II HE BUDGET.—In noticing the most momen tous question of the day, the all-absorbing question of the hour, we shall not passe at the outset to consider whether it does or 4 .? es not assimilate with the ge neral wish, but shall merel y remark ' that happy the man who can produce a budget embracing the inte hats of all, and thrice happy he who can produce one affording nut- Zttsal satisfaction. Men of th e lar g est and most extended talents ye hitherto failed in this achievement, and to E. MOSES and SON has been reserved the happy lot to accomplish this consummation so devoutly wished for. While arranging their Budget for 1851, E. MOSES and SON at l kce declare they had no new d iscoveries to make, no contend lug interests to reconcile, no laborious task to carry out; they have had ‘ but to pursue without deviation t heir old and successful course, to use the best and most approved material in every department of their varied manufactures, to employ the greatest possible amount of hechanical skill, and to effect sales so extensive as to make the merest shadow of a shade of profit amply suffice. Without entering Into details. of necessity too voluminous to be interesting, but for Which they refer their own valued public to their stock, they boldly and unhesitatingly declare they have produced a Budget, at once em gracing the leterests of all, and, at the same time, one which will afford universal satisfaction. For where the national wants have ...ktecluded all the relief which could have been cra ved by some, E. aIOSES and SON'S low prices will enable them to bear the disap pointment more cheerfully; and to those whose wishes have been helloed, they afford the indulgence in luxuries not always attainable.

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 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 en, 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 less 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 °face will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time is time, 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.

CATTERICK BRIDGE, AND EPSOM SPRING MEETINGS. "My judgment shoots at flying game."—POPE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--It is to be hoped the "clerk of the weather" will give WI, poor mortals, during the ensuing week, a little less of the cataract and water-spout diversion, that has anything but diverted the sporting community during the last fortnight. I perceive this morning, that the quicksilvery, not the flying Mercury, has condescended, unlike certain official persons in " another place," to rise in its place, and announce in its own peculiar silent language, that its budget, for some little time to come, will be of a more sunshiny, heart-cheering nature than the wooden one submi•ted to the public some time since in the before-mentioned " other place ;" but yet it would probably be somewhat of the mixed wind-and-watery class. The course at Northampton, as at Warwick, was in a most disgusting state, it was a perfect slough; in some parts where the water had settled, it was eight or nine inches deep in a nice pudding mixture, which, of course, put trials of speed but of the question ; the consequence was that the heavy weights were bowled over in almost every instance, and the strongest and gamest horses the winners of every race. The gelding by Orlando, out of Insurance, now called King Charming, being one of the stoutest animals at Northampton, not only carried off the Trial Stakes on the first day from Peep-o'-day Boy, Recruit, The Swede, and The Reaper, but yesterday made mincemeat of Musician and Harpsichord for the Delapre Stakes, and Aristos (second, defeated a neck), Panope, Bor neo, Nutmeg, and Doubt for the Cup, a remarkably cre ditable performance; he is a fine slapping animal, and can stay any distance. My judgment was completely floored for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes; the winner (Valen tine), a moderately strong horse, with next to nothing on his back, I thought, like nearly everybody else, was held`safe by Legerdemain and St. Rosalie; however, my calculations were all askew, my fancy couple getting into difficulties before they reached the distance. In my analysis of the Handicap, in Note No. 8, I remarked, concerning the win ner, that " Valentine, at 4st 91b, ran fourth to Sauter-le- Coupe, Est 81b, for the last Epsom A u tumn Handicap, then 3 yrs old, with a slight addition of age, and only Est Ilb on his back, he'll do very well if he can manage to run into the same position again ;" the state of the ground, however, enabled him to figure much better than I expected. If my judgment was capsized on the handicap, I made amends in the couple of two-years-old stakes; about the first, called the Triennial, I observed in my last note, that "Mr. Greville's Frantic, a well-bred horse, and a dangerous one to be against for whatever he may be intended for," was " a foregone conclu sion;" so it turned out, for with:the race in hand at the dis tance, Nat teok him past the post a clever half-length from France • Ambrose (of whom I said, " Lord