The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that san be conferred by Life Assurance.

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra PriMinium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLR FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,000/. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of 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 bean 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 proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, 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 °face will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to 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. With this view an annual 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 Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 35. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURT II ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head 0111ce, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication :-- During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths In England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for •1901.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1149, and the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 123 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. Gd. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of Juno last equal to 2,9911. 15e. Ild.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parists, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only Life Assurances, but in An nuities bath Immediate and Deferred, After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.

The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR S GOUT and RULU MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimotaials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty y ears . has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written by John Mollard Wheeler, E 41., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon , t o Mr. Prout for publi cation, will fully confirm. " I know you have never had occasion to take 'Stair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercy4to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu• intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect Much speedier cure than by any other means within toy knowledge."

The Committee of Parliamentary Initiative on Satar dry discussed the three propositions relative to the reim bursement of the 45 centimes tax by means of the repay ment of the milliard awarded to the French emigrants at the time of the Restoration. M. C. LAGRANGE, author of one of these propositions, alone presented himself before the Committee, and declared that he had made it in consc quence of the motion of M.BEKRYER, and that his motive was to cause the proposed reimbursement to be paid by the lie) in order to relieve the poor. The Committee, without re-opening a discussion on the subject, unanimously resolved to recommend the Assembly not to take the proposition into conider.::ion, on the ground that the indemnity paid to the emigrants had become definitively and irrevocably their property, and that it was as sacred as any other sp,Tics of pro perty.

The Lords Commissioners of the A dmiralty have been pleased to sanction an exchange of division between First Lieutenant C. B.

Lieutenant Burlton joined the head • quarters of the Woolwich division last week immediately after the Powerful, 84, in which he bad been serving on the Mediterranean station, had been paid off at Portsmouth, and is now to proceed forthwith to join Portsmouth head. quarters. Colonel Parke, C. 8., resumed the command of the Wool wich division en the Bth inst. Lieutenant Boyd, of the Woolwich division has leave of absence for one month for the benefit of his health.

On Thursday, we once more turn to steeplechases ; he Grand Military being marked for decision on this day. For the Gol I Cup, out of twenty-eight nominations, probably eighteen will be sent to the post, including those well, known horses with the hounds, if not in regular steeple chasing,Anglesey, The Unlucky One, Buckjumper, Country Squire, Hvxkeswortb, Oscar, Iron Duke, Fugleman. Johnny Oakes, The Treasurer, and Miss Mowbray. Shinrone, whom I should have selected to beat the lot, being e very uncertain starter, I shall pounce upon Ilawkesworth, Buckjumper, Tire Unlucky One, Oscar and Johnny Oakes, as the lot likely to figure to most advantage; but when you tak, into consideration that the weight is 12st or upwards, and gen tlemen riders, it is ti ,, t very easy to select what is likely to form the first flight, much les4 the winner, but I think the latter will be found in HANYKESWORTH, OSCAR., or JOHNNY OAKES There are two other steeplechases on the list for this d .y, but not being of any consequence to the sporting community generally, I shall pass them over. On Friday the Grand Annual Steeplechase will probably attract the following batch into the field:—Sir John, 12st; The Victim, list 31b; Vain Hope, list 31h; British - Yeoman, list; Fugitive, lOst 101 b; Rattrap, lOst 81b; Miss Collingwood, lOst lib; Young-un, 9st 121 b; Mulligan, 9st 91b; Mauric,! Daley, 9st Glb; llendsburgh, 9st 51b; and Miss Mowbray, 9st 41b. Vain Hope, Fugitive, Rattrap, and Young-un seem to me to be the best " in," but, after what has been going on the whole of the season, I will not give a more decisive opinion until I have ascertained which way the money's going. The Hurdle Race seems to be in favour of Psyche, 4 yrs, 9st 71b ; or Little Queen, 5 yrs, lOst 51b ; Fugitive, lOst 101 b, if run for this instead of the Steeplechase, will be very near the mark. It is said that Gulnare or The Hero will be THE horse for the Free Handicap Steeplechase; Outcast and Victress, however, lo9k very mischievous. I am, Sir, yours, lac., • THE SPIRIT OF TIIE TURF.

