f The new 
and important feature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE 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, are 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 bo discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and tho necessity of effecting new policies in other offices 
at Increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of tho 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- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or salo of a policy.” 
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 
such amounts, and at such times, as ho may find money convenient; 
he can stop paying whenever he pleases, and ho can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole bo withdrawn tho policy 
Is cuncelled; if part only, then the 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the assured value of the part withdrawn.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 5/., which It 
will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. 
For example.— The following abstract of a Ledger Account will

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. 
M R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, 
lias Introduced an entirely New Description of ARTIFICIAL 
TEETH, fixed w ithout springs, wires, or ligatures They bo perfectly 
resemble tho naturul teeth, as not to be distinguished from tho originals 
by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and 
will be found superior to any teoth ovor before used. This method does 
not require tho extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will 
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and Is guaranteed to restore 
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth tendered sound and use- 
ful In mastication. 62, FLEET-STREET.— At homo from 1 till 5. 
Thus A. B., in ten years, lias saved and Invested at different inter- 
vals various sums amounting to 97/., by which he had been insured In 
case of death for 260/. 12s. 7*1.; but A. B. requires 22/., he draws this 
sum out, and diminishes the value of his policy by 60/. 8s. 3d. nt 
different times, leaving bim in case of death a policy for 200/. Is. 4</., 
and during his life a fund of 75/. to draw out at any time, In part or 
wholly. 
The first claim settled by tho Deposit and General Life Assurance 
Company was upon a deposit of 10/., which a parent made for each of 
five children, instead of adding it to an account they had at the Saving's 
Bank. One of them died a few days after the 10/. was deposited, and 
the father received 31/. 6s., being the amount of the deposit policy. 
EXAMPLE No. 2.

has the means, and continues voluntarily, to pay the same sum every 
year in the same way as he Is compelled to do in the ordinary sys-
