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 Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) ii the event of unforeseen reverses.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect sectnity in an ample paid-up Capital, and in,
the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.
In It-41 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of theh Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of :he Cimpany in March 1834, to the .31st December
1840, is as follows :

TTIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
r,-OFFICE, 1, King 'William-street, London.
:The Rates-of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations 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 shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first divisiorrof profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of CO per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premieres 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 extensive 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,

Low Rites of Premium.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
Sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50.000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
Assurance ]`untie invested in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
Thr, rates of premium are reduced to the lo*est scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.
