EQUITABLE, FIRE °FMB. • Capital-500,0P0L (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are - Moderate and equitable Rates ot Premium for each class ot risk—Annual division of. Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss 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 highett importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the 'true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance 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 be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss tor so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this tuestien, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal' sib of its own experience, from time to ti e, adopt such rates of Premium u 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 annul investigation 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 Prone4y on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 38 per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applica. Lien at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t Nati*nal Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire to Both Offices.

A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, El anover -square ; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfrctly resemb , e na`ural teeth, as not to be distinguished 'from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found eery superior to any teeth ever before ust d. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth orHoots, or any painflil operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that ars loose, and is guarauteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. DR. CULVERWELL'S NEW WORKS.

The Wasp screw steam-sloop, Commander Crazier, arrived at Sierra Leone on the 3d o f J anuary . A s s h e was returning to Sierra Leone on the 10th ult., the piston-rod carried away, close to the cross-pieces, and knocked the bottom of the foremost cylinder clean out. Fortunately no accident occurred. Her distilling galley answers admirably; it gives 230 gallons of water a day, very good fur all cooking and washing purposes, a little flat ween drunk cold, but altogether far preferable to the water that can be got, except in two or three places, on the coast. Lieutenant Hopkins is coming home in the Kingfisher. The Wasp sailed from Sierra Leone on the 21st ult. for the Congo. The Kingfisher was to leave Ascension on the 15th ult. for England.

The particulars of this interesting series of public eales may, from the best information, and from personal 4ttention to their progress, be now summed up.

The quantity put up was 17,042 bales of Colonial, and 3,738 of Foreign ; viz., 8,031 bales of Sydney, 2,819 bales of Port Philip, 2,273 bales of Van Dieman's Land, 390 bales of South Auitralian, 3,503 bales of Cape, 10 bales of Swan River, 16 . bales of New Zealand, 373 bales of Odessa, Merino, &c., 680 bales of Germanized and brooked-washed, 215 bales of Spanish washed, 3,373 bales of unwashed, 665 bales of East India, and 1,132 bales of Turkey; Egyptian, &C. The prices obtained for the foreign were:— M4RINO ODESSA AND METIS.--Itledao Odessa, in classes, Is. 3d. to 2a.; superior, 2s. 2d.; lietis, ls. 2d. to ls.fid.; superior, is. 10d.

SPANISH WOOL.-Tbe quantity destined for these sales was unprecedentedly large, about 000 bales, and f confidencean untried to descri ption, take the m unless et low specul a tiv e " very greasy," buyer s prices; this becoming more manifest after the first night's hadbei being c t ' sale, the greater part, upwards. of. 2,000 bales, were judiciously bosght in and withheld. Of the whole quantity, about 11,000 bales, Colonial, consistectof Wools not previously in sele; the remainder being purchases made in the various sales of last year, and forming so much larger a proportion of the stock on hand than had been anticipated, has, to a certain ex tent, proved prejudicial to their re-sale, and the result of, the sales generally has not been so satisfactory as was at one time expected. At the opening of the sales the attendance of buyers was very numerous, and December rates were fully maintained, but for the last few days they mustered in smaller numbers, and . the prices for nearly all qualities, excepting Lambs' Wool, gave way to the extent of hi. per lb., a result edtinirprising consi dering the dulness which has pervaded the manufacturing districts the last few weeks, caused to sortie extent by the mildness of the winter and the consecreent reduced con sumption of heavy goods, and no MIN considerably aggravated by the uncertainty as to the future, induced by the resignation of the Ministry. The present range of prices may be considered satisfactory both to growers and manufacturers; and we consider the cheekgtven to any advance in rates as calculated to be-beneficial rather than otherwise. Stocks of manufactured goods are com paratively small, and those of the raw material lower than we have ever known them, more particularly of wools of home growth. It is probable that the receipts of the new clip from all the ports will be earlier this year than usual; and, with a prospect of IS decided increase is production and import of Colonial Wool, there is no reason to doubt that there will be an ample supply for the wants of the year; and we trust that our market will; in consequence, be less subjected to fluctuations than has been the case in the past year.

