EQUITAitLK FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-81)0,0.UL
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. HU.)
The leading principles of this Office are Moderate and equitable
Rates ep Premium for each cites 01 risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
"reinium to risk in Insurance against Loss by P'ire has keen ss,
;mat. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation. . . _

It has been found ny 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 hlghe•t importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk he 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-
nroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n. or systematically apAed.
Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss tor so great a calamity as tire, 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 anal, sic of its own
experience, from time to 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
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or flay 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.

cumstance. He concluded by commenting on the
Company's forgetfulness of past benefits. Captain
Newbolt had spoken to the zealous services of Jotee
Persand in times of great difficulty. Services (to
use Captan Newbolt's own words) which ought not
to be forgotten when the emergencies which created
them had passed away.' What asked Mr. Lang, is
the reward of this zealous service rendered in such
disastrous times ? ' A seat in the dock

" Throughout the proceedings the population of
the whole city of Agra were crowding in and about
the court. The natives, who have been so long
accustomed to the sycophantic style of pleading
which Vekeels deem it prudent to adopt,
were astounded when they beheld Mr. Lang fre-
quently in fierce debate with the huzeor,' and not
yielding a single point without a contest and a strug-
gle. So great was their rejoicing at Jotee Persand's
acquittal that they intimated a wish (which was de-
clined) to chair him from the court--a distance of
three miles—a demonstration unparalleled on the
part of a Hindoo crowd.
" With the single exception of the Delhi Gazette,
the press, and, indeed, public opinion generally, is
unanimous in condemnation of the conduct of Go-
vernment in. this prosecution. The most fisgrant
case of oppression,' says the Calcutta Englishman,
which has disgraced the East India Company's
government for years past has terminated in the
utter discomfiture of the prosecutors, though these
had swept the gaols for witnesses against the ac-
cused, and endeavoured to intimidate trustworthy
gentlemen-who-appeared in - his favour. The Bom-
bay Times, usually a stanch supporter of the Indian
Government, first styles the prosecution a stupen-
dous blunder,' and then observes, ' the trial of
Jotee Persand will inflict an injury on our character
which half a century of good government will scarcely
repair, perfectly convinced, as the natives will be,
that our intention was to perpetrate a stupendous
fraud by form of law. The present case will be
believed one of intended dishonesty, in which we
have been frustrated by our own improvidence.' The
Agra Messenger, and also other papers, remark that
Jotee Persand's trial is of greater interest than any
Indian state trial since that of Nuncomar, and ex-
press a hope that as that trial occasioned the Regula-
tion Act, so the present exposure of the vices of the
Company's judicial system may attract public atten-
tion in England with a view to the reform of its
abuses.

"Another case of military banking delinquency
has been brought to light. Colonel Ponsonby,
while chairman of the North-Western Bank, had
taken 66 shares without giving an actual value
in return ; but, instead of leaving the scrip
for these shares with the North-Western Bank

till they were bond fide paid for, he pledged
them to the Delhi Bank for a loan of 83,000
rupees to Major Angelo, not as secretary, but
in his private capacity, having obtained the par
value of his stock from the Delhi Bank. Colonel
Ponsonby cancelled these shares in the books of his
own bank, of course, without informing the mort-
gagees of the fact, who did not discover it until lately,
as the dividends on the shares continued to be paid to
the Delhi Bank, although the shares themselves had
actually disappeared from the register of the North-
Western Bank.

" Intelligence was received in Bombay from Cal-
cutta on the eve of the departure of the last overland
mail that a very fine ship, the Kurramany, bound to
the Mauritius, full of Coolie emigrants, bad been
burnt to the water's edge, near Kedgeree. The crew
and Coolies on board amounted to 465 souls, of whom
366 are lost. _ . . _

" The Nizam's dominions are in a worse state than
ever—even in the capital no law prevails but that of
the sword. The Nizam's palace is besieged by a large
body of starving soldiery clamouring for their ar-
rears, and throughout the districts the unpaid and
disbanded troops are paying themselves by plunder.
ing the temples and inhabitants, seizing (in one in-
stance) the women and children of a whole village
till their demands are paid. It is generally asked
whether the paramount power of India is not morally
responsible for the continuance of outrages which it
has the power to put an immediate end to, by the
adoption of measure's which, according to Indian
ideas and precedent, it is no more than its duty to
adopt in such an extreme case. _ _

