Established 1825 ,and Constituted by Act of Parliament.
The TWENTIETH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
Company was held within their Office, 3, George-street, Edinburgh,
on 3londay, the 16th day of February, in terms of the Act of Parlia-
ment by which the Company is constituted.
EAGLE HENDERSON, Esq., merchant, in the chair.
The statements as to the progress of the business submitted by
the Directors en this occasion contained a most gratifying account
of the continued prosperity of the Institution.
It was reported :
That 699 new policies had been issued during the year ending
15th Nov. 1845.
That new assurances had been granted to the extant of 446,0261.
12s. 10d., during the year ending 15th Nov. 1845.
That large transactions had also been effected in other departments
of the business during the same period.
That assurance proposals had been declined during the year ending
15th Nev. 1845, to the number of 149, the whole proposals made to
the Company during the year being 847.
That the claims on the Company by death, which had arisen dur-
ing the year, had been considerably under the calculated amount
provided for by the tables.
That the Company's extensive Accumulated Fund continues to be
invested on unexceptionable security, at rates of interest considerably
exceeding those assumed as the basis of the Company's calculations.
The Chairman congratulated the meeting on these satisfactory
results, and in doing so drew particular attention to the great in-
crease in the business of the Company, and to the high position which
the Institution now occupies, as the chiet Life Assurance Company
established in Scotland on the guarantee sytem.
The Chairman also drew attention to the third division of profits
about to be declared, and stated that a Special General sleeting ei
the Company would be held early in March, to receive the report of
the directors on the investigation of the Company's affairs, and to
sanction the declaration of a bonus.

cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
kington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma
terial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

As LURE WATER, under a fanciful name, has recently been ex-

sold AERATED LIME WATER for many years past; but as lime
is dangerous to some constil utions, producing the very disorders it is
presumed to remedy or prevent, they regard it only as a medicine,
not to he used indiscriminately, hut only under medical direction.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an Immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Fronts.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most

which has attended It since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCO3IE being 'UPWARDS of 82,0001.
In 1841 the Company added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum
en the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from
the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,

The Indisputability of the policies granted by this Company—
The obligation to pay the sum assured, although the debt for which
the policy was taken out may have been paid before the claim arises—
Whole world policies not confined to the limits of Europe—
Option of half-premium payment for the first seven years—
These form a combination of advantages which can be obtained
only from the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company.
The success which has attended the system of Assurance pursued
by this Company is Mistral ed by the fact, that at the General Court,
held en the 9th day of July last, there was declared
A REDUCTION OF 25 PER CENT.
on the current year's premiums of all participating policies opened on
or before the 9th day of February, 1841.
Thus, a person aged 40, who opened a policy fur 1,0001
In February, 1841, at au annual premium of £32 10 0
Is called upon to pay this year only 24 7 6
And if this abatement be applied to pay the first year's
premium of an additional policy, the party will be
further assured to the extent of 215 9 4
Proportionate benefits accrue to policies on all ages.

itOWLAND'S KALYDOR, an eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally Celebrated for its safety in
application, as Dar its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
purifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tan, and
diScolottrations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the kends,
arms, and neck!
In eases of Chl)slaltia, chapped skin, or incidental Inflammation, it
is pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Conti-
nent of Europe, together With the " elete" of the aristocracy, and
"haute v016e."
Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore,
imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Ilowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. ROWLAND awl SON, 20, Hatton-

POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIET Y

PARISH OF MARYLEBONE.

