In submitting their Annual Report to yotrr consuleratttm , the Board are enabled again to present a statement showing a higHy satisfactory advance in the business of the C Wlkst Annual Meeting it was seen that the progress of the Company had been greater in that than in any previous ye ^?; and it is gratifying to observe that tta . new business of 1854 has again exceeded that of the previous vw ; white the business of the current year exceeds that pf ? hT £ orrespondins months of 1854 . This large and steadily nrarressiveamount of business has been obtained , uotwith-MdiiiR the obstacles to the extension of Life Assurance , arE ? from the pressure of a war taxation bearing heavily uShem ^ ns o ? all classes of the community While the TCemhimffof the new business of 1854 exceed those of 1858 , the expenses have been less . At the dose of the year embraced in the accounts now mtesented the revenue of the Company was a little under , Stt now considerably exceeds , 20 , 000 * . per annum . At the last Annual Meeting a reduction of 2 o per cent was made upon the premiums of all participating policies of five years ' standing , and it is recommended that the same rale of reduction shall foe continued , which -will embrace all the participating policies on which five annual premiums have been paid prior to this date . The claims of last year have been greater , as was to nftve been expected , than in the preceding year , but considerably under what the expectancy upon which the calculations of the Office « re fdunded would have warranted us to antici-( Jreat aa the success of this Association has hitherto been , the Directors would again remind the Members that their own interests as well as the general benefit of the community may be gre *« y promoted by the exercise of their ifcfiividurf-mflfcenc * .

f ~^ EN 17 TNE COCOA . —Cocoa has been desig-\ JT nated by Physicians of eminence as one of the richest productions of the vegetable kingdom , and , when properly prepared , is justly celebrated for its peculiarly invalnable nutritive properties . So keen , however , has been the avidity to render this article a lucrative manufacture , and so strenuous the competitive efforts thereby excited , that the most flagrant adulterations have been resorted to , with the sole aim of lowness of price . The evils with which so baneful a system is fraught are strikingly manifest to the medical profession , who , highly esteeming Cocoa ( in its PTJK . E state ) as an article of diet , frequently prescribe and recommend it to invalids as a remedial agent in promoting health . The results are , however , too often rendered nugatory by the impurity of the article supplied . The magnitude of our legitimate business aa Tea Dealers necessarily precludes our devoting a strict and essential supervision to the manufacture of Cocoa ; we have therefore completed arrangements with the highly respectable firm of Messrs . HENRY THORNE and CO ., Leeds , whoso many years' successful experience in the preparation of this article , and the celebrity they have thereby acquired , together with their uncompromising determination to adhere to tho principle they originally adopted , viz ., to manufacture only from tho choicest Nuts , and to rigidly eschew adulteration in any shape whatever , warrant us in recommending their "GENUINE TRINIDAD COCOA" to our numerous Friends , to tho Medical Profession , and to tho Public .
