This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working several valuable Copper Mines, situated north of Port Augusta, in the colony of South Australia. The property comprises the " Yudanamutana," " Wh ea l Gleeson," " Martichudana Mines," and seven surrounding mineral sections (forming one comact block of 800 acres ) ; also the "Wheal Blinman Mine," constituting in all 880 acres, in 11 sections of 80 acres each, granted in Leases by th e Colonial Government, under dates of August, September, and November, 1861, at a rental of 10s. per acre per annum for fourt.- en years, with a right of renewal for other fourteen years, upon payment of a fine, to be fixed by the Crown, of not less than £l, and not more than £2O per acre. The valuable character of these Mines is established by men of practical mining experience, whose testimony on oath, before a Committee of the House of Assembly at Ade laide, is subjoined, exhibiting undoubted evidence of the amazing resources of the Yudammutana property, while practically this evidence is corroborated by the fact that about 75 tons of ore, valued at about £2,250, were raised and carted in ten days by nine men, and shipped for Lon don. Large quantities of rich ore can be promptly pro cured by mere quarrying, rendering it of course compara tively inexpensive in raising. The distance of the nearest Mine from Port Augusta is not more than 120 miles, while the farthest is about 65 be yond, with excellent roads. The Port Augusta Tramway Company, moreover, which is now in course of initiation, under most favourable terms from the Government, will speedily give increased facilities of transmission from and to this district. The purchase of these several Mineral Properties, in cluding all ores at surface, has been made on the following equitable terms, without any restrictive rights or roy a lti es , namely £25,000 in cash, and 15,000 paid-up shares, on as signment of the property, none of these shares being trans ferable till six months after the date of the issue. The Capital of the Company is ample for the adoption of vigorous operations at the various Mines, and will leave a large amount in hand as a reserve fund, while, from the profitable results which will accrue, early dividends may be reasonably expected. All charges for promotion, advertisements, Brokers' com mission, besides all preliminary, legal, and other expenses, up to and including the costs and fees of registration of the Company, have been defined and agreed for at 3 per cent. upon the nominal Capital of the Company. Applications for Shares may be made to the Bankers or Brokers in the annexed form • but no applicatio n f or l ess than five Shares, or a multiple of five, will be considered, nor unless a deposit of £1 on each Share applied for is pre viously paid to the Bonkers of the Company. To render the allotment as equitable as practicable, the Shares will be appropriated in full, in the order of appli cation, according to the Bankers' book. and the list closed as soon as the required number of Shares is subscribed ; but no allotment above 1,000 shares will be made to any applicant. A Select Committee of the South Australian House of Assembly was appointed in June, 1860, to take evidence on the Mineral character of the Northern District of the Colony. The examination of the following practical Mining wit nesses, by the Chairman, on the Yudanamutana properties is as follows : Mr. Ward's Evidence.—Could you give a rough state ment of what Copper there might be lying in the north ready for cartage T—l could not say. There is an immense mass of Copper lying on the surface at Yudanamutana. Mr. Alfred Fiost's Evidence.—Does the ore crop out on the surface, at any places y ou h ave seen, to any large extent ?—Yes ; atYudanamutana there is an immense lode. There are two sections, and in the northern section are four lodes running north and south, and one east and west; and in the southern section there is one lode—a very heavy body of green carbonate—varying from 6 inches to 27 feet thick. When you spoke of a lode 27 feet wide, is that solid ore, or rock and ore mixed P—That is all Copper • it stands about three feet out of the ground, as if the rain had washed the surface away and left it standing. At the eastern side of the lode it is very solid. Is the quality of it good ?—I have had some of it assayed, and it averaged 50 per cent. Is it likely, do you think, that a large quantity of ore would be raised ?—Well, Mr. Giles was with me, and he said he thought there was very nearly 1,000 tons of Copper on the surface. Mr. Giles's Evidence.—The quality of the ore you have seen—is it generally good P—ln some instances remarkably good ; at Yudanamutana the per tentage is very high. Mr. Alford's Evidence.—Near Yudanamutana, f think, there is plenty of water for all the year. As far as going to Wheal Blinman is concerned, I believe you can ride up in the mail cart to within 28 miles of the Wheal Blinman, over a very good road. In fact if you keep the Northern road, it is like going over plains, and occasionally winding round the spurs of hills. In addition to this evidence, the reports of several min ing gentlemen A re annexed, namely : Mr. Giles.