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.

CR. CHARGE OF THE YEAR
Dividend to proprietors
Cla;ms on decease of lives
assured £265,523 13 5
Additions to those under

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not infrequently 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-
cialls 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 fig d 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 aro 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 withonat 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

,rticipating policies 22,816 4 7
Policies surrendered 28,642 11 3
Re-assurances, now 3,270 15 4
Ditto, old 50,365 0 8

actual securities. •
In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1,-ngest
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 cltss as security,.
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to mail:tain the full benefit of the
Assurauzes—a matter of great importance where pacies
are held as collateral security.
It is ruely nerrsBary to 8.1.1 that, as a consegnenee of the
policies under these tables l ein> uuforreitable anti uneon-
dilional, they will also be uncliallongyable on any t'round
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security lieies.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466

rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131.811 14s. 9d.—raises

The interest received during the year is £117,584 78.
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.,

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 preminms 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

UNION OF DENMARK, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY.

The marriage of the Crown Prince of Denmark with
the Princess Louise, heiress presumptive of the Crown of
Sweden and Norway, has been definitely fixed for the 27th
of July. This will be one of the most important political

and Norway.