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY MARKETS.
(From the Bombay Times.)
THE MONEY AND SHARE MARKETS.—The large im-
ports of bullion which came to hand since our last, cx
the China and English steamers, do not appear to have
relieved the money market to any extent. In the native
part of the city great scarcity exists, and business is very
unsatisfactory in coesequence. Government Securities
have rather an upward tendency, although we cannot
say any amount of transactions go forward at the follow-
ing quotations :—Transfer Loan, 119 rupees; Sicca
Fives. 107; Sicca Fours, 96; Company's Fours, 93;
New Fives, 1021; Bank tock is inactive at—Bombay
Bank, 19 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 17 per
cent. discount; Commercial Bank, 14} per cent. dis-
count; Agra Bank, 2 per cent. discount.
We have no improvement to notice in the import
market during the past fortnight : the export market
also has exhibited much less animation.
Cotton Piece Goods—The large sales reported in our
last, which the dealers still hold, have had a dull effect
on the market, and importers who have forced sales in
order to avail themselves of the rise in exchange have
been obliged to submit to a trifling reduction in prices,
and we look for no improvement this season, as the rains
are now fast approaching. In gray shirtings wo notice
a decline of 1 to 2 annas in nearly all descriptions, sales
20,725 pieces; madapollams have sold to the extent of
22,525 pieces at a reduction of 1 to 1i anna per piece;
jaconets, the low qualities, have been in fairy inquiry,
sales 4,800 pieces; domestics have been dull of sale, only
1,650 pieces reported sold; long and T cloths have been
in fair demand at former prices; sales, 1,500 pieces, at
4 rupees 2 annas.
Bleached Goods—Bleached shirtings of low quality
there is scarcely any inquiry for, and are dull-ot sale;
the middling qualities are slightly inquired for; 66 reed
and upwards are in moderate request, prices for which
have declined a little; 1,000 pieces reported sold.
Fancy Dyed Goods and Prints—Little business has
been done in these articles, and most of them are dull of
sale. Turkey red plain mulls, best quality, have been
in moderate inquiry. White twills and prints very dull
of sale. Fancy or Scotch goods are heavy in stock and
no demand exists. Dyed madapollams, dyed mulls,
bleached mulls, lappets, and book muslin are very dull of
sale. Dhoties,lappets, and lappet scarfs are in inquiry.
Cotton Yarn—There has been a steady inquiry for
both water and mule, and prices continue as last, with a
slight exception. For orange and Turkey red there is
no demand at all.
Woollens—ln less inquiry than at the date of our last
report. •
Metals—English bar iron dull, as also nail rod, both
round and square. A slight decline has taken place in
sheet iron; hoop continues as last, but both are dull of
sale. Swedish bar has receded in price, and is difficult
to sell. Swedish steel in tubs has likewise become dull
and lower in price. Faggot no change. Spelter, pig
lead, and sheet are all dull of sale, as also copper—
bras;sr, sheathing, and flat and raised bottoms. Tile is
steady.
Cochineal—No improvement to notice; on the con-
trary. stocks are accumulating, and few sales reported.
Saffron--No transactions to report, market dull.
Beer—Allsopp's remains as last reported; we have
heard of a sale of 50 hhds. Rugard," at 45 rupees per
hhd., 50 hhds. Hodgson, at 55 rupees, and 50 hhds. of
the same brand at 60 rupees per hhd.
The price of Bass's beer is well mantained at 80 ru-
pees to 85 rupees, and the quality continues most ex.
celient; the sales at these prices, since the first arrival
of the new brew, amount to about 450 hhds.
Spirits-20 quarter casks of Lisbon wine, at 41 rupees
per cask, and 20 quarter-casks of port wine, at the same
price, have been sold; the market is remarkably dull for
all descriptions; the above are the only sales reported.
Marine Stores—Canvas both brown and bleached very
dull of sale; cordage in demand; sewing twine dull;
paints there is littleinquiry for.

MALTA, MAY 27.—The birthday of her Majesty was
kept here, on the 24th inst., with every honour. From
an early hour the vessels of war in port were dressed
with flags. At noon each ship fired a royal salute,
which was taken up by the Fort St. Angelo, and after
each seventh gun fired from the little battery under the
Baracca, the troops who lined the walls of the several
bastions fired a feu de joie. In the evening, at sunset,
the small arm men and marines on board of the ships of
war also fired a feu de joie.
At half-past ten A.M. his Excellency the acting Go-
vernor, Lieutenant-General Ellice, held a Levee at the
Palace, which was numerously attended; and in the
evening he entertained at his private residence the head;
of the military department at a magnificent dinner.
Admiral Sir W. Parker also entertained the heads of
the naval department at the Admiralty-house; and Mr.
H. Lushington, chief secretary to Government, invited
the heads of the civil government to a large entertain-
ment at the club.

In the evening, at the Opera-house, after the second
act of Don Pasquale, the whole of the company sang the
National Anthem, the effect of which was considerably
heightened by the house being fully illuminated and ex-
ceedingly well attended.

The regiments newly arrived have in turn been in-
spected by the Commander-in-Chief, and have acquitted
themselves to the entire satisfaction of that officer. The
76th were first inspected; the Buffs (3d), under the
oldest colonel in the service, Sir James Dennis; and on
Friday last the 68th Light Infantry.
On Saturday the usual parade on mounting guard was
abolished for the summer months, and the hour changed
from 10i AX. to 8 A.M.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sul-
tan, from Constantinople, arrived here on Saturday. She
awaited the arrival of the Medusa till noon (26th), when
that vessel not having been signalled she got under
weigh for Gibraltar.
The Medusa, with homeward India mails, has arrived,
They will be forwarded this day per Banshee to Mar-
seilles, and the Caradoc will be sent to the lonian Is-
lands with the mails expected at the end of the month
by the Indus and Merlin from Southampton and Mar-
seilles respectively.
Ninety-two Hungarians came down by the Sultan, 89
of whom are about to proceed to the United States.
Their passage money is paid by the Turkish Govern-
ment. Among the number is Messaros, late Field-
Marshal and Minister of War in Hungary, and a colonel
whose name has not reached me. These two are first-
class passengers. The remainder have second-class
passages.

On an application made by Mr. W. Winthrop, United
States' Consul, to Lieutenant• General Ellice, Com-

other condition than the usual guarantee that they would
