EQUITABLR FIRE OFFICE. Capitalso,o^o/. (Incorpirated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The Icadin4 principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates m Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion r reniiirn 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 caleWat;on. It ha; be en f oun d by ex perience, th a t th e total annual losses of the different Established Companies hive not been proportionate to the arnort-d of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomrly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk male. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rancs Company is established. Thn true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap proached thr mgh Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been t.ufficiently acted en, 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 leas for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by stipporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The V.quitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own ffom time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrango- Merits 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 he n: ;de 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 Clause.

RAILWAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Digby Apply of ,he Exe lay, the iraittee. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN Up to last night it is stated that the authorities of the London and North-Western Railway continued to receive assurances of the good feeling of the men from various portions of the line, and more partieu• larly, it appears, does that spirit of concession prevail on the northern division, where the outbreak first took place. It has been already stated that the directors never contemplated the slightest alteration with reference to the men engaged u nder th e l ocomo ti ve d e p ar t men t on the southern division of the li ne , b u t i n re f erenc e to the northern they still adhere to the three months' notice, icid with a view to bring the matter to a con clusion so far as the engine-drivers and firemen of that division are concerned, the following notice has been issued, and each man called upon to append his sig nature thrrtto : " London and North-Western Railway (Northern Division), Engine Worlis, Crewe. "Do you desire to continue in the service of the company, subject to the existing regulations; and do you wi:hdraw your objections to the three months' notice, and in regard to all new enginemen and fire- :nen? Nearly every man to whom the foregoing glue tionB have been put on the northern division, it is stated, has subscribed his signature to the declaration of " I agree to the above ;" and is is further added that so many of the old hands hay,: subscribed to the form that of the 26 new men already employed 10 have been withdrawn, and have returned to their old employment on other lines, with the understanding that should the company require their services they should have the preference of selection. In reference to the question of the three months' notice, the most singular part of the matter is the fact th.:t it originated in a strike which took place on the Liverpool and Manchester line in the year 1836, and which is thus described in a paragraph inserted in tha half- y early report of that company, dated " Liver pool, July 27, 1836." It sass: — "Amongst the items of annual expenditure, those for locomotive power, and for coach and waggon disburse mews, have teen increased this half-) ear by various ac cidents, occasioning breakage of engines, waggons, and coaches, one of the consequences of a general strike on tla: part of the locomotive enginemen, and the necessity , thereby imposed upon the threet.)rs of employing com paratively inexperienced hands, or of yielding to the un reasonable demands of the enginemen, and by so doing seriously impairing their authority =or the future. For eoine time previous to the general strike the directors had been apprehecsive of such a step, and Lad intro duced the plan of reciairiog from the enginemen agree ments of service, with a stipulated period of notice before leaving the company's employ. Several of the men had entered into such agreements, but bad, not withstantiing, joined in the subsequent strike. Four of these the directors considered it their duty to bring before the magistrates, oho, having beard the case, committed the delinquents to liakdale Gaol, to be con fined to hard labour for one month, declaring at the same time that they considered thst offence of so grave a character that if these men, or any others, were brought l!icre them, and convicted of similar misconduct, they should ccmmit them to prison to hard labour for not less than three months. The directors have taken care that their [resent enginemen should all enter into agree ments of service, and they have every