SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION The TENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETWG of the CONTRIBUTORS was held, in the Waterloo Rooms, Edin burgh, on WEDNESDAY, the 16th February current. ROBT. SCLATER, Esq., in the Chair. I The CHAIRMAN said,—l think it due to myself td 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 mus t, therefore, crave your indulgence for the very imperfect manner in which I discharge the duties that devolve upon me. You have been called together for the purpose of receiving from the y Directors the Report of their proceedings during the past year.. It has been the privilege of the different gentlemen who have filled the chair which I now occupy, to congratulate yon n the in creasing prosperity of the Institution; a privilege w ,ieh I am glad to say still remains to me. You will hear from he Report that we have done a larger amount of business their has ever been done in any former year of the Society's exisNrice ; and it must be gratifying to us to know that the number opt Policies opened from the commencement exceeds that of silly other Office in Scotland at the same period of its history. :It is with no purpose of drawing an invidious comparison bt.tween our selves and kindred Societies that I make this remark. . I men tion it simply as a fact, which, white it is calculated to give us encouragement, must also be gratifying to us as members of ' society in genera' 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.snch 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 'Fables of the Society ; and I may remind you of the fact, that up to the period of investigati on t wo years s i nce, t h e 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 ben fits and ; r:vi'e .es of Incorporation. This will he 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 deinot think We have been called upon to take a single vote. Whatever, therefore, comes before you, has been brought forward with our unanimous consent. (Applause.) Mr. DONALD SMITH PEDDIE, Convener of the Committee, brought up the Report of the Directors. After noticing some of the points already referred to by the Chairman, ha4said As one of the Directors who retire at this time, I maybe per mitted to compare the state of the Society, in one or Avo par i ticulars, at the end of thi s , it s tent h 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 nutnbereet about SOW. The annual income from premiums, at the end 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 £lOO,OOO. (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 amounts of the claims that have emerged. Considering the almost unpreoe-I dentedly high mortality of the city during the last two years) it must be gratifying to know that, even in the past year, thei, number or deaths is below the calculations of the snriptv • Lue ; aria that, although the amount of claims emerging is greater than has occurred in any previous ye ar , ye t t h e amount is vety 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 : Otoutp. MONEY. £3OO TO £1250, WANTED to BORROW, on unexceptionable Freehold and Leasehold Securities.

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 sumber of Policies issued has been 472 ; the sum assured by these amounting to £213,631 155., and the Annual Premiums to .i 6171 Os. sd. In addition to these, proposals fora large amount of Assurances were offered, but declined.

I can assure Mr. ISl•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 Eng land. 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 i n t o a re f erence b e f ore th e Sheriff of Edin burgh, This clause would of course he very unsuitable in the _ _ case of Members resident in England, and at was therfore in: faithfulness as invariably beloved diocesan, who is primacy of England. (From the Cambridge Chronicle.) Perhaps there is no member of the University who en joys a higher character for learning and abilities than Dr. Graham ; and there is none whose character is more generally and deservedly popular.

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 or 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 ofßranch; the and it is grati fying therefore to - Ow, as the Directo rs d o Ili-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. Their have appointed Mr. WILMER ONES 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 the 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. Thesehave already , been unanimously approved of by two con secu ti ve 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 M r . R o b ert Robertson, they unanimously nominated Mr. AITKEN MEGOET, one of the original Directors, in his place. A vacancy having also occurr e d in the body of Trustees, by the death of one of their number, the Directors unanimously 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 beads of the Bill for Incorporation, referred to in the report, having been read, and the Bill laid on the table— Mr. Jon si SCRAM( MoRE, Professor of Scots Law in the UnKersity of Edinburgh, said, —I have been somewhat unex pectedly called upon to propose a motion for the adoption of this meeting, which, however, I do with the greatest pleasure, because I have always taken a de e p i n t eres t i n th e success and prosperity of this Institution. I had many interesting consul tations with my late friend Mr. Cleghorn, before 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 had 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 Sir. 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 otheroffices would demand for insuring £lOO, insure here £ll5 or £l2O. payable imine j diately on his death. The Premium payable to this Institution for 4100 is .41 150.8 d., while, in other Offices, it is .4'2 Is. M., or or .42 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 insist be the case, even at his reduced rates of pre mium, these werenot to he 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 thegeneral fund had come to be equal to the sum assured: The importance of this improvement has never, I think, been sufficiently esti ma t e d. A n d truly the practice which has prevailed in several highly respectable and flourishing Mutual Assurance S oc i e ti es, 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 the 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 approximate somewhat to the sum assured ; but this can never be done upon reasonable principles, 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 Is hick 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 would approximate to the sum insured ; and if this sum were £lOO, 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 4110. But suppose a young man of 20 to insure 4'loo at 41 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 4110, so that mill that the office 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 4100 insured, or 400 more than they had paid into the office, would get a sufficiently handsome return for the policy ; and whs.s over and abeve., they should have all the premiums returned to them, tinder the / utinie of kraus, 1 CUITIOt conceive, Yet this is the footin upon securit provisi into th comfort to a family than - the knowledijiiat — a complimentary thing that could be secured for them.

