The following is the Report of Captain Stephen Thomas : March , . Sir,—The situation and ad van t ages of Helston Consols 22 Mine lBsl are well known to me, from its having frequently come under my notice some years since, when I commenced working Wheal Lovel on its South. I have often heard Mine Captains say that if judiciously worked, rith a moderate capital (say 5,0001.), it would be a desir able in vestment. Captain Beecher, who possessed a large Interest in the Mine, stated she would make one of the richest Tin Mines in Corn ; and that after the steam-engine should be at work, the Profits would steadily increase as the levels became more numerous and extended. From what I knew of the undertaking, and from the tin raised in thi s di st ri ct being of the first quality, I am of °pi al, on that a p ro fi t of at least 5001. per month may be fairly calcu ated on afte r c l ear i ng and extending the present levels some twenty 1: thirty fathoms, so as to give fresh backs of tin.

Some men hoard their wealth, and do nobody good, While by others it's foolishly spent ; But MOSES, who long by the public have stood, Remember why money was sent ; • 31 3' commanding the markets, they buy a large stock Of the best, when the prices are cheap, And they always take care that the public who flock To their mart, shall the benefit reap. Thus the wealth that to some folks would be of no use, _ Is employ e d f or t h e good of mankind, For MOSES and SON in their buying profuse, To deal fairly are always i ne li ne d. What they buy is the best, and its made up in style, ~,,e And they pay for a thing when it's done; smallest of profits content them the while, tiv eY sell fifty to any shop's one. So the price at which M S OSE will sell a good coat, Or a vest, or a hat, or a shawl, Or trowsers, or boots, or a habit, and note, They are cheaper and bter than all. Then MOSES and SON, nay they long keep their health, / A nd of money the benefit reap, .'or they share with the public the use of their wealth, And supply them with clothes, good and cheap. handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on The „ application. tt th n "ew edition o f "Everybody's Book, containing a full report lett er late important trial, may be had gratis, on application, or by Post free. er aIOSES and SON have no connexion with any other house in 714 of London, except:the following : lit. l 4 don City Establi s h ment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, !o,k and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all conlinunicating. 1,4,eil West-end Branch, 5 06, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, t., Hart -street, all communicating.

CHARLES WATSON invites the public to an Inspection of the above, in every variety, commencing with the Queen's Lamp, from 2s. to 265. ; the mid size, from 12s. to 355. ; and the magnum, from 355. to five guineas.

THE TEETH and BREATH.—A good set of Teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while their pre servation is of the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the general health by the proper mastication of food, and the consequent possession of pure and sweet breath. Among the various preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or l'earl Dentiftice, stands unrivalled in in its capability of embellish ing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. It will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of inci pient decay, render tte gums firm and red, and thus fix the teeth firmly in their sockets ; and from its aromatic influence impart sweetness and purity to the breath.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 'Viet., 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 rremium 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 )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 loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tirre, 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 anneal 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 as. per cent, without the Average Clause.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted a ith ad vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili tated through secret practices acquired LA youth, or by the excesses of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un ceasing misery and regret.

The important advantages offered by the plan and constitution of the Life Department of this Society are— That Insurers are protected by a large invested capital, upon which there is no interest to pay, and for which no deduction of any kind is made, which enables the Directors to give the whole of the Profits to insuring members. That the Profits are divided annually amongst all members of five years' standing, and applied towards reducing life insurances to the lowest possible rates of premium. The following table exhibits the Abatement of Premium that has been made for the past nine years to members of five years' stand ing : Years of Rate of Years of Rate of Division. Abatement. Division. Abatement. 1842 £45 per Cent. 1847 £5O per Cent. 1813 45 „ 1848 50 PO 1844 46 „ 1849 52% ~ 1845 50 „ 1850 62% „ 1846 50 „ ____ A Policy taken out on or before the 24th of June, 1°45, at an an nual premium of 1001., will consequently be charged 471. 10s. as this ear's premium ; and it is expected that an equal abatement will in future be annually made. That persons Insuring their own lives, or the lives of others, may become members. That persons who are willing to forego participation in the profits can insure at a lower rate than that charged to members. The following table will show the effect of the reduction of pre mium made by the Society on Members' Policies that have been five years in force : Age when Sum Annual Premium Reduced insured.

