The ACCUMULATED FUNDS amount to £2,236,518, and are immediately available to meet any 1 ■ unusual calamity. The ANNUAL INCOME exceeds £1.000,000. The Agent in announcing that he continues to receive orders for Assurances, both on Life and every description of property, begs to draw attention to the vast ■ .resources of the Company, and the standing which it takes among the large Insurance Establish ments of the British Empire. Unaided by amalgama tion with any other Company its success, with one exception, is unprecedented in the history of In surance Societies, and enables it to rank with the most eligible offices now in existence with respect to the advantages offered to the public. IN THE FIRE BRANCH The ' rates of premium are equally low with those of any Company doing business in the Colony, and the Company will ev«r distinguish itself by promptness and liberality in the settlement of losses. THE LIFE BRANCH Offers the Guarantee of an ample Capital, together with its accumulated funds, exemption of the Assured from liability of partnership to which Policy-holders ,in Mutual Offices are subject, Moderate Premiums, Division of Profits every five years, three-fourths of which are appropriated to participating Policies. At the last distribution the surplus of assets over lia bilities was £249,956, and enabled the Directors to de ' clare. a REVERSIONARY BONUS of £7 10s per cent. In cases of removal of residence renewal premiums will be received, and claims settled, by any of the Company's agents throughout the world.
