The Christ Church dinner last night was the crowning event of the festivities that have atic6nded the inaugura tion of the Chancellor. The Earl of Derby is himself a member of that collegiate body, and it was to be ex pected that an institution so proud of its renown as the head of alt the colleges of Oxford would offer a brilliant reception to one of its alumni so highly distinguished. The old hall, raised by the munificence of Wolsey for the adornment of his favourite college, was occupied by a distinguished and select company of more than a hun dred visitors, consisting chiefly of members, besides the personal friends of Lord Derby. It derived additional lustre from the presence of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Mr. Gladstone, who is a Christ Church man, having come from London to attend the dinner. The banquet overflowed with good cheer and luxuries of all sorts, and the tables were decked with a sumptuous display of plate. Dr. Gaisford, Jean of Christ Church, presided. The speaking throughout was of a com plimentary character, and marked by perfect taste and good feeling. Mr. Gladstone's health was drank with the greatest enthusiasm, and in return ing thanks be adverted gracefully to the facts of the choice of the University having fallen on a Christ Church man, and to the benefits which might be expected to result from the inquiries of the Royal Com mission, which had been issued by Government solely in view of the-advantages that would result, both to the cause of educational culture generally and to academic interests, from widening and purifying the channels of learning. The following wercsthe princikal guests pre sent :--The Vice-Chaneellorp the Matituts of Sailiburk; the Marquis of Chandos, Earl Batkurst, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Shef field, Earl Talbot, Viscount Lewisham, Sir R. H. Inglis, M.P., the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Ox ford, Dr. Jelf, Sir R. Murchison, Lord Stafford, Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Mr. Disraeli, M.P., Mr. Walpole, M.P., Lord Dynevor, the Marquis of Lothian, the Earl of Lincoln, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Lord Valletort, Viscount Fordwich, Lord Redesdale, Lord E. Bruce, Earl Delaware, Sir R. Fraser, the Dean of Peterborough, the Warden of Merton, the Warden of Wadham, the Warden of All Souls, the Principals of Brazenose and New Inn Hall, Dr. Bull, Ogilvie, &c. The masonic ball in the evening was a brilliant though fantastic affair enough, the rage for dancing being not a whit damped by the heavy rain that came on about 9 o'clock. The Town-hall had been gaily fitted up with rich hangings at a cost of 1601., the principal feature of the decorations being the arms of the different colleges and masonic emblems. Lord Derby honoured the ball with his presence between eleven and twelve o'clock, when mirth and enjoyment were at their climax. In the course of yesterday the committee issued twenty ad ditional tickets at three guineas each, the price to be given to the Infirmary. It is satisfactory to learn that the charitable funds of the town will benefit to some ex tent by the celebrations of the week, the collection for the Radcliffe Infirmary at St. Mary's having produced 1291. The list of the company present at the ball in cluded all the elite of the fashionable world now in Ox ford. TIIE OXFORD COMMEMORATION.—See "TILE PRESS" of SATURDAY NEXT, June 11.

TN the summer of I 851 , we had an E xhibition of Art, and the excitement created by this his scarcely abated, when lo ! we are promised an Exhibition of Arms. Chobham-com mon is to furnish us with an uncommon spectacle. This magnificent military fetewill attract thousands from all parts of the kingdom, and will create a ferment of some five weeks dura tion. Special preparations are being made for this chivalric celebra tion; and as fashion will form an essential characteristic of the same, L. HYAM has been on the alert, and has replenished his Establishment with a variety of new styles in gentle men's Summer attire. A light and elegant Over-coat will be almost indispensable on this great occasion. Sultry and showery weather, smoke, clouds of dust, and crowds of spectators may be reasonably calculated upon, and al these conco mitants will render this description of dress above referred to highly requisite. L. Hyam feels no hesitation in pronouncing all the Summer Gar ments which he supplies (Dress Coats, Frock Coats, Oxonian Coats, Lounging Jackets, Trousers. Vests, &c ), as displaying all the excel lence and fashion for which his Establishment (situated in the centre of the City), has ever been pre-eminently distinguished. The sayings which purchasers will realize by L. Hymn's moderate prices will materially counterbalance the expenses which the forth coming military ex hibition ust necesserily incur, and theietbre, on this score also, a purchase m of the proprietor's summer dress is advisable. OBSERVE !—L. IIYAM begs to state that ho has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust “ess carried on by L. lIYAM, where the public can be sapplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of pound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition.

