Boruemen hoard their wealth, and do nobody good, While by others it's foolishly spent ; 15 at MOSES, who long by the public have stood, B e►nember why money was sent ; 'Y commanding the markets, they buy a large stock Of the best, when the prices are cheap, And they always take care that the public who flock To their mart, shall the benefit reap. Mile the wealth that to some folks would be of no use, Is employed for the good of mankind, For MOSES and SON in their buying profuse, To deal fairly are always inclined. Wlaat they buy is the best, and its made up in style, And they pay for a thing when it's done; The smallest of profits content them the while, They sell fifty to any shop's one. See the price at which MOSES will sell a good coat, Or a vest, or a hat, or a shawl, Or trowsers, or boots, or a habit, and note, They are cheaper and better than all. Then MOSES and SON, may they long keep their health, And of money the benefit reap, For they share with the public tile use of their wealth, And supply them with clothes, good and cheap.

PASCAL PUPRAT has laid the following proposition' on the bureau of the National Assembly : — " Art. 1. Every individual who by language, writing, or in any other war shall excite or support for the presidential election any of the candidatesbips interdicted by Art. 45 Of the Constitution shall be punished by a fine of I,ooof. t o 5,000 f,, and with imprisonment from one year at 'east t o live years at most, with privation of civic rights for tent years. The penalty shall be doubled for a simple functionary. For superior functionaries, ministers, and the President of the Republic, the act shall be considercd as a crime of high treason. " Art. 0 . No account shall be taken after the vote of the bulletins in violation of the clauses above named of the constitutional pact. The bulletins shall be torn up, and no mention be made of them in the minutes, and the votes shall be struck off. "Art. 3. Iu case of infraction the members of the bureaux shall be punished with a fine of from 500 f. to 3,000 f., and an imprisonment of six months at least, and three years at most They may also be deprived of their civic rights. " Art. 4. The present law, fblloweil by Art. 45 of the constitution, 01211 be posted up in all the communes of the Republic until the next presidential election." There is it tumuli'. that the I'EESIDENT Of the Rspubiic is coquating with thee Legititaatists ' and that M. DE PALLOUX will he entrusted with the formation of a Cabinet. We give no credit to these rumcurs; sheen a Legitirnatist Ministry he formed, then intimd would the riIESIDF,NT become flanche /Vapotionienne. Th 9 National again complains of the injury inflicted on trade by the intrigues of the various Monarchical Partie7, and adds— " Let all v. - orkinen who suffer, let all manufacturers and merchants whose interests are compromised, let all who groan in spirit as they see themselves obliged to withhold bread from the active workmen, unite their efforts to aura; let an energetic protest arise from all parts of the country, against conspiracies and provocations to revolt. Let publie o pi n i o n, with the sentiment of its force, reduce such detest able ambitions to utter weakness. In a word, let all con spiracies be put down, and then will be verified our motto.

