EQUITABLE FIRE OFFiCE.
Capital-500,0'0/.
(incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. HO.)
The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Preinitun for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
'Ube difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
rrernium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
;rent. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation. , _ _

It has hoen toungl 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 Preinalm for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically ap plied.
Whatever he 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 ouestion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Aver +ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal,sis of its own
experience, from time to tie 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 he made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be ;nada to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years. . _ _

Insurances against Coss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Pr..perty on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

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

THE HUMAN HAIR.
ROWLNNDS' AUCASSAR OIL is justly
renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues,
in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in
numerous instances wh,rein otaer remedies have been tried in vain,
ROWLANDS' aucAssmt OIL has superseded the ornaments of
art, by effecting a complete. restoration of beautiful hair. In the
growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing
in its stimalative operation. For children it is especially recom-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.
Price 3s. 6d. and.7B ; or family bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. Gd.; and double, that size, 21s.
CAUTION.---On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article
are these words in two linos, "ROWLANDS' 'MACASSAR OIL."

therefore 24 6361. 12L 23. Taking into considers-
lion the smallness of this sum, and the report of tse
Ll,7o,olltqatitS on the capital account, the directiors do not
recommend a dividend on the Eastern Counties Conso-
tidated Stock fyr this half-year.. They have also ascer-
tained that various sums of meney, beyond thorinalluded
to in :he last report, were :::ceived by Mr. Duncan, and
applied to his own purposes. As this matter is in the
hands of Hessre.. Crowder and ISisynard, under whose
slviee the directorsare acting, they must refrain from
making further observations respecting it; but they re-.
for the proprietors to the facts brought out by the an,
countants, which indicate the state of their affairs when
they were committed to the hands of the present board. The
sum of 8,25Q/.,95. 3d. expended in making two-antira-
half miles of Tailway at Colchester, has long beentont-
standing, not being recoverable, and the directOrshave
to recommend that it be charged. to capital. • Fractions
of shares acoraing from the Northern and Eastern bonus
are stated at 10,1061. 17s. 81, but are at present worth,
only 2,730/. The difference, namely,. 7,4761. 17s. ad.,
must be charged to capital, or the whole' amount can-
celled. The directors submit to you that the following
shares be declared fotfeiteil for non-payment of.calls,
namely--4,219 shares York Extension scrip, amount-.
/IT to '42;r9OL, on 9,410 L have been.
paid ; the calls -are overdue since 1847::
Also 150 Converted York Extension scrip shares,
amounting to 750/., on which 300/. have been paid, the
calls on whrch are also due since 1847. The directors
have made arrangements with the East and West India
Dock Company for a communication with the import
basin of the East India Docks. The rails along the
wharf will be laid by the Dock Company. During the
last session of Parliament powers were obtained, by means
of which access will be obtained to the West India Docks,
to the new cattle-market at Islington, and to the London
and North-Western Railways at Camden-town, so that
live stock and goods may be transferred from one rail-
way to the other without change of carriages, The trade
of Lowestoft continues to increase. It is to be hoped
that the pending arrangements with the Eastern Union
and Norfolk companies will shortly add the town and
port of Harwich to the list of your terminal stations, and
open a trade to Holland and the ports of western Ger-
many, es Lowestoft is now doing to Denmark and the
Elbe. The importance of Harwich as a seaport and pas-
senger station has long been recognized. The report of
the locomotive superintendent shows that, although the
reduction of the working expenses has been retarded by
the strike of the men, yet there is every prospect of its
being steadily carried into effect, witnout any increase
of labour, or any interference with the comforts or in-
'ependenco ef the people employed. The majority of the
new hands have been found skilful and trustworthy, and
they are becoming well acquainted with the line of rail-
way; several of the old hands have acknowledged their
errors, and been permitted to return to their duty."

Gunner—Stephen Slade, to be acting..
Commander Henderson, who has lately retired from
active service as master attendant of Devonport Dock-
yard, has been almost constantly employed for 44 years,
having first entered the reeeelliNeePeiee with his friend
Captain Henderson, in the Prince of Wales; '2O gad
ship. In the navy he,was actively employed at the end
of the late war in the North-Sea and Baltic; he has
been 29 years a master, and of that period has been only
ten months on half-pay. In fact, he may be said to'have
been always serving, and that under several distinguished
officers, from all of whom he has the most gratifying
testimonials, accompanied from some by tokens of
value—viz., from the late Captain Sir S. Chambers,
Captain Sandom, his Excellency Sir Lionel Smith
(Governor of Barbadoes), while under his orders in
command of the Colombia steamer, and who in-
terested himself much at the Horse Guards
in favour of Commander Henderson; and, lastly,
from Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, But., G.C.8..
the present Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean.
At the calamitous fire in Devonport Dockyard, on Sun-
day, September 28, 1840, he received, through the late
Admiral Warren, the thanks of the 'Admiralty, fur the
prompt assistance rendered on that occasion, as being the
first on shore, with all his crew-130 men from the Ven-
geance, then under his orders, and on the point of sailing
to Portsmouth. No officer has ever navigated so many
ships of all classes, to and from Scotland, Liverpool,
Wales, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and all the eastern ports,
at all seasons of the year, frequently very indifferently
manned, and never met with a single accident. No pilot
was ever employed on these occasions but for out and in
of harbours. Lastly, he has finished his naval services
as master attendant of Devonport Dockyard for nearly
tive years, during which he has frequently had the whole
charge of the establishment as acting superintendena
Captain Sir E. Home is much better, and expected to
join his ship, the Calliope, 26, early this week.

