DEAFNESS CURED, AND ALL DISEASES OF THE EAR. MR. BENNETT, the eminent AIIRIST, 28, NORTON STREET, Islington, Liverpool, has the honour of an nouncing his arrival in Liverpool from Lever-street, Manches ter, where, during a Six Months' Visit,(® persons have been permanently CURED by him of DEAFNESS, many having been Deaf from Twenty to Forty Years, to whom those simi larly afflicted may be referred. /For Lists of Cures performed there see Manchester and Birmingham Newspapers ; also' Reports of Cures perform gebl him. In cases of a recent n re instantaneous relief is afforded, without the slightest whilst those of a more inveterate nat e a few weeks suffices to perform a com plete and radical ctlre. Those afflicted are informed that he may be Consulted at his Residence, 28, Norton-street, Islington, Liverpool, every day, Sundays included, from Ten till Fire, on all diseases of the Ear. The infallible success attending his peculiar mode of treatment, being free from any of those dangerous and experimental ope rations usually reso r t e d to, is clearly exemplified by the nu merous cures performed by him, not only in Manchester and Birmingham, above referred to, but in almost every town in England, France, and America, coupled with the high Testi monials, both oral and documentary, from the Faculty, and the number of persons, still resident in the town, who have been cured by him, render any further comment unnecessary. Mr. Bennett's published Works on Diseases of the Ear and Deafness are admitted by the London and Provincial Press to be the best extant.

MORRIS have to announce a great • reduction in their prices of Woollen Goods of every description. During the sixteen years they have carried on Business in Lord-street, they have never been enabled to offer Goods so cheap as at present. In Plain Goods, both West of England and Yorkshire, there is a Reduction of from Ten to Fifteen per Cent., whilst all kinds of FANCY TROUSERINGS, whether English or Scotch, are fully TWENTY PER CENT LOWhR than at this time last ye ar . S a ti n , 'Velvet, and every other Material in VESTINGS, are also considerably cheaper. Our styles of FANCY GOODS, for the Season, are much approved of, and likely to insure an extensive demand. Our Stock being by far the largest in Liverpool, and the im mense variety of Fancy'Goods, from the finest quality in West of England Manufacture to a coarse Yorkshire Tweed, at a Shilling per yard, we have always by us, combined with the very small profits with which we are and ever have been satis fied, offers great advantages to Merchants, Shippers, Country Drapers, &c. We wish to call particular attention to a large Lot of Wool dyed Black and Invisible Green Superfine CLOTHS, which we can warrant perfectly fast colours, and are 62 inches in width, which we have bought under most advantageous circumstances, and which are much under value. The prices are 95., 10s. 6d., 125., and 135. 6d. Inferior qualities are sold in the town, every ' day, at from 15s. to 20s. per yard. We have also just bought a portion of the Stock of John Vevers, of London, Woollen Warehouseman, and of G. Mellor and Co., of Huddersfield, M anu f ac t u rers, both Bankrupts, at a reduction of 35 per cent., and which are now on sale. W. AND T. MORRIS, WOOLLEN WAREHOUSE, 80, LORD-STREET. March 16, 1848.

REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS, The Directors have again the pleasure of reporting a larger amount of new business in the past than in any previous year. The number of Policies issued has been 472 ; the sum assured by these amounting to £213,631 155., and the Annual Premiu ms to .6171 Os. sd. In addition to these, proposals for a large amount of Assurances were offered, but declined. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the past year has been one of extreme pressure on the resources of almost every class of society. So large an amount of new business could, there fore, have scarcely been anticipated; and it is peculiarly grati fying, as an evidence of the extension of Life Assurance gene rally, and of the growing conviction on the part of the public of the advantages offered by this Institution. It is interesting at the same time, in a general point of view, to notice that, so far as the Directors had the means of tracing, only a very small proportion of the Assurances were made in connection with loans, nearly the whole having been effected for purposes of family provision. The effect of the commercial occurrences of the past year, and of the general scarcity of money, has, how ever, been shown in a different way—in the unusually large number of Assurances which have been surrendered or allowed to expire, from inability to continue payment of the Premiums. While this is a result which, in its general aspect, is to be re gretted, there is no doubt it is yet a source of considerable gain to the common fund. capital sums has been 32, and the amount of claims thereby emerging £17,800; on the other hand three Annuities have fallen in, for two of which sums amounting to £l5OO had re cently been sunk. The third was of smaller amount. Consi dering the almost unprecedented mortality over the country, the Directors do not doubt that the Contributors would be pre pared to expect a higher rate in their own body than has occur red hitherto, and they consider they have cause for congratula tion in the fact that, notwithstanding their increased numbers, and the now advanced age of some of the members, the deaths in the year do not exceed one and a quarter per cent. of the whole number, a proportion considerably short of the average number provided for by the Tables of the Society. The net amount of Assurances subsisting at 31st December, 1847, was .t , 1,137,657 9s. ; and the income, from premiums alone, exclusive of revenue from accumulated fund, .131,344. The position of the London Branch has occupied much of the attention of the directors, during the year. After mature con sideration, they were unanimously of opinion that it was essen tial for the interests of the Society that a new agent should be appointed to conduct the business of the Branch. Unfortu nately, some difference of views regarding the constitution of the Branch, in relation to the general management of the Institution, occurred between the General Board and the Local Directors, which, they regret to say, resulted in the resignation of the latter gentlemen. To their influence is, undoubtedly, in a great measure, to be attributed the decided success which has attended the establishment of the Branch; and it is grati fying therefore to know, as the Directors do from the best of all evidence, that their withdrawal has not in any way dimi nished their good will towards the Institution, and that their influence will still be exerted in its favour. 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—for which the rapid communica tion between Edinburgh and London now affords increased facility. They have appointed Mr. WILMER Ow EN HARRIS to the office of Agent and Secretary, and they trust that, in this appointment and in their other arrangements, they have made provision for the continued and increased success of the Branch. In regard to the Glasgow Branch, the directors have much satisfaction in reporting that its progress is, in all respects, satisfactory, and that a large increase of business has been made in Ow year. They have also the pleasure of reporting the continued interest taken in the Society by the gentlemen asso ciated as an Honorary Board in Manchester. In the circular letters and 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 Incor poration. The Bill contains a few slight alterations on some of the minor details of the deed of constitution. These 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 having occurred in their number, by the resignation of Mr. Robert Robertson, they unanimously nominated Mr. AITKEN 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 unanimously appointed to that office Mr. CHARLES COWAN, Member otra4 , - liament for the City. It remains for this meeting to confirm these appoixlmer.its, as well as to appoint three Directors in room of thea at the top of the list, who now retire in terms of the rules,- The beads of the Bill for Incorporation, referred tr , in the report, having been read, and the Bill laid on the t&.l' air. JOHN SCMANK MORE Professor of &GU in the University of Edinburgh, said,—l have been sego, ewhat unex pectedly ca'led upon to propose a motion for tk ,e adoption of this meeting, which, however, I do with the Itr eatest pleasure, because I have always taken a deep inter e # 1 ' a