At the termination of the ordinary business of the court the poor man, William Bill, who had his Oa,— ship broken by a cabman running his vehicle against it som e tim e since, end for the damage of which 10/. was awarded by Sir John Key, the poor fellow only getting one-fourth that amount to recompense him for his loss, choosing rather to take a portion than allow the man to go to prison, and so lose all, applied to the sitting alderman, Sir Chapman Marshall, for the loan of 10s., to complete his- " crystal structure." He 'stated be had: been hard at work ever since the accident, and had only now completed the vessel, and wanted the money he now applied for to buy a piece of glass to make the esti° in which he usually showed it. He further stated that he had been maintained during his "one-handed" labours by the kindness and charity of, the- Rev.. Mr. Lyons, of Whitechapel, who had allowed him 2s. worth of breed per week for some months past. The poor man was er. ceedingly grateful for the relief afforded him by that gentleman, who had followed the noble example of the good Samaritan, and placed him in a position to live and work for so long a period. lie offered to pay the money back in weekly instalments of 3s. each. Sir Chapman Marshall kindly granted him the 10s. from the poor fund, but not as a loan, as he was really a deserving ob ject for relief. tiMesars.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Vict., cap. HO.) _ Master John E. Petley (1844), Master-Commander of the Lightning, is apppointed Master-Commander of the Black Eagle steam-vessel, in the room of Master-Com mander S. B Cook, in the event of the latter finally ac. cepting the situation of superintendent of the shipping of the Ordnance department at the reduced salary of 3001. per annum. We have been assured, in quarters on which we can place every reliance, that the salary of superintendent of Ordnance shipping will not exceed 3001. per annum in future. We have also been assured that the terms on which the appointment would be made was virtually as we previously stated. We cannot un dertake to say that Mr. Cook will accept the situation on these terms. It is well-known, however, that many officers of the royal navy, even of the rank of lieutenant, would be but too glad to accept it even on the terms we announced, and consider it, in addition to their half-pay, a fair reward for their gallant services and for the mo derate duties they would have to perform.. The Master- General and Board of . Ordnance have exhibited their desire to act justly and economically in this instanee, in the opinion of all impartial persons acquainted with the nature of the case. Master Henry William Allen (1342), additional to the Black Eagle steam-vessel, being senior to Mr. Petley by 2} years, is appointed to command the Lightning steam vessel, in the room of Mr. Petley, in the event of these appointments being accepted by the respective parties. A. BARRETT, Secretary. . . The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderato and'equitable Rates or 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 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 ,nmached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, 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 tiff 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.

Caroline Haseldine, a well-dressed and pretty looking young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having robbed Mrs. Mary Sumption, a widow lady residing at 10, Stanhope-street, Hampstead road, of property to the amount of more than 1001. • Prosecutrix, on being sworn, said—The prisoner has been in my service three years. On Friday last I re ceived from my tenants a large sum, which I put into my wardrobe, where other money had from time to time been deposited by me. In the whole there was more than 100/., consisting of three 10/. notes, four 51. ditto, together with a quantity of gold and some'silver. The whole was placed in three bags, and I locked the door of my wardrobe, which was in my bedroom. On Saturday night the prisoner, as was her usual custom, took a bird into the parlour, and presently came down to me in the kitchen, exclaiming, " Oh! my God! mistress, we have been robbed, for the parlour window is open and the drawers also;" upon hearing which I said, " Oh! then I am a ruined woman." I went into the parlour with her, when she remarked, " but they haven't undone the secretsire, for there's a key in it that don't fit;" which I found to be the case. The key is mine. I saw a silver watch, which was my late hus band's, lying on the window board, and prisoner said, " Oh, that will, I dare say, detect them.' This watch was safe in my bedroom the same morning. Prisoner then went up stairs, and as I was about to follow her she came running down in great haste, saying, " Oh, ma'am, the drawers are all open, and the wardrobe too." I en tered the room and found that all my money was gone, and also the larger bag of the three. The other two I found empty upon the floor. I said, " Oh, dear I who can have done this ?" and the prisoner made no answer. She, however, seemed much agitated. Yesterday a trades man named Levy came to any house, he having heard of the robbery, and informed me that on last Tuesday week he sold to the prisoner a gold watch; a gold chain, a ring, and two brooches. This was mentioned in the presence of the prisoner, who then said to me, " I em the one who robbed you, and no one else, and I'll restore you the money." She then addressed herself to Mr. Levy. saying, " You'll return to Mrs. Sumption what I paid you;" to which he