ASYNOPSIS OF A SYSTEM The " Times" newspaper of the 9th of April, in an able are' de on the sanitary conditionofciety, says—" That it can no longer be said that the working Englishman rybo is ill clothed." The writer is co nvinced, as must be eve on ew o f bservation, that a complete c hange has taken place within the last years in this respect—a c h a nge whose origin is easily demonstrable, on an impartial review of 11Y9.31 and Co.'s operations. The proprietors have already argued and proved s their priority in n o n much for the cominu connexion with that system Walch has do sen ne undertakingnd acknowledged. many years nity at large, as every candid statist has When RYAM and Co. projected their first g trade r zeration an en , who in the posses ago, and hazarded a large capital in bringing into consid found the high they new order of things, they found the tailoring sion and under the control of private speculators iptices of the few sufficient for their own personal inimical however advantageous and lucrative thins ystem of things may New' ga, resolved have !proved to those who practised it, it was undoubtedly c a - ,; to the interests of the public at large ; confining, as it did, st t bene fits of good clothing to the possessors of plentiful pur ses. he Hyam and Co , on carefully weighing this state of thin on starting a system of cheapness, assured that an adequat e ee mPen station would be realised in what they would term " TIIE MONEY OF THE MANY." Such an immense reduction did HYAM and Co. make in the old exorbitant profits, that the practicability of the system was for a eon siderable time regarded as a matter of doubt ; but the money of the many was secured, and the money of the many, as anticipated, re moved every stumbling-block, and brought about a successful work ing of the system. Let it not be understood, however, that cheap ness was the only feature in lIYAM and Co.'s new system. It would have been very easy for the proprietors to have accommodated mat ters by manufacturing inferior mat erials, and by employing second rate cutters and workmen. But the contrary of this was the case. While their trading glass was low in point of price, it was high with reference to those essential particulars— FASHION AND QUALITY. The money of the many, which enabled them to sell at a moderate rate, enabled them, also, to buy the best materials, and to employ the beat workman. The interests of all classes had never before been assimilated in the tailoring trade ; an invidiou i distinction was in variably made, and if a person, not happily situated in a pec uniary sense, desired au article of dress, he was insulted by being presented with a perfectly different design in cut and make. But lIYAM and Co. discarded such practices, and convinced the public that first-r a t e articles of dress could be sold for charges which appeared at one time a very doubtful novelty. Such was the system of lIYAM and Co a system which Great Britain at large has recognised in the most satisfactory manner; and hence that improved appearance in clothing- to which the first jour nal in the world has alluded. True,-indeed, it is, that an improvement in this respect is ma nifest. The Ten Establishments rf HYAM and Co. in the most popular and populous towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a 550,0001. capital are not emtdoyed without effect. From thousands and hundreds of thousands do HYAM and Co. meet with support; by all classes of the community are their arti cles of attire adopted, ar.d in every direction are the proprietors' fashions traceable; nor can HYAM and Co. (while they feel grateful for such results) refrain from some degree of self-congratulation at thus being the projectors and promoters of a system which has pro duced so evident an improvement, in one feature at least, of the sani tary condition of the British public.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 00 /. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —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 are more the result of guess than calcination. 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 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 prcportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, 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 mad . of the e into each class of risk, and a return of on e moiety, or fluty per cent nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Fire are effected by this Company upon Insurances against Loss b y every 'description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

London, May 7, 1851. THE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851. How few of the visitors of the Groat 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, Low 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 ! The Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; but the wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes au 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. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration that induced Messrs. 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 employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might 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 hundrel. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half 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 established their system of trading it was impossible to obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can dress well—all classes eught to dress well. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own 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 STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they 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.

For wheat and flour there was a rathei better demand daring the course of last week, and floating cargoes of V. —gyptian wheat met i' some aiquiry at late rates. Barley maintained its value. Oats, t h e stock of w hich seems to have dwindled down unprecedeetedlyat the principal markets in the United Kingdom, were in request, but a considerable advance demanded liy holders tended to check sales. Beans were the turn dearer. Other articles without material change. This day's market was well attended by town and coun try huYrs.

