LAMBETH.

Mr. Chapel Whaley Fouler, a man of respectable
appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott,
on a charge of being concerned with his brother (not
in custody) in stealing six horses, of the value of
3001., the property of Mr. Philip Law, proprietor of
the Three Nuns livery stables, in Aldgate.
Mr. Games appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
L. Norton for the defence.

From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared
that, having known the prisoner and his brother for
many years, and finding that they were out of em-

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1850,

The result of the contest for the representation of
the county of Limerick has not reached us with any
feelings of surprise. We find that Mr. WINDHAII
GOOLD has been returned, as we anticipated, by a re-
spectable, if not a triumphant, majority over both
oppoiing cAndidates. Captain DICKSON made a
gallant fight under the banners of old Toryism and
Protection ; but it is quite manifest that these effete
principles have become too musty for even the aristo-
cratic coup* of Limerick, while the great and im.
portant question of tenant right would seem to have
suffr.red almost a defeat in the person of MICHAEL
It'LAN, of Bruree, who was, in our bumble opinion,
viost unwisely brought to the hustings by some indis-
creet members of the Tenant League.
We, who have been the unceasing advocates
of the equitable adjustment of the relations
between the landlords and tenants of Ireland, cannot
help expressing our regret that Mr. RYAN should
have been urged forward under the auspices of the
Teneut League upon so inauspicious an occasion.
The enemies of tenant right will deem themselves
nstified in arguing from the result of this election
that the constituency of the county of Limerick is
apathritic on this important subject. Perhaps
superficial observers will go farther, and say the ma-
jority of the electors are OPPOSED to it, and in proof
point to the fact that the Protectionist held a higher
place on the poll than the nominee of the Tenant
League, We regret it also because it has stirred up
the evil passions of an excitable people, and
has engendered feelings of ill• will and bitter-
ness', against those who should be treated with
kkidness and respect. The conduct pursued towards
IJne of the most amiable and independent gentlemen
in the county, Mr. THOMAS FITZGERALD, Q.O , for
merely exercising his right as an elector to vote as
his conscience dictated,
was disgusting and disgrace-
ful. The apostles of the Tenant League had, we
think, fetter resign their missions rather than again
attetnr.t to carry their measures through the angry
Pass; jos of such an infuriated mob as that from 'whose
har,ds Mr. FITZGERALD had FO narrowly escaped per-
srmal violence.

The election of Mr. GOOLD, however, must not be
looked on as anything like a defeat of the principles
of tenant right. The injudicious contrast in
which Mr. RYAN was placed by his sup-
porters, the popular cry that was raised
in .hi 3 behalf, as if Mr. RYAN alone
mor'opolised all feelings of sympathy with the tenant-
fanners of Limerick, must not be taken as conclusive
that. the successful candidate is an enemy to the just
claithsiit the tenant, or that he will not give his beat
exertions to bring ah,out a full, fair, and speedy adijust-
Ineat.of this much called for measure. Indeed, his

Letters from Rome, of the 10th inst., state that the
whole of the neighbourhood cf Rome is in a disturbed
state.

The band of the noted brigand, IL PASSA.TORE, still
infests the road of the Romagna and the chaiu of the
Appenines, adjoining Tuscany. The villages, and even
the small towns, are besieged and laid under contribu-
tion by these audacious bandits, who set all the forces
sent against them at defiance. Tne environs of Rome
are not even exempt from similar alarms. Four or
five small bands have been formed, and from time to
time stop and rob passengers. La,t week Major ALAI,
of the gendarmerie, who was in a carriage with some
other passengers, was completely stripped in the
neighbourhood of Monte Rosa. At Viterbe, a medical
man, well known for his opinions in favour of the
POPE, was killed by a musket-shot at the moment he
was entering his house.
The POPE has prohibited the American residents in
Rome from celebrating Protestant worship.
A letter from Genoa, given in the .Risorgimento of
the 13th instant, states that on the occasion of the
anniversary of the expulsion of the Austrians from
Genoa the Republican party endeavoured to bring
about a revolution. The red flag having been
hoisted at Castellesto in the course of the night of
the 10th, several of the conspirators met at that
place, but on the arrival of a strong body of gendar-
merie they did not venture an attack, and they dis-
persed quietly. The Risorgimento adds that several
of the agitators, who had introduced themselves into
the city clandestinely, had succeeded in escaping by
sea.

