The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal of premium. Ity granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany aro enabled to Issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. It will be seen that, by a single payment of Five Shillings, any Railway Traveller may be assured in the sum of lOW. for the re mainder of his life. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom. The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following terms, viz.:— For every Policy of 100/ ..... 01. ss. /0 5001 ..... 1/. ss. 00 PP rr p 21. 2s. PP ft 1 ,0001. 2,0001. . . . . 4/. 4s.

It will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of inci pient decay, render the gums firm and red, and thus fix the teeth firmly in their sockets ; and from its aromatic influence impart sweetness and purity to the breath.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Pict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office flr 3 —Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. Tho 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 I 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 proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted.;n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Oface will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, 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 flay 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.

WOOLWICH, FEB. 2 0.—Lieutenant James Hosken (1828) hoisted his pendant yesterday in the Banshee mail steam-packet, commissioned for service on the Me diterranean station. All her engineers have been ap pointed, and the requisite number of stokers have been supplied from the Fisgard. The Banshee went down the river to-day to try the working of her engines, by John Penn and Son, and although she has only two boilers now to make room! for stowing a greater quan tity of coals, instead of tour boilers, the number she had formerly, she made a speed of over 13 knots per hour. One of the side rods was broken during the trial, but it was removed in a quarter of an hour, and each cylinder being fitted with two sides perfectly independent of each other, as is invariably the practice of Mr. Penn in large oscillating engines, she started again with no perceptible diff,rence in the working of the engines. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle visited Woolwich Dock yard to-day. His son, Commander Graham Ogle (1846) is at present studying steam at the Factory at Woolwich Dockyard. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, FEL 20. The United States' Mail steam-ship Franklin, Captain J. A. Wootton, arrived off Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and after transferring the mails for England to a small steamer, proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Franklin sailed from New York at 3 P.M. on the Bth inst., and her voyage has occupied 12 days, less five hours, the difference in longitude. She has 47 passen gers, four only of whom l a nd e d a t sontbnipton Mitt* freight 40 packages specie, value 300;006 dolls., 500 bales cotton, and sundry cargo—all for Havre. By this steamer we have accounts from the United States of three days later date than received by the United States' mail steamer Pacific. The steam-ship Empire City arrived at New York on the 7th inst. with the California mails, 750,000 dolls. in gold dust on freight, and 300,000 dolls. in the hands of passengers. We have a fortnight's later news from California by the Franklin—the dates from San Francisco are to the 31st of December. The accounts from California are not so encouraging as formerly. The mines were yielding less than during the past season, but preparations were being made to work the quartz mines during the coming spring and summer with great energy, by the aid of machinery and steam. The Indians in the Mariposa country had com menced depredations, but efforts were being made to con ciliate them. Crime was prevalent in San Francisco and throughout the country, and it was supposed that an or ganized band existed, composed of convicts and reckless adventurers, whose sole business was plunder. The cho lera had entirely disappeared, and the health of the city was generally good. The general news is of little in terest. The Legislature was to meet on the 6th of January at San Jost, but an effort would probably be made to remove the seat of Government to San Fran cisco. The operations of the Government it was thought would be considerably embarrassed for want of funds, and a loan was unavoidable unless Congress afforded some relief. The Alta California announces the arrival at San Francisco of a portion of Captain French's company ; they had suffered terribly. The Pacific News of January 1, in a long article on the state and prospects of California, gives the official list of shipments of gold-dust in 1850, ending December 