'THIS Society is founded on the equitable principle of mu-
tual guarantee. It consists of upwards of 7,500. mem-
bers. The rates of premium are considerably below those of
many other offices, besides which the ,Alembers enjoy the
benefit of periodical additions to the sums insured, which
have already amounted to £445,798.
The affairs of this Society have recently undergone a
strict investigation, the result proving that its Capital is
fully adequate to every subsisting engagement, and that the
office is in a sound and prosperous state.
The Directors have great pleasure in announcing to the
members that the revision of the Society's Deed of Settle-
ment is proceeding satisfactorily, and that, under the regula-
tions and management, to which the Directors stand pledged,
important additions may be confidently anticipated to the
sums assured at the periodical division in 1843, in which
additions persons who now take out policies will participate.
In the last year 508 new insurances were effected with the
Society, a number, probably equalled by few offices in the
kingdom.

The Directors meet weekly at the Office in Surrey-street,
Norwich, every Monday from 12 till 2 o'clock, before whom it
is required that persons proposing to Insure their lives re-
siding in this City and its neighbourhood appear, but In-
surances can also be effected with any of. the Society's
Agents, who are established in all the principal towns, in
England, Scotland, and Ireland.

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
_ . _

There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty.. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM

will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic'habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &C. But
the relief the ORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents
the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Baldi of Sy-
riac= will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising front bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS
to this INSTITUTION, held at the Saving's Bank,
Bold-street, on MONDAY, 6th January, 1840.
_ _ _ . .

The Rev. tEIOS. TATTERSHALL; 'D.D., in the Chair.
The following Report was read by the Provisional Se-
cretary :
The Provisional Committee of the Liverpool Collegiate
Institution, for the Education of the Commercial, Trading,
and Working Classes, which was appointed at a meeting held
at the Savings' Bank, on the 15th of October, 1839, hay-
now the satisfaction of laying before the subscribers a state-
ment of their proceedings since that period.
The resolution of the clergy with respect to the principles
upon which they could consistently join the proposed Insti-
tution having been unanimously adopted at a meeting already
mentioned, your committee issued a prospectus in strict con-
formity with the tenor of it. That prospectus has been widely
circulated through the town and neighbourhood of Liverpool,
for the purpose of obtaining subscriptions, and the list of do-
nations testifies how well the proposed design has been appre-
ciated, the sum subscribed up to this period being upwards
of £lO,OOO. So large an amount having been obtained under
existing circumstances of commercial pressure, affords the
strongest grounds of hope that the funds yet necessary for the
success of the undertaking will be provided, as the importance
of the Institution, and the urgency of its wants, become more
extensively known. _ _

Your Committee recommend that the privilege ofnominating
Students to the two contemplated Day Schools, shall be con-
ferred upon Donors in the manner following :—A Donor of
£250 to be entitledto one nomination in the first School du-
ring life ; a Donor of £5OO to two nominations in the First,
and one in the Second School during life ; a Donor of £750
to three nominations in the First School, two of which shall
einwhi perpetuity;
two shall be for life, and two in
and a Donor of £l,OOO to
perpetuity. Should the Donor prefer nominating to the
Second rather than to the First School, two nominations in
nd
the Second shall be deemed equivalent to one in the First.
fhoeu for
r nominations, life,a on
of A
Student so nominated to enjoy the same privilege of at-
tending Lectures, Evening Classes, &c., as may
be assigned
to Life Members. The Scholarships in perpetuity to be
called by the names of the founders.
Your Committee have entered • into preliminary negocia-
tions for a plot of land, as one of the sites which may be
deemed eligible for the intended buildings, and recommend
that their successors be empowered to make all needful ar-
rangements for the purchase of land; and to the completion
of the Institution.
Your Committee are deeply impressed with the supreme
importance of basing all intellectual education upon religious
principle, and of hallowing every prOcedure of the school by
associating it with the Word of God and Prayer. They are
also fully persuaded that such sacred influences will, under
the Divine blessing, be secured by a course of religious edu-
cation in strict accordance with the Articles, Homilies and
Liturgy, of the united Church of England and Ireland. On
this great principle they have proceeded, and every step of
their progresi has increased the persuasion in which their
