Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-300,000/.
(Incorporated under 7 and Pt Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ars —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting tke elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
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 be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tirre, 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 mad
of
each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per centad . 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 upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency
of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF
LIFE.
The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re-
newa ]of premium.
By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all
those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors
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 accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company
will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.
Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and
on any railway in the United Kingdom.
The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following
terms, viz.:—
For every Policy of 100/. OE. ss. I For every Policy of 1,000/. 27. 2e.

UTILITY AND ORNAMENT.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expresi'd in fancy ; rich—not gaudy ;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
Utility and ornament are the two essential purposes which dress
is intended to serve ; and it is impossible to make an observation of
natural objects, without seeing and acknowledging that art in this
respect is but the copyist of nature. The world is a wide wardrobe,
which furnishes an infinite variety of clothing for its eqally infinite
variety of objects. There is, perhaps, not an object u
in the whole
round of creation animate or inanimate, which does not set man an
example in point ,of utility and ornament. Nature not only clothes
her creatures with useful and ornamental dress, but, likewise, sup-
plies a degree of instinct necessary to a careful preservation of
her gifts.
If we want to notice objects in which nature has more particularly
displayed her decorative hand, we have but to turn our eyes for
such examples of beauty in innumerable varieties to appear.
The vegetable kingdom, which at this season of the year under•
goes so beautiful a resuscitation, presents to the view all that is
delicate and elegant; and every tinted petal is a proof that orna-
ment Is one of nature's essential elements. The bed of the ocean is
s
rich with shells, which, while they protect their occupants, possess
deepness of dye and a variety of blending colours, such as defy the
utmost efforts of the pencil even to approach.
The feathered race is also a striking instance of the regard which
nature has to beauty of appearance. The golden eagle that sears in
the blaze of sunshine, sts if proud of its beauty, and the many-co-
loured goldfinch trimming its plumes by the brook-side, are but in-
stances of the pains which nature takes in decorating har children.
There is not a part of the civilised globe, however remote, whose
inhabitants do not emulate nature, more or less in point of utility
and ornament.
It is true the particular form of attire varies in different countries
as much as features and colexion ; but, still, the principle pre-
vails, and personal protectionmp and adornment are studied by all.
The present is a singularly favourable opportunity for observing
the different notions of the different nations in attire. The scene
which London and its suburbs now presents is motley in the ex-
treme. Our public highways and assemblies display an interesting
conglomeration of characters. French, Asiatic, Austrian, German,
Russian, Prussian, American, Bohemian, and Italian are so inter-
mingld, thwe can make oar observations on the customs and cos-
tumese of the various tribes of the earth without incurring the trou-
ble and expense of travel.
It must be evident to everybody, that, amid all this diversity of
dress, the beautiful and serviceable attire of HYAM and Co., is pre-
eminently superior for utility and ornament. All that taste and
elegance in which France is so undoubtedly gifted are inimitably
displayed by HYAM and Co., in their present stock of gentlemen's
dress ;and the daily-increasing favours which the proprietors receive
are sufficient proof that EXAM and Co.'s style and make iu dress
are regarded in no less a light by the public at
Possessing, as HYAM and Co. do, all the necessary qualifications
both for purchase and manufacture ; and having at command a Ca-
pital commensurate with the vastness of their tenfold speculations,
little doubt can remain on the minds of the most incredulous as to
the valid character of the Proprietors' assurances.
Ornament and utility, however naturally desirable, and however
essential (tor such they are), should nevertheless be ensured by the
seller, and secured by the buyer, at as moderate an expenditure as
possible. And here If YAM and Co. would lay particular emphasis
cheapness is one of the ruling elements of their system, and has
ever been a feature prominently marked at their Establisbe inimi-
hments,
the fashions of which are pronounced by the best judges to
table specimens of utility and ornament.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS,
ARE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE
THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD.
Old Parr, by a simple herbal medicine prepared by himself—and
the prescription or mode of preparing which has been fortunately
discovered within these few years—preserved his health and mental
faculties during the reign of ten Kngs and Queens of E: gland. The
attention of all classes has been attracted to the undeniable virtu♦. of
Parr's Life Pills, and a vast majority of the people have evinced
their unqualified approval of the high character awarded this medi-
cine, and are daily becoming more and more convinced, not only of
the efficacy, but, to use a more familiar term, the innocency of this
renovator of the human race.
Purchasers are also requested to observe that the fac-simile of the
Proprietors' signature, "T. Roberts and C 0.," Crano•court, Fleet-

SPORTING NOTES.
No. LX.
THE YORK SPRING AND BATH MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
Sirs—One of my fancy animals (the John o'Gaunt colt)
for the first great handicap of the season (the Northampton-
shire Stakes) has, at last, accomplished what I then pre-
dicted he would, that is, win one of the spring handicaps.
