ALLAN, SON, and CO., respectfully announce
to their Noble Patrons and Ladies generally, that from the
unusual mildness of the season, coupled with a desire to facilitate
the arrangements they are already making for a grand display of
Novelties during the Exhibition of 1851, they have determined at
once to dispose of the whole of their WINTER STOCK ; and to
effect a more speedy clearance, a considerable reduction has been
acceded to in most of the departments. The following are in-
stances :

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 Coss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

EGYPT'.

- -
ALEXANDRIA, FEB. 6.—The Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Haddington, with the Calcutta mail of the
7th of January, arrived at Suez on the 3d instant, with 72
t.itssengers, who proceed to Malta and Southampton, per
Indus, this day.
The Indus, with the London mail of the 24th of January,
arrived here on the 4th, and landed the whole of her valuable
cargo for India, including about forty tons' weight of specie,
of the value of 300,000/. sterling, which proceeded on the
same night on its way to Cairo, thence to cross the Desert to
Suez, for shipment on board the Haddington. The Egyptian
Government gets three-eighths per cent. on the value of its
conveyance across the country.
Among the passengers by the Indus was the Hon. C. A
➢lurray, our Consul-General, and his bride. Said Pasha,
the Admiral of the fleet, sent off his barge for them to land
in, a guard of honour received them at the lauding wharf,
and Abbas Pasha, the Viceroy, has sent down his private.
steamer to convey them to Cairo—an honour which has not
been shown to any consul. Abbas Pasha has a decided
leaning to the English, which is very satisfactory, as no
other measures will be recommended to him but such as will
confer an actual benefit on the country; and to please the
English his Highness will keep the transit in a most efficient
state, as it is at present..
Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent engineer, has left for
Malta, with a party of friends in his yacht Titania. This
gentleman came from Cairo to Alexandria by land, in order
to survey the country, and is very decided in his opinion of
the expediency and great advantage of a railroad between
the two towns.

GERMANY.

The Berlin correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
says that France has made reserves respecting the
admittance of Austria and all her provinces into the
German Confederation, and that a note to that effect
has been presented by the French Ambassador to
the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs. " The
French Government (the note is reported to say)
deems it impossible that Austria shark be achniKed
with all her provinces into the German Confede-
ration without the consent of the powers, loran-
tees of the treaties of Vienna having first been ob-
tained."

Rumours that the combined powers of Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, would undertake a war against
Piedmont and Switzerland in the spring, have bad a
depressive influence upon commercial transactions.
In the TJpper Chamber of Prussia on the 15th,
Baron ARNIM'S motion on the affairs of Holstein was
rejected by a majority of 71 to 41. In the Lower
Cnamber there was a majority of 9 votes on a division
against the income. tax.
Accounts from Vienna of the 12th state that the
Austrian and Prussian armies will occupy the whole
country from Radstadt to Dusseldorf, with their head
quarters at Mayence and Frankfort.
Prince SCHWARTZEINEOG has declared to the Rus-
sian Ambassador at Views, that Austria will not
consent to the incorporation of Schleswig with Den-
mark.
_

The lndependance of Brussels says—" Our cor-
respondent at Frankfort writes that it has been de-
termined by the conferences at Dresden to organise a
permanent army of the Confederation. According to
some persons the chief command of this force is to be
confided alternately to an Austrian Archduke and a
Prussian Prince; but others say that an Austrian
Archduke is always to command in chief, and a Prus-
sian Prince to be second in command. The Arch-
duke ALBERT has already been spoken of, and great
preparations are msking at Frankfort to receive
him."

