A very calamitous fire occurred at Southampton, 7.-sterilay evening, in the extensive engine factories ; wee k:hop: of the West India Royal Mail Company, ate in the docks. The fire was first discovers-it in the s Tennis' workshop about 8 o'clock, and in a few ~.Lutes it spread with great rapidity, wrapping an ins .cicuse portion of the building in flames. Engines of all were speedily on the spot. auil assistance was udered from all quarters, but for a long time with very • , tle apparent effect. The Royal Engineer:, the Mosinee, Ltd crew of her Majest.'s ship Hector. and the Ist Hants Volunteer Engineers were soon on the ground, and iendered great service. For more than two hours the tire raged with fearful fury, lighting up the whole town in one vast illumination. The moo important pasts of the factory are totally destroyed, including the s aluable plant of machinery, the patterns and models, the engineers' library, workmen's tools. and other pro pel ty„ the value of which may be animated by thousands pounds. At one time the and of a large sugar factory, which adjoins the premises, caught fire and burnt o :th peat rapidity, and for an hour or more the destruction of the whole building was seriously 1.14, n,d. The cause of the calamity cannot at present 1, ascertained. As far as is known no personal injury occurred, although many men exposed themselves to i• at peril in their courageous endeavours to arrest the r :Ines. In two or three places the gas-pipes melted, and • :iv baruiug gas added to the flames, while several im • .11.4. coal heaps. containing hundreds of tons, were a -of li!e.

AMERICAN MINISTER AT SHEFFIELD. l'hc Mayor and Town Council of this borough determined to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by tie %Wit of Mr. Heverdy Johnson to present to hint an Widnes, and the ceremony took place in the Cutlers' 11311 yl at. nlay in the pretence of a distinguished company of the town and neighbourhood. The Mayor (Mr. Webster) presented the following *dike*: _ fo his k:xcellency the Hon. Revertly: John /ON Envoy listtatinittaty and Ilini,ter Plenipotentary from the United State« to the Court of Bt. James :--We, the mayor, n, and buret:bee...of the borough of Sheffield, desire to present to you our rongmtulatious on your appoint ment as envoy extraordinary, on your appointment as sueormor to Mr. Adams as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the United Suites to this calmly, and our (*Mull welcome on your present visit to this borough. We are proud to meet a gentleman of your attainments, and one who holds such a high character in his own country. The admirable manner in which your predecessor conducted the international affairs of the United States with England won tor has the esteem of .11. This was at a period during whioh grave troubles were pressing heavily upon the States, and required the utmost skill and delicacy on his part to avoid complica tions. Happily those troubles have coated, and the beet wishes we can offer to you are that peace and tranquillity may he over preserved between the United States and this empire.—llivon under the corporate seal, &c. Mr. Max Fur= (the Master Cutler) next addressed the boa. gentleman. Having thanked Mr. Johnson for the cordiality with which ho had responded to tho invita tion to attend the Cutlery' Feast, he spoke of the great honour which his excellency had conferred upon the borough by accepting it. Two such countries as Great Britain and America ought always to be united in the closest bonds of friendship, and ho hoped that the pre sence of Mr. Rovordy Johnson, as American minister, was an augury that the amicable relations which now existed between the two countries would long be continued. lie then read the following address: _ _ To his Excellency the Hun. Revertly Johnson.--Sir, We, the master, wantons, searchers, assistants, and oom ruunalty of the Company of Cutlers, in Hallamshire, in the county of York, desire to offer you our sincere and most Marty welcome to our town of Sheffield. Our commercial relations with the United States, extensive and important as these relations are, are daily increasing, and becoming more intimate. It is not, then, extraordinary that we should be anxious for the maintenance of peace and good feeling between our country and yours ; hut there are still higher grounds on which we rest our hopes and wishes for the continuance of bar meny and a good understanding between the two coun tries. We believe it to be the mission of the great race of which we are two kindred branches to spread civilisa tion. and with civilisation happiness, among the nations of the earth. To enablo us to do this peace and friendly co-operation are necessary; and they who conduct the negotiation which must arise between two us are the chief instruments by which this all im portant peace can be maintained and fostered. When, then, we see ono so distinguished as yourself charged by your countrymen to represent their interests in our inter national negotiations, we feel assured that truth and honour, kindness and gentle feeling, will preside over and guide the councils of two people who ought to entertain towards each other, not merely feelings of friendship, but the warmest