At the close of the present year, the Assets and Liabilities will be

of profits in 1842 will be equitably apportioned among the members,
and, early in the ensuing year, the bonuses 1- ue on each policy will
be declared.
All policies effected before the 20th of October next, will participate
In the profits, either by a bonus added to the policy, or a reduction of
premium, at the option of the member.
Among the privileges to be derived by effecting assurances in this
Institution, is that of members being able to secure the benefits of
their policies to nominees, tree from any charge, and exempt from pro-
bate and legacy duties.
The gratifying result of the valuation of the liabilities and assets
of the Institution made in November, 1842, is exemplified iu the fol-
lowing instances, exhibiting the profit assigned o Policies which had
