You,williput such a jibe ,ate this into your. adversaries'

anything-o€ that sort—oh !: what a blessed' triumph we
shall, havoie the consistency of your principles, when we
can point, and say, " There is practical loyalty They
profess: loealty, profess. sympathy with, the members of
the Betablished Church, are known defenders of the
Peobestant religion ; and+ see there is a proof-of it. With
all party spirit, all earneness about- processions, and
feeling that there is reelaw against them, see they have
done,virolence to their-own, liberty; they have listened- to
the voice of their clergymen ; they hare allowed the
country to repose in. peace; they are strong in their
teanqaillity, and moo. to.be depended upen." Don't let
of the steam in .bustle, noise, sad pride of proces-
sion, but proceed ,calmkr and quietly en. possession of
serength to husband' that strength for a day of neces-
sity. Yon are a .rallying point for- the- country. Men
musk join such associations in times o 2 peril • and I verily
believe that if there be no processions ,of o;angemen this
year throughout the country, the Orange body will almost
double in number:;- I believe it will give such an impres-
sion of the depth, soundness, and steadiness of your cha-
racter as will cause many who approved, of your principles
but never joined you, to do so now, A glorious society it
is, my friends le-an organization which may be the life,
may be the preiervation, and the safety of England yet,—
for if our rulersecontinue so infatuated—if the majority of
our electorecontinue so infatuated as to send to parliament
now, and continue to send, men who will foster Romish
encroachments, you may depend, that fearful times will
follow, aul,we.sholl be glad to have a rallying point and.
know our friends when we meet--them.—The rev. lecturer
concluded, his powerful discourse by calling on his
loyal (Naito hearers, if it were a holiday, to spend. the
day of election with their wivesand families reading to them
from JEoglieh history the circumstances attendant on the
arrival,of, the Prince of Orange. He told them to.shun
the masses of the non-electors who would crewel the
streets=to, go early to the polling booth, and then back
to their homes. There would be crowds of ignorant men
drawn together, they knew not why, women, and children,
in thousands ; and every man who joined them, to gratify
his curiosity, would add ta,the danger and the 'mischief.

On the following morning (Friday) the Rev. Dr.
M'Neile held a prayer-meeting in the lecture-room,
Miles-street, Toxteth-park, which was very respectably
attended. The Diviaa blessing was imploredon the en-
suing election ; that there may be no personal injury sus-
tained by any one ; and that the event may. be over-ruled
for the good of the church, and the welfare and safety of
our Sovereign and her dominions.

THE ANCHOR ASSURANCE COMPANY.-At the recent
annual meeting of the shareholders of this company, a
very gratifying report was presented by the directors.
The rapid development of the principle of life insurance
has lately caused a perfect sea of " offices" all over the
kingdom k and it requires a sharp look out to avoid the
whirlpools its publing produces, and keep one's place in
the safe and certain channel of progress. The report
presented by the directors of the Anchor appears satisfac-
torily to show that they are pursuing the safe and steady
course. Although in its new guise this company dates
its existence from the close of the year 1849, yet it had an
antecedent life of seven years, having been incorporated
in 1842 ; and it was not until they ventured upon the
risk of fire insurance that it was deemed necessary to
enlarge the basis of the company. 1-Low rightly they
judge in taking that step let them speak for themselves :
" Although, upon the reconstruction of the company, it
might not have been unreasonable to expect that some
time should elapse before its more extended objects would
realise their expected results, the directors are happy to
be able to state that, since the business of fire insurance
has been actually commenced, a period little exceeding
eighteen months, 3,800 policies have been issued, insuring
sums amounting to nearly two and a quarter millions,
producing premiums to the amount of £7,109 • while a
