The sixth annual general meeting of the members of the benevolent department of this excellent asseciation was held at the London Tavern on Monday evening, at six o'clock. John Abel Smith, Esq., MP., the treasurer of the bene• volent fund, presided. Amongst those present we observed Mr. R. H. Jones, Mr. J. Clarke, Mr. W. J. Jordan, Mr. J. J. Iselin, Mr. S. Jepps, Mr. C. Lloyd, Mr. W. Maitland, Mr. 11. P. Maples, Mr. S. Nutley, Mr. R. nice, Mr. W. S. Sawtell, Mr. J. W. Welch, Mr. (. Thomas, and a number of other gentlemen. There was a numerous attendance. Dr. T. MULL.INDER, the secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, Mr. R. 11. JONES proceeded to read the report of the pro ceedings of the association during the preceding year, of which the following is an abstract:— It is with no ordinary feelings of pleasure that the managers meet the members at the end of the sixth year of the association to present their report of the progress that has been made in the year just closed. The report for the year 1845 was received with many marks of satisfaction, but on the present occasion the managers have the gratification to announce that the amount assured for the year 1846 has been more than double that for 1845. In 1845 there were issued 211 policies for sums amounting to 33,6501., while in the year 1846 the number of policies has been 374, aggregat ing 69,200/., being more than two-thirds of the whole busi ness previously done by the association, 1845 included. The number of proposals f.r assurance made to the as sociation during the year 1846 were 484, of which 39 have been declined, 42 deferred for a time, and 9 withdrawn. It was not only in the increased number of assurances effected, but in the increased average amount assured, that the managers have to congratulate the meeting. While the managers are able to announce so great an in crease of prosperity, they are also happy to say that the number of deaths has been remarkably small. Last year they had to report the death of one assurer for 1001., and this year they have to announce four more—three for 100/. each, and one for 2001., making the entire amount of claims since the formation of the association, in 1840, to bo 600/. upon five assurances, all which claims had been promptly paid. The managers also reported that now almost all the large towns had an efficient and zealous agent, which led the managers to believe that a large accession of members would be made through their instrumentality. The board being at all times desirous of affording information to mem bers, both in town and country, deputed the deputy- chair man, Mr. R. H. Jones, and the secretary to proceed to Bris tol and Birmingham, in September and October last, for the purpose of holding public meetings and affording explana tions as to the objects and progress of the association. At the former place they were honoured with the pre sence of P. F. Aiken, Esq., banker, in the chair ; an d a t the latter place Richard Spooner, Esq., M.P. and banker, presided, both meetings having passed off in the most satis factory manner. The cause of the association having been ably advocated by the gentlemen present, the managers are daily receiving evidence of the good re sults consequent upon these meetings. By the balance sheet, which had been duly audited by three members, it appeared that the income of this branch of the association was now about 5,000/. derived from premiums and divi dends, being nearly double that of last year; and that 2,700/. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent, stock had been in vested during the past year, in the names of the trustees, making the total accumulations to be 8,000/. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cent. stock, besides the lease of the house, 42, Moorgate-street, and the cash balances in the banker's hands. The report then referred to the fact of four man agers going out by rotation, but who offered themselves for re-election, and of the intention of the board to increase their number and filling up a vacancy which had occurred by re signation. The report then called upon the members to use their best endeavours to make the year 1847 surpass all former ones; and, after an engagement on the part of the managers to continued exertion, concluded with the follow ing extract from the speech of the Right Hon. the Earl of Dalhousie, when proposing " Prosperity to the Association," at the public dinner, in May, 1846 :—" And the