Immo diately close to where the fire secured are several stacks of planks, and if the tire had bra of the formidable character reported in some newspapers they must have been consumed, and the fire perhaps tommanicated to several wooden sheds adjoining. PARLLUIINTAIF CIIANGEO. The representative branch of toe legislature ha. undergone considerable altera tions within the lest 12 montlui. From the new edition of Kr. Dod's " Parliamentary Companion for 1851," it appears that knee the commencement of beat session 17 places have elected now representatives, while there are five others in which vacancies have occurred, though the elections have not yet taken place. From the same accurate little volume --In which there is no abatement of the good qualities that lave distinguished it for the last 19 years—we learn, that of the 17 members recently returned 14 ere wholly new to the Hesse of Commons, and that three are persons whir formerly hod seats in that assembly.

Pnrattait to a ieqnisTicTs;to the high ahenl of this county, a meeting was held yesterday at the Shire ball, Stafford, for tha purpose of adopting as Warm to the Queen on tea recent aggressive agelefee of the Popo of Rome. The followiag, among other nobleman and gentlemen, Were peossati—Earl Talbot, Lord Asses Lord Vincent, Smith Child, Req., John Williams, Esq., P. Williams. Elq, J. B. Pitney, Eq., Watley-WI; John Fester, Beq.,Bsak, Baum; John Tartatt, I.P . H. Bill, Rm., J.P., Alimsader Holders, Esq., Richard Dyott, Esq , too Hon. Frederick Gough, John S. /leaky, Eq., T. Martshorns, Es its. q., J. 81'0011, Esq.. high sheriff of the manly, having taken the chair, and stated tut °Neat of the mewing, reed two lulus, one from the Marquis of haglossa, saying—" I ow , Melly concur in the resolutions which are prepared to be sahmitted to the mettles, and, if adopted, I shall hays great p 1 in presenting thus to her Majesty the Queen;' and the other from the Earl of Brad'ord to Lord Talbot, saying—. No one can more heartily desire thee I do Wank the insolent inroads on our protestant constitution of that analmtk,sre foreign ecclesiastieal potentate." The Earl of HAILROWFIT, in a long speech, which wu Mustily sheered throughout, and in which be denounced the conduct of the Pope and the tree:corium, and urged the go vernment to look boldly in the face, and apply a strong remedy for the evils complained of, moved—" In the opinion of this meeting, the recent eggreesire measures of the Popo of Ruse is an invasion of her Majesty's royal prerogative, dangeroue to the constitution of this realm, and wholly inuashtent with the liberties and social happiness of the people." The lion. end Rev. Mr. BOWMAN seconded the reale tioo, °burring that he ci.ncurred most cordially in the auto meat and arguments advanced by L'rd Ilarrstaby. Viscount St. Vlscamt then moved the following rider to the resolution: "That this meeting is of opinion that too mush occasion has been given to the Bishop of Rome to entertain confident espectstiose with regard to this country, partly by the concertos' already made to Romanism by her Majesty's uvernment, especially in Ireland, and partly by the Romig% doctrines and prudes"' which have unhappily appeared in the ministratioes el some churches in England, and which have already predated the mceasions of no inconsiderable somber to the church of Rows ; and therefore earnestly hopes that anal" measures may be taken by those in authority as will serve effectually to assert and defend those sound protestant principles, both in church and is state, which form the basis of our own incomparable constitution, and which resulted from the ` lo: boas Reformation." JOHN B , Esq., mended the addition proposed by VolAint St. Vincent, and expressed his that the county of Stafford had been tardy in corning forward to denounce a immure which he knew has so universally been i condemned amongst them. If he had had the drawing up of the resolution, he would have gone for the expulsion stall religious orders. Mr. ANDAZWe supported the addition, and Is a speech of greet length, denounced most energetically the tree tartan movement in the church, which he considered the cause of all the mischief they were that day called upon Or : deprecate. The resolution, with the addition, was tarried with greet cheering E.rl TALBOT moved :—"Tnat this misting disavows say idea of interfering with the religteas privileges of oar Roman