EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0007. (Incorporated under 7 and S ♦ict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. Tke 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 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 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 Insnrer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careffil combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire (Mice will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, 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 dames 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. yarning Stock insured at as. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t National Loan Fund Life .Leaurance Society. * Equitable Eire. t* Both Offload.

Bajee Rao, the ex-Peishwa, died at Bhitoor on the 28th ult. ; particulars have not reached us. The Peishwa has received annually 8 lees of rupees as a pension since his dep sition in 1819, or in all above 2,500,0001. sterling. The proverb which alludes to the brevity of the interval usually elapsing betwixt descent from the throne and into the grave has not in this case been realized— he has spent 32 years powerless and in prison. The name of the Peishwa is fami liar to every one—to the younger part of our readers the nature of the office, and authority he possessed, may not per haps be generally known. Under the Mahomedan Soversigns in India there WAS a regular division of offices and distribu tion of the places of Government. The Vizier was the first authority under the Crown, then those of Bukshee, Ameer al ()mull, and so forth. The Hindoo rule conferred all these things together—they had a sort of ourse of Bukshees, but the Minister of State, named the Peishwa, among the nobles was himself supreme. It was this same Bajee Rao with whose enmity and duplicity we had to deal in 1802. While en deavouring to secure our assistance in 1802, to defend him against the hostilities of Holkar, the Pr nce attacked and defeated him, and drove him to seek refuge in the old fort of Singhur. He was before the end of the year driven from point to point by Holkar, acd at last found refuge in Bassein, and protection from the British Government. He was the following year rest..red to authority by our assistance, on agreeing to accept a subsidiary force from us, to remain on terms of amity and alliance with us, and be guided in his foreign policy by our councils. It was on the occasion of his restoration that General Wellesley was at Poona, when he commenced the ma: ch ageing the great Mahratta confede racy, which terminated with Assaye. Restored by us to au thority in 1803, he was detected in 1815 intriguing against us. The murder of Gungadhur Shastree, envoy from Baroda, residing at the Court of Poona under our protection, brought on a collision between us, which terminated in the overthrow at Dirkee, in 1818, of the power of the Peishwa, and the sei cure of his dominions. The Raja of Sattara, the real Sove reign of the State, was now released from the confinement in which he had been in early youth kept by his Minister, and re-established on the throne of his ancestors, with a frag ment of the dominions assigned to him. Bajee Rao has lived to see his victim's deposition and death, the ascent of his brother to power, and the final extinction of the dynasty. His name will ever hold a conspicuous place in history from the position he occupied, not from the deeds he performed.

The following are the new propositions of the Berlin Cabinet on the subject of the Germ an Confederation. They were communicated to Austria on the 12th : — " 1. That the new Central Power be composed only of five members, of which two only, viz. Austria and Prussia, shall be permanent, and the others temporary ; that they shall be elected for a limited period by all the secondary and petty states that form part of the Confederation. " 2. That the Presidency shall be equally divided between Austria and Prussia; and that Prussia shall have the right of treating in common with Austria on all international ques tions of the Confederation, and of signing with her all acts and documents relative to these questions. " Those propositions have also been communicated by Prussia to the four Courts of Munich, Hanover, Dresden, and Stutgard. •• We have been informed on g:od authority that final orders were received by the last mail from the Hon. the Court of Director 3 for the immediate annexation of the Hyderabad territory. This determination of the lion. Court has no doubt been hastened by the continual neglect, or, more properly speaking, inability of the Nizam to settle the debt owing to our Government, and as the intentions of Government, in the event of further delay, have been for some time no secret, the Calcutta andßombay journals having several times broadly hinted at the probability of this de nouement in the event of the Nizam not meeting his en gagements, it is to be hoped all will be quietly settled. We believe that a certain time was allowed by the Government for the payment of the debt, which has now become some thing considerable, and according to our contemporaries the stated period elapsed some 20 days since, when a letter was addressed by the Resident, calling for immediate payment, and the only reply vouchsafed was a call upon the Minister of Finance to supply funds, which, with that easy grace pe culiar to courtiers, they promised t) do, well knowing at the time that their promises were, as they have always proved in this matter, made without any prospect of their being peformed within the specified time. It is therefore ex pected that immediate steps will be taken for the annexation, and hence we suppose another leaf will be added to the laurels of the moat noble the Earl of Dalhousie, an 1 in all probability with as little bloodshed as the act of annexing the Punjaub cost us."

