EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara—Moderato and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
rTeminm 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-
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 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 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 titre, adopt such rates of Preminm 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 fitly 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.

ATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVEN-TRY-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 2801.—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 assured between the Ist of June, 1849_, and
the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than doable the number issued in
the twelve mouths preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Os.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 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 110,972/. 128. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 11s. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/.,
but 1,133/. Ils. 108. 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 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 Archbishop 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.

GROSS SUPERSTITION.—At the Bristol Police-court
on Saturday, George Padfield, a notorious " conjuror" and
" fortune-teller," was charged by two well-dressed women,
who gave their names Mary Bryant and Ann Hastings, with
obtaining money from them under false pretences. Padfield
lives in Gravel -street, one of the most disreputable localities
in the city, and the complainants, who, from their appear-
ance and address, certainly ought to have known better,
stated that they went to his house and asked to have their
fortunes told. The " wise man" desired one of them to take
a chair, and the other another, and place themselves in cer-
tain positions, which they did. He then took a teacup con-
taining some grounds,, and desired Mary. Bryant to " cast"
them. Having complied with his request, he carefully
inspected the grounds, and told her she would have mush
trouble ; but perhaps seeing a look of some disappointment
In the face of the lady, he inspected them a second time, and
said she would be very prosperous. The ladies not liking
this "double" kind of prophesying, took up the money which
they had deposited on the table as the " conjuror's fee,"
when he seized one of them by the throat, and made use of
very offensive language and threats to them. They gave
him some money to pacify him, and made their way to the
door, but he followed them into the street abusing them,
s lost

rogue and vagabond.
IMPERIAL SALT AND ALKALI COMPANY.—Yester.
day the first meeting to settle the list of contributories
brought in by Mr. Turquand, the official manager, for whom
Mr. C. L. Webb appeared as counsel, was held before Master
Tiuney. The liabilities are alleged to amount to little short
of 100,0001., but a very large proportion of them are dis-
puted, and it is stated that the company's property and plant
at Stokewitas near Worcester, will realise considerable assets.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Aram 25.—The arrivals of wheat, barley,
and beans are good this week; the wheat trade rules dull at
last week's prices, and the demand is rather inactive than other-
wise, as our millers evince but little disposition to go into
stock. Fine barley supports late rates; oats, shelling, and
beans rather lower.

NEWBURY, APRIL 24.—Our supply of wheat to-day
is only moderate, but fully sufficient to meet the require-
ments of the home trade, to which the demand is almost
entirely confined. Sales proceed slowly, and late rates
were barely supported. Barley, short supply, and many
of our maltstera having finished, the demand was mostly
for seed and grinding qualities, and we can note no im-
provement from last week. Beans, peas, and oats, short
supply, and in fair request at fall rates. In seeds, a fair
demand at full rates.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 25.—At this day's market there
was only a small attendance of the town and country
trade, who bought very sparingly of wheat at Tuesday's
prices. Flour was much pressed on the market, and
where sales were made a reduction of 6d per sack and
barrel was generally submitted to. Fine mealing oats
were held for id per 451bs advance, which in some mea-
sure checked the demand; but oatmeal was in brisk re-
quest at an improvement of 33 per load. Barley, beans,
and peas were without material alteration in value.
Indian corn met with little inquiry, and must be noted
fully 6d per quarter lower.
EXETER, APRIL 25.—Cattle Market—The num-
ber of beasts driven in was not large, and the
business done not very extensive. Pannier—Tur-
keys, 6s to is 6d; ducklings, 5s to 6s 6d per couple;
fowls, 3s 9d to 4s 9d ditto; spring chicken; 3s

3s 6d each; galenas, 5s to 5s 63 per couple; butter, is
to Is ld per lb; eggs, 20 to 22 for Is. Corn Exchange—
The samples of grain generally have been scarce. Eng-
lish Wheat is 53 per bushel for prime, and 5s 3d ditto,
when warranted the half hundreds. Red French is
offering at the quay at 393 per quarter (601bs to the
bushel). Polish Odessa wheeast Bridgwater is offered
at 37s 6cl per quarter. Barley, 3s per bushel. Oats are
very scarce, 2s 6d per bushel has been given, and we
have heard of as much as 2s 93 in some instances. Fine
flour, 28s to 303 per sack. Wool—The staplers will not
give more than 7-id per lb.
BANGOR, APRIL 25.—Wheat, without alteration, best
qualities, 40s to 425; middling and inferior. 37s to 40s;
barley and oats were not so plentiful as of late, which
caused a slight advance in price. The former sold at
21s to 235; the latter at 15s to 17s; oatmeal was the turn
in favour of the seller.

