At the meeting of the proprietors of the London Bank of Mexico and South America (Limited) the directors' report was adopted, and a dividend de clared for the half-year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax. The ordinary meeting of the shareholders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was little more than formal, and an adjournment was arranged to the 2d July next, when the accounts for the financial year will be received from the Anglo- Americ In Company. The chairman congratulated the shareholders on the growing revenues of the company, the messages amounting to £7OO a day, and said that he hoped at the next half-yearly meeting there would be a dividend for the ordi nary shareholders. The question of a further reduction in the tariff of messages was under con sideration, and a lower scale would probably be decided upon. At the annual general meeting of the British Equitable Assurance Company it was reported that 3,086 new policies were issued during the past twelve mouths, assuring £535,211, and producing £16,293 in new premiums.

(BY TELEGRAPH Numbers at mid-day—Thirty-nine struck off and six added to respondents ; thirty struck off and one added to petitioner, leaving Platt in majority of three. Life assurance has now become the duty of every provident man, but in performing that duty a certain amount of doubt arises as to the particular office to select, because in Many instances a splendid establish ment and a largo and expensive staff swallow up a great percentage of the annual income, and in the end load to amalgamation with kindred offices, to the great danger of the assured. But there are a limited number of sound offices in which a provision for a family can be made with safety and security, and one of these is the British Equitable, a report of whose annual meeting will be found in another column. The admirable remarks of Mr. Gover, the manager, will be found very interesting' showing, as they do, the undoubted solidity of the society, and the almost unexampled progress it has continued to make ever since its first establishment 14 years ago. Thi s office confines its operations solely to English lives ; it avoids foreign assurance and all risky business, and not withstanding the prospects of largo results in distant and speculative investments, which offer charms to other Offices, the principles of the British Equitable remain fixed and concentrated on the acquiring only good English lives, and to this fact is to be attributed the very gratifying re marks that found such a hearty response amongst the large number of those present at the meeting, all of whom were deeply interested in the success of the ociety, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 169 _ .

The annual general meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the offices of the company, 4, Queen street-place, Southwark-bridge --John Smither, Esq., pre siding. A large number of shareholders and policyholders were present. The directors annual report was as follows:—" The continued prosperity of the company during the past year is shown by the following facts relating to the year's business.' The new business of the year, which has been carefully selected, consists of 3,086 policies, assuring £535,211, the new annual income thereon being £16,2937 The amount paid for surrenders is small, being less than per cent. of the premiums received during the year. Death claims and bonuses have been paid under 104 policies for £19,018, a sum considerably below the amount provided bythe company's tables. The total payment on ac count of death claims ai dbouusesfromt'iecommencement of the compway amounts to £99,339, under 613 policies. Nearly E. 28,000 have been added to the accumulated fund, which no w amounts to £182,938. The directors have to dep`ore the irreparable lo's of their late excelled, chair man, Will'am (lover, Esq., who died on tit., lst Decsmber last, after p-o:iding over the company for fourie. n 3 ears. Death has also remov, d another of the original directo7s of the company, Josek.h Waranitagton, Est., who remained a constant attendant at the board lint 1 his last illness. The policyholder; are thanked for their warm co-opera tion with the executive in the extension of the cotnrany's business, and are requested to cont•nue their v...litable help," The MANAGING DIRECTOR said, with the permission of the meeting, he would make a few observations upon the report just lead. The British Equi.ab:e Assurance Cone peny, us they all knew, was founded fourteen years since, upon principles then nuipie, and now established by x perience. "Mutual assurance, without mutual liability," by means of a proprietary fund sharing the profits of non participating business only. Adapt ition to the wants and convenience of the assured. Co- operation of policy holders with the executive, and they have since added the " Application of profits to the extinction of later pre miums on policies," so as to make them become payable in life-time. An improved system of assuring second-class lives, and non-forfeiture policies. (Hear, hear.) In working out the company's principles, the careful selection of life, combined with the prompt and liberal settlement of claims bed always been aimed at. It had resulted that a Life Assurance business has been built up of large amount, excellent quality, and good profit. The new policies issued in five years were 4,970 fur £812,492 ; in second five years, 6,743 for £1,088,917 ; and in the lest four years, 11,886 for £2,052,088; mating a total in fourteen years of 23,593 for £033,497. (Loud cheers.) The policies in force at the end of the first seven years were 4,475, assuring £758,774; at the end of the first ten years, 7,279, assuring £1,214,014; and at the eud of fourteen years 15,040, assuring £2,586,927. (Cheers.) If they looked