(Incorporated tinder 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) • The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of 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 great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been totind 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 Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap. ?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, 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 less 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 analysis of its own experience, from time to tiro 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 investigation will be made into each _lass of risk, and areturn of one moiety, or fltty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have heen in three for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The follosilng is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from death§ in Englac, and but tiato_in-Ireland—ororevoikei,antitheothetfor together 7001., which have been paid. This is tar 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 let of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1250, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 64.: of these 123, comprising 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 commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro- Jucing in annual premiums 3,7321.

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 de 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 Parisis , Evequ e 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.

HOUSE OF COMMONS: April 30 (Continued from our Afternoon Edition o: yesterday.) HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) b ILL. Upon the motion for going into C o mmittee en th: B Bill, Mr. NICHOLLS objected to the principle of the Bi which he contended was nothing more than making South Wales the scere of experiment. He should op pose going into Committee r n the Bill, and if that were unsuccessful, ho should move to except the county of Glamorgan from its opera ion. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought there was no more IA cessity for this Bill in South Wales than any other part of the kingdom. After a short discussion on the propriety cf extendirg the Bill to England, Sir G. TYLER rose to move that the House should go into Committee that day six months. Viscount EMLYN said that us the Government Bill was not likely to be introduced at any early period, and as far as his experience went, it was evident that no time could be fixed for any Bill of any kind, he had therefore determined to introduce his own Bill. —(Hear.) He had at first intended to bring forward a general Bill, or some one which would lead to a general Bill. His regard had been especially directedto the dis trict of South Wales, which was especially deficient in the means by which a freedom of highways could be carried out. He 'should, therefore, persevere to a divi sion, and ho hoped that the Reese would be with him. Mr. C. LEWIS said that, although he objected to many of the details, be did not object to the plan on which it was to be carried out. The details were incon sistent with the principles, and consequently no perma nent good could be eMcted without a *mat alteration in the mode by which the provisions of the Bill were to be carried out; however, he did not oppose the principle of the Bill, for he thought that it would be eminently bene ficial, but it might be still more serviceable if its advan tages were made more general. He should, therefore, reserve himself for the Committee. Mr. VIVIAN said that in his opinion the whole of the management had better be left to the county magis trates. The motion was negatived without a division. The House then resumed, when Mr. WILLIAMS said that the whole of the business ought to be borne in mind. It would greatly affect the Bill to which the Government had already given its sanction. Sir BENJAMIN HALL said that whatever the Hon. Member for Lambeth might say, there would at least be 'a great grievance inflicted upon the agricultural, and he might say upon every part of the community. After a few observations from Mr. C. LEWIS, Sir F. LEWIS expressed his opinion that this Bill, Although defective in several points, was calculated to be of great public benefit. Lord EMLYN said that it would be of benefit if the whole of the matter were to be referred to the Govern ment. Mr. HUME said that he had repeatedly drawn the attention of the House to subjects of this nature, and the whole of his exertions had been met with a put off. What he wanted was a comprehensive measure. The fact was that the whole affair ought to be taken up by the Government. After a few words from several other Members, The House divided, when there appeared— ' For the motion ... Against it Majority .; ••• —5l The House having resumed, Mr. MIME and Lord EMLYN made several observations on the sth clause, after Which the clause was passed without a division. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up this day week. LODGING-HOUSES BILL. _ _ This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day week. FARM BUILDINGS BILL. Mr. B. COCHRANE moved the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to enable proprietors of land to borrow money for the erection of farm buildins. Mr. ' s TRELA.WNY considered that the Bill would have an injurious tendency. After a few observations from Mr. MULLINGS, Mr. LIUME said be objected to the proposal that landed proprietors should be enabled to borrow money under the provisions of the Bill without paying the stamp duty; if they were to be relieved of this duty the exception ought to extend to other classes. He thought the measure would have the effect of doing a great in• justice to successors to estates by placing additional burdens upon them. Mr. MILES opposed the Bill. The House then divided, syllen*ets rezpeared— . For the second leading • ... 66 Against it ... ••• 25 Majority ... ..• ..• —4l SUNDAY TieADING PREVENTION BILL. Petitions against the Bill were presented by Mr. ‘VAKLEY and Mr. BARING WALL. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the House go into Committee upon the Bill. Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion. lie had been on the Committee which had set en the Bill, and he was sorry to say that he could not congratulate the Com mittee on its handiwork. The Bill was, in fact, the result of a mixture of Sabbatical fanaticism, and a desire on the part of shopkeepers in certain dis tricts to crush the efforts of their poorer brethren. There was an exception made in the Bill with regard to milk and cream, which was allowed to be sold on Sun days before ten in the morning and after one in the after noon; and he should like to know why greater regard was to be shown to the soul of the fishmonger than the soul of the milkman. Club-houses were exempted en tirely from the operation of the Bill, as were also pub licans. These were only some of the inconsistencies of the Bill. But the most tyrannical and objectionable disuse of the Bill was the 7th, which gave a judicial power to policemen to decide, on their own discretion, whether a party had committed au Offence under the in tended Act, and to seize the whole property of some miserable hawker or dealer, which might happen to be of a very perishable nature. It was true that a magistrate had the power after wards of restoring the property, but in the mean time it might become worthless. The statement in the pre amble, that legislation on this subject was necessary, was altogether unfounded. In all the principal districts of the metropolis Sunday trading had considerably de creased, or remained stationary. There had been no in crease in the borough of Lambeth, which was repre sented by the proposer of the Bill. Sunday trading, however, was carried on somewhat largely by persons of the Jewish persuasion, who had a Sabbath and holidays of their own. Their Sabbath, fast, and other days, which they most religiously observed and on *Mete they abstained from labour, amounted altogether to sixty-six days in the year, and the effect of the Bill would be to compel them to make fifty-two more holi days; in fact, to withdraw from them, altogether, four calendar months out of the twelve. The Honourable Member for Lambeth had said that the Bill was as much his (Mr. Anstey's) as his own; he wished he would adhere to that statement, and allow him (Mr. Anstey) to withdraw the Bill; in that case the House would never hear of it again. —(Laughter.) If he were defeated on the present occasion he should OPpOSO i: in every stage of its future progress. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Bill go into Committee on this day six months. Mr. BARING WALL hoped that the Hon. Member for Lambeth did not eeriourAy intend to go into Com mittee to-day. If the Bill went into Committee he should move that it should be made a general instead of a local measure. He depre cated that sort of bastard legislation which applied to particular districts, and prevented the people knowing under what law they lived. The next amendment he should propose would have re ference to the times mentioned in the Bill for the sale of articles. There were many other amendments which he intended to make, in order to remove the anomalies in the Bill. He concluded by seconding the amendment. Mr. LEONARD moved that the debate be adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER. --The Baltic arrived in the Mersey last 'night, with advices showing a further decline of to ofi a cent per lb. in the price of cotton at New York. A telegraphic announcement from New Orleans shows that a quarter of a cent had been lost there from the 6th to the 9:h of April, but was regained by the 12th, through the influence of improved accounts received by the Africa from this , country. Some of the ether southern markets had undergone a similar variation. From the New York list, date d April 16, we take th e fol lowing particulars of increase as compared with 1815: Bales. Total increase of receipts at ports ... ... 171,926 Week's increase ... ••• ••• ••• ••• 8 530 Total increase of exports to Great Britain ... 183,287 Week's increase ..• ••• ••• ... 18.605 Increase of stock at the ports ••• ... 4,923 Increase of stock in iet-rior towns 28 330 But, as only a portion of the week's receipts at New Or leans had been repotted, the total excels was estimated at 180,000 bales. This ,was expected to reach 200,000 bales, and then a gradual decrease is looked for. As the - se accounts are taken to be more decisively indicative than the preceding ones of a progress to a lower level of pricer we have experienced an increased depression in every de• partment of our market to-day.

