EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50 0 , 0001 . (Incorpor ated under 7 and 8 V iet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates 01 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 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 proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been suffi c iently 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 Office 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 of into each class of risk, and a retur n of one moiety, or fluty per ce 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 3s. 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. 7st 21b—Lady Eden, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Achyratithes, 4 yrs, Est 121b—York-you're-wanted, 4 yrs, 6st 111 b Mona's Pride, 3 yrs, sst lib.

EPSOM RACES.—The Brighton Railway directory have issued a prospectus of their arrangements for the race week; it provides accommodation for all classes, and now that their new station is completed, will prevent much of the crowding and inconvenience complained of at former meetings. The "million" will be tempted with trains running every morning from five to seven o'clock at Is. 6d., and from seven till nine at 2s. 6d., after that hour the usual fares will be charged. A clerk will attend at Tattersall's on the Saturday and Monday before the races, to sell return tickets, with which we strongly recommend the subscribers, for their own comfort, to provide themselves. The public will also be enabled to procure tickets at the various book ing offices named in the advertisements from the 15th _just to the 23d inst. From the vastly improved charac ter of the stakes to be run for each day a most brilliant meeting is anticipated. ASCOT HEATH, 1851.

WOOL TRADE, LOICDON, MAY B.—The imports of wool since this day week have been very large, and if all can be got ready for the ensuing series, the aggregate sales will be large. The total arrivals are 20,554 bales, including 8,940 from Po rt Phillip, 3,630 from Sydney, 5,547 from Via Diemen's L, 1,392 f ro m South Australia, 945 from the Cape of Good Hope, and the rest from Mogadore and Bums Ayres. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, May 9. —There is not any change to report this week. Sales continue to a moderate extent to supply the current wants of the manufacturers. Prices are firm and stationary. Livestroot Nroor., BlaY B.—Fine wools.are very dull and unsaleable. For blanket and other low kinds there is rather more inquiry. Imports the past week are-4,615 Peruvian and Alpaca ; 2 from Shark's Bay ; 164 Alexandria ; 6 Buenos Ayres ; 91 Bombay. TRADE or LEEDS. — We have no alteration to report in the state of trade at our cloth markets, the transactions being about the same as for some w eeks past, but the deliveries to direct order tend to keep down the stocks in 4e manufacturers' hands. Prices, in consequence, remain firm. Business has been rather better in the warehouses this week, more of the wholesale buyers having been down than for several weeks past. The foreign houses are also getting busier. BRADFORD, MAY B.—Wool The wool market during the week, has presented no feature of increased cheerfulness which will enable us to vary the late monotonous tone of our reports. Yarn—The yarn trade has been without any alteration, the demand and price being about the same as at the beginning of April. The attempt to obtain an advance for the May con tracts has generally failed, and until a more active demand springs up, either for the Continent or for Lancashire, there is little chance of the spinners' position being improved. Pieces—The piece market has experienced no alteration worthy of note ; stocks are accumulating, and are in some hands very heavy. TRADE OF MANCIIESTER, MAY B.—fhe market opened rather firmer, and more disposition to purchase was mani fested, but as the day advanced it relapsed into its previous state of depression. There was rather more doing in yarns. There was no material alteration in pieces. The sales that were effected were merely to supply immediate and pressing wants. The want of confidence in prices thtt we have before noticed continue to impede business. With the exception of domestics and maddapollamas, which are rather plentiful, stocks continue light. HE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851. How few of thevislors of the Great Industrial Exhibition will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind, how many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have, from as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the works upon which their whole energies have been expended for months perhaps ' their whole means exhausted ! Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry The ; but the wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties . un p ara lleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Art, science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be achieved. lie who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration that induced MeSers. E. MOSES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only eanyloy tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself mi clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can use, and the less profit they eme4the 1:11piC they can patroalse the industry of - the country, thipig thin eOliAtint work and instant payment for their:labour, nage' by these means they produce an article atneariy halt the usual, and far better at that price, than has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end:in the mere fact of low prices ; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON e cheap stablished clothing ; their s y s tem of trading it was impossible to obtain good now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing accorttin.4' to their circumstances. All classes can dress sveli—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, w hether they ought not to save half the cost of their o wn dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous S te at TOCK of when they , appro priate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no mr, have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent of a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do "justice by description. handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application.

