The leading feature of the Scottish Equitable is, that The
WHOLE PROFITS .are allocated every THREE YEAItS
amongst Policy-holdersof more than five years' endurance, is
terms of the Laws of the Society. These allocations are not,
as in most other Oflices, made on the origins' sums assured,
but on the sums assured and also on ALL PREVIOVS ADDI-
TIONS, so that the Bonus of .4'2 per cent. declared at Ist
March last, was equal to oboist 148. per cent. per annum
on the sums originally assured by the earlier Policies.
The following additions, amount.ng to £441,665, have been
made to Policies at the Triennial Allocations :
In 1841
1844 83,210
1841
1850.

£440,665

The effect of these additions is, that aPolicy for .elOOO,
dated Ist March, 183?. becoming a claim before Ist March,
1851, would receive no less a sum than £1457 16s.—being
nearly Foierv-stx per cent, on the sum originally assured—
and other Policies in the same proportion, according to their
dates.

The ANNUAL RENENrE is above £l2o,ol9—and the
ACCUMULATED FUND exceeds .4572,C00.

PUBLIC TEST OF TANN'S PATENT FIRE-
PROOF SAFES,
BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES OF GLASGOW,
G. HARRISON and Co., SOLE PROPRIETORS
*I • for the Manufacturing Districts of TANN'S PATENT
FIRE-PROOF SAFES, &c., take this mode of informing: the
Public of the particulars e test to which one of their 24-inch
Patent Safes was subjected to in Glasgow, on Thursday,
October 17,1850. A fire was made in en enclosure on Blyths-
wood Holm, the magnitncle of which may be conceived, when

it is known'that 48 cwt. of coal and a cart load_ of w

employed for the purpose. The following other
papers and books, were locked up in th e prior to its being
placed in the fire_:—Parcbment, de , bank notes, a watch,
. .

&c. This done, the Safe was ti ed in the fire, where it re-
mained for the period of thr lours and a-half (a space of
time longer than any Safe o similar dimensions has ever been
subjected to). So intens wns the beat, that the brass knob,

iiCj„Onlitecloor were f nd to be melted away when the Safe
was taken out, yet n otening the Safe, the contents were
found in a perfect ate of preservation. The bank notes were
safe, the watcl vas going and indicated the exact time ; and
the very wax seals on the parchment documents were neither
/20,0/3 11 111. Si.,. 'l.lpm...onto

. ,
themselves indicative of having been anywhere else than in a
place of perfect safety. These facts are certified by the signa-
tures of upwards of jiffy of the scientific, commercial, and
practical men of Glasgow.

'!'ANN'S SAFES
being made Of STRONG WROUGHT IRON
sistance to falling timbers, brickwork, &c., i
they are also fitted with the Patent Reliance Lc

fford effectual r

case of fire;
tick, invented

tee cannot be opened by the most. adroit hand or by a

.... . ,
mechanical appliance whatsoever,) thereby rendering them
perfectly secure against the attacks of the most determined
burglar. Safes made of thin sheet iron cannot be Fire-proof,
and are next to useless.