the success and 1 1 prosperity of this Institution . I had marry .nteresting consul- tatins pith /117 1p4, 0 wend Mr, CleghQrq*P' efore this Institution was formed, and I was so satisfied of the sound and scientific principles on which it was based, that I never doubted that, as soon as they came to be understood, it would 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 with 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 had been misled by the Northampton tables, and lied made the Premiums for young lives—in 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 has proved to be singularly correct. lam happy to say that, since this table was framed by Mr. Cleghorn, the Registrar-General of England has appended to one of his late Reports a table for the guidance of Life Assurance Societies ; and it is very gratifying to find that the rates specified in that table are nearly the same, and in many instances precisely the same, with those of this Institution. Now one of the chief and immediate benefits resulting from this reduction 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 of 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 £lOO, insure here .ell 5 or .tl2O, payable imme diately on his death. The Premium payable to this Institution for £lOO is -el 15s. Bd., while, in other Offices, it is 21 s. 6d., 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. But the second, and most important improvement suggested by Mr. Cleghorn was this, that if any profits should be made, after paying all expenses and securing all the obliga tions, as must be the case, even at his reduced rates of pre mium, these were not to be frittered away among those insurers, or their representatives, whose contributions to the general fund could never possibly have tended - to make such profits, but should be reserved for distribution among those contribu tors whose payments into the general fund had come to be equal to the sum assured. The importance of this improvement has never, I think, been sufficiently estimated. And truly the practice which has prevailed in several highly respectable and flourishing Mutual Assurance Societies, of giving a share of what they call their bonuses or profits to the representatives of every insurer, who has been such for five years, is, to say the least, very strange, and seems to indicate a very limited know ledge of the true principles of Life Assurance. It reminds me of the old rule by which originally all lives, whether young or old, were equally insured at same invariable rate of 5 per cent. The absurdity of this rule was soon discovered ; but truly the other is not much 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 approximat e somew h at to t h e sum assured • but this can never be done upon reasona bl e pr i nc i ples, till there be a graduated scale, corresponding to the age of the parties, ac cording to which the profits shall be distributed among the policies which fall. If any Office were to insure a person at 75 years of age, which, I dare say, few Offices would do, I have no doubt the premiums would be so high that, in five years, it ivould approximate to the sum insured; and if this sum were .100, and if 2 per cent. yearly of profits were to be added, for each of the five years, supposing the policy then to fall, the sum payable would be .4'llo. But suppose a young man of 20 to insure 'lOO at £2 a year, and to pay the premium for five years, and then to die, his representatives would equally draw 2 per cent. yearly upon his policy, and would also get £llO, so that all that theoffice would receive by this transaction would be the interest upon the premiums which had been paid. Nothing, surely, can be more absurd than this. It might be thought that these representatives, drawing the £lOO insured, or .eOO more than they had paid into the office, would get a sufficiently handsome return for the policy; and why, over and above, they should have all the premiums returned to them, under the name of bonus, I cannot conceive. Yet this is the footing upon which a great deal of insurance business is done ; and it is very apparent how greatly such a system must withdraw the profits from those who alone contribute to their being formed. Even in this Institution, low as the premiums for the younger lives are, I know that such an ample provision was made by Mr. Cleghorn for the expenses of management and for contingent losses, that there must ultimately be very considerable profits realized ; and surely those by whose contributions such profits are realized ought to draw them. This is the principle on which the main improvement made by Mr. Cleghorn hinges. And, though the prosperity of this Institution has been very remark able, I am far from being surprised at it; and Ulm persuaded that, the more its principles are known and studied, the more favour will it receive from the public. I desire to make no in vidious comparison with other similar Institutions. I rejoice in the prosperity of all of them, because I see in that prosperity much that must conduce to the moral and economical welfare of the community. And all I wish is, that, in the details of their management, they should be guided by sound and scien tific principles. I observe that, every . year since the com mencement of this Institution, its business has been steadily Mid progressively increasing. I see that, during its first year, 182 Policies were issued, and that, in each succeeding year, the number has been regularly increasing, till, during last year, they amounted to 472, being 56 above the preceding year. Al low me, then, to congratulate this meeting on the growing prosperity of the Institution, and to propose the following mo- tion which has been put into my hands?