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 front deaths in Engine,. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 2801.—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, 1449, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.: of these 12 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 Ist of June last, assuran'es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d.

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 Archbish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque 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.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vioious habits, while suffering from their invariable co n- sequences, unwisely entertains a fear o f applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured.

EQUITARLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. 'lie 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 nas 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 lar , made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance COmpany is established. the true rate of Pretty= for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached 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 anals sic of its own experience, from time to di , e, adopt each 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 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 upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Claus.

The accounts for the ninth year of the Society's business ending the 30th September. 1856, and the Report of the Auditors thereon, having been read and duly received, the following Report of the Di rectors was also read : REPORT. The Directors are happy to have It in their power to inform the Shareholder= that the financial year ending the 30th September, 1850, has furnished the most satisfactory results which they have yet had to lay before the Shareholders, whether as regards the amount of new business done, or the extent of losses incurred. " During the year ending the 30th September, 1850, there have been issued no fewer than 569 policies for assurances, amounting to 213,4691. 16s I Id., and yielding an annual revenue, on the new po licies thus effected, of 9,1631. I3s 7d. This exceeds the amount of business transacted by this office in any former year, not only in the number of policies, and the sums assured by those ',elides, but also in the yearly premiums pa) ably upon them " The following table shows the results or the business transacted in each year since the establishment of the Society : Number of Annual Premiums New Policies Sums Assured payable on issued Year. by New Policies New Policies in in each Year. in each Year. each Year. --- --- - --- 1842 130 £55,245 1 0 £1,882 13 7 1843 208 87,830 16 11 4,992 18 6 1844 197 80.415 8 6 4,120 4 3 1845 258 103,014 11 0 5.563 17 0 1846 199 83,700 14 5 4,985 8 5 1847 313 113,542 4 8 4,237 3 4 1845 412 124,458 17 9 4,940 2 8 1849 475 201.712 15 6 7,496 0 6 1850 569 213,469 16 1.1 ------ -- ---- To t a l 2761 £ 1,063,390 6 8 9,163 13 7_ £47,422 1 6 " It ,s plain from this statement, that in the course of a very fe ,o.ra the Society has acquired a very large amount of busine: "It is plain from this statement, that in the course of a very few years the Societe has acquired a very large amount of business, equalled by • ew of t h e Assurance Companies in the metropolis. "The Directors wish to impross on the Shareholders the important fact that this rapid acquisition of business is not owing to any acci dental cause, but has taken place uniformly throughout the whole field of the Society's operations, showing e l ear 4.- the confidence re posed in the Society by the p ublic. " It is also most gratifying to be able to report that the losses by deaths during the past year have been loss than in any preceding year since 1844 ; from which it appears that, with the exception of the three first years of the Society, when the number of policies in force was not one-fourth of the present number, the mortality has been less than in any other. " The Directors have only further to state, that the Members of the Board going out of office by rotation are Edward Doubleday, Esq., and Robert Bentley Todd, M D. and the Auditors also going out of office by rotation are James Parker Deane, D.C.L., and Mar tial Lawrence Welch , Esq., all of whom being eligible offe r them selves for re-election.

GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully Baba :titled by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLT.EST, who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was soddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision for his widow. Under Inch circumstances. it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holle-t will comment' itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The Income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Berries, Farquhar, and Co. ; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritten, and Co:1 Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

At Grangemouth about 2,132 quarters of wheat, 378 quarters of barley, 128 quarters of peas, and 760 sacks of flour have been reported from the Continent.