society has this recommendation, that there are none whose means are so small but that they may obtain advantage from it. No man is so poor, no clerk so humble, but may join in order to provide for the wants of the future by contributing towards its funds, which will be fostered and cherished, and paid to the uttermost farthing. Such associations are of the greatest value in this country, whose yearly increase in wealth rivals and surpasses that of princes. And permit me to say, that which I take the liberty of recommending to you and others of our humble brethren is not that which I do not practise myself. Ido not preach other than I practise. I feel the full value of what can be done by mutual assurance. Both the report and the balance-sheet were received with the warmest demonstrations of applause. Mr. JoxEs intimated that. Mr. G. Thomas, who had re signed the office of deputy chairman, and who had offered himself for re-election as one of the managers of the institu tion, had, since the passing of the report, sent in his re signation. The CHAIRMAN said, now they had heard the report, it became his duty to propose it for their adoption in the usual way. The time had arrived when any one who had any °b eet vations to make would be pleased to do so. Mr. L. BUNN expressed a desire to have some explanation from the directors with respect to the resignation of Mr. Thomas of the dice of deputy chairman of the association. Such an explanation appeared to him requisite, in order that those unacquainted with the circumstances might be in tro,oo,l vi,‘. tb— h.--; 1- —'' •• ; -•.-if - -----"- Promoted the interests of the institution to t h e iti est extent in his power? The CHAIRMAN said, of course he could not speak as the organ of the board, of which he was not a member. He simply appeared before them as the chairman o( that meet ing. But he was quite sure that the Hon. Gentleman, on reflection, would be of opinion that, requesting such infor mation either from him or the board, was a very erroneous way of obtaining information, especially as Mr. Thomas himself was present.—(Hear, hear.) No person could answer such a question better than Mr. Thomas himself. Mr. THO3IAS rose, and expressed his readiness to enter generally into the subject of his resignation if the meeting wished him to do so. (The meeting signified their wish to have such explanation from him.) The first unpleasantness that occurred to him in connexion with the institution was an attempt on the part of the secretary to assume the exclusive right of disputing the payment of one of the policies of a de ceased member of the society: This was an assumption of which lie at once expressed his disapprobation, be cause, he contended, that every inquiry ought to be made into the right and legality of a clerk to insure with the institution previously to granting his policy, and not after his death.— (Cheere.) In short, that little, or, in fact, no opportunity should be left, when he had passed away, and when he had died in the full belief that his widow or children would de rive a stated advantage from it, for raising objections to its payment.—(Cheers.) This was especially more objection able, when the secretary, their servant, claimed the right of so deciding without giving the board an opportunity of de termining whetheethe objections raised to it s p a y men t were valid or not. He did not know whether that principle now prevailed, but it did at the time to which he referred. This was one of the reasons, and he at once stood against it, be lieving that in doing so he should promote the interests of the institution.—(llear.) He should not have considered 1 that be had discharged his duty properly if he had not done so, and consequently showed his aptness for the position in which they had placed him.