—" That the Meeting approve of the Report by the Directors, now read, and confirm the appointments thereby made ; farther, approve of the Bill introduced. into Parliament by the Directors, entitled `A Bill for fi rm lncorporating a t] i d e R S e c g o u t t l i a s t h i n P s r o t i e d r e e n o f t , f l o n r s tit uti enablingo n , fn c s o a n i d - Society to sue and be sued, to take and to hold property, and for other 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 Directors to proceed with the requisite measures for having the Bill passed into a law, subject to such alterations as may be made by Parliament, or as may be considered expedient by the Counsel to whom it shall be remitted by the Directors for revisal." Mr. JOHN M`CaAw said, before agreeing to adopt at once the latter part of the motion, although I have 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 ? Mr. JOHN HUNTER, jun., said,—lt is quite proper that Mr. M'Craw should be satisfied upon this point. The Bill, in the very first clause, contains a distinct declaration—" That no thing herein contained shall relieve or discharge the Society from any contract, responsibility, debt, engagement, or obli gation to which the said Society is now or shall be hereafter liable, but the same shall continue as if the Society had not been incorporated under this Act ; and farther, that nothing herein contained -woct the Deed w uunstitution, and Laws and Regulations of the Society, or any of the powers therein contained, or any of the Bye-Laws or other alterations of the said Deed of Constitution, made or to be made, in virtue of the powers given by the said Deed, except ing always in so far as the same are expressly altered or varied by this Act, or are or shall be contrary to the true intent and meaning thereof." I can assure Mr. M'Craw that there are no alterations whatever on the Deed of Constitution, except in one or two minor matters, rendered necessary by the extension of the business to England. Indeed, I may say that the only alteration is that on the arbitration clause. By that clause of arbitration, as it stands at present in the Deed of Constitution, every person who may have a disputed claim against the Society is bound to enter into a reference before the Sheriff of Edin burgh. This clause would of course be very unsuitable in the case of Members resident in England, and it was therfore in dispensable that some alteration should be made upon it in the Act of Parliament. The Bill, accordingly, does not make it obligatory on parties having claims upon the Society to go into arbitration at all. It gives them the option either of proceed ing to enforce their rights by the ordinary modes which are open to all, or to insist on the Society entering into a reference to two parties mutually chosen. If the parties are resident in England, the arbitration may now take place there, instead or forcing them to go before the Sheriff of Edinburgh. This, it will be observed, is a provision wholly in favour of the Members and others, who may have claims on the Society. In all other respects the Bill confirms the provisions of the Deed of Consti tution, and merely confers on the Society and its Members the valuable benefits and privileges usually granted to incorporated bodies, which carry on business in Scotland, England, and Ireland. Mr. J. F. MACFARLANE said, I have been unexpectedly called upon to second the motion approving of the Report, which has. now been proposed by Professor More. Although I cannot enter so minutely into the question touched upon by the Learned Professor, as I have had my attention more particu larly directed to another—a very distinguished and flourishing Institution, with which I am connected, yet, at the same time, I look on all these Institutions as brethren, having one great object in view. The business of Life Insurance is only in its infancy. Every one of such Institutions just appears to me to form one of our national defences. We have heard a great deaf about this of late ; but it appears to me that, as Institutions of this kind spread, every one of them will form a guarantee for the preservation of good order, and for peace and security pre vailing here and elsewhere. Certainly were they universal, our naval and milit establishments might be dispensed with al together. (Hear.) ary ln reference to the Bill which the Directors have submitted, it is well that the question has been put by Mr. M'Craw before the approval of the meeting is given. But, after it has been put, and distinctly answered, every one of us must be satisfied there is no invasion of any right which any partner holds, or any thing introduced that is calculated to injure, but only what is essential to the proper conducting of the business of the Institution. As the passing of an Act - of Parliament is a measure of considerable importance to the