The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market was very limited; but nearly 1,400 quar ters have arrived coastwise during the week. To-day the attendance of both town and country buyers was small; yet the demand for most kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled tolerably steady, at Monday's quetatien ,, , and at which a fair clearance of the stands was etiected. From abroad nearly 9,100 quarters of Wheat have come to hand, chiefly fr( m Odessa. Selected qualities of both red and white moved (ff steadily, at very full prices; but the middling and inferior samples commanded very little attention. Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as dear, whilst we had an improved inquiry for grinding and distilling sorts, at full prices. On the whole the Malt trade was firm, and late currencies were well supported. Really fine Oats were held for rather more money. The middltft and inferior kinds rn'ed steady. Although the supply of foreign Flour wu again large, there was less anxiety to press sales. This week's imports are 5,130 sacks. Flour. CHINA. The following is the letter of our correspondent, dated Hong-Kong, January 30:— " The mail steamer arrived here on the 20th inst., con. veying advices to the 2t,th of November, from England. " There is little of importance to notice this month. " The number of invalids in the 59th Regiment is on the decrease. Senor F. A. G. Cardoga, the lately appointed Governor of Macao, arrived in the steamer. After a short stay here he left in a Portuguese frigate to assume the go vernment of the settlement. " The Pekinq Gazette announces the degradation, by the Emperor of Keying, the former Viceroy of Canton, along with another mandarin of hign rank at the Imperial Court. " The reasons assigned are the disposition these individuals have shown, and the views they have expressed, with refer ence to the propriety and policy of cultivating friendly re lations with foreigners. The circumstance, if correct, affords an indication of the feelings of the Emperor and his present advisers towards foreigners; and shows how necessary it is for our Government to be prepared to resist any interference on the part of the Chinese with existing;treaties, and to main tain the position, such as it is, which we at present hold. "The advices from Shanghai are to the 22d inst. There was an improved demand for foreign manufactures. The export season for tea and silk was expected shortly to close The total export of tea from China to Great Britain is esti mated at 46,900,0001 b. against 43,000,0001 b. ; and of silk, 13.900 bales and 1,100 cases against 130,750 bales to the same period last year. Her Majesty's ship Hastings, with Rear-Admiral Austen on board, accompanied by her Majesty's steamer Sphinx, left this on the 35th for Singapore and Calcutta. Her Majesty's ship Cleopatra arrived here on the 26th—the only vessel now in harbour, except the surveying vessel Royalist, repairing. " Her Majesty's screw sloop Reynard is expected down from Whampoa, and her Majesty's brig Pilot, arrived from Shanghai, has left for that station. At Canton, the steamer Ph!egethon. At Amoy, her Majesty's brig Serpent. At Shanghai her Majesty's brig Contest. " Our latest dates from England are to the 25th of No vember; United States, 13th of November; Calcutta, 7th of December; Bombay, 10th of December; Singapore, Bth of January ; Manilla, 9th of January ; Sydney, 24th of No vember." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Times.) BOMBAY, SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 15. The Money and Share Markets—Shortly after the depar ture of last mail the money market showed symptoms 01 improvement, and exchange on Calcutta rose considerably : but on the 10th inst., when it was found that the Oriente. Bank had been robbed of a considerable amount of Bank o Bombay notes, the numbers of which were known and ad vertised, the Bazaar people commenced running on the cir• culation of the Bank of Bombay, and money has conse• quently become exceedingly scarce again. Prices of se curities have slightly improved, and we hear of trans actions at the following rates :—New Fives, 98 ; Company's Fours, 82 ; Sicca Fives, 101 1 4 at 102 ; Sicca Fours, 84 r,4 ; Bank of Bombay Shares, 15 per cent. premium ; Oriental Bank Shares, 15 per cent. discount ; Commercial Bank Shares, 15 per cent. discount ; Agra Bank Shares, 2 per cent. discount. - We have at length to notice some slight improvement in the import merket, and during:this past few days transactions have had effect to a larger extent than for some time pre vious, though no better prices have as yet been obtained. In the cotton market there has been little doing, owing to the high prices demanded by the dealers for the small quantities of the new crop already arrived. In other produce we do not hear of any transactions. Cotton Piece Goods— As above-stated, ti e demand for cotton manufactures has within the last few days improved. and for some few descriptions a trifling advance in price has been obtained. Gray Goods—Jacconets have sold to an' extent of 12,850 pieces, at from rs. 1 10 6 to rs. 2 1 4 per piece. Shirtings, 16,450 pieces, at rs. 313 6to rs. 7 per piece. The inquiry for good qualities 66 reed has somewhat improved ; but those in most demand are 40 and 45 inch low up to middling. Domestics, 2,065 pieces, at rs. 