REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
OF THE CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the

Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1843.
Having, at the meeting held in January, 1847, pre-
sented to the proprietors and assured a very full account
of the society's affairs, your directors hare but little to
communicate on the present occasion.
It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assem-
bled to learn, that, notwithstanding the increased and
active competition arising from the yearly establishment
of many new life assurance offices, the business of this
society still continues to advance.
In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the fol•
lowing facts:—

1. The number of policies granted on the lives of
clergymen, a class of persons generally distinguished for
longevity, has been greater during the year ending June
30th last (the period comprehended in this report) than
in any one year since the commencement of this society.
IL The society's income, which was 116,382/. in the
year ending June 30th, lii46, amounted to 122,9061. in
the year ending June 80th, 1847.
111. The number of new policies issued within the
year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby
287,079/. Being an increase, both in the number of
policies and in the sum assured, over those of any pre-
ceding year.

In —conclusion, the directors are happy to inform the
proprietors, that the society has not in any degree suf-
fered from the great mortality which has prevailed of
late throughout the kingdom, the claims, both in the
course of the year ending Juue 30, 1347, and also within
the six months ending with December last, not having
equalled either in number or amount those of preceding
years.

Tables of rates and forms of proposal can be obtained
of any of the society's agents, or by addressing a letter
to G. H. Pinckard, Resident Secretary, Office, No. 99,
Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury.

TILE URDERERS OF D WARRIER.—The Droit
gives the following details as to the manner in which M.
Beauvallon and M. D'Ecquevilley made their escape
from prison :—" On Friday, the 25th ult.,- at about 12
o'clock, M. Bourbonne, D'Ecquevilley's -brother-in-law
went to the Conciergerie with a permission to visit the
two prisoners. After they and another prisoner were
brought out, they entreated tie National Juards on duty
to sign a request that they should be set at liberty.
Many of the guards refused to sign, because they were
not condemned for political offences. The prisoners
were importunate, affirming that they had no intention
to fly, but meant only to go and support the cause of the
people. D'Ecquevilley added that his wife was at the
point of death, and that his only wish was to be at
liberty long enough to go and close her eyes. To in-
crease the interest in his favour, he 'bowed a cross
which he said General Prim had sent him since his con-
finement. Yielding to these instances, sone of the
officers in command of the post gave their signatures,
and the rest did the same. Upon this, a captain and
two other officers of the 7th Logion went to the Prefec-
ture of Police and procured the miler for the discharge
of the two prisoners."
