No man need be awdiened by long exhortations to the in4)ortanoe of the subject, or to the absolute necessity of providing some means which shWl preserve hunself, wife and family from possible want. This Society places the means to do so within the reach of all willing to avail themselves of such a boon. To all, and especially the Industrial Class, read this Circular attentively; and rdcoi'' lect that when physical strength fails by reason of diseas6--"the advantages of sueh an institution will become more apparent.

The establishment of a Branch of the " British American Friendly Society " in Quebec, under a respectable and influential Board of Direction will certainly be a matter of congratulation. The suj?- geslions which we this day extract from a Mont- real contemporary, entitled : " How to afford the annual payment, enthling a person to receive a weekly Denefit of £\ or £2 per week during sick- ness or disability " seeni to be based upon the same plan as the Benevolent Societies of Groat Britain whose operations have bean productive of great advantage to the Mother country. There is no doubt, that the principle of association is one which may frequently accomplish the '>■ -t and greatest objects, and we are happy to see it introduced into Canada in the shape of such a Society as this. . (From the Canadian Colonist, Quebec.) In another place will be found an advertisement of the " British American Friendly Society, " whic h has established an Office.under the control of a local Board, at No. 10, Haldiinand Street. This Society is, in fact, the organisation of a most comprehensive system of Benevolent Societies. It has offices in all parts of Upper and Lower Canada, as well aa in the Lower Provinces. It has all the advantas;es offered to per- sons by local Benevolent Societies, as well as by So- cieties like the Odd Fellows, Masons, £cc., without any of the objections which exist in reference to So- cieties like the two latter. The amount of relief to be given incases of sickness is the largest amount which can be allowed according to the calculations founded on the experience of upwards of a hundred years by similar institutions in England. A person joining this Society, and paying 15s. a year, U entitled to an allowance of lOs. a week in «a838 of sickness or incapacity for labor; by paying 30s a year he receives, in like case 208 per week, and so on according to the amount of his annual contri- bution. A payment of 5s per annum, in addition, en- titles the family of the deceased to receive £10 on his death. The extension of the operations of the So- ciety secures it from any possibility of loss to sucli an extent as would prevent it from fulfilling its enga- gements towards its members, as there is a large a- mont of funds gathered from the various localities in which the Society has branches, to fall back upon. The composition of the Board at Quebec is such as to give every confidence in the successful carrying out of the object, of the Society. We recommend our readers to join this Society ; a few shillings paid when in the enjoyment of health, and which are hardly missed, secure what may be a great object to a man of family overtaken by sick- ness. British American Friendly Society' — On reference to the advertisement which appears in this issue it will be seen, that a branch of this institution has been established at Bytown. Mr. Roderick Ross, has been appointed the Actuary for this branch. The objects contemplated, by this Institution are to pro- vide the means in case of sickness, or old age, and also what is called a Funeral benefit." In the present age, it is scarcely necessary to take up space or time in setting forth the benefits to be de- rived from insurances of every kind, which are sulR- ciently evident of themselves to need no argument in their favour. The plan on which the Assurances arc effected in this Company, and the benefits tobederi- should be patronized by all, especially the wor» king class. It is under the charge of men of high standing in society in Montreal, and by reference to the Toronto Board of Directors, it will be noticed in society. The society has already attained a proud position among the benevolent institutions of the Province. — Port Hope Watchman. It will be noticed in our columns of to-day, that the British American Friendly Society have esta- blished a Branch Office in this city, under the management of Mr. Armstrong, Esquire, where certificates of Membership will be issued and claims paid. II would be useless for us to point out the real benefits of this society, as the great success of similar institutions in Europe evidently show the advantage derived by mem- tiers, and are daily becoming more and more ap- preciated by those who feel the necessity of making some provision for themselves and family during time of sickness. — Kingston British Whig. British American Friendly Society. — We have intended for some time past to notice this Association, and we are anew reminded of that intention by the receipt of the Monthly Monitor, for January, a paper which the Board of Mana- gement publishes and supplies to members. — gratis. To non-members the terms are only 2» 6d per annum. We are happy to see that the Institution is in a flourishing state, and hope that it will prove a blessing to many of the poorer classes, for whose benefit such Association are more immediately intended. Agencies are being established all over the country — the list occupies three-fourths of a column in the " Monitor " — and the Agents are of the most unexceptional character and respectability. We recommend those of our readers wishing further information to called at the office of the Society, 103 Notre- Dame Street, and obtain a copy of the Monitor. M. Phillips, the obliging Secretary of the Society, may be seen at the office every day, between 9 A. M., and 5 p. M. — Montreal Sun. BiuTisH American Friendly Society. — We will take an early opportunity to go at length into the liistory of friendly societies m Great Bri- tain, and the benefits which they have conferred opon the operative and middle classes of the com- munities in which they have been established, anil to urge the facts upon people here, who them- selves, and perhaps families, are dependant on their [loalth for their daily bread. In the mean- time wo beg to refer all such, to an article in an another column from the Monitor, a journal published m Montreal by the Society. It is hard- ly necessary to say that the highly respectable gentlemen, under whose auspices the British American Friendly Society has been established, aremen of honor and integrity. — Kingston Comr- vu'.rcial Advertiser.

