In the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing in its stinntlative operation.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. - Capital-500,0"01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. HO.) The leading principles of this Office are —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 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 anomr.ly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Firo Insu rance Company is established. Yhe true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap mached through Classification and Average, which has not laitkerto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically ensiled. 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 se 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 propertloned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal six of its own experience, from time to tire, 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 eent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Coss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Prouerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 38, per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Oftloe, or to any of its Agents. t National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire s Both Offices.

Six,—From the report of the debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, I perceive that the Hon. Member for the county of Ayr (with which lam connected) has favoured the house with his opinion on that important measure. Considering the fact, that the Blouse is but rarely favoured with the eloquence of the Hon. Member, his opinions are, probably, on that account entitled to the more respect. I have no desire to act uncha ritably towards him, but I cannot resist the temptation of correcting an assertion which he made in the course of his remarks, and which will have a damaging influence on the character of the constituency which he repre sents. He said, "No public meeting bas been held in the county which I represent, which may be considered the stronghold of the Covenant." lam not aware what the Hon. Gentleman deems a public meeting, but I can in form him that a meeting was held in the county town, which was attended by gentlemen, lay and clerical, from almost all the Protestant bodies, and which passed resolutions that up hold the character of the descendants of the Covenanters. My memory does not serve me well on the matter, but I am inclined to think that the meeting referred to was not a soli tary one. One thing lam assured of, that from no county, in proportion to its inhabitants, have more petitions been raised on the question of Papal aggression ; and I am convinced that any of Mr. Oswald's constituents who belong to the Free Church are at his service at any time to state to him the difference which exists between the right which they claim for their spiritual head in the Church of Scotland, and that of the Pope in claiming the spiritual superintendence of all within his bishops sees. By inserting the above you will oblige, Your very obedient servant, Edinburgh, Feb. 15, 1851. J. ANDERSON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your paper of to-day I perceive you are an advo cate for the measure about to be brought in to permit a person marrying a brother's wife; this cannot affect me in any way, but I most cordially agree to it, and the object of my writing to you is to show the power of your advocacy to all the other prohibitions in connexion with the same thing, for there are several such hung up in our Church. Now they are about to legislate on the principle the minor prohibitions seem to be lost sight of, because many of the latter are per fectly ridiculous; certainly the whole ought to be considered at once, because if the law with regard to a wife's sister is acceded to, the same thing will apply as to a woman marrying her husband's brother. A friend of mine applied to marry his deceased wife's niece : it is equally prohibited, and they were obliged to go where they were not known to get married. This case is much stronger than the wife's sister, being no alliance at all, and what trouble and difficulty it would prevent if the whole of these matters were now legislated of and got rid of. All the papers ought to at once expose the present system, because there appears a strong feeling to pass a law to permit marriage with a wife's sister, that being the nearest in alliance. Certainly it would be folly in the extreme to continue the other prohibitions. I am, Sir, &e., JOHN HUTCHENS. Devonport-terrace Plymouth, Feb. 15th, 1851. P.S.—I should think the Commission appointed to con sider the question with regard to the marriage with a wife's sister cannot have thought of the other laws of prohibition of consanguinity.

