In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end
,of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
sevemyears, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained id each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice is hereby given, that assurances which expire at Christmas
must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Same,
1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall; or with the Company's
agents throughout the kingdom, otherwise they become void.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Polioies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
5 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five, years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the, Assurance of 1001.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

For short periods the Premiums are considerably lower, and for
any ages or contingencies not usually advertised information may be
obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.
FIRE DAPARTMENT.
The Company insure houses, furniture. stock in trade, farmieg
stock, and every description of personal property, against loss or
damage by fire.
The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Premiums become
due at Christmas, that no extra charge is made at this Office for the
transfer of Policies, and that they will be rated on terms peculiarly
favourable to parties insuring.
Insurances may be effected for say period of time ; if for seven
years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for six.