THE INCOME-TAX. (From the Times.) The labours of the Committee upon the income-tax can have but one object. It will be their duty to ascertain whe ther or no the element of direct taxation is to remain per manently incorporated with our fiscal system. Hitherto an impost of this nature has been the creature of emergency—a makeshift—an expedient. The subject has never received so much careful consideration as any single article of the tariff. lies there been a question of laying a differential duty upon coffee, upon sugar, upon timber- of relaxing the Customs' rate chargeable upon tea or tobacco—and straight way blue books are compiled, and Chancellors of the Exche quer approach the solemn theme in a comprehensive and philosophical spirit; the-nicest-machinery- is adjusted; the most anxisue discriminatien exercised every best's - , every lath, every grain, should be affected with its appro priate. charge, and no more. Nos, despite of the occasional complaints of importers and copsignees, have the arrange ments at the Custom-house failed in their object. Occa sional injustice may, no doubt, have been done. Defec tive systems of discrimination may for a time have pre vailed, but, on the whole, much ingenuity has been brought to bear upon the subject, and with mani fest success. But when we turn to the chapter of direct taxation we find that the very opposite course has been pursued. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say, th a t had the Customs been levied upon all imported articles, simply by reference to their weight, the system could not have been more wild or unsatisfactory than the present method of exacting a per centage deduction from all incomes without reference to their sources or their drawbacks. It could scarcely sound like the proposition of a reasonable being if any Minister should propose to throw the diamonds from Brazil and the tubs of sugar from the Antilles into the self same scale, and impose upon them an entran ce dut y accord ing to the bare suggestion of the register. It is more rational to compel the British subjects of the Queen to return to the assessor the precise amount of the money they can scrape to gether in the course of a current twelvemonth, no matter how acquired, and to deduct like proportions from all their incomes? Yet this is actually the course which has been pursued in a country which, upon all commercial and fiscal questions at least, affects to stand in the very vanward of civilization, and in the middle of the nineteenth century, when all economical problems might fairly be supposed to have received their solution. Yes, so it is, the bare ukase of the Finance Minister has been accepted in place of bestowing any consideration upon the true difficulties of the case. The result is a reductio ad absui dum. If this is the best that can be made of the matter, the obvious inference is, not that we are to acquiesce in the monstrous inconsistencies of direct taxation as at present practised in this country, but that we must do without it altogether. Unless we can smooth down its in equalities we must cast from us for ever that soft pillow on which Chancellors of Exchequer love to doze throughout a financial year and to dream of a surplus. We must toll them as we tell careless and extravagant young men, that they must for the future depend upon their own resources, for the patience and sympathy of their friends are fairly at an end. We start, then, with this proposition, that the application of the theory of direct taxation has never been officially investigated. The knowledge and experience of men versed in such matters have never been invited to the subject ; nor can we readily admit that there are any insuperable diffi culties inherent in the subject. The daily routine of an in surance office offers many more striking problems than can possibly be involved in an approximation to something like justice in the assessment of incomes for the purpose of taxa tion. The truth is, that the difficulty of levying an equitable income-tax upon the country consists in ascertaining the means of those persons who are disposed to baffle inquiry, not in the framing of four or five categories of liability. The difficulty named is in no degree lightened, it is, on the con trary, considerably enhanced by the present system of indis criminate levy. It is a great thing to give a man who is already predisposed to play fast and loose with the assessor a just and undeniable ground of complaint against the sys tem of taxation to which he is subjected. The affair is simply reduced to a contest of sharp wits. The Finance Minister says, " I will take all I can get." The taxpayer replies, " You shall have no he l p from me." Deception, if not hallowed, is at least excused. The Treasury is not re plenished and the country is demoralised. The final result, we most fully believe, is that the tax is not so productive as it would be did anything like equity prevail in the method of its assessment. Worse than this, the minds of the people are kept in a perpetual condition of discontent and uneasiness. Now o' days very little sympathy is entertained for the troubles of a Minister or the embarrassments of a party. We are therefore at any moment exposed to the inconvenience of a ho 'tile vote upon a point on which the maintenance of our public credit depends. 