The Assured or Members are the only t arties interested In the
Funds of this Institution, which now amounts to uk,wards of

TrIREFI MILE lONS STERLING.

. The Society's claims to public confidence and support are grounded
mainly on the sound and equitatie principles of its constitution, and
on' the care and success with which its operations have been con-
ducted from their commencement no to the present time.
While the Premiums are not hieher than those require I by many
other Offices the Society does not pretend to compete with those
which hold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the
lowest which are comnatiole with safety, or as being based on what
is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM."

There being ro Proprietary, however, those of the Assured wh9 by
the terms of th: ir policies are entiticd to participate in the Profirs of
the society, are the on, parties who derive benefit from the rates
being more than what are found from time to time to be required to
meet the actual risks ; and the result of past all .cat ons of Sitrolus
Profits has been such that in the ct..e of all the earlier Policies,
which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts
pail to the representatives of deceased Members have been nt :RE
THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIOINALLT ASSURED

—..—
In cases where family provision is the sole object this result cannot
fail to be considm*e las of the most sati-Metory 'lure ; while in other
in.tanceP where the part es ace de.icous o securing benetlt from the
Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES. iwiteatl of allowing the

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, APRIL 21.
The official" manager of the Tipperary Bank
writes to the _Freeniqu's 'Journal to correct a mitti-
apprehension to, which his own list had g;ven rise.
he shys, I have returned Mr. W. Kennedy and
Mr..V. Scully as directors, hecituse in the books of
the company they appear to have. been such within
the last three years, and it was therefore necessary
so to denignate them in the list withont 'reference
to the date of their 'ceasing to be directors. I
I think it right to add that these. gentlemen dis-
' posed of their shares, and had.the transfers regis-
tered in the books of the company in the months
of March . and Apri1,.4855, from which periods
their named:do not:appear in thabooks of the com-
pany.
• The Freeman;' cottun-entina in its commercial
article on the: nowly!pnblisheilist of coutrihutories,
says • •
Upon this list, deducting those who are manifestly
insolvent, it wmild take a ca,l of; say 100/. per share,
;to produce a sufficient sow, and the grand question
is, how much would he rec“vered on .such a call ?
This, then, brings us to a gill more painful list, that
of ,those.of the formts Bh:sr:holders Rho within three
years have either bona fide or colourably disposed of
their' shares. Far the tatter, if such there : be,
there is.not so much sympathy ; for, having endea-
voured to reach the profit and avoid the loss, there is a
species of poetical justice in their being caught. It con-
-4ains-..L5 names, of whom transferred their shares to Mr.
James Sadleir, and two others are twice transferred.
There are but four Dublin name,:—Jatnes Birch Ken-,
nedy,-37-3 shame ; William Austin, 373 shares ; James
Stirling, 144 ; and Thomas Edwards, 44. The first two
are evidently conversan t of the same lot of shares, and
a .out the same time—via, December 1853, and May,
1854 ; and the second name may possibly be a share-
broker or his clerk. ' There is a fifth name—that of
Mr. Thomas Hone—introduced in connexion with
the last name in a very invidious manner, as having
transferred these shares to Mr. Edwards in October,
1847, and it is the only case in which reference is made
to a transfer over three years. We infer readily that if
will be sought to make Mr. Hone liable for these shales
by showing that the other party held them merely fur
him, but this has yet to be establkhed, and it is at least
incautious and unjustifiable to put forward any name in
this way while the claim is yet to be established, and
it is at least incautious and unjustifiable to put forward
any name in this way while the claim is yet to be esta-
blished, and may -never be. It is true Mr. Hone is a
wealthy man, and may not care, but a person of sensitive
credit would be ruined by such a procedure.

PROCLAMATION OF PEACE.-HOAX
UPON THE PUBLIC.

