To be empowered by Act of Parliament, and the responsibility
limited by discharged Settlement.
The increments and decrements of mortality in India are
now already as wel known as those of the Mother-Country,
ascertained as the latter have been by Babbage and Morgan's
Equitable Experience, and the Carlisle and Goverment Annuity
Tables. Some Offices have made East Indian risks a secondary
feature of their business, but the vastly and continually increas-
ing connexion with the East, demands that a primary institu-
tion should be formed.

It is also expedient and desirable that a great Assurance and
Annuity Office for India should be identified with the interests
of the people of this country located there, who in a variety of
contingencies require the protecting and fostering influence of
a great mercantile institution.
It is proposed that a proportion of the profits, not exce tiding
one-tenth, shall annually, at the discretion of the Dire ctors,
be appropriated to cases of sudden bereavement, and form the
nucleus of a benevolent fund, which under judicious manage-
ment would be eminently useful.
An English Office, with Agencies in the three Presidencies
of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, ready to pay all policies and
annuities contracted in this country, is the chief object now
sought to be attained.
United with this special object the Oriental Office will em-
brace all who wish to effect insurances en lives, to sell rever-
sions, to purchase annuities, or to contract loans upon proper
security, which general business will add in the infancy of the
Establishment to its profits and its permanent prosperity.
Tables of Life Assurance and Annuities, by an eminent Ma-
thematician and Actuary, founded upon the experience of In-
dian lives is the different Presidencies, and certain data., fur- 1
nished from cfficial sources, are in the course of preparation,
and, after undergoing the examination of the Board of )Direc-
tors, will be adopted and acted upon, according to the s everal
circumstances of each case.

Other Tables for General Business are now ready, most de-
pending, like many modern Offices, upon chance or luck fur
present success, with a certainty of final failure from their inhe-
rent unsoundness, but based upon the principles that have
guided the Offices of longest standing and the greatest res pee.
tability. .

'1 he purchase of Reversions or contingent remainders, and
the granting of Annuities to persons about to reside im the
East, will form leading features of the Establishment, at id the
latter will be governed by the known decrements of mo.rtality
in the different localities.

The names of the Directors and Officers will be advi irtised
when the list is completed.

A dreadful accident happened near Eiege I aSt
week. It appears that the railway station is three miles fr ei a
the town, and that the usual conveyance is an omnibus twei it Y
feet high. In consequence of the shameful overloadi ai ),*
of one of these vehicles, there being from twenty-five to thiet,
passenger=, besides an unusual proportion of luggage, tb;
gigantic vehicle was completely renverse in descending the hil
one mile from i's destination. There were twelve peTSOni
wounded, but the most severely injured was an English lady,
the lion. Mrs. Ives, who received a wound in the bead, aas
whose courier is likely to be a cripple for life. A French gem-
tleman had his leg broken. An action has been common cot I
against the proprietors, and the damages laid at 20,000 Ira' 3cs. •
