It was fitting that the author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this oil should Minself 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 che mical 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 me was of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to Its colour, flavour, or chemical properties; and I am satisfied that for medicinal purposes no liner oil can be procured. " With my best wishes for your success, believe me, my dear sir, to be very faithfully yours, (Signed) "ONATHAN PEREIRA. "Finsbury -square, London, April I J O, 1851. " To Dr. de Jongh.'

Head Office-26, ST. ANDREW-SQUARE, EDINBURGH. The Twenty-Third Annual General Meeting of this Society was held at Edinburgh on the 2nd of May, 1754; William Stuart Walker, Esq., of 'lowland, in the chair. •The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unanimously approved of, contained the following particulars: — The number of Policies issued during the year ending the Ist of March ie 620, the sums assured thereby being 282,715/., giving an addition to the income in Annual Premiums of C. 5951. The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the sums assured by which amount to 49,8501, and the bonus additions to 8,4821., making together 68,3321. In comparing these sums with the amounts for the preceding year, they exhibit an Increase of seventeen in the number of new policies, and of about 6,0001. in the sums assured. The increase, though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory, especially when regard is had to the great competition which sow exists in the business of I ife Assurance. The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of last year, and the amount payable nearly 7,0001. less. Keeping in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age of the members of the Society, these are most gratifying circum stances. The Sums remaining Assured amount to 4,234,5981.; The Annual Revenue amounts to 162,0151.; Anti the Accumulated Fund is increased to 839,3541. ** Medicalgeferees paid by the Society.
