EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,000/.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. HO.)
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each clans of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
rremium 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 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-
?roached 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 true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as tire, 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 Avenge. the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire ()Mee 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 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 iipcn

Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURT 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 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 200/.—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, 1549, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number Issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 134 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,045/., 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. 123- 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 5. 4 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. lid.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. lis. 103. 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 Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parties, 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 establi
ultshs -
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present res
and future prospects.

itself, which, as stated in an able review in the " Times," " Is
necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general
rule, is an advantage, and It may be said to contain no superfluous
pages whatever." The Directory was characterised by the
" Examiner" as " a perfect marvel of arrangement, accuracy, and

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF COMMONS, April 30.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL.
Upon the motion for going into Committee on this
Bill,
Mr. NICHOLLS objected to the principle of the Bill,
which he contended was nothing more than making
South Wales the scene of experiment. He should op-
pose going into Committee on the Bill, and if that were
unsuccessful, be should move to except the county of
Glamorgan from its operation.
Mr. W;WILLIAM.S thought there was no more ne-
cessity for this Bill in South Wales than any other part
of the kingdom.
After a short discussion on the propriety of extending
the Bill to England,
Sir G. TYLER rose to move that the House should
go into Committee that day six months.
Viscount EMLYN said that as the Government Bill
was not likely to be introduced at any early period, and
as far as his experience went, it was evident that no
time could be fixed for any Bill of any kind, he
had therefore determined to introduce his own Bill.
—(Hear.) He had at first intended to bring forward
a general Bill, or some one which would load to a general
Bill. His regard had been especially directed to the dis-
trict of South Wales, which was especially deficient in
the means by which a freedom of highways could he
carried out. He should, therefore, persevere to a divi-
sion, and he hoped that the House would be with him.
Mr. C. LEWIS said that, although he objected to
many of the details, he did not object to the plan on
which it was to be carried out. The details were incon-
sistent with the principles, and coneNnently no perma-
nent good could be eSected w'.,tl;out a.,--eat alteration in
the mode by which the provisiems of the Bill were to be
carried out; however, he did not oppose the principle of
the Bill, for he thought that it would be eminently bene-
ficial, but it might be still more serviceable if its advan-
tages were made more general. He should, therefore,
reserve himself for the Committee.
Mr. VIVIAN said that in his opinion the whole of
the management had better be left to the county magis-
trates.
The motion was negatived without a division.
The House then resumed, when
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the whole of the business
ought to be borne in mind. It would greatly affect the
Bill to which the Government had already given its
sanction.
Sir BENJAMIN HALL said that whatever the Hon.
Member for Lambeth might say, there would at least be
a great grievance inflicted upon the agricultural, and he
might say upon every part of the community.
After a few observations from Mr. C. LEWIS,
Sir F. LEWIS expressed his opinion that this Bill,
although defective in several points, was calculated to be
of great public benefit.
Lord EMLYN said that it would be cf benefit if the

Mr. HUME said that he had repeatedly drawn the

the whole of his exertions had been mot with a put off.
What ho wanted was a comprehensive measure. The
fact was that the whole affair ought to be taken up by
the Government.

The House having resumed, Mr. Hum: and Lord
EMLYN made several observations on the sth clause, after
which the clause was passed without a division.
The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the
report was ordered to he brought up this day w...ek.
LODGING-HOUSES BILL.
This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed this day week.
FARM BUILDINGS BILL.

Mr. B. COCHRANE moved the second reading ce
this Bill, the object of which was to enable proprietors
of land to borrow money fur the erection of farm
buildings.
Mr. TRELAWNY considered that the Bill would
have an injurious tendency.
After a few observations from Mr. MULLINGS,
Mr. HUME said he objected to the proposal that
landed proprietors should be enabled to borrow money
under the previsions of the Bill without paying the
stamp duty; if they were to be relieved of this duty the
exception ought to extend to other classes. He thought
the measure would have the effect of doing a great in-
justice to successors to estates by placing additional
burdens upon them.
Mr. MILES opposed the Bill.
The House then divided, when there appeared—