THE SUSPECTED MUEDEIL OF A FEMALE AT CAMBERWELL—On Saturday Mr. W. Carter, coroner for surrey, resumed and concluded an inquest on the body of a female, named Eleanor Davey, 63 years of age, at the Marl. borough Arms, South-street, Camberwell. At the present inquiry no new facts were elicited, except with respect to the evidence of Mr. Flower, the surgeon, who at the previous inquiry considered that the body of the deceased must have been placed there by some one else. Now, on the resumed inquest, he deposed that the deceased woman must, in his opinion, have been labouring under some mental delusion, and whilst in that condition got upon a chair, placed her foot on the corner of the mantel shelf, which giving way, precipitated her with grelt violence into the mysterious posi tion in which the police found her. Other evidence was given, and the coroner summed up, and remarked on the' mysterious nature of the case. The jury returned a unani mous verdict, " That the deceased was found dead,. with her neck dislocated, and with marks of vio lence on various parts of her person, but how she came by such inj uries ' they had not sufficient proof."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. M. MOCQUARD, Chef du Cabinet of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Pays " Sir,—You have just opened a subscription at the offices of your estimable journal, notwithstanding the declaration of the President of the Republic that he would accept none. That declaration, nevertheless, could neither give rise to any doubt, nor any ex option. It is a sacrifice without reservation to the repose of the country. Under whatever form, therefore, the funds may be collected, whatever destination may be assigned to them, the President cannot accept them. He charges me to repeat this in the most formal manner; and while thanking those persons whose persevering regard would ieduco them to cooperate with your personal devoted ness, he begs you not to follow up this projected sub scription. Accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished and devoted sentiments." The Pays states that the PRESIDENT of the Re public has given orders for the sale of most of his horses, and that two valuable English horses, re cently imported, have already been sold. The horses of the PRESIDENT which were at St. Cloud have been brought to the stables in the Rue Montaigne. The Assembly, at its rising on Saturday, adjourned to Thursday, in order to give to the Members an op portunity of examining in their bureaux the Bill on communal and departmental organization. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has it in contem plation to propose to the Assembly a series of mea sures for the amelioration of the condition of the la bouring classes, which measures, having been sub mitted by him to the Odilon Barrot Ministry in 1849, had been by them rejected as having a tendency to Socialism. Ihe French Cabinet has sent in a protest to the Court of Vienna against the proposed incorporation of the Italian and Sclavonian provinces of Austria in the German Confederation ; and the French Govern ment has received assurances from the English Ca binet that England will remain the firm ally of France, and will assist her in repelling any aggression on the part of Austria. An army of observation will be ordered to the German and Italian frontiers. The Moniteur announces several changes among the general officers in command of brigades. General HERBILLON has been appointed to the Ist brigade of the 3d division of the army of Paris; General LE VAILLANT to the command of a subdivision at Toulon; General MELLINET to that of a brigade of infantry at Lyons ; and General NOEL to that of a sub•division at Alenpn.

The Berlin correspondent of the Cologne Gazette says that Prance has made reserves respecting the admittance of Austria and all her provinces into the German Cenfederation, and that a note to that effect has been presented by the French Ambassador to the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs. " The French Government (the note is reported to tra3) deems it impossible that Austria shall be admitted with all her provinces into the German Confede ration without the consent of the powers, guran. tees of the treaties of Vienna having first been ob tained." Rumours that the combined powers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, would undertake a war against Piedmont and Switzerland in the spring, have had a depressive influence upon commercial transactions. In the Upper Chamber of Prussia on the 15th, Baron ARNIM'S motion on the affairs of Holstein was rejected by a majority of 71 to 41. In the Lower Chamber there was a majority of 9 votes on a division against the income-tax.

The lndepend,ance of Brussels say s —" O ur cor respondent at Frankfort writes that it h as been de termined by the conferences at Dresd en t o organ i se a permanent army of the Confederation. According to some persons the chief command of this force is to be confided alternately to an Austrian Archduke and a Prussian Prince ; but others say that an Austrian Archduke is always to command in chief, end a Prus sian Prince to be second in command. The Arch duke ALBERT has already been spoken of, and great preparations are snaking at Frankfort to receive him." The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Cassel of the 11th, which states that Count LEIN.. MOEN having demanded of the Minister of War of the ELECTOR whether his troops could be depended upon for the execution of any orders given by the Federation, the Minister had called upon the officers to declare within a delay of twenty-four hours whe ther their obedience without conditions could be re lied on. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 11th publishes the treaty of commerce concluded between Sardinia and France, and approved both by the French Assembly and the Sardinian Chambers. In the sitting of the 10th the Piedmontese Senate commenced the discussion on the relief to be granted to the officers who were engaged in the defence of Venice against the Austrians in the late war, and voted on the first article. The Chamber of Deputies voted the budget of the navy for 1851. A correspon — dent at Rome - writes to the Messagere Modanese, under date of the 4th, that the lists of the new tax-payers are rapidly progressing in the Roman provinces, and that the new law, which imposes a tax upon trades and professions, is shortly to c-Ime into vigour. The tax will yield 11,000 scudi (66,000 f.) in the province of Viterbo, and 7,000 scudi (42,000 f.) in that of Velletri. It is generally understood at Rome that the Papal Government will be under the necessity of increasing all the taxes, and of raising the price of salt to the old standard. THE SAILORS' STRIKE.—HULL, SATURDAY EVEN-. ING.—Captain Beechey, R.N.,arrived here last night, and a public notice signed by the ayor (Ur. T. W. Palmer) was posted, intimating that be would meet the seamen at the Town-hall this morning, for the purpose of hearing any com plaints as to the working of the Mercantile Marine Act. As, however, it was notified that all who attended would be called on to produce their register tickets before being admitted, the mariners committee, acting on the part of the men, rejected the conference on this footing, but stated thater they had no objection to meet Capt. Beechey inannt: place. Accordingly, at noon to-day, about 600 men Captain at the Victoria-rooms, Queen-street, Pres by the Beechey was introduced by the Mayor, who gallant captain referred the men to the reply s senta sufficient Board of Trade to the Sunderland memorial about to be sent from answer to an exactly similar memoriallabo andcled.