The amount of 41,0381., due on 30th June last ! has bmen diminished to 'the sum of 25,613/., which; it is expected, may be still further redirced by nearly 4,0004 The balance of 22,0001., which will then remain, is owing upon 2,110 shares held by parties who have been ascertained to be with (ut means of payment, The directors have accordingly declared these shares fcrkited, and this m.,eting will be 'vatted upon to confirm the' molutemn of forfeiture, and to authorise the sale or other disposition of these sharps, as also of the 4,216, shares previcusly.forfiited.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of the re port, congratulated the proprietors on the small cost at' which their railway had been construeted—a sum much less than the Parliamentary estimates.' He thought this. would have a great effect on th future prospect of the railway, since a very 'average rkcipt would be sufficient to pay dividend.

He also, wished to recommend that they should revert tar the original system of paying the gentlemen who sat tit their boards for their attendance. • , 'The CHAIRMAN said they had better defer talking about that till they got a dividend. The report Wee then adopted unanimously. The meeting wee then made special for the purpose pf confirming the forfeiture of certain shares in conse quence-of non-payment of calls.

The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the proprietors -in this company was held this 'afternoon at the London Tavern, C. B. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., the chairman, pre siding. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, . The SECRETARY read the report of the directors,which has already been 'published in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to address the meeting, was receiued . with loud cheers. He said -e- Gentlemen, • I have to apologise to you for this report not having been sooner laid before • you, but when.you hear the reason. I am convinced you will be satisfied it is a good one. The fact is, the auditors found it impossible to get the accounts ready in time for the circulation of the report within a sufficient number ,of days before the meeting ; and I ' can bear testimony myself to their unwearied •exertions, having , been at Chepstow during the period of their labours and witnessed them working like 'slaves in order to get the accounts ready.—(H ear .) This complaint will not occur again, it having arisen entirely in consequence of the effiuials being somewhat new in their relative posi tions during the first six months of the opening of the line. With reference to the report" we have just heard react I wish to draw your attention, in •the first instance, to the traffic which passed over the line in -the first six months of its working. You will perceive the balance in favour of the company amounts to 10,5091.---(flear.) That of itself is a most favourable feature in a railway of this descr,ption during the first six months; butlmay state that that by no Means represents the amount e becanse though the expanse of carrying, her Majesty's mails has been charged to the country , '' the Post office has paid nothing whatever to us. Now, if I estimate the receipts for Carrying the mails for four months at 4,0001., that will make a clear' balance of something like 15,0004 for the- half-year, or say 30,0004 for the year—(Hear) -7-and considering that no balance whatever a, expected in the ahere of profits from the working of the line during the first year, I think you may -look at that tact •as a , favourable omen with !Nerd. to ,our. line.--(Cheers,) Then,.again, I , may ob,erve that the smallness of the . goods traffic during the four months may excite tome surprise. I can give a very good reason for its not being larger, hecauie it had' to be limited to the number of trucks we had on the line. We have only had 45 trucks to carry on the goods traffic Over 75 miles of railway. I have no wish to-day to speak in a spirit of fault-finding. I believe the Great Western havelfeien orders forth° eenstruction• of 'new-rastvkiefsetel the service of the South Wales line ; but, nevertheless, the number I mentioned has been most inadequate to meet the requirements of the traffic. In fact, the 45 trucks have been in constant use, and we might as weil try to discharge the -Thames through a six-inch,: pipe 98 attempt to carry on the traffic with such limited aminmodation for the goods' traffic.—(Hear, hear.) Hal autheria , cl by the euperrititendent—a most active, energetic, and excelent officer—to say. that et this neoment lie has three times the amount of traffic which be can carry with forty-five trucks; and I believe my self, if we had a larger nunater of truck-•, and the ca psbilities of the line were fully developed, that we should have ten times the traffic .which could at first reasonably be expected.