The proceedings of this morning at the Sheldonian Theatre were very much a repetition of those of Tues day, though less noisy and more tame. The procession from the Radcliffe Library to the theatre was not so numerous or brilliant, most of the bishops and a consi derable proportion of the distinguished visitors having left Oxford. The area and galleries were little less crowded than on the previous occasion, though the un der-graduates were not quite so clamorous. At eleven o'clock the Earl of Derby entered and took his scat as Chancellor, accompanied, as before, by the Bishops of Oxford and St. Asaph's, the Earl of Malmeshury, the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Redesdale, Mr. Disraeli, M.P., Mr. Walpole, M.P., Sir J. Pakington, Sir E. L. Bulwer, M.P., and those who were to receive the aca demic laurel.

The next feature of the proceedings, and the only one which must distinguish them from those of Tuesday, was the performance of the Installation Ode, by Mr. Claugh ton, the Professor of Poetry. It is a spirited composi tion, and rises up to, if it does not surpass, the ordinary level of such effusions. It is as follows : RECUT. (Tenor.) " As when a mother home from far clime Welcomes her son, Who in the strife of men for masteries . By bold advent'rous deeds of high omprize Hath well ful6ll'd the promise of his prime— Ev'n thus Oxonia welcomes back to day With plaudits loud and pomp and bright array, One who her fairest mead of praise bath won. —Skilful erewhile to weave the flowers of song, He wand'ring woo'd with soft Virgilian strains, Isis, thy pleasant fields and groves among, The tuneful Nine ; Ahd, duteous, offer'd here at Learning's shrine The first fruits of his sweet poetic pains. " But these delights his ardent goal forbore : For well he knew That whose would achieve a nobler prize And wield a mighty nation's destinies, From heights serene the world's vast field must. view; :Dwell with the pure and just in every ago, Drink in their burning words ; in histey's page The wide far-stretching wondrous past explore; ken, Maxims, countries, laws therewith compare; Trace in th' ungovern'd heart's deprav'd desires Tho wasting fires That desolated cities great and fair; _ In peaceful happy states progressive see The glorious dawn of Truth and Liberty. RECIT. ( Bass.) " Nor yet alone within t hese ancient walls Learnt he this lore ; For ore ho left his old ancestral halls, Hung round with portraits of the good and great, Who in the storied ages long before Imporill'd lauds and life for England's state ; Beheld from donjon keep and turret hoar Spears wave like corn, and streams run red with gOll3 — Oft, as from honoured lips their praise he heard, A spirit stirr'd Within his youthful breast ; he felt the fire Kindle through all his veins, the strong desire To live as they had liv'd, for truth and good, To strive as they had striv'n, ev'n unto blood.

" For who of Stanley's line could ere forget That woful day, Remember'd still in many a mournful lay, When Derby's Earl through Bolton's throngedstrest On a vile palfrey rode, that death to meet, Which he had courted oft on fields of strife, The patriot's meed and crown.

" Not as when erst in Lathom's leaguer'd tower, Knowing that God could curb unrighteous power, Unmov'd she heard the storm of battle roar !

" What sweeter purer joy Can blessed spirits know, * Last words of the Great Earl of Derby, on the scaffold at Bolton le-bicors, Oct. 15, 1651, after be had caused the block to be so turned that his face should look toward the church, saying, " I will look toward Thy sanctuary while I am here; and 1 hope to llve.in Thy heavenly sanctuary for ever hereafter." .

