ANDREW STEPHENSON DASLISII, Esq.,Chairman of the Board, in_the Chair The Manager read a Report by the Directors on the affairs of the Company as at Igh January, 1850, when the Il'ioks were closed, giving details of the Assurances effected. during the year then ended, also embodying the results of the FIFtH ANNUAL BONUS INVESTIGATION which had been insti tuted as at that date, and showing the position of the Com pany's business in all its departments. From the Report it appeared that a large and satisfactory amount of new Assr rances h^a ' since the last Meetine— that the Fr uc.......peneu Di Lit., of the Company are securely and advantageously invested — that the REVENUE FROM PREMIUMS exceeds £31,000 PER ANNUM— that the SUMS ASSURED are close upon ONE MILLION STERLING; and that the Company's progress has in all respects, during the last year, been such as to warrant the Directors in stating, that few Offices hold out more immediate and lasting advan tages to Assurers than those offered by this Company. A Bonus addition, for the year ending 19th January, 1150, of ONE AND A HALF PER CENT. 011 the sums assured, was declared on all Policies opened on the participation scheme, with the ortioa to the Policy-holders, if they prefer it, of receiv ing in Cash the value of the Bonus addition, instead of having it added to their Policies—the effect of this being, if the cash value is taken, TO EFFECT A LARGE REDU T ON FROM THE ANNUAL PREMIUM. It was noticed in the eteport, that th system of an Annual Declaration of Bonus, first adopted by this Company, is daily becoming more appreciated by the Public, and that the peculiar advantage which it offers OF ADMITTING POLICY-HOLDERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRC FITS THE FIRST YEAR THEY ENTER, iS evidently ."^'" entitle this Company to a preference. The Meeting imanimotisly adopted the Report, and then proceeded to the election of three Ordinary Directors, in place of those who retire by rotation.

CONSTITUTED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT ANNUAL REPORT, 1850, rrHE TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL I MEETING of this COMPANY was bell on FRIDAY, the 15th of February, within their Office, No. 3, George-street, Edinburgh,— _ _ _ GEORGE MOIR, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair. The Directors submitted various statements showing the progress of the Institution since its commencement, and the satisfactory result of the business during the past year. . It appeared from the statements submitted — That 808 New Policies had been issued during the year ending 15th November, IM9. That the sums assured during that period amounted to That the IVtin;i)eroil i roposals made to the Company during the same period was 997, of which 808 were accepted, That a large addition had been made to the Funds of the Com pany, and that the Directors were still enabled to main- are most satisfactorily secured. The following are Extracts from the Report submitted by the Directors to the Meeting:— _ " From these statements it will be perceived that the Com pany have been enabled to issue the large number of 808 Po- Pnlirieg nn flip licies, neino• b an increase or upwarus :::w business of 1848, and a much larger number than was ever issued by the Company in :ny previous year. In drawing at tention to this result, the Directors beg to point out the com paratively small excess of the sums assured over the year 1848, £33,507 145. Bd., as contrasted with the increased number of Policies issued, the average amount of the New Policies being . . about .es3t) in place of .tlOO, which has obtained for many years in the business of the Company. The conclusion to be drawn from this appears to be that the Company have made a considerable extension of their business, the numbir of trans actions, not the amount assured, being the best test of progress. The Directors are further impressed with the opinion that, to some extent, the result evinces a renewal of prosperity through- out the country, es shown by the increased number Or Policies, the effects of past depression limiting the amount of assurance sought." - - - " Of the claims, upwards of one-fifth was occasioned by cho lera, which has to some extent. no doubt. increased the morta- that cause superseded deaths by other causes. The whole mor tality, however, is not so great as in the year 1847, when fever was so nrevalent ; and altogether, the Directors consider they have good cause of congratulation in having passed through a year marked by such increased mortality throughout the coun try, without a larger amount of claims." "These are the satisfactory results of the past year ; and the Directors feel confident that they can hold out to the Pro prietors the prospect of continued success for the future. One year may vary from another in the degree of advancement made, but the general progress of the Company will, they con fidently state, be a steady onward movement, advancing from step to step for the future, as it is now doing, with a rapidity which few, if any, institutions of the kind have equalled."

The arrangements have all been completed, and the transfer ence is about to be made, but as the transaction has been en tered into since the balance of the Standard Company on 15th November last, to which the present report bears reference, the Directors have not included in the statements now submitted any notice of its affairs." After the report and statements were submitted, the Chair man congratulated the meeting on the satisfactory position of the He drov‘ktention to th of the COmpany's funds, and the satisfactor they are invested, and to the large revenue of the Company He also drew attention to the fact of the present being the bonus year, affording additional inducement to parties to effect Assurances, and he urged on all to make an increased effort to advance the interests of the institution securities in which The report was approved of, on the motion of John Tod, Esq., W.S., and the meeting expressed entire satisfaction with the progress and position of the Co. - npany.

It is not my business, and lam sure it would be no satisfaction to you, if I were to boast of the excellence of our system, or the greatness of our success; and still less would it give any satisfaction to you if I were to do that from which every respectable Society will for ever abstain—that of attempting to raise ourselves by a contrast or comparison, or even by an allusion to kindred Institutions. (Applause .) I have stated the farts; and having done so, I can coo no m It is for you to judge how your :affairs have been_ managed, to carry away with you those resolutions or judgments which the statements you have beard are calculated to produce. My inferences are merely two. It seems to me, in the first place, that this is a Society in which we may have perfect confidence. (Hear, hear.) My belief—knowing as Ido something, about it, although not so much certainly as many others—is, that our confidence in it may go to this extent, that if we were to begin our career again, with the experience which we have acquired, I know many ways in which we might act dWerently, but I know no way 5n which we could do better. (Applause.) Mo ralists have often amused themselves by speculating about what a man would do, if he was again to become a boy, with all the seriously and firmly be time and the yrar 1850, in the very ruts by wh 'y other inference the san duty of winced that prudence is a virtue, but ail men are not convinced that there is no form in which that virtue can be practised with so small a present sacrifice, contrasted with so great an ulti mate reward. If yogi want any examples of this, I can tell ytits. where you are to find them. You are not to seek for them here. You must go among the families of those who have been bereaved, and amongst whom the Society has alrea , ly distri buted greatly beond a million of money.
