Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-halt of the annual payments will be returned by the Society.

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 - lifoderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so treat, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Prem . um for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sis of its own experience, from time to ti- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigalon will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company apon every description of Property on moderate I erms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 5, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th Instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claim, have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 201:I1.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of Stay, 1650, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop. , sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comcrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums Since the c, mmencenient of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6,1., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 64 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15e. I Id. ,rose last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. lls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur do l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisi& Evegne de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

LIVES OF THE PRINCESSES OF ENGLAND. VOL. 111. BY MARY ANNE EVERETT GREEN, EDITOR OF TILE " LET TERS OF ROYAL AND ILLUSTRIOUS LADIES."—The nobility will no doubt look forward with peat interest to the conti nuation of this interesting new series of regal biographies, and the author of which has devoted's° many years of labour research to their composition. Like the "Lives of the Queens of England," they exhibit numerous curious and important facts hitherto entirel: , unknown. The third volume, which has just appeared, embraces an extended and remarkable period of English history - from the First to the Fourth Ed. ward. The life of Joanna of the Tower. the gentle and true-hearted wife of David Bruce, leads through some of the most stirring and memorable events recorded in the annals of Scorn land ; whilst the biographies of the daughters of Ed. ward 111. are fraught with numerous incidents illustrative of the chivalric spirit of the age. Of the eldest, Isabella, and her gallant husb,nd, Ingeirand Coucy, the details now given are entirely new; and the same remark holds good in refer ence to the daughters of Henry IV. The generous courage of the youngest of these princesses, Philippa, which proved the salvation of her weak consort's kingdom of Denmark, associated her with events such as seem to belong more to the page of romance than of history. A marked contrast to these scenes of triumph is furnished by the lives of the daughters of Edward IV., nurtured on the steps of the throne, exposed afterwards to the cruel machinations of their false uncle Richard 'IL, regarded with watchful jealousy by Henry VII., and dually sinking into obscure grave s k'venvig &pin WERE.