emotions of brotherly love. Entertaining these opinions, we beg again to give you a hearty welcome to this hive of industry, and to o ff er you the right hand of fellowship. Mr. Minium JOHNSON. who was inost warmly received, said—•• Mr. Mayor, Mr. Master Cutler, and gentlemen, Laving received an intimition that I should be favoured with the two addresses which have just been presented to me in public, I took occasion to prepare iu writing an answer to each ; but as my vision is somewhat impaired, I am obliged to avail myself of the services of my friend Mr. Abbott. another servant of the United States, who will do me tho favour of reading the replies which I have prepared. - Mr. ABDOT7 (the American Consul at Sheffield) then read the following replies:—" Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and burgewes, accept my grateful acknowledgments fur the congratulatory address which you have done me the honour to present to me. It will be my wish, and my . government has made it my duty, during my mission to your country, to do what eyes may be necessary in all my negotiations with your government to preserve peace and tranquillity between the two countries, and in this I do not anticipate any difficulty. But I have a difficulty which will be with me during my mission in the eminent character of my immediate predecessor. The manner in which be dis charged, under very trying circumstances, his mission, won for him the esteem of his government ; and 1 am glad to be told, although not surprised to hear it, that it has also secured him the esteem of your people; and my utmost ambition will be gratified if I shall prove able to discharge all the duties entrusted to me w as to achieve the good name and reputation which he has ob tained with the governors and people of both countries," The reply to the address of the Cutlers' Company, which was also read by Mr. Abbott, was as follows :—" Gen tlemen, I have listened with much sensibility to the address with which you have honoured me. Your hopes and wishes that peace may be maintained between our respective countries are the hopes and 'ratios of my self and my government. lf, as you my, it he the • mis sion of our race to extend civilisation and happiness throughout the world," we should be false to it it we fail to preserve that peace. In the affairs of nations as of men differences of opinion , unavoidably arise; bat in the former as well as the latter, to solve them by the sword is as unreasonable as it is unchristian. Whenever, therefore. they occur. if they cannot be adjust el by . friendly negotiation—and I eau hardly imagine a case in which that may not be done—they can always be amicably settled by the judgment of some honourable and unpre judiced arbitrator; but between our countries, bound together as we are by cenunon principles and mutual interests, ail differences that may occur I have no doubt may be adjusted by ourselves. If either wrongs the other, or suffers the other to be wronged, when it could have prevented it, it should not hesitate, when convinced of the error, to redress the coneopieticee which may have resulted from it ; and I have so much costideece in the enlightened judement of your govern ment, and of its love of justice—ant I have the like con fidence in my own—that I may feel convinced, if either commit such a wrung, it will, when satisfied of it. confess it, and do whatever may be necessary to redress it. I entertain. therefore, no doubt that all the difficulties which now exist between the two nations will at the earliest period, upon terms alike honourable to each, be satisfactorily ad justed. I say upon terms "honourable to each," because it would be dishonourable in either to demand that which it would be dishonourable in the other to grant, and as there are no countries more alive to national honour than England and the United States, it is impossible to conceive that either would wish, or would be foolish enough to expect, that any difficulties that have occurred, or may herea fte r occur between them, can be decided except upon terms consistent with the good name aid reputation of bath. And at this time we have an additional security in the character of your (sued), which is as well known to us as to you. Her good sense, heraccompliohmente. and the Christian and blame less of Ler life cannot fail, I think, to exert es happy influence in keepitis her government and our own exempt from the horrors of war. I am fully aware, gentlemen, of the extent and importance of the business relations which have so long existed between your borough and the United States—the work of your artiness from the orgaMsatiun of our government is to be found in almost every one of our households. It Las also in various ways greatly assisted our industry in all its ',tenches. The beauty end excellence which dis tinguish that portion of it adapted to household p adorn almost every American household. S ' luTerct, therefore, is as well known in New York and Baltimore as in London or Liverpool. Your association, organised as I learn in 1624, had for its original object, us I understand, the use and preservation of our trade marks. That, however, is now comparatively unimpretant, for almost everything