An agent of M. ROTHSCHILD'S has made an appli-
cation to the POPE for some concessions in favour of
the Jews, but Cardinal ANTONELLI replied that the
Pontifical Government being ecclesiastical could not
grant the same concessions as other Government-s.
He added, howe%er, that at the period when the tri-
bunals are to he reformed the condition of the Jews
would he ameliorated

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0 'Ol.
(Incorpetrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
rhe 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 calcteation.
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 tisk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
rha - true rate of Pretruum for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
sroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted • n, 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 Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal sic of its own
experience, from time to tie e, 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 inyestiga,ion 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 Pr merty on moderate terms.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

The official Wiens?. Zeitung publishes the follow-
ing general order :
" The army has, within the shortest space of time,
fully answered to all the troubles and demands of mar-
tial preparations; for this I have to thank its excellent
spirit, devoti-n, and discipline. A large part of thut
army, viz., the 4th battalion, and the militia and frontier
battalions, will now return to their domcstice hearths.
My grateful remembrance will accompany them, and I
trust that though far from their glorious standards, they
will, by setting an example of obedience to the laws,
maintain and promote public order, and that. on the first
call of my voice they will again stand forward armed and
eager for the combat.
" FRANCIS JOSEPH.
"Vienna, Dec. 12."

The same number of the Wiener Zeitung publishes
the Emperor's letter-to Marshal Radetzky, itiforming
that General that permission has been granted to him
to return to Lombardy. The Emperor's letter is to
the following purpose :
" My dear Field-Marshal Count Radetzky,—
" At the first intimation of my wish you hastened to
give me the support of your experience and counsels,
and again to draw your gallant sword at the head of
the army which under your command has been ac-
customed to victory. Providence has willed it other-
wise, and although your advice only was wanted, I am
not the less grateful for this fresh proof of your devotion.
I will not henceforward withdraw you from the impor-
tant duties of your post, and I leave you fully to dere-
lope the blessings of the peace you conquered, in the
Crown-land whic has been entrusted to your guidance.
If circumstances should again require it, I am justified
in relying on you as the gallant champion of the honour
of my crown. " FRANCIS JOSEPH."

ceased objects to vaccination, but can offer no reason
for his opinion," and reports from other districts prove
that the person here referred to is not singular in his
prejudice. Other important epidemics are measles,
which numbers 20 cases; scarlatina, 29; hooping
cough, 42 ; croup, 12 ; and typhus, 37. From diar-
rhoea there were only 10 deaths ; two caused by cho-
lera, and recorded thus—ln St. Giles, at 13. Clark's-
buildings, on the 6th of December, the daughter of a
costernionger, aged 3 years, died of " bilious cholera
(24 hours), convulsions (2 hours)." In West Lon-
don, at 16, Dean-street, St. Andrew's, on the 9th of
December, the daughter of a lapidary, aged 16 year?,
died of " English cholera (50 hours)." As described
by the registrar, " the street is narrow, and not very
clean." In connexion with various deaths from scar-
latina and typhus, the registrars are careful to mention
nuisances to which the sufferers have been exposed ;
in one instance, a large cesspool oozing through the
floor, which the inmates of the house find it necessary
to cover with sawdust; in another, " an open sewer
behind the house ;" in a third, " offensive effluvia
from cesspools ;" and in a fourth, a drain "offensive
in the extreme," indeed so bad that the persons who
live there cannot suffer the door to remain open, and
frequently the head of the family is seized with vo-
miting before leaving for his work in the morning.

GERMANY.

Accounts from Berlin of the 16th state that the
Landwehr had been dismissed without any disturbance
of trantuillity, save at one point in the Duchy of
Posen, where there had been a riot, which had been
speedily repressed.
General PEUCICER has consented to act as Prussian
Commissioner in Hesse, and he end Count LEININGEN,
the Austrian Commissioner, are now at Cassel.
A letter from Munich, of the 104 sta►es that M.
DB PFORDTEN, President of the Council of Ministers,
will himself attend the Conferences of Dresden. An.
other letter states that the reduction the Government,
proposes to effect in the army will at fiat be confined
to the first division; and that it will depend on events
whether the second, which is now in Lectoral Hesse,
will also be reduced.

A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the 13d), in
the New Gazette of Prussia, states, in contradiction
to previous accounts, that Marshal RADBTZLY will
certainly return to Italy.