Catholic fellow countrymen, and daises to recognise these principles of civil and religious liberty which are embo died in the constitution, and which they believe have been mainly instrumental in producing the intellecual, religious, and political elevation of their beloved country." The noble soil took a view of the question in its bearitg upon the civil libertine( the country, and &hot exproming his nawilliognees to infringe upon the rights and liberties of others, also ex pressed his determinatiea not to allow his own rights to be violated. The neolufion having been tarried, SMITH CHILD, Esq., moved " That this meeting acknow ledges with satisfaction the public &elevation which her Majesty ties been graciously pleased to make of her firm determination, with Goo's blessing, to maintain ur impaired the religious !thirty which is so justly prised by Englishmen, and to uphold as its Purest safeguard the puts and scrip tural worship of the Protestant faith." C3lonel ANSON, M.P., seconded the resolution, which web put sad carried ; after which, The following fesOimtiull IMO moved by C. B. ADDIRLIT, Ssq :—" That the prec ding resolutions be embodied in an address to the Queen, and signed by the high sheriff on behalf of this meeting, and that the meet noble the lord littnionsat of chic county be rquested to present the same to her Majesty." Alderman STDNIT then addressed the meeting at length ; and, thanks having bons gives to the high aheriff, the meeting separated. THE SAILORS' STRIKE IN THE NORTH. There seems no likelihood of any immediate termi ' nation to this affair. Great excitement was cowed in the borough of Tynemonth on Monday by the appearance of 20 armed Policemen from Newcastle. It seems that on Saturday night about 20 seamen went on board the Com merce, a laden collier, lying reedy for sea, and, hien g ascertained that the crew bad signed for under-wig'', ordered them ashore. They ill complied, with the exception of the carpenter, who refused to obey their summons. They then hauled him from below, and, muter teatirg his clothes, took him ashore with them. This, with the attack on the Shipping-office on Friday, de termiaed the mayor end inagiatratis to take steps to prohibit a meeting of seamen from both sides of the Tyne, to be held oa Monday evening. The polio. took poelession of the quay with drawn cutlasses', about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but the sedan having marched oat of the town with the Erb men, who bad come across to freterolse with them, there was no disturbance, the policemen cnly capturing the table, with the sheets for the memorial to the Bunt of Trade, and capsizing some apple stalls. The raiviog, instead of being held en the quay, was held in the Asembly-rooms, there being a great ma ,s of seamen present. The policemen were withdrawo, and order was restored to the town again. The military were under arms at Tynemouth Castle, ready at a moment's notice. The mayor hes written to the Admiralty, requestiag them to send a war-steamer down to protect the vessels in the harbour. After the police took possession of the quay the following notice was honed: BOROVOIL 01 TTNMIOUTIL "All masters, mates, seamen, and other persons desirous of transacting business at the Shipping-master's office, on the New Quay, will be protected by the magistrates of the boroagh from violence and interruption in so doing. And all persons assembling for the purpose, or ostensible purpose, of interrupting the lawful banners of the Shipping-office are hereby ordered forthwith to disperse, and in default of com pliance with this notice will be dealt with 'acceding to law. '• Br order, " WILLIAM LINIMILL, Mayor." The clerks from the shipping odious were obliged to go on board the vessels ready for sea on Monday, and get the men to sign articles then, as they refused to enter the odlces for the purpose. Freights were up le. 61. a tan yesterday, and a number of owners fizedtheir vessels for the London market, The memorial to the Board of Trade received the signa tures of 2,000 seamen and 'hip carpenters on Monday and Saturday, reside' above 6,000 seafaring people belonging to the Tyne and Wear alone who have polled maim the shipping-ogles' and regulations of t►e Board of Trade in their present foam. A deputstion from the united body of North and South /Wields seamen have waited upon the Mayor of Tynemouth, and explained their grieved:seta ►im.

