EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0 01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty •f 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 proportonate 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 aporoximatinn to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has 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 time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent, of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t Natisnal Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire fa Both Offices. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 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 repert, 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 2801.—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, 1249, 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 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 32. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 123. 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., bat 1,1831. Ils. 10d. 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 de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts,—Yesterday's racing on the lleath elicited one or two strange facts ; one was, that Softer! ey, 6 yrs, 9st 51b, A. F., should beat Pitaford, 4 yrs, Bst 41b,, for the Craven Stakes, the latter being run to a head by Little Jack, same age and weight; the redoubtable mud traveller, King Charming, at Est 61b, being fourth ; the colt by Dromedary, dam by Mu latto, 3 yrs, Est Glb, being absolutely. last. The running for this stake is worth remembering. In the race for the Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 soya eat &c., Cariboo, 4 yrs, Bst 111 b, won cleverly from Reindeer 3 yrs, 6st 71b, Merry Peal, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, and five others, including Cranbury, 4 yrs, Bst llb, Longinus, 4 yrs, Bst 71b, and Trinket, 3 yrs, Est 71b. This, of course, annihilat es Trinket's chance for the Column Stakes to-morrow,and el avates Merry Peal's and Ariosto's ; according to this running 1 kriosto ought to win the Column, and Merry Peal be second, .yr third at the outside. The D. M. 50 says.

SERGRANT WILRINS AND BARON PLArr.—Oa Saturday the monotony of the Nisi Prins Court at the assizes was enlivened by a little legal fencing between the Learned Judge and the leading barrister. During the trial of the cause " Armiste ed v. Wilde," Mr. Ser geant Wilkins put a question rather eha rply to a witness called by him on behalf of the plaintiff, when Mr. Baron rlatt reminded the Learned Sergeant that; he was examining , his own witness. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" I admit, my Lord, it is my own witness, but we all well know that very frequently our own witnesses are not favourable witnesses." Mr. Baron Platt—" That is not the mode in which witnesses ought to be treated, because they are to be protected as well as yourselves." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" Good God ! What have I said to call for protection ?" Mr. Baron Platt—" The manner of addressing the witness is niot such a manner as a witness ought to be addressed in." 341:r. Sergeant Wilkins — "I am sure the witness himself did not so feel it. I have been spoken to by others above me with ten times less courtesy." Mr. Baron Platt—" I hope you will have no more." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" Eight or ten times these assizes I have been spoken to in this way. lam not to be schooled and rated." Mr. Baron Platt--" You are not to be schooled and rated, but when you are irregular in your man ner or conduct I shall interfere."

SMALL TENEMENTS RATING ACT AMENDMENT.— ' The Bill brought in by Mr. T. Abel Smith and Mr. Aglionby to amend the Act of last session for the better assessing and collecting the poor-rates and highway-rates in respect of small tenements, proposes that the right of voting reserved by the 2d and 3d William IV., c. 45, s. 33, to persrins then I entitled, should not be affected by the change of rating under i the 13th and 14th Vict., c. 99, but that the occupier of any i such tenement as s describ'd in the Act should be entitled not only to the municipal privileges and franchises reserved to him by the Act, but also to the right of voting at elections for Members of Parliament NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill positively vacates the super inteudentship of the Deptford Dockyard, on promotion. Captain Milne, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, will not succeed him, as reported ; but it is believed that the appoint ment will be conferred on one of the most popular captains in the navy—an officer who is a C 8., was formerly at the Admiralty, and has recently paid off one of the happiest ship's companies that ever sailed under the royal pendant. A'-0110, 8, troop-sloop, Commander Rawstorne, with the 92d Regiment, arrived at Corfu on the 27th March, after a favourable passage of 18days, from Cork; but in consequence of a case of measles, and another of small-pox, the ship bad been put in quarantine for a week, much to the annoyance of the troops. Diligence store transport, Mitchell master, arrived at De vonport from Woolwich on Friday, took in some stores on Saturday, and sailed on Sunday morning for Bermuda. Magicienne new steam-sloop, at Devonport, having had her ballast re-stowed, was again taken out to sea on Thurs day, in charge of Mr. Brown, master-attendant, and returned on Friday afternoon. She is said to have answered much better, carrying her sails and standing up more stiffly, &c. ; but it must be recollected that it was in an easy breeze and smooth water. Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master-Commander Belam, had her defects made good, was paid advance on Saturday, and sailed from Devonport in the evening for the Cape. Duck lighter, Savage, master, arrived at Devonport with stores from Woolwich on Saturday. WooLwicti, APRIL 7.—The Rattler, 6, screw steam-sloop, of 200-horse power, Commander Arthur Cumming, arrived at Woolwich, at two o'clock, r.x., from the Coast of Africa, and is to be paid off at this port. having been in commission since the 12th of February, 1849. Lieutenant Leckie, with a part of the crew of the Penelope steam-frigate, arrived at Woolwich on Friday last to navi• gate the 'feazer steam-vessel to Portsmouth. She will then accompany the Penelope to the coast of Africa, and serve as a tender to that vessel. The Teazer is now barque-rigged, her former commander, Lieutenant Selwyn, having suggested the alteration from two to three masts to render her a better sailer when her steam is not used. The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Master-Commander Robert Salmond, will leave Woolwich. with four companies of Royal artillery on board, on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning for Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada. The baggage of the companies arrived at the dockyard this afternoon, and the companies are to embark on Wednesday. The whole of the four companies assembled in heavy march ing order to-day on the guard mounting parade, and were inspected by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C.B , K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, accompanied by Colonel Cruttenden, Brigade-Major Bingham, and the com manding officer and adjutant of the 10th battalion.

MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER .HUSBAND GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY NlGHT.—Another crime of this nature, now unfortunately of too frequent occurrence in this part of the kingdom, has just been perpetrated within a few yards of our city. The unhappy woman was a delicate young creature, only in her 23d year, named Esther Curtis, and the mother of her first child, about fifteen months old. She had lately been subjected to much ill-usage at the hands oF her husband, a labourer, named Edmund Curtis, of Victoria-street, in this city. About seven o'clock this morning she left her home, and went direct to-the White Lion beer-shop, a few yards distant, to confer with her husband on some matter of do- mestic import. Having exhibited considerable churlish re luctance to comply with her request of a minute's conver sation, Curtis at length complied. They had scarcely left the house, however, before the landlady, Mrs. Wilkes, was greatly alarmed by hearing the most piercing screams, pro ceeding from the garden by the site of the White Lion. Mrs. Wilkes immediately ran out, but only to return as speedily and shriek for assistance herself, im ploring a stout young fellow, named William Kirk land, " for God sake to come out, for Curtis was mar dering his wife !" Kirkland complied ; and on running into the garden he found that Curtis with his left hand had seized his wife by the collar of her dress and was forcing down her head on the other side of an iron fencing erected to part a garden from a pathway running para'lel. Holding her in this position, with the pit of her abdomen resting upon the top rail, with I:is right fist he was beating her in the most ferocious manner about the region of the lungs. With a view to separate him from the already senseless victim of his savage ferocity, Kirkland seized him by the collar of his coat from behind, but so insatiable was his brutal appetite that, retaining his hold of the unhappy woman, the brawny arm of Kirkland brought them simul taneously to the ground. Here, moreover, great difficulty was experienced in releasing the motionless woman from his grasp; and Kirkland could scarcely prevent a repeti tion of the assault while they were upon the ground. Ad ditional assistance having, however, by this time arrived, Curtis was forced to release his hold ; and the necessary restraint of several neighbours having been applied, ho was prevented from repeating his violence, while brandy and other restoratives were being applied by Mrs. Wilkes and others to his wife, with the hope of producing re-ani mation. Every attempt which kindness and ingenuity could suggest was made with this view, but without success; already the livid hue of death had spread over the unhappy woman's mutilated features. _ . Having been released from constraint, Curtis, with brutal composure had gone again into the tap-room, and was calmly proceeding to refill his pipe with tobacco, when he was told that he had better send for a surgeon, for his wife was dying. "Let her die and be d-, and a d-- good job too," was his brutal reply ; and without further care he again sat himself down to his cups perfectly sober. In the mean time the medical assistance of Mr. Alfred Clarke, surgeon, had been procured for the woman. Mr. Clarke only arrived in time to see the woman breathe her last. In less than half an hour after she had entered the White Lion she was a mutilated corpse, a victim of the murderous ferocity of her husband. The body presents marks of violence round the left eye; the immediate region of the left temple is also discoloured by a blow, and already (10 o'clock) the body is fast assuming general discolouration. Curtis is now in custody, awaiting the result of a coroner's inquisition, to be held on Monday. THE MILITARY.