Tke additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
cured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatkn are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an in•erval of five years, and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's aational
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

The principle of this Company is to allow to each Assurer
such reasonable advantages, as may suit his particular views.
Thus, parties Assuring the Lives of others, may make their
Policies secure, notwithstanding the Life Assured may go out
of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the
Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the
Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Policies effected
for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured
for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their
Polities, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that
fnr the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in
the Office, on real or undoubted Personal Security, for terms
not exceeding three years, repayable by instalments. Premiums
moderate. Participation in profits. Detailed Prospectuses
may be obtained on application at the Office, or by letter

CE►JENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.
MO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and alsa
I Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gl-ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a meet
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS ( Gratis),

clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," •' Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses.' The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS
have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by
this Company, and the following are some of its distinguishing
and important features, which have been introduced after
mature deliberation. They will be most conveniently pointed
out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes
—FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY
TRANSACTION POLICIES.
FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES.— In the well-
founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per-
sons making provisions for their families and mmtemplating a
long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the
claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may
carry with them a sight to participate in the profits to be re-
alised by the Company during the currency of their Policies.
By the Deed of Constitution of this Company, the participa-
ting Assured are entitled to the. Whole of the Mutual Profits, as
if they had been Assured in a purely Mutual Society and
they have, at the same time, the security not only of the funds
of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but
also the proprietary funds and subscribed capital of the Com-
pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits
which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital,
and from the excess of the premiums derived from the nor.-
participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits,
so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is
adopted only by this Company.
MONEY TRANSACTION POLICIES.—An acquain-
tance with the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, proves
that considerable changes were required in the practice and
rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies
valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no
foreseen circumstances or future accidents could invalidate.
This Company hag endeavoured, and they think successfully,
to render their Policies as indefeasible and negotiable secu-
rities as possible, con,istently with a due regard to the safety of
the contracting parties; and to effect this object. the Company
has introduced the following clause into their Deed of Settle-
ment :
Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company
shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the
issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity,
and it shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment
of the money assured thereby, on the ground of any error, mis-
take, or omission, bowever important, made by or on the part
of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the
contrary, the amount receivable under the sant, shall be paid
at the time stipulated by the to the person entitled
thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made
or discovered, unless the Polley shall have been obtained by
fraudulent misrepresentation.
In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the
hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured,
leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed limits,
the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO-
LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium,
varying in amount according to the circumstances of the case,
but fixed and determined at the time of issuing the Policy,
the Debtor, on whose Life an Assurance has been effected. is
entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in-
validating the Assurance; by which means the Creditor's
claim is rendered certain.
To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST
POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it
at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a seven years' flaj-
premium system has been introduced; and, upon comparing
the following scale with any other whii.h has been devised for
seducing present payments, it will be seen how much more
economically a loan tran,action can be fortified by this kind
of policy than by any other. The Half-premium system pos-
sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those
for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of
cantinuing for Life the Policy which he way have procured for
a mere temporary purpose.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 16.

of Error.

SIMPSON V. LORD NOWDEN.

Mr. BETHELL was about to resume his arguments to-day
on the writ of error in behalf of the defendant, Lord llowden,
when he was interrupted by their Lordships stating that they
were satisfied the judgment in the Court below was correct.—
Judgment affirmed, with costs.

R I NISTON E'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Mjesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
4rders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED!

Crucknell and Feaver ;" the composition was that
Crucknell should go out, that Feavcr should take the
partnership assets, and that Feaver should pay the part-
nership debts ; and the partnership debts, instead of
being paid in full, should be paid I Is. 6d. in the pound,
and that Nash should put his name to a promissory note,
to secure the fourth instalment. That being the c:imi:o-
- proposed, it alleges that, after that proposal %I' fiS
made, Nash objected to be security for the fourth instal-
ment, unless Crucknell would agree not to sue Hitch-
cock, and Truman, and Lewellin, or either of them, in
respect of any cause of action whatsoever that he might
have against them jointly, or any two of them separately,
or either of them individually, down to that period.
Then it alleges that Crucknell agreed, that if Na:h
would give his indorsement to such of the creditors—
What I want to draw your Lordships' attention to is,
that the arrangement proposed was the usual arrange-
ment, or a composition deed, before I go into the argu-
ment upon this;—that if all the creditors of the firm will
accept,lls. 6d. in the pound, we will agree to take the
.11s. 6d. in the pound, and Nash is to give a security.
This Nash-Objects to give that security, unless the plain-
tiff will agree not to sue any of the defendants, in re-
spect of any cause of action. Then it alleges this agree-
ment, that if Nash would give his security to such of
the creditors of the firm as should be pleased to accept
I Is. 6d, in the pound, the plaintiff would agree never to
sue Truman, or Hitchcock, or Lewellin ; not that Nash
would•give his security to all the creditors of the firm,
so that all the creditors shottldTelease, but tIIO limited
agreement was, if Nish would agree to give his security
to such of the creditors of the firm as should come in.
He would not agree without that stipulation. Then it
alleges that Nash did give his security to such of the
el:editors as came in—namely, those creditors of the
fourth part, who executed the deed.

