this day declared of a Moiety of the whole Profits of the LIFE
DEPARTMENT, payable upon, and with the sum insured by,
Policies effected for the v:hole term of Life, on and prior to
December 31, 1840, and in force on the 30th of June, 1841

many respectively.
The Bonus on each Policy may be known by application at
the Company's Offices, Cornhal and Baker-street. London ;

Besides this large appropriation, and in addition to the former
divisions, a reserve has been made out of the surplus profits of
an amount which, with the moiety aforesaid, is equal to two-
thirds of the whole profits of the Life Di partm nt. This re-
serve be to accumulate towards the next septennial divi-
sion of profits in the year 1848, and in which all new insurers,

and seven years, can also be effected at conside:ably reduced
premiums, to which profits do not attach ; and the premiums
will bc received half-yearly, or quarterly, if more convenient
than yearly.

tice of this Company, to grant such policies.

PENSE, and to be enabled to discontinue an assurance at a
smaller sacrifice than by any ether means, the assured may adopt
tlie half premium credit system, and retain one-half of the first

ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As-
surance, in their fttllest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation than can be obtained

claim to public preference and support, have been proved in-
contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
Among others, the following important advantages may be
enumerated :

the use of this Company, from authentic and complete data,
and presenting the lowest Rates of Assurance that can be of-
fered without compromising the safety of the Institution.
Increasing rates of premium on a new and remarkable plan,
for securing ►oans or debts, a less immediate payment being
required on a policy for the whole term of life than in any
other office.

erly, in one sum, or in a limited number of payments.

advertised for auction on the premises, corner of Fleet-street
and Farringdon-street, trading under the firm of Hebblewhite
and Co., notice having been given that an auction is not per-
mitted by the lease.
Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods,
begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected
to realise more than half the original cost, the object being to
clear the whole off the pi emises by the 25th of March, and any
portion then remaining must of necessity be removed to the
Auction-rooms.
Ladies are s elicited to make allowances for the awkwardness
of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, con-
se,,uently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter.
The following is about the reduction intended to be made :
The linens, being the larger portion, will be reduced as
under : a. d.

respectable family trade carried on for thirty years at this es-
tablishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fi, e and
warranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to
the chauces,usual on selling off stocks, of risking the durability.
Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the
length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair—those at 10s. Cd.,
being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having
originally cost 2s. 9d per yard. Should the length be found
inconvenient, a further reduction will be made in the price.
The table cloths, although of the finest description, are mostly
soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some
superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as
6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked
from fs. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to
six yards 'ong, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold
none higher than 30s.
Mr. Foster wants an offer for the following lots from the
trade :—Ribands, as per book. 1,8301. ; Lace, as per book,
6401. ; Gloves, as per book, 1431.

Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not
felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies
may depend that every article will fully answer the description
given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale.
The principal part of the stock, having been kept in their
wholesale warehouses, will be fsund in good condition, and
any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle will exist in
the way of price; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the

PUGH'S MOURNING ESTABLISHMENT,
163, Regent-street, three doors from Burlington-street.
To Families that are unacquainted with the convenience and great
utility attending their being supplied from this Establishment
with every posslble requisite in MOURNING, J. W. P. begs to
say that on the proximity of their loss being named the proper
mourning (already made up), or in materials, as may be pre-
ferred, can be had either for families or household. The ap-
propriate mourning will be placed before them, or forwarded
without the least delay. The great patonage J. Walter Pugh
has received since his introduction of the " Maison de Deuil"
into England in April, 1840, enables him to offer, with the
advantage of experience, every article upon terms the most
economical. Families who have not visited his Establishment
can form no idea of the great extent and variety in widows' and
every branch of family mourning to be met with at this house,
163, Regent-street.
