(who was received with loud applause), in the chair. The annual report of the managers was read by the secretary, Mr. Linford, as follows : The board haVe much pleasure in presenting to the members and friend s o f th e P rov id en t Cl er k s ' B enevo lent Fund, their 18th annual report. The income of the past Year has been as follows, viz. :—Donations, £2l 10s. ; an nual subscriptions, £497 3s. 6d. ; Life ditto, £lO 10s.— £529 3s. 6d. • subscriptions of ss. and upwards from assurers being clerks, £665 ls.; interest, dividends, &c., £686 Os. 2d.; Proceeds of public dinner in London, May 31, 1858, £1,244 12s. 11d. ; share of bonus (one tenth) received from the Provide n t Clerks' Ilutual Life Assurance Association, £ l ,OOO, total; '14,124 17s. 7d. An increased number of appeals have been made 'to the board for temporary assist ance. There has, consequently, been a larger sum voted in gratuities, which amount, during the year, to £lB5 Bs. The loan fund continues to be extremely serviceable to many of th e mem b ers . Th e sum l en t i n 1158 was £1,863, making a' total of £26,863 advanced in this form since the est blishment of the fund in 1840. The capital of the fund now amounts to £lB,BBO. The balance sheet, duly audited, has been submitted to the trustees. In pursuance of the resolution of the annual general meeting, held on the 3d of February last,' an election of annuitants took place on the 31st May, when the following were elected, viz.:-1 clerk to an annuity of £3o'; 1 widow to annuity of £2O; 1 ditto, £l5, amounting together to £65 per annum. Four annuities have fallen in during the past year, and the number now remaining on the fund are 48, viz.-9 clerks, and 39 widows, who are receiving, collectively, £855 per annum. The board now, recommend that six additional 'be granted, viz., to oho clerk and five widows Of clerks', subject to the discretion of the board. A reSolution to the above effect will be sub mitted to the meeting. The board have much pleasure in ccongratulating the members on th e success w hi c h a tt en d e d the public dinner of this fund, which was held at the London Tavern on the 31st of May last, under the able presidency of Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq., M.P. for the City of . London, and they gladly take this opportunity of renewing their thanks to those by whose kind and liberal contribu tions the result was obtained, upwards of £1,200 being added.to the fund. It is also with muck satisfaction the board inform the members that they haVe received from the Provident Clerks' Mutual Life Assurance Association the sum of one thousand pounds, being the proporsion of profits contri buted by those members who are also subscribers to this fund. The board have to report with much regret the loss by death of one of the auditors, the late William Smee, Esq., whose valuable services t o th e f und ' dated from it com mencement. The have also with extreme reluctance ac cepted the resignation of James William Gilbert, Esq., another of the auditors. who, has been compelled by ill health to relinquish his official connection with the fund, while expressing the same kindly interest in its welfare which he has manifested since its establishment. In con sequence of the above the board have obtained the consent of George Earle Gray, Esq., chief accountant of the Bank of England, and Augustus Jackson White, Esq., manager of the Cit y B an k, to fill the vacanies thus created, which appointments have, therefore, been made by the board, sub ject to confirmation by the meeting,in accordance with role 8. A reso l u ti on i n ac c o rdance with the above will be submitted to the meeting." The CHAIRMAN congratulated the members on the great progress that had been made in the aug mentation of the fund, and especially with regard to the £1,244 odd r e alised by the dinner, a circum stance which was not only a greet benefit to the society, but which gave them that stability and that assurance of the anxiety for their welfare on the part of the public out of doors, which in some quarters had app aren tly b een ques ti o ned. Mr. LLOYD, after again referring to the large payment of £3OO to the assurance office, com plained that undue pressure and unfair influence Were brought to bear to secure votes for applicants requiring assistance from the fund. There was one ease where a poor widow applied, whose husband for nearly b n e e e a ri rl i y n the employ of a large fi rm i n th e c ity thirty-seven years. Notwithstancl rr • inb this long servitude, the firm had not the lib„-Tality to advance the poor widow the £l5 or £2O per annum, which was all the fund could su pply her with, but they had the