replied, " We'll settle that another time," and he then went away. After he was gone I said to the prisoner " Now, Car o li ne; " w h en she re marked, " If you will only go out at that (the front kit chen) door for a minute I'll restore it;" upon which I said, " Then it's in the kitchen ?" and she replied, " Yes, it is." I told her she might just as well give it to me where I was, as it Rai not my intention to g o eut, upon which sh e p ut h er h and i nto an opening undr the grate, and drew therefrom a parcel, which she gave to me, saying, " There's your money." I opened it, and found therein two 10/. notes, six 5/. notes, 38 sovereigns, 15 belf-sovereigns, 3 half-crowns, 2 shillings, and a six pence. I said to her, "Now, Caroline, give me the rest of the things," and she drew from the same place as she did the money, a gold watch, chain, key, ring, aid brooch, which she gave into my hands. Lockerby, 180 S, said, that he visited the house en Sunday night lase, and upon examining the premises at once felt satisfied that the robbery must have been eff,cted by some one on the premiseo. Yesterday even ing he took the prisoner into custody, when she gave him a brooch, which ,;he said was one of the two which she had bought of Mr. Levy on the Tuesday week. Witness remarked to her that that was before the rob bery, when she said that she knew that, and that she made the purchases cf the watch and the whole of the other articles with her mistress's money. Mr LONG—Did she make this statement to you volun tarily? Witness—She did, Sir. Mr. Lora—Did she tell you in what money she paid for the articles? Witness—She told me that she changed a 101. and a 5/. note, both of which she had taken from the wardrobe; she also said that she had taken money from there before. Mr. LONG— Did she mention to you the amount she paid for what she bought? Witness--No, Sir. Mr. Levy was present, but it was not considered ne cessary by the magistrate to have him sworn as a wit ness in the case; he said that the goods purchased of him came to 131., and he had no reason at the time to imagine that the prisoner had come improperly by the money. In reply to the Magistrate, he said he should be wil clilneTgs hh t e o e ph r , r e ai t sd t o i return Irtd,h being hi m nog o h n r ei dt u h rn e no : t h dh a i d toog received ht jo.say upon n the an sw e a r r t t i o - C th r e ini ch in a a r i ge do w ur az fully committed for trial at the Centre WORSHIP-STREET. A young man of very respectable appearance, whose name, for reasons which will be obvious, it is unnecs sary to publish, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr what, charged upon suspicion of having, in conjunction with other men not in custody, barglariously broken into the premises of Mr. John Edmonds, a silk manu facturer in Fort-street, Spitalfields, and stolen 'a large quantity of raw and manufactured silk, weighing up wards of 5 cwt., and of the value of 6501. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been about six years in his confidential employment in the warehouse, and he had always. entertained the highest opinion of his integrity up to Saturday last, when, at shortly after seven in the morning, he was hastily called down stairs by one of his servants with an intimation that the premises had been broken into, and upon en tering the warehouse, which was in great disorder, he found that the various drawers and other receptacles of the stock had been taken out and plundered of the most valuable portion of their contents, consisting of 323 pounds weight of raw silk, and nearly 1,500 yards of manufactured silks, the entire bulk of which must have amounted to about 5 cwt. He also found, upon ex amining his desks, that one of them had been forced and ransacked by the thieves, who had carried off between 71. and 8/. in loose cash and other articles. On inspect ing the premises to ascertain how ingress had been ob tained, it was discovered that the staircase window, overlooking the main street, and which had been care fully secured the night before, had been forced, and was then wide open. The whole of the property was per fectly safe at four o'clock on Friday afternoon, when witness left the premises in charge of the prisoner, whose duty it YYJS to close the warehouse and deposit the keys in a box adjoining the kitchen when he left at five or six o'clock in the evening. About two hours after the discovery of the robbery the prisoner presented himself at the warehouse as usual, and after preparing an esti mate of the value and description of the goods stolen by the burglars, was directed to distribute about the neigh bourhood a number of placards, offering a reward of 1001. for the apprehension of the thieves, and continued to discharge his usual duties until the preceding after noon, when, in consequence of private information fur nished against him, he felt himself compelled to giro di rections for his apprehension. anu- James Payne, foreman to Mr. Foot, another silkreD: fucturer, deposed to passing through SPital.ig o ga when he be tween four and five o clock on Friday shoulders saw a man hurrying with a large bag upon , which arenousa, from the direction of the prosecutor'sdwcontinued wate• mau he believed to be the prisoner ,: a rate-street; but his afternoon, ing him until ho turned into Bish i ve 3 swear to he could nor, therefore, p features, ant hat was drawn so carefully over h is eyes to l. shade h:s his identity. i nspic , or Elli s a l s o deposed to h cavin. thing g .is house the pri. he discovered son( r into cu . t,tly, and that uponseat but had n o count x i on with the present robbery.
