Capital-500,0007. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Tict., cap. 110.) - . - - - • . The leading principles of this Omer 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 co 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 he 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 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 lots 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 °Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. _ _ Insurances against Coss 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. t National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Firo t• Both Offices. - - CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 11, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. 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 2501.—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 Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. 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 let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. Ile. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of Juno last equal to 2,9911. 155. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1837. I Is. 104. 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 Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque do 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.

The position of various members of his family, connecting Horace Walpole with the Court, the Cabinet, and the Legislature—his own intercourse with those characters who became remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities—and his re putation as a Wit, a Scholar, and a Virtuoso, cannot fail, it is hoped, to render Ills Memoirs equally amusing and instructive.

"Is it true, Sir ?" " Yes, quite true; but what difference does it make to you who is in office ?" "Va by, Sir, it makes all the difference to me and poor people like me. We cannot live without cheap bread You know, Sir, lam a poor widow with three children, and I can only earn 6s. a week. My rent costs me Is. 6d. a week, and clothes cost me another is., so that I have only 3s. 6d. a week for bread for four people. We can get plenty for 3s. 6d. while it is as cheap as it is now; but what would become of us if it was dear? So you see, Sir, it make a great difference to us whether people who wish for cheap bread or dear bread are in office." This is not an imaginary case, but an actual conversation related to us by one of the parties engaged in it. Nor is it an unusual case, but, on the contrary, it is that of millions of families, with some Flight difference as to the number of shillings earned and the number of children to be fed. If Lord Stanley and others, born to spend thousands and tens of thousands a-year, could by any possibility realise the fact that multi tudes of families, many of them amounting to eight or ten persons, have to subsist on from 63. to 12s. a week, they would undeutand the corn and bread question better than they do at present. We must have one of two things— cheap bread or an immense increase of pauperism ; and surely it is better to allow the lab ,uring classes to feed themselves with cheap bread, earned by honest independent labour, than to have to support them at the public expense as wretched ani degraded paupers. —Liverpool Times. IMMENSE ENGINEERING WORKS.—At Mr. Napier's engineering works, Lancefield, there are two steam cylinders recently cast, which are for one of the new Cunard steamers, of larger dimensions than any hitherto made in this country or elsewhere. The diameter inside is 103 inches, and the length of stroke about 10 feet. The largest hitherto fitted up in the steamers of this celebrated line was 96 inches, which is also the size of those on board the Collina' line of American steamers. The largest slotting machine in exist ence is I) , •ing fitted up at Lancefield works, by Mr. Robert Napier. Some idea of the immense proportion of this huge mechanism may be formed when it is a ated that the castings forming the machine weigh about 100 tons. It is intended fo • cutting vertical grooves in large wheels, shafts, &c. ; and provision is made for screw-propeller shafts of the largest s i ze " on end," to have the requisite grooves cut in ternally or on the surface. When a single tool for perform ing appa-ently a very simple operation weighs 100 tons, the immense magnitude of the machinery prepared by it may be imagined. The vertical motion of the cutter is given in the ordinary way, by means of a crank motion overhead.— Glasgow North British Mail. Within the last six years upwards of one thousand new houses have been erected in this town, many of which are at present in an unfinished state; and notwithstanding this enormous increase, and taking into account those that are unfinished, there are not 400 houses unoccupied.

