THE LATE DEATH by PRUSSIC ACID, &c,, at CAMDEN-TOWN. PROOF of the IMPORTANCE •f the MEDICAL LIBERTY of the SUBJECT. People el England—Let this case be a warning to you all. If the unfortunate girl and her friends had not been completely under the thumb of the doctors—that is, had she or they been capable of judging for themselves (which is what hygeists mean by the medical liberty of the subject), she would be still alive ; but as it was, the most deadly poisons were given her "me ticinally," which she swallowed with confidence Il! There can be no safety until you shake off the chains that bind you to the chltriot wheels of the doctors in other words, until you become likeitygeists, your own doctors. No case can prove the importance of the medical liberty of the subject (that is to say, trusting only to one's self and friends in cases of disease), more than the melancholy case of Miss Collier. The British College of Health have warned the public f.r many years against these deadly chemical preparations, which can only be used without killing by grains and drops. As to their curing in any case, it is quite untrue. Of course, in order to have the medical liberty of the subject as contended for by hygeists, all deadly chemical pre parations must be done away with, and nothing dangerous left in the way of the people. So long as dangerous things are tolerated, there must be persons to advise the quantity to be taken; herein lies the whole secret of the question, and the key to all the opposi tion of doctors to hygeists. Many persons think that because prus sic acid and other deady chemical preparations can be taken in such doses as not to kill at once (as in the case of Miss Collier), that, therefore, they are a cure for diseases. Nothing can be more falla cious than such an opinion. It certainly would be most satisfactory to the public it the medical world would explain upon what principle it is that prussic acid, &c., is to operate as a cure for disease. Let them explain the modus operandi of that roison, and then the public will say whether it is possible that it can, under any circumstances, do good. Why ! we ask, is not its operation to paralyze the action of the heart, and through that all the other organs of the body ? Is it not so? And is not this also the true modus operandi of all other powerful narcotics or sedatives? Then, if it be so, upon what prin ciple are such poisons to cure diseases? Ilygeists have now for up wards of 20 years been contending this question with doctors ; every manoeuvre has been attempted to divert the public mind from the point, but the truth seems at last coming to light. We are aware that the existence of the medical profsssion depends upon this ques tion of poisons, because if they are to be taken " medicinally," the medical body is certainly entitled to a monopoly of the deing art. If they are not, then every - be li s own doctor. an therefore the whole fabric falls to the ground. As to Dr. Crown being a German M.D., we think that has very little to do with the question, so far as the public is concerned, bee use it is well known that Eng lish M.D.'s use these deadly chemical preparations " medicinally," as well as German M.D.'s. Are we, therefore, to infer that Dr. Cronin has heels selected because he has only a German diploma? We emphatically declare that there is no experience to justify the administration of such deadly poisons, either by German or English doct .rs. We have much pleasure in stating that our petition to Parliament against the use of poisons " medicinally" is meeting with unusual support. We say again to the public, look to the 4th Ilygelan print, wherein the whole of the question as to poisons being held out " medicinally" is fully brought before you In all its bearings.

The sixth annual meeting of the members of the benevolent department of this useful association took place on Thursday evening, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., the treasurer of the associa tion, took the chair, at, six o'clock precisely. Among the gentlemen present we observed Thomson Han key, jun., Esq., Mark Boyd, Esq., James Mackitlop, Esq., Alfred Smee, Esq., F.R.S., It. 11. Jones, Esq., J. N. Vetch, Esq., W. J. Jordan, Esq.. A. Dawson, Esq., S. Nutley, Esq.. S. Jepps, Esq., W. S. Sawtell, Esq., W. Maitland, Esq., 11 . G. Hudson, E-1., R. Price, Esq., J. Ceirke, Esq., J. Lintott, Esq., and W. Rennell, Esq. Dr. TILOSIAS MULLINDEE., the Secretary, having read the advertisement convening the meeting, Mr. JONES, chairman of the board of managers, pro ceeded to read the auntie' report of the state and proceedings of the institution, to the evident satisfaction of the members present, many of whom testified their satisfaction at the rising prospects of the iustitutiett by loud applause. The report set forth that the managers had much sat is faction in stating that the amount of patronage which it had been their pleasure to announce at former meetings had not only been continued to the association, but during the past year had been increased. At the last annual meeting it had been determined to add two more annuitants to those already elected, and that the board took the requisite steps for giving publicity to the members