WEN H AM LAKE ICE.
THE TRANSATLANTIC ICE COMPANY beg most respectfully to inform their Patrons and the Public
that, in addition to their former Stock, they have just received ex " George Kendal," from Boston, a large Cargo of that
unequalled

SPRING WATER
FROM THE WENHAM LAKE

I CE,

This Ice has been proved, by Chemical Analysis, to be perfectly pure, which fits it for table use and for mixing with Wines
and Liquors, or Water, while its solidity renders it easy of preservation for a length of time. They would also call their atten-
tion to the fact, that only from them and their Agents can the Wenham Lake Ice be procured, they being the only Importers
and holders of this Ice, all other pretended Importers and Dealers seeking to impose upon the Public an inferior article, when in
fact they have no Wenham Lake, nor any other American, Ice.

The Proprietors take this opportunity to express then; gratitude to their numerous Patrons for the liberal support extended
to thorn during thcir long continuance in the trade, and trust, by prompt attention to an orders entrusted to them, to merit their
continue:: favours.

They also invite particular attention to their STOCK of REFRIGERATORS, consisting of various sizes, and beautiful
designs, lined with Plate Glass, which answer the purpose of Wine Coolers and Provision Safes.
In addition to our large STOCK of WEN HAM LAKE ICE we have a small Shipment of NORWAY (such as is sold
exclusively by other dealers), which answers the purpose of Fishmongers, and those who require a lower priced article, which
will be Sold at a very low price.
N.B.—The Trade and Persons Contracting supplied on the most reasonable terms.

Branches, with Local Boards of Management, are established in the principal towns, and the Shares are now being
distributed throughout the United Kingdom among persons of influence, in order to form Local Constituencies, embracing a
large portion of the insuring public.
The eagerness with which the principles of the UNITY have been acknowledged and adopted by the public is evidenced by
the fact that the Deed, bearing date July, 1852, has in ten months been signed by THREE THOUSAND SHAREHOLDERS,
residents of the principal towns from Southampton to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and that, though the business of the Association
was only commenced at the September quarter of last year, at this early period 2,500 Policies have been issued, insuring
property amounting to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds sterling.
The UNITY has, therefore, commenced business under auspices immeasurably more favourable than attended the inaugu-
ration of those amongst its predecessors which have attained the most gigantic wealth and renown.

THE PROFITS OF THIS COMPANY ARE DIVIDED
I. To the insured, either in Reduction of Premiums or in Cash, TWO-THIRDS.
11. To the Shareholders (besides interest on their Deposits), ONE-THIRD.
THE RATES OF INSURANCE ARE EQUALLY AS LOW AS THOSE OF OTHER RESPECTABLE AND SUBSTANTIAL

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES,

NEW PRINCIPLES

In addition to the usual business of Fire Insurance, the Directors propose to extend the system to
Ist, Insuring a specific sum, payable IMMEDIATELY to the family or other representatives of persons whose lives are
destroyed by Fire, Lightning, or Explosions by Gas.
2nd, Insuring compensation in cases of bodily injury, arising from Fire, Lightning, or Explosions by Gas, either to the
employer or employed, to members of the family, or to servants.
3rd, Insuring compensation for loss of time to persons whose incomes depend on their own individual exertions, consequent
on being prevented for a time from following their occupations through accidents from Fire, Lightning, or Explosions by Gas,
by Tables arranged so as to cover incomes varying from ten shillings per week to .e 5,000 per annum.

The Directors are prepared to undertake every description of Fire Insurance, subject to a rate of premium commensurate
with the risk.
Farming Stock, without the average clause, 4s. per cent.
No charge made for policies when the sum insured amounts to .4,300, nor for endorsements in any cases.
Persons Insuring for seven years by a single payment will pay but six years' premium and duty.
Insurances can be transferred from other offices without any expense, trouble, or inconvenience.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
In consequence of the enormous number of applications for Shares from all parts of the country, the Directors have to
announce that the remaining few can only be given in small numbers, and to persons who will become Fire insurers to a pro•
portionate amount in the Institution.