FINSBURY FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evesiog a public meeting wu held in the theme of the London Mechanics' Institution, Southampton buildings, for the purpose of explaining the principles and objects of the Finsbury Freehold Lend Society. On the notion of Mr. Buie, Mr. WakJey, M.P., wee called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said they were assembled that night for the purpose of carrying out a twofold object—the im provement of the *oval condition of the rot's and the increase of their political power. This society, he cowl doted, was calculated to impulse the physical condition of the people, and, if that were improved, an improvement in their moral condition would follow. Their object was to enable men to take a step up in life ; and though he was one of those who thought that every man was entitled to the suf• frage without property, yet, aa property of itself was no bed thing, and as with the property they got votes also, he thought freehold land societies of •dvan:age, also, in a pelt. deal point of view. Mr. dAhIRS TAYLOR, of Birmingham, the founder of freehold lend societies, then addressed the meeting, and at some length detailed the history of the movement they were met to further. T►e Westminster and the Bt. Pancras societies, he said, had accomplished results equally satiafactory to the vaults of the one at Birmingham, sad surely t►e men :of Finsbury could do whet the men of St. Pumas and of Westminster had done. Mr. Taylor con elided his speech amidst the hearty and ent►usiastic plaudits of the meeting. Mr. BEALE moved a resolution soprani's of confidence in the principles on which the society was founded, and pledging the meeting to support it. He contended that these societies offered not only a much more prasable but • much safer investment than either benefit emisties or savings banks. A number of questions were then put by several persons in the riven, es to the details of the workieg of the society, which were answered by the chairman, Mr. Beale, Mr. Deasy, and a member of the committee of the St. Pancras Society, apparently so the satisfaction of the meeting. After which a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Taylor and another to the chairman, whirlx wound up the proosediegs. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The official report says :—A decrease has occurred in the mortality of the metropolitan districts during toe week that ended last Saturday ; the death., which in the two preceding weeks were 1023 and 1037, having now fallen to 950. Taking correrpondiag weeks of the ten years (184140), the lowest return was made in 1846, when the deaths registered were only 908, in a week of unusually high temperature, the mean of which rose about ten degrees above tha ge ; and the highest occurred in Ib4B, namely 1437 deaths, when inanimate bad not diesppeered,l when other epidemics abouuded, and the mean temperature I was singularly low, haviug fallen nearly as much below the leverage as in 1846 it had been above it. The seems aura her of deaths is the ten corresportaing weeks was 1104, com ! pared with which (without any correction for sup ' posed increase of population) the account for last week presents a favourable result. But as jape tion of the tables of ages and fatal diseases snow that though there is a marked diminution of mortality from bronchitis, which had previously thinned the ranks of the aged, who are thy greatest cuff by it; and though the number who die from what is rather vaguely described "old age," has declined from 46 en the preceding week to 35 in the last, arid in some complain:a common to the young there is also a decrease; yet pteumonia, which is principally fatal to children, has actually increased, and in the epidemic clue small pox and fever exhibit a considerable advance. Zymotic or epidemic diiames in the aggregate have risen from 196 in the previous week to 211 is the lad; small-pox from 21 to 32. Of these 32 deaths, 9 occurred above 15 years of age ; 2114 in only two cases, out of the whole number from small pox, does it appear probable that vaccination had been properly performed. Eight of the deaths from small pox occurred between the 18th and 25th January in the hospital for this disease, which was recently removed to Holloway; and with the exception of a child aged 16 months, which hen been brought from Rowtraary•laat, the ages of the patients ranged from 16 to 23 yours. Two were seamen brought from the Dreadnought Hospital ship; three female servants from Moitlake and Marylebone; a married woman from Clerkenwell; and a porter from St. Odes. All the cams are described as "con fluent, unprotected," except that of a sailor, who is stated to have died from "small-pox , confluent unm odified (9 days), dysentery (several months), vaccinated when young—no cicatrix." The registrar again report various familie►, which have been fatally visited by this diseue, and where vacci nation is neglected from " prejudice entertained against it." A house in St. Giles is mentioned, in which a cbild his died, end six pineal are now suffering from the same complaint; and the medical attendant adds, that the only child that has escaped is one of two month., which bad been vaccinated in the workhouse. la Boswell court (St. George the Martyr), where a child had died without vaccination, the mother and four children are now labouring under small pox. In the returns of the week, a child of two years is stated in the medical certificate to have died of "exhaustion from ptyalisen." Two men died from intemperance. The births of 764 boys and 759 girls, in all 1,523 children, were registered in the week. The gs of six correspond. fog weeks in 1845-50, is 1,381. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean daily reeding of the barometer wu above 30 in. on Thursday and Friday ; the mean of the week wu 29.&50 in. The mean daily temperature was 45.8 degrees on Tuesday, when it was highest; and 31.7 degrees on Friday, when it wu lowest. The mean of the week wu 40.1 degrees, which is 2.3 degrees above the average of the same week in 10 yttan. The daily mean was from 4to 8 degrees above the averages of the several days, on Sunday, Monday, and Tie.. day; it then declined tall it fell considerably below the average on Friday, when fog prevailed, and continued below it on Saturday. Tits wind was, for the mat part, in the south-west. DIA= OP MAJOR. WILKINSON, 11.

