EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable
Rates of 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 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-
?roached 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 less 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 Oface 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
nett
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.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

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

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
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 Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—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 &lama between the let of Jnne, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, Vas more than—donble the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 320/. 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. its. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. lffs. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,9911. ss. 1 Id.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 10e1. 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 I'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 Arclabish, p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, 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 resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Sfscretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and futare prospects.

competent persons appointed for the purpose. This
order was immediately carried into effect. A body
of constables cleared every person off the property; all
access to it was closed, and no one was permitted beyond
the barriers under any circumstances, except those in-
strueted to inquire into the cause of the accident.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the inquiry com-
menced. There were present Mr. Alderman Lawrence,
a builder; Mr. Cubitt, M.P., the newly elected alderman
for Langbouine Ward; Mr. Montague, the City sur-
veyor; Mr. Woodthorpe, Mr. Stephens, the district sur-
veyor; Mr. Tress, and several others. There were also
present Mr. Bell, of Pope's Head-alley, one of the
proprietors of the property ; his assistant architect;
and the superintendent of the works. From a
plan of the various floors and the works in general
much information was gleaned regarding the true de-
scription and character of the building. As the public
are cognizant of the magnitude of the erection, it is ne-
cessary to state that there was not a wooden beam in the
whole structure. Each of the 140 apartments in the
place was made fireproof, the flooring and ceiling being
composed of twelve inches work of solid cement. These
were supported by iron joists, or girders, each 16 feet
long, and nearly 40 cwt. in weight. There could not
have been less than 3,000 of them, besides other girders
of almost three times their weight, imbedded in the
walls, on which the smaller were tied or secured. These
large beams were " locked" to the main walls by bolts
running through and tinned on the outer side. Con-
sequently, the whole fabric may be said to have been
tied together like a spider's cobweb. Many expressed
surprise that the entire place was not dragged to the
ground, but the only portion that fell was the centre
(about fifty feet by forty); the frontage in Gracechurch-
street, and the portion abutting on -Ball's-court, Lom-
bard-street, remaining entire. The frontage has not
bulged out as represented; the surveyors, it is said, con-
sider it perfectly safe. Along the whole length of the
four floors ran passages, the doors to the chambers being
on each side of them. These were gained by twoflights
of stairs, one about the centre of the building, and the
other at the western extremity.
It was in the centre one where the mischief corn-
menced. Here were four immense girders, each two
tons weight, nearly twenty feet long, fixed across the
staircase, opening on a well-hole, on each of the four
floors, the ends bearing in the walls, and locked to the
longitudinal girders. They were intended to support
the stone steps and part of the flooring of the passages;
but this part of the work had not been commenced. The
one that broke, and produced the fearful consequences
so much lamented, was the uppermost on the fourth
floor. It had been fixed some days, and the walls had
been carried up to the height required to receive the
roof. According to Mr. Bell's statement to the City
surveyors he saw it perfect on Saturday morning, when
he went over the works with Mr. King, the superin-
tendent, and found everything apparently safe and pro-
gressing to his satisfaction.
An attempt was mado to discover the cause of the
girder breaking. This was found impracticable, as the
broken fragments 12y embedded in the ruins. The
people employed on the works say they are confident
there was no weight on the girder to cause it to break,
and express an opinion that it must have arisen from
a flaw in the casting. It seems that Messrs. Bell and
Corbet possess certificates, showing that the whole of the
iron joists and girders employed in the building were
properly tested and warranted.

