EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk is Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of glees 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 is the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rano* Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ,3roached 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 Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to 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 fitly per cent. •f the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. — lnsurances against Lose by Fire are effected by this Coaspany upon every description of Property on moderate terms.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,991/. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. lls. 10i. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur 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 n b g l e r e a s in , has n talready business, isith not otthoen only sitnt Life ee Assurances,mon th s effected but ina cAonn • ou After various resolution s, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right R e a C t, h n d a m i r i e n d a i c n a , l Bishop r. l o l o f r t r h i se, eats sli ce - Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, ev er ment, the meeting sep arated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

BOW-STREET. A woman named Eliza Driscoll was charged with ob taining 2/. from Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the con tractors, under false pretences. James Dunn, the agent of the prosecutors, said that in April last the prisoner called at their railway gauge office, in Now-street, Spring -gardens, and represented herself as the widow of Dennis Mack, who was killed on the Eastern Counties Railway. She stated that she was in great w an t o f 40 s , to complete the purchase of a pony and open a green - grocery shop. Sho was told to call again, and me anw hil e w i tness wrote to the prosecutors (who wer e execut i ng some works for the railway), and subsequently recei ve d aut h ority to pay her the sum. The prisoner ca ll e d aga i n, and the money was paid to her. Ann Mack proved that she was the real widow of the deceased, and was living at Stratford. She knew the prisoner, but was not aware that her late husband had ever had anything to do with her, Evidence was given of the payment of 21. to the pri soner upon the above pretence by the cashier of the pro secutors. The woman affected to be ignorant of the whole trans ac tion w hen app re h ended, but she was iden tified by the witnesses on being taken by the constable to the Crystal Palace. The prisoner denied that she was the woman who had received the money, and. declared th at she had never seen the prosecutors or their agents before. Mr. HENRY committed her for trial, CLERKEN WELL. Frederick Curtis, a smart-looking young man, was brought bef ore M r . C om be on a warrant, in th e cus t o dy of A r S o h e r d g e e a ti o n o o t Smith, ale; o o f f e t the h e a r t d e e r te o c o t isvoe force, cha rge d by . squar e , w i t h h av i ng obtained a sit ua ti on i n his service with a false character. Mr. Hale, son of the archdeacon, attended, and com municated that his father could not attend, in conse quence of his clerical duties on Ash Wednesday. It appears that the prisoner, some months ago, en tered the service of Mr. Freshfield, solicitor to the Bank of England, when he gave a reference to a person re siding at Moreton, near Norwich; and, on a p p li cat i on being made, a hi g h c h aracte r was given of the prisoner, who was received into the service. His subsequent con duct, however, caused great suspicion; and, on inquiries being made at Moreton, it was ascertained that the per son to whom he had referred was his fath er . i n -l aw, who had surreptiti ous ly recommended him. He was pros - cuted, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Archdeacon Hale consulted with the police, and at tended at this court in company of Sergeant Smith, when a warrant was granttd for the prisoner's appre hension at the expiration of his term of imprisonment; and yesterday Sergeant Smith took him into custody on leaving the prison. In answer to a question, Mr. Hale said the prisoner got drunk while in his father's service, and was guilty of other misconduct. Sergeant Smith said that on searching the prisoner he found a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates in bis pos session, for articles of silver plate, &c., which he sus pected to have been stolen. • Mr. COMBS, after a private consultation with Mr. Hale and the clerk, committed the prisoner to the sessions. TRAMS S. Roger M'Grath, an Irish labourer, who bag been twice remanded, was brought up before Mr. Ingham, charged with cutting and wounding John O'Briant, one of his countrymen, on the night of Saturday, the 15th ult., with intent to murder or do him grievous bodily harm. 