ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING,

It mr y be desirable to observe that, since all doubt and uncer-
tainty has disappeared, and Mr. R.'s public commentary of last
Year bas been fully confirmed, viz.

`• THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED
ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY,"

11* may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the
early attention of the great capitalists to a more secure and
less doubtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the
great point at issue has arrived at a great and triumphant result. It
Is at length discovered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which
required the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect,
possessed by our first Minister, in organising his salutary alters-
ikru.in the corn-laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and im-
Pastial justice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural
interest. There is nothing invidious—he has laboured, and sue..
cessfully, to put at rest a very difficult point fairly and honestly,
bis declaration is too unequivocal to be disregarded, and it should
no longer be a matter of doubt to Trustees who have money
to invest, and most especially all such as hold Three per Cents.,
(in fear and trembling, at the unhealthy price of 98), that terra
Erma, so unnaturally depressed of late years, will combine two

come, and a prospective view (whenever the cause which must re_
duce the public funds to such a fearful extent) of an increase
la the exact same proportion in the value of land.
These remarks have for many years operated powerfully on the
Lind of Mr. Robins, and the cheering declaration of Sir Robert
Peel, has triumphantly established the bases upon which he
confidently submits, to an impartial public, the opinion he has so
long maintained.

As it is intended to give a more comprehensive review of this eli-

eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my
chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able
to lie down for nine months ; having had the advice of several
'medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a
nieng to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent
tedicines, I thought I might as well threw my money away. I
began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away
With a violent pain in my head ; at last my friend got me a box
from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being
so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I
bad taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another,
and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and
.hall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful.

the following Report for the year ending the 30th of December, 1843,
was read by the Secretary :
W. HAWES, Esq., in the Chair.
REPORT.
Your Directors have much satisfaction in calling the attention of
the Proprietors to the half-ye:4l4y
balance sheet of the Company, by
which it will be seen its business is steadily improving, and that,
after deducting all the current expenses of the head office and
branches, and interest on current. and deposit aceounts, rebate on
bills not due, allowance for Intl and doubtful debts, &c., there re-
mains a balance of 3,8471. 14s. at the disposal of the Shareholders.
Your Directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum for the half-year, which, if approved by the Proprietors,
leaves 805'. 1 Is. 6d. for the Guarantee Fund.
Your Directors can continue to report most favourably of the
working of the branches. They believe the monetary wants of the
localities in which they are situated are fully • provided for, without
auy stimulus being given by the issue of local notes.
Your Directors cannot make any definite report at present on the
pending law proceedings, arising vtit of the affairs of Messrs. Coils
and CO.; but, Acting Utterer the-best legal advice, and devoting to
them their best attention, they believe the statements made to the
last meeting will be supported by the result.
As soon as it is in their power to aftbrd an exact acesunt of these
transactions, a detailed statement will be submitted to the Proprietors.
The Proprietors will not fail to observe that, although the times
have been most unfavourable for banking profits, the Guarantee
Fund is increasing.
The three members of the Board who retire from the Direction on
the present occasion are—John Cuthbert Joyner, Esq., Swynfen
Jervis, Esq., and Win. Cory, Esq., all of wheel are eligible for re-
election, and offer themselves accordingly.

REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the EIGHTH ANNUAL
MEETING of the MEMBERS, held at the Office on the
15th of December, 1843.
CHARLES LUSHINGTON, Esq., in the Chair.

It is with feelings of no ordinary gratification that the Di-
rectors render to the Members of the NATIONAL PROVI-
DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report,
of its proceedings.
Each periodical review of the progress of the Institution has
afforded abundant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the
statement which the Directors are enabled to publish on the
present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san-
guine expectations.
Before proceeding to a summary of the business of the year
just terminated, the Directors would advert to the notice con-
tained in their last Report, that in accordance with the 28th
Rule, the accounts of the Institution were then under the inves-
tigation of an eminent Actuary, for the purpose of making a
careful valuation of its existing liabilities and assets, in order to
declare a dividend out of the surplus which might from such
valuation appear to exist. That investigation was completed
in January last (by Charles Ansell, E,q., F. R. S., the Actu-
ary referred to), and the Directors have now to congratulate
the Members of the Institution on the great success which
has attended its operations, by effecting a large reduction in
the " premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large
additions to the sums assured on Life Policies • notwithstand-
ing ONE FIFTH of the actual profits declared to be divisible
among the Members has been reserved, and a reduction equal to
45 per cent. from the premiums of those Members who have
been assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages,
has been secured to them.
The number of Policies issued during the past year has been
703, nearly all of which are of that Class securing a sum of
money payable at death. The number of proposals declined
during the same period is 81.
The annual income of the Institution, which was last year
reported as being 39,3601. 9s. 7d., would have been increased
to the relatively larger sum of 47,934/. 4s. 3d. ; but of this
amount, 3,714/. 7s. 3d. has been allowed or deducted from
the annual premium of those Members who have elected to
have their premiums reduced in lieu of the Bonus added to their
policies.
The Accounts have been duly audited to the 20th November
ast, at which date the Capital Stock of the Institution was
167,079/. lls. 2d., being an increase of 27,273/. 9s. 7d. on
the sum reported last year, and which amount is invested with
the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and
in Real Securities, conformably to the Acts of Parliament and
the Rules of the Institution.
The claims during the past year on the lives of deceased
Members amount to 7,600/., whieh sum has been paid, together
with the Bonuses accrued thereon.
The Directors have also to inform the Members, that in ac-
cordance with the notice given in the last Report, the business
of the Institution was removed to their Freehold premisesin the
spring of this year; of the eligibility of the situation and the
superior facilities the premises afford fur carrying on its busi-
ness they have already had satisfactory proof. That portion of
the building not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re-
spectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to
the Institution at an extremely moderate sum.
From the preceding statements it will be observed that the
amount of business has been very much increased during the
past year ; an increase that may chiefly be attributed to the
advantages secured to this Institution, by being enrolled under
the Acts of Parliament relatingto FRIENDLY SOCIETIES,
as also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to
effect Assurances in an Office where the surplus profit is di-
vided, not among Shareholders, but among the ASSURERS
THEMSELVES.
To the PRINCIPLE of MUTUAL ASSURANCE, as
carried out by this Institution, the Directors earnestly invite
the attention of the Members and the public at large, as also
to investigate for themselves the relative claims for preference
of the various Life Offices, and they rest confident that none
will be found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly
ay claim to a larger share of public confidence.
The following statement shows the progress of the Insti-
tution from the commencement :

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
POPULAR LECTURES daily, abounding in BEAUTIFUL
EXPERIMENTS. With the vieW to amuse the Visitors, as well at

constitution

it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims
arise ; and tiff this purpose the Company have, by a claim in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questiotis which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS TUB ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The
Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.

now opened, where the various kinds applicable to the patent may
be obtained. Also, wholesale and for exportation—Hair Brushes,
for their penetrating properties and pleasing action, which are highly
recommended, and allowed to be a decided improvement—Clothes
Brushes, for their flexibility and conformity to the shape in their use,
as well as preserving the nap of the finest cloth—Horse Brushes
(truly the groom's friend); this brush stands unrivalled, it is diffi-
cult adequately to describe thus advantages obtained by its flexibility
when in use. The Flesh, Shoe, Stove, and other Brushes, possess
great advantages over the oidinary stiff backs, for it will be found
that all brushes hitherto made wear out at the extremities, leaving
little of the middle worn, whereas the PATENT FLEXIBLE-BACK
BRUSHES wear alike throughout.
