EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., 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 Insarance 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 Clasaffleation and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the b3nus 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
supporthag 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 tin e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the rh.t 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 re,turn 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 y tar&
Insurances against Loss' by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Proneriv on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at b'r. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its, Agents.

OMFORT in. SHAVING depends on the proper
use of a good Razor, an efficient Strop, and a Paste to renovate
the surface of the Strop, when it becomes black and choked with the
steel from the Razor; 'to these must be added a Soap that will not
dry suddenly on the fat:e, and a smooth taper-pointed elastic Shaving-
brush. Unless all these points are attended to, and the Razor
wiped and stropped after shaving, that operation must always be a
troublesome, even if not a painful one. Those gentlemen whose
shaving apparatus is d cfective. are invited to I. J. RIECIII'S Esta-
blishment, No. 4, Lea denhall-street, London, where they will not
only obtain all they require for the toilet reasonable and efficient, bat
may also procure gratis, his instructions for easy shaving, stropping,
&c.—A large assortment of Papier-mache manufactures, dressing-
cases, work-boxes, and writing-desks, bagatelle-tables, &c.

V. MOSES AND SON'S LEADER.
itA• From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson
may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take
warping from the el tstractions consequent on change, and by so
guiding oar every act ion render it in all absolute essentials perfectly
unnecessary.
But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human
mind, and from the pi •ogressive action of the times—change is abso-
lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen-
tal principles are corr act, change is needless, although we grant the
modes of carrying the m out may vary.
Take, for instance, the fundamental principles upon which E.
MOSES and SON have establisher, carried on, and still maintain
their gigantic project •of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters,
Hcsiers, Boot and Sh oemakers, and General Outfitters ; and when
their unbounded succtss is considered (a success which has had no
limit except that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which
limit ime itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES
and SON are concei ned change is needless. The fundamental prin-
ciples up in which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large
capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the
cheapest rate; to mi ke enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to
sell at the cheapest z ates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope-
rative departments, i and so to gain and keep an immense connexion ;
and should perchance 3 a caprice supervene, without argument, meet
it by exchanging the purchase, or should circumstances require a
return of
tiemonesyu,rneiy,itl lout quibble or equivocation to afford a ready
oin
then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con-
cerned—change is needless.
As Tailors, that E. MOSES and SON have carried out their prin-
ciples, the immense ;mass of their supporters, who are as regular in
their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove.
Surely. then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
As Hatters, they have studied every combination of use and
beauty, and rendered a good Hat attainable by everybody. Surely,
then, as Hatters, with, E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
As Boot-makers, l ii. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma-
nently, and deserved ly got the length of the foot of the public at
large, as they have accomplished what has ne,er been before at-
tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the
choicest products oft he trade, and by a happy union, have produced
a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Boot-
makers, then, with E,. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
But all honour to t he ladies and honour to those who study their
comforts, their pleas tires. Who so eminently has done this as E.
MOSES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves ; let there be
no vain-glorious hoe sting ; crown them with the wreath of Fame
made trebly precious by your touch; see their Riding Habits, their
Shawls, their Hosier v, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs,
the tribute of all clip Les; notice that by exertion, by industry, by
skill, and by moderal .ion in price, that they have placed them within
the reach of all ; anc I then you will unhesitatingly declare, that. as
ladies' men so far as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is
needless.
Change, then, is needless, because the principles which have
placed E. MOSES at id SON in the proud, the enviable position they
occupy, shall be still continuo/ to keep them there ; and, as it has
been ably sail, that the best sense Is common sense, which the pub-
lic possesses in abun. lance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni-
versally proclaimed, loudly and strongly, that so far as the patron-
age extended to E. (LOSES and SON—change is needless.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LOWESTOFT HARBOUR AND RAILWAY.
(From the Norwich Mercury.)
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at the offices in Lowestoft, on Satur-
day last; S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., in the chair. There
was a large attendance of proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN said—lt is first my duty and pleasure
to,cangeatulata you upon thrfacte of the "virtual com-