reason to believe tivtt the strict en asures adopted in this first display of insubordination will tend powerfully to secure discipline and ►;ood conduct hereafter." The foregoing, then, is the origin of the three months' notice, and Mr. Trevithick the locomotive superintendent of the northern division, considered it politic that it should be uniformly extended through out the whole of the northern division, instead of being confined to the Liverpool and Manchester line, now a part and parcel of the London and North- Western Railway. Whilst matters have thus arrived at an amicable conclusion on the northern division, it is to be very deeply regretted that they are not in so satisfactory a state on the southern, or London, division of the line. Up to Monday the directors had felt it advisable to serve the present 14 days' nctice to quit on 12 of the men, chiefly belonging to Camden station, and the authorities yesterday gave notice also to 10 additional drivers and firemen. It appears that some of the men, both at Rugby and Camden, have reported themselves sick, and thus have relieved themselves tron duty, as the authorities believe, with the intent of going about fur the purpose of agitation. The company still allege that many of these men have received their notices for ineompe tency and impertinence to their superior racers. How far this may be the case we are not in a position to state. Certain, however, it is that the men who have received these notices seem to be exeeperated to the highest pitch, and, although nearly ,very man on the southern division has ex pressed his desire to remain in the company's service under existing regulations, there is no knowing what influence the recent steps of the company in dismiss ing so many men may have, several being drivers of 13 and 14 year' standing en the line. On the side of the company we are assured that they have every desire to meet the wishes of the men fairly and reasonably expressed, whilst they are firm in their determination of exercising their own judg ment as to the capabilities and competency of their men individually, and the right to replace them by those whom they consider more efficient for the per formance of the responsible duties required. On the part of the men it is but just to state that there seems every dispositien to conciliation, and they appear particularly anxious that the directors and the public should he assured that they altogether repudiate a " strike," or any attempt at a " strike." They de clare positively they never contemplated a strike," and in answer to a question put to a large body of drivers and firemen at the Camden station on Tues day evening, they declared " that if the wages of the northern men were reduced on that part of the line to ls. per day, they would not strike' in conse quence, and that all the interference they adopted was to wk . Mr. Glyn, M.P., as the chairman of the com pany, to become the mediator between the authorities of the norti - ern division and their men." In the face of thie, however, we are assured that when the de putation of the southern division engine-drivers waited on Mr. Glyn, they even to that gentleman's face intimated that a strike would take place unless the men's wishes were met. Among the men generally, from all our reporter could glean up to last evening, the best spirit ap pears to prevail, and it is to be hoped that their vo luntary recommendation of a month's notice on the southern division in lieu of the present fortnight's no tice will be generally acted upon. Should it take place, there can be no doubt but the directors will receive it as a concession, and that even the notices already served on the men may be withdrawn. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH . NOTTS. NEWARK, JAN. I.—The contest in this division of the county of Nottingham is likely to be brought to a termination at an earlier period than was expected, in consequence of the somewhat sudden demise of the retiring Member, Mr. R. Bromley. Mr. Bromley had long been extremely ill, and hi s . medical advisers for some time past despaired Of his life, but still it was not anticipated that his death was so near at hand. On Friday last, however, he became considerably worse, ar.d the u nfavour.able symptoms grew upon him until Sunday e.vening. Early on Monday Dr. Hutchinson, the family physician, who resides at Nottingham, wi!s sent for, but Mr. Bromley died shortly after his arrival. It is anticipated that the nomination of his successor in the representa tion of South Notts will take place in this town on t he 22d inst.

JANUARY 2, 1851. 7 THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLIES who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district miler his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the measis of snaking a provisisn for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exczed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. llerries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs.