Sir George Couper arrived at Osborne this afternoon, and will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner party this day. Viscount Torrington had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Crawford, Chairman of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, Mr. Braine, Deputy Chairman, and Mr. Yates, the Secretary of the company, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official resi dence in Downing -street.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.—So far as the metropolis is con cerned, the admirers of. bigotry have every reason to boast of the success yesterday of the simultaneous collection to wards the foundation of Primate Cullen's Catholic Univer sity. The sums already announced amount to nearly 1,3001., but it is anticipated that when the lists are completed the figure will be swelled by 3001. additional, and this notwith standing that two of the most aristocratic parish chapels in the city, directly under the control of Archbishop Mur ray, were hermetically sealed against the inroads of the col lectors. The Freeman boasts that the levy is about equal to the sums contributed by the gulls of Dublin to the O'Con nell rent in the years in which the largest collections were made for the Liberator's exchequer. This the organ regards as " a great re.ult," considering the " depression of the times," and " other circumstances of discouragement"— to wit, Dr. Murray's obstinacy— " too recent and too painful to make it either necessary or plea sant to dwell upon." The parish of St. Michan enjoys the pre-eminence of being the heaviest mulcted in the diocese, the collection there exceeding 300/. Times. FATAL EXPLOSION IN THE VICTORIA COAL-PIT. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) GLASGOW, MONDAY MORNING.—The operations still con tinued, and about six o'clock last night the miners were able to bring up a large portion of the iron cage which had so much obstructed their efforts during the greater part of the day. They were only able to remove it by cutting through the iron at the corners. Several additional de scents were made, and about nine o'clock it was definitely announced that the workmen were now in communication with the two men. whom they had a prospect of saving. I'revious to this the refreshments which had been sent down were acknowledged. About ten o'clock a supply of blankets was sent down, as it was announced that the poor fellows were almost in a sate of nudity. After a lengthened period of anxiety and suspense, one of the poor sufferers, named Joha Cochrane, was finally brought to the surface. He was supported by two men into an adjoining shed, and immediately attended by a medical gentleman. Cochrane was in such a weak state that he could not give any detailed account of the actual occurrence of the calamity further than that two men who were working with him at the time were instantaneously struck down by the fire. During his long imprisonment of nearly forty-five hours he says that he repeatedly groped about for some of his neighbours, and often called on them hut, with one exception, no one answered. The miners were about to go down for the other men when our informant left. The Earl of Glasgow and Mr. Rodger, P.F., continued on the ground till late at night, encouraging the workpeople by every means in their power. A company of the 21st In fantry, which was brought to the spot by air. John Dun, sheriff-depute, rendered essential service in restraining the crowd. MONDAY NlGHT.—Another man has been discovered alive, and two dead bodies brought up. The living men have not yet been able to give any connected account of the accident. No more men can now be got out alive. There are still 59 dead bodies in the pit, making the total loss of life 61. STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION AT STOCKPORT. TERRIFIC LOSS OF LIFE. FROM OUR OWN RETORTZR.) This town, which last summer was the scene of a frightful accident resulting from the falling in of a cotton factory, has again been the scene of a similar event, which from its terri ble extent and the great loss of life attending upon it, seems almost unparalleled in the annals of such occurrences Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, about half-past four, from some cause or other, as yet unascertained, the steam-boiler at the Park Mills, belonging to Mr. H. Marsland, formerly M.P. for the borough, burst, carrying with it in its progress the whole six stories, from the ground-floor to the roof. The engine is a high-pressure, and the force of the explosion may be conjectured from the fact that the whole of the roof was carried away, and the mill became enveloped in flame from top to bottom in an almost incredible short space of time. Unfortunately, at that hour of the day the mill was in full work, and filled with work-people, so that the consequences of the accident become most terrific. A considerable number were carried up into the air, by the boiler forcing its way through the different stories, while others were precipitated into the ruins beneath as the building tell in, and the rapid spread of the flames subsequent to the explosion, in many instances, prevented all escape. Our correspondent states that he saw one man in desperation leap from the top story of the building into the river which flows beneath at the back of the mill, but whethor he escaped with life or not it bad been impossible to ascertain. Several dead bodies had been rescued at the time when our correspondent dispatched his communication, and others still alive had been carried to the infirmary, but, as the flames were still raging violently, it was perfectly impossible to ascertain the number of the sufferers. The whole town was in a state of consternation, and thousands had assembled to view the conflagration, not knowing when or where it would stop. A detg chment of military had been called in, and patrols had been stationed at all the avenues leading to the mill, to keep if the crowds, and to allow free room for the operations of the firemen. WINDSOR ROYAL DISPENSARY. — His Royal High ness Prince Albert, at the general annual meeting of the subscribers to the Windsor Royal Dispensary, was appointed president of the institution (in the room of the late Duke of Cambridge), and has been graciously pleased to sanction the wishes of the subscribers. The Great Western Railway Company have presented a donation of ten guineas, and the directors of the South-Western Railway have become annual subscribers to the same amount.

