NOETHEHN ASSURANCE COMPANY. FIRE AND LIFE, C ESTAi LISH ED 1836.? r CAPITAL, £2,000,000. RESERVE FUND, £800,000. FIRE DEPARTMENT. INSURANCES against fire are^ffected on nearly every description of property at current rates of premium, and losses promptly settled. LIFE DEPARTMENT. The rates charged in Australia are the same as 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 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 Aot of Parliament (1865), precluded from deducting anything beyond what is actually paid away as commission to agents. The necessity felt 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 yearB in duration, either (1) for their equitable cash value j or (2) a policy will be issued free of future premiums for a sum equivalent to such value ; or (3) a portion of the policy can be surrendered, and the Assurance continued for the reduced amount, allowance being made for the premiums Iready paid. Policy-holders, in event of removal, can pay their renewal premiums at any of the Company's offices 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) was at the rate of £1 7s. t3d. 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.

TO FARMERS, AND OTHER COUNTRY SETTLERS.

WITH a view of supplying the felt want of there being no place in Town entirely devoted to the sale of FARM, GARDEN, and DAIRY PRODUCE, including Bacon, Poultry, Fruits, &c, the undersigned has determined to OPEN his large and commodious CORN and COLONIAL PRODUCE STORE, Victoria-street East (a three-storied brick building, a little way above the Greyhound Hotel), for this purpose, and hopes to receive the support of those whose interests he is thus endeavouring to promote. Tne PRODUCE entrusted to his care will be SOLD by AUCTION, once or twice a week ; and, as nothing else will be sold at these auctions but Country Produce, he anticipates that better pricea will be realised. At present, the above Goods are so scattered and mixed up with other commodities that, he thinks, their value is thereby much lessened. All transactions will bs settled immediately after the sale. Days of Bales will be intimated in future advertisements. Cash purchase of country produce. A. CUNNINGHAM, Farm and Colonial Produce Stores, Victoria-street East.