If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will ray to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.

SAR,—Throughomt next week the Heath of .Newmarket will once more be. the rendezvous of the sporting w or ld . This meeting in tlit , " good old times" (?) commenced the racing season, now it figures in the catalogue as the tenth fixture; but in our respect it maintains its position as the first annual reunio a for the enlightenment of the public with regard to the three. -:year-old running, thus becoming a very important key to the result of the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas Stakes, Derby and. Oaks. It commences on Monday and extends to Friday,. a pretty good range. The sakes for the irst day,with the es ception of the two 50 soya. over the D.M. and R. M., have not: et closed. The Rowley Mile Sweepstakes of 50 sow. each, all the money, amounting to 3007., will be contested by a trio, and Midfei ought to be the winner. The Ditch Si reepstakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. for fillies, will lay between Cloticula and Iris, and as the latter receives 3lbs of the former, - that ought to turn the scale, but I doubt its doing so very n nich. On Tuesday one of the great guns of the meeting, Om Newmarket Handicap, stands for de cision; the field ir which I estimate at about sixteen, but at the present mon acnt it is difficult to form an accurate list; however. I think the following will be found wanting : Glauca, Woolwich, Pitsford, Vatican, William the Conqueror, Windischgra:z, Cl' sr moot, Legerdemain, Mooltan, Flare-up, Knook Knoll, Hes sts Homburg, Brother to Truthteller, and the John o'Gaunt colt; from the rest I will attempt the task of selecting the: winner. Uriel, 5 yrs, Bst 21b, from his previous running I slould set aside in favour "of Strongbow, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b, I fancy, wilt be in front, no mattemavbe wins. The same rentarks will apply to the-Knight ofGWyline, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, and B ushranger, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, the latter hav ing the pull. Chß xopion, although in at the easy weight of 7st, for a five-year old, has always cut such a wretched figure, that it ;its difficult to believe he will get any nearer tht at third or fourth place at the best. Kissaway, s rune age and weight, I hold in some re• - spect, and have no hesitation in asserting that she will be very c 5 , k t fist November,l3 1 b, enough by some cannot with 6 fo s th r w aBv a l arbd;albeit 18: :his :s Squire's aveiceot, r accomplished 1 : Minimum, sahtedNveaarswi y three lengths. Tc , phana, 6 yrs, Est lllb, is a bad spec. The Duke of Bedford's Quasimodo, 5 yrs, Est 101 b, is in on un commonly good tei till, and i have no doubt the talented oracle of the ring,(laptain Rous, thought so when he ac cepted with him, bust. 'tia said, he is not in such good trim ache might be. St.. George, 4 yrs, fist !Olb, comparatively with some of the others, is not in on winning terms. The foregoing observaticeo applies also to the Mouse, 4 yrs, 6st 91b. Mr. H. Stebbings' speedy animal, The Cutler, 3 yrs, sst 101 b, who has, i)ft and on, been snpported for a large sum ever since the acceptances appeared, is, in my humble opinion, somewhat overrated_ at his present weight; and for my part, I would just as soon back Entre-nous, same age and weight, as him; but, notwit:ihstanding, do not think his winning an impossible task. Re Bruit, late Thorough-good Sam, is, at the same weight and age as the preceding couple, a thorough-bad sps Antigone, 3 yrs, sst 21b, and not Hesse Homburg, will, I believe, represent the Goodwood Stable, said run well: her perErmances hitherto have marked her al 9ove the rank of mediocrity. Nondescript at the bottom of the handicap is very properly named. To sum up. I imagine the race will lay with Uriel, Strongbow, Kissaway, Quasim csdo, Antigone, The Cutler, and Bush ranger, and that it may possibly end thus : ANTIGON - E, or 1 QUASIMOI DO f THE CUTLER - 2 the other three close; up. Should any circumstance occur to make an alteration necessary, it will appear in Monday's paper. Three will Igo to the post for the Eighteenth Riddles worth, which Hernaindez ought to win; should he be bowled over it will be by N;aptha• Ariosto will win the 100 sovs. Stakes, over the Abingdon mile. On Wednesday we have the Column Stakes, which has often decided the fate of three or four Derby nags, it will hardly do so this time. The field will probably consi it of the tollowing :—Ariosto, Bst 41b Payment, Bst Ilb !The Black Sea, Bst 71b—Trinket (the fil,y by Amorino, out of Earring), 7st 131b—Hatherton, Bst 41b. One or two others may run, as the stake is minus forfeits, but not, as Car as I can discover, with any prospect of altering the result, -which, I think, will be as follows : ARIOSTO •• ••• (Nat) 1 PAYMENT The 200 sovs. Stakes, D.M., although boasting among the entries the names of Midas and Teddington, will, I fancy, be won by Coticula, \with The Ban in the second place. On Thursday the. Ditch Mile, 100 sovs. Sweepstakes, with an entry including the names of Storm, Catalpa, Ariosto, and Newminster, may possibly be won by Scott's horse, but in my opinion much snore likely bylMr. Payne's—more anon. The Claret Stakes will probably have Nutshell first, and William the Conqueror second. The 60 sovs. Stakes will be a close affair between Christina and Hurry Scurry, resulting in the victory of the fornier• On Friday the 100 soy& Stakes will be won by the Mountain Sylph colt, if he runs, otlaerwise Midas. Oleander wilLbeat Nondescript in their match. Ido not anticipate seitsWoit than fo rat the post for the Port Stakes, viz., Beellunter, Officioallflhe Knight of Avenel, and another, and the result something after this style— OFFICIOUS (Nat) 1 KNIGHT OF AVENEL ...(Marlow) 2 . .

