JOHN SANDERSON, Esq., in the Chair, T he follow mg Resolutions were passed unanimously : 1" That th.e introduction of Opium into China by British merchants, in violation of the laws of that empire, and its g r owth in tiritish India for this avowed and express purpose, 51 discreditable to this country, and injurious to the character of Christianity, presenting one of the greatest barriers to its Proßross among a large proportion of the heathen nations of the Fast. 2 . That, whilst on these grounds chiefly, the Opium Traffic is Woe deprecated, it is at the same time highly prejudicial in ca.nmereial point of view ; not only interfering with the legitimate trade between this country and China, but endan- Itte.ng its very existence,—a trade producing a large revenue to Gs eat Britain, and furnishing a most important outlet for its t annufactures. „ 3 . That a Society be now farmed, for the discouragement of the growth of Opium within the British dominions for this inobtjoecetihoinnaab.le. purpose, and to prevent its illegal introduction e 4.

This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE of the PRO FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the business of this Society being conducted without incurring that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur ance, so carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed on data justifyingt he expectation of the conti nuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the remaining term of life. This abatement of Forty per cent., the amount being laid out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third of the amount of the existing Policy.

Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales, I wherein he observes—" There are at present in Sydney three Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up capital of ablut 80,000/. each ; which divide a profit znnually of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year left a clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent., which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund, according to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a div:dend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at j the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the recovery of a debt due to it." The Directors have for some time been mak7ng arrangements for immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Com pany; and in order to advance the influence of the Bank in the : Colonies, they have reterred a portion of the shares for distri bution there.: As the principal part of the business must necessarily be car ried on in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to have a numerous Board of Directors in London : it has there fore been determined that the number shall not at any time exceed ten ; but to secure the prudent administration of the affairs of the Bank, a complete system of superintendence is now being organized by the Directors for the Establishments in the Colonies. A sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the Directors to commence business immediately. They have therefore resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 2/. upon each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves, at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with such application, either in whole or in part, the money to be returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him if accepted. For the guidance of those who-may wish to become proprie tors, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to call up snore than 101. per share for the next twelve months. The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern ; power is reserved to them for that purpose, and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.
