The directorS draw special attention to the fact thrt 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 ban institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £511,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £109,651 14s. 5(1. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. Gd.
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 £5 12s. 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 loss than those of last
rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two olliceslastabsorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, ik at the rate of little more than 51-
per cent. on the total income.
