The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January 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 Mrsioxits. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth if
April 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 chf ice 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
classification 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 equitably distributed amongst t:ie assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, 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-
ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
37,5001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's of--,
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
on application at the Office.

Thousands of Pounds Loss.—The assignees have accepted the
offer of BROOKS and WIG HTWICK, of the Borough, for
the whole of the stock, with the exception of two lots. These.
Goods have just been removed to their premises in the Bo-
rough, facing the end of Union-street, to be sold off at a ruin-
ous loss, the estate not realising more than ss. in the pound.
Amongst this enormous and well-known stock there are a large
quantity of Carpets, which are to be sold at less than half the
cost. Hemp Carpets, yard wide, will be sold at 6%d. per
yard ; 80 pieces of real Kidderminster, all wool, will be sold
from Is. 6d. to 2s. 2d. per yard, those at 2s. 2d. having posi-
tively cost 3s. 9d.; also Brussels, good patterns, from 2s. 2d.
to 2s. 9d.; and about 70 pieces of the best extra qualities at
3s. 6d.' usually sold at 4s. 9d and ss. 3d.

piece, for
1,370 Pieces of Fine Calico will be reduced from 4d

It is only nee, ssary to call the attention of families who buy
linens, sheetings, &e., to the advantages that must be derived
on such an occasion as this bankruptcy, the house having been
established thirty years, and the goods always considered of the
first character.
The sheetings and. table cloths require particular notice,
being so large a portion of the stock. Linen sheetings, real
Barnsley, will be sold, three yards wide, at 10s. O. the pair,
common qualities being reduced as low as ss. and ss. sd. the
pair, double width.
Table-cloths will be sold at unheard-of prices ; there are
some very curious cloths and napkins, with emblematic de-
signs, that must be viewed as a curiosity, nevertheless on this
eceasion will be sold at the price of an inferior article. 430
cloths, full three yards lung, superb damask, that cost 30s. to
355. each, will be all sold, each 12s. 6d. Forty cloths, fultfive
yards long, w..rtli at at least five guineas, will be sold at 255.

the dozen, those at Its. 6d. the dozen being a yard square, and
of the very choicest description.
Most persons may remember the name this house once had,
as being the cheapest house in the trade, ladies often visiting
Whitechapel from distant parts of the town, to make their pur-
chases of linens more particularly ; these goods are the
r
at one-half the bankrupts' cost price, consequently the saving
must be obvious, and worthy of the attention of heads of
families, tavern-keepers, the trade, &c.
Brooks and Co. apologise for the confusion on the premises,
as this enormous quantity of goods are scarcely sorted for tine
first few days. —lO6, High-street, Borough, facing the end of
Union-street. Wholesale warehouse in King-street.

be taken off the bill.
