EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and $ Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance agaiti.:t Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are mow the result of gum
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
diferent 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 en, 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 be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire °flee will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to titre, 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 fitly per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force Gar three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at Is. 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.

Just published, in one vol. post Bvo., price 128 cloth,
THE METAMORPHOSES of APULEIUS ;
a Romance of the Second Century. Translated from the
Latin by Sir GEORGE HEAD.
" The Golden Ass of Apuleins is attractive in itself, for an inge-
nious framework, variety of story, and a picture of rustic and urban
every-day life, such as we scarcely meet elsewhere in ancient writers
taken from the same level point of view. It is also diverting for its
picture of popular superstitions in witchcraft and religion, and the
quiet satire with which the latter are exposed."— Spectator.

CATHOLIC 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 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 lst'of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve mouths preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Petides, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
741/. is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 15s. I Id.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/.,
but 1,183/. Ils. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, 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, Evoque
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 both 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 future prospects.

PRIVATE BUSINESS BEFORE
TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Select Committee appointed to consider the mode
in which the duties heretofore attached to the office of
counsel to the Speaker, with regard to the private
business, shall be performed; and to propose such re-
gulations respecting private business generally as they.
may think fit; and who were empowered to report the
evidence taken before them, together with their
opinion thereupon, from time to time, have considered
the matters referred to them, and have agreed to the
following as their first report:—
Your Committee have proceeded, in the first instance,
to consider that portion of the subject referred to hem
which relates to the duties hitherto Walked to the elf4oo
of couneyl to the Speaker -with regtitetto private bills,
and at public inconvenience might result from any de-
lay in the House coming to a decisiod' on this point,
they submit this as their first report, reserving the re-
mainder of the subject referred for future consideration.
The vacancy which has recently occurred in the cffice
of counsel to the Speaker has led yotir Committee to
the following considerations:—
First, whether, under the circumstances, it would be
desirable to revert to the system and regulations under
which the private businc as of the House was carried on
previous to the present session, some of which posses-
sing urdoubted advantages, were only libandoned under
the impression that their object might by better attained
under the supervision of the Chairmep .of "Ways and
Means, assisted by the counsel to the Speaker. •
Secondly, whether any other system Ouldbe,adopted
which would attain the same object. fee -
Thirdly, if the whole of the recomm dations of the
wCohmatmwiattyeetohfe tehitieeelahsitthseesratiaonheslhdohuyld
en
fied out,
thet,in
Speaker, now vacant, shall be filled. •
With this view your Committee haveaought:and been
*rreounisel
favoured with the opinion of Mr. Speaker, and have
taken evidence from those authorities id the House and
connected with it who have had the most experience in
the conduct of private business, They also took the
opinion of the counsel to the chairman of Committees
in the House of Lords. The result has been an unani-
mous expression of opinion, that the recommendation of
the Committee of last session with regard to private
business should be carried out; and that, under present
circumstances, an officer should be appointed, of com-
petent legal knowledge and experience, whose principal
duty it shall be to assist the Chairman of Ways and
\leans in the supervision of private Bills in their pro-
gress through the House.
Your Committee, attaching great weight to these
opinions, and having given the subject (hie consideration,
have determined to recommend to the House the adop-
tion of this course.
Your Committee would direct attention to the evidence
of the Chairmen of Ways and Means, aemore especially
denoting the nature and importance of the subjects to
which the attention of this officer would have to be
directed.
They b( hove that
the present arrangement may be
carried into effect at the expense of a salary not exceed-
ing 1,000/, per annum ; and they would suggest that, in
making the new appointment, it be stipulated that the
whole time of the officer be throughout the year available
for subjects connected with the service of the House;
that the office be made subject to the direction of the
Speaker, and to such regulations and additions of duty
as the House may hereafter think fit ,to impose on a
further consideration of tho system of private business.
Your Committee will hereafter direct their attention
to the other portion of the subject referred to them, and
will especially .cousider whether, as opportunities may
offer, the conduct of private business 'may not bo im-
proved by a different arrangement of duties, and eco-
nomy promoted by greater concentration.

has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mohan' Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.

" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercy/to any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic goat, 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 acquo 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."

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,--The arrivals at the scene of action up to nine
o'clock this morning were numerous but not complete,
many being en route or expected; the fields for the three
principal events will be much larger than was antici
pated, and, as far as I can ascertain, will be composed
as follows:

[PRICE SD.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Mr. Sullivan's delightful comedy, The Old Love
and the New, was performed here last night, previous
to the representation of that most gorgeous and superb
of spectacle=, Azael, the Prodigal, which draws
crowds here every evening. The magnificent and E X •
citing second act still continues to create a perfe,q
furore. The beautiful dancizig Legrain
nightly applauded to the echo. The house was
last night so crowded in every part that the most
adroit packer could ,not have found room for half-a-
dozen more persons in any part of the theatre.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
Owing to the indisposition of Mrs. C. Kean, tho Mer-
chant (of Venice had to be substituted last night for Tic
itite's Secret. Despite this disadvantage, Flexmore's
bent fit went off with the utmost spirit. His buffo per-
formance in the ballet of Esrneralda, and the very bril-
liant dancing of Macllle. Auriol. who received a velietnei,t
second encore in the " Trunndaise," cccompanied by a
shower of bouquets, elicitcd enthusiastic applause, and
a call before the curtain; and the unrivalled pantomimic
troupe never exerted thrmielves with more signal suc-
cess. The loss of such a magnet of attraction as " the .
inimitable" would be irreparable to the Princess's,
where, we trust, he may continue long to flourish in
merited and unfading'popularity.

OLYMPIC THEATRE. •
Mr. I'algrave Simpson, a gentleman agreeably
known to the play-going world as the author of several
lively and. graceful dramatic pieces lately produced,
gave us last night a. freshly written. and pleasantly
coUceived trifle called That ocHoti.4 Cgptain,Aller,-
; marked, as usnalt in Mr. Simpsates writings, by
,-"ttreldt elegance Trittone, by neatness and tact in cop-
str4ction, and 4 natural and easy -delineation
of character. The little piece turns upon- Mi.
adventures of 'a widow left with a fortune,
upon condition • that she marries a man of
the name of Harcourt. Two rival- claimants,
an old bore and u young one, are routed by
that " odious Captain Cutter," a gay rattling adven-
turer, who, after a series of neatly-intrigued scenes
turns out to be a distant relative and a bearer of the
all-important name—the " Cutter" appellation having
been only a nom de guerre. Mrs. Stirling and Mr.
Leigh Murray carried off, the principal parts with
gaiety, grace, and abundant comic verve, and at the
fall of the curtain Mr. Simpson was loudly called for
to bow his acknowledgments.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
The well-known ventriloquist, Mr. Love, com-
menced a series of entertainments at this house last
night. In the art to which he seems to have devoted
his life—namely, that of imitating the sound of cats,
dogs, frying-pans, &c.—this gentleman ,has probably
not a rival, and strange indeed must be the noise
which he cannot reproduce with startling accuracy,
modified according to every gradation of distance.
List night a numerous audience was attracted by his
performance, which is agreeably seasoned with the
excellent piano-playing of Mr. May.

