A letter from Vienna in the Bourse Gazette of
Berlin says :—" The deliberations relative to the
affairs of Italy have been brought to a close. It
is stated that the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian
has obtained a triumph for his views, and that his
personal power will be increased. Ho will thus be
enabled to decide on many questions without pre-
viously referring to Vienna."
M. Photinos, Chancellor of Moldavia, has just
arrived at Tieunt, said to be charged with a mis-
sion from Princ,4Vogorides relative to the desire of
the latter to be nominated Hospodar of Moldavia ;
and he had been received by Count Bud., Minister
of Foreign Affairs.

The Giornale di .Roma of the 12th announces
the arrival of the King and Royal Family of Naples
at Porto d'Anzio, as already stated by telegraph.
It also mentions the interview between those h.gh
p-rsonage3 and the Pope and the presence of Don
Sebastian, but it differs from the telegram in one
particular, as it does not confirm the assertion
that Queeu Christina was present.

METROPOLITAN COUNTIES AND GENE.
RAL, LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the shareholders in., this
prosperous undertaking was held on Tuesday after-
noon, at the Company's offices, Regent•stre3t—
H. P. Fuller, Esq., in the chair.
Mr. CAMIWITX, the manager, having read the
notice convening the meeting, then read the follow-
ing report :

" The Directors of this Society have to report to its
members, at the close of the tenth year of its operations, a
continued steady progress of the business, notwithstanding
the unfavourable circumstances which, during the past
year, have affected all Assurance Societies. They have
issued during the lest twelve months 214 policies,
• assuring the sum of 80,910/. and producing an annual in-
come of 3,0301. 101. 10d. ; which raises the annual income
of the Society to 19,5791.175. 2d. Twenty proposals have
been declined, amounting to 9,6501., and there are now
accepted and waiting completion twenty-two proposals for
the sum of 8,975/. The ratio of the claims from the death
of parties assured to the total income of the Society, con-
tinues of a satisfactory character, and proves the soundness
of the principle upon which its operations have been con-
ducted, namely that of avoiding business of a speculative
character, and assuring only healthy lives carefully selected.
At the same time, as the Society grows older, the amount
of claims paid must necessarily increase. During the past
year they have risen to 5,1491. 18s. 6d. making a total paid
since the commencement of the Society of 29,9721.185. Id.,
of which 3,500/. has been covered by re-assurances. While
your directors are perfectly satisfied of the healthy condi-
tion of the business of the Society, they are fully aware of
the importance of giving every legitimate extension in
their power to your operations, and with this view they
have especially applied themselves, during the last six
months, to increase the number of your effective agents.
The measures which they have adopted for this purpose
have added very considerably to the number of agents
employed by you, and from the influential position of
many of these gentlemen, your directors anticipate a con-
siderable increase in your business through their exertions.
The diminution in the number of competitors for Life As-
surance business, through the disappearance from the field
of many of the societies which commenced their operations
about the sama time with your Society, or soon afterwards,
is an encouraging circumstance to efforts for the extension
of your business, and can scarcely fail of being productive
of advantage to you. In connexion with the exertions thus
making to extend more widely the benefits of the Society,
we would advert to the question which has been raised in
consequence of a recent legal decision, as to the effect of
the death of an assured person within the days of grace
allowed for payment of his premium' but without having
paid it. The directors feel confi lent that they express the
general feeling of ,the shareholders and other members of
the Society, in the determination to which they have come,
to treat a policy under such circumstances as still in force,
and pay the sum assured as in the ordinary course, deduct-
ing the amount due for the premium unpaid. They are
satisfied that the true interests of an Assurance Society are
inseparably bound up with the confidence of the public,
that no advantage will be taken of accidental omissions to
the prejudice of the assured ; and in order t 3 remove all
doubt on this subject from the minds of your policy-hol-
ders, they intend to propose to you to-day to sanction by e
formal resolution the course which they have adopted.
Yotir directors have filled up the vacancy in the direction
caused by the death of Admiral the Hon. George F.
Hothaw, by appointing Charles Frere, Esq., of the lions.'
of Lords and Commons, whose name will be submitted to
you for approval according to the provisions of the Deed
of Settlement. Henry Peter Fuller, Esq , Edward Yan-
sittart Neale, Esq., and Sir Thomas Newby Reeve, retire
by rotation as directors, but being eligible for re-election,
offer themselves accordingly. Henry Peach Buckler, Esq
and John Soper Streeter, Esq., the auditors of the Society,
also retire, but being eligible for re-election offer them-
selves accordingly."
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the reception and
adoption of the report, reminded the elder
members of the society then present, that when he
had the honour of being first called upon to fill the
chair, some years since, he informed the mem-
bers that he had the greatest confidence in
the undertaking, and was certain it would
ultimately do well, because the directors had
started with the determination that whether they
acquired business sl)wly or quickly they would do
it in a manner that should lay the founda-
tion of an Insurance-office of a permanent
and flourishing character. Last year he informed
the shareholders that he considered the society
must go on not only progressively, but in an n-
creased ratio ; but neither he nor any one then
present could by possibility have anticipated the
cloud of troubles that subsequently enshrouded
money and commercial matters, both in this coun-
try and generally throughout the civilised
world. He was, however, proud to be able
to inform the shareh ilders and those who were
insured in the offic., that the society had
passed through tha: cloud of troubles with
a continued course of prosperity, tho' not in that
ratio he had anticipated, and which in all probability
would have been the case had it not been for the
period of depression to which he had referred.
they had, he was happy to say, passed through
the crises safely and we'', and they might now look
forward with confidence to future prosperity.
(Hear, hear.) Witheut exaggeraiien, but speaking
in the plainest way possible, he could safely state
that their prospects were essentially good, and they
had learned one thing which they would constantly
carry out—the necess ty of being more and more
careful of bad lives. (Hear, hear.) The directors
of the Metropolitan Counties and General Life
Insurance Society had always been extremely jea-
lous of bad lives, and th it course of conduct ha, I
been increased this year. They intended on
all occasions to refuse bad lives whatever
might be the tempt &on held out to them to take
them. (hear, hen ) —an 1 he could not believe that
any one connected with the society would -Ufa
the directors h id c .me to a wrong co ,clusion
that respect. ( Hear.) Measures had been taken dur
ing the past year for isle: e ssing the staff of agents
iu the country, and there was no do tb: that at t e
next annual meeting is wool fours I they had
wade au advan;:t d step towards greater prosperity.
Still it should be borne in mind that notwith
standing the increased number of agent:, tho.
connected with the society should not remain
idle or supine, but on the contrary continue t
ueeevery exertion with their friends to induce them
to insure in this °tile... The direAors would con-
tinue to use their utmost exertions among
their friends, and the shareholders migh,
cmfidently dr the same, because the society
was thoroughly and firmly establish-d, and those
who now joined them would benefit by the bonus t
be declared in about two years' time, which the:,
was every reason to believe would be a very good