which you manufac ture has a trade mark easily distinguished in its intrinsic and peculiar velure It hat what is still more im portant, greatly . diminished, the hazarde to life more or less incident to railroad travel by the steel rails and tyres which you have sent use and which are now being used more or less upon all our moat importatit railroads and in the construction of our leccmotivea. My friend Mr. Roebuck, in his ad dress last evening in this ball, stated that one of the frailties under which the United States laboured in making an extended suffrage advantageous, was because of the character of a part of the population which we have received from the other nations which, to use his own words, consists of ",a feculent torrent of all the mis chief, turbulence, and vine of Europe," and he called me sea witness. As ray silence may be construed into admis sion of the correctness of his statement, neither he nor you gentlemen, will, I hope, think it outof,place if I now refer to it. It is no doubt true that bad men and bad women are to be found inthe United State., bothnative and foreign,but I euppese that the hon. gentleman would admit that such specimens of degraded humanity are to be found in London, and possibly in this borough; but these do not attest injuriously the gonna) character of the people of either !reality. Vice, generally the result of ignorance, is Lei er a match es virtue and intellitteneis Whew% er there may be of the former in the l'aited Slates, it has no influence upon the seneral character of nor people, or tie security nail just arid enlightened ailministr.ition of our government federal Sr rtate.

A largo amount of business was transacted to . - day, particularly on the St. Leger, for which Formosa was made first favourite, and after being backed at 4 to 1 to serve 3001., no more than 100 to 30 was obtainable. At icaq 2,0001. was invosted on King Alfred at prioes longing from 7 to 2 to 5 to I, but he be came a worse favourite the more he was backed, and 6 to 1 was still offered at the finish. See-Saw was in great demand, and supported for a good deal of money down to 10 to 1. Several outsiders were backed for considerable amounts—including Orion, Birdseeker, Paul J 011414 and Athena.

SPORTING NOTES. ANTICIPATIONS OF THE ST. LEGER. Had all gone well with The Earl (says Belle Life) we should not have hesitated to declare in his favour. As, however, the horse is :sully disposed of, and King Alfred, too, is under strong suspi cion, nothing is left for us but to pin our faith, not without hesitation, on FORMOSA ; and at the termina tion of the great struggle that will certainly be made for pbicee, it is quite on the cards that Mercury or Cap-i. Pie may obtain a coveted " situation." On the same theme the Sporting Gi=ette remarks : " King Alfred has fluctuated between 3 to 1 and 40 to 1, and is even now in anything but the proper position a second in the Derby, with the winner not engaged, should hold. Formosa is simply a nominal favourite ;—and yet there is nothing that looks like following in the path of Caller Ou, Oammter, Warlock, Saucebox, and the legion of outsider that have in days gone by proven victorious in the St. Lager. Where the winner is to come from, if the operations against Formosa and King Alfred have any bonkfide cause, is as great a pilule as it would be were the event a handicap just framed." The Are says :—All the likely competitors of Wednesday next (with thu exception of King Alfred and Formosa) an. pear to be about one form, and with the doubts that prevail with regard to the staying powers of the latter, the task of placing the first three is attended with more than ordi nary difficulties. The attempt must be made, however, the following being our anticipation of the verdict of Judge CIark:—FORMOSA, 1; KING ALFRED, 2; VlS couis"re 3. The held says:—" In the doubtful list there is nothing better than Orion, Blueekin, Restitution s and The Spy, and their chances are not worth considering. Measured by public form—the !turest of all teats in weight-for-age racee—the struggle for St. Leger honours should be con fined to KING ALFRED and FORMOSA, the better of whom will be heralded the winner." .•TheEarl," observes "Augur" Lathe Sport Lffa, "fit and well at the poet, would have wan the St. Leger, and with the splendid son of Young Melbourne out of the fray, there is nothing left but to look for the success of the next brat public performers of months back and recently, and the victory, under th i n y e i rational circumstances, of VISCOUNT or KING .` Vigilant, " in the Sportsman, thinks the moult of the St. Liger will be es follows: KIND ALFRED. 1; IYPIIOEUS, 2. &MATCHING OF THE EARL.