EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 00 /. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are -Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of ris'z—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 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 net 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 propertioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tin - e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against 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.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURT II 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 let of June, 1849, and the 31st of %Tay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,953/. 2s. 6d.: of these 121, comrrising 106 livel, were accepted for 45,1251. 61. ixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 32(11. 3s. rag received by the Company in the shape of premiums . _ Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. 01 these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. fl., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to 2,991/. 15e. Ild. _ since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months 'hey had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque 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. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

It was deposed that de ceased, who was a married man, had been very unwell of late, and on Wednesday morning he was seen, at eight o'clock, in bed by the footman, who took him a cup of tea. A few minutes after a report was heard, and he was found shot through the heart. A revolver lay on his breast. Letters of a desponding character, in deceased's handwriting, were found in his room, which left no doubt of the state of his mind.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY Mortmsa.—A serious accident occurred yesterday afternoon, on board her Majesty's frigate Calliope, 26, Captain Sir J. Rverard Home, Batt, C. 8., in Hamoaze. She was about to be towed into the Sound, had slipped from her moorings, and was attached to a buoy near the flag ship Impregnable, lying under the Obelisk. One end of a towing warp was fastened to an iron boiler on board the steam-tug Avon, and several turns of the other end were passed round the capstan on the upper deck of the Calliope, but the paula of the capstan were not adjus ed. When the Avon went ahead, the sudden jerk on the capstan caused it to revolve with frightful velocity, and, as the capstan bars were not secured by swifters. pine, they flew about destructively in--all , directions- .githe officers and crew. Captain Home received several bruises about the head and body; an assistant surgeon and a quar termaster were severely injured, and a marine had his ear cut off. Signals were instantly made to the different ships in commission, from which the surgeons promptly attended. Some 18 in all were hurt, and it was found necessary to send Sir Everard Home and five others to the Royal Naval Hospital. The frigate was in consequence of the accident re placed at her moorings. The Amphitrite, 24, Captain C. Frederick, arrived from Portsmouth on Sunday, and continues, with the Fantome, 12, Commander J. H. Gennys, in the Sound. The Avon and Styx steamers towed the Indefatigable. 50, Captain R. Smart, K.H., from Hamoaze into the Sound on Saturday. She vas - paid wages yesterday. Captain Smart, on the 25th ult , published an additional list of de serters and stragglers, comprising 13 able seamen, three ordinary seamen, one first-class boy, and one lance and six private marines, besides whom three midshipmen, Messrs. Staunton, Neville, and Louis, are absent from the ship with out leave. Retired-Commander Thomas Burdwood died at his resi dence in Cobourg-street, Plymouth, on the 31st ult. His commission as lieutenant was dated the 29th of September, 1807, and as commander the 15th of April, 1814. A disabled brig, painted green above the bends, was on Saturday in tow by a smack, name unknown, between the Eddystone and Start, bound probably for Dartmouth. ELEVEN O'CLOCK A.M.—The following is the report of the cases of the officers and men wounded on board the Calliope by the capstan bare, and sent to the Royal Naval Hospital : Captain Sir Everard Home—severe wound on the head. Mr. Nettleton, assistant-surgeon—severe injury of the leg, requiring immediate amputation. ill r. Nemland, Quartermaster—fracture of the cranium. John Oxford, marine—contusion on the face. M. Jenkins, able-seaman—contused leg. James Dominy— contused thigh. COMMANDERS OF LINE-OF-BATTLE-SHIPS. By an Admiralty memorandum of Dec. 13, 1847, no officer was eligible for an appointment as commander to a line-of battle ship unless he had previously served " one year— " In command of a sloop," " As lieutenant in command of a brig," " As first lieutenant, or as gunnery lieutenant, in any ship in her Majesty's service." This memorsndum has now been rescinded, and any com mander my now be appointed to ships of the line and flag ships. ROYAL MARINE CADETS. By an Admiralty memorandum of March 23, 1843, it was ordered that— " Each marine cadet will be expected to give security for the payment of such sum to the