It is really an able, intelligible, and even entertaining exposition of all that in books of logic can interest the mass of the people. That which demarcates it from other works known to us is the union of solidity with familiarity—the complete renunciation of all scholastic technology—and the examples by which the rules are illustrated. Instead of the dull generalities usually considered worthy of she,. ing logic in action, the author has made abundant 'quotations from various sources—the Board of Health Reports and Mrs. Caudle's Lectures—Sydney Smith and Chambers' Journal—The Times and the Pilgrim's Progress. When we reflect upon tire repulsiveness of works on Logic, we must applaud this Logic for the Million,' Unless we consider the study as altogether frivolous."—Leader.

Capital-=500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and $ Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged aro 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 n, or systematically apidied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less 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 awn experience, from tilne to tine, 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 Claus.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 Englanzl, and but two iu Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601. making together M.; Which have been paid. This is far below* the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1949, and the 131st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Vroposals were made for 138 l'elieles, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251,65 : _ . . . Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 61. Of theta 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9t101. 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. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. 115..10d. 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'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish-p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, 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 future prospects. ONE PAYMENT FOE THE WHOLE OF LIFE. THE RAILWAY ASSURANCE COMPANY, for granting Assurances upon Payment of a Single Premium against Loss of Lite or other Personal Injury arising from Railway Accidents. Incorporated under the Act of Parliament ' 7 and S Vie. cap. 110. Capital - One Hundred Thousand Pounds. Offices, No. 5 , St. James's-street, London. TRUSTEES. The Right Hon. Earl Fiizwilllam. The Common Sergeant. I The lion. Henry G. Spencer. Charles Hopkinson, Esq. The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re .newa of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.

I Ran' the Crystal Temple rise in beauty and in state ; And while I gazed with wond'ring eyes, I felt that such an enterprise Was beautiful and great. I marvelled at the master mind (A master mind, indeed !) Which thus had perfectly designed A meeting-house for all mankind, With all but magic speed. No gaudy pageant can surpass, In vastness or display, This palace of transparent glass, 'Where thousands in one moving mass, Will throng from day to day. I passed its portals, and I saw A wor:d's superb bazaar; And while I gazed in silent awe, I wondered not that it should draw Its millions near and far. I slowly pa , sed through aisle and nave, On close inquiry bent, And arch and roof, in furrowed wave, And all I viewed around me gave • Fresh cause lor wonderment. . A countless, ceaseless moving stream Pressed oo with eager view; And what I witnessed did not seem A scene of earth—'twaa like a dream, Which never could be true. All that I here beheld was wrought Upon a skilful plan; And every object that I sought Gave rise to one prevailing thought— " How wonderful is man:" Each turn, new objects followed new, Amid the temple's scope; And while I wondering stood to view I thought It could be likened to Some vast kaleidoscope. On massive pedestal and base Enormous statues stood ; The tasty model decked its case, And all within the spacious place Was beautiful and good. Gardens displayed their "floral flush," And spread their odours round, And fountains cool were seen to gush, Nor did the giant organs hush Their deep mysterious sound. While tiny, in science and in art, Fair products were displayed, The Palace showed in every part The trophies of the world's wide mart In commerce and in trade. Arranged in this capacious room, With pleasure I beheld The newest fabrics of the loom, And textile products for costume That never were excelled. I never witnessed such a show, Except at lIYAM'S Mart ; Tkat celebrated Clothes Depot, Where dress is sold for rrices low Strong, suitable, and smart. All that the " World's Bazaar" displayed To my admiring eye, I find at HY AM'S House of Trade, And hence the purchases I've made From his superb supply. Well might the dress of lIYAM fill place in this display ; For what I've said I utter still— That HYAM, in his trading skill, Stands highest of the day.