THE SOMERSETSHIRE STAKES, &c. TO THE EDITOR Of THE SUN'. SIR,—I was not very . far out in my calculations on the Somersetshire Stakes; in Note No. 50 I remarked—" that the winner is certain to be one of the following four: —Cloth worker, 5 yrs, ist 9M—Cheerful, 5 yrs, 7 st—The Ban, 3 yrs , 6st 1216—Terpsichore, 3 yrs, 4st Blb. In my opinion,, en the B th course, it is more than 7to . 4 against The Ban ; he is a good horse, and will most assuredly be first or second; but, for the absolute first" I selected Cheerful. The race was run at a good pace from end to end; and won, rather easily, by Terpsichore, with young Goater up, by two lengths; The Ban beating Cheerful the same distance for second place; Clothworker fourth, and the rest all but beaten off I Before starting The Ban was backed against the field ; the race, however, verified my remarks that it was more than 7 to 4 agiainsf The Ban; on that course; and also, that he would " most assuredly be first or second." Of course, he is of no lase, as I remarked on Monday last, for the great event of Wednesday next. - The latest accounts received connected with the Derby name the following lot as the starters for that event :—Hernandez (Nat), Constella tion (Templeman), Heartbreaker (Bartholomew or Butler), The Marlborough Buck (Whitehouse), Glenhawk (Docke ra3), Telescope (probably Sly), Bonnie Dundee (Marlow), Midas (Norman), Tragedian (d), Ariosto, The Prime Mi nister, The Ban (Pearl), Teddington (Marson), Theseus (S. Rogers), The Knight of the Garter (probably Holmes), Hip polytus (Sharp). Louis Napoleon (Prince), Newminster (d), Mountain Deer (d), Hungerforel (Fenn), The Black Doctor (Osborne), Lamartine (A. Day up, if not on Mr. Hill's horse), Colt by Tearaway (Simpson, I believe), Gholab Singh, Colt by Epirus—Enterprise, Azeth, Neasham, Eng land's Glory (Wintringham), and Buckingham (Kitchener), The jockeys' names may be incorrect in one or two in stances, but, for the most part, will be found to be quite right. Seven-eighths of the starters, according to the latest accounts, were doing unexceptionable work. The following is the lot from which the winner will spring, viz. :—Hernan dez, The klaklborough Buck, Bonnie Dundee, The Prime Minister, Teddington, Lamartine, and Heartbreaker. From this lot I should first discard Heartbreaker, Teddington, Bonnie Dundee, and Lsmartine, and stand on the other three to pull my judgment through. triumphantly, placing them thus:-- THE PRIME MINISTER-. 1 THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK 2 HERNANDEZ 3 Teddington and Bonnie Dundee fourth and fifth; Lamartine and Heartbreaker the next two; Midas, Constellation, Neasham, and The Block Doctor foremost in the k TUC-. This, of course, is subject to such Untingencies as health, &c., on the part of The Prime Minister •, if he should not be " the thing" on the day, then commend me to the Buck or Her nandez, the latter for choice, for the Derby victor. On Nonday and Tuesday, after an inspection of the candidates at exercise on the Downs, I shall speak conclusively. The Derby betting is the same this morning as it was yesterday, at Bath.

The first performance this season of the chef d'eruvre not of Mozart only tpt of the )yrical drama, 1/ bon Giovanni, Mira:aced one of tie most crowded riudfezicei xsga.tlie sealiou,lo,,herAlajesti's 'Theatre last evening; The cast was the tame as at • the . 'close of last season, when Madame Fiorentini, for the first time, sus tained the part of Donna Anna, and by her excellent singing and acting, more than realized the expectations to which her previous performances had given rise. Last evening she again sustained this most arduous character, end having now completely got over the timidity from a hich every debutante mustnecessarily suffer, she was last night enabled to give full scope to her genius, and the conse quence was, that her Donna Anna was a perfect artistic triumph. Never have we heard the magnificent scena in which Donna Anna describes the atrocious conduct of Don Giovanni more energetically, more feelingly, more perfectly given. As a piece of vocalization it was fault• teas, as a piece of acting it was sublime. fho audience were enthusiastic in their plaudits, and the high tone thus given to the character in the com mencement was kept up throughout. Madame Fioren tini has added immensely to her already high reputa tion as an artist by her performance of Donna Anna last evening. But what can we say of the bright, sparkling, vivacious, fascinating, exquisitely graceful Zerlina of Madame Sontag ? Wo can or ly quote Voltaire's culogium of Racine, and say after eech air, Exquisite ! Beautiful ! Perfect ! Me deme Sontag loves and understands Mozart, and she throw her whole soul into the tart of Zerlina. The " La ci dareni" (with Coletti),. the " Batt', hatti," the " Vvdrai Curinu" were all rapturously encored, and her acting was as fascinating as her singing. Colours Don was a fine; manly piece of acting; he was in ex cellent voice, and rendered the music in a manner worthy of himself and of Mozart. Of the Leporello of Lablache it is a work of