[Tho lines inserted between brackets were not sung.] The ode was set to music by Sir Henry Bishop, the University Professoirentrusic, and performed under his directions by a choir of vocalists, which included Miss Pyne, Miss Dolby, Mdlle. Zerr, Mrs. Endersohn, Miss M. Williams ; Stancligl, Pischek, Gardoni, LockeY, Hobbs, Phillips, &c. The choir, though very select, was rather weak and might with advantage have had its numbers reinforced, and it is-, perhaps unfortunate tkat more of the Oxford singers were not employed. These include some excellent musicians, who are in' continual. practice at the various college chapels, and we under stand that some dissatisfaction has been created among them at their exclusion. After the conclusion of the ode, Mr. Ridding, of Exeter College, read his Latin Essay—" Quibus pneeipue de eausis in artium, libercaium studiis Romani Grcecis viz pares, nedum euperiores, evaserint," to which the Chancellor's prize has been awarded. The Newdigate Prize Poem in English verse, " On the ruins of Egyp tian Thebes," was then recited by Mr. Reynolds, of Exeter College. The supplementary Installation Odes followed ; by Mr. Walker, of Corpus Chrigti College, in Greek verse ; by Mr. Wormald, of Lincoln College, in Latin verse ; by Mr. Bell, of Baliol College, in English verse ; by Mr. Sanderson, of Magdalen Hall, in Greek verse ; and by Mr. Russell, of Magdalen Hall, in Eng lish verse. After the conclusion of the proceedings, the Earl of Derby, who was loudly cheered both on entering and quitting the theatre, returned to Worcester College with the Vice Chancellor. A grand dinner is given to him this evening in the hall of Pembroke College, of which he is official visitor, and the second installation ball takes place in the Town-hall. 1,887 £452,219 29,763 3 1 " By the above statement it will appear that FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY POLICIES HAVE BEEN PAID UPON AND ISSUED SINCE THE LAST MEETING, YIELDING AN ANNUAL INCOME OF 7,8741. 18a 7d. The total number of policies issued during the three pre ceding years, and up to the time of the last annual meet ing, was as follows : Number of policies issued/ 1,679. Ann, income thereof £7,707 3 4 up to May, 1852. Add to these figures the total business of the last (1,520 ii year, viz., from May, 1852. to June, 1853. £15.532 1 11 " And it will be at once perceived THAT IN THE LAST YEAR THE DIRECTORS HAVE EQUALLED THE BUSINESS OF THE THREE PRECEDING YEARS, a circumstance the more remarkable, inashiuch as hitherto each year of the com pany's operation has exhibited similar results; the second year doubling the first, the third year producing as much as the first and second year, and this, the fourth year, pro ducing as much as the three prior years. " The directors congratulate the shareholders upon this statement, and they feel it must he evident to all persons that the proceedings of this company exhibit a marked amount of vitality and success ; and trust that they may be permitted to indulge in the hope that, during the year upon which they are now entering, the same amount of public support and good fortune may be experienced. "By reference to the foregoing figures, it will be seen that the total ANNUAL INCOME OF THE COMPANY AMOUNTS TO 15,5821. ls. 11d., and that the company has issued, in the short space of four years, three thousand two hundred policies. "This large number of policies materially distributes the total amount assured, and at the same tints that it ex hibits and secures connection, it lessens the chance of large losses, by reducing the amount of individual policies. " The force of this proposition is made apparent by the experience of the last four years, inasmuch as the sum of 9501., the total amount paid upon life policies since the commencement of the company, was claimed upon five different policies—thus reducing the average of each loss below 2001. " The directors still find themselves compelled to decline a ci l s a eT tt - erg ' s i c o r n el f on th ll ' a b v u le msa ye o a ff r ere re t and 2 ta s pthroepoexsealis for the assurance in the aggregate of 48,6441. " The large amount of business transacted by the com pany during the past year, the directors attribute to the increased confidence of the public in the management of institution, to the assistance derived from the operations of the fire company, to a better knowledge and appreciation on the part of the public of the principles of life assurance, and to the growing popularity of the guarantee department, —indeed, the sj stem of guarantee established by this com pany has met Is;th most decided approbation from the leading institutions of the country, in proof of which the directors append to this report a list of the companies and societies which nave already accepted the guarantee poli cies of the company, for the honesty . of those whom they have employed in situations ea? pecuniary trust. "The losses during the year have amounted to the sum of 2,1661. Bs. 11(1., 1,6101. Bs. lid., of which has been paid 1 for guarantee claims, leaving the life