ADDRESS of the Committee for PROCURING INVESTIGATION into the MISAPPLICATION of the FUNDS of the "Liverpool United Legal Friendly Burial Society." better known as the " Roy .1 Oak Burial Society." To the Members of the above Society, and the public generally : The Committee appointed for the above purpose, consider it necessary before entering on their 'abours. (as well to guard against misrepresentations as for the better inf rmation of the public, with regar to the affairs of this SNA ty ) to state the circumstances which have influenced them in undertaking the duty imposed upon them and in order to do so, they consider that the fittest cours^ they can adopt, mill be to lay before the public a brief abstract of the bistrry of the Society, since its formation in 1810. It was founded by a gentleman named Thomas Hariwict e Taylor, the object being, litre that of other similar societies, to provide for the decent interment of members after death ; to secure which, each Alenlbr Id contribute acco: :he rules L y !h it was proposed the Society should be - The Society's Pules art , re4istered and certified according to Act of P,.rliamtuit. It is directed by a president, a secretary, and corn nAtLe of tWeiN4 Members. The Sub-treasurer at this time received no salary, it being considered that the alvantaAes he derived in his ',mitten, as publican, from the Society meeting at his house, would ample remuneration for his trouble. The Collectors then received eehalfpence in the shilling, as commission on the rectipts. President 5s per week for attendance a :ew hours one day in week, to receive the money from the Collectors and hand it to 's -treasurer, and the Committee also is each per night. Ti 'e -, ered, the cAleetors bee ,- few years, e numerous in the members careless, abuses began to creep in, thr. collectors commission was increased to 23 in the shling, then to 24d„ and afterwards to 3d., or 25 per cent., and this at a time when the rules as certified provided no more than 2,1. in the shilling. This corn mittee regret their inability to fix the precise date at which the salaries of the different officers were increased, as they are denied all access to the books of the society. Suffice it to say that at the preent time the president receives about .i'Bo per annum, the secretary .180, besides llowances,the committee ss, per ni l -ht, and the sub-treasurer £173 per annum, although the rules do not provide for the payment of a shilling to that officer, About the year 1845 another abuse crept into the management, namely, the collectors sitting on committees.go this, and the dereliction of duty on the part of the president, is to be attributed all the extravagance and peculation which followed, The president is invested with authority over all the officers ;of the society, and consequently liable for their misconduct. In 1851 in consequence of the c , llec tors (illegally as we believe) sitting on icommittees, and then num bering 15 (so that they outnuml , ered the committee as legally con stituted) voted to themselves .4 . 25 each by way of Christmas-box. Against this Mr. Shepherd and others protested at the time at an annual general meeting held in Circus-street, but owing to the illegal disorderly and indecent manner in which the meetings are invariably conducted, it was impossible to prevent the fraud being perpetrated, and nearly ;45v0 of the society's money to be swept away. The committee, with the exception of Mr. Henry Shaw receiving each for their complicity in the matter. In 1852 they (the officers and collectors) disagreed, as people of their character usually do some time or other, and the members were in hopes that the old adage would be verified in their case, i.e., "When rogues fell out, Rze." However in this they were disappointed. The annual general meeting for 1853 was to have been held in the Argyle-rooms, Newington, but owing to the notoriety which the transactions of the society had acquired, it was found on the night of meeting that all Newington would not contain the number of members who assembled : the consequence was, that the president adjourned the meeting sine die, thus rendering it impossible to hold another meeting for twelve months. 13 y this clever "dodge," they secured another year, during which to make things snug among themselves. Having become reconciled to one another, the annnal meeting of 1853 took place in Clayton-hall, consisting principally of women and children, who evidently acted under the guidance of some persons who directed when to hiss, &c. This meeting was distinguished for more than the usual amount of Billingsgate and rowdyism. it being utterly impossible for any one, except the officers of the society, to obtain a hearing. It appears from the printed report pub ished by them for that year, that two life policies, for 4500 each, were accepted from the sub-treasurer, Mr. Currie, as security for 41000 which he owed to the society—the real fact being, that he had appropriated that amount of the society's