—" The hill, where the great mass of Copper is cropping out, forms the Southern or Yudanamutana section. On the Northern section (Wheal Gleeson) are five distinct lodes, four running parallel to each other, north and south, and one cross course east and west ; the ore is red oxide (Ruby Ore) at least 60 per cent." " The Yudan,mutana Creek divides the two sections ; on rising the hill from the Creek going southerly, a great deal of Copper is on the surface ; near the top it is cropping out in great blocks, and the summit is crowned with an enormous mass of green carbonate in detached blocks of many tons weight each; large quantities of ore require only to be broken up to be fit for cartage and shipment." Mr. E. James.—" The lode runs north and south ; it is 12 feet wide, composed of every sort of rich ore. Some, I think, will make a produce of 70 per cent. ; it is the richest place I ever saw—the best, I think, that has ever been dis covered north of Adelaide." Mr. J. Mole.—" I have just come from the Yudanamu tana Mines; it is the best place I have seen at the north— the lode being,very large, and cropping three or four feet of the ground, going down almost perpendicularly. There is an immense quantity of ore, showing, at surface, of a rich quality." James Giles.—" Wheal Blinman.—l opened the ground on the course of the lode and ascertained the width of the same to be six feet, two feet of which was solid dark grey ore. The lode is well defined, with a rich red gossan back, and the country soft. I believe that it will prove one of the richest Mines in South Australia; the distance from Port Augusta (about 125 miles) not being a serious disadvantage, as the road to that place is excellent." Captain J. B. Pascoe states, in letters dated Nuccaleena, Sept. 19th and Oct. 17th, 1861 : " Captain James and men arrived here from the Yuda namutana Mine on Saturday last, having loaded 26 drays with first-class ore in ten days, with seven men, himself, and horse driver ; never such a thing done in mining be iln havethat examinedmine than the ih fore, and they can d o it aga i n a t any t i me. " allY u thedan ammi mines i nalaytheesreeen in is more ore north. " I could raise 10,000 tone of rich ore for £15,000." It may be here mentioned that the well-known Burra Burnt, Kapunda, and other rich mines are north of Ade laide, yet the foregoing reports express the conviction that the Yudanamutana Mines are the best ever discovered north of Adelaide.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to assure you that her Majesty is persuaded that you will deeply participate in the affliction by which her Majesty has been overwhelmed by the calamitous, untimely, and irreparable loss of her beloved Consort, who has been her comfort and support. It has been, however, soothing to her Majesty, while suffering most acutely under this awful dis pensation of Providence, to receive from all classes of her subjects the most cordial assurances of their sympathy with her sorrow, as well as of their al,. preciition of the noble character of him the great ness of whose loss to her Majesty and to the nation is so justly and so universally felt and lamented. We are commanded by her Majesty to assure you that she recurs with confidence to your assistance and advice. Her Majesty's relations with all the European Powers continue to be friendly and satisfactory ; and her Majesty trusts there is no reason to appre hend any disturbance of the Peace of Europe. A question of great importance, and which might have led to very serious consequences, arose be tween her Majesty and the Government of the United States of North America, owing to the seizure and forcible removal of four passengers from on board a British mail-packet by the commander of a ship of war of the United States; but that question has been satisfactorily settled by the resto ration of the passengers to British protection, and by the disavowal by the United States Govern ment of the act of violence committed by their naval officer. The friendly relations between her Majesty and the President of the United States have therefore remained unimpaired. Her Majesty warmly appreciates the loyalty and patriotic spirit which have been manifested on this occasion by her North American subjects. The wrongs committed by various parties and by successive Governments in Mexico upon fo reigners resident within the Mexican territory, and for which no satisfactory redress could be obtained, have led to the conclusion of a Convention between her Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and the Queen of Spain, for the purpose of regulating a combined operation on the coast of Mexico, with a view to obtain that redress which has hitherto been withheld. That Convention, and papers relating to that subject, will be laid before you. The improvement whi c h ha s t a k en p l ace i n the relations between her Majesty's Government an d that of the Emperor of China, and the good faith GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty commands up to infcrm you that she has directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you. They have been framed with a due regard to prudent economy and to the efficiency of the public service. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Her Majesty commands us to inform you that measures for the improvement of the law will be laid before you, and among them will be a Bill for ren dering the title to land more simple, and its trans fer more easy. Other measures of public usefulness relating to Great Britain and to Ireland will be submitted for your consideration. Her Majesty regrets that in some parts of the United Kingdom, and in certain branches of in dustry, temporary causes have produced consider able pressure and privation; but her Majesty has reason to believe that the general condition of the country is sound and satisfactory. _ . Her Majesty confidently commends the general interests of the nation to your wisdom and your care; and she fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your deliberations, and may guide them to the promotion of the welfare and happiness her people. For their own sakes, we hope it will turn out that the Northerns have gained a real victory in Ken tucky. They need some encouragement after such long preparation, such frequent mishaps, and in prospect of such unparalleled demands on the public credit. We may be forgiven by them if we speak with some reserve on the authority of tele grams from Western Kentucky to Washington, or even on that of a newspaper despatch from Louis ville, a town in the North of Kentucky, one hun dred and fifty miles from the scene of action, and at which nothing better than rumours had arrived when the despatch left. As we wish to believe the best, however, so we are disposed to think it the most probable. The engagement wes indeed no part of the general plan, which the Southern papers speak of with such dread; it was not an arranged attempt to march on the vital parts of the South, from one of the points of which the North is master. It was an isolated attack by the Southerns, a repulse and rout of them by the Northerns, and a capture of what must be very valuable to the impoverished South. Still, under present circumstances, a victory for the North in the open field is worth far more than its strategic results. The little battle of Maida was of small value as a part of a campaign, but as re establishing the belief, which had been shaken, of the superiority of the English to the French sol dier in fair conflict, its results were felt till the day of Waterloo. The Federals, according to the best accounts yet received, were encamped 6,000 strong at Somerset, under General SCHOEPFF, a Hungarian. His Chief General, THOMAS, with a larger fore., had detached himself, to leconnuitie General ZULLI COFFERS, the Confederates' position. It is re ported to have been a strong position, and the commander to have had more fire and energy than prudence. His leav ing his position to attack SCHOEFFF, who he was doubtless aware had less than half the army with him, looks like this. The account is that he was thoroughly beaten baik by SCHOEFFF, though the latter did not think it safe to follow him—but that the same day the two Confederate Generals joined their forces, sat down before the camp for the night, and next morning found that it had been evacuated by the Confederates, all their ammunition and stores of every kind having been left behind. So great was their haste that they neglected to destroy a steamer and nine barges by which they had crossed the river, which were, of course, all of them also seized by the Fede rals. At Louisville the supposition was that the rea son for their receiving no information was that Gen. THOMAS was using these means of transport to move further South, and had therefore been too busy to write. We trust it will prove to be so. At the centre the state of the roads is sufficient to prevent the main army from making the long threatened advance. Unless, indeed, the country be in a condition to permit a pushing forward of the whole line as far south as the capital of Vir ginia, nothing of political or strategical importance would be effected. A great victory at Manassas would, no doubt, like the one in Kentucky, do something towards raising the spirits of the army and of the country generally, and perhaps make loans cheaper and inconvertible paper dearer. But it must be a march on Richmond to give any seri ous shock to the Confederacy. This would involve a departure by M'CLELLAN of a hundred miles and more from his base of operations, and through a hostile country. It would not seem that such an attempt could be made till the soil was dried suffi ciently for artillery and troops to manoeuvre and act freely. The North is now in the position that she is more likely to be beaten by army contractors, and by want of credit, than by the forces of the South. As the latter becomes impoverished, discontented, and diminished, the North is in no danger of succumbing to mere pecuniary embarrassment. With men in plenty which she can get, and money in plenty which she cannot get, the very abun dance of the former makes the deficiency of the latter more terrible. £450,000 a-day is the lowest estimate of the cost of the armies and fleets now maintained