'THE unprecedented approbation which this Esta-
.l blishment has received in all parts of the Country, confirms
the Directors in their option of its usefulness, and induces them
again to represent the distinguishing principle of the Association
to a discerning Public.
All Persons, who continue insured with this Association Seven
Years, whether their Policies be originally taken out for seven
years, or be renewed annually, participate equally with the 1
ori-
ginal Subscribers in such profits as may have accrued during that
time. Vl'ith this advantage they have the peculiar and valuable
assurance of not being liable to make good the losses of others, as
the sole responsibility is undertaken by an extensive Association
of Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have subscribed an ample
Capital to guarantee the engagements of the Office.
These Profits are considered to be very certain, as the Office
has a selection of the best business, and its management is mien-
cumbered by large and numerous salaries; the Trustees, Directors,
and Auditors act gratuitously.
Farming Stock insured generally, without the average clause,

jOHNS's PATENT TESSERA, or Artificial
Stone, for Roofs, Gutters, Floors, &c.—The superiority of
Tessera to slate and tile will be so evident on inspection, that it
would be usele.is to enumerate them in an advertisement. With
respect to lead, the Tessera has decided advantages, in being
lighter, not liable to be stolen, equally durable, and bears no com-
parison its expence. General Description :—Tessera Is applicable
to flat or gently sloping roofs, gutters, &e. instead of lead, which,
when laid, it greatly resembles. it exceeds all other coverings in
lightness and cheapness, as it requires no lead for hips and ridges,
and less timbers to carry it. Persons wishing to examine this im-
portant and bighly beneficial discovery, may apply at the Tessera
Manufactory, at Breutfurd, which is floored and roofed with it ;
or (by order from Mr. Hallett), at Messrs. Cleaver's New Soap
Manufactory, at Battersea, where nearly one hundred thousand