A meeting of the parishioners of St. Marylebone was held, on Tues-
day evening, at Investigation Hall, Circus-street, New-road, to re-
ceive the report of the deputation to the Vestry of St.. Marylebone
on behalf of the unemployed and destitute poor, and to consider the
necessity of establishing a Poor Man's Guardian Society.
Dr. Cox, having been called to the chair, said he could assure
those present that he addressed them as friends, and he made use of
the term with the warmest and best feelings of his heart, which he
believed they would give him credit for. He came before them in
the cause of the poor man with a philanthropic object—in the hope
that they could ameliorate the condition of the poor by careful atten-
tion to their rights, and by expending money, if necessary, and by
raising up the wrong and the oppressed. It was with that object
before them that he had consented to take the chair that evening,
and it would ever be a source of happiness to him, if he should in
any way be instrumental towards securing it. They had met more-
over to receive a report from the deputation to the Vestry of Mary-
lebone, which had originated in a meeting held in the same place
some time better°, and he would, therefore, call on Mr. Cochrane to
lay that report before the meeting.
Mr COCHRANE said, the object of the meeting was for the purpose
of endeavourine, by combination of movement, to ebtaiu that aid
and assistance for the poorer classes generally, which they stood in
need of, and to obtain that assistance from the legal sources of the
public, by a firm, united, and determined course of conduct. They
would recollect that they had been addressed, at a former meeting in
that place, on the part played by the Vests er, and that what had been
said on that occasion, led to a strong expression of feeling in favour
of
_adeputation to the vestry from that meeting. That took place on
the 22d ofJannary last. On the 26th of the same month, the vestry
convened a meeting in the workhouse-yard; but giving advestistment
of that meeting only or, the 24th ; so that a powerful effect had been pro-
duced on the vestry by their proceedings. lie could net help ex-
pressing his strong conviction, that but for them the vestry would
not only not have convened a meeting on that day, but they were
aetually atraid to meet the parishioners, and gave them short notice.
He could not help adding, that it did not say much for the vestry
that they had been afraid of an examination. Before the meeting
he (Mr. Cochrane) went over to the workhouse-yard, that he might
see the system pursued there with the poor, and he found that the
staple means of relief was bread and water-gruel.---(Hear, hear.) A
man who came in, or rather was brought into the house in a state of
exhaustion and utterly destitute, perhaps half dying from want of
food, one of the Items on their tables, framed by the vestry, for this
being, was bread and water-gruel. The next thing was, that there
was a quantity of work for him to do next day.—(Cries of " Shame.")
And the third thing was, that if he refused to do that work they took
care to have him up before a magistrate. Ile (Mr. Cochrane) did not
mean to say that a man should be idle; but bad as poverty was in
itself, the law which existed tended to make the condition of the
poor more abject and oppressed. At the meeting at the workhouse-
yard a motion was get up conveying thanks to the vestry, but he
(Mr. Cochrane) made an amendment, not knowing indeed whether
he had adopted the proper mode to gain his end, that the rules of the.
vestry with reference to the relief of the poor should be read to the
meeting before that resolution was put. But directly that he moved
to the front of the hustings he eves received with hooting. Till' then
indeed he did not know he was a person of any importance whatever
in the parish—for a man's degree of importance might be measured
by the hissing with which he was received. However, when that
had subsided so much as to allow him to tell the meeting he had not
come to defend the poor-law guardians, the hissing ceased in front,
and all that still continued came from behind him, from among the
guardians themselves. He did not succeed in getting the rules read
at the meeting, but he did still maintain that the public bad a right
to know what the rules were, and if they vcore based
en justice and humanity, he had maintained that the
vestry should not have been afraid to have them publicly read. Thus
far as to that. lie had written since to the guardians for a copy of
them, that when the deputation waited on thc• vestry he might con-
front them with their own-rules ; but he could' not silenced in getting
them. The deputation which waited on the Teary from the former
meeting was numerous, and they were well rec eived by the vestry.
Mr Jordan and himself addressed them, and hi thought their only
defence, and directed to himself, was " What di d you do when you
were a guardian?"—(Hear.) But, supposing he (Sir. Cochrane) had
done nothing, that had nothing to do with the po int the deputation
had in hand ; and he was not the whole depotatioas, nor the onlyte-
presentative of the parishioners ; it mattered not 'whether he was a
good man or a badman. But they put a quest ion rhich turned pain-
fully against themselves in the long run. He told the vestry that lie
would answer this question, but on them would fell the ersacts of it.
Mr. Cochrane said to the meeting that it tai le to his 'knowledge,
whilst he was a guardian, that one day a poor eveman came to the
house, with a child at her breast, not a month. after the birth;
that a medical man declared that her breast was so fiat that
she had no sources of nourishment for her cd. sae
came to the workhouse ; she asked for mot eye but it was refused
she asked for bread, but it was refused; she was shut out from the
workhouse : 'such was her exhaustion, so a 'unk was nature, and
