It says:-- “ Do you think these men triflers or culpable who re fuse to join a Ministry without being informed as to the Without theopuptroeeh knowingof a whfoorremiidta was formidable crisis, pretended nature of the services which may be expected at their hands ; thewhat blindnessrms coulde of those t b h e os s e n sufficiently tlys should, strong to characteri s e bind themselves conduct them?" ocu:Tr: sahteeittiuP.etei:oynesn m g th i u v es e t s qbe t ee h ir e tei f vo o in l s following as i l n nB g os,2t a en i d t c s wopnersostgrietyuat:mionm yes, me the rt 3—t We sum up in two words the whole programme of not be violated.

SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET, WITH A GLANCE AT MALTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—The events decided on the Heath yesterday bore but lightly on their relatives in the womb of time, the only races requiring notice being those for the Claret and 50 Sovs. Stakes. For the former, as I pre dicted, Nutshell beat the misnamed William the Con queror easily; and for the latter, Lord Exeter's Rein deer, Bst 11b, beat Hurry-Scurry, 7st 101 b, cleverly; Christina, 7st bib, beaten off. The betting on the Heath bore some resemblance to that in town yesterday morning, but, on the wholo, was more pregnant with change. For the Chester Cup it was a race for the premiership between Rhesus, Black Doctor, and Mon tague, 10 to 1 being the figure of each; Russ borough came with a rush, and left off at 17 to 1; Woolwich, Knight of Avenel, The Italian, and several of the outsiders were much talked about, but little or nothing done. The 2,000 Guineas betting was remarkable for the decline of Grecian to 6 to 4, and of the Mountain Sylph colt to 5 to 1; Newminster steady at 4 to 1, takers; and several inquiries after Confessor and Balsamo, but no price named. Grecian looks un commonly unsteady for the Derby; and, on the other hand, The Prime Minister, Teddington, Marlboro' Buck, and Newminster rule very steady, at the respective odds of 6,8, 12, and 13 to 1. The race for the Port Stakes to-day, although said to sport four starters, will be be tween the stables of Kent and Fobert, and ought to be won by the former; but, as I remarked yesterday, " it would not surprise me to find The Knight the winner!" Should he accomplish the task satisfactorily, look to lam for the " Coop" of Chester, for be and The Italian, in the absence of Lady Evelyn, I should hold especially dangerous, more so than any other of the present fa vourites, always excepting the game old Woolwich. Melton puts forth its solitary claim to the attention of the sporting world next(Tuesday and Wednesday) week. It boasts a very respectable " bill of fare " for a second rate provincial meeting, consisting of three good stakes each day, independent of some smaller fry. Scott will walk off with the Two Years Old Stakes; most probably with the Hetman Platoff filly ; the King of Trumps reads the next best on paper. There is also entered for this stake—l give it on the authority of a clever fisher in the stream of judgment—a candidate for Derby honours next year with superior pretensions, to wit, Hyacinth, by Bay Middleton, out of Snowdrop, who, I presume, will not be pulled out for such a trivial stake as this. The Malton Handicap seems destined to fall, like the former stake, into the clutches of the great Melton Stable, pos sibly with Presto, 3 yrs, sst 71b, or Mulgrave, 4 yrs, 7st 51b. Unity, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, is considered their principal opponent, but I cannot perceive bow this mare is to give Presto 101bs, or the Little Fawn 171bs, and receive but 161bs for the year of Mulgrave; she *zay do the deed, but if she does bhe's a clipper, and no mistake, at least for a handicap. I presume Nancy will carry " The Claret" off for Mr. Lister. The Convivial Handicap will probably lay between the Exotic filly, 4 yrs, 7st 61b, Madame Wharton, 3 yrs, sst 21b, and the colt by Prince Caradoc; Madame for choice. The Tallyho Handicap and Walham Cup are for gen tlemen riders, and therefore not touchable by your hum ble servant. The following is the state of the market this morning up to 12 o'clock:—Malton Handicap -4 to 1 agst Presto; 9to 2 agst Unity. Convivial Handicap —3 to 1 agst colt by Prince Caradoc. 2,000 Guineas -7 to 4 agst Grecian, 7 to 2 agst Newminster, 5 to 1 agst Mountain Sylph colt, Bto 1 agst Confessor. 1,000 Guineas-5 to 2 agst Iris. Chester Cap-10 to lon the field, 15 to 1 each, The Knight of Avenel, Russbo rough, and The Italian. Derby-13 to 2 'agst The Prime Minister, Bto 1 each Teddington and Grecian, the latter offered; 13 to 1 agst Marlborough Buck, 14 to 1 agst Newminster, 18 to 1 agst Constellation; no price quoted agst Mountain Sylph colt, but 16 to 1 might have been had to a sum! Oaks-6 to 1 agst Payment; 7 to 1 agst Iris; 8 to 1 agst Aphrodite. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. April 11, 1851. 2 I I Perma .,; ~,; Annual Policy Bonus in vent Re- Age.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0 0 1 . (Incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and eqrtitable 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 proached 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 tree 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 aett 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.

