Irvine , Esq . Archibald Spens , Esq . John Inglis Jerdein , Esq . Frederick Valiant , Esq . James John Kinloch , Esq . Rev . F . W . J . "Vickery . Henry Lawson , Esq . 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 of May , 1855 , when a Report of the business for the last year was presented , exhibiting a statement of most satisJactory 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 Z- 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 previously awarded to the Policy-holders . The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report , and resolved unanimously that a Reduction of 31 . J i'er Cent , should be made in the current year ' s Premium payahle by all Policy-holders now entitled to participate in the Profits-Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years .

      1855 .- JOYCE'S PATENT WATERPROOF ANTICORROSIVE PERCUSSION CAPS . F JOYCE has much pleasure in submitting to the notice of Sportsmen a greatly Improved Percussion Cap , for which a patent was granted on the 3 rd of April last , and which can be warranted as tlie best Primer for Detonating Guns ever manufactured , whether for the AEHi " , . Navy , or the Fiju . i > . The principle on which these Caps are made differs materially from any hitherto adopted ; iu lieu of Metallic Foils or Linings , as they are termed , and other substances of an equally injudicious character , which cannot be consumed without ihe introduction of the most corroding materials , these Patent Caps have their detonating com position covered with a highly waterproof substance , burning with as much facility as the powder itbelf , and in no degree detracting from that certainty and sharpness of lire , as well as anticorrosive property , so necessary for the convenience and comfort of those who use them . JOYCE'S PATENT CAPS are equally certain in all weather , wet or dry , and i f-llriuly pressed down on the nipples , will close the apertures and render the powder in the barrels air-tight , keeping it quitodry- Sportsmen arc recommended tore-load as soon as possible in misty and wot weather , otherwise the moisture deposited inside the barrel damps the charge and occasions hang-fires . —Manufacturer of Wire Cabtkidoes and Waddings of every description .