Yesterday a long inquiry was taken before Mr. Bedford, at the Anchor and Star Tavern, Warwick street, RTgent-street, as to the death of Mrs. Ann Wheeler, aged 34. It appeared the deceased resided with her husband, in the employ of Messrs. D. and J. Nicoll. The day before Christmas• day a hamper was sent to him, which he supposed to be from the country, and bis wife, who was enciente, opened it, and at the bottom was a large dead black cat. She was much alarmed at the time, and called some one to witness it. In the evening the deceased fainted, became very ill, and was put to bed. Delirium came on, and she died on Saturday night. A post morton examination of the body was made, and all the viscera of the stomach and chest were healthy; but on opening the head, matter was fund to be formed on the arachnoid membrane of ' the brain, which clearly accounted for death. Dr. Wegg, who attended deceased, was of opinion that from the time of opening the basket to the period of her death, about 76 hours, was sufficient for the formation of the matter, but it was very difficult to s•ly. S Ane evidence was gone into as to the sender of the hamper, but nothing positive was obtained. The CORONER said he was not sure if the party sending the hamper had really believed at the time that the fright at opening it would have produced death, would not have been guilty of murder. There was no positive evidence what had produced the in flammation of the brain, and he must leave the case to the jury. An open verdict was returned thlt the deceased died of inflammation of the arachnoid membrane of the brain. THE POPE, THE PARSON, AND THE PRESBYTER. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) The cannibals of New Zealand carry out the lex talionis of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, with Hebraic scrupulosity. Their punishment for a highwayman is to knock him down with their clubs and strip him of all he wears or carries. Their sen• tence upon a thief is literally to rob him—and as gentry of that kind are not able to remember to a trifle all they may have stolen, their executioners are not very nice in calculating the quantity of retributive property they restore to themselves, provided they take enough. The jurisconsults of the Antipodes betray, however, their barbarism in their candour. They have not the civilized hypocrisy of this side of "the ball we live on." They call a spade a spade, and in place of our delicate term " restitution," they use the homely word "rob" in its literal nakedness, not having that refinement of the" wise, who convey it call." The Canon of Chester is a cannibal in black breeches. He curses Popery because it persecutes, and proves his Protestantism, by bawling for the hangman to stran gle all who are guilty of using the Roman confes sional. He has, indeed, himself confessed that his expression is " atrocious," but so is the verb " rob." The error lies in the expression, not 'in the spirit which dictates it. That remains in its full malignity after the name which has been given to it is with drawn. lie declares that he recalls it before God, and recants it to men ; but the very next week he cants it hack again, with a more cordial Paganism than ever. The British Lion roars for.victims, and Mr. Hugh M'Neile is the British Lion. Born out of time, post dated twenty centuries—a metempsychosis of the An cient Druids—he is fit only to worship Thor, or mi• ulster at the altar of Moloch. From his den at Liver pool ho has prowled his way to London, and strayed into.:the metropolitan menagerie of No-Popery wild beasts. He calls for the deletion of Msyncoth. He would have a razzia of all Humanists who refuse to abjure the Pope. Our Catholic colonies are to have no more grants for the decent conduct of their wor ship. Their bishops are to be "put down." Popery is Antichrist, and here is the way Mr. MeNcile seeks to prove his Christianity : " The question was, could anything practical be done now? He would recommend that the poop a should re quire Parliament to exact that a total abjuration of the Pope of Rome should be a sine qua moue fur the holding of offices of trust and power under the Sovereign of England.—(` Llear, hear,' and great cheering.) Let the English people at o:;c. , demand of the Government and of the Parliament that there should be, instantly on the meeting of Parliament, a disendonment of .lily nooth College.—(Loud and continued cheering and clapping of hands.) There were also large endowments of Popery in the Colonies from the British Treasury, and there were numerous subscription lists for Popish chapels and schools containing Protestant names.— (Hear, hear.) Let there be no more Protestant sub. scriptions for Popish chapels.