In particular, he observes, that the stories of conversions to the Romish faith then rife; seem like narratives of the present tour, and that the reader is almost tempted to substitute the nettles of his personal acquaintances for those of the courtiers of Charles.

London : Cocks and Co., New Burlington-street.—" This quadrille richly merits the appellation of • Great' fastened upon it— a more effective, spirit-stirring, or delightful one we never listened to. The national airs of the different countries are cleverly intro duced The finale is a combination of each, concluding with ' God save the Queen."

EQUITAnLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,000/. (incorporated ender 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ars—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each ants risik—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion iremium 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 )roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted en, 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 c t uestion, 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 anal esis 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 investiga , ion 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 Offioe, or to any of its Agents. Natianal Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire t* Both Offices.

The authorities of the above company have just issued the report of the committee of shareholders appointed at the general meeting in August, 1850, " with the view of taking into consideration with the directors, and reporting of the meeting in February, 1851, their opinion as to the future management of the affairs of the company ; and also whether, in the event of no Parliamentary enact ment of such provisions by any general law, any and which of the provisions of the Audit Bill laid before Parliament last sessisn by the representatives of the different bodies of shareholders can be properly and use fully adopted by this company and its directors." The following is the report:— "Your committee have to report that they have carefully considered, at several meetings, the important matters re ferred to them, and they have come unanimously to certain conclusions. " Before, however, stating those conclusions, and in ex planation of them, your committee have to report that the company's Act of incorporation of 1846 (the Amalgamation Act, as it has generally been termed) provided for the ma nagement of the undertaking until the meeting in February, 1851, by continuing in office, as local committees in London, Liverpool, and Manchester, the three then existing boards of directors—namely, the London and Birmingham board, of 22 ; the Grand junction bo ar d, o f 16 ; t h e Manchester and Birmingham board, of 11; in all 49 members : a central go verning board of 18 being selected out of these 49 committee men and constituted the directors of the whole undertaking.l "The Act further provided for the dissolution of these three committees at the February meeting, 1851, vesting all the executive power and duties connected with the manage ment of the entire undertaking thenceforward in the board of 18 directors, but with authority to them to appoint such sub-committees of their body as should be found needful, and with authority also to the proprietors to increase the number of directors from 1 to any other number which they should think fit. "According to the best consideration which your com mittee have been able to give to the subject, and to the con current testimony of the directors and officers of the com pany, the supervision by local directors, as regards ordinary details, thus combined by the Amalgamation Act, until February, 1551, with the other principle of general super vision and control by a central board of directors, with paid officers, each responsible for, and periodically reporting, the progress of his business in his own department, has worked conveniently for the public, and with advantage to the proprietors, and accordingly your i ommittee recommend its continuance. Having rtgard, however, to the vast extent of the undertai, g, and the consequent amount of labour necessarily cast upon the local committees as well as the board, it seems impossible that this system of management can be maintained by a board and by committees of their body limited altogether to 18 gentlemen, however well qualified for, and devoted -to, the duties reasonably to be expected from them. "In supp rt of. this view, your committee think that the proprietors need only be reminded that (as was reported to your committee by the officers of the compan3 ), committees are appointed for the working and management of the Lon don and North- Western undertaking proper, comprising 557 miles of railway and canal, with an estimated gross revenue of about 2,400,000/. per annum, and a capital expenditure of 29,000,0001., including 4,000,000/. contributed to 16 other undertakings (which comprise in the aggregate a further ex tent of 973 miles of railway and canal, with a capital expen diture of 21,500,0001.), the working and management of which demand the time and attention of the members of the direc- tion ; the Acts of Parliament making it necessary that the persons appointed to represent this company on the different boards, shall be London and North-Western directors. "This being a general description of the extent of the un dertaking to be managed, and 18 gentlemen appearing to your committee to be obviously insufficient to perform that duty, the next question was, what additional number was requisite? On the one band it seemed clear that a very large body of gentlemen, meeting for deliberation as a central or governing authority, would not be likely to perform that duty efficiently; and that, on the other hand, the number of gentlemen to form, at each of the important termini of the line and elsewhere, the needful committees, must not be a small number. " Under all these circumstances your committee have, after much consideration, come to the unanimous conclusion, and accordingly they now recommend, that at the meeting in February, 1851, it should be determined that the number of directors be increased to 30. " Should the meeting think it right to adopt this recom mendation (which it is satisfactory to your committee to be able to