MISREPRE'4ENTA.TION. - CAUTION.- Application was yesterday made to a Merchlnt In the City to sign a written promise to pay for a book, to be entitled, when Published, " Watkins' London Directory for 1852." The person who made the application alleged that I had no inte rest in the " P'st OLlice London Directory," which, he asserted, be lohged to another person, named " Kelly." The statetrent is untrue: —fhe copyright of the " Post Office Di rectory" was assigned to use in the year 1.36, since which time the Work has remained mine, no other person having at any time had loi) , property in it. The purpose of the misrepresentation is surd ctoutly obvious, and no reliance should lee placed on any statements emanating from the same source.' FREDERIC KELLY. General Post Office.

EQUITARLK FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,000f. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each clam or risk—Annual division of Profits. The diflicultiOf collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so zreat, 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 Atfferent Established Companies have not been proportionate to the ameunt 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 nn, 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 tire, and the Insurer 's largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver ige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire °Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, item time to Ur 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 flay 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 apon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th Instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted front the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During.tbe past year no claims have arisen from deaths In Englanl, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 2501.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when It is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 11149, and the 31st of Nay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding.

A public dinner in honour of Mr. William Hawes, chairman of the London Bankruptcy and Insolvency Committee, was yesterday held at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street; Mr. J. P. Gaqsiott in the chair. The attendance was numerous, and included, amongst other influentist named of the legal and eomm.r( 4 . l Pomtnn inunity, those of Lord Wharnclifft., C. Cowan, M.P., Sir J. Duke, DI.P., lion. H. Fitzroy, M.P., J. Hum • phery, M.P., E. J. Hurchin4, M.l'., T. A. Mitchell, M.P., J. Sadlier, M.P., J. A. Smith, M P., W. Williams, M.P., John Williams, M.P., Mr. Delane, &c. Tree cloth having been withdrawn, The CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts, and ater them that of the evening," The 11-alth of Mr. W. Hawes." He spoke, amidst approving cheers of the untiring efforts of that gentleman to improve the laws ~f debtor and creditor, contrasti;.g the once general ten dency of the Legislature to protect dishonest debtors with their more recent recognition of the claims of the industrious and meritorious creditors. Ot these altera tions he traced the history, noting, at each stage of its progress, the tff .rts of commercial law amenders, and ultimately congratulating them on their comparative suc cess. Esp. chilly he lauded Mr. Hawes, to whom, in con clusion, he presented the testimonial which his friends rnd admirers had provided for his acceptance upon this Occasion. Mr. IiAWES returned his most cordial thanks, and, cheered by continued expressions of applause, com mented on the necessity existing in this country for an unexceptionable and satisfactory code in all commercial matters. He said that the main distinction between the law of England and all other laws, was that she had st,own the greatest possible consideration for the unfor tunate, and bad inflicted the greatest possible punishment on the dishonest. He concluded by proposing " The Relth of the Chairman," a toast to which Mr. Gaasiott returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The House of Lords,' coupling with that body the name of one of its members, who was present, Lord