Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated tinder 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
•
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates or 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
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been totind 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.
?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 true Premium equitably payable, as
security against less 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 proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tiro 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 each

_lass of risk, and areturn of one moiety, or fltty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
heen in three 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 Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

The FOURTEI 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 follosilng is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from death§ in Englac,
and but tiato_in-Ireland—ororevoikei,antitheothetfor
together 7001., which have been paid. This is tar 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 let of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1250, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 64.:
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-
Jucing in annual premiums 3,7321. Its. 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 Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. I Id.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 101. 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 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-
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 establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

POST OF VICE LONDON DIRECTORY
SUPPLEMENT for 1851.—ONE SHILLING.
In addition to the usual supplemental matter, this pub'ication
contains the entire " Postal" and " Parliamentary Directories," ex-
actly as in the complete work; it extends to an hundred closely-
printed imperial octavo pages, and is the cheapest work which issues
from the English press. Indeed, it is sold at about the same (pro-
portionate) price as the complete "Post Office London Directory'
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
fulness of information ;" and the " Morning Herald" described it as
" an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laugh-
ing rivalry to scorn."

IMPERIAL PAI.7MAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS: April 30
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition o: yesterday.)
HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) b ILL.
Upon the motion for going into Committee en th:B
Bill,
Mr. NICHOLLS objected to the principle of the Bi
which he contended was nothing more than making
South Wales the scere of experiment. He should op-
pose going into Committee r n the Bill, and if that were
unsuccessful, ho should move to except the county of
Glamorgan from its opera ion.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought there was no more IA
cessity for this Bill in South Wales than any other part
of the kingdom.
After a short discussion on the propriety cf extendirg
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 us 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 lead to a general
Bill. His regard had been especially directedto the dis-
trict of South Wales, which was especially deficient in
the means by which a freedom of highways could be
carried out. He 'should, therefore, persevere to a divi-
sion, and ho hoped that the Reese would be with him.
Mr. C. LEWIS said that, although he objected to
many of the details, be did not object to the plan on
which it was to be carried out. The details were incon-
sistent with the principles, and consequently no perma-
nent good could be eMcted without a *mat alteration in
the mode by which the provisions 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 of benefit if the
whole of the matter were to be referred to the Govern-
ment.
Mr. HUME said that he had repeatedly drawn the
attention of the House to subjects of this nature, and
the whole of his exertions had been met with a put off.
What he wanted was a comprehensive measure. The
fact was that the whole affair ought to be taken up by
the Government.
After a few words from several other Members,
The House divided, when there appeared—
' For the motion ...
Against it

Majority .; ••• —5l
The House having resumed, Mr. MIME 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 be brought up this day week.
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 of
this Bill, the object of which was to enable proprietors
of land to borrow money for the erection of farm
buildins.
Mr. 'sTRELA.WNY considered that the Bill would
have an injurious tendency.
After a few observations from Mr. MULLINGS,
Mr. LIUME said be objected to the proposal that
landed proprietors should be enabled to borrow money
under the provisions 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, syllen*ets rezpeared—.

SUNDAY TieADING PREVENTION BILL.
Petitions against the Bill were presented by Mr.
‘VAKLEY and Mr. BARING WALL.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the House go into
Committee upon the Bill.
Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion. lie had been on
the Committee which had set en the Bill, and he 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-
noon; and he should like to know why greater regard
was to be shown to the soul of the fishmonger than the
soul 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 most tyrannical and objectionable
disuse of the Bill was the 7th, which gave a judicial
power to policemen to decide, on their own discretion,
whether a party had committed au Offence under the in-
tended Act, and to seize 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, but in the mean time
it might become worthless. The statement in the pre-
amble, that legislation on this subject 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-
sented 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, fast, and other
days, which they most religiously observed and on
*Mete 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 Lambeth 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 hear of it again.—(Laughter.)
If he were defeated on the present occasion he should
OPpOSO i: in every stage of its future progress. The
Hon. 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 eeriourAy 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
applied 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 fortNEßnight.
COROS' 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. ES COURT agreed to postpone the Bill, and the
motion for the second reading was withdrawn.
The other orders of the day having been disposed of,
the House adjourned shortly before Six o'clock.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.--The Baltic arrived in the Mersey
last 'night, with advices showing a further decline of to
ofi 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 9:h of April, but was regained by the 12th,
through the influence of improved accounts received by
the Africa from this , country. Some of the ether
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 1815:
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 iet-rior towns 28 330
But, as only a portion of the week's receipts at New Or-
leans had been repotted, the total excels was estimated
at 180,000 bales. This ,was expected to reach 200,000
bales, and then a gradual decrease is looked for. As the-se
accounts are taken to be more decisively indicative than
the preceding ones of a progress to a lower level of pricer
we have experienced an increased depression in every de•
partment of our market to-day. Goods have not been
saleable, except at lower prices in Feneral than those of
last week;. the buyers have held decidedly aloof from busi-,
ness, and very little hii lieeia done. The medium and
