IHE POWER OF MONEY. Some men hoard their wealth, and do nobody good, While by others it's foolishly spent ; But MOSES, who long by the public have stood, itemember why money was sent ; By commanding the markets, they buy a large stock Of the best, when the prices are cheap, And they always take care that the public who flock To their mart, shall the benefit reap. Thus the wealth that to some folks would be of no use, Is employed for the good of mankind, For MOSES and SON in their buying profuse, To deal fairly are always inclined. What they buy is the best, and its made up in style, And they pay for a thing when It's done ; The smallest of profits content them the while, They sell fifty to any shop's one. Bee the Price at which MOSES will sell a good coat, Or a vest, or a hat, or a shawl, Or trowsers, or boots, or a habit, and note, They are cheaper and better than all. Then MOSES and SON, may they long keep their health, And of money the benefit reap, For they share with the public the use cf their wealth, And supply them with clothes, good and cheap. handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can b e h a d gra tis, on Th e application. of t h - new edition of " Everbodyy's Book, co n t a i n i n g a full report lett e r late important trial , may be hag grat i s, on app li ca ti on , or b y tree.

The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this Table the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums, without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society. Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health and payment of arrears of Premium without interest. Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged, so as to make them available as securities in the hands of third parties. No Entrance Fees or any other charge beyond the Policy Stamp. The present naual income of the Society from Premiums is 63,0001.; the amount covered by the Policies of the Society is 1,781,580 1 .; and the reserved profit, applicable to future bonus to the Assured, amounts to 82,4541. ss. 6d. At the last annual inves tigation, reported in May, 1850, the bonuses declared to the As sured were, the option of a return of 15 per cent. on their Premiums in cash, or a reversionary addition to the original sum assured by' each Policy varying from 20 to 65 per cent.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Yid : , cap. 110.) . . The leading principles of this Office ara —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 mached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, ftom time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against L'oss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. f National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. • Equitable Fire t* Both Offices.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Aet of Par liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In surers a low Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de rived from all Assurances hereafter effected. The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi sions to be declared in Jul% 1835,Avhen far participating policies which shall have subsistedltt least one year at Christmas, 1854, will be allowed to share in the,proflts. At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one half the profits amounted, on an average Of the different ages, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent ot their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared an the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same :snow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and also by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be come void.

Her Majesty's steamer Merlin, with the h'omeward India mail, arrived this morning, and will be conveyed to Mar seilles per Antelope, at 4 P.M. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges arrived yesterday, having made a passage from Smyrna in 60 hours. She was 84 hours from Malta to Constantinople in going up, and delivered her cargo in 15 days 2 hours at Trebizonde from Southampton, including all stoppages. The Banshee steamer arrived last night, only eight days from England, including-18 hours' stoppages at Gibraltar. The Resistance troop-ship embarked her sick and the troops (five companies) of the 44th, who proceed by her to morrow to Gibraltar. The officers are Captains Spring, Daubenev, and Fenwick; Lieutenants Green, Preston, Ottley, Micklethwait, and Caulfield ; Ensigns Baker and Gregory ; Quartermaster Walsh ; and Dr. Robertson. The whole are under the command of Major Gar&iiner. The Alipore arrived at Corfu on the 18th inst., and sailed on the 20th for Malta with part of the 76th Regiment. The Barrackpore was to leave Confu on the 24th instant, with the remainder of the 76th on board. The Java, with the depot of the 36th on board, has left Corfu for England. The Hercules, with the 41st Regiment, reached Corfu on the 17th inst. She was in quaraatine, having:small-pox on board. One death had occurred, and four were ill. She had not disembarked her troops on the 21st. A troop-ship, with the 36th on board has passed the island. The 30th, 41st, 47th, and 49th Regiments have arrived at Corfu. The 92d were daily expected. Accounts have been received from the Levant of a very violent &lock of an earthquake, particularly felt at Rhodes and Maori. In the latter place two mountains have fallen in, crushing a village and destroying 600 people. We have no particulars. Vessels of war at Corfu on the 20th—The Albion, Ganges, Frolic brig, and Growler steam-frigate. