THE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION.—The
12th annual meeting of the proprietors was held on Friday
at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry, where an unusually
large number of the members assembled. Mr. Godson,
M.P., having taken the chair, the proceedings were opened,
and the actuary, Mr. Hardy, read a very luminous and sa-
tisfactory acceunt of the state of the society. By this it ap-
peared that the capital insured already aillMt3 to 810,1751.,
the annual revenue ti 20,8041, and the surplus to be divided
in accordance with the plan of the society to 48,015/. A
financial condition so sound and advantageous afforded a
theme of general congratulation, and promises tg make this
association of great pal lie and private benefit, by a wider ex-
tension of its objects and application. Local boards are
already established at Gloucester, Leamington, Liverpool, and
Bath. After votes of thanks to the chairman, who spoke at
some length on the gratifying prove= of the society, to the
actuary, who briefly returned thanks, and to the directors,
acknowledged by Sir C. Douglas, M.P., the meeting sepa-
rated. The report, which was highly approved, was ordered
to be printed for general distributtou.