Ex e t er has a re markably fine animal among the entries (Ambrose), which must not be despised") beaten a head for second place, Con vulsion stalled off. Ambrose also ran second to the now re doubtable Elcot for the Althorpe Park Stakes, the latter, lowev er, won easily, beating the large number of 16 starters; the favourites (The Greek and Hetman Platoff filly) were nowhere! My remarks concerning them were verified to the letter; I observed, " the Hetman Platoff filly, sup ported for a very heavy sum in the City, I cannot fancy ; ' that the Greek was " INFERIOR to others in the race," and that, though "considered a certainty by the stable and a great por tion of the sporting public, 1 will venture to assert that he will not be nearer than third; there are several horses in the race good enough to beat him." I gave the race to Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and Elcot, the two first named ran home fourth and fifth, and Elcot was the winner; about the latter, in my last Note, I remarked—" Mr. Clarke's Elea may astonish the natives, 1 should say' The Ring;' the Marl boro' Buck, from the same stable, distinguished himself by winning the only stake he ran for last year; and Elcot, quite equal to what his stable-companion was when he accomplished the aforesaid victory, might do something notable at Northamp ton on Thursday ; mark that !" This horse is entered for several stakes, and is a dangerous nag to be against for any. I expected one of the four light-weights, at the bottom of the handicap for Lord Spencer's Plate, would turn up the trump card, if Visite missed the mark, but gave no definite decision on this race, more than stating that the trio of cracks would be beaten. The ensuing week boasts of three meetings, concerning whom I now intend to skim the cream, merely glancing at them for the present; but, as far as regards the most important, at Epsom, will re turn to the subject next week. At Croxton Park there are only three stakes of any note that I shall touch upon; on Tuesday, Oleander ought to win the Belvoir Castle Stakes, but, as he may not run for it, Theseus or the colt by Dromedary may accomplish the feat in his ab sence. For the Granby Handicap, that continually worked horse Clothworker, with the top weight list 101 b up, is looked upon as the victor; I cannot discover anything to beat him, or that even stands a chance of doing so, with the exception of General Sale, 5 yrs, lOst 71b, and 13 ughranger, 4 yrs, I Ist llb. The decision for the Gold Cup on Wednes day will be materially influenced by the result of the Granby, as pretty nearly the same horses figure in both. At Cat terick Bridge, Dawson's stable, as usual, is in immense force, but it is not at all unlikely Scott will also come out strong; the two stables in conjunction with Peck's and Fobert's will probably carry off three-fourths of the stakes. I shall go for Ch'ntrey and Fleur de Seine for the Revival Handicap; the Italian for the First Triennial (The Knight of Avenel, Cyprus and Pitsford are also entered for this stake); Entre-nous for the Second Triennial (Cnasus, Sunrise, Presto, and Confidence also figure among the en tries) ; Cleveland and Claverhonse are said to be good things for the Third Triennal ; Paquette for the Filly Stakes; Uralia or Evadne for the Shorts; Entre-nous and Leading Article first and second for the Claret Stakes; and Burndale and Cleveland may possibly occupy the same places for the Champagne Stakes. Before closing this epistle a few words on the Epsom events will not be amiss. For the Two years-old Stakes my fancy, or judgment, which you will, leads me to select Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and the Old Lad, as the best of the twenty-one nominations; if the ground is in good order on the day, they stand in my estimation as I have placed them, if it is not, reverse them. For the City and Suburban Handicap I cannot see why the couple of feather-weights and Theorem should not be backed, as well as Tightwaist and Windhound. For the Metropolitan Handicap I remain of the same opi nion as expressed in Note No. 10 ; Vatican and Vampyre, if meant, will be somewhere about the mark; and the trio of , _ __.. ...,. ~.. light-weights, Cnxus, Sunrise, and :Hesse-Homburg, will, or ought, to send forth the winner I March 28, 1851.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEVOXPJRT, Dimwit 26. Alecto steamer went out of harbour this morning, and proceeded direct to sea. Bonnetta went out about the same time, but put back in the after noon, the weather having become squally, and the wind more to the westward. Lively lighter, Flarlfield master, sailed to-day with vic tualling stores for Deptford. One s of those accidents so common at this port, and which nearly proved fatal to several pe r , ons . h appene d h ere yester day. One of the dockyard boats, with about 15 or 16 joiners, left the yard in the morning to work on two ships in ordi nary. They left the first part (four in number) on board the first ship, and then proceeded to the next; but when pass ing one of the large ships to leeward, and when just opening her, a sudden puff came off and the sheet belaid (the old story)—over she went, and all hands were overboard. For tunately they were seen, and several boats put off to their assistance and picked them all up, but not before some of them were greatly exhausted. CMATIIAM, MARCH 27.