(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office ar3—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of rist —Annual division of Proflts.

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 found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of animal 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 he 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-
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 analysis of its own
experience, from time to 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
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.

The FOURTH. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at Ono o'clock precisely. The following Is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the. past year no claim,, have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for AM—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 front the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and
the 31st of ti ay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop, sacs were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
of these 128, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65.
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,
assuran, es were etected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I ls. 6d. (11 these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,91101. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. I Id. _ _

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. loa. only was advanced.
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 PEtang 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.
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 fitters prospects.
