next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much'
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate anl distinct.

quinquennial period then terminating, and that•a bonus
was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1867. after deduction of this

HENRY ROSE,
Tho total income of the year, it will be seen, is £514,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by-
viz., £134.811 14s. 9d.--raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.

The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is a the rate of little more than 5j
per cent. on the total income.

The present dieposition of the Company's funds is shown
by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it
will be observed that further investments have been made
on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about
£ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com-
pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030

In addition to the above-named homes, the Committee
have under their charge three homes for servants of good

servants annually.
The home at Great Pot tland-strect is for young fallen
girls from 10 to 16. The committee ate deeply anxious to
open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.
The Society's Report (of which a contributor writes, "I
never read a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my
sympathy") maybe bad on application.
The Society is under the presidency of tho Earl of

The Committee very earnestly commend its work to the