of such an intention, and that at a special meeting, held on the tith May, at which the treasurer, J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., presided,. an aged clerk was voted an annuity of 25/., and a widow of a clerk an annuity of 151., and that on the evening of the day of election the event was commemo rated by a public dinner, at which the Right Hon. the Earl of Dalhousie, President of the Board of Trade, presided, sup ported by the Right Hon. Lord J. Russell and many of the most eminent merchants and bankers. Above two hundred gentlemen were present, and during the evening upwards of 600/. was subscribed in aid of the Benevolent Fund. The teenagers on the present occasiou, desirous of carrying out the objects of the association to the fullest extent, recommend to the meeting that two additional annuitants be elected during the present year, the one to be a member, the other the widow of a member. The report then enumerated some of the advantages which had been afforded to members during the past year. L e i Asa.—ln 1846 the sum of 715/. had been lent to members in amounts varying from 101. to 251., and many in stances had come before the managers in which such aid had been of the greatest service, and that while the managers had readily responded to the applications, they had at the same time endeavoured to prevent such aid being granted to the improvident, and the board were happy to state that the in stalments were generally punctually repaid. GEATIATIES.—The board during the past year had many cases brought before them showing extreme distress, through sickness and other causes, and they were happy to state that every one had received assistance according to its necessities. SITUATION Boole.—This department had 'been produc tive of much good during the past year, as many members could testify. MEDICAL ADVICE.—The report alluded to the continued gratuitous advice of the medical officers in London, and of the honourable conduct of many of the provincial medical referees, who had followed the example of their London brethren. The number of new members who had joined this branch during the past year was 152, and the income of this fund was 8161. 18s. 4d. The report then alluded to the annual meeting of the Mutual Life Assurance branch, held on the 18th January last, and quoted the fact announced at that meeting of the highly prosperous state of this important department, viz., that in 1846 the number of policies issued had been 374, for sums amounting to 69,200 e, being more than double that of 1845, which year's business was more than double that of 1844; and that such was the increasing prosperity sad prospects of the life department, that a special meeting had ' been held the same evening, Jan. 18, for the purpose of ob taining power to extend the amount to be assured from 500/. to 1,000/., which proposition had been unanimously adopted. The balance-sheet showed that the sum of 1,4211. 10s. 6d. had been received during the past year for the Benevolent Fund, and that after paying all expenses there remained a surplus of 475/. Os. 8d on the year'saccount, without infring ing upon the annual subscriptions, which had been applied in payment of gratuities to members, annuities, loans, &c., and the purchase of 200/. stock. The report, after alluding to the continued support and patronage of the treasurer and trustees, concluded with an earnest appeal to the members to exert themselves to make the principles and objects of the association as widely known as possible, and to endeavour to induce others to join. Mr. MAtix BOYD, in proposing that the report should be received, adopted. and printed, according to the discretion of the directors, said—Sir, when I entered this room, 1 was not aware that 1 was to be honoured by having this motion to submit to you. I am sure that the satisfaction I feel is felt by every person present at the rising nature of this in stitution. It is a general complaint amongst the insurance companies, that during the last 18 months there has been a falling off in the amount of business transacted, whereas the reverse is the case with this society, from the encouraging report we have now heard. I am proud to hear, and it must be a source of great setiefaction to those connected with this institution to know, that it is progressing so satisfac torily. I can say that those parties who preside over it are gentlemen of knowledge and honour, who will on all occasions steadily promote those interests necessary to ensure its standing. Mr. John Abel Smith, our chairman, gentle men, is always in the van in the promotion of ques tieme_of nublic and private utility amongst his fellow- of ultimate success. My ditty is it, eie,Jeteeeneet despair Which has just been read be received, adopted, and printed, according to the discretion of the managers.