approve of the alterations on the Deed of Constitution and
Laws and Regulations submitted by the Directors, and adopt
the Laws and Regulations so altered as the Laws and Regula-
lationa of tae Corporation of the Scottish Provident Instittt-
tinn."

WILLIAM J. DUNCAN, -
Scotland, seconded the Motion.
The Motion having been put, and reference made to that
part of Art. 7 of the Laws as proposed to be amended, which
provides for forfeiture in case a member, "being of sane mind,
shall commit suicide," it was suggested that, as it seemed to
be considered very doubtful whether a person who did commit
suicide could be, or would be held by a jury to be, of sound
mind, it would be better to avoid any ground for question by
doing away with the forfeiture altogether.
The CHAIRMAN said that the clause, as put by the Commit-
tee who had prepared the amendments, stood originally thus—
"or shall, within six months from the date of the Policy., corn.
mit suicide." This form met the views of a great majority of
the Directors, but it had been altered as it now stood to secure

, do Ll'Cie seemen reany to ne little practical differ-
ence between the two. The Meeting unanimously adopted
this suggestion, and resolved that the rule should stand thus
—" or shall, within six months from the date of the Policy,
commit suicide."
The amended Laws and Regulations, as reported on, were
then read seriatim, and approved of, and Mr. Chambers'
motion adopted unanimously.
The Lord PROVOST then proposed a vote of thanks to the
Directors for their arduous and most successful labours during
the past year, which was seconded by JAMES PEDDLE, Esq.,
W.S., and carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was, in like manner, given to the Board of
Directors, and to the Board at Manchester; to the Auditors
and Trustees; and the Manager, Medical Officers, and other
Office-bearers of the Society.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT
EVER INVENTED.
CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other
Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal
Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies, &c., is particularly
recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manu-
facturers, West India Proprietors, and others, it having been
proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass
all other paints as an out-door preservative. - It is extensively
used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-
buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park paling,
gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slat-
ing. The superiority of the Atti-Corrosion to every other paint
for out-door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple
fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by
Color Manufacturers, Painters, Oil and Colormen, and others
interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very econo-
mical, any labourer being able to lay it on.
Colors (in powder): White stone, light stone, drab or Port-
land stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and
dark oak, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright
and dark red, black, and brown, 345. per cwt. • invisible green,
505., bright green, 605., deep green, 605., and blue, 60s. per cwt. ;
in casks, 281 b., 561 b., and 1121 h. each. Oil and Brushes.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
WALTER CARSON, (Successor to the Inventors,) 15, TOKEN
iIOUSE YARD, (back of the Bank of England,) LONDON, who
will show between 400 and 500 Testimonials received from the
Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy, whotave used the Anti-Corrosion
for many years at their country seats.
A Copy of the Testimonials will be sent on application.
No Agents.—All orders are particularly requested to be sent
direct.

men and stirring events of ancient times—and the ardent
