Tas Almanac for 1852, which the Compiler now presentg >r the use and information of his fellow Colonists, v/ill be >und in every way superior to its predecessor of 1851. The encouragement which he received last year from the Legis- ture, by the revival of the annual grant to sustain the regu- publication of the Newfoundland Almanac, has caused ^im to be more circumspect respecting the appearance of the rork, the character and quantity of its contents, and the bheapness of its issue. He has incurred considerable expense fco supply a local Annual of useful information, in a style sreditable to the Colony ; and he has devoted much time, id griven his closest attention to the collection of such Statistical, astronomical, and other information as would give character of respectability to the work. He relies upon the legislature for its continued aid, on the ground of the in- creased expense to which he has subjected him&«.'ii, and the rery reduced price of One Shilling, at which he now issues le work ; and he hopes that the public may evince their ap- >reciation oi his labour by the general and rapid sale which le publication shall experience. The Compiler gratefully acknowledges the assistance rhich he has received from W. C. St. John, Esq., of the [arbour Grace Herald, who has supplied him with the ^astronomical calculations ; and he has further to testify to the kind, courteous, and cordial attention extended to him by [all the Heads of Departments when giving him such iufor- (mation as he felt it necessary to require from them.

THE COLOmAL LIFE ASSURAXCE COIRPANY Has been established f)r the purpose of extending to the Co- lonies of Great Britain, and to India, the full benefit of Life Assurance; and for the purpose of giving increased facilities to persons visiting or residing in Foreign Countries. The Company is registered and empowered under the Act of Par- liament 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110. The general management of the Company is under the di- rection of persons who have been long practically acquainted with, and connected with the working of Life Assurance In- stitutions ; and it has been the study of the Dii-ectors to a& ford all those advantages to their Policy-holders abroad which are commanded by insurers in this country. For the purpose of giving increased racilities also in the Company's transactions, the Directors have formed Local Boards of Management, and Branch Office^ where Assu- rances may be eflected and Premiums paid, in the different places to which they have extended thdr business. THE CAPITAL of the Company is ^6500,000. All the Directors in Great Britain are Shareholders of the Company* and those appointed in the Colonies are bound to take a si- milar interest in the Institution. THE RATES which the Company have adopted, havo been formed on the most correct observations which exist as to the value of life in those countries to whicb the Company have extended their business. THE PROFITS of the Company will be ascertained and divided at certain intervals : the First Investigation and Divi- sion being to be in 1854, when each Policy having a right to participate in the Profits, will share in the Fund to be allocat- ed for Division among the Assured, according to the Profits which the Conipaiiy may calculate to have arisen on the par- ticular class ofKisks to which such Policy may belong.
