perfect security iu a large paid-Up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL

In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they we: e effected.
The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

ance is for Life.

To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY

.he establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch,
GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of
I beg leave to
address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions,
he operations of
and the probable result of the proposed extension of t
the Company.
That the "Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I
trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public,
is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000
policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In
order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos-
sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two
highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies
have successively transferred their business to this establishment.
The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the
latter in the course of the past year.
It is in consequence of this last-mentlOned transfer, which included
a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and
also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on
this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that
the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual
Assurance Branch, on the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it
had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes-
sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially convened on the
occasion.
The general objection to Mutual Assurance Societies, that (in their
infancy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the
Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary
Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the
" Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders
protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Brandi,
but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the
Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti-
tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of
the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old
established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the
benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which
experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best.
Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plait (as gene-
rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in
the flist instance, in order to form a fund—not only far the payment
of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the
policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of
the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing
half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five
years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to
which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual liquida-
tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder
enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first
Instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in
the profits.
In availing myself of this opportunity of congratulating my co-
shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at-
tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I
trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still further to congratu-
late them ou the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch,
which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded
on a plan calculated, in every possible way, to benefit and accommo-
date the public.
I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without
calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has
been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important
occasion, but also in every other instance in which their advice and
assistance have been needffil for promoting the Interests of the usti-
tution. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
PETER MORRISON, Managink Director.

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience In the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

MEEN FUN ; or, CELESTIAL SKIN
POWDER. The celebrated Chinese Cosmetic for preserv-
ing the complexion, and for rendering the skin white, smooth, and
soft. The great value of this cosmetic is, that the ingredients being
solely herbaceous, the most delicate complexion can apply it with-
oat injury, while rough, red and moist skins speedily experience
beneficial results. It will be found besides to prevent erruptions on
the skin during cold and chilly weather, Another important feature
is that of repressing, without detriment to the sanatory condi-
tion of the user, the truly unpleasant sensation accompanying
too copious perspiration. For infants this powder is invaluable, on
account of its harmless and soothing qualities. Gentlemen who
suffer from the effects of shaving will find a ready alleviate in this
cosmetic.

The sole Proprietors are Fabian and Co. (late Watson, Fabian,
and Co.), 24, Mark-lane, London ; without whose signature on the
Labels none are genuine. To be had, wholesale of them, and retail
of all respectable Perfumers, Chemists, &c, in town and country, in
Boxes, price 3s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. each.

NOVELTIES, Ecc.
The metropolitan improvements are so rapidly ex-
tending in every direction, that ere long London must
become the most mrgnificent city in the universe. In the
gay and lively promenade of Regent-street, there is, how-
ever, no room for improvement ; all is already so beau-
tifully constructed, that if a Committee of taste—such as
ruled triumphant in the days of George Selwyn—was
requested to suggest any alteration in this magnificent
thoroughfare, they would be perplexed in the extreme
to find the means of adding another charm to its fair
proportions.
At this outbreak of the London season, the full return
of the mingling tides of business, pleasure, and fashion,
is in no point of view so strikingly observable as in the
expositions which are set forth by the principal trades-
people of this street, whose stores and show-rooms,
counters and windows, now teem with the rich and
varied produce of the myriad resources of art and manu-
facture. In this gay and ever-changing scene, the lugu-
brious aspect, even of a maison de deuil, with its sombre
and stately portals, is not displeasing to the eye, as it
subdues the glare and glitter from the gaudy colours
which sparkle around in every direction ; and assuredly
Messrs. Jay and Co. may congratulate themselves on
having made no inconsiderable addition to the conve-
nience of the public by the formation of their London
general mourning warehouse, for the distressing
necessity which rendered it formerly incumbent on
persons
in immediate want of their " customary suits of
solemn black" to seek for various articles at different
shops is here obviated. Every thing requisite for this

tarial to families thus sadly circumstanced should
so long have been a desideratum in this huge metro..
polls. The French ladies, "to one thing constant
never," have recently adopted the English custom of
wearing half-mourning; which, without detracting from
the respect due to the memory of those mourned for,
relieves the sad and solemn monotony of black attire.
This has given an increased impetus to the manu-
facture of several exquisite fabrics in lavender and
half-mourning ; but many patterns which_ existed
only in colours have been reproduced expressly for this
establishment in silks, muslins, bereges, &c, the effect
of which is quite novel, and cannot fail
oflks being, admired.
There is a great display of figured s
mouseline de laines, and
millinery, in h a

from the stores of the Parisian maisons de deuil. If
we succeed in passing unscathed through the crowds
of carriages which :re ceaselessly rolling to and
fro with their gaudy liveries over the broad ex-
panse glittering in all its gaiety, what splendid shops
meet our view on the other side of the street !
The display of waistcoats, robes de chambre, with an
inexhaustible variety of vestments, at Messrs. Nicoll,
the Court tailors, near the Quadrant, are always attract-
ing the attention of the modern Maccaronis who listlessly
lounge about this street. From the numbers of well-
dressed men who are met with in their registered pale-
tots, we should surmise that the Messrs. Nicoll must al-
ready have profited largely by their invention. This
garment is so great an improvement upon the old
" wrap-rascal," that its general adoption by men
of taste is inevitable. Those who confidently place
themselves under the surveillance of these Court
