EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorprated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and eqnitable Rates or 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 sroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, 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 Q nes ti on , and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver Ige. the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to ti,e, 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 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURTII 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 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 2607.—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 let of June, 1149, and the 31st of ‘lay, 1450, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop cats were made for 134 Pelicics, amounting to 52,9531.25. 6d.: of these 121, comrrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. ixteett Policies lapsed, representing 0,048/., upon which 3201. 33. true received by the Company in the shape of premiums Since the e , mAmencenaent of the Company to the Ist of June last, tssuranees were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 11s. 6d.

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.

In the week ending la-t Saturday 1,023 deaths were registered in the districts of the metropolis. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years (1841-50), the average was 1,102 ; compared with which the present return exhibits a favourable result. And if it could be safely assumed, notwithstanding the eficts of various epidemics, that the population has increased yearly at the rate of 155 per cent. (the annual rate of increase observed in L madon between the two censuses of 1831 and 1841) and the above average were proportionally augmented, the com parison would show the public health of the week in a still more satisfactory point of view. But it will be found on examination that, in five out of the ten cor responding weeks, the returns differ little from that of last week, or fall much below it, whilst an exces sive mortality presses on other parts of the series, the deaths rising to 1,450, at one period, when influenza was on the wane, at another, when cholera had broken out in Drouet's institution, and thus swelling the ac count above what an average state of health would produce. The last week exhibits a marked improvement on the first week of the year, chiefly in the decline of fever and the epidemics to which children are subject, but also in the diminished effects of diseases of the respiratory organs. In the previous week the_ death* from epidemics in the aggregate were 239, in the last they were 173 ; and to take particular maladies in this class, there were in the former week, from small pox, measles, scarlatina, and hoopingcough, 28, 29, 14, and 58, respectively ; in the last week there were 16, 21, 16, 43; scarlatina alone, which, however, is now less fatal than usual, not showing a decrease. Typhus has declined in the two weeks from 48 to 35 ; erysi pelas from 14 to 2. Amongst complaints which as sume an epidemic character influenza alone shows any tendency to increase; it has carried off nine persons in the week, though it usually reaches less than half that number. In connexion with three cases of typhus, which proved fatal in three different parts of the metropolis, the registrars call at tention in their notes to the circumstances in which these events occurred—here " a filthy and overcrowded court," which had been repeatedly complained of as the nursery of disease ; at another place, " miserable huts," which had been constructed without regard to comfort or decency ; and in the third case, a small back room is described, where six persons had been sleeping, and into which air could not penetrate either by means of the chimney or other channel. Fatal cases arising from affections of the respiratory organs (exclusive of hoopingcough and phthisis) are diminished from 321 in the former week, to 275 in the last; and amongst these, laryngitis from 11 to 4, bronchitis from 152 to 136, pneumonia from 101 to 96, and asthma from 37 to 27. In the same period phthisis exhibits a decrease from 147 to 123. On the 7th of January, in St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, at the Union Workhouse, a woman, who had been a servant, died, as stated in the medical certificate, from " old age and decay," after having reached the extra ordinary age of 105 years. Mr. Faulkner, the Regis trar, adds, that " this woman retained full possession of all her faculties till within a fortnight of her deatb." It is not stated, as is desirable in such cases, whether so singular a fact rests on the authority of a parish register or other sufficient evidence. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, C. 8., K.C.H., formally hoists his flit on board the Cumberland, 70, his flag-ship at Chatham, and strikes it again and proceeds on leave until the ship is ready for sea. The Rev. Fortescue Wells, B.A. (1845), has been appointed chaplain to the Cumber!And, 70, fig ship of Sir George Seymour, fur the West Naval lostructor—William S &non (1846), has been appointed to the Cumberland. Tug ALBION, 90.—Tne report that the Albion, 90, Capt. (Tope Johnstone, had linen seen dietnasted in the Bay of Biscay, has been proved to he unfounded by the intelligence that a line-of-bat:am ship bad passed through the Straits of Gibraltar to the eastward On th... 3d inst. There is no doubt that this line-of• battle ship was the Albion, for no other two-decker is en route to the eastward in that part of the station ; and as westated before, the Albion was ordered to proceed direct to Malta, without touching at Lisbon or Gib raltar.