—This horse (ob serves hell's Life), the doings in connexion with whom have this year been attended with such unenviable notoriety, was struck out of all his engagements for the preeent year yesterday (Friday.) For some time past The Earl, so long the first favourite for the St. Leger, tuts, not unnaturally after the Derby expe rieticers, been lookei upon with extreme suspicion, his bewildered backers, as they watched the up and down and down and up movements from day to day, being in a strait os to whether they ought to "stand him" or "get out." Now reported as having cracked heels and unable to raise a gallop, and then despite these remours coming this week from 3 to 1 to 6 to 4, and then going away again on Friday to 8 to 1, were suspicious signs enough; but the Gordian knot was effectually Fevered by the pen being put through his name at 3.5 p.m., Ids stable companion Lady Eluabeth being struck out of the St. Leger only at the same time. The Sporting Gamtli says :—" Ever since the Viscount dropped from the clouds upon the talent at York, the partisans of the old favourite,, have been in turn made to tremble in their rheas by the doings of the metallics. The Earl never fairly held his ground afterwards, all kinds of excuses being advanced for the onslaughts that have from time to time been made on him, but which are neither here nor there now that the pen has taken up the running from the pe ueil, and divomd of him altogether." "It is quite probable," adds this authority, " that the withdrawal of The Earl, and the uncertain position occupied by King Alfred, will cause one or two hitherto unheard of to turn up at the last moment, so that we claim the privilege of revieintr our list on the eve of the race." "As yet," the -had rays, "we have heard no reason given for the pro ceeding as regards The Earl, which, from the metallic operations recently performed, has been by no means un expected. We hope there will be at least as good a reason given for meretclhug The Emil from the 84 Leger as there was in the case of the Derby, bad as that was considered to be ; but as there is no Grand Prix now in prospeit,we are at a loss to surmise what the excuse will be." Tax Luanne:genie or THE MANES. —We are glad to be in a position to state (says Bell's Life) that negotia tions are all but concluded for the match, which ever since the advent of the north country *culler in London Las ken eagerly expected by all lovers of aquatics. Kelley, it will be remembered, challenged on the usual conditions, viz., that the championship should be rowed between Putney and Mortlake, adding that be could listen to no other proposal, and should con sider that be might retire with the title of champion cniess his terms were accepted in a fortnight. To this Randford rejoined that he would row him home and home or on neutral water, but Kelley maintaining the fiim front lie had assumed made no sign, beyond giving his would-be opponent another week to think over the matter. The calmness of the champion seems to have tautened mutters, for Randford wrote him on Monday cocepting in effect Kelley's original challenge, and yester day the articles were sent us for insertion, and simulta neously posted to Bandford. We think we may with safety say that we *hall be able to announce the match as wade in our next impression." The tenon: of the articles is, it appears, that the parties are to row on Nov. 17, for 2401. a side, from the Star and (hater, Putney, to the Ship, at Mortlake ; the editor of Bette Life to be stake holder. luE nu.

His ideal of government was an enlightens absolutism, that is to say, enlightened so far as he chose to allow it to be enlightened. He was a Voltairian in 'elision, yet a believer in and a praetiser of all the necro mantic and magical delusions of esgliostro. There was uo secret society of which he was not or did not want to be a member. Be was a freemason, an illuminist, and a Rorierncian. The Voltairian king had not an oratory in his palace, but a little closet fitted up with a crucifix, a chafing dish, and a pair of huge wax candles; and in this history pre ends him to us on oneoccarion in a perspiration and in his shirt performing a cabalistic incantation. He was an im mense lover of display, and patronised the arts and sciences ; be wished also to enjoy the familiarity of artists and men of letters and philosophers up to a certain point; be was flattered at a word of approval from Voltaire and sought for it, but he said when the Vie prir..e de Roi do l' sour came out, " Vest une bonne lecon pour nous: voili ce quo cent que de se familiariser trop avec lee gene qui, par lour nultier, no sont pas tads pour vivre avec nous. Avec lee gran& on n a rim I craindre ; on lee retient toujoure par les grime et par lee peinee ; . . . main avec lee homines qui ne sont que gene de lettres, ah ! non, non; " He had abilities, but of a mediocre sort ; his perceptions were quick, but they were shallow, vain, and frivolous; he was without sense of moral responsibility, yet capable of acts of unreason able temerity ; ho had too, enthusiasm, but it was mainly for shows, theatrical performances, for cabalistic delu sions, for Franee, and the cause of absolutism. Yet it must be added that on some occasions he showed un expected vigour and promptitude of spirit in the face of danger; that he MOMS to have been very generous, although it was with his subjects' money and the subsi dies of Franco ; and that he appears to have had lovable qualities, for persons of good taste and feeling speedily glow attached to him, and his relations with his noviciates and ministers were friendly and lasting. Perhaps the evil fortunes of his life'may be summed up thus he had an indolent, worthless father. a bad-tempered. mischief-mak ing.