The owner of Knook Knoll objects to the owner of Nancy receiving the Betting-room Stakes at Doncaster,because she carried more than 21bs. above her proper weight. The con ditions of the race being " that a winner once, in 1850 or 1851, should carry 31135., twice, 51bs. extra." -Nancy won one race in 1850, and one race in 1851. CAPTAIN Rous's OPINION.—" I find by the official report of the clerk of the course, that she carried 9st. 21b., very fine weight—this weight, 9st. 21b., in my opinion, she was bound to carry; the conjunction (or) coupled the two events. Nancy is, theretbre, entitled to the B. R. Stakes." WARWICK SPRING MEETING, 1851. WARWICK, MONDAY AFTERNOON. —The following horses had arrived up to three o'clock this afternoon : TUESDAY.

Sin—l forgot to state last week that the game grey gelding Isaac, by Young Roller, dam by Drone, with 1 Ist 101 b up, tooled by his trainer (W. Rutherford) verified my prediction, by winning the:Milnthorpe Steeplecase in a common canter by several lengths. A ,sporting paper ob serves, that it was the first essay of Isaac's trainer in a steeplechase, and that he displayed courage and judgment. The winner is nine years old, and up to this period has won twenty-one steeplecases at all weights; his owner (Mr. Tier nan), a highly honourable man, always running him to win, and not playing off the shuffling tricks practised by many of his contemporaries. The betting at "The Corner" yesterday evidenced the rapid 1 I approach of the legitimate racing season, by the number of events touched upon, amounting to no less than ten ; some alterations of consequence occurred. St. Rosalie was ele vated to the premiership for the Northamptonshire Stakes, 7to 1 being the latest .figure; Legerdemain declined to eights, offered ; Cocktail and Clothworker at twelves each, were the only others backed. Mem. The field is stronger than the favourites at present. Agis sprang to the front not only for the Willoughby Handicap, ran to-day, but also for the Metropolitan, for which 12 to 1 was taken to nearly a hundred; for this stake The Ban was backed at an outside figure; and Glance and Vatican at 20 to 1 each. The Moun tain Sylph colt was in high force for both the Two Thousand and Derby, 4 to 1 taken to between two and three hundred pounds for the former, and 10 to 1 for the latter, in addition to thirties and five-and-twenties, taken freely, that he won both ; good judges say he will accomplish this feat, I say no I Six to five, and even five to four, might have been ob tained about Grecian for the Guineas, and 5 to 1 about New minster. Lightfoot, the bugbear of the ring, is in force at the list houses as well as " The Corner," his price at the former ranging from 30 to 60 to 1, and at the latter no more than fifty could be obtained. This mysterious animal, about whom such strange accounts are heard, and concerning whom a contemporary says, "A tale is going about that a clumsy horse is shown up in Yorkshire to all comers as Lightfoot, and that the real Simon Pure is caged,"—this said animal, I can assure the public, was as late as last week doing good work, and looking uncommonly well. He is not a bad look ing horse; a good deal of his sire's cut about him, and, I think, will distinguish himself in the handicap department some time or other; but, as to the Derby, the sporting com munity are wall aware of my opinion of his chance, as I said before, so I say again, "lie is not worth a thought." The Chester Cup betting, with the exception of Rhesus 's advance to 8, Nancy to 14, The Italian to 18, and Damask to 40, re mains much the same as before. Nancy, notwithstanding the desperate chance a three-year-old stands on the Chester Roodee begins to look dangerous. The Port Stakes seem to be a certainty for Beehunter or Bolingbroke; both are forward in their preparation; the latter was missed from his work for a few days a short time since, which put several parties in the City into a terrific funk; but, as Charles Mathews is Used Up would say, " There was nothing in it." As I anticipated in Note No. 19, I have to make some trifling alterations in the starting list for to-morrow's races at Warwick. For the Great Warwickshire Handicap, of 20 FOVS. each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared, etc.; two