YOu have been called together for the purpose of receiving from the Directors the Report of their proceedings doling the past year: It has been the privilege of the different gentlemen who have filled the chair which I now occupy, to congratulate you on the creasing prosperity of the Institution; a privilege which I am glad to say still remains to me.- You will hear from the Report that we have done a larger amount of business than has ever been done in any former year of the Society's existence ; and• it must be gratifying to us to know that the number of Policies opened friam . the • cominencement exceeds that of any other Office in Scotland at the same eriod of .its history.. It is with no purpose of drawing an invidious comparison between our selves and kindred Societies that I make this remark.. I men tion it simply as a fact, which, while it is calculated to give us encouragement, must also be gratifying to its as members of society in general inasmuch as it - shows that the va'ue of Life Assurance . is becoming more widely appreciated. Owing to the extent of disease which has prevailed during the last year, the Members will naturally expect that a greater amount of mortality has taken place among ourselves. While such is the case, we have cause for congratulation that the deaths, though exceeding the number in former years, have not, even in the past year, reached the number exhibited in the Tables of the • Society ; and I may remind you of the fact, that up to the period of investigation two years since,. the deaths did not greatly exceed one-half of the calculated amount. (Applause.) You will have observed by the notice calling: the meeting, that steps have been taken to secure an - Act of Parliament. confer ring the benefits and r r:viteges of Incorporation. This wilt be fully explained to you. , I may state, however, that it makes no • material change in the Deed of Constitution. It only alters some matters of minor detail, and makes such provisions as are rendered necessary . by the extension of our business in England. It only remains for me to notice, that the greatest harmony has existed among the Directors of the Institution, - during the past year, as during all of that time I do not think ve have been called upon to take a single vote. , Whatever, 'erefore, comes before you, has been brought forward with sent. (Applause.) _ . !r unani Mr. Do: ALD SNIITII I nvener of the Committee. As one of the Directors who retire at this time, mitted to compare the state of the Society, in o ticulars, at the end of this, its tenth year ;iciklg some ,y be per- ihiaia - great deal of insuraneebusiness is done ; and it is very , 4ppitrettft how greatly such a system must withdraw the profits froiwthose who alone contribute to their being formed.

This is the principle on which. lle•main improvement made by Mr. Cleghorn hinges. And," oug.h-the prosperity of this Institution has been very remark . ,ditloaLarri far from being surprised, at it; and I am persuaded' that,, 'e more its principles are known and studied, the more faVdur will it receive from the public. 1 desire to make no- in vididus comparison with other similar Institutions: I rejoice tbetprosperity of all of them, because I see in that prosperity much that must conduce to the moral and economical welfare Of the s community. And all I wish is, that, in the details of tlieirmianagement, they should be guided by sound and scien. ' lific principles. . I observe that, every year since the com-. nlericefilent of this Institution, its business has been steadily, 7 attl . progressively . increasing. I see that, during its first year, 182'1+olicies were issued, and that, in each succeeding year, the: , number has been re-ularly increasing, till, during - last year, , they ;mounted to 472, being 56 above the preceding year. Al. lew sue, then, to congratulate thii meeting on the g rowin g prosperity of the Institution, and to propose the following mo- • • tien Which has been put into my hands?--". That the Meeting approVe of the Report by time' Directors, now read, and confirm: the=appointments thereby made ; farther, approve of the Bill introduced into Parliament by the Directors, entitled A Bill, for Incorporating the Scottish Provident InstitutiOn, for con- • , firrning the Laws and Regulations thereof, for enabling th e ' Sociely to sue and be sued, to take and to hold' property, arid' forother purposes relating to said Society,' which has now been : read ; 'and of the alterations upon the Deed of Constitution proposed to be thereby effected ; and authorise the Director . to' proceed with the requisite measures for having the Bill Passed . into a law, subject to such alterations as may be made lty Plrlitur ent, or as may be considered expedient by the Comdel to whom it shall be remitted by the Directors for revisal:" y. JOHN M'CRAw said, before agreeing to adopt at once the latter-part of the motion, although I hare every confidence in the Directors, I would like to be informed what are the precise alterations which the Bill referred to makes in our Deed of Constitution ? my.

His father and -mother were persons in hunable life; but of great respectability. John, their only son and child; was a King's scholar in Durham Grammar School, undel Dr. Britton ; and, from January to October; 1812, lid Wok• private lessons in mathematics from Mr. Carr; Dr.;Britton's successor in the school, who had a high opinion of his talents and attainments. I n October, 1812, Mr. Gfaham took up his residence in •Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated as fourth wrangler in 1816. In'the same year he obtained a chan cellor's medal. In 1830 he was elected master of his cot leap, when he 'took tliedegree of Doctor of Divinity. In 1831, ancl•again in 1840; he served the office of Vice-chan t cellar. His . lordship is d prebendary of Li nco l n , an d i s a l a i 'Chaplain to Prince Albert. He is married to a daughter 'of the late Bishop Poreetrs, and has a numerous family. !Id Nov., 1846, whell' Dr. Short was translated from the see of SadorandMan to St. Asaph, Dr. Graham was recommended by the government as Dr. Short's successor to the former see, but the appointment was -declined by 'Dr. Graham, when the' late lamented Archdeacon Shirley was promoted to the bishopric. _ . . We believe that Dr. Graham has kept aloof very much from the contending parties in the church, but he is obvi- ously averse to all unnecessary au—._ politics he is even more than a Whig, we hope, We hear, he will be found a conservative of the real in terests of the church.

The Directors do not propose to supply . their place in the mean time, but to.conduct the business in immediate connec tion with the Head Office-z-fir which the rapid itnturoon rd.