Captain Charles Hope Rcid (1822), on the retired list of 1846, died a few days since. He had served afloat 22 years, and his career is thus sketched by O'Byrne, in his "Naval Biography":-" Charles Hope Reid, a protégé of the Hopetoun family, was son of the late Charles Reid, Esq., of Watermeetings, county of Lanark, steward or agent, wo believe, to Lord Melville, by Wilhelmina Grunshield, nice?, of General Fingland Douglas, of Dumfriesshire, This officer (originally in the Hon. Fast India Company's service) entered the navy in March, 1797, as A. 8., on board the Colossus, 74. In the following summer ho was constantly engaged in rowing guard under the walls of Cadiz; and on one occasion the boat in which he served was so well de fended that Lord St. Vincent promoted the commanding officer, the late Lord William Stuart. The Colossus being wrecked on a ledge of rocks in St. Mary's Road, Scilly, Dec. 10, 1798, he joined, in the course of the ensuing month, the Magnificent, 74. From October, 1801, until November, 1804, 11r. Reid acted, off Oporto and in the North Sea and West Indies, as master of the Netley, schooner; in which vessel he co-operated in the reduction of Ste. Lucie, Juno 22, 1803, and assisted in 'the following September, at the capture of Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice. In 1805, having passed his examination, he was again placed midshipman on board the Nimble, cutter. On his return in her, as sub-lieutenant, to the West Indies, after having served in the Channel and off the port of Cadiz, he received an acting order from Rear- Admiral !Hon. Alexander Cochrane to assume command of the Trinidad schooner of 14 guns. While on his pas sage to join that vessel in the Hart sloop-of-war, the latter, in a gust of wind, fell over on her beam ends, and was only saved from foundering by his great activity and presence of mind. Attaining the rank of lieutenant, Jan. 22, 1808, he was subsequently appointed to the Brunswick, 74, part of the force employed in the exee dition against Copenhagen, where he assi2ed - at thiile barkation of the troops under Lord Cathcart, officiated as senior-lieutenant during the equipment of the Danish fleet, and ultimately, owing to the illness of his captain, assumed the sole charge of the ship, which be conducted home. In the Victory, 100, he aided in bringing home the remains of Sir John Moore's army after the battle of Corunna at the commencement of .1809, and thence forward, until promoted to the rank ofeemmander, June 2, 1812, served as flag-lieutenant to his patron, who had been appointed captain of the Baltic fleet. He com manded the Fervent, 12, and Calypso, 18. In January, 1816, as acting-captain for four months to the Trident, 64, guard-ship at Malta, where, as senior officer, ho eon ducted the duties of the port and of the naval arsenal, and Dec. 12, 1817, was appointed to the Driver sloop, in which vessel, until paid off in October, 1821, he had charge on the coast of Scotland of all the small cruisers under the orders of Sir William Johnstone Hope and his successor Rear-Admiral Robert Waller Otway." Captain John Mead (1847), on the retired list of 1840, died a few days since. He was born March 2, 1782, and was son of the Rev. R. Meade, by the Hon. Mary Do Courcy, daughter of John, 25th,Lord Kinsale, and sister of Admiral Hon. Michael De Courcy. He entered the navy September, 1794, as midshipman of the Mag nanime, 48, and served afloat for 16 years during the war. In the Magnanime, besides contributing to the capture of several privateers, he assisted at the taking, off Cape Finisterre, August, 1798, of La Decade, French frigate, 36, and at the defeat of Bonaparte's squadron intended for the invasion of Ireland. He was in the Canada when she saved the Mars, 74, from being wrecked on the rocks to the eastward of Ualiant. On the 20. h November, 1802, Mr. Meade was nominated acting lieutenant of the Cambrian, 40, to which be was confirmed April 19, 1803; the Leopard, 50, also on the Halifax station. On June 22, 1807, he assisted in en forcing the surrender of the United States frigate Che sapeake, in consequence of a refusal on the part of the latter to allow the British to search her for deserters. He subsequently, from May, 1808, until advanced to the rank of captain. Nov. 4, 1812, officiated as flag-lieu tenant to his uncle in the Tonnant,, SO; Diana, 38; and Fourdroysnt. He assisted, in the, Tonnant, at the em barkation of the army after the battle of Corunna in January, 1809, and was employed is the other ships on the Brazilian station. Commander Meade married, Sept. 19, 1814, Miss Elizabeth Hutchinson Quin, and by that lady had issue ten children. Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, C. 8., G.C.H., in his flag-ship the Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, was still at St. Helen's, yesterday, the wind continuing to blow from the westward, with f ou l weather. Tho Sprightly steam-tender is sent down to her daily with letters, &c. Mr. Charles Greig, second•maater of 1842, the senior (214,Yible o❑ the list, and now acting master of the Sea lark, 8, on the coast of Africa, has been confirmed to the rank of master. Mr. Bellamy, whose death we announced yesterday, was formerly assistant-master attendant of Portsmouth Dockyard, and lately mast>r•attendant of the Wool wich (not Chntham), from which establishment he was obliged to retire, in consequence of being seized with paralysis. An accident occurred t) Mr. A. Balliston, master commander of the Eifin steam tender, who fell from her paddlebox, while et Cowes, into the water; but it only resulted in a ducking, for he resumed bis duties imme diately afterwards. LAUNCH OF THE SCREW LINE•OF•BATTLE SHIP SANSPAREIL Tuesday having been the appointed day y for the launch of the Sanspareil, at the royal dockyard, Devonport, large number of persons of the county of Devon had determined to be present on the occasion. A great many arrived by the railway from Exeter and other places, and the applications for accommodation were more than usually numerous; but, unfortunately, t h e morn ing was Wind most inauspicious, for a strong ; r irom the south west, accompanied by heavy rain, continued all the fore noon. About one P.M. the rain ceased, and the wind shifted to the west, still however blowing strong. At three P.M. the dockyard gates were thrown open, at which time the street was densely crowded up so far as the Hotel, when a rush was made for the ship, the road to her slip being marked out by a strong body of police and labourers. About 3.30 the car riages of the Port Admiral, Sir W.g. Gage, G.C.H., and the Commander-in-Chief of the district, General the Hon. H. Murray, entered the yard, and soon after the Commodore Superintendent Lord John Hay, C. 8., and those assembled at his house, proceeded to the ship, where the dockyard band were placed, playing several national airs, &e. The ceremony of naming the Miss Sophi a Gage, niece of ship was then performed by the gallant Admiral, and at 3 .45, a lull having come on, those in authority thought the sooner she went off the better, and at eight minutes before four the string which suspended the ballast was parted by Miss Gage, and as it fell on the dog-shores they were k noc k e d a way, and the Sanspareil went off in gallant style, amid the cheers of the multitude. It should be remarked that some hundreds had per mission to be launched in the ship; but in consequence of the strong wind, and fearing accidents might occur, all communication with her was cut off, and very few wore left on board who wore not useful in assistiug to moor the vessel. Many thousands who were in the dockyard saw very little of the launch, and after the ship was in the water, hundreds still flocked to the scene. The Sanspareil, as we have several times stated, was originally laid down on the lines of the old ship of that name, captured on the Ist of Juno, 17 94. We believe the man is now living in the ne ighbourhood of Plymouth who fired the first gun at her. In the British navy she was a favourite ship, as she was then as superior to our two-deckers as the 84s are to our 725, and bore the fiag of Lord Hugh Seymour. The old ship was the sheer hulk in Haniosze for many years, and it was on being condemned to be broken up that it was determined to take off her lines, and to perpetuate her form and dimen sions, as well as her name. She has, however, been materially altered since she was first laid down, and since it was determined to fit her With screw propeller and machinery of 350-horse power. Her dimensions are now as follow: Ft. in. Length ... ••• "• ... 200 6 Ditto keel for tonnage • 165 6 Breadth, extreme ••• ••• „. 52 2 Ditto for tonnage ••• • 51 6 Ditto, moulded ... ..• ••• 50 8 Depth in holds... ••• ••• ... 