The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Premiums
fall due on the sth of July 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 commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, us
Members, on the sth of July next, should appear, or lodge their pro-
posals, at the Office, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of
Life, that it may 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 fol-
lowing classification may be made :
la. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the
profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of Cite 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 advertising
resorted.to, yet its idirantages have been so Well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed 55,0001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re-
dacedForty-two and a-Half per cent.

A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on
application, at the Office.

The attention of Assurers is particularly directed to the detailed
Prospectuses of this Company. Assurances can be effected on a pro-
fit or non-profit scale, and for short periods at a very moderate rate.
When on the life of another, the Policy may he rendered secure, not-
withstanding the life assured may go out of the limits of Europe,
without the necessary permission of the Directors having been pre-
viously obtained—this Plan makes a Policy an absolute security.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
possess the following properties, and are now practically
admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con-
tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c.

They are applicable to these vessels, of every size and shape, from
the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in
diameter :

They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive
in its mture, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious
to moisture.

They preserve the contents of the vessels to which they are applied
perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy,
or fetid.

They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and
the noxious Influence of the musk rat and other vermin.
They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni-
versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil; the capsule being made
of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer-
vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above
useless tinsel,. besides having the advantage of being applied with
much greater ease and rapidity.
They have also the very important property of affording absolute
security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions.
In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use of the
Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the
bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in
tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating
matter, to the fingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every-
thing with which it comes in contact ; and prevents the falling of
such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete-
riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid.
Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven-
tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved
Fruits Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, Oils, Mustard, Ink,
Blacking, &c., &c., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the
bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which
will not incur extra expense.
