GENTIERE.

" During the last month your arrandissement hes
been the theatre of serious disorders; rack votive fete
has been marked by attempts at murder. At Orguac
and at Labastade cries menacing death have been
uttered; at Laurac eight gendarmes, drawn
into an odious snare, when assailed by upwards
of 400 insurgents at once, who wounded them all
sever' ly, have owed their safety to their courage.
These facts are not isolated ; they are connected with a
vast system of agitation ; the hand of these men shows
itself in all directions, these votive fetes afford them pre-
text for these tneetings, at which they organiz a scenes
of disorder and murder. To the present I have re-
spected your old customs ; I could not without pain de-
bar you of your amusements, but in pr. sehee of such
events hesitation is no longer permitted. You will led
attached hereto a decree by which such fetes are inter
dieted during the months of August, September, Oc-
tober, and November, 1851. Good citizens will hail
this measure with joy—they will call to mind that these
flees bring desolation into numerous families, and they
will cheerfully sacrifice some pleasures for sake of the
public peace. As to the men of disorder, they are
warned ; if they persist in their projects they will be-
come amenable to justice , and shall be dealt with ac,
cordingly

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1851,

CLOSE OF THE EXHIBITION.

The close of the world's fete of Industry is fixed
for the 11th of October. On that day the Crystal
Palace will shut its doors, and the Exhibition of the
Industry of all Nations, after a career of success as
unprecedented as the Exhibition itself, and as the
Palace in which it was contained, will cease ;
the World's Fair will be over. The consequences,
however, of this magnificent and glorious work will
last, and produce a beneficial and humanizing effect
fur ages to come on the various nations who
have taken part in this great congress of
the world's best men. Friendships have been
formed among men of different climes, pro-
fessing different religions an living under
different Governments, which cannot be broken. No
longer will the calumnies with -Liken every free
nation (and more particularly our own) have
been of late years assailed by those who hate industry
because it leads to self-reliance and self-government,
obtain credence. No! will be the reply of our visitors,
we have seen the land, we have conversed with its
people, and we know, therefore, that you say the
thing which is not.
War is a eame which, were their subjects wise,
Rings would not play at;"
and this peaceful assemblage of the industrious and
talented of all nations is, of all things, calcu-
lated to bestow upon men that wisdom
which is so much lauded by the poet.
Prince ALBERT is the real Apostle of Peace, and the
Great Exhibition the only real and genuine Peace
Congress. The success of this great work has been
so complete that none have ventured to deny
it; but certain grumblers have contended
that the trade of the metropolis has
suffered in consequence. On this point we join issue
with the grumblers. That the exaggerated, not to say
impossible, expectations of certain very sanguine and
very greedy persons have not been realised, we readily
admit; but we contend that more, much
more money has been spent in London than during
any former season since 1814, and, what is better
still, the expenditure, instead of being concentrated
in the hands of a few wealthy aristocrats of the shop-
ocracy, has been expended among a large number
of small traders, and has thus afforded a greater sti-
mulus to general industry and diffused a larger
amount of comfort among a greater number of reci-
pients. Taken as a whole the Exhibition is unparalleled
in the history of human industry ! The idea of
establishing such an Exhibition was as original as it
was great, the magnitude and beauty of the Exhibi-
tion-building was as unprecedented as the idea of the
Exhibition, and the Exhibition itself surpassed in
beauty the most exaggerated expectations, whilst
its success outran the fondest hopes of the most san-
guine of its projectors. Prince ALBERT has acquired
for himself an immortality which the proudest
monarchs and the most successful conquerors might
envy. He is the first Prince who has ever linked
his name indissolubly with the progress of industry
all over the world—the only progress that can secure
to the nations " Peace on earth and good-will to-
wards men."

GERMAN Y.

The German journals state that the settlement of
accounts in the Germanic Diet has given rise to great
difficulties. The States which sent contingents to
Holstein and Baden demand indemnities, on the
ground that the intervention interested all the Con-
federation. Darmstadt refuses to pay any sum until
an indemnity shall be paid for her troops employed
in Baden. Prussia demands several millions from
Baden fur her intervention in the Grand Duchy, but
Baden refuses to pay.
A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, states that an
agent of the Danish Government had arrived i❑ that
city with dispatches, demanding the withdrawal of
the Austrian troops from Holstein.

DENMARK.

The Borsenhalle of Harnburgh states that the
Austrian Government claims from that of Denmark
an indemnity of eight millions of florins (rather
more than 16 millions of francs) for its intervention
in Holstein.

The King of DENMARK had a narrow escape on the
14th. The horses of his carriage took fright and ra❑
away. but were fortunately stopped in time to prevent
any injury to his MAJESTY; the carriage, however,
was so much broken that the KING had to return to
his palace on foot.
A letter from Copenhmgan of the 14th states that
Mr. ST.E.PHENSON, the engineer, and three agents of a
company, are in treaty with the Danish Government
for the formation of several lines of railroad.

It has been found impracticable to open the ex-

first week in November, as was expected, but the
portion of it to Redruth will, it is thought, be com-
pleted and opened by that time. It is understood
that the differences that remained unsettled in con-
nexion with the litigation between the directors and
Mr. Mowatt have, within the last few days, been
finally adjusted.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his herges and heroines. He is a 'writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of monality and religien, an 4 by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects jest mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
3n matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
rMneerge nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has 'naiad ger se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
acmes, and .!nytles."—Observer.

GERMANY.

In the Second Chamber of Prussia, on the 7th, M. DE
YINCKE drew attention to the petition of M. HOFFMAN
a democratic writer, expelled from Berlin, and made
a violent attack on the Ministers for having, by the
expulsion, violated the laws. lie demanded that the
petition should be referred to the Ministers, with a
special recommendation to attend to its prayer.
Two Ministers were present, but neither replied,
and M. DE VINCKE% proposition was adopted.
After this M. DE YIN CKE demanded that his motion
for "An investigation into the situation of the country
in present of the menacing position of Austria in
Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein" should be referred to
a special committee, but this was rejected, and the
matter was ordered to go before the sections in the
usual course.

The First Chamber on the 7th continued the dis-
cussion of the Bill on what are called patrimonial
jurimdictions.

The Cologne Gazette states, on authority of a
Berlin letter, that the Archduke LEOPOLD of Aus-
tria is shortly to be affianced to the Princess Louisa
of Prussia.

A letter from Vienna, of the 2d, in the New
Prussia Gazette, says :—" In connexion with the
recant arrests made here, papers were found be-
longing to a deceased burgher, which showed
that he was secretary of an association for
making collections for the relief of democrats at
home and abroad. This association had several
branches, and it proposed to spread democratic prin-
ciples i❑ the army. Some soldiers, however, whom
it attempted to seduce, denounced this, and eight of
the members were arrested, and are to be brought
to trial before a court-martial for high treason."
"At the commencement of 1848 the public debt
of Austria," says the Cologne Gazette, " was
1,013,000,000 florins, and it has since increased by
564,000,040 florins."

Capital-500,0CM
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)

. ,
The leading principles of this Office aro—Moderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each class of riot —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 anomaly should cease, and an approximation No the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.

The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
,)roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sualciently 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 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 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 are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate I erms.