questionable t aste to priat,their names on her cards, and have them sent round, for the purpose of influencing votes for a trifling sum which would have cost them no ine nvenience whatever to have presented her with. (Rear, hear.) Mr. Lloyd concluded by urging upon th e managers the i mportance; o f taking into their consideration, during the present year, some Plan for the establishment of orphan schools for the children of deceased members. The CHAIRMAN said he was sure Mr. Lloyd's remarks about the case of the poor widow would rind an echo in every breast, though he (the Chair- Several experiments have been made at Chatham with a new description of rifle bullet for firing at long ranges, the invention of Captain I. Norton, the result of which has been very satisfactory. The superiority of the balls invented by Captain Norton lies in his coating the bullet with a small film of paper, which considerably lessens the tremendous friction which the ordinary rifle bullets undergo before they leave the rifle, thereby materially diminishing their propelling force and. affecting the accuracy of aim. Captain Norton also does away with the ordinary " plug" at the base, one description of bullet havin ma nail or screw inserted at the base, and in the other kind the hollow for the powder being very largo. More than a dozen of the new bullets were fired at the target, the rifle used being the elliptical bore rifle of Mr. Lancaster, which is in use by the Royal Engineers. The range tried was 250 yards, at which distance the accuracy with which the new bullets - carried was exceedingly satisfactory, only three failing to strike the target, one miss being not the fault of the bullet. The superiority of the new bullets over those now in use was very manifest. The ordinary expanding shot for the Enfield rifle requires the purest lead for casting, but in the paper coated ball of Captain Norton any lead will answer. The mould in which the newly invented bullets were cast was made by Mr. Lancaster to correspond with the elliptical bore of his rifle. ces. oh direc t ! 0 c OP ,ern k ho 0 IT nting at nt as t but wil l ' a) f 0 3 h a l, not °A e ; nP th e a ,878, onditle4 ed thei ful, low s. d.

PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIA TION.—In another part of our columns will be found a report of the 18th annual meeting of this successful association.• With an income of £31,000 per annum, and an accumulated fund of nearly £llO,OOO, while its existing policies of £960,000 are distributed over more than 5,000 lives, there is no doubt of the Provident Clerks' office maintain ing the position it has ncrw assumed in the very front rank of assurance institutions. It is gratify ing, too, to find the care and judgment, as well as the integrity and uprightness of the management, have won the unanimous approval and confidence of this large constituency.

PAIR-OARED RACE FOR SILVER OARS AND RUDDER. A very gamely-contested pair-oared race was rowed yes terday for the above prizes, over the course between Batter sea and Wandsworth-meadows. The following were the results : Blue 1 Mr. Kennett. . I Mr. Spencer. A. Smith, coxswain. Red Mr. Greenfell. 1 Mr. Mitchell. C. Thompson, coxswain. White Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Franklin. T. Hayward, coxswain. White won the draw for choice of station, and took the Middlesex side. Blue were the favourites at starting, the odds of 5 and 6 to 4 being laid pretty freely. The umpires and a referee having been appointed, they got off very evenly together at a clipping pace, and in that position continued rowing to Cremorne Gardens, where Red, by extraordinary rowing, drew their stern setting thawl level with the nose of Blue's boat, and at Kensington-creek were a clear length and a half ahead, Blue heading White by about three quarters of a length, where they continued only for a few pulls, White again becoming nearly level with them, Red having a clear lead of four lengths at the White Hart. The weather was very showery, and the water in some parts too lumpy for light wager boats, the wind blowing a "dead noser" down the reach but they rowed very gallantly through it. Blue then gradually stole upon Red, and after a close and interesting race, succeeded in wresting the lead from them, and drew their boat two clear lengths in advance, and seemed to be going away from their opponents, who, however, rowed a fine stern race for the remainder of the distance, Blue only defeating them by a length and a half. White rowed very gallantly, but never stood a chance of overhauling their opponents after they had passed Wandsworth-pier. TREATY WITH JAPAN. (From a Supplement to Tuesdays Gazette.)