Mr. PEACOCK—I appear for the defridant William
Hitchcock, and I will shortly explain to you the view
upon which the plea is formed. It appeared the plain-
tiff had a cause of action against the defendant for a
misrepresentation; the declaration states that Thomas
Feaver and Thomas Lewellin were in partnership, and
that they were, about to dissolve partnership, and
did afterwards dissolve that partnership in 1837. It
then alleges that Thomas Feaver and Thomas Lewellin
were at that time indebted to the defendant-and Richard
Lewellin in a sum of 3,000/. • that the plaintiff was de-
sirous to enter into partnership with Feaver, and that
the defendant misrepresented the circumstances of
Feaver—that is the declaration. Now the answer to that is
this—that the plaintiff and Feaver afterwards were in-
debted to the defendants and Richard Lewellin in
2,1071., and he was also indebted to William Nash and
other creditors to the amount of 40,0001. Then there was
a proposal made for a composition, and it appears that
William Nash, who was one of the creditors, had
off -red to become surety for one of the instalments of
the composition. It appears that afterwards, and before
the creditors had come in and consented to take the
composition, and before Nash had actually bound him-
self to -any of the creditors, Nash refused to become
surety for the composition unless the plaintiff would
give up any cause of action he might have against the
defendant in respect of the misrepresentation.
Mr. ERLE—Any cause of action ?
Mr. PEAcocK—Any cause of action.
• The LORD CHIEF BARON—Has he giveri it up ? Has
the plaintiff released him .?
Mr. PEACOCK—No, my Lord, he has not released
him, but the plaintiff represents to Nash, that if he will
become security for him for the last of those instalments
to the defendant, and his other creditors, he represents to
Nash, he will give up the action as against the defendant.
Then :he question is, whether, if Nash, confiding in that
stipulation, and the defendants also confiding in that,
came into a composition which is binding upon them,
and prevents them from suing the plaintiff for the full
amount of their debts, whether it would not be a fraud
upon Nash, and those other creditors, who came into the
composition on the faith of that representation, that the
plaintiff; after they have done so upon the faith of that
representation, should violate that agreement he has
come to with Nash, and sue the defendant in this action
for the original cause of action. That is the question.
The Loan CHIEF BARON—This is a question between I
the plaintiff and the persons with whom he made the'
contract.

Mr. PEACOCK—Yes, my Lord, and the defendant;
because if your Lordship will allow me to call yt ur at-
tention particularly to this plea, you will perceive this
composition was a valid composition, and the defendant
came into this composition upon the faith of that repre-
sentation which had been made to Nash, that Nash came
into the composition also as one of the creditors upon
the faith of that stipulation, and Nash also gave his secu-
rity to the other creditors, which induced the other cre •
ditors to come in upon the faith of that representation.
The question is, is it not a fraud, when all these parties
have been induced to change their circumstances upon
the faith of this representation, that the plaintiff; imme-
diately he got them into that situation, should turn round
upon them all, and bring this action? That is the ques-
tion. Now there are many cases to show that an action
may be prevented, if that action would be a fraud upon
a third party. If it were alleged that, if the parties were
to bring an action, it would be a fraud upon a third
party, that would be a defence to the action.
The LORD CHIEF BARON.—I am of opinion this plea is
bad upon the grounds stated in this demurrer. That the
plea may be double or multifarious cannot be a defence ;
the pleading in such a manner as to be an imperfect and
bad plea, does not necessarily prevent its being double ;
and in my opinion, although the mode in which this is
pleaded as a fraud upon the other creditors would not be
sustainable, yet it is the attempt of the defendant to
take that ground ; and he also so argues his plea. So
with respect to the question, whether he does not mean
to set up accord and satisfaction upon that ground, I
think it is bad. We shall have the question by and by,
whether accord and satisfaction be a good plea in this
action—whether this plea is good as accord and satis-
faction ? All I can say is, that, though generally speak-
ing- a great deal of that which is stated upon this plea
might be evidence to point to a conclusion, yet the plea
does not state it with sufficient distinctness, if it rested
only on accord and satisfaction. At all events the plea
is bad, being double ; therefore I think the demurrer
must be allowed.

Mr. Baron ALDERSo7.—According to the argument
there are t e defences :—the agreement with Nash that
he should Fecome surety, in consideration of which the
party is not to proceed against the present defendant—
the agreement with the defendants themselves to make
out the debt for 11s. Gd. in the pound, with the additional
stipulation—and then the fraud upon the rest of the
creditors, as it is said, in entering into that arrangement
with the knowledge that this was the arrangement
between the present plaintiff and the defendant. The
plea sets up ail these defences, and the•argument sug-
gests all those are separate defences. It seems to me
the plea under all those circumstances is bad. The case
must turn ultimately upon the agreement between the
parties, and it would be a lawful agreement if it were
with the knowledge of the rest of the creditors : that is
to say, the superior advantage which the defendant gets
over the rost of the creditors by having this demand
released, would be no answer, because, if the reason of
that stipulation were known to the creditors, there was
no fraud in it, because they entered into it with full
knowledge of what was done between the parties.
Mr. Baron GITRNEY—I am of the same opinion.
Mr. Baron ROLFE—I am of the same opinion.

IMPORTANT TO -ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE. BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—SCIIWeppO'S
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chiefes-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mend for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to prartice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
la ter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
opride to the fact that they constawly supply the Royal Palaces
ft London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea t
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratif) ing is the testimony