state accords with the opinion of the board of direct• tors), provision will the❑ have to be made for the immediate election of 15 new directors, that is to say, 12 being the num• ber by which it is proposed that the board shall be increased, and three in lieu of that number of the present board of 18 who go out of office under the provisions of the Amalgama tion Act. " And with reference to the future, your committee have decided to recommend that of the 30 directors who will con stitute the board, six shall annually retire, and that those re tirements shall be according to seniority, subject, however, to a power for the directors to substitute, by ballot, for some three of those who would otherwise thus retire, any three of the whole board. " With regard to the second part of the reference to them —the question of the adoption of certain of the provisions of the Shareholders Audit Bill of last session—your committee beg to recommend for practical adoption the following clauses of that Bill, subject to the modifications stated with refer ence to each of them, namely— " I. So much of clause 2 as provided for the appointment, at the second half-yearly meeting:in each year, of five share holders to act for the then ensuing year as an audit com mittee, whose duty it shall be to meet in the month of January in each year, in order to recommend to the ensuing half-yearly meeting in February the persons in their opinion suitable to be appointed as auditors in the place of those who at that meeting go out of office; and with a provision that no person shall be qualified to be elected or to act as a member of such audit committee, unless he be at the time of his election, and has been for the six calendar months then next immediately preceding, and continue during his year of office, the proprietor of such a number of shares or amount of stock in the undertaking as would qualify him to be a director, or if he be in the employment of the company, or the partner (in private trade) of any of the directors of or persons employed by the company, or the relative by blood (in the first degree) or the clerk of any such director or per son, or if he hold any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or be interested in any contract with the company ; and that no member of such committee shall be capable of accepting any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or of being interested in any con tract with the company, during the time he shall be a mem ber of such committee. _ _ " 2. So much of clause 5 as provided that no person shall be capable of being elected auditor who is then, or within six calendar months then next preceding has been, in the em ployment of the company or the partner (in private trade) of any of the directors of or persons employed by the com pany, or the relative by blood (in the first degree), or the clerk of any such director or person, or if he hold any other office or place of trust or profit under the company, or be in terested in any contract with the company ; and that no auditor shall be capable of accepting any other office or place of trust or profit under this company, or of being interested in any contract with the company, during the time he shall be auditor. " 3. The whole of clause 9, providing that the auditors shall, for the purposes of each half-yearly audit, from time to time, employ some well-known public accountant, who is in their opinion well acquainted with railway accounts and affairs, and wholly unconnected with and independent of the directors of, or any person employed by, the com pany, to assist the auditors in the matter of the audit; and that such public accountant shall be paid by the company such competent salary or allowance as the auditors, subject to the confirmation of the general meeting, shall consider proportioned to his duties in each case, on each occasion of audit. And, since the effect of this provision will be greatly to reduce the labours of the auditors appointed by thc.com pany, your committee beg to recommend that, in any future election, their services be acknowledged by a payment of 100/. per annum each, with a free pass over all parts of the company's lines, and available at all times during the year. " 4. So much of clause 13 as would secure the deposit by the directors, for the information of the proprietors, within the first seven days of each year, at such places as the audi tors shall suggest, of a list of such of the proprietors (with their places of residence) as are eligible for election as direc tors; such list also to be printed, and sold at a reasonable Kies to any proprietor applying for the same. 44 5. So much of:clause 15 as provides that, seven days _No te cub meeting for the election of clirecton pr auditor, '• 6. So much of clause 16 as provides that the register of shareholders, as well as stockholders, with the number and description of shares or amount of stock to which each is entitled, &tall be made up once a month, and be at all rea sfonable times open to the proprietors, so far as regards the directors, auditors, and members of the audit committee from time to time in office. "7. So much of clause 17 as provides that neither the di rectors, nor any other person, at the expense of the com pany, shall issue or distribute any appointment, or f orm o f appointment, of a proxy in anticipation of, or for use at, any general meeting of the company, unless by the authority of some previous general meeting, or by resolution of four-fifths of the board specially summoned. " And S. So much of clause 20 as would have provided that the power of re-electing directors at any meeting, at which such directors go out of office, shall never be exercised in favour of more than four of such retiring directors. " Your committee are aware that the whole retiring direc tors are legally eligible for re-election, but they recommend to the proprietors that in future elections the foregoing rules be observed. " Your committee are unwilling to conclude their report without adding their unanimous declaration that, in the course of the inquiries and investigation which they have had occasion to make for the due discharge of the duties which they undertook on behalf of the proprietors, they have had every facility and.assistance afforded to them by the directors and officers of ihe company."

