LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies granted 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 has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatien are
taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an ineerval 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.
Forms of proposals may be had at the Offices, 449, West
Strand, and 78, King William-street, City.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia-
ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect
security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834.
In 1641 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.
£l,OOO 6 Years 10 Months £136 13 4
1,000 4 Years BO 0 0
1,000 1 Year

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Policies enual to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu-
rances ; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in
the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe.•
chic sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, ONE-HALF' THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAINN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only.
The following aro 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 :
Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0

Flr short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and
forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information
may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.
