without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by
simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with-
held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the
event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the
Policy, on Its surrender oue-half of the annual payments will be
returned by the Society.
Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health
and payment of arrears of Premium without interest.

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates 01 Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Protits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
frenaium 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 trite rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
aroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss-for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
'*lxtirelrintbrestediirnes nosinsicestiWtmitttrimi intlfeist-ty'
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
don and Average, the Premium will be prcpertioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis 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
-3xcess 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
,very description of Property on moderate terms.

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency
of ONE PAYMEN C to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF
LIFE.
The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re-
newa lof premium.
By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all
those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors
among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com-
pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than
is offered by any existing Company.
Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his
death 1.,y railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa-
tives the full amount of his Policy.
If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company
will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.
Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and
on any railway in the United Kingdom.
The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following
terms, viz. :
For every Policy of 100/. 01. ss. I For every Polley of 1,000/. 2/. 2s.

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 200/.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
Nortality, 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 let of June, 1849, 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 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
of these 12i, comprising
106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s.
fiixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the c anmencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
:assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro-
,lucing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
to 93 Geinl AA-- of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of Jane last equal to
2,9911. 15s. lid.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their busineis on
the Continent, having appointed, as Bead 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 matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish, 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, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
' ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

ASYNOPSIS OF A SYSTEM.
The " Times" newspaper of the 9th of April, in an able arti-
cle on the sanitary condition of society, says—" That it can no longer
be said that the working Englishman is ill clothed." The writer is
convinced, as must be everybody on observation, that a complete
change has taken place within the last few years in this respect—a
change whose origin is easily demonstrable, on an impartial review
of EIYAM and Co.'s operations.
The proprietors have already argued and proved their priority in
co' nexion with that system which has done so much for the commu-
nity at large, as every candid statist has seen and acknowledged.
When iIYAM and Co. projected their first undertaking many years
ago, and hazarded a large capital in bringing into operation an en-
tirely new order of things, they found the tailoring trade in the posses-
sion and under the control of private speculators, who found the high
prices of the few sufficient for their own personal consideration. Now,
however advantageous and lucrative this system of things may have
Droved to those who practised it, it was undoubtedly most inimical
to the interests o. the public at large ; confining, as it did, the bene-
fits of good clothing to the possessors of plentiful purses.
lIYAM and Co , on carefully weighing this state of things, resolved
on starting a system of cheapness, assured that an adequate compen-
sation would be realised in what they would term
" THE MONEY OF. THE MANY."
Such an immense reduction did HYAM and Co. make in the old
''exorbitant priltits; Mt the practieubillty of the system was for a con-
siderable time regarded as a matter of doubt but the money of the
many was secured, and the money of the mane, as anticipated, re-
moved every stumbling block, and brought about a successful work-
ing of the system. Let it not be understood, however, that cheap-
ness was the only feature in HYAIt and Co.'s new system. It would
have been very easy for th.• proprietors to have accommodated mat-
ters by manufacturing inferior materials, and by employing second-
rate cutters and workmen. But the contrary of this was the case.
While the r trading glass was low in point of price, it was high with
reference to those essential particulars—
FASHION AND QUALITY.
The money of the many, which enabled them to sell at a moderate
rate, enabled them, also, to buy the best materials, and to employ
ho best workmen. The interests of all classes had never before been
assimilated in tee tailoring trade ; an invidion distinction was in-
variably made, and if a person, not happily situated in a pecuniary
sew e, desired an article of dress, he was insulted by being presented
with a perfectly different design in cut and snake.
Pint lIYANI and Co. discarded such practices. and convinced the
public that first-rate articles of dress could be sold for charges which
appeared at one time a very doubtful novelty.
Such was the system of lIYAM and Co., a system which Great
Britain at large has recogniseA in the most satisiactory manner; and
hence that improved appearance in clothing to which the first jour-
mil in the world has alluded.
True, indeed, it ,s, that an improvement in this respect is ma-

