The directors have succeeded in establishing an excellent system of agency, which they feel confident will turn out efficient, and pro duce valuable results, but still the unpaid and earnest agency of the members themselves, if it can only be secured. will far exceed all other means of obtaining business. If every member can bo made to feel that to introduce one, two, three, or more of his circle of friends to become assured at the London Mutual, is to aid in consolidating his own interests by building up the society, whilst it, at the same time, benefits hisfriends by inducing them to pro videtho present b onus , am pl e as it is, is what may be expected at the next vsims faoolnlr comparedthe i their with families, di Messrs. Margetson, Chambers, and Davis go out of office as direct ors by rotation, but are eligible, and offer them selves, and your directors earnestly recommend them for re-election. The society has safely passed through the perils of in fancy, and is now placed in a state of permanent security. The funds provided to meet all claims upon it are far more than adequate to the purpose. Every month those funds will be augmented, and the directors refer to the testi mony of the consulting actuaries as fully justifying the expectation that by a patient continuance in the same course of caution and economy which they have hitherto pursued, aided by, if possible, increased energy on the part of the directors, mem bers, and agent s , thi s soc i e ty w ill speedily be raised to a very high position among the life assurance offices of the empire.

STAMPED 5D' presence . o these eminent professional gentlemen, in order that they might tte the result of the examination they had upon their own -ninds, in a.dditibn to that i n _ _ I the - able report which had just been read ; and with the permission of the meeting he wourl call upon Mr. Neison to address them upon the su!:ject. Mr. Hux (a proprietor) objected, on the point of order, that in all such cases the adoption at the report should be moved before any statement was made or dis cussion arose upon it. The CHAIRMAN explained that he had 'adopted that course in the interest of the meeting if:self, inasmuch as he wished, before moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, that they ehould have the advantage of a full explanation of the beds upon which the valua tion rested from impartial and competelitoersons. This view of the subj6ct-having been sustained by the whole of the meeting, with the exception cf Mr. Hux, Mr. NEISON proceeded, at some leegth, to explain the result of his examination upon his Gent mind. It had fully satisfied him that the society was in a:most prosper ous condition. In fact, it was not possible to subjeet the affairs of the society to a more severe test than bad been done by Mr. Laundy. It would have been easy for him, with the example-of many flourishing societies, to have adopted a very different basis of calculation, by which the balance available for valuation would have been largely Mere sled, without subjecting himself or the society to any imputation of exaggeration. But he thought that Mr. Laundy had taken 8 better course. In the first place, he had assumed an interest of 3/. per cent, upon the capital; whereas he might have assumed 3i or 4 per cent. In the latter, he would have presented their affairs as several ehodsand pounds better on the credit side than he had .done, and many other offices and high commercial houses would have been inclined to take the other assumption as a Torfect;y safe one. He thought, however,' the basis assumed was pre ferable, because, though at present they might be able, when their capital was comparatiyely small, to obtain 5 per cent. ; yet, in future years, when it would be certain to largely increase, tlit'y would - find it difficult to obtain more than 3 or 4 per cent. ' • and a larger portion of it would be in the hands of agents, without interest being receivable upon it, although, for the purposes of calculation, the actuary should include it the moment it was due. It was not only pos sible, but highly probable, that a larger interest would be realised ; but he thought Mr. Laundy had acted pru dently in estimating the lowest seas. (Hear.) Again, he thought that Mr. Laundy had done right in assuming that the rate of mortality, in future, would be that of the whole community ; because, though at present they might be assuring a select or a superior class of lives, be believed that the tendency of assurance was to carry all companies in that direction, when the tables of mortality for the whole community must be the basis of calcula tion. There was another point of scrieus importance. The society had a revenue of 12,0001. a year, or there abouts, at pres:mt, a sum which left them a margin of some 15 or 20 per cent. over what was necessary to cover all current liabilities. In future years that margin would become of great importance as the revenue of the so• ciety increased. He might state that the Law Life Office had, in the seven years preceding the last, saved upwards of 700,0001. from this source, and in the seven years just ended between 700,0001. and 800,0001. more had been saved, which was a gigantic sum, over all expenses. (Hear.) He had carefully in vestigated the whole affairs of the society, and he bad no hesitation in expressing his fullest confidence in the principles which had been assumed, and in the perfect safety of the present dividend and valuation. The busi ness had been most economically conducted. But upon that point he must say that it was a question whether a more liberal expenditure would not give greater returns to the society. If they spent, for instance, 2,5001. a year in getting 2,5001. worth of new business, and an in creased expenditure of 2,5001. more, or 5,0001. in all, would bring them in new business to the amount of 6,0001., it was clear that they would gain 1,0001. a year. The policy of the directors had been to reduce expendi ture, and that year it did not exceed 1,3001. ; but other offices which pursued the opposite c - mrse had found that it increased their revenue in a much greater rate, and he would leave the suggestion to the consideration of the directors and the meetin g . After some further state ments of a similar nature , Mr. Neison concluded by ex pressing his own perfect confidence that the state of the society would have fully warranted the declaration of a much larger bonus, while he commended the prudence of the course adopted. Mr. J. JONES, in a short speech, said the subject had been treated in so exhaustive a manner by Mr. Neison, that there was nothing left for him to add, save that he fully endorsed every statement that had been made as to the safety and prudence of the valuation. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the report, and congratulated the members upon the statements they had just heard. At the same time he was bound to say that the directors believed they were fully justified in keeping down what was in their own power, namely, the expenditure of the society, as much as they could, consist ently with efficiency. Last year they had been enabled to reduce it 2501. by paying off the temporary loan, for which they had ample means, and they did not see the propriety_ of paying 5 per cent. or a loan, while their own bankers , had gradually reduced interest from 4 to 2 f l , per cent. With respect to their fina,noial.pesitioq;:erhey stood that day with the assets mentioned in the balance-sheet of 28,0001., with only a claim of 221. 108. against them, of which 211. was unclaimed original capital. (Hear.) If they proceeded in the same ratio the valuation and bonus in 1857 must be much larger, but it was danger ous to prophecy on these matters. Since the commence ment they had paid off 22 claims with a sum of 4,7201., ,and, he need not say, with how much advantage to the widow and fatherless. The reversionary bonuses de clared that day amounted to 291 per cent. upon the net premiums, and the bonuses on reduction of premium to 27 per cent. Upon such a gratifying proof of progress it was not necessary for him to enlarge. The society had overcome its early difficulties, it was now established on a secure and satisfactory basis, and he therefore had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. The Rev. Mr. LEWIS expressed the very great satisfac tion he had in seconding the motion, not only on account of the interest he felt in life assurance generally, from the benefit it conferred upon the community, but from the exceedingly frank, candid, and satisfactory explanations which had been tendered as to the condition and pro speets of -he society. Mr. Hux then asked a number of questions relative to the accounts, and to matters of detail, with the view of showing that the expenditure was too large in proportion to the business transacted, This gave rise to a lengthened discussion. The CHAIRMAN said the books, in which all the items referred to were entered, could be b r ought into the room, and read seriatim, if the meeting w ished if. This proposal was, however, met with x negative, to which there was but one dissentient. Mr. Hux then moved an amendment to the effect that three members should be appointed a committee to exa mine all books, papers, and records, and that the adop tion of the report should be postponed until the 3d of August, to receive the report of that committee. The amendment fell to the ground for want of a seconder, and the original resolution was then agreed to, with one dissentient. The Rev. W. LEASK moved, and J. cog , jun. , Esq., seconded—" The members present tender to the direc tors their hearty thanks for their judicious management of the society's affairs, and offer to them their congratu lations on the very prosperous position of the society ; at the same time they pledge themselves, and invite the absent members to join them in such pledge, that they will use their efforts to extend the business of the office, by inducing their friends and connexions to take out policies of assurance." The Rev. W. ICIRKIIS moved, and T. B. GODDARD, Esq., of Cheltenham, seconded—" That J. S. Margetson, Esq., T. Chambers, Esq., M.P., and Joseph Davis, Esq., being the retiring directors, under the deed o f settlement, and the board recommending those gent l emen for re election, that they be re-elected accordingly." J. S. Margetson, Esq., T. Chambers, Esq., M.P., and Joseph Davis, Esq., the retiring directors, were then re-elected ; as were the auditors, Messrs. E. Fox and H. Brett. The CHAIRMAN said that he could not allow the vote to pass without saying that the directors were under very deep obligations to those gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN proposed a vote of thanks to the trus tees, whose services were performed gratuitously, and in a manner that entitled them to the grateful acknowledg ments of the proprietors. Carried unanimously. Mr. Davis moved a vote of thanks to the secretary, whose onerous duties were perfor m ed in a manner that could not fail to give general sat i sfaction , He was a gentleman of great ability, perse ver ance , and industry ; and he (Mr. Davis) felt that the s ociety wns deeply in debted to him for his very valuable ser v i ces. ( H ear.) The motion also included the medical officers and solici tors to the society. The CHAIRMAN begged to second the motion ; and he did so because no one knew so well as himself how much they were indebted to those officers. The secretary, as an actuary, stood as high as any man in the metropolis ; and the medical officers had shown the most skilful and diligent attention to their duties. The motion was carried by acclamation ; and the meeting terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.