in the Union—in round numbers it will require seventy millions sterling on a favourable computation to keep the army on foot even till mid- • summer. American soldiers cost £2OO per annum each. It will soon be necessary to show a very triumphant course, to sustain public confidence under such a pecuniary drain as this. We should not be surprised to find, that a second time political considerations will require a great battle. Three or Five arches for the new bridge at Blackfriars ? That is still the question. Half a year since tie Bridge -house Committee selected out of an immense number of designs—designs either for five or three arches, either for bridges of wrought-iron or of granite—the magnificent one sketched out, mith a master•hand, by Mr. TuomAs PAGE, whose project was certainly of the most superb dimensions, and was proposed to be carried out by him in the most en durable materials. It combined with it, this re markable design sketched out by Mr. PAGE, the apparently irreconcilable advantages of being at 1862. once the most splendid and the most economical. It was to be a bridge costing, altogether, no more than £245,000, being, just as nearly as might be, about half the sum expended in building the pre sent ricketty old structure now demanding, for safety's sake, its rapid removal. Mr.PAGE's bridge, in other words, was to cost, in the construction of it, £3 6s. per square foot of surface—the old tumble down bridge at Blackfriars having cost at least £3 15s. 6d. per square foot. Beyond this it was to consist, this projected bridge of Mr. PAGE'S of only three arches, the centre one being of the gigantic span of 280 ft, or 40ft wider than the central arch of South wark-bridge. From the springing of the arch to the crown the rise is only 20 ft, which, in a span of such an extent, merely amounts to the most gentle curve; so that, when seen from the river, the line of the structure would appear almost straight. The cornice beneath the parapet is of exceedingly bold and handsome design, surmounted with a parapet above of solid granite. The spandrils of the outer iron ribs on each side were closed, but filled up with figures in bas relief and ornamental scrollwork. The piers were designed to form the most massive and noble looking features of the whole. There were to be four of then—two at the shore side arches, and two in the river for the support of the centre arch. Each was to be of granite, of immense size, width, and depth, surmounted with a red granite Doric column, 40 ft high, 23 ft in diameter at base and capi tal, and 18 ft diameter in the column. Each though, built hollow, would weigh upwards of 500 tons. Their capitals reached to the submit of the bridge, and Mr. PAGE proposed to subsequently adorn colossal groups of statuary." Certainly a magni ficent design, and, remembering what has been here said about the small cost of it, a most desirable one in every way. Yet, though deliberately selected by the Bridge-house committee six months ago, the scheme has been given the goby ever since by the Court of Common Council, and there is a manifest disposition evidenced there now to throw this design aside altogether in favour of another, a scheme un dertaking to span the river with five arches, either in iron or granite, at Blackfriars. We earnestly trust that this may not be the case, but that Mr. PAGE'S design, having been selected by reason of its cheapness and splendour, may yet be carried out. ASSURANCE BALANCE SHEETS. As regularly as the session of Parliament opens, and generally on the same day, we are called on to chronicle the first "Life Assurance Meeting" of the year, that of our old friends the " Provident Clerks." Long before any other office has published anything in the shape of a resume of the past year's trans actions, the simple and straightforward balance sheets of this energetic association are distributed throughout the land, and the members have been called together to examine and criticise for them selves the policy of the directors and the position of their society. _ _ It is gratifying to find from the detailed report which appears in our columns, that the proceed ings were of the most satisfactory nature. Every item in the balance-sheet was closely scanned, the progress of the association minutely detailed, and the fullest information given on every point, and, when this was done, the hearty and unanimous verdict of the members was that their interests had been well and faithfully guarded, and that the energies both of the directors and officers had been actively and successfully exerted on behalf of the association. And it must be borne in mind that this was no mere complimentary verdict. It was the deliberate expression of men who were well able to judge of these labours by their fruits, and who had too much at stake to allow mere consi derations of courtesy to weigh against the solid interests of 7,0110 families—for to that large number does the roll of members extend. Those who remember the unostentatious way in which this association, 21 years ago, was launched into cAiotellee, will perhaps learn. with some sur prise that its income now amounts to upwards of £45,000, and