The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the
Office on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classification may be made :-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, yet its advantages have beers so well appre.
ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
36,0001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years' standing
have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation
may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis-
tant period.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Office.

BREAD-STREET WARD.
At a COURT of WARDMOTE, held at Cord-
wainers"fla 11, within the said Ward, on the 21st day of De.
cember, 18,.11 (and continued by adjournment on the 22d),
before the W orshipful JOHN LAINSON, E.g., Alderman of
the said Ward, for the Election of Ward Officers for the year
ensuing, it -was resolved unanimously—
That the very exemplary manner in which their various
duties are performed by our long-tried and faithful Repre-
sentatives i n the Court of Common Council demands the most
grateful acknowledgment from the inhabitants of this Ward,
and that, therefore, the cordial thanks of this Wardwote be
given to James Southby Bridge, Esq., Deputy, Messrs. Wil-
liam Davisson, William Kipling, William Laurence, Nicholas
Manghan, and John Laurence, for the zeal, integrity, and
diligence at all times displayed by them in the discharge of
those duties.

That the thanks of this Wardmote be also given to Messrs.
Wilks, Hardisty, Angell, Paul, Gibb, Wingate, Wakefield,
Blakeslcy, White, M'Cutcham, Gibson, Pocklington, and
Drybrough, for the very able manner in which they discharged
their duties as Inquestmen of this Ward during the past year,
when their collection for the poor exceeded any former year on
record, and which collection was expended entirely in the relief
of the poor and destitute recommended to their consideration,
they bearing the expences, attending their duties at their
awn cost.

That the best thanks of this Wardmotc are justly due, and are
hereby presented, to Messrs. John Pelham Buckland and
Charles Williams, who have resigned their offices of Common
Councilmen of this Ward, for the performance of the various
duties devolving upon them so long as they continued in the
Court'of Common Council, and particularly for their attention
to the local interests of the Ward.

That the Resolution be fairly transcribed, and transmitted
to those Gentlemen, signed by the Want Clerk.
That the cordial thanks of this Wardinote be given to the
Worshipful John Lainson, Esq., Alderman, for the zeal,
ability, and integrity, with which he discharges the important
duties devolving upon a Magistrate of this City, for the ready
access he has uniformly afforded to the inhabitants of this
Ward, for his polite attention to his fellow-Citizens, and for
his impartiality during the present Election.
That the foregoing Resolutions be inserted in the usual
Morning and Evening Papers, and signed by the Ward Clerk.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T, CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu-
rances;
parties now joining will be allowed to participate in
the prots at the next division, as if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe-
cific sum, witl;out a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating 'scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
100/., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain fur
five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per
cent., and Aiould the policy become a claim in the interim the
amount due will then be deducted :

PAR R'S- LIFE PILLS.
IMPORTANT CAUTION !

It has been diselvered that vile attempts had been made,
and still are made, to substitute base imitations for the genuine
iMedicine ; in proof of which, attention is directed to the fol-
owing advertisement, which appeared in the " Nottingham
Review," of January 22, 11441 :
PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

" I, the undersigned John Cubley, late of Derby, but now
of the town of Nottingham, heretofore a schoolmaster, but
now out of employment, do hereby acknowledge that I have
lately got compounds l some pills, which I have sold to dif-
ferent persons as OL PARR'S LIFE PILLS, brrepre-
smiting that I had purchased the recipe for that celebrated me-
dicine : such representation was, however, entirely folic, and
the proprietors of the genuine Old Parr's Life Pills have com-
menced legal proceedings against me for the above fraud. But
I, having expressed sorrow and contrition, and given up to
them the names and addresses of each person to whom I have
sold any oh such pills, as well as of the druggists who com-
pounded the same, and agreed to make this public apology,
and pay all expenses, including this Advertisement, the Pro-
prietors have kindly consented to forego such legal proceed-
ings. I do, therefore, declare my shame and sorrow for having
committed such an imposition on the public, and such a fraud
on the Proprietors of Old Parr's Life Pills, and further express
my acknowledgments for their lenity.

The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau-
tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond.
ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical
practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi-
lity has made threatening Inroads, the means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin,
and there are nooe to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of
Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care
of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of
that information and those salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen-
trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for
the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities.

" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate
and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with
an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet.
‘, The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in
no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy
than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into
vicious indulgence--its progress—its results in both sexes, are
given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting
truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with-
out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour"
temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be
restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the
consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous
style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange-
ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the
mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger.
" Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated arid exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and
will demand that medical works for public study should be
devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of
medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work
before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very
strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring
doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of
study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds
in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering
consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can
be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a
warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent
blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi-
dently the production of a mind long and practically conver-
sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human
organization."—Magnet
The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief
anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded

alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the
drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1841

MEETING AT BATH.
UNION OF THE CHARTISTS AND CORN-LAW
RE PE ALE RS.
A Public Meeting was held yesterday in the large room
of the Guildhall, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament
for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. The platform was
well filled, and the room was crowded by a number of
the middle and working-classes.
On the motion of Admiral GORDON, W. Hunt, Esq.,
called on to preside.
The CHAIRMAN, after stating the object of the meeting,
and dwelling upon the fact, that the interests of the land-
owner and manufacturer are compatible with each other,
adverted to the assertion used by every advocate for the
Corn-laws, that if they were repealed the country would
be inundated with foreign wheat. In answer to this, said
he, I will put two questions—Where is the wheat to
come from that is to inundate this country ? and what
would be the average price at which any wheat, in the
event of free trade, could be delivered in this country ?
With regard to the first question. The average con-
sumption of wheat in this country is about 18 millions of
quarters. Now it has been ascertained, that from the
whole of Europe we could not, consistently with what
they must grow for their own population, obtain more
than 2 millions of quarters, even supposing them to carry
cultivation to its highest pitch. Suppose to this we add
two millions more from America. Why, even with this
supply, we are yet left under the absolute necessity of
raising 14 millions from the land of this kingdom. With
what reason, then, can it be said that the abolition of
these laws would throw all our kind out of cultivation, or
even half the land, or a quarter, or indeed any portion of
it, when increased commerce would occasion increased
consumption, and any land there might be to spare could
so advantageously be laid down in pasturage ? And the
lands being cultivated, the agricultural population is
engaged upon them ; and hence the notion of their being
driven to manufacturing towns falls to the ground, with
the assertion of all land thrown out of cultivatiOn, as to
require no further argument to confute it. With regard
to my second question, as to what is likely to be the
average price at wkich corn can be brought to this country
free of duty—l say, hardly below 50s. the quarter, for it
has been ascertained that the average price at Dantztc is
about 345. the quarter, and that shipping, landing, ware-
housing for 6 months, and selling commission, and other
charges, may be fairly computed at 18s. the quarter ; so
that we may put the average price at 50s. Now, is the
British corn-grower able to compete with this price? I
am sure you will say yes, when I tell you that, in a recent
statement from the Board of Trade, it was said that the
average price of wheat for the whole kingdom for the
last seven years was 525. 2d. the quarter. Here, then, is
scarcely a difference between a price which the landholder
does not pretend to complain of, and the rate at which
wheat could be imported when free of duty. Would our
landlords be at any disadvantage with competition of this
character, especially when the advantage of skill, capital,
machinery, and scientific research, would be entirely on
their side? The probability is that our landholders would
carry the day against the Continent, while a free trade
would open a hundred ports for our manufactures, 'and
plant a wedge in the German League'now forming against
us, that, driven home, by the skill and industry of our
manufacturers, would split it into a thousand pieces.—
(Loud cheers.) After dwelling on similar topics often
discussed, he thus concludes :—Even if the Corn-laws

_ .
had any pretensions to sound policy, they could not be
maintained at the expense of happiness, morals, and life
itself. The benificence of Christianity can never har-
monise with a system that strikes down the arm of in-
dustry, that limits the means and attacks the very right
of subsistence.—(Hear, hear.) The example of our
Lord, who fed multitudes in the wilderness, might
teach us how much the provision of bodily necessities is
within the scope and design of the Gospel ; and he can
never pretend to an imitation of that character, who, in
the face of famishing multitudes, would obstruct a supply
of bread. This is the natural operation of Corn-laws, for,
by cramping our commerce, they diminish that demand
which creates employment, and thus cut off the indus-
trious man from the chance of that daily labour upon
which he depends for his daily subsistence. " Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself,' is a command too plain to
be evaded or misunderstood: yet, what love can that be
which, for the sake of a questionable and remote advan-
tage, would suffer multitudes of our neighbours and
countrymen to languish in pauperism or perish for want?
—(Cheers.) Neither the laws of God or man can tolerate
such a course; and therefore it is, that if the Corn-laws
have been brought in in error, or for any exclusive inte-
rest, in justice to sound principles of commerce, in duty
to the interests and safety of the nation, and in obedience
to Him who is eminently the " Judge of the poor of the
people, and who shall save the children of the needy, and
break in pieces the oppressor," let us denounce the per-
nicious tendency of such laws, and earnestly petition that
they be erased from our statute-book for ever.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. THOMAS SPENCER, in moving the first reso-
lution, said he stood there as the advocate of free trade in

