Tho above Department affords the following ad vantages, which aro secured by special Acts of Legislature, over any other office in the colony:— 1. All policy holders participate in the profits of the Department. 2. The Premiums are lower by at least 7s (seven shillings) per cent, than thoso of any other office. Tho Security is infinitely superior to that of any private office, the consolidated revenue of the colony being available for any deficiency. 4. The whole of the money paid in Premiums is retained in tho colony, whereas in private offices so much capital is sent to foreign parts. 5. Policies for wife or family are absolutely pro te ted from creditors. G. No lolicy is forfeited by non-payment of Pre niums after first year, bo long as sur render value will insure the amount. For example, a person aged forty, insured under a Policy on which five annual payments had been made, would not forfeit it on account of non-payment of Premiums until the expiration of five years-end eighty-six days from date of default, provided that the other conditions of the Polh had not been violated, and it could be renewed at ny time within uch term, on paying up arrears with iterest; or if became a claim within that time, the Policy .would be paid, less arrears with interest. No Policy need therefore be sacrificed in consequence of the pressure of any temporary loss of employment or other mone tary embarrassment.

In introducing the TAYLOR'S PATENT SEWING MACHINE te your notice some two years ago, I gave it as my opinion from practical acquaintance with Sewing Machine mechanism, that this Machine would be found THE BE3T IN THE MARKET. It gives me much please to state that my opinion has been confirmed by those who have purchased these Machines expressing their virv great satisfac tion with them Notwithstanding the larok and steadily ikokkabino sal_ of these in the past, I confidently expect still greater results in the future, from the fact that the more recent Machines contain stili. rnaiHJß impbovskbmtb. which require only to be seen to be appreciated. I have, therefore, to invite those who contemplate the acquiring of a Sewing Machine, to inspeot TAYLOR'S PATENT SEWING MACHINES before purchasing. ' T. PEACOCK, Optician, Agent, v Shomxahd-stmit.