SURREY THEATRE.
Last evening anew and interesting drama, in three acts,
was produced at this theatre, entitled the World's Games.
It is made up of a variety of incidents, which, while they,
render it most interesting to an audience, make it diffi-
cult to comprise a detail of them in the limited space of
a notice of the performance. The piece professes to
give an exemplification of the vices, virtues, well-doings,
and ill-doings of the year 1851, and .such being its
comprehensive scope, it may be supposed that in the
course of its development much amusement was con-
ferred. Such was the case; for the manner in which
all the characters in the piece were gone through
eltcited unbounded applause, so much so, that at its'
conclusion . the whole of the leading characters
ini the piece were called before the curtain and received
the hearty plaudits of a numerous auditory, for the ex-
cellent manner in which they had performed their re-
spectivo parts—as a guarantee for the success of the
pibco, it may be only necessary to state that Mr. Bruce
Norton, Mr. T. Mead, Messrs. Shepherd and Widdi-
comb,• Miss Cooper, and Miss H. Coveney, represented
the principal characters of the piece. The acting of
Messrs. Shepherd and Widdicomb -in the piece had a
most decided effect, and called forth the hearty applause
of the audience. Mr. T. Mead, as a man who had risen
friom the ranks, and made his fortune by perseverance
and industry against the greatest odds, also did his part
admirably. Tho piece was announced for repetition-
amid much applause, and bids fair to br a gr.4l.at, favourite
with the public. The performanct4 kilstdiqi with
the favourite pantomime of the Merry Ttri)_slif Windsor.

Six,--In Sir Samuel " Political Diary"
there is this entry—" April 1, 1807. Lord Erskine
delivered up the Great Seal, and it was given to
Lord Eldon. Two days before Lord'Erskine parted
with the Seal, he appointed his son-in-law, Edward
Morris, a Master in Chancery. Sir William Pepys
was prevailed on to make a vacancy by resigning.
This is surely a most improper act ofiLord Erskine s.
He ought to have considered himself as out of office
last Wednesday. This is a matter which will draw
reproach on the whole Administration ; though in
every other department they have moat scrupulously,
as I understand, abstained from tbaking any pro-
motions." .

ASTLEY'S A3IPIIITHEATRE.
An interesting and splendid spectacle, entitled
Joan of Arc, was produced at this theatre last even-
ing with the most complete success. It is from the
pen of Mr. Fitzball, and as a dramatic work is wel!
written and well constructed. Mrs. Moreton
Brookes sustained the part of Joan most effectively,
and was well supported by Mr. N. I'. Hicks as the
King. The peculiar resources of Mr. Batty enabling
him "to bring cavalry into the field" rendered the
battle scenes, with which the drama is replete, much
more exciting and much more like reality than
can be the battle scenes at any other theatre.
The spectacle was splendid ; the scene of the corona-
tion of Charles in the Cathedral of Rheims was one
of the most gorgeous and magnificent, and at the same
time most effective ; and the ;last scene, in Rouen,
was as remarkable for the fidelity of its repre-
sentation as for its high merit as a work of art. The
applause at the conclusion was most enthusiastic. The
scenes i❑ the circle followed, and the feats exhibited
were perfectly astonishing. The most beautiful part
of these performances is, in our opinion, the exhibition
of the high Manege ; it is impossible to conceive any-
thing more beautifully graceful than the action of these
high-trained steeds. The humour of Barry as the
clown kept the audience in a continual roar of laughter
during the intervals between the performances. The
house was crammed to suffocation.

WUAT TO EAT, DRINK, AND AVOID.
"That three seore years and ten our course may run."
A popular review of almost every form (cause and cure) of ner-
vously-debilitated health and enfeebled cbusinesonstitution, that haraesses
the young, besets the man of pleasure, s, or study, and m-
bitters old ago, with tables and rules for the
diet and phyaleal rego-
Mien of every-day life.

It has been suggested to me that the insertion of
the foregoing in your paper at the present moment
will save sonic trouble both to those who may be dis-
posed to solicit place, and to those who may be
thought to have the power of disposing of it.
I am. Sir, &c.,