—( Hear, heir.) Mr. Tetoxisom HANKEY,ittiI., in seconding the motion, fetid —Sir, I have very great pleasure in seconding the resolution which Mr. Boyd has proposed, and I have greater pleasure in hearing the terms in which it was proposed, by a gentleman whom I have the happiness to see here for the first time on any such occasion as this meeting. lam sure, from the expres sions that he has used to us, he will continue the sup port and assistance which he has given to us at present upon all future occasions. It is well known to a great many friends whom I see around me, that I hive on almost all occasions, when these meetings have taken place, attended here, and made, I must say, in substance, the observations I have now to make. All that I have now to say is, that the condition of the institution is very much more satisfactory now than it was last year. I have had to offer this observation on every occasion upon which I have had to stand in this room, and therefore I will not dwell upon the subject at the present mo ment. I can also say, that when such a report has been read to you as has been presented to this meeting, it must be a source of great pleasure to you, and it must also be satisfactory to know, that in every year from the commencement of reatl this institution until the Present moment it has not only gy, but rapidly increased in prosperity. I do not know what milder term I can apply in such a case,—but I say again, that it is a source to me of great satisfaction to know that this institution does thrive, and that its prosperity is connected with that good feeling which I believe has existed, and which I believe does exist, and which I trust I shall always find between the principal of every house and those who carry on the executive department under him. I think that the success of this in stitution is a strong proof that that feeling does exist no where more than in London and among the clerks of London ; and I think that it is as satisfactory a state of affairs as any one can possibly desire to see. I believe that every principal of a house must feel how essentially serviceable it is to him and to the welfare of his house, that the clerks who have the management—so great a charge and responsibility as the management of the busi ness—should feel not only that their principal takes a deep interest in their prosperity, but that they are provided for by the efforts of that principal, and secured, as far as practi cable, against any unforeseen calamities or events which may betel every individual, and none more likely than those who are engaged in trade and commerce. It cannot be otherwise than a source of great pleasure to every principal to know that his clerks are placed in such a situation ; and if it is satisfactory to him, it must be equally satisfactory to the clerk to know, that it is by his own saving, by his own eco nomy and provident habits, that he has rendered himself ndependent against the day of calamity ; and, when the hour of sickness or misfortune shall come, he will not feel, in addi tion to that necessary calamity which misfortune and the hand of God inflicts upon him, the additional sting of know • rig that his own improvidence has injured him, and will not be conscious that his want of care and prudence have added to those sufferings from which a little providence might have released him. It must be satisfactory to the clerk—to every man—to know, in the hour of illness, that it .. is his own prudence which has alleviated his sufferings, and which has rendered him inde pendent of unforeseen calamities, and enabled him to feel that if the hand of God shall take him out of the world, his widow and children will not suffer so severely as they otherwise would, not only from the loss of the services of the money which he was earning, but from the loss of the assistance of the benefit fund. That must always be a point of great in terest to those whose situations place them in the way of receiving any benefit from such an institution as this. Gen tlemen, I have to apologise for again intruding my opinion —that opinion which 1 hve so often given, and which I hope to live to give again and again upon similar occasione.— (Cheers.) For my friend on my left (Mr. J. A. Smith), I can only say, that as long as he is able to perform those services which he has so essentially rendered to this institution, so long will he render them, and his example will induce others to follow in his stop. As an humble individual I shall be happy to follow that example, and give to the institution that assistance which he has done. I can only say that, as long as the in stitution exists, so long, if I am able, I shall be happy to take my part in anything which can be of service to it,. I again apologise for trespassing upon your time, and, in conclusion, I shall thank you for your attention to those remarks which I have made in seconding this resolution.