LOANS ON PERSONAL SECURITY.

The system of granting Toms on personal
security, in connection with Life Assurance, has
now become so common that many Of the new
Offices seem almost specially to lay themselves
out for it and such announcements are nearly
the first that catch the eye in many of the pros
pectuses we have preuSed, We make no apollo
gy for quoting the following remarks upon The
money-lrnding system, and what it may lead to-.
We observe, indeed, recently that one, if not
more, Of the Assurance Offices has taken up the
business Of bill dlscouating, and probably will
be more safe than dabbling with patched-up
personal security, as many Offices do. How far
aSSurerS may care to have their funds subjected
to the hazard of bill dScounting is a point for
them to determine, and not US. Here is the
quotation referred to =
at is more especially necessary to guard the
public against the moneylending Companieg.
1t is a weIE-knOwn fact among those convprSant
with these matters that while many of these
Offices would find it impossible to obtain bust
ness without some illpgilimate efforts, then hare
changed Mer Companies from Insurance Offices
into Loan Societies, lending money on securities
which would be refused by all other capitalists,
and ekeing them out by policies Of insurance
in their own Offices. These securities
arc very often, even with Companies who would
be Sorely angry were the facts made known to
the public, nothing more than personal securi-
ties, such as the bond Of the assured or borrow
er, and that of two of his friends, the policy be-
ing taken out for a much larger sum than would
cover the loan. Of course the interest in such
cases is high, and also the prospective interest,
and hence some of the astonishing bonuses civ
en- by some of the new Offices to their small
policy-holderS. But how dangerous is the prin-
ciple What, let me ask, would be the posi-
ton of such an Office if any Ureat crisis ShOuld
arrive, such as that which followed the fnanci-
al measures of I849, when in every quarter con-
fdence was shaken, and credit all but univer-
sally destroyed? And are we never to have
such a season Of distress ?'*
The changes of the last few months have
swept away q great many of these money lend
ing Offices. 1t is to be hoped those that still
exist will speedily set their houses in order, and
carry on the business of Life Assurance with
due regard to those principles which have alrea-
dy stood the test ofexperience, and which alone
seem destined to lead to ultimate sncceSs.-M-

The business of the h~alf-year now reported
upon having had the benefit of the rise in the
prices of colonial produce alluded to in the last
report, as well as of the high rates Of interest
prevailing here during that period, the direc-
tors find themselves on this occasion in a posi-,
ton to again recommend the payment of an tx
ira dividend. They are happy to state that,
according to the latest accounts in their posses
sion, the business at the branches was going on
satisfactorily, but proprietors must bear in mind
that the prices of colonial produce have recedeG
considerably.

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that the facts contained therein
were so very satisfactory that they required no
explanation from him and he could only con-
graduate the proprietors upon the fact that the
directors were able to repeat upon the present
occasion the additional amount of dividend given
at the last meeting. AS regards the business at
the different branches since June, it had been
progressing satisfactorily. He mentioned that
the directors had received a proposal from the
Bank of Jamaica for the transfer of its business,
upon. certain conditions, to the Colonial Bank;
and; the offer having been a very fair one, ne
quotations were entered into, and after a full in
vestigation Of the matter, had agreed to take
over the business, and to pay for it the sum of
10000. He was glad to be in a position to
state that by the last accounts the board re-
eeived the intelligence that the Bank of Jamai-
ca ceased to transact business on Oct. 80, and
that almost all the accounts had been transfer
red to the Colonial Bank The Bank of Jamai-
90 was as old as the Colonial Bank, between