The Cologne G2zette publishes a letter from
Cassel of the 1 1 th, which states that Count lam-
-INGEN having demanded of the Minister of War of
the ELECTOR whether his troops could be depended
upon for the execution of any orders given by the
Federation, the Minister had called upon the officers
to declare within a delay of twenty-four hours whe-
ther their obedience without conditions could be re-
lied on.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
M. MOCQUARD, Chef du Cabinet of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic, has addressed the following letter to
the editor of the Pays
" Sir,—You have just opened a subscription at the
offices of your estimable journal, notwithstanding the
declaration of the President of the Republic that he
would accept none. That declaration, nevertheless,
could neither give rise to any doubt, nor any ex option.
It is a sacrifice without reservation to the repose of the
country. Under whatever form, therefore, the funds
may be collected, whatever destination may be assigned
to them, the President cannot accept them. He charges
me to repeat this in the most formal manner; and while
thanking those persons whose persevering regard would
ieduco them to cooperate with your personal devoted-
ness, he begs you not to follow up this projected sub-
scription. Accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished
and devoted sentiments."
The Pays states that the PRESIDENT of the Re-
public has given orders for the sale of most of his
horses, and that two valuable English horses, re-
cently imported, have already been sold. The horses
of the PRESIDENT which were at St. Cloud have been
brought to the stables in the Rue Montaigne.
The Assembly, at its rising on Saturday, adjourned
to Thursday, in order to give to the Members an op-
portunity of examining in their bureaux the Bill on
communal and departmental organization.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic has it in contem-
plation to propose to the Assembly a series of mea-
sures for the amelioration of the condition of the la-
bouring classes, which measures, having been sub-
mitted by him to the Odilon Barrot Ministry in
1849, had been by them rejected as having a tendency
to Socialism.

Ihe French Cabinet has sent in a protest to the
Court of Vienna against the proposed incorporation
of the Italian and Sclavonian provinces of Austria in
the German Confederation ; and the French Govern-
ment has received assurances from the English Ca-
binet that England will remain the firm ally of
France, and will assist her in repelling any aggression
on the part of Austria. An army of observation will
be ordered to the German and Italian frontiers.
The Moniteur announces several changes among
the general officers in command of brigades. General
HERBILLON has been appointed to the Ist brigade of
the 3d division of the army of Paris; General LE
VAILLANT to the command of a subdivision at Toulon;
General MELLINET to that of a brigade of infantry
at Lyons ; and General NOEL to that of a sub•division
at Alenpn.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

-MO
CORN EXCHAN GE.-(IVIONDA Y.)
The leading country markets held on Saturday were
tolerably well supplied with most kinds of English Wheat, in
which only a limited business was trans Acted on somewhat easier
terms. Fine foreign Wheats were mostly held at extreme
quotations, but the m.ddling and inferior qualities were lower.
In Barley next to nothing was doing; but Malt supported
previous currencies. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and
Flour were almost nominal.

Letters front New York to the sth inst., state that the mar-
ket for " bread-stuffy" was inactive, at unaltered prices. In
the Baltic and Black Sea ports very little has been doing of
late for spring shipment ; but tho transactions in Flour in
France are still very extensi e.
Only moderate suppli:s of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week ; but from Ireland upwards
of 13 060 quarters of Oats reached us. The foreign imports
were, !,6SB quarters Wheat, 1'2,•238 Barley, 12,251 Oats,
147 Beans, 869 Peas, 746 Tares, 1,582 Linseed, 1,763 Rape-
seed, 6,775 sacks and 260 barrels Flour.
The supply of English Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's, market, coastwise, from Essex, was very small,
but of considerably improved quality. Prom Kent, Norfolk,
&c., the receipts by water• carriage were very moderate. A
few parcels came fresh t hand, per railway, from Cambridge-
shire, .Nortolk, &c., and the show of samples of both red
and white was slightly on the increase. Notwithstanding
that the attendance of both town and country millers was
comparatively small, the demand for most kinds of Wheat of
home produce, arising chiefly from their improved condition,
the result of the change in the weat her, was steady at prices
fully equal to those obtained an Monday last, and a good
clearance of the stands was effected prior to the close of busi-
ness. The transactions for forward shipment from the East
coast were trifling.
We were again well supplied with foreign Wheat, ex
granary, as well as from ship-board Fine dry samples sold
somewhat steadily at full prices, but the middling and infe-
rior kinds commanded scarcely any attention at late rates.
Two cargoes of Polish Ode,sa, afloat ff Falmouth, sold at
335. per quarter, freight, cost, and insurance included.
The quan ity of Barley Ix ought forward was again large.
Malting parcels met a moderale inquiry at previous care❑-
cies, but grinding and distilling aorta were dull in the
extreme.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—From the report of the debate on the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, I
perceive that the Hon. Member for the county of Ayr (with
which lam connected) has favoured the house with his
opinion on that important measure. Considering the fact,
that the Blouse is but rarely favoured with the eloquence of
the Hon. Member, his opinions are, probably, on that account
entitled to the more respect. I have no desire to act uncha-
ritably towards him, but I cannot resist the temptation of
correcting an assertion which he made in the course of his
remarks, and which will have a damaging influence
on the character of the constituency which he repre-
sents. He said, "No public meeting bas been held in
the county which I represent, which may be considered
the stronghold of the Covenant." lam not aware what
the Hon. Gentleman deems a public meeting, but I can in-
form him that a meeting was held in the county town, which
was attended by gentlemen, lay and clerical, from almost all
the Protestant bodies, and which passed resolutions that up-
hold the character of the descendants of the Covenanters.
My memory does not serve me well on the matter, but I am
inclined to think that the meeting referred to was not a soli-
tary one. One thing lam assured of, that from no county,
in proportion to its inhabitants, have more petitions been raised
on the question of Papal aggression ; and I am convinced
that any of Mr. Oswald's constituents who belong to the
Free Church are at his service at any time to state to him
the difference which exists between the right which they
claim for their spiritual head in the Church of Scotland, and
that of the Pope in claiming the spiritual superintendence of
all within his bishops sees. By inserting the above you will
oblige, Your very obedient servant,

