We find the following in the Hanover Gazette of the 12th :—" On the 3d December last Lord PAL. MERSTON addressed to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin a note, in which he stated that having learned that Prussia and Austria had agreed to enter the Germanic Confederation with the states not included in it by the treaty of Vienna, be was called on to de clare that the territory of the Germanic Confedera tion was not formed solely by the voluntary union of the states which constitute it, but by a European treaty; so that the territory could not be modi fied without the consent and accord of all the powers which signed the treaty of Vienna. La forming the Germanic Confederation, the prin ciple was admitted that it s h ou ld only e composed of German elements. This fundamental principle bad been abandoned in the convention referred to. The British Government, however, not having re ceived positive and complete news on this affair, did not at the moment think it right to pronounce formally on the projected change, but it hoped that the Cabi nets of Vienna and Berlin would, before taking any definitive resolution, give it precise explanations on the nature and object of the projected modifica- It which speciallym gh t demandedappear r t ei modifica tions, I s e , r and h e mo thedesirable. explanations on the point as to what sort o f in tervention one or several member s o f th e G erman i c Confederation proposed to exer c i se i n th e i nter i or affairs of states which might belong to it, and in any differences which might arise between the Sovereigns and the subjects.—The French Government, having receivep the official news that Austria proposed to enter the Germanic Confederation with all her states, hastened to declare to the Cabinet of Vienna that the French Government would consider the projected ex tension of the territory of the Confederation as an af fair which should be treated by all the parties who signed the treaty of 1815." We learn from 'Vienna that the Austrian Minister of War has ordered that all purchases of horses for re mounting the cavalry shall be suspended. 1' N°. 18,223.] LONDON, TUESDAY EVE SU'., FEBRUARY 18, 1851.

LONDON (CITY) SEWERS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. ST. PANCRAS (MIDDLESEX) PAVING BILL. On the second reading of this Bill being moved. Mr. CUBITT said that this was not the first time that he had had to oppose this Bill. Several noblemen and gen tlemen had been appointed trustees of the estates of the parish. They had at the beginning of the present 'Century - borrowed money for the purposes of improving the neighbourhood, which would be affected by this Bill. The Southampton estate had been pledged for the repayment of that money, and it was therefore a consequence that if this Bill were to pass, great inconvenience must of necessity arise. He should therefore move that this Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. SPOONER seconded the motion. Sir B. HALL regretted very much that this opposition had been offered to the Bill. So far from the Bill being op • posed to the feeling of the inhabitants, it was in perfect consonance *with them. It was backed by the names of one of thelSVeriThers for the district and one of the Members for the'county. It was a fact that there were at the pre sent time no less than seventeen boards of commissioners.' The roads were in a most miserable state, and the object of the Bill WM neither more nor less than to obtain the benefit of. self-government for the parishioners. This Bill would 'have the effect of gaining that benefit. The Honourable 'Member for AnclOyet.,,(Mr. Cubitt) had talked of the Southampton estate, 'but he seemed to have forgotten that there, _ was also the Somers' estate. Now, Somers-town was one of the most populous of the many dis tricts of London, and many thousands of persons had signed 'petitions in favour of the Bill. He, therefore, hoped that House would not countenance this opposition to the Bill. Sir R. lISIGLIS said that this Bill was neither more not less than anittempt to hand over the parishioners to the t4er 'ahem:lea of the select vestry of St. Pancras; and as Viklibanitilasalail4.posaibly arise, fEazif tt he hoped that the thil would be lost. , Lord DUDLEY STUART said that his Hon. Friend the Member for the University of Oxford bad, in his opinion, quite misrepresented the state of the case. The truth was, that the whole of these seventeen boards of commissioners were paid boards, and the parishioners had to pay them; and, therefore, they now desired to be relieved from the burden. He asked them to do nothing more than read the Bill a se cond time, and send it for the consideration of a Select Com mittee.—(Hear, hear.) Lord SEYMOUR thought it was exceedingly desirable that the House should pass the second reading of the Bill. He did not mean to say that the measure was perfect in itself as it stood, but it could be amended and its defects removed when it got into Committee.—(Hear, hear.) The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ••• • Against it ... Majority Tie Bill was then read a second time. SEVERN STEAM-TUG COMPANY'S BILL. This Bill was road a second time. PETITIONS. Mr. C. HINDLEY presented a petition from Ashton. under• Lyne praying for a repeal of the paper duties. Mr. POWER presented a petition from a place in the county of Cork deprecating the passing of any measure in terfering with the religious liberties of any class of her Ma jesty's subjects. Similar petitions were also presented from a parish in Dublin by Mr. Reynolds, from Dundalk by Mr. M'Cullagh, and from Tipperary by Mr. Scully. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from St. Ann's, Westminster, praying for the unconditional repeal of the win dow-duty. Mr. COBDEN presented petitions from several unions in Yorkshire praying for the establishment [of county financial boards. Sir WM. MOLES WORTH presented a petition from Van Dieman's Land praying that no more transports be sent to that colony. ... 72 ... -26 SHIPPING INTEREST.

