Fort Amherst Light, at the entrance of St. John's — A Light was first established at this station in 1813, and until the granting of a Legislature to this Island the expenses consequent on its maintenance were defrayed by voluntary contributions ; in 1850 a new House, Lantern and Apparatus were erected. The Light burns at an eleva- tion of 110 feet, is produced by a treble argand burner placed in the focus of an annular lens of the fourth order, and in favourable wea- ther can be seen 12 miles. When Cape Spear is enveloped in fog a heavy piece of ordnance is also discharged at this Fort every hour during day light, to assist vessels in making the harbor. Cape Spear Light — This Light was first exhibited on the 1st September, 1836 ; it is produced by seven argand burners and silr vered reflectors burning at an elevation of 275 feet — ik, revolves, shewing a bright Light every minute, and in favourable weather can be seen 36 miles.

I have to report that the Bonus which may be safely apportion- ed to the Participating Policies is £2 per Cent, per Annnm, to be added to the original Sum Assured of every Participating Policy effected previously to the 1st January, 1858, for each entire year that it had been in existence on the 31st December, 1859, since the last appropriation of Bonus thereon. THE Lli^E FUNDS In hand have progressed to a most gratifying extent in the In- terval since the last valuation. At tlie period of that valua- tion (1854) the Balance in hand — exclusive of Debts on Poli- cies, and after appropriating the sum of £7,819 los. 6d., being one-third of the Profits declared to the Shareholders — was £56,793 Is. 2d. The Balance in hand is now raised to the sum of £207,001 19s, exclusive of an amount of £7,248 2s Id, present Debts on Policies. These amounts have grown in magnitude every year since the last valuation. During the first Ten ychrs the amount added annually averaged less than £7,000. From 1^54 to 1859 (inclusive) the average annuxl addition was upwards of £30,000, while the total sum wai made up of successive amounts of a rapidly increasing ratio, beginning by an item of only £12,014 7s Id in 1855, and ending with a sum of £45,229 7s 2d in 1859, THE INVESTMENTS Have not only been made at a most favoiurable rate of interest, btit no loss from them has been incurred — they are in fact strictly available, and might at any time be realised.
