REPORT.

The Directors are happy to have It in their power to inform the
Shareholder= that the financial year ending the 30th September,
1850, has furnished the most satisfactory results which they have
yet had to lay before the Shareholders, whether as regards the
amount of new business done, or the extent of losses incurred.
" During the year ending the 30th September, 1850, there have
been issued no fewer than 569 policies for assurances, amounting to
213,4691. 16s I Id., and yielding an annual revenue, on the new po-
licies thus effected, of 9,1631. I3s 7d.
This exceeds the amount of business transacted by this office in
any former year, not only in the number of policies, and the sums
assured by those ',elides, but also in the yearly premiums pa) ably
upon them
" The following table shows the results or the business transacted
in each year since the establishment of the Society :

" It ,s plain from this statement, that in the course of a very fe
,o.ra the Society has acquired a very large amount of busine:

"It is plain from this statement, that in the course of a very few
years the Societe has acquired a very large amount of business,
equalled by • ew of t h e Assurance Companies in the metropolis.
"The Directors wish to impross on the Shareholders the important
fact that this rapid acquisition of business is not owing to any acci-
dental cause, but has taken place uniformly throughout the whole
field of the Society's operations, showing elear4.-
the confidence re-
posed in the Society by the public.
" It is also most gratifying to be able to report that the losses by
deaths during the past year have been loss than in any preceding
year since 1844 ; from which it appears that, with the exception of
the three first years of the Society, when the number of policies in
force was not one-fourth of the present number, the mortality has
been less than in any other.
" The Directors have only further to state, that the Members of
the Board going out of office by rotation are Edward Doubleday,
Esq., and Robert Bentley Todd, M D. and the Auditors also going
out of office by rotation are James Parker Deane, D.C.L., and Mar-
tial Lawrence Welch, Esq., all of whom being eligible offe r them-
selves for re-election.
" The Directors and Auditors retiring from office having been
duly re-elected without opposition, the usual vote of thanks were
given."

posal, aril every other information, will be forwarded, postage free,