claims for the year still far below the expected amount, whilst part of the suns paid for guarantee claims may yet ba recovered. At the same time it must be borne in mind, that the company has received comparatively a large amount of premium for its guarantee risks, and that as each year's i isk is met by each year's premium, there is no continuation of liability for the one payment, but each year the account can be balanced, and the directors are in consequence enabled to congratulate the shareholders on the hitherto profitable working of this department ; and they feel assured that by the time of the first valuation of the company's busi ness, the guarantee premium fund will be found in such a position as to materially assist the valuer in the decla ration of profits. " The directors have to remind the shareholders that at the expiration of the next year, the fifth from the date of complete registration, the first investigation will take place of the financial condition of the company, when all those circumstances which affect the soundness of the institution will be strictly and impartially inquired into, and a full and detailed report thereon laid before the proprietors. ' The directors look forward to this event with increas ing satisfaction, fully believing that the result will show the correctness of the principle upon which the company was founded, and the vigour and energy which have cha racterised its management. " The directors have to report that they have secured the services of Mr. Jeukin Jones, one of the vice-presidents of the Institute of Actuaries, as the consulting actuary of the company, a gentleman whose ability in his profession is a sufficient guarantee to the shareholders, policy holders, and the public, that the valuation of the company's affairs will be efficiently conducted. "The directors recommend that the paid-up capital of the company shall bear interest at the rate of 5/. per cent. per annum, and that the same be paid in futu re half yearly. " The register of directors' attendances is placed upon the table, by which it will bo seen that the directors have uniformly attended to the business of, the company, and, in order to show the importance of the regular attendance of the directors, they draw attention to the circumstance that a vast number of proposals are made to the company in each year, the number last year amounting to 1857, or 36 for every week in the year, covering assurances to the extent of 452,2191., or nearly half a million of money, and that a great many of these proposals they are at all times compelled to decline, though not without the fullest investigation; at the same time the directors also have to re mark that, as a consequence of the above circumstance, together with the necessity of vigilance and close inquiry, with each guarantee proposal, the sittings of the board meetings are unusually prolonged and laborious." The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. The union of the assurance and gua rantee principles had been so successful that very few institutions of the kind could show so favourable a re port as theirs. The business done in the year amounted to nearly 8,0001. ; the whole losses were but 12 per cent. on the whole business. On the life busi ness from the commencement of the company there had been a loss only of 5561., scattered over five policies, which showed how carefully the policies were investi gated before they were issued. Under these cir cumstances there was every assurance that the company would be able not only to meet any and every loss which might possibly occur, but also materially to extend the sphere of their operations. Happen what might, there was no fear but that the office could sustain itself, and he would say there was no company in London which could stand upon a more favourable footing. Upon first read ing the report, it had seemed to him that a large expenditure had been incurred upon local agencies ; but he thought, when they came to look into that item, and considering that they had agencies in all the great towns of the kingdom—at Berlin,- Hamburg'', and other Con tinental cities—it would be found that that expenditure was wisely incurred, and that it would produce considerable profits in return. At this moment a Parliamentary committee was sitting on the subject of life assurance, and he thought the shareholders of this office might congratulate themselves on that fact; because, when their turn came to be submitted to examination, theywould pass the ordeal with credit and honour , and would thereby give an additional guarantee for ie prosperity and sta bility of the society. He must congratulate the share holders and policy-holders on the great increase which had lately taken place in their business, and he believed that the excellent proposal of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to deduct the income tax from that part of a man's income which he paid for assurance, would give a greater stimulus to life assurance than had ever yet been [ADVERTISEMENT:]—The Era newspaper of Saturday a I known.