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then said—lt has ty been moved by Mr. Boyd, and seconded by Mr. Hankey, at the report which hiss been read should be received, adopted, and printed at the discretion of the managers. Before going through the form of that resoution I am anxious to say one word with reference to that report. I shall confine myself solely to the question of accounts, which are the soul of all business and the secret of all prosperity and advancement. Anybody look ing at these accounts cu rsorily, without - thoroughly considering the objects and . views of the funds of this institution, would think it very unfair on seeing so of . the annual expenses of both large a portion branches of aboutstitution borne by the benevolent fund— which bears boa ha a lf, or very nearly so. My object in al luding to this subject i because I feel it vital to the advance. ment, and involves so completely the principles, of this esta blishment, that it was necessary to take the liberty to trespass upon your attention with a very few words in ex planation. It would be most u nfair and im p roper, as I think, to throw the weight of these expenses upon the benevolent fund, if it were not that the benevolent fund has the greatest possible interest in e succ from of the tu b e en u e ou fi e t fi fu t n d d e . par A tm e e e i r i - t rain the npor tion of the profit derived finances of the benevolent fund went to create the benevolent fund,the effect of which will be, , in a great degree,tuo s o a u v . e li t e isoutuis principle that I hope 1 from being called ec u a e u u s e e fit it fu ev u as d t w o as cre: a t t e a h a l i spliced we are to continue. Ittu per manent life interest th b e It was called early in its infancy ' but meaning, in fact, a life insurance; and from the benevolentfund. the benefit fund, but a great measure, success must be derived it is clt ar that, from it. must be obvious to any p erson in q uiring into the subj first sight, that this benefit fu nd was framed eclt, 'd must be obvious to any person inquiring info the subjeCtS t first sight, that this benefit fund was framed upon $ pr i n cipl a self-support. It will support itself shortly, upon & Prila ci P 8 and until that thne it is the interest of the benevolent fund to contribute liberally and fairly to its expenses. Whethet or not I have succeeded in malting myself clear I do not know, but I know that if I have done so, that there's not one gentleman present who will not coreur with me is thinking that the managers have•used a wise and solid dis cretion in making the benevolent fund pay as it has done towards the expenses of the benefit fund. With the view of explaining that I have taken the liberty of expressing my own views and feelings upon the stil:ject, and I now ask whether aey gsntleman has any observations to make upon this report house I put it ts the meeting? Mr. Ossiosa) Lewis said—l do not ti.e to make sny ot servation in objection to the report, the contents of whies, have giv nme great satisfaction. Aftsr the very able man ner in which other speakers have proposed and seconded the • report, I shall intrude upon your atteeti :n for a very short time. An alteration has taken place in the last twelve months in the rules of the insti.utisn, which, during the last two or three years I have constantly pro' wed. I allude to that alters ion in reference to the smetint • f insurance. Tile policy was before this restricted to 504/., and the alteratiott now limits it to 1,0001. 1 hat alteration wail contribute roe terially to the success of this ins itutinn. I have striven for this point, and I have been io a minority itoen it, until the present time. I feel great satisfaction that the al• teration has taken place, and although I cid nut know it until I entered the room to-night, 1 can assure the gentlemen present that the success of t , is institution has been greatly accelerated by it; and such will be its effect that in tire course of a few years the managers will have to go further than that. The CHAIRMAN—The report does not lead to any point as to the future alteration of the benefit fund, and therefore these remarks are a little out of order. Mr. Lxwie—Had not the report led to that point I should not have spoken upon it, but as I found some reference to it I alluded to it. The success of this institution will be such that in a few years an alteration will be compelled to be made. Those who have given their attention to lite assur ance will find that the greater amount of policies are far above 5001., or even 1,0001. They are at present limited to 1,0004 in this institution, but as the business increases the amount must increase also. In the neighbourhood—in Grace church-street—an establishment was conducted on the same principle. It had only existed eleven years and was yet in its intancy, and yet the income was from 90,0001. to 100,0001. I shall conclude by saying that I hope to live to see the in come of this institution as much.—(Cheers.) The CaetaNtaze then pat the report to the meeting, and it was unanimously adopted. Mr. MAITLAND then proposed the second resolution . " That on the 31st of May next, or such other day as the board may appoint, due notice of the same being given to the members, a special meeting be held for the purpose of elect ing two additional annuitants, one being a member, the other the widow of a member duly qualified according to the rules." He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, the resolution which I have to propose is one which gives me great pleasure to put to the meeting. That resolution affords a proof of the progress of this association; and I do trust from year to year to ascertain that the same kind attention has been given by the trustees. I have no doubt that the gentlemen who have already greatly assisted to form the strengh of the establishment will continue to do as they have already done. You all know