SHORT SU3I3IARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Lulgato 11il, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.
The Annual Premium Income of the company, at the
close rf 1868, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4.832,197.
The Business is divided under two beads:-
Ist --The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies..
2nd—The Industrial or Working Class Assurances
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sutnAssured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing, was £139;322 15 8
The Premium income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve...-. 50,000 0 0

£lB 322 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very largo proportion of
Policies which const ,ntly lapse, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
The Assurance Fund on list Decem-
ber, 1868, was ... £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.

A detailed List of Assets can be bad on application.;

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted `n the present building.
£B,OOO at least isfrequired to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, B.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by