reason was so mastered by instincts grout a superior, that that
mother within an hour of her being shut out e f the
workhouse went
and threw her child into the river and destroy, -d it and gave herself
up to the police, confessing freely 'what she Ii ad done. Till then
this transaction was kept a secret. He (Mr.Cochr ane) felt it his duty to
search into it. He went to the attorney who wt s managing the un-
happy woman's case, by this time a prisoner it Newgate, and he
prayed the attorney te have himself and the needle 'al man subpoenaed
for the trial. They mere subpoenaed, but -their -testimony was not
called for, and the unhapsny woman was cor deennal to be executed
as a murderer ; but he was happy to add t hat an appeal made to
her Majesty on her beheld s soccessful. Thus much for the
vestry. He was not boastful c wa
what he had, done, es hot he thought it
proper to tell them of that. Beeesre leaving. :he thought it neaesseey
to remind them of the advertesement Alley bad put in the
papers for a man and a ee oman superintendent, whose
qualifications were to be able to Pad the church service. He
thought that the poor should have the ern 'liege as they had the
right to appear themselves in the house of 14, laow, he said, was
the time to come forward with the movement which they were just
taking up. The House of Commons lie was g lad to see had stirred
in the case of the Andover Union. He hoped that by firm and re-
spectful conduct they would indace the respectab, 'e portion of society to
rally round them till they weee able to make an impression On the
public mind of the treatment of the poor. He & st down after read-
ing the following resolution which had been adOla led by the vestry in
reference to the deputation:—
" Samuel Stephens, Esq., in the chair. Besolresd—That the de-
putation be informed that the ministering of relief to the poor is a
duty devolving upon the board of guardians, and that this board
being composed of good and just men, the board is of opinion that
every care is taken of the poor".—(Cries of "Shame.")
Mr. JouDAN said, when waitingon the vestry with the deputation,
he had asked the chairman whether the provision for the casual
poor was equally ample with that mate for the local poor, and all
the answer he received was—(Here Mr. Jordan shook his head in
token of the negative, and caused much laughter.) He concluded by
moving that this meeting did not consider there resolution of the vestry
satisfactory.
Mr. BOYLES, one of the guardians, wished to make some explana-
tions before the resolution was put. He Mai Mr. Cochrane had men-
tioned one case, which was undoubtedly trais, but he believed there
were circumstances which necessitated the we man's being refused at
the time. (Mr. B. then proceeded to quote teee dietary table for the
local poor, when he was stopped by the Chair. man, who said that
meeting had nothing to do except with the cast: al poor.) He con-
tinued—As to " tramps"—(oh, oh)—it had falls. in to his lot to go
with the poor again and again to Marylebono workhouse. He had
obtained for them half of a quartern loaf and sixpence, or a quartern
loaf and a sixpence or with a shilling, eighteenpence, and 2s. 6d.,
according ;to the number of children they had. lie had done that
since Easter last year in 140 cases, Sundays not excepted; and in
uo case had be refused, except in one of a young man of bad cha-
racter, who, when he was examined afterwards, was found with ls. 6d.
in money on his person and the half of a quartern loaf, which he
(Mr. Boyles) hid previously given him privately at his own house,
The young man did not know his house again, being brought in by
another entrance, and he came and pleaded destitution and want,
notwithstanding that he possessed all that money, and had the bread
he (Mr. Boyles) bad given him cut up into slices, and stowed away
about his person. He said there were no rules printed for the casual
poor, but they were being printed. Indeed the department had only
existed three weeks or a fortnight altogether in Marylebone.
The CHAIRMAN (to Mr. Boyles).—ls it, theft, that every poor per-
son going through the parish receives half of a quartern leaf and
6d., or ls., or 25., as the case may require ? I ask yen for 'Monne-
lion which may be satisfactory. You may be a person of influence,
you may go up to the workhouse, and get such n relief for. them.
Mr. BOYLES—It was invariably the practice, and did not proceed
from influence. • Ile had never known an instance of refusal, except
where there was a dissolute character.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. SAVAGE, and carried anent-
measly.
Mr. SAVAGE said he rose to bring the more important lushness of
the evening before the meeting. lie ,had to propose a resolution
for tho institution of a society to watch over the interests of the poor;
and in doing so he had in the first place to observe that he did not
refer to the guardians in one union or another, or in any union in
particular, but he would lay it down generally that these men under-
take to perform the duties of guardians, and 'having undertaken are
satisfied to bear the honour, delegating their duties to their paid ser-
vants. He said lie would bear out what he had to say by; facts. Mr.
Savage then proceeded to quote largely from the police reports, and
to comment on them as he proceeded. his said they knewwell with what
ease the guardian's could make their accusations, and bring forward
their servants always servile enough, to corroborate their statements,
while the poor man stood alone, and though he had a good character
might not have the means at hand to prove it. He would hare men treat-
ed as men ; he would have the legal relief administered in a free, and
generous, and honourable way, not meanly doled out in Weedy ph-
ial:lSe to the needy yictim, lie did not think that till eclat 1901

