Capital--500,000/.
(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 Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
',Teat. 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-
proached 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 tree 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 Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tire, 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
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.

THE ADVENT OF IN DUSTRY, 1851.
How few of the visitors of the Great Industrial Exhibition
will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to
produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now
=race the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind,
Li__u*, many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have,
'um as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the
Works upon which their whole energies have been expended for
months perhaps their whole means exhausted ! The Crystal
Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; 'but the
weeders there accumulated are also the results of cities and anxieties
unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce.
Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important esson ? Art,
science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would
progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see
at one view the wonders that can he achieved under the fostering
care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi-
tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may
be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be
achieved. Ile who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It
was this consideration th at indu,ed Messrs. E MOSES and SON to
enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun-
dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only
employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under
the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might
clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON
can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hutulreol. But
they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can
use, mid the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the
industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant
Payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an
article at nearly half the.usual, and *far better at that price, thin has
ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a
large capital and numbers of people does not end in tha mere fact of
low prices ; 'or these very low prices for good clothing enable thou-
sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices
. prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their
system of trading it was impossible to obtain good cheap clothing ;
LOW the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good
• Clothing accordln; to their eircumstawes. All classes can dress
well—all classes aught to dress well. It is worth the consideration
of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their
own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor-
tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES
and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS,
appro7pliate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they
Lave seen they will believe in the beauty and extent or a stock and
an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and ef their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only le,gall y quald medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through -secret practices acquired in youth. or by the excesses
of later years whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

RECEPTION of GENERAL SIR CHARLES
NAPIER at LEAMINGTON SPA.
On Monday last an influential meeting was held at the
Regent Hotel, Leamington, to determine upon the most
fitting public reception to be given to Sir Charles Napier
whose expected arrival the same evening had previously
transpired. After a suitable form of address'had been
adopted; it was resolved that ' the same should be pre-
seined to the General on his arrival at the railway station,
where a very large concourse of spectators assembled,
including, amongst ether principal inhabitants, Mr.
Turner (chairman of the meeting), Major Hopkins,
(master of the ceremonies), Captain Vandeleur,
Captain Harford, &c., together with a numerous assem.
blage of ladies. Sir Charles and Lady Napier having
alighted, the former was conducted by the M. C. to the
waiting-room of the station, where he experienced a re-
ception of the moat enthusiastic and cordial description.
Upon being introduced to the bevy of fair faces by whom
he found himself surrounded, the gallaut General very
courteously exclaimed—" This is most kind of you, ladies,
towards an old soldier!"
Mr. TURNER then said—Sir Charles Napier, I have
been deputed, and I consider it to be a very high honour,
to read to you the following address. It would be very
wrong in me to detain you with any observations, inas-
much as the achievements of the soldier, as awarded by
the acclamations of a grateful country, are more appro-
priate subjects for the page of history than for the
eulogium of the speaker. The document which I hold
in my hand is as follo-Wsi—" This address is 'presented.
from the magistrates, gentlemen, local authorities, and
principal inhabitants of Leamington, to General Sir
Charles Napier, &c., assuring him of the pleasure they
derive from witnessing his arrival at Royal Leamington
Spa, and from an opportunity of evincing the high respect
which they feel for his military valour and renown, and
their confidence that the national honour will ever be
promoted by so eminent and courageous a commander;
and that by instilling the soundest principles in the
British army he maintains the military character of our
country and the supremacy of our arms. With these
expressions of attachment and respect, the inhabitants
bid him welcome to their town."—(Cheers.)
Sir CHARLES NAPIER replied to the following effect:
Ladies and Gentlemen,—lt is very hard for me to reply
to your flattering address on the spur of the occasion.
To me it is a most unexpected honour, and, like many
other circumstances which promote our happiness'ni
life, is the more acceptable on that account; for we
rarely find that those things which are long expected are
so grateful to the heart as those which happen on the
moment and take us by surprise. I feel in every way
the manner in which I have been received in England;
and your welcome now,. when I come amongst you in a
private way, is the more deeply gratifying. I have
studiously avoided public dinners, because I have no
hesitation in saying, to use a common term, that there is
a great deal of humbug about such demonstrations, and
which, in my opiniou, neither mark a man's character
nor his feelings. You, however, have received me most
kindly and unexpectedly—l feel it deeply, and thank
you gratefully.—(Cheers.) Now, with the ladies' per-
mission, I will go and look for my wife.—(Laughter.)
The Gallant General then retired, amid the waving of
handkerchiefs, the smiles of the fair, all the enthusiastic
cheering of all present. •

