BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The =ulna' meeting of this society was held on Thursday , at 37, New Bridge•street; James Low, Esq., in the ch. sir. The Se cretary, Mr. Francis Clowes, read the follow ing repn "The directois have much pleasure in laying their sixth annual report before the members; first, because they have to announce an increase of receipts approaching twice the increase of any preceding year; secondly, be cause they have to propose another triennial return to the members_ " It -a - needless to enlarge again upon the excellence of the mutes tl principle, which this company Naas the first to adopt in a national fire office. It is now fully understood to be set" ire assurance at the lowest possible cost. The growing eopreciation of this great principle by the public is Emilie ieatly shown by the steady increase of its in surances - with this company —an increase whose testimony is so mu eh the more satisfactory since it has been obtained by the .ordinary exertions of the directors, members, and age nts, unaided by unusual advertising, and other exnensi-ro modes of seeking notoriety. "The entire premiums received during each of the two triennial periods now terminated have been, for the first, 3,9511. 783. 2d. ; for the second, 12,9811. 18s. ld. For the year tcrniinating the 30th of June 1854, the total receipts were 10,7 18/. 15s. 3d., o f which 5,5961. s s . Gd, were ppre miuma and 5,1221. N. 9d. duty. " Th P oexesult i s that the receipts of the last three years have much aaore than trebled those of the first three years ; that the increase of the last year has more than equalled that of the seconc . and third together, and not fallen much short of cqualiag the combined increase of the fifth and sixth years. "Then umber of new policies issued during the past year was 2,505 for 1,295,679/. " Such a rate of increase in the receipts and business justifies t he view adopted by the directors in 18 - 4, of mak ing triune dal returns from the commencement of the com pany, anc t spreading a portion of the formatory expenses over a lam nber of years, thereby giving to the early insurers a share in the advantages of the mutual principle. The di rectors, t sereforo, propose for your adoption a return of 124 per .a.:nt. on their premiums to such of the policy-hol ders as l tad been insured with the company for threeyears and ups nrds at midsummer, 1854. " At Ilia next division of profits, in 1837, all who com menced ixesurance with this coin zany too late to participate this year, will have a return on the whole amount of pre ' miums )33 id by them up to midsummer, 1857. "One. of your auditors. Mr. Robert Latter, who has long enjoyed she confidence 'of the company, as well as the esteem of all who knew him, has left this country perma nently for New Zealand, and his place has therefore to be filled up. Your other auditor, Mr. J. W. Pewtress, re tires els. :by rotation, but is eligible for re-election. " Foi tr .)1' the directors, Mewl. Jas. Low, Thos. Miers, Thos. Olt ey, and J. Wiloashurst, retire also by rotation, but are el igible for re-election. " The 1 ,sses during the year, all of which were promptly and satimE ectorily met, amounted to 2,9071. 18s 6d. " On ru viewing the past progress of the company and the year ju: it concluded, the directors can therefore appeal with cor didence to their numerous members and agents to exert th etnselves to the utmost in obtaining business for the soc: lety. The affairs of the company are conducted with the ~strictest regard to economy; its businessis rapidly increasi ; all claims have been met without delay; and this vel7y year exemplifies, even at this early stage, the advante. , ,go of its great distinguishing principle. With such facts to sit ate, if each insurer would endeavour to bring the company another, he could hardly fail to succeed, and the result tux •uld be a doubled business next year." The Ci TAIIIMAN—I am sure you will agree with me that it is quite unnecessary for me to go into detail in submittir ig the report and balance-sheet for your adop tion. 1 cm the more glad of this, because lam but just recover g from a long illness, and am in such an en feebled et ate, that I should not have been with you had I not apre•ehended that my absence might have been mis construed.. I cannot help feeling considerablegratification in asking you to adopt the report and balance-sheet, because it happens that I was one of the first who united with a body of gentlemen in making a rather bold expe riment, with a view, not of aggrandising ourselves, but of benefiting the public, by giving them the advantage of insurance at the lowest possible rate, and that on a safe and sound principle. When the society was registered, an old friend of mine, connected with one of the proprietary companies, said to me, smiling, " Well, a: will give you a twelvemonth." But I have to congratulate you, gentlemen, that we have now ar rived at our sixth anniversary—(hear' hear)—and I think our experience h as s h own that the principle we have ada,2ted is a sound one. It was, certainly, a bold exneritne -it ; for, in carrying out any new undertaking, difficultie : must arise that are not anticipated in the starting. For ourselves, we soon found out that starting a society that was likely to grow into considerable mag nitude entailed great responsibility on the directors. We met that responsibility as honourable men. We hap pened fortunately