EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Vict., 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 cakulation. 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 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 Average, the Premium will bo 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 nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire aro 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. t National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire. t* Both Offices. ATITOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. 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 from the report, which is too lengthy for publication:— During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200/.—making togethpr 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected nsortAity, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last yam: <-The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. Ile. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15e. lid. since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lie. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last f o ur months they had considerably extended their business on the C o ntinent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities bath Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and filters prospects.

The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers ompa only nies o , and r Contractors excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway C 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 accid en t s h a ll resu lt in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.

"I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in meroito any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqw.intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

On Thursday, we once more turn to steeplechases; the Grand Military being marked for decision on this day. For the Gol 1 Cup, out of twenty-eight nominations, probably eighteen will be sent to the post, including those well, known horses with the hounds, if not in regular steeple chasing,Anglesey, The Unlucky One, Buckjumper, Country Squire, Haukesworth, Oscar, Iron Duke, Fugleman. Johnny Oakes, The Treasurer, and 'Mi ss M ow b ray. Shi nrone, w h om I should have selected to beat the lot, being very uncertain starter, I shall pounce upo n Hawkeswortb, Buckjumper, The Unlucky One, Oscar and Johnny Oakes, as the lot likely to figure to most advantage; but when you take into consideration that the weight is 12st or upwards, and gen tlemen riders, it is aft very easy to select wh a t i s lik e l y t o form the first flight, much - less the winner, but I think the latter will be found in IlawKEswonur, Oscan, or JOHNNY OAKES. There are two other steeplechases on the list for this d iy, but not being of any consequence to the sporting community generally. I shall pass them over. On Friday the Grand Annual Steeplechase will probab'y attract the following batch into the field:—Sir John, 12st; The Victim, 11 it 3lb ; Vain Hope, list 316 ; BritishYeotnan, llst ; Fugitive, lOst 101 b; Rattrap, lOst 81b; Miss Collingwbod, lOst lib; Young-un, 9st 121 b; Mulligan, 9st 91b; Mauri ce Daley, 9st Qlb ; Rendsburgh, 9st 51b; and Miss Mowbray, 9st 41b. Vain Hope, Fugitive, Rattrap, and Young-un seem to me to be the best " in," but, after what has been going on the whole of the season, I will not give a more decisive opinion until I have ascertained which way the money's going. The Hurdle Race seems to be in favour of Psyche, 4 yrs, 9st 71b ; or Little Queen, 5 yrs, lOst slb ; Fugitive, lest 101 b, if ran for this instead of the Steeplechase, will be very near the mark. It is said that Gulnare or The Hero will be TEE horse for the Free Handicap Steeplechase; Outcast and Victress, however, look very mischievous. I sin, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

The Queen and Prince were prevented this morning, by the inclemency of the weather, from taking their usual early walk, and the younger branches of the Royal Family were detained at home by the same cause. Sir George Couper arrived at Osborne this afternoon, and will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner party this day. Viscount Torrington had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Crawford, Chairman of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, Mr. Braine, Deputy Chairman, and Mr. Yates, the Secretary of the company, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official resi dence in Downing -street. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Daniells, chairman of the London and Blackwall Railway Company, and Mr. Tyer man, solicitor of the company, Mr. Stewart, secretary of the London and North-Western Railway Company, and Mr. Carter, solicitor of the company, and Mr. Charles Parkes, Parliamentary agent, had an interview with the Commis tioners of Railways yesterday, at their office in the Board of Trade. The Rev. Dr. Bennet' had an interview yesterday with Earl Grey, at the Colonial-office. Lord John Russell had a Parliamentary dinner party on Saturday, at his residence in Chesham-place.