LIFE ASSURANCE. 
DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
IV HOUSE of COMMONS, amt the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and important teature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIKE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com- 
mittee : — 
"The objects which persons have In view in effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, nvo generally of an ■ important and solemn character, viz., 
the provision for widows and orphans after the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of un office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other offices 
at Increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere In paying premiums from year to year, with some 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
clining the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or sale of a policy.” 
On the deposit system a person is not “compelled" to pay, from 
“year to year," and lie does not, if desirous of “abandoning" hi' 
policy, incur any “serious loss," but, on the contrary, he may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, os ho may find money convenient; 
lie can stop paying whenever ho pleases, and lie cun withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole bo withdrawn the policy 
is cancelled; if part only, then the value of the policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. U., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment ot 5/ , which it 
will be seen he Increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes 
Fur example. — The following abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operation of the scheme : —

From English Gardens won.” 
DELICIOUS PERFUME, distilled with the preatest 
P care from the choicest Lavender Flowers, grown by the Pro- 
prietor. Tlie very peculiar freshness and exquisite fragrance of this 
Extract, render it a general favourite wherever it is introduced. 
“ We feel particular pleasure in recommending to our fair readers 
tho exceedingly agreeable extract ot Lavender Flowers, which is pre- 
pared by S. Perks, of llitchin. and may bo obtained at Howell, James, 
and Co.'s in Regent-street. More than ordinary care has evidently 
been taken In the preparation of this perfume to produce such 
peculiar fragrance. The manufacturer states tli t it is made front 
tie' choicest Lavender Flowers, grown by himself; and as in the. 
distillation of line perfume from flowers everything depends upon 
'heir freshness, anil their having their bloom upon them, this, with the 
great care bestowed, will account for the marked superioritv of Berks's 
Lavender Water over any London extrniet which wo have hitherto 
been accustomed to.’’— Court Journal, . Inn. 15th, 1853.

Thus A. B., in ten years, has saved and Invested at different inter- 
vals various sums amounting to 97/., by which lie had been insured in 
case of dentil for 200/. 12*. 7d.; but A. R. requires 22/., ho draws tiff- 
sunt out, and diminishes tho value of his policy by 00/. 8s. 3d. al 
different times, leaving him in case of deatli a policy for 200/. 4s 4'/,. 
and during his life a fund of 75/. to draw out at any time, in part or

The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance 
Company was upon a deposit of 10/., which a patent mado for each ot 
five children, instead of adding it to an account they had at the Saving’s
