WEST OF ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE

PANY.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
CAPITAL, £600,000.
President—The Right Honourable the Earl of DEVON.
FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED.
PERSONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and
upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas,
1837, and who had then been insured Two Years at least,
are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on
the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from
Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the
Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with whom
the Insurances are effected, or renewed.
FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on
Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de-
cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future
Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad-
vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders
the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In-
sured. _

This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from
the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the
Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is
not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies.
The Company does not pride itself on account of the large
amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape
of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather
refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured
are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to
them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of
Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the
Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, wil
prove :