-At elate hour the surveyors retired from the ruins
to, as we understood, draw up a report to present at
the coroner's inquest, which is fixed for ten o'clock this
day (Tuesday) at the London Tavern.
We are desired to contradict the statement made in
yesterday's paper, of two more bodies having been dug
out of the ruins, after the finding of the remains of
Matthew Cromer. Such is not the case. Another death,
however, was announced to the police authorities yes-
terday. It was that of a labourer named Timothy
Donohoe, aged 42. He was supposed by his comrades
not to have been on the building at the time of the acci-
dent, but it appears he was on the top, and was one of
the unfortunate creatures who were precipitated to the
ground with the walls and floor when they fell. He
was got out by some strangers, and taken to St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, where he died almost immediately.
The other sufferers (four in number dead) are Martin
Cromer, James Horrogan, Matthew Cromer, and Joseph
Hanley.
Those lying at St. Thomas's Hospital, with the ex-
ception of one, Timothy Sullivan (whose case is pro-
nounced by the medical officers hopeless) are going on
favourably. Most of them were married, and their
families are in want of relief.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Legitimatists, headed by MM. BEERYBE and
Da FALLoux,have determined to support any mo-
tion for a revision of the Constitution, and, at the
same time, to oppose the re-election of Louis NAPO-
LEON. They have published a manifesto to this effect
in the Union. In commenting on this manifest the
Siele says :
" Well, gentlemen in favour of the prolongation of
powers, and you, the President of the Republic, who
swore to restore intact to your successor, the Constith-
tion, what do you say? Have you read the insolent
manifesto published yesterday? Of what use has it been
to you to have decided on the expedition to Rome, to
have had M. Berryer amongst your councillors, and to
have carried Count de Montalembert in your carriage
through France. You have allowed, in spite of your-
selves, the Constitutionnet to over and over again ask for
the abrogation of Art. 111 of the Constitution. Your
Procureurs have allowed that journal to ask, per firs et
nefas, for the prolongation of your powers. The
Legitimate party profits by it. What we announced
relative to the decision of M. de Falloux was true. Not
only are you repulsed, and refused any countenance, but
.
the standard is raised against the Republic. The Le p-
timatist party has decided to votefor the total revision of
the Constitution, and, in advance, it is declared that that
vote will be one in favour of Henry V. If you have not
read, read. It is the Union, the most respectable of the
Legitimatist journals, which gives the ultimatum of the
party. Thus, no peace, no truce, no adjournment, is
what the Legitimatists declare. The time has gone over
when the question related to the prolongation of powers.
It is above all of you that apprehension is felt. his Ma-
jesty, Henry V., signifies to France, through M. Bsr-
ryer, to receive the Monarchy in September or October
without more delay. And yet it is the agents of the
Ministry of the Interior, the Prefects, and Sub-Prefects
who are the first to agitate the country in favour of the
revision. We have lull proof of the matter, and when
the proper moment arrives we shall publish them. From
a partial revision the total revision has been arrived at.
It is no longer a question of temporising by extending
the powers of the President; the matter is now simply to
bring back his Majesty, Henry V., under the pretext
that every one is in favour of a change."
At a meeting of the Republican Members of the
Assembly, held on Saturday, the following resolution
was adopted :
" The members of the Republican and Democratic
Opposition, assembled together, declare that in presence
of the law of May 31, which suppresses three millions of
electors, and substitutes a restricted suffrage for uni-
versal suffrage, in presence of the acts which have cur-
tailed the rights and liberties of the people, considering
that all the projects of revision which have been brought
forward are evidently intended not to ameliorate the
Constitution, but to endanger the Republic—considering
all this, the said members declare that they are unani-
mously of opinion that every project of revision ought to
be opposed." •

