. .
NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181,
and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been
effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811,
and the latter by £2,392, the corresponding items of any
previous period; that
TILE INGO XtE had increased from £195,100 to .4215,327
per annum; and that

THE ASSURANCE FUND, after plymont of £85,303
on account of Bohns at the last Division, had risen from
£1,122,191 to £1,619,339.

2. AS TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OP TILE SOCIETY.
That the Assets on Jun© 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 14 8
And the Liabilities on the same date 1,343,708 19 2

Leaving a surplus of £275,830 15 6

and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve

TQE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d.,
of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division.

3. As TO THE RFSULTS OF THE DIVISION.
That tho portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths,
or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a
REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES
of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the
different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums
paid since the last division ; and that the
CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such
Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the
like premiums.
The Report explained at length the nature of the In-
vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of
which, as above shown, are eminently favourable.

The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in
January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES
BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled
at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits

Every exertion is being used by the officials and
-workmen at Chatham Dockyard to have the steel
boat, ordered to be constructed for the use of the ex-
ploring party about to be despatched to the interior
of Africa to obtain traces of Dr. Livingstone, com-
pleted in about a fortnight from the present time;
as the expeditionary party will leave England early
in the ensuing month. -The boat is to be built of
steel and charcoal-prepared iron plates, of a suffi-
cient size to permit of their being carried overland
by the negroes, the boat being put together by
:means of bolts. The vessel, which is being built
from the designs of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of
the Navy, and of Mr. Young, Royal Navy, who will
have the charge of the exploring party, will be com-
pleted with all despatch. She will be fitted with a
mast and set of sails, while her draught of water
will be very trifling, so as to enable her to asccutl
the riverg and lakes in the intericr cf Africa,