31. The aggregate amount is 29,441,583 dolls., or nearly 6,000,000/. sterling; the largest amount was shipped in the month of August, when the exports amounted to 5,282,880 dolls. Besides this it is estimated that 12,000,000 dolls, have gone forward in private hands, and 6,000,000 dolls. have been retained for cir culation, making the total yield of the mines for 1850 48,000,000 dolls., or between 9,000 0004 and 10,000,000/. sterling. The San Francisco Herald gives the particulars of damage done to shipping during severe gales on the 15th and 16th of December. Respecting the Indian hostilities, the Stockton Journal states that the Indians are in open warfare with the whites. The California Courier announces the loss of the British ship Mersey in the Bay of San Francisco. The following letter from San Francisco, dated the 31st of December, in the New York Courier and Enquirer, embraces the principal items of intelligence : "I am sorry I have no better n ews t o o ff er you thi s New Year's Eve, and no further accounts to render than the extremely discouraging news which the enclosed postscript affords. Even these quotations, low as they may seem, are for most articles, from 25c. to 50c. above what the goods will bring if sales are forced. The prices named are nominal nearly, as there is positively no demand for goods of any description, unless it be the single article of teas, for which large orders have already been forwarded to China. " The rainy season having set in, prices have suddenly and rapidly declined, and the supply is far larger than can be taken up in the course of trade for a long, long while. " Comparatively few vessels from the States have ar rived since my last, and I hope that shipments have for the present ceased from your port. " Goods are daily sold by our commission merchants for freight and charges, which often exceed the value of the goods themselves. I know of many parcels which have been received for more than a year, the final result of which must be very disastrous to the shipper. When freight and storage equal the value of the goods, they are sold, the only gainers being the owners of favourite warehouses. Add to this the great risk of total loss by fire and you will see the danger of dealing with so un certain a market. " Shippers not in the regular trade meet constant losses, as their goods are usually forced off at auction for what they will bring. " .Accounts from Sacramento city and Stockton show even a duller market than our own, and ac counts from Oregon offer no greater inducements to shippers." Our advices from Washington are to the 7th inst. In the Senate the California Land Title Bill was ordered to be engrossed. In the House of Representatives the pro position to establish a branch mint in New York was negatived. General Cass had been re-elected to the Senate by the Legislature of Michigan. In the House of Representatives Mr. Gilbert gave notice of a Bill to establish a branch mint in California. The Naval Com mittee of the Senate had put sheir veto upon the ex tension of any new steam lines of communication across the Atlantic, under the patronage of Government, for the present session, by a formal vote, assuming that in the few remaining weeks of the session there is not sufficient time to examine the projects which have been presented, and that the application for increased compensation from the proprietors of Collins's line (between New York and Liverpool) demands an inquiry into the whole system, and forbids any additional en gagements until it is thoroughly understood. There was a favourable disposition on the part of the committee towards the establishment of a line of steamers betweea San Francisco and Shanghai, upon the basis of the re commendation of the Secretary of the Navy. From the Isthmus of Panama we have dates to the 27th of December. G•,rgona was partly destroyed by fire on the 25th ult., SO houses being burnt. Loss not ascertained. The royal mail steamer Medway sailed for Southampton, Carthagena and St. Thomas's, on the 25th of December. Jenny Lind and suite arrived at New Orleans, from Havannab, on tho . 7th inst. The telegraphic reports state that the city was wild with excitement. General Quitman had arrived at New Orleans in cus tody of a United States' marshal to stand his trial on the charge of being connected with the Cuban invasion. We have dates from Rio de Janeiro to the 21st of De cember. The political news is without interest, and mentions nothing relative to the expected war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. At the latest dates a kind of epidemic, having all the appearance of fever, was raging in the city of Camps. The war steamer Affonso ar rived at Rio on the 13th of December, with the 4th bat talion of Artillery and 400 soldiers. Accounts from Kingston, Jamaica, state that cholera was fast disappearing from the colony, and the only parish