iiifest.
The Ten Establishnymts f HYAM and Co. in the most popular
and populous towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a
550.0(0/. capital are not employed without effect.
From thousands and hundreds of thonsand,. do lIYA.III and Co.
meet with support; by all classes of the community are their arti-
cles of attire adoptel, and in every direction are the proprietors'
fashions traceable; nor can ILYA NI and Co. (while they feel grateful
for such results) refrain from some degree of self-congratulation at
thus being the projectors and promoters of a system which has pro-
duced s, evident an improvement, in one feature at least, of the sani-
tary condition of the BrVish public.

The high rate of interest (rarely] less than 8 per cent) charged by
landlords in the s'i Tyc.k of rent to terra its, has rendered desirable the
formation of a Society en 'Wing occupiers to borrow, at a' fah' ate of
interest, the styli fur which their dwellings can be purchased, alloy-
ing a term of years far ri payment sufficient to licylidaae the whole
amount, hy simply paying their rents to the society. The average
value beirg 111,,i years' purcbsse, 15 s-ears will be allowed for repay-
ment, 3y, years be.ng sufficient to pay the interest; but as some
would prefer reps; ing in a less period, the following Table of Repay-

the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions %ay have become debili-

of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-

RMINGHAM, MAT 12.
STOCK EXCHANGE..—The Railway Market continues un-
satisfactory; and, so far as London is concerned, it is inferred
' that speculation has been eonsiderably damped by the recent
high charges of interest for continuations. To-day business
was no better than it has been for some days past. The
market was extremelelv inactive. The only transaction we
heard of as effected on 'Change was Midland (Birmingham
and Derby ), 36 ; but other sales were made in private, of
which no report was made.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
William Griffin, a young man of respectable appearance,
surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of assaulting
Maria Palmer,
Mr. Ballantine and
Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prosecution on behalf of
the South-Eastern: Railway Company;
Mr. Robinson appealed for the defendant.
The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, said that the
directors of the South-Eastern Railway had felt it their duty
to institute this prosecution on account of the assault im-
puted to the defendant having been committed upon a person
in humble circumstances, who we.s'at the time a traveller in
one of their trains. They felt that a person in such a posi-
tion was entitled to receive protection front every description
of insult and annoyance; and upon the facts coming to their
knowledge they considered it their duty to take care that the
matter should be investigated by a jury.
,
The particulars of the case havitig been given in evidence
Mr. IiALLANTINf:, in addressing the jury for the defendant,
said he would not attempt to deuy that the company had
only performed their duty in bringing forward the present
charge; but at the same time he ha i great confidence that
the jury would not convict a young man who, he should
show them, had up to this time borne an unimpeachable
character, and for ever destroy his reputation, upon the evi-
dence that had been laid be:ore then].
Several highly respectable witnesses were then examined,
all of whom described the defendant as being entitled to the
character of a well-conducted respectable young man.
The jury stopped the Learned Recorder as he was about to
sum up, and said they were unanimously of opinion that the
charge had not been made out; and they therefore returned
a verdict of Not Guilty.
The REcoaDEn remarked that although the jury had come
to this conclusion, there was no doubt that it was a very
proper matter to be inquired into.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE said that, upon the company beirg ac-
quainted with the facts, they felt that they had no altgruotive
but t 9 institute a prosecution.

