"The accumulated capital is carefully invested in Go-
vernment, real, and other approved securities; the direc-
tors having long since discontinued the practice of advancing
money on personal securities.
" The mortality experienced during the twelvemonth
under review has been much less than that which the cal-
culations had anticipated. When it is borne in mind
that this society takes a large number of climate and dis-
eased risks, it is highly satisfactory to see that the mor
tality is not in excess of the general mortality of England
and Wales.

" Until the latter months of the past official year thii
increase of the business in India had been uninterrupted ;'
the horrible catastrophe of the recent mutinies and, mur-
ders there have exposed many valuable lives to danger;
and although the society cannot fail to lose many of those;
who aro assured, it is consolatory to learn by the most re'
cent intelligence received in this country, as appears br
the report of the Calcutta Board, dated in Sc ptember Wee
that up to that time only eight claims had been made,
amounting to 8,9001." ;'

Sir T. PHILLIPS said the meeting ought not to sepst
rate without returning their thanks to the Board of
Directors in India, for the manner in which they bad
conducted the affairs of the society there, under very
difficult and trying circumstances. They had shown. A
firmness and discretion in the discharge of their duties
amid the almost paralysing influences that surrounded'
them, which had contributed greatly to support and
strengthen the affairs of the society there, and vrbiott
could not be too highly praised. He accordingly moves,
that the thanks of the meeting be given to the Indian
directors.

Dr. DUNLAP seconded the motion, which was then put
and carried unanimously.
It was proposed and carried, without opposition, that'
George Gun Hay, E,q., and Benjamin Phillips, .Egl
the retiring directors, and J. S. Taylor, Esq•s
and Joseph Whitehouse, Esq., the retiring auditors, be
re-elected.

Mr. THos. STEVENtioN then moved a vote of thanks to
the A uditors, who he said had done their duty ptoperlf
and fairly to the society, by going so strictly and eearch;t,
ingly through the accounts as to render it almost ,
impossible that any portion of their funds could be'
improperly dealt with or mismanaged.
Lieuk-Colonel HY. DOVETON having seconded the
motion, it was carried unanimously.
Mr. JOHN S. Tax Lou re timed thanks on behalf of
himself and brother auditors, and expressed a hop.
that they would continue to merit the approbation of
he society by the same earnest discharge of their
duties.
Mr. T. COATES moved that the thanks of the society''
be given to the directors for the vigilance whit which
they had watched over it affairs, and the almost uniforin
success that had attended their efforts. They had done
nothing rashly, bat bad acted so as
incrrendereasingly pro:
gressive.

and himself, and assured the meeting that the Board
would always use its utmost exertions to,maintain and
juAify the confidence which the society had for so loot
a period placed in them.
Mr. B. C. GRIFFITH proposed, and Mr. tHoliAll.

THE WRECK OF THE SCREW STEAMER DUEHAIf,----it
furthr despatch received at Lloyd's mentions that ad*
vessel, already reported as having gone on shore near
Audiene, while on her voyage from Africa to Loodooi
has entirely broken up ; and that the cargo is scattered
about, and very little of it expected to be saved..
TITS WEATHER IN THS NORTH.—A sharp frost set IP
on Wednesday evening, and continued up to last night;
the ground being covered with hoar frost in the morning:
Snow fell for the first time on the Northumberland
coast on the day previous. Large flocks of wild rleei'
have passed over Yorkshire to the south during the
few days.
Ton VALUE OF AN ENGRAVED PLATE.—Yesterday
at a public sale of the productions of the fine arts, bl
Mr. Lewis, at his auction-rooms, Fleet-street, the idol
plate of her Majesty Opening the Great Exlaihitione
painted by H. C. Selons, engraved by Benin, and the
engraving of which cost 2,5001., sold at 56/.
We (Scotsman) understand that Dr. Robert Lee h.Se
received her Majesty's most gracious commands to pub^
lish the sermon preached by him before the Court ill
Crathie, Church iu October last. The subject of al
discourse is, " The Care of the Body a Christian Duty,'
and we have no doubt that it will be found amply; de-
serving of the honour which the royal hearer has seen
fit to confer upon it.
The Nerthumberland and Durham District Bank did
not wake the slightest conernunicetion yesterday to their
London agents. Up to Wednesday afternoon the fr
honour of their draughts here does not seem to
have
been generay known at Newcastle, and the offael
of the bank are understood to have been 100
open as usual. . The idea of any possible restore.
tion of the concern seems to be considered wholly
out of the question, and the prevalent opinion es
to the state of affairs that will be disclosed when'
ever a thorough investigation is made is very disc opt
ing. Apparently, however, no doubt need be eater-
tained as to the ultimate liquidation of all claims, eleeel
wealthy persons being included in the proprietary. Still,
it seems that out of the total number of. about 400' os
less than 112 are unmarried women and widows. Lilts
the Western of Scotland, the bank had been in difB°111;
ties before, and had received large aid from the B ink 0^
England in 1847.
EATRAORDINARY DEATH OF A YOUNG VirOMAN.--

The gentleman slept there three nights. Oe Sunda,'
she complained of pains in the head and chest, rad the
gentleman procured medicine for her from a chemises.
On Monday she became worse, and 'a surgeon was se?t
for, when she died in his presence. The surgeon IP"
there was nothing in the *medicine she had take*
which could have caused her death. The inqUeE; has
adjourned, in order to learn the result of a 210$411Wr.
'ton examination.
Yesterday morning a fire took place in the 15„1.18:
mises belonging to Mr. G. Gallienne, a cutler, Nth '
Goswell-street. It commenced from some unktl"wee
cause in the front shop, and rapidly extended
the ,arloure, and was working its way up the stairs Ell

managed to effect a safe retreat. The stock in trade The
destroyed, and the building partially consumed. .-I:ug,