—Commander Morrill took up his commission this morning for the Boscawen, ordinary guard. ship. The following vessels at Sheerness are ordered to be bro ken up at this port, viz. :—Viper brigantine; Rose brig; and Thunder surveying-vessel. The two former arrived at Chat. ham yesterday afternoon. The Pearl sloop is ordered to be broken up at this port. Euryalus, 50 guns, is ordered to be built for a screw ship at this port. The Isis, 44, having been opened and surveyed to ascertain her condition, is ordered to be repaired.. Yesterday forenoon a serioui accident happened to a daughter of Mr. Willis Miller, of Ordnance-place, Chatham, aged seven years. The child was at play in the mill on the stage which surrounds it, and at that instant the sweeps were set in motion, when one of them struck her on th e back part of the head and fractured her skull in a most dreadful manner. Seven pieces of the skull have been taken out of the head, and the little sufferer lies in a most dangerous state. PORTSMOUTH, THURsniy.—By letters frOm India to-day, we learn the Lily, 12, Commander Bedford, will probably be sent home, a judicial investigation being likely to ensue re lative to certain seamen of her crew having been landed at various places against their will. Commander St. Leger and all the officers of the late steam sloop Flamer, except the First• Lieutenant and clerk in charge, are now gone to Hasler Hospital, invalided, on ac count of the illness contracted in their fatiguing efforts to save ship and fittings. The Argus new steam-sloop, was docked yesterday to be coppered. APPOINTMENTS. WooLwicrf, MARCH 27.—Lieutenant Abraham Parks (1815), recently commanding the Dasher steam-vessel, 100. horse power, for the protection of the fisheries on the coast of Scotland, to the Boscawen, 70, guard-ship of ordinary, Chatham. Naval Instructor William H. Mackintosh (1848), formerly of the Cyclops steam-frigate, to the Daedalus, 20, on the Pa cific station. The Fearless steam-vessel, placed under the charge of Captain Bullock for the surveying service, will leave Wool wich on Monday next to resume his survey of the Medway as far up as Chatham. The gallant officer will afterwards proceed to Lowestofte to complete his survey in that quarter, and then resume his survey in the vicinity of Beechy-head during the approaching surveying season. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., visited Wool wich Dockyard on Tuesday afternoon, and went on board the Leopard steam-frigate, fitted with engines of 560-horse power, and sister vessel to the Sidon steam-frigate, being constructed on nearly similar lines to that vessel. l'onT ROYAL, JAMAICA, FEB. 16.—Her Majesty's ship Plumper has just arrived here, after an absence of nine months, and is refitting with all expedition, preparatory to her departure for the Brazils. She was to sail for her desti nation on the 21st. The Plumper has been cruising for the last three months on the coast of Cuba. The cholera had disappeared from Port Royal. Her Majesty's ship Helena was at Antigua on the 2d of March. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Desart, Hon.

Strt,—lt is with great satisfaction that I observe in your paper of the 18th instant a paragraph commenting upon the impure metal used by some dentists for the construction of mouth-plates, to which artificial teeth are affixed. It is an evil of which I have long been aware, and greatly desirous of seeing remedied, inasmuch as I am constantly consulted by persons suffering from that very cause, and have in my possession many specimens which have been left with me by those to whom I have supplied pure gold, the only metal that should ever be used for dental purposes. With regard to the proposed remedy, I some years since communicated with the Goldsmiths' Company upon the sub ject, but do not find they possess any power to enforce the adoption of a standard quality unless assisted by a legisla lative enactment. In the meantime the public, by the exercise of its own reason and discretion, may go far to pro tect itself, for it cannot reasonably expect to obtain the pre cious metal at the merely nominal'prices advertised by the low-priced dentists. Your aservations, however, show your care for the public health, and your desire, as watchful guardians of their inte rests, to expose imposition, in whatever shape it may present itself; and, as such, deserves not enly the thanks of that public, but of every respectable member of the profession. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. 11. MOGGRIDGE, Surgeon-Dentist. 13, Old Burlington-street, Bond-street, March 21, 1851. STATUE OF THE LATE GEORGE STEFHENSON.