Mr Kenan then read and presented the following address irom the Christian Doctrine Society ■ -We, tbe members of the Llui-tian Doctrine Society of St. Patricks Cathedral, gladly avail ourselves of tho present opportunity to offer you our. most Bincere congratula ions on your safe and long wished for arrival, and to express our uumingled joy in accotding you a very cordial welcome to the city of Auckland, your appointed diocese, through the Holy will of God, and by the desire oi our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIU. AYe cannot refrain from expressing Ihe deep sense of gratification we feel, and what a toutce of self-Congratulation it affords to know that again we luve in our mid.t an Apostolic Hishop to direct and help us both by his wisdom and counsel. We need hardly assure your Lordship that vuur coming amongst us promises many blessings: for we know that your presence cannot fail to be beneficial to the test interests of the Catholic iuture in this dioc.se, and to ltad, we hope, to the under taking and completion of mauy goo.t works, through your efforts, for tbe advancement of our' Hoy Faith and the glcry of God Iv conclu.-ion, your Lordship, we a'.eo *ake this opportunity ot saying how much is due to the inc.ss.nt care and labour of our spiritual director, the Very ■ cv. Walter McDonald, Admiui.trator-of St. Patricks Cathedral, for tho success and signal pro grot s which have attended the humble efforts of this society, and to whose merit and worth we have much pleasure in testi fying. Bggiug your Lordship's blessing, and"sincci-ly praying that tbe Almighty God may bless your mission here and t-pare you for many years to labour for out spiritual and intellectual welfare, we remain your Lord hip's dutiful and devoted children in Christ, - Signed on behalf ol the members. MiciiAKLD. BEGAN, pre sident; THOMsS Cahill, secretary ; P, DigkAN, tieasurer. His Lordship replied : My dear childre. of the Society of Christian Doctrine,— Yours ia a society which I was not aware existed iv my diocese, and I need not saj that it is with a gteat feeling of satisfactioi that I I*. am of its existence. When said ihat I was not aware if its estab lislimeut here, I did not mean that _'. waa ignoraut of the tact until tbis moment, but only until this day, aud there fore I am within the limits of tmth wliei I say that I was not aware of that before Your society is one of the greatest utility if you wi.l but carry out the work you hav< undertaken in a spirit of pious zeal no tempered with a salubrious docility ant obedence to your spiritual guides, tin pastors of the Church. It you d< this I have no fear that your labours will b< 0 heiwisfi tha-i exceedingly great—tha they will ble sed an hnnr redfo'd. Upon tl ii work of teici-ing the children the principle! of our holy fa to, tbe whole Buperstructun of their spiritual life depend?, anc it is one which has its specia cares and anxieties. It should, there fore, be approached with humility—thi ministry beiug looked upon as a privilege —and jou should endeavour to lit your selves for it by reading books of instruction euubling you to impart that knowledgt which is so cs.ential to Catholic childrc-, In conclusion, therefore, I wish you ever) siiccea?, and I hope that your numbe.f may increase, and tbat by your goad ix> arable you may ttach the chicken the Avay and the l.w of almighty God, shewin, them bo h how*to pi rform and execute Hi hoy law, A*.l hive just said, "Iwisl tha Society of Christian Doctrine ever, prosperity, and may you z.alou.ly fol.ov out those mles which bo doubt exist wi—tic it, for the full and faithful performance o! the work that is entrusted to you. Mr C Little preseuted an illuminate, and framed address from the local brand of tho H.A.C.B. Society. 