Commodore Henry Eden attended experiments which were carried on between one and two o'clock to-day, at the dockyard landing place with Mr. Parratt's life-boat raft. The invention is very simple, and might be always available on board ship if the hammocks of the crew were made water-tight, and so constructed as to be capable of being inflated in the same manner as an air-bed. The boat experimented with by Mr. Parratt was 27 feet long by about 6 feet breadth of beam, 3 feet 4 inches in depth, and drawing one foot of water. On the outside of the boat four hammock-shaped Indiarubber air-tight cases were lashed, two on each side, and when inflated they gave the boat three times its own natural buoyancy, ren dering it capable of carrying 50 men, who were rowed about by four oars and four paddles, and making it-a safe life-boat, not liable to be upset. On approaching a wreck the two air-tight cases are extended by a cross beam to the distance of six feet from each side, making in all a breadth of 18 feet, the space from the boat to the cases being covered with strong netting, so that any person may jump down upon it from a height of 20 feet without being hurt or being able to upset the boat. Sixty-one men were at one time on the raft without having much effect on its immer sion, and the experiments exhibited the great advantage which troop-ships, passenger steam vessels, and emigrant ships would possess, in cases of danger from fire or ship wreck, if provided with a supply of the invention to every boat on board; and if the rafts were expanded before being thrown overboard there would be no danger of its cap sizing were the boat even to fill with water. In a heavy sea it would still have sufficient buoyancy, with 50 persons on board, to have its gunwale 11 inches above tho water line. The boats usually carried by steam vessels, if fitted on Mr. Parratt's plan, would hold 100 persons, and convoy them safely to the nearest shore. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 9. The Swedish frigate Eugenia arrived yesterday morning and anchored in the Sound. She saluted the citadel and the flag of the commander-in-chief, which wore duly answered by both the citadel and the Impregnable. The James Watt, steamer, was taken into No. 5 Dock last evening to facilitate her fitment. The Valorous, 16, paddle, Captain Buckle, sailed last evening for Queenstown, where she is to remain as flag ship during the absence of the Ajax, one of the fleet or dered to be ready to accompany her Majesty on her sum mer cruise. 7,874 18 7 Orders have been received at this yard to increase the stock of coals for steam-vessels to 6,000 tons. Letters from the Vestal, dated 25th May, state that Captain Cospatrick B. Hamilton has invalided. The com mander-in-chief on the station waits instructions from the Admiralty prior to filling up the vacancy. MALTA, JUNE 2. The stirring intelligence from the Levant, which reached Malta on Tuesday evening, forms the only theme of gene ral conversation. The return of the Caradoc is anxiously expected, for, apart from the arrival of Admiral Stewart, she will, it is thought, bring orders to Admiral Dundas to show his ships of war in the Archipelago. Beyond this there is no news of the slightest importance. The screw-steamers Astrologer and Manta have sr rived, the one yesterday, the other this morning. At 6 a.m., on the 24th of May, when off Cape St. Vincent, the Astrologer was discovered to be on fire, from the ignition of the coal through the heating of the bearings of the shaft. Water was thrown down and the decks scut tled, and fortunately mastery over the fire was obtained, and it was finally extinguished by 9 a.m. The cargo is very considerably damaged. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Bengal, which arrived here, on her third voyage, on the 28th ult., has made another splendid passage. In Channel she had light S.E. winds, with a heavy N.W. swell, and from Cape Finisterre to Gibraltar "strong N. winds and thick weather. • From the Needles to Gibraltar she took but 3 days 23 hours, the quickest run by several hours ever made. Remaining 6 hours at the Rock, she ran to Malta in 3 days 16 hours, wea ther calm the whole way. Thus has the Bengal made her outward voyage to Malta in 7 days 16 hours under steam, or 8 days, including stoppages. Pier average speed to Gibraltar was 12 knots per hour, and from Gibraltar to Malta 11i knots. It is doubtful if any paddle-wheel boat could have done it in the time. TIIE SOCIETY OF ARTS. The annual conference between the representatives of the Institutions in Union and the Council of the Society of Arts was held yesterday at the Society's House in the Adelphi—Henry Cole, Esq., C. 8., in the chair. The following members of the Council also attended : —the Rev.