SUNDAY TItADING PREVENTION BILL.
Petitions against the Bill were presented by Mr.
,WAKLEY and Mr. BARING WAtL.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the House go into
Committee upon the Bill.
Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion. He had been on
the Committee which had sat en the Bill, and ho was
'sorry to say that he could not congratulate the Com-
mittee on its handiwork. The Bill was, in fact, the
result of a mixture of Sabbatical fanaticism, and
a desire on the part of shopkeepers in certain dis-
tricts to crush the efforts of their poorer brethren.
There was an exception made in the Bill with regard to
milk and cream, which was allowed to be sold on Sun-
days before ten in the morning and after one in the after-
;loon; and he should like to know why greater regard
was to be shown to the soul of the fishmonger than the
out of the milkman. Club-houses were exempted en-
tirely from the operation of the Bill, as were also pub-
licans. These were only some of the inconsistencies of
the Bill. But the must tyrannical and objectionable
lause of the Bill was the 7th, which gave a judicial
power to policemen to decide, on their own discretion,
whether a party had committed an offence under the in-
tended Act, and to seiz3 the whole property of some
miserable hawker or dealer, which might happen
to be of a very perishable nature. It was
true that a magistrate had 'the power after-
wards of, restoring the property, bat in the mean time
it might become worthless. The statement in the pre-
amble, that legislation on this sebject was necessary,
was altogether unfounded. In all'the principal districts
of the metropolis Sunday trading had considerably de-
Creased, or remained stationary. There had been no in-
crease in the borough of Lambeth, which was repre-
isented by the proposer of the Bill. Sunday trading,
however, was carried on somewhat largely by persons
of the Jewish persuasion, who had a Sabbath and
holidays of their own. Their Sabbath, last, and other
days, which they most religiously observed and on
which they abstained from labour, amounted altogether
to sixty-six days in the year, and the effect of the Bill
would be to compel them to make fifty-two more holi-
days; in fact, to withdraw from them, altogether,
four calendar months out of the twelve. The
Honourable Member for Darnbeth had said that
the Bill was as much his (Mr. Anstey's) as his
own; he wished he would adhere to that statement, and
allow him (Mr. Anstey) to withdraw the Bill; in that
case the House would never hearer it again.—(Laughter.)
If he were defeated on the present occasion he should
Oppose it in every stage of its future progress. The
on. Member concluded by
moving that the Bill go into
Committee on this day six months.
• Mr. BARING WALL hoped that the Hon. Member
for Lambeth did not beriously intend to go into Com-
mittee to-day. If the Bill went into Committee
he should move that it should be made a
general instead of a local measure. He depre-
cated that sort of bastard legislation which
Wiled to particular districts, and prevented the
people knowing under what law they lived.
The next amendment he should propose would have re-
ference to the times mentioned in the Bill for the sale of
articles. There were many other amendments which he
intended to make, in order to remove the anomalies in
the Bill. He concluded by seconding the amendment.
Mr. LEONARD moved that the debate be adjourned.
Mr. ANSTEY seconded the motion.
The gallery was then cleared for a division, but on
our return we found that it had been agreed to adjourn
the debate until this day fortnight.
CORONERS' BILL.
On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. FITZROY recommended that the Bill should be
postponed until the country was made acquainted with
its provisions.
Mr. ESTCOUR e agreed to postpone the Bill, and 'the
motion for the second reading was withdrawn.
The other orders of the day having been disposed; of,
House adjourned shortly before Six o'clock.

ST ATE OF TRADE
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MINCIIESTER.---The Baltic arrived in the Mersey
last night, with advices showing a further decline of i to ,
io f a cent per lb. in the price of cotton at New York.
A telegraphic announcement from New Orleans shows
that a quarter of a cent had been lost there from the 6th
to the 9th of April, bUt was regained by the 12th,
through the influence of improved accounts received 'by
the Africa from this ' country. Some of the other
southern markets had, undergone a similar variation.
From the New York list, dated April 16, we take the fol-
lowing particulars of increase as compared with 181.5 :
Bales.
Total increase of receipts at ports ... ... 171,926
Week's increase ... ... ." ••• ••• 8,530
Total increase of exports to Great Britain ... 183,287
Week's increase ... ..• ••• ••• ••• 18 605
Increase of stock at the ports •.. ••• ••• 4,923
Increase of stock in interior towns ..• ... 28 330
But, as only a portion of the week's receipts at New Or-
leans had been reported, the total excess was estimated
at 180,000 bales. This ,was expected to reach 200,000
bales, and then a gradual decrease is looked for. As these
accounts are taken to be more decisively indicative than
the preceding ones of a progress to a lower level of prices,
we have experienced nn increased depression in every de-
partment of our market to-day. Goods have not been
saleable, except at lower prices in general than those of
last week; the buyers have held decidedly aloof from busi-
neas, and very little has been done. The medium and
lower numbers of yarn have given way ftbou; id. per-lb.

