My dear frien.l,—l cannot permit, after your kindness to me, any oppirtunity to sees without acquainting you with our whereabouts, etc. We are now tearing up for C irk, and not without strong and satisfactory cause. Since we left Liverpool, six weeks ago, we have had I. sad time of it, nothing but violent gales from the west ward, enough in all reason to weary the patierefe of Job. Smallpox has broken oat amongst the peasenzers, and spread alarmingly sad rapidly, end we have had eight deaths. Elia of the crew are also laid up with it. Under such oranastances of awful weather, and contagious moue on breed, Ceptain Funk determined to bear up ter Foyal, as .rcr water had become short from the voyage being so long and protracted, and some le akue, by the casks having shifted daring the gales. It wee alterwares considered that, Fayel being a Portuguese settlement, quarantine ogulations vrJuld prevent atehorags or communication with the shore. Captain Fenk therefore consulted with his officers, and finally determined to bear up for C-rk on the 17th instant. You will perceive that we made us much progress in five or six days as we did previously in fire or mix were'.l., prevy coselsove testimony of the sort of weather we have expo rieaced. We shall be is Cork to-morrow morning, and Is is pos. ble we may be there fur a fen days. With reienaai to the captain, it gives me sincere pleasure to say that he is the personification of kindness itself to his pusengers in the tabs and steerage. I could soy much on this subject, but that as a seaman and a gentleman his character is well kaolin to you.

'A portion of tse followiog eppe•red in gros'er part of r Impression of lut evosiogl : - - - - - • A fire, which fora brief period timatenel the ex istence of this palatial edifice, broke out yesterday afternoon, at balf•paat two o'clock, in a iti,rey of the Clock Tower, on the side faring Westminster bridge. Owieg to the hitherto unesplaiced presence of a quautity of timber zaatertale to this tower, the flames rose wits • vigour rarely observed in the conflagrations of buildings where stone bean so lards • proportion to wood as in the New BOOMS. From a quarter to three o'clock until half•put the tower was more or less concealed in • cloud of dense smoke. By ten minutes pawl throe o'clock the en&ne of the eetablisbnien., directed by Mr. Wing, chief fireman of the house, with others of the London brigtde, were brought to act on the burning materials, and in about half an hoar the times were extirgnished. During the interval between the cutburst and suppression If the fire, Westminster bridge was crowded with spec:awn, and every point commanding a view of the structure wee ocenpied. In Westminster•hall the cscitement attending the transient prospect of a burning out gave a temporary fillip to tLe lagging oratory of one or two learned gentlemen, bat beyond this left the progress of beeineas unaffected. GREAT CONFLAGRATION IN THE CITY. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning a fite of serious magnitude, involving • very he►vy loss of property, broke out in the long rinse of premises belonging to ?tears. Benefield and Sour, wholesale clothiers and outfittere, the front buildings being numbered I'.G and 127, Iloundslitch. The basintse was one of the largest at the cut end of London, upwards of 1,600 hands being employed by the firm. The property comprised three warehouses, extending backwards to a con- s:derabla extent. Those fronting the main street had bets formed out of two capacio•ts houses: • em►ll portion was occupied by the domestics. In a line with the front part of the premises, and adjoining, ran two fine laity buildings, one 120 feet in length, and the other about 60, both four stories high, and bad been erected about two years ago, at • cost of 7,000. The three buildings coni muniestad with each other on every floor, iron smarm or doors elachig up the apertures at night. Each warehouse contained a very heavy stock, principally garments (slope) which had been made up for exportation. There was also a considerable amount of woollen and other goods in the piece. Wi h respect to the origin of the bre, not the slightest idea can be formed by the firm. In the construction of the buildings every precaution was adopted to secuse them from the ravages cf fire, by substituting iron girders tor the ordinary timber beams, yet the nestructi is apparently as great as it they had been built in the usual manner. On Saturday evening about seven o'cl..ck, the realm' were closed in the regular our*e of business, and Mr. Bonifield, as we, his prectice, went over the establishment with ene of the clerks and saw that all was safe. The doors were locked, and the warehouse remained cloud the whole of Sunday. The lint intimation of the property being on fire was given shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday morning, by some parties who resided in one of the houses in a gateway, on tee south side of the warehouses, leading