sport then proceeded as follows :
past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea-
regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while
ts of society, especially the mercantile commanity, and our
,stitutions connected with the general affairs of commerce,
the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions
runtry have stood unaffected by the crisis. Nothing can tend
extend confidence in these institutions than this result; and
,ed they will always be found affording protection and dis-
benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those
al changes.
Withstanding the unfortunate position of the country during
year, the amount of new business transacted by this Corn-
s exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous
the claims during the year have been greater in proportion
sal , but when the increased mortality throughout the king-
kerally is remembered, the Directors consider they have
o be well satisfied with the results."

t One half the world are desolately single, and the other
°ging, them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
e of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
s the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
tution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret Ai-
Prosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
broken health, are the great hindrances to dornestle happiness
social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
,cat. Honour and justice demaud that health sheuld feral an item
le compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
set wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, it
▪ surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.

sod, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
n. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
ir are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
above subjects, by anqualifled authors, which alone or
ether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
• publications claim year attention (same price le. each,
Post Is. fei.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
ad," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
nPhlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
re ephemeral scribbllngs of the hour, but the study of the author's
,who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
