NYOIMICH UNION LIFE OFFICE.—The public
are aware, from some recent discussions, of the great extent
of this EstabL'shment, which takes rank, we believe, as second
Life Office in the United Kingdom, and has its head-quarters
likewise in our city. The Norwich Union was, we are in-
formed, the first office to commence business on the scale of
rates nearly 101. per cent. below the elder offices, thus mate.
rially cheapening insurance ,to the public, and yielding an ad-
vantage to policy-holders equivalent to an annual bonus. On
the total of its business, since the first establishment of the
office, this advantage has, we understand, amounted to no less
a sum than 300,0001. In other words, had the same quantum
of insurance business been transacted at the Equitable, the
Rock, the Atlas, or most other Life Offices, the public must
have paid 300,0001. more than the Norwich Office has charged.
3n addition to this important advantage, it is stated in the
published accounts, that bonuses have been declared at dif-
_ferent periods to the amount of 445,798/. By the first report
of the referees appointed at the general meeting of November
last to investigate the affairs of this Society, it appears that
notwi:hstanding its reduced scale of premiums, as compared
with ogler offices, the state of its affairs is such, that those
gentlemeo, after instituting a " most elaborate and searching
investigatioi:a" declare, that " they have every reas.m to be-
lieve the interests of the assured are perfectly secure." They
also express then: selves justified in the belief that the present
scale of premiums ("which have yielded the above advantages)
is amply sufficient ; and a gratifying prospect is held out to
the assured that a further " handsome bonus will at no distant
period be declared." Cord;ally then do we congratulate the
managers of the office on this honourable testimony to their
skill in carrying out the principles on which it is founded, and
to their caution in the admission of on which the welfare
of, a Life Office may be said entirely to rest. For the honour
of 'alir native city, we rejoice to find that an establishment
bearing the name of " Norwich" (and where we hope it may
flourish for many a generation) has realized such splerolid ad-
vantages ,`o the public, is sound in its present condition, and
bids fair to ecure all the prospective benefits which its sin-
cerest well-withers could desire.—Norfolk Chronicle.