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Rhadamanthus steam troop ship, Master-Commander Belem, sailed from Spithead yes terday, for the Cape of Good Hope. The remains of the captain of the Turkish brig (who died in London) were brought to Gosport to-day by railway, and interred in the burial-ground apportioned for the sepulture of the Eastern sojourners in our waters. The American line-of packet ship Yorktown arrived at St. Helen's to-day from London, and sailed again after embark ing passengers for New York. The Tyne, naval store-ship, Master Commander Peter Willington, arrived this morning at Spithead. She left Rio Janeiro the 10th of February, and the island of Fernando Noronho the 2d March. She left a strong muster of men-of-war at Rio. The Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, with the flag of Rear-Ad miral Reynolds; the Thetis, 38, Captain A. L. Kuper, C. 8.; the Geyser, steam-sloop, Commander E. Tatham; the Con flict, screw -steamer, Commander Thomas G. Drake; the Rifleman, screw-steamer, Lieut. Commander R. H. Dalton; the Spider, schooner, Lieut.-Commander Tomlinson; and the Harpy, steam-tender to the Southampton, were at anchor there. The crews of these ships were all healthy, although the fever was still prevalent on shore. The Rifleman hal lost one man from it, and we are sorry to say it found its way on hoard the Tyne, and carried off the second master, Mr. M. C. G. Crompton, and one seaman. To the south:of the line:.the Tyne on her passage home ex perienced very light wind with tine weather, and to the north she had hard gales land squally weather. From Thursday last to Monday, less than four days, she ran a distance of 1,156 miles, nearly 303 miles a day. On the 29th March, in lat 47 36 N., long. 14 20 W.. she spoke the American ship Vaucleuse, of Thomaston, thirty-one days from New York, hound to Liverpool. She had lost her rudder-head and mizentopmast, and was steering with tackles. On the 30th, at noon, in lat. 48.45 N., long. 8.14, spoke the Hamburgh brig Ellen and Emma, fifty-eight days from Rio. On Mon day last, off the Start Point, spoke the Cumberland, 70, standing down Channel, with the wind at N.W., and the Ganges. of Kirkcaldy, bound to China. The Tyne was at Rio three weeks, discharging the stores she took out and taking in old returned stores from the squadron. She brought home one or two seamen, and Mr. Graham J. Eden, mate of the Thetis, who has had charge of a watch on board the Tyne. She has also brought home a small freight and some packages of diamonds valued at about 21,0001., which will be conveyed to the Bank of England, this evening, by Mr. Chambers, of Common-hard. The Fairy, yacht, blaster-Commander Welsh, and the. Royal dispatch-steamer Elfin, have both been brought into 'the south dock for the greater convenience of being painted. grid some of the gilding will be touched up afresh, which can le done • more easily and with less expense in dock than Afloat up the - harbour. • The Argus, stesrp,corvette, is being coppered, and the rig =gers are rigging her,;.. her topmasts are fidded. The Trince Regent has her topmast up, but she has been very much delayed in hpr.equipment by some mistake made by the dockyard people, as to the eyes of her lower rigging. The rigging was fitted at the yard-loft, and when the shrouds were put over the mastheads the eyes were found to be much too large, consequently they had to be all fresh seized. It is now found that her chain cables are defective, and she will have new ones; altogether it would have been much better, instead of being paid off all standing, that this ship should have been thoroughly stripped and cleared out; now there has been double work every way, and much more ex pense incurred. The Birkenhead will sail to-morrow for Woolwich. The Atalanta, Dutch man-of-war schooner, Lieutenant Commander Klerke, sailed this morning for Curagoa. The Penelope, steam-frigate, went out this morning to try her engines and speed along the measured mile in Stoke's Bay. The south coast surveying party, consisting of Cap tain Sherringham, Lieutenant Cox, Mr. Taylor, master, with a few seamen, have ; proceeded to Exmouth, which will be their ',head-quarters during the summer months, while surveying the coast adjacent. They have no vessel, but when it may be necessary to take soundings, &c., a boat or vessel will be hired for that purpose. Captain Sherringham last summer surveyed the shores in the neighbourhood of Weymouth. We are sorry to announce the death of Captain Edward 11. Butterfield, R.N.; 1841, who die 4 rather suddenly in London, aged forty-four. He was much and generally re spected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Wind, W., light breezes and very fine weather. PnYmouTir, TUESDAY.— Hsr Majesty's brigantine Bo netta, 3, sailed on Monday, at 3 A.m. for the Brazils. Her Majesty's ship , Cumberland, Captain Peter Ri chards, was off this port yesterday, (Monday) afternoon, at three o'clock, all sail set, wind N.N. W., proceeding on her voyage, to relieve the Wellesley, 72, Captain George Gold smith, doing duty as flag-ship on the North America and West Indian station. The merchant schooner Pike, of Shoreham, 180 tons per register, James Francis master, was towed into this port on Sunday, by James Hyde's pilot cutter. She sailed from Car diff on the 9th of February , laden with a cargo of railway and has experienced a continua by which she lost two tiriaoan,obfohuenadvyto wNeeswteYrlyorgka, main sails, one trysail, one staysail, and four jibe, and the main gaff was broken twice; they were also obliged, for general p r aervation ' to throw overboard the larboard bower anchor snd chain cable, end thirty fathoms of the starboard chain, water-casks, provision- casks, spars. and everything movable on deck, for the purpose of lightening and also right ing the vessel, the cargo having got adrift in the hold. Finding they could make no progress to the westward, on the llth of March, being in long. 47, they bore up for a port in England to replace and repair their losses and damages, intending to reach Falmouth, but were unable to make that port. The crew are much disabled from excessive fatigue, and for ten days neither the master nor mate was able to keep the log, their hands and arms being covered with salt water boils. Rear-Admiral Sir John Toup Nicolas expired this morn ing, at three o'clock, at Windsor-terrace, Citadel-road, Plymouth. The Rhadamanthus steam•frigate has just come in from Portsmouth, bound to the Cape of Good Hope. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, APRIL I.—Lieut. Henry B.

