EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, London,
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS,
For the year ending 30th June, 1866,read at the ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING, 10th August, 1866.

CHARLES CHATFIELD, Esq., in the chair.

The Directors have the satisfaction of reporting to the
proprietors that, in pursuance of-''the resolutions unani-
mously passed at the Special General Meeting held in
April last, the amalgamation of the National Mercantile
Assurance Society with the Eagle has been carried into
effect, and two of the directors of that society—Mr. Wil-
coxon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre-
derick De la Rue—now occupy seats at the Eagle Board.
The following account exhibits the increased income
and outgoing of the year arising fihdlia the junction, which
it may be remembered takes effect retrospectively, and the
balance-sheet shows the assets as they existed on the 30th
June last, augmented by those just transferred.
By the Surplus Fund account it will be seen that the
total income from premiums and interest is £483,376 Os.
11d., and the total outgoing £414,790 13s. 6d. The dif-
ference, £68,585 7s. 5d., and the surplus fund contributed
by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 Bs. 6d., increase
the surplus fund of the company to £899,095 Bs.
The premiums on new assurances are considerably
less than those of the foregoing year; but at the same
time a much smaller portion of them has been devoted to
re-assurance.
The change in the financial position of the Company
precludes an exact comparison with former years. The
expenses of management of the Eagle for the year are al-
most identical in amount with those of the last. The Ex-
penses of the National Mercantile Society will, of course,

henceforth cease.
Deducting the several items payable on demand, or at
an early maturity, the realised assets, as set forth in the
balance sheet, amount to £2,559,135 4s. Bd. Of this sum
£178,340 belongs exclusively to the proprietors, £1,481,699
16s. Bd.* exclusively, to the policy holders, and £899,095 Bs.
partly to the one and partly to the other. The last two
items subject, of course, to exact adjustment at each quin-
quennial investigation.
It remains only for the Directors to mention that, since
the last annual meeting the Company has lost, by the de-
cease of Sir William Gore Ouseley, and by the retirement
of Mr. Gould, the services of two of the members of the
board. Both gentlemen were much respected, and it is
with great regret that the directors have to make this an-
nouncement.
* £5,880,163 14s. 4d., less £4,398,463 17s. Bd.
