REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI-
NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the
ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850.

The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro-
posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which
323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Annual Premiums to
the amount of 2,9621. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors
have deemed' it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of
14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. stand over for the completion
or further consideration.

The number of claims from death during the year has been five,
and the amount paid upon theie, and 'upon the claims which arose
in December. 1849, is 2,250/. In all cases, when requested by the re-
presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the
usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon
the Society.

The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the
1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 11,0761. Is. 4d.
The Directors feel Breit pleasure in being enabled to submit this
very satisfactory statement, which cannot hut enlist from the
public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid
of the members must advance its prosperity.
By order of the Court of Directors.

L A MPS.—THE PATENT CANDLE LAMPS have obtained for
themselves a deserved and unrivalled superiority, and reasonably so.
Oil Lamps are most offensive to the smell, and the ephemeral Cam-
phine emits such smut and unwholesome effluvia as to injure health
and ruin dresses, &c., whilst the Caudle Lamp is inodorons and pure.
CHARLES WATSON invites the public to an inspection of the
above, in every variety, commencing with the Queen's Lamp, from
2s. to 265. ; the mid size, from its. to 355. ; and the magnum, from
355. to five guineas. Candlel for the above at the lowest price in the
trade.
