During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Engisei,
and b'nt two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—malting
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
aeverely 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 45,1251. 63.
4;lxteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 33.
was received by the company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the lot of June last,
assurances, were effected to the extant of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
antOuraing to 23,9901.'165. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. is., leaving gl;te yearly income on the Igt of June last egtial to
2,9911. 15s. lld.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to•the extent of 17,7001.,
bat 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was alvanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the

I et four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, 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, Eveque
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 prosrects.

" Will you, I pray ypti, demand that demi-devil
Why he bath thus ensared my soul and body ? "—OTHELLO.
If, as Lon', Joint Busso says, in his Letter to the Bishop of Dur-
ham, the tervi,uc.:V of the Romish Church be to confine the intellect
and enslave the Foul, does not the fact of doctors dec wring to a con-
fiding penple that poisons are medicines tend to confine the intellect
and enslave the mind to th?. chariot-wheels of doctor-craft ? Thou-
sands of individuals throughout the world are now alive on this
point. When will the world emancipate itself from the fatal deltision
—fatal in every point of view, both of. body and mind ? People
should think for themselves in medicine as well as in religion.
Hurrah 1 then, for liberty of conscience, the medical liberty of the
subject, and the emancipation of the mind both in religion and in
• medicine.

Issued by the British College of Health, New-road, London,
the 25th day of November, A.D. 1850.

The following Protest was made in July, 1846:
British College of Health, New-road, London.
PROTEST OF HYGEISTS AGAINST THE ORGANIC THEORY

OF THE AiIIoICAL SCHOOLS,

1. Because the organic theory sanctions the use of poisons in me-
dicine, and makes a mystery and confusion of the simple art of
healing.

2. iecaus9 poisons have been introduced in medicine, by doctors,
with a view to prevent people attempting to cure themcelves, and
also with a view to claim a legal right in the administration of such
poisons and medicines.
3. Because, under the organic theory, the cure of diseases Is re-
duced to a trade of useless attendances and yisits.
4. Because doctors (as a body) acting up to that interested and
dishonest theory, and therefore all differing among themselves, and
practising with almost as many drugs and chemicals as there are
days in the year, can have no well-grounded experience in any of
the things which they prescribe in short, because it must be all
guess work with them. .

5. Because, under the organic theory, In cases of death by poisons,
administered" medicinally" by a doctor, no notice whatever can be
legally taken of ,such deaths. the public being talsely taught to
believe that such poisons are essential to the cure of diseases.
6. Because the numerous cases of poisoning throughout the
country are effected with what doctors use medicinally, viz., lau-
danum, prussic acid arsenic, corrosive sublimate, &c. jlygeists
contend that such poisons ought not to be used medicinally, because
all diseases proceed from one cause, viz., impurity of the blood, and
should therefore be treated by a good ad wholesome purifier of the
blood, which the experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved the Vegetabld Universal Medicine of the British College of
Health to be.

7. Because Hygeists, discarding poisons altogether from medicine,
and dealing only in that which is simple and good for the human
body, claim the medical libegty of the subject in its most extended
signification.
Issued by the British College of Health, New-iSitd, London, for
and on behalf of the Body of Hygeists, this 20th day of
July, A.D.1846. _ . _

In further illustration of this protest, the public is referred to the
Hygaan prints; showing the organic theory in all its deformities, to
be had of all the ilygaian Agents.

The following " Pastoral Letter" ha; been ad-
dressed to "the faithful" of the diocese of Bieming7
harh and Nottingham, by William Bernarl, 0 5.8.,
"Bishop of Birmingham, and Administrator of .the
Diocese of Nottingham :
William Bernard, by the Grace of God send the favour
of the Apostolic See, Bishop of Birmingham and Ad-
ministrator of the Dioceses of Nottingham, to our
'dearly helovid the clergy, secular and regular, and the
faithful of the said dioceses, health and benediction in
the. Lord.

