EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50 1 400 0 /. (Ine:om,rated under 7 and 14 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 -Moderate and equttabie Rates of Premium for each class cy rise—.l nnual iivision of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion 'remium 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 round by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Comunnies 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 anomtly should cease, and an ape roximation to the true risk b made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Preinaim for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roaehed through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been , ulliciently acted • , n, or systematically spelled. Whatever be the noininal rate, the bonus or return periodically - to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against Ines for so great a calanalty as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this cuestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Cla.sifloa don and Aver age, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Otlice will, by a constant analyst; of its own experience, from time tie titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett excess will he mule to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years.

This is far below the expected mortality, and ts 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, 1549, and the 31st of '1 ay, 1450, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop eats were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 5 . 2,9631.28. of these 12 corn{ rising 106 lives, were accepted for 15,1251. 6s. eixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,045 r., upon whicti 3201. 3i. was received by the Company in the shape oT premiums.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their businece 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 Arclibish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paresis, 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.

How few of the vis'.tors of the Great k n d U strial Exhibition Will consider how many hearts and heads and 'limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Pal ce ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind, o , v many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have, from as many different c.suses, altogether failed to complete ti .e works upon which Omit whole energies have been expended for months perhaps their whole means exhausted! The Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; but the wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties unparalleled in ike history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lessen ? Art, science, and manufactures, urnatronised and unprotected, would progress but slowly, if at all; but when the nobility and gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be achieved. Ile who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration that induced Mes , rs. E. MOSES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dre !s of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all rea , oning men that under the old system of large profits; he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs E. MOSES and SON can. with their limited pralts, out of the labour of a hundre4. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capit ;1 they can use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the industry of she country, by finding men constant work and instant payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half tine usual, and far better at that price, than has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large caultal and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices; or there very low prices for good c othnsg enable th. - 11- j sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old 'prices prevailing Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trading it was impossib'e to obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strum and good clothin_ accorefin, to their circumstances. All classes can dress well—all classes ought to dress welt. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or n7t, buy, no matter, when they have seers they will bel , eve in the beauty and extent o: a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, it not impossible, to do justice by description.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

The total t Phillip, 3,631 from Sydney. 5, 47 from Van Diemen's Land, 1,392 from Sou' h Austral a, 945 from the Cape of Good Hope, and rest from Mogadore and Buenos Ayree. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS MAY 9. There is not any change to report this week. Sales continue to a moderate extent to supply the current wants of the manufacturers. Prices are firm and stationary. LivEaroor. Wool., MAY B.—Fint wools. are very dull and unsaleable. For blanket and other low kinds there is rather more inquiry. Imports the past week are-4,615 Peruvian and Alpaca ; 2 from Shark% Bay ; 164 Alexandria ; 6 Buenos Ayres; 91 Bombay. TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have no alteration to report in the state of trade at. our cloth markets, the transactions being about the same as for some weeks pas'., but the deliveries to direct order tend to keep down the stocks in the manufacturers' hands. Prices, in consequence, remain firm. Business has been rather better in the warehouses this week, more of the wholesale buyers having been down than for several weeks past. The -foreign houses are also getting busier. BRADFORD, MAY 8. —Wool —The wool market during the week, has presented no feature of increased cheerfulness which will enable us to vary the late monotonotatone of our reports. Yarn—The yarn trade has been without any alteration, the demand and price being about the same as at the beginning of April. The attempt to-obtain- an advance - for the May con tracts has generally failed, and until a Mae active demand springs up, either for the Continent or for Lancashire, there is little chance of the spinners' position being improved. Pieces—The piece market has experienced no alteration worthy of note ; stocks are accumulating, and are in some hands very heavy. TRADE OF MANCIIESTER, MAY 8.--Tht.marhat opened rather firmer, and more deposition to purchase was mani fested, but as the ay advanced it relapsed into its previous state of depression. There was rather more doing in yarns. There was no material alteration in pieces. The sales that were effected were merely to supply immediate and pressing wants. The want of confidence . in prices that we have before noticed continue to impede business. With the exception of domestics and maddapollamas, which are rather plentiful, stocks continue light.

