—The annual meeting of the friends of this society ws°
held yesterday at Exeter Hall, and was presided over
by the Marquis of Cholmondeley (in the absence of Loll
Bexley, whose advanced age prevented his attending)'
The noble chairman, having pointed out the great duty
incumbent on a country so favoured as ours to diffuse the
blessings of religious education among our dependenclet
called on the secretary to read the report. That doel!
ment showed an increase in the number of children lr
connexion with the schools of the society at St. Jobe tci;
over that of last year, the present number being 160, it?
the daily average attendance being 150. The subscrip
tions raised in St. John's had also increased from 691.50
1847-8, to 781. in 1848-9. In other stations there had been
a falling off, owing to the decrease of means, especially
in Bona Vista and Harbour Grace, where two schools'
which had existed for nearly 25 years, had been closed,
although 100 children were receiving instruction in theme'
The Bishop of Newfoundland, in writing to the Arch"
bishop of Canterbury, complained of the want of teacher°
there, and promised salaries of from 801. to 100/. per
.00"
num to those who were sent out. The homo receipt?
of the society during the year had decreased 9201., that
amount being 1,6541. They had received 1,4591, froz?
abroad. The expenditure was 3,397/., leaving a deficit
of 2931. Unless the prosperity of the society was re'
stored, other schools must be closed, and the society
would cease. Among those who addressed the meeting
in support of the usual resolutions were the Rev. A'
Hewitt, the Rev. H. Stowell, the Rev. J. N. G. Armitage,
the Rev. D. Wilson, and the Rev. C. B. Gribble. Tube

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same princip'es, tile Society is enabled to
afford to the public It plan of Deterred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, mAy 62-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowint7 two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
au ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
hrough this Society.
