It will be ou- ; served the amount of new business transacted , during that period produces annual premiums exceeding £ 12 . 390 . This is a very large result indeed , judged by the average amount of sew business effected by other life offices , which varies from £ 3 , 00 > to JEs , 000 per annum . There is but one sure test by which the progress and soundness of a life assurance institution can be judged practically < —viz ., the amount of new busine > s it secures . No other teat is valuable or even useful for such purpose . Unless a life office continues year after year to obtain a large new business , it must rapidly decline and eventually cease to exist .

Tlie subscribed capital is .. .. .. ^ 309 , 308 ' 3 . The Daid-up capital is ,. ... .. £ 77 334 4 . The numberof Policies issued is .. 3 . 413 5 . The amount assured thereby is .. £ l , 162 , 967 6 . The gross annual income from Premiums , including that of the TKA » FALGAR LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION , now merged into the UNITY GENERAL , is .. .. £ 37 497 To have achieved such a solid position in so short a period ) and thus he enabled to command suc'h extensive funds , ia a success without precedent . It is attributable to many favourable circumstances . The close connexion of the UNITY GENERAL , with Us powerful and kindred insti tution , the UNIiy TIRE , has tended in many ways to ad vance its career . In like manner the UNITY GENERAL has benefited the UNITY FIRE ,- whilst the third Unity Association , viz ., the UNITY BANK , will be of considerable service to the others . All three Institutions , viz . the UNITYi FIRE , the UNITY GENERAL , snd the UNITY BANK , although perfectly separate as regnrua capital , liabilities , management , &o . will be conducted in the aatno buildings , and thus , while they feed ench other with busi ness , so will they promqte economy , power , and an extension 01 their connexions . THE UNITY BANK . All tho necessary capital for the UNITY BANK , amounting to jE 300 , 000 , has been subscribed , for . whereof £ 1 fto . ooo is paid up and invested . Nor bus the capital stock been hurriedly allotted to persons for speculative purposes . The Directors have exercised the gr « ntest enro in this moat important panionlfir , and it is very satisfactory to know the Shares are all held by bona fide Shareholders in very small numbers This fnct is illustrated by tlie circumstance that up to the present period there nro nenrly GOO highly reopeotnble bharehpldors , whose mimes and addresses will shortly » o published , together with an explanation of the terms ' and principles on which tho bualncaa of the UNITY BANK W » H be conducted .