—( Hear.) The secretary, how ever, subsequently apologised for considerable rudeness of which he was guilty towards him on that occasion. Another inducement was certain information which was com municated to him, in his capacity as chairman of the board, reflecting upon the secretary, which, as was his duty, lie communicated to his colleagues, but instead of entertain ing and investigating the matter, which was confidently and privately communicated to them, it was committed to their minutes where the secretary of course had an opportunity of seeing it, and of course connecting his (Mr. Thomas's) name with it. They refused to make an investigation, and allowed the whole responsibility of the matter to rest with him, from whom it had emanated. As a proof that he had no really ill-feeling towards Dr. Mullinder, he might state that the present secretary was a candidate, but rejected ; but as the gentlemen who was elected did not continue in the service of the institution longer than two months, Dr. Mullinder offered himself as a candidate, and having joined the board, he voted for him because he found by his testimonials that he possessed that zeal and that ability which the association required—(Loud cheers)—and when he bad been in the ser vice of the company nine months, he was amongst the first to propose the increase of his salary. If he'had any feelings at all with respect to him, they were decidedly in favour of serving him, and h e should adopt the same course with re spect to the, officers of any institution with which he was connected, provided their conduct deserved it.—( Hear.) His third reason was certain insulting observations which were made by the secretary in a dining-room, as to his con duct as the chairman of the institution, in the course of which he (Dr. Mullinder) stated something about instituting an in dictment against him (Mr. T.) at the Old Bailey for in juring his character. He communicated this to the present chairman of the association, but that matter, like the others, had not been inquired into; therefore, for the last ten or eleven months, he had taken no part in the management of the affairs of the institution, believing that the intercourse of a chairman, if he did his duty properly, must be more frequent with the secretary than any other member of ; the court, and that, in such a state of things, any intercourse which might take place between them could not, on such terms, prove beneficial to the association. It was true his name had been published in the list of candi dates for the vacant directorship, but he did so in the hope that the other managers would consider such inquiries dim to one who was one of the priacipal promoters of the institution.— (A Director : " I deny that," and cries of " No, no, he was not.") He repeated that t l i i ,o e n, wa a s s one of list of oftheprainuceipnadlanpereosmaottertsheof boardthe in.:,toiutuld show ; but finding that they had no intention of making such an inquiry, he had felt it his duty to withdraw. t e thought in promoting the institution had th before he h e a d d e d n o e n n e e g h r i e n a g i service to a large class of clerks, who for theththemselves, servicesmselves h , and e had he rendered.

PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS, HOUSE 01? COMMONS. Committee Room No. 22, before Mr. Examiner SMITH, and Mr. Assistant-Examiner FRERE.) GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, ADD AYR RAILWAY. The allegations of the Caledonian Company against the petition were resumed. An important allegation was sustained, impugning the ac curacy of the calculations which the engineer of the line had made for ascertaining the levels. In point of fact it was proved by Mr. Blyth, the engineer of the memorialists' line, that the levels had not been accurately ascertained. Mr. Pturr, the agent of the petitioners, reluctantly ad mitted that there was a discrepancy of two feet in the levels, but he urged the Examiner not to report the circumstance as a non-compliance, as it might prove fatal to the Bill. Besides the point was raised by a rival company, and no private individual could he injured by the omission. The EXAMINER took time to consider the point. (Room 22, before Mr. Examiner Salmi, and Mr. As sistant-Examiner FRERE.) GLASGOW, DUMFRIES AND CARLISLE, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK AND AYR. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of pesterday.) The next point raised was, whether the Clydesdale Junc tion Company, through a portion of whose property the scheme under consideration was proposed to pass, should have been referenced in th' plans submitted. The promoters of the Bill contended that such a course wasucteot n necessary, as the Clydesdale li ne was not yet con , trd. The Examiners decided that, considering the contingent or equitable interest the Clydesdale Company had in the pro perty referred to, the name ought to have been inserted. After some further evidence was taken on the alleged In. accuracy of some of the levels, the Court adjourned till to morrow. (Room 23, before Mr. Examiner MAY and Mr. Assistant- Examiner GuNNILL.)

