P ROGRESS of the UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION . Chief Offices . •—Unity-buildings , 8 and 10 , Cannon-st ,, City . West Mrul Ojjices : —1 . New Coventry-street , Leiceater-sq . Iti 8 with feelings of peculiar satisfaction the DIRECTORS of the UNITY GENEKAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION" submit the following statements respecting its progress and business during the year 1855 , commencing 1 st Jaauary , and ending 3 lst December last . It -will be observed the amount of new business transacted during that period produces annual premiums exceeding £ 12 , 390 . This xs a very large result indeed , judged by the average amount of new business effected ty other life offices , which varies from 363 , 000 to ^ £ ?> , ooo 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 aCmomi t of new business it secures . No other test is valuable or even useful for such purpose . Unless a . life office continues year after year to obtain a Jarge new business , it must rapidly decline and eventually cease to exist . STATEMENT of New Life Business of the UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION , from 1 st January , 1855 . to 3 lst December , 1855 : — PropS . Business Completed .

The amount assured thereby is .. . £ 1 , 1654 , 967 G . The gross annual income from Premiums , including that of the TRAFALGAR LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION , now merged into the UNITY" GENERAL , is .. .. . £ 37 . 497 To have achieved such a solid position in eo short a period , find thus be enabled to command such extensive funds , ia a success without precedent . It is attributable to many favourable circumstances . The close connexion , of the UNITY GGNERAI , with its powerful and kindred institution , the UNI I'Y FIKE . has tended in many ways to advauce its career In like manner the UNITY GENJ 5 RAL has benefited the UNITY KIRE , whilst the third Unity Association , vlx ., the UNITY BANK , will bo of considerable service to the others . All tlnree Institutions , viz , the UNITYiFIltK , the UNI I'Y GENERAL , and the UNITY BANK , although perfuutlv separate as regards capital , liabilities , munufrement , fc 0 , will be conducted in the same buildings , nnd thus , while thoy feed each other with business , so will they promote economy , power , and an extension of thfilr connexions .