FlRE.—This morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Child, gun and pistol maker, N 0.280, Strand. Owing to the timely arrival of the engines, and the good supply of water, the flames were soon extinguished, but not before WA 0911tiumsd. the colltenta of the shop had ~~-~} < TESTIMONY OF THE INSANE. (tl''rntre the Institute, Medical Journal.) A case of considerable interest, and of some nicety in medical jurisprudence, has recently been brought to the notice of our tribunals. An unfortunate inmate of Arm. atrong's Pauper Lunatic Asylum, at Peckham, died unex pectedly in December last, and upon examination his left arm aed four of his ribs on the right side were found to be fractured. His keeper had made no report of any casialty having happened to him, and, in fact, denied all know ledge of how the deceased came by the injuries which caused his death. We do not, of course, desire to dis cuss the merits of an investigation which involves the most serious consequences to the party accused, and is still pending; but it cannot prejudice him to state that the keeper's denial was not relied upon, and an inquiry took place before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for the county of Surrey. At this inquiry a difficulty arose, which Mr. Carter had neither the legal knowledge nor the good sense to grapple with. It was clearly his duty, if once satisfied that there was reason to believe that the deceased had met his death by violence, to examine every witness who could give evidence of the circumstance, and to leave their final admissibility to be decided by t h e highest authori ties—the judges of the land. To Mr. Carter, however, it appeared otherwise. With the exception of the keeper, who was under suspicion, and who had asserted his ignorance of everything relating to the transaction, no ono could depose to the treatment of th e deceased, but his fellow lunatics. The jury was anxious that some or one of them should be examined, Mr. Carter, however, refused to take this course, on the ground that a person declared by law to be lunatic, was by law an incompe tent witness ; and the jury, in the absence of sufficient evidence, eriived at the unsatisfactory verdict of " Man eslaughter against some person or persons unknown." We would here interpose this obvious comment, that if Mr. Carter's view cf the ease were correct, the keepers of our pauper lunatic asylums might be guilty of the utmost brutality to their patients, with an impunity al most certain. At this stage of the proceedings, however, the Com missioners in Lunacy interfered. The Coroner's Court had not performed its functions well, nod the keeper was therefore by the direction of the Commissioners ap prehended on Saturday last, and charged before Mr. Norion, the magistrate, with the man slaughter of the deceased. Here the scene was entirely changed. The counsel for the prosecution intimated his intention of calling one of the poor men from the in firmary where the deceased was kept, and who could speak to important facts. Accordingly, to use the lan guage of the reporter, " Richard Donelly, a red-faced tunny little :Mailman, mounted the wituees-box," and being questioned as to the nature of an oath, to which questioning (we again quote the reporter) "his answers were as lucid and satisfactory as could be given by the Bishop of London or Cardinal Wiseman, he was al lowed to be sworn, and detailed a narrative, which upon the face of it, whatever be its value, seems clear and con nected, and which elicited from the magistrate the com pliment, that he as well as everybody who had heard it was convinced of its truth. The result is, that the keeper has been committed to take his trial at the ensu in,, sessions of the Central Criminal Court. With the guilt or innocence of the keeper, we at present have nothing to do. In the interests of that profession which we aim at worthily representing, it is indeed of the deepest moment that the care of the in sane should be entrusted to persons of judgment and humanity ; and that wherever violence and inhumanity are proved they should promptly be checked and punished. But we are now only concerned in di recting attention to the different course pursued by the coroner and the magistrate as to the examination of a witness declared by law to be " cf unsound mind," and to ascertain which of them acted in accordance with the known principles of medical jurisprudence. As we have already suggested, our opinion is, that the coroner was wrong, and that a person tendered as a witness in a judicial proceeding is not necessarily in competent because he has been pronounced insane. To hold otherwise were to confound all distinctions, and contradict the general experience of those who have made insanity their study, and explained the various aberrations of that complex machine—the human mind. In order fully to sustain our opinion we will consider this interesting topic, first in its legal and then in its me