LIFE ASSURANCE. 
DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
It HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and important feature o^Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following Is an extract from the Report of tho Select Com- 
mittee 
“ The objects which persons have In view in effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, are generally of an important and solemn character, vis., 
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 donbts of the 
stability of an 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 tho fissured; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere in paying premiums from year to year, with sorno 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or salo of a poUey." 
On the deposit system a person is not “compelled’’ to pay, from 
“year to year," aud he docs not. If desirous of “abandoning" his 
policy, incur any “serious loss,” but, on the contrary, ho may pay 
sucli amount*, and at snclt times, as ho may find money convenient; 
he can stop paying whenever ho pleases and he can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole bo withdrawn the policy 
Is cancelled ; If part only, then tho value of the policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which it 
will be seen he Increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. 
For example.— The following abstract of a Ledger Account wUl 
show the operation of the scheme : —

PURE EXTRACT OF ENGLISH LAVENDER FLOWERS. 
“ In each bright drop there is a spell, 
'Tis from the soil we love so weU, 
From English Gardens won.’’ 
DELICIOUS PERFUME, distilled with the greatest 
-1/ care from the choicest Lavender Flowers, grown by the Pro- 
prietor. The very peculiar freshness and exquisite fragrance of this 
Extract, render it a general favourito wherever it is introduced. 
“We feel particular pleasure in recommending to our fair readers 
tbe exceedingly agreeable extract of Lavender Flowers, which is pre- 
pared by S. Perks, of Hitchin, and may be 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 that it is made from 
the choicest Lavender Flowers, grown by himself, and as in the 
distillation of fine perfume from flowers everything depends upon 
their freshness, and their having their bloom upon them, this, with the 
greut care bestowed, will account for the marked superiority of Porks’s 
Lavender Water over any London extrract which we have hitherto 
been accustomed to ."—Court Journal, Jan. 15th, 1853.

sum out. and diminishes tho value of his policy by GO/. 8j. 3d. nt 
different times, leaving him in case of death a policy for 200/. 4.t. 4 d., 
and during his life a fund oi 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 parent mado for each of 
five children, Instead of adding it to an account they had ut the Saving's 
Bank. One of them died n few days after the 10/. was deposited, and 
the father received 34/, 6/., being the amount of tho deposit policy,
