Bonnetta went out about the same time, but put back is the after. noon, the weather having become squally, and the wind more to the westward. _ Lively lighter, Harlfield master, sailed to-day with vic tualling stores for Deptford. One of those accidents so common at this port, and which nearly proved fatal to several persons, happened here yester day. One of the dockyard boats, with about 15 or 16 joiners, left the yard in the morning to work on two ships in ordi nary. They left the first part (four in number) on board the first ship, and then proceeded to the next; but when pass ing one of the large ships to leeward, and when just open►ng her, a sudden puff came off and the sheet belaid (the old story)—over she went, and all hands were overboard. For tunately they were seen, and several boats put off to their, assistance and picked them all up, but not before some of them were greatly exhausted. CNATHAm, MAncli 27.—Commander Morrill took up his commission this morning for the Boscawen, ordinary guard ship. Tile following vessels at Sheerness are ordered to be bro ken up at this port, viz. :—Viper brigantine; Rose brig; and Thunder surveying-vessel. The two former arrived at Chat. ham yesterday afternoon. The Pearl sloop is ordered to be broken up at this port. Euryalus, 50 guns, is ordered to be built fora screw ship at this poi t. The Isis, 44, having been opened and surveyed to ascertain her condition, is ordered to be, repaired. Yesterday forenoon a serious accident happened to a daughter of Mr. Willis Miller, of Ordnance-place, Chatham, aged - seven years. The child was at play in the mill on the stage which surrounds it, and at that instant the sweeps were set in motion, when one of them struck her on the back part of the head and fractured her skull in a moat dreadful manner. Seven pieces of the skull have been taken . out of the head, and the little sufferer lies in a most dangerous state. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—By letters from India to-day, we learn the Lily,l2, Commander Bedford; will probably be sent home, a judicial investigation being likely, i to ensue re lative to certain seamen of her crew having beau e landed at various places against their will. Commander St. Leger and all the officers of the late steam sloop Flamer, except the First-Lieutenant and clerk in charge, are now gone to Hasler Hospital, invalided, on ac count of the illness contracted in their fatiguing efforts to save ship and fittings. The Argus new steam-sloop, was docked yesterday to be coppered.

The year 1846 produced a consumption of 2.6,710,8911 gallons. Between 1846 and 1847 there is a demsese .1a favour of the latter, the consumptien•suddenly falling to 23,968,782. There its steady rise after , that until Isso. The return from which we extract tbese figures does not include foreign spirits entered for hom(eeonsurep tion. We find by the Board of Trade returns that Lhe number of gallons of brandy and Geneva entered la 1848 was 1,633,322 gallons, of which Geneva figures in the small proportion 0123,765 gallons; in 4849,1,214,759 gallons, of which 26,958 Geneva ; in 1850, 1,889,316, of which 28,273 Geneva. Thus the consumption for the three years ending 1850, was as follows:-19411, 26.822,751 gallons; 1849, 28,216,633; 1850 , 2 8,664,107. The average increase in the amount of spirits am sumed in England is not such as to induce the belief that individual consumption is greater than of old. Is is a known fact that the tendency has been hitherto in favour of a diminution in the consumption, when in crease of population is taken into account; and the re turn before us would, doubtless, carry out the previous rule, were the census returns, now in progress, pub fished. .BORNE MAILS. 4.11 a are sent front the CAeners4 Peet-plot the morning--dispatch:) ;When made up,in From what; PLACES.