'l'he parties have been repeatedly before the Court, and their disputes have nearly terminated in murder. The prosecutor, who has been for 17 days in the London Hospital, appeared in a very deplorable condition and i❑ a weak state from loss of blood. It appeared that on the 15th of February the prose cutor was charged by the prisoner's wife with using abusive language towards her, and was fined 2s. without costs. As he was leaving the court the woman struck hina with her fist, took up a brick and threw it at his head, and inflicted a very severe wound. On the same night, about twelve o'clock, the prosecutor was coming out of his own house for the purpose of going to market to buy a piece of meat, when he was intercepted by the prisoner and his wife at the corner of Stepney-causeway. M'Grath said he wished to be friends with O'Briant and have some beer. Th© prosecutor made no objection, and they walked a few paces, when M'Grath, who had his hands i❑ his jacket-pockets, took from one of them what appeared to be a book, but which proved to be a small hand-axe or hatchet, with which he struck O'Briant a tremendous blow on the mouth, which cut his lips open loosened several teeth, and felled him to the ground As he was rising the prisoner struck him across the temple with the hatchet, and inflicted a severe wound, from which the blood flowed copiously. As he was falling the prisoner's wife struck him on the head, and cut it open. The prosecutor called out " Murder" as loud as he was able, and to stifle his cries the prisoner's wife put her shawl over his mouth, threw him down, and beat and kicked him in a most savage manner. A police-constable, 75 K, hearing the cries of murder, hastened towards the spot whence they pro ceeded, and passed the prisoner and his wife, who were running away in a contrary direction, Mrs. M'Grath saying " Hurry home, hurry home.", The policeman found O'Briant on the ground apparently dead, and bleeding profusely from several wounds on his person. He caused him to be conveyed to the London Hospital, where he has ever since remained. O'Briant's life was despaired of for several days, and he left the hospital for the first time yesterday, and presented himself in the court in a very weakly condition. The prisoner was subsequently arrested by Potter, 212 K, and on being made acquainted with the charge, he said, " that he only struck O'Briant with his fist, and that he did so be cause he was a cuckold." Potter found the hatchet with which the wounds had been inflicted, in the prisoner's room. Mr. INcalst expressed his intention of committing the prisoner for trial; but, as the surgeon who had dressed the prosecutor's wounds was not in attendance, he remanded the case till Saturday. REPEAL of the TAXES on KNOWLEDGE. Last night a public meeting was held in St. Martin's hall, Long Acre, to promote the repeal of all the taxes on knowledge, and in particular the penny stamp en newspapers. The large hall was filled to overflowing, and some interruption was caused at the commencement of the proceedings by the "pressure from without." Professor T. H. Key took the chair at half-past eight o'clock. Among the Members of Parliament present were Mr. Cobden, Mr. M. Gibson, Mr. F. O'Connor, and Mr. Stanford. The CHAIRMAN, who stated that he presided in the absence of Mr. Grote, said that he had been for thirty years an advocate for the repeal of the taxes on know ledge. He thought th e present a suitable opportunity of expressing the gratitude he felt for Mr. Rowland Hill, as a labourer in this cause, whom he regarded as one of the greatest benefactors this country ever had in procuring the penny postage for the people. We had obtained cheap food for the bodies of the people, and it now be hoved us to gain cheap food for their minds. No one could object to the diffusion of knowledge but those whose power or whose wealth was founded upon fraud; and with them be had no sympathy. What was wanted was, not only the advancement of knowledge, but the diffusion of knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) It was not enough that one class of the community should be edu cated, and the other half ignorant, becaase then the people would make only occasional advances, to be fol lowed by subsequent reaction.—(H ear .) Thi s was t h e case in Spain, where the intelligence of the towns was counteracted by the ignorance of the country. It was also the case to some extent in France, and in England too.—(Cheers.) The Minister of the Crown had ad mitted, although reluctantly, that the franchise ought to be extended. He would only be consistent if he also attended to the spread of knowledge among the class whom he proposed to enfranchise.—(Hear.) The Chair man concluded by reading a letter from Mr. Hume, M.P., whose absence, he regretted to state, was caused by indisposition. Mr. J. CASSELL said that France and America had their penny periodicals and penny newspapers, but in .England it was exceedingly difficult to maintain a penny periodical in consequence of the tax upon paper. The Messrs. Chambers' weekly tracts had a circulation of 80,000, yet they did not pay, and were obliged to be given up. They had since started a 1 id. publication, but it had not obtained half the circulation of the others, and they would be obliged to give that up also. The reduction of the taxes upon knowledge would lead to the employment of thousands of persons in the paper and printing businesses, and all classes would be benefited. The working man would have his daily paper far ld., and, instead of being obliged to go to the ale-house and pay lid. for beer in order to get a sight of the paper, he would be able to take it home to read by his own fireside.