Accountant• General of the Navy as may be fixed upon him." And by a nota bene to the above memorandum, dated Sept. 20,1843, it was ordered that— " Each cadet on presenting himself for examination on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, should be prepared with a sum not less than 401. for outfit; and 10/. for mess, wash ing, and other expenses." The following new regulation has, however, now been made, namely : " I❑ future, every young gentleman on whom it is intended to confer a commission as second lieutenant in the corps of Royal Marines, will be required to deposit with the Account ant General of the Navy the suns of 801., to cover the ex pense of his first outfit.' who died under 15 years, remaining precisely the same; and it also appears that, as compared with the .average of former years, last week's mortality gives a small increase among persons of middle age; results which in part are apparently due to the fact that 153 deaths, being more than the usual number, are entertd in the present bill as caused by consumption; and though pn.umonia has latterly been diminished in ta nifty to the young, bronchitis nas become mJr6 htal to Ihe more advanced in life. In the epidemic class, small-pox was fatal last week to 16 children and 3 men, whose ages were between 20 and 35 (the 19 deaths from this disease allowing a decrees/- of 13 on the previous week); measles wee fatal to 30 children, being an increase; scarlatina to 16 lives, tioiT ing-cougla to 51. Typhus and dierrl•cet seem to increase slightly, and the deaths from theSe in this return are 48 and 25 respectively. This class, which now comprises 230 deaths, is above the average, and seems to make progress. Out of the whole number"of cases in which small-pox was fatal, it is stated that only in three had vaccination been performed. The Registrar of Christchurch, Msrylebone, mentions that 12 deaths, caused by this disease, were registered in his sub-district in January. which, with one exception, were those of children, and in only one of these cases had vaccination been permitted by the parents, though gratuitously offered to nearly all. A man of twenty-four years, who died in Bath street, City-road, from confluent small-pox, after fifteen days' illness; is reported to have been vaccinated three times ineffectually. The death of au infant, aged only twelve days, was caused by " ehicken-pox (twelve days illness) terminating in convulsions, with congestion of the brain and bowels." In St. James, Bermondsey, at 4, Providence•buildings, a boy, aod 7 years, died of " arachuitis (3 weeks)." Mr. Martin, the registrar, adds that " several children who live on this spot are now ill; the tidal ditch is abomin ably offensive, and worse thanAfebaa ever known it at this season during upWards of 20 years, and yet it affords the only water which some of the inhabitants of Jacob's Island are able to procure for drink. He has another patient in the same court, whose life he believes will be sacrificed to the surroundirg abominations." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

WEST V. BARCENDALE. This was an action brought to recover damages for assault and false imprisonment. The defendant is one of the partners of the firnalof Pickford and Co., and the plaintiff was formerly in his employ:as man-servant at his seat at Whetstone. Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. O'Malley for the defence. From the evidence, it appeared that in 1848 a considerable quantity of plate was stolen from the defendant's house, and from various circumstances the plaintiff was suspected of being accessory to the theft. He was apprehended and taken before a magistrate, but the case was dismissed after a short examination. The present action was brought to re cover damages for the false imprisonment. A number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the defendant to show that he had fair and reasonable ground of suspicion. The main facts stated in the plea having been proved for the defendant, The CHIEF Jusricn was of opinion that the facts given in evidence, if the jury thought them proved, amounted to a reasonable and probable cause of suspicion. If not, no man was ever justified in causing the apprehension of another on the charge of felony. Mr. HUMFREY said he could not struggle with the facts as proved. His LORDSHIP—Of course not. It is not the duty of an advocate to contend with what cannot be contended against. A verdict was therefore directed for the defendant on the second plea of justification. CONSISTORY COURT, Feb. 5. Dr. Lushiugton being engaged at the Privy Council, a Surrogate Court was held by Dr. Robertson. HOLT V. HOLT. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Holt against his wife for a separation by reason of adultery. There was no appear ance for Mrs. Holt, and the proceedings were carried on in pcenam. Dr. R•nsursorr pronounced for the divorce. THE TRIAL OF THE SLOANES. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, FEB. 5. THE SENTENCE. At a later period of the day the prisoners were brought up for judgment. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE addressed them in the fallowing terms :—George Sloane and Theresa Sloane, you have pleaded guilty to several counts of an indictment, which charged you with having in various ways and upon various occasions assaulted and ill-treated a girl named Jane Wil bred, who was a servant in your employ. We have read with great care the depositions that were taken in your pre sence before the magistrate, and we did not think it ad visable to grant the application made by your counsel that you should be permitted to put in affidavits in answer to them, and in mitigation, partly from the circumstance mentioned by him—namely, your poverty, and a desire therefore to avoid putting you to an unnecessary expense, and partly because there are certain facts and certain state ments in those depositions which seem to speak for them selves and defy contradiction. It seems that this young per son—almost a child—an orphan, with no natural protector, came into your service, and it would seem that she was selected partly from the circumstance of her being an orphan, and having apparently a better constitution than some of the other girls, and therefore more likely to do you good service in the capacity in which you engaged her. For some time, it appears, that there was no reason for complaint on her part, but at length your course of treatment towards her appears to have entirely changed. Taking into con sideration, however, the age of the girl, and her opportu nities of obtaining redress, the Court does not consider that you are legally reporsible upon that portion of. the in dictment, and your punishment will not be increased on account of it ; but at the same time there is very little doubt that your conduct towards this poor girl has been most cruel in withholding from her proper Christian food. I say this, because you know that the indictment not only charges you with withholding proper food, but also with forcing upon her matter at which nature revolts, and which I will not offend the ears of the Court by further alluding to—it will be sufficient to say that you are charged with having forced upon her that which was nauseous, unwholesome, dis gusting, and unnatural. One would have thought that the position of that poor girl when she came into, your service would have demanded especial protection at your hands, and that while she conducted herself well you would have assumed the position of her natural guardians. It is im possible not to take into consideration the position of the parties charged with such an offence. One of you—a gentle man devoted to the study and practice of the law, who must be taken to be thoroughly well versed in a matter so simple as this, and who must have known what was his duty. The other, I regret to say, a female and a wife—one who it might have been thought would have been the first to protect a young helpless girl, who was placed in her power, but who, I regret to say, appears by the depositions to have taken an equal, if not a greater part, in all the indignities that were practised. When, after several months had elapsed, the con dition of this unfortunate young girl became known, through the kind and humane interference of a gentleman connected with your own profession, what was her condition ? Ema ciated—almost at the point of death, and so desperate her condition that she could not even be sent back to the union workhouse, but the only place she could be sent to was an hospital. The extreme state of emaciation to which she Wa.; reduced was evinced by the fact of the almost in credible reduction in her weight, and the cause of that emaciation appeared to be also clearly shown , by the circum• stance that the administration of proper wholesome food speedily restored her to health and to her original bulk. It also appears by the depositions that upon the person of this unfortunate girl being examined, marks of violence, some of recent and some of older date, were discovered ; those marks of violence extending all over her person, and in directly showing that she had been subjected to a long and severe course of ill-treatment. Ido not state these circum stances with any view of giving unnecessary pain. I trust that reflection has already caused you more pain than any remark or punishment the Court can inflict, I have thought fit to make them, because it is quite right that the public should know that in every case, where it is satisfactorily shown that a master or mistress has acted with cruelty towards a servant, the Court is determined to institute a strict inquiry into all the circumstances, and to award severe punishment. It now only remains for me to pass upon you the sentence which has been decided upon for your offence, which is that you be severally imprisoned for two years. The defendants heard the sentence without betraying any emotion, and at the close of:the Learned Judge's address they retired hastily from the dock. [PRICE SD. had been found in before death. In order to do so, she must have got over the top of a rabbit-hutch, near six feet high, and in her fall she would have carried away the long cobwebs, which hung a considerable length from the ceiling, and could not have fallen into such . a posture. Again, he thought it impossible that she could have replaced the rabLit hutch in the position in which it had been found, from the extreme narrowness and situation of the place; and his im pression was that she must have been placed there by some ! body else. Sergeatlt Kearney, in reply to the Magistrate, said that the lious , had not bee:: -- robbed . of any property that he could learn, and that if it had been entered by thieves, three watches, besides front 71. to St. in cash and other property nii!zlit have been carried away. The prisoner, In reply to the charge, said, on the street door having been forced open, the key was found inside, and all the other doors bolted and secured. Ile bad not, he said, seen his wife since Tuesday week, and even if he had the disposition to injure his wife - a feeling most distant from his thoughts, he had not strength to place her where she had been found. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that though the case was one of singular character and extreme suspicion, he did not think that any criminality attached to the prisoner, and he should, therefore, discharge him. The prisoner, who received an excellent character from two or three respectable persons, was then discharged. NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. On Monday night the first of a series of monthly soirees, wider the auspices of the National Reform Association, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, when a lecture on Parliamentary and financial reform was delivered by Mr. Hume, M.P. The large room was crowded to the door, a considerable proportion of the company being composed of the fair sex. Tea was served up in an adjoining apartment, and at seven o'clock the more important business of the. evening was commenced by a glee party singing the " People's Anthem." Sir J. WALMSLEY then proposed tbitAfaltn,le, tbri • old and indomitable friend of the peo*, should take the chair. Their object was to instruct the people, and his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume), on learning that such meetings were proposed, at once approved of the ar rangement, and declared that he would himself deliver the first , lecture.—(Cheers.) It had been said that the people were apathetic and indifferent to the ques tion of their political rights; but, if this was the case, their leaders alone were to blame.—(Hear, hear.) They should not teach the . people to follow after colla teral modes of reform—(Hear, hear)—but, on the con trary, to go boldly to their object.—(Hear, hear.) There was no one present who would not support free hold land societies, but it should be borne in mind that it was the man's natural right they asked, and not a right merely based upon land.— (Cheers.) They must remember that in this country it was by agitation that almost every great object had been gained; and as they were told by the Prime Minister himself that the people did not require reform, seeing they had not asked eagerly for it, his advice to them was to knock loudly at the door of the Constitution till every man entitled to the franchise obtained his right.—(Cheers.) It was not by freehold plans alone that they were to seek the ex tension of the franchise. He did not undervalue such plans; they were good as political engines; but their first duty was to go boldly to their purpose, and demand that men, whether they possessed land or not, should be ad mitted to their rights.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME, on taking the chair, said he did not ap pear there to deliver what was called a lecture, for he was no lecturer, and never wrote a speech in his life, but to lay before them such observations as he thought would be useful in the way of instruction relative to the present state of matters in this country. Looking at the indiffe rence of those now possessed of political power to the rights of the people at large, he had come to the conclu sion that the time had arrived when special steps should be taken for instructing the mass of their fellow-country men on the subject of their privileges. It was his belief that many were not aware what that association, as a body of Reformers, sought for, and that many were alarmed in consequence of what had recently taken place on the Con tinent. He therefore concurred with his Hon. Friend Sir J. Walmsley in thinking that the National Association should have a series of monthly meetings of the kind now held, for the purpose of giving accurate informa tion to the public, and showing them that the only mode of avoiding such occurrences as had taken place on the Continent, was by adopting the principles which the National Society maintained.