EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vitt., 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
7'remium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
4reat, 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-
droached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted 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 he proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, 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 fitly 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 Pronerty on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. 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.

ASSURANCE COMPANY,
R, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.

The FOURT II ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the. Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted fror u the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Ent land.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—m eking'
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the exi meted
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 mouths preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,91;31.25. 641.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0487., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 125.. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual prertVums were
7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent. of 17,7002.,
but 1,183/. 11x. 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 Frant:e , Monsieur
de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distil -wished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assure ru :e matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Parig,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Pal 1; ds, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months efl'e cted 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, a aii returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of t establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its prt 'sent results
and future prospects.

tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relai ive
conditions in health and disease. The author, who line taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas. and testit oo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified. medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be con! allied with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquiredis youth, or by the excessei
of later years, 'whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.