Lord Torrington's speech last night illustrates, what everybody knows, that when a man has a tolerable case a simple statement of it, especially from his own lips, is better than all the evasions, mystifications, and delays that the offi cious ingenuity of his friends can effect for him. Could his Lordship have said what he said last night two years ago, he might not have satisfied the public that he had acted with dignity, temper, and discretion, but he would have ob tained at once the indemnity due to a zealous bat inexpe rienced servant of the State discharging a high responsibi lity in a crisis of great difficulty and danger. The governor of a British colony embracing a :large native population avowedly disaffected to our rule, only the other day under the dominion of its own Kings, and still devoted to its priesthood and its chiefs —a governor of such a colony called on to suppress a rising en masse in the summer of 1848, when every mail brought from Europe another budget of revolutions, could scarcely hope to be infallible in a year of political failures. In theory, of course, nothing is more beautiful than a golden mean between indulgence and harshness, between a fatal security and an exaggerated estimate of the danger. Considering ;the time, the office, and the man, there never was an occasion when it could be plead with more propriety, "Res dura, et regni novitas me talia cogunt " Moliri." We should imagine that it would be far from easy to ad duce the case of a semi-barbarous people, governed effec tually, yet entirely without scandal. On the whole, there fore, we have always been disposed to take an indulgent view of certain incidents in Lord Torrington's Ceylon ad-. ministration that were not quite of a nature to stand a microscopic scrutiny, or a cold-blooded analysis. From time to time we have expressed our opinion that the case re quired only to be stated. His Lordship's employers and friends unfortunately appeared to be of another opinion. They have all along acted as if it required a very prudent and careful handling. A fair case indeed has been in the hands of very clever attorneys, who had so ill an opinion of it as to overlay its merits with legal finesse. We could never understand why the Noble Secretary and the in dustrious Under-Secretary for the Colonies should gratui tously put themselves in the position of baffling Mr. Baillie, and seeming to keep back evidence, when it would have been so easy to present the world with Lord Torrington's own version of the facts, and leave it with all its merits and demerits to the verdict of the public. It is a common remark Qui s'excuse, s'accuse, but much more is a man held to plead guilty when he or his friends are apparently shrink ing from inquiry. Lord Torrington owes much of his false position to his ill-judging friends. But, if Lord Torrington has been injured by his friends, he has not a little reason to thank his opponents. It was impossible not to appreciate the ingenuity and humour of the article in the Quarterly Review of December, on " the Mysteries of Ceylon ;" but it was equally impossible not to see that it was simply the case for the prosecution, culled from the blue-books, and artistically woven into a very pretty story. In that article there did not occur the slightest allusion to the former rebellions in Ceylon, to their treacherous beginnings and sanguinary results, to the con stant disaffletion of the natives, rather a different race from the mild Hindoos ; to the particular juncture of the re bellion in 184 S, namely, immediately on the re ceipt of intelligence from Europe, then in high revolution ; to the actual result-dt,tlf Lord. Torring ton's administration up to the Me of the article, and to some other important considerations in his favour. It it was impossible to leave all the features of his case wholly unnoticed, they were dexterously thrown into a corner. The fact that Lord Torrington was merely carrying out a lino of policy and specific recommendations bequeathed to him by his predecessor was alluded to slightly and sceptically in small print at the foot of a page. The undeniable evidence in support of the very probable fact that the rebellion was preconcerted and independent of the " Torrington taxes" was noticed in the same inobtrusive and incredulous man ner; and the writer, while enumerating the Portuguese and Dutch among the miscellaneous ingredients of the Ceylon population, omitted the French, always, and especially