now afflicted to any extent is Lucia. A serious riot had occurred in the parish of St. David during an election for a Member of the House of Assembly. A hired band of ruffians was in attendance, and a fearful riot ensued. The Court-house was almost entirely de molished, the police and other persons cut and wounded, some of whom would not survive. Mr. M'Lean, the co roner of the parish, was killed, and the sheriff, Mr. Lyons, obliged to fly for his life. A detachment of troops had been sent to the district, and some of the ringleaders arrested on a charge of wilful murder. We are in possession of accounts from the Sandwich Islands and files of the Polynesian to the 14th of Dec., but they contain no news. The French corvette Se rieuse, 30, arrived on the 13th of December from San Francisco, having on board M. Perrin, the new French Consul-General. The latest advises from Oregon extend to the 20th of December, received by the Goldhunter at San Francisco. The territory continued prosperous. The Oregon Spectatercontains the niessageof Governor Gaines to the Legislature. It advocates a liberal policy on the part of the General Government in the donation of lands to actual settlers, urges the immediate construc tion of roads, and advocates a liberal system of educa tion. COMMERCI A T., INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 7.—The stock market rallied a little to-day; it was one of those re actions usually attending a too-rapid decline. CITY TRADE REPORT, FEB. 7.—Ashes—Rather more activity prevailed in the market for this article since our last, without special change in value. Beeswax has been quite 'lull during the past week. Breadstuffs—Flour— We observed more firmness in the market for Western and State to-day, though prices remained without quotable change. A better inquiry prevailed for city use, and there was a moderate busi ness done in. Western for export. Hoidors of State evinced less inclination to realise, and the low grades were, if anything, better. Ohio fl,)ur, with light re ceipts and a good demind, was held firmly at our quo tations. Coffee—The market was steady but quiet, with sales of 100 bop Rio, at Cotton —The sales to-day have rather exceeded 1,800 bales, and at prices about k per cent. better than cur rently accepted during the panic of yesterday. The change ('f sentiment is owing, as we believe, to the fact that the intelligent cotton merchants of this city were electrified this morning by a proclamation from a very extensive and shrewd cotton office, defining the precise causes of the decline at Livervol, which, it not very clear to the merchants of that city at the period of making up their correspondence for the steamer Canada, is at least so to the writer, who is devoid of any personal feeling in the matter. We do not think that it was the intention of the writer to avail himself of the convenient opportunity to bear the market here and at the south; but, if such was his intention, it has signally failed, at this point at least. The line of prices to-day was 12ic. to 124 c. for midland upland; and 134 c to inc. for fair. Holders for the best description of Gulf 's declined offer ing at proportionate rates. Provisions—Pork—Since our last there has been but little variation in the market for old Ohio pork, while the demand was fair. TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS. NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 6.—Cotton has suffered a de cline of Vic. since the receipt of the Canada's advices. FEB. 7.—The sales of cotton have been 4,000 bales at he. decline since the Canada's news. Flour has declined 1,000 brls. Ohio ;sold :at 4 dolls. Ioe., and St. Louis at 4 dolls. 25c. Bacon sides are at 7c., and shoulders Gie. Prime barrelled lard sells at 74c. to Sc., and kegs at 83. e. Sugar, molasses, and pork are unchanged. NORFoLIC, FEB. 6.—Corn is advancing, and sales of yellow and white have been made at 63c. to 64c. Our market generally is active, but cotton is dull.

SPORTING NOTES. No. XI. LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING. GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE, &c. &c. "The Chase! the Chase! the Steeplechase! The rasping leap and the rattling pace; The rider brave and the gallant steed, Whose lava-veins display his breed ; The flashing eye and the hoof of light, That far outstrips the tempest's flight; The start, the struggle, and the goal, Where victory winds up the whole. Oh ! ne'er on turf or stream a race Can beat the manly Steeplechase." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—My analytical powers will net be brought into play to day on the appointed subject, the Newmarket Handicap, the dissection of which must stand adjourned to Monday next, but on the principal events of the Liverpool Spring Meeting, announced for Wednesday, the 20th, whose claims put forth a prior right to an immediate and careful considera tion at my hands, which they shall most assuredly have. The Liverpool Grand National is to steeplechases what the Derby is to flat-races, the most important stake in the annual turn of this sublunary ball; it took its station as the most important race of the kind almost from the commencement of steeplechasing, some twenty years ago, and generally attracts a very large field to the post; other steeplechases, among whom may be classed those of Worcester, Newport Pagnel, and St. Albans, have risen and since fallen away from their great estate, but Liverpool stands firm as a rock, and bids fair so to do for years to come. In 1a49 the number of entries amounted to 67, thirty-eight of whom accepted; in 1850 they numbered 70, and forty-four cried content; this year the nominations show a slight falling of, being 63, thirty-one of whom (within two of a moiety) are contented with their burdens, a sort of impost receiving much more general support than Sir Charles Wood's house-tax substi tute for the duty on the light of heaven. As I before re marked, the fields in proportion to the acceptances are always very large; in 1849 twenty-four went to the post, in 1850 the great number of thirty-two mustered to contest the stake, and this year, so far as I can judge at the present writing, the field will range between a score and two dozen, among whom the following will be found :—Sir John, Vain Hope, Sir Peter Laurie, Peter Simple, Fugitive, Farnham, Ratt r ap, H a lf- an d-H a lf , Shi nrone , Young , Un, Maria Day, Abd-el-Kader, Tipperary Boy, Mulligan, Rescue, Currig, Sam Hood, Maurice Daley, Penrith, and Volatile or Venice. I will now attempt to deduce conclusions from past performances, and present condition, commencing with the top-weight. Lord Waterford's b g, Sir John, by Windfall, aged, 1 Ist 121 b, stands at the top of the scale, with a steady ing weight on his back; in 1549, September 25, at Cashel, he woo the Rock Stakes, beating Wedge, Fugleman, and The Hermit in a common canter; November 21st, carrying list 11b, he won the Liverpool Autumn Steeplechase, beat • ing Vain Hope, lOst 61b, The Victim, I Ist 71b. and fourteen others; in 1850, list 81b, he ran a good third to Abd-el- Kader, 9st 121 b, for the Liverpool Steeplechase, beating Peter Simple, 12st, 21b—Rattrap, list 71b—Farnham, I Ist 31b —Victim, list 21b—Mulligan, lOst 101b—Maria Day, 10st 51b—Shinrone, lOst 5 1b—Tipperary Boy, lOst, and twenty one others; April 2, at Tipperary, was beaten by Archy and several others, having fallen early in the race; April 9th, beat Archy and five others for the Limerick Stakes; and at Cashel, September 25th, for the second time, won the Rock Stakes easily by five lengths, carrying 12st 131 b, beating Currig, llst 61b, and another. These performances, all at welting weights, mark Sir John out as a very dangerous horse to be against for the ensuing steeplechase; he will be ridden, I believe, by Ryan, and I have but little doubt will be near the front at the finish, although, in my opinion, not the first. Mr. Vevers' Vain Hope by Safeguard, 6 yrs. list 81b, has held a prominent position in the betting throughout, and was yesterday backed for several hundreds at prices varying from 100 to 6 to 10 to I, but, though others place unlimited con fidence in him, I think be is over-weighted, and have no he sitation in declaring his winning to be the vainest of vain Iwpes; his running has, however, been highly respectable; in 1849, November 2, he won the Worcestershire Handicap, carrying Bst 101 b, beating the Young-Un, lOst, and eight others very cleverly; November 14th, 9st 1016, won the Aylesbury Handicap by half a length, beating. among others, Maria Day, lOst 51b (third), The Young•tin, lOst 21b, and Tipperary Boy, lOst 71b ; ran second, carrying lOst 61b. to Sir John, for the Liverpool Autumn Steeplechase; December 4th, lOst 51b, first favourite for the Leamington Open Steeplechase, was no-where to the Knight of Gwynne, list Ilb (first), and Abd-el-fader, 9st 101 b (second); Dec. 12th, lOst 91b, ran Maria Day, 10st, to a neck for the Metropolitan Steeplechase. In 1850, Dec. 4th, I Ist 21b, was beaten off for the " Worcestershire Grand Annual," won by Miss Collingwood, lOst 41b; Tipperary Boy, lOst, (a good second); he comes out, however, on the 13th, and wins the Wolverhampton Steeplechase easily, carrying lOst 131 b, beating The Victim, list lib, Peter Simple, list 31b, Maurice Daley, 9st 131 b; and two others. He has not, as yet, run this year; he will be ridden by Archer, I presume. Mir. Barnett's br h Sir Peter Laurie, aged, list 71b, an much fancied by the touting tribe, with 10st 6lb up, ran no where to Vengeance, 9st 61b, for the Coventry Craven Steeplechase last year ; lOst 21b, w o n t h e Leamingtonst; Grand Annual," March 22d, beating P e t e r Simple, e • Abd-el-Kader, lOst 121 b; and Tipperary Bo y , lengths, besides some thirteen others.