The return shows that the quantity of spirits dis tilled from a mixture of corn and malt is about two thirds greater on an average than that•of spirits dis tilled from malt alone. This is owing to a dsoided difference visible in the raising of the duties. Pura malt spirits pay a duty per gallon of 7s. 10 l.; so does also spirit made from corn. and malt or Geer- idgredientsr but, in addition to this . duty, there is a duty - me mitt of Is. 4d. per gallon, which corn does not pay, whieir spa dera pure malt spirit" dears'.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—On Saturday last a very interesting lecture was delivered at this inztitu tion on the cultivation of flax by Thomas Beale Browne, Esq., who, from his position in the agricultural world as one of the largest flax growers in this country, is of some import ance. His observations were confined very judiciously to the advantages of employing land for this purpose, and he showed clearly that much of the surplus labouring population might reap benefits from which the mere routine of general agricul ture could not hold out hopes. The lecturer produced Nome very beautiful specimens of fabrics kindly furnished by Messrs. Stour and Co., of Cheapside, and it was manifest that not only may we expect from its general cultivation that the English grower will be enabled to furnish material for the most delicate manufactures, but that we soon shall be quite independent of Belgium and other foreign countries for an ample supply, thereby giving employment to labourers who have now to look only to the poor-rates for subsistence. To employ a knowledge of -the advantages of flax-growing in this country lectures are daily delivered byMr. Pepper on the subject in which he explains the different methods for adapt ing it to the purpose of general utility. We cannot with hold our meed of praise to Mr. Browne for his philanthropic spirit in this cause, which cannot but be of high importance to the nation. PORTLAND BREAKWATER.—There are at present engaged on the Breakwater works at Portland about 120 men, exclusive of convicts, of whom there are some hundreds. The contractor has yet to construct upwards of 1,000 feet of this stupendous undertaking. Some of the workmen are suspended on a small seat only a few feet from the water, which foams beneath them. Although but from 1,600 to 1,700 feet is constructed, the work is felt by the shipping in stormy weather to carry the sea off considerably. RATHER OVERDOING IT.—During the Gordon riots it was essential for the safety of all good Protestants that they should chalk on their doors "No Popery." Grimaldi's father being alarmed, and being at the same time desirous of making assurance doubly sure," and giving no offence, waited until the nob approached, and then seizing some chalk scrawled up, "Gentlemens, dere is no religion at all in dis house." GENERAL COMMISSION, SHIP LOAN, AND INSU RANCE COMPANY.—On Monday the first meeting to settle the list of contributories brought in by Mr. Hutton, the official manager, was held before his Honour Sir William Horne. Messrs. Maples and Pearce appeared for the official manager, and stated that the company was established in 1e46, for the general purposes of marine assurance, but became embar rassed in 1818. Mr. Patteson, the solicitor to the company, on being called on to produce the deed, declined to dojo, unless the lien he alleged lee had on it was first paid. ,His Honour said he could not compel him, but directed the,pl6• cial manager to appeal to the court upon the question. Se veral alleged shareholders, on being called, deposed that the signatures of their names to the deed were forgeries, and the attesting witnesses to the deed failing to refute this, their cases were directed to stand over. Mr. J. L. Burnand, one of the attesting witnesses and a director, was placed on the list for 350 shares. The case of Mr. Dunn, the barrister, as tranbferree of 30 shares, was adjourned. DARING BURGLARY IN NEWCASTLE. — EarIy on Thursday morning, one of the most daring burglaries ever heard of in Newcastle was committed at Mr. Walter's. b, Strawberry-place, at the foot of St. James's-street. At one o'clo:k in the morning, his housekeeper, who slept in the front of the house, heard the smashing of the window below, and she aroused her master. They procured a light and went down stairs but as the parlour door was locked, and doubly b o lted outside, the thieves had an opportunity of escaping by the window before they could enter. The old gentleman rushed into the street, and sprang a rattle which he kept in the house. Several of the neighbours came to his assistance, and on examining the room it was discovered that the chif fonier had been burst open, and a box containing about 41. had been taken away. The thieves had effected an entrance by breaking the panel of the shutter with a crow-bar, and then removing a pane of glass, but finding they conld net , then, in consequence of the fastenings, get the window open, the crow-bar was put in at the bottom and t how indow wrenched up. ADULTERATION OF MUSTARD.—The Lancet cow - tinuee its exposures of the adulteration practised in articles of food. Of 42 samples `of mustard procured from vari ous wholesale and retail dealers in the metropolis, and submitted to examination, the whole were found to be adulterated, and in every case the adulteration was the same in kind, varying only in degree, and consisted in the admixture of genuine mustard with immense quantities of wheaten dour, highly coloured with turmeric. The conclusion to which the writ er in the Lancet arrives is , that genuine mustard is scarcely ever to be obtained, whatever be the price paid for it. PLYMOUTH, ninon 24.—Two large rrew st eam _ s hip s , three-masted, and apparently from foreig n ports, were o b serv ed at eleven o'clock this morning, seven miles south of the Eddystone, steering up Channel, with studding saile'set alow and aloft.

