Disraeli has cotceived that the repubiLation of his father's Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.' is peculiarly web timed at the present moment, and he indicates the well-known chapters on the genius of the Papacy, and the ethical reAtions of Protestant sovereigns with Roman Catholic subjects as reflecting, mirror-li,e, the events, thoughts, passions, rind perplexities of the present agitated epoch.' In particular, he observes, that the stories of conversions to the Romish faith then rife, seem like narratives of the present tour, arid that the reader is almost tempted to substitute the names of his personal acquaintances for those of the courtiers of Charles. No apology was needed for re-introducing to the world so instructive and origb:al a work."—Times. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

The authorities of the above company have just issued rep7ut of the committee of shareholders appantecl at the general meeting in August, 1850, " with the view of taking into ecinsideration with the directors, and reporting of thy, meeting in Febi u!:ry, 1851. their opinion as to the future management of the affairs of the company ; and 41so whether, in the event of no Parliamentary enact ment of such provisions by any general law, any and -,hich of tl)e provisions of the Audit Bill laid before Parlianaent last ses,isti by the representatives of the different bodi es o f s h are h o ld ers can b e properly an d use fully a:h by this company and its directors." The following is th- report:— "Your committee have to report that they have carefully considered, at several meetings, the important matters re ferred to them, and they have come unanimously to certain conclusions. " Before, however, stating those conclusions, and in ex planation of them, your committee have to report that the company's Act of incorporation of 1846 (the Amalgamation Act, as it has generally been termed) provided fur the ma nagement of the undertaking until the meeting in February, :851, by continuing in office, as local committees in London. Liverpool, and Manchester, the three then existing boards of directors— namely, the London and Birminehatn board, of 22; the' Grand junction board, of 16; the Manchester anti Birmingham board, of 11; in all 49 members: a central go verning board of 18 being selected out of these 49 committee men and constituted the directors of the whole undertaking..; " The Act further provided for the dissolution of these three committees at the February meeting, 1851, vesting all the executive power and duties connected with the manage ment of the entire undertaking thenceforward in the board of 18 directors, but with authority to them to appoint such sub-committees of their body as should be found needful, and with authority also to the proprietors to increase the number of directors from 1 to any other number which they should think fit. "According to the best consideration which your com mittee have been able to give to the subject, and to the con • current testimony of the directors and officers of the com pany, the supervision by local directors, as regards ordinary details, thus combined by the Amalgamation Act, until February, 1851, with the other principle of general super vision and control by , a central board of directors, with paid officers, each reeKnaible for, apd ,periodically repurtiagi the *ogress of his business in his own department, has worked conveniently for the public, and with advantage to the proprietors, and accordingly your committee recommend its continuance. Having regard, however, to the vast extent of the undertaking, and the consequent amount of labour necessarily cast upon the local Committees as well as the board, it seems impossible that this system of management can be maintained by a board and by committees of their body limited altogether to 18 gentlemen, however well qualified for, and devoted to, the duties reasonably to be expected from them. "In support of this view, your committee think that the proprietors need only be reminded that (as was reported to your committee by the officers of the company ), committees are appointed for the working and management of the Lon don and North- Western undertaking proper, comprising 587 miles of railway and canal, with an estimated gross revenue of about 2,400,000/. per annum, and a capital expenditure of 29,000,0001., including 4,000,0001. contributed to 16 other undertakings (which comprise in the aggregate a further ex tent of 973 miles of railway and canal, with a capital expen diture of 21,500,0001.), the working and management of which demand the time and attention of the members of the direc tion; the Acts of Parliament making it necessary that the persons appointed to represent this company on the different boards, shall be London and North-Western directors. "This being a general deseription of the extent of the un dertaking to be managed, and 18 gentlemen appearing to your committee to be obviously insufficient to perform that duty, the next question was, what additional number was requisite? On the one hand it seemed clear that a very large body of gentlemen, meeting for deliberation as a central or governing authority, would not be likely to perform that duty efficiently; and that, on the other hand, the number of gentlemen to form, at each of the important termini of the line and elsewhere, the needful committees, must not be a small number. " Under all these circumstances your committee have, after much consideration, come to the unanimous conclusion, and accordingly they now recommend, that at the meeting in February, 1851, i , should be determined that the number of directors be increased to 30. " Should the meeting think it right to adopt this recom mendation (which it is satisfactory to your committee to be able to state accords with the opinion ,of the, board of diree - tots), provision will then hive to be made for the immediate election of 15 new directors, that is to say, 12 being the uum ber by which it is proposed that the board shall be increased, and three in lieu of that number of the present board of 18 who go out of office under the provisions of the Amalgama tion Act. " And with reference t•o the future, your committee have decided to recommend that of the 30 directors who will con stitute the board, six shall annually retire, and that those re tirements shall be according to seniority, subject, however, to