—Herald. Lieut. De, Horsey raising men for the Cumber land at Portsmouth, and Lieut. Kynaston is raising men for that ship at Devon port. Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., now that her men from the West Indies have rejoined, is only twenty men and boys short of her full complement. She is out of the hands of the dockyard, and is ordered to be paid wages previously to going to sea. Impregnable, 78, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., flag-ship of the Port-Admiral at Thvonport, will be paid wages this day. Avon, steam-tender, Second Master Commander Veitch, arrived at Devonport, on Tuesday morning, from Portsmouth, and, after being supplied with coals, was to leave—with Lieut: Robertson, of the Fisgard, and party, who navigated the Rosamond from Wool wich—so soon as the weather moderated. Cr inP, ,packet, Lieut. Parsons, will be paid off at , evonport to-morrow. _ _ DEVONPORT, TUESDAY.—The weather is still very boisterous—wind from the SW. As soon as it moderates, Mr. Henderson, with a party under his command, will proceed to Falmouth in the Virago, steam-sloop, for the purpose of towing the Astrea, store-ship, and Aurora, coal depot, to this port, the establishment at Falmouth having been broken up. DOCKYARD.—The candid a tes for app ren tices in this dockyard (above seventy in number) have been examined during the past week by the schoolmaster, and their respective abilities will be ascertained by the proper officers previous to being transmitted to their Lordships. WooLwlCu, JAN. s.—The Resistance, 10, troop ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, arrived at Gravesend to-day with three companies of the Royal Artillery on board—Captain Gambier's Bth battalion, from Malta, Captain Riddell's Company, 6th bat talion, from Corfu, and Captain Dunlop's Company, 7th battalion from Gibraltar. The Monkey steam vessel went down the river in the afternoon to tow the Resistance up to Woolwich to-morrow morning, after putting her powder on shore at Purfleet. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander James Raw storne, was reported by Lieutenant Thomas D. Williams, of that vessel, as being in the river, with the head-quarters of Captain Morris's Company, 2d battalion, and Captain Crawford's Company, 6th bat talion, from Jamaica ; and the Jasper steam-vessel will leave at an ear ly hour to tow her up to Woolwich. It will be a circumstance of rare occurrrnce to witness the landing of five companies of the Royal Artillery from foreign stations in one day, and joining the garrison, should both vessels arrive at the dockyard about the same timc to-morrow. The Hercules store and troop-ship, Master-Com mander Fulton, will leave Greenhithe on the 20th must, and proceed to Cork to embark troops at that port for sarvice on the Mediterranean stations. The Atholl store and troop-ship, Lieutenant-Com mander Pearse, will not leave Deptford until the 23d inst., when she will proceed to Devonport, and thence to the Island of Ascension. Master-Commander S. B. Cook, of the Black Eagle steam-vessel, has been Acting Master -Attendant and Harbourmaster at Deptford victualling-yard during the last two weeks, owing to the indisposi tion of Master-Attendant and Harbourmaster J. P. Pearn. In the naval appointments of Saturday, the 11th inst., the name of Mr. F. Leheux was given as As sistant-Surgeon to the Impregnable ; it should have been Assistant-Surgeon F. Le Keux.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.-Eight proper ties, none of which presented any remarkable feature, either as regarded territorial extent or net value of the rental, were set down in the list of sales for yester day. Of these the sales of three estates were altoge ther adjourned for want of competition, and a similar fate befel several of the lots of the other properties, which found partial purchasers only. Anything, however, really worth the attention of the speculator was readily bought up at, at least, the fair average rate of purchase under this court. The Cork estates of Mr. Garret Standish Barry were offered in twelve lots, only two of which changed hands, the amount produced being 4,2501. A small estate in the county of Tyrone, the property of the Hon. Andrew Godfrey Stuart, yielding an annual profit rental of 2721. 15s. 4d., was one of the very few desirable investments offered during the day, and was warmly com peted for, a gentleman named Gunning being finally declared the purchaser at the high figure of 4,5701. The estate of the Messrs. Knox, in the county of Mayo, containing 4,693 acres, yielding a rental of about 3501. a year, subject to an annuity of 3001. per annum, payable to the petitioner in the cause, " Bar bara Knox White," was sold in five lots for 1,1811. Another attempt was made to sell the estates of Mr. Samuel Maunsell, in the counties of Limerick and Kilkenny, but with no better success than attended the former experiment. With the exception of some house property in the city of Kilkenny, which realised about 250/., the other portions of the property found little or no favour, and the sale of the several lots stood adjourned for a third trial. The estate of Mr. Thomas Gowan (owner and petitioner), consisting of 304 acres of land in the county of Wexford, produc ing a profit rental of 2001. per annum, sold for 1,400/. This wound up the proceedings of a rather dull day. Admission, One Shilling. GRAND SALON DE DANSE, ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY, STRAND. OPEN FOR THE SEASON.

