The experience of nearly three- quarters of a century has inaniibstecl to the public the promptitude and liberality with which all losses have been adjusted bv the Phasnix Assurance Company t to the extent of upwards of Six Millitma Sterling. Persons insured by this Company do not depend upon re- stricted funds for the payment of their claims, nor are they liable to make good the losses of others, as is the case in many Offices. The security afforded to the Public by the Phoenix Office is unlimited, comprising, in addition to the large invested ca- pital of the Company, the whole fortunes of a numerous Pro- prietary, comprised of some of the most opulent gentlemen and merchants in the Kingdom.

THE COLONIAL LIF£~A$SURANCE COMPANY Has been established for the purpose of exten<]ing to theCo<< oniea uf Groat Britain, ami to India, the full benefit of Life Assurance; and for the purpose of giving increased facilities to persons visiting or residing in F4>reii»n Countrie.4. Thof 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 Directors to af- ford all those advantages to their Policy-holders abroad which are commanded by assurers in this country. For the purpose of giving increased facilities also in the Company's transactions, the Directors have formed Local Boards of Management, atul Branch Offices, vvhere Assu- rances may be effected and Premiums paid, in the different places to which they have extended their business. THE CAPITAL of the Company is c£500,000. All the Directors in Great Britain are Shareholders of the Comimny, and those appointed in the Colonies are bound to take a si- milar interest in the Institution. THE RATES which the Company have adopted, have been formed on the most correct observations which exist aa to the value of life in those countries to which the Company have extended their (business. THE PROFITS of the Company will be ascertained and divided at certain intervals: the First Investigation and Divi* fiion being to be in 1854, when each Policy having a right to participate in the Profits, will share in tlie Fund to be allocat- ed f(U- Division among the Assured, according to the Profita which the Company may calculate to have arisen on the par- ticular class of Risks to wiiich such Policy may belong. Every information can be obtained at the OfHces of the Company. . ' By order of the Directors, WILLIAM THOS. THOMSON, -<4c/ikiry, HENRY J. WILLIAMS, Secretary.