Wharncliffe. Lord WHARNCLIFFE replied, demonstrating from pre cedents, and promising for the future, an interest in commercial well-being, and a tendency to advance the commercial prospects of the country, on the part of the Upper House, such as the Lower might equal but could not surpass. For himself and the branch of the Legis lature to which he belonged he responded to the toast, declaring his anxiety at all times to maintain the cha racter for honour and integrity which England's traders of all ranks had acquired. Sir JAMES DUKE replied on behalf of the House of Commons. Mr. MITCHELL for the trade and commerce of the city of London. _ The Hon. H. FITZROY proposed " The Amendment of the Law." Mr. VANSITTART NEALE acknowledged the sentiment. Other gentlemen then spoke, all advocating the great principle of commercial law reform, the desirability of sustaining the national reputation and the claim to pub lic recognition to which Mr. Hawes'is efforts to achieve these noble ends had well entitled him. The various toasts, sonorously announced by Mr. Harker, at length were brought to a conclusion, and the company dis persed. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY'S FIRST SHOW The May fete of this society took place yesterday, under the most favourable auspices, the exhibition being of the highest order, and the patronage of her Majesty and the Royal family combining to render successful the recommencement of these very favourite promenades. The show of flowers was unusually large and excellent, surpassing, according to the opinion of competent judges, any exposition that has hitherto been witnessed in Europe. It is also satisfactory to observe that our growers will not forfeit the reputation they have esta blished, and that in this point, as well as others, during the period par excellence of exhibition, we may justly challenge the admiration of our continental friends. The principal features in the exhibition were the or chids, the roses, the azaleas, and the stove and green house plants. The orchidaceous plants were of the highest excellence, being distinguished for their even ness of growth and more than general good evidence of floricultural skill. Among the collections most par ticularly deserving of notice were those of Mr. Rucker of Wandsworth, and Messrs. Veitch. Panda Suuvis, exhibited by the former, and a superb specimen of Cattleya Mosaic, by the latter, were decidedly the gems of this department. The roses, principally shown by Messrs. Rivers, Lane, and Paul, were remarkably fine and numerous, and would lead to a high anticipation of the eXt' nsive garden of roses form ed by them in the society's grounds for a more permanent exhibition in the advauce& part of the season. The azaleas and the green house plants also sustain the reputation of the well-known names of Mrs. Lawrence, of Ealing-park, Mr. Collyer, of Dartford, and many others. Shortly after one o'clock the Queen arrived to a private view. Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Alnort and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princes of Prus sia, Prince Frederick William and Princess Louisa of Prussia, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and Princess Alice. The illustrious party, at tended by the Countesses of Gainsborough, Hacks, and Oriolla, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, Colonel Sey mour, Major Boyen, and Lit - ut. Hentz, were received by the Duke of Norfolk, president of the society, and the council and Officers of the institution; an d after spending a cohsiderable time in inspecting the collec tions, particularly the fine plant of Victoria Regis, now in flower, departed highly gratified. Shortly before the retirement of the distinguished visitors the fellows and their friends were admitted to the gardens; and the pro fteeings, enlivened by the bands of the household troops, under the able guidance of their masters, Messrs. Wad dell, Tutten, and Grattan Cooke, terminated only at a late period of the afternoon. Among the company pre sent were—the Duke of Norfolk, the Duchess of Sutber lind, Countess of Egna 3nt, Mareinis of "Aikstary, Lord [PRICE SD. and Lady Hervey, Lord Sondes, Hon. Fox Maule, M. Hon.