Birkenhead iron steam transports was taken out of dock on Saturday, and round to the dockyard jetty, to be got ready for service with all dispatch. The crew of the Bir kenhead will live under the topgallant-forecastle, so that her capacious decks will be solely occupied by the troops she may have to carry. Birkenhead is to have a complement of fifty men, and what other mes may be required will be either made up from the riggers or from the guard-ships in harbour. Simoom screw-frigate steamer went out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday, to try her engines. She had no masts nor stores in, but she seemed to go fast.

B.—Her Illajest . ‘'s frigate Indefatigable. 50, Captain Robert Smart, under close-reefed topsails mid iopgallanteails, left on Thursday to join the fleet at Lisbon. The three midshipmen absent without I...ave were captured At Exeter and sent on board prior to departure. In con scquence of the escape of Christopher Gilbert and another marine from the ship in the Sound on Monday, all commu nication was cut off by a row guard, which kept constantly going round the frigate. She has 518 crew and supernume raries on board. The Amphitrite. 21, Captain Charles Frederick, sails on Thursday for Rio Janeiro, the Pocilic, and Behring's Straits, where she is to meet the Plover discovery ship.

She will convey Sir Emmer son 'ferment, the newly-appointed Governor of St. Helena, to that island, but will not leave until her tender, the Blood hound steamer is ready. The latter will probably be out of dock on Monday, and both will sail for the Coast of Africa in the course of next week. The Calliope, 26, continues in the Sound. Her Captain, Sir Everard Home, remains at the Royal Naval Hospital, where he is progressing favourably. Knowland, the quar ter-msster, is dead—this being the only fatality attending the capstan accident on Monday. The other sufferers are gradually recovering.

A considerable saving will be effected by the appointment of Mr. Cook, as Commander Soadv had a salary of 5001. per annum, with a residence in the Royal Arsenal, and a clerk under him at 2001. per annum. Mr. Cook has accepted the situation at 300/. per annum, without a residence; and notice has been given that the services of Mr. Ford, the present clerk, will be dispensed with in that department, so soon as an opening occurs for his promotion elsewhere.