in 18a8, a very ready channel for the conveyance of European sentiments to Eastern populations. It required either some knowledge of the facts or extraordinary vigilance to detect from the article that the rebellion really was a rebellion, and not a trifling and local enzeute, fostered by spies, for the employment of British muskets, and the acquisition of a little colonial glory. As Lord Torrington observed last night, some recent events in this quarter of the world have taught us that an outbreak may be more serious than it seems, that it is better to over rate than to underrate a danger, that precautions are not ridiculous whenever they answer their purpose, and that a distinguished body of statesmen, and the greatest captain in the world, will rather incur the risk of a little ridicule than of a successful rebellion. From such a case to that drawn up in the Quarterly Lord Torrington had nothing to fear. He saw that, and his speech last night was a reply to that clever but disingenuous attack. Here, fiowever, we must stop. A successful defence against a partisan attack , —an Appeal to the generosity of the public, —a proper case for indemnity, is a very different thing from an entire justification. Lord Torrington may claim the credit of having extinguished in the bud a dangerous rebellion, but he has not been so fortunate as to do so in the most credit able manner. The gravity of British counsels and the hu manity of Brif ish arms were ill sustained in the presence of a conquered and not very formidable race. It is not easy to see whether Lord Torrington felt himself dealing with ene mies whose ferocity justified rigour, or with savages whose folly deserved contempt. Without betraying more fear, he might have shown more respect for them, and treated them more as civilised beings. However, the course he took was not injurious in its general conse quences, for the Cingalese population is now peaceful, obe dient, and prosperous, and these results have been there purchased at infinitely less cost than in most other countries effected by the political epidemic of 1848. As for the nu merous minor charges in which the wit of our contempora ries has been revelling for some time—the dog-tax, the arms tax, and all the rest of them —these are matters of detail, and his Lordship's reply on them is at least as sound as the wit of his antagonists. Should Mr. Baillie give the indict ment a more formidable as well as more serious form in his forthcoming assault, it will remain to be seen whether Lord Torrington can meet an accusation as well as disarm a jest. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT'. @Roar OUR OWN CORRESPONDE NT.) COWES,APRIL 1. WHAT'S DOVE AT SEA.—On Saturday, the captain of a Sunderland brig, :just arrived at Cowes, from abroad, was taken before the Newport magistrates, charged by one of the crew with having been instrumental in the'death of one of his men, a lad about 18 years of age. It was stated that on the voyage home the. lad was attacked with dysentery, and the captain had the second mate throw cold water over him, that he died soon after, and was thrown overboard. The man's statement was not supported by the rest of the crew, and the case was dismissed. While our only two po licemen were engaged with this case at Newport, the boat men and the residents on the watch-house quay we-e at tracted by the cries from a schooner in the Roads, on board which the mate was beating the black cook with a large rope. A shore boat went off with two hands, but they were not allowed to go on board. About an hour afterwards (there being no police or magistrate in the town, and the cries continuing) a boat with four hands went off', and brought the black man on shore. The schooner's boat Was On shore with the captain, and on its going off with; provi sions, one of the men used strong language to the *late for his cruelty to the cook, when she latter took a piStol and presented at the man, who was then putting some" beef on board ; fortunately, he put up his hand and knocked down the muzzle, at the moment of the trigger being draWn It was loaded with swan shot, one of which took the thick part of his hand, and three his thigh. On the return of the police they took the mate out of the schooner, and placed him in the Cowes police station-house, where he remained till Mon day. On Sunday the schooner sailed, and there being no evidence before the magistrates on Monday, the mate was discharged. sent—Mr. Pusey, M.P.