THE THURGOLAND MURDER• This inquiry, extending over three days, was brought to a close on Saturday evening. The only additional facts were the finding of some bullets, which formed part of a number which a man named Simpson had cast for the prisoner in December last, and which he had received as the reward for his trouble for so doing; these, on being compared with the slug found in the head of the deceased, were found to be similar in size and weight. constable named White, of Barnsley, also stated the suh • stance of a conversation which ensued between the . prisoner and himself on Thursday last. Th o e, Boner at that time made various inquiries _ g i sin w e ' t constable as to the nature of the evidencesuppossng him, and whether the constable thought,eld be hung. he was committed to York, be d death without He further inquired if the constable ever remembered a case of persons having adduced of persons having sufficient evidence being !lec h e r he had ever known seen them do the deed; of a similar char ge getting o ff with transport a t ion; oforne b r other shooting anoth er; whet her any person ch arge d with wilful murder and, further, if be eve who were transpo r t e d f or _ w life usually sent O . These singular queri es ev id ent l y that the - and, if so, where we re person show mind of the F risian r when he put there was balancing the possible tic quelice of the charge. A the concluficin of the evidence the prisz ncr was brought into the room and the whole of the evidence read ove r in his presence. Ile appeared to pay great a! tendon to the evidence of eireh witness, and at its termination remarked that, rasny of the statements therein o ,intained were wrong. He entered into a variety of explanations of a miner chlracter respecting the poe session of the gun and its being stolen out of the engine -house on the night of the murder; but he stu diously avoided any mention of his own movements after leavieg work at six o'clock up to his return home early on the f Mowing Liaoning. Neither did he give any explanation of his singular dialogue with the con stable. The coroner ha v i ng summed up, the jury were locked up to consider their verdict, Bud after cielibe ratirg for three-quarters of an -hour made the following return:—" We find a verdict of wilful 'murder. against some person or persons unknown. Vre, twiner, con eider that there is much in the evidenee to throw suspi cion on the prisoner John Firth, but not sufficient to warrant us in returning a verdict of wilful :tinder against him." As soon as i:ie verdict of acquittal had b:: , en re turned the prisoner Ras Lpptehendeo, Defore leaving the room, by Mr. Green, the superintendent constable at Barnsley, at the innarce of the magistrates. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. (William Cubits, Esq., President in the chair.) Oa Tuesday last the paper read was " An Inquiry into the nature of Patent Law protection, with a view to the better appreciation and security of the Rights of In. ventors," by Mr. A. V. Newton. The object being rather to elicit facts, with a view to forming a basis for some legislative amelioration of the patent laws, than to detail the anomalies and incon veniences ot the present system ; the paper only touched on such points of the actual practice of granting patents, as were coectived to be bed in principle, and omitted, almost entirely, the cumbrous and anC.queted machinery still employed in effectirg the grants. The policy ef granting any patents at all was diecussed, with the view of ascertatliteg whether, under certain circumstances. such prop ction to inventors had not proved detrimental to the interests of the manufacturers; and in considering ibis point, it was necessary to examine the relation of inventions to other creations of the mind; —as literary and artistic productions, whose right to protection bad been universally admitted. If then, is was argued, a literary composition, a picture, a statue, a decoration, or an inveatiou, be equally the production of the exertion of human intellect, all must be e qually en titled to protection. The Copyright Act had secured to the literary mar., the artist, and the designer, the benefits resulting from their mental labours, and the patent law should be rendered so simple as to afford similar protec tion to the bond- fide inventor. The period at which the protection of a patent should commence was next considered. The Copyright Act availed the author, or the artist, from the time his work assumed a tangible shape; but protection for an inven tion only commenced with the date of the patent. Now, no two precisely similar literary, or artistic works had ever been produced; but numerous instances might be adduced of improvements in the useful arts having been repeatedly and simultaneously re-invented. This was natural, as the peculiar wants of the period induced the exertion of similar talents in the same direction. The merit of the inventor, then, appeared to be the fore stalling of time, and therefore it was only just to the public, that a limit should be assigned to the existence of the inventor's interest in his discoveries. As regarded the person to wham protection should be granted, supposing that several applications were simul tuneously made for a patent, for an identical invention,_ it was held. that the first a ppli cant f or a patent, in the absence of all fraud, or collusion, should have the grant made to him; but that no claim should be entertained without the setting forth of the real inventor's name in the title. The Act of James the First, as to the definition of what was a patentable invention, was examined, and was shown to be satisfactory, and that its vagueness con stituted its great merit. As regarded the cost of patents, evidence was quoted to show that the present cost could only be advocated, on the presumption of its being a sort of check to the pa tenting of useless inventions, and this it was shown not to have effected, but that it had rather acted as a bar to the introduction of useful improvements. This was proved by statistical facts showing the number of inven tions patented in foreign countries, from which Great Britain derived no benefit. The disadvantages arising from the necessity of ob taining distinct patents, for the three kingdoms, were strongly insisted on, and the impossibility of satisfactorily establishing an international patent-right was clearly proved. With respect to the duration of patent grants, it was shown, that if the term of the grant was sufficient to induce inventors to bring forward their discoveries, the desired object of granting patents was obtained; and the burden of most of the insufficiencies of the actual term, of fourteen years, devolved on those who advocated a further extension. From this inquiry it was concluded— That the rights of inventors to the fruits of their labours were based on the same grounds as those of artists and literary men. That the proper period for their recognition was when a patent was applied for. That an inventor had no moral right to more than a limited interest in his discovery. That priority of invention should net of necessity confer a legal right to a patent; but that it was to the inventor who first claimed a patent (supposing there to be more than one), that the privilege should be granted. That the definition in the Act of James 1., of what was a patentable invention, was amply sufficient, and therefore required no amendment. That the present tax on patents bad proved a serious check to the development of inveetion, without con ferring any corresponding advantage. That the recigeition of the rights of inventors in Great Britain, by the grant of three distinct patents, tended to narrow the applicalon ot their ingenuity to one division of the United Kingdom. That inventions :bould be protected by one grant in the United King& m; and that any attempt at inter national aria gstuent would be impra-iii able. That the existing term of patents required no ex tension. And that patents should not be nnewable at the option of the patent, e. Tbe discus.ion was commenced, and being adjourned until the next meeting, will be then rep..rted. A model of a sell-atting siding stop for railways, de signed by Mr. Charles Hutton Gregory, M. Inst. C. E., was exhibited and explained. • '[he stop consisted of a block of wood shod with iron, and either turning or iallieg across the rail. A counte r . weight retained it when down in the iron chairs on each side of the rail, and bring conni erect with the switch by a wire-rope and two bell cranks, both must be tuoved simultaneously. When the switch was set for the main line, the counter weight kept the stop on the rail, and closed the siding. but when the switch was set for the siding, the weight wv.s drawn up, and the block turned over, so as to leave the rail cli ar, thus leaving the aiding uninterrupted. It was explained that by the same ar rangement a hleck might be wade to 'neve sideways, or to slide transversely across the rail The use rf his stop involved no exile tabour, as it was worked simtiltm neously with the switch; it was vety chi ap and simple in its cousiructien, nut costing more than 3/., and was not liable to dtratieement. It had b; en made for the Bristol and Exeter Railway, by Mr. Helmet', of Bridge. water, sod was found to act well to practice.