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.—So far as the metropolis is con cerned, the admirers of, bigotry have every reason to boast of the success ye!terday of the simultaneous collection to wards the foundation of Primate Cullen's Catholic Univer sity. The sums already announced amount to nearly 1,3001., but it is anticipated that when the lists are completed the figure will be swelled by 3001. additional, and this notwith standing that two of the most aristocratic parish chapels in the city, directly under the control of Archbishop Mur ray, were hermetically sealed against the inroads of the col lectors. The Freeman boasts that the levy is about equal to the sums contributed by the gulls of Dublin to the O'Con nell rent in the years in which the largest collections were made for the Liberator's exchequer. This the organ regards as " a great result," considering the " depression of the times," and " other circumstances of discouragement"— to wit, Dr. Murray's obstinacy—" too recent and too painful to make it either necessary or plea sant to dwell upon." The parish of St. Michan enjoys the pre-eminence of being the heaviest mulcted in the diocese, the collection there exceeding 3001. Times. FATAL EXPLOSION IN THE VICTORIA COAL-PIT. (FCIITIIER PARTICULARS. GLASGOW, MONDAY AIORNING.—The operations still con tinued, and about six o'clock last night the minx were able to bring up a large portion of the icon cage which had so much obstructed their efforts during the greater part of the day. They were only able to remove it by cutting through the iron at the corners. Several additional de scents were made, and about nine o'clock it was definitely announced that the workmen were now in communication with the two men. whom they had a prospect of saving. Previous to this the refreshments which had been sent down were acknowledged. About ten o'clock a supply of blankets was sent down, as it was announced that the poor fellows were almost in a state of nudity. After a lengthened period of anxiety and suspense, one of the poor sufferers, named Joha Cochrane ' was finally brought to the surface . Ile was supported by two men into an adjoining shed, and immediately attended by a medical gentleman. Cochrane was in such a weak state that he could not give any detailed account of the actual occurrence of the calamity further than that two men who were working with him at the time were instantaneously struck down by the fire. During his long imprisonment of nearly forty-five hours he says that he repeatedly groped about for some of his neighbours, and often called on them but, with one exception, no one answered. The miners were about to go down for the other men when our informant left. The Earl of Glasgow and Mr. Rodger, P.F., continued on the ground till late at night, encouraging the workpeople by every means in their power. A company of the 21st In fantry, which was brought to the spot by Mr. John Dun, sheriff-depute, rendered essential service in restraining the crowd. _ .. _._ „ ... MONDAY NlGHT.—Another man has been discovered alive, and two dead bodies brought up. The living men have not yet been able to give any connected account of the accident. o more men can now be got out alive. There are still b 9 dead bodies in the pit, making the total loss of life 61. STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION AT STOCKPORT. TERRIFIC LOSS OF LIFE. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) This town, which last summer was the scene of a frightful accident resulting from the falling in of a cotton factory, has again been the scene of a similar event, which from its terri ble extent and the great loss of life attending upon it, seems almost unparalleled in the annals of such occurrences Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, about half-past four, from some cause or other, as yet unascertained, the steam-boiler at the Park Mills, belonging to Mr. H. Marsland, formerly M.P. fur the borough, burst, carrying with it in its progress the whole six stories, from the ground-floor to the roof. The engine is a high-pressure, and the force of the explosion may be conjectured from the fact that the whole of the roof was carried away, and the mill became enveloped in flame from top to bottom in an almost incredible short space of time. Unfortunately, at that hour of the day the mill was in full work, and filled with work-people, so that the consequences of the accident become most terrific. A considerable number were carried up into the air, by the boiler forcing its way through the different stories, while others were precipitated into the ruins beneath as the building fell in, and the rapid spread of the flames subsequent to the