THE SPRING "MEET" AT EPSOM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—The race for the Granby Handicap yesterday de ceived the judgment of the " knowing ones ; ' the great gun, Clothworker, supported universally throughout the past week, at all sorts of odds, from 3 to 1 against, to even on him, despite his jockey's ( Mr. Scobell) artistica' handling, was beaten in the last stride by half a neck ; the weight (11st 101 b) telling fearfully. The winner, Melford, an aged horse, tooled by Lord Cardross, received 241bs of the favourite ; and the third horse, Warwick, who was beaten a bare half length, received 201bs for his,year. Panope and New Forest Deer were beaten off. The race for the Belvoir Castle Stakes was rendered interesting from the eircumatange of Theseus, a showy son of Minotaur and New Year's Day, being among the starters; he has been invested on, at long shots, as a respectable outsider for the grand event at Epsom on the 21st May; in fact, as little as 40 and 33 to I were booked about him on Monday and Tuesday. His appearance when at the post, however, did not please some of the cognoscenti, and the result of his first race this year, although a winner, does not please me • for it was with some difficulty, that he accompli s h e d the task of giving Knook Knoll 71bs. and a beating, having won by a neck only after a desperate set-to for the last hundred yards ; Tightwaist was third, with Truth and Sir Rowland Tren chard bringing up the rear. The Epsom Metropolitan Meeting commences on Thurs day, with some " across -country" events, which I do not in tend commenting on, more than observing that the British Yeoman, lOst 121 b, and Mulligan, lOst, have been supported for dollops of money, at very small odds ; Spring Buck has also been inquired after; Sir John's running is reported du bious; and a good many careful speculators have been in vesting on Sir Peter Laurie, and nibbling at twelves and fifteens about Spectator and Scavenger. The legitimate portion of the reunion will come off on Friday, commencing at one o'clock with the Epsom Trial Stakes of 5 soya. each; for three yrs old, 7st; and four, 9st. One mile. To which is added, I believe, 501., by that remark ably fine specimen of an almost extinct species —the old English gentleman, the late Sir Gilbert Heathcote, who, with regret I heard, departed this life last week. The entries for this stake close at four o'clock this afternoon; I will make a brief comment on them to-morrow. At a quarter to two the second race is timed; it is the City and Suburban Handicap of 15 soya each, 10 ft, &c., with a bonus of 1501. added. One mile and a quarter. There are fifty-one subs to this stake, and twenty-seven acceptances, and the following will pro bably be found at the post :—Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst Sib ; Elthi ron, 5 yrs, Bst Sib ; The Swede, 4 yrs, 7st 10Ib ; Haley, 6 yrs, 7st Blb ; Maid of Team Valley, 5 yrs, 7st 81b ; Wood lark, 5 yrs, 7st 6lb (d) ; Dulcet, aged, 7st ; Windhound, 4 yrs, Gst 12Ib ; Eva, 5 yrs, 6st 91b; Handsome Doe, 4 yrs, 6st 91b ; Teeswater, 4 yrs, Est 91b ; Castanero, 4 yrs, Est 4lb ; Brington, 4 yrs, Est 41b ; Duste-, 6 yrs, sst 4lb ; Tightwaist, 3 yrs, oat 41b; Theorem, 3 yrs. sst; Empress colt, 3 yrs, sbt ; The Incurable, 3 yrs, 4st 131 b. It would be tedious to wade through an analysis of their pretensions; let it suffice to note down the latest moves concerning the stake and the probable result. Since the Incurable's victory at Northamp ton for Lord Spencer's Plate, she has maintained the pre eminent position of premier favourite, and her running then warranted it ; she won then all the way, and I think it very `into she m a y d o so now •, but a doubt will creep into my mind anent the distance, whether it is not a furlong or so too much, at least, for a good finish with so diminutive a jockey, even supposing the filly can manage it; therefore, should THE INCURABLE miss the mark, I shall bring WINDUOUND, HAGLEY, and THEOREM to the rescue, taking the first-named for choice. Elthiron has a little too much weight allotted to him ; he o h, t as T however, eamira en le b y e ,D su u p lc p e o t r , te f Brington, ii o n rarg gton la ,a e nd st T ak ig e h . tw lh a ' is e t ➢l‘lid have a been mercifully treated by the handicapper, and have each been backed for a great deal of hard cash, especially at the list-houses. The third race on the list, marked for half•past two, is the Two years old Stakes, for which most of the following will run, viz. :—Queen Bee, Litle John or The Nun, Miss Giddy, Fire Queen, Carinetta, The Old Lad, Pslerine filly, Flirt, Apostate, filly by Hetman Platoff, out of Sircingle, Freedom, Prince Rupert, and Miss Conyngham. Of the dark division Apostate and Freedom are about the - best. Prince Rupert has also been backed for a tolerable amount; but it is with him as with The Greek at Northampton, his day has not arrived. Of the remainder I con sider Tne Old Lad, Flirt, and Miss Conyngham to be the best, and think, without Mr. Payne spoils my calculations with Chaffinch. or Freedom, that FLIRT or THE OLD LAD will be the winner. The fourth race, run at half-past three, is for the Sixth Great Metropolitan Handicap of 25 sous. each, &c., with 350 added. Two miles and a quarter. For this stake, out of 102 nominations and 44 acceptances. somewhere about the following very respectable field will be attracte t to the post, viz.:—Peep-o'-day-Boy, aged, Bst 101 b (d); Glance, 5 yrs, Bst 81b (d); Old Dan Tucker, 5 yrs, Bst 21b; Snowstorm, 5 yrs, 7st 91b ; or Raby, 5 yrs, 7st 71b ; Vatican, 5 yrs, 7st 91b (d ) ; Vampyer, aged, 7st 71b ; Sauter- le. Coupe, 5 yrs, 7st 51b; (Edipus, 5 yrs, Est 121 b ; Minimum, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b ; The Sweep. 