The most rational motives to Ltfe Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the A ;sued, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) the event of unforeseen reverses.

The Additions made to the Life Policies granted by this
Corporation for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per
cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent. on thb
sums assured—a result, it is believed, more favourable than
any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low
rates of premium charged by this Corporation are taken into
consideration.

- ,
In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June,
1829, exceeding One per Cent. per Annum on the Sums in-
sured, en an average of the different Ages; and a second Bonus
of nearly similar amount was declared in une, 1836. At each
period the Bonuses allotted to the different Policies averaged
rather more than 23 per Cent. on the amounts of Premiums
paid thereon during the preceding seven years.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.—Notice is hereby given, that Assu-
rances which expire at Mivhaelraas must be renewed with-
in fifteen days at this office, or with Mr. Sams, No. 1, St.
James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with the Company's
agents throughout the kingdom G. otherwise they become void.
EORGE KEYS, Secretary.

UNIVERS,kL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1. King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
aervations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholder,;
three-fourths tu the former, and one -fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set arrt to enter into the average of
the mecerding years, and thus to prorids against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first. division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society:—

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensiv, data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true risk
of life dur,ng residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,

Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