22 8 Tonnage •••• ••• 2,335 He armament is to be 81 guns, instead o f 67, as for merly arranged; the odd gun being a 10-in. 85 cwt. pivot-gun, to be fitted on her forecastle. The Sanspareil is the most powerful screw two•dec k dr afloat in the world. His Netherlands Majesty's schooner Atalante, com manded by the Hon. Lieutenant Clerek, from Flushing, bound to Curaloa, put into St. Helen's R oa d s on Sun d ay last, and rent up to Spithead. She will proceed on the first fair wind. Alecto, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lavie, was paid advance at Devonport yesterday, and will proceed to-day for the coast of Africa with a mail. Birkenhead, steam transport, Master Commander Salmon, is now entering her own complement, and re quires about 50 blue jackets to make up her crew of 130. She is ordered to take troops and stores to Canada. Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant Commander Wake, was raid advance at Devonport on Tuesday morning. She drew her charts for the South American station, and is now ready for sea. Prince Regent, 90, Captain Harris, has received her new biwsprit and lower warts. She will not he out of the hands of the dockyard for three weeks. EDNESDAY. — C our t i- martial are or dered to be held on Friday, on board the Victory flag ship in this harbour, on the First Lieutenant (J. Moore) and the remaining officers and ship's company of the late steam-sloop Flamer, for the loss of that ship; also on Mr. Baker, mate of the late Flamer, for inebriety; On Commander St. Leger end the officers of the watch of the Flamer, also for her loss; and o n a marine, named Elam, for having shot and killed' , a Krooman. A Portuguese man•of-war steam•sloop, arrived in Cowes Roads last evening, and saluted the Royal sten dant at Osborne this morning. She is supposed to be laden with goods for the Great Exhibition of the Indus try of all Nations. The Sprightly steam tender, Mr. G. Allen Master Commanding, proceeded this morning out with Admi ralty and other dispatches Bud lettere to Vice-Admi ral SiriGeorge Seymour, K.C.8., in the Cumberland, 70, at St. Helen's, where she still remains wind-bound. The Pyrenees convict-sloop, weighed from Spithead to-day and dropped down to St. Helen's. The Vixen steam-sloop, having been overhauled and repaired for recommission, has been removed from dock to-day. Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Lyster, fitting for the pendant of Commodore Bruce, was taken into the steam-basin to-day and docked to have her bottom over hauled, some accident having happened to a steam-pipe under water. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 18.—The schooner Maria, of London, Captain Forbes, arrived in Catwater on Monday evening, from Bermuda, having on board Government stores and sundry articles intended for the Great Exhi bition in Hyde Park. She also brings home between 40 and 30 discharged convicts. WooLwicn, hlsacti 19.—Lieut. Samuel A. Derriman (1842) is appointed to be borne on the books of the Fis gard flag-ship, at Woolwich, to superintend the fitting of the Caradoc steam-vessel, of 350-horse power, in tended to serve as a mail packet on the Mediterranean station. It is expected Lieutenant Derriman will be ap pointed to command the Caradoc whe❑ she is ready for the pendant. Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, arrived at Woolwich at 2 o'clock P.m. from Yarmouth. The Vulcan steam troop-ship, Master-Commander Penn, now on her way with troops for the Cape of Good Hope, when she left Sheerness, on the 7th inst , for Spithead, steamed round at from eight to nine knots per hour, the engines having averaged that speed with 58 revolutions per minute, steam at 71b. pressure to the square inch, barometer 27k inches, and burning only 22 cwt. of fuel per hour. The engines are 350-horse power, and the consumption of coals only 71b. for each nominal horse power, or 2ilb. per indicated horse power, the engines exerting nearly three times greater power than they, were contracted for. The result is highly satisfac tory, as the vessel is fully 2,000 tons burden, and her draught of water 19 feet 6 inches. The Vulcan, after leaving Plymouth for Queenstown to embark the 47th Regiment of Foot, had a very boisterous passage, and carried away her foretop and maintopgallant masts. The engineQ, under these disadvantageous circumstances, are reported as everything that could be wished, and every part worked satisfactorily. The Vulcan will be the first large iron vessel of such magnitude used by the Government for so distant a voyage as the Cape of Good Hope, and the utility of her and her sister iron steam frigate of 350-horse power now fitting for sea at Sheerness, will be an excellent test of the comparative merits of iron ♦easels and vessels built of wood when used as troop-ships.

