NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.

OFFICE, 26, CO/tNIIILL, LONDON.
Capitalsoo,oool.

Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na-
tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance-
meat of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received
the approbation of a considerable body ( f the active mambes and
°dicers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan
Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a
Branch Office in connexion with tho•o izocieties and the Operative
Classes generally, in which their services might he successfully en-
gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open
communication with the different Societies, with the view of more
effectually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the Indus-
trious classes, and a pia,' has been ,roposed with that object.
ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. '
Many praiseworhy but Ineffectual attempts have been made to
bring within the scope and operation of the laws of inc. tality and
money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal-
culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either
immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits.
A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con-
struction of these ass,ciations or societies is defective; and that in-
stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment,
whist should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar-
rowly the •tiannei through which a benefit can alone be secured ;
and, in propor ion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed,
their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual
or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision
in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a
pecuniary sacrifice ; while to others 'such a provision appears more
attractive, and the loss of employMent caused by sickness le a risk
against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state
of things there Is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say,
instead of covering, by one weekly or Annual payment, two or more
contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate
benefit should have its separate contribution.

It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of
two dissimilar funaions. and by confounding a sick allowance and
an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the
evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies.
No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick -
ness-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso-
elation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By
this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and
none but the really siek arc likely to become chargeable upon it.
But the same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable
where a fluid is to be accumulated through a succession of years,
and where results are to bear out Calculations, money investment
being in general beyond, tbs ,experlenee of the industrious classes..
For these reasons it is clear that the hinds destined for a provision in
sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a
provision for old age :
Ist Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though. apparently
connected, do not depend on the same calculation.
2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a
larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing
for probable sickness on themselves.
3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age,
continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible
with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and Individual irre-
sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of
such a contract , that when undertaken on the same principles that
ordinarily govern commercial {Jodie..
4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when
united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi-
nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en-
danger the one for the sake of the other.
Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge
of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing
Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here-
unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing
or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner
to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity,
and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding
them from the risks of sudden dissolution.
After much diligent search amon,st the combinations ingeniously
proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal
objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal
in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought
and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan
proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is
true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against
provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex-
pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the
other part of the plan itself; without being fully sagsfied that the
conven ence and safety of Friendly and Benefit Societies will be
greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick
allowance from an annuity for old age.
A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan
Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to
them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of
business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in-
dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con-
stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its
number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an-
nexed nrospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society,
and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected
with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their
opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection
to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to
the present day has adequately secured to them.

THE HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—On Friday a de,
putation from the vestry of St. Alarylebone waited upon
Lord Morpeth. Dr. Spry opened the proceedings by reading
a memorial, which set forth that the vestry did not oppose
the objects proposed by the Bill, but on the contrary were
but were opposed to
anxious for the sanitory condition of the People. I
=ley did
not object to the machinery of the Bill, h
its centralising character, to its interference with self-govern-
ment, to its mode of appointing one-third of the council, and
also to the clauses by which they believed the local Acts by
which the parish bad been governed were repealed. The
also objected to levy rates without limit, for the accomplishy-
ment of objects over which they had no control. The Rev.
Dr. Spry, Sir James Hamilton, and other gentlemen of the
•deputation, spoke at some length upon the inefficiency and
impracticability of the present system of the Government
Commissioners of Sewers. Sir B. Hall and Sir C. Napier re.
aonristhhtn
minded Lord Morpeth that the sentiments expressed iiv th
deputation were not only the sentiments of the rateparjrs t 1
altlhpeerso' ;is we're

Lord Morpeth ex
agreed on the necessity of some measure being edopted for
the improvement of the sanitory and social condition of the
people, and bad no doubt th at means would be devised for
carrying into effect the objects of the deputation.
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The Electric Tele-
graph Company have taken offices in the Central Exchange,
at. Newcastle- upon-Tyne, which will be a great accommo-
dation to the inhabitants of that town ; for, instead of having
to send their messages to the railway station at Gatesheid,
as at present, they will deliver them at the offices, where
messengers will be kept for the purpose of taking them
across It is the intention of the compan—
y to extend their
wires from the various railway stations to the Exchange, so
that when the telegraph is completed
on that part of the
North-Western line between London and Rugby, and be-
tween Newcastle and Edinburgh, Newcastle will be brought
into instantaneous communication with all the principal
cities and towns of Great Britain, a circumstance which
must be of infinite importance to the commercial public,
especially of that locality.

tract of a letter, dated Roscommon, Feb.,d .19, 1547 :—" Mr. Ryan, pro-

in Dublin with several eminent medical men, he left with the choice
of one of the two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die.
On has way home he met with a gentleman in the coach, who re-
' commended him Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he used, and
by their means is now quite well.—(Signed) CilAnLxs 'Puma', pro-
