ATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH 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,
ttna but two in Ireland—,one for 5001. and the other for 2601. 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 52,9631.23. 6d.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481,, upon which 3201. 3e.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. Ifs. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
141/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11 d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 102. 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 I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished fur
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 Parisis, 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.

ONE PAYMENT FOR THE WHOLE OF LIFE.
riIHE RAILWAY ASSURANCE COMPANY,

Accidents. Incorporated under the Act of Parliament, 7 and S Vic.,

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency
of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF
LIFE.
The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re-
nova lof premium.
By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all
those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors
among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com-
pany arc enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than
is offered by any existing Company.
Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his
death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa-
tives tile full amount of his Policy.
If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company
will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.
Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any ease, and
on any railway in the United Kingdom.
The Directors are now granting assurances upon the follov(ing
terms, viz. :
For every Policy of 1001. 01. ss. I For every Policy of 1,060/. 21. 28.
~ IP 500/ 11. ss, „ „ „ 2,0001. 41. 4s.

Agents are appointed in all the principal towns of the United
Kingdom, through whom Assurances may be effected.
W. W. ,WILLIAMS, Secretary.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Every ene in trade must come down with his profits. The
landholder finds he must lower his rents, and he naturally curtails
hie expenditure, he will go where he can buy cheapest. In the
end, perhaps, he finds he can save in his expenditure a good deal, if
not all, that he has been curtailed in his income; and this saving
principle will descend through all classes, even to the labourer.
How necessary then must it be to prepare for the fall by timely sa-
vings; by carefully laying out money where it will go the furthest
and produce most? It is not intended here to argue, whether in a
country like this, low or high prices are the best for the nation;
some politicians say, that where a large portion of our expenses may
he put under the item of taxes which are demanded in full, low
prices and small profits will not answer, but this depends on cir-
cumstances ; an experiment tried on a very extensive
scale has proved, that small profits and low prices command
a large amount of trade. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have for
years made it their system of business. They have found that a
shilling profit on an article pays much better Wm a ten shilling profit,
because, v here they could have sold only one, they sell 20 or 30 ;
and after having for many years conducted their gigantic establish-
ment upon the small profit system, they have proved its efficacy
most completely. But it is not only the small profit which lower
the prices of their articles, it is in the purchase of material in great
quantities, with an unlimited command of capital, at the periods
most favourable for price, that they save all the profits of factors,
dealers, and middle men, so that the very coat which would cost
some tradesmen 50s. would coat them only 315., and the tradesman
who pays most for it wants the most profit ; so that the customer
who buys of one mug perhaps pay 31. 103., and can be served by E.
MOSES and SON for 325. Of course, this can only be warranted
by a very extensive trade, far more extensive than ordinary people
imagine. By the same kind of reasoning it may be concluded that,
where one man sells a coat for W. 10s.. and gets a pound by it,
Messrs. E. MOSES and SON will sell fifty, and get 51. by them.
Let any lady or gentleman walk over their establishment, and see
garments by thousands, arid they will cease to wonder how Messrs.
E. MOSES and SON can supply the very best of everything at the
very low figure, which they have long adopted as their undeviating
charge for everything they make. Their stock of summer articles
has never been equalled in quality, variety, and elegance.

DEATH OF A BURGLAR.--A coroner's investigation
took place on Friday, at the county gaol, Stafford, concern-
ing the death of a burglar named Mark Smith, an inmate of
th prison, who died from the effects of a cutlass wound,
which was inflicted daring a formidable encounter with the
police. On the morning of the 20th ult. the deceased and
another determined burglar, named George Wood, alias
Arthur Key (who was transported at the late Quarter Ses-
sions), entered the premises of Mr. Stackhouse, at Walsall,
where they were surprised by the sergeant of police and two
or three of his men. They were called to surrender, when
they made a desperate effort to escape. Key was Captured,
but Smith rushed down a long garden, and a constable was
about to secure him, when the fellow dealt the officer a se-
vere blow over the head with a heavy bludgeon, which he
held in his hand. The officer managed to draw his cutlass,
and, in self-defence, struck at the prisoner. The cutlass fell
on his head, and, as was subsequently ascertained, fractured
his scull. The blow felled him to the ground, and he was
then secured, and, with Key, removed to the station-house,
where the wounded burglar received every medical relief.
They were committed for trial to the county gaol, but
Smith gradually sunk under the injury he had sustained on
the head, and expired. The jury returned a verdict of
" Justifiable homicide."

DETERMINED SUICIDE AT ROTIIERRAM.—About
seven o'clock on Saturday morning last, Mary Steel, wife of
Wm. Steel, labourer, iNlasbro', committed suicide in a very
determined manner. Shortly before seven o'clock she went
up stairs, and was followed by her mother, a decrepid old
woman. Deceased attempted to push her down stairs, but
not succeeding in this she closed the chamber door, placed
her back against it, and almost severed her head from her
body with a razor. She died in a few minutes. She had
been in a desponding state of mind for some time, and it
was the intention of her friends to take steps that very day
to provide for her adiniuien into the lunatic asylum.—