(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 Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. _ • . . _ _ It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. _ . _ It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation t• the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted • n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this 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 (Nice will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tiff e, adopt such rates of Premisim 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, Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t Nati.nal Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire t* Both Offices.

The distinctive feature or this Company consists in the sufficiency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an A!suranco for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal 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. It will be seen that, by a single payment of Five Shillings, any Railway Traveller may be assured in the sum of 1001. for the re mainder of his life. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his (loath by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy.

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 England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—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, 1249, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/.25. id.: 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. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990 L 16s. 64., of which the annual premiums were 741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d.. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. lie. 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 do I'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 Parham, 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.

" I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not he without them on any account.

Oir lING V. BROOKS AND ANOTHER: This action was brought to recover the value of a schooner which was totally lost at sea, and, as was alleged, through the negligence of the defendants. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Shee, and Mr. Phipson conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Unthank appeared for the defendants. It appeared from the evidence that a schooner - limed the Harriet Emma, belonging to the plaintiff, left Sun derland on the 29th of May, 1850, with a cargo of coal for Wisbeach. She was brought to anchor next morn ing, and remained at anchor until noon, when she again started on her journey. The weather at this time was rather foggy, and when in full sail near Seaham the crew saw another vessel coming fast upon them. They put the helm about, but before the lapse of many minutes the vesselcatne in violent collision with the Harriet Emma, striking her with her stern on the larboard bow. The Harriet Emma went down, and all the crew were lost, with the exception of two seamen, Mason and Stollibrass, who escaped to shore in the long boat. The other vessel, including the whole crew, was totally lost. The plaintiff now attributed the loss of his schooner to the negligence of the crew on board this vessel which he alleged to be the Kate, of Newcastle, an iron schooner trading between that port and Rotten, and belonging to the defendants. In order to identify the vessel, evidence was produced on the part of the plaintiff, froth which it appeared that a fisherman belong', to Seaham; while fishing about seven or sigh Wire IM the gist of-Ma , ,*. . . 1 "` . 7-'-f`r• • ; -110thanie • beef cask cask and a steep-tub, and other trticles, branded with the name Kate, and also a boat containing the dead body of a sailor, with the name Kate of New castle painted on the stern outside, and Nicol Harvey in the inside, that being tho name of the captain who commanded the Kate. Mason and Stollibrass, who were .called, said the moment the Kate was seen the helm was put about, and that if the crew of the Kate had ported her helm the col lision would have been avoided. On these grounds the plaintiff contended he was entitled to recover from the defendants the value of the Harriet Emma, as well as the cargo on board, both having been wholly lost. Mr. WATSON, on the part of the defendants, said their vessel,lthe Kate, left the Tyn e a t s i x o ' c l oc k in th e morn ing on the 30th May, and had never been heard of since, except as regarded the boat and other articles which were picked up by the fishermen at Seaham. Therefore, although he was disposed to admit that the circumstances seemed to point to the Kate as the vessel which came in colli sion with the plaintiff 'a schooner, he contended, even if it were so, that the accident was inevitable, and arose out of the dense fog which prevailed at the time, and that no blame attached to the crew, who, unfortunately, all went to the bottom, not a single one on board being saved whom he could call before the jury to give his own account of the fatal occurrence. Several mariners were called ,who were at sea on the 30th of May in the near vicinity of the spot where the two vessels were lost, and they all agreed in their state ment as to the existence of a dense fog. The Learned JUDGE having summed' np, The jury returned a verdict for the defendants. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LONDON DOCK COMPANY.