WOLFF.--Dr. Joseph Wolff, the celebrated missionary and traveller, whose journey to Rol:- hara gained him so much distinction, preached three tires yesterday in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Considerable interest was evoked by the circumstance, and the congrega tion at each service was large in consequence. The Rev. Mr. Gordon, the incumbent of the chapel, officiated at the reading-desk. In the evening, prompted by the recent "aggression," to which he referred, Dr. Wolff made his dis course the vehicle for 'a rapid review of several of the tenets held by the Church of Rome in opposition to Protes tantism, giving at the same time an exceedingly graphic and interesting description of the manner in which be be came acquainted with them—first in the qualified form that they ace maintained by Cisalpine Catholics, and latterly as they are inculcated in their Lull breadth and development at Rome itself, where during the pontificate of Pius NIL he was a resident, and studied at the Coll e gg io di Roma with Mastai Ferretti, the present occupant of the Fapal chair, as a fellow-pupil.

The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment yes terday i❑ the celebrated case of " Wauchob v. Rey nolds," which first came before their Lordships in Michaelmas term, 1849. Its last form was in the nature of a demurrer taken to the validity of the re turn filed by the late Corporation, alleging, in answer to the mandamus to proceed to the election of a Lord Mayor in the place of Mr. Reynolds, that the office was full. The judges, with the exception of Mr. Justice Perrin, decided that the return was no answer to the writ, and allowed the demurrer, with costs. was intimated at the close of the proceedings that the else is to be brought before a superior tribunal, so that, after 18 months' litigation, the whole (ries tion, thanks to the ' glorious uncertainty," remains virtually undecided. THE LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE AT BELFAST. An inquest was held on Saturday on the remains of the 12 unfirtunate men who were crushed to death by the falling of the new mill at Beer's-bridge, Bel fast. Toe evidence taken goes to show that the death of so many human beings was caused by the insuffi ciency of the materials of which the building was composed. After the examination of several wit nesses the inquiry was adjourned till the Thursday. A warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Magee, the contractor, was then issued by the coroner, and imme diately executed. Mr. Magee was removed to the County Gaol, the Governor receiving instructi o ns, a t the same time, not to place him on the prison allow ance, or upon prison discipline, the object of the war rant being merely t' secure his appearance. Bail, to any amount, was offered, but refused. SOCIETY OF ARTS. Yesterday the sixth ordinary meeting in the present or ninety. seventh session of the Society of Arts, was held in the great room of their house in the Adelphi ; Mr. Thomas Henry Hope, M.P., Vice-President, in rotation, in the chair. The minutes of the preceding meeting on the 18th ult , having been read and confirmed, Mr. COLE read an address of the council of the society on its policy during the session, in pursuance of one of the by-laws, enacted to provide a uniformity of policy under every management. The CHAIRMAN then informed the meeting that the pressing engagements of Mr. Henderson prevented his attending the society, as he had promised, for the purpose of reading a paper on the materials used, and the amount of labour employed, in the construction of the building for the Exhibition of 1851. In his absence, however, his partner, Mr. Fox, had kindly consented to be present; ar.d though not prepared to read a paper on the subject, ho would be most happy to answer any question which any one present might think proper to put. Mr. Maxwoant then commenced the discussion, by asking Mr. Fox to state generally the mode in which the interior of the building was prevented from external wet, and internal moisture, arising from the condensation of watery vapour. Mr. Fox, after expressing his readiness to answer any questions on the details of the construction, and inviting inquiry in the most courteous terms, pro ceeded to explain the construction of the Paxton gutter, which we have already done in all its particulars, and then said that the building acted precisely as a still, the vapours ascending being condensed under the glass, and carried off by the side channels of the gutters. So rapid was its action in this respect, it was found that a quantity of water thrown upon the floors disappeared in a remarkably short space of time. It was found, by experiment too, that buildings of the same kind, such as conservatories, are con siderably drier than others. Mr. JOSEPH GLYNN inquired what the arrangements were to allow of the expansion and contraction of the iron by change of temperature, and also as to the effect of the wind with regard to the stability of the building. Mr. Fox first answered the question as to the energy of the wind. He stated that in a violent gale of wind the total effect of it on one of the long