The Gazette of the Empire of Austria, of Vienna,
says in its number of the 12th—" It is said that the
secondary states are dissatis&ii, because their impor-
tance was lessened in the Conferences at °blintz ;
but we are convinced they are wrong. These states
can only have one single object, the maintenance of
their independence ; and the less they are disposed to
act on events, the more certain they will be to obtain
it. The accord of the two great powers protects
them ; the victory of either might have interrupted
the Equilibrium. Everybody asks what is to be done
at Dresden. In our opinion' the best thing would be
to discuss the articles of the federal compact one after
the other. In spite of the hasty attacks of which the
fundamental compact has been the object, it is worth
more than any legislative or diplomatic scheme."
The Duke DE BORDEAUX left Vienna on the 10:h
for Venice.

MUNCHASEN, the head of the Hanoverian Cabinet,
has been appointed Hanoverian Plenipotentiary at
Dresden.

SWITZEIT-AND.
The National Council of Switzerland has fur se-
veral days been occupied in discussing a new electoral
law, which enacts, among other things, that the con-
federation shall be divided into 49 electoral districts
or colleges, and that the number of deputies shall be
120. The Council of States on the 14th adopted, on
the proposition of a committee, by 24 votes to 16, a
resolution inviting the Federal Council to renew the
negotiations for putting an end to the military capitu-
lations with the Crown of Naples, as also with inte-
rested cantons; subject, however, to the condition that
circumstances appear sufficiently favourable to lead to
a satisfactory conclusion : and another resolution was
also adopted, declaring that the decree of the 20th
June, 1849, for the provisional suspension of enrol-
ments, shall not be carried cut.

GERMANY.

Hesse-Cassel will be represented at Dresden by
M. Hissenpflug ; the change in the person of the
Austrian representative has been already stated ;
Count Buol-Schauenstein, who is substituted for M.
Werner, is a relative of Baron Meyendorf, the Rus-
sian Ambassador in Vienna. Count Alvensleben is
the Prussian Envoy ; M. Von der Vfordten will re-
present Bavaria ; M. Von Neursth is mentioned for
Wurtemberg, but is not yet formally appointed ;
M. Von Manteuffel and Prince Schwarzenberg will
be present only at the first stage of the proceedings.

TURKEY,

We have received Constantinople journals to the
4th. They announce that the Sultan continued to
ta'ae an active part in the adininistration of public
'affairs. They contain nothing to confirm the al-
leged discovery of a plot for his assassination. The
last accounts from Aleppo are to the 231 ult.
Tranquillity was perfectly established ; the dis-
turbances which had been apprehended at
Atstab, Berejik, and other parts of Syria, had
not taken place; the principal chiefs of the insur-
Tection had been arrested and sent to Constanti-
nople. The Journal de Constantinople states that
there was no truth in the report that Omer
Pacha had been defeated in Bosnia by the insur-
gents, and compelled to take refuge in the Austrian
territory. lie, on the contrary, had defeated
the rebels wherever he had met with them. The
same journal announces that the commission formed
ei Frenchmen and Turks for the. revision of the
evert. and import tariffs between Prance and
Turkey had entirely terminated it, labours, and that
a new tariff will shortly come into operation.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1850.

The result of the contest fur the representation of
the county of Limerick has not reached us with any
feelings of surprise. We find that Mr. WINDHAM
GOOLD has been returned, as we anticipated, by a re-
spectable, if not a triumphant, majority over both
opposing candidates. Captain Dicksors spade a
gallant fight under the banners of old Toryism and
Protection ; but it is quite manifest that these effete
principles have become too musty for even the aristo-
cratic county of Limerick, while the great and im-
portant questien of tenant right would seem to have
suffered almost a defeat in the person of MIcaAEL
RYAN, of Bruree, who was, in our humble opinion,
most unwisely brought to the hustings by some indis-
creet members of th 2 Tenant League.
We, who have been the unceasing advocates
of the equitable adjustment of the relations
between the landlords and tenants of Ireland, cannot
held expressing our regret that Mr. RYAN should
have been urged forward under the auspices of the
Tenant League upon so inauspicious an occasion.
The enemies of tenant right will, deem themselves
justified in arguing from the result of this election
that the constituency of the county of Limerick is
apathetic on this important subject. Perhaps
superficial observers will go farther, and say the ma-
jority of the electors are orrossin to it, and in proof
point to the fact that the Protectionist held a higher
Place on the poll than the nominee of the Tenant
League. We regret it also becauSe it has stirred up •
the evil passions of an excitable people, and
has engendered feelings of ill will and bitter-
ness against those who should be treated with
kindness and respect. The conduct pursued towards
One of the most amiable and independent gentlemen
in the county, Mr. DIONIAS FITZGERALD, , for
merely exercising
his right as an elector to vote as
his conscience dictated, was disgusting and disgrace.
ful. The apostles of the T.mant League had, we
think, better resign their inisions rather than again
attempt to carry their measures through the angry
passions of such an infuriated mob as that from whose
hands Mr. FITZGERALD had so narrowly escaped per-
sonal violence.

