This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu • live 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. Po!Hey holders participate in profile after payment of live annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 80th May, lest, 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 460, and the annual income thereon being upwards of 7,50‘11. It also appeared that, except lu 1d49, 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 when Assured.

"My dear Sir—l was very glad to find from you, when I Lad the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was fitting that the Author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this Oil should h mself be the Purveyor of this important medicine. " I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of which you gave me a sample; because I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as the highest authority on the subject. " I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of re sponding to your application. The oil which you gave axe was of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemical properties and lam satisfied that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured.
