THE FOURTEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Contributors to this Society was held in the Waterloo rooms, Edisibugh, on Wednesday, the 18th February : Mr. WILLIAM FRASER, Writer to the Signet, the Senior Directoi=, in the Chair, The CHAIRMAN, after thanking the Meeting for placing him in the chair, adverted in terms of congratulation to the details of the Society's progress. Alluding to the steady increase of their business, he said—l need not say that the Directors have taken no undue means to procure it. They have adhered to those rules of administration which have always received your cordial approval, and have steadily resisted every inducement I 0 purchase favour by conforming to practices which they consider objectionable in principle. At the same time, they bave continued to give the greatest attention to the selection of lives ; and their care in this respect is apparent from the rate of mortality experienced, which still continues far below the rate indicated by the tables, which give the highest estimate of life. In i►lustration of our care, I;may re r to the Irish business, which is generally regarded as one a rather hazar dous description. But with us—confininry urselves to a few Sind selected localities—it has been fully good as in the best districts of Scotland or England : one a ency, established ten years since, which has sent in about ,000 of Premiums, has sot yet produced a single claim upon e Societe• There is one matter which it r.;^ / —7* -emir notice for me to bring under awl to Which pups atom if tti be asked. It ha s - Veen shot a sled dr ankioii consideratinn with the di rec tots t6from the Pul les all restrictions and condi., Atom Of fOrfeiture which are of essential to safety; and you lire aware that a great des was done by this Society, a few years sir c to remove suc restrictions. The grounds of for feiture in case of death by duelling, by the hands of justice, or by suicide, if beyond si months from the date of the policy, were then removed ; a it was further established that no mere innocent error, r omission to state what, though impor leant, might not at t , time have been within the knowledge of the contracting; par y, should be a ground of future challenge against the Policy. The exception of a mis-statement of the age was then retained, in order to check carelessness in regard to a matter on which the amount of premium depended, A nd 'which, with ordinary care, might be sufficiently determined ; but the Directors were, at the same time, empowered to correct lences of any accidental or unintentional error in connt., this respect. A great advance Was thus made in giving to the Policies of the Institution a character of unquestionable security; but more enlarged experience has satisfied the Directors that they may, with perfect safety, and Without a departure from any great printiplei gb further in the same direction; and they now feel themselves quite prapared cordially to recommend the adoption of resolutions to which, in concert with other Scottish Life Assurance Companies, they signified their assent, and by which, at a comparatively early period after assurance, every restriction will, to the great body of the Policyholders, be removed, and the value of their Policies, as marketable securities, be placed beyond doubt. You are aware that, by the existing regulations, a Member being beyond the limits of Europe, or entering into Naval or Military service, or dying at sea, except within certain speci fied limits, forfeits his Policy, unless ne has previously ob tained a license from the Directors. It is part of the reso iiitiona to be submitted for your approval, that the Directors be empowered, in the case of Members whose circumstances or prospects in life preclude the possibility any of these conditions} of the IN!!fi l , being violated, to grant a certificate to Members applying for it, that. if these are not infringed within five years, they shall then prescribe, and shall not thorpsftpr he airroitud of forfeiture, With such a certificate, and the a g e be sumcientiy proved and admitted, winch ruts -never been found an insurmountable difficulty, the Policy will become a document of debt absolutely unchallengeable upon any ground whatever save one, viz., that of fraud or inten tional falsehood, in retaining which, as a ground of challenge which cannot be abandoned, the Directors feel confident that they will carry with them the feelings and judgment of the coniributorst "To those Members whose circumstances will exclude them from the benefit of the proposed resolutions, it must be satis factory to know that the fundamental.laws of the Institution (as fixed at your meeting three years ago) secure their Policies against challenge on grounds of innocent error; and this is to be kept in view as an advantage which your Society still offers over every other Scottish Institution. Copies of the law as it at present stands, with the alt era ti ons proposed, have been placed in your hands. After the reading of the Report, these will also be read; and it wilt then rest upon you to decide whether t he y shall be adopted. Mr. C. W. ANDERSON laid on the table the Report from . the Directors. He referred to the steady and progress ive increase of the Society, which is exhibited in the Tabular view now subjoined. REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS. The new busi ness e ff ecte d during the past year is again con siderably in advance of that of any preceding year.

The Assured are, at the same time, specially exempt from personal liability. While, as a Mutual Society, it secures the WHOLE PROFITS to the Members, its Premiums are about as low as those of the on. ray ricrpatmg scale of the Proprieta►y Companies. The principle on which the Profits are divided is at once safe, equitable, and favourable to good lives, the Surplus being re served for those Members who alone can have made Surplus Payments; in other words, for those whose Premiums, with accumulated Interest, amount to the sums in their Policies.

An opportunity for corn parison has offered on this voyage between screw and paddlt steamers, both to the westward and eastward. On her out. ward voyage, she left Liverpool exactly twelve hours before the Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, and delivered her letters in Philadelphia on the same day, they having gone the whole dis tance by water, and the Niagara's mails having been sent from Boston by railway. On the teward passage, theCityfof Man chester brings three days' later Philadelphia newspapers and letters than the'Niagara, and entered the Mersey exactly three days after her.

