THIS Society is founded on the principles of Mutual
JL Guarantee. The rates of premium are considerably be-
low those of most other offices, besides which the members
enjoy the benefit of periodical additions to the sums insured,
which have already amounted to £145,798 ; and from a re-
cent valuation of the Society's liabilities, it has been found,
that since the year 1836 profits have accrued at the rate of
£25,000 per annum, thereby affording the means for an early
further addition to the policies of the insured, and establish-
ing the fact, that the present state of the Society is that of a
sound and prosperous concern.
At the General Meeting of the Members held on the 28th
of January, it was ordered, that a Bonus be declared as soon
as the requisite calculations can be made, which is not ex-
pected to be later than the month of June next.

In the course cf the past year 419 new policies have been
issued, a ratio of new business equal to that of most Life
Offices.

Agents are established in all the principal Towns of the
Kingdom. _ _

NORWICH UNION LIFE INSURANCE SOCIETY,
ESTABLISHED HOS.

A T a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the
Members of this Society, held at the Assembly-rooms,
in Norwich, on Friday, the 28th January, pursuant to adver-
tisements in the London, Norwich, and other Provincial
Papers,_

Lieut.-Colonel JOHN HARVEY, of Thorpe Lodge, Presi-
dent of the Society, in the Chair„4/
A Report of the Committee of Directors wa read, contain-
ing very ample details of the general state f the Society's
affairs, and proving its present sound an rosperous condi-
tion, evinced by the fact of the steady lization of Profits
on the last five years, at the rate of abou £25,000 per annum,
and the ability of the Society now to make a Bonus. In re-
ference to the two proposed Codes of Bye Laws, the Report
observed, " that they were now before the Meeting, to be
" dealt with as the Members saw fit, and it only remained for
" the Directors to assure all who might be present, as also
" the Society at large, that however these Codes of Laws
" might be disposed of, the Members might rely on their
" continued and most zealous attention to the important du-
" ties devolving on them as Directors, appointed under the
" original Constitution of 1808."
It was then moved by PETER LE NEVE FOSTER, Esq.,
Barrister-at-law, London, seconded by the Rev. JOHN BAI-
LEY, Vicar of Stoke Holy Cross, Norfolk, and resolved—
" That the Report of the Directors, now read, be received
and adopted, and that the same be circulated in such manner
as they see fit."

It Was moved by EAGLE WILLET, Esq., of Norwich, se-
conded by Mr. WM. BUTCHER, of Norwich, and resolved—
" That as it appears by the Accounts produced to this
Meeting, that the Society possessed on the 30th of June, 1841,
a Surplus Fund of about £168,000, four-fifths of which
would probably exceed in reversion £220,000, it be referred
to the Directors, to have the requisite calculations made with
the least practicable delay, for the purpose of assigning a
Bonus upon Policies in existence at June 1841, and which
shall be existing at the time such Bonus is declared."

It was moves by JOHN SicirPEß7Esq.,oil4O;Wich, and
seconded by Capt. Girling, of Foulsham,
" That this Meeting desires to record its opinion of the
sound and prosperous state of this Society—its fullest confi-
dence in the high character and independence of the Direc-
tors, and its conviction of the zeal, ability, and integrity of
the present acting officers."

It. was moved by A. A. H. llncKwrrn, Esq., of Norwich,
and seconded by the Venerable ARCHDEACON BATHURST,
of North Creake, Norfolk, D. C. L.—
" That it be recommended to the Directors to hold an
Annual General Meeting of the Members of this Society in
the month of June, at which the Cash Accounts for the past
year may be exhibited, and the state and prospects of the
Society be considered, and that in all other respects this
meeting is of opinion that the existing deed of Settlement,
under which profits have accrued on the past history of this
Society, to the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds,
may be safely relied upon for the future good government of
the affairs of this important institution."