(From the Times.) The labours of the Committee upon the income•tax can have but one object. It will be their duty to ascertain whe ther or no the element of direct taxation is to remain per- manently incorporated with our fiscal system. Hitherto an impost of this nature has been the creature of emergency—a makeshift—an expedient. The subject has never received so much careful consideration as any single article of the tariff. Has there been a question of n layi g a differential duty upon coffee, upon su gar , upon timber7-of relaxing the ,Customs' rate chargeable upon tea or tobacco—and straight. way blue b oks are compiled, and Chancellors of the Exche quer approach the solemn theme in a comprehensive and philosophical spirit ; the nicest machinery is adjusted , the moat anxi:us diseriMinition is exercised that every j. berry, every lath, every grain, should be affected with i ts appro priate charge, and no more. No , despite of the occasional complaints of importers and consignees, have the arrange meats at the Custom-house failed in their object. Occa sional injustice may, no doubt, have been done. Defec tive systems of discrimination may for a time have pre vailed, but, en the whole, much ingenuity has been brought to bear upon the subject, and with mani fest success. But when we turn to the chapter of direct taxation we find that the very opposite course has been pursued. It is start.-ly an exaggeration to say. that had the Customs been levied upon all imported articles, simply by reference to their weight, the system could not have been more wild or unsatisfactory than the pre-ent method of exacting a per tentage deduction from all incomes without reference to their sources or their drawbacks. It could scarcely sound like the proposition of a reasonable being if any Minister should propose to throw the diamonds from Brazil and the tubs of sugar from the Antilles into the self same scale, and impose upon them an entrance duty accord ing to the bare suggestion of the register. It is more rational to compel the British subjects of the Queen to return to the assessor the precise amount of the money they can scrape to gether in the courze of a current twelvemonth, no matter how acquired, and to deduct like proportions from all their incomes? Yet this is actually the course which has been pursued in a country which, upon all commercial and fiscal questions at least, affects to stand in the very vanward of civilization, and in the middle of the nineteenth century, when all economical problems might fairly be supposed to have received their solution. Yes, so it is, the bare ukase of the Finance Minister has been accepted in place of bestowing any consideration upon the true difficulties of the case. The result is a reductio ad absurdum. If this is the best that can be made of the matter, the obvious inference is, not that we are to acquiesce in the monstrous inconsistencies of direct taxation as at present practised in this country, but that we must da without it altogether. Unless we can smooth down its in equalities we must cast from us for ever that soft pillow on which Chancellors of Exchequer love to doze throughout a financial year and to dream of a surplus. We must tell them as we tell careless and extravagant young men, that they must for the future depend'upon their t - wn resources, for the patience and sympathy of their friends are fairly at an end. We start, then, with this proposition, that the application of the theory of direct taxati In has never been officially investigated. The knowledge and experience of men versed in such matters have never been invited to the subject ; nor can we readily admit that there are any insuperable diffi culties inherent in the subject. The daily routine of an in surance office offers many more striking problems than can possibly be involved in an approximation to something like justice in the assessment of incomes for the purpose of taxa tion. The truth is, that the difficulty of levying an equitable income-tax upon the country consists in ascertaining the means of those persons who are disposed to baffle inquiry, not in the framing of four or five categories of li afility. The difficulty named is in no degree lightened, it is, ou the con trary, considerably enhanced by the present system of indis criminate levy. It is a great thing to give a man who is already predisposed to play fast and loose with the assessor a just and undeniable ground of complaint against the sys tem of taxation to which he is subjected. The affair is simply reduced to a contest of sharp wits. The Finance Minister says, " I will take all I can get." The taxpayer replies, " You shall have no help from me." Deception, if not hallowed, is at least excused. The Treasury is not re plenished and the country is demoralised. The, final result, we most fully believe, is that the tax is not so productive as it would be did anything like equity prevail in the method of its assessment. Worse than this, the minds of the people are kept in a perpetual condition of discontent and uneasiness. New o' '.aye very