CRIPPS has the ho nour o f announc i ng to the Ladies of Li verpoo l . an d t h e S trangers en rou t e , the termination of another visit to Paris, expressly undertaken for the purpose of rnaleittrairfiVete his arrangements with the parties he h as em pl oye d t o weave t h ose beautiful productions ; they are a ly selected from designs executed by the hand in the Gobelins of Paris, each separate pattern of which has i ed years of labour to the inmates of that Institution. The importance of such a v i s it a t this particular period e estimated by the extraordinary competition, and consequent changes and improvements, the coming Exhibitioi wrought in all the various textile fabrics of France, more particularly in Shawls. They are now on the Premises in quantities, ready for inspection, and he is prepared to submit to the inspection of his Customers an amo un t o f novelty and attraction never before offered by any one House; and as his new Establishment is unquestionably the largest for Shawls and Mantles in Europe, so lie is determined that his Stock shall bear a corre sponding reputation for magnitude. Oae of the distinctive features of his New Tapia, or Bouquet Shawl, in real Carpet Work, is their immense size, enveloping the figure in their graceful and ample fold s . A not h er i s their undoubted superiority over British in point of intrinsic worth, while, f or style and flowering, they exhibit the most exquisite taste, and are, indeed, a perfect garden of flowers in miniature. The NewiFipli; * or Bouquet Cachmere Shawl, is decidedly the greatest novelty of the last half-century; and as it is certain they will be both ,- carce and dear as the season advances, Ladies will do well - to provide themselves from tnis magnificent Stock, which in London has no equal. At the same time, Mr. CRIPPS wishes to impress on the minds of his Customers the fact, that simultaneously with the op e ni ng o f hi s l arge an d commo di ous new P remis es, he effected a Reduc tion in the scale of his Profits, the success of which has already been amply tested, and now remains a permanent feature.

EXTRAORDINARY and SUCCESSFUL RESIST ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S "HOLDFAST" and FIRE RESISTING SAFE. THE STRONGEST SAFEGUARD EXTANT AGAINST ROBBERY AND E.V/rE Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Wa and Co., (late Watson Erothers,) applied to Thos. Mil and Son, to construct for them one of their strong Hol st Safes or Chests, to contain 10,000 dollars in silver, fo s safe conveyance over the moun tains from the mines t ample°. The Gentleman writing for the Safe was at th ime lying confined to his bed from a bullet and two ba net wounds he had received in an attack of the Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safi he then used was broken up and plundered of a large amount of specie. The Safe and Wagon constructed for it were ex hibited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met with great approval from several of our engineers and prac tical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of tho Public, and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Watson, who Las since given us permission to publish it. "Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850. "Mr. WI.TSON presents his compliments to Mr. thliNl3ll, and has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter, dated the Ilth ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico "The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bare of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Caton and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve ure to open th. Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from San Luis Potosi. "This is very satisfactory, and don you credit, and will, no doubt, lead to further orders." The whole of the outside of this Safe was half inch wrought iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other vio lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we invite the attention of the Public.

OLD TIMES AND OLD WAYS Tailors' bills were monstrous high, Yet, none asked the reason why, No one let the clothing sinner Take from bis appetite for dinner ; Each got his bill, and straightway wed it With the thoughts of boundless credit, To its name scarce giving breath, Deeming it remote as death ; Never for a moment bent To make a speedy settlement, Still averting, day by day, The time when they the must pay, Yet knowing some d ust come due, Their tailor's de nd nature's too. Now the pla ' ifferent quite, Men look ough another light ; Moder odes and modern fashion Mak men love in style to dash on ; Up and down the street they pace, With far more speed than grace : But they calculate the day When they trade accounts must pay, And they know life's greatest ills ♦re enormous tailors' hills ; ♦nd to aid their modern plan All own Hymi is the man. His prompt system quickly shows What each man requires for clothes ; They know he always is curtailing Expense by schemes that's never failing ; And thus it is that he has the art To draw their custom to his Mart ; And thus it is his every action Gives to all men satisfaction, And makes him through long years inherit The palm for cheapness, taste, and merit !

The THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL. GENERAL COURT of this Socturv. was held within the Royal Hotel, (Gibb's,) on Tues day, the 4th of March, in terms of, and for the purpcses speci fied in, the articles of constitution,—ANTHONY MURRAY, Esq., of Dollerie, W.S., in the Chair. The minutes of the last General Court were reed and approved. The Manager. then read the Report by the Directors of the proceedings of. the last year, from which it appeared 1. That the number of Policies passed during the year had been 716, the sums Assured amounting to -018;169 145., and the annual contributions to 416,64 .5d., being an excess over those passed in the pr us Year to the ex tent of 116 in the number of Pol - s, and of £76,104 35. in the amount Assured. 2. That the average amount of ;trances passed during the last I.3.years had exceede alf a million annually. 3. That the total amount o e Society's engagements at the close of the year 1 .. exclusive of Bonus additions, 1 amounted to £ 6,9 , l3s. 7d. 4. That the Capital o the Society bad increased during the year to the ext tof 4142,643 3s. ld., and amounted at 31st Decemb last to .42,310,149 12s. 2d. 5. That th e A n al Revenue of the Society amounted at 31st Decembe ast to 4306,511 15s. 10d. 6. That of e Lives assured by the Society in existence at the coffimencement of the year 1850, 94 had died during that Year, the sums for which they were assured amount ing to 4110,894 Bs. 4d., and the Bonus additions attach ing to the Policies at the date of their emergence amount ing to £27,513 Bs. Id. 7. That the above sum of £110,894 Bs. 4d., and the number of deaths, were in the ratio of 57 per cent. of what might have been exnected, accordinv, to the tables of mortality upon which the Society's calculations are based. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and moved the approval of the Report; and the motion having been carried by acclamation, he said—You have been pleased to approve of the Report of the Directors ; and it now devolves upon me, having the honour to occupy this chair, to address a few words to you, almost reca pitulating that which is contained in the report—not for the purpose of adding any facts to those which are there stated, but rather in order to endeavour to impress them more deeply upon your attention. I will begin by observing that the facts contained in the report are founded upon figures, and are, therefore, hardly to be challenged—(hear, hear;)—and it is in consequence the less necessary for me to say much about them. I may, however, remark, that th-se facts are rather agreeable ones, because we find ourselves, after a year somewhat of de pression, as that of 1849 was, at last replaced in the situation of considerable advancement. (Applause.) We find, for exam ple, from the report, that, while in the year 1849 the Directors had passed 600 policies, they have passed during the past year of 1850 as many as 716, being an increase of 116 over those passed in the previous year. We alto find that upon these lives the amount insured in 1849 amounted to 4422,000, while in 1850 it amounted to .4498,169 148., or very nearl*half a million. (Cheers.) I think that these are encoura4ng facts. Another gratifying fact alluded to in the report, and one which naturally follows from "hat I have just stated is this, that the average of our yearly business has not fallen off. That for a period of thirteen years, the average amount of business done by the Society has exceeded half a million annually. I think that that simple circumstance shows us that °LL.D. Association continues to retain the confidence of the punlic. (Hear, hear.) Our engagements now amount (exclusive of Abe bonus additions attaching to the policies,) to very nearly.seven mil. lions sterling, the exact sum being 46,920,591, 13s. 7d. That is the extent of the obligations under which vie lie to the pub lic, who hold our policies. The capital, by which we are ena bled so far to meet these engagements—the really invested capital—amounts to £2,310,149 12s. 2d., with an annual revenue of £306,511 155. 10d. That revenue, you will observe, is more than dcuble the amount which we paid in, the courseof the past year, under emerged policies; and that revenue,, as you have heard it stated, so far as it arises from the Society's capi tal, is derived, not from uncertain Bootees, but from the best security which can be found in Great . Britain. There is an other agreeable circumstance mentioned in the report. I be lieve it is not unusual,-1 believe it is to be found elsewhere, — viz., That during the past year the mortality among the mem bers of this Assaciation has been less than during th preceding year, and that, too, although of course the number of lives insured has increased, and the ages of those lives have also increased. Notwithstanding this, the number of lives that have fallen during the past year is only 94, being a decease of 17 as compared with 1849, when the number of persons insured who died was 111. This, as I have already stated, is an encou raging and agreeable circumstance; but it is a circumstance which we must observe with caution, because it will occur to every gentleman here present, as I daresay it also occurred to the Directors, that these vicissitudes in the number 4 fallen lives only show us the uncertainty of one year's casualties com pared with those of another; and therefore, we arejustitied,aswe think, in maintaining our present practice of a division of pro fits only at considerable intervals, viz., seven years. During that time we are enabled to ascertain with more accuracy than we could otherwise do, the true state of mortality amongst our members. While I feel called upon to make this remark, which I believe to be a proper one, I also remark another cir cumstance in the management of this Association, which is this, that while we divide our profits