4 yrs, 6st 101 b (d); Kathleen, 4 yrs, Est 91b; Agis, 6 yrs, 6st 81b; John of Berwick, 4 yrs, 6st 61b; Selina, 5 yrs, Est 41b ; Estafette, 4 yrs, 6st; Valentine, 4 yrs, Gs 31b ; Aristocrat, 4 yrs, Sat 101 b ; Cnveus, 3 yrs. sst ; Hesse-Hom burg, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; Sunrise, 3 yrs, sst 1W; Ingratitude, 3 yrs, 4st 61b. My opinion on this race has been published for such a length of time, that it is well known ; it has un dergone no alteration whatever. I still think that the race will lay among tho following batch:—Estafette, Old Dan Tucker, Cnseus, Vampyer, Kathleen, Hesse-Homberg, and Sunrise; and that eNdEUS or SUNRISE will be the win ner, with Estafette, the game Old Dan Tucker, Valentine, and Percy's nags healing the ruck. The ether stakes are not entered for at the present mo ment, so can give no opinion concerning them. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. April 2, 1651. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LOSS OF TEETH A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been Introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfrctly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, 6r, any painful 'operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose,' and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. IN SIX LANGUAGES —FORTIETH EDITION.

In a debate in the Chamber of Peers there had b-en a serious personal altercation between the Count of THOMAR and the Duke of SALDANIIA. Commodore MARTIN'S squadron returned to the Tagus on the 21st. GERMAN Y. The Kolner Zeitung has the following : " It is complained that Prussia is humiliated beneath Austria. It is true we have given up Erfurt and the tricolour; we have not commenced a war against Europe hand in hand with Mazzini and Bakunin. But no real friend of Prussia any longer doubts that, in pursuing this course, we have only followed the path that was in evitable, if we did not wish to disappear from the map of Europe. Let us consider, on the other hand, the special differences between us and Astria. Austrid re quested us to send' a representative to the-Assembly at Frankfort, which it called the Bundestag. Prussia refused to do so. Austria did not persist in its de mand. Prussia demanded a free Conference. Austria as sented. Austria wished it to be held in Vienna; ussia that it should sit in Dresden. The Conferences 'do sit in Dresden. Austria seeks to involve the small states in the project of eleven. They oppose it. Prussia takes them under its . protection successfully, and the scheme is abandoned ; and though it is to be wished that Prussia had asserted the rights and interests of its allies before it consented with Austria to make that proposi tion, yet here the position of Prussia by its assured line of retreat on the constitution of the old Coufekieration, as the only possible basis of the future of t Germany and -the re-acquired accord of Europe, is &wag and unattackable. The admission of the non-Germad States of Austria remains till the final decision at Dresden an open question. The objections to the pro posal are mostly based on a confusion between an em— pire and the numerical amount of its population. In tact and reality the whole of Austria was in the Band before 1848 " The parity Austria has never refused; and if it is in this respect at present closely allied with the four monarchies, and therefore has the actual preponderance of power in the Commis sins of Dresden, while everywhere in Germany the tendency and inclination is, and must be necessarily towards Austria, what is to blame but the tri-coloured policy which drove the four kingdoms into the Austrian camp, and produced the understanding of Bregenz, and its prejudicial consequences to Prussia? It is not true, it is contradicted by history, that the four kingdoms are natural allies of Austria, and natural enemiesof Prussia. Whoever reckons in politics only on vulgar egotism must rather consider these kingdoms as allies of France, which Wurtemburg and Bavaria have so often been, and that against Austria itself." The — Prussian Government intends, it is said, to accredit a Minister to the Diet at Frankfort forthwith. Her Royal Highness the Princess of PRUSSIA. has accepted the invitation of the Queen of ENGLAND to visit that country during the time of the Great Exhibition. Several other members of the Royal Family will also visit England at that time. The Austrian Government has promised a prize of 20,000 ducats to any engineer who shall solve the problem of constructing a locomotive which shall be able to ascend the mountain of of Soemmering. Seven candidates for this prize have appeared. The Go vernment has fixed the month of June for testing the experiment. ITALY.