The last flower exhibition of the season took place yesterday at the Botanical Garden's, Regent's-park. Among the visitors were the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelits, the Duke of Cambridge, and vari ous other members of the nobility. The show of flowers was abundant and beautiful, and there was a good col lection of stove and greenhouse plants. Among the orchids were several new and handsome varieties. The fruit tent was abundantly supplied. The grapes and peaches were fine, but strawberries and cherries had evidently suffered from the dry hot weather, and were small. A dwarf cherry tree shown was well laden with fruit, and a cucumber vine, trained in a moderate-sized pot, bearing six large cucumbers, was observed as a no velty. Among the cut flowers were many fine pinks and roses. The following is a list of the prizes which were awarded :—Extra Gold Medal.—Mr. May, gardener to Mr. H.

A FOIINDLING.—On the 15th of last month an infant, about two months old, was left at the gate of the Shore ditch workhouse, at midnight, in a basket, with a note and 2s. 6d. The following is a copy of the note :—" Sir, I am sorry to say that necessity drives me to this act. I am not cruel to my own child, and so I will prove. My husband is gone to the Crimea, and, please God, when he returns I will take my child again. lam sorry that I must go to service, and I will give 21. 6d. a week.

Camp before Sebastopol, June 22, 1855. It is no use my attempting to tell you what was done or doing on the 18th. W e f a il e d, I f ear, a l toget h er, and with great loss. There was a complicated plan of at tack, of the success of which I always had doubts. Had 70,000 men been let loose at the place at an appropriate time and at all points, with no other word of command than go-head at a certain signal, I do believe the place would have been taken with a loss of from 7,000 to 10,000 killed and wounded, and this would have been about the proportionate loss in such a number in any hard-fought engagement. Still the loss in such a mode of attack might have been less than even our loss on the 18th, for the Russians might not have withstood the onset of such a host ; but wh;:a they saw driblets of only 400 coming here and there and straight at their strongest points, they natu rally felt confidence in their superiority of numbers and position. During the flag of truce on the 19th, a Rus sian officer, speaking,to one of ours of the attack of the Redan, said, "How could you think of attacking such a plaee with 400 men ? Your men are indeed lions, but your officers must be donkeys." Our Second Brigade took a cemetery and a house near the town, which we still hold at a considerable loss in killed and wounded every 24 hours. I cannot hear or form an opinion as to what is to be our next step. Several generals and others are becoming very tired and dis gusted, and are likely to lersve. I wish to goodness I could get clear of the business too. CHARGE OF ROBBING A DEAD BODY.-0n Wednesday, at the Bucks Quarter Sessions, Mr. Thomas Tibbetts, of Buckin , l - :am, a builder in a most extensive way of busi ness, and Wm. Leeds, a man in his employ, were charged with stealing a shroud of the value of 15s. The court was densely crowded. The prisoners were defended by Serjeant Wilkins, with whom were Mr. Power and Mr. Lucas. It appeared that Mr. Tibbetts had been em ployed by a draper at Buckingham to make a coffin for the wife of Mr. Morris, a tradesman. The coffin was taken borne by Tibbetts and his man Leeds, who were directed to screw the body down. At this time two nurses were in the room, but Tibbetts would not screw the coffin down until they had left. From something that transpired the coffin was subsequently uncovered, and the flannel shroud was found to have beeq taken away, it having, before the coffin was screwed down, been seen lying on the body. The defendant Tibbetts, when spoken to on the subject, merely said that he had com mitted a thoughtless act. It appeared that the shroud was almost useless when taken off the body.—Mr. Ser jeant Wilkins made a forcible address to the jury, con tending that the accused had no felonious intent, but that the body of deceased was so offensive that they could not make use of the shroud. He called a num ber of witnesses, including several magistrates, who gave the defendant Tibbetts a very high character.—The Chairman summed up very favourably for the prisoners, and the jury, after being locked up till six o'clock, pro nounced a verdict of " Not guilty." WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE.—A report from the en gineer, as to the progress and present state of the new bridge at Westminster, was published yesterday. The report, which emanates from Mr. Thomas Page, is dated June 18, 1855. The contract requires the com pletion of the works by the Ist of June, 1857. The tem porary works for the service of the bridge were com menced in May, 1854, consisting of platforms at the Bridge-wharf, on the Surrey side of the river, two large platforms on the north and south sides of the bridge, opposite the blocked-up arches, and the hoarding for the bridge, and the piles, girdings, and framing for the travellers. The last-named work, as it precedes the piling for the piers, is still in progress. The driv ing of the first elm bearing pile was commenced on the 3d of July, 1854, and the driving of the iron 1 piles and plates, which commenced in September, has been progressing regularly. The works provided for fixing are 77 granite slabs for the facing and foun dations, a quantity of granite for the plinths of the piers, 72 iron piles, and 104 iron plates for the first 33 feet of the bridge. The casting of the ribs is in progress, and the wrought-iron segments forming the central parts of the ribs are being made at Mr. Mare's premises at Black wall. A total delay of two months is attribincipal *to the late severe winter ; beyond this, the p causes of delay have been the difficulty of sufficient experiencedr by the contractor in obtaining bearing piles_ of the ground in iron piles and plates ; the loose st of driving '- length and scantling ; secondly, in the driving of the the Surrey abutment, and the expediency .th e piers, ad ditional piles over the area c ent owing to the substratum not affording th resist ance.

Much inconvenience and dissatisfaction has been created among the principal export houses of the City by a sudden announcement from the Post-office that the advantage hitherto enjoyed of transmitting commercial circulars by post under the newspaper stamp lawis withi s drawn. Annexed is a copy of ..a wino:141004ot Which tins in collseqnetioe; Veen . .addressed that 'departs • • mint "Lime-street, July 2. "Sir,—ln compliance with your advice, that we should put on paper the reasons which exist for a continuance of the privilege which has been so long conceded by the Go vernment to Price Currents' and Circulars,' of passing to the colonies and foreign parts by means of the newspaper stamp, we beg to submit to you our belief that, instead of injuring the revenue of the Post-offiee—which must be the reason for the obstruction—they increase it. "These Price Currents' are entirely open, never con taining an allusion to any transaction between the parties ; not a word is ever written in or on them but the address. They gi7e general information of the position and prices of the various articles to which they refer, producing orders for goods, and consequently insuring postal communica tion, which but for them would be far less frequent. "We beg also to state that our 'Price Currents' and Circulars' are literally newspapers, quite at much as is the city article in the T mes. They do not, it is true, often contain political news, yet it would be easy to show that they have done ;7ood service to the cause of free trade, by their exhibiting its principles during the struggle to obtain it, and that they are still advocating its advantages ; but they contain `news' to the mercantile and commercial world, of the variations in value, the excess or diminution of the imports to which they relate, and, the general aspect of trade, which to their readers are news of perhaps more importance than the collision of armies; and it is not too much to say that to these 'Price Currents' and Circulars,' extenCeel es has been their circulation, the cation is in a consid, degree indebted for that extraordinary rapid result < c .;o.trade seen in the magnitude of our exports. " te add that the whale of the merchants and brokers i u the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane were much surprised at the decision of the Post-orfice on this subject, as it is a - retrogradation which a free-trade Government could never think of enacting. and which they believe must have been dopted without investigating all its bearings. " Bevieg, therefore, a reconsideration of the subject, we are, sir, your obedient servants, " T. J. AND T. POWELL. " To Frederick Hill, Esq." CIVIL LIST PENSIONS.

PEMBROKE YARD.—In consequence of the great d e . wand for small class vessels, the energies of this estab lishment have almost entirely been withdrawn from the large ships, and applied to the former. Among these, a despatch boat, a vessel of promised great speed, is to be built with all possible quickness. Her keel was laid on Saturday last, and a powerful array of artisans will shortly be employed upon her. Notwithstanding this change of tactics, the blacksmith are employed from 6 a.m. till 10 p.m. on the Repulse, though she is not likely to be launched for some time, her ironwork being in a very backward state. The contract for the erection of gasworks and main of pipes has just been taken, and the contract specifies the arsenal is to be lighted by the let of October. This will be a great accommodation to the esta' , l, :,:nent. This is at present the only dockyard that produces its own gas. The enlargement of the dry dock is prog ressing rapidly, as is the- formation of the new slips and boat --,., :.. .~ ~~" ~, r