The sharPholders of this company assembled yester day at the London Tavern, to receive the report of the scrutineers on the poll demanded at- the meeting of the company on the preceding day with reference to the election of three directors. Four o'clock was the hour appointed, but the result was not announced until a quarter to six o'clock, at which time Mr. Glynn took the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that as they had met merely for the purpose of announcing the result of the scrutiny, and as the whole of the business of the ordinary meeting had been concluded the day before, they would confine them selves to the matter he had mentioned, and not go into anything else. Mr. GEACH and other shareholders having objected to that course, The CHAIRMAN said he had made up his mind on the subject not to go into anything else, and as soon as the business was done for which they had assembled, he would leave the chair. On being pressed for an expla nation, he stated that he would send in his resignation to the board that night.—(Cheers.) Mr. RONEY then read the result of the scrutiny, from which it appeared that 273 proprietors voted for the election of Mr. Margrave, representing 561,2401. stock in the company and 8,468 votes; for Mr. Boyd, 155 proprietors, representing 189,6801. stock and 3,169 votes; majority in favour of Mr. Margrave 5,269 votes.— (Cheers.) In favour of Mr. Smythe, 235 persons, re presenting 503,2001. stock and 7,368 votes ; for Mr. Gesell, 161 persons, representing 265,7001. stock and 4 039 votes; majority in favour of Mr. Smythe, 3,329 votes.—(Cheers.) In favour of Mr. Waddington, 268 persons, representing 538,070/. stock and 8,196 votes ; for Mr. Whalley, 157 persons, representing 237,680/. stock and 3,833 votes; majority in favour of Mr. Wad dington, 4 363 votes. This result was received with loud cheers. The CIIAIRMAN then declared the meeting dissolved, and left the room, Mr. GEACH said, he hoped they could have confidence in their directors, for without the confidence and support of the proprietors it would be impossible for the direc tors to do what was essential to promote the interests of the company. He said he was glad that he had not been elected a director. He came forward on this occasion at the request of a largo body of the pro prietors residing at Manchester, and he trusted that what ho had done would have the effect of promoting their interests.—(Cheers,) Mr. WADDINGTON, M.P., said ho was extremely gra tified by the confidence reposed in him by the pro prietors, and he could assure them that if he found the directors did not work in concert he would be the first man to declare it, and to give back the confidence re posed in him. The Great Northern Company had thrown off the mask, and unless they were prepared to defend themselves they must suffer materially; but if the directors worked day by day as faithful trustees, he had no doubt the position of the company would be very much improved. He would endeavour to do his utmost for them—(Loud cheers)—and he believed the first thing would be to examine the locomotive department; and if he found he could not bring it into a state of economy ho would consent to let the working of the line by con tract, provided that it could be worked cheaper by that means, but not otherwise. He would say that if a re sponsible contractor could work the line for less than they could, by all means let him work the line. He would make it his business to go into the whole of the traffic arrangements and the working of the line, and he would endeavour to show his gratitude for the confidence they had placed in him by their votes that day. lie was glad they had given him an opportunity of promoting their interests, and he could assure them that it his exer tions should fail that his health would fail first. Mr. MARGRAVE apologised for the statement he felt it his duty to make at the meeting the day before, and judging from his position on the poll he thought he might conclude that they sapproved of his conduct on that occasion. He was glad that his conduct had been justified by their vote that day in electing him one of their trustees. He felt satisfied that their affairs only required to be conducted with vigour and honesty in order to place them in a position to set all other lines at defiance.—(Cheers.) Mr. SMYTUE was then called upon to express his opinion with regard to the undertaking, and in doing so stated that while he had the confidence of the proprie tors he would work for them to the best of his ability. He said he held a large stake in the company, and having no shares in any other line they might depend that he would do everything in his power to promote the pros perity of the Eastern Counties Railway.—(Cheers.) The proprietors then separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, MARCH 19. STOCK ExcnArfont.-=Prices were rather on the fall to-day.

