LIFE ASSURANCE, 1815,
EDINBURGH, 5, ST. ANDREW-SQUARE.

THE SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND and LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY, founded on the Original Model of
the EQUITABLE of London, is the oldest and most extensive
Life Office in Scotland. Its accumulated Capital and Annual
Revenue are of very large amount, and are in a state of steady
and rapid increase. The whole Profits belong to the Assured,
while there is a complete freedom from persdnal liability. A
policy opened previous to 1820 for £lOOO (and s' on in propp,
non) Is already increased to £1434 Is. 4d., . .d a progressive
rate of addition is yearly accruing. The ret .spective and pros-
pective additions declared at the last, . the second, periodi-
cal investigation of the Society's affai • out of the proportion
of the realised Surplus Fund then divi. I.le, were equivalent to
a vested addition, at the rate of TWO PER CENT. PER
ANNUM on the sums Assured, and are accordingly taken at
this rate in all official calculations of the value of Policies en-
titled thereto. Thus a Policy for £3OOO, of TEN years' stand-
ing, was entitled to a Bonus equal in value to a vested addition.
of £6OO, or TWENTY PER CENT. on the capital sum As-
slued, and so in proportion to the amount and endurance of the
Policy. These additions are of larger amount than those de-
clared, under the same circumstances, by any other institution;
and it is farther proper to state that, over and above that part
of the realised Surplus Fund appropriated in making additions,
there still remains a large proportion as a Guarantee Fund
wholly unappropriated, in which parties now effecting Assu-
rances acquire a pro indiviso and rateable interest, in terms of
the articles of constitution and laws of the Society. The prin-
ciple acted upon, as far al possible, of assuring select lives only,
should operate as a strong inducement to parties whose lives
may be considered as of this description to effect their Assu-
rances at this office, where they will receive the full benefit of
such selection. Tables of the Mortality experience of this So-
ciety have just been completed, and the low average of actual
mortality therein exhibited, owing to this careful selection of
lives, as compared with the estimated or assumed rate of morta-
lity provided for by the calculations, is such as, taken in con-
nexion with the profitable investment of the Society's Funds,
to warrant the expectation of very favourable results at the
next periodical investigation. The additions then declared will
become absolutely vested at that date on assurances now effected.
The Presidents, Vice-Presidents' Trustees, and Directors, are
all personally interested in the Society, and must, in terms of
the articles of constitution, be Members of the Society of more
than three years' standing.

SHAKSPEAREAN COOK.—A boarding-house keeper at one of
the v atering places announces, as the main recommendation of
his dinners, that they are prepared "by a cook engaged from
,the principal hotel in the town, which is known as the birth-
,,place of the immortal Shakspeare."
CELEBRATION OF TUE MARRIAGE OF Miss PENNANT TO
THE HON. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.—On Tuesday last the city of
Bangor, and other places in the neighbourhood of Penrhyn
-Castle, were the scenes of festivity and rejoicing, on the occa-
-sion of the marriage of the Hon. Captain Gordon Douglas,
:‘broth.er to Lord Morton, to Miss Pennant, the eldest daughter
of G. H. Dawkins Pennant, Esq. Early in the day the good
citizens commenced the business of ornamenting the fronts of
their hour-es. The adjacent plantations were made to contribute
their "leafy honours;" flags, ribbons, and rosettes were taste-
fully intermingled; and there was scarcely a &Yelling in the
• place before which these ensigns of rejoicing were not dis-
played. The harbour presented a forest of masts profusely de-
corated with colours, and a salute battery, planted on fhe quay,
resounded " hoarse applause" at intervals during the day. At
half-past ten o'clock in the morning, the children of the National
and Infant Sehuols walked in procession, preceded by colours
and a band of music, to the market house, where they were re-
galed with cake and ale. At one o'clock, the persons employed
at Pert Penrhyn, to the number of 150, dined at the wharf,
from tables formed of the sort of slates denominated "queens,"
the value of which, it was remarked, exceeded perhaps that of
the most costly set of dining tables ever manufactured, amount-
ing to no less than £425. In the evening the town was bril-
liantly illuminated. There was not a house that we could see
in Bangor the windows of which were not profusely lighted up,
and the effect was splendid in the extreme. Transparencies with
;inscriptions and tasteful displays of coloured lamps, heightened
the brilliancy of the scene. There was an immense bonfire on
Garth ;Kill, and another on the height above Bangor, which
were seen -to advantage from the streets, and for miles round
-the country, and at sea. The night was fine, and, attracted by
the splennour of the spectacle, almost every house poured out
its inmates into the streets, which were crowded by men, women,
and children, their fves beaming with happiness and hilarity.
The utmost order and decorum were observed, not a single acci-
dent that we have heard of having occurred. A dinner was
given to the workmen, about 2000 in number, at the quarries;
there were also dinners provided at the Penrhyn Arms and
Albion-rooms, to celebrate the event; at the former Sir R. W.
Bulkelev, and at the latter W. Lewis, Esq. presided. The chil-
dren (1' public school at Pont-y-twr, were regaled in their
room with roast beef and pudding. Bonfires and illumisiations
closed the festivities of the day.—Carnarrcm Herald.