Mr. EwART, M.P., as a member of tale Parliamentary Papers Select Committee, stated that that committee had heard evidence, and were ready to. make a report, but had been prevented doing so by the illness of Mr. Tufnell. Ho thought he might say that the report, when made, would give general satisfaction throughout the country. Mr. Slaney, representative of tho Shrewsbury Church of England Literary and Scientific Institution, Mr. Fox, M.P., Mr. Baines, of the Leeds Yorkshire Union, Mr. Radford, Devonport, Dr. Hunter, Margate, Mr. Madely, Darby, and Dr. Booth having offered somas observations, it was agreed to leave this matter in tin) hands of the Government as regarded the selections to be made, as the publication of Parliamentary papers was limited. The following resolution, moved by Mr. GOWRING, of Ipswich, and seconded by Mr. BRAMWELL, Mayor of Durham, was carried nevi, con.—" That this meeting approve the steps taken by the Institut& Committee of the Society of Arts, respecting the cheapening of books, maps, diagrams, and. apparatus, and request them to continue their labours." After a discussion of five hours and a half on the va rious topics above enumerated, the meeting separated. THE DINNER. In the evening, about 230 gentlemen sat down to a banquet at the Freemasons' Tavern, furni:thed with that liberality which distinguishes this establishment. The Earl Granville, V.P., took the chair. The CHAIRMAN gave " The health (Ai* the Queen," which was drunk with every demonstration of loyalty. " The health of Prince Albert, the Pr esident of the Society of Arts " was also very cordia ll y received. The Dean of HEREFORD proposed, " Si recess to Insti tution in Science and Art." Dr. LION PLAYFAIR returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " ProspeY:iity to the Lite rary and Scientific Societies and the Mechanics' Institu tions of the Kingdom, and prosperity to the union," observed that there were 850 societies, of which 270 were in union with the Society of Arts ; and these 270 societies comprised a body of 84,t)00 members of the institution. Mr. CHESTER returned thanks. Mr. BUTT, M.P., proposed " The S ociety of Arts," and coupled with that toast the name of Mr. Wink worth. Mr. WINKWORTH returned thanks. Mr. CHARLES KNIGHT gave "The health of the Members of the Institution in union," coupled with the name of Mr. E wart, M.P. Mr. EWART, M.P., returned thanks. Various other toasts followed, and th e company sepa -1 rated at a late hour.

He had seen - the seed first planted, which was now grown up to be a large tree; in the branches of which men of substance and property now came to lodge themselves. The work of the directors had been so great.that he hiineelf could not stand it, and had been obliged to retire from it. ~ He obServed by the financial report that. these .gentlemen had not taken advantage of the amount of remuneration which, by the deed of , settlement, . they were entitled to do ; but they had gone upon the principle that, as the society was yohng, they would allow it to proceed until the time came when it could afford to compensate them for the labour which they had bestowed upon it. Mr, Brown concluded by paying a handsome compliment, to the manager. - Mr. MALCOLM seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. s • ; - Mr. LIDWALL moved, and the Rev. Mr. WOOD seconded the motion, that E. G. L. Perrott, Esq., Le elected a director, i n the place of Capt. O'Brien, retired. Agreed to. , Mr. DANIEL PRATT then moved that interest at the rate of five per cent. be taken upon the'paid-op capital.

Mr. GEORGE then moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to the directors for their exertions in hehalf of the company. He understood the motion to be one pet' of mere . compliment, but -RA. e x . k ive v slion of warn -Hearted; -heaed; sincere, Ysnglish gulag to - ta a , la, ••whichano ne hadanore• merited: ..„,(Thaaraalseasaa, --- Mr. Brown had said thatre — canild rift' end-the work, - 'but lie (-Mr. George) had never dared to try it. (Hear.) He could not but congratulate the company upon what he would call the singular providence of their progress, and it was highly gratifying ta think that, while they were joined together to promote their own interests by a commercial undertaking, they were 'at the sam e ti me conferring sound, temporal, and domestic blessings upon many of their fellow-creatures, and teaching them .to improve the present by giving them a hold upon the future. (Hear,) Mr. HOLCROFT seconded the motion, and bore testi mony to the great hold which institutions of this nature were obtaining on the middle classes in the country die trids. They were gradually supplanting the " benefit clubs," and young men had now discovered that they spent as much in going to pay their "club money" as would insure their lives for a fair amount, to be paid on their arriving at 40 or 50 years of age. (Hear, hear.) - Mr. LATHAM proposed the next resolution, which was, that the thanks of the meeting be presented to the auditors. He thought that the steady rate at which their business had progressed could not be too largely thought of, and it gave every indication of real prosperity and stability. At the end of 1850 the number of per sons insured was 217 ; at the end - of 1-851- it ,was 619 ; of .1852, 1,247; and of 1853, 1;520, ',making 'a total of 3,200. So regular and gradual a progress was a great matter of congratulation, for it showed that the strength which they had gained was genuihe and bona fide, and that their advance was not a mere flash-in-the-pan. The amount insured was about 2401. for each policy, a sum not so large as to terrify, nor so small as not to be remunerative. The call which had been made had been greatly advantageous to the interests of the company ; its purpose had been to enable the directors