CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
4, 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.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 260/.—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, 1249, 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. 2s. 6d.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. Gs.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
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. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. Gd. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 158. I Id.

since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.
but 1,183/. Ils. 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'Etaug, 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 Parisis, Eyeque
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.

Richard Matins, Esq., Q.C. I WlMain Wilberforce, Esq.
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, prospectuQes, 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.

WHAT D'YE BUY?

How often in London we meet with the cry,
As we pass through the streets, " What d'ye buy, what d'ye buy?"
E. MOSES and SON (through the means of this question)
Itegs permission to offer a useful suggestion ;
They possess at their warehouse such a boundless supply,
And they fearlessly say, " What d'ye bye, what d'ye buy?"
They've thousands of garments in perfect condition,
Whose very low prices defy competition.
E. MOSES and SON have a plentiful stock
Of elegant over-coats, dress-coats and frocks ;
And their trousers and waistcoats whose fashions outvle,
And all you require—" What d'ye buy, what d'ye buy ?"
Their juvenile articles, trtdy unique,
Unrivalled by any, wherever you see ;
And the hats and the furs of E. MOSES and SON
Bays never been equalled since trade was begun ;
And their outfits and hosiery stand very high
In the public esteem—" What d'ye buy, what d'ye buy ?"
A t the warehouse of MOSES and SON you may meet
With the best boots and shoes that have ever deck'd feet ;
And remember, economy's law is their rule,
Messrs. MOSES were taught at economy's school ;
And on quality here you may safely rely
On the goods that they sell—" What d'ye buy, what d'ye buy ?"

Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to

Caution.—E. lieges and Son regret having to guard the public

hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has
been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they