Signed,
JOHN HARVEY, Chairman.
Mr. RuonoEa JEnmy, Chairman of the Committee ap-
pointe4 for preparing new Bye-laws at the General Meeting
held on the ¢h of November, 1839, having laid on the table
the Code of I!ye-laws so prepared, and the said Code having
been read,

It was 'no:Ned by A. A. H. BECKWITH, Esq., and seconded
by ROGER KERRISON, Esq., and carried with only two dis-
sentient voices,

" That the Committee's Code of Bye-laws now produced
and read, having been printed and circulated, and every
Member having had an opportunity of knowing the purport
of such Code, it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the
same is not adapted to the constitution of the Society, and it
is therefore inexpedient that it should be adopted."
The PRESIDENT of the Society (LIEUT.-COL. HARVEY),
then announced that the Directors withdrew the Code of
Bye-laws which they had prepared, conceiving it to be the
most fit course, after the very unequivocal opinion of the
meeting.
It was moved by Mr. ARCHDEACON BATHURST, and car-
ried by acclamation, that the warmest thanks of the Mem-
bers now assembled be given to Lieut.-Colonel Harvey, for
the great firmness and ability he has this day displayed in
presiding over the present meeting.

TO THE FREE BURGESSES AND OTHER ELEC-
TORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEAIEN,
A FTER several years absence, passed abroad in the ser-
ri vice of my Country, I am again brought forward by a
Requisition from the Conservatives of Liverpool/ as a
CANDIDATE for the Representation of this Bprough in
Parliament.

I engage, at once, in the honourable ußdertpking to which
you have invited me, and devoutly do I hopeithat its results
may be such as to enable me to be usefukti those Interests,
local and general, which you have at stake, and which are so
intimately mixed up with those of the' Empire, of which
Liverpool forms so important an emporium.
I renew, at this juncture, with infinite satisfaction, the
engagements under which we, as a Party, and I as your Can-
didate, undertook to fight,- against fearful odds, the battle
of our Protestant Constitution in CHURCH AND STATE,
which the Conservatives of Liverpool have now carried to
so triumphant an issue, as well in Municipal as in Parlia-
mentary Representation.. I have ever watched with unceas-
ing interest the progress you were making towards this, and
I now congratulate you, and the Conservatives throughout
the Empire, to whom you have held out a noble example, in
having at length returned a House of Commons that gives
its Confidence to a Conservative Administration.

I need not, Gentlemen, I am persuaded, occupy your time
with fresh declarations of my principles. They have already
been fully and generally declared on two former occasions.
Upon a careful revision of these, and a all the questions
and interests to which they relate, and applied to present
circumstances, I find no expressions to regret, no opinions
to retract or modify. With reference to the most important
of the questions which occupy the public mind, viz.:—THE
CHURCH QUESTION, I would here repeat what I stated
in my former Address to this Constituency, that "I am an
unflinching supporter of the Established Church. I conceive
it to be the bulwark of genuine Christianity; whether within
the pale of its own Communion, or in the ample range of its
extensive Toleration, I will aid every :measure originating
with the friends of that Church, for the interests and per-
manency of our National and Orthodox Establishment." I
am a zealous advocate for the diffusion of Education. I
have been a promoter of it to the best of my power wher-
ever I have been. . I do not approve .of any system which is
unsustained by Moral and Religious• Principles. I think the
heart should be educated as well as the mind, and that no
system of Public Education•can be beneficial, either to In-
dividuals or to Nations, which is not based upon the blessed
pages of the Scriptures, the only rule of life.
With regard to the Commercial, Agricultural, and Tra-
ding Interests of the country, I shall continue to support
and advocate the protective principle, as that upon which
the welt-being, power, independence, and even the existence
of this great empire depend. But I have ever maintained
that the degrees of protection given by law to these interests
should from time to time be subjected to revision, modifica-
tion, and adjustment, according to the infinite variety of
circumstances and combinations which are continually taking
place in the complicated affairs, general interests, and ne-
cessities of the empire. _ _

Electors and Inhabitants of Liverpool, if sent to Parlia-
ment as your representative, I pledge.to you my best exer-
tions. I shall do all in my power to make up for the great
loss which the representation of Liverpool has sustained by
the elevation of the able and learned person, late your mem-
ber, to the Bench ; and I shall zealously co-operate with
and second the noble Lord, your other representative, in the
arduous duties to which he devotes himself with so much
zeal and ability.

The short period which will probably intervene before the
nomination, and the extent of this great constituency, may,
I fear, put it out of my power to pay my respects to you all
individually; but I shall industriously seek every opportu-
nity of affording you collectively, as well as individually,
whatever explanations you may require from me.

I have the honour to be
Gentlemen,
Your faithful, obedient servant,
HOWARD DOUGLAS