The Thirty-seventh Annual General Court of this Society was he d .withhi the Royal Hotel (Gibb'o), on TUESDAY the 14th of March, in terms of, and for the purposes specified in, the articles of constitution ; Anthony Murray, Eeq . of Dollerie, W.S., in the chair, The minutes of the last General Court were read and approved. The manager tlie.. read the Report by the Directors of the pro ceedings of the last year, from which it appeared 1. That the number of Policies passed during the year had been 716, the suns Assured amounting to 495,169/. 145., and the annual contributions to .6,6461. Gs. 5d.. being an excess over those passed in the previous year to the extent of 116 in the number of Policies, and of 76,104/. 3s. in the amount Assured. 2. The' the average amount of Assurance passed during the last thirteen years lied exceeded half a million annually. 3. That the tote! amount of the Society's engagements at the rises of the year 1850, exclusive of Bonus additions, amounted to 6,921,5911.13 t. 7d. 4. That the Capital of the Society had increased during the year to the extent of 142,6432. 3s. 11, and amounted at 31st De cember last to 2,310,1491. 12s. 2d. 5. That the Annual Revenue of the Society amounted at 31st De cember last to 306,3111 155. 101 6. That of the Lives assured by the Society ie existence at the eernmencement of the year 1350, 94 had died during that year, the semis for which they were assured amounting to 110,5941. Bs. 4d., and the Beaus additions attaching to the Policies at the date of their emergence amounting tO 27,5131. Bs. Bd. 7. That the above sum of 110,8941. Bs. 41., and the number ef deaths, were in the ratio of 57 per cent. of what might have been expected, according to the tables of mortality upon which the Society's calculations are based. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and moved the approval of the Report; and the motion having been carried by . acclamation, Its said —You have been pleased to approve of the Report of the Directors ; and it now devolves upon me, having the honour to occupy this chair, to address a few words to you, almost recapitulating that which is con tained in the report—not for the purpose of adding any facts to those which are there stated, but rather in ordsr to endeavour to impress them More deeply upon your attention. I will begin by observing that the filets contained in the report era founded upon figures, and are, therefore, hardly to be challenged—(hear, hear)—and it is in consequence the less necessary for me to say much about them. I may, however, remark that these facts are rather agreeable ones, because we find ourselves, after a year somewhat of depression, as that of 1849 was, at last replaced in the situation of con siderable advancement.—:(Applause.) We find, for example, from the report, that, while in the year 1849 the-directors had passed 600 policies, they have passed during the past year of 1850 as many as 716, being an increase ef 116 over those passed in the previous year. We aiso find that upon these lives the amount insured in 1849 amounted to 422,000/., while in 1850 it amounted to 498,1691. 145., or very nearly half a million.—(Cheers.) I think that these are encouraging facts. Another gratife ing fact alluded to in the report, and thatof o n r e aws to retain the confidence of the pub stpihhiemei period ,eu r . a ero a cr f t ai r u tgeh r eeL a iinrm l get ] y easf egte f ane o unm l ry l c o ecye i na l e ' r s esr, f l from o h me businessa average e h r a a g t e I haam h s a o u v h e j nett uosft fallens b t u a s t ieend, off, That Ta t 0 1 t bLt t he Society has exceeded h a lf a millio n annua lly. I think that hear.)tln'ue s us that our Association con to additions attaching to am pe o h u e n t t es policies,) v si e v ry e o n f ea t r h ly e revert millions sterling, the exact sum' being 6,920,5911. 13 e. 7d. That Is the extent of the obligations under which we lie to the public, who hold our palicies.. The capital, by which we are enabled so far to meet these engagements—the really invested capital—amounts to 2,310,149/, 12s. 2d., with an annnal revenue of 306,5 111 . 15 s• 10d. That revenue, you will Observe, is more than double the amount which we paid in the course of the past year, under emerged policies; and that revenue, as you have heard it stated, so far as it arises from the Society's capital, is derived, not from uncertain sources, but from the best security which can be found in Great Britain. There is another agreeable circumstance mentioned in the report. I believe it is not unusual—l believe it is to be found elsewhere—viz., That during the past year the mortality among the members of this Association has been less than during the preceding year, and that, too, although of course the number of lives insured has in creased, end the ages of these lives have also increased. Notwith standing this, the number of lives that have fallen during the past year is only 94, being a decrease of 17 as compared with 1849, when the number of persons insured who died was lii. This, as I have already stated, is an encouraging and agreeable circumstance; but it is a circumstance which we must observe with caution, because it will occur to every gentleman here present, as I dare say it also occurred to the Directors, that these vicissitudes in the number of fallen lives only show us the uncertainty of one year's casualties compared with those of another; and, therefore, we are justified, as we think, in maintaining our present practice of a division of profits only at considerable intervals, viz., seven years. During that time we arc enabled to ascertain with more accuracy than we could otherwise do, the true state state of mortality amongst our members. While I feel called upon to make this remark, which I believe to be a proper one, I also remark another circumstance in the management of this Association, which is