and feel how fairly, and by what means, this association has been supported by the principals of houses, and what large stuns have been raised, and you must also feel that assistance can only effectually be given to the association by the clerks themselves. It is to their benefit to promote it. I do not say these words in discourage !tient, for you have heard, that during the past year, 150 new members have entered one department, and 374 another, which is a strong proof of the progress of the institution, and the favourable manner in which it is going on. You are all aware that the clerks of this country are not numbered by hundreds or thousands, but by tens of thousands, and I hope that out of that numerous body many will still augment the numbers of this association by your means, as the augmenta tion is an object of considerable importance to this institu tion. I have to apologise for the trespass upon your time, and 1 will conclude by moving theadoption of this resolution. Mr. W. G. Iltnasort seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting, and it Was carried unanimously. Mr. JoNEs then proposed the third resolution, which wag— " That the warmest thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby presented to the treasurer arid trustees, for their continued patronage and support." He said—As chairman of the board of managers, I have the pleasure on this occa sion to move a vote of thanks to the trustees and treasurer, have no occasion to say anything upon this subject, and shall merely move the resolution without any remark at 11, as it is unnecessary. Mr. Nat.cil seconded the resolution, which was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then said Gentlemen, I wished Mr. Hankey to return thanks, because first of all, he would do it much better than I can, and also because I have it done so so often, that I am unable to find different words to convey my thanks to you, and I hay., indeed, only one form of do ing so. Mr. Hankey and others have talked this evening about what has been done for you by myself andothers, but I say do not trust to that. The institution is not worth helping if it wants help. The institution is in itself able to take care of itself, and it recommends itself to public support, and is consolidated by the -endeavours of the principal and the clerks. It has many advantages, and which Ido not believe are owing to the help from the principals, but because the in stitution is safe and good in itself. As long as it is so, and is properly managed, I believe it will flourish, whether helped or not. lam sure that I speak the sentiments, not only of tp self, but of all the other trustees, when I assure you that it has afforded, and continues to afford, all the principals the most unfeigned satisfaction. It-is a good institution, because it is carefully, and because carefully, well and safely ma naged. Th it in an institution like the present is of consi proviaence, Let., the chi ks. It is a fund which is formed by the labour of the clerks themselves, and to which the sick and distressed may look forward with certainty to re , eive relief without disgrace to themselves, as it is the result of their own for bearance, providence, and care, and also that of their fellow labourers in the same cause. Gentlemen, not only on my own part. but on the part of those gentlemen with me, thank you for your expression of feeling, and I can assure you that with equal warmth of feeling we wish prosperity to the institution and to you. . Mr. RENNEtL said—Mr. Smith and gentleman, in rising to propose the fourth resolution of the evening, I shall take the opportunity of saying a few words. Although it appears from the report that the number of new subscribers this year has incroased, as compared with any former year, still the amount subscribed is very small indeed when we consider the vast number of clerks in this metropolis and in the country, who are each capable of putting down their guinea to the institution. There are many who feel disposed, and, no doubt, do subscribe more than one cr two to different charities, but I say that before they give their guineas to any charity let them come to the Provident Clerks' Institution, because it is the most closely ass°• elated with their interests. I did certainly ex pect, from the large increase in the assurer ce department, to have had a greater increase to the benevolent fund, and as far as my own exertions go, 1 have made a great many converts to the institution. All I can do is to endeavour to persuade you to act in a similar manner. If every one of you endeavours to persuade your fellow clerks, and find it difficult to succeed, tease them-- (Laughter)—until you become in fact a bore.—(Continued laughter.) I would venture to say that you would succeed at last. I have done so.