We, the undersigned presbyters of the diocese, deem it to be cur duty to put forth and publish our reasons f )r declining to attend any ruridecanal meetings for electing such representatives, or otherwise to take any part whatever relating to such assembly of the clergy, called a synod,' or the, proceedings and acts thereof. " We have come to this determination, " I.: Because, if such assembly, summoned and holden according to the directions, and for the purposes men tioned in the Bishop's pastoral letter, do not contravene the strict letter of the laws and constitutions at present in force for regulating the action of the Church of Eng land, it is, in our judgment and belief, opposed to the spirit. and intention of such laws and constitutions, and altogether unprecedented in the history of the Church. "2. Because the primary and avowed object for Whielksuch assembly is to be convened is to issue a synodical declaration of adherence to the article of the creedL-' I acknowledge ono baptism for the remission of sins;' which it is alleged has been virtually denied by a judgment delivered by her Majesty the Queen, as under 'God, the only supreme gOvernor of this realm, as well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes as temporal, on the recommendation of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, with the concurrence of the two archbi shops; such a declaration being, trs we believe, altos I.gether uncalled for, inasmuch as the decision of her Majesty was not intended to impugn, neither does it, in our judgment,- in any degree whatever impugn, such article of the breed—an article which we con• stantlY , andd solemnly 'repeat. before God and in the face of the congregation, with the full assent and con sent' of our minds. "3. Because, although it is declared by the Bishop that in the proceedings of such assembly it is his de sire that there shall be as great consideration as pos sible for the judgment of all,' .and that the represen tatives shall speak and vote therein according to their own judgment, yet it is expressly provided in the pas• toral letter calling the assembly that ' the bishop shall himself decide what matters shall actually be brought under the consideration of the synod,' and that no re solution can be deemed an act of the synod which has not his concurrence.' " 4. BeCause, whatever bo the object of holding such assembly, it is manifestly powerless in law, not having authority to pass any canons or constitutions which can settle any matter whatever, or be binding even upon chose who pass them, whilst it is calculated to produce great evil and mischief, even to the disruption of the Church, being designedly intended to exhibit this diocese as independent in itself, standing out in unbecoming and injurious, if not schismatical,t opposition to the Archbishop of the province, and the constituted authori ties, by which the whole body of the Church of England is governed.. ; " For these reasons we feel compelled to abstain from taking any part whatever in the proposed assembly; and in putting them forth we desire to testify our unfeigned respect and honour for the character of the present Arch bishop of the province, as well as for the office which he holds, and at the same time to express our deliberate opinion that his Grace has not forfeited bis right to Catholic communion: " May, 181)1.

In the morning the demand was at higher prices than were obtain able at a subsequent period of the day. The transactions were as follow :—East Lancashire, Quarters, 15 9-16—Lan• cashire and Yorkshire, 57—Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire, 29% South-Eastern and Dover, 213—York and North Alidland, 23 3 4. BIRMINGHAM, MAY 26. _ _ _ STOtir EXCHANGE. - The arrangements made by the va rious railway companies for the conveyance of vis tors to the Great Industrial Exhibition (now the prices of admission are reduced) lead to the belief that during the next few weeks the traffic returns will be very considerably augmented. It appears, however, to be almost forgotten that the anticipated increase, seeing that the half-year is so far advanced, can have bat little influence upon the next railway dividends; while the probability is, that after the summer months have passed over, and the Exhibition excitement subsided, the travelling between the provinces and London will be se riously diminished. Be this as it may, confidence in railway property has slightly rallied within these two or three days, and prices have an upward tendency. To-day London and NorthrWestern were transacted at 124, and this may be taken as an indication of quotations generally. Tile LION. MRS. NORTON'S NEW NOVEL, "STUART OF DUNLEATIt."—The Morning Chronicle .in an elaborate review of this remarkable production says, " W e are fairly astonished at this book. We had of course ex pected a clever work from a very clever woman, but Stuart of Dunreath' is a great work of genius, in which the delicacy, symmetrical truth, and exquisite conduct of the execution are even more admirable than the innate and sustained energy of a noble ideal. There is a creation before us origi nal, simple, and complete as an antique statue, or a play of Sophocles. It would take the excellences of many authors to give a fair idea of this book. The pathos of Dickens, the wit of Sheridan an d o f Di srae li, t h e e l oquence of Hahn-Hahn, and the story of Scott. Our mature judgment is that there will be many a long day before the English public can hope again to see so consummate a work of genius as Mrs. Nor ton's 'Stuart of Dunleath.' " AMUSEMENTS FOE ALL CLASSES.—We are re quested to state that Lord William Lennox's novel, "Percy Hamilton; or the Adventures of a Westminster Boy," will be published to-morrow by Mr. Shoberl, 20, Great Marlbo rough-street, and may be had of all booksellers, and,at all the libraries. Also, now ready, Lady Bulwer Lytton's new novel, " Miriam S e dley, a T a l e o f R e al Life," " which," ob serves the United Service Gazette, " will be hailed with de light." 3. " The Wife's Sister; or the Forbidden Marriage," by Mrs. thibback (niece of the celebrated novelist, Miss Austen). This work," says the Athenteuse.