'We have from time to time ventured to express a very strong opinion upon the eonnd policy of tens pOrary—it may be even of permanent- submission to a cer tain amount of direct taxation in order that we may reap all the benefits of a reformed tariff We are fully sensible that the time had arrived when amended measures had become a necessity, and direct taxation was the inevitable expedient. But here we part company with Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues. Every argument which tells in favour of direct taxation at the present period of our political and fiscal his tory bears with double force against its unjust assessment. To say that it should be maintained, is in other words to enunciate the necessity of an equitable levy. Maintained it will not be unless some fairer scheme can be devised by the Committee than the one which actually obtains. The train of consequences we are most anxious to avoid will then natu rally follow as effect follows cause. In arguing the case, we have hitherto mainly relied upon that feature in it which is the most revolting to common sense and to the ordinary feeling of justice. When a man gravely affirms that the owner in fee-simple of landed property to the value of 1,0001. per annum, and the professional man who realises a similar cum during a few precarious years of health and life, should be equally taxed, there is an end of all argument. You might as well reason with a Buddhist priest or a Japannese Jum maboo upon their peculiar theories of belief. Some of them base the propriety of the foul assessment upon the extent of moral evil already in the world. Because there is so much injustice, there ought to b a little more. Others affirm that all incomes should be taxed alike, because here is question of an income-tax. It is again affirmed, and with somewhat more discretion, that even admitting the inequality of the pressure upon precarious incomes, still incomes of a more permanent nature are subject to a variety of burdens from which they are free. Over -weighting on both sides is the only method of obtaining final equi librium. Now, this is the argument of all others against which we would mo st earnestly protest , becau se it proceeds upon a certain show of reason. We protest against the clumsy and unphilosophical idea of perpetuating one injus tice by the introduction of another. If any bodies of under our fellow subjects are really aggrieved by undue pressure our present fiscal system, by all means let their grievances be remedied. The time has at length arrived when there must be an end of arrogant assumption on the part of Minis ters and of the vague declamation of partisans on ques tions of finance. The attention of the most practical and ex perienced men in a nation of men of business has for many years past been solely occupied in reviewing the duties upon imports. The point may be said to be disposed of as far as questions of principle are concerned, and we must now turn our attention elsewhere. If the landowner, the fundowner, the annuitant, are oppressed with any peculiar burden, now is the time to put in their claims and to argue its removal upon its own especial ground. We must hare done for ever with the miserable mae-shift of over-taxing all classes in turn. Upon the result of the labours of the present Com mittee much will depend. If they perform their duty con scientiously, we have good hope that at length the general fiscal system of the country may be fairly reviewed and justice done to all classes of her Majesty's subjects. What has been called the harmonious injustice of the in come-tax has just been broken into, and one of its notes is now out of tune. For nine years the Greeks besieged Troy v,, and for nine years five schedules of enemies have waged- sr against the income-tax, with scarcely a hope off ucceeeisn the the tenth year Troy was taken. The wooden lorson which present instance is the surrender of the princip to the tenant-farmers are assessed to the tax. NiThethreer OW:I to in the variable nature of agricultural business, Is . has always ecrutable character of most farming accounts, been deemed an utter impossibility to a nus] n o u f a a l p p r r o o _- fits of a farm in the same way as the • principle has fession or a trade. So to evade the diDi r r r e e n n t e , e a o n f d fa t r a m x e in rs g , an_ p th a ro e fi an ts been adopted, till now with the entirehacolfcrlifias of assuming the farmer's profit to be p und in respect of his oc him threepence -halfpenny tilt- h as always been thought cupation. Till now, we rep t ea of the bargain. In average that the farmer had the be e a doubted that a tenant who times it could ‘, ll , ard_ hardly b y ear to an ordinary landlord was paid a rent of -apt about as well off as a surgeon or a clergyman with his profession ; but the former paid 250/. a year from no income-tax, and