to increase the business of the office, and certainly the money had yielded so considerable a profit that if calls were always so profitable,- he for one did not care how often they were made. He had great pleasure in moving this vote of 'thanks to the auditors, because it was to them that the 'labile looked for a faithful report of the company's proceedings, and to no one could it be better trusted than to the gen tlemen who were now the auditors of this company. Mr. BIDGOOD seconded the motion; which was agreed to 'unanimously. Mr. WEBBER then moved a vote of thanks to Mr. She ridan, the manager, and the other officers of the com pany. It might be supposed that the heads of fitmilies, parents, and others, would need but little persuasion to induce them to provide by life assurance for those who were to come after them ; but the initiated well knew that it was in reality necessary to school men for their good. They would not be provident, and therefore it was that men were required like their worthy arid re spected manager, Mr. Sheridan, at the head of their in stutions. That gentleman had the power of language, and he knew well how to bring men to feel what was their own interest. No man could use his rhetoric with more power or more tact, and at the time that he served this institution, he also served those upon whom he exer cised his powers of persuasion. It had been urged by some that there were so many assurance offices rising around, that all could not be safe ; but he, for one, rather rejoiced in this increase, because life assurance principles could not be too much promulgated, and the more offices there were the more business was there likely to be not only for this office but for all others. (Hear.) It was not above 150 years ago since life as surance was called into being; and the march of civili sation would very much increase the value and scope of institutions of their nature. He could unhesitatingly say, that the flourishing position of this society was mainly attributable to the indefatigable energy and unswerving perseverance'of their manager. (Hear, hear.) He was always at his post, and be never left a stone unturned to benefit the institution. Not only was his intention good, but his ability to work institutions of this kind was ma rivalled. (Cheers.) - Mr. WAGSTAFFE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. SHERIDAN, the manager, returned thaiiks on be half of himself and the other officers of the institution. The different items of the report had been so satisfac torily referreded to by the chairman, and those who had followed him, that it would not be necessary for him to discuss at any length the operations of the year. The expenses of introducing the guarantee business had been large, for there was always more expense incurred in in troducing a new feature of business to the public than in carrying out a well-recognised principle. (Hear, hear.) It was very important to this company that such expense should be incurred, because the extra busi ness brought by the guarantee connection would prove largely profitable to the general interests of , the office. The list of companies that accepted the guarantee of this office had been found to be of great advantage in inspiring confidence in persons desirous of assuring their lives in a safe office, and had greatly in creased the public confidence in the stability of this office. - There were at present 150 incorporated and associated in stitutions that accepted the guarantee of this office, and it was well known that many of them were bodies who were not allowed to deal lightly with the funds of their .: shareholders, but were called strictly to account. It would readily be supposed that when a company of high position accepted the bond of this office for 20,0001,, as men of business they took care to inquire into the position of the office. and its constitution and stability. Such was the case with the Great Western Railway Company, who, before accepting the guarantee of the company, had directed their solicitors to make a report on the position of the office, and now the greater portion of the employds of that company were guaranteed by this office. So with regard to the Eastern Counties Railway ; this office, out of one hundred and fifty stations, had guaranteed one hundred and thirty. An attempt had been made by the office to induce the Government to.give them part of the business of guaranteeing the Government officials, and a memorial to that effect had been sent to the Trea sury. If the late Government had continued in office there was no doubt that the present monopoly would have been broken through, and the business thrown open to all the offices. A Parliamentary committee was now sitting, as had been stated by the chairman, virtually to inquire into the relative question of old and young offices. That committee had been obtained by Mr. Wilson on a speech full of mistakes and characterised by general' ignorance of the subject, and the first wit ness who was examined before it ought to have been the last, for, by his evidence, he fully disproved all that had been stated by Mr. Wilson • - indeed, Mr. Whitmarsh stated that, in the whole Of his ex perience, he had never known an instance of a mutual office becoming insolvent : in Other words, that he had on the ground of there being no.funds. Proprietory offices nevermet with a case of a life policybeing refused payment might have failed, but the policy holders did not suffer, because the moment it was found that the business of an office could not be carried on at a remunerative rate, all that was required was to assign its business to some other office, and here ended all risk to the directors, and to the policy holders. There was no risk nowadays o f ~ - had offices being established by mere adventurers, .
