      Athenaeum Life Assurance Society. The Fi...

      _ATHENAEUM LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY . The FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of SHAREHOLDERS , held at the Office , 30 , SackviUe Street , London , on Tuesday , 31 st August , 1852 . The Report was made , in which it was stated that Branch Boards , consisting of Directors , influential in their various localities , had been formed at Manchester , Birmingham , Sheffield , Hull , and Isle of Man ; and others were in course of formation . Agencies of great respectability had also been formed in towns and places of importance ; and efficient measures are being taken to extend this system to all parts of the Kingdom . That an arrangement has also been made with an 'Institution of a kindred nature , entitled the _Athenseum Institutewhich

      , has already secured to itself very high patronage and influential support . By this junction of interests , that large and powerful class , the members of the Literary and Newspaper Press , will have a direct interest in supporting and promoting the _Athenseum Life Assurance Society , and it is only owing to the unavoidable delay occasioned by the arrangement of technical details , that several policies thus flowing into the Society do not appear in the _imaneialstatemeut of the present year . That the features peculiar to the Athenaeum , such as policies being made payable to holder , and other arrangements , had been found to be popular ; and every means had been taken by the Directors , ana the Officers , to place them _ejffectually before

      Assurers . It appeared by the balance sheet that the capital and deposits amounted to _£ 18 , 515 3 s . 2 d ., and the preliminary expenses to £ 2535 ; and that during this first year ( or rather nine months only of active operation ) 322 policies had been issued , yielding £ 4419 5 s . 2 d . in premiums , and the total number of proposals 413 . £ 5020 had been invested on unexceptionable securities , yielding excellent interest . The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted : — Resolution 1 . — Proposed by Alexander Richmond , Esq ., seconded by John King , Esq . —That the report now read be received and adopted .

      Resolution 2 . —Proposed by James Andrew Durham , Esq ., seconded by Alexander F . Ashton , Esq . —That the Directors , the Rev . J . Bartlett , M . A ., John Baldwin Buckston ' e , Esq ., and Henry Harriss , Esq ., retiring by rotation , be re-elected . Resolution 3 . —Proposed by Henry Harriss , Esq ., seconded by William L . Howard , Esq . —That a dividend at the rate of five pound per cent , per annum ( clear of income tax ) on the paid-up capital be declared , and that the directors be empowered to pay the same half-yearly between the intervals of the annual meetings . Resolution 4 . —Proposed by William Cribb , Esq ., seconded by Edward Brooks , Esq . — That James Andrew Durham , Esq ., and Charles Mitchell , Esq ., be re-elected auditors for the shareholders for the ensuing year . Resolution 5 . —Proposed by Alex . Richmond , Esq ., seconded by Charles Mitchell , Esq . —That the cordial thanks of this meeting bo given to the medical officers .

      Resolution 6 . —Proposed by F . G . Tomlins , Esq ., seconded by Michael Sola , Esq . —That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to Henry Sutton , Esq ., for his efficient and successful services . Thanks were afterwards tendered to the Chairman , Directors , and Auditors . J . _BaVRTLETT , Chairman . HENRY SUTTON , Manager .

Good healthy blood stirs in it , and we have iittlo doubt that it will not only win its way to as high a point in public estimation as it held in its best days , but that more practical results will follow , and it will bo found to sell . With equal ability , wo observe a larger and more catholic spirit . In the present number thero are several good subjects soundly and admirably treated , and thero is a delightful article on 'England ' s Forgotten Worthies , ' especially to be named with pleasure . The notion of treating quarterly in four final articles the general contemporary literature of England , America , Germany , and Franco , is very good ; tho articles are well done , and they place the reader of ( ho Review in possession of a kind of information which he wants about the literature of tho day . Let us hope , then , that our old friend the Westminster , brought as it now is into complete harmony with the spirit of tho time , and having its pages furnished by thinking men as well as able writers , will take gradually a sure hold of tho public , and will bo bought by thoso who heretofore have been satisfied to read it as it came to them borrowed from the circulating library . We wish its new conductors all success . Thoj' aro in the right way to obtain it . " —Examiner , July 21 th . " Tho new Westminster Review in a , brilliant and thoughtful one .

" This number , like its predecessors , is characterized b y enlarged thought , loftiness ol purpose , and a style of great lrcshnoss , brilliance , and vigour . ' —Sheffield Free Press . "The rentier who looks to the successive issues of the Westminster for a well-stored field of matter whence he may derive intellectual improvement , and gratification , will find his expectations fully answered in the current number , which is quite equal to its predecessors ol" the new series . " - —llritish Mercury . " This organ of free inquiry and liberal polities proceeds vigorously in the hands of Mr . Chapman . Tho entire contents of the number are rich and xnr ' ioil . " - _—Jtraifoi'tl Observer . " This new number is as attractive for the variety of its uoticlcs , and the force and brilliancy whieh generally characterize tbein , as for ( lie value of the solid thoughts and pregnant suggestions which they contain . Fine writing too often ol itself sustains Hie reputation of our quarterlies ; fine and deep _think-, ing is less cured for ; but in the union of these two seldom united qualities tho _IVentniinstcr may bo fairly said to be at . present pre-eminent .
