Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 55, Wall-Street.  PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE. THE Corporation of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law; the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the publick. *No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. No. I.  HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. II.  HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. III.  HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. IV.  HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar-Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufacturers that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated, the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy other than what they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or Interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid. VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall be void, and be of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make out, whether any and what other Insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss; that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person so insured; and do know, or are satisfied, that he, she, or they, really, and by permission, and without fraud or will practice, was insured by such Company, and that the amount insured was just and reasonable, and such loss or damage was justly and fairly made, and the true and just amount thereof; and that the said person or persons, at the time of making such insurance, was or were, the true and just owners of the property so insured.

Genuine Patent and Family Medicines, Celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the human frame is liable. Prepared by T. W. DYOTT, M. D. THE CELEBRATED  Stomachic Elixir of Health. (Price one dollar and Fifty Cents) Which has proved by thousands, who have experienced its beneficial effects, to be the most valuable medicine ever offered to the publick, for speedily relieving and curing the cramp, pain, and wind in the stomach and bowels, carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, fever, head ache, &c. For the dysentery or flux, cholera morbus, fever, gripings, and other diseases of the bowels, and the summer bowel complaint in children, it has proved a certain remedy, and restored to perfect health from the greatest debility. Persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints, or disorders of the breast and lungs, even in the most advanced state, will find immediate relief. Common coughs and colds, which are generally occasioned by obstruced perspiration, will be found to yield to its benign influence in a short hour. In asthma or consumptive complaints, hoarseness, wheezings, throes of breath, and the hooping cough, it will give immediate relief.
Patent Stomachic Wine Bitters. (Price One Dollar.) These celebrated and well known Bitters are composed purely of vegetables of the most innocent yet specific virtues, and are particularly recommended for restoring weak constitutions, cleansing and strengthening the stomach, and increasing the appetite; they expel worms in all ages, but from their simplicity and safety, are a most natural and effectual vermifuge, when administered to children; they are gratefully warm, and pungently aromatic; they are extremely serviceable in all fevers, but particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habit experiences such total loss of appetite; they are also a certain preventive against those complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c.
DR. ROBERTSON'S  Vegetable Nervous Cordial, OR,  Nature's Grand Restorative, Is confidently recommended as the most efficacious medicine, for the speedy relief and cure of all nervous complaints, impurities of the blood, seminal weakness, and various complaints, resulting from dissipated pleasures, residence in warm climates, the immoderate use of tea, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury, and diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life.
DR. ROBERTSON'S  Celebrated Gout & Rheumatic Drops. A safe and effectual cure for the gout, rheumatism, lumbago, stone and gravel, swellings and weakness of the joints, sprains, bruises, and all kinds of green wounds; the cramp, pains in the head, face and body, stiffness of the neck, chilblains, frozen limbs, &c.
Since the above invaluable medicines were first discovered by Dr. Robertson, upwards of Seven Hundred Thousand Persons have experienced their happy and salutary effects, many of whom from the greatest debility. These Medicines, which by being timely administered, will prevent the progress of many fatal diseases. The Proprietor wishes to afford every information relative to the efficacy of the above Medicines in a small pamphlet by exhibiting a list of exemplary cures, attested by respectable characters, for the satisfaction and encouragement of the afflicted:—for which purpose such cures have been selected at different times and been inserted, as might display the alternative power of physick. But as the number of cases are now become so numerous, I am obliged, instead of identifying the particulars, only to print an abstract of several testimonies, referring the reader to peruse the pamphlet, left at the Book-Store of Messrs. BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk. June 5.

SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best  Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Soal and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular brief foreman—and a tolerable supervisor. He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and is a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds.