The LORD CflANcEt.Loit took his Seat on the Woolsack shortly after Five o'clock. I Lord STANLEY presented a petition, numerously signed by landowners in the county of DevoNipraying for the imposi tion of import duties on agricult ura l produce and other articles, forga revision of the maviga4gii-laws, and for an al teration in the laws regulating the currency. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laiti several papers on the table of the House. -The ••.1 .•• - Presented two petitions against Papal Duke aggression, C o lp e loN aga D hist the admission of Jews into Parliament, of agricultural distress. s eit T i A , and several tm,T complain n ELANDinEgD INTEREST. The Earl of HARDWICKE presented 40 petitions from Thaadriobueagricultural distress. It his House was composed almost exchisively of landed proprietors they were ill fitted se been landowners contended thatbecause o this to consider .the subject. He considered that for that very reason they we re peculiarly well fitted for the consideration of this subject , inasmuch as the prosperity and well-being of this country an d its c onstitution depended upon the maintenance of the landed interest. When the motion for the repeal of the corn-laws was brought forward they were told there would be no great importation of foreign corn, and that by repealing those 1 WS they would, without damage to their interests, be getting rid of an obnoxious impost, the continuance of which might, int . t i mes of scarcity, excite the people of this country against the l andowners--that, in fact, they would be giving up nothing._ Thos e assurances h a d proved fallacious. He would admit that the condition of the people generally had improved, and was prosperous, but the landed interest was distressed, and he would ask what was the foundation for the assurance which had been given them that this depression _would be merely tempo rary. The petitions which he had to present declared that the state of all persons connected with land was one of dis tress. He should quote, in proof of this, the statements which he had received from sever destitutialrso pens detailing the state of alarm and approaching on under which the small owners and occupiers of land in C ambridgeshire and other counties laboured, and"the state of destitution of the agricultural labourers ; but he laboured under this disadvantage, that in quoting these statements lie was not at liberty to give the names of his informants. The Noble Lord then proceeded to read at great length, ex tracts from various letters which he had received, describing divers districts in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire as being in a state of great distress.

On the second reading o f t hi s Hill being p ut, Mr. PIGOTT said that the corporation of Hastings were anxious to carry as soon as possible this B , ill ; and he there fore trusted that the second reading not be opposed until the general Sanitary Impr vement Bill had been under the consideration of Parliament. The corporation of Hastings has taken every precaution to satisfy the requirements which that Bill was intended to meet. Mr. HOLLAND sincerely trusted that the second reading would be postponed until some further consideration of the matter., He would move that it be postponed for a month, so that the second reading should not be taken until the 18th of March. led Mr. BRISCOE seconded the motion. to the feelin gs of the Mr. FREIVEN a l so oppose d the second readi ng o f the Bill, on th e groun d that it was (Og inhabitants.

Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice that he should, on an early day, present a petition praying for the remission of the un wise and unjust charges whihh were imposed upon the ship. builders and shipowners of the port of,Dublin. Sir R. INGLIS suggested that the terms of the motion ought to be altered. Mr. REYNOLDS said that he had no objection to with draw the terms " unwise and unjust" with respect to the charges, it being understocd that he believed them to be both. RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. ANS rEY gave notice that on that day fortnight he should call the attention of the House to a petition presented on the 14th instant by the Hon.

SPOONER wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if it be the intention of the Government to bring in during the present session any Bill relating to savings banks, and if so, whether the same, or a similar Bill to that intro duced by the Government in the last session of Parliament ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was his intention to introduce a Bill on the subject of savings banks, but at present he could not name a day when he would bring it on. BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. HUME wished to ask the secretary of State whether any and what measures have been taken to carry out the recommendation of the Royal Commission respecting the future management of the British Museum. Sir G. GREY said the subject was now under the con sideration of Government, but no steps had yet been taken to carry out the recommendation of the Commissioners. Mr. .HUNIE gave notice that he should object to the voting of any public money to the British Museum until the House had a report on the subject. WOODS AND FORESTS. Viscount DUNCAN wished to ask Lord John Russell in which number of the Miscellaneous Estimates it was the intention of the Government to include the expenses of the royal parks? Lord J. RUSSELL said the expense would be included in No. 1 of the Miscellaneous Estimates. GRAND JURIES IN IRELAND.

Sir W. SOMERVILLE was understood to reply in the negative. GOVERNMENT BILLS. Sir GEORGE GREY said, as there were reasons which made it inconvenient for him to proceed to-night with his Bill for amending the law relating to the expenses of pro secutions, and his Bill for the removal of Smithfield-market, he should postpone them until to-morrow.

Mr. KEOGH inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce any Roman Catholic members into the commission appointed to inquire into the affairs and management of the Dublin University, the commission at present consisting only of Protestants. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he was at present not in a condition to say how the commission was composed. SUGAR DUTIES. Sir E. BUXTON gave notice that it was his intention to postpone his motion regarding the sugar duties until this day fortnight. THE POOR-LAW. Mr. P. SCROPE, in rising to move that a Select Com mittee be appointed to consider the expediency of assimilating the poor-laws of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and promoting the productive employ ment of able-bodied paupers, said he knew nothing he could say would induce the House to determine any ab stract proposition on the great question, and, therefore, it was that he asked the house to inquire into and consider the ques tion, and report the result of their deliberations to the House. He might be asked why he introduced into the question a subject apparently not immediately connected with it,viz., the best form of relief to the able-bodied poor, but he did so for this reason—that the main difficulty connected with the poor in England, Ireland, and Scotland was the mode at present existing of relieving the able-bodied poor. The poor-law had always been considered, and he thought justly, the most valuable of our ancient institutions, because upon it depended the peace, order, and tranquility of the country. The poor-law was introduced into Ireland in 1837, and ex tended greatly in 1847, but it was not yet assimilated in its mode or operation to the English poor-law. The great point of difference was the enormous disparity of out-door relief in the two countries. In Ireland there was no out-door relief, in England 7-Bths of the relief was out-door relief; while, to go farther, in Scotland there was no in-door relief. There was also great difference in the mode of levying, and without pronouncing which was the best, he did not see why there should not be one uniform system pursued. Then, with respect to the management of the poor, he thought it would be better to leave that entirely to the Irish authorities. In England and Scotland that principle prevailed, and why should not the principle be applied also to Ireland?—(Hear, hear.) It would be much more consonant to justice if they were to make the custom uniform in the three countries. Doing so would certainly be in keeping with our usual course of legislation. His main reason for making this motion was the deep in terest which the lower classes had in this matter, and the extent to which their welfare was affected. This was his reason for desiring that the laws of the several countries should be assimilated. If they did not pass s o me such measure as he had proposed, the consequence woald be that the pauper population of Ireland would be driven to draw relief from the poor-rates of this country.—(Hear, hear, and ironical cheers.) He hardly knew hew to understand those:cheers of the Irish Members ; but it was an wcertaimd fact that great numbers of that population bad been sent for relief to the poor-rates of England ; and seeing that this was the case, and that the poor of this country were debarred from marrying lest they should increase their numbers, - soine reason would seem to se rve if th e state of the population in Ireland was worse than in this country. The fact was, that in England the persons receiving relief were one in forty ; in Scotland it was one in twenty-eight, while in Ireland it was only one in sixteen. So far was it from being a fact that the Irish people were in a more destitute condition than those of any other part of the country. An Hox. Mr:Amu: then moved that the House be counted, and there being only 27 Members present, the House adjourned. _ - - GOOSEBERRIES IN FEBRUARY'--DUNOON.—Such is the extreme mildness of the season at th;s beautiful watering place, that Mr. Robertson, of Gowan Bank, West Bay, was able to furnish a lady with a small basketful of gooseberries to send to London last weeks—Kelso Chronicle.

