Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and S Tict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk is 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 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 be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The tree rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree 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 propertioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of rrenalam as the
mature 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 flay 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 as. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

ri
t BUDGET.—In noticing the most momen-
-4,,, tour 'question of the day, the all-absorbing question of the
'c'e shall not pause at the outset to consider whether it does or
east assimilate with the general wish, but shall merely remark
lts,a,PPY the man who can produce a budget embracing the inte-
!trb," all, and thrice happy he wbe can produce one affording
Satisfaction. Men of the largest and most extended talents
hitherto failed in this achievement, and to E. MOSES and SON
dlq e reserved the happy lot to accomplish this consummation so
Isished for.
'h
Sg 1:1,1le Arranging their Budget for 1851, E. MOSES and SON at
declaret they had no new discoveries to make, no contend-
b!rests to reconcile, no laborious task to carry out ; they have
il;.`,to pursue without deviation their old and successful course,
itti— e best and most approved material in every department of
klaZarled manufactures, to employ the greatest possible amount of
Srt,,,nical skill, and to effect sales so extensive as to make the
(Eito shadow of a shade of profit amply suffice. Without entering
of necessity too voluminous to be interesting, but for
4tid they refer their own valued public to their stock, they boldly
bl4'' hesitatingly declare they have produced a Budget, at once em-
klt„l the interests of all, and, at the same time, one which will
Ct ,
universal satisfaction. For where the national wants have
!(Osit,„

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Although the lowest rates of premium consistent 'With security
have been charged by the Office, it has for many years been enabled
to make very large re turns to septennial Insurers.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The important advantages offered by the plan and constitution of
the Life Department of this Society are—
That Insurers are protected by a large invested capital, upon which
there is no interest to pay, and for which no deduction of any kind
is made, which enables the Directors to give the whole of the Profits
to insuring members.
That the Profits are divided annually amongst all mere bers of five
years' standing, and applied towards reducing life insurance to the
lowest possible rates of premium.
The following table exhibits the Abatement of Premium that has
been made for the past nine years to members of five y ears' stand-
ing :