54 to rs. 12* per piece For these fabrics the inquiry con tinues languid. Madapollams, 39,050 at rs. 1 15 6 to rs. 25 6 per piece —an advance of from one to two annas a piece being obtained for those weighing three pounds and under. For those above this weight prices remain un changed, but the demand has slightly improved. T sloths, 5,000 ps., at rs. 3 4-6 to rs. 3-5-6 per piece. Bleached goods —ln these fabrics we have heard of but few transactions; 2,200 pieces of shirtings, at rs. 6* to ra. 6-9 as. per piece, chiefly of 66 reed and above, have been sold; while for those below 60s. there is scarcely any demand. In jaeconets and ina.dapollams we have no sales to report. In twills the sales amount only to 950 pieces, at rs 6i to rs. 9 per piece. Prices firm. Fancy goods—ln these there has also been little doing. The inquiry, however, for bleached mulls, lappet scarfs, grey and bleached dholies, and low lappets, has been good ; but for zeera and pine dresses, book muslins, satin checks and spots and Swiss lappets, the demand has been ex tremely limited. Dyed goods—For Turkey red mulls and plain cloth there has been a tolerably fair inquiry, and for twills an improvement in demand has been noticed. Cotton Yarn—The sales of the fortnight amount to 225 bales of water, 29 of mule twist, and 50 of Turkey red yarn. The demand for Nos. 20 mule and 20 and 90 of both mule and water has been good, and prices firm, while for No. 40 of both there has been scarcely any inquiry, and prices have declined, caused by the heavy stocks now at market, and the knowledge of large shipments being on the way. Nos. 50 to 80 mule are lower in value and less in demand than for merly reported. In orange and green yarns we have no sales to report, and for Turkey red the inquiry is dull. Metals —The only sales reported during the fortnight are 400 cwt. of tile copper at 44ir. pet cwt., and 350 bundles of sheet iron, at 4r. sa. per cwt. Sheathing and braziers' copper, and nearly all descriptions of British and Swedish iron have declined in value. Swedish steel remains as last re ported on. Lead, both sheet and pig, is dull of sale and lower in price. In tin plates and spelter there has been nothing doing. Cochineal—no transactions. Saffron—The demand for this article is active, and prices have advanced considerably, but we have not heard of any sales. Woollens—No transactions have been reported during the fortnight, and the market for both cloths and fannels is ex ceedingly dull. EXTORTS.—Cotton Wool—The purchases in all amount to 2,375 bales and 1,325 candies, at prices below those rulnig prior to receipt of last English mail on the s th inst. The exports to China during the present year hav e more than four times larger than during the same period of last, while those to Great Britain have fallen off by a third. d Opium—The price of the best Ma lwa drag has again a - vanced I,ooor. to 1,035 r., and this rate 18 firmly main tained by the dealers. FstEmirTs.—The rates of the day to Lo V. ss. to Liverpool, 21. 2s. 6d. per ton ; and to . China, 1 . 3i . r. to 131 r. per candy. In these there has bee n . little variation during the fortnight • first-class vessels . obtain a somewhat higher rate to Liverpool.' There are still a large number of vessels in harbour, but few of Arat-class Ruengaged. TURKEY. The Weser Gazette of the 17th gives the following so count, from Constantinople, of an attempt to -poison the SULTAN. It bears no date:— " The Sultan has barely escaped being poisoned. Some fanatical Ulemas had formed a conspiracy against him. The brother of his Highness was at the head of the plot. The phut was to corrupt the Sultan's doctor. The latter feigned to enter into the project. A million was the price offered him to kill his muter by mixing poison in his medicine. The conspirators fell into the snare, and committed themselves by writing. The doctor, Spitzer, revealed the plot to the Sultan. Abdul Medjid would not believe it till convinced b 7 written proof. The doctor, unable to remain in Constants. nople, lest he should fall a victim to the vengeance of the conspirators, left with his wife for Trieste. A few days af terwards it was learned that several tlemas had disappeared. They had been executed. No one knows what has become of the Sultan's brother." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

We published on Monday last a telegraphic dispatch received by way of Trieste, with the principal items of the news brought by the mail, which only reached London last night. We now subjoin extracts from the India papers, with full details of the intelligence: (From the Bombay Times.) " We mentioned in our last the investment of the fort of Dharoor, in the Nizam's dominions, taken possession of, and for a time defended by the Rehillas confined in it as pri soners. We have since received accountrof its surrender. The force summoned by Brigadier Beatson, amounting to up wards of 2,100 men, with eight pieces of ordnance, having all arrived by the 26th of January, operations were com menced next day. Though the besieged must have felt con vinced the moment they saw such a force in their neigh bourhood, commanded by such an officer as Brigadier Beatson, that all hope' of success was vain, they determined to hold out till the last. Two bastions, mounted with heavy guns, and commanding the position meant to be taken up in breaching, were