I-11111S Society is not a Trading Company, but is established
on the Principles of Mutual Guarantee.
It has been uniformly prosperous, whereby great advantages
have been secured to the Members.
From the liberal principles on which the Directors have al-
ways settled claims, it has not been necessary to require the
opinion of a Court of Law in more than three instances in the
course of nearly thirty years, during which about One Million
Five Hundred Thousand Pounds have been paid to the Repre-
sentatives of Members.

Agents are appointed in all the principal Towns in the United
Kingdom, of whom Prospectuses may be had gratis, as also at
the Office, Exchange-street West, Liverpool.

iHE Directors of this Society give notice that they are now
JI prepared to effect Insurances on Lives, in addition to the
business which they have hitherto carried on.
The plan which has been determined upon, and the Tables
of Premiums, may be obtained by application at the Office;
and the Directors believe that their Scale of Premiums will be
found to be as beneficial to the Public as that of any other Com-
pany, which is established on safe principles.
The present amount of Capital is amply sufficient to justify
the Directors iu entering upon this new engagement; which
they do in the confident expectation that the members, who will
be Mutual Insurers, will, ere long, receive a considerable bene-
fit, although, by the arrangements that have been made, no
member will be liable to contribute towards losses.
Insurers in this Office will have the option of receiving their
share of the profits, either in money payments, or by additions
to the sums insured, or by the premiums being reduced, as may
be preferred.
A Court of Directors is held every Tuesday at Twelve o'clock
precisely, at which the person whose life is proposed to be in-
sured by the Society is expected to appear ; but for the con-
venience of females, awl persons residing in the country, the
Directors have the power to dispense with such appearance.
The usual commission will be given to professional men and
others, who may be able to promote the interests of the Office.
The following brief extract from the tables, will give an idea
of the scale of annual premiums charged.

A ReFORNI TOWN CocNetuott.--Alr. Wells one of the re-
form council of the learned town of Cambridge, has sent a let-
ter to the editor of this paper, in which the following curious
specimen of scholarship occur • :—A Man and Two Women was
taken in hold And though they was examined before the Ma-
gistrates repeatedly Nothing was proved against them. It Is
too much to make A Publican answerable for the Cherecters he
receives in his House when tie is liable to be in Dieted By
Law If Ile refuSes to Receive them at all hours Night or Day." —Cambridge Chronicle.
"A COMICAL MISCREANT."—Tuesday evening, a genteelish
looking young Irishman called at the Black Bull Inn, Gorbals,
and politely asked for a comfortable apartment for the night.
lie was particularly anxious to have a fire in the room, and the
landlady, eager to make travellers comfortable, ordered the
chimney ornaments to be removed, and a fire kindled. Having
gut everything to his mind, the stranger retired to rest, and the
landlady locked the door of his apartment, a precaution which
she had been in the practice of making ever since she was
tricked by persons leaving her house in the morning without
consulting her regarding the bill The next morning the wai-
ter, on answering the traveller's bell, was told rather sharply to
go fetch his mistress. The landlady was soon ready to receive
orders for breakfast, or whatever pleased her customer; but that
Has not the business. "You are accountable for a misfortune
which has befallen me," said the traveller; "I have had my
trowsers stolen, £7 in the pocket." " Impossible replied the
hostess. "the door was locked." The young man was stunned
at hearing the door was locked, and it was not till after a con-
siderable pause that he could muster courage to repeat the
charge, and when he did so, the landlady became indignant and
sent for the police. After a vain search for the trowsers, it oc-
curred to the officer, on hearing about the young man's eager-
ness the night previous for a fire in the room, to examine the
fire place; and, on doing so, he found the buttons of Paddy's
trowsers, but the cloth was consumed. Paddy was pertrifie-d ;
amrhhe could not deny that he had attempted a trick. He was
ched to the police oce, with the officer's great coat round
•
ffi-.bar half clad. To the questions which
