Henry Lawson, Esq. Rev. F. W. J. Vickery. This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu sive 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 pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30th May, 1854, 'when a Report of the business for the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro. gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex. ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of policies issued being more than 480, and the annual income thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their esti mated amount. The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 314 per cent. should be made in the current year's premium payable by all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the profits. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years. The following Table exemplifies the effect of the present re duction : Age whoa Amount. Assured. Assured.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—Where is Futvoye's ? This having been a subject of much inquiry induces Messrs. FUTVOYE and CO. to acquaintthe Nobility and Gentry that they have not any Establishment in the Crystal Palace, and the reason is, that they supplied so many of the Exhibitors at the Exhibition of 1891, as sell as at those of Dublin and New York. It must, therefore, be obvious to all that were they to become Exhibitors it would be opposing some of their largest consumers. Many of their Patents, Registered Articles, and other manufactures, may be obtained of the Retailers at the Crystal Palace, or at Messrs. Futvoye and Co.'s Manufactory and Wholesale Warehouse, 154, Regent -street ; 8, 11, and 12, Beak street; 28 and 29, Silver-street; and 31, Rua de Rivoli, Paris. - SATURDAY, • , 41 , ; 622 IN.