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
- Capital-500,0"01.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. HO.)
The leading principles of this Office are —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 anomr.ly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Firo Insu-
rance Company is established.

Yhe true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
mached through Classification and Average, which has not laitkerto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically ensiled.
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 se 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 propertloned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal six of its own
experience, from time to tire, 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 eent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

Insurances against Coss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Prouerty on moderate terms.

The paper is more frequently stolen in times of
excitement than on ordinary occasions, which makes
the grievanee the greater.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Intelligence from China reports the death, at Hong-Kong,
of Commander J. M. R. Ince (1146), of the Pilot, 12. Com-
mander Ince was appointed to this ship November, 1849, on
the promotion of Captain Lyons. This is the third commao.
der's vacancy that. has fallen to the patronage of the Admi-
ral since hit appointment.
Commander Thomas Coakley (1840), on the retired list,
died on the Bth instant, aged 73. He entered the navy Ja-
nuary, 1;98; was at the capture of Le Mentor, 14, privateer;
was acting Lieutenant of the '1 emeraire in the battle of
Trafalgar; and was in Lord Gambier's operations against Co-
penhagen, 1807, and at the reduction of St. Paul's, Isle de
Courbon.

Commander Soady (1822), lately retired from the service
of the Ordnance department, died last week in the 64th year
of his age. He entered the navy September, 1800, and served
afloat 19 years during the war. He was in Sir R. Calder's
action, was made a lieutenant in 1807, served in the defence
of Rosas and Cadiz, and was in the North American expedi-
tions. His last gallant service was at the battle of Algiers,
in the Nyn:phe, in which action, when the Captain and se-
nior Lieutenant had been placed hors d.: combat, he com-
manded the ship; notwithstanding, he was not promoted
until 1822. He held the appointment of Superintendent of
`hipping belonging to the Ordnance Department, from July,
1830.

SUMMARY.

In the Commons, aftertheTransaction of some preli-
minary business, the House teso:ved itself into a Com-
mittee of Ways and Means, and

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to bring
forward the Budget, and appealed to that indulgence of the
House which ho had often experienced. He deeply felt that
importance of the proposals he was about to make. On
former occasions when he lad proposed the continuance
of the income-tax there had been but little choice left to
the House, but on the present occasion he felt there
might be seine opposition made to its continuance.
The financial statement of the affairs of the nation up
to the sth January would give a very tolerable idea of
what would be the state of affairs at the end of the
financial y ear, but it should be borne in mind that in the
estimate he was about to submit the estimate
would extend over a period of 14 months. The impor-
tations of corn during the past year were nearly, but not
quite equal to the importations of last year. Last
year he had estimated, the income at 52,285,0001,., the

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, FED. 6.—The Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Haddington, with the Calcutta mail of the
7th of January, arrived at Suez on the 3d instant, with 72
tassengers, who proceed to Malta and Southampton, per
Indus, this day.
The Indus, with the London mail of the 24th of January,
arrived here on the 4th, and landed the whole of her valuable
cargo for India, including about forty tons' weight of specie,
of the value of 300,0001. sterling, which proceeded on the
same night on its way to Cairo, thence to cross the Desert to
Suez, for shipment on board the Haddington. The Egyptian
Government gets three-eighths per cent. on the value of its
conveyance across the country.
Among the passengers by the Indus was the Hon. C. A
Murray, our Consul-General, and his bride. Said Pasha,
the Admiral of the fleet, sent off' his barge for them to land
in, a guard of honour received them at the landing wharf,
and Abbas Pasha, the Viceroy, has sent down his private
steamer to convey them to Cairo—an honour which has not
been shown to any consul. Abbas Pasha has a decided
leaning to the English, which is very satisfactory, as no
other measures will be recommended to him but such as will
confer an actual benefit on the country; and to please the
English his Highness will keep the transit in a most efficient
state, as it is at present.

Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent engineer, has left for
Malta, with a party of friends in his yacht Titania. This
gentleman came from Cairo to Alexandria by land, in order
to survey the country, and is very decided in his opinion of
the expediency and great advantage of a railroad between
the two towns.

N 0 TTIN GHAMSRIRE ELECT/01V.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—Disraeli's minority, and the result of the South Notts
election, are evidences of the distressed state of the farmers.
Disraeli's motion also proves how unahle or unwilling he is
to point out the real cause of the evil - anything more wild
and visionary than Disraeli's remedies cannot be imagined.
Sir James Graham again puts his finger on the blot—" I
tell the country gentlemen that if they seek to operate
through the medium of the currency, they must go much
farther than the Bank Act of 1844."
Will neither of these men speak out? Then the people
" out of doors" must make them. And this, with the diffi-
culties daily rising up in increased magnitude before one, it is
my humble but sincere endeavour to urge upon the people.
Many thanks for your continued and patriotic support of
our unpopular cause. It is advancing, it will prevail. But
what unnecessary accumulation of suffering, distress, and
ruin must this country go through before it can be brought to
see where the remedy is to be found!
A farmer naturally regards his landlord as the greatest
man in the county, and in ordinary times will do anything
for him. What pressure of distress, therefore, must there
have been to force the tenants to join the small freeholders
in this county in resisting the Dukes of Portland and New-
castle, the Earls of Chesterfield, Scarborough, and Manvers,
Lord Middleton (all very large landed proprietors), Earl
Howe, and nearly every county gentleman in the division,
mid to prevail!
I intend to try to batter down the bugbear of " Deprecia-
tion of the currency." We don't wish to injure the credit or
interest; it might be affected in some degree, but I believe
that all interests would ultimately be greatly benefited.

The Arctic has brought specie to the amount of
25,000.

The Canada arrived at Halifax on the 3d inst., after
a rough passage.

In bongress no proceedings of interest had taken
place.

A steamer called the John Adams had gone down with

Nicaragua accounts to the 31st of Dec., report that
;he port of San Juan had been made free to all nations.

The canal operators were rapidly progressing, the

GERMANY.

The Berlin correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
says that Prance has made reserves respecting the
admittance of Austria and all her provinces into the
German Cenfederation, and that a note to that effect
has been presented by the French Ambassador to
the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs. " The
French Government (the note is reported to tra3)
deems it impossible that Austria shall be admitted
with all her provinces into the German Confede-
ration without the consent of the powers, guran.
tees of the treaties of Vienna having first been ob-
tained."

Rumours that the combined powers of Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, would undertake a war against
Piedmont and Switzerland in the spring, have had a
depressive influence upon commercial transactions.
In the Upper Chamber of Prussia on the 15th,
Baron ARNIM'S motion on the affairs of Holstein was
rejected by a majority of 71 to 41. In the Lower
Chamber there was a majority of 9 votes on a division
against the income-tax.
Accounts from Vienna of' the 12th state that the
Austrian and Reussian armies will occupy the whole
country from Radstadt to Dusseldorf, with their head
quarters at Mayence and Frankfurt.
Prince SCHWARTZRNSERG bas declared to the Rus-
sian Ambassador at Vienna, that Austria will not
consent to the incorporation of Schleswig with Den-
mark.

The lndepend,ance of Brussels says—" Our cor-
respondent at Frankfort writes that it has been de-
termined by the conferences at Dresden to organise a
permanent army of the Confederation. According to
some persons the chief command of this force is to be
confided alternately to an Austrian Archduke and a
Prussian Prince ; but others say that an Austrian
Archduke is always to command in chief, end a Prus-
sian Prince to be second in command. The Arch-
duke ALBERT has already been spoken of, and great
preparations are snaking at Frankfort to receive
him."

The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from
Cassel of the 11th, which states that Count LEIN..
MOEN having demanded of the Minister of War of
the ELECTOR whether his troops could be depended
upon for the execution of any orders given by the
Federation, the Minister had called upon the officers
to declare within a delay of twenty-four hours whe-
ther their obedience without conditions could be re-
lied on.
