It is proposed, also, to lay down the electric telegraph between
Manchester and Southampton, an object of paramount utility to the
commercial classes in connexion with the arrival and departure of
the mails.

The intended line has been inspected by qualified parties. For a
considerable distance it is of an easy character, and throughout it
presents no striking or costly engineering features. No residential
case occurs, and the promoters have confidence that the undertaking
will be cordially approved of by the landed and other local interests.
It has the sanction and active assistance of Directors from almost
every line o: railway which it affects, either immediately or re-
motely. It has been submitted to the Council of the borough of
Southampton, by whom resolutions in its favour have been unani-
mously passed. It has the earnest support of the inhabitants of that
town, and of the manufacturing and commercial classes of the North,
and the promoters are not aware of any grounds, either public or
private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be withheld
from it. _ _

_ .

This Society is supported by an ample subscribed Capital, and by a
considerable accumulated premium fund.

Assurances are effected at a low rate of premium, without profits,
or at an increased premium, with participation in the profits of the
Office.

A bonus in ready money, at the rate of fifteen per cent. on the
premiums received (equivalent to a reversionary bonus of about
thirty per cent.) was declared in May, 1842, on all beneficial po-
licies on which three annual premiums had been paid in the December
previous.
A division of the profits takes place every five years, and the
holders of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in ready
money, or have them applied in augmentation of their policies, or in
reduction of their future premiums.
Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one sum, in
a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay-
ments, or on the ascending or descending scale.
Officers in the Army and Navy on active service, Persons afflicted
with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the
limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate Rates.
Prospectuses and all necessary information may be obtained at the
Office. MICHAEL SAWARD, Secretary.