to enjoy the good opinion of the pub. lie ; for although we are not men of great titl e , we are all, I believe, known to be men of standing and in tegrity. (Hear.) But another difficulty presented itself. We were asked, " Suppose there are any serious losses, what security have we that they will be met 1" We felt the force of that question ; and, in order to set it at rest, and to enable the directors to push the busi ness with more confidence, we raised a guarantee fund of 200,01001. (for we thought the fund should be an ample one), and made a call of 10 per cent. ; so that any man. might see that, by insuring with us, be would be as safe as though he insured in the Sun or the Phoenix, or any of the oldest and richest offices. (Hear, hear.) At the same time it appeared to ua that the establislunent of a guarantee fund was not in any way innovating on the strict mutuality of our society ; and for this reason :—the money must come from some source in the event of losses ; and those who advance the money must, as a matter of boldness, be paid for it. But there was this advantage in adopting a gua rantee fund over a proprietary company. A proprie tary company remains so fur ever ; not so our so ciety - because, whenever we get rich enough— which in time I hope we shall do—our position will be this. We shall come to you and say, " Gentlemen, we have now twenty, or thirty, or fifty thousand pounds as a reserve fund ; and it is for you to pay off your gua rantee fund, if you choose." You will have to decide that question, not the directors. You may possibly think that the present arrangement has worked very well, and that it had better not be disturbed ; or you may think otherwise. The matter must be looked at seriously, so as, to decide whether we shall pay off the guarantee fund or throw the advantage into the hands of a future generation. You will see by the report that we have been making a steady progress from year to year, and that our increase of premiums has during the twelve months nearly doubled that even of the preceding year. That, I think, shows that the prin ciple is a sound one. You will all see at once that the more business we do the greater will be our pro fits, as the expenses do not increase in proportion to the business. 'fhe rapid success of the society, therefore, rests with yourselves. You know the effect of adding members to a society. Each added member may bring another, and thus there is a continued progress. It is very gratifying to me that I am surrounded by men in whom we can have perfect confidence. This is riot the case in all societies, but it is so with us. Our friends are men of integrity and usefulness, men who live uo tf or their own benefit only, but f or the benefit of society. (Hear, hear.) Let rue urge you then to contribute as far as you can to the support of this society. In doing so you will be benefitting yourselves. Already we are en abled to make a return of 121 per cent. to the insurers. This, remember, is not, as sonic might at first suppose, 121 per cent. upon this last year's premium, but upon the three year's premium, amounting therefore to 374 per cent.—a thing not to be despised. For a long time I paid 701. or 30/. a-year for insurances, and I should say that for 40 years I never bad a single sixpence re turned •, but consider what 1 should have received if I had had the privilege of insuring in a mutual society like this ! (Hear.) I beg to move the adoption of the report • and cash accounts. The motion was then put, and unanimously agreed to- The following directors, who retired by rotation, were then re-elected ; Messrs. James Low, Thomas Miers, Thomas Olney, J. Wilinhurst. Mr. JAMES BLACKETT suggested that, in addition to the statement in the report, a specific resolution should be moved agreeing to the proposed return of 12i per cent. Mr. ISAAC DOXSEY thought such a resolution world be more likely to attract attention than a mere state ment in a report, and it was important that the public should know that there was a society in which they could get a liberal proportion of their premiums re turned. The CHLIRMAN said he saw no objection to such a resolution. Mr. BLACKETT then moved— ‘Th; --- tl;itiineetiWoordially agrees with the recom mendation of the directors that 12i per cent. on th ei r premiums be returned to the insurers. Mr. DOXBRY seconded the reso l u tion, which was unani mously adopted. Mr. J. W. Pewtress was re-elected as one of the auditors for the ensuing year. Mr. TURRET proposed Mr. Isaac .ox sey as audit or i n the place of Mr. Robert Latter, who, it was stated, bad left the country for New Zealand. Mr. CUTRIARTSON said, that, when Mr. L a tt er l e f t the country, the directors felt that they could not too highly appreciate his character as a man of business and integrity, and that it would be highly desir a bl e th at some auditor should be chosen in his place who would perform his duties with equal determination and zeal. The nomination of Mr. Doxsey by one of the members (not by the Board) gave the directors great pleasure. He was a man of good business habits, possessing great powers of penetration, and likely to prove an active and valuable officer of the society. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. DOXSEY thanked the meeting for electing hikn, and stated that he would endeavour to fulfil as earnestly, dili gently, and honestly as he could, the duties devolving upon him. Mr. austini, PRATT said he rejoiced to see the Chair man present after his lengthened illness, and hoped that he would be able to adopt the motto of Lord Palmer ston, "To be bent, not broken." He (Mr. Pratt) had lately been reading the mottoes of some English noble men, and some of them appeared to him to be peculiarly applicable to the Society. The motto of the Duke of Devonshire was, " Secure i n cau ti on. " T hat was most valuable for a fire company, and he believed it was one on which the directors acted. They were exceedingly anxious to be secure, and were, therefore, cautious. They had no doubt declined much business, though that was d not stated in the report. Such a circumstance formed the real security of the members, and was a gu aran tee that the business of the society was properly c on duc ted. from (Rear.) The motto of Lord Lyndhurst, who rose fr om all the ranks to sit upon the Woolsack, was "B eyond tto progress :" which might be taken as the f n ts o of the I society, so rapid had been the increase behind."o The The Earl of Selkirk's motto was " Never and , . business. i Society had never yet proved to be behind, he !Je 1 lieved it never would ; for the directors meant to progrese until the Sun itself would not be able to outshine them. (Laughter.) Another motto applicable to the society was that of Viscount Sydney, "Right and forward. " The principle of the company was aright one. A mutual society did not want to take more money from the pub lic for fire insurance than was essential. It took the money from the insurers, managed their business, and then handed back whatever surplus remained. Ho trusted that the company would successfully pursue the same course, for many years, with increasing benefit to all connected with it. Mr. Pratt concluded by moving : "That this meeting congratulates the public on the sig. nal success which has attended the formation of The British Empire Fire Assurance Company on the mutual principle • that it views with approbation the steady an d economical, yet diligent, manner in which its business has been conducted, and calls upon all its numerous fellow insurers to co-operate zealously with the directors in mak ing known the merits and advantages of the company." Mr. W. GnosEß seconded the resolution, and said he thought when Mr. Pratt set up his carriage and his coat of arms, he should adopt as his motto, " Never at a loss." (Laughter.) Mr. WATSON recommended the members to make known to their friends the advantages of the society, and induce them to support it, for the greater the amount of business transacted the greater would be the profits to each member, the expenses of management not increasing proportionately with the increase of busi ness. The increase had already been very rapid, especie ally considering the competition existing among the dif ferent societies ; but he hoped that the increase of the past year would be far outstripped in succeeding years. A conversation then arose on the best means of ans nouncing the annual meeting, after which The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. JAS. BLACKETT said, that considering the very excellent results of the society, and the advantages that had accrued to the members from the original concep tions and subsequent exertions of the chairman and directors, it would be wanting in the meeting not to tender them its best th anks. When the principle was first parti cular the Members were 'an". must have seen that it enunciated , chairman . in gr a e gh atly indebted. (Hear, hear.) w em ho on t t o h l , d d t id h the octh an - adm un ira cr b a l t e ed o , ne e , v a er n y d sn o r t the only di ffi culty would u : i in carrying it out.

TT — (3 begged to move— " That the cordial thanks of the meeting be given to the chairman and board of directors for the skill, ability, and integrity with which they bad managed the busi ness of the society." (Applause.) Mr. LINDS&T, in seconding the motion, said he was deeply sensible of the importance of the directors' la bours. When he first joined the society, he did not do so as a matter of business alone —though he bad 80080 enough to see that it was wrong to pay into a proprie tary company and get nothing, while a company co-ex isted which would return him a portion of his premium —but he had pleasure also in associating himself with men whose principles he esteemed and respected. Mr. ISAAC DOXSEY said, he wished to support the re solution, and to express his entire confidence in the directors, and in the chairman in particular. His (Mr. Doxsey's) continued acquaintance with the Society had only strengthened his conviction that they had the right men to conduct their business. (Hear, hear.) There was a point to which he wished to call the attention of the meeting and of the directors. An idea had gone forth into society (and he had himself met with it in recommending persons to insure with the company), that there was considerable risk in insuring in a mutual society. The objection had been perse veringly put forward by proprietary companies in this way : " You can insure with us without taking any risk, because we are not mutual," leaving it to be in ferred by a logical deduction, that insurance with a mutual society was attended with risk. Now, he (Mr. Doxsey) thought it would be advisable to put it promi nently forward that there is no such risk, as a standing denial of the covert insinuations which were constantly being made as to the unsoundness