RATES OF INSURANCE.

The last winter and spring piovei most destructive to the
Underwriter's at Lio)d's ; e much so that the premiums re-
ceived by them were ivadequate to inert the " genera! and
particular averages" they were made liable for; putting alto
gether out of the question the " total losses." These circum-
stances, in conjunction with the heavy losses which are known
to hate recently occurred in the Indian Seas, and off the Cape
of Good Hope, have occasioned the Underwriters to hold some
meetings of late, the result of which has been to adopt, and
adhere in future to the Rates of Instil-Noce specified in the
subjoined list. The correctness of the statement may be
relied on.
