GOD SAVE THE QUE,:N, 2s.—" Mr. S. Nelson has produced a
capital arrangement of God Save the Queen,' for one or tour
voices, exce ding in effect, and scientific care, everything that we
have seen. Just now, when all Englishmen are anxious to evince
their loyalty to their beloved Queen, this edition of the National
Anthem (with an additional sianz t for the Prince of Wales) will
meet with a cordial welcome."—Vide Caml.ridge Advertiser, Jan. 8.
THE DEsER I FLOWER, 2s. Gd.—" Mr. Barber has a par-
ticular knack of taking hold of words adapted fir song, which seem
to run of their own accord to his charming melodic'. These songs
of his have a power' the wearied and sad from their sorrow to save.'
' The Desert Flower' must inevitably be a favourite at this season,
when friends are meeting, and each thinks of his home far away '
The title-page has a very approdriate illustration by Selb."—Vide

the difficulty of collectina the elements on which to proportion
rretnium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been co
ereat. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess

Nan calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual looses of the
different Estdblished Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highe+t importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk b.' made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
canes Company is established.
the true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
.)roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied.
Whatever he 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 Lnsurer
is largely interested in this ~nestion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classified,.
tion and .Aver ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.

"A most touching ballad, by George Barker. We have heard
nothing like it for a !o.ig while past. There is a sweetness about it,
which makes even sorrow delightful. It will be found to be quite a
treat by those who are pensively inclined. The words are given in
`,;ocks's Musical Miscellany,' for January, 1851."—Vide Cambridge

COME• WITH ME to the HAUNTED STREAM, 2s.—" This
is a beautiful fairy song. Those who have heard it sung by Miss
Lucombe, will not want reminding of the almost unearthly effect
which was communicated to the very charming melody. The music
is by George Barker, and that is to say enough to recommend it to
all genuine lovers of the English ballad style."—Vide Cambridge Ad..

Albert. London : Cocks and Co., New Burlington-street.—" This
quadrille richly merits the appellation of Great' fastened upon it—
a more effective, spirit-stirring, or delightful one we never listened
to. The national airs of the different countries are cleverly intro-
duced. The finale is a combination of each, concluding with ' God

..-...... ,
The Equitable Fire Office will, hy a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tiii 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.

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.