dical bearings. The competency or incompetency of witnesses was once a much more subtle and difficult inquiry than it has now become under the ameliorating influence of the Legisla ture. Many legal impediments to a full investigation of facts have been swept away in the progress of time, and what time brings, knowledge. The distinc , ion between the admissibility and the effect of evidence has been more clearly defined, and the prevailing rule is to refuse as seldom as possible the admission of testimony, leaving its force and value to be determined by the wisdom and experience of the tribunal before which it is given. Some test, however, of competency, that is of admis sibility, must be laid down and abided by. In all civilized and Christain countries, before a witness can give evidence, an oath is administered to him, upon the obligation of which he is to speak the truth. We need not allude to the excepted case where an affirmation is made instead of an oath taken. The principle is the same, the form different. Such is the law of England. The test then is, does the party tendered as a witness understand the nature and acknowledge the obligation of an oath? If he does he is competent as a witness. An infant of tender years cannot understand the nature of an oath, therefore by our law it is incompetent. An atheist does not recogeize the obligation of an oath, therefore, by our law he, is incompetent. But a mud man during a lucid interval may be ard leas been ex amined in our ceurts as a wan( as, and to apply the test to the instance before us, the witness Richard Donelly, having satisfied the magistrate that he understood the nature of au oath "as well as the Bishop of London or Cardinal Wiseman," he was properly admitted as a witness. Such we believe to be the law. All cur great law writers have recognized two kinds of insanity or mental unsoundness—dementia naturalis and dementia acci dentalis. The one means idiotcy, the other madness— the one born with the sufferer, and permanent; the other, permanent, temporary, violent, or partial, and having a different operation and a distinct influence upon every individual whom it seizos. Of the former class, none would be found competent as witnesses; but to establish a universal rule which should exclude the latter would be a manifest solecism in jurisprudence, and tend on occasions to a lamentable failure of justice. We have hitherto abstained from mentioning the ac tual delusion which Richard Donelly, " the funny red faced little,lrishman," was labouring under, because it was not important in reference to the legal bearings of this question. It is, however, important as to the medical bearings, and before entering upon them, which we shall do in a subsequent article, we beg to inform our readers that this poor fellow was labouring under the harmless, and perhaps to him not altogether disagreeable idea, that "sometimes he had one butt of beer and at other times two butts of beer in his inside." We shall have as little difficulty in showing that such a delusion ought not in fact, as we have already shown it does not in law, incapacitate a man from giving his testimony in a court of justice. PRODUCTIONS FOR THE EXHIBITION.--IMFROVE MENT IN COSTUME.—In November last a declaration was issued, bearing the signatures of a large number of Royal Academicians and other artists, complaining that the present European costumes (particularly the male attire) " is in consistent with grace, simplicity, or dignity of aspect, devoid of all requisites for dignified historic painting, utterly incon gruous with sculpture, and no less unfavourable to the living figure, both as regards appearance and convenience ;" sug gesting to designers and makers of every anicle of dress to avail themselves of the favourable opportunity afforded by the Exhibition to display " such forms as may afford a series of transitional changes from the present fashion to a style consistent with the foregoing views and the advanced tastes of the age." Among those who have specially turned attention to this subject are Messrs. IL J. and D. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who intend devoting a great portion of the space allotted to them in the Crystal Palace for the exhibition of the various court and ge neral male attire worn in this country during the past two or three centuries, the object of which will be to show the practicability by gradual transition of arriving at a graceful and elegant costume, calculated for properly displaying the human figure, and annihilating the existing inelegant, un classical, and monotonous dress in which the limbs of the masculine portion of her Majesty's subjects are daily to be seen envoloped. One of the garments in this collection is a modern Paletot, registered on the 13th inst., the merits of which are the dispensing with as many seams as possible, those seams which are preserved flowing in curvilinear lines, in accordance with Hogarth's line of beauty.
