The Twenty-Third Annual General Meeting of this Society was held at Edinburgh on the 9nd of May, 1354 ; William Stuart Walker, Esq., of Rowland, in the chair. The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unanimously approved of, contained the following particulars: — The number of Policies issued during the year ending the Ist of March is 420, the sums assured thereby being 282 15L., giving an addition to the income id Annual Premiums of 4951. The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the sums assured by which amount to 49,8501., and the bonus additions to 8,4821., making together 58,3321. In comparing these sums with the amounts fur the preceding year, they exhibit an increase of seventeen in the number of new policies, and of about 6,0001. in the sums assured. The increase, though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory, especially when regard is had to the great competition which now exists in the business of life Assurance. The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of last year, and the amount payable nearly 7,0001. less. Keeping in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age of the members of the Society, these are most gratifying circuit'. stances. The bums remaining Assured amount to 4,234,3991.; The Annual Revenue amounts to 162,8161.; And the Accumulated Fund is Increased to 839,3641. •*• Medical Referees paid by the Society.

The Rates of Premium are those adopted by the principal Life (Maces; the Rate without Bonus is lower thau that of most other Offices. The Bonuses are added to the Policies, or applied to the re duction of Premiums. Policies issued by this Office are purchased at their full value ; co Loans may be obtained upon them atter they have been in existence five years. If a party neglect to pay for the renewal of hls policy he may repair the omission any time within twelve months, upon proof of good health. The Profits (subject to a trifling deduction) are divided among the Insured. The plan upon which they are divided gives to each pasty insured a share proportionate to the amount of the premiums he has contributed. In addition to this advantage which is now offered to the Policy-holders in this Office, an annual addition or bonus is made to each policy in anticipation of the quinquennial Division of Profits.

SAMUEL HIBBERT, Esq., Chairman. WILLIAM It. ROBINSON, Esq., Deputy-Chairman. The Scale of Premiums adopted by this Office will be found of a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate to the risk incurred. Four-fifths, or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Po licies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum in sured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums. One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 5001. and upwards, fur the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of 601. and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate value. SECURITY.—Those who effect Insurances with this Company are protected by its subscribed capital of 750,0001., of which nearly 140,0001. is invested, from the risk incurred by members of Mutual Societies. The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the fol lowing statement:- 0u the 31st October, 1853, the sums Assured, In cluding Bonus added, amounted to 12,500,000 The Premium Fund to more than And the Annual Income, from the same source, to 109,0 G Insurances, without participation in Profits, may be effected at reduced rates.