this, that while we divide our profits only once every seven years, we, at the time of declara tion, set aside what is necessary not merely to secure a Bonus for the past seven years, but for the seven years which must necessarily elat se before another declaration takes place—that is to say, looking forward to the certainty that some of the policies must fall, by the than of the members, during the course of the succeeding seven years, we at the period of declaration, set aside a sum from the real ised funds, fit the purpose of meeting the payment of a prospective bonus upon those that may fat, so that any policy that falls during the next year, or in any one of the seven years before another declaration is made, is entitled to receive i.s share of the bonus, not only accruing when the previous declaration wee made, but an addition also corresponding each year that , •as since elapsed. In this manner no disadvantage arises from postponing the period of actual investigation or declaration ; because let a member die when he may, his representatives dray. , a bonus for each year that he has been a contributor to the funds of the Society. The sum which has already been divided, or which may be divided amongst the representatives of the 94 persons who died during last year, amounts to 110,8941. Bs. 41, being the original sum for which they were assured, and the bonus additions attaching to their policies, is 27,513/. Bs. sd., making altogether the sum of 138,4071. Now, it occurs to me that the sum for which we have become liable by the death of our members during the past year, is very s tisfactory evidence of the benefit de rived from the Association by the community. The division of this sum amongst 94 individuals, must give to each individual 1,4001. or 1,500:.—a very comfortable sum indeed.—(Hear, hear.) then, coin cident with the diminution in the number of lives that have fallen Our ng the past year, the average mortality has, of course, decreased. Instead of being 63,1 per cent., as it was in 1849, it was last year only 57 per cent., upon what might have been anticipated, according to the bills of mortality on which the Society's tables are based; and this de crease In the rate of mortality is all the more striking, seeing, as I have already remarked, that the number of members and the aver age age of the lives was increased during 1850.—(11ear, hear.) These are the principal features in the statistics stated is the report read by the manager. Before proceeding any further...l may remind the meeting of what has been already stated by the manager, that we have on the table a report by three gentlemen Mr. Brown. accountant, Mr. Melville, W.S., and Mr. Brand, Secretary to the Union Bank—eminent for their professional qualifications, who were called upon by the Extraordinary Court of Directors to report upon your affairs. That report, as has been stated, has been placed in the hands of the mem bers ; but if any member may not have received it, he is ill Inc eupplid with a copy of it, by applying at the Office. In that report a most sa tisfactory state is exhibited of the position of the Society.—(flear, hear.) I observed in apl evious part of my statement, that your affairs are founded upon facts and figures; and it will be seen from the report to which I am now referring, that the most careful examina tion was made to verify the figures upon which these facts are based ; and that the result was, that it was found that the funds of the society are safely invested, that its affairs have been prudently administered, and that the system of book-keeping and checks is as nearly perfect as any institution can possess. We trust that the meeting will regard is hat is stated in this report, and also in the annual report -just submitted, as very satisfac tory.—(Hear, hear.) We have alluded to the successful results of last year. We do so with perfect confidence, referring not to any thing in our institution as compared with others, but to its own In trinsic and individual merits. Looking around us, we see many in stitutions somewhat similarly based. We hail them all, net as rivals, or competitors, but simply as assistants and fellow-labourers in the saute good work, established for the benefit of their individual members, and thosenvho may choose to take advantage of the sys tem of Life Insurance.— (Applause.) There are various means for effecting this object, and various ways of taking advantage of this system, but we think that the experience of thirty-seven years justifies us in adhering to our own system—a system which we have found to work remarkably well, and which we find has passed through at least a few years of trying ordeal, and may say with triumphant success. —(Loud applause.) It is, how e'ver much we may regard other kindred institutions with satis faction and good will, a natural desire on the part of the Mem bers of this Society, to endeavour to find others who will follow their example; and we trust that the results we have now exhibited will be no small ixdueement to draw them towards us. Every one connected with us, has connexions in some way or other, whether by relationship or otherwise, to whom he may recommend the example, which he has himself set— of in suring his life. We can do so—not in any spirit of selfishness, because it must be remembered, that of the thousand, who have insured their lives, not one of them will receive the benefit him self. They must all die before the benefit of what they have done can be reaped; and, therefore, it is from no spirit of selfishness, or with a desire hastily to be rich, that we reccommend hie insurance to others. We recommend it simply upon the principle, and in the spirit "of a well -regulated industry, and of a vigorous and manly self-denial in the use of those advantages which we derive from our professional avocations. — (The Chairman resumed his seat amid great applause.)