ROYA,L ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. The Royal Italian Opera opened last night for, the season. The management is not, as last year, a' re public, but a monarchy under the government of Mr Gye, whose great experience well qualifies him fort te e task of management. The opera chosen for the opening lant night was Semiramide, the chef d'aurre alike of Rossini and of Grisi. In the representation of the character of the Assyrian Queen, Madame Grisi has always stood un approached, and when she appeared last night, the same Grisi that she! ever was, the applause with which she was welcomed was most rapturous ; she was obliged to wait for some minutes for the applause to subside before she could commence her recitative, "Fra tanti regi." The voice is as pure and as perfect as ever, and the " eel ramie was brilliantly given. The grand finale to the first act was magnificent in the rendering; in this scene Grisi stands, and always has stood alone. The two great duets in the second act, the first and the second with Arsace, were superbly given, and never has Madame Grisi been more majestic or more perfect as Semiramide than she was last evening. Mademoiselle Angri, who was k excellent voice, was the Arsace, and gave full Met to the music of the part. Her ren dering of the duet with Assur, in the first act, was full of energy, spirit, and true dramatic point, and in the duet with Grisi, in the second act, she was equally fine. Her two arias, the " Ah, qual Giorno," her scene d'intrata in the first act, and the cavatisa, " In si barbara," in the second, were both rendered with infinite spirit and taste. Signer Salva tori, a new baritone, from the operas of Naples add of Bar celona, and who hdacquired an enduring continental repu tation, from his creation of the part of Belisario, in Donizetti's opera of that name, made his debit in the part of Assur. His features are expressive, and his acting good, and he is evidently used to the stage. As to his voice, it would be an act of injustice to Signor Sal vatori to attempt to give any opinion of it from his performance of last night. Placards were distributed about the theatre claiming the indulgence of the public for him in consequence of his labouring under hoarseness and influenza, and it was evident Itont the commencement of the opera that his voice was completely out of order. Signor Tagliafico acted the part of the High Priest with great dignity, and Signor Mei Sus tained the little part of Idreno. The choruses were perfect, and the orchestra, under the direction of Costa, who was warmly greeted on his first appearance, magnificent. All the principal artistes were called on at the conclusion' of the opera, and the national anthem was Performed, the solo. Rails being sustained by Mesdames Castellon, Angri, and brisi. The house was crowded to suffocation iu eve , y part. The Queen's box was occupied by Lady Emily Cavendish and Miss Bathurst, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey and _ Mrs. Grey:skid ) party.