Ifi the present age, it is scarcely necessary to tako .upspaceoriime in aettiii^ forth the benefits to be de- rivad from insurances of every kind, which are sutll- ciantty evident of themselves to need no argument in their favour. The plan oa which the Assurances are effected in this Company, and the benefits to be deri- ved are komewhat different from those of ordinary Assurances. In life Assurance, nothing ii payable .intil the death ofthepersju on whose life it is effec- ted ; but here, the party, as a general rule, who pay, .the premium* is the one who, under certain circums- tance diirives the advantasj'e. If he unfortunately falls sick, he has the sure means of support, and fur pro- curing the necessary medical attendance provided for him. in other words, the person paying the small annual premium mentioned, can thereby, when inca- pacitated from following his usual avocations from ill- ] health, insure for himself excellent care and medical attendance, without being indebted for it to charity, ' or becoming a burden on any one. By payinjj a small additional annual premium, if a man of family, he can provide the moans uf support for him also, thus effectually relieving the mind of the suffering parent from what is frequently no small aggravation of disease, the anxiety about those dependent upon his exertions for their daily bread. — Bytowri, Gazelle.

W, We invite the favorable attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column, of the British American Friendly So^iety. Its object, it will be seen, is highly laudable ; that of accor- ding relief to members who may become disabled by disease, infirmity or accident. Such institu- tions, are, calculated to do essential service to the class for which they are formed ; tlu3y promote ha- bits of industry, and induce foresight and economy. The rules, which are printed at length in a jour- nal published at Montreal gratis, by tho Society, flailed the Monthly Monitor, seera to bo judi- ciously framed. — Montreal Pilot. British American Friendly Society. — This is an institution which may be termed a Sickness and Annuity Fund Society, having for its objects the alleviation of the sorrows of the working class, when disabled by accident or sickness. The bu- siness of the Society is conducted on the same principles as the Odd-Fellow^s' and other bene- volent associations. Secret passwords and signs are, however, entirely dispensed with, and the books of the society are open at all times for the inspection of members. Such associations are well worthy of tlvj support of the classes for whose benefit they are intended. For the terras of ad- mission, &c., we would refer our readers to the advertissement. J. H. Phillips, Esquire, the efficient Secretary of the Society, will furnish full particulars, and can be seen at the office of the Society, N^ 103, Notre-Dame Street, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. — Montreal Sun.

It is the organ of tho Brhish American Friendly Society, established in Montreal for the " Mutual relief of the members thereof during old age, sickness and infirmhy. " The institution is purely a benevo- lent one, and organized under a board of hishly respectable gentlemen in Montreal. It offers great advantages to members to " prepare for a rainy day, " full particulars of which, as well as a copy (if tliQ Monitor and a Prospectus of the society, can be obtained on application to Mr. Macartney at the Post Office, who is the Agent for Paris and its neighborhood. — Paris Star. II will be noticed by a reference to our adver- tising colums than an Agency of the British Ame- rican Friendly Society of Montreal, has been established in Port Hope, under the charge of William Burnham, Esq., a gentleman of higli standing and well qualified to conduct the busi- ness. The institution is purely a benevolent one. It is calculated to do a large amount The jMonthly Monitor is the title of a paper in Montreal, under the auspices and in the inte- rest of the British American Society, and contains an expose of principles and objets of that insti- tution. A reftn-ence to tho advertisement on the opposite page w ill show the outlines of this organization. It m.-iy, however, be well to say, that it is purely a tenetit institution, designed to secure certain immunities to its members for a small annual consideration, under peculiar and necessitous cir- cuuistances. The names associated with it as otfice-bearers, are guarantee of the bona fide character of it. It will also be seen that Mr. R. Easton, already an Agent for several other insti- tutions, is Agent also for this. Our own convic- tion is that institutions of this kind in this country, aro calculated to be bonelicial to all classes, btit more especialv so to the laboring classes. — Na- panec Miscellany.

It is truly benevolent in character, and will no doubt botlio moans of effecting a great amount of good. Tho Monitor, as the organ r f the Society, will be publish monthly, under the direction of tne head society at Montreal.
