COUN'T'Y }IRE OFFICE, iitt:EnT-waster.—As
the present unexampled rage for new Insurance Companies
occasions the public attention to be engaged by various attractive
nromisee, it may not be improper to remind the friends of the
COUNTY FIRE OFFICL what been performances.
The County Fire Office has beewn established upwards of
sera:item yew, ,during which time sixteen hundred sufferers have
been indemr,ified, and only one claim has been brought into a
Coln of Law, namely, that of the Thurtells.
Ratans to the amount of 4'2,0001. have been paid to all persons
who have continued insured seven years, upon annual as well a
upon septennial Policies, and whether they have been Claimants
for losses, Of otherwise—an important advantage which nu other
Insuranse Office existing has afforded.
By viOlact and prudent management, the County Office grew
rich dune% the years which were favourable for Insurance busi-
ness, and in this advantage, persons who now insure participate.
It ought also to be known, that since the establishment of the
Coast? Fire Office. besides many which have been carried on as
losing concerns: no less then eighteen New Insurance Offices have
broken up.
Several of these, which were announced under high Patronage,
and with the most captivating promises, have expired in total in-
solvency, and left the disappointed Claimants in fruitless litigation
with their Trustees and Directors. It IS not difficult to anticipate
what must be the fate of the numerous new Offices which are now
proposed ; and now that their funds are not improvable, at half
their (trifler rate of interest, are out.bidding each other in extrava-
gant promisee upon reduced means. Those who are aware of the
roe
confusion and misery which have resulted from the numu fad.
ures of insurance Adventures--and the probability that such
failures will soon recur more extensively than ever—will not hesi-
tate to choose, between realized benefits and untried promises.

NAMES WATER COMPANY.—At a MEETING
T
bald the Nth of October, Inl, at the Albion Tavern, Ableni-
pts4treet, fur the purpose of " considering the expediency of IMF
Vlbliahing a Company for supplying the Metropolis with rare
Water from the River 'Thames."

..
it was resolved---
net It hes long been matter of just complaint throughout the
erstroptlia, that the supply of water is of inferior mislay fur do.
rustic use, besides being uncertain, and very genteelly insufficient
foe the ordinary consumption.
That this uncertainty and irsnfficieney have occasioned numerous
arid horny losses of property, by reason of the imptssibility of ob.
Paining a supply of water in cases of fire, for many hours after the
arrival of engines.
That it is most essential to the safety of the inhabitants of this
sat metropolis, that there should be a boundless and constant
supple of water, end equally so to their comfort and health that it
alleluia be of unexceptionable purity.
That in consequence of the great intense of population in the
weighbourboed of London and Westminster. and the establishment
of manufactories of various kinds on the batiks of the Thames, by
which the stream is constantly polluted and rendered unwholesome.
k is impossible to draw a supply of pure eater from any part of
the river near to the metropolis. . . .

That Mr. Philip Taylor, having laid before this meeting the re-
mit of the surveys, and the estimate which he has prepared by
order of the pmmeters of this undertaking, it is the opinion of this
meeting, that, by tile adoption of the plat; proposed by him, a
boundless supply of water, drawn fmni a part of the river Thames
so distant as to preclude the possibility of pollution. may be fur-
nished even to the attics of the highest situations in the metro..
piths, that in the event of fire that supply will always be instantly
available in every part of the town, and may he carried in an over-
whelming column to the top of the highest houses. even without
the aid of fire-engines; and further, that it appears likely that this
plan may he carried into execution at an expense which would en-
able the Company to furnish the supply upon terms in no case ex-
ceeding those of other Companies, and in many cases. and particu-
larly where the water is carried to any considerable height, at much
lower rates than are now charged, and also secure to the Proprietors
a liberal return for the eapital to be investtd.
That application be made to Parliament, at the next Session, for
an Act to incorporate a Joint Stock Company, under the title of
" The Thames Water Company." to carry into effect these im-
portant objects.
That the Capital of the said Company be 730,0001., to he raised
by transferrable shares of 1001. each, with power to increase the
tame; and that a deposit of 21. per share be paid at the time of
inbatibing; and that Alears. Glyn, Mills, Hallifax, Glyn, and
Co, and Sir Walter Stirling, Bart. and Co., be authorized to re-
tort the same.
That the C..)IICIFII‘ of the Company be managed by Twenty-four
Directors, to he litrenfter chosen by the body of Proprietors.
That Mr. Philin Taylor be appointed Engineer to the Company,
tad that he be requested forthwith to prepare the estimates and de-
Udis which are farther recesrary.
That it be referred to a Committee of Management to investigate
She Nether deitil,atid eattatates, and to take such other steps as
MN/ appear to them tbe necessary.