—It is perhaps not generally known that some years since a large sum was appropriated by the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester and Grand Junction Railways for the purpose of erecting a statue of the late George Stephenson. The commission was given to John Gibson, who has now com pleted the statue, which has either arrived or is on its way to this country. The directors of the London and North Western Railway, into which the two former railways have merged, are desirous that the statue should be placed in St. George's-hall, Liverpool. On Friday Messrs. H. Booth and C. Lawrence, on the part of the railway directors, met the St. George's Hall committee, for the purpese of determining the site where the statue should be placed. After looking through the building two positions appeared especially eli gible—either the northern entrance or the south vestibule entering from 'he southern portico. It was finally determined that, as Mr. Gibson will be here in the course of the sum mer, his opinion should be taken before coming to any con clusion. The statue will be exhibited at the forthcoming exhibition of the Royal Academy. It is in a sitting posture, of the heroic size, and is very highly spoken of as a work of art.—Liverpool Paper. He who loves money more than himself will in fallibly rate it above honesty, and will stretch a point, and unloose conscience, when opportunity opens any prospect of gain.—Eliza Cook's Journal. POISONING NEAR WISBECH.—On Saturday last, Ann Overment was brought before the Isle of Ely magis trates at Wisbech, charged with the wilful murder of her mistress, Mrs. John Dearlove, of Leverington, by mixing arsenic in a pudding, of which her mistress ate and died on the 13th inst. The charge was brought by Captain Foster, superintendent of the Isle police force. It appeared that atter Mts. Dearlove had made the pudding, she, with ano ther servant, went up stairs, and left the pudding in charge of the accused, who tied it up, placed it in the pot, and re mained in the kitchen all the morning. She was the only person there, except a man who came in for beer, before Mrs. Dearlove went up stairs. When the servants' dinner was served she, contrary to her invariable custom, did not eat any potatoes. These had been boiled in the same pot with the pudding. The men, however, ate some, and were m a d e very ill. The food and poison vomited by Mrs. Dearlove, and removed by the girl, had been concealed; and wh en ' a neighbour, Mrs. Bond, came into the death-room, just a f ter Mrs. Dea love had died, accused said, " She is quite dead! But it's not the first sudden death that has happened ; ( b e u a t ci l l suppose I shall get all the blame."

It appears from a return just made to an order of the House of Commons that in the year 1850 we consumed exactly 2,392,494 gallons more ardent spirits than in 1840, and 5,796,744 gallons mere than in 1843. The years '42 and '43 are those in which the consumption has been smallest during the ten years; 1846 that in which the consumption was largest. The amount of British and colonial spirits consumed in 1846 was 24,372,297 gallons; in 1843, 20,968,047 gallons; inlBso, 26,764,791. The year 1846 produced a consumption of 26,710,398 gallons. Between 1846 and 1847 there is a decrease in favour of the latter, the consumption suddenly telling to 23,968,782. There is a steady rise after that until 1850. The return from which we extract these figures does not include foreign spirits entered for home consump tion. We find by the Board of Trade returns that the number of gallons of brandy and Geneva entered in 1848 was 1,633,322 gallons, of which Geneva figures in the small proportion of 23,765 gallons; in 1849, 2,214,759 gallons, of which 26,958 Geneva ; in 1850, 1,889,318, of which 28,273 Geneva. Thus the consumption for the three years ending 1850, was as follows:-1848, 26,822,751 gallons; 1849, 28,216,633; 1850, 28,6541107. The average increase in the amount of spirits con sumed in England is not such as to induce the belief that individual consumption is greater than of old. It is a known fact that the tendency has been hitherto in favour of a diminution in the consumption, when in crease of population is taken into account; and the re turn before us would, doubtless, carry out the previous rule, were the census returns, now in progress, pub lished. The return shows that the quantity of spirits dis tilled from a mixture of corn and malt is about two thirds greater on an average than that of spirits die tilled from malt alone. This is owing to a decided difference visible in the raising of the duties. Pure malt spirits pay a duty per gallon of 7s. 10d.; so does also spirit made from corn and malt or other ingredients; bu►, in addition to this duty, there is a duty on malt of Is. 4d. per gallon, which corn does not pay, which ren ders pure malt spirit dearer. This pure malt spirit in England pays a sum of duties amounting to 9s. 21(1., whilst tbat from corn and malt only pays a sum of duties of 7s. lid. British spirits from ingredients other than malt and corn, such as sugar, molasses, and potatoes, are of small proportion in the general sums. The duty on Colonial spirits is now Ba. 2d. pet gallon for England, 4s. for Scotland, and 3s..for Ireland. SEABORNE MAILS.

