For extra hazardous . rifques a larger premium will be required, which will vaiy according to circuvftances, seldom ex ceeding one per cent, per annum ; bat in some m flancet, where the property insured is not only in itfelf extra hazardous, hut rendered flill more so by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and occupations, the premium demanded will be raised according to circumstances. Haufes and Ware-Houses, the walls and parti tions of which are wholly of stone or brick, well Conltrucfted, so as to be guarded as well as may be aguinft fires from within, and tree from extraha zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh borhood, will be deemed hazardous of the firft clcls, and may be insured to their full value. Mfo Good- and Merchandize, not of an extra hazardous kind, in calks, bales, or packages, de ported in such build'ngs, to an amount not ex ceeding 4000 dollars; but if more than this sum is required to be insured in one tenement, an addi; tioral premium will be required, in proportion to circumf'ances. 11. lnfttrsnces willalfo be made on buildings and goods ext.a hazardous, at premiums proportioned to thy risque. But it is Hot easy to arrange these under particular ht-vls or classes, so as to describe each '>i;h the r.eceffyy accuracy.'

Inferences may he renewed at the expira tion of the term of the policy, without further ex pense* than the payment of the premium of the re newed term, the circumstances continuing the fame as 1 hey were tinderftood by thelnfurers at the time thciormer insurance wis made ; but the payment of the premium is essential t« luch renewal ; and If the party ir.fured fuffers any time to elapse after the expiration of the former insurance, before he pays A premium for the renewal, he is not insured durirg such time ; nor can the insurance be renew ed en the former policy but by computing the commencement of the renewal frsm the expiration of the f>rmer insurance.