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COM-
MISSION (IRELAND).
The following is a copy of a report dated the 3d
day of May, 1851, from the Encumbered Estates
Commissioners of Ireland, addressed, to his Excel!'
lency the Lord-Lieutenant, with respect td their
proceedings under the Encumbered Estates
•Corn-
mission :--
" Encunijaered Estates Commission
• nenrie P tta-street,ublin, Commission,
3.
" My tiAold,—We hive the honour to inform your Ex-
cellency that, on the 19th ult., we causes two- returns to
be transmitted to the office of the Secretetry of State for
Ireland in pursuance of a requisition of the House of
Commons.
" Those returns are necessarily very voluminous, atf.
they contain a detailed account of the proceedings of the
Encumbered E-tates Commission down to the 31st of
March, 1851. We think it right, therefore, in addition
to these returns, to submit the following brief report to
your Excellency.
" On the 25th of October, 1849, this court was opened
for public business.
" The total number of petitions presented up to the
31st of March, 1851, is 1,676.
"Upwards of one-half of the estates brought into our
court were under Chancery receivers, and in 147 cases
the proprietors had taken the benefit of the Insolvent
Debtors' Act.
" The number of petitions filed by owners is 319, or
about one-filth of the total number presented up to the
date above-mentioned. Several petitions, however, pre,
rented in the names of encumbraneers, appear to have
been ao presented at the instance of the owners.
" The total number of Court orders (not including
vast number issued by each Commissioner in chamber) ils
5,413, viz.:—
"Conditional orders for sale ... 1,240
" Absolute orders tor sale ... 1,036
" Miscellaneous orders ... •3,137
" The gross total of the rentals, us set out in the
petitions to 31st of March, 1851, is 1,036,9751. 1 ls. Bcli
but the actual. amount would probably not exceed
850,000/., as in some cases more than one petition has
beep presented for the sale of the same estate; and the
rentals attached to the petitions frequently exceed the
true rentals,of the estates.
"The gross total of the encumbrances, as set out its
the petitions filed to 31st of March, 1851, is
47,971,321/. ls. Id. But several of those encumbrancers
being judgments, and other securities collateral with
mortgages and the like, are returned in duplicate in
the schedule, and in this way mentioned twice; and it
sometimes happens, that the same encumbrance affecting
the estates of different owners is mentioned in more
than one petition.
" As to estates sold:—
" The number of estates sold to March 31, 1851, lig
253; the total acreage of which, statute measure, is
227,329 A. 3n. 3.1 r. Of this the quantity of arable land
may be about 210,000 acres, or nearly one-sixty-fifth of
the arable land of It:eland, which is estimated in the
latest Poor-law returns to bo 13,464,300 acres.
" The rental of estates sold to March 31, 1851, is
107,7071. 15s. id., or about 120th of the net annual
poor-law valuation of Ireland.
" The total amount of encumbrances on estates sold
to Marci, 31, 1851, as taken from the schedules lodged
with the titions, is 4,086,1921.4 d.; but, as before
mentioned, several of these encumbrances are returned
in duplicate.
" The total amount of purchase-mone for estates sold
y
to March 31, 1851, is 1,350,616/. Os. 4d. Of this amount
94,404/. 13s. 4d., or about one-fifteenth part, has been
allowed in payment of encumbrancers, who became pur-
chasers.
" The Commissioners have paid out to creditors and
claimants up to this date, 3d day of May inclusive, the
sum of 838,3564 Os. Id.
" The '253 estates sold to March 31, 1851, have been
disposed of to 587 purchasers, nearly one-half of whoin
are purchasers of lots that sold respectively for sums not
exceeding 1,0001.
" Property to the amount of about 160,0001. has been
acquired by English or Scotch purchasers (about 30 in
number), as far as can be collected from their addresses,
stated in the deeds of conveyance.
a Estates have sold best in Antrim, Down, Meath,
Westmeath, Tyrone, and Dublin, and at lowest rates in
Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, and Mayo. In the latter
counties the rents reserved are generally so dispropor-
tional to the value as to afford no true measure of the:
income derivable out of the lands; and the heavy poor.
law taxation in the same districts has added to the de-
preciation of value, but a progressive, though slow, im-
provement in the sales is manifest even in those counties.
"As to the rates of purchase generally, it is falla-
cious to estimate the number of years from the published
rentals, which usually represent the rents of 1845 and
previous years, and which, in many instances, were even
then excessive, and far bey and any sums that could pos-
sibly. be collected from the tenants. Besides, the de-
cuppeg tenantry of many estates sold in this court!.
owed several years' arrears of rent to the former owners,
and much of the land had been exhausted or mire-
claimed and devoid of suitable farm-buildings—a stateof
things which would necessarily require a heavy outlay
by the incoming purchasers. be
The Commissioners are of opinion that ip would
most desirable to authorise them, in fit and properen
to sell (together with' the estate) all arrears of rent
at the time of the sale.