'Ihe text wai ai followa : — " We, the officers nnd members of the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefil Society, Branch No. 81, beg to tender you a sincere and co-dial welcome to this city and dt, c se, and to offer you our felicitations on your nafe atrivul. Weiecctved withgreal gladness tho new. tbat our Holy Father, leo XIII., had been graciously pleased tc appoint to the episcopal charge of this far of] purtion of the Church's realm, a mem ber of the ancient and illustrious Order oi St. Benedict, from whose cloisters have none forth so many men of eminent virtue, saints, scho ar.?, and missionaries, zealous iv the propagation and defence ot the i 'Osptl. « c pray that God may spare yon for a long course of years, in the full posses, sion of health and faculties, to laboni among us, and tbat your work will be blossed with abundant ftuit. In youi a duous task jou may bo assured tbat sup port and Encouragement will ever bo given to you by our (.society, which, established primarily to make provision for the tem poral needs of its members on occasions ef sickness, keeps alio well in view thcii spiritual interests, by rendering it obliga tory upon every member to give practical cvidouce of his faith as a Ca'hole at stated periods. That the graces of Heaven may descend upon you, and that Catholicity may grow and flourish under your rule, ia, your Lordship, the fetvent prayer of youi devoted children.—Un behalf of the society, —C. Little, president; T. B. O'Connor, vice-pies;dtnt; James O'Brien, secretary j James Clark, treasurer." His Lordship eaid ;—" My dear children of the Hibernian Society—l give you sin cero nnd warm thanks for the very beautiful illuminated address with which you have just presented me. It puts me in mind of another omission that I must repair. I forgot to remark of the first address that I received this evening, that it also is in a very beautiful and illumi nated f-rm, which is the mote acceptable as it can be placed, so as to be always be before my eyes, thus keeping rac mindful of those who presented it to me— auother link In the chain that binds us to gether. Now, lam very far from liking, in the Church, to make any national allu sions, but I cannot help it here, for as your title indicates, you are sons of St. Patrick, aud that yon hail from a land that has been true to its faith and its colours through so many ages of persecution and times of in justice. I know that the greatest part among you aro from " the Green Isle," and that is another pledge to me that you are of the right tort - good Catholics; true to your faith and your church. It is ano ther link in the chain of union between us. 1 cannot help making allusion—even in this holy place—to a little incident that Berves to show my sincere regard and love for the Iri*-k people. When I was staying at Melbourne recently with 'the Jesuit Fathers when reference was made on one occasion to the late Lord Abbot Alcock, who had foimerly been their guest. I said of him that although he was an Englishman yet he might have been taken for an Irishman. I was im mediately asked "Why.'' and I replied, " Because be was a man of such a big heart." That is the characteristic of the Irish peopio,—large, big, generous, hearts, —and those are the hearts which make true followers of Our Lord. Therefote, be true to tbe gloiious distinctions of your lace for piety and zeal, and continue to support this Society of yours, which I can see to be one of great practical utility. In all things show yourselves to be true children of the Church. I recognise with pleasure the existence of (he Hibernian Society, It is* one of the many things that beget and maintain amongst ns what is called an esprit dc corps, viz,, a proper regard for ourselves as a body. Our Scottish friends, for instance, are known for the cohesion with which they sick together wherever they go and for the readiness with which they assist one another. It is right and proper tbat yeu should do the same, and it is highly satis factory that you should have a benefit society of your own binding you together not only spiritually but temporally as well. Bo assured then, my dear children of the Hibernian Society, t\at you have my best wishes, and my fullest approbation. Be true to your colours and worthily carry th- "Green" so significant of "Old Ireland" and also of that hope which raises our hearts to Heaven. His Lordship then, withdrew to the Fncri. ty, where lie wos robed for the bless ing of the Holy Sacrameut During his absence tne choir sane; au "0 Salutatis" aod another sacred selection. The members had mustered, in full force, and tho mnsicai portion of the service was vory effectively performed under the able i direction of Miss Shanaghan. I Upon the Bishops return to the altar the j Benediction was Baid, and the choir sang j "Lauda'e Domine" for Pis LordsbipV safe arrival. Tho proceedings concluded j with the Pontificia! blcssiog.

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY.

Annual Meeting.

