At twelve o'clorit the large room was nearly filled, and @hardy after the Comniittee entered. Mr. PATTI:Mitt (of Norwich) then rose and said, that he was au early trustee to the Norwich Union Offi..e, and had been at all times extremely anxious fur it. welfare and prosperity. He begged leave to move that Thomas Denary, E.g. be requested to take the Chair. This motion was unanimously adopted, and Mr. Banst.str, in taking the Chair, hoped the Meeting would pay due attention to the business they were met to transact, and afford him every asoistassce in obtaining a patient heating fur every Gentleman who wished to address thew.—(Heer„ heir.) Mr. Parransom then moved." That the Report of the Committee be stow read." This motion was instantly adopted, and Mr. F. A. CLAItItt proceeded to read the Report, which was a must voluminous ducat/tent. entering into a minute detail of the rise and progress of the Norwich Union losorance Society. and embrac ing a full account of all the branches of it- nese and the mode of transacting it, since its firma two tweisty-oue years ago. It commenced by set ting forth the circum.tance which led to the ap pointment of this Committee. end alluded to the transactions of the George and Vulture Committee, and correspondence which had taken place between the Chairman of the York Hotel Committee and Mr. Alderman Thorp. It then enumerated the several cases or claimants which had come under the consideration of the Commit tee. and the speedy and satisfactory adjustment of them all, with the exception of some few which came too late to be admitted into the Report, or were held back until this Meeting was over, by consent of the claimants, from the impossibility of their getting •n earlier consideration. It stated, that the Board of Directors, at Norwich, had in stantly recognized and placed its confidence in the London Committee, for the purposes referred to it; and further tended every co-operation in their power to promote the inquiries of the Committee. IVith respect to the coustitut of the Norwich Union lusurance Society, the Committee were of opinion that considerable alterations were called fur in it, to give effect to the beneficial views which the Corporation was, front its nature, formed to realize. On the precise course which ought to be pursued in making these alterations, the Commit tee had not yet decided, but they thought the full est investigation into the mode of condor nog the business of the Society was imperatively called for, and dust a revision of the several Deeds. Settle. ments, Acts of Parliament, and other articles au. pertuiniug to the Corporation, should be immedi ately made. The Committee repressed its full conviction, tlmt the Board of Directors, at Nor. wick. would co-operate in carrying intolliect the itecessairy measures required for t h e bauefit of the establishment. The Committee. in the course of their inquiry, had found that the departments at Norwich. and generally through the country, pos sessed effective insulgetuent; but that theY thought. in the London department, Mr. Bigoold. sen. did not at all times ppy that implicit deference to the Norwich Board, which the Committee thoiight they were entitled to exact. They, however, high.. ly praised the zeal and attentiou of his soils to the interests of the concern. The Committee disap.. proved of the mode of depositing in banks, or *Hy trading time, such sums es had been so disproved or heretofore by this concern, even though certain interest were allowed; although their by no means Meant to cast any reflection on the Messrs. Bignolds its this respect, whose accounts were kept to a prompt and satisfactory Disinter. . Thet also thought, that the plait of the Treasorerahip should undergo revision; and the Committee further sl tutted to the circumittauce of the reversion provided by Mr. Bignold, pen.. for his soot,. whentrer he quitted the office of Secretary to this department. The Committee, is alluding to this enema deuce, paid the highest complbuesits to the intel ligence and honour of the soul of Mr. Bignold. They thought the Surveyorship should also IA placed on a loctiti lousing it was. uccooliiig to the present mode. Thr present Actuary war highly praised fur Ins plan of conducting the col culatima—his omnipotent was described as being most judicio th i. In alluding to Ilie ito ... . ,gtiun of certain Nuble . sisesi a. trustees for the concern, with out these personages holding ail communication with the managers, or feeling themselves at all re , receipt, of premiums received by the Society. amounted to 404,677/.

This balance was reduced by veveral incidentsl items of expenditure to the sutn of 508,9061. I i s. 9 I. Such was the adrplus balance in the Fire Department when the acconntv were made up last Christina... — The Committee then described the mode in which this sum was ineested: 10,0 i 0/. was in the .5 per Cents.. 4,0001. in the 4 per Cents., 12,008/. in the 3 per Cents., besides smaller sums in the South's:sok Bridge Company, and sii different parts of the coml. try on solid available security.—The Report then went into an average of the profits realized by the Norwich Union superior plan of outmost insurance, and pointed out what the .Committee conceived were its advantages over every other Insurance Com pany. On, a calculation of the whole twenty-one years, the Report .stated the average profit of the Company to have amounted to 341. per cent. It stated that the loaves of the year 1817, from fires (the work of incendiaries, a. was seasonably be lieved). were unusually great : Is the Life Depatlisest, Ilie•wbele itinotist received by Life Prelliiittall was £294,303 11 7 By Asesities • ....., • 61,437 IS 5 By llscieworeete to Chi1dren......... 6,369 13 io Fur earl... laterals 9,556 18 8 Interest on Mortgages Os other Seed Mier 13,499 IV 10 Dimio. fur Prompt Payment 6B 15 6 j 39.1,325 I I Of ibis amount the following sums had been paid away:— Os Deaths Densities to Representatives Cusississioa to Agents, histories, &c J. AMMO 19 4 This halionce was reduced, by sundry other inci dental expenses in the Life Department here, to 237,1801. 17e. gd. The Report recommended the universal adoption of officio., surgeons and scrutinizing agents, as tend ing much to the interest of the Society. By proper attention to these offices, the mortality had been re duced so low us in ten years not to exceed 95 per cent. on the premiums paid by insurers, while in the Equitable, and other Officer, the demands amounted to 63 per cent, lost year. the Commit. tee stated, that in this branch of the Norwich tie pertinent there was not n single claim in dispute, notwithstanding the extent of their business in all parts of the empire. The Co ttttt iitite regretted that the enemies of the Society forced Ilietn to compare other Insurstice Offices with this—they took the Equitable as furnishing the fairest ground of comparison, as both were fintuded on the prin ciple of mutual insurance. The Eqn,intble was.ro. toblished in 1762. In 1776, that is, 14 years utter its establishment, its number of policies was 913. In 1786, 2,100. Now, its the Norwich Office, in the course of tett years only, the number of life policies was 4.500; the lire policies bore the same proportion. The Committee further stated, that there was no ground whatever for any imputation of improvidence upon the Norwich Office, for Its af fairs were conducted with the uttnost care and cau tion, and they, in fact, were in the habit of reject. ing a great number of offers for insurance. The Report specified the total assets of the Norwich Company as amounting, on the 24th of March last, to 366,0871. 9s. 6d. and deposited in the hoods of various available secutities, under the control of the Directors at Norwich. The Committee strong ly recommended that the agents (whom conduct was described as having been correct and punctual) should hereafter be required to transmit their re turns quarterly, as it was found their profits cot tied the Directors to expect these payments in ouch a period. The Committee had also the satisfaction to state„' that the Directors at Norwich had prompt ly adopted a recommendation for tranoferriiig im mediately to trustees, duly appointed for the pur pole. the wheile of the 'reunites belonging to the establishment: Tile youtiOr Messrs.