The first impression produced by tho declaration of this enormous quantity was decidedly unfavourable; when, how ever, it was known that within a few days of the sale. Oc tober prices had been offered and refused for several pareels,the feeling gained ground that if proprietors were firm a fair proportion would find buyers at about the currency of October. From the beginning of the sale it was quite evident that the orders for the home trade and for export were un usually small, and although the first masks in the catalogue were kept up by the proprietors at full prices, and chiefly bought in, a decline of 2d to Gd per lb was subsequently submitted to, whenever a desire of realizing was shown ; this instead of inducing the buyers to conic forward, appeared to increase their reluctance to bid, and the result was, that on earls day very extensive withdrawals took place, large quantities were bought in, leaving only a small pro portion (2800 chests) s o ld, ev id ent l y f or immediate wants. c9CUItiSAI4I*"49-Clay tin pauket dyer c9chiatal preigAted RUSSIA.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack shortly after Five o'clock. Petitions were presented by Lord Stanley, the Earl of Erne, the Earl of Bandon, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the Earl of Enniskillen, from various parts of the country, against Papal aggression.

Lord BROUGHAM said he R billed to give notice that on Friday next he would move the first reading of the Bill for extending the jurisdiction of the county courts to bankruptcy cases; and be would on that occasion state the object and nature of the measure. He was aware that it was not usual to make such a statement until the second reading of a Bill; but he wished that the measure should go before the judges, the members of the bar, and the public generally, with some exp l anat i on of its details. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 15. THE BUDGET. Montrose has, The House then resol ve d it se lf into a Committee of Supply; Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH E Q UER th en rose to make his Financial Statement. He said— Mr. Bernal, often as I have on s imilar occasions ex perienced the in n t this necd H o o f us t e h , at l feel kind that neskindness in additi on I never stood kindnessniore than I do upon the present occasion, fo r my lion. to the ordinary duties im p osed u pon a Chancellor of the Exchequ er in makin g his financial statement, Friend the M ember called upon me to enter into some accounts of the inci dents of taxation for the year. I cannot ft • l su cient y describe the importance of the proposal which I am about t o submit to the House, and the more ties with which I am surrounded upon the present occa sion. When the income-tax was renewed is the year r posperi y 1845, the country w as i n a state oft which seemed to justify that renewal. In 1848 matters we re very different, and it is upon the statement of that year that I have to submit the proposal to the House and to take its sense. The proposal which was then submitted was that the income-tax should not, if renewed, be extended to Ireland.—(liear.) My objectis, I may say, to some ex tent altogether different.—(Hear.) In saying this I must also observe that the matter with which we have to deal is more a matter of anticipation than of retro spect, and the matter which I have now to bring under consideration is not that which respects the past, but the future, and the complexion of the report which I have to submit to the House bears, therefore, in that respect, upon the que stion. It is tr ue that the matters with which I have to trouble the House bear upon four months of the last year, but they in no respect affect the general question.
