DISIPASF.D ANTI HEALTHY LIVES ASSURED.
mEDICAL, ' INVALID, AND GENERAL 'LIFE
OFFICE,
23, PALL MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU-STRBET,
DUBLIN.

SIJBCRIBED CAPITAL, £500,000

At a numerous meeting November, 1846.
of the Proprietors, held at th Com: my's Offices, 25, Pall Mall, on the 26th instant, it wase shown
by the Report of the Auditors and Directors—
That this Company= was the first to Assure DISEASED AND
INVALID LIVES in a systematic manner, and on the same safe
and defined principles as those on which ordinary Offices assure
Healthy Lives ; and't hat at the present it is the only Company
furnished with scientific wad well-constructed Tables showing
the duration of life in the,ditTerent classes and various stages.of
disease.

That the Public have feltthe urgent necessity for a Company
established on such principles, was rendered manifest by the
fact, that during. the periodof five years in which the Society
bad been in. business, no%less than 2051 proposals had 'been
made to'-it, covering Assurances to upwards of One Million of
money. ,The nuMber of Policies issued far exceeds the average
of that of most of the old and successful Offices in a similar pe-
riod; and the business has been gradually prooTessive the

that as the establishment of'the Company has become more
generally known, the public have more freely embraced the pe-
culiar advantages which; it offers, thus affording every reason
to believe that the business of the Company will still go on ra-
pidly increasing. .

Obtained possession of a watch, the property of Mr-.
Joshua Walmesley. The latter stated that he had bought
...the ticket for the watch (which was in pledge) eight
months ago, from the prisoner. It was pledged for 3s. 6d.
In June last, the prisoner went to the pawnbroker, and
represented that he had lost the ticket. He then, by
the usual process of affidavit, redeemed the article, and
it was found in his possession. He was remanded until
yesterday, and when again brought up, the case being
farther confirmed, the prisoner was committed for trial
at the next assizes.

That the number of deaths that have taken place has been
under the number estimated by the Tables of the Society linearly
ten per cent.; strong proof of the safety and correctness of
the data and principles on which they are founded ; and that
these facts conclusively show that busines in INVALID LIVES
can be transacted with as much .safety as that in HEALTHY
LIVES; that the prejudice which once prevailed against this
class of business is rapidly disappearing; and that there are
few Companies which are not satisfied that this kind of Areal,

ance may be done with security and profit, so much so that se-
veral have now become anxious for it. That it is also gratify-
ing to be able to state, that avery large proportion of old-esta-
blished Offices have latterly co-operated with this Society by
sendin,, it a considerable amount afbusiness.
That the public have derived a great benefit from the esta-
blishment of this •Company, is. shown by the fact, that 66 per
cent. of the lives assured had been rejected by other offices;
'thus extending the highly valuable benefits of Life Assurance
to a large section of the community not embraced by other
companies. This result will be the better understood when it
is stated, that in the mature period of life the deaths' from one
disease only, Consumption, in the principal towns of England,
are more than one-third of the total deaths in the Ramp npri.ri • A .1 fa. • . _

sand and silt have been accumulating near SeacOmbe
Ferry, preventing altogether the landing of small craft on
the south side of the slip. On Saturday it was found that
the deposit had so greatly increased, that the wheels of
the•moveable slip had become too firmly embedded to be
moved by the engine; and at high water the sea made a clear
breach over the slip and engine, carrying away the engine-
house,llut happily doing not so much injury to the ma-
chinery of the engine itself. We imagine that this occur-
ence will form the subject of litigation betweeti, the owners
of the ferry and the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners.
IMPROVEMENTS IN I3IRRENHEAD.—Amongst the many
improvements that are daily manifesting themselves in
this locality, there is none more worthy of notice than
that of the erection by Mr. Green of a suite of splendid
rooms, to • facilitate his business as an auctioneer and
general furnisher. The front is entirely of stone, and
the interior is, we believe, as capacious as any establish-
ment in the kingdom, and, being built purposely, as con-
venient, if not more so ; indeed the facilities afforded by

There is no speculation in this undertaking ; Mr. Green's

In the second place, that the risk of Assuring Disr-ased
Lives, must, from its own nature, fie less, and its print-iples be
found to rest on a more satisfactory bath, tharahose which re-
gulate ordinary assurances.

persons at every age, among those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia. disease of the heart, apoplexy,
alysis, epilepsy, insanity, disease of the liver, dropsy, scro-

That in all cases where satisfactory proof is given that the
causes for an increased rate of premium have ceased,a reduc-
.tion in the premium is made.
increased Annuities are granted on Unsound Lives.
No extra Premiums are required on Healthy Lives, in the
Army or Navy, unless in actual service.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates,
are Assured with as much facility and at lower rates than at
most other offices ; and a Capital of Half-a-Million sterling
fatly subscribed affords a complete guarantee for the fulfilment
of the Company's engagements.

THE DISPUTED MIN/C.—The sages of old disputed the
title of the nectar the gods partook of. Some held it
claret, but in winter their ardour cooled. Others advo-
cated the juice of the grape; but all who have had the
fortune to taste the Duke of Argyle's whiskey agree that if
this is not the draught itself, it at least equals, if it dogs
not surpass' the favoured libations. It is of the finest
Cambleton distillery, and is so perfectly free from that
smoky nauseousness, that it is not like any thing usually
vended, and whether taken cold or in " toddy," the na-
tives of the land-o'vcalieti pronoun it ",great-man."
