Deducting the sums payable on demand, or at an early
maturity, it will be found that thorealised assets above set
forth amount to £2,897,856 10s. 3d., and the Proprietors
will observe that of this amount £177,680, their paid-up
capital, is set apart exclusively for them; £1,738,661 16s. 6d.
exclusively for the policyholders, and £981,514 135.91. for
both. This last item forms the provision for the present
bonus, and the accumulating fund for future bonuses and
expenses, and it is recommended accordingly that £208,774
be now appropriated for immediate distribution, leaving
£772,740 13s 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet the reduc-
tions of premium in respect of the policies transferred by
the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of
which reductions, it may be remembered, is to take place
in 1868.
The share of the present distribution pertaining to the
proprietors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early
in October. The portion to be allotted to the policyholders
will be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of
the addition made in each case despatched to them; but
this prccess will necessarily occupy considerable time.
Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these
reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined
table, which exhibits them in tho instance of assurances
twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com-
mencement of the risk.

The additions to be made to the assurances of the So-
ciety just transferred will bo in the same proportion, but

ciety just transferred will ,in the same proportion, biL
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 be 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
eny . jo
