At the Seventh Annual General Meeting, held at the London
Tavern, on the 15th inst.,
LORD VISCOUNT TORRINGTON IN VIE CHAIR,
the following Report was received, and unaninaoualy approved :

" In submitting their Annual Report to your consideration, the
Board are enabled again to pr•sent a statement, showing a highly
satisfactory advance in the business of the Company.
" At the last annual meeting it was seen that the progress of the
company had b• en greater in that than in any previous year, and it
is gratifying to observe that the new business of 1854 has again ex-
ceeded that of the previous year, while the business of the current
year exc 'ells that of the corresponding months of 1854. This large
and steadily-progressive amount of business has been obtainel not-
wit tstanding the obstacles to the extension of life assurance arising
from the pressure of a war taxation hearing heavily upon the means
of all classes of the community. While the premiums of the new
business of 1854 exceed those of 1853, the expenses have been less.
1` At the close of the year, embraced in the accounts now pre-
sented, the revenue of the company was a little under, and now con_
aiderably exceeds, 20.0..10/. per annum.
" At the last annual .neeting a reduction of 25 per cent. was
made upon the premiums of all participating policies of five years'
standing, .ttid it is recommended that the seine rale of reduction shall
be eon limed, which will embrace all the participating policies on
which five annua' premiums have been paid prior to th,s date.
" The claims of last year have been greater, as was to have been
expect d, than in the preceding year, but considerably under what
the expectancy, upon which the calculations of the Office are founded,
would have warranted us to anticipate.
" Great as the success of this Association has hitherto been, the
Directors would again remind the Members that their own interests
as well as the general benefit of the community may be greatly pro-
moted by the exercise of their individual intlience.
