ADDRESS TO CAPITALISTS.
Experience has shown that there is no more secure or
profitable way of investing capital than in Life Assurance
Companies. So great, indeed, were the gains of the earlier
Companies, that, in the space of a few years only, the various
subdivisions of society, such as the Medical, Legal. Naval,
and Military, have each formed its own peculiar Life As-
surance Association, on the well-founded expectation of
sharing in their enormous profits. The Freemasons now
come into the field; a class of all others the most influential
by its numbers, and the most united by a general, and it may
be said, a sacred principle. Actuated by the spirit which
should influence' every Freemason, the Directors of the new
Company intend appropriating a share of their profits to such
benevolent purposes, connected with Freemasonry, as shall
he approved by the United-Grand Lodge of England, while
Past Masters and Masters of Lodges, will be preferred as
Agents. With the same views and feelings, a limited num-
ber of Shares has been set apart for distribution among
Lodges, which may desire to become proprietors in their
aggregate capacity.
It would be absurd to suppose that all these sacrifices are
purely disinterested—that no return is expected for them.
On the contrary, the directors look for great and substan-
tial advantages; but they are such as flow naturally out of
their connexion with Freemasonry, and which, from the
widely-extended ramifications of that body, not through
England only, but through the whole of the civilised world,
promise fait to make this the first and most profitable esta-
blishment of the kind.

But it is not only from its connection with Freemasonry
that the capitalist is to look for the expected augmentation
of profits; independent of the various new, as well as cus-
tomary forms of assurance, which are set forth in the pro-
spectus, the company will purchase reversionary interests, as
well as annuities, present or deferred, absolute, or contin-
gent. They will also grant annuities If, too, the prospec-
tus be attentively considered, it must be evident that the
very extent of accommodation afforded to the public, opens
up a multitude of profitable resources, which, though un-
usual, are perfectly compatible with safety and the general
benefit of the company. This, indeed, is one of the grand
features; by
.judicious calculations, by an extension of the
usual plans, it holds out not only the hope, but the moral,
and it might almost be said, mathematical certainty of a
liberal return to the shareholder, with advantages to the
assured, which he has a right to expect, but which are not to
be obtained in any similar establishment.

Upon the Paid-up Capital.—A dividend of 5 per cent. per
annum wilt be made half-yearly. The proprietors' profits
will be ascertained at the expiration of five years after the
establishment of the company, and will be divided rateably
among the shareholders, and added by way of increase to the
paid-up capital, and bear interest at 5 per cent. from the date
of such apportionment. A similar division will then be re-
peated in every successive three years.
The extent of liability on each share is restricted to £2O,
to which it s limited by the deed of association, and the
contract of assurance.
A call of £2 per share will be made on the 10th of October
next; and a further call of £2 per share on the 10th of Janu-
ary following, beyond which no further call is contemplated.
In London.—Applications for shares must be made at the
London and Westminster Bank, or at any of its Branch
Establishments; a deposit of £1 per share is then to be paid,
and the banker's receipt taken in exchange. Of the allot-
ment of shares due notice will be given, and in those cases in
which shares shall not be allotted, the deposits will be im-
mediately returned.

The Westminister Branch 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-Mall.
The Bloomsbury do. 213, High Holborn.
The Southwark do. 11, Wellington-street, Borough.