little sympathy is entertained for the troubles of a Minister or the embarrassments of a party. We are therefore at any moment exposed to the inconv. nience of a hotile vote upon a point on which the maintenance of our public credit depends. We have from time to time ventured to express a very strong opinion upon the sound policy of tem. porary—it may be even of permanent—submission to a cer tain amount of direct taxation in order that we may reap all the benefits of a reformed tariff. We are fully sensible that the time had arrived when amended measures had become a necessity, and direct taxation was the inevitable expedient. But here we part company with Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues. Every argument which tells in favour of direct taxation at the present period of our political and fiscal his tory bears with double force against its unjust assessment. To say that it should be maintained, is in other words to enunciate the necessity of an equitable levy. Maintained it will not be unless some fairer scheme can be devised by the Committee than the one which actually obtains. The train of consequences we are most anxious to avoid will then natu rally follow as effect follows cause. In arguing the case, we have hitherto mainly relied upon that feature in it which is the most revolting to common sense and to the ordinary feeling of justice. When a man gravely affirms that the owner in fee-simple of landed property to the value of 1,0001. per annum, and the professional man who realises a similar sum during a few precarious years of health and life, should be equally taxed, there is an end of all argument. You might as well reason with a Buddhist priest or a Japannese Jum maboo upon their peculiar theories of belief. Some of them base the propriety of the foul assssment upon the extent of moral evil already in the world. Because there is so much injustice, there ought to a little more. Others affirm that all incomes should be taxed alike, because here is question of an income-tax. It is again affirmed, end with somewhat more discretion, that even admitting the inequality of the pressure upon precarious incomes, still incomes of a more permanent nature are subject to a variety of burdens from which they are free. Over-weighting on b ath sides is the only method of obtaining final equi librium. Now, this is the argument of all others against which we would most earnestly protest, because it proceeds upon a certain show of reason. We protest against the clumsy and unphilosophical idea of perpetuating one injus tice by the introduction of another. If any bodies of our fellow subjects are really aggrieved by undue pressure under our present fiscal system, by all means let their grievances be remedied. The time has at length arrived when there must be an end of arrogant assumption on the part of Minis ters and of the vague declamation of partisans on ques tions of finance. The attention of the most practical and ex perienced men in a nation of men of business has for many y-.ars past been solely occupied in reviewing the duties upon imports. The point may be said to be disposed of as far as questions of principle are concerned, and we must now turn our anenti at elsewhere. If the landowner, the tundowner, the annuitant, are oppressed with any peculiar burden, now is the time to put in their claims and to argue its removal upon its own especial ground. We mus have done for ever with the miserable make-shift of over-taxing all classes in turn. Upon the result of the labours of the present Com mittee much will depend. If they perform their duty con scientiously, we have good hope that at length the general fiscal system of the country may be fairly reviewed and justice done to all classes of her Majesty's subjects. What has been called the harmonious injustice of the in come-tax has just been broken into, and one of its notes is now out of tune. For nine years the Greeks besieged Troy, and for nine years five schedules of enemies have waged war against the income-tax , with sc arcel y a ho p e of success. In the tenth year Troy was taken. T he wooden horse in the present instance is the surrender of the principle on which tenant-farmers are assessed to the tax. Whether owing to the variable nature of agricultural business, or to the in scrutable character of most farming accounts, it has always been deemed an utter impossibility to assess the annual pro fits of a farm in the same way as the annual profits of a pro fession or a trade. So to evade the difficulty a principle has been adored, till now with the entire concurrence of farmers, of assuming the farmer's profit to be half his rent, and taxing him threepence -halfpen n y in the pound in respect of his oc cupation. Till now, we repeat, it has always been thought that the farmer had the best of the bargain. In average times it could hardly be doubted that a tenant who paid a rent of 2501. a year to an ordinary landlord was about as well cff as a surgeon or a clergyman with 250'. a year from his profession ; but the former paid no income-tax, and the