No Life Office in Great Britain, sines the EQUITABLE of
LONDONi enacted its restricting Bye-Law of 1816, has been ena-
bled to afford equal advantages to the Assured.
Its Funds and Revenues are in a state of this.most rapid increase.
Assurances which may now bo opened will rateably participate,
agreeably to the Laws of the Society, in the additions to be declared
at the ensuing Periodical Investigation.
On this point reference is made to a Report lately submitted to
a General Meeting of the Members in the Western District of Scot-
land, which, after alluding to the continued prosperity of the
Society, and the cause to which this might be attributed, pro-
ceeds as follows:—" There can be no doubt, therefore, that
the Society is at this moment in the possession of a large Sur-
rf% Fund, which, under the limitations contained in the Articles
Constitution, will become available at the end of the pre-
Illt year, in making Additions or Bonuses to the Policies.

Z"r.,stigations now in progress are completed, or until the proper
11loel actually arrives, to state with any precision what the actual
i,sults mth at ay be ; but they can state generally. with thegreatest
;nee, airs
at no former period of the Society's progress have its
airs been in a sounder or more prosperous condition than they
lare at the present moment. The process of investigation is now
going on in the most minute manner. From the progress already
-lade, there is every reason to expect that matters will be suffi-
ciently forward to enable the Directors to announce the results
It the Annual General Court, to be held in Edinburgh on 15th
.illnuary next. Not only will every publicity be immediately
nreafter given, through the usual channels, to these results, but,
7naa been hitherto the practice, Bonus Certificates will be trans-
Laltted to every individual member, either now connected with the
ceciety, or entering previous to the close of the present year, sta-
ilag the amount of vested or Retrospective Bonuses, as well as con-
the and prospective Bonuses attaching to each Policy, down to
next septennial period of investigation in 1845.'1