supererogation to speak; he was last night as great (in every sense of the word) es ever; ho appears to have recovered entirely from his hoarseness, and was full of life, spirit, and humour. The Elvira of Madame Guiliani is the most effective on the stage, and she sung and acted last night delightfully. She is almost the only Elvira who can render the music of the part as it ought to be rendered that has appeared of late years. Calzolari was the Ottavio, and gave '° Il mio tesoro" with :great sweetness. In the ball-room scene Carlotta Grist and Amelia Ferraris lent their valuable aid, and danced the minuet with infinite grace. The choruses and orchestra were perfect. Taken as a whole we have never" seen Il Don Giovanni so effectively performed as it was last evening. The new Divertissement Les Cosmopolites which was originally produced in honour of the opening of the Chrystal Palace, was again performed last evening. It is one of the most brilliant of choerographic spectacles. The mixture of the .various costumes produces an admi rable effect. It was much applauded. GRAND LITERARY BANQUET AT SOYER'S SYMPOSIUM. Alexis Soyer is the most princely of Amphitryons The grand idea which emanated from his fertile brain of inaugurating the opening of the Grand Symposium, by a banquet to the literati now assembled in London from all quarters of the globe, was yesterday practically developed, with a combination of magnificent liberality and exquisite artistic taste that adds a brilliant jewel to the diadem of culinary empire, which universal suffrage has placed upon the brow of the magnanimous Alexis. After a delighted ramble through the enchantments of the mansion and its grounds—the Temple of Danite—the Gallic Pavilion—the Bower of Ariadne—the Celestial Hall of Golden Lilies—the Glittering Recall le of Eternal Snow—and all the beautiful produc tions of decorative genius which have stamped the name of Mr. Alfred Adams with imperishable cele brity, at half-past six the cheering sound of trumpets heralded the advent of a mighty joint—a " saddleback," carved from the carcase of a gigantic ox, and weighing seventy-seven stone—to the portals of the Baronial Hall. Then commenced a scene of festive elegance which can never fade from the memory of any , who can boast of being one of the favoured gu ests of Soyer the Superb, on the memorable 15th of May, 1851. We can not suremon courage to attempt a description of Buell a galaxy of epicurean blessings. Delicious tears, well ing from a heart which has for once, at least, been conscious of tho joys of Paradise, would render impotent the effort. With genuine bro therly affection we commiserate and sympathise with those who were not of the elect. May the path of the peerless Soper be ever illumined by the bounteous blessings of Allah! The presidential chair was occupied by the beloved host himself; and amongst those present were assembled, to do honour to foreign fellow-labourers, representatives of the Times, The Sun, Herald, Advertiser, Chronicle, Post, Globe, Daily News, Weekly News, Literary Gazette, Il lustrated „News, and various prints and periodicals too numerous to mention. The first toast wag, of course, " The Queen," followed by "Prince Albert," " the Prince of Wa:es, and Ow rest of the Roy al Family," and The Army and Nsvy," for which thanks were eloquently returned by the lion. Captain Filzaaaorice and Captain Nicholls. The ridnost enthusiasm was developed in the reception of the royal names, and that of the princely originator of the great Exhibition, was hailed with reiterated bursts of fervid cheering. The CHAIRMAN then gave the toast of the evening, " The British and Foreign Press," which was drunk with all the honours ; and a demand of three cheers for the foreign visitors was responded to with the utmost cor diality. M. ACHILLE REIM, in the absence of M. Meet Janin, who was vehemently called for to respond to the former portion of the toast, returned thanks in French on behalf of the foreign press. He looked upon the re presentatives of the English press as his brethren and fellow-labourers in the great cause of civilisation and improvement. The year 1851 would be ever celebrate d d in history—it was the year tha t had done away wit tyrannies, and frontiers, an d restrictions and distin ctions of class and country, and ' h a d united all nations n th e bond of brotherhood. lie concluded by drinking " The English Press." Mr. R. lierox, of the Morning Herald, returned thanks on behalf of the English press. Mr. SMITH then, in a highly complimentary speech, gave " The health of their worthy chairman, M. Soyer," pointing out the great benefits he bad conferred upon the public by his enterprise and talents. The toast was drunk wit h the greatest enthusiasm. M. Sovuß then rose amidst loud cheers, and said—lt is with deep and heartfelt satisfaction that I rise on the present occasion; that I thank the distinguished guests who have this day honoured me with their presence; that I welcome you all cordially and sincerely to the Sympo!tiues. Still more grateful am I for your many kind wishes for the welfare and