ISSUE OF DEBENTURES.
The Directors having been empowered at the Special
General Meeting of the Proprietors held to-day to issue de-
bentures to the amount of £35,000, are prepared to receive
applications for the same for the terms of two and four years
at .he following rates of interest :

Two years 6i per cent. per annum.
Four years 6 ~ „
The debentures will be of three denominations, namely, £2O,
£5O, and £lOO, and will have interest coupons attached, pay-
able half-yearly, on the Ist of September and the Ist of
March in each year.
._ _

The contracts held by the Company with various parties in
this country and abroad, and ranging over a period of five
years from the Ist of January last, amount to considerably
more than the sum the Directors are authorised to borrow,
and afford ample security for the payment of the inte-
rest and the redemption of the debentures. In addition to
this security there remains upwards of 250,000 of the SUB-
SCRIBED CAPjTAL of the Company uncalled up.
All applications should be addressed to the Secretary, ac-
companied by a deposit of Ten per cent. on the amount of
debentures applied for.
In the event of no debentures being issued, the deposit
will be returned in full without any deduction.
By order of the Board,
FREDERICK J. GItIF FITHS, Secretary.

EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, London.
REPORT of the Directors for the Year ending 30th
June, 1865, read at the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,
11th August, 1865.

THOMAS 60DFREY SAMBROOKE, ESQ., in the Chair.
The Directors have again, in discharge of the duties en-
trusted to them, to make their annual report to the Pro-
prietors, and, as on previous occasions, they will first call
their attention to the particulars of the surplus fund ac-
count, comprising as it does all the important financial oc-
currences of the year.
It will be seen by this account that the total income of
the year is £424,489 7s. Id., and the total charge £373,551
7s. The difference is £50,888 Os. ld., which being added
to the surplus fund of last year augments it to £678,964
12s. ld. The amount thus laid by in three years since the
last valuation is £201,571 17s. 9d.
The sum received on account of newassurances—.£3l,ls7
19s. 4d —is unusually large ; but, as will be seen, a con-
siderable portion of it has been devoted to reassurance.
An extraneous profit was made last year of more than
£17,500, and upwards of £15,700 has been similarly realised
this year.

The claims on decease of lives assured have been
heavier than usual. There is, however, no reason to doubt
but that the proper average for the quinquennial period
will obtain. The average for the last three years is
£240,480.
The expenses last year were no less than those of the
previous one. This year they are again reduced, being
nearly £5OO less than they were in the last year's account.
The balance-sheet calls for very little remark—some of
the items amongst the assets are increased and some
diminished—the total of them, less the liabilities, is
£50,888 Os. ld. greater than in the last account, and the
surplus fund exhibits accordingly a corresponding aug-
mentation. •