—(Hear, hear.) Where we had one newspaper at present, we should have ten, if the paper and ad vertisement duties and the stamp duty were repealed. The Government gave 100,0004 towards education; but it ought never to be forgotten that they took 1,000,0001. a year from the people by the taxes on knowledge.— (Hear, hear.) He moved " That all taxes which impede the diffusion of know ledge are highly injurious to the public interest, and are most impolitic sources of revenue, and that their retention by the Legislature is utterly inconsistent with the opinion now universally professed in favour of po pular education." Mr. E. MIALL, in seconding the resolution, congratu lated the meeting upon the auspicious time at which they were assembled. Events had reduced the Budget to a state of liquefaction, in which it was melted down to its original elements, and had to be cast in a new mould. While the Chancellor of the Exchequer was pondering, he hoped the present meeting would be able to set the stamp of its purpose upon his new Budget A gentleman upon the platform here produced a copy of the New York Tribune, a daily paper published at two cents (one penny). There were, he said, from 15 to 20 newspapers published in New York every day. Almost every village had its newspaper; and the consequence was, that the people of the United States were well edu cated and instructed.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. H. LEWES seconded the resolution. It was said, that to remove the stamp duty upon newspapers would be to make that class of literature " low." But the objection seemed to him to be founded upon that eternal " snobism" of the English character that made everything " low" that was not exclusive.—(Cheers.) They were told that a good case might be made out against every tax, but the taxes on knowledge struck at the root of all other taxes, for the removal of these taxes would so far diffuse political knowledge, and would so democratize the House of Commons, that the people would take care they were not more taxed than was necessary for the wants of the nation.—(Cheers.) Mr. COBDEN, who was received with great applause, next addressed the meeting. The part he had to take on this subject in another place would render it unne cessary that he should trouble them at any length. Ho believed that no ether tax would have called together so large an assemblage; but this was a tax on knowledge, and when they complained of the Government for con tinuing it, it was, in point of fact, laying an indictment against the Government for depriving the people of mental food.—(Cheers.) He was, and always had been, an advocate for the advancement of knowledge, and ' these three taxes were in point of fact impediments to knowledge. Of these taxes perhaps the most objection able was that of the penny stamp on newspapers. It was, in the first place, so trifling in its proceeds that it laid itself open to the supposition that it was imposed not for the sake of the amount it yielded to the revenue, but for some sinister purpose. The annual receipt from the tax was about 350,0001. Not less than from 60,000,000 to 80,000,000 newspapers passed through the Post-office every year. Now, what they proposed was, that every newspaper that went through the Post-office should have a Queen's head upon it; and that, their friend Mr. Hume would tell them, would produce as large a revenue as was derived from the present system; but, whether it did or no, the loss of a small sum on such a commodity bore no proportion to the benefit to result from the repeal. lie fully believed if we had no stamp duty, and no duty on advertisements ur paper, that we might have penny daily newspapers with large circulations. A paper had been produced called th e N ew York 7'ribune, which was published at a penny. There were others as cheap. The actual cost of producing paper in this country was as low as in New York — literary labour was as cheap—all the adjuncts were as accessible—why, then, was not the newspaper as cheap in London us there? It would be, but that the Chancel lor of the Exchequer intervened.—(Cheers.) The fact was, that this country had no daily press. The daily press only existed in Lo n don. It was scarcely known in the country, and it was n o t the exponent ot , the wants and interests of the working class.—(Cheers.) Lot them look at the "leaders" of the daily press and their politics, and compare them with the leaders of the weekly p ress , an d ho as k e d which were the better? -h (Cheers.) Why, no weekly paper could live upon the politics of th e M orn i n g Herald or the 111orninyPost.— (Laughter.) He did not wish to constitute himself a judge in these matters, but he did say that those who patronised the weekly press ought to have the opportu nity of supporting a similarly cheap daily press. At the same time let it not be supposed that he would say any thing to injure any portion of the daily press. lie Com. • PRICE SD. plained not that the daily press existed at the price of 51 , as it did.