only once every seven years, we, at the time of declaration, set aside what is necessary not merely to secure a Bonus for th 3 past seven years, but for the seven years which must necessarily elapse before another declaration takes place—that is to say, looking forward to the certainty that some of the policies must fall, by the death of the members during the course of the succeeding seven years, we, at the period of declaration, set aside a sum from the re alised funds, for the purpose of meeting the payment of a prospective bonus upon those that may fall, so that any policy that falls during the next year, or in anyone of the seven years before another declaration is made, is entitled to receive its share of the bonus, not only accruing when the previous de claration was made, but in addition also corresponding to each year that has since elapsed. In this manlier no disadvantage arises from postponing the p, riod of actual investigation or declaration • because let a member die wh en ha may, his repre sentatives draw a bonus for each year that he has been a con tributor to the funds of the Society. The auto which has already been divided, or which may be divided amongst the representatives of the 94 persons who died durint , !aft year, amounts to £110,894 Bs. 4d., being the origi nal sum for which they were assured, anti the bonus additions attaching to their policies is 427,513 Bs. Bd., making altoge ther the sum of 4138,407. Now, it occurs to me that the stint for which we have become liable by the death of our members during the past year is very satisfactory evidence of the benefit derived from the Association by the community. The division of this sum amongst 94 individuals must give to each indivi dual 41400 or 41500—a very comfortable sun' indeed. (Hear, hear.) Then, coincident with the diminution in.the number of lives that have fallen during the past year, the average tnor tality has, of course, decreased. Instead of being 634 per cent., as it was in 1849, it was last year oily 57 per cent. upon what might have been anticipated, according to the bills of mortality on which the Society's tables are based; and this decrease in the rate of mortality i s a ll t h e more st'i king, seeing, as I have already remarked, that the number of members and the ave rage age of the lives was increased during 1850 (Hear, hear.) These are the principal features in the statistics stated in the report read by the manager. Before proceeding any further, I may remind the meeting of what has been already stated by the manager, that we have on the table a report by three gen tlemen,—Mr. Brown, accountant, Mr. Melville, W.S., and Mr. Brand, Secretary to the Union Bank,—eminent fot their pro fessional qualifications, who were called upon by the Extraor dinary Court of Directors to report upon your affairs. That report, as has been stated, h as b een placed in the hands of the members; but if any member may not have received it, he will be supplied with a copy of it, by applying at the Office. In that report a most satisfactory state is exhibited of the.po sition of the Society. (Hear, hear.) I obseived in a previous part of my statement, that your affairs are founded upon facts and figures ; and it will be seen from the report to which I am now referring, that the most careful examination was made to verify the figures upon which these facts are based ; and that the result was, that it was found that the funds of the Society are safely invested, that its affairs have been prudently admi nistered, and that the system of book-keeping and checks is as nearly perfect as any institution can possess. We trust that the meeting will regard what is stated in this report, and also in the annual report just submitted, as very satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) We have alluded to the successful results of last year. We do so with perfect confidence, referring not to any thing in our Institution as compared_ with others, but to its ownintrinsic and individual merits Looking aro , ind us, we see many institutions somewhat similarly based. We hail them all, not as rivals or competitors, but simply as assistants Kuuu wurec ' estaonsnea tor .... .....------- ... the benefit of their individual me m b ers, and those w.ho may choose to take advantage of the system of Lite Insurance. (Applause.) There are various means for effecting this object, and various ways of taking advantage of this system, but we ;nk think that the experience of thirty-seven years justifies us in adhering to our own system —a system which we have found to :work remarkably well, and which we find has passed through at least a few years of trying ordeal, and I may say muinpnant success. (Loud applause.) It is, howe ver much we may regard oth er ki n d red institutions with satisfac tion and goodwill, a natural desire on the part of the Members of this Society to endeavour to find others who will follow their example; and we trust that the results we have now exhibited will be no small inducement to draw them towards us. Every one connected with us has connections in some way or other, whether by relationship or otherwise, to whom he may recom mend the example, which he has himself set—of insuring his life. We can do so—not in any spirit of selfishness, because it must be remembered, that of the thousands who have insured their lives, not one of them will receive the benefit himself. They must all die before the benefit of what they have done can be reaped ; and, therefore, it is from no spi r it o f selfish ness, or with a desire hastily to be rich, that we recommend life insurance to others. We recommend it simply upon the principle, and in the spirit of a well-regulated industry, and of a vigorous and manly self-denial in the use of those advan tages which we derive from our professbnal avocations. (The Chairman resumed his seat amid great applause.)