Dearly Beloved,—" Blessed are ye when they shall
revile you, and persecute you, and speak all manner. of
.evil against you, untruly, for My sake; be glad and re-
joice, for your reward is ye' y great in heaven." God
our Saviour, who cannot deceive or fail, has given us
this sacred promise, this heavenly consolation. He has
said it to His children of all times. He says it to us,
and He cannot come short of His words; rather will He
,far exceed His promises. Hence do we raise our
eyes to Him who is at the right hand of the
Father, and abound in cansolation. He says,
" Have confidence; I have overcome the world;" and
He is with us, as He was with Peter, to uphold
us on the troubled waters. The rage of unbelief
is unchained against us; but the angel of. the
Lord; who closed the mouths of lions that they should
do no hurt, is by our side. What have we seen? We
-have seen the Vicar of God and Chief Pastor of Chris.
tendom and the prelates of our. Church held up in bur-.
lesque, and their names and sacred offices exposed to
mockery and ignominy in every imaginable shape; and
that even in the publio streets of our metropolis, the
guardians of ptace.and of public decency looking on, we
have seen our holiest, our dearest, our mot saving
truths and mysteries blasphemed by deeds as well as
words before the ignorant crowd; ail& not a hand of any
of those to chom God has given his power on earth pat
forth to protect the religion of the greatest Christian
community within her %iajesty's empire from those pro-
fanations. The Catholic nations of Europe have also
seen how they, in their dearest and most intimate feel-
ings, have been insulted; and not themselves only, but
their chief pastor also; not their chief pastor only, but
even their God.

IFor our parts, dearly beloved, we have to take this
reflection to our hearts—that so did they treat our
Divine Master in the streets of Jerusalem. And he
says to us—'• If the world hate you, know that it bath
hated me before you. If you had been of the world the
world would love its own; but because you are not of
the world therefore the world hateth you. Remember
my word that I said to you—The servant is not greater
than his master. If they have persecuted me, you also
will they persecute." We are instructed, we are divinely
prepared, we see our Lord's truth in these very things—
our confidence is strengthened; and our Comforter and
Strength has also said, "Fear not, I am always with you."
What have we heard? We have heard the First
Minister of the Crown pouring out such continpt as a
frail mortal can against whet we know to be, the most
holy and 3anczifying gifts of our dearest Saviour. We
have heard mon of the highest station striving to it flame
the minds of mon, cad to taiie a moral, or even a legal-
persecution, against us. We have heard ntnebers
of her Majssty'a clergy--of those who range themselves
beneath the spiritual headship of our Ssvereieti—men
who profess themselves to be the ministers of truth and
justice, and I:.eice, and charity, urged on by tilts high
example, coiltoiing in a heat ;d tiaalry of cliqinnics,
of insults, anti of every manner of wild ml 3 et;i;rln iii ,
against the truths we profess, and the mysteries which
console us; against the spiritual ac:s of our Chief Pastor
led against ourselves. They know well, those especially
who, from their positon, are bound to protect the
liberty and peace of ,11 who inhabit the laud—know well
that, as a body, we ere patient, an 4 enduriee, and
forgiving; that we can nAtlicr be stirred to disffec-
•n , on by their acts, nor diva rted from our nilt.,gi3nce
to one Sovereign; that our loyalty and submission to
the Crown and State is en obligation ef our con-
science, and that our fidelity to our spiritual s the
sure guarantee of our loyalty to our ternperal head;
that in prcportion to our carefulness to giving to
God the things that are God's is our prompt disposition
to render•unto Caesar the things that are Cae3ar's. These
things do they know and calculate upon. What other
body of her Majesty's subjects, as numerous as ours,. if
another Christian communion could be found so largely
extended over this vast empire, would they have dared
to treat as we are treated ? Fur well do they know
what energies and passions would be set in motion, which
our holy religion forbids us to indulge in.
And what, dearly beloved, is the cause of this out-
burst upon our Christian and national liberties ?
that those bishops who have so long ruled over you
are now called by English instead of by foreign titles.
Because our Church in England is no longer placed in
an exceptional, but in the usual and regular order of its
divine constitution. Because we aro no longer left to be
ruled in our spiritual affairs in that extraordinary way
in which the Church is provided for in Pagan lands, or
where much persecution is raised against here Literally,
because we ourselves had concluded • that- we were no
longer under persecution. Because, acting on this con-
clusion, the Pope has withdrawn the exercise ef his
powers as immediate bishop from this country,
and left us to be governed •by our own bishops ;
because he has left these episcopal powers to
be exercised by Englishmen whien ho used to
exercise himself. It is idle to talk of the division of the
country as a new thing; it has always been divided by
us. There are but lines drawn by the mind, and not a
taking of temporal possession. Where there is more
than one bishop in a country, how can each know his
flock and his work except by marking lines of division ?
The Pope has, in fact, done no more than appoint
bishops in England in the same way as he does in
Ireland—as he has changed Vicars-Apostolic into a
hierarchy in Australia—as he has done in the Mauri-
tius—as the late Pope marked out the new bishopric of
Galway—as bishops are appointed in Protestant Prussia
and in schismatical Russia—as in the United States of
America.

