SCOTTISH (Winows' FUND) LIFE ASSURANCE,
FOUNDED A.D. 1815,
UPON THE PRINCIPLE OF MUTUAL CONTRIBUTION.

CONSTITUTED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
THE WHOLE SURPLUS FUNDS which remain after
making provision for the claims of the Society, BE-
LONG TO THE ASSURED.
At 31st December, 1838, it was ascertained on investiga-
tion, that the Surplus Fund amounted to very nearly
£280,000,
And it was sufficient to enable the Directors, after setting
aside upwards of £90,000, AS A GUARANTEE FUND,
to declare and provide for the following additions :
1. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per annum,
for the period from 31st December, 1831, or 11 per
Cent. on the accumulated amount of the original
Sum assured, and the previously declared addi-
tions; or about 19 per Cent. on the Capital Sum
assured by the early Policy holders.
And in order to provide for the case of those
parties who may die before 31st December,
1845, when the next investigation and decla-
ration of Surplus is made, there was provided
further,
2. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per annum,
on the accumulated amount of the original Assur-
ance, and previously declared additions, for each
Premium that may be paid after 31st December,
1838, provided the party die before 31st December,
1845, having been insured at least five years, this
addition, supposing the case of a party insured in
the early years of the Society's existence, to die
after payment of the premium for the year 1845
would be for the seven years from 31st December,
1838, to 31st December, 1845, upwards of 21 per
Cent. on the original Assurance.
Thus if a party aged 20 had assured for £lOOO in the year
1818, and were to die after payment of the premium for
1845, being then aged 47, his representatives would get
no less than £lBO9 Bs. id.
If be had assured in 1825, when 27, and died at 47, they
would be then entitled to £1436 Is. 2d.
If he had assured in 1830, when 32, and died at 47, they
would be entitled to £1338 lls. 9d.-
The proportion of the Surplus Fund allocated to each Po •
Bey, may be applied towards REDUCTION OF THE FU-
TURE PREMIUMS, and if desired,

The party mayeuoaaow UPON THE SECURITY OF HIS
POLICY, to the extent of nine-tenths of the value (not
the amount.)

Conservative interests of this Ward, the Gentlemen com-
posing that Committee have done me the honour to invite
me to supply the Vacancy about to be occasioned in the

shall not disappoint their expectations of my fitness for

I availed myself of the opportunity recently afforded

will only state, that while I shall endeavour to make my-
self acquainted with whatever will contribute to the bene-

its religious, moral, and sanatory improvement, I shall

tinuance of heavy weather that she did not reach Halifax
till the night of the 3rd. On the morning of the 4th, one
day later than usual, she cast off from Cunard's wharf,
and started for Liverpool. Again she was baffled by
heavy seas and a succession of strong head winds,
. which
so retarded her that the run across the Atlantic has occu-
pied thirteen days. She was telegraphed off the Great
Ormshead on Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, and in
ordinary circumstances ought to have been up by six.
She, however, fell in with the smack Charlotte, bound
frem this port to Newry. The wind was blowing a full
gale, and the smack- being in a sinking state, having lost
all her sails, the captain of the Caledonia hove too, and
took off the crew, consisting of two men and a boy. This
caused a detention of upwards of an hour, and she did not
enter the Mersey till past seven o'clock. The Caledonia
has brought over 44 passengers.
The Acadia arrived at Halifax on the Ist instant.
Money was still abundant. The demand for specie had
nearly ceased, as the rates of exchange would not admit
of shipments being made at a profit. American gold was
at a par a quarter premium, sovereigns 4 dollars 83 to 4
dollars 85, and Spanish dollars 6 per cent. premium.
Sterling Exchange had been in active demand, and the
/market closed firm. Continental bills were not quite so
active. The following are the quotations ;
London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris. 5.25 to 5.230 ; Amster-
dam, 391 to 40; Hamburg, 35 to 351 ; Bremen, 781 to

784.
We extract the following, on the state of the cotton
trade and the incoming crop, from the New York Herald.

Prices continue steady, and sales are to a fair amount.
Transactions at full prices.
There was but little doir, in the New Orleans market
on the 19th instant; prices were too high to meet the
views of buyers. The stock on hand was light. There
bad been 1800 bales of new received ; sales since then
amount to about 500 bales. The old was out of market ;
a crop of 1200 bales, which has been held for some time,
was shipping for Liverpool.
Extract of a letter from Mobile, by which it appears
the chance for a large crop in that section is still consi-
dered favouroble. It is dated 19th Sept. 1843:—
"About 600 bales of the new crop have arrived, and the
greater part is now on the market. The difficulty of ne-
gotiation, and the want of vessels, have prevented any ac-
tivity in our market. Fair cotton is sold readily at eight
cents, specie; other qualities in proportion."
The prospects of the country were daily improving.
On the 15th ult. the coast of West Florida was swept
by a hurricane, which overturned dwellings, uprooted
trees. and caused a frightful destruction of human life.
The yellow fever was still prevalent at New Orleans and
Mobile on the 20th ult., but the cases were not numer-
ous.
The papers contain but little intelligence from Canada.
Mr. Chabot had been elected representative for Quebec,
in the assembly. Great devastation has been caused by
fires in the woods of Canada.
The county of Beauharnois, throughout its whole ex-
tent, had been for days the scene of most destructive con-
flagrations, which, owing to the long-continued drought
of the season, had swept off not the underbrush only, but
also the heavier timber, leaving nothing but ashes where
they had stood. Other districts of the province had also
suffered to a great extent. In many instances the fire had
traversed the upper soil of the cleared land, consuming
the new stacked hay and grain and the standing oats, and
destroying even the potatoe arid turnip crops. Some
barns and dwelling- houses, too, were consumed.