to the Jews' Infant School. One of these individuals had been aroused by the reflection of a great glare of light in her room, and on g Aim to the window discovered the opposite building to be en fire. Dimes were issuing from the counting-hcuse windows at the western part of the establishment. On alarming the rest of the inmates ire the house, no time was lost in knocking op those residing on the premises of Mr. Bousfieid, anti giving the alarm to the City police on duty in the street. With great alacrity the news was conveyed to a fire-brigade elation in Jeffrice-etiusre, the engines of which were inuncdiattely coovoyed to the spot. During that brief period, however, the fire ohtsini el an !CO:MAO amend_ *my; the flames had eatcntled along the whole ba ement floor of the centre warehouse, and were winding up the principal staircase and firing the tipper stories. Intelli gence of the outbreak having been despatched all our the metropolis, a general turn-out of the brigade ensued, end ere half an hour had 'lapsed the neighbourhood around the othgration was crowded with engines, •igomrely playing upon the blazing buildings. Tte lituitsd width of the avenue leading to the property in the rear ma dered the operations of the firemen very ediktat and hersrdcus, and it was only by scaling the roof of the opposite building that any favoarabvi commend could be had over the destructive element. Other engines, who were at work at the gable enu of the premises, had to adopt a similar amuse before they could obtain an effectual bearing on the dunes. By 7 o'cleck the scene had aremened an awful appearance, the whole of the main buiidiosts, from end to end and but meet to roof, were in one gen.mal burning mass, illumina•ing the entire city. Toe alum and distress that prevailed among the iatiabitaats to the vicinity of the Jane' Exchange and Petticlat lane, at the back of the warehouse, smelted much eommiutration. The streets being below the level of the main thoroughfares in Iluundtditch, the water from the plug. completely swamped those densely populated localities and Hooded the houses to a cAmiderable extent, inflicting much misery aLd loss on the unfortunate occupants. In some instances the unh,ppy creatures stead in great peril of being burnt to death by the dense shower of burning fragments that kept falling upon and about them, others got seriously hurt by being thrown down by the mob, and pro- bably would have been drowned but fur the pretence of a strong force of the City police, whose duties were now Vying. Fur some time the firemen had but faint hopes of preserving the remainder of the warehouses, the one facing lioundsditch and the other at the ex tremity of the main or gutted building. Beery means were adopted for their preservation, and although the Intensity of the heat and smoke rendered the office of the firemen one of much *offering, they finally succeeded in keeping the flames at bay, and rescuing this potion of the property from destruction. It was nine o'clock, however, b.fore this could be accomplished. During the remainder of the day an immetre quantity of fire continued to burn within the walls of the main building consumed, and some dozen engines were k. pt playing on the ruins up to a late hour last evening. While the brlgailemen were actively engaged in stopping the fire, • friantful accident happened to one of their corps, • young married man, named Bolinger, attached to the Waterloo-road station. With another of the body, the unfortunate fellow was standing in one of the window openings in the putted centre were hous►, directing a stream of water from a branch pipe into the body of the rotor. Without the slightest warning, the flooring of the story gave way, and the falling joists striking him, knocked him out of the window, and, shucking to relate, be fell on to some iron relines beneath, which completely impaled him. The points of the spikes pene tutted his body to the extent of several inch. s. A comrade, a fireman, a very powerful young man, who happened to be close by, instantly caught the pax falew in his arms, and careutly lifted him off the spikes. A sitn.ter being pro. cured, he was with all haste removed to the London Hos pital, where it wes found. that be had sustained very serious injury. Throughout the day the neighbourhood of the ruins was thronged with assay honored& hi the eoreptupl. moray females, who for a time are necaustily thrown out disrupt°, meat by the unfortunate event. From what has more transpired, e.• result of an iavesti gation made by the officers al the brigade, it appears evident that the fire commenced in toe ai huller; horn. It was from that quarter the throes were firs: eau. The official report made by Mr. the superin tendent of the brigade, r the iniaenee of the in-ursr.c.. offices, confirms the damage deierthcii in the foregoing details. It states that the property is insured in the Sun, Penni:, Loudon, and Union Odia a. The total lose la reported to exceed 30,00u1.

