Tills Company is founded upon the principle of
dividing the whole of its Profits amongst the Proprittors
and such Persons as have effected Insurances. To the Proprietoes
a fair rate of Interest will be paid on their advanced Capital, with
a Dorms of One.third of the Profits ; and to the Insured (whether
Proprietors or not), a Bonus of the remaining Two thirds, in pro-
portion to the Premiums paid by each on Policies of not less than
One Year's duration. The Interest will be paid ALI ually, and
the Bonuses will be divided every Seven Years. The suhsztjhed
Capital of Five MILLIONi IS divided into 230,000 Shares oirsio
each, upon which Two Pounds per Share, amounting to £500,000,
have been paid and invested ; and as each Proprietor is bound to
effect and keep up Insurances equal to the amount of his Shares,
or to pay a fine of One Shilling per Share annually, the Company
secures .1 certain and accumulating business, the Profits of which
will be divided amongst all who are connected with it, whether as
Proprietors or Insurers ; thus the Proprietor has a profitable in-
vestment of his Capital, and the Insured participates largely in the
profits of a Company, whose business is commanded by the
number and oblizations of its Proprietors.
An Insurance in advance for Six Years, entitles the Insurer to
the benefit of Seven Years Insurance.

Losscs will be settled and paid promptly; and claims submitted
to Arbitration, if required.
Losses by Lightning will be made good.
No charge will be made for Policies of £3OO and upwards.
The Company have made the following REDUCTION in the
It ATES of PRESIIU 31 hitherto charged on the three common
,classes of Insurance. The Reduction applies equally to Insurances
in London and throughout the Country, except in 'pedal cases.
Ist Class is reduced from 2s. to Is. 6d. per Cent.
2d . 3s. to gs. 6d.
341, . ss. to vs. 641.

'roc Directors call the attention of the Proprietors to the obii-
gation which they are wider, of effecting, on or before the sth day
of January next, by themselves or sub.titutes, an Insurance to the
extent of Twenty Pounds per Share ; as all Shares then unco-
vered by Insurance will be liable to a fine of One Shilling per Share.
Persons desirous of becoming Agents to this Company in Places
and District. where Appointments have not yet been made, are
requested to address their applications and references to the Se-
cretary. WILMER HARRIS, Secretary.
