Extracts from the Report of the Directors for 1853:
"The Directors cam:rat ulate their fellow-members on the very grati-
fying result of the rale:lay -completed Quinquennial Investigation of
the assets and liabilities of the Institution, by which it appea-s that.
on ths) 20th November, 1854, after providing for the present value of
all the habit ties in the Lifa Assurance Department, a surplus re-
mainel of 242,6271. Os. Od., 'which has been duly apportioned as
heretofore.
The reductions range from 5 to 89 per cent, on the original Annual
Premiums, acciirding to the age of the party and the time the Policy
has been in force; and the Bonuses vary in like manner, from 50 to
75 per cent. on the amount of premiums paid during the last five
years.
" The total amount of the reductions per annum for the ensuing five_
years is 33,3481. 17s. 2d
" The Bonuses assigned to those policies pn which the original pre-
miums continue to be paid amount to 89,8801 ss. Od. ; this, together
with Bonuses apportioned at former divisions, makes an aggregate
addition to the sums assured by the Policies in force of 126,5641.
" Notwithstanding the great reduction of Premiums, the net annual
income arising from 12,326 existing Policies is 163,9121. 7-. Id.; this
sum, with the interest on invested capital, viz., 37,2981. 7s. 31,
shows a total annual Income of 201,210/. 14s. 4d."
The amount of Capital exceeds ONE MILLION STERLING.
Members, whose premiums fall due on the Ist July are reminded
that they must be paid within 30 days from that date.
Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained on appli-
cation to the Office.

HOLIDAY for PARLIAMENT.--Then Par-
liament is prorogued—the holiday is to lee a long one. We
are informed that E. MOsES and SOS don't pretend to take the
measure of Parliamentary duties, but are most happy to measure the
i
members and their dependents for the Dress which is admired n
every station for its excellence, fashion, and cheapness. They don't
wish to make laws, it being their 6usine,s to` make clothes for every
person in the world, and we are Assured on every hand that their
efforts have met with the most astonishing success in all parts of the
empire.
The C snstitueats which have pushed them forward to the repre-
sentation of everybody it the best and most fashionable Dress are
novel and unparalleled in Aerials, first-rate talent, and unequalled
workmanship applied to ail Articles of Attire. Having worked hard
through a very long ses-don on every kind of good and correct
measures, it would be reasonable enough for them to claim a holiday.
This, however, they could not do wilfout infl cting an inconvenience
on the public and neglecting their professions, which are to supply
at any moment Dress, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c.,
&c., to order or ready-made, celebrated for superiority, elegance,
neatness, novelty, and cheapness.
As commercial transactions and shipning business admits of no
sus,ension, E. Moses and SON'S Wholesale Clothing, Shirts, Hosiery,