(From the Registrar-General's Return.) It is matter of regret that this return exhibits a con dition of the public health in London still more unfavourable than was reported in the previous week. The widely-diffused illness, which has become the subject of common observatiou, produced in the week ending last Saturday 1,401 deaths, a rate of mortality exceeding that which usually prevails at a season of the year more inauspicious than the present. The deaths rose to 1,213 in the middle of Fe bruary, when the weekly increase began; then having de clined to 1,148, they rose in the last two weeks to 1,247 and 1,401. The epidemic influenza of 1847-8, which quickly swelled the mortality of one week to sore than 2,400, had nearly disappeared in March of the latter year; but its effects were still visible in the returns, and the number of deaths was then 1,118, the highest in the ten weeks (of 1841-50) which correspond to that ending last Saturday. The average of the ten corresponding weeks was only 993, or, corrected for assumed increase of population, 1,083; on which the present return shows an increase of 318. The prevailing complaints are bronchitis, pneumonia, and that specifically described as " influenza." . . Amongit diseases bronchitis has produced the greatest number of fatal cases; 171 were attributed to this cause, the number in the previous week having been 160, sr double the usual amount at this time. Phthisis or con sumption carried off 166 persons last week, whilst the corrected average is 154. The deaths ascribed to pneu monia, which is chiefly fatal to children, are 123; whilst the average is about 90. looping -cough has risen to 92, about double the average. Influenza, which in the previous week numbered 15 deaths, has increased to 38. The cases are given in detail. Small-pox has declined to 16, measles numbers 29, scarlatina 16, fever 52. The following ease of cholera was recorded : In St. Thomas's Hospital, on 12th March, a man aged 53 years, died of Asiatic cholera. He was a labourer at the indigo warehouse, London Docks, and had resided at 13, Wilmot's-buildings, White.street, St. George's, Borough, to which confined neighbourhood (says the registrar) the body was removed. In this return no fewer than six deaths are ascribed to intemperance, not cases of fatal injury received after excessive indulgence, but those in which a habit of drinking has produced apoplexy or other diseases ; man of about 40 years, who was carried to the Strand Union workhouse, had been found speechless, and died of disease of the lungs and exhaustion from cold and want of sufficient food; and two cases are mentioned in which health was destroyed by pecuniary embarrassment. The impure air of the room in which the patient breathed, is also mentioned in one instance, as an accelerating cause of death. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING THE LAST WEEK.

THE METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS-OPTICE..--YeSter day was printed, t y order of the House of Commons, a report made by Mr. Mellor and Mr. Gwilt to Lord Seymour, as Chef Commissioner of the Woods and Forests, respecting the Metropolitan Buildings -office. The report states that, serious as are the defects in the constitution and distribu tion of the functions of the official referees and the regis trar, they have been aggravated by a struggle for authority on the part of the registrar and a consequent jealouey on the part of the official referee very prejudicial to the inte rest of the public. It would seem that a great number of cases have been withdrawn from the decision of the official referees rather than the parties would e encounter il the delay incident to proceedings under 4,900 4 Buildings Act. The present expenses are . about whichwould the u b le , supposing a ne report suggests an alteration about 1,1751. to h appointed te am to o p u d n e t cide to matters near lv double relating with such an appointment to judge to be buildings.

Mr. Joseph Makinson, commissi on merchant, Ll oy d- s t reet, left Manchester shortly before eight o'clock on Saturday evening, to return to his residence in Broughton-grove, Bury New-road. When he reached Fairy-lane (a short dis tance beyond Broughton-lane and the brick-kilns), he was suddenly attacked by three men. The first threw his arm round Mr. Makinson's neck, and attempted to disable him by strangulation ; the second struck him two or three violent blows over the head with some instrument loaded with lead, of the life-preserver or heavy-headed whip kind; and the third dragged him from the bury New-road some distance up Fairy-lane. Although 67 years old, Mr. Makinson is strong and active, and struggled so successfully with his ruffianly assailants as to get near the window of a h ouse in Fairy-lane, occupied by Mr. John Redfern, coal-merchant and brickmaker. After another struggle, Mr. Makinson contrived to strike the shutters of the window; and the blow and scuffle having been heard by Mr. Redfern's son, he hastened to open the door; the first sound caused by which was the signal for the three thieves to ma ke their escape as speedily as possible. Mr. Makinson was taken i n t o the house, and - s hortly afterwar ds , havin g somewhat re covered, he was conv e y ed home by policeman. Ile is now gradually recovering.—Halifax G uardian. ST.