Observe, the Proprietor's address is on the wrapper. devote any portion of time that may be required to promote the advantage of the institution.—(Cheers.) But it does occur to me, that if we were to remain here till to-morrow night that we should not arrive at any satisfactory solution of this difference of opinion, or any decided opinion with respect to it. One course it appears preferable to adopt. I think it is due, net only to Mr. Thomas, but still more, if possible, to the members of the board, that inquiry should take place ; but that is a task which cannot be performed this evening. An inquiry should be made by a committee appointed by the members to investigate and to report the result.—(Hear.) I must, therefore, ask the gentlemen who sit around me to submit to imputations ft.: a short time, until they have an opportunity of explaining. Believ:z;g, as I do, that this institution has flourished most marvellously —(fleas)—we may fairly concede that some thanks and gra titude are due to those who have undertaken its manage ment; and I hope that that justice will be done them which they have a right to expect, and not in words only, bait in facts. That is the best advice I can give you, and without partiality to one side or the other. I leave it to you to adopt or reject it.—(Cheers. ) Mr. GILKS thought some explanation ought to be given to show why the policy in question was suspended. ➢lr. THOMAS said it was not suspended. A DntEcron—lt was paid under discount. Mr. GILKS seemed apprehensive lest there should be any misunderstanding on the matter, and said that if the state ment of Mr. Thomas was true, his widow, if he should die, might be deprived of the amount of his policy. The CHAIRMAN said they could not all fail to be of opinion that they must either do one thing or the other—they !oust either go into the investigation, or delegate the task to a committee. He was in their hands. If they went into one part of the charges and not into another, they would commit an injustice. Mr. GILHES expressed his wish to abide by the decision of the committee. Mr. THOMAS said he did not say that the policy was no' paid, but that the conduct of the Secretary, if persisted in, would be not only found improper, but unsafe. He should like nothing better than the appointment of the committee suggested. Such an inquiry was quite in unison with his wishes, but he would suggest that the chairman should act as the sole arbitrator in the matter. The CHAIRMAN declined the honour. Mr. J. J. 'senile said, although he had not the slightest doubt but that the suggestion of the chairman was made with the view of saving time, and with the very kindest in tentions, yet he thought those present were of opinion that there were some specific charges that had been made which ought to be met with the most prompt refutation. He would not deny that Mr. Thomas had zealously devoted him self to promote the interests of the institution—(Hear) — and therefore, when differences unfortunately occurred be tween the head of the board and its members, that they should be settled within the precincts of the board-room, and they should be adjusted in mutual kindness and forbear ance.—(Hear, hear.) He was bound to state that the board had paid all due attention to Mr. Thomas's ob servations, who, in their anxiety to promote the inte rests of the institution, could not yield to him ; and, after anxious deliberation with respect to his resignation, they had ordered an official reply accepting his offer, but they had not felt it consonant with their duty to accompany that reply with any expressions of regret. The statement of Mr. Thomas, to the great surprise of the managers, had resolved itself into an attack on their secretary; he had, however, no objection whatever to rise at once and to defend that most indefatigable servant of the institution.—(Loud cheers.) He would not stop to defend the members of the board, but he thought he might venture on their indulgence whilst he en deavoured to clear him from the aspersions which had been cast upon him.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thomas had commenced by stating that We secretary had attempted to resist the pay ment of a_policy, and that he bad been in consequence dis gusted. Undoubtedly- the secretary had no power to resist such a payment, but it was unquestionably his duty to point out any flaws or imperfections, and having done that, it then became the province of the board to decide upon the matter.— (Hear, hear.) More than this the secretary had not done—("Hear, hear," and cheers )—leas than this they must acknowledge he ought not to have done.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Thomas commenced by insuring his life for 3001., which was the qualification necessary for a seat at the beard. This was done when lie was engaged in organizing the insurance department. Some time after he applied to have his policy increased 2001. more, but he refused to submit to the neces sary medical examination.