—(Cheers.) I have been laughed at in many instances, but I have succeeded. The resolution I have the pleasure to move is—" That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to the auditors, medical officers both in town and ccentry, to the actuary, and the honorary solici tors, for their valuable services during the past year." Mr. Jams said—Sir, I beg leave to second the resolution which Mr. Rennell has just moved, anti I am sure that al though there is ample room for me to make a long speech if I wish so to do—for here are our auditors, medical officers, both in town and country, the actuary, and the honorary so - citors, to speak about—yet, sir, I think there is no neces sity for my doing so, as we all know that to these gentlemen our thanks are in an especial manner due, and I shall there fore content myself with seconding the proposition, which I do with the greatest pleasure. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried. Mr. COLEMAN said—ls rising to ask your concurrence to this resolution, I am sure that I shall have an easy task, and you will at once be prepared to allow this when I read the resolution to you. It is —" That the best thanks of this meeting are due to the board of mana gers for their continued attention and devotion to the interest of the association." I think that if the resolutions which have preceded this have obtained your unanimous support, this will follow as a matter of course. It is necessary for the well-being of this society that the board of management should olosely attend to its interests, and in the report pre sented to us to-night we have a convincing proof of sacrifices made, which entitles them to our gratitude. We see sums subscribed to the institution which have been the means of benefiting many. When we refer to this we must envy the feelings of those gentlemen who have been the means of effecting so much good among a class so interesting as those connected with this association. I think that, as a general rule, the affairs of this institution have been admirably conducted ; and if we descend to particulars—and I can speak of these which affected myself—the same care and attention will be found to be exhibited. It will be re membered that on a former occasion I ventured to call the attention of the board of management to the eastern "art of London. Soon after that I received a communication re questing me to call at the office. I did so, and gave the best information I could with respect to the means of dissemi nating a knowledge of the association in that part of the metropolis. I am happy to say that they met my views on this subject. I then endeavoured to gain the consent of some influential gentleman in that part of London to take the chair at a public meeeting, and 1 am happy to say that a meeting is to take place in the Eastern Institution on the 25th March, and that George Frederick Young, Esq., has consented to attend and to preside on the occasion.--(Cheers.) If appli cations similar to these were made throughout the various works in that quarter of the city, we should soon have a number of contributors sufficient to satisfy the gentleman who has lately spoken. I hope and trust that many of those I see now around me will give us their support on that occa sion, and, if I may trespass so far , we should wish, sir, (addressing the Chairman) to have your assistance at the East end, and I sin sure you shall receive as welcome l a e reception from us as you would in the cit y of London. merits of the institution are so obvious, that when I asked the gen tleman I have already named to p reside over our meeting, he said. I see a number of influential names connected with the association, but these have not so much merit in my eyes as the real benefits of the institution have. — (Cheers.) I think that if we could manage to enlist your assistance we could add materially to the extension of the association. I have much pleasure in moving that the best thanks of this meeting are due to the board of managers for their continued attention and devotion to the interests of the association. Mr. OS3IOND LEWIS said that the resolution wl.ich he was requested to second was only placed in his hands on enteriLsg the room, and he could net resist the temptation to do se when he had glanced at its object. lie had, therefore, great pleasure in seconding it; and, after the able way in which it had been brought forward, he would not add another word in support of it. The CHAIRMAN, in putting the resolution, added leis ' viction that they possessed in the board of managersbcoodn; of gentlemen eminently qualified to ensure success in hod branches of the institution. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. R. 11. JONES said—Nlr. Smith end gentlemen, I am extremely obliged to you for the kindness with which I you have passed this resolution, and if there is anything that recta from t pleasure this Waning; a absence of e deputy. *rman, sil absence the more to be deplored" I regret to say, that I believe he is on his death-bed. I may mention, asShowing the interest he took in theprosperity of: this institution, that in his delirious moments nothing bat " Provident Clerks' Association "escapes his lipi ; and let me add that idea pervades the feelings and prompts all the ex ertions of your managers. I beg to assure yon that every manager devotes the best energies of his mind, as far as eir. cumstances and other duties will allow, to the best interests of the association.—(Cheers.) I have the pleasure of announcing that in the present year the institution is going on in the same satisfac tory . manner th a t it did in the past years. We have many new subscribers to the benevolent fuiid, and three ad ditional ones since elitering the ,room this evening.