—(Hear, bear.) He had hoard it stated lately by a clergyman, who had made some inquiries respecting the marriages which had taken placo in his church by bans in the course of the year, that he found one-half of them were marriages be tween Roman Catholics and Protestants. It was the bounden duty of British Christians to guard against do mestic intercourse with Roman Catholics.—(tlear, hear.) If Protestants allowed their sons to become in timate with the daughters of Roman Catholics, they could not consistently turn round aed say, after per mitting such intimacy,—` I forbid any marriage.'" " The Jews hold no dealings with the Samaritans," and the unhappy wretch who calls himself an ex pounder of Christianity adorns the doctrine of his Master by prescribing social proscription as the cure for Romanism. What to him is the parable of the good Samaritan—what the declaration of Paul, that the " wall of partition is broken down," even between Jew and Gentile, and that " God is no respector of p e r s ons"—what the express rebuke of the Great Teacher himself to his disciples, when they forgot all his precepts of kindness and universal brotherhood in wondering that he, " being a Jew, should ask water of a woman of Samaria?" All the charities of life, all the great precepts of Christianity, are trodden under foot by this canonized savage, who has no more sense of the spirit of Evangelism than the orange woman in the shilling gallery has of the philosophy of Hamlet. Let us but act on his heathen principle— turn one•third of our fellow-countrymen into social banishment from the amenities of life with the remainder, 'and how long will a kingdom stand, thus divided against itself ? What will become of Ireland if Papists are to be regarded as Pariahs, under a Government pretending to respect equal rights, and a Queen cleiming to be at the head of Christendom. "Oh liberty !" exclaimed the Vendean heroine, " What deeds are dune in thy name !" " Oh, Christianity," may we cry, " What principles are preached in thine !" Eighteen centuries has the Gos pel been in the world, and here is a canon of the Church wearily grinding Act of Parliament prayers in his rotatory cabslasb, with as little sense of his vocation as a Kalmuck or a Tartar, and as utter an antagonism to the genius of the New Testament as the crucifiers of its Founder. Nur does he stand alone. Here has been Dr. Cumming belecturing the credulous upon the iniquity of the Cardinal's oath, wilfully mistranslating the harmless Latia into malignant English, and denouncing its alleged vows of persecution. Yet, what is this man who ventures to bear false witness against his neighbour? His own oath may now he seen, s ubscribed with his red hand in the books of the Scotch Presbytery in Lon don. He there declared his belief in and assent to the " standards," as they are called, of the Church of Scotland, and vowed that he would do full justice to the Confession of Faith, and the Westminster Cate chism, long and short, with what are facetiously termed their " Scripture proofs"—a super-fwtation of human traditions on the Bible—and an authoritative ecclesiastical interpretation of Scripture by men who denounce the Pope for " standing betwixt man and GA's own book." , What, then, does the " angelic doctor" swear to? Here it the answer. He vows (sec. 1) " that the defence of Christ's Church (thereby meaning his own dozy) appertaineth to . . Magis trates against . . . heretics, Papists, Anabaptists, &e., &c., and to root out all doctrines of devils and T , men." (2) " That to kings . . . rulers, arid magistrates . . . chiefly . . . purgation of ireligion appertain . . . not only for civil policy ii but for suppressing . . superstition." (3) That 7, " all maintainers of . . disguised apparel, holidays, 1 2 &e., should be punished by thee civil sword," because 19 " the examples of Scripture plainly declare that the 26 abusers of the Sacraments and contemners of the Woe d are worthy of death" (4) That to t • the Magistrate 2 , it pertains to punish them civilly that will not obey 16 the censure of the Kirk;" and (5) " also all troublers 23 and contemners of the same." (6) That " all ma -10 gistrates, sheriffs, &c. &c., are . . to search for, apprehend, and punish contraveners." (7) That 6 3 " the Solemn League and Covenant shall be sworn to !cl by all . . . subjects in this kingdom under pain of being punished as enemies to religion." (8 and g) 1 That all " ministers do proceed . . . against 4 such as refuse to . . . endeavour the extirpation of Popery, Prelacy (i. e., the Church of England), heresy, schism," &c. &c. Dr. Cumming vows that he will inculcate among other essential extracts from the 1 "pure milk of the word" the following exposition, from 8 the Larger Catechism. " The second commandment requireth • . . the removing of false worship ; and forbiddeth tolerating a false religion." Section 14 of the standard declares that thesecuring of the Church against" all error, heresy, and