first silenced and their batteries disabled ; the artillery then took up a position about 400 yards from the nearest wall, and the work of de struction began. The parapet was easily kneeled away, and in thirteen hours the breach was pronounced practicable, and was to have been forced on the morning of the 4th. Some sixty volunteers from each of the cavalry corps having been called for, such was the spirit that the whole force pre sented themselves, each portion entreating to be allowed to take the lead. Apprehensive of the consequences of further resistance when the fort was no longer defensible, the be sieged announced their readiness to surrender uncondition ally, and having laid down their arms at the top, came out through the breach, the gateways has ing been built up by themselves. They numbered in all about 140. There were three heavy and fifteen light guns in the fort. Two of the Rohillas had been killed, and six or seven wounded. They were taken as prisoners to Momioabad, where they wait to be put under still more severe restraint than before. Briga dier Beatson returns to Europe by the steamer of the 3d of March. It is currently reported that a large slice of the • izan's dominions is about to be ceded to us in compensation for the money due (00,0001.) by the ruler to the British Government, the interest of which forms so heavy a charge on his revenues - the principal of which he is never likely to pay in cash. Under the present Governor-General there is every reason to believe that the arrangement will be an equitable and liberal one—praise tiara but few of our arrangements for extension of territory can claim. The visit of the Governor-General to Peshawur is said to be likely to exercise a highly beneficial influence on the settle ment of the frontier question. On the 22d of January the Ist Punjaub Irregular Cavalry (Daly's) left Peshawur for Kohat; they are said to have marched through the Khyber Pass without firearms, under the escort of a mountain chief. They reached Muntee the day they started, and Kohat the day following, right through the defile, and over the moun tain ridge at one stretch. They encountered no molesta tion or obstruction in their way. The 2d Punjaub Cavalry are at present on their way from the Yoosoofzaie country to Bunnoo. The walls and works round Lahore are all being dis mantled, with the view to the opening up, ventilating, and cleaning of the city. The expenses of these municipal im provements are met by the levy iug of a petty custom, such us is common at. home, on articles entering into the town for sale; and so highly are the improvements ap preciated, and so lightly is the tax felt, that other I.rge towns within the Punjaub have applied for the extension of the system to them. Funds sufficient both f r police and conservancy purposes are expected to be raised in this fashion, without taxing the resources of the State. The civil officers throughout the country have been in structed to forward, before the Ist of March, to the Board of Administration, a detailed report on the state and pros pects of the various departments under their charge, as the Governor-General, it is said, purposes, to prepare for the Court of Directors a general report of the condition of the country ; a more interesting or valuable document can hardly be imagined. The CeovernoreVroneral left Rawul Pinddee, on his way to Peshawur, on the 30th, for Kalabagh, on the Indus, where the river forces its Way through a tre mendous chasm in the Salt Range. Salt e is excavated on an immense scale, and there are some scores of alum manufac tories close at hand. Its this neighboarhoel the geological surveys, of which Dr. A. Fleming is theehead, are at present employed—statistical and scientific inquiry now beginning to have the important place assigned to it which it occupies throughout the rest of the world. His Lordship is said to be desirous of meeting the sarans within the field of their labours, and of inspecting the tremendous rapids of the Indus, along with the officers of the Indian navy appointed to meet him at Kalabagh. A new cantonment for troops is proposed to be established in the Baree Dooab : a committee has been appointed to look out for a site, and the most eligible at present appears to be considered near the old fort of liungul Mungul. Though the British Government have been in virtual occupation of Lahore for five years, and in actual possession of it for two, there having been from 1,200 to 2,000 European residents with their families close by, no Protestant place of public worship has yet been constructed ; a large at artment in the Residency was wont to be assigned for Divine service by Sir 11. Lawrence—this has since been converted into public offices. A large Dlabotnedan tomb was next made use of as a church ; this also was withdrawn, and the mess-room of her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons has of late been usually made use of. The Roman Catholics, though a small fraction of the whole, have for some time past possessed a couple of chapels, erected by themselves for their own use.,,The Punjaub promises to afford us something like an illustration of what India might h .ve been compared to what it now it, had its dear tallies all along been guided by such hands as thosein which they at present rest. The area of our territories would probably have been