THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, ESTABLISHED 1825. CONSTITUTED BY SPECIAL ACTS OF PARLIAMENT. ANNUAL REPORT, 1867. THE FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY was held at Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 8th of May, 1867, H. MAXWELL INGLIS, Esq., P.C.S., in the Chair. THE MANAGER submitted to the Meeting- REPORT by the DIRECTORS as to the PROGRESS of the BUSINESS during the Year 1866. The Annual Report on the Books and Accounts by the Auditor of the Company, certifying that he had found the whole Accounts accurately stated and properly vouched. Balance-Sheet of the Company's Affairs, certified by the Auditor and three of the Directors, in accordance with the Acts of Parliament constituting the Company. A General and Comparative Statement explanatory of the Progress of the Business from 1825 to 1866. THE REPORT submitted by the DIRECTORS was shortly as follows :— The Board of Directors have again the pleasure of congratulating the Proprietors of the Company on its continued satisfac- tory progress. On occasion of the last Annual General Meeting in the Spring of 1866, the Directors had the pleasure of reporting the pro- gress and completion of large and important negotiations—namely, the transfer of the business of the MINERVA and VICTORIA OFFICES, and the successful amalgamation with the COLONIAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, all of which brought new connec- tions and varied advantages to the Institution. In May 1866 the satisfactory result of the Quinquennial Investigation into the Company's Affairs, and Division of profits, as at 15th November 1865, was reported, when the Company commenced the work of another lustrum, strengthened by its new and extended connections, supported on a broader basis, and full of confidence in the future, arising from the thorough inves- tigation which its Affairs had undergone with a successful and satisfactory issue. The first year of the new period has been marked, the Directors have pleasure in reporting, by complete success not only as regards the New Business transacted, but what is equally, if not more, important, the thorough and complete retention of the interests and connections of those Companies whose business was transferred to, or amalgamated with the STANDARD. The New Business, however, is perhaps the most tangible exponent of this statement, and the Directors are satisfied to rely on it as the test of their assertion. TlIE following are the Results of the Business for the year under review :— AMOUNT PROPOSED FOR ASSURANCE during the year 15th November, 1865, to 15th November, 1866, XI,439,927 0 4 NUMBER OF PROPOSALS FOR ASSURANCE, 2389 AMOUNT OF ASSURANCES ACCEPTED, XI,190,281 11 2 NUMBER OF ASSURANCES COMPLETED, exclusive of Annuities, 2013 AMOUNT OF ANNUAL PREMIUMS on New Business. X38,918 19 11 AMOUNT OF CLAIMS BY DEATH, exclusive of Bonus Additions, X314,376 3 10 ANNUAL REVENUE, X675,267 6 8 ACCUMULATED FUND, X3,700,005 1 4 These figures represent numerous interests and an important trust, not much fewer than 28,000 persons holding Policies from the Institution. They are also a sure test of the confidence placcd in the Institution by the public and the Directors, impressed with the responsibility which such a trust involves, make it their study to conduct the business on the soundest principles, free from speculation or undue anxiety to make profits. In accordance with these principles, the Directors have confined the Investment of the Company's large Funds to thoroughly reliable securities, preferring for the great bulk of their Investments the Mortgage of land at fair rates of interest to increased returns on Investments of a less certain nature; and in proof of this they request attention to the following Statement, show- ing the Company's Investments as at 15th November, 1866 Mortgages and other Landed Securities, £ 2,535,748 14 6 Government Securities, 86,782 17 2 Loans on the Company's Policies within their Surrender Value, 198,610 2 5 Stocks and Debentures, 218,313 9 6 Bank Balances, Agents' Balances, and Premiums in which Days of Grace are current, 323,675 2 0 Invested abroad in connection with Colonial business, 49 275 17 2 Life Annuities and Reversions purchased 34*403 14 9 Various other Investments 253,195 3 10 13,700,005 1 4 The Directors are satisfied that all interested will approve of this course of procedure. To all other points of Management the attention of the Directors is carefully directed. The records of the Company's tran- sactions have been brought into the most thorough state of efficiency, after giving effect to the transfers and amalgamation which have been carried through—a matter of the greatest importance in connection with transactions of such magnitude • and the endeavour of the Directors in future will be to conduct the Institution in such a manner as to devolop the resources at its command without seeking further extension of its field of action, making it their study to produce as much profit as they can, consistently with liberal dealing, for the advantage of all interested. The REPORT was unanimously adopted. «.* rpHE ELECTION OF NEW DIRECTORS, to supply the places of those who retire by rotation, in terms of the Company's -*■ Acts of Parliament, followed.

BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Monday last, at the Town Hall, before John Davies, Esq., mayor, John Prothero, Esq., and Joseph Joseph, Esqjs. STEALING SLATES. Thomas Price, boatman, appeared to his recognizances, upon the charge of stealing slates from the yard of the South Wales Coal and Lime Company. Mr. Games appeared for the prisoner. Mr. James stated that on the night of Tuesday last, hearing footsteps in his yard in the Watton, he went out and saw the prisoner, who then caught hold of a bucket, and went to the canal for water for the horses, the prisoner's employer having sta- bles in the same yard he however watched him, and in a short time saw him remove some slates from a stock of the same and put them on the edge of the boat; he then went up to him and charged him with the offence prisoner said that he had never taken any before, they were only a few for Ned, meaning a man named Edwards, and that he intended telling witness of them the next day. In reply to their worships prisoner said that he would prefer being summarily dealt with. After a severe reprimand from the bench, the prisoner was sentenced to 14 days hard labor. A NurSANCE.- William Stephens was summoned, charged with removing night soil from a cesspool in the day time, or between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock in the evening and with washing the buckets in a well, situate just above the turnpike gate called Cerrig Cochion gate. Both charges were admitted, and defendant was fined 2s. 6d. in each case and costs 23s.

CHRIST'S COLLEGE, BRECON. On Monday last, the breaking up of the above school for the holidays, and distribution of prizes took place at the College. John Davies, Esq., mayor, occupied the chair there were also present C. A. Wood, Esq., Dr. Lucas, Col. Pearce, K.H., and David Thomas, Esq., and a large number of ladies and gentleman. The following is the report of the examiner Report of the Whitsuntide Examination, June, 1867. To the Governors of Christ's College, Brecknock. ° My Lords and Geiitleiiieii,-I have examined the school generally, both in classics and mathe- matics- the former by papers and viva voce, the latter only by papers-and the lower school also to some extent in history, geography, and French. My principal attention has been directed to the upper school, and especially to the sixth form, the papers of the middle school having been mostly taken off my hands. To speak first of the mathematics. The Euclid paper of the first division (comprising six boys) was very good throughout. The arithmetic and Algebra was of some very good, and most satis- factory. The arithmetic of the lower school seems deserving of special praise, exhibiting the results of thorough and efficient teaching. In the classical work I was particularly pleased with the style of construing in the three upper classes, especially in the sixth form, both on paper andviva voce. The choice of words was good and free, and the vocabu- lary of each of the better boys different from that of the others. Generally in the school I saw little traces of the very common fault of learninu,- the translation by heart and applying the right English to the wrong Latin or Greek-this implies a correct knowledge of an amount of Greek and Latin liter- ature, quite equal to the average of larger English schools. The competition for the prizes given for know- ledge of the Acts of the Apostles and the Antigone was good. In the matter of composition, the Greek prose of the three upper classes was worthy of commen- dation, particularly of the fifth, who I may remark, shewed a knowledge of Greek accentuation deci- dedly above the average. The Latin prose of the 'Sixth shewed an appreciation of style and an effort in the right direction, though not so successful as the Greek prose; their Elegiacs—excepting one case—seemed hardly on a par with. the rest of their work, }1" Tiro English history and geography paper -rlone by the lower school for the Mayor's prize, was very correct and painstaking. In concert with the Head Master, I beg to re- commend the distribution of the prizes amongst the boys whose names are under-written. I have the honor to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, f-r-.r Yours very obediently, JOHN WORDSWORTH, B.A., Probationary Fellow and Lecturer of Brasenose College. LIST OF PRIZES.

David Thomas, Esq., proposed, and the Mayor seconded, a vote of thanks to the Rev. J. D. and Mrs. Williams. We are glad to state that the Governors have recommended Sir J. R. Bailey, Bare., to the Eccle- siastical Commissioners, to supply the vacancy occurred by the death of Sir Thomas Phillips.

CORONER'S INQUEST. -^n i^cjiiest was held at the County Gaol, in this town, 6OTuesday last, before James Williams, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, Mr. Rees Price, Llanfaes, foreman, on the body of Joshua St aged 26 years. The jury having viewed the body; :,{iéard the following evidence Mr. John Lazenby deposed that he was the governor of the gaol; the deceased was committed to that gaol at the July Quarter Sessions of 1866, for stealing a pony at Bwlch; he was a weakly sort of a person, and was never put to the crank pump in consequence deceased stated first of all that he was a native of DerbYt then he said that he was native of Spilsby, and afterwards said that he was a native of Norfolk the prisoner died on Monday last, the 17rh inst. he had every nourish- ment he required after it was ordered by the doctor the doctor recommended him some portor; I he also had some tea; when a prisoner is in such a bad state as to be considered by the doctor to be ¡ beyond recovery, they can be released by the Secretary of State, provided that they have got friends to receive them; if the deceased was allowed to go at large, he had nowhere to go only to the union, and he was better off in the gaol than he would be in the workhouse, and the deceased was aware of that, as he had been nearly all his lifetime either in prison or in a workhouse accor- ding to his own statements he had been previously sentenced to four years penal servitude, but was let off with a ticket-of-leave he was afterwards sentenced to four years again, and had to serve the full term, so that he had been in prisons or unions all his lifetime. Doctor North and Mr. Gallaway gave similar testimony, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes."