I said, " I will not look if you leave inl." They then left me, and although I could nut see them, I heard them go towards Leaden. I lay still a little while, tearing they would return; but they not doing so, I got hold of some bramble, and gram and drew myselt out of the ditch as well as I could, and went home; I cannot pesitively swear, but I think the other man was George Balms, with • whom I have been well acquainted, as I heard his voice. I met two fishermen going home, and another man named halls and IVidiam bunting, woo went part of the way home with me ; on remelting home I was quite sensible, and told my housekeeper the whole circumstance excepting the par ties' name..

Letters of spA.cry were reed troll Lard Dudley Stuart, M.P., Mr. Wild, M.P., Mr. Wm. Williams, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. T. Dose:cobs, M P. The CHAIRMAN said that the present meeting was salted in the legitimate manner, according to their lonl act, to consider the propriety of a total, immediate, and uniondi tioual repeal of the window tax. (Hear, hear.) They were aware that the tax was imposed for the purpose of enabling the country to carry on a long and very sanguinary wet. (Hear, hear.) When the war was over it was naturally expected that the tax would have beet remitted. Th minister of that day, however, felt that this could not be done, and every succeeding minister took the same view. (Hear, herr.) Oue of the members of the lorou,o hof Fie.- tory (Mr. Wskles) told them that it was not the fault of the repreeentativte, bat et the occupiers and house holders et London, that this tax had been continued. He entirely disagreed from the hon. member a. to the rem/racy of that statement. (Hear.) lie was himself a living witness that for '2O cr 24 years at least the pe.mle of London petitioned every year against this iniquitous tax. He said emphatically that it was the fault of the members of pules emit that this tax rtntinued to hang round their necks. On the 9tn of April, IMO, Lord Duncan moved the repeal of the tax. 77 member, voted for the repeal, 80 voted for its contiuueoce —so that there was but a majority of throe against its repeal. Mr. Wak:eyand Mr.T. Duneombe gagged and disfranchised Finsbury on that eccasion. (Hear, hear.) Had but two other so called liberal members been prevent on that occasion, he would not have the Queen'. collector eeLirg ou him within the last few days for a moiety of 111. window lax. The chairman went on to speak at great length on the subject of the reform bill and the emirs of members of parliament, and was frequently intaggerpted , with Mite of 'question," during which is. resumed Me seat. Mr. ROGERS, in m Arias the first resolution, said they mast put their shoulders to the wheel, and send petitions from every pariah in London if they wished to ensure: the repeal of this obnoxious sax. (Hear, bear.) He eoucluded by moving the resolution to the following effect— that the window tax had been long been telt by the public, and .particularly by the inhabitants of this metropolis, as burden•ome add oppressive, cot merely from Ps am tent, but from its injurious effects on the iutlit,triJue classes, and the gins inequality of its operation. Mr. G. TAYLOR seconded the resolution, which he did with great pleasure, because he believed the repeal of the window tax would prove a great boon to that large class of persons who in this m tropulis supported themselves by letting lodgings. (Herr, hear ) Toe tax was so Rojas& and tamped, that ho believed no one would dere to say a word in its favour. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUMPHtthYS,toaupportir.g the resolution, sea that he had been heretofore a supporter of Mr. Wekley, should wish to continue one it he could tio so consistently. Bt . . it members w. re unable from arty Anse to attend to their perhamentary duties, the social they resigned their trust the better. (Hear, hen.) He should like to know if the hon. gentleman was not present in the Home of Comatose on the evenieg of the night when the divtaion was taken on the window duties. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. J. COOKE EVANS proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the window tax einerved the utmost reproba tion, es it tended to prevent the proper ventilation of dwellings by excluding toe light of heaven, thereby doing serious injury to tee health and morale of the people. Mr. Siesta seconded the resolution, whica passed unanimouly. Mr. PtiliDAY moved the next resolution to the effect that this tax, having been impend for a temporary purpose, it ought to have breen repealed when the access:my which gave tt birth ceased to exist, the more especially all the tenancya of the country wore in ouch a state as to allows( its total, immediate, and unconditional repeal. When they formerly naked for the teeniest= of this tax they were taunted with en "ignorant impatience of taxation." lie believed they had new wiped away that stigma, and thet they would no longer suffer the imposition of any tax lot which tl.. re was not an obvious necessity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HALL seconded the menet', which passed unaei [neatly. Mr. WHITE, surgeon, in moving the next resolution for a petition to parliament to be presented by one of the mem bers for the borough, designated the tax as an accursed one, tied as being indirectly the cause of the death of thousands. (Hear, hear.) he left utterly astonished that any gcverc ment could be tutted to unction the continuance of so in famous a tax. Mr. DIXON seconded the resolution, snit was about to melee some ol'servatinne upon it, but the impatience of the meeting to hear Mr. Wekley prevented him from obtaining a besting. Mr. CEA B rose to propose the insertion of Mr. Wakley's name as the member to present the petition, but wee unable to make hie intention underetreed by the great body of the meeting, owing to the coise and confusion which prevailed. The CHALEM AN then pat the resolution and dictated it to be carried unanimously. He then said that, it Mr. Wekley wished to eddrese the meeting, that was his time to do to. Mr. WAHLEY then rose. He said that the chairman bad jest informed them that this was the proper time to =Deem them, and yet, he said, that there wee nothing before the messing. To whet, thee ' was he to address himself ? Cer tain secueatiens had be en made ageinec him, and thi se aecusatiode had been made by the enrie. lie was too wca acquainted with the mode of condo, ties public business to allow this meeting to be dinette: or betrayed from the real business for which it had met into a personal squabble. Let the gentleman who bed made the attack upon him appoint soy tab, r time and place, and he would then, it he was 'bee, rise from eves his bed, and tell them why it had been made. (Hear.) They (the meeting), had deafen him as their chess men, and he w,:uld so tar resin= their selection that he would not return that attack on the present occasion. He knew well why it hail been made : be would not then antici pate his answer, but whenever he chose to call a public mewing, if he (Mr. Waklee ), was well and out 31 his grave he would be present. (Chesty.) And he would now. held. tarn, give his muter warning to be prepared to meet the seen. action he (Mr. SVskley) would nuke serainst him. (Hear.) He would now leave that subject; and, in reference to the question before them, he pledged his word end honour that when the motion for the abolition of the window duties cetee before the house, he was threatened every hour with paralysis, so that it was utterly icepurible for him to be pre sent in his place on that occasion to vote for the total end immediate retied of this infernal and diabolical tax. Toe gentleman spoke of reluctant and dishonest members. He particularly marked the words, having a special reason for doing so. (Rear.) Now, how did they diseherge their duty in reference to the repast of the window Us ? There was but one way of repealing the tax, and that they had neglected to follow. What was that way ? Why by telling their members strongly and earnestly to etop the supplies till their grievances had been redressed. (Cheere.) In that lay the pith and marrow of the whole queetien. (Hear, hear) He believed there had been but one meeting against the tax in Lambeth. Was that right? He implered them to form a committee to communicate witto the other portions of the metropolis. Let them have a meeting of the metropolitan members at the London Tavern, or some other locality, end let them there ascertain the opinions of their representative' (Hear, hear, anu " That's it.") Now, one word with regard to his hon. col teepee. He did net believe that there was any man in the kingdom who knowing the sufferings and the services of his lon. colleague would raise his voice against him. (Heir, hear) A mere sealoue, a 111.11 . 