December 6tb, list hir.:llCb,uwnnoningthhainsesstbeegplePcehtsesre Simplein by Patron, aged, 12st 41b, was not place d for the Leamington Open Handi cap ; in 1850, 12st 21b, was beaten early in the rac e f or the Liverpool Grand N I H at a io n n d a ie l,: p, a o s n b i‘ e la w r a e s h with22l; he l won the 2stup for Leamington AnDlla West of Scotland Open Steeplechase cleverly, beating Isaac and half a dozen others; Dec. 13th, list 31b, was out of the race for the Wolverhampton Handic a p, won b y V a i n H ope, lOst 131 b; and at Lincoln, February 6th, of this present year o f grace, lOst 101 b, w as t hi r d to Lucy Neal, 10at I.lb, when he might have been, had his jockey so chosen it, first in the commonest of canters. The foregoing are his latest performances; with t h e exception of the first and last, they are not much in his favour, but, he is a good horse, sound, and iu first-rate trim, will take a good. deal of beating, yet I cannot fancy he will win; he will be ridden by his owner. Mr. Storey'a b g The Victim, by Drayton, aged, lOst 131 b, I am inclined to eschew in favour of 'the Tuung-un, agid. 103 t 71b, w .0 has shown that he can run o , cusionally, espe cially in his spin for the WorceAershire Aanual last De cember, when he cut out the -,7ork for his stable companion, who could not accomplish the winning feat that day, conse • quendy tbiowing the Young. un's chance away, _and doubly victimising the backers of the . stable.

They came home in the B en tinck, Oriental Company's steamer, which called at Sierra Leone in the early part of last month to coal, and reached Southampt on yes terday. The Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Com mander George Allen, went round to South ampton th i s morning, and b roug ht them to this port. The com mander and the whole of the officers and crew are in a vary sickly state from coast fever, and the majority will doubtlessly hare to go into hospital previous to the court-martial being held. We 11e..q - that the man who had charge of the lead at the time of the Flamer's striking, and by whose negligence the disaster was chiefly caused, has died. The Birkenhead iron steam sloop, Master -Commander Salmond. sailed from Spit head last night for Plymouth and Cork, to convey from the latter place troops to Gibraltar.

Maurice Daley, 103 t. Magee may have the mount, but this is dubious. Mr. Townley's nomination Medora, aged, lOst 121 b, is, I think, held safe by Mr. Mangan's Farnham, by Ratcatcher, 6 yrs, iOst 121 b, who ran fifth, carrying li st 31b, to Abd-el- Kader, 9st 121 b, for the." Liverpool National" last year; afterwards fourth to Vengeance, 9st 61b, with lOst 111 b up, for the Covent r y C raven Handicap; and shut up shop for the season by w i nn i ng t h e Cheltenham ,Grand Annual (10st 101 b), beati ng among others Abd - el-Kader, lOst flub; ictim, 103 t I 21b ; and Vengeance, 10st, all in stalled off. Such are F arn h am ' s deeds, they warrant a trifling invest ment I imagine, f er, i f he comes to the post good form, hi s chance is as good as t h e b est of them. Abbott is to be the pilot. Mr. T. F. Mason's eh h Rattrap, by Ratcatcher, aged, lOst 101 b, after having been pretty well knocked about in that line, said to be originated by Hume of the Bogue (in the vernacular, humbug), will, thi s t i me, ' tis said, be sent past the post rst, if it can possibly be acomplished, which,l think, is not at all unlikely. Mr. Oake's Half-and-Half, lOst 81b; Mr. King's Shin rone, lOst 71b; and Mr. Benson's Little Queen, lOst 71b, are booked by one or two of those favourably commented on above. Mr. Higgins' br m Maria Day, aged lOst 51b, is at their respective weights pretty nearly on a par with Fugitive, ac cording to previous running; her chance is very good, she is sure to run up ; out of six races she has only missed obtain.. ing a place twice; her best performances were, winning the Metropolitan Steeplechase, Dec. 12, 1849 (10st), beating Vain Hope, 10st 91b, and seven others, and running an out and-out second to Fugitive, at Epsom, at the same weight, to Fugitive's lOst Bit:. Frisby or Rackley will have the mount. Mr..osborne's b g Abd-el-Bader, by Ishmael, out of Eng lish Lass, aged, lOst 41b, won this stake last year at 9st 121 b, and will be very handy for it again this year, but, as to ab solutely winning it, on this head I have some grave doubts, especially when I remember that his last. victory at. Liver pool is the only " deed of note" that he has accomplished 'worth recording during the last twelve months; ;however, it liitardolla,tha v adersei rytngr‘to-Staria - tele e, shot at" by him, for his victory last l y ear, memory tells m - wits .