The

iditions to be made to the assurances of the So-

cietijust transferred will be in the same proportion, but
will be necessarily smaller in amount, in consideration of
the shorter time, that is to say, of the eighteen months
only in which they have accrued.
The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory,
and they trust that the Proprietors will be of the same
opinion; looking at the progress which the Company has
made during the last twenty years and the position which
it has now attained they feel themselves justified in anti-
cipating that its future career will bo a successful one.
They will only add, that they hope in a few weeks to be
enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the new
promises in Pall-mall, and thenceforth to have more suit-
able accommodation for the carrying on of the Company's
business than it has been their good fortune of late years to
enjoy.
The direction of the Company is now constituted as
follows :

Col. CHAS. WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman.
Eight. Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Rut., K.C.8., Deputy

Chairman.