[ADVEILTISEMENT.] Rheumatism, a wonderful Cure of which Disease has been Effected by Holloway's Oint ment and Pills.—Mr. Donald 111aKellar, of Alurrumbridge, in New South Wales, states that a man of about fifty years of age, employed by John Peters, Esq., Justice of the Peace in that colony, suffered for twelve months from an attack of rheu matism, brought on by exposure to wet and cold; he was so painfully afflicted that his body was bent nearly double. In this deplorable condition he began the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and so speedily was the cure effected by them that it seemed to those who had witnessed his sufferings little less than a miracle. —Sold by all Druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. The Roscommon Journal says that a Scotchn , Rn in a neighbouring town put a placard in his shop window stating that he "wanted a boy," and the next morning on opening his door was surprised to find a basket lying outside, which, on opening, he found to contain a male child, with a label attached, haying on it, 44 Here SALES OF ENCUMBERED EATATE.S. DUBLIN, THUR4DAY.- fhe Commissioners sat ott Tuesday for the disposal of eight properties. The court was densely crowded, and the sales were effected with considerable dispatch., The leasehold estate of Mr. M'Daniel, situated in the county of Wicklow, producing a profit rental of 418/. per annum, subject to a head rent and other charges of over 2001. a year, had bnt one bidder, a gentleman named Kennedy, who offered 4,0001., at which sum he was declared the purchaser. When the above property was originally offered for sale in this court 4,6001. was bid for it, but the auction having been adjourned at the request of the owner, it was sold yes terday for 4,0001. only, being 6001. less than might have been obtained for it at the former sale had no objection been offered. The estate, of Mr. William Cox, compris ing land in the counties of Cork and Limerick, yielding a rental of about 170/. per annum, produced 1,4451. The estate of Mr. Butler, of Walters town, in the county of Galway, estimated, ac cording to the Ordnance valuation at 177/. 9s. 9d. per annum, realised 1,750/. This property wes sold subject to a mortgage fur 500/., payable in July, 1852, and which pays interest at the rate of six per cent. A lot of ground -rents in the city of Dublin brought 2,6301. The estates of Mr. Walter Carew, comprising lands and premises in the counties of Kilkenny and Water ford and city of Cork, held in fee simple, fee farm grant, and under lease for lives, were pu up in a number of lots. The Kilkenny property had no bidders, and the house and ground -rents iii Cork went for 3801 The Waterford estate, producing a net profit rent os 274/. yearly, was, atter a sharp <t uggl, kneeked down for 3,000/. A profit rent of 17/. 9a Id.. arising out of sands in the King'a County, sold for 200/. The adjourned sale of the estates of Mr. Thomas O'Brien, of Fair field, was then proceeded with. The properties are situated in the counties of Galway and Roscom mon, and on the former occasion, it may be recollected, Lord Clancarty became the pur chaser of the Galway estate for the sum of 4,225/, or about eighteen years' purchase. Subsequently the sale was declared null, owing to misrepresentation in the printed rental, and a correspondence of a rather unusual nature afterwards passed between the Noble Earl and Mr. O'Brien. The lands of Fairfield were first put up, and after some bidding were finally disposed of for 4,2001., being only 251. less than the sum given at the first sale. The Roscommon estate, producing a rental of about 260/. per annum, realised 3,0501. The celee brated Mayo estates of John and Dominick M'Loughlin, " owners and petitioners," were, for the third or fourth time, brought upon the carpet. As this property has almost become matter of history, it may be as well to give the full bill of particulars :-Lot 1. Lands contain ing 6,878 a. 2r. 6p. statute measure, and producing 1221. 16s. 6d. per annum; head rent, 1931. 3s. 6d.; rent charge, 8/. 125.; Ordnance valuation, 2281. 4s. 10d. The biddings commenced at 41., and gradually went np to 1504 at which sum a Mr. M'Connoll was declared the purchaser. The above lot was sold for 475/. at the former suction, but the buyer was subsequently, to his infinite satisfaction, released from his bargain, in con sequence of misrepresentations in the rental. In the flush of ownership he had gone down to the far west to inspect his new domains, but speedily returned to town a wiser but sadder man. Lot 2-Lands containing 1,328 a. lr. 33p. statute measure, producing 461. per annum; tithe rent charge , 21. 16s. 2d. ; O r d nance va l uat i on, 7 1 / . 16s. 2d.; no head rent. This lot meld for 2801. Th e Court thn adjourned to the 7th of January. THE BLEHNTON ESTATES. The sale of the Newtownstewart division of these estates, comprising that town and four other townlands, containing altogether about 2,000 acres, and producing about 1,400/, per annum, which was sold in August last for 23,000/., was re-opened yesterday before Master Litton. In last term an application was made to the Court by Mr. Fulton, an English barrister, who offered 1,000/. more for the property, at which sum it was re-set up. Mr. Baird, of Derry, the former pur chaser, and several other gentlemen, bid beyond this figure, and finally the lot was knocked down to Mr. Baird for 26,0501. The new proprietor is an eminent merchant and magistrate of Londonderry. He had previously bought other large portions of the Bleisintoa estates, and now stands the largest purchaser of the Tyrone property. THE CREDITORS OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES.-During the hearing of an application in the Encumbered Court yesterday, respecting an estate in the county of Kil kenny, the sale of which has been reserved, pending the decision of the Master of the Rolls regarding the title of the inheritor, Mr. Commissioner Longfield made a very remarkable announcement. He stated that already the sales of estates in that court amounted in value to 1,200,000/., and that there was not one estate in ten of the whole number which yielded a sum sufficient to pay the creditors. The Learned Commissioner added, in reference to the particular estate under consideration, that so long back as 1813, the late inheritor had encum bered the estate beyond redemption; and although he knew, for he could not have been ignorant of the fact, that he could not establish a clear title to a single acre he possessed, yet he still went on raising money by further encumbrances, and kept a pack of buckhounds to the day of his death. ENGLISH AND SCOTCH PURCLIASERS.-In the Encum bered Estate Court yesterday, in the case of the vaulu able-istate of Colonel Stewart, of Killymoone, county of Tyrone, Mr. Gaussen applied for liberty to engage the services of Messrs. Stewart, Pim, and Kincaid, on such terms as the Commissioners would approve, with a view to bringing this property to an advantageous sale. Dr. Langfield said the Commissioners thought it would be well to employ Messrs. Stewart, Pim, and Kincaid, be ' cause their services would be advantageous in bringing the property to sale; add for his part, had he an estate for sale he would certainly avail himself of their ser vices. Messrs. Stewart, Pim, and Kincaid were then appointed to conduct the valuation and sale.