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !") Mr. THOMAS said that was incorrect. Mr. Isatis said that was the fact, and there were two me dical gentlemen present to corroborate the statement. Hav ing refused to submit to an examination, he afterwards did consent, but he was then declined—(Laughter)—and in the presence of the board, and sitting in its capacity as its chair man, he tore his own proposal into fragments. Mr. THOMAS said it was quite true. Mr. Isaatat proceeded. Thisoccurred on the4thof February last year, and in ten days after the scene to which he ( Mr. Thomas) had referred in the outset occurred. On the 14th of February, when Mr. Thomas was in the board-room, at which the deputy-chairman (Mr. Jones) was present, the case of a young gentleman, aged eighteen, who had died, came under consideration. He had insured with the so ciety at the age of sixteen for one hundred pounds. On that occasion, Dr. Mullinder simply discharged a duty which was extremely natural, and which it would not have been right if he had neglected. He intimated that there was something like concealment during the medical examination, and the suspicion was not a very chimerical one, as one of the young man's brca!ree cauiaa.eei, au u sumotion two .itnunication with the medical officers, and did thereby great service to the institution.—(Cheers.) A book was kept called the " Scientific Memoranda," in which the medical gentlemen made private memoranda with respect to the several cases which came under their cognizance. It was strictly private and confidential, as such a book should be, and was confided by them to the care of the secretary, who referred to it in giving the statement with respect to the policy of this consumptive young man, and upon that Mr. Thomas in sisted upon having the book in his possession and examining its contents. lie (the Secretary) stated in reply that it was a professional book, and consequently strictly confidential, and that he could not consent to part with it without the consent of the medical officers. The contents of the book were only of a nature for the perusal of professional men; nevertheless—he was ashamed to be obliged to state it, and he would not have done so but for the acrimonious attack which had been made on the secretary—Mr. Thomas made use of his physical strength to wrest the book from Dr. Mullinder.- (Cries of Oh, oh," and "Shame.") They could express no other opinion of such conduct. Since that period Mr. Thomas had been the avowed enemy of Dr. Mullinder, but the board considered that the secretary performed his duty, and was an excellent servant to the institution, and they would not truckle to their chairman and follow his example.- (Hear. ) They inquired into the charges thus made against him in respect of this particular matter, and the result was that he passed through the ordeal in a most satisfactory manner to the board.—(Cheers.) No doubt, labouring under such pro vocation, Dr. Mullinder did speak and act warmly, but when Mr. Thomas complained of his conduct to the board, he spon taneously withdrew and wrote a courteous apology, but no re ply had up to that time been received from Mr. Thomas. The charges against the board he would not answer, be cause none of its members were second to Mr. Thomas in their exertions on behalf of the institution. If he wished to call clap-trap to his aid, he might say, that during the last year, in the course of which Mr. Thomas had been re peatedly invited to resume his seat at the board, but which he had refused to do on account of the failure of his charges, whilst his attendances bad amounted to zero, and his en deavours to obtain a permanent salary had been almost in terminable whilst connected with the management, the business of the institution had more than doubled.—(Cheers.) Mr. Titoaets said there were many very plausible speeches delivered which told less for the speaker than the person as saulted. The first point to which the gentleman who had last spoken adverted was the business of the association which had increased in a greater degree within the last year than it had fer the four years previous. He would remind the meeting that in those four years he had done nearly all the work ; he could show that the attendance on thepart of the other managers had been very remiss, for while he himself gave 1,400 at tendances, some of the gentlemen sitting at the board did not give above 50 or 100. In fact, in the year 1844, the committee that usually sat was so small that it was a mooted question whether they should go on with the insurance business, and he (Mr. Thomas) then suggested that it might be as well, if they wound up this branch of their association, in order to realise the profits for the mem bers. A meeting of the trustees was called, and it was de termined to have a public meeting, which was afterwards followed by a public dinner, and a resolution was passed to spend more money, with the view of giving the thing a further trial. It was in this way that public attention was directed to the association, and an impetus given to their business transactions. Then the last speaker referred to the pay given to him about three years ago. Many parties in the management came only to the annual meeting, with the view alone of getting remuneration —(" Oh, oh !")—he then being the only one who objected to it.