The debt owing to the State is con sequently reduced to 29,312.229 f., interest included. The Board has paid since 1848, 29,000,000 e, and has in addition in hand 6,877,9161. in Treasury bonds, taken in Decem ber last at 4 per cent. interest.

We were intermed that important And the' expenses to ... s.. 8 858,124 21 negotiations on the subject of building are in progress, and almost brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Duriog the construction of the railway and of the Britannia-bridge, Captain Moorsom, the then resident director, occupied a house on the left, or mountain side of the railway, to which are attached 30 acres of lard, also the property of the company. As this land is on a still higi'er elevation than the ground we have just de-' scribed, it is intended to eelf it in plots of from one to two acres for the erection of first -Cloys detached villas—and a more charming spot could not be selected for such description of buildings. Its height affords a commanding prospect towards the Straits in every direction, and immediately at the back of this !and are some of the most picturesque walks that can be conceived or depicted. As the present Bangor station is about a mile and a half from the New Hotel, a new station, to be called the Junction Station, will be erected. This will accommo date not only the residents at the hotel, but will be equally convenient for the inhabitants of the villas and terraces to be built on the other portions of the Com pany's property. The Carnarvon branch (progressing rapidly) will join the main line just opposite the hotel. Proceeding towards the Tubular Bridge we learned the arrangements for its inspection. The public will be taken through the tubes, under the control of company's servants, until a quarter of an hour before each train is due. They will not be. allowed indiscriminately to walk across the outside of the tubes. The privilege is only to be obtained under special authority, but about twenty feet on each " land tube" is to be securely fenced off, and the public admitted thereon. This will enable them to see the structure just as effectively as if they were permitted to walk across. At Holyhead we have an example of what well-di rected energy will effect. The existing passenger sta tion of the railway is situated nearly a mile and a half from the pier at which passengers embark for and dis embark from Kingstown. They themselves and their luggage, es well as the mails and all par cels, have to be brought in omnibuses and other vehicles from one point to another. The harbour and pier branch at present in course of erection will remedy this defect. Although its construction in volves a cutting a third of a mile long, and from ten to fifteen feet deep, the demolition of eight or ten houses, the filling up and levelling of suffi cient space for the erectien of the new station, and of the very complete refreshment rooms at tached to it, the laying down through the harbour of a timber viaduct, half-a-mile long, which is than continued on as a tram way at one side of the road to the packet pier, another halt a mile in extent, yet this harbour branch was only commenced four weeks ago, and it is to be ready for use by the 15th of May. From and after that date, the passengers landing from the steam packets will walk some thirty steps to the railway car riages; their luggage, the mails, and parcels will be at once loaded, when the train will be drawn along the tramway and viaduct by horses to the station. At the refreshment rooms the:e the passengers will find all that they require to soothe the inward or outward man, age:, the fatigues and the heart-rendings of the voyage. Thse'ivatories will be provided with ample supplies of he t e s 'vater and every other reqtlisite for making a com fortable toilet; whilst the refreshment departments are to be presided over by one, who, in her way, is as great as the redoubted Soyer—the famous Mrs. Rib bert. We are surprised to learn that she deserts the great cradle of her fame—Wolverton—for the classic retirement of Holyhead harbour. Nevertheless, such is the fact; and we will only make one aspiration on this change, which is, that her smiles may be as sweet, her handmaids as charming, and her pork pies as excellent as the trumpet of fame has proclaimed all three to have hitherto been. There are great expectations of the development of an extensive coal trade with Ireland, and ample provision for conducting it is provided in the harbour. If the Holyhead directors can compete successfully with the Whitehaven coals now brought to Ireland, it will