the latter about 71. ss. 10d. By same rule, a tenant whose rent was 1,0001. a year, m e t t w h h e o very probably kept hunters and carriages, paid only as h i n come-tax as t h e ma n who cleared 5001. from his much profession, and who could not possibly keep more than one horse and one humble 'vehicle on such an income. With all their proverbial addition to grumbling, we must do tenant farmers the justice to admit that they have not complained audibly of the income-tax till the last year or two. The ar rangement being in the nature of a composition, and prcceed ng upon an assumed average, had a dark side as well as a ight side, and when the dark side began to show itself com plaints were soots heard from Schedule B. Those complaints were repeated with increasing force till they formed the sub ject of various notices in the Commons ; and last night Sir Charles Wood, frightened apparently by the restriction of the income-tax to one year, by the approaching Committee of inquiry, and by Mr. Disraeli's intimation that the case of the tenant-farmer should not he included in the twelve-months' truce, proposed and carried a clause releasing the farmer from the terms of the compromise, now that they seem to go against him. To tax a man for his profits, when he has notoriously lost by the transactions of the year, is, of course, ridiculously unjust, and, therefore, little can be said against Sir Charles's concession; but the concession cannot possibly stop here, for th e tax bears far more hardly on other c lasses than on th e farrneori Taxation, some one said the other night, is liken borwa. cards - touch one, and the whole will come tumbl g But that is especially true of the income-tax. er is to be schedule, and all the others fall. If the echciei pliandlord has .Toinuch one exempted because he has no profits, surely an equal claim to consideration if he hlaesorer novelt tiil , n 2; o f r r o e i n n t ,t the if, from any cause, he has derived litvtes • the tenant-farmer a property. Again, the new clausec.gt es assessed in Schedule average of their actual decided advantage over all the ret" rn ein t a h k e i n g extraordinary profits D. They are bound to profits, and, if they should b takeinto income-taxpatyhe accordingly. Ac halfpennytenatiS-fa_rmer m ay always any one year, they have no a lternativebut to it • account in their return and cording to the new clause, the choose between the threepence a pound in his rent and his actual praoinfietsdodroaabbsleenhciesorfonptroifilets will one year.

If the be has not made half kis r ent, lie will nex t year u `. NYI.I b . ~,~~ ~~ eschew the original provisions of the Act and avail himself the new clause. The tradesman will hardly tolerate that the tenant-farmer, who is only another sort of, t a nd em:Lan, shall have the advantage_ Dyer_ him. The likrter having, succeeded in removing his grievance, another clams of suf ferers will soon make itself heard. There is an inequality far greater than that of the tenant-farmer or the tradesman, who paid the same whether he had lost or gained. It is that of the man who only en,icays......hia_ income for life, or as long as he is willing and able to work for it. We shall have all these pressing in at the tail of the tenant-farmer, to whom Sir Charles has shown the single piece of generosity to be found in the history of the income-tax. How long the tiss, will stand the universal outcry for amendment la more than. we can say ; but, that outcry once raised, it is not HWY.': to abate until the tax itself is abandoned. There is some-1 thing ominous in the very first innovation on the Income-taxi Act, always supposed too] fragile for the.. touch of .the im prover.' We have now had it three times three yearaniint with the present year, one-year more. How much longer a? 1, , the grateful contributors to the tax continue their ? It is said that a large body of the local commisP: r sioners under the-Act are so painfully conscious of thiiaikale cealinents and evasions practised by psrsous liable ender chedule 1), that they have ...only connived unOM N the ide t i that a temporary tax did not call for a very rigorotto discharke of their duties.. But should the tax become per= manent, or threaten a much - longer duration, they are re ported to h a v e ma de up their minds to call for- - books - and papers, and institute a much closer scrutiny. Till such a course is talopteh we have no doubt whatever that the pre sent. tax is qui te as muc h a tax upon conscience as it ,is upon hearty ; and that many now return the whole or the half of their, income, quite at discretion. Should such a scrutiny, however,e b instituted, a rather dangerous amonnt disaf fection would be generated. The extent to which the serew is to be applied for the future is one of the questionameerved for next year, which mayrbe safely predicted to he 'a crisis in British finance. The year '1852 romises to be' if still more important cpdch than 184'2, now celebrated for -the commencement of the'free-trade policy, to which the income tax, first laid on in that year, served as a temporary. seat= folding.