11feithful, or a mere honour able representative no constitueecy ever possessed. (Heir, hear, and " We know it.") If, atter years of long and faith ful the services of such a man were to be forgotten he an hour, at the voice of ill nature or of celumny, then farewell to that course which se many good men were anxious to advozate, for the dread of such an ordeal would prevent them from undertaking its advocacy. (Hear, hear.) He b. gged of the meeting not to come to en impression unfavourable to his hon. collea toe. Ii any attack was made on hie hon. colleague at any period, and that be had notice of such attack, he would engage, and be begged the peel making it to bear it in mind that his hon. colleague, if et all able to stir out, would be present to defend his past conduct. (Cheers.) He had stated that If his health was not restored this session he would resign his seat; ant. even now, if a fairly chosen meeting of his con. stituents called on him to resign , his seat was at their services tomorrow. (Cheers.) But till that hour arrived. he would shape his future course by his put conduct. (Hear, hear.) He bad people, or for any private or personal Object, and he would hereafter, as he had heretofore, endeavour at all has arils and risks to discharge his duty fearlessly and faithfully. (Cheers ) Mr. CRASH moved that the name of Mr. Wekley be inverted i.e the resolution, as the member to element the pe'i lion, and that Mr. T. Buncombe be requested to support the same. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WYNCH seconded the motion, which was carried unanimous'y. was perfect!! ratiefactory. (Hear, bear.) Mr. TAYLOR though that the explanation of Mr. Wekley Mr. EVANS moved that a committee be formed to eo. operate with other parishes, with a view of carrying cut the object for which they bad met. Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded the motion. Mr. BELL, the meeting, be felt great pleasure in co-operating by his H.P., said that hating . been invited to attend prennet there for the repeal of this most obnoxieas tax. (Hear, hear.) He had already attended that evening an on. r meeting at St. Pancras for a similar purpose. (Hear, hear.) It wee by thus mettle= in their several parishes and preuesties numerous petkiees to parlament that they could alone hope to effect en immediate and total repeal of this obnoxious tax. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was thus put and carried, and, at er a rota of thanks to the chairman, the meeting stimulus!. ST. PANCRAS. The inhabitants of this populous pariah assembled in public meeting last evening, at the Vestry Hall, King's. foul, to give expression to their opinions on the subject of the window duties. Countering that this palish comprises in population about one twelfth of the whole metropolis the importacca of its determination is at once evident. There was a crowded attendance. The chair was taken shortly after Nun o'clock by Mr. Churchwarden FRASER trusted that the imposi tion of any tax in lieu of the window tax woulld be strenuously resisted. A house tax would be worse than the window tax, by poising one still lower clam (Boat.) The Vestry. Clerk read the following letter from Sir Hall : "Lissome, Abergaventy, Jan. 24, 1861.—Eir,—I have the honour to receive your leiter iolorming me that a public meeting wet be held on Monday evening next hr the purpose of petitioning parliament in favour of the repeal of the window tax. I regret extr.mely that it is utterly im possible for me to be present. A very few days will intervene between this and the meeting of parliament, when I must leave my home for several months, and you may naturally suppose that during Vie very short interval every moment of time is oocepled. I hope, therefore, that, as my constitu ents must know how very sincere and zealous • supporter I have been of the object they have now in view, I may be excused at this time attendance at the meeting; hut they may rest assured I stall vote, as I always have voted, not merely for the enure repeal of the window ditties, but for the unconditional repeal of that tax ; and it it is intended to ea. tone a tax upon houses, I shall be ready to give ray vote testiest any such proptsithe. The intern:it, and hijasties of that tee remains fresh In oar recolieetion.