Bourse, but the prices were firm, and the Five per

Wig, corn,
)act, importation from the sister isle; he took strong ex-
ercise, and pulled up tresli. Lord Eglinton's couple
were out some time, both took a stiff spin, and looked
particularly blooming; neither will win the Derby. Heart-
breaker's style of mounting the hill was capital; he'll
run forward in the race. Guy Mannering and Pay-
ment were also out, the latter, reported to have broken
down, took gentle exercise, and may yet convince
her opponents in the ring that her chance on
Friday is no hoax. Hesse Homburg looked and
went well, as did Catalpa, Lamartine, Louis
Napoleon, Midas, Runnymede, Narcissus, Buokthorne,
and the Black Doctor. The course, notwithstanding
the numerous showers that fell yesterday, is rather hard
than otherwise. The field for the great event of to-
morrow, will be composed, as near as I can possibly
tell at the present moment, of the following:_The
Prime Minister, The Marlborough Buck (Whitehouse),
Hernandez (Nat), Teddington (Barton), Heartbreaker
(Butler or Bartholomew), Theseus (S. Rogers), Lerner-
tine, Mountain Deer (A. Day), Neasham (Hanes),
Midas (Norman), Constellation (Templeman), Glen-
hawk (Dockeray), Telescope (Sly), -Bonnie. Dundee
(Sharp), Ariosto, The Ban (Pearl), The Tout, Guy
Manucring (probably Bartholomew), Hyppolytus
(Marlow), Louis Napoleon (Prince), Newminster, Hun-
gerford (Penn), The Black Doctor (Osborne), Runny-
mede, colt by Tearaway (Simpson), Bro to Chanti-
cleer, colt by Epirus, Azeth, Serus, England's Glory
(Wintringham), Buclhound (Kitchener), and Black
Douglass. My final opinions ou the foregoing are as
follows:—Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus, Azeth,
colts by Epirus and Tearaway, Runnymede,
The Black Doctor, Hungerford, Newminster,
Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The Tout, The
Ban, Ariosto, Telescope and Glenhawk, I find by my
accounts from Epsom and Leatherhoad this morning,
are, one and all, to be turned into the hopeless class;
NOT ONE OF THEM POSSESSING THE GHOST OF A CHANCE
OF WINNING ! Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Montt-
tain Deer, Hyppolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus,
will form the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE or
THIS SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN !
" Oh! who can count—not Pindar's self—
The names now put upon the shelf?
Oh! who can count the trembling hopes
When Epsom all its glories opes?"
Now for the first flight; it will, I fancy, consist of the
Premier, the Buck, Hernandez, Teddington, Heart-
breaker, and Lamartine; one of this lot, 1 am convinced,
must be the trump card to-morrow! As I remarked
yesterday, " if The PRIME MINISTER fails me, I shall
rely on HERNANDEZ and THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK to
pull my judgment through triumphantly;" fully ex-
pecting to see Teddington in the third or fourth position,
with Heartbreaker and Lamartino close up. Were Ito
place them, it would be thus—
THE PRIME MINISTER or
HERNANDEZ S 1
THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK 2
TEDDINGTON
HEARTBREAKER 4
The latest betting this day at Epsom, up to half-past
twelve, is as follows:—Derby-10 to 3 agst Teddington;
13 to 2 agst Hernandez; S to 1 agst The Marlborough
Buck; Bto 1 agst The Prime Minister; 16 to 1 agst
Constellation; 16 to 1 agst Theseus; 25 to 1 agst

Hyppolytus; 25 to 1 agst The Black Doctor; 50 to 1
agat Bonnie Dundee; 1000 to 15 agst Guy Mannering;
1000 toe agst Serus; 1000 to 5 agat Black Douglass.
Neasham was nominally st 20 to to 1, Mountain Deer
and The Ban at 33 to 1, and Newminster and the Tear-
away colt 50 to 1 each.

too, backed for several bundrad pounds at 10 to 3
and 7 to 2, Marlborough Buck, Theseus, The ;Black
Doctor, and Neaf:ham. Hernandez and Hippolytus
maintained their positions, but were not in force. The
Prime Minister opened at 8 to 1, went back a couple of
points, rallied a little, and left off at 9 to 1, taken, hav-
ing, however, some determined opponents. Constella-
tion receded to 17 to 1, and loft off almost frie adless.
Toe most noticeable " outside" betting was rgainat
Glenhawk, Mr. Davis accommodating all custonners at
1,000 to 10, until he had laid 50,0001. agaimt him! It