its reserved funds to £170,000 ; that it has at risk more than a million and a quarter divided over nearly 7,000 different lives, and that it has paid very nearly £lOO,OOO in claims. Such success, in the midst of keen competition, and despite the discredit caused by the bubble schemes of the past 10 years, must have some solid foundation. We believe it to be due to the fact that, in addition to the energy of the management, the association has, from the first, transacted the whole business in the broad light of day; that a clear balance-sheet, showing the actual state of the association, its gains, its losses, its mode of invest ment, &c., has been freely given, not only to the members, but to all corners. Where there is nothing to fear there is nothing to hide, and the candour with which the directors of the Provident Clerks' office have published its affairs has won for them an appreciation not only in the as surance world, but among the general public, of which they are now reaping the reward. We are no advocates of Government interference in the management of private undertakings, but when we reflect on the magnitude of the inte rests involved in the life assurance offices of this country, we are half inclined to regret that the publication of a balance-sheet, as clear and intel ligible as that now lying before us, is not ren dered in some degree compulsory. That the public at large appreciate the practice is evident from the fact that nearly 1,000 policy holders are now being yearly added to the ranks of this flourishing asso ciation. 711 E BAY _MARKET THEATRE. Mr. Sothern still continues to be the one " bright particular star" at the Haymarket. His extraor dinary originality and his exquisite humour in the character of Lord Dundreary crowd the house nightly with an audience that is tickled during two hours and a-half intermittently into shouts of laughter. The simple fact that Mr. Sothern is regularly every evening encored in the perusal of Brother Sam's letter, just speaks for itself ! That nightly encore of the reading of a letter—a thing never heard of before—is proof positive of what is really in truth the case, namely, that Mr. Sothern's style of acting is perfectly exceptional, and that it is also excruciatingly ridiculous. Never was there a more delightful embodiment of the empty-headed fop. His interrupted sneeze is only to be thought of on the broad grin. The mere recollection of his little tripping run is a perpetual exorcism to the blue devils. His very whiskers survive in our remembrance as perpetual provocatives to merri ment. His glass in his eye, his hands in his dandy trouser pockets, his hair parted down the middle with the straightest of sheepwalks up the crown of his head, his unconscious stutter, his chronic influenza, his rs wolled into we, his frequent self bewilderment with his own logic, his constant impression that every one about him is " mad you know," his inimitable ease and self-possession throughout, his perfect good breeding and imperturbable good humour from the begin ning to the end of his performance—every indi vidual member of his nightly admirers, every woman and child cannot by any possibility look at without laughing, and we will add too without liking. So exquisitely droll is my Lord Dundreary even in his ineffable rapidity, that one is almost fain to say of him esto perpetua. He certainly cannot by any chance be spared for a long while to come at the Haymarket, where he has long since grown into a favourite, and where he is fast grow ing into an institution. Lord Taunton arrived at his residence in Bel grave .square last evening - . - Lord Ebury returned to Moor Park yesterday afternoon. Lord and Lady Caithorpe left Grosvenor-square yesterday, for Perry Hall, Birmingham. Lord and Lady Egerton of Tatton arrived in St. James's-square a few days since, from Tatton Park, Che shire. His lordship and family have since left town for Brighton. LATEST NEWS. MEXICAN INTERVENTION. NEW YORK, JAN. 23 (Morning. (Per Canada, by telegraph to Halifax.) The Spanish steamer Velaseo, from Vera Cruz on the 10th inst., arrived at Havana on the 14th inst. The " Diario Marina" states that the British and French squadrons and the Spanish steamer Fran cisco Asia, with General Prim on board, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 7th inst. General Prim made a speech saying that the expe dition did not come to conquer Mexico, but to obtain redress for injuries. He said he believed the Mexi cans were convinced of the loyal intentions of the Spaniards, and would not oppose them by force of arms; but if they did so the responsibility would rest with them, and he would throw himself into the peril and point out the road to glory. General Prim afterwards reviewed the Spanish forces amidst great enthusiasm. The disembarking forces of the French are 1,300 infantry, 500 Zouaves, 500 marine fusiliers, and 200 marine artillerymen. The total force is 2,600, of which the largest portion had disem barked. The flags of England, France, and Spain float over Vera Cruz and San Juan de Ulloa. The English flag floats on the right, the French in the centre, and the Spanish on the left. The barque