be a famous affair for their company, for the best house coals come from the neighbourhood of Chester, and will have to be conveyed the whole extent of the line. We are inclined to think that the gallant manager of the London and North-Western Railway is not far from the mark when he says that there is n more profitable o trade than coals at id. per ton per mile, exclusive of waggons for long runs, and with loads of from 180 to 200 tons. If the Holyhead Company intend to have a large coal traffic they must not look tor a ' higher rate. As the harbour to be selected for the American packets to start from and to arrive at is now a question of interest with t he p ublic, a few words u p on that at Holyhead will not be out of place. The great breakwater, first running north and south, and then running east and west, is just one-third finished, that is, it now extends 1,800 feet into the sea, and 3,600 feet have yet to be constructed. It proceeds at the rate of about 43 feet a week, and, taking all contingencies into consideration, Mr. Bendel!, the engineer, considers it will bo finished in two years. The greatest depth of this breakwater will be 43 feet, its average depth is 35 feet. It will Le 65 feet wide at the level of nigh water, and 35 feet at its upper surface, which will be 15 f ee t a b ove hi g h w ater level—eprime tides. \Vneu the whole harbour is c ompleted, it will comprise within it 300 acres of holding ground, with six fathoms depth of water at the lowest I spring tides. a, a „icdanc i p of LLeaving L •.• ••• 13,816,217 E 21c.

The report then briefly touches ou the law-suit at present pending between the Northern Company and that of Boulogne, and declares that the suit is not yet terminated, but that the Northern Company awaits the iesult with confi dence. The establishment of the electric telegraph on the line is then alluded to, and is spoken of as highly advantageous to the service in simplifying all the details of the working. The plan of receiving shares in vet of for the shareholders had been found to answer perfectly. The Northern Company had purchased, in conjunction with that of Strasburg, nine hectares of land situated be tween the Paris termini of the twoJines. The two com panies addressed, on October 25th, 1850, to the Minister of Public Works an application for permission to establish a junction line between the two main lines. The application was referred to a com mission, and no definitive answer has yet been given to the demand made; all that the Northern and Strasburg companies wanted was a ready means of communication between their lines, which they:were quite willing to eff.ct at their own expense, and the cost of which would exceed from 60,000'. to 80,000 f. The es tablishment of such a line was altogether independent of a general jurction line, and would it executed save bath companies very consi ierable expense. In the last place the report alludes t J the improvements lately established in the communications with Etigland and Germany. The traveller can now leave Paris at half-past seven in the evening, and arrive in London at a quarter to eight the next morning, and can go over the whole distance from Paris to Edinburgh, 1 , 211 kilometres , or 757 English miles, in less than 26 hours, Also, from the Ist of May such additional rapidity was to be imparted to the ser vice to Germany, that the journey from Paris to Berlin would be effected in 35 hours, and from Paris to Co. logne in 171 hours. Likewise, by Calais from Berlin to London, in 40 hours, and from Cologne to London in 221 hours. After the reading of the report, the conclusions of the report of the committee on the accounts of 1849 were approved of, and the accounts declared to be definitively passed. The accounts presented for 1850 were then provision ally approved of, as was the dividend of Bf. per share proposed; and the same committee was appointed to ex amine them as had examined those of 1849. The outgoing directors. MM. Hottinguer, Caillard, Dastier, F. Baring, and Dalon, were re-elected unani mously. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question asked rela tive to the payment of the dividend, stated that any shareholder could be at coca paid the amount coming to him, at a discount of 4 per cent., the rate of_ interest at which the Treasury bonds were held by the com p any being 4 per cent.—(Marks of satisfaction greeted this announcement.) The meeting then separated. KIN G'S COLLEGE. Yestrrday the annual meeting of the council of this institution took place, at the College, Strand; the Bishop of Lichfield iu the chair.

