HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 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 £2,894,107, 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.

The premiums on new assurances 'are £14,596 is. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured aro nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly .E 19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of p
re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
