Dimators. THE CHISHOLM, Chairman. RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, Esq., Alderman, Deputy Chairman. This Society is established on the tried and approved prinriple of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu ive benefit of the Policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually, and applied in reduction of the Current premiums. Policy holders participate in profits after payment of five annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30th May, 1655, when a Report of the business for the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro gress. It appeared that during the two last years, 1833 and 1654, between 800 and 900 new Assurances had been effected, producing an increase of premium income amounting to 14,0001. per annum. It also appeared that, notwithstanding the extraor• dinary mortality which prevailed during the last year in conse quence of the visitation of the cholera, it had not been found necessary to reduce, in the slightest, the allowance of 31j per cent. previously awarded to the Policy-holders. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first Ave years. A. R. IRVINE, Managing Director. 14, Waterloo-place, London.
