New these teas aro all good of their several kinds, some of them
exceedingly fine, and of a quality very rarely to be met with. At
one penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all
large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de-
mands. As will be noticed by the above list, so it is a well-known
fact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 toe's, or
2s. 2d. per pound, whfch, with duty added, makes 4s. 44d. per
pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number Ono,
sold this description at 48. 6d. per pound. Hundreds and thousands
of people have tried it, and can vouch for its strength and richness
of flavour. Nobody ever finds fault with it, and it plesses every-
body, because it is both good and cheap. When Government falls
the duty, we will fall the price of tea In the same ratio, at Number
One, and publish it to the world. All purchasers will be allowed one
pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.

" That the passing of lire stock to and from Smithfield is a nui-
sance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and to the public at
large, and that the present size and arrangement of the market
Idoes not afford sufficient accommodation, are propositions which
your Committee are prepared to maintain ; and that the site of a
live stock market in a thickly-inhabited part of the metropolis is
highly objectionable your Committee cannot reasonably doubt.
" Public slaughter-houses aro established with manifest advantage
to the community in almost every continental city ; and your Com-
mittee would rejoice at the establishment of slaughter-houses on an
improved plan, which, by affording every facility to the butcher,
might introduce-a better system, and to which those connected with
the trade might be induced voluntarily to resort. Such establish-
manta (for there should be, in there opinion, several in the environs
of London) would well merit the patronage of the public, to whose
opinion on such subjects, if strongly manifested, the butchers must
yield, and from whose decision there could be no appeal.
" Your Committee cannot but hope that permanent advantages
will accrue from this investigation• and that the Corporation of
London willerive every facility to the adoption of effectual remedies.
Those remedies should embrace as well the removal of the nuisances
of the market and consequent driving, of live stock through the
streets, as the improvement of the present system of slaughtering
eattleand, if adopted with due consideration of the rights of indi-
viduals, the convenience of the trade, and the welfare of the public,
would confer a most important benefit on the inhabitants of this
great and increasing metropena.,,_lixtracted from Report of Select
Committee of House of Commons on the state of Smithfield Market.
The object of the promoters of this Company may be briefly
Mated. It Is to establish a Groat Metropolitan Cattle Market, and
--cuses, in the suburbs of London, by
which the lIIIISSIICO and every eemequent evil of driving cattle
through the crowded thoroughfares will be avoided, cruelty pre-

PROCEEDINGS of the CLERICAL
MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.

(As reported January Bth, 1847.)
An extraordinary general fleeting of the proprietors of
this society was held yesterday at the office in Great Russell-
street, for the purpose of declaring a bonus cut of the profits
which have accrued from the general business of the ociety
during the five years ending June 30, 1846. Amongst the
directors present were Dr. Moore, G. Cr_ Babiugton, Esq,
Rev. A. B. Clough, Thomas Davis, Eq., Oliver Hargreave,
Esq., and Clement Rue,
Dr. MounE having taken the chair, Mr. Pinckard, the
secretary, read the report of the assets and liabilities ; the
former of which amount to 639,7971. 6s. 5d., and the latter
to 484,555/. Os. 5d., leaving a surplus of 155,2421. 6s.
The CIIAIRNIAN then stated that his colleagues had au-
thorised him to lay before the meeting the following report :
" In accordance with the provisions of the deed of consti-
etitution, the directors have called the present meeting, for the
purpose of laying before the proprietors and the assured the
result of an investigation of the society's affairs for the five
years ending June 30, 1846.
" Oa that day the society had been in existence twenty-
two years. An investigation of its affairs was made first in
1831, being seven years from the commencement ; a second
time in 1836; and a third time in 1841. The fourth inves-
tigation having been just completed, the directors have now
the gratification of communicating the result to the meeting.
"In order to present a clear view of the progress of the
society, the directors will proceed to exhibit the present
amount of its funds, together with their state at the last
quinquennial division.
"I. The societv's Income for the year ending with June,
1841, was 97,9001.: that for the year ending with June,
1846, 116,300 e Thus, notwithstanding the many de-
ductions which are constantly taking place, on account
of policies terminated by death or discontinued from other
causes, there is an increase in the annual income of the
society to the extent of 18,400/.
" 11. The amount of the property of the society, accumulated
from the excess of receipts above payments. was in 1811,
418,9031., and in 1846 has reached 639,7971. Under the
head of payments are included considerable sums paid
for the purchase of policies, and also to annuitants, besides
the amount which has become due from deaths and every
other demand.
" 111. After deducting the sum required to meet the liabilities
of the society, there remains a surplus of 155,242/. ; while
in 1841 the corresponding surplus was only 89,4001.
" This sum of 155,242/., has now to be dealt with, being
the amount of profit realised by the society.
In conformity with the provisions of the deed, ono half
of the profits is to be divided among the assured for life, and
one sixth part among the proprietors; but in order to avoid
inconvenient fractions, the directors have resolved to recom-
mend to this meeting to divide the SUM of 154,500. This
will apportion to the assured, for life, 77,250/., and to the pro-
prietors, 25,750/. leaving one third of the said profit, amount-
ing to 51,5C01, to be laid by and to accumulate as a reserved
fund.
" This division will give to the proprietors a bonus of 51.35.
per share, and to the assured a sum of 114,0311., being the
equivalent in reversion to the above amount of 77,250/.
"This sum of 114,031/. will be added to the polices, and
be payable at the death of the respective parties, and will
form an addition equal, on an average, to more than 36 per
cent. on the premiums received during the last five years.
" It maybe desirable, however, to remind the assured that
they have the option of having any one or more of the
bonuses to which they are entitled applied in reduction of
their future payments of premium.
" For the further information of the proprietors it may be
mentioned that, by the deed of constitution, the Proprietors'
Fund is not to accumulate by the addition of bonuses beyond
50,0001. ; all subsequent bonuses being paid over to the Pro-
prietors.
" The effect of that provision on the present occasion will
be, that of the above sum of 25.750/, 17,000/. will have to bo
added to the Proprietors' Fund, which will then have
reached its limit, and the remaining 8,750, being 1/. 15s. per
share, will be paid to the proprietors in Lash at the end of
March next.
" In estimating the amount of liabilities, it is important to
observe that every Policy, together with all other risks, has
been valued separately, and with great care ; and there has
been no encroachment upon future profits; but that a moue
of valuation has been adopted whereby a larger sum is re-
tained to meet such claims as may arise than is usual
with most other offices. This will appear by the following
examples :
