EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Vict., cap. HO.)

The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderato and equitable
Rates 01 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 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 approximatioa t• the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Firo 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 benus 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 Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Mice 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 fitty 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.

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

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
5, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTII 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 261:1.—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, 1249, and
the 31st of \lay, 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. 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 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing In annual premiums 3,732/. I ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. I Id.

since last meeting loans were applieci for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. lls. 10a. 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, u 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 natters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish, p of Lyons, and Monseigneur rarisis, 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 ;;;Irdron;: appro•ing 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.

BREACH OF PROMISE.

How oft do we hear of a fickle young blade,
Disappointing the hopes of his confident maid;
How many soft letters addressed to fair ribs,
Have proved in the issue a ti,sue of fib ;
How many kind sweethearts have shown by their deeds,
That, though sweet in their words, they were sore bitter weeds.
And how many a tear has been shed as a token
That promise, like p,c-crust, was made to be broken!
How many have said, when untying the band,
" lie has taken my heart, but lie won't take my hand!"
But justice steps in with a menacing carriage,
To visit the breaches of promise of marriage.
But what have those breaches of promise to do
With the tailoring warehouse of MOSES ? say you.
Stay, stay zealous reader, and don't be afraid,
For I'm commg to breaches of promise in trade.
When the public was courted by MOSES and
They offered their suit as they ought to have done :
The public, they said, was their boast and their pride,
And ever since then ,hey've been closely allied.
They promised, as suitors, in all things to suit,
And naught has created tho slightest dispute;
Their address and dresses minutely agree,
And honour, strict honour, at all times we see.
The public perceiving how matters were planned,
Have taken E. MOSES and SON by the hand ;
Asts wed,
And said.

DEATH OF DR. KENNEDY.

(From the Inverness Courier.)
This highly•gifted and deeply-lamented man died at
Fort William on Wednesday, the 12th inst., at four
o'clock in the morning. He was in the prime of life, and
until a few days ago he was in the enjoyment of the
highest health. But having caught typhus fever while
in the discharge of his professional duty, he sunk ra•
pidly under it, notwithstanding the closest care and at-
tention bestowed on him by Drs. Cameron and Crichton,
who were aided by Dr. Hurst. His death has not only
caused a blank in the district which we do not expect to
see filled up, but it has created a deep and solemn im-
pression, and called forth grief and sorrow such as we
never before witnessed in this quarter. On Tuesday
morning, when, for the first time, the belief that Dr.
Kennedy was in imminent danger generally spread,
groups of deeply-anxious persons might be seen every-
where throughout the town—his case forming the all-en-
grossing subject of discussion. As the day advanced the
anxiety increased. When night came on, and his medical
attendants pronounced his case hopeless, scores of people
crowded the. space before his house " hoping against
hope," and watching with breathless eagerness for
every fresh report concerning him. Old men, women,
and children—bareheaded and barefooted children—
stood throughout the cold February night befiro his
door; and many parties who had travelled twelve or
fourteen miles from the surrounding country were seen
hurrying anxiously forward to the centre of such painful
and absorbing interest. When at length the sad an-
nouncement was made—that the dreaded separation had
taken place—men wept and wailed as if bereaved of
their nearest and their dearest. The " poetess of the
affections," notwithstanding she herself had drunk so
deeply and frequently of the cup of sorrow, says—
" Talk not of grief, till thou haat seen
The tears of warlike men."
Grief thus attested, is felt and expressed for Dr. Ken-
nedy. We hare seen strong men and old men shedding
tears at the mention of his name. Few can pronounce
it without visible emotion; while a subdued and awe-
struck air pervades the district generally. Nor will
those w.ao knew the very high worth of the departed
wonder at the depth or intensity of the sorrow felt for
him. All who were acquainted with him will join in
the words of Horacelegarding Quintilius—
" Quis desiderio sit pudor, aut modus
Tam cari capitis?"
and we may well add—
" Cui Pudor, et Justitiae soror
Incorrupta Fides, nudaque Veritas
Quando ullum inveniet parem?
Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit."
Dr. Kennedy's character presented a union of various
excellencies rarely ever combined in one individual—of
qualities well fitted to command both esteem and affec-
tion, and which qualified him in a singular manner for
the varied and arduous duties of his profession in an ex-
tensive, a rugged, and a poor Highland district. Great
strength, decision, and energy of purpose were seen joined
to remarkable mildness, quietness, and patience of man-

and, whether it was at morn or at midnight that he was
called, he cheerfully went forth to relieve their suffer-
ings after travelling Jong and dreary distances without
prospect of fee or reward. Ho was here in an especial
manner " the strength of the needy and the dis-
tressed."

We may mention that it is proposed to raise a publio
monument to him at Fort William—a tribute due to his
many excellencies. But whether this be done or not,
sure we aro that his memory will long live embalmed
in many a heart, and we doubt not that " his record is
on high."