—(Laughter and hisses.) He objected because the profits would not have allowed it. Again, in 1845, when a resolution was passed that these gentlemen ought and were to be paid, it was conceded to him that his services were more than equal to theirs, and it was agreed that whatever sum might be voted to the board of management, he should receive one half. So at that time last year, when 300/. were voted in recompense of their exertions, he was declared entitled to 150/, but he would only accept of 1001. So far about the payment. Great confusion, amid which The CHAIRMAN rose, and said—Gentlemen, I am sure that every one will do me the justice, when I say that I did what I could to prevent this unseemly occurrence, but since this discussion has been commenced at all, I think it only fair to bear all that Mr. Thomas may have to say, although we should be detained from the real business of the meeting till ' morrow morning. Mr. THOMAS resumed—All that he bad asked or sug • geated in the shape of payment was, that his exertions should be brought before the association, that they might fix an amount, or decide whether such services were to be remu nerated or not. He did not think this an unusual pressing: for payment. It had been said that he wished to insure . him selff for 2001.,—what he did wish to do was to insure himsX , for the full amount of 500/., and that was solely wit h view of benefiting the institution, and not but (Laughter and derisive cheers.) himself — (Laughter gentlemen were welcome to construe it as t hey beat liked. Mr. he Mr. EDWARD C96E)IAN said, that although feeling had attended at this annual meeting for the first time, hF could not conceal from himself the fact that they might be tar more profitably engaged by moving that the report of the managers be received and adopted, and it was therefore with a great deal of pleasure that way connected with the board of he (not in any management, but only feeling that they had studied to the utmost extent the interests of the clerks of London), rose to do so. The board had in the, most able manner conducted the affairs of the institution, and it would be not only most unwise, but also most ungrateful, it' they (the clerks) were not to avail themselves of the advantages offered for their acceptance.—(Cheers.) He had often felt for the cenditi o o of the clerks of London, that as a body they were deserving of attention, and he was quite convinced th at as a body the would show, by their support of th e P rov i dent Clerklnati tution, how much they appreciated it. But he must be al lowed to say that, however great in the City were the mean, 0: disseminating information, and of bringing the prominent objects of tee society befo re every one, these means were un fortunately too limited in the extreme east end, 510 lie would therefore suggest that some means be proposed f propagate the objects of the society iu the quarter he 1, fot.eiit!ttlehdieo,iBd.,ifintioierdaersst,l,icai.,Lii(bz an a ccessi •n of strength. tended.

If the report read that evening 'were placed is their hands, he would venture confidently to as sert that a considerable addition would be found in the year 1847, as compared with the bygone 1846. As regarded .the establishment with which he was himself connected, he had explained the principles of this society, because he was , 1 , :: terested in it, and the result had been that some of his fe low-clerks had been induced to join it, and all arose simply frum some facts detailed in the first Instance by a person connected with the institution. What held good in the case of two or three would equally follow in the case of three hundred, and thus the institution, as well as the clerks, would be benefited. He trusted that all matters of a personal character would be kept within the precincts of the board room, and not be made the subject of public animadversion ; for they might rest assured that the course adopted that even ing was pregnant with mischief to the sysociation. He was rejoi. ed to meet so many present, and he hoped yet further to re;oice when he should see more from the east end present. He therefore called upon the board to lend its assistance in the object he had adverted to. The speaker concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. LOWNE, of Norwich, seconded the resoluth.n Mr. GILKES begged, before the resolution ww. put, that the etl. , retary would give a l:rief outline of the receipts, the expen diture, and the balance for the last year.—(Laughter, and cries of " It has been already read.") The CIIAIKMAN suggested that it might save time, if the financial statement were handed to Mr. Gilkes, and if he found any complicated matter in the document, he (the Chairman) would be most happy to explain it. A DittEcron said, that if Mr. Gilkes would apply at the office at any time, he would find any and every information he desired. Another DIRECTOIL—The books were open for him at any time he might choose to call. The CHAlRMAN.