— (Cheers.) We have completed 76 policies during the present year, representing a sum of 16,0501. ; we have 17 proposals accepted, and only wanting payments to complete them; and -.- 23 are waiting examtnatien.—(Cheers.) I think that, with that statement before us, all that has been said of the satis factory progress he association is well borne out.— (Cheers.) Mr. OSMOND LEWIS said—l beg to propose that the thanks of this meeting be given to the secretary of the institution. I I du not kin w that I am out of order in this course, but feel , ingas I do that the success of this institution has principally ' ari.en from the able management of the board, assisted by our excelle,:t secretary, I could not, although I have not the happiness of a personal arquaintai ce with him, resist the plea sure of proposing that the beat thanks of the meeting should be given to him —fencers.) stir. TA !MANI' had wiviessed the t-uasing efforts of the secretary in f,,riner years, as iu the present, to (miry out the sue, ens of the institution, and be would have great pleasure in s. eondii,g the resolution.

He spoke of the kind feeling existing between the board of managers and myself. N..w we are always q u arrelling—(Laughter) — an d I will tell you the cause of the quarrel. It is which of us will do the most to advance the interests of the association. (Cheert.) But I cannot say more, or say better, than this... such has been the celebrity which the Provident Clerks have achieved that it has extended even to the Antipodes ; and I have received a letter from the secretary of the Sydney, New South Wales, Provident Institution—(Loud cheers) _ . asking us in London to advise, counsel, and direct them in their movements.—(Continued cheering) I think that no better evidence need exist of increased prosperity, or of what we are capable of doing, than this which is before us —the tact that our fame has reached the other side of the globe. We are now sitting by candle light, and they are, ,perhaps, sitting by sun-light, and if we cannot communicate by the electric telegraph, we, at all events, shake bands together,-. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I thank yon. This compliment is undeserved, as it was uncalled for, and I feel grateful for it. Mr. PRICE said,. I rise now to perform a melancholy , task, because it is the closing scene; I have to move—" That the armest thanks of this meeting be presented to J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., for his kindness in presiding this evening, and fur the continued and deep interest he has shown in promot ing the success and prosperity of the association," 1 . need not occupy your time by expatiating upon this- resdati • yow all see what he does for us.—(Cheers.) Although all do not know so well as the board of management bow much of his valuable time be bestows upon the affairs of this in stitution, or the kind and handsome manner in which he re ceives the board of management when we require to worry him with some particular details, lam sure that you will all join me most cordially in this resolution. Mr. DAWSON felt great pleasure in seconding it. The CHAIRMAN, who rose amid loud cheering, which con tinued for some time, said—Gentlemen, I assure you I am • not going to trouble you with a second speech. I can only repeat what I have said before now, that I thank you for this good nature and kindness to me. There is one thing, however, to which I wish to call your attention, as it fur nishes a striking example of the success of this institution. Mr. Jones ought to have mentioned it, but I suppose he forgot it. In the two months of 1847 we have done, in the assurance office, 501. more than in the whole year of 1844. (Loud cheers.) I think that if we talk to this time next year we cannot add one word to that fact ; and, although I cordially agree with the gentleman to my left (Mr. Rennell), that the guineas which we have received for the benevolent fund are vastly dispro portioned to the number of clerks in the metropolis, I believe that a time will come when those who are partakers of the great advantages which the guinea confers will think these too great to be extended to other individuals at the like price of a guinea a year. This is the case with all asso ciat ions which have got rich and prosperous. They naturally and justly feel, and it becomes with them a question, whether new subscribers should have the benefit of these advantages for the original subscription. I sincerely hope and trust that, as this is' the case, the words of my friend on my left will sink into the minds of those present. I do trust, also, that as you admit the efficiency of the board, we may observe that members should co-operate with us in extending the benefits of the institution. With these few remarks I Like my leare, bidding you all good night, and I trust that when we meet again we shall have the same pleasant task to perform that we have had to do this night. . The Chairman, on leaving, was loudly cheered. The meet ing then separated. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM- PANIES' STOCK.
