The funds are accumulid, d fur the exclu lave benefit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided,annually, anti applied in reduction of the current premiums. Forney holders participate in profits after payment of the annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30th May, 155.1, when a Report of the business for the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of policies issued being more than 4to, and the annual income thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims arising front deaths were, in every year, much below their esti mated amount. The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of per cent. should be made in the current year's premium payable by all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the profits. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the firss five years. The following Table exemplifies the effect of the present re duction Age when) Assured.