at the company's business at the end of the first seven years, andat the end of the second seven years' they would find it was three times as great in the latter instance. The sum laid by in the fourteenth year was likewise three times as great as that laid by in the seventh. (Cheers.) The following figures would show the growth of the accumulated fund :—At the end of three years it stood at £19,617; at six, £32,052; at nine, £62,000; at twelve, £127,978; and at fourteen, £182,938; which was four and a half times as great as at the end of the seventh. (Hear, hear.) In fact it had been doubled three times over in fourteen years. (Cheers.) That fund was as instinct with life as any other part of the company's machinery. The money was out at compound interest, and that money was working night and day as time went on, to generate in the shape of compound inte rest, a constant increase of what he might call " the population of sovereigns in the company's exchequer." (Laughter and cheers.) The growth of the accumulated flint', which seems to indicate a law of doubling nearly every three years, presaged large accumulations for the company in future, and at the present time he thought the company might be compared with much advantage in that, as well as in other particulars, with some older companies. I would be an idle speculation, though a curious one, to consider what the accumulated fund would grow to in a very short space of time, were its present law of growth maintained. (Hear, hear.) It doubled itself three times in fourteen years, and were this to take place again in the next fourteen years it would give results which would unquestionably place the company in a position without parallel. (Cheers.) Their careful selection of life, the eschewing of all risky business, and the excellent habits for the most part of the lives assured had been evidenced by the low mortality experienced uniformly throughout the entire period—a mortality not greatly exceeding one half of the tabular provision if taken for the whole I period, or two-thirds, taking the last four years. The provision which the company made to enable policy holders to tide over periods of embarrassment by loans on Policies had been the means of enabling many of the assured, during the past year, to keep their policies on foot until a more prosperous period, and it was satisfactory to note that the amount paid for the surrender of p ilicies in the past year was just one-third Jose, with regard to the amount of business in force, than thatipaid iu the seventh year. Every opportunity had been taken of enriching the list of benefits and advantages offered by the company by the addition of whatever could be devised or adopted to render the provisien of life assurance more universally acceptable. A method of assurance ha 1 late:y come into vo.rue in America, which it was thougia might be adopted in England with acceptance and profit. It was the ass m ance of life by the paym•;et of ten annuli premium ;. After the third a.enuil premium was p Lid, a p,i , l-112 po!icy was granted on application for tic ee-tont'is of the sum assured ; after the feurth premium was paid four-tenths ; and so on, until the ten annual premiums lied been p ;id, when the policy was henceforth a fr ee • t . • t policy, per ictpe - ing in the profits of the company. 'rabies would be shortly issued under that plan for payments by ten, fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five years' annual premiums. ([leer, hear.) Having paid a grateful tribute to the memory of the late chairman and Mr. Warmington, the speaker concluded by saying that this company, though not a very old one, was yet in some respects a great com pany. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) A company of policy holders, 15,000 strong, was a large company, ono of the largest numerically to be found, and he thought if their 15,000 policy-holders, with their wives and children, were all gathered into ono place, reckoning them at say 100,000 sours, it would require one of our first-rate cities to lodge them. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He strongly urged the policy-holders to be very active for the company. Let them study the full moaning of the word co-operation ; let every one of the policy-holders unite with the direc tors, with the staff of the office, and with the agents, in a great effort fur the current year, and they should have such a report next year as any company might well be proud of. (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then moved the first resolution for the adoption of the report, and said that after the very ad mirable remarks of their manager it was quite unneces sary for him to detain them by any lengthened observa tions. He could Lot help congratulating the meeting on the great success which still continued to attend their efforts. Mr. LEMON said it afforded him the greatest pleasure to second the motion. The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The retiring directors, G. F. Dale, Eq., and J. Smither, Esq., were unanimously re-elected, and Mr. W. Smith was elected a director. Mr. F. J. HARTLEY moved a vote of thanks to the managing director for the energy and ability with which he had conducted their affairs during the year just closed. (Cheers.) Mr. J. Msvenns cordially seconded the proposition, which was agreed to unanimously. Mr. GOVER having returned thanks, Dr. UNDERHILL moved, and Mr. SIMMONS seconded, a vote recording the great loss the company had sustained by the death of their late chairman, who was a gentleman of the highest honour, of untiring energy, of unbounded information, and experience. The resolution was carried; and votes of thanks having been given to the various officers of the company, the pro ceedings terminated. TRAINING REPORTS. (From the Sporting Lift.)

