CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanf.„
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This,is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1949, 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 52,9631.25. Bd.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums..
Since the c..mmencereent of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assuran-es were effected to the extent of 110,9721..125 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums- 3,732/. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9501. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. I Id.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
hot four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent 1.1 France, Monsieur
de I'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•
siderab'e 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 prospects.

CAUTION.—Many shopkeepers, when asked for
DR. LOCOCK'S FEMALE WAFERS,
attempt to sell "Pills" and other preparations under nearly
similar names instead—because they obtain a larger profit by the
sale of such counterfeits than can be obtained by vending the genuine
medicine. The public is therefore cautioned that the only genuine
has the words " Dr. Locick's Wafers" in white letters on a red
ground printed in the Government Stamp.
Dr. LOCOCK'S FEMALE WAFERS are the only medicine re-
commended to Ladies. They have an agreeable taste.
Price Is. 134 d., 2s. 9d., and I Is. per box.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH-EASTERN.—This company's line from Ash-
ford to Hastings and St. Leonard's, of 28 miles, com-
pleting the coast communication throughout Kent, is
now ready for opening, awl the necessary notices have
been given for its inspection by the Government
officer, who will go over it in a few days. It has been
eighteen months under construction, and has cost
about 560,0001., or at the rate of 20,0001. per mile for
the double line of way. The distance from Ashford
to Rye is about 16 miles, and the cost from Rye to St.
Leonard's has been 252,0001. Towards Lydham-hill
and Hastings the works have been of a heavy cha-
racter. To avoid deep cuttings Mr. Barlow, the en-
gineer, has lengthened the tunnels, of which there are
four, of a total length of 3,685 yards, the Ore tunnel
being 1,380 yards; Mount-pleasant, 220 yards ;
Hastings, 765 yards; St. Leonard's, 1,320 yards.
The opening of the line, together with that now nearly
finished, between Tunbridge-wells and Hastings,
which will complete the South-Eastern Railway aye-
tem, is looked forward to as an important step towards
closing the capital account of the company.
MAUYPORT AND CARLISLE.—Toe meeting called
to receive the report of the committee of investigation
on the affairs of this company has been postponed
until the middle of next month to give further time

for inquiry.
HEREFORD AND GLOUCESTER.—A numerous meet-
ing of merchants and others interested in the P sta-
bl i Ann en tof railway communication between Here-
ford and Gloucester, via Ro•,s, has just been held at
Hereford ; Mr. Prosser, M.P., in the chair. A letter
was read from Mr. Saunders, the secretary of the
Great Western Railway, stating that the subject was
one of great interest to the company. It was stated
as the result of an interview with Mr. Brunel that a
single line from Hereford to Gloucesterwould cost
250,0001.; that 100.000/. could be raised from the
contractors, 50,0001. by debentures, and 100,0001. in
shares. It was resolved, on the motion of the Hon.
A. Clive, that the Great Western Railway directors
be informed that a requisition for establishing a com-
pany and carrying out the railway had been pre-
sented to the High Sheriff by:the principal landowners
and capitalists of Hereford, and that the directors of
the Great Western be requested to state whether they
are willing to cede all their rights and interests in the
line to such company, and to give it any and what
pecuniary assistance, and that a simil-r communica-
tion be made to the directors of the Gloucester and
Forest of Dean Railway.