A telegraphic dispatch received at Vienna an nounces the re-capture of the town of Banjaluka by the Ottoman troops. The insurgent army had been defeated. MR. DRUMMOND'S SPEECH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A paragraph has been shown me in the Dublin news paper, the Tablet, professing to be a letter froma te corre spondent in London, which states that I " applied to h blessed Virgin Mary a term which can only be used with reference to the most abandoned females." The assertion is wholly false. Dr. Wiseman having brought over an arm of St. Edmu nd , I asked whether the Popish aggre ,, sors were g oing to ins u lt the common sense and common honesty of t he people by an additional importation of blinking statues, bleeding pict ures, liquifying blood, and the Virgin Marys milk ; and ssme pretend that these words are disrespectful towards th e bl essed Virgin herself. 'the Archbishop of Paris denounced the blinking statue of Rimini about the same time that the Pope sent it a chapter. The liquifying blood of St. Januarius is scarcely denied by a single Neapolitan priest to be a cheat. When a pretended holy coat of our Lord was attempted to be palmed upon the the impost ure arouse d w ot . 3 indignationstrsesap which no one was silly o c tto our Lord. It i s difli ' e p ann eo ou p uig l i e ihv i e n tros F ca l al a lf n le d ael e mi r n s ga a t of fe r cult to conceive that any one can think an attack upon the imposture of the Virgin's milk can be a slight upon her. Is any allusion to her milk irreverent? Then is the Papacy most culpable, for at the Reformation the cathedral of Glasgow boasted of four phials of her milk. In the church of the Holy Cross at Rome to this day is shown a bottle of her pretended milk ; the churches of St. Cecilia, St. Cosmo, and St. Mari a T ran spontine are equally indecent by exhibit ing the same imposture. As it was not irreverent to our Saviour to expose and de nounce the imposture of his coat, neither is it disrespectful to the mother of our Lord to denounce a similar imposture of the priests connected with her name. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, March, 31. HENRY DRUMMOND. IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL I.—Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., has announced himself as a candidate for the representation of Enniskillen, vacant by the resignation of the Hon. Colonel Cole. Mr. Whiteside is a Conservative, but in his address he says :—" I will support the application of a wise economy to the management of the revenue, and to the financial depart ments of the state ; but I will steadfastly resist the heartless system of centralization sought to be enforced against Ire land, and which is as injurious to her interests as it is hurtful to her pride." It is said a Mr. Cullum, a solicitor, has had the start of Mr. Whiteside in canvassing the electors of Enniskillen, and that he has already had the promises (of three-fourths of the constituency. A novel illustration of the beneficial working of the En cumbered Estates upon Irish enterprise has just appear e d . Although many branche 4 of Irish mining are inconsiderable, the working of copper, lead, silver, an d sulphur is very pro titahle ; but in the cos,: of many estates containing rich lodes it was impossible to carry on any successful operation s , as the proprietors could not give a title. A difficulty of this kind was an insuperable impediment to the formation of joint-stock cJinpanies, and consequently Ireland has hitherto remained much behindhand, though the few mines that are worked h ave givQ , good returns. In the instance to which ace have alluded a clear mi neral title over a large property near Kenmare, in Kerry, has been conveyed by the Commissioners to a company, and as the ores are not reduced on the spot for want of fuel, but sent to South Wales, the neighbouring farmers derive em ployment from the cartage of ores for shipment. The rates, which are as much as Sd. per mile, are liberal and remune rative. The coals for the engines are brought from Swansea as back freight, and are carted up to the mine. A u appeal front the Encumbered Estates Court has been heard before the Committee of the Privy Council in the matter of the estate of John Thomas Jessop, !Esq., Mr. Thomas Pemberton was the appellant, and Mr. Coury respondent. The object of the appeal Was to HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Gustave 111. was repeated last evening, and nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which it was received. The acting and singing of Madame Fiorentini were magnificent. and her sweet and clear, yet powerful, voice was heard distinctly above the din of th e orc h es t ra , evel in the most bruyant passages. Her singing in the duet " D'un adultera sposa" was the very perfection of art. Mademoiselle Caroline Duprez was even more