pletion of your harbour, and still more so on the fact
of its having been completed within the capital. You
will recollect that at the last meeting I expressed a hope
that such would be the case. The total amount we
were authorised to raise by our Act, and within which
the expenditure on the works was to bo kept, was
320,000/. You will see by reference to the capital ac-
count that the total amount expended has been 322,7611.;
put then I have to inform you that there are credits for
surplus lands sold, and materials in hand, &c., which
will reduce that amount below the 320,0001., so that no
further capital will be required.—(Hear, hear.) The
directors also have to announce that the works of the
railway and harbour being now completed, the same are
now legally invested in the Norfolk Railway Company,
and that a deed is now in course of preparation declare-
tery of this fact—that course having been recommended
by counsel, although there seems to be some doubt as to
whether the same is actually necessary or not; but the
proprietary will understand that none of their rights,
with respect to dividends will be interfered with by this
proceeding. I do not intend to occupy the time of the
meeting at any length on this occasion, because Captain
Andrews will speak upon all the points interesting to
you. It is exceedingly gratifying to me to assure you,
that during the last year all our anticipations with re-
ference to the harbour have been more than reelized.—
(Hear, hear.) You will hear of the increase of our re-
venue and of the future prospects which on all hands
are opening to 113.—(Hear, hear.) I stated at the last
meeting that I was in negotiation with parties for the
erection of oil steam mills. This negotiation has bee❑
ceucluded, and the mills are in course of erection. I
have also been in negotiation with parties for the erec-
tion of very large steam flour mills, and lam happy to
inform you that during the year a steam mill will be
erected here, only second in size to one other in the
kingdom, and on the same plan as that in the vicinity of
Thames-street, which is seen so distinctly from Black-
friars-bridge. These two erections, the oil mill and the
flour mill, cannot but be conducive to the increase of the
harbour dues and of the traffic) of the Norfolk Railway.
We are also proceeding with the erection of warehouses,
which are very much needed. As the capital of the com-
pany does not enable us to build them, they are being
erected for us, with the agreement that within the next
ten years we may purchase them should we desire and be
in a position to do so. Captain Andrews will also detail to
you the formation of a Northern Steam Packet Company,
of which he has accepted the office of managing director, and
the various arrangements that are in progress with refe-
rence to the carrying out of that undertaking. I need not
point out to you how large an interest we have in the
success of such an undertaking, both as to the character
of the port, and the large amount of increase which must
necessarily result in the harbour dues and railway traffic.
Having arrived at this point—the completion of our rail-
way and harbour—we have directed our attention, care-
fully and anxiously, to the future expenses of the main-
tenance of the harbour, and I am happy to inform you that
the whole cost of maintenance will be within the esti-
mates originally laid before you when the undertaking
was commenced.—(Hoar, hear.) I will not detain you
further, but with your permission I will at once recom-
mend the reception of the capital account. With respect
to the revenue account, I should say that it is furnished
by the Eastern Counties Company, and we aro obliged
to publish it, in order to show that there are no surplus
profits accruing beyond the four per cent. to which the
original proprietors are entitled.
The statement of accounts was then put in, from
which it appeared that on the capital account the total
receipts from all sources up to 31st December, 1850, had
been 322,761/. 18s. Bd. The outlay for the railway, up
to the same period, had been 140,8451. 15s. ld , and
for harbour works 184,5311. Is. Bd.; general charges
for creosote works, dredging machinery, coal lifters,
&c. 27,180/. 9s. 3d.; making a total of 352,5571. 6s.
From this amount there was to be deducted 32,3651. 7s.
6d. for sale of surplus lands, payment of Easters Coun-
ties Railway for steam-boats, timber, rails, and other
stores in stock, sale of old materials, &c., which reduced
it to 320,1911. 18s. 6i., leaving a balance in hand of
2,570/. Os. 2il. The revenue account for the half-year
ending January 4, 1851, showed that the receipts of the
harbour and railway were 7,2161. 25., and the expendi-
ture 4,8581. 145., leaving a balance of 2,357/, Bs.
Oa the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr.
LEITHEB, the statement of accounts was received and
approved.
Mr. SULTZER inquired whether the deed that had
been referred to by the chairman was there and could be
produced?
The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, and said that
he had been advised that it was in course of preparation.
P, however, Mr. Sultzer, or any other proprietor would
like to ace a draft of the deed before it was executed, he
should feel great pleasure in affording them an oppor-
tunity of perusing it.
Mr. SULTZER said hie object in making the inquiry
was to ascertain if there was any clause or provision in
the deed which would secure to the original proprietors
their rights to the surplus profits.
Mr. Pannell., the solicitor to the company, said that
according to the Act of Parliament the railway and
harbour, as soon as completed, passed to the Norfolk
Company; and the deed to which Mr. Peto referred was
simply a declaration that they had so passed, and would
not in any way affect the interests of the original share-
holders.

Mr. SULTZER.—Do you refer to the first Act?
Mr. .

Mr. PARKER.—To both Aots.

The CHAIRMIN.-^lt is of great importance to the
company, that after having completed the works, there