its largest sense—(Cheers)—and he maintained that this
country had no more right to be fettered in its commerce
than the Somersetshire man had to object to the Wilt-
shire man coming into his market ; or the owner of a
bad farm to apply to Parliament to tax his more fortu-
L nate neighbour ; or to object to an interchange of corn-
, n-oclities between the butcher, the baker, and the grocer.
—(Hear, hear.) Towns were made up of individuals ;
nations of towns ; and the world of nations ; and the
sooner the whole world became interested in each other's
welfare, and were as one family of man, the sooner, he
believed, it would be better for all.—(Cheers.) He
would now answer some of the objections which bad
been urged against a repeal of the Corn-laws, as, in his
opinion, there was more to be gained from argument
than from threats of physical force or of destruc-
tion of property.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") The
first objection which was generally urged was, that it
would be a bad thing for the country to be dependent on
foreign nations for its corn, especially in time of war.
But it was a curious fact, that none were now more
dependant on foreign nations than were the English.
The articles which furnished the rich man's breakfast,
his dinner, his mahogany, his wine, his gold and his
silver—for all these he was dependent on foreign nations;
and, in fact, there was scarcely anything for which he
did not depend on them. As to the danger in time of
war, the very danger of war at all arose from the Corn-
laws. If there were to be a war with America, ii; would
most probably arise from wanting unfair terms. Was
there any tradesman who in his dealings had a customer
of 5001., from which he derived his profit, who would be
likely to quarrel with his customer? So it was with
nations; and if they wanted America—which was one of
the greatest, and would, probably, one day be the
greatest, nation of the earth,---if, he said, England
wanted America to be her friend, let her send out her
100,0001. a-year to her for corn, and it was not probable
she would then fall out. Solomon was the wisest of
men ; and of him it was recorded, that when building
the temple, he sent to Hiram, King of Tyre, for timber,
—" and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures
of wheat for food to his household, and twenty mea-
sures of pule oil ; thus gave Solomon to Hiram year
by year." And in the very next verse it said, " and
there was peace between Hiram and Solomon."—(Loud
cheers.) They read also in Scripture of the people of
Tyre coming to Herod, and desiring peace with him,
" because their country was nourished by the King's
country." And so it would always be ; when one
country was " nourished" by another it could not
afford to quarrel. He (the Rev. Speaker) wanted to know
if the British farmer could not oompete with a man
3,000 miles off, who had first to carry his corn an im •
mense distance to ship it, and then to transport it across
the Atlantic? He heard the other day of an American
house which owed a Birmingham firm 500,0001. which
they were unable to pay in money, but were quite willing
to pay in flour ; but they could not because of the Corn-
laws. He would ask, what did Birmingham want more
than the flour, and what more did the American house
want but to be enabled to pay its debt ? He met with a
gentleman on a coach the other day, who was a Conser-
vative in principle, and talked very freely of the then
Radical Ministry and the distress of the country. It
was with some fear that he. asked the gentleman his
opinion of the Corn-laws. "Oh !" he replied, " they
are at the bottom of it all." There was another
objection, which was very popular with the middle and
lower classes, which was, that cheapness of food would
produce lowness of wages. Now, in America, where
food was very cheap, the demand for labour was very
great, and the wages very good ;—so great, indeed, was
the demand for labour, that there were those in the
higher orders who worked at agriculture. Every unskilled
labourer got a dollar (4s. 3d.) a day, while in England
wages were not more than ls. 6d. a=day. Yet there
bread was cheap, meat was cheap—pork, lid. a lb., beef,
I id. a lb., and wages, 4s. 3d. a day. The highness or
lowness of wages depended on the demand for labour ;
and with free trade, with a demand for manufactures,
with railways to convey them at home, and steam vessels
to carry them abroad, every one could afford to keep up
wages, and the consequence of free trade would be cheap
bread.—(Loud cheers.) In conclusion, he would ask,
Who were interested in their maintenance ?-30,000.
Who were desirous of their repeal ?-26 millions. As
one who, wished the greatest happiness to the greatest
number, he certainly preferred the majority of 26 mil-
lions to the minority of 30,000.—(Great cheering.)
He would advise his hearers to be, united in what they
sought. So long as the monopolists saw the middle and
working classes pulling against each other, so long would
they be secure. It was a law in mechanics, that two
powers, equal and opposing, destroyed each other ; but
when both were urged in the same direction, then the

entire force was the sum of the two. While disunited,
the monopolists would laugh at their opposition, but
firmly combined, no power on earth could resist them.
The Rev. Speaker concluded by reading the resolution,
which was condemnatory of the Corn-laws, and declar-
ing that they ought to be repealed, and sat down amidst
considerable applause.

Admiral GO-160N seconded the resolution, and entered
into some statistical details.

The resolution was then put, and carried by an over-
whelming majority, there being only four dissentients.
Mr. HENRY VINCENT was announced to move the
