and the principal TOWNS ..f the UNITED KINGI3OI‘a, con.
tinue to grant Insurances against FIRE, on the Terms and C.
ditions of their printed Proposals, delivered tratis.
The Directors have great pleisurein reflecting that by their
exertions and plans the benefits and principles of Insurance are
more generally felt and understood ; and they treat that they heiVe
a claim for preference with the Public, flw the libtril enadoct
they have evinced in all their transactions. Premiums for Inv
aureate renewable at Christmas must be paid on or wore the
9th day of lauuary next.

Surveys within the Bills of Mortality, when considered neees.
eery, have always been made by this Office, without any Charge
to the Insured. Fees have never been permitted to be taken in
any case or under any pretence whatever. Conniaisdon
Brokers on Shipping and Fdreign Insurances also, have always
been allowed. Endorsements of Alteration or Itemoval entered
without Fee.

having been informed that several
Estates stand charged witb,anneities to persons residing in Great.
Britain, payable out of the proceeds of the said Estates, and that
k kat leconie a practice to deduct the amount of the said annul:
ties from the Estimate of Profits, thereby not only reducing the
income of the Proprietor, but concealing the payment of said
annuities, think it neeessary to state, that no annuity or interest
of money charged on any Estate in his Majesty's Foreign Domi-
nions ought to be deducted from the Estimate of Profits, but
ought to be included therein as part of the profits of the Estate,
payable to the Annuitants; and that the Proprietors or their
Agents are re pettively liable to the duty to be charged thereon ;
land that, in all cases, where, after payment of such annuities, no
profit would remain to be accounted for by the Proprietors or
their Agents, they are bound to return the amount of such An-
neitiei and to be charged for them ; in all which cases the Pro-
prietors or their Agents respectively are to deduct from the re-
spective Annuitants their proportion of the duty so charged in
respect theteof. By order of the Board,

WESTMINSTER SOCIETY
For In.suranse on Lives and Surviverships and granting Annuities,
STRAND AND CORNHILL, LONDON.
THIS Society; instituted for the conveniency and
accommodation of every class and condition of life, was es-
tablished in London, in 1192, upon a plan settled after the most
mature consideration and approbation of several of the most MU-
nent of His Majesty's Counsel.
It embi-aces two objects of concern to the public, viz: Insurance
on Lives and Survivorships and granting Annuities.
INSURANCE ON LIVES.

This object affords the opportunity to provide for the Aied,
the Widow and the Fatherless, and to guard against the loss and
disappointment of a dependance on the casualty of life. To this
end any person, for the annual premium specified in the tables,
can secure to his Widow and Children the payment of such a aim
of money, as in his jhdgment will save them from that distress
and poverty which his death would otherwise occasion.—ln the
case of fines for the renewal of Leases held on Lives, a very
neticial advantage is secured to the parties holding such Leases,
by insuring the amount therof on the Life or Lives of the person
or persons, at whose death suck fines are payable. The purchase
money for Life Interests or Annuities may be secured by insuring
the Life of the party upon whom the same depends.—Pcrsons
holding Church Preferment or any other sitoation, by which they
posses only Inconie for Life, may secure a reversion of a stip'
rated amount in money to their Widows or Familles.—Persons
holding employments in public offices, depending either on the
Lives of themselves or of others, may, by the modes adopted fa
this Office, be secured from loss in ease of the death of the party
on whose Life the same may be held.—Any person not possessed
of an independent property before marriage, may, by inswing his
Life, be enabled to make such settlement on his intended wife,
as shall be deemed requisite.—Among the various benefits this
Office affords, none, perhaps, maybe greater, than the opportu•
pity it gives for satisfying creditors, where the ability of the debtor
to discharge their claims depends on the continuance of the life—
This may be accomplished by securing, through annual payments
en a Life Insurance, a sum to be paid at the death of the &btu ;
failure in trade may by this be prevented, and arrannanikekshode
iu consequenCe equally beneficial to debtor and eredltor., •
N. B. Any person having insured his Life arab he, Sys
by will, dispose of the property to vise 'therefreai, ai bit olio
penetal estate.
• GRANTING ANNUITIES •
Affords a resource against Old Age, Sickness,
s.
and other casualties of Life.
By this Office, every pecuniary provision may be ieelidedr
To a party personally, or for his Widow, Ciandrets, orailladdede
as{ Marriage Settlements procured.