The report of Professor Guy, the dean, on the state of this department, was highly satisfactory. The numbers had increased, the discipline was unreltaxed, the system had worked well. On the subject of the hospital, the Learned Professor spoke at length, and adduced the most convincing statistics to prove the inefficiency of the present building, and the necessity of immediately erecting one more capacious to supply its place. He re ferred, also, to the distinctions won at other universities by quondam pupils of King's College, and whilst praising the present generation, urged them to emulate their predecessors' industry and worth. Dr. Jelf, and others, next addressed the meeting, gud the prizes having been distributed, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the company dispersed. ANNIVERSARIES. The custom of holding anniversary festivals seems to be going out of fashion, like many other old ways. Few, however, can have forgotten that one of the days of the past week—Wednesday, the 23d of April—was a day to be held in peculiar honour in England, as the anniversary of the (reputed) birth day of Shakspere. Curious that that day should also be St. George's Day ! The Society of Antiquaries met to elect their office-bearers for the ensuing year; and, we dare say, the fact that it was Shakspere's birthday was not forgotten among the toasts at their dinner. At other meetings, also, in many parts of the country, the circumstance must have been remembered, as well as that, on the same day last year, Wordsworth died. Cant mingles with all things —and most dreadfully of all with dinner speeches; but we like the fashion of keeping anniversaries. By-the-by, talking of birthdays, does anything in the character and genius of a man depend on the month in which he was born? Is there any sig nificance in the fact that Shakspere's first in Pant gaze on the world and on Warwickshire happened in the sweet and showery " spring month? We don't know; but it would be difficult inductively to make any thing out on the point. Burns was born in January; Milton in December; Go-the and Napoleon in Au gust; Wellington in May; Cromwell—a very different kind of person fram Shakspere—almost on the same day in April as Shakspere; in fact, all sorts of men have been born in all sorts of months. Yet a deep fellow tni::.ht make something of the subject; and wo advise some deep fellow to do so.—Leader. IIEALTII of LONDON during the WEEK. (From. the Report of the Registrar-General.) The officiarreport says:—The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Sa -turday were 1,075. The mortality. which was of unusual amount throughout March, but in the subse quent three weeks of April showed a disposition to ele ct:tie, again exhibits a ounaiderable excess above what is usually experiene , d at this period of the year. Last wi , elt was the seventeenth et' the year; taking the same week in each of the 10 years 18.11-50, it appr-ars that the deaths did not rise in any instarc. ro high as in hist week; that in they rose to 1,058, but in most cases scarcely exceeded 960. no average of the 10 corresponding weeks was 904, wbkh, if corrected for assumed iLcrease of population, becomes 986. Above this esiimoVid result th►rot was an increase last week amounting to 39, Compared with that of the preceding week, when the dealis were 998, the present return exhibits an increase in the zymotic or epidemic, and the tubercular class's of fatal diseases, stud in those diseases which affect the res piratory organs. The z3ruotic class numbered 217 deaths in the previous week, and has now risen to 232; the difference arising almost exclusively from measles, which has nearly doubled its number of cases within the fortnight. This complaint carried off 67 children last week, scarlatina 10, smallpox 8 children and an adult. Typhus was fatal in 32 cases, charrhcea in 21, influenza in 7, and booping-cough in 66. Considerably more than the usual number of children are still d 3 ing from this last-mentioned complaint, which at this period of the year does not generally exceed 43 in its weakly measure of fatality. Oler diseases which have last week been augmented in their futtil effects are consumption, which rose in the taF i t two weeks from 168 to 139 (the latter number not being far from, the average), and pneumonia, or inflam mation of the lungs, which rose from 52 to 90. The increase in this ',Aver disease has been chiefly confined t -children; and br.)nchitis, spread more e qually over all ages, actua ll y shows a decrea,:e. the mortality fro m which is It is shown by a comparison of deaths at different periods of life that both the yout hful and aged portions of the community, tut chit fly the former, have latterly contributed more then the usual amount of mortality, while the. ranks of the micldl,-atzed supply less than the avenge number of deaths for this season of the )ear.