funds to his own use. He, besides, held at that time 4790, over and above the £lOOO be fore mentioned. Whereas the riles of the society declare that all over 4300 should be at once placed in the bank, in V e name of Wm. Brown, M.P. This appears to have been the state of affairs in 1854. The sub treasurer owed 41790, some odd shillings—Le society held the security mentioned alto e. It appears to this Committee that emboldened by the impunity with which they escaped previously, they began to look enviousi on the entire fundlot the society, as the man is said t o have done upon the goose which layed the golden eggs. Accordingly a few days previous to the 1 st general meeting, which took place on the 28th of D cember last, in the School-room, Bevingt on-hill, Mr. Shepherd received a communication from oae of the auditors, Mr. Mich. 1 Murphy, (a gentleman who has upon various occasions rendered immense service to the society), stating that 42320 9s. 7d. of the society's money had been fraudulently voted away by the commit tee on the 30th of November last. in consequence of which he hid refused to sign the balance-sheet, and that the officers of the society were determined to have this vote confirmed at the annual meeting. Mr. Shepherd attended that meeting for the purpose of moving as an amendment that the balance-sheet d t not pass until the said vote be rescinded, and the sums 'herein included be ca'ried to the credit of the society. What took tlace uoon that occasion this committee feel it unnecessary to detail. How the Nres.dent, in his usual brutal style, compelled the reporters to withdraw. How he treated Mr. Shepherd when that gentleman ascended the platform (in one. dience to the all but unanimous call of the meeting). How the officers and most of the collectors exceeded even themselves in their ruffianly and ungentlemanly clitduct, are now notorious facts, needing no comment from us. Such conduct, we are convinced, w 11 receive a fitting condemnation on the part of the public. This committee, then, while dec:aring that they are actu ated by no personal animosity, beg to express their firm determnation never to desist until they obtain a free and full inquiry into the affairs of the society. We charge the officers and collectors with violation of he rules, with illegally conducting' the annual general meet ngs of the society, for the pur pose of s u pp re s s i n g an i preventing all inquiry: and lastly, we charge them, upon the authority of the Society's auditors, with fraudulently appropriating the Society's funds to the amount of 42,320 9s. 7d. This committee, therefore, desire to inform the members. and the public, that they have taken legal procee lings, having engaged icitors to commence the inquiry, either by suit at law or such er (proceedings as they mai deem fit. In the meantime sub iption lists are open ; and this committee would beg earnestly to tress upon the working men the necessity of contributing their d i n the prosecution of this inquiry, cs much with a view -conducting of Societies In general, as for this particular pence t to the instan c Shew to the officers of all Societies of the town that you are alive to your own interests, and you shall have no more Royal Oak Frauds. To the public also of all classes we say, g , ve us your sympathy, if need be, your purse, as you too are interested in this quest i on. Look to the thousands of pounds paid annually for interments by these Societies, which would otherwise fall upon the poor's-rate. We claim the support of all, having nothing in view b u t the pub lic Rood, and the preservation of the rights of the po or . This Committee also think it right to say to the Members, "pay your Pennies as usual to the Collectors who may call upon you. If any of the Collectors do not call as usual, apply to Mr. Shepherd, or any of the Committee of Investigation, who will give you instructions how to act in the matter. Don't allow yourselves to be thrown out of benefit. Our object is to save, not injure the Society, which would be the result :if Members stopt payment. Continue your payments, and we pledge ourselves to see justice done to all parties. Signed, on b half of the Committee,' JOSEPH SHEPHERD, 99 Scotland-road, Chairman, FRANCIS MTninurs, 95, Scotland-road, lion, Sec. - The position of existing societies is satisfactory, if they be regarded only in their character as Commercial associa tions. It is certain that they have met with unexampled prosperity from the precaution which has been exercised of charging a considerable margin in favour of the society over the mathematical value of the risk attending the assurance of any life, and from the profitable and judicious manner, in which the premiums are generally invested. Hence it has followed as the result of experience of up wards of a century and a half, that no commercial under taking surpassed an assurance office in the steadiness with which its prosperity, and consequent profit, in creases ; always supposing equal judgment and