prosperity of this gi gantic establishment, to which, whatever its merits, I have devoted -by best abilities. That those wishes will be realised Ido not for my part one moment doubt. My endeavours in the gastronomic art have been for adopted olong a period so highly patronised i n En g land, m y country, that I am sure that patronage will not cease to be bestowed now that.' have engaged in more extended operations—now that like Caesar I have crossed the Ru bicon, and unfurled the banner of gastronomy, not only to a notion, but to a world. Gentlemen, looking around this festive board, I feel how inadequate it will be to ex press my feelings. This however, I can say,'that were the Symposium to last a century, it would be many, many years ere it would behold so brilliant and so fairy-like a scene as this—ere it would see gathered together in this baronial hall so magnificent an assemblage of the talent and the genius of all nations.—(gear, hear.) And to whom are we indebted for the opportunity and the great Undertaking which so deeply influences the fortunes of the Symposium, and as indistinctly brought about this glittering meeting, but to that calmly wise and un affectedly beneficent Prince the worthy mate of Royalty—his Royal Highness Prince Albert.—(Cheer,,s;) But for that Great Exhibition, which no w so Pr s ' o Y t raises its crystal head beneath his ausp ices, we 0,0 0 - many have expected to see assembled he re to-del d representa distinguished individuals--so many tal en o te man y sinews tives of the mighty empire of intellect —so °the arts, and of Of the great engines of the press, of together not only eenot cem e n e s: a tu t ho i e o t i n ro s n loyf artistic,di s e science.

Here a gracefully floating balloon, emblazoned with o S o ya's Thanks,' entered the hall from'somo invisible source, and hovered over the heads of the assemblage.

Gentlemen, I have only to sa y a few wor ds. v Woe° in the Groat Exhibition the productions of the world, from the raw material to the most perfect fabrics. We_ cknowiedge the performance pt refilled art; but, gtvea .tastes slat, eitrea:turt wanting`- 1 -anV a h and perlinne to all other thingstt is - the art of cooking, or as we Germans say, Die Koclikunst, For this reason it is, beyond all praise, that M. Soyer, the great artist in gastronomy, came to the resolution—nur der Forts chritt in europiiisehe Keehkunet vorzulegen. And to show the very age and bOdy of the art, its form end pressure, I therefore propose a jubeindes dreimal Hoch for M. Soyer. The German address which accompanied, and to some extent interlarded, that which we have reported in English, was most excitingly effective and produced a very unexp(ct , d result. The company rose, and led by some musical Englishmen, honoured M. Sayer with a volley of announcements dm " lie was a jolly good fellow, Which nobody could deny." This enthusiasm having subsided, M. Soyer, the chair man, proposed "The Latlies;" and Captain Fitzmauriee, " The Red Lion Society; some of the members of which were prestnt to add, by their scientific research and im portance, to, the dignity and universality of the literary banquet. Professor FoanEs returned thanks. The health of Mr. Fox, the eminent contractor, was also drunk before the company began to disperse. The guests shortly afterwards left the oanquet hall and adjourned to the bridge and terraces in front of the house, to witness a very brilliant display of fireworks and the ascent of a fire-balloon, with which the festivi- tics of the evening terminated. Tea, coffee, and other refreshments were served in the different saloons, and the company separated shortly before midnight, inexpressibly delighted with the splen did hospitalities of which they had bei3n partakers. The following was the bill of fare On the occasion of this memorable banquet in the Vatican of Gastronomy: TP,ENTE DEUX POTAGES.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. • Yesterday the receipts from visitors rose higher than ever. The 58. contributions amounted to 2,4301., and the sale of season-tickets, which still goes on prosper ously, swelled the total sum taken to 3,3001. Even the Executive Committee are astonished with their own aim eess, and it now seems difficult to say at what point their financial fortunes may stop. Professor Cowper gave t hiS first lecture to the students of King's College yesterday within the building. This first experiment of turning the Exhibition to educational uses has been Successful, and the Executive Committee are determined to.perso yore in their efforts iu that direction. They have re ceived applications from the National Schools, and from other bodies, for facilities with a view to e praqical course of instruction, but as yet'they have nos decide d what course they should pursue with regard to them. There can be no question raised as to the importearna o f this matter, and we hope to see all partieedcloo;:P coop era ting iu giving to the rising genersticn, and systematic conception of the Great Exhibition. of torty-five vestrymen and this closely-contested electiot a close, at nine o'clock.