It is impossible to deny that the effect of free trade is to re duce the price of everything, to lessen the profits on all kinds of deal ing and manufacturing, much to the injury of all those who made no provision for the change, and greatly to the advantage of all those who anticipated the fall. by adopting the system of buying largely at the cheapest Markets, and contenting themselves with small profits. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have conducted their immense Clothing and Outfitting Establishments upon this system for some years, sharing with the public the savings which their immense capital enables them to effect in their purchases, and contenting themselves with uniform but exceedingly small profits, by which system the best articles in every department - of dress reach the public at a price which in many instances scarcely equals the amount a purchaser would have to pay for the material. The fact is, the price of cloth, which at the manufactory is worth 15/., may become 201. in the wholesale warehouse, 251. in the retail, and be sold at the rate of 351. before it reaches the tailor, Ns ho has still to get his living profit. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON arrest the price at the maker's, buy even cheaper than the first price by taking large quantities, and buying cash, and the public have the benefit of their savings. The system adopted by E. MOSES and SON has always been the same; their goods are marked with the lowest price that can be taken, and this is never varied. Whether a ladies' cloak be 20a. or 305., the one is as well worth the price charged as the other ; the gentleman's coat at 505. is as cheap at that price as the one is at 30s. and it is not too much to assert the lower priced articles are far better, both in material and workmanship, than can be procured elsewhere, or than any one would believe until inspected, while the higher priced articles for ladies, gentlemen, and children equal the very best that can be had at any cost, of the so-called fashionable tradesmen, for Messrs. E. MOSES and SON yield to no one in their command of the finest material that money can purchase, employing the best workmen in the trade, securing the first artistes in cutting out and superintending the work to the finish.

The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re nova lof premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom.

BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 10.—At Gloucester and Wor cester markets on the stb English wheat was held for an advance of is to 2s per quarter, but buyers submitted to higher rates with extreme reluctance. Barley still scarce, but less inquired for. Oats is good demand, and 6d per quarter higher. Beans and peas unaltered in value. During the present week few transactions in wheat are reported, and prices of all kinds are nominally the same as previously. Barley is generally held for prices which consumers will only pay on the most limited quantities. Oats are saleable at an improvement of 6d per quarter. Beans only taken in retail, but all kinds are fully as dear.

MONEY MARKET—The quotation cf gold at Paris is about 3 per mille discount, axording to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.10 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent. . dearer in Paris than London. By avices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 4251 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.51; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13.5:„ b follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London titan in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and tie par of exchange between England and America being IC9 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominal y 0.92 per cent. in favour of England; and after making allowance for differ ence of interest and charges of transpo7t, the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ALTERATION OF THE PATENT-LAWiLA meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, in the Town-hall, Manches ter, of the members of an association recenCy . formed in that town for the purpose of procuring an alteration of the law regulating the granting of patents; Mr. Win. Fairbairn, the eminent engineer, presided. The proceedings were confined to the passing of a petition.(asking Parliament for a sufficient alteration of the patent-laws), which is to be placed in the hands of Lord Brougham for presentation in the Lords, and of Mr. M. Gibson for presentation in the Commons; the local ;Members being requested to support its prayer. The chairman objected to the sum. of 1401., named in Lord Brougham's Bill, as being so large that it would prevent many inventors among the artisan class from bringing out valuable improvements, and the decided feeling of the meet ing was that 101. would be quite sufficient as a first payment. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A dangerous Case of Erysi pelas, attended with Swelling and Inflammation, cured by Hol loway's Pills and Ointment.—Extract of a letter, dated East Kiel, Spilsby, Lincolnshire, October 8, 1845 :—" I beg to an nounce to you a most wonderful care wrought upon myself by your pills and ointment. I had a very severe attack of erysi pelas in my right foot and ankle, with swelling and inflamma tion to an alarming extent. I was unable to move without the assistance of crutches. I consulted an eminent physician to no purpose. However, in less than two weeks, by the use of your ointment and pills, I was cured, to the surprise of all who knew me.

TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, "SECOND LOVE; on, BEAUTY AND INTELLECT."--The talented authoress of these volumes (says the John Bull) need not to have placed her name on the title page. Without it every reader would at once have recognised the clever caricaturist of social life, whose pen pursues with relentless severity the foibles of that mingled crowd which constitutes what is technically termed society. In the midst of all the false sentiment which she so unmercifully puts into the pillory, she has, how ever, drawn one character of surpassing excellence—that of Fredrika. But if the lofty style of Fredrika's moral and in tellectual being casts all the other women of the story into the shade, we can scarcely say less for the hero. lie has, indeed, his faults, but they are the faults of an ardent and affectionate heart; and the resolute self-denial to which he dooms himself whenever a conflict between duty and inclina tion arises—one moment of weakness excepted—narks the true nobility of his soul. We do not question the exceeding cleverness of the portraiture which Mrs. Trollope has sketched forth under the name of the Rev. Mr. Selcroft, but we are bound to say that we doubt the existence of an ori ginal of which this could be considered a likeness. Mr. 'Pegg-Prosser, the Member for the county of llereford, assures us that there is no foundation for the re port which has been current for some days, that he has ,joigea the church of gome.

La Muta di Portici (better known in this country as Masaniello), the production of which, at the Acad6mie Royal, in Paris, in the year 1828, raised Auber, then comparatively unknown, at once to the very highest rank among European composers, was produced here it s original evening, in a style superior even to that of original production, and with a cast, in some respects, stronger than any that has been hitherto given to it. As a proof of this we at once cite the Fenella of Mademoiselle Monti, which is as far beyond that of any other artiste who has yet appeared in the character as genius is beyond mere talent. The advent of Mademoiselle Monti is an epoch in art. When in repose, her exquisitely-chiselled yet most ex pressive features, and her faultless form, give to her the appearance of the original of one of those statues created by the genius of ancient Greece, but when those exquisitely impressive features become mobile and depict every variety and intensity of expression, when that form becomes instinct as it were with passion, and the dumb girl by looks and gestures tells that which neither words nor even music could express so well, then it is that we feel compelled to pay homage to the highest genius, chastened and brought to perfection by the highest art, then it is that we feel that Fenella has never been acted before, then it is that we hail Mademoiselle Monti as the greatest and most original poet of expression who has ever yet ap peared, and as one whose mute eloquence it is as im possible to describe in language as it would be to imi tate it. Never hays we thoroughly comprehended the agony of Fenella, until last evening, and what words, or even what music could so harrow up the soul as her mute description of her story to Elvira, her heart broken confession to Masaniello, and the terrible con flict of contending passions, when Alphonso and Elvira appeal to her to save them ; and she yields at length to the supplication of Elvira, what again could bo more exquisitely and beautifully touching than her exhibition of child-like joy at the triumph of Masaniello; every pose was a study for the sculptor—every change of countenance a study for the painter. Of Mademoiselle Monti we can truly say— " Her like has ne'er been seen." Mademoiselle Monti's, however, was not the only first appearance of the evening. Signor Pardini, from the Berlin Opera, made his debut as Masaniello, and a more suc cessful debiit we have seldom before witnessed. His voice is a tenor of considerable power, and great flexibility, and capable of great expression; it is highly cultivated and completely under command. Signor Pardini has rarely recourse to the falsetto notes ; his performance of the Barcarole created quite an en thusiasm; his acting was fine—his singing superb. The Barcarole was re-demanded and repeated, with, if possible, increased effect; then followed the magnificent duet with Pietro, which has never in our remembrance been more finely sung than it was last evening by Pardini and Massol, and which was also re demanded. The sleep song in the fourth act was given with great taste, and the concluding mad scene was very finely rendered, the snatches from the Barca role being given with exquisite feeling. Of Massol's Pietro:it is a work