Preble and the schooner Beautiful Star had arrived with arms and powder for the Mexican Government. Both vessels were seized, and their cargoes deposited in store until further notice. The price of provisions was very high in Vera Cruz. Reconnaissances had been madeby the Spaniards in the neighbourhood of Vera Cruz. One account states that the Spaniards met guerillas, who fled. Another account states that the Spaniards were fired upon by concealed foes, and driven back. The Mexicans still appear determined to resist. PARIS, FEB. 6. The " Moniteur" of this morning alludes in its bulletin to the comments of the press on Mexican affairs, and says : " An imperious necessity exists for the interven• ing Powers to complete their work by constituting, in accordance with the wishes of the Mexican nation, a strong and durable Government, with which Europe could form solid and pacific relations." The" Moniteur" also announces that M. Gouin has reported on the bill for the conversion of the 4f per Cent. Rentes, and recommends its adoption. The delay for the conversion of the Rentes is reduced to 20 days. TURIN, FEB. 5 (Evening). The _ltalia of to-day counsels the Government to recal Mazzini unconditionally, and says—" Mazzini would not be veiy redoubtable even as a deputy." CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Euxine, with the above mails, left Alex andria fur Marseilles on the morning of the sth instant. The Ceylon sailed the previous day with the Southampton portion of the mails. The Nubia brought the mails to Suez, arriving there on the 2d instant. FRANCE. " A telegraphic despatch from Alexandria," says the Moniteur, " announces that Admiral Bonard has obtained great successes in Cochin-China. The details will doubtless arrive by the next mail." BOURSE, Feb. s.—The market has been rather less animated, but prices have been main tained, with but a slight decine on the closing rates of the previous day.

Under this title, two French youths, named Henri and Pfau, aged nine and eleven years, have for three hundred c ,nsecutive nights been electrifying the audiences of the Cirque Napoleon, Paris, with some astonishing feats on the " flying trapeze ;" and the management of the Oxford Music hall announces their first appearance in this country at the above hall, on Monday, the 17th inst. The French press speaks in the most eulogistic terms of their perform ances—a double somersault frrm the trapeze, constituting an item in the evolutions. It is wisely intended that this performance shall in no way interfere with the operatic selections or the rest of the musical entertainment, and it will, therefore, not take place before 11 o'clock each evening. The purely musical amateur and the lovers of the more exciting entertainment will find their tastes consulted by this entertainment. Pending the arrival of these young people, we may add a word about the general performances at the Oxford. There cannot be a second opinion as to the great merits of the operatic selections. Their execution, by principals and chorus, is unexceptionable, both in the rendering of the solos and in the general sustainment of the spirit and in tention of the composition. The continuous habit of sing ing together, of course, contributes to this very satisfactory result. Miss Russell remains the queen of song here, and on the night we last heard a selection, Signor Tivoli mado himself conspicuous by the refined taste awl expres sion of his singing in the , " Traviata" selection. The band, under the direction of Mr. Jolly, gi ves th e necessary frame work to the selections, and th e w h o l e o f the musical arrangements add fresh lustre to Mr. Jonghmans, the con ductor. Mr. Viotti Coiling (a clever member of a clever family) plays some captivating solos on the violin each evening, in which he exhibits a complete mastery over the mechanical difficulties of the most difficult of instruments. The weight of the comic business seems at this moment to fall principally on Mr. W. Randall and Mr. Sam Collins. The former, in an imitation of Robson, in the " Porter's Knot," develops powers as an actor, which could not fail to earn him a first -rate position as a comedian. His sud den transitions from the grave to the ludicrous—his fan tastic blending of the most incongruous emotions, are worthy the original, and mark Mr. Randall for increased and deserved popularity. Mr. Sam Collins, the Irish " gentleman in potatoe skins," is overflowing with that humour which can only be imported from the Emerald Isle, and to which John Bull is a willing captive. Mr. M. P. Foster has also added a new set of " Life Sketches" to his living portfolio, and represents some characters "at the play" with wonderful point and accuracy. The admirers of Mrs. German Reed—and where are they not ?—will find some of that lady's famous little character songs agreeably paraphrased by Miss Harriet Coveney. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this company, yesterday, determined to recommend to the proprietors at the general meeting on the 22nd instant, to declare a dividend for the half-year to the 31st December last, at the rate of £7 15s. per cent per annum on the original stock of the company, giving for the half-year £3 17s. 6d. per cent. to the original stock; £3 per cent, to the " B" stock, and £4 15s. per cent. to the " A" stock. These rates will make the dividend for the whole year 1861, as follows, viz.:—£s 15s. per cent. on the original stock, £6 per cent. on the " B " stock, and £5 10s. per cent. on the " A" stock. PARAFFIN CANDLES.—The white candles made of this extraordinary material leave all other substances far behind, and the analysis of Dr. Letheby claims for it ad vantages over sperm, stearine, and even wax, of the weightiest consideration to the consumer. Coloured candles are likewise made of paraffin, of the most lovely tints, and these burn just as well as the white, the brilliant tran sparency of the paraffin causing orly a n i n fi n i tes i mal quan tity of the colouring matter to be employed. The lemon, the pale pink, the puce, and the mauve coloured candle a ppear to us to be singularly adapted to the illumination of drawing rooms and boudoirs. It may be of interest to re mark that the mauve is obt a i ne d b y the use of "P er ki ns ' P u rple," which itself is indebted for its existence to the Ben gole, derived from the same materials as the solid paraffin which here, after purification, meets again in the material, body.—The Messrs, Fields, of Xiarabeth, are the patentees. PROVf_DENT rL PRK - ' MUTU L IFR ASSURAACA ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MEETING. The 21st annual meeting of the members of this Association took place last evening at the London Tavern. R. H. Jones, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The SECRETARY (Mr, Linford) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, proceeded to read the directors' annual report as follows : In presenting to the members their 21st annual report, the board have to renew their congratulations on the marked prosperity which attends the progress of the association. The new assurances effected during the last 12 months com prise 797 policies for £175,470, in addition to which, 82 policies for £17,650 have been declined or deferred, or are now awaiting completion, making a total of 879 proposals for £193,120 received during the year. The new annual income arising from the completed assurances is £6,008 15s 6d, being the largest amount obtained in any one year since the commencement of the association. The total in come for 1861 is £45,657 5s 4d, and after payment of all claims and expenses the amount added to the fund of the association is £23,686. The assets of the association wholly invested in Government and real securities, amounted on the 31st Dec. to £169,686 Ils 10d. The claims by death continue moderate ; 63 policies, assuring with bonuses the sum of £14,463 14s 6d, have fallen in during the past year; of this sum, however, £3,000 was covered by re-assurances, making the actual amount to be written off X 11,463 14s 6d. The total sum thus paid since the commencement of the association to the representatives of deceased members is £98,613 15s 2d. The amount of good effected by payment of this sum will be readily appreciated by those who know how frequently a life policy is the only possible form of pro vision for a widow and family. The board feel that in the face of such figures as they are able to lay before the mem bers, comment is scarcely needed. The following return, however, of the three septennial periods now accomplished by the institution will be interesting, as affording conclu sive evidence of its progress : Seven years No. of Amount Annual Accumulated ending Policies.

The following directors,, in accordance with rule 10, retire by rotation, but being eligible, offer themselves for re-election :—Mr. Alexander Dawson, Mr. Samuel Jepps, and Mr. James Lintott. The following gentlemen, duly qualified, have been proposed as auditors for the ensuing year :—Mr. James Richard Lloyd, Mr. Francis Frederick Toole, and Mr. Charles Woolley. The CHAIRMAN said such was the report for the past year, and he felt certain that there was no one amongst them that evening but would agree with him that it was a matter of mutual congratulation. The document being so satisfactory he had but little to say ; but still he thought it was expected that he should say something, and he would begin by saying that he felt great gratification in meeting the members of this association on this interesting occasion, namely, the completion of their 21st year. (Hear, hear.) The success of the past year had not been attained without considerable exertions on the part of the directors. They had attended no less than twenty meetings in all parts of the country, all of which had been attended with the most satis factory results. (Cheers.) As soon as the directors of the association found means of access to any par ticular place or class they instantly availed them selves of the opportunity by taking advantage of the circumstance, indeed, they were compelled to do so, in order to meet the competition which now existed for life assurance. (Hear, hear.) On one occasion he recollected they experienced the greatest difficulty in getting a meeting arranged, and after some of the difficulties