—(Hear, hear.) In con tending for the objects which they had in view, he did not go about the bush, as some of his friends were doing, endeavouring to get,influence by this means and by that—(Hear, hear)—theugh, no doubt, he was quite ready and willing to make use of every method that was calculated to advance their great object. He was for taking a straightforward course; be was for stating boldly and distinctly what be wanted, and calling upon those who had a monopoly of political power to give up their monopoly and extend to all the people their jual. rights. His principle was, that every man who conui buted to the support of the Government was entitled to a voice in the eltction of a representative; and he believed that all the reforms which AD contended for could he obtained under our present constitution of Queen, Lords, and Commons—a system of govern ment with which he was petf<ctly satisfied. The Hon. Gentleman then quoted passages from liluckstone and other authOrities in favour of the ducatine that taxation and representation ought to go together. Without a thorough control on the part of the pPople, it was altogether impossible to check those abuses in Par liament of which they were perpetually complaining. If the people had possessed their full rights it would have been impossible, for instance, to carry out such a job as that perpetrated last session, when 12,0001. a year was given to the Duke of CamLridge, a young man who had done nothing whatever to merit such bounty. He had had the curiosity to consult an actuary as to the value of this annual allowance paid to the Duke of Cambridge, and was informed that, if brought into the market, it would realizs 223,0001.—(Hear, hear)—so that a burden to that extent had actually been laid upon the people of this country.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of every person who contributed to the burdens of the State having a vote, not more than ono in six possessed that right. One reason given for withholding the franchise was, that the people did not come forward to demand it. Now, it was no doubt true that the people were at present well employed, and receiving good wages, and did not take up this question with the energy which they ought to exhibit. This, however, was the very time to do justice, and if it was not now done, the period would arrive when that justice would be ex torted by threats.--(Cheers.) The franchise was not only confined to a small portion of the people, but it also operated most unequally, as was shown by a va riety of facts bearing upon the representation in the " National Reform Almanack." The true way to get rid of improper taxation was thoroughly to reform the House of Commons. At present, as much agitation was spent in opposing a particular tax, such as the window-tax, as would, it properly directed, enable them to get rid of the anomalous state of the House of Commons altogether, and give the people the full direction of their own affairs.—(Hear, hear.) Tho Honourable Gentleman then went into a variety of financial statements to show the excessive bur dens under which the country labours, and, after advocating vote by ballot, short Parliaments, &c., strongly urged the necessity of an enlarged sys tem of education for the entire people. With regard to the Freehold Land Association, he hailed the movement as one that was likely to secure for the reform cause as many votes as would enable them to wrest their rights from the aristocracy; but then it would be a period of perhaps twenty years before this could be effected,while he maintained that they ought not to endure the present system for one day.—(Hear, hear.) [Here a bunch of five white flowers (artificial, as they appeared to us) was sent upon the platform by an unknown friend of the cause, with a request that it should be presented to Mr. Hume as a mark of respect, each of the flowers repre senting a point in the Charter. Mr. Hume, in accepting the gift, remarked that the flowers were white, an em blem, he presumed, of the purity of their motives—a re mark which the audience received with loud cheers.] Sir J. DUKE, M.P., after a few observations, moved the following resolution:— " That this meeting also offers its sincere and grateful thanks to Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P., for his valuable and long-continued advocacy of Parliamentary and financial reform; for the great benefits which he has conferred on the people at large, by his vigilant attention to their interests; and, more especially, for the address, replete with knowledge, instruction, and advice, which he has this evening been pleased to deliver." Mr. H. KENNEDY seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. HOUGHTON, a tenant-farmer, who it was intimated had just subscribed 101. to the association, moved the next resolution, and contended that it was impossible for the farmers to grow cheap corn under the heavy texs tion which now pressed them down. The resolution was as follows: — That thi assembly desires to express its implicit confidence in s the President and Council o f the National and Financial Reform Association, whose principles and objects they determine to support." Mr. SLACK seconded the resolution, which was al so unanimously carried. Mr. LA BLONDE said , they had held 200 meetings last g tt small.ha t the lie amount hoped t the year, and the expens es had been met by the funds of the association; but be begged p t t os l t ; e the subscriptions was coutemib Mies would givo them all the support in th e i r power. for if they suc ceeded in the objects they had i n v i ew t h ey wou ld get their tea and sugar and every other necessary of life much cheaper than at present. At intervals during the proceedings the glee party fa voured the meeting with music set to words suited to the objects of the association, and the party separated a tittle before 10 o'clock.

A wardmote, in virtue of a precept issued by the Lord Mayor, was held yesterday at the Bay Tree Tavern, St. Sw•ithin's-lane, for the purpose of electing an Alderman for the ward of Walbrook, in the room of Mr. Michael Gibbs, who last week resigned hie gown. The Lord Mayor, accompanied by Aldermen Farncomb and Magnay, the City authorities, and a large number of the electors, entered the room exactly at eleven o'clock; imme diately after which the " Ward Clerk read the precept by which the wardmote had been convened. Mr. Deputy WATKINS proposed David Williams Wire, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the ward of Walbrook as alderman.—(Cheers.) Mr. TRAVERS seconded the nomination. Mr. ROCK said that he and his friends would support the resolution. No other candidate having been proposed, the resolution Was put,' and carried unanimously ; whereupon the Lord Mayor declared that David Williams Wire Esq., had been duly elected as alderman for the w ar d of Walbrook.— (Cheers.) . . Atter having received the congratulations of his friends, Mr. Alderman WIRE said, that it was impossible for him adequately to return thanks for the honour which they had just conferred upon him ; and therefore he would simply content himself with saying, that he felt his heart full of gratitude to the electors, and he hoped to show on a future occasion that he was worthy of their confidence. seventeen years ago he had been elected a common coun cilman for that ward; and during that period there had never been an interregnum of their confidence. Even when he was absent, theystill continued their confidence, and which they had preserved to the present day. They had now again proved how much they esteemed him. Therefore he begged to thank them from his heart; and he hoped that Providence would give him strength and wisdom to discharge the duties that were freshly imposed upon him in such a manner as would reticct credit upon himself, and honour upon the City and upon the country.— (Cheers.) He knew it had been.the fashion to decry cor porate institutions in this country; and that they had been considered to be, not, as they ought to be, as the centres of light and information, but as means whereby the people were kept in darkness.—(Cries of" No, no.") He could, how ever, say, that he believed the public were beginning to re turn back to the ancient principles of the British constitu tion. He believed the day was coming when these principles would take more hold of the public mind; because he felt satisfied that in these local institutions alone the true princi ples of liberty were to be found. They had only to look to the nations of the Continent to be convinced what would follow when any tyrant might strive to rule over them. But when local government was rooted deeply in the minds of the people, then would their public liberties be the best preserved and maintained. He would detain them no longer than to say that he hoped his future conduct would demonstrate, not only his own gratitude, but that the electors had made a choice which reflected honour upon them.— (Cheers. ) sir. Deputy WATKINS then moved that the!sircere and cordial thanks of the wardmote be presented to Michael Gibbs, Esq., late alderman of the ward, for the unremitting attention paid by him in the discharge of the various respon sible and difficult duties involved in the office of alderman ; for his zeal, impartiality, and punctuality as a magistrate of that city, and for the dignified courtesy with which he filled ssuccessively the ancient and honourable office of Sheriff and Lord Mayor; and the wardmote cannot separate without heartily wishing to him, in his retirement from public life, health and strength and comfort during the residue of his days. Mr. CONDER, in the warmest terms, seconded the resold,. tion, which was then carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman WIRE moved that the above resolution be fairly transcribed, signed by the ward clerk, and presented by the common councilmen to Michael Gibbs, Esq. The resolution was seconded by Mr. F. HALE, and adopted unanimously. Mr. Alderman WiaL then moved that the thanks of the wardmote be presented to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor for the ability and impartiality with which he had presided over the wardmote, and for the courtesy evinced by him in the discharge of his official duties. Mr. DAwsos seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. '1 he Loaa MAyon, in response, said be begged iu a few words to assure the wardmote that the acknowledgment of his services was the greatest reward that they could offer him. Ile felt deeply grateful to the meeting for the vote of thanks which they had been pleased so kindly to pass. The wardmote was then dissolved.

