FIRE INSURANCES.

The property in the United Kingdom annually insured with
this Company amounts to upwards of SIXTEEN MILLIONS,
and is progressively increasing. Losses by fire, when satis-
factorily ascertained, are immediately paid, and the Directors
can refer with confitl• nee to several thousand indivi,•+uals who
have obtained the most prompt and liberal remuneration for
their accidental losses.
LIFE ASSURANCES.

The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary mom 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary )
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
chareed by this Onn,,any are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five ye rs, and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
To facilitate loan transaction' a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained a the above offices, or at any of the Com-
nany's Branch Establishments throughout the kingdom.

LIGHT AND HEARING.—TESTIIiONIALS.
11 i" The Messrs. S. and R. SOLOMONS' Newly-inverted
SPECTACLE LENSES afford astonishing relief to extremely
'imperfect vision—We give them the decided preference to
every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view
the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are
particularly pleasant by candle light., as they appear cooling to
the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights :
