The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportionn
i`remium 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.
rho true rate' of • Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted -n, 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 Aver ige, the Premium will be 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 Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 35. per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debut-

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.

TEDDINGTON, the Winner of the DERBY.

The morning was lovely, the course was well crowded,
Though Phoebus was sometimes a little bit clouded,
When thirty-three starters set off for the race,
And we breathless looked out to see which had a place.
But soon there was shouting, the race it was done,
The field was well beaten, the favourite won ;
They may call it good jockeyship, mettle, or luck,
,But the Teddington horse beat the Marlborough Buck.
The Derby is always the day to be dressed
3n the height of the fashion—in clothes of the best ;
And for rears have the principal leaders of ton
Sported clothing they had of E. MOSES and SON;
Which accounts for the elegant fashions they sport,
Of the very best make and the very best sort.
In the great race of fashion E. MOSES and SON
Have always been favourites—always have won.
They have passed all that started before on the road,
And have left them behind, vainly trying their mode.
They've distanced all others that after them hied,
And their good constitution for years have been tried.
You may try all the tailors in town if you will,
E. MOSES and SON will be favourites still.
The thousands who buy of them clothing complete,
Will not fail t• aver that they never were beat.
Then hurrah for the favourites, they who have won—
The Teddingtou horse of E. MOSES and SON.

TILE LATE MURDER NEAR LEIGH.
The adjourned inquest was held on Friday, before
Mr. Rutter, coroner, at the Greyhound Inn, Bedford,
but, as will be seen by the subjoined evidence, no further
facts have as- yet been obtained to bring the offence home
to the real perpetrators.
John Green, being sworn, said—l reside at Astley,
and keep a beershop. I was going up the lane last
Wednesday night but one, with Thomas Collier, about
a quarter-past ten o'clock. I was smoking my pipe when
we met the, deceased, George. Green. I have often
traded with him. I turned back with him to see if I
Could have it bit of trade with him. As we came up the
road I went into Mr. Darlington's saw-yard, and he
(the deceeied) wept to the house to get a gill of beer.
I came afterwards to the canal bridge with him, with
some chips in my band. I told him I would sell him
some manure, and allow him 3d. a ton if he would
give me 7s. a ton for it, and be told me
to see him on the following afternoon. I left
him at the bridge, and I never saw him after. We
had agreed to meet the neat day about the manure.
When I left him he went straight down the lane, and I
could not see which way he went. Re was not drunk,
but he had had a few gills. He had two ways to go—
either along the canal bank or over the fields. If he had
gone over the canal bank he could not have gone near
the pit where he was found. I then went home, but
afterwards went out again, smoking my pipe. ,and met
John Smith, who lives close to my, house. I stopped
talking to Smith a quarter of an hour in the Jane. When
I piFted 'with Smith, I stopped at the end of the house
until John Guest, known by the name of "Captain,"
came up. When I left George Green on the bridge I
did not see any one about. The most direct road for the
deceased to get to his house would have been past the pit
in which he was found.

This being the only wit9ess able to give any satis-
factory evidence, it was suggested by Captain Shepherd,
superintendent of the county police, that if the inquiry
was closed at once, the police would no doubt be abie to
pursue their investigations with more facility. The co-
roner and also the jury acquiesced in this suggestion,
and a verdict was returned of " Wilful murder by some
person or persona unknown."—Manchester Courier.

Powers' statue of Calhoun constitutes a prominent
object of interest to the visitor in Charleston. It occupies a
very unfortunate position in a cheerless apartment of the
City Hall. "It would be unfair to form an opinion of it as
a work of art," says a paper quoted by the Literary World,
" while it stands in so bad a light, to say nothing of its
discolouration by the salt water, and its mutilation in the
loss of the right arm. The figure, however, is very noble,
and the likeness well nigh perfect."—By the way, amongst a
number of capital daguerreotype likehesses of American ce-
lebrities, in the U. S. division of the International Exhibi-
tion, there is oEe of Calhoun: a lunge weird-locking