STOCKBRIDGE.- Since my last, the following horses, t a:nett by John Day, hive been do'ng good work: -Cock of the Walk, Birdseeker, Blacher, Roderick To: merit colt, Demidoff, Yule Cake colt, lktty, Crucifixion filly, Dioue, Roxana, Lucy Bertram, ScAtisli Queen, and Atonement. Tom Day has been busy with Laura, Fly her, D. n:elle, Refl. ction, Boa ter, Lo:'J Jersey, Lady Raglan, Lady Anne, Malaria, Dick Curtis, and Saalu:r. Haynes has tha Alderman and Al*ce doing well. Wed nes!lay. - The Danebury lot did not come out till the after noon, whet) Cock of the Walk led Atonement a rattling gund];allop of rather more than a mile and a half. Blucher, Birdseeker, and Scottish Queen went the same distance, but not so fast. Red Rice led Demidoff, Roderick Dhu, Torment colt, and Yule Cake colt ab ut a mil© at a nice pace. Laura and Flyfisher went two miles on the old course. Thursday. —Tom Day cantered and galloped all his team, but the Dauebury stable lot had two sharp cantors only, the last one of about a mile. Friday. —Tom Day sent Reflection and Dentelle about a mile and three quarters at a good pace. Lord Jersey and Boaster fol lowed, but very slowly. Lady Raglan also went about the same distance steadily. Laura and Flyfisher went a mile and a quarter. Cock of the Walk led Atonement and the Alderman a rattling gallop of a mile and a half.

Red Rice led Roderick Dhu, Demidoff, Torment colt, and Yule Cake colt about a mile; and he did the like service for the Crucifixion filly, Roxana, Lucy Ber tram, Dione, and Alice over the same distance. Our City and Suburban and Metropolitan nag, Atonement, has been doing good work, and is well. Birdseeker, in the Chester Cup, is also doing well; the same may be said of Blucher and Scottish Queen for their engagements ; the latter will be sure to take some doing for the One Thou sand Guineas, but I do not think much of her chance for the Oaks, as her being a roarer will not let her stay the distance. lientelle and Reflection, engaged in the Oaks, aro doing well ; the first-named is also in the One Thou sand. MIDDLEIT.A.SI—On Tuesday, Fobert, after the usual mile canter, sent Lady Heuriette, Etoile Filante, Vansittart, and Netherwood a rattling gallop of two miles. Duchess of Athol, Nectarine, and Pride of Erin were sent the same distance at half speed. Bracken, Fortunio, Blair Drum mond Mysotis, Java, Guinea 11., and Sunshade galloped two miles steadily. Summers galloped Honesty and Ho nestish a mile and a half at half speed, and H. Hall sent Moll and Dick a striding gallop of three miles. 'Dawson's and Osborne's lots did some good mile work. Wcdues day—There was a severe frost, and the ground was very hard. The several teams were all restricted to walking and trotting exercise. Thursday —Fobert's Lady Hen rietto, Vansittart, and Netherwood went two miles at a nice half speed. Bracken, Fortunio, Blair Drummond, Etoile Filante, Mysotis, ;.Pride of Erin, Sunshade, and Nectarine all did good mile work. Duchess of Athol went two miles steadily by herself. 11.

