This Society is established on the tried and approved principle
of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu-
isve benetit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate
superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually:
and applied in reduction of the current premiums. PoiUcy,
holders participate in profits after payment of live ennui pre
IlliUM.

-------
The Annual General Meeting of this Society win held on the
30th May, 1654, when a Report of the bushier& for the lot year
was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro.
gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex-
ceeded those effected In any previous year; the number of
policies issued being more than 4tin, and the annual income
thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except
iu 1e49, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims
arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their eaU-
mated amount.
The Members prevent at the Meeung were fully satisfied with
the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of ale per
cent. should be wade in the current year's premium payable by
all policyholders now entitled to participate in the prods.
Credit is allowed for half the Annual l'reiniume for the first
five years.

" These volumes open up a new and interesting page of
history to the majority of readers. What Miss Strickland has
achieved for Englis. Queens since the Norman era has been
accoruplishee by Mrs. hall on behalf of the royal ladies who, as
wives of Saxon Kings, have influenced the destinies of Britain;
and the pleasure sad instruction which the work will afford will
be enhanced by its being in a great measure unexpected."—