explosion, in many instances, prevented all escape. Our correspondent states that he saw one man in desperation leap from the top story of the building into the river which flows beneath at the back of the mill, but whether he escaped with life or not it had been impossible to ascertain. Several dead bodies had been rescued at the time when our correspondent dispatched his communication, and others still alive had been carried to the infirmary, but, as the flames were still raging violently, it was perfectly impossible to ascertain the number of the sufferers. The whole town was in a state of consternation, and thousands had assembled to view the conflagration, not knowing when or where it would stop. A detachment f military had been called in, and patrols had been stationed at all the avenues leading to the mill, to keep uff the crowds, and to allow free room for the operations of the firemen. WINDSOR ROYAL DISPENSARY.—His Royal High ness Prince Albert, at the general annual meeting of the subscribers to the Windsor Royal Dispensary, was appointed president of the institution (in the room of the late Duke of Cambridge), and has been graciously pleased to sanction the wishes of the subscribers. The Great Western Railway Company have presented a donation of ten guineas, and the directors of the South-Western Railway have become annual subscribers to the same amount. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills an Excellent Remedy for Old Wounds, Sore Legs, and Scrofula.—Mr. Turner, of Penshurst, suffered for two year from a dreadful sore leg, the diseased part extending from the foot to the knee, and causing of severe scorbutic iiiffeee tried which spread over the whole surface of the g every available remedy without being able to bell even . dc. the least good whatever to it. At length he c ommence d using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and, to the astonishment of him self and others who had seen the dreadful statbeohuits fi l v eg was iu, these fine medicines effected a soup cure is a e weeks. —Sold by all druggists , and o fessor Holloway' s Estab.. lishment, 244, Strand, London. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—The line between Ver viers and Ostend was opened to the public on the 15th inst., and it is probible that the wires between Verviers and Calais also will be complete within three months. TIIE HUNGARIAN REFCGEES.—The sixty-three Poles and Hungarians who had determined on proceeding to Amer•ca, went on board the Charles Crookes yesterday morn i n g (Monday), but as the vessel will not sail till to-mor row, they re t u rned to the " home'' in Moorfields, for refresh ment during the day. It is expected they will sleep on board the ship to-night. EXTENSIVE FRAUD BY A CATTLE -DEALER.—We learn that a cattle-dealer, well-known in Edinburgh, has absconded, after fraudulently obtaining possession of a sum of money from various parties, which, Thewife it has is al t s h o ou s g ac h e t e , e w de il d l , n h o y t fall much short cf 00/. means of counterfeit cheques, in swindling several parties out of large sums of money.

SPORTING NOTES. No. N.X. WARWICK AND LEAMI gGTON RACES AND STEEPLECHASES. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I forgot to state last week that the game grey gelding Isaac, by Young Roller, dam by Drone, with I let 101 b up, tooled by his trainer (W. Rutherford) verified my prediction, by winning the:Milnthorpe Steeplecase in a common canter by several lengths. A sporting paper ob serves, that it was the first essay of Isaac's trainer in a steeplechase, and that he displayed courage and judgment. The winner is nine years old, and up to this period has won twenty-one steeplecases at all weights; his owner (Mr. Tier nan;,a highly honourable man, always running him to win, and not playing off the shuffling tricks practised by many of his contemporaries. The betting at "The Corner" yesterday evidenced the rapid approach of the legitimate racing season, by the number of events touched upon, amounting to no less , than ten ; some alterations of consequence occurred. St. Rosalie was ele vated to the premiership for the Northamptonshire Stakes, 7to I being the latest figure • Legerdemain declined to eights, offered ; Cocktail and dothworker at twelves each, were the only others backed. Mem. The field is stronger than the favourites at present. Agis sprang to the front not only for the Willoughby Handicap, run to-day, but also for the Metropolitan, for which 12 to 1 was taken to nearly a hundred; for this stake The Ban was backed at an outside figure ; and Glance and Vatican at 20 to 1 each. The Moun tain Sylph colt was in high force for both the Two Thousand and Derby, 4 to 1 taken to between two and three hundred pounds for the former, and 10 to 1 for the latter, in addition to thirties and five-and-twenties, taken freely, that he won both; good, judges say he will accomplish this feat, I.say NO! Silt to