*ppplisbed in the shortest time on record. He will pro biDly-have the same jock up as last year, viz ) Mr- Gfeerr- Mr.Tollitt's Tipperary Boy, aged,that 31b, and Mr. Elmore's Mulligan, aged, lOst 21b, bold the chances of all the light weights tolerably safe, with the exception of Venice, 6 yrs, ast 71b (whom I know nothing about, consequently .cannot give an opinion), and Maurice Daley, aged, 9st 61b, who are fancied by small parties, but not by me. C urr i g and Sam Hood, at 9st 121 b e ac h, and Volatile, 9st 101 b, are the only others who merit noticing, and I can say but little in their favour. They run, however, and in the chapter of accidents, with such light-weights on their backs, might win, but this is very problematical. In conclusion, I opine, the first-flight at the finish may consist of Sir John, ugitive, Farnham, Rattrap, Maria Day, Abd-el-Bader, and Tipperary Boy, and were the veil of futurity lifted from before my eyes, my op tical nerves might be electrified by seeing FARNHAM or FUGITIVE the winner, with Tipperary Boy and Rattrap in close attendance . My review of the Steeplechase entries has extended over such a space, that I shall conclude by merely glancing at the other events. For the Spring Cup, Doubt seems to be the crack, but I very much doubt whether he can give Unity nearly 3st, notwithstanding the early period of the season, and the length of the course (1* miles); Panope, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, looks like business, and so does Ca ur i re , 5 yrs, , at 91b; and if I were to pl ace t hem as follows, I fancy I should not be very wide of the mark, viz. : CAURIRE I UNITY ... ... 2 DOUBT ••. • • . 3 The Little Queen, 5 yrs, 10st 101 b, will monopolise the general attention for the Hurdle Race; and Cogia, Pysche, and Miss Cullingwood, will contest the second place.

TIIE WINDOW-TAX AND THE HOUSE DUTY, OR ROBBING PETER TO BENEFIT PAUL, AND PICKING THE POCKETS OF BOTH. This conjuring trick cif the Chancellor of the Ex chequer has given universal dissatisfaction here. The rent of the houses in the business part of the town range from 20/. to 501. a year—high rents for smell house s, after deducing the shop windows and ekes door (three) not chargeahle; the majority of them have not more than seven windows, and therefore lrive heretofore gone free, but the new house duty fixes on them, and they will be subject to the new tax though exempt from the old (that is if this mad scheme ever becomes the law). This alte ration favours the great, but falls heavy on the small tradesman; all are opposed to the window-tax, as nono have half air and light enough, and all would gladly let it in but for the obnoxious window-tax. The remedy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is more intolerable than the disease, bad as that is. The man who now pays 61. a year window• tax is in future to pay 41., and the man who pays now 18s. is to pay 125., and this though his house may be quite as large, better situated, more valu able, and may (if this law should ever be passed) soon have more windows in it than that for which the other is charged 4/. ! An old house with 39 windows will have to pay 10/. a year; a new one of the same size (take the rent of 1001 a year for either) 5/. a year ! Can such an unjust law be tolerated? Persona who are now paying 20/. per annum for bonus c hiving th ere noticen noto th e i assessed landlords e t to t 191. 10a., so that they may evade the tax, they shall quit. t t h h e at wit i t f do t w be -t y ax do w n il o l t be redu ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN—THREE, P.m.—Arrived the Franklin, American steam-ship, Captain Wotton, from New York; she made the passage in less than twelve days.