—(Hear, hear.) I will now advert to that which occurred in this room at thelast November meeting. When we Met hero some few. months ago you were pleased to express an opinion very unequivocally as to the course which the company ought to pursue for the future. At that time I felt it my painful duty to differ nearly from the whole of the' other directors, and having actedmost cordially with them for a considerable , period I did feel very great pain in finding myself compelled to differ with , them on a question affecting the important interests of this rail way. I must do them the ju. tic° to say that I believe, -- and indeed 'know, that their only object was to discharge., their duties. as trustees to the cytnpany, according to what they considered most likely to con duce to your interests; but,• aiter having plainly Per ceived what your real feelings were on the question, they have felt: no difficulty whatever in cordially and unsnimou&ly uniting with me in carrying out that line of Policy which I ventured to recommend.—(Cheers.) Whatever responsibility May attach to that' policy, I am willing to bear it myself, and nothing of it -will fail oft their shoelders,. beeJuse they, .in the firseiestenee, commended a contrary policy, and altered their opi nions solely in deference to your . viewe—(Cheers.) Isilw I do hope, in making the announce» meant, that this company , has reaolved to prosecute this entire line, no .wish , may be attributed to me of taking khasty course with regard to the Great Western Company. To that corPoration I owe the deepefit gation. I have never travelled by their maginficent without thanking them for giving me aucla accommodation, and no one travels by it oftener than I di) myself . . For the individual members of the corporation I feel nothing but esteem andiregard, and I do protest in the strongest lau guege which can be used against my desire for the honourable fulfilment of an obligation being imputed to •me a 4 an cot of hostility.—(Loud cheers.) But I have already said that, with the ex ception of those gentlemen who represented the Great Western, the board were unanimous in their in tention to prosecute the line to Fishguurd.—(Cbeers.) It will not do, of course, to make such an announcement without also convincing you of our power to carry out our intention.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It is mini-' fe-tly a financial question, and, therefore, I will vow. proceed to lay before you my " budget," which I hope you will think a little more successful than the financial statement of my Right Hon. Friend the Chan cellor of Exchequer.—(Laughter and cheers.) In round numbers, according to the accounts made up to the 31st Dec. last, we had spent 2,666,0001., that will leave somethine like 1,300,0001. of the capital stock expended. Now, I believe that for less than one million the whole of the railway to Fishguurd may be completed.—(Hear, hear.) I found my belief on the fact of the contracts for the works being now let for 325,0001.; and consider ing that the permanent way will cost 175,0001., and the' iron rails 85,0001., there remains a . certain balance to be exeended between Chepstow and ' Grange-court of something under 100,0001. , Tne total as I make it certainly falls below one million, leaving a disposahle balance of 300,0001,, including that which the company is entitled to raise. 7. -(Hear, hear.) Then comes the questiOn, can we raise money under the powers we possess ? Arrangements have have been made with the contractors, with the layers of the permanent way, and also with the iron masters, to take debentures in payment. It had been suggested that the company should agree with some • large contractor to finish the whole of the line, on such an agreement as that on the Worcester and Wolverhampton line. - No doubt such an arrangement would be very wise were it not that we had it in our power to make a still better arrangement.—(Hear, hear.) No large contractor would take so large a risk on his shoulders without a consi derable bonus, The chairman then alluded to the rumou r which had been circulated that it was the•intention of the directors to refuse to lease the Hue to Fishguard when completed, and said there were no grounds whatever for belisviug at present that such was their intention. He had, however, taken the best legal advice on the stilb. jeet, and ha was informed that the agreement which they had entered into with the company, for leasing the line could ,be enfoxced.—(Bear, bear.) • thehoped.that the hood of the G; t We.,• ere Company would consent to the substitution of Miller& Haven in stead of Fishguurd, for the destination of the line, Ottt being one of the finest harbours in the kingdom. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. After some warm discussion, the motion was agreed to. The retiring directors were then re elected. The CHAIRMAN then proposed-the .motion, sanction ing the issuing of preference shares, as mentioned in the report. • Thiswas met .by an amendment by Mr. Do Winton, 24 :waded by Captain Berkeley and Mr, Baker; the [PRICE SD. Great Western • directors, that no pr4,,rence shares should be iisucd without further investigaLicn into the affairs of the company, but . was however with drawn, on the 'chairman giving an undertaking that no' shires should h 3 issued without the subject again coining before a:special meeting... The original motion ;vas then carried; and after the transaction of some other busine;s, the mee',ing se parated; STATE OF• TRADE.

