The POLICIES are INDISPUTABLE, in terms of the Deed of
Settlement of the Company, duly registered, and are not, therefore,
dependent for their validity on the construction to be put upon pre-
vious statements or the official papers which preceded them, or upon
reports, prospectuses, or other varying documents. They are thus
rendered CERTAIN FAMILY PROVISIONS, AND NEGOTIABLE
DOCUMENTS OF SECURITY.
Owing to this important improvement in the practice of life
assurance, the progress of this company has been rapid from the
commencement of its business, and is steadily advancing.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding,
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 30.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 11x. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. Ild.

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paris% Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by Jelin Mollard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handsel by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqtvintances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