sides of the building bad been estimated as being equiva lent to a weight of 19f tons, which was infinitely surpassed by the sum of the resistances of the.otraanns: verse girders. With regard to the expansion contraction of the metal, it was so ver y inconsider able, that the girders were keyed bard and fast to the columns. e v h a ,, r ‘ i y ou ( s )f o t tr mem bers, gallery support withanswerr inefetoren s, reference questions ro the Bfruoffime packed with people , the extreme of p ressu re would be Mr. Fox stated that, assuming t h em to be closely per square foot, which would produce a 11 pressure of 51 ton: on clef) girder, and the girders were pro ved io lo tons, and would not b rea k un d er 30 t „„,. lie wished that it were practicable to try the effect of a locomotive engine moving along one of t h em , as he was sure the result would be most satis factory. Several other questions having been put to Mr. Fox, with reference to minor ma tt ers o f d e t a il, an d a ns w e red by him with the greate s t r ea diness, to the complete satisfactio n of the society, Mr. \V EMTEIt moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Fox for h:z kind a , tendance, in the 4b , er).e of his partner, and ulso for his courtesy in placing the building at the disposal of the society on the 31st of December last, for the purpose of a scientific inspection. Mr. WINKWORTH seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, and, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the sitting terminated. SIVIAHFIELD-MARKET. (From the Morning Herald.) We have observed, in various companies, and on many occasions, of late, that the plan of the Corpo ration of London for establishing a new Smithfield market is almost entirely unknown. It will be our duty, therefore, as far as we are able, to make it known ; and though this cannot be done in a few minutes, or by a few lines, we do not despair of causing it to be thoroughly understood by a large pro portion of the higher and middle classes, in the course of an article or two. The plan of the Corporation, then, for effecting which a Bill is now actually prepared and ready for Parliament, must he thus described :- 1. It is not a Bill for perpetuating the present Swithfield•market. o It not a Bill for abolishing, and removing to a distance, the present Smithfield-market. But 3. It is a Bill for establ;Thing a new Smithfield• market And this is precisely what the necessities of the case point out us the thing which ought to be done. Nobody defends the market as it now st an d s . N o b o d y that is rational (except the Times and P unc h claim to be •so considered) would i ncur the desperate and needless risk of carrying. or attempting to carry, the market three or four miles away from London. 'What remains, then, but to try to make the present market what it ought to be, or rather, to construct si new market near the present site, but freed from all the evils of Smithfield as it now exists. Adopting these common-sense views of the matter, and acting with its usual vigour, the Corporation has prepared and lodged a Bill, the leading features of which may be thus described : The new market, proposed to be established, is to be placed between the present Smithfield-market and the new street now making, called Victoria -street, which is to lead from Holborn-bridge to Clerkenwell green. Of the present site, a small portion only, at the top of West-street, will be included. The new site will be obtained by taking down part of King street, part of West-street, and the courts and alleys adjoining. It will be, of course, far larger than the site of the present market. It will possess, like the present market, the advantage of being out of the way, and interfering in no degree with the great thoroughfares, or the other business of the metro. polis. It will be gained by the removal of property and premises of a bad and worthless kind—" knackers' yards," and places of that description. It will also possess the great advantage of being placed on the side of a hill, so as to facilitate to the utmost degree a thorough and rapid drainage. Connected with this it should be stated that, ac,- cording to the new plan for the general dr a i nage o f London, the main sewer 'for conveying all the soil of the metropolis into the marshes of Essex will pass by Holborn-bridge, within 100 yards of the proposed new market, thus affording means for the effectual drainage of the whole establishment, to the full ertent of the utmost wishes that could be formed. That portion of the market which immediately ad joins Victoria-street will be allotted to the purposes of a meat market ; thus superseding entirely the pre sent Newgate-market. In this manner the proximity of the two markets—the importance of which is stated by all the witnesses to be very great—will be pre served, while the live cattle, instead of proving any annoyance to the passengers in Victoria-street, will be kept entirely out of sight. Still the proximity to Victoria-street itself will be an important feature in the case. This street, when completed, as it will now be by the Corporation, will prove one of the most important thoroughfares