[BY TELEGRAPH.-PRESS ASSOCIATION,] 7 DUNEDIN. Wednesday. THE ninth annual meeting of the share, holders in the National Insurance Company 7 was held to-day. Mr Keith Kamsay, vice chairman of directors, presided, The directors' report was adopted, recomm.n. ding a dividend of 10 per cent., making with the Interim dividend, 29 per cent, for - tho year, and catrying forward £5619, In his speech, the chairman said' Our fire premiums exceed those of the" former year by fully £7,000, and onr *: marine premiums by nearly £35,000. The fire business has been more than maintained in spits of ihe competition aud unremuner. ative rat s, and while the net results are not so satisfactory as we would wish, they ar. not nearly so bad as we might reason- ' übly have anticipated from the keen com. petiion and unremunerative rates which S nave so long prevailed throughout the coloties. Our interest does not show a 1 pi eat improvement fur the year, fent this is accounted for by several mort. \m gages, bearing large interest, falling due j which were allowed to run off, or had _m to be renewed at a reduced rate of interest and by the difficulty of finding good secan'. 1 ties as the payments for the new shares came in. Since the end of tho financial year considerable sums have been paid, and our investments at the end of October were ■ yielding at the rate of £12,81*. per annum. . I um*ng lo the other side, you will find our I i losses, both fire and marine, showing alsoa " ; considerable increase, and bear a much '. larger per cent-ige to premiums than in the ; , former year, the proportion of fire losses as comp&r- d with preminms being 75 per cent, ■ i as against 71 per cent, last year, and of . marine losses as compared with marine pre-: ; j miums 66 per cent a*) against 59 per cent. R S r is perhaps, not much consolation for you to -' i know that most of the other companies hare ; [ had quite as bad times as tbe Na'ional, and I . some of them more so. It is, however* I [ quite a fair pioceeding to compare onr Wm i business with that of others, and from the I . published accounts of 23 British companies i l find that the results of their business are ■

not as favourable as ouf own; andiefeiencc to the acounts of our local competitors will convince you that we are not in any - - wny beh nd them. After laying aside the sum necessary to cover our unexpired risks we have made £3888. That is the whole profit in underwriting ior the year, We have ail but paid our dividend on the old capital out of our interest and rents, so that II but for the prudence and fo e_tought of Ihe stfareiio-dcis during onr early years of prosi 11 pc ity, in supporting the directors in build ing up our reserve funds, we would It tve this year been unable to pay our usual dividend. At our last general meeting, you were infoinied by the chairman that SB we bad opened a branch in London, in con. junction with our good friends the South British and Adelaide Companies, and that B we had teason to expect good results from thi* step. Another company has joined w, and the combination now consists of ilie South British and National of New Zealand, the Adelaide of South Australia, and the United of oydney. We now form a powerful combination, and we ate all of good financial standing, and of excellent re pute. It is gtatifyim. to be able to infoim you that our expectations with rrgatd to the London business have been fully '*. r, aliscd, and that our success has beeu greater than could revs _ably have beeu looked for, The novelty of four good corn pauies combined ia one room, git greater conveniences to insurers, which have been largely taken advantage of, It is the desire of the directors of the com bined companies that our general manager should proceed to London as early as pos- . eible, in order to become personally ac- " quainted with|the nature of our business there. He leaves early next year, return, ing by way of America, and we hope at our next meeting to give a gratifying account 7 of Mr Jack's personal expeiience of our foreign i elations. As stated in the report, at an extraordinary annual meeting of an-reholders, held in March last, they re solved to increase their capital by the issue of another 100,000 shares of £10 each, of I which 10s per share was to be called up, the premium being fixed atTSs per jfi share, to be placed to the credit of the. re serve fund. These were offered to the £l shareholders in the pioportion of share for share,and with tho exception of 3885 shares have been taken up. Large capitals for | companies are becoming a necessity of the times. Uur commercial enterptiaes are pro. jee'ed on a gigantic scale, and whatever comes into lousiness relations with these must be of corresponding proportions. It is in reeponse to these expressive commer. cial ideas that a number of prominent in. suranoe companies have cDIa rged their 7 capital c-uring tho past years, ana i others are on the point of doing so, It is with satisfaction that I say that in , financial strength the National Insurance, Company stands second on the list of tbe many insurance companies having their headquarters in the Australian colonies, and tnat we bear a favourable comparison ;■ in that important particular with many large and long-established Birtish com- 7 ponies. During onr early years we had 7 good times in the colony, and we made the most of t'-em. They have not been so good for some time back, and_ we '7 are almost forced to seek fresh fields iv larger communities. Be assured,; 7 gentlemen, that the same cautious and con* siderate policy, which ha. been so success" 7 ful in the carrying on of our domestic \. business, will follow us into the larger and 7 more-important fields which we have deter* mined to cultivate. We have at the helm '.;. a general manager, who, to repeat-the words applied to him by the chairman at the last annual mee'ing, "With all his ; . reputation for cautiousness, has proved to develop, when circumstances called forit, an enterprise and mastery of his profession which has been of great advantage to tbe company, and will, I hope, continue to be so for years to come."