latter about 71. ss. 10d. By the same rule, a tenant whose rent was 1,0001. a year, and I who very probably kept hunters and carriages, paid only as much income-tax as the man who cleared 5001. from his profession, and who could not possibly keep more than one horse and one humble vehicle on such an income. With all their proverbial addition to grumbling, we must do tenant farmers the justice to admit that they have not complained audibly of the income-tax till the last year or two. The ar rangement being in the nature of a composition, and proceed /3g upon an assumed average, had a dark side as well as a ight side, and when the dark side began to show itself com plaints were soon heard from Schedule B. Those complaints were repeated with increasing force till they formed the sub ject of various notices in the C ommons ; and last night Sir apparently Charles Wood, frightened by the restriction of the income-tax to one year, by the approaching Committee of inquiry, and by Mr. Disraeli's intimation that the case of the tenant-farmer should not be included in the twelve-months' truce. proposed and carried a clause releasing the farmer from the terms of the compromise, now that they seem to go against him. To tax a man for his profits, whe n he has notoriously lost by the transactions a the year, is, of course, ridiculously unjust, and, thereforue, little can be said against Sir Charles's conce ssion; tax the concession cannot possibly stop here , for th e er bears far more hardly on other classes than on th bones of like Taxation, some one said the other night, is cards touch one, and the whole will come tumblingo)ouch one But that is especially true of the income-tax. l schedule, and all the others fall. If the occupier is to be exempted because he has no profits, surely the landlord has he an equal claim to consideration if if, from any cause, he has cierivedee h as received no rent, or littl or nothing from the property. Again, the new clause givs the tenant-f ro m decided advantage over all the classes assessed in Schedule D. They are bound to return the average of their a c t ua l profits, and, if they s h, aid be making extraordina r y pro fi ts in have no alternative but to t ake it into s in any one year, account in their return and pay income-tax accordingly. Ac cording to the new clause, the tenan.-farmer may always choose between the th eepence halfpenny a pound in his rent and his actual profits or absence of profits in any one year. If in one year be gained double his rent he will be content with t he principle laid down in the Act for Schedule B, and be returned at an income equal to halt his rent.

There is an inequality :,,,,-;:= far greater than that of the tenant - farmer or th e tr ad esman , ' who paid the same whether he had lost or gainei. It is that of the man who only enjoys his income for life, or as . long as he is willing and able to work for it. 11 e shall have all these pressing in at the tail of the tenant-farmer, to whom Sir Charles has shown the single piece of generosity to be found in the history of the income-tax. How long the tax will stand the universal outcry for amendment is more than we can say ; but, that outcry once raised, it is not likely to abate until the tax itself is abandoned. There is some thing ominous in the very first innovation on the Income-tax Act, always supposed tool fragile for the touch of the im prover. We have now had it three times three years, and. with the present year, one year more. flow much longer will the grateful contributors to the tax continue their acquies cence ? It is said that a large body of the local commis sioners under the Act are so painfully conscious of the con cealments and evasions practised by persons liable under . chedule I), that they have only conn.'ved under the ide i that a temporary tax did not call for a vary rigorone discharge of their duties. Eut should the tax be,tome per. eminent, or threaten a much longer duration, they are re ported to have made up their minds to call for books and papers, and institute a much closer scrutiny. 'fill such a course is adopted we have no doubt whatever that the pre sent - ax is quite as much a tax upon conscience as it is zepon profits; and that many now return the whole or the halt' of their income quite at discretion. Should such a scrutiny, however, be instituted, a rather dangerous am,:unt Of disile fection would be generated. 'I he extent to which the screw is to be applied fur the future is one of the questions reserved for next year, which may be &defy predicted to be a crisis in British finance. The year itss2 w promises to be a still m ore important epoch than 1844 no celebrated for the rade commence ment of the free. Policy, to which the income- ' tax, first laid on in that year, served as a temporary scaf folding. Ten years have elapsed.