OBSERVER," AND ITS G R ATUITOUS -STAMPED TWENTY.COLUMN HALF-SEDUM SUPPLEALENT,—In the four successive Sundays in May there haS been an extra Sup plementigiatis) published with the Observer (at a cost ex ceeding five hundred pounds), which has enabled the editors to give the opening, and a very full - description of the valu able contents of the Great Exhibition, extending over about sixty of the Observer columns, namely, twenty-one on May 4, thirteen on May 11, fifteen on May 18, and fourteen on May 2i ; and, owing to the extra Supplements, without depriving the readers of the Usual quantity of miscellaneous news. it iney be here remarked that there have been three gentlemen of the Observer establishment daily occupied at the Exhibition, all the past month, and whose descriptive compilations have been chiefly original.

Ilis Lordship, we don ,recciltly, for the purpose of inspectine• the Pa lace, awl returned to Knowsley only towards the erYBPal middle of the past week. Probably the unusual exertion made on the oc casion proved too much for his Lerdshi s strength, for at ten o'clock - yesterday , we are informed, i h , e suffered a severe apoplectic .attack; and was for a time in imminent danger. Surgical aid vas instantly calledinfrom the vicinity and Mr. Bicieisteili, of Liverpool; was sent fo r ; , and the means used to restore his Lordship were, we believe, so tar suc cessful that he had last evening recovered consciousness. Lord Stanley, we understand, was immediately advised, by telegraeb, of his venerabl e parent ' s condition, and i s ex pected 'to arrive at Knowsley, thus MartiPgoselsir . erino AlLien rul f Orb at an early hour Yesterday, to the astonishment of almost everybody, rot withstanding the fall of price to is., the interior of the Crystal Palace was not so much crowded as usual. A great crush was anticipated, and the consequence was that a comp•arceively small number came.. Up to five o'clock only 91,258 persons entered the buildmg, and the receipts at the deers fell to 920/. This, with the sole of season tickets, male a total of 9601.—an im mense decline from the amount collected on Saturday. The visitors app ea r e d c hi e fly to belong to the middle class of society, and few fustian jackets were observed among them. They did not confine themselves to the nave, but were well spread over the interior, and all seemed intent on making good use of their time, and studying carefully the departments which most interested them. By a judicious arrangement the seats which had previously been distributed in the nave and transept were removed to the more retired and less attractive parts. Is is not now probable that there will be any very great rush of people to Hyde park till the Ist of J un e, w h en the summer excursion trains begin to run. The only other novelty connected with yesterday's experi ence at the Exhibition worth mentioning is the capture of three pickpockets, two women and one m a n, who made a sa d m i stake in g , oing there to exercise their vocation. Th e women were de teoted by two Belgian policemen, and from their dialect were evidently provincial thieves. One stated that she wasfrom Edinburgh, and spoke undo u bt e d b road Scotch - The other said she came from Cork, b u t h er accent is . not Hibernian. The male thief is a Frenchman, and has been "in trouble" before. He was admirably got up for the occasion, with a new hat and coat, an unexceptionable white waistcoat, and patent leather boots, very smartly made. The uninitiated would have set him down as a fashionable foreigner come to look at the mob in a philo sophic spirit of observation, but a detective with an un fortunately tenacious memory for faces recognized hire as he passed through the entrance, and he was followed, observed actively engaged in th e m ysteries of his profes sion, and at once re move d f rom t h e steno of temptation into which he had intruded. " What time did the ma gistrate give you before?" said Superintendent Pearce to him at the station. " Six weeks," was the reply of the swell naob'ernan, who appeared to consider himself the most injured and unlucky of mortals. The unfavour able state of the weather yesterday had, no doubt, some influence upon the influx of visitors, who for the most part must have gone to Hyde-park either by omnibus or on foot. There were very few season ticket-holders there during the day, and the thoroughfare from Piccadilly to Knightsbridge presented a remarkable contrast to the bustle and excitement of the last three weeks. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Prussia, Prince Frederick William and the Princess Louisa of Prussia, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburgh Gotha, and his Royal Highness Duke Ernest of Wurteraburg, left Osborne, for London, at a quarter past ten o'clock yesterday morning.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert and the illustrious party loft the station in seven of the Queen's carriages, escorted by a detachment of the Lancers, for Bucking ham Palace, where they arrived at a quarter -past two o'clock.