At noon to-day it was aaoertainod by inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital that the two men who wore injured by falling from the top of a fire-escape while practising yesterday afternoon in Doctor's-commons were in a very dangeroua and almost hcpeleis state. They are under the care of Mr. Butlin, the house sur geon, and the following is the report of their injuries: " Robert Ream, Are-escape man, aged 20, broken arm, wounds on head, eyes damaged, severe internal in juries. John 'Tyler, aged 23, fractured skull and in jured spine. There is very little hope of being able to save the lives of either men. Both are insensible." They have been visited three times by Captain Shaw. It is supposed that both men, when they found them selves on the top ladder of the escape, became suddenly frightened, for they let go their hold, and fell backwarth on to the ground, a distance of about sixty feet. MB CAB 6TRIKB.-(THIS DAF.) The threatened strike of the unprivileged cab owners end drivers commenoed this morning. At the various yards in the metropolis the following placard WWI exhibited :—•• Free trade and no railway cab mono poly. All cabs at home." The streets, however, were not marked by that total absence of cabs which was antici pated. Where a non-privileged cab presented Heidi near a railway station, its identification was at once made known by groans . and other manifestations of disapproval from the men interested in the movement, who wore congre gated in large numbers. Although cabs were to be found plying in the various thoroughfares, every "stand" that came under the writer's observation this morning was en tirely deserted. By inquiries at the railway stations it was ascertained that the supply of cabs was more than equal to the demand of the " arrivals," and very little inconvenience was experienced by the " departures." It is pretty generally lm own that the London and South Western is the only railway where the privileged system is not carried out • and in order to ac commodate the tra ffi c each of the farge cab proprietors sent there a certain number of vehicles, which were dis tinguished by a bill on the outside, " South Western Railway only." The owners of privileged cabs also sent extra numbers, specially ticketed, to the London and North Western railway to meet the emergency • and as regards any difficulty at the Great Northern ternvinus the reporter was informed by the officer who has booked the fares for nearly thirteen years, that a greater number of cab' have entered, the station during the past few days (including to-day) than at any previous period. During the morning the members of the Amalgamated Association of Hackney Carriage Proprietors and their friends formed in proceeeion in various part, of the metropolis; all kinds of vehicles were employed, and the whole having united in one body, a circuit through the principal thoroughfare* was performed, the subjoined placard being exhibited :—" One and all ! This day, at 4 p.m., Primrose-hill. " The notice has reference to the proposed meeting to be held this afternoon, at which a monster gathering is anticipated. It was generally thought that a great portion of the privileged masters and men would join with those •• on strike ;" but the reverie has happened. That the vexed question will soon be settled one way or the other is the freely expressed opinion of those who have been deprived of the support of their families and themselves. It is said there are over 8,000 non privileged drivers, the number of cabs being about 4,000, and the estimated numbers of men to each vehicle being two and a half. The number of privileged cabs is about 1,300. SHIPIEVO INTAILIGENC2.-(THIS D 4 F.) (BT TEIXOILLPIL) Lougee ' Sept. s.—Wind at noon W., light airs. Weather thick and tarp. boat, Sept. 4.

His lordship was accom panied by Lady Napier • and as soon as it became known that the hero of Magdala was in the station, a number of people congregated to see the gallant general. Several gentlemen (says the South London Press.) have determined on meeting the present railway difficulty by . hying the experiment of journeying from the out lying districts to the outskirts of town by the aid of velo cipedes, after the fashion recently adopted in the neigh bourhood of Paris. One expert traveller has proved the possibility of outstripping the steam horse by gliding along at the rate of 15 miles per hour. MR.
