STOCK, which possesses peculiar advantages both in quality and
price. There is a general complaint that the internal fittings of dress-

been celebrated for the superiority of his cutlery, and has bestowed
equal pains in bringing to perfection his tooth, nail, hair, and shav-

that each article in a dressing-case should be perfect in itself, so as
to render the whole useful and complete. Those who desire to have

EQUITABLII FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable
Rates ot Premium for each class ot risl.:—Annual division of Profits.
Ihe 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 foun4 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 Firo Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached 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 Ayer 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 fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
seen 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.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sus,—From the report of the debate on the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, I
perceive that the Hon. Member for the county of Ayr (with
which lam connected) has favoured the House with his
opinion on that important measure. Considering the fact,
that the House is but rarely favoured with the eloquence of
the Hon. Member, his opinions are, probably, on that account
entitled to the more respect. I have no desire to act uncha-
ritably towards him, but I cannot resist the temptation of
correcting an assertion which he made in the course of his
remarks, and which will have a damaging influence
on the character of the constituency which he repre-
sents. He said, "No public meeting bas been held in
the county which I represent, which may be considered
the stronghold of the Covenant." lam not aware what
the Hon. Gentleman deems a public meeting, but I can in-
form him that a meeting was held in the county town, which
was attended by gentlemen, lay and clerical, from almost all
the Protestant bodies, and which passed resolutions that up-
hold the character of the descendants of the Covenanters.
My memory does not serve me well on the matter, but I am
inclined to think that the meeting referred to was not a soli-
tary one. One thing lam assured of, that from no county,
in proportion to its inhabitants, have more petitions been'raised
on the question of Papal aggression; and I am convinced
that any of Mr. 03wald's constituents who belong to the
Free Church are at his service at any time to state to him
the difference which exists between the right which they
claim for their spiritual head in the Church of Scotland, and
that of the Pope in claiming the spiritual superintendence of
all within his bishops' sees. By inserting the above you will
oblige, Your very obedient servant,
Edinburgh, Feb. 15, 1851. J. ANDERSON.
