LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies graoted 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-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company ha hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatisn are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an inierval of five 3ears, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits fur five complete
years.
Forms of proposals may be had at the Offices, 449, West
Strand, and 78, King William-street. jty.

Low Rates 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 Fund invested in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger, amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest 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.

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.
IPO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
t Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surparising every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and virluable 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 tkat 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 rno,t
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.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notortowly deleterious German Silver
under the guies of " Allude Plate," " Berlin Silver," Etc.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material
so that acids do not affect 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 he told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's
