This Association is formed for the purpose of affording; to the 

 Arncul'ural Interest, by means of its collective capital, the funds 

 necessary for the THOROUGH DRAINING OF LANDj and of 

 executing and superintending the execution of the works required 

 for this purpose on the most economical and effective principles 

 —repayment of the money advanced to be made, with interest, 

 by such equitable half-yearly instalments as in the several cases 

 may be determined. 



Among the various objects to which of late years collective 

 capital has been more or less successfully applied, it is not a little 

 surprising that the one which, of all others, offers the most cer- 

 tain and profitable return, with the soundest security, should 

 hare hitherto been almost disregarded. The time, however, has 

 arrived, when an urgent desire for Agricultural improvement on 

 the one hand, and a dearth of safe and profitable investment for 

 superabundant capital on the other, renders such an Association 

 hlgrhly desirable to both the landed and monied interest, whilst 

 to the community generally an almost incalculable advantage 

 will be secured by a proportionate increase of labour and food. 



At a meeting of the council of the Yorkshire Agricultural 

 Society, held in York, on the 20th of December, 1843, a resolution 

 was passed, approving generally of the objects of this Association, 

 and at the monthly meeting of the Wakefield Farmers* Club held 

 on the 5th January, 1844, a resolution approving of the principle 

 and objects of the Association, was unanimously adopted. 



At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, 

 ftt Liverpool, in July, 1841, Lord Stanley remarked— that "there 

 was no bank in the whole country— no commercial speculation- 

 no investment so safe, so sure and profitable, as that in which 

 even borowed capital may be engaged, by investing it under the 

 ground of > ur own soil." And in reference to this Association, 

 ms Lordship, in a letter to the Committee says :— " I am fully 

 •atUfied of the benefits which such an Association is capable of 

 fhi 1 u rr H r,gor V thc ^ n,lntry ' if confi ned to its legitimate object- 

 ing .nH n f»? ? I ?l tal ° n the L sec " ri ty of an investment in drain-

on wh&w y °" l and ' re P & y able b y instalments-a condition 

 on which few private patties are willing to lend. 



Bearing in mind the important objects of the Association and 



the perfect security with which its operations can be " onduc?ed 



^SSB^SSSSSXV^ (n ° lar * e expenditure for pr":

Advantages of the Argus Life Assurance Company. 



Low Rites of Premiums. 

 In addition to the subscribed capital of 300,000/., t*e Assured 

 have the security of the Company's Income of nearly 6*0,000/. per 

 annum, yearly increasing, and accumulating Assurance Fund 

 invested in Government and other available Securities, of con- 

 siderably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Com- 

 pany. The Rates of Premium are reduced to the lowest scale com- 

 patible with the safety of the Assured and the stability of the 

 Company, thereby in effect giving to every Policy-holder an im- 

 mediate and certain bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred 

 and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of profits.

One-third of the whole-term Premiums may remain unpaid at 

 5 per cent. comp. int. as a debt upon the policy for life, or may be 

 paid off at any time without notice. 



In Assurances for advances of money as security for debts, or 

 as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desir- 

 able, the varied and comprehensive Tables of the Argus Office 

 will be found to be particularly favourable to the Assured.

The important debate on Lord Ashley's motion for 

 reducing the work of females in factories from* 12 .to 10 

 hours a day, terminated on Monday in the defeat of Mi- 

 nisters by a majority of 9. The Government Bill specified 

 12 hours as the limit for female work, and Lord Ashley 

 brought forward his motion as an amendment, contending 

 that on moral and physical grounds Parliament was bound 

 to interpose, and rescue the female operatives in our fac- 

 tories from the unnatural sphere into which the overbear-
