CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC,

As Mr. Levi has been informed by several of his Patients that
a person has been calling on several houses in Liverpool, and
representing himself to some as Mr. Levi, and to others that
he was sent by him, Mr. Levi thinks it but justice to the
public, io acquaint them that he has no connexion with any
such pretenders, nor does he attend out of his residence,
(except by particular desire,) neither will he-be responsible
for any accident that is likely to occur,lrcemploying such em-
pinks. Mr. L. begs partieularly,ti direct the attention of
those who may be troubled with,Corns, Bunions, &c., to a pa-
ragraph which appeared intke" LONDON MORNING POST,"
of November the 13th, wkere will be seen the dangerous re-
sults that may occur from unskilful treatment.

and No. 3, CONDUIT-STREET, REGENT-STREET, LON-
DON, hat the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and
Inhabitants of Liverpool and its Environs, his FOURTH AN-
NUAL PROFESSIONAL VISIT to this town; and, owing to
his numerous engagements in London and Paris, his present
stay will be necessarily short; an immediate application will
therefore be desirable.

thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced
during his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that
-...scuients at his ..tablsbnnents London and
Paris will preclude use possibility os his revisiting . this town
for a very long period, so that those who may require his pro-
fessional services should not lose the present favourable op-s
pornity.

time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi-
dence,

LIFE INSURANCE ANNUAL REPORT.

SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION

The TENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the
CONTRIBUTORS was held, in the Waterloo Rooms, Edin-
burgh, on WEDNESDAY, the 16th February current. ROBT.
SCLATER, Esq., in the Chair. ,it
The CHAIRMAN said,—l think it due to myself to state that
I have been called upon to fill the office of Chairman, not from
any qualifications which I possess, but upon the simple ground
that I happen -to be the Senior Director. I must, therefore,
crave your indulgence for the very imperfect manner in which
I discharge the duties that devolve time. You have been
called together for the purpose of ceiving from the Directors
the Report of their proceedin ming the past year. It has
been the privilege of the di erent gentlemen who have filled
the chair which I now oefupy, to congratulate you on the in-
creasing prosperity o Tie Institution; a privilege which I am
glad to say still re ns to me. • You will hear from the Report
that we have do a larger amount of business than has ever
been done in a y former year of the Society's existence ; and
it must be gratifying to us to know that the number of Policies
opened from the commencement exceeds that of any other
Office in Scotland at the same period of its history. It is with
no purpose of drawing an invidious comparison between our-
selves and kindred Societies that I make this remark. I men-
tion it simply as a fact, which, while it is calculated to give us
encouragement, must also be gratifying to us as members of
society in general inasmuch as it shows that the value of Life
Assurance is becoming more widely appreciated. Owing to
the extent of disease which has prevailed during the last year,
the Members will naturally expect that a greater amount of
mortality has taken place among ourselves. While such is the
case, we have cause for congratulation that the deaths, though
exceeding the number in former years, have not, even in the
past year, reached the number exhibited in the Tables of the
Society ; and I may remind you of the fact, that up to the
period of investigation two years since, the deaths did not
greatly exceed one.half of the calculated amount. (Applause.)
You will have observed by the notice calling the meeting, that
steps have been taken to secure an Act of Parliament, confer-
ring the benefits and privileges of Incorporation. This will be
fully explained to you. I may state, however, that it makes no
material -change in the Deed of Constitution. It only alters
some matters of minor detail, and makes such provisions as
are rendered necessary. by the extension of our business in
England. It only remains for me to notice, that the greatest
harmony has existed among the Directors of the Institution,
during the past year, as during all of that time I do not think
we have been called upon to a single vote. Whatever,
therefore. comes t forward with
our unanimous consent. (Applause.)
Mr. DONALD SMITH PEDDLE, Convener of the Committee,
brought up the Report of the Directors. After noticing some
of the points already referred to by the Chairman, he said :
As one of the Directors who retire at this time, I may be per-
mitted to compare the state of the Society, in one or two par-
ticulars, at the end of this, its tenth year, as compared with its
position at the end of the fifth year, when I entered office. At
the end of the first five years. the policies opened amounted to
1200 ; while at the end of the second five years they numbered
about 3000. The annual income from premiums, at the eud of
the fifth year, was €13,150 ; and at the end of the tenth year,
€31,344. The accumulated fund at the end of the fifth year
was under €28,000 ; whereas it is now not much short of
£lOOOO. (Applause.) I submit that nothing could be more
satisfactory than these results, After what has been said by
the chairman, I need only shortly notice the amount of the
claims that have emerged. Considering the almost unprece-
dentedly high mortality of the city during the last two years,
it must be gratifying to know that, even in the past year, the
number of deaths is below the calculations of the Society; and
that, although the amount of claims emerging is greater than
has occurred in any previous year, yet the amount is very little
indeed above last year, after the annuities which have fallen in
have been deducted. He then called on the Manager to read
the Report, which is as follows :
