LIFE ASSURANCES.

The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary )
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Company are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years. and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
To facilitate loan transactions a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained at. the above offices or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establishments throughout the kingdom.

QIGHT AND HEARING.—TESTI,II.O.NIALS.
" The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' Newly-invented
SPECTACLE LENSES afford astonishing relief to extremely
'mperfect vision—We give them the decided preference to
every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view
the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are
particularly pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to
the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights :

which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling-piece, and when fixed into
the cavi.y of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
svit'i distinctness.
