ATHE NAEUM LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY . TheFIEST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of SHAREHOLDERS , held at the Office , 30 , Sackville Street , London , on Tuesday , 31 sfc 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 ; arid others were in course of formation . Ag ' encies 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' Athenaeum Institute , which 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 Athenaeum 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 financial statement of the present year . That the features peculiar to the Athenfeum , 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 , and the Officers , to place them effectually 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 £ 2585 ; 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 Y . Ashton , Esq . —That the Directors , the Rev . J . Bartlett , M . A ., John Baldwin Buckstone , Esq ., and Henry Harriss , Esq ., retiring by rotation , be re-elected . Resolution 3 . —Proposed by Henry Harriss , Esq ., seconded b } ' 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 be 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 . BARTLETT , Chairman . HENRY SUTTON , Manager .

" Tho Westminster Review , which has failed under so many managements , under its new management promises to be no failure at all . Good healthy blood stirs in it , and wo have little doubt that it will not only win i < 8 way to as high a point in public estimation as it held in its host days , but that moro practical results will follow , and it will be found to sell . With equal ability , wo observe a larger and more catholic spirit . In tho present number there are several good subjects soundly and admirably treated , and there is a delightful article on ' England ' s Forgotten Worthies , ' especially to bo named with pleasure . The notion of treating quarterly in four final articles the general contemporary literature of England , America , Germany , and France , is very good ; tho articles are well done , and they place the reader of tho Review in possession of a kind of information which he wants about tho literature of the day . Let us hope , then , that our old friend tho Westminster , brought as it , now is into complete harmony with tho spirit of tho lime , and having its pages furnished by thinking men as well an able writers , will take gradually a sure hold of the public ) , mid will be hoitahl by those who heretofore have been satisfied to read it as it ciimo to them borrowed from tho circulating library . Wo wish its now conductors all success . They aro in the right way to obtain it . "—Examiner , July 24 th . " The new Westminster Review is a brilliant and thoughtful one . "—Jicader , July 10 th .

" -IlrUish Mercury . " This organ of free inquiry and liberal politics proceeds vigorously in tho hands of Mr . " Chapman . The entire contents ol the number are rich ami varied . "—Bradford Observer . " This new number is as attractive for the variety of its aoticlcs , and tint foreo and brilliancy which generally characterize them , as for tho value of the solid thoughts and pregnant , suggestions which they contain . Fine writing too often ol itself siiHtnins t . ho reputation of our quarterlies ; lino and < loe ]> thinking is less cared for ; but , in the union of these two seldom united qualities the Westminster may bo fairly said to bo at , present pre-eminent .
