I " MPERIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY , 1 , Old Broad-street , London . Instituted 1820 . " WlI / IilAM R . ROBINSON , Esq ., Chairman . HEDTRY DAVIDSON , Esq ., Deputy-Chairman . The Scale of Premiums adopted by this Office will be found Of a very moderate character , but at the 6 ame time quite adequate to the risk incurred . Fonr-AKhs , or 80 per cent , of the Profits , are assigned to Policies every fifth year , and may be applied to increase the sum insured , to an immediate payment in cash , or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future premiums . One-third of the Premium on Insurances of jESOO and upwards , for the whole term , of life , may remain as a debt upon the Policyi to be paid off at convenience ; or the Directors will lendsums of £ 50 and upwards , on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life , when they have acquired an adequate value . Security . —Those who efleet Insurances with this Company are protected by its Subscribed Capital of . £ 750 , 000 , of which nearly JE 140 . 000 is invested , from the risk incurred by members of Mutual Societies . The satisfactory financial condition of the Company , exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital , will be seen by the following statement : — At the close of the last Financial Year the sums Assured , including Bonus added , amounted to . £ 2 , 500 , 000 The Premium Fund to more than eoo . ooo And the Annual Income from the same source , to 109 , 000 Insurances , without participation in Profits , may be effected at reduced rates .

KICHAKD HARTLEY KENNEDY , Esq ., Alderman , Deputy-Chairman . This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance . The funds are accumulated for the exclusive benefit of the Policy-holders , under their own immediate superintendence and control . The Profits are divided annually , and applied in reduction of the current Premiums . Policy-holders participate in Profits after payment of five annual Premiums . The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30 th May , 1855 , when a Report of the business for the last year was presented , exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory progress . It appeared that during the two last years , 1853 and 1854 , between 800 and 900 new Assurances had been effected , producing- an increase of Premium income amounting . to £ 14 , 000 per annum . It also appeared that , notwithstanding the extraordinary mortality which prevailed during the last year , in consequence of the visitation of the Cholera , it had not been found necessary to reduce , in the slightest , the allowance of 31 J per cent , previously awarded to the Policy-holders . Credit is allowed for half the Annual Pi emiums for the first five years . A . R . lit TINE , Managing Director . 14 , "Waterloo place , London .