What a curious exception the daily press was to every other article of consumption! If they wanted a dictionary, for example, they could heve l c i e o s n s s a , r . i b l y u t b ite s o* l l a less —was the magical price at which it was to be pur emmvl ro a iei aggw r y thhne i tctol n hdwn g baosetr f pti ai t pst m teeearrq a : co hsi etHiquite s:l.—neither honest,shilling eadseo wreti straightforward, hateti witty or he more ftr g ou. ruswti fasci nating, ,en e rhee a d er, ; perhaps, in style as some of the dearer publica arid direct to the purpose —and if he wanted a good and wholesome taste he should not go upward, but if he wanted a meret r i c i ous taste he ' should find' it there— (Cheers.) M on t esqu i eu had said that, though mankind was reprobate in detail, it was w i se in the gross, and he had no doubt if the medi um o f li terary and political in formation were made free to all, that the benefit must be general and universal. He looked upon the repeal of the advertisement duty as the sine qud non for a cheap press. In fact, there could not be a cheap press until those duties were repealed. They must do with the press as they had done with corn, and they should al ways find in him a Free-trader in knowledge. ;:ee .) The CHAIR MAN h ere rea d a l etter of apology from Mr. Scholefield, M.P., for non-attendance, and another from Mr. Evart, M.P. The latter Hon. Member en closed 51. towards the object of the meeting.—(Cheers.) A person named Setsw, who addressed the meeting amid considerable interruption, contended that the only way to remove the taxes on knowledge was to struggles to obtain universal suffrage. The people would have no power to obtain these or similar fiscal reductions until they were properly represented.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. Hecxsoer, who was introduced to the meeting as the late editor of the TVestminster Review, moved the second resolution as follows: " That the excise on paper, the tax on advertisements, and the stamp on newspapers, though apparently uncon nected taxes, are in reality parts of one system, which restricts the freedom of the press by hampering it with fiscal burdens." He had not anticipated meeting them to-night, but he had received that morning a communication from a friend of his now abroad, in the shape of a cheque upon Barclay and Co. for 1001. on behalf of the objects for which they were now assembled. This donation was from Mr. Ed ward Lombe, a liberal Norfolk landowner, the donor of 500/. to the National Public School Association. Mr. Lombe viewed the abolition of what he called the infa mous taxes on knowledge as an educational question.— (Hear, hear.) And he (Mr. Hickson) recommended this view to the consideration of all the friends of national education.—(Hear.) The object of education was to make good citizens of the people by teaching every member of the community to understand the laws he was called upon to obey.—(Hear.) But how could they teach the poor man the nature of the laws if they prohibited the circulation of the only publications that treated of the administration of those laws? Newspapers were only ac cessible to the poor man at the public-house, but what was wanted was that they should enter the cottage door. Such publications as the Penny Magazine, Chambers's Tracts, and Chambers's Journal, of which he did not wish to speak depreciatingly, did not come home enough to the real objects and business of life, and the working classes would sacrifice them all to the cheap news paper. There was some reason for the allegation that the higher classes in continuing the taxes on knowledge had a sinister object in view, the maintenance of political privileges and pollEcal monopoly. If ever the people carried the repeal of o these taxes would be by taking the matter into their own hands. He believed it to be within the mark that there would be ten newspapers for one if the taxes on knowledge were repealed, and thus increased and more remune rating employment would be given, not only to journey man printers, bate° the whole literary profession. The local press would be especially benefited. The Ruesell Administration appeared to be entering upon another lease of power.—(Several voices—" A short one!") They had lost very considerably the confidence of the. country.—(Great cheering.) He trusted they would turn over a new leaf.—(A cry—" It is too late!") At all events a general election was close at hand, and, al though he was not favourable to pledges, he hoped the taxes on knowledge would be admitted to stand as the first to be repealed by a Liberal Ministry and Parlia ment.