a power for the directors to substitute, by ballot, for some three of those who would otherwise thus retire, any three of the whole board. " With regard to the second part of the reference to them —the question of the adoption of certain of the provisions of the Shareholders Audit Bill of last session—your committee beg to recommend for practical adoption the following clauses of that Bill, subject to the modifications stated with refer ence to each of them, namely— " 1. So much of clause 2 as provided for the appointment, at the second half-yearly meeting:in each year, of five share holders to act for the then ensuing year as an audit com mittee, whose duty it shall be to meet in the month of January in each year, in order to recommend to the ensuing half-yearly meeting in February the persons in their opinion suitable to be appointed as auditors in the place of those who at that meeting go out of office; and with a provision that no person shall be qualified to be elected or to act as a member of such audit committee, unless he be at the time of his election, and has been for the six calendar months then next immediately preceding, and continue during his year of office, the proprietor of such a n um b er o f s h ares or amount of stock in the undertaking as would qualify him to be a director, or if he be in the employment of the company. or the partner (in private trade) of any of the directors of or persons employed by the company, or the relative by blood (in the first degree) or the clerk of any such director or per son, or if he hold any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or be interested in any contract with the company; and that no member of such committee shall be capable of accepting any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or of being interested in any con tract with the company, during the time he shall be a mem ber of such committee. 2. So much of clause 5 as provided that no person shall be capable of being elected auditor who is then, or within six calendar months then next preceding has been, in the em ployment of the company or the partner (in private trade) of any of the directors of or persons employed by the com pany, or the relative by blood (in the first degree), or the clerk of any such director or person, or if he hold any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or be in terested in any contract with the company ; and that no auditor shall be capable of accepting any other office or place of trust or profit under this company, or of being interested in any contract with the company, during the time he shall be auditor. " 3. The whole of clause 9, providing that the auditors shall, for the purposes of each half-yearly audit, from time to time, employ some well-known public ac countant, w h o is in their opinion well acquainted with railway accounts and affairs, and wholly unconnected with and independent of the directors of, nr any person employed by, the com pany, to assist the auditors in the matter of the audit; and that such public accountant shall be paid by the company such competent salary or allowance as the auditors, subject to the confirmation of the general meeting, shall consider proportioned to his duties in each case, on each occasion of audit. And, since the effect of this provision will be greatly to reduce the labours of the auditors appointed by the com pany, your committee beg to recommend that, in any future election, their services be acknowledged by a paymen t of 1001. per annum each, with a free pass over all parts of the company's lines, and available at alLtimes during the year. " 4. So much of clause 13 as would secure the deposit by the directors, for the information of the proprietors, within the first seven days of each year, at such places as the audi tors shall suggest, of a list of such of the proprietors (with their places of residence) as are eligible for election as direc tors; such list also to be printed, and sold at a reasonable price to any proprietor applying for the same. " 5. So much of clause 15 as provides that, seven day s before each meeting for the election of dirtotora or auditors, the directors shall cause to be dispatched ,by post to every shareholder a list containing the names of such persons, if any„ as shall then have beat recommended by the audit committee for election as auditors, and of 'Such other per sons, if -- any, as shall then have bean proposed in writing by any sharehold er (t o t h e secretary of the company) as can didates for the office of director; and also a list containing the names of the directors whn are to retire from office st such meeting, and also the names and residences of all the persons who are directors or auditors of the company, or members of the audit committee, at the date Of the making of such list. " 6. So much of clause 16 as provides that the register of shareholders, as well as stockholders, with the number and description of shares or amount of stock to which each is entitled, shall be made up once a month, and be at all rea sonable times open to the proprietors, so far as regards the directors, auditors, and members of the audit committee from time to time in office. " 7. So much of clause 17 as provides that neither the di rectors, nor any other perspn, at the expense of the com pany, shall issue or distribute any appointment, or form of appointment, of a proxy in anticipation of, or for use at, any general meeting of the company, unless by the authority of some previous general meeting, or by resolution of four-fifths of the board specially summoned. " And 8. So much of clause 20 as would have provided that-the povier of re-electing directors at any meeting, at which such directors go out ofoffice, shall never be exercised in favour of more than four of such retiring directors. ‘. Your committee are aware that the whole retiring direc tors are legally eligible for rereleetion, but they recommend to the proprietors that in ftittire eleetions the toregoing rules be observed. "Your committee are unwilling to OOnclude their report without adding their unanimous declaration that, in the course of the inquiries and investigation which they have had occasion to make for the due discharbtref-tOwbties which they undertook on b e h a lf of the larrepht-obinvvtih,y have had every facility and assistance afforded to them by the directors and officers of the company."

