IMPERIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

1, OLD BROAD STREET, LONDON.

Instituted 1820.

WILLIAM R. ROBINSON, ESQ., Chairman.

HENRY DAVIDSON, ESQ., Deputy-Chairman.

The SCALE OF PREMIUMS adopted by this Office will be found of a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate to the risk incurred.

FOUR-FIFTHS, or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Policies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum insured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums.

ONE-THIRD of the Premium on Insurances of £500 and upwards, for the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of £50 and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate value. SECURITY.-Those who effect Insurances with this Company are protected by its Subscribed Capital of £750,000, of which £140,000 is invested, from the risk incurred by members of Mutual Societies.

The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the following Statement:

At the close of the last financial year, the sums Assured,

including Bonus added, amounted to

The Premium Fund to more than

And the Annual Income from the same source, to

£2,500,000

800,000
109,000

TO THE READERS OF THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. HE Christian sympathy of those whose hearts are inclined, and to whom a kind providence has given means to assist the tried and distressed disciples of the Lord, is most earnestly solicited to the following case. A dissenter, whose sentiments are in accordance with this Review, and who has for nearly half a century endeavoured conscientiously to maintain his principles, has been deprived of his support by being placed in competition with those of opposite views, and the unequal struggle has proved his privation. This appeal is not made with any intention to exhibit a case of martyrdom to any cause, but age and adherence to dissent is the barrier to his future hopes. The case at length, with a list of a few kind friends who have kindly contributed, and respectable references may be seen at the publishers of this Review, who have consented to receive any donations to meliorate the circumstances of the applicant, by whom it will be thankfully accepted and gratefully acknowledged.

JUBILEE OF THE REV. J. A. JAMES.

26

The Committee are glad to announce the amalgamation with themselves of the previously existing committee for the erection of a Congregational Chapel at Edgbaston; and that by means of the land and additional subscriptions thus placed at their disposal they hope to secure the foundation of one chapel in immediate connexion with the Jubilee services in September next, and of another, at a later date, in some other part of the town.

The importance of Edgbaston among the suburbs of Birmingham, and its great need of a congregational place of worship are very extensively known-while the fact that it has long been the home of Mr. Jaines gives it a peculiar fitness as the site of a Jubilee structure.

The Committee consider that by seeking the immediate erection of the Edgbaston Chapel, and the subsequent completion of another, they are much enlarging their original design, and look with confidence to the Christian public to enable them to carry their extended Testimonial into effect.

The united subscription list (exclusive of the grant to the Edgbaston Committee of £500 from the English Congregational Chapel Building Society) presents a total of nearly Two Thousand Pounds (£2000), contributed in sums varying from one hundred pounds to ten shillings each.

Messrs. H. MANTON and C. L. BROWNING are Chairman and Vice-Chairman of Committee; HENRY WRIGHT, Esq., of Saltley, Treasurer; and the Rev. C. GREENWAY, of Aston New Town, Secretary.

PROPOSAL FOR PUBLISHING A TRANSLATION OF BENGEL'S

GNOMON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

IN IN ACCORDANCE with a very generally expressed desire, Messrs. CLARK have ISSUED PROPOSALS for PUBLISHING a TRANSLATION of BENGEL'S GNOMON, in Five Volumes, demy 8vo., supplied (to Subscribers only) at a price not exceeding 28s. It is not necessary to speak of the merits of a work which is, in the original, so well known, and so highly appreciated; but more detailed particulars may be had in a Prospectus, which will be forwarded free on application. As 3000 Subscribers will be required adequately to remunerate at the above price. It must be distinctly understood that the Translation will not be commenced till at least 1500 names are received, and therefore it is earnestly requested that all who would wish to see 'Bengel' in a thoroughly well-executed English version, will forward their names as early as possible to the Publishers.
