      The 50 th Annual Qeneral Meeting of this Institution was held at their rooms , 56 Old

      Bailey , on Thursday evening , March 10 , Mr . Chas . James Longman presiding . The chairmanin an able speechcongratulated

      the members , on the satisfactory X . . _ , position Cf held by the society --- % / , and he trusted for further - ¦ +. ¦ _

      success . Financially , it was very strong , and in comparison ^^^_ - ^^^ - ^ mm w ^ m ^^^ _^ _ ¦ - ^ ¦ — -- - — - ^— — - — w -- ith kindre - — d institutions — — — — — — — — — — ¦ — - — — - — ( ^» many - - m

      of whom have ceased to exist ) it was in the first rank . This great success he attributed to the

      sound judgment and tact displayed by the original founders in placing the Society on so

      sure and solid PH pfe PJP * a basis mM A , and to - the P * energy of the ^ my p ^™^^ ^^ m * directorat - ^^ - ™»—* ™ - - ^ pp- - ^ - ' — — — — — — e — , j - whose — - — — — increasing — —— — — —— — - ° — - r ^^^^_ care __ - _ — had _ .. __ .

      placed it at the present time in the foremost position of Provident Institutions . Since

      the foundation he was pleased to state that no less PP > v a w ¦ sum h - ¦ — 1— than _ .. — ^ --. ^ 50 _ -9 449 - — . . — had ____ been ^ — _ — . _ .. distributed _ _ -, _ ^_ -. _ ^^^^ " pr ^^ ^ ,

      capital of £ 30 , 000 . Such a long career of usefulness could not fail to impress the trade

      generally with the integrity of the officers in the conduct of the affairs of the Institution . He

      regretted , however , so few had joined during \ t the past npv -v ^ pr yearbut hoped for better in the
