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 'puisuance 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 directiars 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 from 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 aro 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-
pensesOCiety will, of course,

It remains only for the Directors to mention that, since

and by the retirement

with great regret that the directors have to make this an-

o'clock by Mr. Stock, Q.C. The ceremony was to have
taken place at throe o'clock, but in consequence of the im-
mense quantity of luggage attendant upon the circuit it was
found necessary at Wells to put some of the luggage into a
horse box ; the same course was adopted upon the change of
carriages at Highbridge ; the Consequence was that owing
to the confusion at Bristol a large box containing the cir-
cuit papers and the commission was not taken out at
Bristol, but went on with the train. When, therefore, Mr.
Stock, accompanied by the mayor, sheriff, and other offi-
cials and trumpeters, reached the Guildhall, it was found
that there was no commissions present. The officers of
the circuit immediately set to work to discover the lost
parchments by telegraphing to Wales, Highbridge, aid
Swindon, and after some time it was ascertained that the
valuable box had been seized at Swindon, and that it
would bo returned to Bristol by the next train.
lADVERTISEMENT.i—HoIIo way's Pills. These celebrated
pills are especially useful in preventing the ill effects of
luxurious living. They purify the blood, cleanse the sto-
mach, gently stimulate the kidneys, and act as mild ape-
rients. Without some such corrective as Holloway's pills
the festivity of one day often debars us from all enjoyment•
for a week.• A few doses of this purifying medicine set
the foulest stomach right, restrain biliousness, steady the
circulation, give strength to the muscles, and composure to
the brain and nerves. The pills are incapable of doing
mischief to the mast delicate constitution. When the sys-
tem has boon enervated by over indulgence, or exhausted
by mercurial preparations, these pills are excellent restora-
tives, they repel all palm and enrich the blood.
