rrll E FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING of the mem-
bers-a- of this Institution was held oiktiie 16th of February
last, within the Waterloo-rooms, t/
_

ALEXANDER JAMIESON, Esq., Mutter of the Merchant
Company, in the Chair.

The Report by the DireciOrs contained the following state-
ments :

The progress of the Institution in the past year has been
most gratifying in all respects, and the Directors have much
satisfaction in now laying the result of their proceedings be-
fore the Contributors.
" During the twelve months no less than 306 new Policies
have been opened, being an increase of 104 upon the Polices
01 1839, and of 28 upon those of 1840. The sum assured by
these new Policies (independently of Annuities) is £140,141,
and the Annual Premiums payable on them amount to £3699-
" The mortality during last year has been unprecedentedly-
low, and it has occurred among the smaller class of Policies.
Of the whole number of members assured only three have
died, the sums in whose policies amount to £550. The ex-
perience of the Institution in this respect has been through-
out extremely favourable, only nine deaths having occurred
since the commencement, being just two-fifths of what is
calculated on and provided for by the Tables on which its
premiums are founded. According to the Northampton
Table, on which the Rates of the older offices proceed, in-
stead of nine, no less than thirty-three deaths might have
been expected.
" In the Annuity department of the business one death
has occurred in the year, whereby a sum of £378, which had
recently been sunk, has fallen in. If this annuity is taken
into view, the whole sums payable on lapsed policies in the
last twelve months amount to no more than £172.

" While such has been the prosperity of the Institution,
the Contributors will bear in mind that the year just closed
has been one of great depression in almost every branch of
business. Circumstances have thus been most unpropitious
for the extension of Life Assurance; and this, the Directors
believe, has been pretty generally experienced by Assurance
Companies, both in the decrease of new transactions, and its
the surrender of existing policies. There is no doubt that
this unfavourable state of matters must also have retarded
the progress of this institution but still the gratifying fact
remains, that the business of the past, considerably exceeds
that of any previous year."
The following gentlemen were unanimously appointed
Directors in room of the three who retire by rotation :
JoHN CADELL, Esq, of Tranant.
ROBERT HUNTER, Esq. Advocate, Sheriff of Bute.
CHARLES LAWSON, Esq. Seedsman.