one. (Hear, hear.) This was not positively
what was called a mutual office, but it might be
made so in the sense of every member mutually as-
sis►ting each other in advancing its prosperity and
advantages.

Mr. Itifvek had much pleasure in seconding the
motion, and also in cordially seconding what
had fallen from the chairman as to the extreme
caution thedirectors had on all occasions manifested
in the management of the affairs of the company—
(hear, hear)—which was fully borne out by the
results of 10 years' working. (Hear, hear.) The
claims during this year had been exceedingly mo-
derate, being only a little over 5,0001., which was a
c invincingproef of the caution displayed by the direc-
tors in selecting healthy lives for insurance. It was
impossible for them last year to have foretold the
commercial crisis that had undoubtedly affected
every insurance institution—in many cases decreas-
ing the business 30, 40, and 50 per cent—that when
he found that notwithstanding that crisis this
society had done such a respectable amount of busi-
ness within the year, he had cause to congratulate
the shareholders, and hold out hopes that in more
prosperous times the amount would be doubled
and trebled. He was happy to find the directors had
the cenrage to spend a little money in the appoint-
ment of new agents in different parts of the country,
because whether doing a great or a small business
the house expenses were comparatively the same,
and he congratulated himself to find that those
expenses were now distributed over 20,0001. worth
of business, instead of 5,0001. or 10,0001., when he
first joined the society. Were they to increase
their business to 50,0001. or 100,0001. the increase
of expenses would be but trifling in comparison
with the magnitude of such increase of business.
Ho was convinced the company was so respectable
and substantial that it only required to be made
known to become one of the first of its kind in
the metropolis.
The report was then unanimously agreed to.
The CitAIRMAN called the attention of the meet-
ing to a resolution about to be submitted to them
for confirmation, relating to the non-repudiation
of policies in the event of the premium not being
paid within thirty days of grace. In point of fact,
the resolution was unnecessary, because not one of
the present directors would have attempted to
have repudiated a policy under such circumstan-
ces ; but in order to satisfy the public, the direc-
tors had thought it right to propose the following
resolution for the consideration of the meeting :