In vain it is objected that this is the act of a foreign
Sovereign. For the Pope has in nowise acted as a So-
vereign, but as a bishop, and as the bishop of bishops,
as the supreme pastor of the Church. Oar Parliament
itself made this distinction three years ago. An Act
was passed to allow diplomatic relations with his Holi-
ness in the capacity of Sovereign of Rome, hut not
as Pope. And how could this be done, unless there were
a visible, plain, and admitted distinction between Pius
IX. as Pope, and Pius IX. as Sovereign c Rome ?
And, if plea be made that his Holiness has done this
act without consulting the State, how could it ho other-
wise, seeing that by au Act of the Legislature they had
declined to hold communication with him in that very
capacity in which alone he acts in ecclesiastical effairs?
But even this subterfuge is without foundation. For we
have it on undoubted authority, that the Holy F:..ther
has shown every delicacy and attention this, the case
admitted of to our Government. Nay, more, it was well
known that this hierarchy in no way contrevteied the
law, so long us we took not the titles of Protestant
bishops; and that the present head of the Ministry had,
on two separate occasions, advocated in Parliament the
expediency of our being allowed, by a repeal of the dis-
allowing clause, to take even those title;, it so minded.
We had seen the existing Ministry directing that their
titles of honour should he given both to the new Catholic
hierarchies of the colonies and to the prelates of Ireland,
end how could we imagine that we poseeseed not those
liberties in England which were recognized both in Ire-
land and in the colonies? The Tope had seen an English
Protestant Bishop exncising his ministry not only in
Catholic Malta. but in the city of Rome i;self; and how
could his Holiness suppose that less liberty should exist
in England fur us, whose ministry is required by inure
than ts million of her Mejesty's subjects?.

And here, dearly beloved,- we cannot but ho struck
with the resemblance between these dealings towards
ourselves and those of a certain ancient adinieisiration.
amongst whom there were found temporal and spiritual
rulers combining together against our blessed Redeemer.
They insisted that He was a King, and that He inter-
fered with concerns of Sta'e; and in vain did ocr Lord
reply that His kingdom " was not of this world." They
insisted that He had confused His spiritual with their
temporal power, and on this plea they crucified Him. lie
sent forth His disciples two and two into all the country.
He taught the multitudes; and these men said, " If we
let Him alone so, the Romans will come, and will take
away our place and untie ;" and, therefore, !hey cruci-
fied the Son of God. The Apostles divided the whole
earth amongst them; and what permission from its
rulers did they feel to be needed? Without asking con-
sent of Caesar, did St. Peter fix his chair in Rouse. Iler
statesmen could not make St. Peter different from what
ho was. Ha himself could not cease to be whet he was,
and so they crucified him, as they had done his Master.
And what we..; the crime of St. Peter? Only, that
he had become Bishop of Rome without leave ob-
tained of the Government. So our Henry 11. could not
make St. Thomas of Canterbury other than what be
was. He could not unmake an archbishop; all he entikl
do was, to add to his mitre the crown of martyrdom.
And out of all these persecutione what came there forth
but the victory of God and the spread of the faith? A
victory of another kiud may be pointed to in the history
of religion; but the cases are no longer the same. The
true key to the victories over the Church at the, Re-
formation is her temporal possessions. These are vole
from us; and in this fact lies our strength, if the grace
of God be added to our poverty. For, like St. Paul's sue•
easeful combatant, we are " despoiled of all;" our eaec-
tions are not of this world, and our force is aholly
spiritual. And, except through some great canonic)!
cause, we, /yen we, unworthy as we are of so holy •and
elevated a place, can never cease to be what God and
his Vicar huth made us—the first bishop of our see.
Persecution, were it even attempted in more direct ways
—by violent acts following upon violent words—would
only consolidate and more firmly establish, as al! history
proves, the foundation of our chair and that of our sue..
coesers. The rain may fall, the floods come, and the
winds blow, and beat against iti)but it cannot fall, " be-
_cause -it is built upon a reek."