schism, and, namely, R- I 3 dependency, Anabaptism, &c., &c., shall be endeavoured by us ;" that " Christ's right to these kingdoms" shall not be " pleaded out of him by pretended liberty of con science . . or a dishonourable toleration." Sec tion 15th proclaims that " no person shall say mass, or sit to hear mass . . . under pain of coVt.sca lion of their goods . . and punishing their bodies • • • • for the first fault ; bani s h men t . . . for the second fault, and DEATII for the third fault." Section 17th " gives public testimony against the dangerous tenets of Erastianism, Independency, and what is called liberty of conscience," and declares that the " civil magistrates ought to suppress by corporal or civil punishments, such as, by spreading error or heresy, . . . disturb the peace of the Kirk." We spare our readers a further dose of the sickening far rago of tyrannous, hypocritical, and atrocious Pagan ism which may be found more at length by such as have stouter stomachs, in the " Standards of the Kirk," which this priestly parasite of ignorance, bigotry, and titled wealth has sworn to maintain. Enough has been quoted to satisfy the blindest of his fanatical followers, that he has subscribed a declara tion of principles infinitely more cruel, per secuting, and intolerant, than anything con tained in the Cardinal's oath, which, albeit, he refuses to believe that he never took, although Dr. Wiseman has given him his solemn assurance to that effect. This clerical jackdaw must be stripped of his borrowed Protestant feathers of pretended religious liberty—the calf-skin of persecution and ipriestcraft must he hung on his limbs recreant to the dismal doctrines he subscribed at his ordination ; and when next he appears on the stage, by particular desire, to act and personate his favourite character of toad-eater to the Bishops, and tuft-hunter of the High Church nobility - , he must be roundly taxed with his own oath, or required to defend his own creed; and, in place of g's evidence, he must be being permitted to turn Kin thrust into the dock to stand his trial before Commotv SENSE along with his accomplice malefactors. The next culprit on the Newgate Calendar of orthodoxy is the " Original Soapy Sam," now" Samuel, by Divine permission, Lord Bishop of Oxford." There is no "mincing the matter" with him. His plain Engli*h is that he is Pope already, and seeks protection against foreign importations. He is proprietor of the spiritual preserve, or gatnekeepe,r—and will suffer none of his birds to be ginned, snared, winged, or bagged by Italian poachers. Tru3 thar fowling pieces are both Brummagem. The same percussion caw, powder, and lead, are used by the gamekeeper as by the poacher, the coveys are to he " marked in " by the same mewl, and to the same end, that of tum bling them into the pot or hanging them its the larder ; but then the Bishop has got the licence, and insists upon the C3rdinal delivering up his gun. " We must not," declares the holy man, "through any dread of hard names, or unjust impurdtians, shrink in this day of reproach from maintaining firmly our own Church principles. To hold all that our Church teaches; to believe in their natunal sense, without ',serve or equivocation, either on thi, : - frie or on that, all ihe doc • trines of her article 3, catechism, and liturgical formularies; to love her and 11,r Eeglish Bible and her Book of Com mon Prayer, her daily devotions, and her decent ceremonies; to believe that, her mis'ion is from God; her creeds, her sacraments, and her orders from Christ; that man did not give them and cannot alter them; —;his, my beloved brethren, is at such a time as the present our bounden, and our e. eoial duty." "The Bible," it is obviouq, "the Bible alone, is not the religion of Protestants" of the Oxford school. " Articles, catechism, liturgical formularies, Common Prayer Book, decent ceremonies, creeds, sacraments. and orders are all from Christ," "man did not give them," although they are all in an Act of Parlia ment—" man cannot alter them," although the L'civy Council has—perhaps because it escapes the category by proving itself a conclave of old women, under the petticoat government of the " Queen's spiritual ~upremacy." Now what is all this but Popery in its rankest form ? What more does or says Cardinal Wiseman than that not only the Bible but the Ca tholic Church, and her creeds, forms and liturgies, are not of man, but of God's inviration ? That although all of them, except the Pentateuch and New Testament, are human composition, the cr , ?eds, sacra ments and order_-, are given directly by Christ, and that everything that the Church says, due=, and enacts is infallible, because handed down and, therefore, in spired by the second person of the Trinity ? ;lees Deputy Peacock, in his courageous letter to hi% constituents of the Ward of Bishopsgate, observe— " I consider the question . . . as only a