SIR—I am a west end tradesman . some year-and-a-half back a certain nobleman unfortunately dealt with me and got into my debt, and from which there seems some doubt if I ever shalt get him out, unless the Legislature will abolish the law of privilege, under which he now treats me with contempt, and sets me at defiance, as I will at once show you. • If I proceed against him in the County Court and go to an execution against any effects he may have, I shall find myself shut out by the landlord or landlady of the house where he occupies famished apartments, and to whom I sus pect he owes a large amount of rent. An execution against his person I cannot have because of his privilege as a peer. Do you not call this a wrong without a remedy—a complete denial of justice? Begging your powerful assistance, I am, Sir, &c., AN UNPRIVILI , .GE # TRADESMAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. My attention has only to-day bee. cal.ed to a letter in your paper of Thursday evening, signed J. D , repaoach fully casting some serious charges and refl. ctions on some one of the very many young men whose engagements resider them amenable to the caprice or temper of thousands, who expect, when a p-st-ofiiee is nate bed, that their frivolous questions about letters. &c , must supersede all ether busi ness. The econ , mical method pursued by th Yost-office for the acknowledged great benefit society derives, will not admit ot employing a person solely to perform their fluty at every office in the metropolis. I suggest a method to cure the nervous and irritable temper of J. D , wbo, it appears, wanted t., be served instanter —namely, to piece him behind a counter where a tolerably good business is being carried on, and, iLdependent of his regular duties, see that he failed not to answer a continual group of inquirers (not always the most polite) in such matters as these :—"ls this letter in tin: e for the next delivery ?" " Give me a stamp, and change me half a sovereign ;" " When will this letter arrive?" " Just weigh this letter ;" " Register these five letters;" " Trouble you for a wafer," _ _ _ I think after this trial J. D. would pause before attempting to write anonymous letters calculated to prejudice the public mind against individuals placed in a situation of great trust and continual mental anxiety. laiii:si;:;(;,iiOtedient servant, NON-ARISTOCRATIC SHOPMAN. Feb. 8, 1831. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Will you permit me, through the medium of your journal, to remind your Pimlico correspondent, who com plains of the want of attention uniformly exhibited towards him at the Letter Receiving Offices, that he may easily avoid the annoyance by providing himself with postage-. stamps, the use of which greatly facilitates postal arrange ments. Your correspondent, it would appear, systematically ne glects doing this, brings upon himself great inconvenience in consequence, and thus esteems himself an injured man, and asks you to redress his grievance.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF LEICESTER -SQUARE.—A. meeting of the inhabitants of this district was held on Tues day evening at the Sabloniire Hotel, to take into considera tion Mr. Wyld's proposal for the erection of his great globe in the centre of the square, and for its improvement and ornamental arrangement. The meeting was numerously attended. The chairman briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to consider what should be done with the square, which was now a public nuisance. Mr. Wyld then lose and stated that the building he proposed to erect in the square was for the purpose of exhibition. It would be com posed of iron, wood, and glass, and as little stone should be in its construction as the official referees would allow. This building would comprise a globe representing the earth, sixty feet in diameter; and the remaining part would contain specimens, both geographical and ethnographical, of mine rals, costumes, &c. He proposed to purchase the freehold for ten years, at a cost of 3,0001. If the inhabitants, at the expiration of that time, were willing that he should con tinue, well and good ; but if not, he pledged himself to re move all the building, and convert the square into a garden. The building would nearly till the square. It was to be cir cular, with tour projections, and not more than 20 feet high. From the centre a dome, 60 teet high, would rise, enclosing the globe. The globe would be viewed from the interior, the countries being modelled in relief on the interior surface. The building would be erected in five weeks. The Chairman doubted whether there was not an act prohibiting the erec oo. should Finally,be used e a d erec tion of any building higher than the rails a the square, and cited a case within his recollection, when the watchmen were debarred from having boxes erected in the square. A great deal of discussion arose on this point, and also as to in whom lay the power of conveyance of the land, and with examine the regard to the restrictions that ci for no purpose but that of a committee was appointed ved by Mr. deeds, aid the following resolution was pea ethnteificbeuxiihdinbfti K .

MURDERS BY CUTTING A COLLIERY PIT.ROPE.--. curing the past week the police of West Bromwich were en gaged in investigating au occurrence which there I too much reason to fear will justify the heading we have given this paragaph. We allude to the circumstance.. under which two men, named Richard Grice and David Richards, and a lad fourteen years of age, named Thomas Riley. met with a premature and dreadful death. They were employed in a pit near Hill Top, belonging to what is known as Wednes bury Old Field Colliery, and in the occupation of Richard Morgan, Esq. At an early hour of the morning of Friday week they got into the skip for the purpose of descending to work, but when they had got about thirty yards down the shaft (which is 90 yards deep) the rope snapped, and the skip and its cargo fell to the bottom. The boy was killed at once, his body being absolutely shattered to pieces, while the two men Were injured in so dreadful a manner as to render it a matter of impossibility that they could survive. They lived, however, for two or three days. On the rope being examined, it was apparent beyond the least doubt that it I had been cut nearly through by some sharp instrument. Inquests on the bodies were commenced by George Hinch life, Esq., but no evidence was taken, a nd the inquiries we re _ adjourned for the purpose of fur girding information to the Home-office.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