When this is the case, prices are al most sure to go down. The woof market has also been• slack, and sales have been effected at lower prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have no change to notice - in the manufactured goods trade siuce last week,. business remaining quite as dull as reported for some . time past. Now, however, that the public sales have -taken place, and their result is known, we may:cunfidently expect that business will be done. At length,some of the smaller commission throwing. concerns have been cow-, pelted to close, it being 'impossible for them to: obtain work in the•present flat state of the thrown silk trade. • At the publio sales held in London,.last• week, very little silk was bought; huyers„ for the most pelt, purchasing by private contract. HIIDEERSFIELD, TIIESDAY.—WO . have'had a - veil; flat market to-day in the weoiien trade, although the deli very ot . goods has been pretty large, but chiefly to order. There is nothing of any importance in the wool trade since our last, though it is generally thought that there is a slight deviation of price. t tHALIFAP, SATURDAY.—There was about - SD average attendance in our Piece Hall to-day, but rather more, flituess was observable. The chief inqairy was for last- - ings of low qtfality, and for some descriptions of mix tures ' also ot low quality. For the finer fabrics there is very little demand. Of yarn and wool, we have only to, say that there is much indisposition to purchase; and the markets are consequentl y in a very languid state.

The plaintiff in this case sued in forma pauperis to re cover compensation in damages tor false imprisonment. , Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Metcalf appeared for the plaintiff; at,d Mr. Knowles, with Mr. Field, re presented the defen4ant. The facts' were simply these:—The plaintiff sae e. carman, who was'employed on the 25th of May last to bring away some paper from Iroogatc-wharrf, near the Tower. He took away two loads, and returned for a third, but whEn he 'was in the act of driving off it a . ss found , be had no delivery order, and a canvass bag was discovared upon the shaft containing a quinftry cf paper. corresponding exactly with some reams which had at 1.1 k same time been missed from anothcr part of the whpr .

The Learned JUDGE havino. summedup, The jury almost unuiediatly returned a verdict for the de'Endant. L.)rd CAMPBELL said he much lamented that cases of this kind, in which the plaintiff sued in torni pauperi., were so often brought into ,courts of justice, as it Pas an extreme hardship on those, ugeinst whom they were brought. It • did not follow that because a person was scpitted of a 'charge hf 4 wigs justified in institutirg legsl proceedings egotist the party who accused him, because such a practice would render no person safe in the country. .

This insolvent, who had traded under the style of the Economic Funeral C‘fmpany in Bridge stile; Black frif.rs, was opposed by several creditors in person and was supported by Mr. Sargood. One creditor, a Mr. Brookes, complkined that he bad ot)tained discount fur a bill of exchange which he .bad since had to pay. and that he had been induced to do so by the representations of the insolvent. There representations were repudiated today by the insolvent, who denied ever making them. Another creditor named Green held a bill for 921. with the insolvent's name on it, for which he had allowkl a person named Neal to have furniture to that amount. The (Inns COMMISSIONER remarked, that the insol vent'(who stated be was only 29 now) had been a bank rupt in 1844. .when his debts were 3,000/. He . petitioned this Court in 1847, and was discharged forthwith from debts artieui,m , g to 2,1001.; and the debts in the present schedule were 6,0591., of which 2,9251. were without consideration. • The insolvent stated that these debts withbut con-. sideration arose .out of annuity transactions.

GUILDHALL. _ Witham Harvey was charged with stealing 1/. 3s. 64., and a pulse, the prOperty of Mrs. Alton, from Ii r person. Mrs. Alton said she was walking through St. Paul's Churchyard, about five o'clock on Monday afternoon, with her purse rocnd her forefinger, when the prisoner met her. Ha ran at her, snatcht►d the purse containing 11.35. 6d. from her hand, and made - off with it. She fol• lowed him, calling out " Stop thief," until the prisoner met with a policeman, who detained him until she came up, %ben she gave him into custody. Policeman 36 said he took the prisoner to the station, where be was searched, and a purse, one sovereign, three shillings, and a sixpeuse were found on him. Prosecutrix identified the punk, and the 'amount of money as the same the prisoner had stolen from her: Alderman HUMPS/LEY said this was a very daring act of the prisoner, to take property forcibly from a lady in an open thoroughfare like St. Paul's Churchyard in broad daylight. He would not deal summarily with the case, but send it for the consideration of a jury. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate..