" Resolved, that where an assured life shall die within
the 30 days of grace allowed for the payment of the re-
newal premium on a policy without the sail premium
having been paid, the policy shall remain in farce, and
the amount of such premium in arrear be deducted from
the sum assured."

MT. VANSITTART NEALE seconded the resolution.
The effect of it, as stated, waste give an assurance to
the public in order to prevent calumny or doubts
being cast on the intentions of the directors, as was
too often the case with regard to young and enter-
prisieu officers. It was therefore thought desirable
to ask them by a formal resolution to sanction the
course of policy which the directors had hitherto
adopted. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said the society had greatly to
regret the loss by death of the services of Almiral
Honourable G. F. Hotham, one of the di-
rectors. His loss they all greatly deplored,
but, as far as possible, it had been com-
pensated by the election by the directors of a
gentleman to fill his place, who would in every
respect be a benefit both to the board and the
shareholders. That gentleman was Mr. Frere of
the House of Lords and Commons, and he (the
Chairman) asked the meeting to confirm that ap-
pointment. _ _ _

Mr. G. CHAPMAN seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. G. CHAPMAN said the next business was to
elect three directors in the room of those retiring,
and as those gentlemen were eligible for re-election,
he called upon the meeting to mark their sense of
the manner in which they had hitherto discharEed
their onerous duties, by unanimously re-electing
them. These directors had carried the society safely
through ten years, and as they were all satisfied
with the manner in which they had done it, he
thought they could not do better than re-elect
them. The affairs of the society were admirably
conducted, but yet, atjthe risk of being considered
a °Tumbler, he must make a remark on one point,
a/id that was the only point upon which he thought
itpossible for any ono to raise a question.
The CHAIRMAN—The directors invite explAna-
tion. They are much pleased to see shareholders
feel an interest in the progress of the society.
Mr. G. CIIA.PMAN—What he objected to was the
large amount of money said to be in the hands of
agents.

-The CHAIRMAN explained. The amount men-
tioned in the hands of the agents did not repre-
gent that amount of actual money in their hands.
The accounts were made up monthly, when the
receipts for the premiums were forwarded to the
different agents, they being immediately charged
with them ; but it might be, and no doubt fre-
quently was, the case, that the whole of the money
had not been collected by them when the accounts
for the year were made up. There was no other
way of Charging it but as money in their hands.
Mr. G. CHAPMAN considered the explanation per-
fectly satisfactory. He had much pleasure in
proposing the re-election of the following gentle-
men. :—Henry P. Ful'er, Esq., Edward Vaunt-
tart Neale, RI., and Sir Thomas Newby Reeve.
Mr. J. OLIVER seconded the motion, and the
retiring directors were unanimously re-elected.
Mr. KING considered the balance in the agent's
hands a very moderate sum for the amount of
business the office was doing. He bad seen the
balance-sheets of two insurance societies doing a
small business, where the amount in the agents'
bands was 2,5001. in one case, and 5,0001. in ano-
ther ; and he knew of a large company where the
balance amounted to 12,0001. He mentioned these
circumstances to show that their agents held only
s moderate amount in their hands. It was impossible
for them to transact their business without allow-
ing some to be in the hands of agents. He moved
the re-election of the auditors, and the usual remu-
neration of 20 guineas for their services for thc.l
past year.
Mr. CHAPMAN seconded the resolution. He had
every confidence in the auditors.