—(Cheers.) Dr. LEE seconded the resolution, but wished it had included the duty upon foreign books and the ocean penny postage. Mr. E. EDWARDS supported the motion, and addressed the meeting to show the additional employment that would be given to large classes of persons in the printing and paper-making trades, if the taxes on knowledge were repealed. London, with 2,500,000 of people, had only six morning papers, while in New York, with a popula tion of 500,000 or 600,000, there were thirteen. Mr. M. GIBSON. M.P., who was cordially received, said it had devolved upon him to move the repeal of the taxes on knowledge in the House of Commons, and he hoped to renew that motion. But a Member of Parlia ment, in a like case, felt in a most forlorn situation un less be knew he was backed by public opinion.--(Hear, hear.) It was for the people to carry this as they had carried other questions, and they must remember that no free knowledge or any other kind of freedom had ever been handed over to the people as a free and spontaneous gift .—(Hear, hear.) He was afraid there lay at the root of the opposition to the repeal of these taxes an unworthy jealousy on the part of governing men of the spread of knowledge among the people.—(Cheers.) It was said that the spread of cheap newspapers would make government in this country impos sible. It was far more likely that ignorance would make government impossible.—(Hear, hear.) It wou ld b e much better that our institutions should rest upon the basis of an enlightened public opinion. If they looked forward to a period of universality of suffrage, nothing could he more important than that the great body of the people should have brought within their reach the means of understanding the laws under which they lived. The Government was afraid to carry out impar tially and literally the provisions of the Newspaper Act, which, he contended, ought therefore not to b e conti nued werewi thasking each ask- e h if ie ne p t„rp o t n f ho t re h tr e oeo s p temaatulucet much, a b bl o lu o t k . they theselt taxeswere might e re aa a tl app, e p en e oe a ne r n, e t tc h ht a ee t yd , other, and he for ono would not be contented until the three e atre l d y u t f i r e e s e e He r e a h l I ad repealed,and ne doubt w ha t until the ever thatpres s thew a s scat tax upon advertisements was not a means of revenue, but a revenue destroyer, since it struck at industry and commerce, the prosperity of which produced revenue. He ventured to say that if this tax were repealed in the next year's returns of income the amount would not be missed. It was not, in fact, a consideration of reve nue that prevented the repeal of this tax, but a dread of extending cheap knowledge and cheap newspapers among the working classes. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was preparing a new Budget. Ho had no great confi dence that he would come forward with a proposition for the repeal of the taxes upon knowledge; but they must not be deterred from pressing on this question by any statement that the financial arrangem en t s o f t h e year - were concluded. He held it to be perfectly fair and Parliamentary to press all matters of this nature upon the attention of the Government, and he trusted that he should live to see the shackles struck from the press and perfect freedom introduced.—(Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. COLLETT, seconded by Mr. HOLYOAKE, the following resolution was also carried, and the meeting separated at midnight:— " That by allowing a number of registered newspapers to circulate a portion of their impression without stamps, emt metropolis, nte others;te be e and iwnehe b irl y et e sup pressing and per mittingd denying y n ienwgs the and same political privilege the in o of Inland Revenue has invested its e lf w ith th e p owers o f a censorship equally foreign to the l aws o f th e l an d an d the feelings of the people of this country." un t a similarm p e d publications publications it: the country, the Board THE COUNTRY MARKETS. ',ZEDS, MARCH 4. —Our supplies of grain to-day were only moderate. There was a little more firmness in the trade, and Friday's terms were supported, but without leading to any activity in business. Barley steady, at late prices. Beans, oats, &c., were unaltered. NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MARCH 4.—The supply of wheat of all descriptions was small, still the trade was dull, although Saturday's prices were maintained. In fine qualities of malting barley there was a fair inquiry at if anything higher rates. Inferior sorts neglected. In flour and other articles little change. NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 4.—The supply of beasts was 101 less than on last Tuesday. Trade brisk, and all sold at 3d per stone advance. About 2JO more sheep shown this morning than last week.

