Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium
Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates,
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital--500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and t 3 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
'rhe difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
'remium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
Mat. 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 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 tor 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 tii• 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 eac
tt
h
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the ne
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 3s per cent, without the Average Clime.

THE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851.
Bow few of the vis'tors of the Great Industrial Exhibition
Will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to
Produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that no v
trace the Crystal Pal .ce ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind,
~Yyr many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have,
"°,ll as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the
Works upon which their whole energies have been expended for
months perhaps their whole means cab ousted ! The Crystal
Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; but the
Woaders•there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties
Unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce.
ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Art,
Science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would
Progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry sea
at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering
care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi-
tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may
be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be
achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It
was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. 3104 ES and SON to
enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun-
dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only
employ tens. Is must be obvious to all rea,aninx men that under
the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might
clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON
can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But
they hay. the satisfaction to know that the more caoit at they can
Use, sad the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the
industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant
Payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an
article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price, thin has
ever een poduced befe. But the conseence of emyin a
largebcapital and numberosr of people does not q
eund in the mere fact of
low Prices ; 'or these very low prices for good clothing enable
sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices
prevailing Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their
system of trading it was impossible t) obtain good cheap clothing ;
now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good
clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can dress
well—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration
Of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their
own fires, and their servants' livery, if it were only for th oppor-
tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. messrs. E. MOSES
and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS,
aPpropliate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they
lave seen they will believe in the beauty and extent o' a stock and
an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do
Justice by description.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a numerously attended Court of the Com-
mon Council of the city of London was specially held
in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, in consequence of a
requisition to consider a motion by Mr. Thomas Dakin,
which stood upon the business paper as follows:—" That
this Court do petition the House of Commons, praying
the House to pass a Bill to incorporate the Great Central
Gas Consumers' Company, so as to insure to the citizens
of London a permanent supply of cheap and pure gas."
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took the chair at
one o'clock precisely, at which period a large number
of members were present. Throughout the whole of the
proceedings, which lasted upwards of three hours, the
strangers gallery was crowded, the most intense inte-
rest. appearing to prevail during the entire sitting.
The memorial to the Lord Mayor, which was signed
by 85 members of the court, having been read by Mr.
Woodthorpe,
Mr. DAKIN said that he regretted that a matter of so
much interest to the citizens of London had not fallen
for its advocacy into better and more able hands. The
question was, however, of deep importance. The Bill
fur the incorporation of the company had been read a
second time in the House of. ommons, and on Thursday
next it was expected that it would be committed.—
(Hear, bear.) He regarded the members of that court
as the representatives and guardians of the citizens ;
and, therefore, in order to show the necessity
which existed for the adoption of the proposition he
had had the honour to make, ho would briefly trace the
history of the gas movement. It was first in that
court that he had become acquainted with the grievances
of the citizens with regard to the price of gas, and
feeling the truth of the statements which were made,
he bud become identified with the movement. Sub-
sequently came the reference of the matter to the Court
of Sewers—the calling in Of the City solicitor, the re-
port made by that gentleman recommending the COM.