FRANCE. The 10th of May is positively fixed for the grand review and distribution of eagles in the Champ de Mars. All the regiments composing the garrison of Paris will be present ; the French army will be represented by their colo nel and a deputation. On the 9th a .fe'te will be and the othci regiments of given at the Ecole Militaire by the-f ch Army the President of the Republic, who has accepted the invitation. Previous to the ball, a grand dis play of fireworks, prepared by the artillery in garri son at Vincennes, will be let off on the heights of Chaillot, opposite the Champ de Mars. A decree has been issued on the subject of the University. The main object appears to be to dis credit classical learning and philosophy, and to give predominance to mathematics and logic. The Patrie says that the number of persons sentenced to transportation throughout France amounts to 6,000. A great drought prevails in the south of France, which is causing great suffering. The Moniteur contains a communicated note, which gives a direct contradiction to a statement of the Gazette de Prusse, that the Prince President had called on the King of Belgium to place the institu tions of the country in harmony with those of France, and that the King had replied in a way cal culated to render war probable. The number of houses lately knocked down in Paris for the opening of new streets will displace upwards of 30,000 persons, and rents are accordingly ked I rising. The government journals contradict on authority a paragraph of the Siecle, stating that unpleasant differences had occurred between the French and British governments ; on the contrary, the relations between both governments have never ceased to be of the most friendly character. The Legislative body resumed its sitting after the Easter recess on Tuesday afternoon; but the ' business transacted was brief and unimportant. Its future meeting is not yet decided upon. It is stated that in the Imperial Almanack for Russia for 1852, under the head of France—Henry V. is set down as King, and the Count de Paris as his heir. It appears, however, that some explana tions have passed between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Russian Minister on the subject. Assura. ces, it is added, have been given that there was nothing of an offensive kind meant to France or its President. AUSTRIA. A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, April 7th, states that Count Buol-Schauenstein, who was last week summoned from his embassy, in London, to Vienna, is definitely appointed imperial minister of foreign affairs. It was believed in Vienna that Count Buol would at the same time be the presi dent of the council. The Gazette contains an ordi nance placing the Grand Duchy of Cracow under the general civil law of the empire. The corres pondent of the Augsburg Gazette observes from Vienna that the death of Prince Schwarzenberg will not lead to any change in the domestic or foreign policy of the Austrian government. The Emperor has addressed the following autograph letter to the reigning Prince Schwarzenberg, on the occa sion of his brother's death : " Dear Prince,—God in his providence has visited your highly-distinguished family with a heavy blow. The sud den dissolution of the Minister-President, Prince Felix, is for me personally, and for the State, a portentous event. " I lose in him a faithful servant and an upright friend, the country a man who, in a stormy period of trouble, placed himself with rare courage at the disposal of my house, and who, since then, has displayed such ardour and devotion in preserving order, and strengthening the pillars of the throne, that his name will ever occupy a glorious place in the annals of Austria. " Accept, my dear Prince, the assurance of the deep sympathy and the profound sentiments of grief that agi tate my heart at the tomb of the departed. (Signed) "FRANCIS JOSEPH.

HARRISON, AN application was made o n Th urs d a y, th e 25th September, before his honour Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, as Executor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven• tion of "Improvements in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories for the Protection of Papers or other materials from Fire," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John Germsn Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to tie made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner, any Boxes, Safes, or other depositories made in such or the like manner, or on the same or the like principle as the said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or resembling the said Invention. Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant, and affidavits in support of and in opposition to the motion were read. Milner's invention consisted in the use of substances, distribdted in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer and inner casings of the Box, which substances, when exposed to heat, evolved steam or moisture, the combined effect of the moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting the Safes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire. The defendant sold Safes and Boxes, which he represented to be made under a Patent g r an t e d to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don, but which the plaintiff contended were sul tinily made according to Milner's Invention, and were infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been tight by the plaintiff against the defendant for the infri ment, and tried in June last, before Lord Chief Justice C pbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the pia' tiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a [lilt of Exceptio to the direction of the learned judge on the construction o r. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding this verdict, t defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and fes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff roved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scienti witnesses stated was substan tially the same as those pro ed on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was ertfied by Doctor Muspratt whose analysis accompanied hi affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he be eyed this Safe had been made by hint and his partners, and e alleged that it was made according t• their specification PARISH OF LIVERPOOL AT the ANNUAL GENERAL VESTRY , h e ld at the Church of St. Nicholas, and, by adjournment, at the Sessions-house, on EASTER TUESDAY, the 13th day of April, 1 CMI The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS, one of the Rectors, in the Chair.

His Honour adverted to the ong enjoy ment of the Patent which was granted in 1840, the result of the trial at law, and the clear opinioni n the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent claiming every mode by which the liquid. &c., might be em ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion.