miles; the following will be brought to the post:—Doubt, 5 yrs, 76t 1011) ; Kissaway, 5 yrs, 7st 71b ; Bushranger, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; Escape, 6 yrs, 7st 31b ; Zadoc, 4 Yrs , 7st ilb; Gladiola, 4 yrs, 7st ; Docility, 5 y rs , 6st 121 b ; Little Geore 4 yrs, fist 11lb; Abd-el Kader, aged, fist ; Sunrise, 3 yrs,. sst 41b •, and Unity, .3 yrs, sst. Borneo, Cloth w orker, Captain Parry, and Colibri , may also run, but it is very dubious. The winner, I fancy, wi ll one of the three-years old, and as the sunrise to morrow eteb may be a glorious one, I cannot altogether, in instance, t ce ih g a o t for unity of opinion ; and I have bat will le w ß i be e a n b g o u e r t: b th e i e r d d . , G l : n l l g r a . d t P h i o a e l l e rn h . i e K n r i s s m s h a o o w s r staleyo:,t.wa only e n a Knight 7sntel:4 o bw f u t ipt h h e Thistle will win lie Castle Stakes. For the Two-year-old Stakes I under stand Lizzy will not run, and that Poetess is doubtful ; con sequent] I must place the Slane fillies and filly by Touchstone, out of first on the list, and it would not eurpriee me, GERMANY. "It is stated in letters from Germany," says the Ordre, " that Prince SCIIWARTZENBERG is about to address a circular to the European Powers, in reply to the protest of the French Government, in which he will attempt to prove that the entrance of Austria with all her provinces into the Confederation, is es sential to the tranquillity of Germany, and even of all Europe. The note will also deny that France has any right to protest in virtue of the treaties of 1815, on the ground that she was not a contracting party in the federal paot." The Indipendance of Brussels gives the follow ing: —" Our correspondent at Besslin represents the report as having acquired consistency, that Prussia in ber last reply to Austria had put forth the idea of separating the honorary from the bona fide presidency, end allowing the former to Austria, whilst dividing the latter in such a manner as to establish a parity between Austria and Prussia. As to the division of votes, the first intelligence ac cording to which Prussia was said to be willing to concede two votes to Bavaria, and one only to each of the ether Royal Courts, appears to be erroneous. Prussia, it is now said, will not consent to any differ ence in favour of Bavaria over the four secondary powers. The Chamber of Deputies of Oldenburg has just adopted a resolution, rejecting the credit de manded by the Government for the expense of a ple nipotentiary at the Conferences. The Chamber founded its decision on the anti-liberal tendencies of these conferences." The Upper Chamber of Prussia is to bold its sit ting in the concert room of the theatre. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG is to leave Vienna for Dresden on the 13th or 14th. ITALY. The upholders of the Papacy state that the intended appointment of the English hierarchy must have been known to the British Government, inasmuch as in the Roman Gazette of 22d January, Ib4B, Dr. WISEMAN is mentioned as Archbishop of West minster. The following is the passage alluded to : " Inasmuch as Rome is the centre of Catholic unity, she must exert herself for the propagation of the trea sures of our most holy religion, and therefore the m.rmons delivered during this sacred octave, that of the Epiphany, by saintly preachers, have been intended to excite the zeal of the faithful in promoting the erection of a Catholic Church in London for the use of all be lievers, and particularly for the service of those Italians who reside there, and who, for want of Church accom modation, aro deprived of the mass and the holy sacra ments; and it was annonnced that for this purpose con tributions would be received by S. E. the Cardinal Pre fects of the Propaganda, and by their Excellencies the Prince and Princess Doria, in Rome; and in London by His Eminence the Most Rev. the Vicar Apostolic, Now Archbishop of Wesiminster, 35, Golden-square, and by the Italian Missionary Apostolic, the Chaplain of the Royal Sardinian Chapel, 34, Lincoln's lnn-fiulds. Thus it is hoped that many will concur with generous libe rality, and without delay, because the necessity is urgent." This quotation, however, proves too much. If Dr. Wlssafert