' THE EQUITABLE FIRE INSURANCE COKPANY. ’ (Float the Loitrlois Mercantfe Journal.)

In another part of our Journal will be found the

third Report of the Directors of the Equitable l“i'r¢_

"Wm, . . dooulnenl irf suflicieitt im- puriance to call for some remarks upon Fire lit- eurance geaerllly.

Before the‘ feuailsiioa of this Company. no alloc- iive attempts had been made to plant "'0 PW’"°e of fire insurance on an equitable and popular ‘loot- ing. Duriritrslong course of esrsihe remtuma fur life assurance were trredttll ! '04“ '° 33 '° adjust them to the real risk incurred. as nearly as the dealing safety of the assuring ofiicemiid Justice to the parties who had ventured their capital cit the establishment of them, would permit; and ultimately a principle was intrudiicfed _which. by allowing the assured a fair participation iii the profits arising from the excess of the pretitiiiuie received bevund the actual rialta u-idcrtalteri, virtually enabled the public to obtain life assur- ances at the smallest possible cost. No such im- provetnsnts however. had been introduced. for the e-lvaiiiege of the public. into the practice of

ire iiisuranco. The old established companies maintained their lerilfofpremiuma ittviolaie, and appropriated all ilis profits to l'ielIb6lVeB. those prrifile being so great, that the shares of the must successful of them had risen in value lroni 200 to M00 per cent.

It was while matters continued in this stain that the Byuiroble Fire Insurance Critnparry was formed some four or five years ago. It was nut the intention of this Crimputiv to deprive the <|lt.l companies of their buairieiui liy “uitrler.se//irtg" them. as the itiotiagsriiftlie trtiist ginatiiic cit" ttirtn (tho “ Sun") complained. that is by riflirrttt to do the business off-hand at rates strikingly tiitcriur in thoee of the older companies‘ tsri ' ' ' tors cfthe table went a fairer and wiser w I\‘ to work. They simply off-red to the pitlilir lllt‘ opportunity of inducing the cost of Illlluf.-lttrrt themselves. by allowing them to participate in this extent of one-half in the profits which should accrue from the premiums received eitr.-eerlimt the cases and other cliargea incurred. Some admi- rable arrangements were also made for working this principle out with the best elfrci, hilt we need not go into the particular details of them

ere.

The Company has had some opposition and attacks to encounter from without; but. as the Report before as aisles. " they have now entirely ceesrd;" and, had they not, this Report, wt: should think, would have been siilllcieni to silence all cavil for the future.

As regards the success of the rtrimpatiy,.tlie gist of the Report is contained in the fiillowing seoteiiocs:— ,

“The number of policies isstterl during the year ending December 1853 was 5439. The pre-

£34,697. very nearl y as mucls as had been n-r-elved during the three previous years of tlic Cmrrpaiii ‘s existence added together: and it may be stated tht the same rates of increase in the amount of business is fully maintained in the current year l85l; and so far from there being the smallest appearance of our business having appruaccd its maximum, wc have the most iiiiiuliiitiblc proofs iliat it is capable of extension to almost any amount. ’

To estimate properly the value of the position which the Equilablr: has attained in the short ported-05-feta we uld it wit that of other first class Companies of lIlllt‘ll longer standing. To prevent any suspicion of uitr et-lr-r-.t- trig examples particularly etiitablo to our purpose. ive will take the olfieial ittaiementa of the mm which we liiid advertised in the same paper (the Tinies oi’ Thiirarlay last) as the report of the Equitable. First there is the Northern Fire As- nrrnace . ay, who stars that the total Illltllltll of premiums received by them rlurig the your I553 was £.i9.884-this Company having been estab- liehrrl eigliterii years. And seoiittrlly there is the Norwich Union, established fifrr/-seven vears, which state their htteiiieas in amount to .t‘62.000,. U00, and their premium receipts (supposing their .tV€l'FIfl8 rate of premiums to be the name .-is the «Strn's. 3 per rent), would ll’ll'|’el0lP lw £!lZl_0'|tl If the business of the Fquilsble maintains lllre istlllit‘ rate of increase at whicti it has been progressing driving the last Olll|l.0'cll months. it will rival the- Norwich Union, before it nrrises at its Seventh Year: and that there is plenty of room for its ex- pansion there is no duu , as more than two thirds ufthe insurable property of the kingdom. has not been brought yet within the sphere of insurance. and the "table has, moreover, art immense field alr-edy prepared for its prrtlitehle occupation in British North America and the Uiilldd Stlldl.

LETTER FROM CHINA. CANTON. Cituu. Apt-il Nth, 1854.

In my letter of the With of March, I men- tionod the great success which the ineui-gotits were re rted to have had, in the central ro- vinces, n havin triketi the Provincial cii lttlll of Nigenhwui iupcli. and llunitn. liese reports reached Canton through Chinese mer- chants and h the Mandarin oficet-s. Since their Pol-iag rizerm of very recent dates have been ived at Shaag l. These confirm tltn statement that the capital city of Nglianbe-ui had been taken after a llant defence. during which the Governor of t a province was killed. His loss is greatly lamented by the Emperor, who states he was a men of energy and a «le- voted eerviint. Other circumstances crinflriri the statement that Wucliaiig, the capital at llupch. and llankan, the largest commercial mart of the Empire, had been taken ; but otlr; testimony lads me to believe that Clianplre, the capital city of llunsn. had not yet been taken. It is beyond doubt that the insur me are epreadin themselves throughout liese provinces an retaining possession of many on. ‘Hie best evidence of this in tho case. is that there is now scarcely say In 9 for- forelgn import-at autos: low now. then at elase the rebellion broke out. as there

The rebels proceeding still towards the North- west, are stated in the Gazelle to have taken the district cities Yingshun rind Mungching. in the department of Yingchaw. From these state- ments it is evident that every advancing step is made by the slow process of conquest. end not by the spontaneous submission and adhe- rence of the people, as has been so confidently anticipated by same.

But while the insurrection has been making this rapid progress in the central provinces, it f has met with sad reverses in the rovince of . Chihli in which the Northern ciipita is located.

The files of the9‘eki'ng Gazelle, from the lat of February to the 18th of March. which have been recently received at Shanghai. contain numerous notices of the advantages which the Imperial forces have obtained over the rebels who had been in winter quarters in the depart- ment of T‘ientsin. The rebels had occupied ‘ fivc places in that department for three months, from the 29th of October to the let of February, viz: Tehlin. Tsingltiii. Wulicltang, Tun ho, ' and Titutsun.

Anrl], notwithstanding the trinity ttntici ations of the itnmerliute suc- cess of the robe lion, the sober truth is, that while there are good reasons to anticipate that the rebels will eventually ovortlti-ow the govern- ment. the slut in is still protracted, and will be. most who r y, for it long time. it is iii liuttlt to ttiirttiiur tvlrist hits in-i-otiie til‘ tlw -lll,I|llll ittsurg--tits tviticlt tlii- Ft-t-iii-li iraw ctttr-riitg the itiotitlt of this litipr-ritil Citnttl (in the ltitli of December.