BRISTOL Mallon FAIR.—At our annual cattle fair there wa. on the whole a good supply of animals, and prices rather looked up. Fat Devons fetched from 44s to 52s per cwt. In poor oxen prices varied from 81 and 101 to 17'. The supply of sheep was extremely indifferent, and not much business done. The supply of horses was large, good animals commanding fair prices, but indifferent hacks were difficult to dispose of. We have heard many complaints among the butchers at the fair being held on the market day (Saturday), thus putting them to great inconvenience to attend.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." , Air—" Prince Albert's March." In rising the third time, Sir WILLIAM YARDLET pro posed the toast of the evening. Sir CHARLES NAPIER, who se rising was the si gna l f or loud and long-continued applause, as soon as he could be heard, spoke nearly as follows:—Gentlemen—It is with some difficulty that I, a traveller at the pr esent moment, rise to thank you for the compliment you have paid me, and for the kindness you have shown me; after hearing myself praised in one of the most eloquent speeches I have ever heard, I, a poor soldier, cannot reply to such eloquence. Passing through Bombay, and without preparation, I am only able to thank you for all the honours heaped upon me by the army, as well as by the civilians of Bombay; and, when I say civilians, I mean all who do not wear the blue and red coat. I know I am supposed in Bombay to be an enemy to civilians, but this is quite erroneous—(Cheers)—I am no enemy to civilians; it is false to say that I am, and it is a falsehood which is so absurd that I have never taken the trouble to refute it. You must allow me great latitude in replying to the eloquent speech we have just heard, for, so help me God, I trusted to a soldier's heart to find words to address to you Oil the inspiration of the moment. lam afraid that my friend the chairman has gone far beyond my merits—(Cries of " No, no") — and I cannot altogether admit his praise; his kindness has exaggerated my qualities, except in one thing where he has spoken the truth. Ile has correctly said that I would be the first to feel pain at the detraction of Lord Gough in order to increase my praise. Lord Gough is a glorious old soldier, and a good man, possessing one of the noblest hearts that ever beat, and I love him well. I have to say to Sir William Yardley, in return for his kind eulogium, that I must share it with the bravearmy; for without them I could have done nothing—Whithe, Leason, Wyllie, now before me at this table, and I could point out a dozen gallant others, without whose courage and assistance I could have done nothing. I must not forget the Bengal 19th Regiment of cavalry, who were equal to their neghbours, nor the small band of Madras Sappers, who also behaved well. I cannot pass over any man that has done his duty. I love all the three armies of India, but I, , ,must confess that I am prejudiced in favour of the Bombay army. lam saying nothing that can hurt a Bengal officer, for I have found as good officers and men in the Bengal army as I did in Bombay; but I com menced my Indian career with the Bombay army, and although I have fought with the Bengal army, and com manded them for two years, yet I am prejudiced in favour of the Bombay army and of low caste. Gentlemen, I have the honour to sit with a glorious soldier at this table. He rose from the ranks; he had a noble origin. I love that man, for he first planted the British colours on the breach of Moultan.—(Cheers.) He has been justly rewarded with a commission; but, gentlemen, I am steering among rocks, but I am a pilot and will go on—notwithstanding he has been so promoted, yet there is a regulation in force amongst you which prevents hint from enjoying all the advantages of his present position, and I consider it a most inconsistent regulation by which he is prevented from joining the military fund, and making the same provision as yourselves for his widow and offsprings. lam now speaking to your best feel ings, and I say that this regulation ought to be broken; for although that soldier rote from the ranks, he rose from -a glorious foundation.---(Sir Charles here alluded to kessign Bennett.) This is a wandering wild speech, s iatit as the thoughts come uppermost so the old soldier must speak. In what Sir Wiliam Yardley said, while again repeat that he praised me too highly, yet, I be lieve that he only spoke what he felt to be the truth from his heart. But I like to come to parti cular points. In the wars of Sinde there were some officers who did more for me than I did for them. The first I shall mention is Captain Brown, of the Bengal army, who is now dead. A braver or a better soldier never lived. Of the second I shall not say anything, as ;Ale is a relative of mine—l mean Major M`Murdo ; but the third, of whom I shall and will speak, is my Moon shee, Ali Akbar. This man stood by me in the day of battle; he was of the greatest assistance to me through out the campaign in Sinde; he was my tongue; and I now find him in disgrace. lam not aware upon what infor mation the Government has acted. I charge no man with injustice, but I have a ri g ht t o say t h at Al i Akbar did more for the conquest of Sinde than a thousand sol diers could have done. I will never abandon a brave soldier, and after all that Ali Akbar has done, I find him here in disgrace; and gentlemen (said the General, with emphasis, and striking the table with his hand), I say he has had no trial.