THE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851, How few of the visltors of file Great Industrial Exhibition will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind, i.ow many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have, from as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the works upon which their whole energ ies have been expended for months perhaps their whole means exhausted I The Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry ; but the wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson science, and manufactures, unpatronised imp memo would progrese but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration th et induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreis of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all re:veining men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can; with their limited netts, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more canit i 1 they can use, and-the less profit they exact, the more. they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far bette- at that price, than has ever been produced before. Rut the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere feet of low. prices ; or these very low prices for good clothing enable then ' ,ands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices g til Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of tradin, it was impossibie t obtain good cheap clothing ; now lbe poorest of the labOurimpalesses can dress in etrong and geed clothing accorain: to their circumstan'es. All classes can dress well—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration ot the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their , iwn dres , and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES s d SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or it - t buy, no matter, when they gave sees they will bel.eve in the beauty. and extent o a stock and an estaleishmeot to which it is difficult, it not Impossible, to do justice by description.

The inquest on the two childrtn who died recently at Hague, near Mottram, was resumed on Tuesday, by Mr. Hudson, coroner, at the Griffin Inn, Broad-bottous. The names of the sufferers, it will be remembered, were Sarah Ann Barcroft and Ellen Mills. Jonathan and Ruth Barcroft, the parents of one of the children, w ere both in custody in the room. Evidence was given that Ruth Barcroft was delivered prematurely of a child on Good Friday, which only lived some few hours. This was necessary to clear up a rumour that another child bad been poisoned, in con sequence of which the body had been exhumed and ex amined. Several women also gave testimony; among others, Bessy Mills, the mother of the deceasedchild, sa id there was a qaantity of porridge in a p o t by the invade in Barcrott's house, and that some of this was given Sarah Ann Barcroft before she died by her mother; that a portion was given to both M'Loughlin's children, and to both Mrs. Mill's children, Mrs. Barcroft offering it to them, and that in each case th e same symptoms o f sick ness and purgirg were presented. Ellen Mills died the same night. There was, however, this farther fact de posed to, that Huth Barcroft gave some flour porridge the same afternoon to Mary Cooper for her hens; it was mixed_up with the hen-meat and eaten by them, bid none of them showed any symptoms of illness. Mr. Little, the special high constable for the Hyde division, deposed as to what he had done is the matter. The most important statement he made was, that Jona than Barcroft had dceied ever having any arsenic or sugar of lead in his possession, which is of course con trary to the statement of Mr. Marsden, who alleges that he furnished him with some. The inquest was adjourned as a quarter past nine to half past twelve o'clock next day. It was resumed yes terday, hut no information has reached us as to the result, the place at which the inquest is held being out of the range of easy railway communication with London. A BULL-FIGHT PREVENTED. Some commotion took place on the tith inst. at Aignea sives (Gard), in consequence of resistance made by the population to the military who were ordered to prevent a bull-fight.

Mr. Thomas Alcock, c,t •Hy - de, made au analysis of the contents of the stomach and intestines of the child Mills. He found small lumps of a crystalline sub statics on the coats of both stomach and intestines. and when tested they gave all the appearance arsenic. He found a quantity of solid arseni c in the stomach and its contents, but not more than the bulk of a pin's bead al together ; that in the intestines and their contents might possibly weigh three grains. He bad also examined the liver, kidney, part of the intestine., and some blood taken from the child Barcroft, and in all these he found arsenic, though not in large quantities. He accounted for Mr. Sidebottom nut finding a n y in what be analysed, by suppo s ing (the stomach hayi ng _ burst upon pressure) that "age puiion had es caped with the fluid Itito-thi abdomen. lie had no doubt, from the inflammatory appearance of the sta. machs of both children, that arsenic had been t he cause of death. In the stomach of Mills the appearances were very decided. He could not say that the quantity of arsenic found in Bercrott's body would be sufficient to cause death, but there must have been much more than he found to produce what he saw. He was convinced that no other substance but arsenic would produce the results he had obtained from the same series cf tests. Mr. Dan Stone, professor of chemistry, of Man chester, found arsenic in a portion of lung, intestine, liver, and kidney, taken from bodies of the two children, and delivered to him by theconstable. John Sands, a labourer, of Staley, deposed that he called at Barcroft's house while the child was ill, on the 29th ult.; and that Ruth, the mother, was crying very much, and seemed quite concerned respecting the illness of the deceased. The child was very sick, and much purged, and died soon atter.

A captain of gendarmery was sent with twelve men to occupy the ground where the fight was to take place,-but the party- arrived too late. Having ask.A for she mayor, - he was informed that that itinc.i.mary was s6ent, as wt li as his deputy. Con jecturing that these g. nth:men desired to avoid acting to the matter, ho determined to prevent the sports no his own responsibility. Finding that a cons tiny of the Sth regiment n.d arrived from Lunel to support him, be proceeded to the place where the Ivan were erected, and surem(med the crowd stand ing tt one of the entrances to give way and allow his men to enter. Lie wa:', greeted with hooting and hisses. Bet then ordered the ierectry and his own men to ad vance, and it was not until utter long struggling, ace ern pnied with great forb-aranee on thr part ef the military, that an entrance wi s effected. In fact, the military were onligtd to present their bayonets before the crowd gave way. But the moment the soldiers and gendarmes ap peared inside the barriers, they were assailed with a shower of stones. At that moment arrived a squiciron of horse-chasseurs, and then all further resistance became impossible. The crowd, how ever, made one last effort, and that was to let loose a bull on the soldiers. But, as the animal was rushing forward with its head down, a sergeant took aim at it, and, lodging a ball in the centre of its skull, killed it on the instant. The crowd then dispersed, and the' lists wore removed. During the evening the crowd filled the wine-shops, and from time to time bands of men paraded the streets. shouting, singing, and occasionally haranguing the persons around. Many of the leaders put on red scarfs and other demagogical emblems, and uo steps were taken by the local authorities to put an end to such scenes. The soldiers were unable to get a morsel to eat, and at last an express was sent off to Lunel for pro visions. It was not until late in the night that a gon arrived, loaded with food and drink.