A correspondent, who signs himself " One of the Middle Classes," says that the revenue of the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge is above four millions per annum, and urges the propriety of devoting two millions for national secular education, those Universities having broken. faith with the public. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.— On Saturday last a very interesting lecture was delivered at this institu tion on the cultivation of flax by Thomas Beale Browne, Erq., who, from his position in the agricultural world as one of the largest flax growers in this country, is of some import ance. His observations were confined very judiciously to the advantages of employing land for this purpose, and he showed clearly that much of the surplus labouring population might reap benefits from which the mere routine of general agricul ture could not hold out hopes. The lecturer produced some very beautiful specimens of fabrics kindly furnished by. Messrs. Stour and Co., of Cheapside, and it was manifest that ❑ot only may we expect from its general cultivation that the English grower will be enabled to furnish material for the most delicate manufactures, but that we soon shall be quite independent of Belgium and other foreign countries for an ample supply, thereby giving employment to labourers who have now to look only to the poor-rates for subsistence. To employ a knowledge of the advantages of flax-growing in this country lectures are daily delivered byMr. Pepper on the subject in which he explains the different method: for adapt ing,- it to the purpose of general utility. We cannot with hold our 'need of praise to Mr. Browne for his philanthropic spirit in this cause, which cannot but be of high importance to the naticn. PORTLAND BREAKWATER.—There are at present engaged on the Breakwattr works at Portland about 120 men, exclusive of convicts, of whom there are some hundreds. The contractor has yet to construct upwards of 1,000 feet of this stupendous undertaking. Some of the workmen are suspended on a small seat only a few feet from the water, which foams beneath them. Although but from I,coo to 1,700 feet is constructed, the work is felt by the shipping in stormy weather to carry the sea off considerably. RATHER OVERDOING IT.—During the Gordon riots it was essential for the safety of all good Protestants that they should chalk on their doors "No Popery." Grimaldi's father being alarmed, and being at the same time desirous of making " assurance doubly sure," Mad giving no offence, waited until the mob approached, and then seizing, some chalk scrawled up, "Gentlemens, dere is no religion at, all In dis house." GENERAL COMMISSION, SHIP LOAN, AND INSII• RANCE COMPANY.—On Monday the first meeting to settle the list of contributories brought in by Mr. Hutton, the official manager, was held before his Honour Sir William Horne. Messrs. Maples and Pearce appesred for the official manager, and stated that the company was established in 1846, for the general purposes of marine assurance, but became embar rassed in 1848. Mr. Patteson, the solicitor to the company, on being called on to produce the deed, declined to do so, unless the lien he alleged he had on it was first paid. His Honour said he could not compel him, but directed the offi cial manager to appeal to the court upon the q )estion. Se veral alleged shareholders, on being called, deposed that the signatures of their names to the deed were forgeries, and the attesting witnesses to the deed failing to refute this, their cases were directed to stand over. Mr. J. L. Burnand, one of the attesting witnesses and a director, was placed on the list for 350 shares. The case of Mr. Dunn, the barrister, as transferree of 30 shares, was adjourned. DARING BURGLARY IN NEWCASTLIL—EarIy on Thursday morning, one of the most daring burglaries ever heard of in Newcastle was committed at Mr. Walter's. 5, Strawberry-place, at the foot of St. James's-street. At one o'clock in the morning, bis housekeeper, who slept in the front of the house, heard the smashing of the winitow below, and s he aroused master. They procured a light and went down stairs, but as the parlour door was locked, and doubly bolted outside, the thieves had an opportunity of escaping by the window before they could enter. The old gentleman rushed into the street, and sprang a rattle which he kept in the house. Several of the neighbours came to his assistance, and on examining the room it was discovered that the chif fonier had been burst open, and a box containing about V. had been taken away. The thieves had effected an entrance by breaking the panel of the shutter with a crow-bar, and then removing a pane of glass, but finding they could not then, in consequence of the fastenings, get the window open, the crow-bar was put in at the bottom and t hew indow wrenched up. ADULTERATION OF MUSTARD.—The Lancet OM tinues its exposures of the adulteration practised in articles of toed. Of 42 samples of mustard procured from various wholesale and retail dealers in the metropolis, and submitted to examination, the whole were found to be adulterated, and in every case the adulteration was the same in kind, varying only in degree, and consisted in the admixture of genuine mustard with immense quantities of wheaten dour, hi ghly coloured with turmeric. The conclusion to which the writer in the Lancet arrives is, that genuine mustard is scarcely ever to be obtained, whatever be the price paid for it.