had been surmounted, the directors had to travel eighty miles to attend it. They undertook the journey, expecting to meet about 20 persons, but on arriving at their destination they were most happily disappointed in their expectation, for on the opening of their proceedings they had at least 250 persons present. (Cheers.) The speeches were listened to with the greatest attention, a number of their forms were filled up at the termination of the proceedings, and about 50 proposals emanated from that meet ing. (Cheers.) He mentioned this circumstance only to show that the competition to which he had previously . referred required the greatest exer tions on the part of the directors to meet it. With respect to the balance sheet it was a great plea sure to see that the renewals of premiums had been paid up so well during the past year. (Hear, hear.) It was also gratifying that they reached the large amount of £6,000 for new premiums during the past year. The previous year had been one of great success, but they exceeded it by £5OO in the year just terminated. The invest ments which were of a very secure character, brought in an interest of 41 per cent., which was a good return on the money of the association. Ile claims on them were moderate, and it was satisfactory that they could now take large amounts and reassure them. It was also a matter of con gratulation that they were now in a position to take assurances for large amounts, and in cases where that was done, the plan was not to keep all to themselves, but to re-assure some portion of it with other societies of good and sound standing. (Cheers.) The general charges for the year scarcely exceeded those of the last year, and that was owing to the additional business that had been secured. (Hear.) There was one item, the donation given to the poor during the great distress which prevailed last winter, and the directors gave the sum feeling satisfied it would meet with the hearty approval of all the members of the association, (Hear, hear.) There was the loss of £5O by the failure of an► agent ; but taking into account the enormous amount received by the society, he did not think the loss of so small a sum was a matter of very great regret. The directors had had a guarantee on the agent, the amount of which had been re ceived, and when it came to the knowledge of the board that the agent in question had received money which he ought not to have done, the directors wrote for the money, and the result was the failure )f the party concerned. There was also a little addition to the salary account. (Hear, hear.) The house i❑ Moorgate-street had happily been got rid of—(hear, hear)---and, in accordance with the wishes of the members, the directors had altogether ceased to charge anything to the benevolent fund. (Cheers.) To induce the great body of the mem bers to take part with the directors in the great success of the society, they had sent each member a New Year's gift. (Laughter.) They had sent out no less than 7,000 circulars for their members, each of which was occupied by a form of proposal which it was wished such member would get filled up, and return to the directors previous to the present meeting. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Some had not done so much as was asked—(laughter)—but enough had been done to compensate for the labour—(cheers) —of sending out the circulars, as no less than 80 proposals, insuring a sum of £15,000 had been returned. (Cheers.) That certainty was an en couragement to the members, and he felt he should have most severely to reprove those mem bers, in the event of the experiment being re peated, who did not make a satisfactory return after his present caution. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) The members ought not in fairness leave all exertioa to the directors, and if one of them found a difficulty in obtaining another new assurer they would have some notion of the extreme amount of exertion required by the directors to lay before them such a satisfactory state of affairs as they had done that evening. The present year had begun most prosperously, as they had up to the present time completed 174 policies for £41,150. (Hear, hear.) He felt extreme gratification in meeting them, to show such ,a good result, and it was most certainly n o trifling circumstance to have provided so large a sum as that of which they were possessed to meet the wants of their fellow creatures. He looked upon such a fact not as a ques tion of pounds, shillings and pence, but as a means of extending their sphere of usefulness. (Hear, hear.) It was a great satisfaction to find that the public reposed the greatest confidence in their association, and this he felt was entirely owing to their straightforward and honest conduct, as publicity was given to everything that was done; and that circumstance was, no doubt, the inducement that led other societies of long standing and respecta bility to come forward and offer to us some of their business in exchange for that of ours. (Cheers.) When we began we had no great names amongst us ; we had nothing but honest and pure motives to do good, and it Was a satisfaction which he A