Tabouret led the two year' old colts some good work the same distance, and Minister Bell piloted the fillies. The above lot are all looking healthy, and going remarkably well, more especially Pretender, who im proves daily, and the cracks will have to look to their laurels in both the Derby and Two Thousand. Mandrake, Good Hope, and King's Cross are all doing well for Chester Cup, as are also Lady Henrietta and Vansittart for Epsom. KINGSCLERE.—On Wednesday we had heavy rain dur ing the morning, and it was fully one o'clock before the following horses were on Cannon Heath :—Blue Gown, Pero Gomez, Rosicrucian, Siderolite, Ki.tg Cophetua, Vagabond, Morns, Masterstroke, Waif, Madame Eglentine filly, Blue Stocking, Girasol, Mrs. Quickly colt, and Sala mis. All walked for some time on the end of the down, mid then Blue Gown commenced the work by leading Pero Gomez a steady canter of a mile and a quarter, fol lowed by Vagabond, King Cophetua, and Siderolite. Morn;, as of !ate, showed the way for the following two rear olds: - Maclaine Eglentine filly, IVuif, and B:uo Stocking. Rosicrucian, carrying a heavy weight, with Masterstroke, brought up the roar. After walking for ron:e time in the hollow, all repeated their canter. Quickly colt, Girasol, and Salaulls were here sent .home. auk) Gown then led Pero Gomez a fast gallop of a mile and three-quarters, both going: first-rate. Raiu now again came on, and all were sent home. Vaga bond and King Cophetua were being eased, and are very well. Thursday—The same team was again on Cannon Heath, and all cantered a mile and a quarter twice in the above order, except Salamis, Girasol,and Mrs Quickly colt, who were restricted to walking exercise for an hour, when they returned to the stables. Blue Gown led Pero Gomez a fast gallop 01 a mile and three-quarters, followed at an interval by Vagabond, King Cophetua, and Siderolite. I never saw Blue Gown or Pero Gomez moving in bettor form. King Co, hetua is growing into a very handsome colt, and has improved much in his temper. Vagabond is rather leggy, but a better mover there is not in training, and ho is one of the quickest on his legs at starting I have seen for some time. He re quires a strong lad to hold him, but when really in his stride, he, like Pero Gomez, covers a deal of ground. Both these horses will be worth watching for the. City and Su burban. Friday.—On Cannon Heath Blue Gown led T Palmer and Pero Gomez a steady canter of a mile. V a ga bond, King Cophetua, and Siderolite followed. Morna showed the way to Madame Eglantine filly, Waif, and Blue Stocking, over the same course, Rosicrucian and Masterstroke bringing up the rear. Lictoradiami colt Mrs. Quickly colt, Girasol, and Salamis returned home. Blue Gown subsequently led Pero Gomcz a steady gallop of a mile and three-quarters. Vagabond led King Cophetua and Siderolite the same distance. The Palmer galloped at a steady pace by himself. Morna was followed by Madame Eglantine filly, Waif, and Blue Stocking in a s!ow canter of a mile and a quarter. Rosicrucian and Masterstroke followed in their wake. Ersom.—On Wednesday Carter galloped Prince Paul Queen Esther, Queen of the Forest, and Baroness the mile twice at a good pace. Queen Esther (engaged in the City and Suburban) is going remarkably well. Bentley had out the whole of his team, and Skirmish led Slowman and The Laird a nice gallop of a mile and a half. Hughes had a long string out, but they did nothing beyond some use ful exorcise canters. Nightingall sent the following two journeys of a mile and a half each :—Laird of Scotland, Erector, Little Go, Adolphus, Cecil, Lad of Scotland, Molly Carew colt, Apathy, and Attempt. Reeve's lot were under the superintendence of his head lad, consisting of Sir Oliver, Cheddiugton, Two by Honours, Fiona, Con servative, Chickaleary Cove, and Chawbacon, who did the mile twice, a!1 going well. J. Martin gave Copenhagen, Domino, nod Primula a good gallop, and George Simpson sent Jove spinning along at his best pace for two miles Potter's man sent Lizzin Ilexhain to lead his four two year olds some capital canters of ne ar l y a m il e.

T hursday. —Precisely the same amount of work was got through by the respective teams, and in the afternoon a large company assembled on Mile Hill to witness the match between Mr. Crandon's bay puny Beauty and Mr. Blake's brown cob Brigand, which the former won easily. Friday. —A miserably wet day and nothing doing on the downs, not a dozen horses putting in an appearance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
