Ho be lieved they wero now doing as large, If not tho largest, business done by any colonial insurance company in the Southern Hemisphere. The loss account was above the average, but after tnaking very ample provision for every known crusalty with tho sum of £16,400, they wero atill ablo to carry forward tho respectable balance of £32,000. The ex penses wero 5 per cent, below the averago for five years, although considerable out lay had boon incurred in tho estab lishment of new centres of operations. In their assets there was a consideaable in crease in landed property, while tho Direc tors were acquiring freeholds in the very best positions in tho large contres of population where they aro doing business. They had a large amount of money in the banks at command, and wore thus making provision for any extraordinary demands. Of the 25,000 new issue shares offered to shareholders, 13,000 had been subscribed for, and the premium on same placed to reserve, which with £187 10s from profit and loss account, rounds the reserve off £100,000. Immediately after tho issue of theso shares, n stringency in tho money market disinclined many from taking them up, but tho amonnt taken was quite suffi cient for present requirements, and from the advance mado by tho company this year, the directors feel no doubt that they will bo ablo to plrcj the balance at tho reserve, and in fact thoy were now corresponding with parties in the father colonies for their disposal. It was tho in tention of the directors at an early date to convene an extraordinary meet ing of shareholders to alter Rule 91 by omitting the words "not exceeding ten pounds per centum per annum," thereby enabling tho directors, if tho business per mitted it, to equalise the interim dividend. The steady increase of busiaess ho attri buted to tho character and ability of the goneral manager nnd staff, There were now 13 branches and 40 agencies in operation, besides the sub-agencies.— Mr Joseph Howard briefly seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to.—ln answer to a question, the Char nan said on tho whole tho business in New Zea land had not been so proficable as in other places. Invercargill, for instance, had been decidedly warm. Directors. —On themotionof Mr Hughes, seconded by Mr Lamb, Messrs Howard and A. Buckland were re-elected Directors.—A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and Directors, and Messrs Daldy and Barstow responded. Auditors. —On the motion of Mr Elkin, seconded by Mr Clark, Messrs J. Batger and T. L. White wero selected auditors. Thanks. — A vote of thanks on Mr Buchanan's motion was passed to the general manger, local manager, agents, and staff.—Mr Johnston responded, thauking tho shareholders, and the meeting terminated.

Sworn Testimony.

From one of the leading Wholesale Houses In

Pitt-streot.

" Mullons-strect, Balmain, Sydney, August 9, 1883 —To tho Publishers "Sydney Morning Horald "—Dear Sirs,—l f sol it incumbent on my part to inform you of the great bonoflt I havo recoived from tho uso of St. Jacobs Oil. Some three years ago I injured my left leg and knee to that extent I thought I had become a permanent cripple. My knee-cap was twice its natural sine, and my leg was so contracted and shortened that I could not walk without considerable pain and inconvenienco. During that time I had tried remedies innumerable, but without receiving tho slightest benefit until I KttTO St. Jacobs Oil a trial, and, much to my delight and astonish ment, I began to got better, and beforo the con tents of the bottle wero half used, both my leg and knee assumed their normal condition, and to-day I am entirely free from pain, and can walk as woll as ever I did in my life. I heartily recommend St. Jacobs Oil to any ono suffering from pain, and feel satisfied it has no equal for the cure of chronic and contracted limbs.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours faithfully, (.. _-. ConEN."

HE ADVISES HIS PERSONAL FRIENDS.

" Glen View. Darlinghurst, August '7, 18<3. — Messrs Publishers' Sydney Mail. — Dear Sirs,—lt gives mo great pleasure to say in too most unqualified manner that I havo rpunu »t. Jacobs Oil the best preparation for Rheumat ism, Gout, and other pains, that I have used or known. A member of my family was suflering from a sovoro attack of rheumatic gout, both in the hands and feet. The pain was most oxcru ciating. I suggested her using St. Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to say tho result was of a most satisfactory character. After one or two applications the pain entirely left, and UP to the nrosent have had no return of the trouble. I look on St. Jacobs Oil as a universal panacea for all kinds of aches and pains. I have advised many of my personal friends to givo it a trial, and"nave heard from them that nothing thoy had ever used did them so much good. It is, without doubt, the only Household Remedy of modern times, and I shall always keep a bottle wiPth.nr_ach.-I remain, dear Sirs yours faith ftillyJ- n. Dhewett."