On Tuesday, ha won the Suffolk Stakes very cleverly from
King Charming, Fortuna, and a small e field, which included
Cane, who was fourth, and the crack, th colt by
Caradoc out of Miss Julia Bennett, v,dio was nowhere !
Barcelona having been coughing several days, did not run.
The winner has received the co ;nomination liungerford.
The Ten Soya. Stakes fur two years old c :me off pretty nearly
as I expected it would; the colt by Orlando out of Mali-
bran, to whom I assigned the first place, was beaten
a'neck by Moult= Lass, the progeny of Them and Red
Tape, and Sabra ran home in the identical position I awarded
her, viz., third : France, with the Heiman Platoff filly aad
llsitoe colt, were all but beaten off. These two are the only
stakes which merit any notice at my bands, that have ben
decided during the three days' wretched sport brought to a
close yesterday at Newmarket.
Next week, which properly, as being the one preceding
Epsom, should have been free from meetings, we have two
of rather more than ordinary importance—the York and
Bath; the former commences on Tuesday with the Zetland
Stakes of 10 sows. each, &c., for two years old colts and
fillies; 24 subs. The majority of the entries are dark as
Erebus; the only two of any note that have been out—
Lizzy and The King of Trumps, however, being mighty
enough to stop the debuts of several of the youngsters that
would otherwise have been brought out on this occasion.
I may, however, observe, that Lord Eglinton's con") le—
Shagram and Pelopidas are tidy animals; and that Mr.
Cuthbert's Glendinning and Mr. Stebbings's Young Haw-
thorn are not to be despised. More anon. The Cham-
pion Handicap of -10 soya. each, &c., ought to
fall to the lot of the Knight of the Garter, 3 yrs, sst 61b,
or Post-Tempore, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Castanette, 5 yrs 7st
41b, and Windhound, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b, third and fourth ; the
Saxon and Tightwaist, I do not fancy for this race, notwith-
standing their excellent running this year. Among
once
nominations for The Spring St. Leger, figures the
high-sounding name of Lightfoot, whom I shall actually pass
over for this little stake, and take Azeth or Tightwaist as
the absolute winner. Next on the list for decision stands the
great match for 1,000 sous. a side, h ft, two miles over the
old course, between the world-famed winners of the Derby
and St. Leger—Voltigeur 4 yrs Bst, and the once invincible
Flying Dutchman, 5 yrs, Bst B,lelbs; this match is, of course,
the great attraction of the meeting ; and swarms of the race-
loving public will rush to York by the half-price trains from all
quarters, to see decided the greatest match between two of
the noblest animals that have contended for the palm of
superiority since the time when Mao, King of Syracuse, or
Phrenicus, and Philip of Macedon, on his brother to Buce-
phalus, contended for the wreath of victory in the Olympic
games, a matter of some eighteen centuries ago. It may
not be generally known, that these distinguished horses were
bred within a dozen miles of each other, Voltigeur at Hart,
near Hartlepool, Durham ; and the Flying Dutchman
at Kirkleatham, near Gainsborough, in Yorkshire—the
respective breeders being Mr. Robert Stephenson, and
the late Mr. H. Vansittart. They are about the best horses
that have ever trod the turf, and the " champion" of the
too will be fully known by the result of this great match,
should both horses come well to the post, which, I believe,
will be the case. The great match between Hambletonian
and Diamond, run at Newmarket some years ago, pos-
sessed considerable interest at that day ; likewise
the great match between Filho da Puta and Sir
Joshua. But both these matches must fall into insigni-
ficance when compared with the Dutchman and Voltigeur's.
It may not be known to every turfite, that when Martha
Lynn was in foal to Voltaire, she was offered for 351. Mr.
11. Stephenson (brother to Mr. R. Stephenson) being in want
of a brood mare, applied to his brother, and was shown three
mares, all in foal. I believe that the three were Martha
Lynn, Yarico, and a mare by Cain, dam by Brutandorf, out
of Voltaire's dam ; and he was told that he might have his
choice of the three for 25/. Martha Lynn was heavy in foal
at the time, and her produce was Voltigeur, which, as is
well known, won both Derby and St. Leger. This would
have proved a magnificent speculation' but Mr. 11.