T a MEETING of MAGISTRATES, held in the Sessions House, on WEDNESDAY, the 9th day of March, 1848. The Worshipful the MAYOR communicated to the Meeting that he had received from the Stipendiary Magistrate a copy of . a•placard which bad been presented by a Deputation of Porters to that gentleman, this day, in the Police , court. The Magistrates attentively considered The complaints made by the workmen, and they were of opinion that the system of employing Master Porters being according to the law, the Ma gistrates have not the power to alter the conditions upon which the work is now conducted in Liverpool; but the Magistrates observed, with great regret, that according to the statements of the workmen, some of those now acting as "Master Porters pay the men in public houses, and often employ the drunkard in preference to the sober man, as the former is more likely to spend his wages." And that ".Some of the Master Porters keep lodging-houses, and will, therefore, employ the single man in preference to the married man, who lives with his family, as the former is more likely to lodge with him." Miss Poem—This fascinating vocalist is,fwe perceive, announced to appear in Liverpool on the 27th. The fire in Rock Ferry Church did not originate in any way from the stove, we understand, fitt e d up b y M r . Bennett, of St. Thorhas's-buildings; and it has been ascertained beyond a doubt that it was not in any way connected with the disaster. The respected incumbent of the church has himself borne spontaneous testimony to this fact. "I 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 in to assist me in forming a judgment. My confi dence in it is as great as before. No opinion whatever can be correctly formed of the cause, as I am persuaded no negligence existed on the part of the church officers." FIRE IN BIRKENHEAD.—On Sunday last, about six o'clock in the evening, the house of Mr. Whitney, Albion street, Grange-lane, Birkenhead, was discovered to be on fire, The family, with the exception of a girl who wag asleep up stairs, were all at church, and the fire was first discovered by the neighbours, who supposed it proceeded from a chimney. On seeing the flames burst out of the windows, however ' they attempted to g a i n a d m i ss i on through the shop, but on account of the fire they were unable to do so. At length they effected an entrance through the back and rescued the poor girl from her peri lous situation. When brought out she was insensible, and appeared to be severely burnt about the neck, face, and hands. Before the engines could arrive, almost the whole of the furniture, &c. was destroyed. The origin of the fire is a mystery. DEATH FROM SUPPOSED FOUL PLAY.—An inquest was held yesterday before the borough coroner, on viw of the body of James Eaigleson, who it was supposed had come to his death by being severely assaulted. Deceased was formerly master of a Scotch trading vessel, was about 48 years of age, and lodged in Ironmonger-lane. About three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, he left home, and appeared to be then quite well. On the same night, about ten o'clock, police-constable Try - as found dedeased in School-lane, lying on the fo3twalk, with his back against the wall. He appeared to be much intoxicated, and could not speak. His lips were much swollen, and there was a quantity of blood upon his clothes. Assistance was got, and he was carried to the main bridewell, where he was r. • booked for safety, but he could not then give his name. All that was found upon him were some keys, a knife, and. a letter. A surgeon was called to him, who bled him, and applied the stomach pump, but nothing was taken from him. He was attended all night, and appeared to recover At seven o'clock next morning he was able to sit' p, at' gave his name. 3y ten he appeared much better. " only outward marks of violence were on his lips ani He was shortly afterwards taken home in a car. ' next day he became much worse, and died He complained to his landlady of being said he did not know who had done it. home on Wednesday, he had his watch and soma money on him, which he had not when he was taken into the Bridewell. He was sober when he left home, but hid drunk a little. Early on Friday morning he told the master of a vessel in the house that some person had abused him, but did not say when it happened. When asked who did it, all the reply which he gave was, " they kicked me." Mr. Pitcairn, surgeon, said lie found numerous marks - the ribs on the left side, He found the lungs eng' with blood and serum, and highly inflamed. This r cause of death, and_the result of external viol' If appears to the Magistrates that these are practical griev ances which the local authorities 'may redress, and the Magis trates resolved to recommend to the Dock Committee immedi ately to take away th" licenses of all Id aster Porters who keep public-houses, or pay men in public-houses; and also, to take away the license of any Master Porter keeping a lodging-house. To the other objections stated by the workmen, the Magis trates have to remark, that these objections are to the law of the land, which the Magistrates have no power to alter. If the workmen desire to have that law altered, they must petition the Legislature to repeal it, and who that purpose they should send a deputation to the Mercantile Associations, ho . no doubt, be glad to meet and to discuss the propriety of petitioning for an alteration of the evil of which the workmen complain. The Magistrates most earnestly implore the workmen to ab stain from, continual large assemblies, either on the Exchange or elsewhere. Such meetings may have the effect of inducing disturbers of the peace to interrupt the tran9nility of the town, and' render necessary measures of repression, to which the Magistrates would resort with great reluctance, though, in the discharge of their duties, they are prepared with firmness to prevent any evil-disposed persons from disturbing the public Signed on bebalf of the Magistrates, THOMAS B. 11011.SFALL, Mayor Town-hall, 9th March, 1848.
