The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 119th May, 1854, when a Report of the 'business for the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro gross. It appeared that the assurances in 1898 considerably ex ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of policies issued being more than 400, and the annual income thereon being upwards of ?Add. It also appeared that, exeept in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims' arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their esti mated amount. The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report,'and restdiril unanimously that a reduction of 91,4 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 first five years.
