The loss OF the steamship Atlantic

ilscu-sron in the New York papers.
An analysis OF the cause OF the terrible

Rl&HIS Society, which confines its bust
IL ness exclusively to assuring the live
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient to create large surpluses, out of
which Reyersionary Bonuses, averaging
2T0 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives OF persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