In consequence of the appended declaration, bearing
the typar nt impress of authority, having been affixed
at the City boundaries and other places of prominence
around the metropolis, to the effect that yesterday an
official proclamation of peace would have been heralded
at the undermentioned places, some thousands of per-
sons, respectable and otherwise, whose credulity bad
thus been imposed upon, crowded the area in front of
the loyal Excl a ge, and who, notwithstanding the
assurances of the police that the whole affair was a hoax,
maintained each his positiJa with the most obdurate de-
termination.

At all tle other points at which it wag supposed this
" herald ng" would have taken place, large as.ienablages
of p,r,,ons had also collected.

TLe following is the declaration :
" V. R.

• PROCLAMATION EXTRAORDINARY WILL BE
ISSUED ON MONDAY, APRIL 21.

"A tWalnted herald, accompanied by a pursuivarit,
will arrive at Wes'rriinster at ten a m., where, prefaced
by a. fboirili of truinpe's, he will announce to her 111 a
je•ty's lieges the obj-cts of his most important mission,
Having so accomplished his assigned service, he will
thenco procPeil to the undernamed localities, where, at
the time hereby spec;fied, he will repeat the said procla-
mation rig the aforesaid manner:—

Repliant and Castle 10.35 a.m.
Al,lgate

Piccadilly circus
Charing-cros,
" F,,r behoof of all whoni this may concern,
"By order."

" By order" these pacific declaration] were destroyed,
and the pollee were for some time mystified, until a great
disturiance in the vicinity of the parks, and the subse-
quent apprehension of an individual, rtvealed that the
w'inle affair was a well-contrived, but badly-executed,
" puff" fur the wares of some tradesman in Oxford-
,treet.

An immense mob congregated round Marlborough-
street police-court about four o'clock yesterday aft,r
noon, in consequence of the capture of the individual
who wa-, presumed to he concerred in the hoax relative
to the peace-proclamation by Royal authority, with which
the metropolis had ben plehtdully placarded, a pro•
ceediog that had ~raven thou-awls of carious people to
the diffe,eht I,ictlities where it wa, announced the
Royal Herald would deliver his official inf,rmation.
A young man, who gave the name of Gaspar Collard,
wearing a herald's t.tbard, profusely decorated with tinsel
lions and unicorns, a blue volvet hat and feathers, and
a'together mad,- up in true thiatrical style, with mousta-
chios, long curly wiz, &c., was charged with au assault.
Jos,,ph DAVIS, a groom, said he was in Hyde park
that :kfterwion, looking at the defendant, when he was
struck by the defendant with his whip. After being
struck the defendant, who was on horseback, attempted
to rPe over him. _ _ _

_
Mr. Lea,llev, the chef clerk, inquired if the mob were
following and hooting tie defendant ?
The complainant replied in the affirmative, but Le was
not one of them.

Mr. Bingham (to defendant)—What have you to say ?
D,f,ndaiit—l am emp'oytd by Mr. Grevill Potter, of
Oxfx,i-sTieet, to read a proclamation at various places
to-day, annouicing to the publie that it is his intention
to give away portraits of the heroes of the Crimea, of
many hundred pounds value. About 5,000 bi is have
been posted in different parts, and because I was behind
the st-Ated time and the people were kept waiting, they
became infuriated, and when I made my app arance in
Hyde park the cries were " Pull him off Lis horse ;"
and I bliould have been torn off my horse if the
police c instable (Saint, D 183) bad not interlered. I
only i-truck in self defence, without as-aulting any one in
p,rLicular. I am only a servant acting under the in-
struvtions of another. _

Lisp, ctor Lester—This sham proclamation has been
the cause of great annoyance to the public. Thousands
have assembled in different parts, and tradesmen hate
been obliged to shut up their shops.
Mr. Bingham—l think the defendant's conduct to
say the least, very indiscreet, for he might have perilled
both limb and life in going amog the mob. I shall not
treat this as an assault, but only as a piece of tom-
foolery, which I should advise the defendant not to re•
peat. In collecting a large mob by such ridiculous
means you make yourself a small nuisanQe. You may
go this time, but first take off that absurd dress.
The defendant was then released.