one-half its present extent ; the income derived from them ten times, the benefit conferred on them 10,000 times, what it now is. So soon as the arrangements for the preservation of order and maintenance of the public peace were made, including amongst theta the disarming of the people, and the attent on to t' a administra ion of the Go vernment and man gement of public affairs immediately de manded had been bestowed, the physical capabilities of the country for improvement were Mee red into. The Bares Dinah canal, with its branches, now in progress of censtruc tion, extends over a length of 450 miles; it will water an area of above half a million of acres now barren, and supply occupation and support to probably 2,000,000 people. It will cost at first half a million sterling, with a charge of 2',t 00/. a year 'or maintenance, Yielding yearly a direct income of 120,000/., or 24 per cent., with probably twice as much in indirect returns. The moment this project was started, and plans arranged for carrying it out intrusted to the Executive, Government turned its attention to the moral and intellectual condition of the people. It appeared by inquiry that there was no foundation whatever for the belief so generally entertained of the universality of brooding apathy and ignorance among the Stiklis ; that in the Lahore division in particular a large Lumber of children are at all times being instructed, and a strong desire fur infor mation prevailing among them, of which it was most impor tant to take advantage. In the Lahore division there were found to be 1,385 schools, with a gross attendance of 11,500 pupils, or, on an average, about eight to each. In the city itself there are 28,692 houses, and 143 schools, with an at tendance of 2,243 pupils; of these, 16 are devoted to the in struction of Mahomedan girls, and there are no fewer than 128 of these taught to read the Koran—the teachers are women. At Kussor and its neighbourhood there are 102 schools, with 841 pupils. In Unaritsir there are 15,206 houses, 40 schools, and 861 pupils, The population of the Lahore district amounts to about 2,500,0c0, and about one third of a million (388,271) of both sexes are believed to be of an age fit for school' of these, 194,135 are males, of whom 11,5000, or 6 per cent., are already at school—about 2 per cent. more receive private instruction—say 8 per cent. in all ; a state of matters brought to pass by the Seikhs themselves, and eminently creditable to those we have been accustomed to call barbarians, but still leaving ample room for the labours of the schoolmaster. We could neither give with such minuteness nor accuracy the statements of education or population in Bombay, after an occupation of two centuries, as the ' , Clore board can give in relation to the districts around there, after a possession of less than three years. The magnitud e pointed to , wealth, intelligence, and position of the cit y , Urnritsir as one of the most fitting places for the commencement of the Government scheme of instruction. Mr. Montgona , rie, the commissioner (a man indefatigable in hii exertions -for the cause of native improvement, to whom the whole was intrusted), selected Mr. Saunders, and the choice appears to have been most ju dicious for the carrying out of the scheme, 300/. was allowed at the outset, by Government, for the erection of a school house, and 501 . 1. a year for the maintenance of the schools. The teachers were all to be native s of the Punjaub— the head master to receive 190/., the first assistant to receive 70/., stipends which, when the cheapness of living is consi dered, may be deemed most liberal ; both these were to teach English as well as other branches. Persian, Oordoo, Ilindee, and Sanscrit masters were alto to be employed, at from 301. to 9'' l. a year. Similar arraegements, on a scale pro portioned to their want s, w i l l be ma .le in other cities so soon as the Unwitsir scheme is at work. Lord Dalhousie seems t• consider the vicinage of the schoolmaster quite as important at times as that of the Commander-in-Chief, by whose side Lord Ellenborough insisted the Governor-General ought to be. A sharp shock of earthquake was felt at Lahore on the 31st ult., a previous one of lesser moment having been ex perienced on the 17th, both here and at Mooltan. Another seems to have been felt at the latter place on the 9th, on the same day that an earthquake occurred at and around Cal cutta. A shock much more violent than any of these was experienced at Chi tta g ong, on the 7th. A b oat w as destroyed by fire on the Sut le j , about the 25 th, in which Major Clarke and Captain Sorrell, of her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, were descending the river ; property to the value of 1,8001., chiefly gifts for parties at home, is said to have been lost in the flames, and a woman and her child were burnt to des h. The weather along the north-west frontier " continued cold, wet, and disagreeable, with much snow and lied at the more elevated stations. The falls of snow throughout the pro vince of Kumaoon between the It th and 20th are described to have been tornadoes,— at Naillee Tal it being three feet, and at Almorah one fo ot thick. Around Sitnla and all over the Dhera Dhoon the country was covered; even at Feroze pore the frost was very severe, the ground rema ining white till past nine o'clock.