Society, I think this motion will now meet the cordial approbation of every gentleman present. (Applause.) On the general advantages of Life Assurance, were they not now so well known, one would like to talk a while; for there is nothing which can give greater security and comfort to a family than . the knowledge that a provision is secured for them. But it is unnecessary to enter into this. Allow me. therefore,_ just to F ongratulate the mep- bers on the great and extraordinary advances, which, under disadvantageous circumstances, this Society has made. Secu-: rity is thus given that it will continue to flourish; and I have no doubt that it will go on at such a ratio as will prove highly satisfactory to all parties. I have much pleasure, therefore, in seconding the motion for the approval of the Report. The motion was then put to the Meeting by the Chairman, and cal ricd unanimously. Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON, of Kirkhill, said.—l rise to ask you to join inc in a very pleasing duty, that of returning thanks to the Directors for their valuable services during the past year. I feel very . sure that, when we think of the great extr4 labour they have in perfecting the matter of the London agency, as well as framing the Bill now before Parliament, which trust will - soon be the law of the land ; and, above all, when we think of the great extra services necessary to transact such a large amount of business, now in connection with the institu tion, we must be at once prepared to give them our warm an& hearty thanks. (Applause.) Mr. WILLIAM CH MICH, jun., of Glasgow, seconded the mo tion, which was carried amidst acclamation. Mr. C. J. KERR, banker, said,-1 am sure the Meeting will join with equal cordiality in tendering a similar compliment to the Boards at Glasgow and Manchester. (Applause.) ANote of thanks was also given to thellindiOrs and Trustees and to the Office bearers of the Society. The management for the ensuing year was then vested in the following Gentlemen ; the three last-named Directors being elected by the Meeting, instead of those Yvlxo.retired by rota tion : DIRECTORS.

SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION The TENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the CONTRIBUTORS was held, in the Waterloo Rooms, Edin burgh, on WEDNESDAY, the 16th February current. ROBT. SCLATER, Esq., in the Chair. ,it The CHAIRMAN said,—l think it due to myself to state that I have been called upon to fill the office of Chairman, not from any qualifications which I possess, but upon the simple ground that I happen -to be the Senior Director. I must, therefore, crave your indulgence for the very imperfect manner in which I discharge the duties that devolve time. You have been called together for the purpose of ceiving from the Directors the Report of their proceedin ming the past year. It has been the privilege of the di erent gentlemen who have filled the chair which I now oefupy, to congratulate you on the in creasing prosperity o Tie Institution; a privilege which I am glad to say still re ns to me. • You will hear from the Report that we have do a larger amount of business than has ever been done in a y former year of the Society's existence ; and it must be gratifying to us to know that the number of Policies opened from the commencement exceeds that of any other Office in Scotland at the same period 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 us as members of society in general inasmuch as it shows that the value 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 privileges of Incorporation. This will 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 we have been called upon to a single vote. Whatever, therefore. comes t forward with our unanimous consent. (Applause.) Mr. DONALD SMITH PEDDLE, Convener of the Committee, brought up the Report of the Directors. After noticing some of the points already referred to by the Chairman, he said : As one of the Directors who retire at this time, I may be per mitted to compare the state of the Society, in one or two par ticulars, at the end of this, its tenth year, as compared with its position at the end of the fifth year, when I entered office. At the end of the first five years. the policies opened amounted to 1200 ; while at the end of the second five years they numbered about 3000. The annual income from premiums, at the eud of the fifth year, was €13,150 ; and at the end of the tenth year, €31,344. The accumulated fund at the end of the fifth year was under €28,000 ; whereas it is now not much short of £lOOOO. (Applause.) I submit that nothing could be more satisfactory than these results, After what has been said by the chairman, I need only shortly notice the amount of the claims that have emerged. Considering the almost unprece dentedly high mortality of the city during the last two years, it must be gratifying to know that, even in the past year, the number of deaths is below the calculations of the Society; and that, although the amount of claims emerging is greater than has occurred in any previous year, yet the amount is very little indeed above last year, after the annuities which have fallen in have been deducted. He then called on the Manager to read the Report, which is as follows : 4 4 .. 41111111111..1 • CP • .- , , ot