CLITER TRICK.—Oa Friday evening a young woman attired in the dress and having the appearance or a domestic servant, entered the shop of a respectable jeweller ia town, in a very beading and excited manner, and tendered a demand for a gold watch belooging to a lady whew the mused, which had, she said, been given in to have a slight repair performed on the promise that it would be executed ere that time.

THIS DAY. Two O . CLOIK. The share market is very good to-day, with rather more movement than was to be observed yesterday. Prices opened good, at a slight rise for most of the leading stocks, and the improvement has since been maintained, the present feeling of the market being very firm. A good portion of the day's business is doubtless in connexion with the settlement of the account, which falls due on Friday. London and South Westerns have experienced a further consider able tie% and Midlands, Great Westerns, and North Staffords are also buoyant. loos to-day up to I o'doelt. i dis n Bunn ikILWATs. Do.

Purchases on public account by the government broker have been continued to-day, and maintained the Consol market at yesterday's range during the morning, but with the cessation of these operations some money sellers came forward, and prices have receded 4. The general feeling of the market remains quiet, and there appears to be no speculative movement worthy of notice. Consols opened at yesterday's rates, 961 to 1, but have since declined to their present quotation, which is 961 toy both for money and the account of the 12th Feb. Business is officially reported as follows : Three per Cent. Consols. 96; 4; do. for account, 964, ; Three per Cents. Redu ced, 971, 1. New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 99, 981.

The near approach of the settling day in the foreign stock market (which is fixed for Friday next) has occasioned an increase of movement in this depart ment. The transactions to-day are of a rather varied character, most descriptions having met with ; business. Prices, however, have not experienced any material change, but the general feeling shows rows firmness than has been observable for some time paot, and the tendency may be pronounced decidedly favourable. Spaniels Actives have obtained better rates, bargains having been ooncluded at 181. The , list of this morning's sales is as follows, viz.: Brazi lian Old Five per Cents., 901.

J astuay 7 30F,748 9 10 April 4 July 7 633,412 13 2 Ombra 11 861,628 8 6 Total For the present quarter the amount so appropriated is 863,7881. It seems very questionable whether these purchases cannot be made more advantageously towards the end of the quarter, instead of being made at the time of the payment of the dividends, simul taneously with the:purchases of those who wish to increase their investments. The dividend warrants on the Canada debentures, negotiated through Baring Brothers and Co., are advertised for payment ; as are al.o the dividend warrants on the Louisiana state bonds. Both these dividends fall due on the let of February next. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the London and Greenwich Railway held to-day, the usual dividend on the new shares was declared, and a dividend of 45. on the old shares, which is a alight increase. The directors expect to renew some of the debentures at a lower rate. We have received the following letter on the emergency, now requiring the attention of the Spanish bondholders. In the Paris Petrie it is stated that Count Van itaszow, delegate of the Amsterdam bondholders, has had such a satisfactory interview with Queen Christina that he does not think it neces sary to stay at Madrid, and has set off for Paris. There is, no doubt, some plan for the arrangement of the debt will be brought forward by the ministry, and it is therefore any aiaito sooctlaies olsould b. Ann* by the bondholders. Stx„—The extraordinary apathy of the committee and holders of Spanish Sonde, at the time when the utmost co operation and vigour is required to advance their claims at Madrid, is most detrimental to their interests ; for how can it be expected that either the Snafu Ambassador or Mr. Weiswell•r will continue I. advocate claims concerning which the claimeate themselves evince so little interest. Toe committee complain, and no doubt justly, that the bondholders leave them to pay the wholeexpense, but surely, with such financial heads at Baron Rothschild and Mr. Cartel some mean, can be devised by which ample funds could be raised to send a first.rste agent to Madrid to watch over interests which involve an amount of at least 60 millions sterling. The bondholders would willingly unction any expense payable out of the first dividends they receive ; therefore it appears to me that this security might he made available in tome shape or other, if the grossest indifference did not exist on the part o. those to whom the intereste of the bondholders are coolided. Is not the apathy of the bondholders a positive encourage ment to the Spanish government to offer the lowest possible terms ? Let me entreat you, therefore, on behalf of a numerous body whose purses are not quite so long as Baron Rothschild's, to advocate more energetic measures, the more particularly as M. Ber.rand de Lye, the present minister of foreign affairs, is disposed to grant terms to the bondholders which, even if his own plan were adopted, would nearly double the present value of the bonds. I am satisfied that if a man of high standing were to be sent out to Madrid as the representative of the British bondholders, he would obtain the very moderate terms they have offered to take in satisfaction of their long neglected MESCATOI. At the last dates from Graham's Town a manufac tory for heavy woollens was in progress of establishment. Thus in our African as well as in our Australian colonies the woollen manufacture seems destined to spread. The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the prices which ruled this day. Where the asterisk(•) is prefixed it is to be under- stood that the share rate of interest is lees the in come tax. It will be seen that in every ease we take the rate of dividend last declared as the bails of our calculation : Three Three y perC Badased 97 et Ont.

