MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —Will you permit me to draw attention to the misleading nature of a paragraph in this morning's Herald. The writer, who surely cannot have been at the meeting him self, states that the "meeting declared the laws of the Institute a nullity," and it turned president, vice-president, treasurer, and auditors out of office. The only resolution which by any stretch of fair reasoning annulled any rule was that by which the meeting affirmed that an election of fresh officers should take place by the use of different formalities than those hitherto prescribed, " anything in the rules (bearing upon the question) notwithstanding." This of course necessarily involved the pro forma retirement of the old committee, and by no means implied an offensive " turning out" of that committee. I should recommend the writer when next he tries his hand at report ing to refrain from endeavouring to create a false impression by the process known as garbling.—Yours, &c, Teuth.

RESOURCES. Irrespective of the immense annual revenue of this Society, gradually and surely on the increase, it pos sesses a Reserve Fund of £2,800,000 and upwards, available for- its requirements. RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Actuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, thel Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; ana although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receivo it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assurecl and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to^be secure against, all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security of same, FOREIGN TRAVEL . Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. In this office it is anticipated that persons entering at 20 will be relieved from further premiums at 44 40 „ „ .. f.
