This Society is established on the tried and approved principle
of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu-
nave 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. Poliicy-
holders participate in profits after payment of live annual pre-
miums.

The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the
30th May, 1854, when a Report of the business for the last year
was presented, exhibiting a statement of moat satisfactory pro-
gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex-
ceeded those effected In any previous year; the number of
policies issued being more than 460, and the annual income
thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except
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 resolved unanimously that a reduction of dli 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.
