In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 50/.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.

• LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and ether
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.