of their principhis. The motion having been unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting far its kind expression of confidence and good feeling. He con gratulated the meeting on the excellent temper which it displayed ; though he not see how it could be other wise than good tempered, seeing that there was nothing to find fault with. It was only a proof that they were sensible men, and, being such, the directors appreciated the more highly the vote of thanks which they had paused, as they were able to form a correct judg. ment respecting the conduct of the business. The directors would endeavour to pursue the same course which they had hitherto adopted with a view to ex tend the business of the society. The success or the company, however, must rest mainly with the members. He should like to se them in frequent communication with the agents, and doing their best to bring business to the company. The subject of agency was a most important one. The society had 600 or 700 agents distributing all over the country ; and it would be difficult to estimate their value. He (the chairman) had the highest expectations from the efforts of agents so carefully selected in future years. The proceedings then terminated. THE CLIPPER GRAPESHOT. The _i - Vele York Beral2l, speaking of the clipper Grapeshot, about which there have been so many rumours, rays : The whole country, and Cuba in particular, has been in a state of excitement for some months past on account of this vessel, and all sorts of rumours have gone abroad as to her mission to southern latitudes. She cleared from this port with a cargo of " American hardware," as it was called, but which was known to be muskets, to the number of thirty or forty thousand, and other imple ments of war. Such a load as this justified the supposi tion that her errand smelt of " powder and ball," and that she was the omen of revolutions, rebellions, de thronernents, and civil wars somewhere, but the exant spot could not be definitely fixed upon. Rumour pointed to Cuba, to Venezuela, and Mexico. Spanish consuls and Spanish representatives throughout the country, as soon as her departure was known, became " wide awakes," and for a while Pezuela, the Governor-General of Cuba, sat uneasily in the chair of state. From New Orleans a vessel and messenger was specially despatched to notify Pezuela of the arrival of this mysterious and warlike craft. Parties interested felt that thirty thou rand 'muskets would equip a large army, and not at all calculated to lessen their fears ; every now and then the press would descant upon the quality of the guns, giving forth that " Captain such a one bad tried them, and said they were good enough for any people to fight with ;" " they were lately scoured up far use . ;" they would no doubt do good service upon a battle-field ;" " that Kossuth him self had approved them, having bought 40,000 of the same sort at two d o ll ars a p i ece ." Th ese sly hints to loyal Spaniards being in effect much like dooming anyin to death and stopping to praise the steel before striking the fatal blow. The Grapeshot was built about eight months ago in Portland, Maine, and intended for the Australian trade. She came to New York soon after she was launched, and last winter, while lying in the East river with a cargo of flour for Australia, the fields of ice floating through the East river cut her open, and sunk her to the bottom. When she was raised, George Law purchased her, and sent her on the southern tour, from which sh e just comes home. She is clipper-built, and sits as beau tifully upon the water as the " winners" in the regatta c:ub. The famous Maria does not ride the water with more grace and ease than the Grapeshot. This vessel is 400 tons burden, is staunchly built ; hull long, nar. row, and black. She has certainly a warlike appear. ance, for her figure-head a cannon, her signal-flag is a cannon, and her stern decorations are cannon. Her masts are huge, and calculated for a heavy press of sail ; she is copper fastened, and registered A No. 1. On her southern passage she carried eighteen men—officers, crew, and all. Captain Baxter was the business man to sell the muskets, and Captain Ryder was the sailing captain and commander of the vessel. This famous ves. sel now lies a few hundred yards off the Battery, where the curious c an h ave a peep at her. She will e , known. by her signal-flag—a cannon on a white groundwork. fICENSED VICTUALLERS' DEFENCE ASSOCIATION.-- A numerous and influential meeting of licensed vic tuallers was held yesterday at the Glo'ster Tavern, Sloane street, Chelsea -Mr. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, in the chair. The object of the meeting was to form a defence association, with the view of obtaining a repeal of the recent enactment restricting the hours a* which public-houses shall be opened on Sundays. The Chairman, Mr. Van Buren, of the Haymarket, Mr. King, of the Ordnance Arms, York-road, Mr. Couchman, Mr. Symes, Mr. Forster, of the Jerusalem Tavern, and Mr. Duncombe, addressed the meeting ; and it was then resolved that a meeting of members of the society' should meet on Thursday next, at two o'clock, in the saloon o f D rury -lane Theatre, to arrange preliminaries for the general meeting. JUST as, THE ' LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND THE licensing d ay, LEEDS.-- Wednesday last was the usual ceaan r t !h for ne w t _e l or Brewster Sessions, at Leeds.
