The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
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 and distinct.

VAST 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 fur more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend.upon more children,
but no more -can be admitted in ..the preSent
£B,ooo'at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent_scheme. . .
Contributions will be thankfully received by tho Trea-
