HE " Asylum Company," says the Hiitorical Sketch of
T the various Life Offices, " grantOsurances on Select
Lives on Lower Terms, and under a g*ter variety of modes
than any other Office." The following are some of the
leading features and facilities of this Institution :
AN ASCENDING SCALE OF PREMIUM, commenc-
ing with a small rate for the first year, an increased rate from
the eighth to the fifteenth year' and a fixed rate afterwards.
A DESCENDING SCALE, by increased payments at the
commencement, and gradually diminishing the rate until
there is nothing further to pay.
LOAN ON THE POLICY.—This Office allows the
Assurer to retain one-third of the Premium from the very
commencement, charging him interest at the rate of four per
cent. only. He is never called upon for the arrears, but may
pay them up whenever he pleases.
FOREIGN ASSURANCES.—Assurances are granted to
any part of the world ; and it is a peculiar feature of this
Office that the Assured has the right to proceed to, or reside
in, any foreign country, on payment of an extra rate.
Persons of advanced age, peculiar form, or infirm health,
&c. 4 and who would be rejected by other Offices,,are assured
at moderate rates. •
The following are extracted from the Tables as specimens
of the Rates for an Assurance of £lOO.

IMPROVED BRANDY FROM LONDON, AT 18s

TO OUR BIRMINGHAM, MANCHESTER, AND LIVERPOOL

FRIENDS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WHATEVER opinion may have been formed of the
Brandies hitherto presented by other Houses, under
various denominations, to your notice, such opinion can
have no reference in fact to BRETT!S IMPROVED
COGNAC, inasmuch as this very salutary Spirit, from a just
apprehension of its lessening the demand for the more costly
productions of France, has never been avowedly introduced
by the trade.
As Proprietors of an article pos ng strong claims to
public favour, we are desirous o that every commodity
should be appreciated according to its intrinsic merits, and
therefore undertake to forward, by Pickford and Co., to
Manchester, Liverpool, or Birmingham, paying carriage
here, a Single Gallon or any larger quantity of our genuine
IMPROVED BRANDY, at 18s. per Imperial Gallon, if
previously settled for in London, including Is. per Gallon
for packages.
Earnestly solicitous of such portion of your esteemed pa-
tronage and recommendation as you shall find us to deserve,
we remain, with due respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen, your obliged, obedient servants,
HENRY BRETT and CO.
Old Furnival's-inn, Holborn, Ist Feb., 1840.

BULLOCK'S CAMPHOR TOOTH PASTE.

and strengthening the gums, and preventing the-toothache.
The teeth, however foul and discoloured by neglect, will, on
01
using the paste a short time, acquir swheautiful whiteness.
It removes scurvy, and sweetens t treath.—Prepared only

street, Manchester. To be had s retail of Mr. PRIESTLEY,