CASE OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC RESI-
DUARY LEGATEE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—A few days ago the ensuing case came be-
fore me professionally. A Roman Catholic testator
has left a considerable legacy to the trustees of a
Roman Catholic chapel to be applied in masses for his
soul. The executor, who is sole residuary legatee,
considers the legacy excessive, regard being had to
the amount of the testator's fortune, and having been
informed that the purpose for which the legacy is ap-
plicable is made unlawful by un English statute, he
has manifested a disinclination to pay it in full. It
has, however, been intimated to him by a Roman
Catholic priest, that unless the entire legacy be paid,
there may be obstacles in the way of his partaking of
the religious comforts looked upon by those profes-
sing his faith as indispensable. Now, in common
with some other counsel to whom I have communi-
cated the facts, I am desirous of learning through the
columns of your paper, whether it is the duty of the
Roman Catholic priesthood to use the spiritual
power of their Church in order thus to defeat an enact-
ment of the English Parliament, or whether the above-
mentioned intimation may be considered as proceed-
ing. only from mistaken zeal ?—I am, Sir, &c.,

which will hold upwards ot 50,C0 gallons of water —equal to

bable that by means of an accessory part of the plan all the
private baths;in Liverpool can be furnished with
salt water.
Of the very poorest classes in Liverpool, it is estimated there
are under instruction in the charity schools of the town
about 20,000, the period of education
being from four to
twelve years of age, or extending over eight years in the
life of each. The average attendance at school is a little
more than three years. There are thus in the course of one
generation two and a half sets of pupils, educated nil-re or
less, or about 50.000 individuals. The number of teachers
is estimated at 800.

tasters as first quality, 9,000 pipes have been taken off and
added to the 18,000 pipes classed as second
quality, and
licensed to be shipped to any place out of Europe, leaving
25,000 pipes which are permitted
or elsewhere. This isjustice to England! and thus the de •
mends of the British Government are set at nought. It is a
positive and well. known fact that of the 18,000 pipes classed
as second quality, a large portion consists of the very best
wines produced in the Douro, but will not be allowed to go

suggestions were thereon invited, to which
a response was
promptly made by a still greater number of influential men,
in a letter addressed to the secretary of the Commission,
pointing out what might be done towards obtaining sites, and
recommending the Commission to encourage private parties
to provide waiting-rooms or haltlng-places, in connexion
with shops, &c ; but in the meantime advising the organi-
zation of a dozen establishments throughout the metropolis
by the Connuissivia itself as an example.—Builder.

SONGS.—' Who'll be an Old )11-an's Darling IP'
and "Push Along ! Keep Noshing or fVeck or

by J. iieuler, Bury-place, Bloomsbury.
The first is a song of an old bachelor, describing
his career in love affairs until the age of seventy,
when, having arrived at the years of discretion, he is
very desirous of getting a wife; by way of atonement
for past folly. The words are humorous, and the
music apprOpriate to give expression .to them. The
" Fiddle liddle chorus of the chuckling old gen-
tleman, extremely anxious to get married, but fully
determined not to have." any cress-grained_ clignet"----

THE CAPTURED EAGLE.—The noble bird captured
by a gamekeeper of John Arkwright, Esq., of Hampton
Court, in this county, has, we are informed, escaped from his
prison. The keeper was doing something to the cage, when
the eagle took advantage of the opportunity to escape from
his ignominious confinement.—Hereford Journal.
THE METROPOLIS BUILDINGS • BlLL.—Yesterday
the Bill brought into the House of Commons by Sir George
Grey to amend the Metropolitan Buildings Act was printed.
It contains no fewer than (45 clauses.
Whittlesea Mere is now free from water, and next
year will, no doubt, be under the plough. Various articles in
gold and silver have been taken from the bottom ; among
other things, a gold censer, very many.swords, and a valu-

LINC LUDDEN ABBEY.—The picturesque ruins of
Lincludden Abbey, near Dumfries, have sustained consider-
able injury in a point which must interest antiquarians.
The Turnpike Tower," a tall isolated clump, fell to the
ground last Sunday. Lincludden Abbey was founded in
1165, and on account of the alleged misbehaviour of its in-
mates, was converted into a college in 1379, and as suety
became the dowry of Margaret, daughter of the then King
of Scotland, when she was married to William, lord of
Nithsdalo and Galloway. The tower which has just fallen
was erected when the building was turned into a collegiate
institution. It formed a very interesting part of. the ruins.
The Royal Scottish arms were richly sculptural on itst front.