—Gentierner l , the resolution, that the re port be received and adopted, has been moved and sec.onded. It has been moved is a speech of singular usefulness and discretion by a gentleman on my left, whom I have tike honour of seeing this night for the first time. Gentlemen, believe me, I require no prompting or pressing in putting the resolution, because I am most anxious that it should meet your unanimous approval, but I am compelled to hesi tate for a moment while I offer to your notice one observation. I will only trespass on your patience thus far, that if when the question is put, and it should be carried, the question as between Mr. Thomas and the board of management drops.—(Cheers.) I think it fair to give that notice now, so that if any further observations are to be made we may hear them, rather than stop them after the report shall have b_•en received, but I think, at the same time, that you w►ll be doinw wisely and well in putting an end at once to this discussion by adopting the motion of Mr,- Coleman. lam sure (and lam permitted to express my individual opinion), that in all tie charges brought against the board there is nothing to interest you °Le way or an other. The only single point that can by any ingenuity be twisted into anything like interest is that which regards the conduct of your secretary. That point has been denied, moul it is with you to say what faith you place i❑ that denial.— (Loud cheers.) I will say not one word more; I cannot pre tend to decide on the respective merits of the question, but I may be allowed to suggest that these differences and discussions do nothing but mischief. I congratulate you on the present satisfactory state of the institution, and beg to propose ;that the report be received and adopted. The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said, that as this was a most important vote he begged the meeting clearly to understand that by their rules they were required to have the sanction of three fourths of the members assembled. To avoid discussions afterwards, he would, therefore, ask if any gentleman in the room doubted that three-fourths of the meeting had agreed to receive the report. No answer having been returned, the resolution H as de clared carried. Mr. SAWTELL then rose to move " That Mr. John Clark, Mr. Charles Lloyd, and Mr. John White Welch, be re elected managers; and that Mr. Alexander Dawson and Mr. James Lintott be elected members of the association." Mr. JORDAN seconded the resolution, which w-s carried. Mr. R. H. JONES begged to propose the usual vote of thanks to the trustees. Thomas I.3aring, Esq., M.P., Thom. son Hanker, Esq., W. G. Prescott, Esq , Baron R ,thschild, and J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., fur their joint a,sistance and support. The resolution was seconded by Mr. H. TARRANT. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen I have I,l4gaed you so very lately, that I might say b ut few words now, but I think it due to the other gentlemen who are associated with me in your vote of thanks, to assure you all of the deep interest which they take in the prosperity of the Provident Clerks' Institution. With regard to myself I need say nothing more than that I hope to be always able to assist in extending the usefulness of this institution, which I consider one of the most beneficial in the metropolis—useful alike to the employers and the employed. I may not have another opportunity of informing you that another association is about to be brought before the public, which shall have my zealous and cordial support. It is this: an attempt is to be made in the city of London to establish a means of education for the chilrdren of clerks, a matter which I consider of not a lesser importance than the institution which provides for the support of the clerks themselves. It will soon be made public, and I hope it will receive that support from the clerks of London which will prove to their employers they are not unworthy of the benefits which are offered to them.—(Cheers.) With regard to this institution, of which I witnessed the birth and struggles of its early days, and with which I have rejoiced in its successes in after times, I can only say t hat I look forward with increased hopes to increased prosperity under the auspices of those at our board. These gentlemen have my fullest confidence—l hope they have yours.—(Cheers.) I think the present aspect of this meeting maysatisfy them that this is the case.—(Cheers.) I hope that Mr. Thomas, even though he may have joined a rival establishment, will still look back with a feeling of complacency- to the period when he assisted in our exertions, and that he will view with sati,faction the continued success of our association. I feel that when some time has passed this difference will be forgotten, and we shall look back upon Mr. timixx mai, n. 11th \ privilege, some years before, to to the bo ppo a r r o do s f e that some grantedg s e o rnnt m e ere fo m r their lin indefatigable remuneration and zealous exertions to promote the interests of the society, ,„ but he had on the first' . occasion been unsucce: , sful in h-iti object. He had renewed his application afterwards, and succeeded. It was now again his . privilege to renew the 'notion, and he hoped it would meet with the concurrence of alt present. He proposed that the sum of 3001. (a similar amount to that voted last year) should be given to the chairman, the deputy-chairman, and the board of manage ment for their service 9 throughout the past year. Mr. lioormt seconded the motion, which was carried with but two dissenting voices. Mr. R. JONES, the chairman, on behalf of himself and colleagues, wished that the v o t e h a d b een unanimous, but in so large an assemblage the thing was of the less con sequence. It was a matter of congratulation fur them that their success had been so marked in the past year ; and as far as the present month might be con sidered an augury of the future, they had every reason to be satisfied. Already that year they had granted 28 policies, to the amount of 7,6001., they had accepted fourteen proposals, amounting to 2,800/, and twenty-eight were waiting examination, amounting to 5,550/.