EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0' 01.
(Incorptrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits.
Ihe difficulty of collecting the elements on which, to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so

:reat, that the rates at presmt charged arc more the result of guess
ban calculation.

It has been found by experience. that the total annual lo,ses 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 b 3 made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
ranca 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 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 tic 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.
With this view an annual in vestiga'ion 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.
Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

REPLY OF ALFRED TENNYSON, ESQ.
THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
Mosaic Bard ! your lines, addressed to me,
Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be
I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you
Should notice me--upon my wort I do I
Nor would I let this first occasion slip,
Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip."
I do not wonder at your feeling " nettled,"
On finding how the "Laureateship" is settled.
When first you heard of what I'm new enjoying,
The disappointment must have been annoying.
The wonder is that you so calmly met it,
When every one expected "yon" to get it ;
T get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard,
The lo!'s of which you seem to take so hard.
But, really, what with one thing anti another,
You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother.
Think for a moment, cousin, what you are—
The muse of MOSES, that commercial star.
?roud would your brother be if he cou'd jump
From his appointed "post" to Aldgate pump.
The " c'oth" of MOSES (understand the phrase)
Would please me quite as much as my "green bays."
Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse,
And let me pop into your honour's shoes,
Good service to the dress I'll strive to do,
Although I know I can't come up to you ;
And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison,
From Sour exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.