care to be exercised in the management. This may be regarded not as the result of accident, but as verifying the exact ness of the limits within which events may be estimated by the law of " average " as likely to occur. In fact, the remarkable manner in which the happening of assurance events has coincided with the calculated probability of their occurrence, has proved that there is less tendency to fluctuation in the profits of an Assurance society than in those of any other Commercial enterprise. Such is the commercial aspect of existing companies, but if they be measured by the extent of good they have done to the community at large, or by the number of families whose pecuniary difficulties, or suffering, assu rance societies have contributed to alleviate, then — (remembering the millions in the United Kingdom alone, who have lived and died since an assurance office was first founded),—it must be acknowledged that the number of persons who have been benefitted is limited, indeed; and that hundreds only have been assisted where tens of thousands have suffered ;—hence, so far from there being ground for no greater exertion being made to extend the operations of assurance companies—so far from there being any reason that the public should rest satisfied with the activity of the majority of the existing associations,—it must be acknowledged that they have failed, to a con siderable extent, in their mission. •Published by C. Mitchell, Red Lion Court, Fleet-street, London, MADRID, JAN, 14.—General O'Donnell has been en trusted with the formation of a new cabinet, COPENHAGEN, JAN. 14.—Two English vessels of war have arrived here returning into the Baltic to resume the cruize after ships of the enemy, or neutrals carrying contrabands of war. VIENNA, TUESDAY.— Prince Gortschakoff awaits fur ther instructions from St. Petersburg. He continues his preparations for departure on the 18th.

No counter-statement on this point. . _ RAILWAY SIGNALS.—An ingenious invention is about to be put in practical operation on the South Western Railway. Every train will have a gutta percha tube extending the whole length. This tube will be formed of parts which are attached to each other by a spring clip, so that the length of the tube can be made to correspond wrth the length of any train. This tube is connected with an air pump in the guard's van in the front, and with the guard's van at the end of the train. By a stroke of this pump, the air is forced through the tube to the opposite end of the train, and produces a very loud and shrill whistle at a mouth-piece attached to the tube in each guard's van, and to a mouth piece which extends also close to the engine -driver: Printed instructions are to be placed in the hands of guards, engine drivers, and stokers, which state that one whistle means ' , Look out," two whistles signify "Caution," . anclljhree whistles denote "Danger." This information conveyed by either of the guards to one another and to the engine-driver and stoker, will cause, it is hoped, such a look-out in front, such a use of the breaks attached to each guard's van, and such a regulation of the speed of a train, as cannot fail to secure a great degree of safety. Another invention about to be used on the South Western Railway is the following : Two lights, one red and the other white, are to be fixed to an arm at a certain distance from each other, and at a certain angle, and to be connected with the axle of one of the wheels of the last carriage of each night train, and caused to revolve by the motion of the train. The speed at which they turn will be governed by the speed of the train, which it will also indicate, to warn and guide the drivers of trains coming after. The present lights on railway crrriages can at a dis tance be scarcely distinguished from fixed lights, and it is impossible at times to guess, until a collision is imminent, whether the light seen a-head is the one attached to the first or last carriage of a train, and consequently, whether the train with such a light is coming towards, or going from, another. To obviate this inconvenience and danger, the revolving lights will be most effectual, for even if a train is stopped, and the revolving lights are at rest, the angle at which they are placed will render them distinguishable and easy of recognition. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—EarIy on Sunday morning the mill of Messrs. G. Crowther and Co., of Churwell, near Leeds, was broken into by six men, and an attempt was made to remove about 250/. worth of cleat, but was prevented after a serious conflict, in which two or three of the men on each side were more or less injured. Five of the thieves, named William Cain, of Manchester ; John Briggs, labourer, Armley, near Leeds ; James Marsden, mason, Armies* ; John Pickard, a returned convict ; and David Sttel, a cartman in the employ of Messrs. Crowther, were aparehended It ap pears that in consequence of information , anal of the numerous robberies that have taken place iu this wig hourhood during the winter, John Huiroyd and Lupton, constables of Morley, Samuel Hurst, David Lofthouse, George Richardson, and Joseph Crowther, were set to watch the premises on Saturday night. About ten minutes to six o'clock on Sunday morning the private watchman locked the watchhouse door, and then went home. The constables and their assistants took up a position in a shed near, from which they had a view of the whole of the works. mmediately afterwards they saw the prisoners and a sixth man go to the mill door, which they opened with a skeleton key and entered. They were observed to go into the second story, and commence removing some ends of cloth to the lower room, and after removing several ends in this manner Steel came out with some cloth upon his shoulder. when the watchers rushed towards him, and at the same time one of the thieves fired a pistol. Marsden, Briggs, and the man not in custody followed Steel, and the parties closed upon each other, and a desperate struggle took place. The con stables were knocked down several times, and had to use their staves very freely before they were able to overcome the resistance offered, the principal part of the contest being between Marsden, a tall muscular fellow, and the two. constables ; and it was not until Marsden was disabled that he was secured. During the struggle one of the robbers escaped, and Steel attempted to follow, when he was shot in the right thigh, just below the hip. In the meantime Cain and Pickard were locked in the mill, and after their accomplices had been secured they sarrendered without offering any opposi tion. It was then discovered that 27 ends of cloth had been removed to the lower story. Steel was found to have sustained such injuries as to necessitate his immediate removal to the Leeds Infirmary, where he now lies in a pre carious state. Marsden was also very much battered, and Richardson, one of the watchers, much injured. Upon the prisoners and the premises were found eleven skeleton keys. The prisoners were on Monday taken before the Rev. J. A. Rhodes, a West Riding magistrate, at Leeds, and were remanded until Monday next. Some of the prisoners are well-known characters, and the others, with the exception of Steel, who has been three years in the service of Messrs Crowther, are idle, dissolute fellows. INCREASE or DISCOUNT AT ;i HALIFAX.-the two Halifax b ►nks have just issued a circular informing their customers that henceforward and until further notice they shall charge interest at the rate of six per cent. They allege that they have for some time laboured under con siderable disadvantages by charging a lower rate of interest than that adopted by the Bank of England; and the present tightness of the money market has decided them to adopt the above rate. The Vienna correspondent of the Independance Beige' asserts that Russia does not oppose an absolute refusal to the question of a cession of territory. On the contrary, the principle is admitted, hut Russia asks that. this new arrangement of frontiers between Bessarabia and Moldavia shall be settled by a European Congress , and not by the Western Powers alone. It is also stated that Count Staeleelberg, who left St. Petersburg for Vienna on the 9th instant, is the bearer of modifications to the counter-propositions which constitute still further concessions on the part of Russia. The Post says :—There can be no doubt of the distress existing in the Russian empire. The terms Russia yields are a proof of this. But those terms are not ours, nor those of Austria, who rejects them. Nevertheless, it is , not to be denied that Russia has given way considerably, and it now remains to be seen whether we must apply to her again the same persuasion that has already so well succeeded, or whether she wili of herself now give way altogether and subscribe to our terms. The present week will decide this. Has Russia money and men to face the spring campaign ? And if she have—have we not so much more wealth, and so much larger forces, as to make it a moral certainty that this year will bring the war to a triumphant issue ? Russia may yield nosy Then, she will he vanquished. Galignani's Messenger loudly complains of the contra dictory despatches conveyed by the electric telegraph The boasted official intellig3nce circulated by marly journals—the ridiculous political information gleaned from ill-informed papers of Germany—all of which has alternately wearied, saddened, and offended, the reading public of the continent. If we scrutinize the v ast majority,of the telegraphic communications, how few are inspired by truth—how few are even genuine. For months past has the world been favoured by a London journal with daily despatches, purporting to have been received by the much-abused telegraph from Berlin. Yet these soi disant despatches are merely rumours or inventions, given days before by German papers and published in our columns with the name of the authority from whence we extracted the information." .