five, and even five to four, might have been ob tained about Grecian for the Guineas, and 5 to 1 about New minster. Lightfoot, the' bugbear of the ring, is in force at the list houses .as well as" The Corner," his price at the „former ranging from 30 to 50 to 1, and at the latter no more than fifty could be obtained. This mysterious animal, about whom such strange accounts are heard, and concerning whom a contemporary says, "A tale is going about that a clumsy horse is shown up in Yorkshire to all corners as Lightfoot, and that the real Simon Pure is caged,"—this said animal, I can assure the public, was as late as last week doing good work, and looking uncommonly well. He is not a bad look ing horse; a god deal of his sire's cut about him, and, I think, will distinguish himself in the handicap department some time of other; but, as to the Derby, the sporting com munity are well aware of my opinion of his chance, as I said before, so I say again, "he is not worth a thought." The Chester Cup betting, with the exception of Rhesus's advance to 8, Nancy to 14, The Italian to 18, and Damask to 40, re mains much the same as before. Nancy, notwithstanding the desperate chance a three-year-old stands on the Chester Roodee begins to look dangerous. The Port Stakes seem to be a certainty for Beehunter or Bolingbroke; both are forward in their preparation ; the latter was missed from his work for a few days a short time since, which put several parties in the City into a terrific funk; but, as Charles Mathews in Used Up would say, " There was nothing in it." As I anticipated in Note No. 19, I have to make some trifling alterations in the starting list for to-morrow's races at Warwick. For the Great Warwickshire Handicap, of 20 sous. each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared, etc. ; two miles ; the following will be brought to the post :--Doubt, 5 yrs, 7,,t 101 b ; Kiasaway, 5 yrs, 7st 71b ; Bushranger, 4 yrs, 7st 41b; Escape, 6 yrs, 7st 31b; Zadoc, 4 yrs. ist 21b ; Gladiole, 4 yrs, 7st ; Docility, 5 yrs, Est 121 b; Little George, 4 yrs, Est Illb ; A bd-el• Kader, aged, Est lUlb ; Sunrise, 3 yrs, sst 4lb ; and U nit y , 3 yrs, 53t. Borneo. Clothworker, Captain Parry, and Colibri, may also run, but it is very dubious. The winner, T fancy, will be one of the three-years old, and as the sunrise tomorrow may be a glorious one, I cannot altogether, in this instance, go for unity of o be boutlthird, Mr. Palmer's horse, with only 7st 10Ib up, will a head pinion ; and I have but little doubt that Gladiole, Kiasaway, and Zadoc next, with Bushranger ing the hindmost lot. The Knight of r t - h o e ld T s h t i a s h t ee le will l d w e i r n . the Castle Stakes. For the Two-yea • stand Lizzy will not run, and that Peetesi is doubtful ; con , sequently I must place the S lane fillies and filly by Touchstone, I out of ER IL , first on the lis t, and it Mai not surprise me, . THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday . The Journal des Debots states that the French Government has protested by an energetic note against the entry of the Sclavonian and Italian provinces of Austria into the German Confederation, and that the King of PirossiA has refused to ratify the arrange ments entered into between SCHWARTZENBERG and MANTETIFFEL. The Committee of Parliamentary Initiative on Bator dry discussed the three propositions relative to Le reim bursement of the 45 centimes tax by means of the repay ment of the milliard awarded to the French emigrants at the time of the Restoration. M. C. LAGRANGE, author of one of these propositions, alone presented himself before the Committee, and declared that he had made it in consequence of the motion of M.BERRYER, and t h at hi s motive was to cause the proposed reimbursement to be paid by the rich in order to relieve the poor. Th.* Committee, without re-opening a discussioai on the subjoct, unanimously resolved to recommend the Assembly not to take th e p ro p os iti on i n t o consideration, on the ground that the indemnity paid to the emigrants had become definitively and irrevocably their property, and that it was as sacred as any other species of pro perty. M. CORNE was appointed reporter. The ru mour that M. BERRYER intends to withdraw his pro position appeared on S•iturdey to gain ground. Mr. SIMS REEVES appeared on Saturday night at the Italian Opera, in the character of Carlo, in Linda di Chantouni, and achieved a triumphant success. The Bourse was dull, and public securities declined in price towards the close of business. The Five per Cents. opened at 94f. 25c., and closed at 94f. 5c.; the Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 70c.; Orleans Rail roa d Shares, 89If. 25c.; Rouen, 655 f.; Havre, 282 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 480 f.; Avignon, 1951.; Vierzon, 447 E 50c.; Basle, 158 f. 75c.; Bourdeaux, 4051.; Paris and Strasburg, 373 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 267 f. 50c.