The leading principles of this Office an Moderate and equitable Rat e s 0, premium for each cl,iss of ris':.—Annual division of Profits. the difficulty of collectina the elements on which to proportion rretnium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been co ereat. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess Nan calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual looses of the different Estdblished Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highe+t importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk b.' made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu canes 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 n, or systematically applied. Whatever he 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 Lnsurer is largely interested in this ~nestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classified,. tion and .Aver ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. livelier of Mr. Barker's ballads; srill, there is that tenderness about it which belongs to all the melodies proceeding from the same quarter.

London : Cocks and Co., New Burlington-street.—" This quadrille richly merits the appellation of Great' fastened upon it— a more effective, spirit-stirring, or delightful one we never listened to. The national airs of the different countries are cleverly intro duced. The finale is a combination of each, concluding with ' God save the Queen."

Sir.—l am a west end tradesman • some year-and-a-half back a certain nobleman unfortunately dealt with me end got into my debt, and from, which there seems some doubt if I ever shall get him out, unless the Legislature will abolish the law of privilege, under which he now treats me with contempt, and sets me at defiance, as I will at once show you. If I proceed against him in the County Court and go t• au execution against any effects be may have, I shall find myself shut out by the landlord or landlady of the house where he occupies furnished apartments, and to whom 4 sus pect he owes a large amount of rent. An execution against his person I cannot, have because of his privilege as a peer. Do you not call this a wrong without a remedy—a complete denial of justice? Begging your powerful assistance, I am, Sir, &c., AN UNPRIVILEGED TRADESMAN. TO TAE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--My attention has only to-day been called to a letter in your paper of Thursday evening, signed J. D., , repaoach fully casting some serious charges and- reflections on ewes - one of thertirryntirttien whose engagements render • them amenable to the caprice or temper at thou s ands, who expect, when a post-office is attached, that their frivolous question,: about letters, &c., must supersede all other busi ness. The economical method pursued by the Post-office for the acknowledged great benefit society derives, will not admit of employing a person solely to perform their duty at every office in the metropolis. I suggest a method to cure the nervous and irritable temper of J. D., who, it appears, wanted to be served instanter—namely, to place him behind a counter where a tolerably good business is being carried on, and, independent of his regular duties, see that he failed not to answer a continual group of inquirers (not always the most polite) in such matters as these :—"ls this letter in time for the next delivery ?" " Give me a stamp, and change me half a sovereign ; " When will this letter arrive?" " Just weigh this letter ;" " Register these five letters ;" " Trouble you Ibr a wafer," &e. I think after this trial J. D. would pause before attempting to write anonymous letters calculated to prejudice the public mind against individuals placed in a situation of great trust and continual mental anxiety. I am, Sir. your obedient servant, NON-ARISTOCRATIC SHOPMAN. Feb. 8, 1851. TO' THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, Will you permit me, through the medium of your journal, to remind your Pi mlico correspondent, who com plains .of the want of attention uniformly exhibited towards him at the Letter Receiving Offices, that he may easily avoid the annoyance by providing himself with postage stamps, the use of which greatly facilitates postal arrange ments. Your correspondent, it would appear, systematically ne glect:4 doing this, brings upon himself great inconvenience in consequence, and thus esteems himself an injured man, and asks you to redress his grievance. _ I am, Sir, &c., PREVENTIVE. THE IMPROVEMENT OF LEICESTER -SQUARE.—A meeting of the inhabitants of this district was held on Tues day evening at the Sabloniere Hotel, to take into considera tion Mr. Wyld's proposal for the erection of his great globe hi the centre of the square, and for its improvement and ornamental arrangement. The meeting was numerously attended. The chairman briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to consider what should be done with the square, which was now a public nuisance. Mr. Wyld then lose and stated that the building he proposed to erect in the square was for the purpose of exhibition. It would be com posed of iron, wood, and glass, and as little stone should be in its canstruction as the ciEcial referees would allow. This building would comprise a globe representing the earth, sixty feet in diameter; and the remaining part would contain specimens,, both geographical and ethnographical, of mine rals, cestumes, &c. He proposed to purchase the freehold for ten years, at a cost of 3,0004 If the inhabitants, at the expiration of that time., were willing that he should con tinue, well and good; but if not, he pledged himself to re move all the building, and convert the square into a garden. The building would nearly till the square. It was to be eir cular,. with Jour projections, and not more than 20 feet high. From the centre a dome, 60 feet high, would rise, encloaing the globe. The globe would be viewed from the interior, the countries being modelled in relief on the interior surface. The building would be erected in five weeks. The Chairman anfrkos doubted whether there was not an act . prolpb tb it ,, ie , g q erec tion of any building higher than the rail, o and t also as r to in watchmen thee aqua e.
