PARR'S LIFE PILLS clear from the body all
hurtful impurities. 'I he mild pleasant action and power-
ful curative properties of this medicine recommend it as the
most useful remedy for the restoration of sound bodily health
and mental vigour.

LAW CLASSES.
In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted
under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers,
and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The
number of subscribers to such class will be limited, and
the instruction given will be confined to an examination
of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or
on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject.
A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and
be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc-
tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the
lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the
memory by the classes ; and the system of constant ex-
amination will test, from time to time, the progress made
by the students.

Proprietors August 14, 1868—Colooel CHARLES
WETHEIALL, .Ii.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in
the ('hair.

annual ganeral 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 soon, is £544.466
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.
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.

--7 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 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. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5.1
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :
DR. LIABILITIES.
Interest due to proprietors
Claims on decease of lives assured, and
additions thereto unpaid