in the whole metropolis; presenting one wide open road leading from Kent and Surrey, over Blackfriars bridge, crossing Fleet-street and Holborn, and then proceeding straight up to the Great Northern Rail way, and opening into the New-road, within a quarter of a mile of the terminus of the London and North-Western Railway. It will be evident, at a glance, to any one acquainted with the metropolis, that it would he quite impossible to select any other spot possessing similar advantages. The southern droves entering London by Blackfriars bridge would reach the market in a little more than a quarter of a mile ; the northern would approach by the northern part of Victoria-street, through Clerken well, without touching either of the great east and west thoroughfares, Fleet-street or Holborn. Add to all this, that the Corporation would not dream of opposing a new police regulation, limiting all ea►ttle driving in the metropolis within certain hours, ending at nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and we are at a loss to know what further demand any honest oppo nent of the present Smithfield-market system can have to make on the Corporation. Such is the general outline of the scheme about to be offered to Parliament. It embraces all the follow ing advantages : 1. A central situation : a point dwelt upon by all the witnesses as of the very first importance. 2. The seclusion of the market from all the other bu , inesses of London. 3. The most complete and sufficient access from dl the great thoroughfares and approach( s of the metropolis. 4. The most complete and thorough system of drainage, by which all the filth of the market ►ill carried away, hour by hour, as fast as it is created. This plan, complete in all its parts, the Corporation is prepared to carry at ones into effect. What other offer is before the public ? Let us not be told of possible sites at Holloway, Hornsey, or Highgate— sites which will doubtless be sold by their present owners, if a larger sum be offered than they can nalize elsewhere. The question will still remain— who is to form the new market ? The Corporation has made the best offer in its power, and no other proposal can it tender. Private speculators will surely look at the fate of the new market at Islington, and tremble. Practically, then, there seems to be but little choice, but either to maintain Smithfield market in its present-condition, or else to accept the offer which the Corporation of London is now making to the public—an offer which unquestion ably includes all that any reasonable man can ask or desire. FALLACIES OF THE GENTLEMEN. (From Punch.) (By a Lady who unfortunately knows them only too well.) That women are only born► to be their slaves. That dinner is to be reedy for them the very mi nute they come into the house. That . it lady's bonnet can be put on as quickly as a gentleman's hat. That we can dress in a minute; and that ringing the bell violently has the effect of making us drew one bit the quicker. That they can do everything so much better than we can, from nursing the baby down to poking the fire. That they are " the Lords of the Creation " (pretty lords, indeed !) That nothing can be too good for them ; for I am sure if you were to put a but joint before them every day that still they would be dissatisfied, and would be grumbling that you never gave them cold meat. That they know our age so much better tbsn we do ourselves. (It's so very likely !) That they may invite whom and as many as they please, but if we only invite our mamma to come and stop with us, or just ask a dear unmarried sister or two to stop with us for a month, that there's to be no peace fur us, so long as they remain in the how e. That music can be learnt without practising, and that it is necessary for theth to rush out and'to slant the door violently the very moment we begin to opea our voices, or to run over the last now Polka. That sleeping after dinner promotes conversation. That they know what dress and bonnet becomes us so much better than we do. That it is necessary to ma ke a p oor wo man cry, declare some men must believe that th e i r w i ves cut because a stupid shirt-butt on happens to b e o ff . I off their shirt buttons purposely, from the savage pleasure they take in abusin g them for it. That we are not allowed to f a i n t, or t o h ave t h e smallest fit of hysterics, without being told " not to make a fool of ourselves." Tha t housekeeping does not r equ i re an y mone y, and if we venture to ask for any, that it is pleasant to be met with all sorts of black looks and insinuations as to " what we can do with it all ;" or very agreeable to b e t o ld th at we w i l l b e " t h e ru i n o f hi m some day"— (I should like to see the day !) That the house never requires cleaning, or the tables rubbing, or the carpets heating, or the furni ture renewing, or the sofas fresh covers, or, in fact, that anything has a right to wear out, or to be spoilt, or broken ; and, in short, that everything ought to last for ever ! That a poor lone woman is never to have any pleasure, but always, always, to stop at home, and " mind her children." (I'm tired of such nonsense.)