contest between the two I , ,stablished Churches about an empty title. . . . The Church of England holds so many points of faith in common with the Church of Rome, that it is no easy matter to distinguish one from the other. I think it would be well if the Protestant Established Church would become more Protestant and less furnish ; her members would not then be so easily led away by the show and ceremony of the Church of Rome. How is it that so few Dissen ters join the' furnish Church ? In the large congrega tion to which I belong, I never heard but of one, and he changed to please his wife. I have no fear we shall ever again become subjects to the priestly domination of the Church of Rome." As an evidence of the pe culiar sort of Protestantism which actuates the mem- lers of the EstablishedChurch,it is edifying to know that the Alderman of the Ward suppressed this man!37 declaration at the Wardmote. Nor is it a less from €‘; e t r j u a e s t i: fi r e o s t e h s i s s a c n a t f f e o e r l i t n h g e that dic h m e u ß , d e e v r . o f f Hug n startling development of the principles which resul M'N is] Catholic priest who uses the Confessional not on the ground of the evil of confession, but of the priest not disclosing to the world the secrets he is sworn, and baund, even if i.e were not sworn, to seal with the molt sacred trust of secresy 1 We need scarcely say that nobo3y would confess, if his confession were liable to disclosure—and that the perpetration of thousands of crimes has been prevented by the ghostly terrors with which the priest has threatened in tending culprits. In this country the priest can have no possible interest in the encouragement or impunity of crime. To the depraved, the criminal, and superstitiow, the institution of the Confession affords the only access which the religious, the pure, and the good, can com mand to their inner hearts, touching them with divine charity, softening th.?ir hardness, and affording them the first glimpse of the beauty of purity and virtue. It is highly honourable to the Popish clergy that no temptation has induced them to break faith with even the most desperate and abandoned. To reproach them for not disclosing projected crime, by treachery and breach of trust, can only be the suggestion of a an whose moral intuitions are miserably perverted, as is, indeed, the case with most of those who substitute piety for morality, and preach that faith is all suffi cient and virtue mere filthy rags. Such a sentiment is a tacit reproach to the providence of God himself, because he. sees and knows all our thoughts and ac tions, yet we nowhere find that he discloses them; even when they are confessed to him in prayer. While cve are on this subject we feel bound to state that, from many letters we have received we are satis fied that the queries given in the Confession Service of the Catholic Book of Daily Devotion are never put by the priest to the poison confessing. They are mere suggestions to the devout to help their memory, and to point out to them, by detail, likely breaches of morality and religion. They are seldom read, just as many immodest passages in the Old and New Testa ment are generally skipped by Bible readers, although the look is daily before them, and loft open for the indiscriminate perusal of every member of their fami lLs. But if it was right for Paul, in letters addressed publicly to congregations, minutely to specify and &scribe almost every variety of incontinence, and every form of unnatural and nameless offences, not by general allusion, but by specification of sex, subject, and object, it is really a curious sort of orthodoxy which denounces a more veiled and delicate sugges tion of such practices by the successor of St. Peter as beastly, filthy, and indecent. The services of the Church are a mere translation of "the Word" into Inman language, and these queries are really nomore .has a inodern embodiment of much that may be 7ound more at large in the Epistles of the Apostle of Ale Gentiles. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. No day could well have been more unfortunate for the admission of the members of the Society of Arts to view the Crystal Palace than Tuesday ; for the weather was anything but favourable, a rain continu ing without intermission during the whole morning, and the roads in the neghbourhood of the edifice being one mass of loose, pulpy mud. Notwithstand ing these drawbacks, the invitation so liberally ac corded by Messrs. Fox and Henderson was gladly answered, and some hundreds of individuals flocked into the building about twelve o'clock, to hear the lec ture of Professor Cowper, and reconnoitre the works and workshops. The lecture was delivered in an enclosure, tem porarily hung round with carpets, under the gallery on the west of the contractors' offices. Professor Cowper began his discourse precisely at mid-day, in order to