REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the EIGHTH ANNUAL
MEETING of the MEMBERS, held at the Office on the
lath of December 18.43.
CHARLES CUSIIINGTON, Esq., in the Chair. lt is with feelings of no orditilry gratification that the Di-
rectors render to the Members of the NATION AI. PROVI-
DENT
INSTITUTION this, their Eighth ,s.nnual Report,
faits proceedings.
Each periodical review of the ; rogress of tha Institution has
afforded abundant evidence of its growing presperit y, whilst the
statement which the Director, are enabled to publish on the
Present occasion, exhibits a result tar exceeding their must sail-
Refuse
guine expectations.
proceeding to a summary of the business of the year
Just terminated, the Directors IA mild advert to the notice cod-
tained in their last Report, that in accordance with the 28th
Rule, the accountsof the his. itutiun were then under the inves-
tigntion of an eminent Actuary, for the purpose of making a
easeful valuation of its existing liabilities an.l as,ets, in order to
deckre a dividend out of the surplus which might from such
valtiatinn appear to exist. That investigation was completed
in January last (by
bey Charles Ansell, E•q., F. R. S., the Actu-
referred to ), and the Direct h
ors ave now to congratulate
L Members of the Institution on the great success which
the attended its operations, by effecting a large reduction in
Premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large
additions to the sums assured on Life olicies ; notwithstands Ing ONE FIFTH of the actual profits' declared to be divisible
among the Members has been reserved, and a reduction equal to
per cent. from the premiums of those
Alemliers who have
men assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages,
has been secured to them.
.„Tbe number of Policies issued during the past year has been

hey have already had satisf,,ctory proof. That porti,sn of
tng not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re-
stpectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to
lae_lnstitution at an extremely moderate sum.
Frorn the preceding statements it will be observed that the
!amount of business has been very much increased during the
st year ; an increase that ma chiefly be attributed to the
advantages secured to this Institution, by being enrolled under
the Acts of Parliament relating to FRIENDLY SOCIETIES,
s also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to
erect 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
cache arried out by this Institution, the I)ireetora earnestly invite
t out
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
a '"ill be found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly
Y claim tcsa larger share of public confidence.

HOOD'S GA z f NE AND
COMICAI MISCELLANY. A Y
Whatever may be thought of Dr. Dickson's theory, that the
type of Disease in • general is periodical, there can be no doubt
nf its applicab lity to Modern Literature, which is essentially
Periodical, whether the type be long primer, brevier, or bour-
geois. It appears, moreover, by the rapid consumption of
Monthlies, compared with the decline of the Annuals, that fre-
quent tits of publication are more prevalent and popular than
yearly par...rums.
Under these circumstances, no apology is necessary for the
present undertaking; but Custom, which exacts an Overture
to a new Opera. and a Prologue to a new Play, requires a few
words of larrod-lction to a new Monthly Magazine.
Oi! Z Prominent object, then, of the projected publication, as
implied by• the sub. title of " Comic Miscellany," will be the
supply of harmless " Mirth for the Million," and light thoughts,
to a Public sorely oppressed—if its word be worth a rush, or
its complaints of an ounce weight—by hard times, heavy taxes,
and those " easing cares" which attend on the securing of food
for the day, as well as a provision for the future. For the relief
of such afflicted classes, the Editor, assisted by able Humourists,
will dispense a series of papers and woodcuts, which it is hoped
will cheer the gloom of Willow Walk, and the• loneliness of
%S'llderness Row—sweeten the bitterness of Camomile Street,
and Wormwood Street—smooth the ruffled temper of Cress
Street, and enable even Crooked Lane to unbend itself. It is
hardly necessary to promise that this end will be pursued with •
out raising a Maiden Blush, much less a Dama-k, in the nur •
sery grounds of modesty—or trespassing, by wanton person.

Number.

As to Politics, the reader of HOOD'S MAGAZINE will
vainly search in its pages for a Panacea for Agricultural Dis-
h ess, or a Grand Catholicon for Irish Agitation ; he will use-
lessly seek to know whether we ought to depend for our bread
on foreign farmers, or merely on foreign sea-fowl ; or if the
Repeal of the Uniqin would produce low rents, and only three
quarter days. Neither must he hope t o learn the proper Ter-
minus of Reform, nor,' even whether a Finality Man means
Campbell's Last Man, or an Undertakene
A total abstinence from such stimulating topics and fer-
mented questi no is, indeed, insured by the established charac-
ter of the Editor, and his notorious aversion to party spirit. To
borrow his own words, from a letter to the Proprietors—" I
am no politician, and far from instructed on those topics which,
to parody a common phrase, no gentleman's newspaper should
be without. Thus, for any knowledge of mine, the Irish Pro-
seeutions may be for pirating the Irish Melodies ; the Pennsyl-
vanians may have repudiated their wives; Duff Green may be
a place, like Goose Greer. ; Prince Polignac a dahlia or a car-
nation, and the Due de Bordeaux a tulip. The Spanish
affairs I could never master, even with a Pronouncing
Dictionary at my elbow ; it would puzzlo me to say
whether Queen Isabella's majority is or is not equal
to Sir Robert Peel's; or if the shelling the Barcelonese was
done with bombs and mortars, or the nutcrackers. Prim may
be a quaker, and the whole Civil War about the Seville
Oranges. Nay, even on domestic matters nearer home, my
profound political ignorance leaves me in doubt on questions
concerning which the newsmen's boys and printers' devils have
formed very decided opinions ; for example, whether the-Corn-
law League ought to extend beyond three miles from Mark-

lane —oi:the Sliding Scale should regulate the charges at the
Glaeiarium ; what share the Welch Whigs have had in the
Welch Riots, and how far the Ryots in India were excited by
tl:e slaughter of the Brahmin Bull. On all such public sub-
iects I am less au fait than that Publicist the Potboy, at the
house, with the insolvent sign, The Hog in the Pound."
Polemics will be excluded with the same rigour ; and eFpe-
Malty the Tractarian Schism. The reader of HOOD'S
\I GA ZINC must not hope, therefore, to be told whether an
old Protestant Church ought to be plastered with Roman
Cement ; or, if a design for a new one should be washed in
with Newman's colours. And most egregiously will he be dis-
appointed should he look for Controversial Theology in our
R et's Corner. He might as well expect to Fee Queens of
Shelia, and divided babies from wearing Solomon's Spectacles!
For the rest. a critical eye will be kept on our current Lire-

Fine Arts, feom whose Artesian Well there will be an occa-