brilliant, if that be possible, than on Saturday; the introduced song in the fifth act was rapturously encored, and indeed the compliment was well deserved; it is a perfect gem of execution and intonation. The performance of Mdlle. Feller last evening more than confirms the favourable opinion which her debut on Saturday induced us to form of her powers; and Calzolari and Lorenzo, as the King and as Ankarstroin, were both excellent. The ehorussts were given with admirable precision ? I n4 effect; and the masked ball, supported as it " by Carlotta Grisi, was brilliant in the extreme, and went ofF most triumphantly. The delightful Isle des Amours, with Amaha Ferraris as the heroine, concluded the evening's en tertuitannts. The house was crowded. The Queen and his Loyal Highness Prince Albert honoured the performances with their presence. In attendance upon the Queen were the Countess of Desert, the Honourable Amelia Murray, and the Honour able Lucy M. Kerr, the Earl of Lis towel all Lieute nant -Colonel Buckley. In attendance upon his Royal Highness Prince Albert was Colonel the Hon. Alexander Gordon.- . .

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The Queen of Spades was repeated last evening, Miss Fanny Vining sustaining the part of Katinka, which ahe read on Saturday evening. Even under all the disadvantages of having . to read the part, her acting on Saturday evening exhibited grea t judg ment, and a rapid and almost intuitive perception of the strong points of the character; and now that she has had time to learn the words and to study the part, nothing can be more admirable than her interpretation of it. It is not easy to imagine a more delightful Queen of Spades than Miss Fanny 'Vining, who has, in the part of Katinka Nelidorf, achieved a triumphalit and a most well-deserved success. The drama is admirably acted and splendidly put on the stage, and the applause at the conclusion was raptu rous. The splendours of Azael followed. The house was crowded. THE LONDON GAZETTE, April 1.

With this convic tion haunting the Whig Cabinet by night and by day, they are already, if we be not misinformed, going through the unpleasant process of setting their houses in order. We can farther state that the impending resignation will be a real one, and not a sham resignation, like the last. Not, indeed, that the Whigs are desirous it should be real, but that cir cumstances which they cannot control will make it so. We believe we may state with confidence, that Lord Stanley will be the successor of Lord John Russell, and that the course he will adopt will be to go through with all those measures which the necessities of the public service may render indise pensable. It is supposed that the session will last until the middle of July, when Lord Stanley will dissolve Parliament, and afterwards adapt his policy to the composition of the new House of Commons. If that House shall be decidedly Protectionist, he will be prepared with a moderate fixed duty on corn. If we are to have a free-trade Parliament, Lord Stanley will be quite willing to put the questien of Protection in abeyance.—Advertiser. HOTEL AND TAVERN.

Gardiner, Ellis, Burrell, Wright, Elder, Tapster, Staples, James, Poole, &c., had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday, and presented a m e morial praying for a repeal of the window tax on their coffee and sitting rooms, also the tax on their servants , so as to be placed on the same footing with shopkeepers and other traders. S MITHFIELD MARKET.—The following is extracted from the Sussex Agricultural Express of Saturday last ea n this very town of Lewes for instance, a gentleman wh resides in the neighbourhood, and who knows every farmer in the district, states as a positive fact that out of sixty names that he saw attached to a petition, there were not tea who ever sent a bullock t o S m ithfield market. The graziers w ho send cattle to Smithfield are really suffering from want of necessary accommodation, and the consequent ill-usage and deterioration which their animals undergo. The sacri fice in the value of fat stock made in full and glutted mar kets arise entirely from the impossibily of keeping the ani mals over another week, in consequence of the ordeal they are obliged to go through." MANCHESTER, APRIL 1.--The market for yarns and cloth to-day is dull and inanimate. There is no confi dence in the maintenance of existing prices for the raw material, and people do not feel certain that the demand for the manufactured article is so good as to withstand a down ward tendency in cotton, although, no doubt, a very active demand would exist under a more settled state of prices. On all sides, the supply of an additional and more certain quantity of cotton is looked upon as necessary, to rem edy the under which the various interests of the c o tton trade have in turu suffered for the last few years.