of supererogation to speak, he Lifer and away the greatest, we might be almost justified in say ing, he is the only Pietro at present on the stage. Madame Fiorentini sang and acted Elvira exquisitely ; she looked charmingly, and in her representation of the character she never for one moment forgot that Elvira was a Princess. Her rendering of the great aria in the first act was a model of expression and tenderness, and as a piece of vocalization it was faultless. Signor Scotti, also a debutant, was the Alfonso. He promises to be a useful addition to the corps. The ballet department of her Majesty's Theatre has always been unapproachable, and never have the Guracho and the Tarantella been so ad mirably performed in this country as they wore last evening; in the latter Ferraris appeared. The choruses were superbly rendered, and the overture was encored. The scenery was beautiful, and the last scene of the eruption was a perfect marvel of scenic effect. The groupings were in exquisite taste. All the artistes were called on at the conclusion. .NEW FOREST. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DESTRUCTION OF NINE HORSES, FIVE RICKS OF CORN, &c., ny FlRE.—Between six and seven o'clock on Mon day evening, as Mr. Chaney, of Stanwood Farm, was giving some instructions to one of his men about the next day's work (all the rest bad left the promises), he noticed a light in the barn. Fearing the worst, he ran to the house for the key; on opening the barn-door he found the whole was is a blaze. There was a fresh wind from the north-east, which carried the flames to the stables and ricks. The whole of the former, with eight horses and three fat oxen, were consumed; the barn, with sixty quarters of corn, five ricks of corn, ten pigs, nearly 200 head of poultry, a vast quantity of farming implements, &c. The granary, though in the midst of the flames, escaped, as did four ricks and the farm-house, but the furniture was much injured by removal. It is much feared that the fire was not accidental. The labourers looked on with apathy; some, indeed, stole a barrel of beer, and cut slices from the burning bullocks, and al- most cannibal-like enjoyed themselves. Six policemen have been on the premises since the fire. The whole country for miles round was lit up by the flames. The firo was distinctly seen from the Isle of Wight. Stanswood Farm is about one mile from the shore of the Solent, which runs between the Isle of Wigbt and the mainland, and is directly opposite Dottens Farm, near West Cowes, from which, _from its elevated situation, the ruins can be distinctly seen. The dividend declared yesterday at the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company was at the rate of 2/. per share, free of income-tax, for the last six months of the year 1850. The report and accounts, which entered into the detail of operations, were received in a very gratifying manner by the shareholders, and the only point that elicited the least disapproval was in relation to a discretionary power accorded to the directors of assisting in a pecuniary sense the promoters of the Panama route. The great majority of the mee ting was, h o wever, in favour o f t h e report in its entirety, and it was therefore adopted. Mr. Ridgway was the sole speaker, and, in addition to oth er quest i ons, alluded to the desirableness of the company confining its attention to steam navigation, and not mixing itself up with railway or other nndertakings. The proceedings concluded by a most unani mous vote of thanks to the management, the double service resulting from the acquirement of the Brazilian contract being considered to have placed the company on a secure and permanent foundation. The contract for the erection of public abattoirs at Edinburgh has been taken for 12,9781. Bs. 10d. COUNTY COURTS.—INCREASE OF PERJURY.—The judges were detained at Gloucester one whole day, in trying the numerous indictments found against persons for perjury committed in the county courts.

At Vienna the courts of law are occupied with the trial of an old woman for witchcraft. It appears that with her two sons she has been carrying on a very lucrative trade under pretence of buying souls out of purgatory. Upon payment of a certain sum she would use various incantations, upon which one of her sons, disguised in a mantle, would act the part of the soul in purgatory, and fixed the conditions for the sum to be paid by his relations, who were present in order to effect his release. The trial is still pending. No answer has yet been returned to the Prussian proposition on the subject of the Diet. The SULTAN has refused to accede to the de mands of; Austria to exclude: KOSSUTH and, seven of his companions in exile from the benefit of liberation.