sale. The provision market was well supplied. Beef;

Si to 6s 6d per quarter; mutton, Sid to 7d per lb. Butter

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 25.—The market
is still very dull, and the transactions of the only two business
days since our last are quite unimportant. In refiners' produce
there is rather more business doing, at steady prices. Rum is
rather quiet.—Bristol Mercury.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES
WOOL TRADE.—LnNDoN, THURSDAY. The wool mar
ket has been steedy, but not at all active. The imports
within the last tew days have only comprised a few bales
from the Cape of Good Hope.
Eemeesu WOOL, APRIL 25.—There continues to be
rather more inquiry for combing
wools to supply the
current wants of the manufacturers, and prices are firm
and stationary at last week's rates.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, APRIL 24.—Business in wool is
very quiet, though there has, perhaps, been a shade more
done in consequence of larger arrivals. No change in
price. Imports during the past week are:-2,280 Peru-
vian sheep's and alpaca, 535 Oporto and Lisbon, 175
Buenos Ayres, 213 East India, 692 Mediterranean, 633
Turkey.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—There was very little business
done at the Cloth Halls on Saturday, but on Tuesday
there was a fair average quantity of fine and middle
qualities sold; but low goods have been very dull of sale.
Prices are without any alteration. Tho buyers who visit
the market being, as usual, engaged at home during the
Easter holidays, have not been down, and business in
consequence has been dull in the warehouses since this
day week.
BRADFORD, APRIL 24.—Wool—There is no improve-
ment in the choice of wools in the market, the arrivals
during the week being very limited. The indifferent
supply has given a tone of confidence to the holders, who
are firm' at recsnt prices, and in some instances an ad-
vance of 5s per pack is sought. The position of the spin-
ners is not in any way improved, so as to enable them
to pay even old prices. Yarns—This has been a week
of very diminished production, for the spinners leave
availed themselves of the opportunity of making repairs,
which has tended to the stoppage of their works. There
is, however,.a greater disposition to buy yarns than has
been manifest for some months; and contracts for dis-
tant delivery would be made by the manufacturers, but
rejected by the spinners, at a small advance; for such is
the ruinous price, there must be either a considerable ad-
vance or much unemployed machinery. As it is evident
no relief can be had from wool, the conflict must be be-
tween spinner and consumer. Pieces—There is nothing
calling for comment since our last. The manufacturers
are not placed in a very enviable position, for during the
dull months usual after Christmas. goods have fallen to
a price below what they can be produced for.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER APRIL 24.—Prices continue
to decline, both in piece goods and yarns, and our market
has given way to-day fully to the extent of the decline
in cotton at Liverpool, consequent on the unfavourable
news by the Franklin and Cenada steam-ships, from the
New York cotton markets. The decline upon last week's
prices may be quoted at lid to 3d per piece in cloth, and
at id per lb in yarn; and it has been difficult to obtain,
much business even at these concessions. The home trade
have been making a good deal of inquiry, but the want'
of confidence and general instability operates prejudia_
chilly to this branch of cur trade, as well as to the
shipping interest. A curtailment of production continues
to be spoken of as a means of enabling producers to
sustain prices at something like an equivalent rate with
the quotations of the raw material; but as with many of
the smaller manufacturers a stoppage of the moving
power might involee.an insurmountable difficulty in start-;
ing again, au extensive unanimity on this point can
scarcely be leaked for. The necessities of these parties
cause groat irregularities in the market, and the reduction
in the rates of cotton, from this amongst other causes,
makes the business doing very unremunerative. For
several months past we have indicated the probability of
a decline in the cotton market as a consequence of les-
sened consumption, and increased estimates of crop, but
notwithstading the decrease of price which has already
taken place, it is still selling at nearly one-half above
the rates of the early part of 1849, when fair uplands

was only 4id per lb, and it may be questioned if we have
seen the minimum of the present season.