-1 have toe honour to be, &c., B. Mr. lIRETTINGHAM raid this tax had bees iteronecusly ettributed to Mr. Pitt; it was the creation of the whip, and ,hey must be competled to abolish it. They had apparently ' mace up their minds to abandon it, but they waati.d a substitute. If so, let them pat the pr Aide and legacy duty on rich people. (Hear, hear.) He moved • resolution , !relazing the wiedow tax to be opposed to every principle of morality, and calling for its abolition without sny tubs. ituta ; .1-n the adoption of a petition founded OR the pollution. Mr. HEALEY seconded the resolution. Houses, he observed, were :already taxed in a satiety of forms; for poor rates, county rates, and sewer rates were all Louse tuxes. (Hear, heir.) Lord DUDLEY S UART, M P., was loudly cheered en rising. lie said thin teas a subject oa which then Gould not be two opinions; the window tax must be done away with, and unounditioually. (Checn ) It warred against the comforts, health, and morality of the pleple ; it was a reproach to the country, and • disgrace to those who governed it. (Cheers) Ito inequality was monstrous, a poor man paying 26 per cent., and • nobleman only two. (Hem, hear.) West had the people been about to submit so loug to such an injustice I Mr. Pitt had not reduces, but had augmented, the window duties, as he did mauy other texts ; and such was the excitement created at that time that there was written on the well. all over the town " Liehten our darkness, we beseech thee, 0 Pitt! " (Laughter.) This was essentielly • war tax; and had not parliament been so easy and complying it would have been repealed long age. Five or ex years ago the Chancellor of the Exchequer had denied tree edict of this tax on the health of the people; now the matter was esta blished beyond all iloub.: so that ground was eat away from under him.

Weston, Esq , and the Cbsneery Bekaa Association, for the gilt of the puolicatior• of such sesociation to the library of tl. is society, the scandalous state el the abovenaeced footway was again brought forward, especially certain port ions near the Primrose Tavern, which is the lead excusable, the ground landlord of the tavern being one of the very " Paving Com missioners," who era ballad by act of Parliament to compel eh ground landlords to pave each bad wave. SINGULAR CAUSE OP DEATH AT WEAPON-SUPER- Mean.—Mr. 11.4bert fill, chief police ofli.er of the little town of Weston-super-Man, Somereetsbire, has just met his death under circumstances of a very peculiar cbarecter. Some two or three years age the town wee frequently dis turbed by a numbsr of night brawlers, en t Hill, under the direction of the commissiontre, exerted himself to put en end to the disturbances On one occasion he was endeavour ing to prevent • breach of the peace, when a man named Cann made a very ter .cious attack upon him with a knife, inflicting • deep wound in the ofther's left side. At first it was apprehended that the wound would prove mortel, bat it at length yielded to medical treatment, and as tar as ex ternal memoriam could show was healed. Cann wee ep pt exausintd before the magistrates, and by theta committed fur trial upon the charge of cutting and maim ing with intent to kill and n.urder. Fur this felony he was tried at the ensuing county assism, found guilty, and sen tene.cl to seven years' transportation. Hill eentinued to fulfil his police duties, end clthounh he fr. fluently com plained of weakness and pain en his side, he did not ley up until seven or eight dale Waft, wh,,u be was .sited wit h constipation of the bowels. Medical aid was called in, but the disorder did nut yirid on this ooeseion to the treatment employed; awl, Aft! , live or WI days acute f i t at t r;ge, t h e unfortunate into expired. Mr. Mewling, the surgeon who aiteoded him in his Wisest, made a post mottles examination of the bony, when it was found that the wound iLeiCtell by Cann bed penetrated completely through the diaphragm, and the larger portion of the gnat onenium had passed through it, and adhered to the costal pleura. Al much ea eight !set of the smaller intratines had Tamed into the kit cavity of the chest, as wed as the arch of the colon and the omeatum, and then preuing anon the heart, had prevented the action of that organ. An inquest will doubtless be held on the body, sod it is thought that • carious legal gat/eh:ft may arise u to whether Cons, he having been already convicted of the minor offence, and punished fur IS, CAM now be charged mina nallEwith the greater crime. WILTS, SOMERSET. AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY. Yesterday, the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company wee held at Bath, Sir John Awdry, chair- man of the company, presiding.