SIR S It is with great satisfaction that I observe in your paper of the 18th instant a paragraph commenting upon the impure metal used by some dentists for the construction of mouth-plates, to which artificial teeth are affixed. It is an evil of which I have' long been aware, and greatly desirous of seeing remedied, inasmuch as I am constantly consulted by persons suffering from that very cause, and have in my possession many specimens which have been left with me by those to whom I have supplied pure gold, the only metal that should ever be used for dental purposes. With regard to the proposed remedy, I some years since communicated with the Goldsmiths' Company upon the sub ject, but do not find they possess any puwer to enforce the adoption of a standard quality unless assisted by a legisla lative enactment. In the meantime the public, by the exercise of its own reason and discretion, may ao far to pre tect itself, for it cannot reasonably expect to obtain the pre cious metal at the merely nominal prices advertised by the low-priced dentists. Your observations, however, show your care for the public health, and your desire, as watchful guardians of their inte rests, to expose imposition, in whatever shape it may present itself; and, as such, deserves not only the thanks of that public, but of every respectable member of the profession. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. 11. MOGGRIDGE, Surgeon-Dentist. 13, Old Burlington-street, Bond-street, March 21, 1851. STATUE OF THE LATE GEORGE STEPHENSON.-It is perhaps not generally known that some years since a large sum was appropriated by the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester and Grand Junction Railways for the purpose of erecting a statue of the late George Stephenson. The commission was given to John Gibson, who has now com pleted the statue, which has either arrived or is on its way to this country. The directors of the London and North Western Railway, into which the two former railways have merged, are desirous that the statue should be placed in St. George's-hall, Liverpool. On Friday Messrs. H. Booth and C. Lawrence, on the part of the railway directors, met the St. George's Hall committee, for the purpose of determining the site where the statue should be placed. After looking through the building two positions appeared especially eli gible— either the northern entrance or the south vestibule entering from 'he southern portico. It was finally determined that, as Mr. Gibson will be here in the course of the sum mer, his opinion should be taken before coming to any con clusion. The statue will be exhibited at the forthcoming exhibition of the Royal Academy. It is in a sitting posture, of the heroic size, and is very highly spoken of as a work of art. —Liverpool Paper.

POISONING NEAR WISBECH.—On Saturday last, Ann Overment was brought before the Isle of Ely magis trates at Wisbech, charged with the wilful murder of her mistress, Mrs. John Dearlove, of Leverington, by mixing arsenic in a pudding, of which her mistress ate and died on the 13th inst. The charge was brought by Captain Foster, superintendent of the Isle police force. It appeared that after Mrs. Dearlove had made the pudding, she, with ano ther servant, went up stairs, and left the . pudding in charge of the accused, who tied it up, placed it in the pot. and re mained in the kitchen all the morning. She was the only person there, except a man who came in for beer, before Mrs. Dearlove went up stairs. When the servants' dinner was served she, contrary to her invariable custom, did not eat any po • tatoes These had been boiled in the same pot with the pudding. The men, however, ate some, and were made very ill. The food and poison vomited by Mrs. Dearlove ' and removed by the girl, had been concealed; and when a neighbour, Mrs. Bond, came into the death-room, just after Mrs. Dearlove had died, accused said , " She is quite dea d! But it's not the first sudden death that has happened ; but su ppose I shall get all the blame." The day before murder, after the cold water had been thrown over _the h would not change her clothes, but remained wet, and eslksedhe about all day; and to one of the men she made use of a coarse expression, accompanied with a n oat h that she would physic her mistress f or it.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Viet. cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era—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 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 goached 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 less 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 Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tip.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. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at as. per cent, without the Average Clause.

Sxn,—lt is to be hoTaedtile:Clerll of the weather" will give us, poor mortals, during the ensuing week, a little less of the cataract and water-spout diversion, that has anything but diverted the sporting community during the last fortnight. I perceive this morning, that the quicksilvery, not the flying Mercury, has condescended, unlike certain official persons in " another place," to rise in its place, and announce in its own peculiar silent language, that its budget, for some little time to come, will be of a more sunshiny, heart-cheering nature than the wooden one submi'ted to the public some time since in the before-mentioned " other place ;" but yet it would probably be somewhat of the mixed wind-and-watery class. The course at Northampton, as at Warwick, was in a most disgusting state, it was a perfect slough; in some parts where the water had settled, it was eight or nine inches deep in a nice pudding mixture, which, of course, put trials of speed out of the question ; the consequence was that the heavy weights were bowled over in almost every instance, and the strongest and gamest horses the winners of every race. The gelding by Orlando, out of Insurance, now called King Charming, being one of the stoutest animals at Northampton, not only carried off the Trial Stakes on the first day from Peep-o'-day Boy, Recruit, The Swede, and The Reaper, but yesterday made mincemeat of Musician and Harpsichord for the Delapre Stakes, and Aristos (second, defeated a neck), Panope, Bor neo, Nutmeg, and Doubt for the Cup, a remarkably cre ditable performance ; he is a fine slapping animal, and can stay any distance. My judgment was completely floored for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes; the winner (Valen tine), a moderately strong horse, with next to nothing on his back, I thought, like nearly everybody else, was held safe by Legerdemain and St. gosalia ; however, my calculations wpre all, askew,_ my fancy couple getting into difficulties before they reached the distance. In my analysis of the Handicap, in Note N o . 