PROMOTION. Lieut. Fred. Lamport Barnard (1840), first of the Prince Regent, 90, at Lisbon, has been promoted to the rank of com mander. This officer is a son of Captain Barnard, and, we believe, has been ssrving afloat ever since he entered the navy, in June, 1827. He passed his examination in 1831, and served six years as mate before he was promoted. As a lieutenant he has served successively in the Excellent, gun nery-ship; Cleopatra, 26, at the Cape; Thunderbolt, steam sloop. West Indies; Cleopatra again, and Prince Regent, since February, 1848. APPOINT3I INTS. Commander Graham Ogle (1846), to study steam at the factory at Woolwich. Lieut. Louis R. Reynolds (1846), fifth lieutenant of the Queen, flag-ship in the Mediterranean, and appointed to the acting command of the Medina, steam-packet, vice Darby invalided, has been confirmed by; the Admiralty in his ap pointment as lieut.-commander of that rank. Lieutenant Frederick A. Egerton (1841), second of the Prince Regent, has been appointed flag-lieutenant to Commo dore Martin, Commander-in-Chief of the western squadron. Master W. H. Williams (a 1843), to the Coast Guard service. Arrogant, 46, steam auxiliary screw-frigate, Captain R. S. Robinson, having been thoroughly completed, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth, on Tuesday evening, and taken alongside her hulk to receive her crew. She has been fresh painted, and looks what she actually is—one of the finest vessels afloat. She sails well, steams fast, is a capital sea boat, and stows her crew, provisions, and water admirably, and is one of the most handsome and noble-looking frigates in the service; with her funnel down, no one would suppose she had steam power on board. There are now three large class three-deckers building at Portsmouth yard, of a com bined design, but still untried. Probably these may be good vessels; but if Mr. Fi. cham, who is no experimentalist, but a practical though scientific man, were allowed to build a three-decker, we are confident that he would turn out a good ship. The Arrogant will be at Spithead on Thursday or Friday, ready for sea. Argus steam-sloop, that has recently returned to Ports mouth from the River, with her engines by Mr. Penn , was taken into the angle dock (vacated by the Arrogant) to be coppered and otherwise brought forward as an advanced steamer, probably to be commissioned. Hamoaze lighter, Wood, master, arrived at Devonport on Tuesday afternoon from Queenstown, where she has been employed repairing the moorings of the Ajax. Powerful, 84, Captain the lion. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., ar rived at Gibraltar Jan. 24, thirteen days from Malta, on her way to Spithead to be paid off. Lady Kennaway convict-ship, having completed her crew. sailed on Tuesday evening from Spithead, for Van Diemen's Land. PIAMOUTM, WEDNESIDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate Cal liope, 26, was towed yesterday afternoon from Hamoaze into the Sound. The unfortunate accident which occurred on board her on Monday afternoon, on the first attempt to tow her, took place just after she was in tow, and when they were about to round a transporting buoy off Cremhill. It then became necessary to pay off from the warp round the capstan, leaving the second warp fixed; and, it is stated, that while doing so one of the men at the capstan fell, and, this throwing the others into confusion, the force of the steam-tug overpowered them, and the accident took place as before described. So great was the projectile force of the revolving capstan, that one of the bars struck the mizenmast a considerable height from the deck. The present condition of the wounded at the Royal Naval Hospital is as follows : Captain Sir J. Everard Home—Severe wound in the head. Going on favourably, and will probably be able to resume active command of the Calliope in about fourteen days. Mr. Nettleton, Assistant-Surgeon—Amputation below the knee in the Royal Naval Hospital, on Monday afternoon, February 3, at four o'clock, by Dr. Rae. A very severe case. Present condition favourable. Knowland, Quartermaster—Fracture of cranium. Most dangerous condition, and not likely to recover. John Oxford, Marine—Contused face. Recovering. M. Jenkins, A. 8., contused leg, and James Dominy, con tused thigh, are likely to do well. THE WESTERN SQUADRON. Commodore W. F. Martin received the intelligence of his promotion at Lisbon, by the new Royal Mail Steam-packet Teviot, on her way to the Brazils on the 16th ult., and on the 24th the red pendant was hoisted on board the Prince Regent, 90, with the usual salute from the next senior officer's ship, the Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot. On Thurs day, the 30th ult., the commodore shifted his pendant to the Leander, 10, Captain Dacres, and the Prince Regent having distributed her provisions and stores to the ships of the squadrons, was towed out of the Tagus on the 30th by the Encounter, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, on her way to Portsmouth to be paid off and re-commissioned. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-packet Jupiter, which, in bad weather, 110 miles off Coruuna hav ing broke her sta rboard p addle-shaft, arrived at Lisbon. Iler skilful engineer repaired the broken shaft himself at Corunna, and elicited, by his good and able work, the greatest credit from the engineers of the Royal squadron. _ _ _ HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The decrease in the deaths of London, which was an nounced in the la st return, has been followed by an increase to the same extent, and the rate of mortality is again equal to that which prevailed during the first two weeks of January. The deaths, which in the pre vious week were 956, have risen to 1,041—a number which nearly coincides with the average (namely, 1,089) as derived from the returns of till corresponding weeks in 1841-50; but they are less by 114 than this average, if it be corrected on the as rumption that population has increased at the same rate as it did between the census of 1831 and 1641. The following statement of mortality at several periods of life shows that the increase now observed on the preceding week, though considerable, is entirely confined tio persons of mature years, the numbers of the young, BIRTHS IN THE WEEK.

At Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, Mr. Wm. Day, a feeble old man, in the 85th year of his age, and who has been for upwards of half a century a poulterer in Leadenhall market, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, and charged on suspicion with having caused the death of his wife, a fe male 63 years of age. From the evidence of Sergeant Kearney, 26 P, and other witnesses, it appeared the prisoner and his wife had lived apart for nearly twenty years, and that the litter, who was a person of extremely eccentric habits, occupied the house No. 1, Little South-street, Camberwell, and supported herself by a small income and a weekly allowance from her husband. It had been her custom for some years past to call upon her husband at the market every Saturday evening to receive her allowance, but not calling on Saturday last her husband proceeded to her house on Sunday to learn the cause, and knocked several times, but could not obtain admittance. On Monday evening he called a second time, and knocked for admittance, but without success, and he then mentioned to some neighbours his suspicion that his wife was dead, as she had latterly been complaining of illness. The door was, in consequence, forced open, and the place was found in great confusion, but no trace could be discovered of the deceased. On Tuesday evening a more minute search was made, when the body of the deceased was discovered crouched up in a small mass behind some rabbit-hutches, a place into which it was the opinion of the police and all who saw it, she could not have got herself. On the removal and examination of the body, several marks of violence were found upon it ; the neck was discovered to be broken, and one of the stockings was on. Mrs. Burlington, who lived next door to the deceased, said she saw the prisoner at the residence of the deceased on Tuesday week, and on the following days—namely, Wed nesday and Thursday, she saw the deceased at her window. On Sunday last the witness again saw the prisoner at the house of the deceased, and observed that he had knocked se veral times. She told him that it was her opinion that Mrs. Day was out, and he then left. On the Monday afternoon the prisoner came again, and having knOcked at the door and receiving no answer, he expressed it to be his opinion that his wife was dead. On Friday night last witness heard o'clock, and soon after the noise increased so, that the wit nessbeen moni s " v t er a strange noise in the house of the deceased at about eleven was very much alarmed, and fancied for two that it was in her own bed-room.