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I charge to man or the Government with injustice, but I will trot abandon Ali Akbar. I will now speak of the day of peace, and tell you of the men who assisted me, besides the commanders of corps. Next to them were the collectors of Sindo ; there were three of them, but I shall only mention two, for they did preserve the honour of England—l mean Major Goldney, of the Bengal army, and Captain Rathborne, of the Bombay army. .These two men did more for me than anybody , else in time of peace—they upheld the honour of Eng land. Those gentlemen made our rule loved; and I will not take the credit of what they are justly entitled to. No man surpasses me in zeal and devotion to the army, and to the true interests of the East India Company. I am not an enemy,:as has been said, to the Court of Direc tors—God forbid that I should be any man's enemy, but I will not submit to be ill-treated; this is not enmity, but an independent spirit, which I glory in, and which, old as I am, I shall carry with me to the grave.—(Rap turous applause.) It is this that makes me feel so aeeply the kindness of the present company. This day 57 years ago, gentleman, I received my first commission as an ensign, and girded on this sword, which has remained by my side ever since. I received that commission, as a boy, rejoicing; your kindness makes me rejoice in finish ing that career as a man.—(Cheers.) Let me now speak of some matters connected with the interests of the city of Bombay, of which I have always thought with great intensity. The Country of the Five Rivera has been conquered, and I rods throughout it all the other day, and never saw a richer or a more flourishing country. I do not know much of such things, but I tell you what I saw—oceans of grain, and there are coals for your steamers, and you will find sulphur, shall I say for your Scotchmen (aside laughingly)—(Cheers) —but no matter for whom. Steamers can go everywhere and bring these products to tho port of' Bombay, the trade of which would soon be considerably enlarged. I met an Arme nian of the name of Arathoon, the other day, in the Punjaub, a man of great energy and enterprise, and who largely assisted our armies in Affghanistan in procuring supplies—who told me that he had felled an enormous quantity of timber, which was now lying on the banks of the Cheenab, as he could not bring it down to Bom bay, Lord Dalhousie having refused him the protection of Government, unless he could prove that he had the means of carrying out his enterprise. It is true that I had only this Arathoos's own story, and he was an interested party; but I believed what he told me. Now I do not know much of such things, and lam speaking in the presence of those who do, but I should say that CGeonavemrnermeeenrtehgaudirea to n nothing you this Ido not wish to say anything against Lord g nursed to d l o t k e a with child. a m a n isn means.

' nected with the press here present. Some people in Bombay say and think that I hate the public press. Far from it, I do not hate the press, although I have a great antipathy to some individuals connected with it ; and I own I have sometimes wished for a broomstick, and to be near the editor of the Bombay Times.—(A laugh.) But in justice to Lord Dalhouse, I must tell you again that I got this story from Mr. Arathoon himself, an interested man, who told we that the timber would be ravaged by the rajas without he had the protection of Government, which Lord Dalhousie refused the purpose whether Lord Dalhousie is right or wrong, to know that thia Ara. but it is to the purpose for you thoon complains that he has a great abundance of tim ber,hinLehei bringmg_E with nearer to these rich to be borne to Bombay ; and Government will the produce of the countries thatoftht ,bring it here. Is it not a pity that such opportunities should be not give him the fair protection he requires to ' Indian provinces? with proper arrangements I say that Bombay will, soon be the great rendezvous for all things both from England and neglected for the Punjaub. Cal cutta will not lose her grandeur, but she cannot rival pctiisn januobth:nregadtoy Bombay or Kurrachee as mercantile ports.
