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. UThe Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 90th 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 1053 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 7,5001. 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 when Assured.

GEORGE'S GALLERY, Hyde-park-corner, Piccadilly, an OHIENTAIp MUSEUM, or a Grand Exhibition of Turkish Curiosities, con sisting of the richest and most varied costumes, both ancient and modern, displayed on wax figures, life size, executed in the finest style, and illustrative of not only the abolished institution of the far-fumed Janissaries, the renowned militia of the Turkish Empire, with their ancient uniform and armour, but also of the various modes of the present day, with numerous agricultural and mechanical implements of the Osmanlis. The likenesses are well characterised, and the materials of the costumes selected from the richest Oriental fabrics, with the strictest adaptation to the habits and castes of the people which they are designed to represent. No expense or labour has been spared to render this Exhibl tion worthy of the attention and patronage of the British public, and we have beep assured by per,ons of the greatest distinction that a more accurate and satisfactory impression of the true Orientalltaste and style, both of former times as well as of the pre sent day, may be obtained by an hour passed in this Museum, than is usually gained by many miles of travel. The most implicit truthfulness has been maintained in all the arrange. ments; and many items which would be curious, even to the native inhabitants of Stamboul, are here given to the world in all their primitive originality. Even the interior of the harem, with its beautiful and gracefully-attired inmates, is unveiled to the longing glances of the curious—a scene unhoped fur and im possible to the traveller. The gorgeous costumes of bygone days, the (lays of the turbaned and robed Osmanli, remembered only in the past, are now revived and displayed in all their natural and exquisite beauty. Apart from all intrinsic merit, there is no doubt that the great sympathy now felt by the British public for the Turk:sh nation will ensure the success of this most interesting and truly unique Turkish Exhibition. The undersigned being the sole managers of this Oriental Museum, all matters relating to the Exhibition will be trans acted by them, and all communications must be addressed to them conjointly. C.