authorities gave sufficient intimation to the public where they poor
could find relief, and how they were to go about it; but that he
hoped would be remedied by the society they were about to establish.
He knew a case which had occurred within the last fourteen days
which illustrated the unkind treatment to which the poor had been
subjected. An old man had lived in the same parish 67 years, he hall
Seen his children married and gone, and now he was reduced to seek
admission into the 'workhouse. Ile was admitted. The first thing
they did to him was a very proper thing—they put him into the bath.
But how did those who attended on the bath use the old gentleman,
frail at those years? They left him standing in tile bath, on the
cold stones, till he caught disease, and was taken up to bed, and
within a few days he died. They wished, then, to let the guardians
know their duty—that they must not leave it to their hirelings to
perform. 11. r. Savage then referred to the Andover Union. He said
he knew it from well-authenticated sources, and be hoped the House
of Conunons would look into it, that the late master of that union had
privately employed female labour, and sent the produce, which had
cost him nothing, into the London market against free labour, which
was paid for at the rate of Is. per dozen shirts.—(Cries of" Shame.")
These guardians dealt in man, made merchandise of the poor, filled
their pockets from their unrewarded labour, and " the poor they sent
empty away."

ARTIBOHNE seconded the resolution, supporting it with many
able and pertinent remarks.

The following resolution was then put and carried unanimously:—
" That the frequent reports of the harsh and unjust way the ne-
cessitous poor are oppressed, both in the workhouses or as casual
poor, of the difficulties in the way of obtaining the scanty relief
allotted theth bj, the law, and the impossibility of those who are in
need obtaining redress froth any injustice practised toware.s them,
either by neglect of the guardians or the wilfulness of their officers,
this meeting is of opinion that a society should be established as a
Poor Man's Guardian Society, to insure the humane dispensation of
the law, and to protect the poor against neglect and oppression."
Mr. lioyixs interposed to deny the applicability of what had been
said to tile UtiOn of St. Marylebone.
Mr. J. SAVAGE moved—.

" That a committee, with power to add to their number, be ap-
pointed to establish such a society, and to carry out the foregoing
resolutions into effect, by appealing to the public, or other such means
as tilt" may think proper."
DivoirolT seconded the resolution, which was passed unani-
mously.
Mr. COCHRANE moved that the tkattis of the, meeting, should be
given to the press for their alvleacy of the intensts of the poor.
The motion was carried without opposition.
Mr. SAVAGE moved that John Walter, Esq., of Bearweod, long the
tried friend of the poor, should be requested to become the President
of the Society.
The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

It was moved by Mr. SAVAGE, and carried by the meeting—
" That no object of a political or party character be connected with
this society."
A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting
adjourned.