get,through the prescribed task as quickly as possible—that is, during the dinner hour of the men. Standing on a rostrum on the south side of the ex tempore room, and provided with a variety of models and diagrams, he went through a popular description of the mechanical details of the erection, very little of which, however, could be heard by the crowd who surrounded him, for the company the most re mote from the speaker was anything but stationary ; and the echoes of their footsteps and the noises neces sarily incidental to a huge unfinished building of this character either drowned or obscured the voice. The remarks that the Professor made were delivered with great hurry and volubility, but they were to the pur pose, although homely, desultory, and brief. After a few appropriate observations by way of introduction, he described the columns and the process by which they had been fashioned so precisely of that shape the most conducive to strength throughout ; illustrating by a simple experiment with a group of perpendicular quills (which he demonstrated could carry a burden of two hundred weight), that any fears as to their inca pacity to bear the weight of such a vast architectural pile were utterly groundless. While dwelling on the girders he showed how admirably the strain was dis tributed by the bracings, each of which he analysed with reference toits position and its individual utility—again affording a simple test of the efficiency of the method, by building, with moveable pieces of wood, a model of the girders which supported the roof, and applying to it a weight of more than one hundred weight; pointing out also by similar modes of proof the sagacity of Messrs. Fox and Henderson in securing perpendicular preservation of the entire framework by consulting the points liable to stress, and provitigs for the same by a scientific adjustment ofirtohn arms specifically calculated to spread and enfeeble e of the process adopted for the formation of the h f f e r t. oe shape b e andoene pres sure.n- prior The tboyp a whichc l i e n c g t lecturer r h caerf girdersthen er w described e cw s h c e rhri were thee ee d axchh.i bd hydraulictsetdistinctly catldyia g rma chinetestedam of the dt:pel descantingenprisneahgt con densations, apprehended. dus ingenuity of oo t f l msie theoe twx previsiont ht r hi e ce m h extreme emischief s forteligibilityte carrying eh o s f at is t n h gh e pt r ) lecture was the account given of the construction of the immense arches which snan the transept—the nature of an arch being critically explained by the professor, accompanied by an appeal to models, in which the attributes of thrust and tension were manifested, as a better means of appreciating the scientific beauty of the contrivance by which those perils had been overcome. The mode of elevating those large and cumbrous semi circles of metal were then alluded to ; after which the lecturer paid a well-deserved compliment to the skill, perseverance, and scientific acquirement of Mr. Pox, under whose personal supervision the works had been from the first moment carried on, closing with a passing reference to the trees which stand in all their native majesty, unimpaired and unconfined, under the transcept ; from which it was a very easy thing to derive a happy moral touching " trees of li berty," and the glorious freedom of the English con { stitution! The lecture concluded, the listeners followed the professor in a stream, and scrambling over planks and rafters witnessed the operation of the hydraulic ma chine, and the proving of a girder; examining also the circular saws which cut the gutters and the sash bars, the travelling scaffolding, the punching machines, the glazing processes, &c. Long after the artificers returned to their work did the guests of Messrs. Fox and Henderson remain in the building, for notwith standing the extreme inconvenience under which the scrutinytoak place,nothing could well he more interest ing—not only as an exemplification of mechanical skill as applied to the erection of an edifice for a prodigious and unprecedented object, but as an instance of in dustry and indefatigability, effort and enterprise, which we believe no other nation in the world could parallel. Every part of the building was examined in its turn, even to the galleries, the only access to which was by perpendicular ladders, and the only passage along which.was by narrow planks, without railings, in many cases far from secure. The cut-like faculty of walking in difficult places was sorely needed when mounted in these tipper regions. The view from the gallery on the north well repaid the adventurous visitor for the trouble of getting to this hazardous locality. A more perfect idea of the general extent of the area was gained from this point than from any other, and the coup tt ccil was most imposing. The length of the ❑ave was not no striking as might have been expected; but