were really appointed Archbishop of West minster in Jan., 1848, how happened it that he did not assume that title during the whole of 1848 or 1849, or until 1850 ? It would seem that this passage had been smuggled into an obscure corner of the Rossan Gazette two years before the appointment actually took place, in order that it might be afterwards used * the advocates of the Papal aggression now used it. Had any remonstrances been made to Rome in 1848, the answer would have been, " The appointment has not taken place." A letter from Rome, in the Lomiardo Veneto of Venice, states that his HOLINESS having applied for a reinforcement to the King of NAPLES, the latter has declined, on the ground that such a course would be contrary to the conditions agreed on b e t ween t h e King four Powers. FERDINAND, however, has con sented to concentrate his troops upon the frontier, and keep them in readiness to march upon Rome, should the POPE be in danger. RISE IN RAILWAY SHARES. We receive urgent letters calling upon us to put forth some words of warning regarding the existing speculation in the railway-market. In the present state of affairs, however, it is not our business to do so. It is true that since the let of January shares have risen on an average upwards of 40 per cent., while other descriptions of security have rather de clined, and that upon the lines of worst repute, such as the Caledonian, East Anglian, &c., the increase has been equal to 70 or 80 per cent. It is likewise to be admitted that nothing has transpired to account for this extraordiaau movement, except the promises held out in connexion with t e Exposition, and that it is not easy to see how the wildest calculations in that respect, especially when it is borne in mind that the temporary half-year's inflation will be followed by dulneas and reaction, can be considered to offer an explanation. But these points solely concern the parties who are now speculating. The same means of form ing an opinion are open to all, and each person has a right to indulge his hopes, and to act upon them to any extent he may deem proper. We can neither prov e nor disprove any thing in the matter, and even if the case were otherwise, we do not know that we are entitled to assume the prosp e r (); of the Exposition to be the only or the m c a lu 1 may be that the the new rush to these investments. 1 ece public entertain anticipations of reform sufficient in nomical discoveries, and increasing commerce, that has taken place . There is their minds to warrant all aai, d except that whatever may consequently nothing teonbeewed faiths edtmanagement, which has sprung up, be the causes cf the r generally tated or made apparent. they have not yet been g however, attention should be called At the same time, past onth or two the operations to the fact that for the . all in one direction, and that of the public have accord ingprices under such circumstances to experience of any questions : take a wholly irrespective course as to intrinsic value. weig hing these circums tances, If, after I still think they can see the future more than is at present appreciated, they will of course be quite justified in continu their purchases ; and supposing, on log t h e other hand, that the whole affair is, as our correspondents infer, merely a new development of gambling infatuatien, they must be left to take the consequence; since it is quite certain that no homilies will restrain them. Th ere is no analogy between what is going on now and the mania which ended in the convulsion of 1847. The evil was then a national one, in volving the waste of millions upon undertakings which could never bring an adequate return, and leading to an adverse state of the exchanges sufficiently plain to be demonstrated a year or two beforehand. In the existing movement there is nothing of the sort. Supposing it to be entirely a gambling one, there is still no waste b e y o nd that of the gambler's time, since what one p ar t y l oses another gains. There is no new capital drawn in and sunk, no misdirection of the ener gies of the labouring population, and any misfortunes which may result will be simply those to which all persons are liable who seek to make their fortunes by play instead of by indus try and invention.—Times.