Stephenson selected for his purchase the Cain mare; and
his brother afterwards sold Voltigeur for 1,000/., I believe,
to Lord Zetland. For a portion of the foregoing I am in-
debted to a contemporary. lam given to understand that
the jockeys named in the columns of The Sun in January
laet are those engaged to ride, viz., Nat on Voltigeur and
Marlow on the Flying Dutchman. Respecting their merits
the public, I think, had better judge for themselves; in
their last race, for the Doncaster Cup, the running was
little or no criterion to judge by; the Dutchman, although
I believe, according to orders, was ridden very injudici-
ously, having to give Voltigeur at that time lelbs for the
year, he ought to have made a waiting race of it,
when, in all probability, he would have won. The Dutch-
man now gives but 8 isSlbe for the year, being exactly 8 oz
under weight for age ; and although in any opinion it is a
toss up for choice between the pair, I shall go for youth and
Nat to pull my judgment through ; so shall expect to read
the judge's decision thus :
VOLTIGEUR, 4 yrs, Bst ...... ......... ........... (Nat) 1
FLYING DUTCHMAN, 5 yrs, Bst Blbs (Marlow) 2
Won by half a length.
The other match between the Fleur de Lis filly and
Baron Martin ought to be won by the latter, but I
doubt it much. Not expecting to see the potent
names of the Flyer or Voltigeur figuring on the card as
starters for the York and Aiusty Cup, I shall stand on
NANCY. Lord Eglinton will probably win the stakes
named after himself. For the Spring Ebor Handicap of 20
sous. each, etc., with 100 added; I think Backbiter, 6 yrs,
Bst 21b —Achyranthes, 4 yrs, Est ,I`2lb—and York -you'r-
wanted, 4yrs, fist 1110, look the most like business ; first and
last for choice. The last race being over at York on Wed-
nesday, it will be a good race against time to double about
so as to be at Bath on the following morning, where the
sports commence soon after one, with the Lausdown Trial
Stakes of 15 sous. each, etc., one mile. The Knight
of the Thistle and Pitsford will be first and second for
this stake. For the Somersetshire Stakes, I do not
anticipate seeing a large field at the post, not more than eight
or nine at the outside ; and, according to the betting, if you
take that as any criterion, and you must do so now-a-days,
the winner is certain to be one of the following four :—Cloth-
worker, 5 yrs, Ist 91b Cheerful, 5 yrs, 7st—The Ban, 3 yrs,
sst 121b--Terpsichore, 3 yrs, 4st 81b. In my opinion, on the
Bath course, it is more than 7 to 4 agst The Ban ; he is a
good horse, and will most assuredly be first or second ; but,
for the absolute first if I must pick from the four mentioned
above, I should be inclined to exclaim, in Shakspere's words,
" An unaccustomed spirit
Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts."
The Weston Stakes Adine will, in all probability, win. It
is my intention, in my next Note, to publish my remarks
most on
the presumed starters for the great Derby of 1851,
probably on Monday evening, when I shall lay before you
all the odds and ends connected with that important stake,
and attempt the selection of the winner.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Imperialists are agitating in every part of the
country for the purpose of endeavouring to get tip
petitions for a revision of the Constitution. The re-
actionary journals publish a form of petition, of which
they recommend the adoption.
Instructions have been dispatched to the French
Minister at Lisbon to aid, as far as prudent, the cause
of the Count of THOINIAE.
The Bulletin de Paris says

" Attempts are making to oivo currency to a rumour
that differences have arisen between M. Loon Faucher
and M. I3aroche, and that M. Leon Faucher is to retire
from the Cabinet, and to be replaced as Minister of the
Interior by M. Beroche, M. Drouin de l'Huys replacing
M. I3aroche at the Ministry for Foreign Affair. This
rumour is utterly destitute of foundation."
The Illessager states that all the officers of the
horse and foot Republican Guard, and the Prefect of
Police, are to dine this day at the Elysai with die
PRESIDENT of the Republic
The Committee on the Internal Administration
Bill decided on postponing till Monday the examina-
tion of the Bill presented by Government for the
prorogation of the powers of the Councils.
The following is the strength of the French navy
according to an official list lately drawn up :
" Sailing Vessels:-6 line of battle ships of 120
I guns each; 4 of 100 guns; 9 of from 82 to 90 guns;
0 of 80 guns; 12 first-class frigates of 60 guns; 14 of
from 50 to 52 guns; 11 of from 40 to 46 guns; 301 co-
rvettes; 4 t brigs; 43 small-armed vessels, and 32 trans-
ports. Steamers:-1 line of battle ship of 50 guns, of 960
horse-power; 20 frigates of from 450 to 650 horse-power;
5 corvettes from 320.t0 450 horse-power; 22 from 220
to 300; 57 smaller steamers of different powers. 49
sailing, and 8 steam-vessels are now building at the dif-
ferent ports.
The Colonel of the National Guard of Grenoble
has been suspended for having in an order of the
day issued on the 4th of May inserted these words :
" We will file the Republic in silence, and in the
bottom of our hearts."