Mr. BaLt.a.vrttitt said he did not at all complain of the
course that had been pursued. On the contrary, he thought
the company had done no .more than their duty.
The defendant was then discharged.
George Pearsonßarrett, 40, and Enoch Pearson Barrett, -37,
were indicted for stealing a truss of goods, the property of
the London; Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company.
and Robert Abbott, 29, who surrendered to take his trial, was
indicted for feloniously receiving a portion of the property,
knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddlestone conducted the pries%
cution. The prisoners were severally defended by Me.
O'Brien. Air. Parnell, and Mr. Woollett.
The circumstances of the case were reported at the hot
session, when the two Barretts were convicted of an offence
of a similar character. The evidence went to show that
Enoch Barrett was in the service of the Loudon and Brighton
Railway Compannand he was stationed as switchman at
the Bricklayers' Arms junction, and there was very little
doubt that he and his brother George had been concerned in
a very extensive system of plundering goods trains. Abbott,
it appeared, was brother-in-law to the other prisoners, and
resided at Newport Pagnell, and upon the officer searching
his house, he found a watch and other articles the produce of
a robbery that had been committed upon the railway in 1849,
and the whole of which he subsequently admitted he had
received from the prisoner George Barrett.
The jury found all the prisoners Guilty of feloniously re-
ceiving the property. but recommended-Abbott to the merci-
ful consideration of the Court.
Judgment was deferred.

THE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN
IN VAUXHALL-WALK.

Yesterday evening the inquiry into the circumstances con-
nected with this horrible murder, which was adjourned for
the purpose of affording time for a post-mortem examination
of the deceased, was resumed before Mr. Payne, at Guy's
Hospital.
-Therroova where the jury met for this purpose was exceed-
ingly small and inconvenient, and the foreman expressed his
surprise to the coroner that in such an extensive establish-
ment, and one in which numerous inquests were held, a more
commodious place could not have been afforded them for one
evening.
The CORONER, after consulting for some time with the in-
spector who has the case in hand, said that he did not think
he would find it necessary to detain the jury upon this occa-
sion. From what he had heard from the inspector, he be-
lieved he would best consult the ends of justice by adjourning
the inquiry for a few days longer. Before he did so be should
wish to hear the evidence of the house surgeon, Mr.W. Rhys,
who had made the post-mortem examination.
Mr. W. Rhys said he had made the post-molfem examina-
tion as directed, but nothing he had noticed had altered his
original opinion--namely, that death resulted from extensive
injuries to the head. That was the only conclusion he could
arrive at after a most careful investigation of the injuries
which the deceased had sustained.
[Though it did not come out in the evidence yesterday,
we may state that the post-mortem examination which was
made immediately after the termination of the inquiry on
Tuesday last, showed that all the organs of the body were in
a perfectly healthy condition. Upon the scalp were several
large lacerated wounds, corresponding to which were simple,
compound, and comminuted fractures of the skull, extending
across the whole of the frontal and spheroid bones. The
temporal muscles were completely crushed; the dura mater
and brain lacerated, and a large quantity of extravasated
blood was found upon both hemispheres of the brain. In
-fact, hardly a single internal portion of the head had
escaped destruction.]
The evidence of some of the witnesses was then read over
to them, at the conclusion of which,
The Commiga expressed a desire to see the stones which
were picked up on the spot where the man was murdered.

called the attention of the coroner to certain discolourations
uponP
Mr. W. Rhys was recalled, and stated, in reply to a ques-
tion from the coroner, that he did not believe the stains were
caused by human blood, or blood at all. He thought it was
entirely owing to the " glaze" having been knocked off, and
some slight mineral discolouration taken place, but he would
examine it more closely if it was thought necessary.
The CORONRR having expressed a wish to that effect, Mr.
Rhys took away one of the stones, and shortly returned,
stating that though the spots which had been indicated
were not mineral stains, and wiped away, leaving a slight
reddish mark upon white blotting paper, still the result was
not sufficiently decisive to enable him to declare it blood.
The CORONER then said, he understood that the Commis-
sioners of Police had taken up the matter with that spirit
which they generally showed, and were bound to show,
upon this occasion, when one of their men had been killed.
He thought it would not be desirable to carry the case be-
fore the present sessions, as there was not sufficient evidence
collected to enable them to prosecute As • the magistrate
would no doubt remand the prisoners again, he thought it
would be better if they met some time next week, as by
that period much important evidence would be forthcoming.
The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday next, at two
o'clock.