in bundles, and d. to id. in warps and cops. Spinners
have effected only an inconsiderable amount of sales;
they have, however, in various instances, declined offers
of very fair extent, from Continental and India merchants,
because of a difference not exceeding *d. per lb. As
might be expected, great irregularity is found in the
quotations for yarns and goods. It becomes mere evi-
dent that the production of printing cloths, long cloths,
T cloths, and domestics is in the course of diminution.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The Flannel market has been
dull, and a limited amount of business has been trans-
acted to-day, at prices much the same as those of the
preceding week. Wool has undergone no change in
price, but the dealers complain of having very little
to do.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for manu-
factured goods has not undergone any improvement
since our last; the recent reductions in the prices of
raw and thrown silks having produced a decidedly.
prejudicial effect with buyers. In thrown transac-
tions aro somewhat rare, notwithstanding that prices
have been somewhat reduced to a standard compatible
with those of the raw material. This may probably be
attributed in part to the approach of the new silk crop
on the continent, which, as it may prove favourable or
otherwise, will undoubtedly exercise a great degree of
influence for the time being.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—To-clay we have had an
average market; a fair business has been done in the
hall, though not so much as is expected generally at this
time of the year. Mixtures and black doeskins have been
most in request in the plain woollen market. The fancy
trade continues pretty brisk, and a fair business has
been done in the vesting branch to order, for the home
summer trade. Some of the export warehouses are
pretty brisk with American o►ders, but generally the
warehouses have not been ver: busy during the week.
Yarns have been in rather bat,er demand. Not much
has been done in the wool market to-day, and the ap-
proaching May sales, which are fixed for the 15th, will
have some effect upon the trade at present.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The worsted trade is still in
a languid condition, and presents no aspect of improve-
ment since our last report. The transactions in yarn are
rather more numerous; and prices are firm, though they
cannot be quoted higher. More wool has been changing
bands; and the quotations, though not advancing, ex-
hibit greater firm❑ess.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is no change to notice in
the woollen trade since last week. The markets have
been quiet, but a fair business continues to be done to
order, and there is no alteration to notice in prices.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD
RAILWAY.
(From Ucrapath's Railway Journal.)
We bad an opportunity of inspecting the line of rail-
way from and including Bangor to Holyhead during
the past week. Various subjects of interest presented
themselves for our observation, and at all events it must

be said that the new Chairman is making every effort to
redeem the premiss he made to the shareholders at
their meeting on the 18th of last month.
The spot selected at Bangor for the erection of the
weat hotel there mid-way between the " Menai" and the
Britannia" bridges. A large " spoil bank" run out
during the construction of the railway forms the actual
site, and upon it is to be raised a building that will con-
tAn the enormous number of 300 beds in thefirs I instance,
with suitable public breakfast, dinNg, and drawing-
rooms, and a proper proportion of sitting rooms for the
use of such families as prefer taking their meals in
private. One facade of the hotel, of which there wiil be
three, will look towards the Straits and the Menai-