The e:ection of Mr. GOOLD, however, must not be
looked on as anything like a defeat cf the principles
of t4iant right. The injudicious contrast in
which Mr. RYAN was piaci d by his sup-
f, -,l4Altifts, the popular cry that was raised
in K~llis b`ehtlf; as if Mr. RYAN alone
monoNlised all feelings of sympathy withthe tenant-
.
framei4 of Limerick, mnAt not be taken as conclusive
• that di4 successful canclid.de is an enemy to the just
claicus,:of the tenant, or that he will not give his best
'ekerVons to bring about a full, fair, and speedy ajjust-
/fent of this much called for measure. Indeed, his.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates at Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Tremium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Firo 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 net 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 far 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 wi►l consult his interest by
supporting a system ►here, 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 tin-e, 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 terms.

DARING BURGLARIES.

One of the most daring burglaries which has dis-
graced Herefordshire was perpetrated in the parish of
Longtown, during the night succeeding Saturday
last. Between twelve and one o'clock Mr. Pritchard,
a freeholder, living in the above parish, was awakened
by a noise which he considered, and considered truly,
was that of persons attempting to break into his
premises. Mr. Pritchard, who had no clothing on
but his shirt, immediately proceeded down stairs, and
saw three men outside his house, who said that they
wanted bread, and bread they would have. Mr.
Pritchard told the men that, if they would keep quiet
he would give them a loaf of bread and some cheese,
but he had no sooner told them so than they smashed
in one of the windows, the broken glass falling upon
him. They immediately afterwards said that it was
money they wanted, and money they would have.
They had with them an axe and a shovel, and with
these weapons they immediately commenced a bat-
tery upon the door, which they broke open. One
of the burglars then kept guard at the door, whilst
the other two entered the house and proceeded
to search for money. At the commencement of
their search a circumstance occurred which showed.
the quickness of woman's thoughts even in the
midst of danger, and proves the adage true,
that " while man is deliberating woman is acting."
The villians who entered the house observed Mrs.
Pritchard go to a cupboard, and told her that she
had gone there for the purpose of removing money,
but she assured them she bad not, and the villains'
suspicions were lulled. However, whilst at the
cupboard, Mrs. Pritchard contrived to remove some
gold, which she threw into a sack of barley meal.
The men, however, succeeded in finding a £5 note,
a sovereign, 2s. in silver, and a bank receipt for 6001.
The audacious villains then sat down and regaled
themselves with the best fare which Mr. Pritchard's
house afforded, and " ate, drank, and were merry."
Daring the tim? they were tboi employed, Mr.
rtiteltnr4 contrived to make his escape from the.
house ; and Living on no other clothing than hr
shirt, he went to the house of Mr. Griffiths. which. is
about half a mile distant froin.his own, but which,
we believe, is the nearest residence to it. Soon
after he had escaped from the house the villains m is-
sed him ; and no doubt thinking he was gone
to seek assistance, they decamped with their
booty. On his return for for assistance, the
villains had fled. At the time they entered
the house there were no other persons therein
except Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard and a little girl. Each
of the gang bad a handkerchief tied round his head
so as to conceal his features, the eyes, nose, and
mouth being only just distinguishable. They ate 'laid

1,115 (last year, 1,870), decrease, 755 ; making a
total decrease of in and out door poor of 1,022.
Chelsea forms part of the North Surrey District
School, situate at Penge, on the London and Brighton
Railway, where there are 110 children; lunatics at
various asylums, 60.
From the foregoing statements the gratifying fact
is elicited that there is a vast decrease in pauperism,
as compared with the returns of the previous year,
taking the entire metropolis, little less than 30,000.
It will also be readily seen that there are from 80,000
to 100,000 in the receipt of parochial relief. The
parishes of St. George (Hanover-square), Clerken-
well, the East London Union, St. Leonard (Shore-
ditch), St. Margaret, and St. John, and one or two
others, are omitted in consequence of the want of
courtesy on the part of the masters of the workhouses
in not having complied with the request for infor-
mation.
