• "s 1 r., arWittirD 0113ildiq in the Chair,
It was resolved unanimously,
That accounts for the past year, with the report, be
printed, and presented to the trustees and subscribers as
early as possible. ~
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to R. B. B.
H. Blundell, Esq.,-for accepting the office of President for
the past year, and for his donation of one hundred guineas.
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to Mr. C.
W. Reade, the Treasurer, for the constant attention to the
duties of his office during the past year.
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Phy-
sicians and Surgeons of the Infirmary, Asylum, and Lock
Hospital, for the. zealous discharge of their duties during the
past year.
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to Dr. Brand-
reth, Consulting Physician ; Mr. Richard Forshaw and Mr.
James Dawson, the Consulting Surgeons, for their services
during the past year.
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Rev.
Robert Davies, A.M., Chaplain, for the zealous discharge of
his important duties during the past year.
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Clergy-
men of the Established Church, and to the Dissenting Mi-
nisters, who have advocated the cause of this Institution
during the past year.
That the Medical Officers of the Infirmary, Lunatic
Asylum, and Lock Hospital, be re-appointed.
That John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., be the President
for the present year.
That Mr. Charles William Reade be the Trepurer for the
present year.
That. Mr. Edward Gibbon, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, Mr.
Richard Moon, Mr. Robert Dirom, Henry Lawrence, Esq.,
who retire by rotation, be re-elected members of the Com-
mittee.
That Mr. John Cropper, Major Aaford, Mr. Harmood
Banner, be elected members of the Committee.
The Trustees observe with great regret that the permanent
income of this Institution is found inadequate to maintain
the beneficent objects of the Charity, the expenditure of the
last year having exceeded the income by the sum of £l6OO,
without any material increase to the regular annual expendi-
ture. The Trustees hope that the public will come forward
liberally and offer their Donations and Subscriptions to rescue
so noble a Charity from its pecuniary difficulties, and enable
it to continue its extensive usefulness.
EDWARD GIBBON, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the chair,

Resolved unanimously,
That the thanks of this meeting be presented to him for
his conduct in the chair, and for his continued exertions in
behalf of this Institution during the past year.

SUPERIOR FACILITIES afforded by the UNITED
KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8,
Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, and 2, Charlotte Row, Mansion
House, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only
requires, when the insurance is for the whole period of life,
one-half of the very moderate premiums to h 'paid for the
e
first live years after the date of the poliz the other half
may remain, subject to the payment of int st eat 5 per cent.
annually, to be deducted at death, or matte previously paid
off at convenience. . .
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time, after effecting the insur-
ance, succeed to, or acquire a fortune, he may relinquish his
policy, having only paid one-half the premiums for the first
five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
£2B 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full
premium, £57 12s. 6d. Yearly, secure to his widow and chil-
dren, at his death, payment of no less than £3OOO, subject
only to the deduction of £144 Is. 3d., being the amount of
premium unpaid.
This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afford-
ed, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not pos-
sessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to
insure his life for a. sum which may yield a comfortable pro-
vision for his family.

MILK PUNCH
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND' THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this

that this ELIXIR /

from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,

LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