—(Cheers.) For Mr. Thomas he had always had the utmost respect, and the proof was to be found in his (Mr. Jones's) endeavour, during the past year, to reconcile the differences existing with his other colleagues, so as to bring matters to an amicable settlement.—(Cheers.) Mr. ISELIN was happy to propose a resolution on which he did not anticipate the slightest difference of opinion. It was, " That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the medical officers both in London and in the country, to the local agents and committees, to the c“nsulting actuaries and honorary solicit,rs, for their valuable irrvices during the past year." The institution had imly paid as claims at present to the amount of 600/., and if they cm sidered a business extend ingover a period of six pars they would find it impossible not to admit that merit which these gentlemen would not claim for themselves—(Cheers)—the exercise, namely, of the highest professional skill, alike honourable to themselves and most beneficial to the association. The resolution was seconded by Mr. PRICE, and carried amid acclamations. _ _ Dr. MULLINDEK, in a speech replete with wit and humour, said that he rose to propose the following resolution : " That the thanks of the meetinl.: be presented to the gen tlemen of the Press for their able advocacy during the put }'ear;" but before he entered upon a description of what this powerful college of preceptors had done, he would say, with the poet— " If, unhappily deceived, I dream, And am too weak for such a noble theme, Let charity forgive me the mistake That zeal, not vanity, has chanced to make." Fie would assume two facts—first, that education was im- portant ; and, secondly, that the press was the great pro.. moter of it. In 1840, when the little infant in which they were all so interested was ushered into the world, and re ceived the name of the " Provident Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association," before that infant could utter a word or plead its own cause, the press was the first to do so.—(Cheers.) When the infant grew somewhat older and stronger, it was determined to educate it, and the first branch of that education was necessarily language. —(Hear.) It now spoke English tolerably well, knew a little Scotch, Irish, Welsh, German, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew, but it had only attempted three words of Latin. which it was continually repeating " Tuti qui Providi." The next step was geography, and it now could point out nearly all the principal towns and cities in the kingdom, and from the great pains taken by its preceptors, it would not be long before it could point out the geographic position of every bank and counting-house in the kingdom. It bad learned to draw well, and had drawn charming sketches of happy homes and smiling families. In music it had not only learned to finger the notes, but had taught many widows and orphans to sing for joy. Dancing was not one of its accomplishments, being too firm on its legs to jump about or wheel abrit. In arithmetic it was a proficient. In simple addition it ad in the past year added 374 to its numbers; in compound , 2,7001. to its stock. In subtraction, fortunate ly,u had little experience, having only been called upo_i_i_t_o t sg ui vr it :s"7" its existence, five from its members, and 6 Uv In multiplication it was gradually ns im o rort i g: s them.

"If the year 1846 produced 374 members, what tiught the year 1847 produce ?" (Continu e d c h eer i ng .) Mr. JEFFS could not add one word to the subject which had been so ably commented on by their esteemed secretary. Dr. Mullinder. He would rest contented with seconding the resolution. Mr. GOSBELL said he rose to discharge one of the most pleasing duties he had ever undertaken. When he looked hack to the period when the society was in its infancy, hi raced the rise and erisperity of the society to their able se cretary's connexion with it, and he therefore hoped that all in the room would cordially second his proposition, " That the best thanks of the meeting are due to Dr. Mullinder for his zealous and effective services, and as a proof of the esti mation in which he is held, he is recommended to the con sideration of the board, for that remuneration his services are deserving ot." M.t. Daummi 'ND , ee. ruled the re-olution. Dr. MULLINIPER said—l %ill only detain you with three verde. This tlig:i compliment has been unsolicited, unasked for, and undeserved.—(Cheers.) The meeting was then declared dissolved. SPECIAL MEETING. Mr. R. H.