the perspective of lines occasioned by the delicate and symmetrical character of the iron pillars and girders was eminently beautiful, and chal lenged universal admiration. The glazing is still in a very incomplete state, nearly the whole of the tran sept, and many of the sashes on the east of it, re maining unfilled. The colours tried upon a portion of the lower range of iron work were freely dis cussed.. Few, however, cared to praise the vivid, oil and-colour-shop complexion of this experimental de coration ; for it was obvious that some neutral, homo geneous tint would have been more in accordance with good taste, aid more likely to promote a decorous and effective ensentbk. THE EXHIBITION OF 1851. In consequence of misapprehensions which have arisen and alterations which are required to be made in the areas for the sale of refreshments, the Execu tive Committee have determined upon calling for fresh tenders. CONDITIONS OF TENDER FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF SUP• PLYING REFRESHMENTS IN THE BUILDING. 1. Iler Majesty's Commissioners consider that it may conduce to the convenience of visitors to permit light and moderate refreshments to be obtained and consumed in certain prescribed parts of the building ; but they think it would be inconsistent with the nature of the Exhibition to allow the building to as sume the character of an hotel, tavern, or dining rooms: They will dispose of the right of sale of cer tain kinds of refreshments in one, two, or three sepa• rate contracts, subject to the conCitions hereinafter mentioned, to those persons who shall offer the largest sum of money for the right, with guarantee sufficient, in the opinion of the Executive Committee, to insure the proper execution of the contract. 2. Taree area, as indicated on,the plan, are to be fitted up, each respectively for the sale and consump tion of the following kinds of refeeehments, which are not to be taken out of the areas : Central Ares.—Fur ices, pastry, sandwiches, patties, fruits, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, lemonade, seltzer, and soda crater. Eastern and Western Areas.—For bread, butter and cheese, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, ginger beer, spruce beer, and Similar drinks ; a list of which must be approved by the Executive Committee, together with the other articles in No. 1, at the discretion of the contractor. 3. Persons may tender for all or any one of the refreshment areas ; but the tender for each area must be made out separately. 4. The Commissioners will erect the buildings and fittings shown by the accompanying plans. If the contractor desires to make any changes or additions, they must be done at his expense, and approved by the Executive Committee. 5. No cooking whatever will be allowed, and no heating apparatus can be used except for the purpose of warming water and making tea, coffee, chocolate, and similar beverages. All apparatus for this purpose must be approved, in writing, by the Executive Com mittee before it can be used. 6. Water and drainage u ill be supplied by the Commissioners, but all rubbish, fragments, stale sup plies, &e., must be removed from the building, be tween the hours of 6 and 8 e.m , and never be al• lowed to accumulate ; any neglect of this regulation will subject a contractor to a fine of 2/. for each com plaint, to be imposed absolutely by the Executive Committee. 7. Any waiter or servant of any contractor who may misconduct him or herself either by overcharge, incivility, or in any other way, shall be immediately discharged by the contractor, on being so required by the Executive Committee. All admissions of such waiters and servants, and of any persons on busieess, and the mode of passing all perfons connected with the refreshment departm , nt into the building, to be any from happ theft,en to fire,a ny o propertyr any defined by the Executive Committee. The Commissioners will not be responsible for e accidental d a e nta causes which lossesmaycontractor. Eutrane‘ s will be provided for the delivery of pro visions, &c. ; but the same will not be allowed to be used excepting between the hours of six and nine A.M., unless special permission be given by the Executive Committee. 9. The contractor at each refreshment area must supply fresh filtered water in glasses, gratis, to visi tors, and keep a sufficient supply at each area of the articles specified as above. 10. No wines, spirits, beer, or intoxicating drinks, can be sold or admitted by the contractor. 11. The contractors for the sale of refreshments in areas Nos. 2 and 3 will have the further right of sup plying refreshments, of such a character as the Exe cutive Committee may approve, to the persons em ployed in arranging the exhibition, from the day of signing the contract until the 30th of April, after which day he will be required to conform to the con ditions already provided. 12.
