PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE MEETING.—The se-
cond septennial Meeting of this Institution took
place on Tuesday last at the Society's house in Re-
gent-street, Piccadilly, which was very numerously
attended. The Hon. W. Shirley in the Chair.—
The Report of the Directors gave a most flattering
view of the progress of the Institution, and declared
a bonus of 261. 12s. V' cent. The dividend, together
with a former one, at the and of the first septennial
meeting, amounted to 40 per.cent. upon the contri-
butions of all the members, ac well those who insure
for life, at the original subscribers. The Managing
Director, in adverting to the extraordinary profit of
the last seven years, took occasion to make known a
fact which reflects very high honour on the Society,
viz. that among the means used to produce such
profit, nimrdliness or evasion in the settlement of
claims were not of the number, for during the seven
years, of 12S claims that had been preferred, not one
had been denied payment, had been disputed, or
delayed an hour after they became due. It was also
a flattering circumstance, that two respectable Life
Insurance Offices had broken up to join this Institu-
tion, viz. the Birmingham, and the London Com-
mercial Life Association, being convinced, after
many years trial, that under the present reduced
terms of insurance, not only a good plan and good
management were indispensable, but that a very
extensive Association of Lives was also necessary to
reader a Life Insurance Society profitable, or even

safe. These three Societies were now conducted

without any addition to the expences of one of them.
The Chairman observed, that he was led to believe,
from what he saw, that the influx of new Members
to the Provident Life Office now exceed that of any
other similar Institution. Nothing could exceed
the satisfactory manner in which the business pro-
ceeded. A very handsome eulogium was then voted
to the Managing Director, accompanied by a present
of plate, and the meeting adjourned.

his Friends, and the Public, that he does not contemplate a