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COUNT OF (PIEEN'S BENCH, May 9. (Sitting in Banco before Lord CAMIBELL, and Justice PATTKSON, WIGIITMAN, and E.RLE REGINA V. THE PIAILISHER AND PROMIETOR Or THE " MORNING lIEXALD. In this case the Court had granted a " tale, c alling on the publisher and p r op r i etor o f the Morning Herald to sh ow cause why a cr i m i na l i n f ormat i on s h ou ld no t be filed against them for a libel published in that journal respecting Don Pacifico. Sir F. THESIGER said he now appeared on the part of the dela Allots, and wished to inform - lbe Court that the article in question, which was a letter from the correspondent of the Morning Herald in Greece, had been received on the eve of the publication of the second edition of the paper, and had been inserted without due consideration. He also wished to state that every facility bad been given by Don Pacifico for the fullest investigation into the matters referred to in the lette., and that the parties were now satisfied that, as to a considerable portion of the article, there was no foundation for the imputations which it conveyed against Don Pa cifico. They were, therefore, anxious to express their dis approbation of them and their regret that they sbould have inserted anything which occasioned him pain. They trusted that, baying made this acknowledgment, the Learned At torney-Ganeral would be willing to consent that the rule should be discharged on the payment of the costs by the defendants. The ATTORNIT-GZNEIZAT, said, the only point in the Learned Counsel's statement which he felt it necessary to remark upon was, that be seemed to limit his ackowledg ment to a considerable portion only of tne article. He knew that the article contained a good deal of comment on the political conduct of the prosecutor, of which, of course, he could not complain. Sir F. TIMMER said, what be meant was to withdraw all which affected Don Pacifico's'perstmal character, and toosay that he was satisfied that the imputations were without foundation ; but he certaiuly meant to exclude the political matters. The ArronsEy-GENERAL said, he was quite satisfied with the explanation. Don Pacifico's object iu appealing to this Court was to clear his character, and he (the Attorney- General) unlerstood that aft(-.r this investigation the de fendants were perfectly satisfied. He also added that the defendants had acted with perfect propriety in the matter. Lord CAMPBELL said, the course adopted WaS honourable to both the parties. The rule would be discharged on the payment of the costs by the defendants. must KAY v. Rolls. Th's case came before the Court upon a demurrer. The parties are well-known publishers, and the action was brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to recover damages for the infringement of the plaintiffs copyright is certain works of Washington Irving, the well-known Ameri can writer. It appeared on the record that these works were originally published in England by the plaintiff, who had purchased the copyright of the author; and the substantial ques: ion now raised was, whether an English publisher, who purchased the copyright of a work of a foreign author, and published the work in this country, could maintain an ac tion for an infringement of his copyright ; or, in other words, whether he had any copyright. In the case of "Cocks v. Purday" the Court of Common Pleas had decided in ac cordance with the plaintiff's claim ; and this Court, in the case of" Boosey r. Davidson," had at about the same time come to a similar conclusion; but both these decisions had since been overruled by the Court of Exchequer, in the case of " Boosey v. Purday." Sir F. KELLY, in support of the demurrer, after reviewing the history of the law of copyright and the decided cases, said, that as the law of England aforded protection to the lives, liberties, property, and even character of foreigners, he was utterly unable to comprehend upon what principle it was that they were net to be protected in the property which they had in these fruits of their intellect. It was said by the Court of Exchequer that it must be presumed that the Legislature intended to protect the property of Bri tish authors only in their writings, but there was nothing in any of the statutes which tended to support that presump tion. On the contrary, the.otiject of those statutes was de clared to be the encouragement of learning, which would be prom,:ted as much by the protection of the works of foreigners published in this country as by the protection of the works of British subjects. He admitted that if the works had been first published abroad they would not be entitled to protection here. Mr. WILLES, who appeared in support of the defendant's plea, said he understood that the fact was that several, if not all of the works now in question, had been published in the first in,tanee in America. Ile wished, therefore, to be allowed to mend his plea, in order that the defendant's case might be placed on the record. Sir F. KELLY said, of course he could not make any op position to that application. Lord CAMPBELL said, if the Learned Counsel applied for leave to amend, he could do so on the usual terms (payment of costs). Mr. WILLES said he would amend accordingly. THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.
