A meeting was then held of the trustees, mana-
gers, and members of the Benevolent Fund, John
Abel Smith, Esq., M.P. (who was received with
loud applause), in the chair.
The annual report of the managers was read by
the secretary, Mr. Linford, as follows :
The board haVe much pleasure in presenting to the
members and friends of the Provident Clerks' Benevolent
Fund, their 18th annual report. The income of the past
Year has been as follows, viz. :—Donations, £2l 10s. ; an-
nual subscriptions, £497 3s. 6d. ; Life ditto, £lO 10s.—
£529 3s. 6d. • subscriptions of ss. and upwards from assurers
being clerks, £665 ls.; interest, dividends, &c., £686 Os. 2d.;
Proceeds of public dinner in London, May 31, 1858, £1,244
12s. 11d. ; share of bonus (one tenth) received from the
Provident Clerks' Ilutual Life Assurance Association,
£l,OOO, total; '14,124 17s. 7d. An increased number of
appeals have been made 'to the board for temporary assist-
ance. There has, consequently, been a larger sum voted
in gratuities, which amount, during the year, to £lB5 Bs.
The loan fund continues to be extremely serviceable to
many of the members. The sum lent in 1158 was £1,863,
making a' total of £26,863 advanced in this form since the
est blishment of the fund in 1840. The capital of the fund
now amounts to £lB,BBO. The balance sheet, duly audited,
has been submitted to the trustees. In pursuance of the
resolution of the annual general meeting, held on the 3d of
February last,' an election of annuitants took place on the
31st May, when the following were elected, viz.:-1 clerk
to an annuity of £3o'; 1 widow to annuity of £2O; 1 ditto,
£l5, amounting together to £65 per annum. Four annuities
have fallen in during the past year, and the number now
remaining on the fund are 48, viz.-9 clerks, and 39 widows,
who are receiving, collectively, £855 per annum. The board
now, recommend that six additional 'be granted, viz., to oho
clerk and five widows Of clerks', subject to the discretion of
the board. A reSolution to the above effect will be sub-
mitted to the meeting. The board have much pleasure in
ccongratulating the members on the success which attended
the public dinner of this fund, which was held at the London
Tavern on the 31st of May last, under the able presidency
of Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq., M.P. for the City of.
London, and they gladly take this opportunity of renewing
their thanks to those by whose kind and liberal contribu-
tions the result was obtained, upwards of £1,200 being
added.to the fund. It is also with muck satisfaction the
board inform the members that they haVe received from the
Provident Clerks' Mutual Life Assurance Association the sum
of one thousand pounds, being the proporsion of profits contri-
buted by those members who are also subscribers to this fund.
The board have to report with much regret the loss by
death of one of the auditors, the late William Smee, Esq.,
whose valuable services to the fund' dated from it com-
mencement. The have also with extreme reluctance ac-
cepted the resignation of James William Gilbert, Esq.,
another of the auditors. who, has been compelled by ill-
health to relinquish his official connection with the fund,
while expressing the same kindly interest in its welfare
which he has manifested since its establishment. In con-
sequence of the above the board have obtained the consent
of George Earle Gray, Esq., chief accountant of the Bank
of England, and Augustus Jackson White, Esq., manager
of the City Bank, to fill the vacanies thus created, which
appointments have, therefore, been made by the board, sub-
ject to confirmation by the meeting,in accordance with
role 8. A resolution in accordance with the above will be
submitted to the meeting."
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the members on
the great progress that had been made in the aug-
mentation of the fund,
and especially with regard
to the £1,244 odd realised by the dinner, a circum-
stance which was not only a greet benefit to the
society, but which gave them that stability and that
assurance of the anxiety for their welfare on the
part of the public out of doors,
which in some
quarters had apparently been questioned.
Mr. LLOYD, after again referring to the large
payment of £3OO to the assurance office, com-
plained that undue pressure and unfair influence
Were brought to bear to secure votes for applicants
requiring assistance from the fund. There was one
ease where a poor widow applied, whose husband
for nearly
bneeearirl iyn the employ of a large firm in the city
thirty-seven years. Notwithstancl-
rr •
inb this long servitude, the firm had not the
lib„-Tality to advance the poor widow the £l5
or £2O per annum, which was all the fund could
supply her with, but they had the questionable
taste to priat,their names on her cards, and have
them sent round, for the purpose of influencing votes
for a trifling sum which would have cost them no
ine nvenience whatever to have presented her with.
(Rear, hear.) Mr. Lloyd concluded by urging
upon the managers the importance; of taking into
their consideration, during the present year, some
Plan for the establishment of orphan schools for the
children of deceased members.
The CHAIRMAN said he was sure Mr. Lloyd's
remarks about the case of the poor widow would
rind an echo in every breast, though he (the Chair-

Several experiments have been made at Chatham
with a new description of rifle bullet for firing at
long ranges, the invention of Captain I. Norton,
the result of which has been very satisfactory. The
superiority of the balls invented by Captain Norton
lies in his coating the bullet with a small film of
paper, which considerably lessens the tremendous
friction which the ordinary rifle bullets undergo
before they leave the rifle, thereby materially
diminishing their propelling force and. affecting the
accuracy of aim. Captain Norton also does
away with the ordinary " plug" at the base, one
description of bullet havin ma nail or screw inserted
at the base, and in the other kind the hollow for
the powder being very largo. More than a dozen
of the new bullets were fired at the target, the rifle
used being the elliptical bore rifle of Mr. Lancaster,
which is in use by the Royal Engineers. The range
tried was 250 yards, at which distance the accuracy
with which the new bullets-carried was exceedingly
satisfactory, only three failing to strike the target,
one miss being not the fault of the bullet. The
superiority of the new bullets over those now in
use was very manifest. The ordinary expanding
shot for the Enfield rifle requires the purest lead
for casting, but in the paper coated ball of Captain
Norton any lead will answer. The mould in which
the newly invented bullets were cast was made by
Mr. Lancaster to correspond with the elliptical
bore of his rifle.

PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION.—In another part of our columns will be
found a report of the 18th annual meeting of this
successful association.• With an income of £31,000
per annum, and an accumulated fund of nearly
£llO,OOO, while its existing policies of £960,000
are distributed over more than 5,000 lives, there is
no doubt of the Provident Clerks' office maintain-
ing the position it has ncrw assumed in the very
front rank of assurance institutions. It is gratify-
ing, too, to find the care and judgment, as well as
the integrity and uprightness of the management,
have won the unanimous approval and confidence
of this large constituency.

of each other, viz. :—Red Jacket, on the 2d December, with
39,611 ounces of gold ; Morning Light, on the same day,
with 13,609 ounces ; and the Tornado, on the 14th, with
29,164 ounces, making a total in the four ships of 123,027
ounces, which, with the Royal Mail steamship Columbia's
freight of £75,461, makes a 'grand total for the month of
£567,569, against £954,860 shipped in the previous month.