In regard to the Glasgow Branch, the directors i have much satisfaction in reporting that its . progress is, in all respects, satisfactory,• and that a large increase of business has been made in the year. They have also the pleasure of reporting the continued interest taken in the Society by the gentlemen asso ciatedas an Honorary Board in Manchester. In the circular letters auto advertisements calling this meet ing, the contributors were made aware that the preliminary steps have been taken • for obtaining from Parliament an ' Act conferring on the Society the privileges and benefits of town , poration. The. Bill contains a few slight alterations•Qn some of the minor details of the .deed of constitution. Thcse have already been unanimously approved of by two consecutive : special meetings of the Board of Directors, to the latter of which the Auditors and Trustees were invited . ---all in terms of Act 37 of the Deed of Constitution. The Directors have further to report that, a vacancy.havisig occurred in their number, by the resignation of Mr.. Robert Robertson, they unanimously nominated Mr. A ITKE N MEGOET,. one of the original Directors, in his place. A vacancy having also occurred in the body of Trustees, by. the death of one of their number, the Directors unanqmously appointed to that office Mr. CHARLES COWAN, Member of Par liament for the City. . . • It remains for this meeting to confirm these appointments, -as well as to appoint three Directors in room of the' three at the top of the list, who now retire in terms of the rules. The heads of the Bill for Incorporation, referred to in the report, having been read, and the Bill laid on the table , — Mr. JOHN SEMANTIC :MOHE, Profesior of Scots Law in the University of Edinhurgh said,—l have been somewhat unex pectedly called upon to propose a motion for the adoption of this meeting, which, however, I do. with thegreatestTleasure, because I have always taken a deep interest in the sue&ss and prosperity of this Institution. I had many interesting consul tations with my late friend Mr. Cleghorn, before this Institution was formed, and 1 was so satisfied of the sound and : scientific principles on which it was based, that 1 never doubted that, as soon as they came to be understood, it wonld meet with that general favour and support which I am glad to see it has, to such an extent, received. There were two great principles on which Mr. Cleghorn proceeded. The first was to make the Premiums as low as was consistent witli the entire safety of the Institution, and so as to secure, beyond all risk, the fulfilment of its obligations. In this respect, most of the existing Assur ance Companies bad been misled by the Northampton tables, and had made the Premiums for young which I in clude ages up to fifty or so—much higher than was necessary, while their tables for the older lives were somewhat too low. This error was perceived by Mr. Cleghorn, who, from more recent and better calculated mortality tables, found that the premiums.for these younger lives could be safely and very con siderably reduced; and he framed a table which all subsequent experience lies proved to be singularly correct. lam happy to say that, since this table was framed by Mr. Clegborn, the Registrar-General of England has appended to one of his late Reports a table for the gnidance of Life Assurance Societies and it is ee►y gratifying table are nearly th to find that the rates specified in that ame, end in many instances precisely the ,is Institution. sow one of the chief and resulting from this redaction of the pre• miums upon the younger lives is, that it, operates as a direct bonus in favour of .every. Insurer, when the premiums of this Institution are contrasted with those payable to,the older As surance Societies. It operates in this way. A person bf twenty years of. age, insuring with this Institution. can, for the pay ment of the same annual sum which other offiCes would demand for insuring aloo, insure here Xll5 or .'l2O, payable imme diately on his death. The Premium payable to this Institution for ~100 is £1 15s. Pd., while, in other Offices, it is ~62 Is. 6t1., or or £2 3s. 2d., and, in some, still higher. There is thus an immediate and certain benefit secured by the - lower - rates of premium. lint the second, and most important improvement suggested by Mr. ('leghorn was this, that if any profits should be made, after paying an - expenses and securing all the obliga tions, as must be the care, even •at his reduced rates of mium, these were not to he frittered away among those insurers, or their representatives, whose contributions .to the *general fund could never possibly: have tOuled to make such profits; but should be reserved for distribution among those contritni tors whose payments into the general fund hail come to be equal to the sum assured.: .711 e importance of this, improvement has never, I think, been -sufficiently estimated. And truly the practice which has prevailed in .several highly respectable and flourishing Alutual Assurance SoCieties, of giving a' share of what they call their bonuses or pe•ofits to the representatives of every insurer, who has been such for five years, is, to say the least, very strange, and seems to indicate very limited know ledge of the true principles of life Assurance. It reminds me of the old rule byl.whi h originally all lives, whether young or old, were equally insured at the same insariable rate of 5 per cent. The absurdity of this rule was soon - discovered ; but truly the other is not flinch less absurd. Why, in five or seven years, every life should get the same share of what are called profits, is utterly incomprehensible.. The delay is plainly in tended to approximate somewhat to the num assured 1 but this can never besione upon reasonable principles, till there be a. graduated. scale, Corresponding to the age of the parties, he. cording to which the pretits shall be distributed among the policies which fa11...1f any Office were to insure a person at 75 years of age, which, I flare say; few ()dices would do, I :haw no doubt the . premiums .would be so high that, in five years, it would approximate to the sew ittsured; itrul if this sum were 4'loo, &MA if. 2 per cent. yearly of„profits were to lie added, for each of the five years, supposing the policy then to fall, the sum 'payable would be iO. • But, suppose , a young man of nsure £lOO at .t . 2 a year, and to pay the iwemitun f -oars, and then to die, his representatives would I r qually dr per cent. yearly upoii his policy, and would also Fe .i. 11 0; hat all that the office would receive by this transaetion o'ou/it he premiums which bad been p, t id.

The respected incumbent of the ,chureh has himself borne spontaneous testimony to this fact. "1 am persuaded," says he, "that the stove is not in any way the origin of the fire in my church. In this 1 am corroborated by all the. practical men I have called into assist mq in forming a judgment. My confi denc3 in it is as great as before.
