~lrectors, that they were able to announce a very favourable con-
li_nuation of the successful progress of the Company during the last

Whsle the affairs of the Company were at present in a most flourish-

been very satisfactory, although at Dublin, Cork, and Glasgow, and
other places where fever had been prevalent, very many proposals

ent made on former occasions, that the number of deaths of those
sZured since the formation of the Company was greatly less than
number provided for by the well-known tables of the Equitable
Nulty
of London. He hoped he might be allowed to ascribe this
,„_ni to the caution of the Directors, as well as to the caution and
the of Mr. lisle Thomson and the other medical officers of
*lle Company.
Mr. DE Canto stated, that the Directors had every reason. to
Anticipate that the division of profits, among those holding Assur-
ance* at the participating rate, and to the Proprietors, on the Ist
of January 1848, wOuld be of a favourable character. The declara-
tion of this division would of course, be made at their next Annual
Meeting in July 1848.
It
was his painful duty to remind the General Meeting of the me-
'co-oIY event, which had happened soon after their last Annual
Meeting, in the mouth of August, 1846, the death of their late Re-
sident Director, Mr. Edward Boyd, of whom it is but justice to state,
...that It Was to his unexampled zeal, and to the extraordinary perse-
-•eranoe

bad heard, would agree with him in approving the rotation, esta-
bY the deed of settlement, in the retirement and election of
ilwa Directors of the Company, which had to-day, at their Annual
vreetbig, placed in the chair Mr. De Castro, who is so thoroughly
t ell informed tn their affairs. His explanation of the progress cf
...116 Company, during the last year, had been so clear and satisfactory
addressed
to have lett him, who had hitherto at:every annual meeting
,7,aressed a few words to them, nothing to say. He could not, how-
ver, take his seat again without joining their worthy Chairman in
'exPressing his deep regret on account of the lamented loss they had
unstained since their last meeting, of Mr. Boyd. the founder of the
one of the original Proprietors, and a Di-
CreecectopranfrOm ilitsavign commencement in March, 1834, to the present day,
to one had possessed better opportunities of being acquainted with
Mr. Boyd's indefatigable exertions to form and establish the Corn •
PanY, which could not have been surpassed, and which, without all
doubt, led to its present prosperity. He was devoted to the Company
and to its establishment and success to the day of his death. Many
of those present must recollect his being carried to the table at the
last annual meeting, although suffering under acute illness without
any hopei or recovery, and taking a share in the business of the
day, but a very few weeks before his decease. Fortunately for the
Company, his son, Mr. Lennox Boyd, who was first, in 1838, Se-
cretary, and afterwards one of the Directers had been able to
give his father most useful assistance during his long indisposition.
The Directors, fully aware of the experience be had thus acquired,
and df his intimate acquaintance with the details of the office, una-
nimously appointed him to succeed his father as Resident Director
or Manager of the Company; and though speaking under restraint
ht his presence, he was bound to add, that Mr. Lennox Boyd's assi-
e'n tr, and the ability which he had shown throughout, most fully
Justified the appointment. These are not, Mr. Stuart said, mere
'Words of course, they are uttered by one who is for some time every
day, unless when absent from London on official duty, in the office
cst. the Company, and who never fails to find Mr, Lennox Boyd there
at the head of the establishment, and superintending every part of

not suffered from being committed to him, than is established by this
Juan'ed by the books, that in the last six months, from Ist
„„_ to 30th June, 1847, the amount of new assurances was
3:Z..a_tr by
51,513/., and the relative amount of premiums greater by
than in the same period from Ist January to 30th June, 1846;
the sums assured in the six month in 1846 being 145,2341., and pre-
-7,346/s. 4'6361', ant in the same six months in 1847, 196,7471. and