The report of the directors of this company, to be laid before the half-yearly general meeting of the share holders on Friday next, with the usual statement of accouuts, affords the following particulars; It appease that the total disbursements on capital account during the half year ending 1860 amount to 129,322:. This had been paid undor the heads ahown in the estimate for completing the railway, and all expenditure on capital ac count had been confined substantially to the matters embraced by that estimate. It is announced that several important claims affecting the capital account have been closed since the lest oruinary meeting ; whilst the Lancaster and Preston shore account his been closed, and the anticipated roes of 8,271/ reduced to 3031. The principal matter. affecting the capitol account still open are the claims of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, in respect of the joint stations at Manchester and Liverpool; of the North Union proprietors on the Preston station ace iunt ; and the demands of the contractors (now under arbitration) on the Barnleyeon tract, nine miles; the Preston extensiou contract, 3J miles, and for the erection of tie P res t on station. This fail &d -lament of the station accounts had been impeded by the .e , siteultv which the directors had experienced in getting the joint stations divided; but tne mummy whs in amuse, or removal, and the railway commissioners had, within the present month, finally settled the appropriation of the Liver pool stations. The general ue account shows a nett profit of 26,1451., after payment of all fixed charges for the past Leff year and the directors propose that a dividend after the rate of 21 per cent, per annum should be declared on the ordinary share capital of the company ; and the balance of 3,875/. carried to the reserved fund, in oreer to provide fur any future contingencies affecting traffic. The report further atates that the per centage of ordinary working expenses had been diminished ; and the general traffic of the railway had upoa the whole met the expectations of the board. The directors are of opinion that the resourois el the line were gradually unfolding themselves, and that the main difficulties in the way of is future improvement are in the counts of removal. The gross receipts per mile per week during the half year ending 1850 had been 481. 10s., against 421 lls in the corresponding half-year of 1849, and of 391 in half.year ending June last. The negotiations opened with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company by the directors, in connexion with the London and North Western, the Mid land, and Lancashire and York,bire boards, has resulted in an arrangement by which, if sanctioned by the proprietors, the merchandise traffic of the canal will belong to' the railway companies, on terms which will be explained at the special meeting to be held on the 31st instant for taking this subject into consideration. The existing works were in a satisfactory state of repair. The directors call special atten tion to the necessity of completing the extension of the branch from Newchurch to &amp. In order to avoid expen sive and fruitless litigation, the board has been from time to time compelled to purchase the land required for the line, until at length the whole of it is in the possession of the company, at a cost of 14,1551 ; _ the powers of the act for co ns t ruc ti ng this portion of the railway will expire in the month of July, 1853. The coat of completing this extension, exclusive of the land, is estimated at 52,7001. Th. board have prepared for introduction into parliament a bill to enable the company to increase its borrowing powers and re-inane its forfeited shares; and in which it is also proposed to take powers for the conso lidation of the shares into stock ; the better management of the joint line and stations at Liverpool, and to impose a toff on traffic using that line and stations; to increase the tolls chargeable on the railway generally, except as to coal, twenty per cent.; to raise the requisite capital for the redemption of the filth shares, in June, 1855, in case the proprietors shall then so determine; and for other minor matters. The report states, that the directors attach great importance to that part of the measure be which a toll is proposed to be charged for the benefit of the joint owners, on all traffic, using the joint line into Liverpool, whether that traffic belongs to the Laces/Mire and York shire, the Eut Lancashire, or any other company. " The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company are the owners of about 800 miles of railway as against your 79, and carry atlsast two thirds of the traffic over the joint line at Liverpool.
