THE PHILOLOGICAL SCHOOL.
An examination of the pupils of this institution took
pia( e yesterday, at the Lecture Theatre of the Maryle-
boee Literary Institution, in Edward street, rummer,-
square, on which occasion the Lord Bishop of Man-
chester presided. As a general rule, such exhibitions
may be said to be conducive of pleasure to few, save
those more immediately concerned, viz., the parents and
friends of the young people. But there are circum-
stances in connexion with this school which entitle this
examination to a greater share of our sympathy. than it{
generally accorded to such scenes, and which we will
brifly enumerate. First, the of of this school is to
extend the benefit of a a, und, useful, and most liberal
e lucation to the suns of respectable parents, incapaci-
tated by un oreseen adversity from performing that duty,
or to those who labour under the double ptivation of
parents (of known resiectability) and fortune. Secondly,
as unpretending in its outward show as it is useful in its
operations, this school is well conducted by a body of
'governors, who, with the Utmost liberality, devote much
of their time, and not their time only, to the direction
of its affair:. Thirdly, because its hinds lot ing far from
adequate to the importance of the results aimed at, it
tits been found necessary, with a view to its support, to
admit a cet tain number of pupils, on payment of certain
tees per quarter, and thus, under the guidance of able
and talented masters, we find in it the singular anomaly
t f a very floured:deg school, if we take the, aggregate of
the boys, with the regret of finding that the subscrip-
tions which would enable the governors to enlarge .the
sphere of its primary and special usefulness, are rather
falling off than, as we should wish to see them,
on the increase: And yet we may venture
to assert that few inetitutions founded on
true benevolence have a greater claim on the affluent
than this. But we return to yesterday's examination.
Never since the day when the present Bishop of London
fulfilled the same duty, did we see the chair more appro-
priately filled. The boys were examined in the various
branches of instruction of the School, Divinity, Horace,
History of Greece, French, Mathematics, &c., and it
were a poor complement to their able and excellent
head master to say that their answers were generally
highly satisfactory ; wo would rather say that we hope
that he, and the o her masters felt, as every one else did,
that they had not laboured in vain. At the close of the
examination the Bishop delivered to the boys a most im-
pressive address, and proceeded to distribute the priies,
accompanying the presentation of t ach book with admi-
rable and most appropriate remarks. This interesting
ceremony over, Sir James J. Hamilton, in the name of
the meeting, thanked his Lordship (or his affability and
condescension, and the Bishop in return expressed him-
self highly gratified at all he had seen and heard.
Among the company present we noticed the Rev.
Robert Walpole, who kindly assumed the office of exa-
miner, , the Hon: Frederick Gough, Sir James J.
Hamilton, Sir Walter Stilling, the Treasurer, John
Turner, Esq., whose great libsrality end strenuous exer-
tions in favour of this school may entitle him to be re-
garded as the father of the institution, and several other
of the governors. Also, among the ladies, Lady Wen-
lock, &o. The following are the names of the pupils
who received prizes:-

INDISPUTABLE LIFE POLICY
COMPANY
The annual meeting of this company was held yes-
terday, at the London Tavern, Mr. Maddox in the chi*,
The usual formalities having been observed, the -ful-
lowing report was read, which says:—Since the annual
meeting in Jute, 1849, th. re have been received 452
proposals for the assurance of 185,2541. 19s. Of these
proposals, 404 have been accepted and completed, ea-
suring 120.5021. 155., and yielding in annual premitims
the sum of 4,529/. 16s. 4.1., making the total sum now
unc!er assurance by the company 193,573/. 165., and tho
annual revenue 7,439/. 12, 2•1. The directors ate also
enabled to congratulate the members on the small num-
ber of deaths which have cecurred, there having been
only three since the establishment of the company, the
alms upon which amount altogether to 1,7001, being
considerably I. ss thal one•half of the calculated expec-
tancy. The balunce-sheet to the 31st of December last
and a statement of the assets and liabilities of the com-
pany were presented to the meeting, from whit'h it ap-
pears that af.er providing I;,r the payMent e f the sums
assured arid outstanding debts, it.eluding the whole pre-
liminary expenses attending the formation of the com-
pany, there was at that period a balance of profit of
14,1781. 10s., exclusively the property of and divisible
amongst the members of the company, as directed by
the of constitution,
The CHAIRMAN introiueed the business of the meet-
ing by a tew observations on the encouraging condition
and prosperity of the society. Great economy had been
exercised in the management of the society. After
alluding to the establishment of the branch establish-
merit at Paddington, which he believed would be pro-
ductive, not only of great benefit to the locality, but
contribute largely to the profits of the society, the Chair-
man proceeded to :tato that the mortality in the lives
assured by the society was below the precedents of simi-
lar societies.—(llear.) The board, he was happy to
55y, was Untinitnuus in its operation; and the eonse-
(pence had been that they had advanced with a pros-
perity not inferior to the most favoured company. In
submitting the report, he should leave to some other
gentleman the duty of moving its adoption.
Mr. W. MooRE then moved, and Mr. BIRD seconded,
the motion for the adoption of the report, which ,Ydea'
carried unanimously. In the course of his remarks Mr.
Bird observed that the average receipts of some of the
largest companies of the kingdom were scarcely equal to,
and did not surpass, the amount received by the Indis-
putable Company in the first two years of its existence.
Lie observed that the average of the " Economic." for
instance, in its first five years. was 241 policies; the
" Mutual," in 14 years, was 87; and the most successful
of all, the " National Provident," had only 16 policies
more than the average of the Indisputable Company in
the second year of its existence. He believed the success
of the company was attributable to the principle of in-
disputability, the mutual principle being valuable only
by the seal cf indisputability being affixed to it.
After some few observatione, the report and accounts
were adopted, and, votes of thanks of a purely compli-
mentary character having been passed, the meeting se-
parated.