E ir N BE C L H L, ' REGINA V. THE PUBLISHEE rEOPEIETOR OF THE "MORNING HYRALD." In this case the Court had granted a ru le, publisher and proprietor of the Morning Herald ealling to cin a h t o i rr • cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for a libel published in that journal respecting Don Pacifico. Sir F. THESIGEI: said he now appeared on the part of the defendants, and wished to informahe Court that the articld in question, which was a letter from the correspondent of the Morning Herald in Greece, had been received on the eve of the publication of the second edition of the paper, and had been inserted without due consideration. He also wished to state that every facility had been given by Don Pacifico for the fullest investigation into the matters referred to in the letter, and that the parties were now satisfied that, as to a considerable portion of the article, there was no foundation for the imputations which it conveyed against Don Pa citico. They were, therefore, anxious to express their dis approbation of them and their regret that they should have inserted anything which occasioned him pain. They trusted that, having made this acknowledgment, the Learned At torney-General would be willing to consent that the rule should be discharged on the payment of the costs by the Zr. 4. itsl9hyai:Olg defendants. The Ar ronsvr-GetzEnah said, the only point in the Learned Counsel's statement which he felt it necessary to remark upon was, that he seemed to limit his ackowledg ment to a considerable portion only of toe article. He k new that the article contained a good dea l of comment on the political conduct of the prosecutor, of which, of course, lie could not complain. Sir F. TIIESIGER said, what he meant was to 'withdraw,all which affected Don Pacifico's personal character, and to say that he was satisfied that the imputations were without foundation ; but he certainly meant to exclude the political matters. The -ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, he was quite satisfied with the explanation. Don Pacifico's object in appealing to this C ti o e t h ir e t ra w l - ) as h t n o d c e l r e s a te r o h d is th c a h t a a ra ft c e t r er lh a is ud inv h e e stga h t e ion At t t h or e ney de fendants were perfectly satisfied. He also added that the defendants had acted with perfect propriety in the. matter. Lord CAMPBELL said, the course adopted was honourable to both the parties. The rule would be discharged on the payment of the costs by the defendants. MURRAY V. BOHN. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer. The parties are well-known publishers, and 'the action was brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to recover damages for the infringement of the plaintiff's copyright in certain works of Washington Irving, the well-known Ameri can writer. It appeared on the record that these works were originally published in England by the plaintiff, who had purchased the copyright of the author; and the substantial question now raised was, whether an English publisher, who purchased the copyright of a work of a foreign author, and published the work in this country, could maintain an ac tion for an infringement of his copyright ; or, in other words, whether he had any copyright.. In the case of " Cocks r. Purday" the Court - of Common Pleas had decided in ac cordance with the plaintiff's claim ' - and this Court, in the case of " Boosey v. Davidson," had at about the same time come to a similar conclusion; but both these decisions had since been overruled by the Court 01 Exchequer, in the case of " Boosey v. Purday." Sir F. KELLY, in support of the demurrer, after reviewing the history of the law of copyright and the decided cases, said, that as the law of England afforded protection to the lives, liberties, property, and even character of foreigners, he was utterly unable to comprehend upon what principle it was that they were net to be protected in the property which they had in these fruits of their intellect. It was said by the Court of Exchequer that it must be presumed that the Legislature intended to protect the property of Bri tish aathors only in their writings, but there was nott4og in any of the statutes which tended to support that presump tion. On the contrary, the object of those statutes was de clared to be the encouragement of learning, which would be promoted as much by the protection of the works of foreigners published in this country as by the protection of the works of British subjects. He admitted that if the works had been first published abroad they would not be entitled to protection here. Mn WILLES, who appeared in support of the defendant's plea, :aid he understood that the fact was that several, if not all of the works now in question, had been published in the first in,tance in America. He wished, therefore, to be allowed to mend his plea, in order that the defend Ant's case might be placed on the record. Sir F. KELLY said, of course he could not make any op position to that application. Lord CaatrnEtL said, if the Learned Counsel applied for leave to amend, he could do so on the usual-terms (payment of costs). Mr. I,Yrraxs said he would amend accordingly, THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS. y es t er day being the Grand Day of the Term, the benchera and barristers of Gray's Inn assembled in their ancient and venerable hall, to present a congratulatory address to Sir John Romilly, upon his elevation to the office of Master of the Rolls.