The applicant then retired for the purpose of going on With the charge of perjury against the two women. John Stanley, an omnibus-driver, was summoned before Mr. 11.lighana for having by careless and wilful misbehaviour .dotte damage to the cvriage of by. 6 , :reet, between an omnibus driven by the di;tendant and p'ainaat, said, a. c o o s li t i t si end ori ed h p av ro ir fe:t e .liny t • d for in th i c t i eg eo en m t : Disraeied carriage, Mr. Disraeli had th , 4lght it ne cesaary the circumstances should be investigated, espe cially as the lives of three persons were thereby endan gered. As it was not unlikely that a great number' of additional vehicles would be licensed in consequenCe, of the Exhibition ; it was desirable that the drivsrs should bhplaced under stringent regulations. John-Farrovi, coachman to Mr.' Disraeli, had beci in his:present service pine years. On Saturday, the ,Btli of February, while turning down Regent -street from Glass house-street, about 5 o'clock, with a brougham, in which was Mrs.. Disraeli, an omnibus was suddenly pulled over on to the brougham, and the result wai a collision which knocked Vver the brougham. Witness wah thrown off the box, and so - Vrits 'the footman. :Witness was driving at the rite of about four miles an hour; - the otiiiiibus waidiiiiiig.also at a modarate pace. Witness was on his right side, the omnibus was on its wrong side. The collision was too sudden to allow witness to pull up; so as to prevent the contact. Sevt;ral other witnesses were called, who confirmed the material portions of the coachman's atatement. They stated that the collision incurred near . the Circua.at a place where it was impossible to 'see Tory far ahead. One of the witnesses said the collision appeared to have beert'vccatiou , d by the efforts of the omnibuies to pass each other. Had the defendant pulled up instead- of pulling .over towards the carribge the accident would not have taken place. John Crow proved that the amount of damage done to the brougham was 8/. 10s. The damage, was that the springs were crippled, one ,or two broken, the lamp broken, and one of the shafts fractured. The brougham 'was also much scratched. Mr. Wontner contended that if the occurrence wasnot the result of the merest accident it was to be attributed rather •to the unskilfulness of the coachman than of the omnibus-driver. lie should show that the state of the road about Glasshouse-street, when the accident oc curred, and the repairs going on about there. together with the position of other vehicles to lie avoided, would show that the accident was the r e sult of the want of suf ficient care on the part of the lady's coachman. With out imputing anything to the coachman, be was bound say that his confused state after the collision had oc curred gave the police an un!avourable impression. Mr. 13Thonex—Why, Mr. Wontner, if- you had been suddenly thrown off a ec►achbox on to the pavement, I think you, would hardly have had your faculties as clearly about you as you have at this moment. Mr. Wontner would show by evidence that the car riage run into the omnibus, and not the omnibus into the carriage. Mr. BINGIIIM—It generally so happens, that when a collision °court; between a coalweggon and a gig, or be tween any heavy and light vehicle, the defence set up is 'that the light vehicle ran into the heavy one. A gentleman namau Gray witnessed the accident. The brougham ran into the omnibus, as it appeared to him, because the head of the horse in the brougham actually came into the window of the omnibus through the glass. The defendant was a very steady, well-conducted man, and was driving at a very steady pace when the accident occurred. Another witness, named PcDow, who was outside the ,omnibus at the time, said the omnibus was about to pull up to let out some pasiengers at the time when a gig was passing, which apparently was not seen by the driver of the broughain. The driver of the brougham, in at .rempting to clear the gig, ran upon the hind wheel of the omnibus and 'caused the accident. There was no .egligence whatever on the part of the omnibus-driver. iho lady inside the brougham was WALD(' to be taken •iut at the wit dow. Another witness, named Smith, said be saw the brougham pull into the omnibus. Had the brougham driver driven properly no accident would have (.ccui red. A cth-driver saw the occurrf nee, which be considered was the re:uit of accident. It arose from the horse in a gig shying at the noise made in the loading a rubbish- Mr. EIN - 611:61 said, had it not been for th;l3st wit. ness ho should have consid,red there was really no case in which he had any jurisdiction; bat the cabman, had so completely contradicted the previous witness, who attributed the damage to the OttschuNn'is attempt tf) pass the gig when there was not buffiei 013 room, as to give a Malty difftrent complexion to the matter. Lir. Wootner said he was not: aware of the evidence the cabman had to give. lie had jag, been ieform.-d 'hat he bad come t utu court, and was prepared to state what he had seen, and on- this account his testimony was tendered. • Me, EINGIIAM said the affair verified the old legal adage, to ire saut.tied with a good case, and not to :Litt inpt nn) thing more. The defendant had a very strong case until the last witness was called, when he .upset it all. lioarQver, he was so much perplcx-o by the evidence that tied been given that be shot& ,t give judgment at once, but pottpone it until heat Thursday.