EASTERN COUNTIES.
The report of the directors to the twenty-ninth half-
yearly meeting of the shareholder
London Tavern, on Thursday, the
27th of February, at
0, to be held at the
one o'clock, contains the following points:—
" The half-year which has now terminated has been

Great Northern Railway being now open to London both

for goods and passengers, and the branch line from
Ilitchin to Royston being now completed and at- work,

andt the

Companies were placed have also been detrimental to
your interests; meanwhile the low prices of produce in
the agricultural districts traversed by the Eastern
Counties Railway have not only
discouraged persons
from travelling, but have induced the passengers to
travel at the cheapest fares, although at the same
time the manufacturing districts have been prospering,
and the traffic on their railways increasing, to
well
as that on other metropolitan lines. The strike of the
engine-drivers and firemen, which took At
r•ace just before
the close of the last half-year, has also had a serious
effect in decreasing the traffic, and increasing the charges
against revenue, from the great precautions thereby
rendered necessary, and from other heavy ~,p,,,,,,,,
caused by the employment of new hands. Toe East
Anglian and the Newmarket lines may from their posi-
tion be regarded as the natural allies of this company.
Provision has long since been made at Cambridge for
the expected branch from the Newmarket line, and a
station actually erected by anticipation at your expense
to receive the passengers it may bring. The East Anglican
line is a continuation of your railway from Ely, which is
the direct road from London to Lynn, and it can obvi-
ously he worked to most advantege in continuation wit')
the Eastern Counties Railway. The b writ has again
underralr,n to work the N e% eratket Railway en terms
which barely cover the coot. The lireetors are given to
understand that a waking tagre'n-"1 dettinatntd to
the interests of this companY has been entered into by
East Anglian Railway with the Great Northern Rail-
way, and will be submitted to the Dist Anglian proprie-
tors on the 27th instant for confirmation. The works
on your tShelford and Shepreth branch will be com-
pleted and the line open for traffic early in Julio, It
will be the duty of yottr (Erectors to endeavour to mtir,
such arrangements with the Great Northern Company
as shall prot(ct your interests, and prevent, as far as
may be practicable, the loss which both companies
must sustain f:om endue competition. Negotiations are
now pending for these objects, and also for the amicable
interchange of traffic at other points where the two rail-
ways come in confect. The receipts for the half-year

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.
The report of the directors of the York, Newcastle,
and Berwick Railway, to be presented to the share-
holders at the half-yearly general meeting, to bs held in
York on Friday next, states that there has been an in-
cr,93Se of 167,610 in the number of passengers upon the
lin. as compared with the corresponding halt-year in
1849, and an increase of 32,4381. 18s. 4d. in the revenue
as compared with that of the same period in 1849. The
total revenue for the half-year ending 31st December, was
382,7261. 16s. 3d.

The following are the most important points contained
in the repot t:—. _ _

"It will also be observed that no interest is charged
against capital, but that the whole amount of interest,
guaranteed dividend, and other current charges, is de-
frayed out of the revenue. The shareholders are aware
,hat the fund for the renewal of the permanent way
for the years 1849 and 1850 was provided from the
50,000/. repaid by Mr. Hudson, and they must bear
in mind that a charge for that purpose will appear
in future years to the debit of the revenue; but if
the traffic continues to increase, this additional pay-
ment can easily be provided for. The directors
have co-operated, to the extent of their power, with
the directors of those companies with which they are
connected, or with which they might be brought into
rivalry, in effecting amicable traffic arrangements, and
they are happy to inform the shareholdere, that with
altn,at all the companies bud] arrangements are nearly
perfected. The revenue account shows that, after paying
the'dividend oneturguaratftlrd shares, and interest upon
the Great North of England and other debentures, the
net divisible balance, including 2 289/. 125. 10d. brought
forward from the last half-year, amounts to 117,036/ 51...
7d., out of which the directors recommend that a divi-
dend be declared at the rate of Si. 10,?, psr cent. per
annum, which will amount to 105,526/. 193. 7d., and will
leave a balance of 11,509/. 65., to be carried to the credit
of the ensuing bah-year. The amount received on ar •
rears of calls is small; bat the directors confidently
expect that very little, if any, loss will ultimately be
sustained by the company under this head. The
arrangements with Mr. Hudson, sanctioned by the
proprietors on the Bth January, 1850, have been carried
into effect, though not in sufficient time to permit the
sum received from him to appear in the present
account. The payment of the 50,0001. due from him
was reported to the last meeting; and with regard to the
2,345 Sunderland Dock shares, for which he was respon-
sible to this company, he has produced receipts from the
Dock Company in terms of the agreement for 15,000/.,
and paid the sum of 26,037/. 10.5., together with interest
up to the time of payment. The company therefore
now hold 3,000 shares in the Sunderland Docks of 25/,
each, fully paid up, and will receive from the Dock Com-
pany intsrest on the 7,500/., paid in advance, until the
final call for that amount shall bo made. All the coals
conveyed fur shipment along the Durham and Sunder.
land Railway are now shipped in these docks, tho direc-
tors of which have just published a report, giving a fa-
vourable view of its future prospects. The contract for
the Pensher branch provisionally entered into with
Messrs. Rush and Lawton has been confirmed, and the
works have been begun. The settlement with the pro-
prietors of the Great North of England Railway is now
virtually completed. Notwithstanding the large amount
returned in compliance with the Act of Parliament ou
rescinded the directors have been enabled to pur-
chase a further amount of the Great North of England
Company's Stock equal at par value to 198,871/. 10s.,
making in all 1,091,134/. purchased and cancelled up to
the 31st of December last. They also, under thepsvers
of the Act, entered into communication with the various
shareholders of the Great North of England Railway,
with the view of adjusting the amount of purchase de-
bentures due in July, 1853, January, 1855, and July,
1856, so as to suit the convenience of this company,
This has been successfully accomplished, and there can
he no doubt that the discharge of the purchase deben-
tures at the respective periods will be effected without
the slightest embarrassment to the company. The re-
payment to this account of 78,087/. 10s. from the
350,0001. formerly lent to capital account, has placed a
considerable balance in hand, which may be appropriated
to buy up the purchase debentures from time to time,
according to circumstances. Under the authority granted
to them by the last general meeting, the directors have
introduced two Bills into Parliament, one for continuing
their power of purchasing land, and the eJmpletion of
works as to the Bishop Auckland' branch, and the other
for connecting the West Durham Railway with the Hart-
lepool line; both of which have been read a second time."