Tfie motion was unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the society on
having secured the valuable services of two gen-
tlemen as auditors who would not deviate
from the strictest examination of the ac-
counts. The directors were happy in having such
gentlemen appointed, because they desired that the
accounts should be unreservedly audited.
Mr. STREETER, one of the auditors, acknow-
ledged the compliment. He hoped the auditors
would be found to discharge their duty as satisfac-
tory the next ten years as they had done dulling
the past.
Mr. CHAPMAN proposed a vote of thanks to the
directors, generally, for the great care they had
taken in conducting the affairs of the company.
He had bean connected with it since its formation,
and could speak with confidence to their abilities
and desire to promote the interests of the society.
Under their direction it had prospered, and he had
no doubt it would continue to prosper.
Mr. HAY seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.

The CHAIRMAN, i❑ return, thanked the me3ting
for their renewed expression of good-will towardi
the directors. ThQy had studied the interests of
the shareholders and policy-hollers, and had
looked upon those interests as one, and that course
they should continue to adopt. Every year's
experience gave them an insight into lives they
should and should not insure, which they intended-
to act upon. They would endeavour to enlarge the
sphere of their operations cautiously and safely ;
in proof of which they had not appointed agents in
those parts of the kingdom with which it was
not consider° I desirable to be connected. The
shareholders might rest satisfied that every director
would We his interest to promote the prosperity
of the society, and give the shareholders and
policy-holders satisfaction. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. W. FULLER proposed a vote of thanks to
the manager and officers connected with the so-
ciety.
The manner in which they discharged their
respective duties reflected the highest credit on
them, and tended not only to raise the society in
the estimation of th 3 public, but to increase its
usefulness.

Mr. STREETER had great pleasure in second-
ing the motion, and spoke of the satisfactory
manner in which the accounts were kept.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. CAM ROUX returuel his sincere thanks and
those of his brother officers to the meting for the
very kind manner in which the resolution had been
proposed and received by the meting. The last
time he had the honour of aldreseing them he
expressed a hope that they should have made
m .re rapid progtress than they hat d )ne during
ttie past year; but it was to the circumstances that
had at iseu in e )nnection with the commercial world
that it had not beet realised. He, however, trusted
they might this year be more successful. He felt
certain if they had ten times the amount of busi-
ness to transact, it would be readily and cheerfully
done by the officers in connection with the society.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated
the proceedings.

It is no means unlikely that the success of the Mcn-
tenegtins, who are said to be about 15,000 strong, will
induce the Coristiai a in the Herzegovina and 13.isnia to
rise en mane against the Turku.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This - Day.)

THAMES.
STEALING A SHIP'S LIGHTNING CONDUCTOIL—Jobn
Mahoney, an Irish labourer, of No. 9, Harris'a-conrt;
Brook-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with stealing 1 lb. and 14 ounces of copper wire,.
part of the lightning conductor of the ship Harriet, lying
in the West India Dock.
Charles Douglas, a dock constable, said he stopped
the prisoner as he was leaving the dock at the principal
gateway yesrerday morning, and found 1 lb. 14 ounces
of new copper wire. Tne prisoner said he picked it up,
and that was all the information he could get from his).
Mr. William Cangley said he represented the owned!
of the ship Harriet. Tie wire produced was part 0'
the lightning conductor of the ship. The whole of O.
conductor was gone, and it was worth 301.
Mr. Sells—There is no evidence whatever that he took
the remainder of the wire.

Mr. Cangley—l believe he bas taken it away piece'
meal. There were 50 yards of it, and the ship is notr
without a lightning conductor.
Selfe—How came the prisoner on board the
Harriet ?

Mr. Cangloy—He wad employed on board as 4
labourers at one guinea per week.

Mr. Selfe—How much is owing to him.
Mr. Cangley—Only three days wages.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had committed a very wig'
chievous and dishonest act, and fined him 20s. for the
unlawful possession of the copper wire found upon him,
and in default of payment 14 days imprisonment.
Mr. Cangley asked if he was bound to pay the three
day's wages awing to the prisoner ?
Mr. Selfe—No, you are not, he has committed an act
of dishonesty.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

------•
Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market wag
very moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled very iliac'
tive, at Monday's quotations. There was a fair show of
sheep, and the mutton trade was rather heavy, except for
the primest old Downs, at unaltered currencies. We had
a dull sale for lambs, the supply of which was by no means
extensive, at a decline of 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of
Wight 320 head came fresh to hand. There was an ira-
proved sale for calves, at very full prices. Pigs and milch
cows were dull, but not cheaper.