Dr. Kennedy was the third son of the late Mr. Angus
Kennedy, Lionachan, where the family have lived for
several generations. He was born in 1810, and was thus
in the 41st year of his age. After completing his medi-
cal studies at Glasgow University, he commenced prac-
tice in Fort William, which he never left. He married
Miss Cameron, Camisky, who lives to lament his loss.
He was medical ( fficer to the parochial boards both of
Kilmallie and Kilmonivaig, and was an elder in the
Established Church. His remains were interred on
Saturday ire the churchyard of the latter, his native
parish, and were followed by an immense concourse of
mourners. As the procession passed through Fort
William every shop was closed, and groups of females
in deep distress were seen co!lected in the village, and at
several places on the roadside. The funeral was more
numerously attended than any we have ever witnessed
in this part of the country—the computation varied from
1,200 to 1.500. The body was carried shoulder-high the
whole distance of ten miles. We have heard that al-
ready 150/. have been subscribed for a monument to him.
We cannot conclude this notice without expressing a
sincere wish that the solemn and even appalling spec-
tacle here presented to us may teach true wisdom unto
many. We have seen a " strong man in his strength"
suddenly cut off—a man in the full flush of manhood and
usefulness and fame struck down by the "arrow that
flieth in darkness," and above all, a man who was so
often the meaes, under the hand of God, of warding off
death from others, thus himself so utterly powerless in
the grasp of death. We trust that this impressive lesson
may teach many the weakness of man at his best estate,
and lead them to seek strength and life in Him who, by
his marvellous death, purchased life eternal for us.

DEATII OF W. KENNEDY, EsQ., M.D., FORT WIL-
LIA,M.—It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that
we have to announce the demise, of typhus fever, of
Dr. Kennedy, which took place at his house here on
Wednesday morning, the 12th current. This sad event
has cast a gloom over the whole district. Never did we
see so much anxiety displayed by the people of the vil-
lage as on the night of Tuesday, when high and low,
rich and poor might bo seen in groupes around his
dwelling, waiting for any tidings which might be con-
veyed by the numerous messengers who called from
time to time, to learn, alas ! the saddening news, that
the doctor was getting weaker, and that there was no
hope of his recovery. In his last moments he was quite
calm and collected, and expired without a struggle. All
that medical skill could do was done. Besides Dr. Ca-
meron, who was in constant attendance, Dr. Crichton
was moat attentive also; but the hour was' come. He is
gone, and an extensive district mourns his loss. It is the
doing of an all-wise Providence." 0 teach us so to number
our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." The
deceased was born at Leanachan, near Fort-William, on
the Bth July, 1810. After completing his studiesl and
taking hie degree, he settled among us about seventeen
years ago. As far as the circle of his acquaintance extends,
it is unnecessary for us to say one word as to his supe-
rior medical skill, his benevolent disposition (which
made him the poor man's friend), his character as a man
or as a member of the Church, in which he was an office
bearer. All this is sufficiently attested by the following
remark, made in our hearing, by one who occupies the
highest place among us:—" I never knew a more kind-
hearted man than Dr. Kennedy; his death will be a
public calamity." The interment took place on Satur-
day. His remains were attended to their last resting
place, in the churchyard of Blarour, by a vast assemblage
from all parts of the country. The banks and all the
shops remained closed till the afternoon. The mournful
procession, which started about 11 o'clock, a.m., received
accessions to its numbers all along the road, and by the
time the burying-ground was reached the numbers ex-
ceeded a thousand. As a last mark of respect the body
was carried " shoulder high" for upwards of nine miles.
We are glad to state that everything was conducted in
the most orderly manner.
(The following account of the same gentleman is from
a Correspondent.)
This eminent surgeon and physician died here sud-
denly, on the 12th current, about four o'clock in the
morning. He was ill but a few days of typhus fever, it
is supposed caught in the discharge of his professional
duties as medical attendant on the poor. During the
last day of his valuable life, so intense was the interest
felt by the inhabitants of Fort William, that they col-
lected and remained in crowds on the square opposite his
residence, up to the hour when his death was announced
to them. Sorrow and sadness have come over every one,
for every one finds he has lost a generous and kind
friend. Dr. Kennedy was a universal favourite, both
from his kindness, bland manners, and medical skill ;
and the people of Lochaber and surrounding district look
upon his loss, in the prime of manhood, and in the height
of eminence in his profession, as a calamity beyond ex-
pression severe. _ _

Saturday, the 15th current, was fixed for conveying
his respected remains to the churchyard at Blaronr.
Every possible token of respect and regard to the me-
mory of the deceased was on this occasion shown by
his countrymen. All the public offices and shops were
shut; the coffiin was carried on a bier, shoulder high, a
distance of more than ten miles, accompanied by more
than 1,500 persons, all eager to do the last offices to one
who was so dear to ell, and whose character as a man
and a physician all admired, and whom all will long con-
tinue to deplore. Not the least of those who will miss
him, will be the English families who reside in the coun-
try during the season, with whom his was an especial
favourite.

place, to be quickly reconciled.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

THE NAVY ESTIMATES.

The navy estimates for 1851-52 have been published,
and appear in a somewhat different shape from that in
which they bare been usually presented. Many columns
have been omitted in the abstract of the estimate, and
there have been substituted two columns, showing the
increase or decrease on each vote.
The " grand total" required to be voted for the service
of the year 1851.52 is 5,727,2591., or 171,3211. less than
voted for the year ending 31st of March next. Of the
total sum there is required—

The number of seamen, boys, and marines are to be

blue jackets, 2,000 boys, 5,700 marines for afloat, and
5,300 for shore. Of this number, however, 485 are de•
ducted for the packet service. The charge for wages on
this vote is increased by the increase of pay substituted
for half the allowance of grog. This excess, however,
over the present year's estimate is reduced by the de-
crease in the vote for victuals to 62,6261.
