The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of October next, that the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
October next, should appear at the Office on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classificition may be made :-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.

-
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equally distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last_elass, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre.
dated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
39,5001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
en application at the Office.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly match-
less ALTIATA PLATE. C. WATSON late ALDER-
MAN), Nos. 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and No. 16, NOR-
TON FOLGATE, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resisfng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Publis will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of HIS New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

MENTAL or NERVOUS COMPLAINTS
are the chief cause of human misery. All troubles are
light to men of strong nerves. But disinclination from and
incapacity for study, business, &c., palpitation of heart, low
spirits, determination of blood to the head, vertigo, blushing,
groundless fear, restlessness, wretchedness, sleeplessness, delu-
sions, thoughts of self-destruction, insanity, &c., originate in
weak nerves. A Clergyman having cured himself of a deep-
rooted nervous complaint, of fourteen years' duration, and of
8,000 patients in eight years knows not twenty uncured, from
benevolence rather than gain, offers to cure all who apply to
him. Clergymen. Members of Parliament, Barristers, Officers
of the Army and Navy, Merchants, Tradesmen, &c., have
been cured, and all may be.
