EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0r 01.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium fur each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Inseranco against Loos 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 the object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.

The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
proached 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 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 Aver,ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal:, sis of its own
experience, from time to tie e, adopt such ratis of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariff-4 with other offices.
With this view an annual investigalon will be made int, each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be m ,de to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

Insurances against Coss by Fire are effected by this Cost3p&ny upon

A IV ELL-EA-WIRD COMPLIMENT.—CAPT. BRISTEAD.
—0 n the 7th inst. Captain Binstead, R.N., received a letter
from the secretary of the Royal Humane Society, informing
him that the Court were pleased to " award him the medal
for his humane and noble conduct in recently plunging into
the river Calder, and saving the life of a beautiful little girl."
This intimation, couched in such expressive language, cannot
fail to be highly gratifying to the gallant captain for the
disinterested services rendered to an helpless child. It is
not, however, the possession of this testimonial which has
been presented to Captain Binstead that will prove the most
enduring, but the satisfaction in feeling that he has been the
instrument in snatching from a watery grave a fellow-
creature, though it was nearly at the cost of his own life. It
will be remembered that a child had, some time in October
last, unfortunately fallen into the river Calder, near Wake-
field, and would most certainly have been drowned had not
Captain Binstead come up at the moment, when he imme-
dkately plunged, iu his clothes, into the water.—Doncaster
Gazette.
DEATH OF WALTER BAINE, ESQ., OF GREENOCK
—We learn, with pain, from the Greenock Advertiser of yes-
terday, that our revered friend, Mr. Walter Baine, of that
town, is no mere. His public usefulness was acknowledged
by his townsmen, who elected him successively to almost all
the offices of honour and trust at their disposal, including
the representation of the burgh in Parliament. It is chiefly,
however, as a private gentleman, high-minded merchant,
awl a liberal promoter of every charitable object, that his
loss will be deplored. He was a man of lofty integrity, of
large and earnest sympathies, of most courteous and um,.
suming manners, and of superior literary taste. We do not
suppose that Mr. Baine has left behind him a single indivi-
dual acquainted with his fine character who will not long
venerate his memory as one of the most upright, intelligent,
and gentle-hearted of men.— Glasgow Citizen.

THE CONVICT EACKETT.—Oh Friday afternoon
information was received at the various metropolitan and
City police-stations that Hackett, who has made himself so
notorious of late by his daring escapes, had been seen in the
Higli7street, Borough, walking leisurely along the pavement
With a sword-cane in his hand. He was well-dressed, and
there is no doubt as to his identity, because the party who
conveyed the information was formerly a fellow-prisoner
With Hackett in Maidstone Gaol. This person followed him
for some distance in Southwark, watching for a favourable
opportimity to secure the man and the reward, when Hackett,
seeing hs was followed, turned down a narrow alley and
made his, escape.
TUB MARBLE Ancn.—lt is rumoured that a &nal
determination has been come to that:this arch shall be erected
at Cumberland-gate, Ilyde-park.
