REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI-
NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the
ENtrINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850.

The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro-
posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which
323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Annual Premiums to
the amount of 2,9621. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors
have deemed it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of
14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. stand over for the completion
or further consideration.

The number of claims from death during the year has been five,
and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose
in December. 1849, is 2,250/. In all cases, when requested by the re-
presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the
usual discount. There aro not, at the present time, any claims upon
the Society.
The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the
1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 1,,87131. Is. 4d.
The Directors feel great pleasure in being' enabled to submit this
very satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the
public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid
of the members must advance its prosperity.
By order of the Court of Directors.

GLASOW, MARCH s.—Coastwise and from Ireland there

arrived from the Black Sea ; about 1,333 quarters of wheat
and 3,685 sacks of flour from France. Via Grangemouth,
about 754 quarters of wheat, 710 quarters of barley, and 12
quarters of peas reached from foreign ports. No change can
be noticed in the spirit of the trade ; and sales of any article
during the week were mostly in retail, at about last Wednes-
day's currency. This day's market was moderately well at-
tended. Wheat was rather a better sale ; flour in retail de-
mand, at the quotations. Barley dull for local purposes. There
was an inquiry for shipment to the United States without
affecting its value, which has to be written unaltered. Oats
and oatmeal in slow request. Beans and peas were in fair re-