bridge, another in a slanting direction towards the Bri.
tannin-bridge, and the third directly towards this bridge
and the Marquis of Anglesea's magnificent place " Plas-
m) wydd" on the Angleees or opposite side of the water.
Mr. Reed, of Liverpool, is the architect, and everything
is so planned that if the public require increased accom-
modation 200 more bedrooms can bo added by the con-
struction of two wings, one at the east end and the other
at the west end of the building. It would occupy too
much space to particularise the internal arrangements of
this vast structure. We shall therefore only say that
whilst they are based on the plan of the " Three Kings"
at Basle, the " Giant" at Coblents, and the " Limb" at
Vienna, the difference in the tastes and habits of Eng-
lishmen from continentalists has been fully considered
and duly provided for. It is intended that it shall be
ready for the reception of visitors in the spring of 1852.
A Herculean task, though not more than can be accom-
plished by the powers that now preside ever this railway.
The company is, fortunately for itself, the possessor of
the whole of the land between the railway and the high
road to the Straits—a distance of nearly half a mile.
There is room on this land for a small town to spring
up. It all slopes towards the water, so that crescents
and terraces can be erected throughout its entire length,
and every house would have a fine view of the bridges
and the Straits. We were informed that important
negotiation© on the subject of building are in progress,
and almost brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
During the construction of the railway and of the
Britannia•bridge, Captain Moorsom, the then resident
director, occupied a house on the left or mountain aide of
the railway, to which are attached'3o acres of land, also
the property of the company. As this land is on a still
higher elevation than the ground we have just de-
scribed, it is intended to sell it in plots of from one
to two acres for the erection of first-class detached
villas—and a more charming spot could not be
selected for such description of buildings. Its height
affords a commanding prospect towards the Straits in
every direction, and immediately at the back of this
land are some of the most picturesque walks that can be
conceived or depicted.
As the present Bangor station is about a mile and a
half from the New Hotel, a new station to be called the
Junction Station, will be erected. This will accommo-
date not only the residents at the hotel, but will be
equally convenient for the inhabitants of the villas and
terraces to bo built on the other portions of the Com-
pany's property. The Carnarvon branch (progressing
rapidly) will join the main line just opposite the hotel.
Proceeding towards the Tubular Bridge we learned
the arrangements for its inspection. The public wilt be
taken through the tubes, under the control of company's
servants, until a quarter of an hour before each train is
due. They will not be allowed indiscriminately to
walk across the outside of the tubes. The privilege is
only to be obtained under special authority, but about
twenty feet on each " land tube" is to be securely
fenced off, and the public admitted thereon. This will
enable them to see the structure just as effectively as if
they were permitted to walk across.
At Holyhead we have an example of what well-di-
rected energy will effect. The existing passenger sta-
tion of the railway is situated nearly a mile and a half
from the pier at which passengers embark for and dis-
embark from Kingstown. They themselves and their
luggage, as well as the mails and all par-
cels, have to be brought in omnibuses and
other vehicles from one point to another. The
harbour and pier branch at present in course of erection
will remedy this defect. Although its construction in-
volves a cutting a third of a mile long, and from ten
to fifteen feet deep, the demolition of eight or ten
houses, the filling up and levelling of suffi-
cient space for the erection of the new station, and
of the very complete refreshment rooms at-
tached to it, the hying down through the
harbour of a timber viaduct, half-a-mile long, which is
then continued on as a tramway at one side of the road to
the packet pier, another' half a mile in extent, yet this
harbour branch was only commenced four weeks ago, and
it is to be ready for use by the 15th of May. From and
after that date, the passengers landing from the steam-
packets will walk some thirty steps to the railway car•
riages; their luggage, the mails, and parcels will be at
once loaded, when the train will be drawn along the
tramway and viaduct by horses to the station. At the
refreshment rooms thole the passengers will find all
that they require to soothe the inward or outward man,
after the fatigues and the heart-rendings of the voyage.
The lavatories will be provided with ample supplies of
hot water and every other requisite for making a com-
fortable toilet; whilst the refreshment departments are
to be presided over by one, who, in her way, is as
great as the redoubted Soyer—the famous Mrs. Hib-
bort. We are surprised to learn that she deserts the
great cradle of her fame—Wolverton—for the classic
retirement of Holyhead harbour. Nevertheless, such is
the fact; and we will only make ono aspiration on this
change, which is, that her smiles may be as sweet, her
handmaids as charming, and her pork pies as excellent
as the trumpet of fame has proclaimed all three to have
hitherto been.
There are great expectations of the development
of an extensive coal trade with Ireland, and
ample provision for conducting it is provided in the
harbour. If the Holyhead directors can compete
successfully with the NV hitehaven coals now brought to
Ireland, it will be a famous affair for their company, for
the best house coals come from the neighbourhood cf
Chester and will have to be conveyed the whole extent
of the line. We are inclined to think that the gallant
manager of the London and North-Western Railway is
not far from the mark when be says that there is no
more profitable trade than ooals atid.apnedr
with load
exclusive of waggons for long runs,
from 180 to 200 tons. If the Holyhead Company intend
to have a large coal traffic they must not look for a
higher rate. As the harbour to ho selected for the
American packets to start from and to arrive at is now
tahlue at question of °1 interest with
nut thhoe public,out o f

breakwater, first running. north and south, and thin
yll e will
running east and west, is just one-third finished, that is,
it now extends 1,800 feet into the sea, and 3,600 feet
have yet to be coubtructod. It proceeds at the rate of
about 43 feet a week, and, taking all contingencies into
consideration, Mr. Rendell, the engineer, coneiders it will
be finished in two years. The greatest depth of this
breakwater will be 43 feet, its average depth is 35 feet.
It will be 65 feet wide at the level of high water, and 35
feet at its upper surface, which will be 15 feet above high
water level—spring tides. Whoa the whole harbour is
completed, it will comprise within it 300 acres of holding
ground, ,
with six fathoms depth of water at the lowest
spring tides.

FORTH AID CLYDE NAVIGATION.—The report by
the Governor and Council to the company of proprietors of
the Forth and Clyde Navigation, recommends the continu-
ance of a dividend at the rate of VA per cent. per annum,
less the income-tax.