Much as the subject of Life Assurance has been dis - cussed, its principles are yetimperfectly understood. Many persons have given the question tittle consideration, others are induced to doubt the stability of the assurance offices, and to question the propriety of so many new ones being established, while others think they may be their own assurers, and save and invest their own money. On these points the opinion of the eminent authority on Life Assurance, Mr. Arthur Scratchley, M.A., must be of great value. The following remarks bearing on these points are from the Preliminary Remarks' in the new edition of his " Treatise on Life Assurance Societies, Friendly Societies, and Savings Banks," a work which contains (besides a set of Rules and Tables), the most valuable information upon the important topic s of which it treats Much has been said as to the injurious effect of so many 'laving been formed of late years, assurance soc when so few transact the mischief (if any) is - confined to those so non-su to thei ection, or with in s which are neces- A paid-up funds to pioperly establish a ty institution of use opinion on ire agreed that yet unworked, is so:v st and in creasing as, practic leave'room for three times as many assurance companies as already exist ; the more so as tew of those in existence seek to do business with the industrious classes, or the smaller kind of tradesmen. Moreover, it is to be remem bered that not only are the numbers of the population at large yearly increasing, but the materials for assurance themselves are gradually changing each year; new lives are born; new lives come of age; new lives have commer cial transactions, or marry and require policies of assu rance. Hence the Well can never be dried up while the world lasts. That altogether scarcely a quarter of a million of per sons should have been assured in the United Kingdom, when the population of England and Wales alone was, in 1851, near eighteen millions, and is increasing at the rate of more than 200,000 souls a year, is conclusive evidence either that the public do not yet fully understand the ad vantages arising from the assurance system, or that the majority of existing companies, from the manner in which they conduct their business, do not meet the practical requirements of the people. A great, though gradual, increase is, however, notice able during the last ten years in the number of persons assured, more particularly by those institutions which are usually denominated class offices; and this increase leads naturally to the expectation that tens of thousands, before long, will avail themselves of life or other assurance where hundreds do at present. We concur, also, with an opinion recently expressed, that there are many class interests, as yet not addressed, which future class offices will succeed in enlisting on the side of the assurance principle. . _ Sir,—No man with a grain of sympathy for his fellow man can possibly travel by the Southport railway as far as Bootle, without feeling deeply grieved at the sight of number of small and closely-packed houses that have been erected, and still are being erected, at the north end of the town. lam quite aware that we cannot all expect to live in Zstately mansions, healthfully situated in suburban. localities. Ido not ask for the well kept lawn—the ser pentiue walks—the artistically placed ornamental ,piece of water. These pleasurable delights, with recherche din ners, with splendid equipages, and a goodly ret nue of servants, are the rewards of industry—assist trade, and tend, by their example, to produce good taste, and an elevation of sentinlent, even among the working classes. Let such blessings be use 1. and not abused—let them be received with a thankful heart, and let the influence that they naturally bring with them, be seized upon, to pro is, and well-being of our fellow-:men, and • may be enjoyed without a pang; and id of death is laid heavily upon us, they thout a sigh. I have no wish then deprived of their comforts, or rteci from w luxuries ; buE I do wish to see the lower classes cared for, as if they were members of the same body. I do wish to see the great characteristic of that holy religion which we profess, fully carried out—remem bering that "both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one, for which cause he, our Lord and Head, is nr ~:.timed to call:us brethren." If then there be 5 an naive' II brother' ood, one body, so to speak, it is only ember suffers, the whole body reasonable that when one r should suffer with it ; and, as I hope to shew that a part is now so suffering, I trust a remedy will be found, even: though it entail a loss upon other members of the body who are living at ease and in security. The great objec tion that I make to the houses in question is simply this : They are being erected on the refuse of chejnical works. I have seen this refuse tilted on the ground in a smok ing state. The smell, even in this frost which usually hides from us offensive seents,;is highly disagreeable to the olfactory nerves. I cannot believe otherwise than that. such an odour must be highly injurious to health. I could not be prevailed upon to live in such a locality, though I were offered a heavy reward for so doing. I question any member of the town council would reside there with his family on any terms. If then I, and they, shrink from such a residence, on the score of health, it is plainly my, and their duty, to do our utmost to abate the evil, if we cannot entirely remove it. Inwriting this letter I have done what I can in the matter, and it is the part of those who read it, to do theirs. They, sir, may silence the voice , of my feeble advocacy—they cannot silence the voice of conscience.—l am, sir, yours, &c.,S, ,TnE NORTHERN. Liverpool, Jan. 15, 1856.
