NOETHEEN ASSUEANCE COMPANY. FIRE AND LIFE. ESTABLISHED 1836. CAPITAL, £2,000,000. RESBRVE FUND, £800,000. FIRE DEPARTMENT. INSURANCES against fire are effected on nearly every description of property at current rates of premium, and looses promptly settled. LIFE DEPARTMENT. The rates charged in Australia are the same ai those in England, being calculated on the latest data of mortality there, and will be found peculiarly favourable to Assurers. The Life Business is divided into two distinct; Branches : — 1. THE NON-PARTICIPATION BRANCH, the Assured in which receive no additions to their Policies, the premiums being calculated on the lowest scale consistent with safety; and 2. THE PARTICIPATION BRANCH, in which the whole profits, less a fixed per-centage of the i premiums, for management and guarantee of the sums assured, belong to the Policy-holders ; and, in reckoning these profits, the Company is, under its new Act of Parliament (1865), precluded from deducting anything beyond what is actually paid away aa commission to agents. The necessity felfc by all purely Mutual Societies of setting aside a portion of their profits to form a guarantee fund is in this, way avoided, and at the same time that economy which is the boast of the mutual system is insured. Policies can be surrendered after they have been three years in duration, either (1) for their equitable ,cash value; or (2) a policy will be issued free of future premiums for a sum equivalent to such value ; or (3) a portipn of the policy can be surrendered, and the Assurance continued for the reduced amount, allowance being made for the premiums lready paid. Policy-holders, in event of removal, c»n pay their .renewal premiums at any of the Company's ofiices or Agencies at home or abroad. Loans.— Loans are granted on deposit of the Company's Policies to the extent of their acquired value, free of legal expense to the borrower, the rate of' interest charged being six per cent, per annum. The last Bonus declared by the company (in 1865) .vf a« at the rate of £1 7s. 6d. per cent, per annum on the amount insured— a return which has been very rarely exceeded by any office, when the moderate rates of this Company are taken into account. Forms of proposals nnd every information can be obtained at the office of th« undersigned. THOMAS MACKY, Queen-street, AefitA for the Province of Auckland.