—We are pleased to find that a communication was yesterday made in the watch committee by the mayor, that the gallant general in the command of this district had issued a garrison order, that the soldiers on leaving their quarters to recreate themselves among the citi zens, shall not carry thick and heavy walking sticks, Seve ral caseshave occurred, when soldiers have become inebriated, and an affray taken place with the police and soldiers, the former have been most seriously injured by the latter when in the possession of such weapons. Upon a repre seutation of such conduct by his worship the mayor, to the General in command of this district, a prompt order was issued that the soldiers should be restricted to the carrying of small canes, if they were disposed to have them.— Plymouth Journal. THE MANCHESTER BOILER EXPLOSION.—The in quest in this case was resumed on Saturday afternoon. John Hartley, of Ancoats, Manchester, the maker of the boiler, was examined, and stated that t he price of it was 16s. per cwt., the end plates to be thick, and the others 5-16. It was of Thm neycroft iron, the next best to Low Moor iron. He saw the boiler working short of water ten days before the explosion, and named the fact to the engineer and to Mr. Williamson. The engineer said it was owing to a leakage; and it was agreed that the water should be let off that night and the leakage repaired, but subsequently it was deter mined to work it a short time longer, and before any repairs were done the explosion occurred. He thought the boiler would stand a pressure of 8 )lbs. to the inch, and that the explosion was caused by want of water. Christopher Ray gave evi dente that on the 25th of March he found the boiler without water, and told Egerton of it. The safety-valve also was extra weighted to the extent of albs. per squa re inch. Da vid vid Reid, a sawyer, who was he l p in g Egerton abo ut o d r. engine at the time of the explosion , de p osed t o w ater cums tances which plainly showed that t here was tried n the in the boiler, and that Egert o n knew it, for h safety valve, and only a blue flam e or heat cam e t h e o ut. Mr. Fairbairn, C.E., was next examin ed. He state d at, under all the circumstances, he had not the least doubt that. on t he part of the engineer there had been great ignorance, reck lessness, and inattention, assuming that he had a knowledge of the state of the boiler. The safety valve was of improper construction, as it might fasten by oxydation. The boiler was fed by a self-acting feeder, but it was too defective. The turning of the fly-wheel to start the engine which had been spoken of, if it were but for a revolution and a half, would cause a rush of water into the boiler upon the red hot metal, a quantity of highly e lastic steam would b e generated, and the pressure become greater than the resisting power of the plates. He conceived that there was a sufficiency of indi cating apparatus about the boiler, but that the engineer had grossly neglected to attend to it. Higgins, the man who set the boiler, was called Cu, but as he was not in attendance the inquest was again adjourned to compel his attendance, and will be resumed on Wednesday. OATH OF ABJURATION (JEws) BILL.----The fol lowing is a copy of the Bill brought in by Lord John Russell to regulate the mode of administering the oath of abjuration to persons professing the J ew i s h re li g i on :—" Wh ereas h er Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion are by law capable of being elected to serve as Members of the House of Commons, mid of holding divers offices in respect of which they are or may be required to take the oath of abjuration ; and it is expedient to direct in what manner that oath should in all cases be administered to persons professing the said religion; be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that whenever any one of her Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion shall present himself to take the said oath of abjuration the words, Upon the true faith of a Christian' shall be omitted out of the said oath in administering the same to such person; and the taking of the said oath by such person professing the Jewish religion, without the words aforesaid, in like manner as Jews are admitted to be sw ora _ to give evidence in courts of justice , shall be deemed to be a sufficient taking of the oath of abjuration." POISONING NEAR WISBECII —The proceedings in this case before the Wisbech Isle magistrates, which had been adjourned from the 22d ult. to the 24t a h, and then to mass of the 29th, were closed on Saturday.