GERMANY. "It is stated in letters from Germany," says the Ordre, " that Prince SCHWARTZEMBERG is about to address a circular to the European Powers, in reply to the protest of the French Governm en t, i n w hi c h he will attempt to prove that the entrance of Austria with all her provinces into the Confederation, is es sential to the tranquillity of Germany, and even of all Europe. The note will also deny that France hu any right to protest in virtue of the treaties of 1815, on tha ground that she was not a contracting party in the federal past." The Indipendance of Brussels gives the follow ing: —"Oar correspondent at Berlin represents the report as having acquired consistency, that Prussia in her last reply to Austria had put forth the idea of separating the honorary from the bond fide presidency, and allowing the former to Austria, whilst dividing the latter in such a manner as to establish a parity between Austria and Prussia. As to the division of votes, the first intelligence ac cording to which Prussia was said to be willing to concede two votes to Bavaria, and one only to each of the ether Royal Courts, appears to be erroneous. Prussia, it is now said, will not consent to any differ ence in favour of Bavaria over the four secondary powers. The Chamber of Deputies of Oldenburg has just adopted a resolution, rejecting the credit de manded by the Government for the expense of a ple nipotentiary at the Conferences. The Chamber founded its decision on the anti-liberal tendencies of these conferences." The Upper Chamber of Prussia is to hold its sit ting in the concert room of the theatre. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG is to leave Vienna for Dresden on the 13th or 14th. ITALY. The upholders of the Papacy state that the intended appointment of the English hierarchy must have been known to the British Government, inasmuch u in the Roman Gazette of 22d January, 1848, Dr. WISEMAN is mentioned as. Archbishop of West minster. The following is the passage alluded to : " Inasmuch as Rome is the centre of Catholic unity, she must exert herself for the propagation of the trea sures of our most holy religion, and therefore the sermons delivered during this sacred octave, that of the Epiphany, by saintly preachers, have been intended to excite the zeal of the faithful in promoting the erection of a Catholic Church in London for the use of all be lievers, and particularly for the service of those Italians who reside there, and who, for want of Church *mom. modation, are deprived of the mass and the holy sacra ments; and it was annonnced that for this purpose con tributions would be received by S. E. the Cardinal Pre fects of the Propaganda, and by their Excellencies the Prince and Princess Doris, in Rome; and in London by His Eminence the Most Rev, the Vicar Apostolic, Now Archbishop of Westminster, 35, Golden-square, and by the Italian Missionary Apostolic, the Chaplain of the Royal Sardinian Chapel, 34, Lincoln's inn-fields. Thus it is hoped that many will concur with generous libe rality, and without delay, because the necessity is urgent." This quotation, however, proves too much. If Dr. WISEMAN were really appointed Archbishop of West minster in Jan., 1848, how happened it that he did not assume that title during the whole of 1848 or lii49, or until 1850 ? It would seem that this passage had been smuggled into an obscure corner of the Roman Gazette two years before the appointment actually took place, in order that it might be afterwards used u the advocates of the Papal aggression now used it. Had any remonstrances been made to Rome in 1848, the answer would have been, " The appointment has not taken place." A letter from Rome, in the Lomkardo Veneto of Venice, states that his HOLINESS having applied for a reinforcement to the King of NAPLES, the latter has declined, on the ground that such a course would be contrary to the conditions agreed on between the four Powers. King FERDINAND, however, has con sented to concentrate his troops upon the frontier, and keep them in readiness to march upon Rome, should the POPE be in danger. RISE IN RAILWAY SHARES. We receive urgent letters calling upon us to put forth some words of warning regarding the existing speculation in the railway-market. In the present state of affairs, however, it is not our business to do co. It is true that since the Ist of January shares have risen on an average upwards of 40 per cent., while other descriptions of security have rather de clined, and that upon the lines of worst repute, such as the Caledonian, East Anglian, &c., the increase has been equal to 70 or 80 per cent. It is likewise to be admitted that eothing has transpired to account for this extraordieary movement, except the promises held out in connexion with ti e Exposition, and that it is not easy to see how the wildest calculations in that respect, especially when it is borne in mind that the temporary half-year's inflation will be followed by dulness and reaction, can be considered to offer an explanation. But these points solely concern the parties who are now speculating. The same means of form ing an opinion are open to all, and each person has a right to indulge his hopes, and to act upon them to any extent he may deem proper. We can neither prove nor disprove any thing in the matter, and even if the case were otherwise, we do not know that we are entitled to assume the prospects of the Exposition to be the only or the chief ground of the new rush to these investments public entertain anticipations of reformed management, o- It may be that t the nomical discoveries, and increasing commerce, e xcept that whatever may their minds to warrant all that has taken place.

There is no oan a' 1 ga between what is going on now and the m an i a which ended in the convulsion of 1817. The evil was then a national one, in volving the waste of millions upon undertakings which could never bring an adequate return, and leading to an adverse state of the exchanges sufficiently plain to be demonstrated a year or two beforehand. In the existing movement there is nothing of the sort. Supposing it to be entirely a gambling one, there is still no waste beyond that of the gambler's time, since what one party loses another gains. There is no new capital drawn is and sunk, no misdirection of the ener gies of the labouring population, and any misfortunes which may result will be simply those to which all persons are liable who seek to make their fortunes by play instead of by indus try and invention.--TimEs.