8, I remar k e d, concern i n g the win ner, that Valentine, at 4st 91b, ran fourth to Sauter-le- Cpnpe, 6st 81b, for the last Epeonl Autumn Handicap, then 3 yrs old, with a slight addition of age, and only Est llb on his back, he'll do very well if he can manage to run into the same position again ;" the state of the ground, however, enabled him to figure much better than I expected. If my judgment was capsized on the handicap, I made amends in the couple of two-years-old stakes; about the first, called the Triennial, I observed in my last note, that "Mr. Greville's Frantic, a well-bred horse, and a dangerous one to be against for whatever he may be intended for," was " a foregone conclu swn ;" so it turned out, for with:the race in hand at the dis tance, Nat t•ok him past the post a clever half-length from France; Ambrose (of whom I said, " Lord Exeter has a re • markably fine animal among the entries (Ambrose), which must not be despised") beaten a head for second place, Con vulsion stalled of. Ambrose also ran second to the now re doubtable Elcot for the Althorpe Park Stakes, the latter, fiowever, won easily, beating the large number of 16 starters ; the favourites (The Greek and Hetman Platoff filly) were nowhere! • My remarks concerning them were verified to the letter; I observed, " the Hetman Platoff filly, sup ported for a very heavy sum in the City, I cannot fancy;" that the Greek was " INFERIOR to others in the race," and that, though "considered a certainty by the stable and a great por tion of the sporting public, I will venture to assert that he will not be nearer than third; there are several horses in the race good enough to beat him." I gave the race to Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and Elcot, the two first named ran home fourth and fifth, and Elcot was the winner; about the latter, in my last Note, I remarked—" Mr. Clarke's Elcot may astonish the natives, I should say' The Ring;' the Marl boro' Buck, from the same stable, distinguished himself by winning the only stake lie ran for last year; and Elcot, quite equal to what his stable-companion was when he accomplished the aforesaid victory, might do something notable at Northamp ton on Thuriday ; mark that !" This horse is entered for several stakes, and is a dangerous nag to be against for any. I expected on e of the four light-weights, at the bottom of the handicap for Lord Spencer's Plate, would turn up the trump card, if Visite missed the mark, but gave no definite decision on this race, more than stating that the trio of cracks would be beaten. The ensuing week boasts of three meetings, concerning whom I now intend to skim the cream, merely glancing at them for the present; but, as far as regards the most important, at Epsom, will re turn to the subject next week. At Croxton Park there are only three stakes of any note that I shall touch upon; on Tuesday, Oleander ought to win the Belvoir Castle Stakes, but, as he may not run for it, Theseus or the colt by Dromedary may accomplish the feat in his ab sence. For the Granby Handicap, that continually worked horse Clothworker, with the top weight list 101 b up, is looked upon as the victor; I cannot discover anything to beat him, or that even stands a chance of doing so, with the exception of General Sale, 5 yrs, lOst 71b, and Bushranger, 4 yrs, 11st Ilb. The decision for the Gold Cup on Wednes day will be materially influenced by the result of the Granby, as pretty nearly the same horses figure in both. At Cat terick Bridge, Dawson's stable, as usual, is in immense force, but it is not at all unlikely Scott will also come out strong; the two stables in conjunction with Peck's and Fobert's will probably carry off three-fourths of the stakes. I shall go for ChBntrey and Fleur de Seine for the Revival Handicap ; the Italian for the First Triennial (The Knight of Avenel, Cyprus and Pitsford are also entered for this stake); Entre-nous for the Second Triennial (Cnteus, Sunrise, Presto, and Confidence also figure among the en tries) ; Cleveland and Claverhonse are said to be good things for the Third Triennal ; Paquette for the Filly Stakes; Uralia or Evadne for the Shorts; Entre-nous and Leading Article first and second for the Claret Stakes; and Burndale and Cleveland may possibly occupy the same places for the Champagne Stakes. Before closing this epistle a few words on the Epsom events will not be amiss. For the Two years-old Stakes my fancy, or judgment, which you will, leads me to select Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and the Old Lad, as the best of the twenty-one nominations; if the ground is in good order on the day, they stand in my estimation as I have placed them, if it is not, reverse them. For the City and Suburban Handicap I cannot see why the couple of feather-weights and Theorem should not be backed, as well as Tightwaist and Windhound. For the Metropolitan Handicap I remain of the same opi nion as expressed in Note No. 10 ; Vatican and Vampyre, if meant, will be somewhere about the mark; and the trio of light-weights, Cnzus, Sunrise, and :Hesse-Homburg, will, or ought, to send forth the winner !