DINNER AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—Last night
the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress received nearly 200
of the members of the Court of Common Council and their
wives, at dinner in the Egyptian Hall. At this entertain-
ment there were present the Common Councilmen of his
Lordship's ward, and of twelve other wards, the remaining
wards having been entertained at the banquet on the 12th
instant.
By the decease of the Rev. G. Trevecke, vicar of
Mogan. that extensive and valuable living, estimated at

Lady Bassett.

THE Court' or CHANCERY.—The annual accounts
respecting the Court of Chancery required to be laid before
Parliament were printed on Saturday. The fees received in
the year ending the 24th of November last were 151,4981.
lBs. 4d. Annexed to the return is another, respecting the
business in the Court. In the year ended the 2d of Novem-
ber last there were 8,350 matters disposed of by the Court,
on which day there were 735 appeals, pleas, demurrers, &c.,
standing in the books for hearing.
FIVE CHILDREN PolsONED.—Yesterday an inquest
was held by Mr. H. M. Wakley, the deputy coroner, at the
King's Head Tavern, Little White Lion-street, Seven Dials,
to inquire touching the death of fly am Star, aged nine
years. From the evidence adduced it appeared the deceased
and four other children, on Thursday last, picked up outside
the shop of Mr. Fowler, oilman, Lisle-street, Leicester-
:,qurire, a quantity of beetle wafer (a poisonous compound
used for destroying those insects), and it being sweet in
taste, with a deep red colour, they conceived it to be a
sweetmeat, and ate some of it. Soon after they were attacked
with must alarming symptoms, and Star was taken by his
parents to Charing-cross Hospital. The usual antidotes
were administered, but without effect. It was shown that
the poison in the waters was sugar of lead. The coroner and
jury were of opinion that such dangerous substances should
not be cast into public thoroughfares. Th• jury returned a
verdict of " Accidentally poisoned." The other four chil-
dren arc in a dangerous state, and not expected to recover.
THE MEMBERS FOR THE WEST RIDING.—The
result of the division on Mr. Disraeli's motion on the distress
of owners and occupiers of land, which reached this town on
Friday morning last, took every one by surprise, as it was
not anticipated that the Ministers would have so small a
majority as fourteen in a house of five hundred and fifty-

three Members. The Protectionists hailed it as a virtual
defeat of the Ministry, and the Free-traders were equally
astonished at the closeness of the division ; but the most
astonishing part of all to the supporters of protection was the
fact that ilk. Edmund Denison and Mr. Cobden had joined
hands upon the question. This remarkable vote on the part
of the former gentleman created great disappointment and
1 vexation amongst his supporters and friends in the Doncaster
polling district. At first it was stoutly maintained that a
mistake bad been made in the printing of the division list,
and that the name of Ni. E. Denison was that of the lion.
Member for Halton. This impression, however, was quickly
removed by observing that Mr. Evelyn Denison had paired
off upo:i the motion with the Hon. Manners Sutton. The
farmers were, indeed, loud and bitter in their complaints at
the course adopted by Mr. Edmund Denison, as they justly
considered that the motion of Mr. Disraeli was such as the
Hon. Member for the West Riding might have consistently
and cordially supported. Whatever may have influenced
Mr. Denison in giving his vote against a motion for the re-

INCREASE IN THE COAL TRADE.—The coal trade
in Monmouthshire; is rapidly extending, and so densely
crowded have the ute Docks of Cardiff been, that notwith-
standing every facility for the rapid shipments of coal, much
delay has been experienced in meeting the demand. In
order properly to meet this great extension of the staple trade
of the port and the district, it has been proposed to construct
another dock to the eastward of the present docks, for the
accommodation of large vessels, and a project has been mooted
to convert the sea-lock into a dock. The merchants, and
others interested in the trade, have taken the matter up, an d
petitioned the trustees of the Bute Docks on the subject.
In the valley of Aberdare, Glamorganshire, several very
deep pits are being sunk, with every prospect of success.—
