Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —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 in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
treat, 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
lifferent 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-
,n•oached through Classification and verage, 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 less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
's largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Averege, the Premium will be preportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tide, adopt such rates of Premium as the
oature 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 fitly per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
Seen in force for three years. . .

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In-
surers a 1.,w Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a
moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de-
rived from all Assttrances hereafter effected.
The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen-
nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi-
sions to be declared in June 1835, when all participating policies
which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will
be allowed to share in the profits.
At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the
reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one-half the profits
amounted, en an average of the different ages, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the
four sentennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RI,KS.—The extra Premluma required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies; and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have 'been materially reduced.-
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of tnetr values, pro-
cided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
Attained in each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
in the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same
snow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
oetween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
ilso by the Agents in the Country Districts.

ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET. LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURT El ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the PrOprie-
tore of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 260/.—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 from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
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,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d.,, pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. Ild.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I ls. 10d. 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 l'Etang, 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-
unities 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 future prospects.

Hunter, Edwin, Broomhall-street, Sheffield. A display
of scissors in a glass case, 4 ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 6 in.,
with a carved oak frame, containing 230 pairs of
scissors of every size and pattern, grouped and
mounted upon a white ground. The centre object is
a pair of huge scissors, 22 inches long, the bows and
shank representing in outline two crowns, the upper
one surmounted by a thistle. All the ornamental
work is wrought with the file, some portions of the
surface being chased. This object is by far the most
expensive pair of scissors ever produced in Sheffield.
Ou each side of these appears another pair. One
pair represents, in chasing, the bruising of the serpent's
head; in the centre is wrought out with the file the
Prince of Wales's feathers, and the bow is constituted
of the emblematic group of the shamrock, rose, and
thistle, and some curious scroll-work, all wrought out
with the file. The department conveying the greatest
amount of instruction to the general spectator is in the
left-hand lower corner. It illustrates the process of
the scissors manufacture in ten distinct stages: 1. A
plain piece of steel; 2. The mood, after the first pro-
cess of forging; 3. The forging complete; 4. Filed;
5. Bored and sharpened; 6. Ground; 7. Bow got up;
8. Fitted; 9. Glazed; 10. A finished pair of ordinary
barber's scissors. Over these objects there are spe-
cimens of print, woman's shaping, drapers', and nail
scissors, all glazed; a pair of dandy's whisker scissors,
with a comb fabricated at one side; a variety of lamp
scissors, vines, flower gatherers, pruning and slide
pruning shears, and horse trimmers, all with very long
stems; massive tailors' shears and American ditto.
The right-hand side of the case is headed with speci-
mens of fancy shaping and banker's paper scissors, hair
and nail scissors, and a great variety for gentlemen's
dressing-cases. In the centre of this side the most
striking object is a pair of 16-inch fancy nail scissors,
ornamented with etching; these, as their immense size
suggests, are designed only for show. Beneath them
is a group of surgeons' scissors, carved, angular, and
distorted into every imaginable shape, for diffi-
cult operations. Included in the foregoing are
all the ordinary and most useful varieties.
The remainder, comprising about one-third of
the whole collection, are all more or less or-
namented with the file and the process of chasing.
Amongst them are a complete set of ladies' chatelaine
scissors, and about a dozen pairs representing different
kinds of birds, the blades being the bill, the stems
forming the legs, and the centre representing the body.
There are also fifteen pairs of ladies' scissors, repre-
senting effigies of the eagle, swan, peacock, pheasant,
butterfly, &c.; besides a lot of fancy shaping and mis-
cellaneous scissors. All the interstices are filled up
with an endless variety of useful ornamented scissors,
including some of the smallest kinds used by artificial
flymakers. Amongst the curiosities there is a pair of
scissors which, when closed, are exactly in the form
of a dagger, and the joints are so delicately finished
as to be quite imperceptible. Another pair represents
" The Iron Duke" on horseback, in military costume,
politely bowing to an acquaintance