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD.—The half-yearly meet•
ing of the shareholders of this company was held at the
offices, in Birmingham, on Satnrday; Mr. F. P. Barlow
in the chair. The statement of accounts was laid before
the meeting, and received; after which Mr. Aston was
re-elected auditor of the company. Mr. Aston said, on
going through the accounts he found the books had been
kept with regularity; indeed it was impossible that any
set of books could have been kept in a more satisfactory
manner. The chairman said he might observe, with re-
ference to the works, that they were progressing as
rapidly as possible, and he hoped at their next meeting
to have a much more favourable report to make. The
whole of the works had been contracted for, and there
would not be a moment lost in executing them. He
coald not say when they would be finished, but they
would be gone on with as soon as possible. There being
no other business before the meeting, the proceedings
terminated.
BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHA MPTON, AND D warm—
A meeting of the sharehoiders of this company was
held at the same office, when the accounts were pre-
sented and received, after which Mr. [Scott was re-
elected auditor; and thanks having been voted
to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. At the
close of the business Mr. Aston wished to know if the
chairman could give him any information with respect
to the progress of the line, and that gentleman replied,
be could only say there would be no time lost in for-
warding the works.
HULL AND SELBY.—The half-yearly general meeting
of the proprietors of thie company, was held on Saturday
lust, in the Railway-office, Hull. As the line is leased
to tho York and North-Midland Company, with a gua-
ranteed the proceedings were merely of a pro
forma character. Tao report (which has already ,11,-
reared in our columns) was passed; and the retiring
&rectors, Mo:isrs. Join Ater and Mavelstou, and Mr.
John Bower, the anditor. were re-elected unanimously.
RUGBY AND LEAMINGTON.—On Saturday this line
was opened for put-:lie trotlic. The Government iespee-
tor went ever it on Tuesday last, and was perfectly setts-
iced with its condition.

A 100-Guff Scum LINE-OF-BATTLE SkIIP.—
A new ship of the line, by name St. Join d'Acre, has been
un tae" Navy List" Car some years, but has not been laid
down. The Admiralty have now determined that instead of
a 00 gun ship, like the Albion, she shall be a powerful two-
decker, to carry 100 guns, and to be propelled by screw ma-
chinery of 650-horse power. She is ordered to be built At

NEW YORK, FEB. 11,

MONET MARKET.—The receipts of gold from Cali-
fornia since the departure of the last Liverpool steamer
amount to 1,500,000 dollars. The total exports from the
gold regions, as near as can be estimated from official
sources, amount to 30,000,000 dollars. It is estimated
that 12,000,000 dolls, have been forwarded by passen-
gers, and, allowing 6,000,000 dolls. for circulation, will
give 48,000,000 as the product of the mines. life are
glad to notice signs. of more ease in the money market.
Under the favourable influence obtained by the arrival
of gold from California, there was a much better supply
of money offering on Saturday and to-day, and in many
instancys the rates for first-class short paper were a trill,
lower. Foreign exchanges are rather lower, although
there has been an increased demand, in consequence of
there being no Liverpool steamer advertised to leave this
port next week, The bulk of transactions have been at
the following rates:—London, 10911 to 110; Paris,
5 111 to 5.134; Amsterdam, 41 to 414; Ilamburgh,
36i to 36k; Bremen, 794 to 79k.