It was moved by Mr. THOMAS DOVER, seconded by Mr. Churchwarden BANNER, and resolved,—That the clutrchwar dens be authorised to pay out of the church-rate the sum of 110 to the second minister of St. Paul's Church, in addition to his present stipend ! „ On the part of the defendant, he chiefly relied on Mares and Chubb's patents, and it would be for them to say whether those patents were not confined to introducing non-conductors. The object of both was to save papers from destruction, but the mode and operation was the question in dispute. He had been puzzled to know the difference between the two patents of Marr and Chubb, and he afterwards found from one of the witnesses that there was no distinction between them. They both had non-conductors in the inner case, but neither seemed to have had the slightest contemplation of any liquid, es their .object was tather to have substances as dry as possible, but had no notion of a liquid which was to be condensed into steam to moisten the papers in the inner case. They bad heard the evidence, and it would be for them to say whether they were satisfied that the invention which Mr. Milner set out in his g o ec u i g figli t o w n t s h k e n y o w w o n u le fi r n e the that t ar s s o u f e h is pat en t. I fth ey fordefendant;tiie and if they thought it was not. they would find it forthe plaintiff. The third and fourth issues were substantially the same, being hat Mr. Milner was not the inventor, and the invention was not new. If Mr. Milner was the inventor, the invention was new; and if lie was not the inventor, it was not new. Then came the issue of whether it was useful, and he must say he had been astonished to find such strong evidence of its useful ness. Up to this hour he had no idea that there were any human means of so effectually preserving papers from the action of fire. It appeared that, by means of the condensation of steam, the papers enclosed in the inner box were rendered moist. It was a comfort for one to know that there was an in vention, by which valuable documents might be rendered secure, notwithstanding the terrible calamity of fire brekking out in a house. Although the defendant had thought fit to say it was not useful, he was really at a loss to say what evidence there was to raise any doubt as to its utility ; but the question was for them alone. Now came the direction he should give them in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said. He thought there might be an infringement, although the de fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing the liquid. All the rest he left to them ; but he only said that it was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the defendant had infringed the patent. Then would bear in mind I that_ respectable professors from King's College, and other It was warden 3ANNER, seconded t Mr. WILLIAM r. Georg-e seminaries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and they would consider whether they disproved the infringement. Tann's patent could only be evidence on the ground of infringe . ment, for it was not taken out until nearly four years after — finer's; but if, as it would appear that Harrison sold Tann's es, he could not say that they were not to look to Tann's cification, if they came to the conclusion that tee boxes made rann were the same as those Milner described in his specifi ,on„ They were to look on all the evidence on either side ring on these issues ; and if they thought that, although the RS that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes, irtificial vessels for containing the liquid, they contained was to be ex tantially the um and other substances from Whic acted by heat; if they thought th Ime as Milner's, they would find th 'id if they thought they were not the to find that issne for the I,nr . .t use any pipes, tubes, Is.

We learn from Smyrna that the pirates are begin ing to re-appear on the waters of the Levant. They carry their audacity so far that they have actually come up close to the port of Smyrna in search of booty, which they have succeeded in carrying off safely in the very teeth of an Austrian man-of-war. They take good care never to come near any vessels carrying the English, French, or Russian flag, and attack only those from whom they do not apprehend reprisals. As the Austrian commerce suffers greatly from this scourge, a part of the war fleet, composed of a frigate, two steamers, and two corvettes, are to be sent thither shortly to make a crusade against these formidable pirates. Naples is likewise to send several vessels hither. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. On Tuesday evening, at half-past nine, the Royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Capt. Stone, arrived in the Mersey, with advices from New York to the 30th ult., Boston to the 31st, and Halifax to the 2nd inst. She had 13,000 dollars in specie on freight, and 35 passengers. The Royal mail steam-ship Europa, Capt. Lott, with the mails from Liverpool of the 13th, arrived at New York on the 25th ult. The Royal mail steam ship Canada, with the mails of the 20th ult. from Liverpool, arrived at Halifax on the 30th ult. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. On Thursday morning, at a quarter past six, the United States mail steam—ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, arrived in our river from New York direct, with the usual mails, 104 passengers, and a small amount (2000 dollars) of specie. Another frightful steamboat explosion had oc curred on the Mississippi. The boiler of the steamer Pocahontas had burst, killing eight per sons, and severely scalding eighteen others. One-third of ilia town — of — Chillicothe, Ohio, is said to have been destroyed by fire. The Tremont Temple, formerly the Tremont Theatre, in Boston, was entirely destroyed by fire on the 31st ult. By the falling of the walls many persons, it was feared, were killed. It was esti mated that the entire loss would not fall short of 200,000 dollars. The steam-ship Crescent City, which arrived at New York on the 31st tilt. with advices from San Francisco to the 2d of March, had 1,500,000 dols. in gold dust on freight, besides a very large amount in the hands of passengers. The steam-ship North America, of Vanderbilt's line, was wrecked, 30 miles from Acapulco, on the 28th of February, in the night, and the passengers, about 750 in number, were in a deplorable condition at Acapulco. The North America proved a total loss, and her passen gers, who were all saved, were waiting for a steamer to take them to San Francisco. Many murders and Indian outrages had recently taken place in Cali fornia. The town of Downieville had been de s troyed by fire, and the loss caused by the conflagration was estimated to amount to 750,000 dollars. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
