June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of
Pt oprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES
WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in
the Chair.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last
annual general meeting a report was made to them for the
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
bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d.

HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,166
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
Tho interest received during the year is £117,581 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 £5 12s. per cent.
Tho 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 idea
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 baying 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. Tho whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of littlo more than 54
per cent. on the total income.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation
of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.
The assured will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording t , the duration of the Policy, such amounts being
set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and
others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by
mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual securities.

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. Tho longest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon t•o advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies
are held as collateral security.

It is only necessary to add that, /IS a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and :neon-
ditional, they will also be unchaliengeable on any krennd
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security P.l ieIFS.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

A flying column, under the command of M tjor-
Gen. H. 1). White, C. 8., and consisting of the
undermentioned regiments and corps, is held in
readiness to march from Aldershott Camp and
barracks to Sandhurst to-morrow, and there en-
camp until Monday, the 2d proximo : —7th Dragoon
Guards, under the command of Col. R. Clarke ;
Ist Battalion 12th Regiment, under Col. H. M.
Hamilton ; Ist Battalion 25th King's Own Bor-
derers, under Col. H. T. Walker; 4th Battalion
Rifle Brigade, under Col. F. R. Elrington ; " D"
battery of the " C" Brigade Royal Horse Artillery,
a battery of the 11th Brigade Royal Artillery, and
a detachment of the Royal Engineers, with half the
number of signallers.
Yesterday morning ten non-commissioned officers
of the class undergoing a course of training for scr•
geant cooks at Aldershott left camp for Stioebury-
' ness to construct field kitchens, ench as those used
on a campaign, for the Artillery Volunteers who
are there undergoing a course of training.
The head-quarters and one wing of the G7th
Regiment, at present statioceJ at Portsmouth, are
under orders to move to Aldershott without de-
lay. The wing will be accompanied by the
women and children, and will encamp at Rushmoor
Bottom.

The Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, under the
command of Colonel the Hon. P. R. Basil Field-
ing, about 700 strong, is held in readiness to pro-
cct4 from Aldershott Camp to London on the 3d

camp by aaother battalion of Guards on the follow-
ing day.

A gun, called the mitrailleur, or rifled battery,
was undergoing trial yesterday at the Inner Range
Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, under the superintend-
ence of Major Fosberry. It consists of 37 barrels,
each cf which is discharged in succession, firing a
bullet, and is worked round by a handle. The
object of the gnu, by the rapidity of its firing
and supposed destructive effect, is said to com-
pare NA ith that of shrapnel shell fired from field
guns.