Now, 21 guns from etch ship (and there were about eight ships fired the salute), and the platform battery each time, or nearly so, makes an expen diture of gunpowder which would serve to maintain q well-contested action. We do not hear of her Majesty being fired over when she arrives at Backinghath Palace from Windsor, and why it should be indispensable on arriving at Gosport from London we are at a loss to conceive. The powder, at a!! events, might be restricted to a complimentary explosion from the Admiral's ship. Other attendant ceremonies might also be dispensed with, or reduced to a sireilur amount of simplicity, as., for instance, the nonsensical presentation of a massive pair of keys, supposed to represent the means of ingress into the Lieutenant-Governor's dominions, but which, wo believe, fit no lock of either of the gates of the garrison of Portsmouth. The Scindian, hired freight ship, sailed from Cowes this morning with troops far St. Helena.

Orthrs have been sent from the Admiralty to have her maj es ty' s packet Vivid, Captain Swithett, ready at Dover on Tuesday evening. the 27th inst., to convey their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia, with their numerous suite, from that port to Ostend. Their Royal Highnesses left Osborne -hone© this morning for London, and are expected to be present at a review on Woolwich-common to-morrow, previous to their leaving this country. The Birkenhead steam-frigate, Master-Commander Robert Salmond, according to the Halifax M orn i ng Chronicle, arri ve d at t h at port i n N ova S cot i a after a fine run of fourteen days from Plymouth. She had on hoard four companies of Royal Artillery for service in British North America, viz., two for Canada, one for New Brunswick, and one for Nova Scotia. The company to be stationed in the garrison at Halifax disembarked in the dockyard, and headed by the splendid band of the Connaught Rangers, marched into the Artillery-park. This is the second time that troops have been conveyed from England to North America in a steam-ship, and contrasts most favourably with the first experiment, on which oscasion, about raven years ago, her Majesty's steam-sloop Dee embarked a company of Royal Sap pers and Miners, and another of Artillery, for Halifax, After the Dee had groped her way across the Atlantic, touching in at every port she could make, sho landed her freight at this port. On comparing notes it was found that the troops had been cribbed up in the steamer for a period of six weeks. The performance of the Birkenhead has, on the other hand, been so highly satisfactory that we would fain hope the British Government will for all time to come adopt this the cheapest and most comfort able method for conveying troops to their stations in America. The Feizi Baari Turkish war -steamer was brought under the shears last week, and had her intermediate shaft and crank put on board, by Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field, the constructors of her engines. She commenced taking on board coals on Saturday, and will leave Woolwich on Thursday next for Constantinople. The officers have been most civil to visitors, and no re striction has been made to the number applying for per mission to go on board on week-days or on Sunday. On Sunday last as many as fifty persons were on board at one time, and each party had one of the crew to go round with, and even the officers cabins were free to the visitors, who did not scruple to avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing the officers sitting cross-legged on carpets smoking their long pipes in the oriental fashion. The men were also in groups, smoking while they sat cross-legged betwixt decks. Tl,e Feizi Baari has one 68-pounder iron gun fore and another aft, and ten 32- pounder brass guns for her broadsides. The Governolo Sardinian war -steamer is expected to arrive at Wool wich in the course of the present week. SPORTING NOTES. No. LVIII. SPORT AT IiAii.PENDEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
