Capital--500,000/.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.

fhe difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
'rendum 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
tifferent Established Companies have not beep 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-
Iroached 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 Ibis 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, ftom time to titre, 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 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.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Aet of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future in-
surers a I ,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 Assurances hereafter effected.
The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been wade Septen-
nially will In future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi-
sions to be declared in June 18;5, 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, !he
reversionary Bonuses added to-the polices from one half the profits
amounted, en an average of the different aces, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the
four sentennial divist,ns exceeded 770,0001. . .
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra 'Premiums 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 Lite Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided 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
-n 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),
~etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Ilead Office ; and
ilso by the Agents in the Country Districts.

The FOURTH 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.lreland—one for 500/. 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" let of Jnne, 1249, 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 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6e.
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 Ist 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. le., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15a. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 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 Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Partsis, Evequo
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An,
naities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverends hairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, d Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

i
conditions in health, and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
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 consulted % ith ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired ix youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and exigence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM, SHREWSBURY AND
CHESTER, AND GREAT WESTERN COMPANIES, —We
have just been informed that the Great Western Com-
pany are about to propose an agreement with the
Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and
Chester Companies, which would be tantamount to a
lease of the two latter by the former company. The
proposed terms, after paying interest on debenture debt
and preference shares, are-
-3 per cent. in the year 1852;
3 per cent. in the year 1853;
3 per cent. in the year 1854; and either
3 or 4 per cent. in the year 1855; and, if the former,
4 per cent. in the year 1856.
The three companies to be amalgamated from the Ist of
January, 1856, or 1857, into one company, receiving
stock in the amalgamated company for their shares on
the basis of their proportionate net earnings during the
year 1855 or ]856, after payment of all fixed charges,
including interest on debentures and preference shares.
The above objects to be carried out by Act of Par-
liament,
THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE RAILWAY.—We under-
stand that.the directors of this company are in the daily
expectation of receiving a concession from the Belgian
Governmen*, which will place the line on a very different
footing from what it has hitherto stood on.
STAFFORDSHIRE AND SHROPSHIRE RAILWAY.—His
Honour Master Richards has deferred judgment in Mr.
Archibald's case, is this matter, to give that gentleman
an opportunity of proving, by the production of wit-
nesses, that he had authority from the board of directors
to remove the funds from the Commercial Bank.
SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS.—The London and North-
Western, Chester and Holyhead, South-Eastern, and
other railways, are petitioning to be heard in Committee
against the proposed submarine telegraphs, on the
around, it is understood, that the latter propose in their
Bills to obtain exclusive privileges along the railways of
the kingdom.

Holland and Son, Mary lebone-street, St. James's, and
13, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. A bookcase wads
to form one end of a room. The material is walnut,
richly and minutely carved. In the centre is a cavity
for a fireplace which is of red Mona marble, with a
green dragon fitted in it. Over the fireplace are three
niches, with green and red marble foliage panels. At
each side of these niches is a space for books, with
brass doors lined with crimson velvet. Besides each
of these doors is a pedestal for statuary. Behind
these are pilastres exquisitely carved, representing
the vine stern and grapes, and boys with baskets
gathering the grapes. At the base are snakes, and
lizards, and dragons, with some of which boys ore
having contests; and on the stem are birds, butter-
flies, moths, and lizards. Under these pedestals are
panda inlaid with green and red marble, and bosses
of real marble. The whole is surmounted with
a pediment, which is also minutely carved. The

extreme length of this magnificent piece of furniture
is 20 feet 8 inches; height, 13 feet 10 in. Its con-
struction has employed 25 men since September last,
and its cost has not been leas than 1,6001. A consols
table and glass. This is a more showy article even
than the book-case. The design is novel and orginal.
The table is supported by gilt scrollwork, with mirrors
so arranged as to represent a sheet cf water, at the
edge of which are the water lily, tho lotus, and the
bullrush, and children playing on horns, kettle drums,
and other instruments, all gilded in variegated gold.
The table is in imitation marble, and above it is a'
magnificent mirror, about 8 feet 4 inches in height,
and about 7 feet in its greatest breadth. At the bot-
tom, at each side of the frame, is a stork: supporting
the frame which is made to represent the water lily
and the lotus, and other aquatic plants intwined, all
gilded with variegated gold, and the whole surmounted
with a cluster oeballrushes. The total height is 12
feet 4 inches

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.
On 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 Ilse 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 aide; 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.

There are also fifteen pairs of ladies' scissors, repre-

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. here 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