BOARD OF HEALTH AND TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. The above meetings were held at the Council Chambers, in the Town Hall, on Tuesday last, when the following members were present :John Davies, Esq., mayor, in the chair. Alderman-D. Thomas, Esq. Councillors-Dr. Lucas, Messrs. J. Morris, John Griffiths, and Alfred A. Walton. S. B. Evans, Esq., town clerk. The Mayor introduced the subject of the postal and railway arrangements, and said that Mr. Tho- mas (who had not yet entered the room) had a pro- position to bring before them at the suggestion of Mr. Alexander Wood. Mr. Wood, a Vice-Chair-1 man of the Great Western Railway^ had consider- able influence at Paddington, and anything Mr. Wood could do for the town of Brecon, as to their postal arrangements particularly, he said he would be glad to do. His (the Mayor's) opinion as to the early arrival of their mails, was that they were pretty well off. Dr. Lucas Very well off! The Mayor said that he should like to see the time for despatching the London mail bags ex- tended, say to five or half-past. It would be an advantage. Dr. Lucas said that they could post at present without an extra. stamp up to quarter past four. The Mayor said that they had the Hereford train leaving at 5-30 if they got up to five o'clock for posting it would be an advantage. They were more limited as to their postal arrangements than any town in the Principality at Cardiff and Swansea they had up to a much later hour at Carmarthen the London letters were delivered an hour earlier. They were indebted to the Mid- Wales Railway for the recent extension of time for despatch up to five o'clock. Mr. Griffiths stated that after the departure of the Mid-Wales train at five o'clock he had sent letters by the guard of the 5-30 Hereford train, who upon his arrival there posted them in time for the London mail. He thought that the 5-30 He- reford train would give them better postal commu- nitation to London and the West of England, by means of the train leaving Hereford for Gloster at a quarter to nine o'clock. Mr. Morris said that it would injure their com- munication with Crickhowell and other places. Mr. Griffiiths stated that he was told. about 12 months ago that arrangements could be made for having the mail bags forwarded by the early goods train which left Hereford about five or half-past, and arrive here about quarter-past seven. The Mayor said Mr. Wood was anxious to give them a day mail which, leaving Brecon, at half- past six, would catch the first train leaving Here- ford, and arrive in London at half-past two; The Town Clerk observed that that was very important, as their letters would then be delivered in London in time for business. The Mayor said that he was glad that Mr. Wood was anxious to serve their interests. He (the Mayor) thought they were rather behind hand with their mail carts running on their roads. He con- sidered better communication with Bristol and the West of England of great importance. Mr. Griffiths observed that Gloucester was a great postal centre between the north and south, and by getting communication with Hereford they would be going as direct as possible. Mr. Alderman Thomas, who had then entered the room, explained Mr. Wood's view at length, and the advantage that an earlier train would give to the inhabitants of Brecon, whereby they could proceed to London without any delay at Hereford or elsewhere. As to postal arrangements perhaps they ought not to ask at once—there may be a difficulty as to obtaining the same now. He con- sidered it me wise and prudent that they should apply to get their railway arrangements first, than that they should ask for both at once. It was resolved that the Council should on the following morning wait upon Mr. Henshaw and the directors of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway, and express their view upon the subject. The Town Clerk suggested that an early day should be appointed for the Waterworks Commit- tee to draw up a report of their proceedings to the Board. The name -of Dr. Lucas was added to the com- mittee list, and Wednesday next, the 26th inst. appointed for a meeting. Mr. Walton said that the proper course would be for the Engineer first to furnish the committee with a proper report, and for the committee to con- sider the same preparatory to drawing their own report. Dr. Lucas handed to the Town Clerk the follow- ing letter, which was read WATERWORKS. Bulwark, Brecon, June 11th, 1867. Dear Sir,I observe by the reports of the Local Board of Health Meeting of last Monday, in the local newspapers, that I was censured for not fur- nishing a report on the contractor's claim for extras, according to instructions. Doubtless you were not aware that a report had been sent to the Town Clerk and laid before the Waterworks Committee on the 20th May last, on this subject, when you attended the meeting on Monday. I now enclose you a copy of that report, and I feel quite sure that your desire not to censure unjustly, will induce you at the next meeting of the Board to set this matter right with the public. With regard to the financial information you desire, I have never seen the account, but am in- duced to think that they are kept in the Town Clerk's office. I have much pleasure in stating that the town will be supplied with water from the new works before the end of this month, when I trust that some of the dissatisfaction complained of will be removed. I am, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, ISAAC DAVIES. Prestwood Lucas, Esq., M.D. The meeting then adjourned until Monday, the 1st of July.

MINING ENGINEERS.—We are pleased to an- nounce that Mr. W. Roger Lewis, son of Mr. Wm. Lewis, builder, of this town, ranks as one of the successful candidates in the examination of Mining Engineers.