missioners to purchase and manage the pipes in case the
then existing companies would nut come down, and the
refusal of those bodies, though most respectfully re-
quested by those empowered to make the application.—
(Hear, hear.) That was nt the latter end of the year
1848. In February, 1845, a meeting was held at-the
London Tavern, presided, over by Mr. Dillon, when it
was decided to apply again to the companies. Still they
refused; and on the sth 'of April next following it was
stated that they could not afford to reduce the price per
thousand.—(Hear, hear.) Finding that there was no
chance of redress unless the consumers took the matter
into their own hands, steps for that purpose were accord-
ingly taken, and if that had not been done the struggle
for monopoly would have been tkept up even to that
hour. What was the first' answer given by
the companies to the Court of Sewers ? That
they (the directors of the companies) could not
reduce the price of the private lights without adding
to that of the public li trtil, What followed? Why,
when they found thattehe new company was making
head, they consented to l,educe it to 4s. per thousand;
and when they still further saw the danger arising from
their folly, they further offered a reduction from 4s. to
3s. 6d, and to 35., so soft as their surplus profits enabled
them, after paying a dividend of 10 per cent. Any one,
however, who cousidureathaf if in 1847 there was a re-
turn of 200,0001., and, in 1849, 300,0001., the additional
100,000/., at 10 per cent,, would effectually make the
4i., both minimum and Maximum. Thus it would he
found that by clinginim a stated capital, even to this
Hour, anything like fair Perms had been prevented from
being come to.—(Hear, hear.) Then, with regard to
the proposal to bind ?fieffnselves by et of Parliament
to carry out the agreement with the Commissioners of
Sewers for five years; why this was an insult to the now
company, and also tb the gas consumers, who sought a
permanent reductioa.-:--(Heer.) The proposed " amal-
gamation" had turned upon the words " undertaking"
to be valued, instead'of " works" and good-will, by as-
certained rule. With regard to the Great Central Gas
Consumers' Company, all he (Mr. Dakin) need say was,
that so far as their 'private interests, as shareholders,
were concerned, they were perfectly satisfied.—
(Loud cries of Hear, hear.") Their capital was
ruined and their works erected; they had with them a
large body of the consumers, and their profits
were so ample that, after paying in future 10 per
cent. they would have a handsome surplus in hand.
They had, therefore, nothing to gain by procuring
an Act of Parliament, in a pecuniary sense he meant; but
they felt it to be their duty to the citizens of London to
ask for such an-Act of the Legislature, because as they,
the shareholders, bad the advantages of the position they
had been permitted to take, the directors of the company
thought it to be but fair that the benefits of the company
should be secured by such an Act to the consumers,—
(Cheers.) Mr. Cardwell,
11, the chairman of the committee
on the Bill, had,
on the part of that Committee, said
that the ..question that the preamble to the Bill was
proved, had been put and' agreed to, and that the deci-
sion of the Committee was unanimous." This being the
case they did not labour under the slightest doubt but
that they should obtain the Aot of incorporation with-
out difficulty. g
supposin they did, however, would that
add to their profits? No; it was sot for that purpose.
Would it increase their power or freedom of action? It
would not, for it was a highly-restrict .
ive Bill.—(Hear,
hear.) They could not increase the price beyond 4s per
1,000 cubic feet; the dividend could not exceed 10 p- or
cent. If the profits exceeded 10 per_er t., the price of gas
was to be reduced. There was a penal c aus e (No. 35)which
provided that if they were found furnishing gas of an
inferior quality, the parties might be amerced in a fine
hThe corporation also
of 100/. for every such Offence•
were to appoint persons to test t e
.I).urity of the gas—
gas;while the payment of
to appoint also inspectors of
such persons would fall upon the Great Central Com-
pany.—(Hear.) The Bill, be (Mr, Dakin) would re-
mind the Court, had been agreed to by the officer of
the Court—the Remembrancer, whose instructions were
that nothing inconsistent with the interests of the public
were introduced into it. As to the way in which the
directors of the company
had performed their pro-
mises, he might say
they had done so faithfully.—
(Hear.) Their object
upon the present occasion was to
protect the citizens—not to multiply their own profits,
nor increase their own means of aggrandisement. He
therefore begged the Court to petition in favour of the
Bill. The memorial in its favourethitadn gbeeeeinnsisgt it hadnedby
10,500 gas consumers, while the petition
only received 100 or 200 signatures.—(Hear, hear.)
He had now (very imperfectly, he feared) discharged
his duty; still be hoped that what he had said would
be sufficient to show that the Bill, in favour of which
be asked the Court to petition, was one in which
great public interests were involved, and that was
a protection of the rights of the citizens.—(Hear, hear.)
Strife and contention he abhorred; they were not genial
with his nature; and it was to him a great comfort to
know that such things, with regard to gas matters at
least, would soon be put a atop to. He trusted the Court
would agree with his motion, and that they would join
in mutual friendship. All he asked for the anxious
labours of the last two years was the aymathy of those