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Yid., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—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 eremium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that tile 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 highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true rids 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 ?reached 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 Ofice will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to thee, adopt such rates of Premium as the aature 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 fitly per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have eeen 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 as. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the repert, 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 2801.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is - remembered how .everely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposalswere 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. 3e. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 11s. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, mounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. ;Mee last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lls. 10e1. only was advanced. 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'Etang, 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 ramie, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both 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 futare prospects.

EPSOM RACES.-YESTERDAY. That the legitimate portion of the Spring Meeting was likely to prove the most attractive must have been gathered from our outline of the engagements published on Thursday, and in no respect did it disappoint us ; the prizes were rich, varied, and important, the fields large, and the sport really first rate. The reduction of the bonus to the Metropolitan Handicap from 5001. to 3501., and the appropriation of the amount withdrawn to the establishment of the City and Suburban Handicap, was a well-judged alteration; and if another 501. had been taken off and added to the Two 3,78 old Stakes, the programme would have been unexceptionable. Taking it altogether, however, Air. Dorling showed great zeal and liberality in his catering, and is deserving of all praise. While raising the value and character of the stakes, be has not been: unmindful of details ; heats were abolished, and sufficient time was taken yesterday between the different events to enable the company to enjoy the sport—an impossibility with half-hour intervals— and still keep them long enough on the course to prevent grumbling from the boot'nkeepers. He has provided in creased accommodation in the Grand Stand, by adding a wing at the extremity, with seats sloping to the lawn, and capable of holding about 150 persons. The old passage from the corner of the enclosure to the offices has been closed up, and a flight of steps erected in the rear of the Jockey Club Stand. Mr. D. has also won the hearts of the jockies by providing them with an enclosed passage from the weigh ing room to the course, thereby relieving them from the annoyance they have hitherto experienced in returning to scale. . We are glad to find that the march of improvement is not to atop in the spring. Several new and important plates,&c., have been announced for the greater meeting in May, which promises to be an " Exhibition" worthy of the year and of the locality. _ We may conclude this portion of our preliminary remarks by stating that the offices of judge, starter, and clerk of the scales, were ably filled by Mr. Clark, Mr. Hibburd, and Mr. Manning; and that all business matters on the course, the cards alone excepted, wore punctually and efficiently per formed. The weather, doubtful in the morning, turned out clear and mild ; trains were started as rapidly as safety and the occasion required, and an immense assemblage was collected on the Downs; it included many of the racing influentials, but lacked one who for nearly half a century was one of the pillars of the turf, and of whom the Epsom people will long retain a grateful recollection—we mean Sir Gilbert Heath. cote, who, in his dress, manner, and habits, realised the most approvei conception of the English country gentleman. The Stewards' Stand, tolerated only out of respect to Sir Gilbert, was closed, and will, we trust, be removed—it impedes the view of the start for the Derby, and is in every sense an eye sore. The racing, as we have before observed, was excellent ; and gratifying as it must have been to the spectators, it could not have been otherwise to the " professionals," the favourites for all the great races having " thrown out." It is singular that The Ban was not merely altogether out of the betting, but that his name did not even appear on the cards ! Hesse Homburgh'a friends fancy that she would have been near winning had she not broken away with her jockey after cantering, and run a considerable distance before the lad could pull her up; her position at the finish made her first favourite for the Newmarket Handicap. The racing com menced a few minutes after one, and, time having been ob served with considerable punctuality, was brought to a close shortly after five. We subjoin details:— Epsom Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 60 added; three yrs old, 7st, and four, 9st. One mile. (11 Subs.) Major Martyn's The Swede, 4 yrs (W. Abdale) 1 Mr. Hayter s Terpsichore, 3 yrs (H. Goater) 2 Mr. Bloomfield's Simplicity, 3 yrs (Hiett) 3 Mr. S. Herbert's cby Sir Hercules, 3 yrs (G. Mann) 0 Major Pitt's Edward of York, 3 yrs (W.

The lot got away in a cluster, and, with Simplicity a trifle in advance, ran in close order to the distance; from this point to the end the race was left to The Swede, Terpsichore, and Simplicity, the former obtaining the lead opposite the Stand, and winning cleverly by a length. Run in 1 min. 59 secs. The City and Suburban Handicap of 15 soya.' each, 10 ft, and only 5 if declared, with 150 added; the second to re ceive 25 sovs. out of the stakes.

Except that Pitsford, Eva, Elthiron, and Maid of Team Valley, began creeping towards the front from the turn, there was no change till they got to the road ; here Maid of Team Valley took the lead, and, having disposed of Britannia, Incurable, and the Empress colt, was joined at the stand by Elthiron, Eva, The Swede, and Pitsford. A few strides from home Elthiron and Eva went in front, and made a brilliant finish, the horse win ning by a head ; Pitsford a very good third, with Maid of Team Valley at his side.

At the distance The Ban went up to Hesse Homburg, de prived her of the lead, and won easily by two lengths, Hesse Homburg passing the chair three lengths in advance of Ur mus ; Selina a bad fourth, Sunrise fifth.

Livenroor., APRIL 4.—The arrivals of grain and flour continue to be upon a limited scale, whilst the demand for con sumption goes on steadily. At this morning's .market there was no change in the value of any article excepting mealing oats, which, from scarcity, improved Id per bushel. Wheat, flour, and Indian corn, all commanded extreme prices. Beans and oatmeal were a trifle higher. Barley and peas were un changed in value. BRISTOL SUGAR MARXET, APRIL 4.—The market continues miserably dull, and prices still wear a further retro. grade appearance; indeed, the transactions of the week are quite unimportant.
