IT is easy for those fair-weather friends of a great cause who are the first to acclaim the strong or to insult the weak, and are always on the aide of the big battalions, to condemn the "criminal " folly " of GARIBALDI'S acts and movements in Sicily. France has twenty thousand men in the Papal territory, and an army of five hundred thou sand in reserve. Vicros Estmarrura. cannot budge without permission from his great and generous ally ; therefore it is rash and criminal on the part of GARIBALDI to raise the standard of resistance to foreign domination, and to call a timid and temporising Government at Turin to account for its forgotten pledges and futile negotiations. Doubtless the position which GARIBALDI has asanmed towards the constituted authorities is on strict legal grounds open to the gravest doubt, perhaps to the severest censure. Whether as a Deputy to the Parlia ment, or as a General of the army, his conduct is equally in defiance of constitutional law and of military discipline. It may even be said that nothing but the certainty of accomplishing results which are their own justification and indemnity can make the noblest of ambitions virtue. And we know that GARIBALDI'S ambition is to consummate the deliverance of his country. But is it not mere miserable pedantry to affect to treat the Liberator of the Two Siciliea as any ordinary deputy, and officer of the Royal army f It was not by the soldier bearing the Ki'o's commission that Sicily and Naples were wrested from the Bourbons, nor was it the member of the Opposition that laid down the Dictatorship of a conquered State, and gave away a kingdom. GARIBALDI is alto gether an exceptional individuality ; exceptional not so much by the valour of his exploits in the field, and by the disinterestedness of his patriotism, as by the scope of his political achievements. In him Italy beholds the highest and purest expression of her national will and purpose. He is accused of being one of those " abstract" heroes who never bound their purposes by possibilities, and who are more remarkable for the faith that removes moun tains than for the wary caution which is content to climb them. Yet, as he is, dreamer, fanatic, or revolutionist, he represents, somehow or other, a moral power which statesmen of the RATTAZZI calibre can neither bend nor break. To pretend to turn such a man back from his resolve by calling him a flagrant rebel, or warning him of the dangers on his path, is to waste time and words. We cannot alter the fact that one of Itsrrszzi's first endeavours when ho came into office was to conciliate the impatience of GARIBALDI by promises and proposals which the Minister was prepared to disavow. We cannot alter the fact that M. RArrezzes Government had the capacity to deceive but not to contend with such a man. How was it possible for M. Rsrrszz► to satisfy at once such a patron as the Emperor of the Fnancil and such a supporter as GARIBALDI ? The Turin Govern ment could neither permit nor prevent the enlist ment of volunteers. It could furnish arms and money for some distant adventure which was to relieve Italy of the presence of a dangerous patriot, but it was surprised by a muster of red shirts at Sarnico. It is because M. RATTAZZI'II Government represents nothing but the _ caprice of an imperious foreign patron, while GARIBALDI personifies the aspirations of the people of Italy, that the one is at this moment a falling statesman, and the other an insurgent chief. The present crisis in Italy is due, at least in a secondary degree, to the essential weakness of M. Rerrezzi's Government. But the prime author of it, and of all the dangers to Italy which it portends, is the Power that peraisia in holding Rome as a material guarantee for the weakness, disunion, and dependence of Italy. It was reported the other day that M. THOGVESILL had complimented General DURAND° on his " firmness." But it seems the Marquis Perum was received at the Tuileries as a " con " flexion " of the family only, not as ono of the Ministers of the King of ITALY, and that he was compelled to listen to very disagreeable observa tions. Did the Marquis PZPOLI venture to inform his cousin that the Garibaldi= movement was a deathblow to the Mnratist conspiracy ? M. Rarrszzi, he might have added, is taking lessons in a good school. Re has already proclaimed martial law in Sicily, and in the Neapolitan Provinces he has concen trated all powers in the hands of a military governor. " Not the state of siege ; anyone can "govern with the state of siege !" laid CAVOUB, on his deathbed. M. Rarrazzi, perhaps, is anxious to prove that even the state of siege is not sufficient in the hands of a Minister without moral force, and who takes his instructions from a foreign Power. There is uo denying that many of the truest friends of Italy and of GLErnaLin regard with the moat anxious apprehensions the present state of affairs in Sicily. "We cannot," they say, "go to Rome without the consent of France. ' Rome or death' is a startling cry, but we Lave ileither the moral nor the material means , of enforcing it without the will of the EMPRILOIL England, no doubt, could do more for us than all the demonstrations of the party of action, I but no one supposes that England will take action on the Roman question. No doubt Oaaiu&LDl Will be able to cross the Straita ; to make a trium phal march through Calabria, and from thence to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING AITGI7ST 22, 1862. reach the Papal frontiers at the head of tea or it maybe twenty thousand volunteers. But what next He will then find himself in the face not of Gene ral Da MONTEBELLO'S twenty thousand men, but of the whole French army. So that on the one hand, we have civil war ; on the other, France and Austria shaking hands over our re opened grave." This is a sad prospect ; we trust and believe it is a vision of alarmists. M. RAT TAZZI is so apt a pupil of Imperialism that we must caution our readers against too im plicit belief in the rumours which pro- Deed from tainted sources. Nothing as yet has warranted the mad belief that GARIBALDI con templates an armed attack upon the French garri son in the Papal States. He is too much of a soldier to offend the just susceptibilities of a gal lant army whom he has learnt to respect as enemies and as comrades. He has never in any authentic speech or proclamation held the people of France responsible for the acts of its Government. He bears grateful witness to the fact that all the most enlightened organs of opinion in France are on the side of Italy and of Italian unity. He voll not forget that heroic Frenchmen have fought and died for Italy by his side. GARIBALDI is not the man to be ungrateful to the countrymen of Ds norm The Emperor of the Fames discharged Italy from all obligations to himself when be signed the preliminaries of Villafranca, and exacted two provinces and sixty millions of francs as the price of Solferino and Magenta. GARIBALDI may summon the Roman people to rise against their detested rulers, and he may tell them that it was the French EMPEROR that proclaimed the principle of non-intervention, that demanded Italy for the Italians, and that has acknowledged no other title to the throne of France than the rightful sovereignty of the national will. Loyal and singlehearted to the last, GARIBALDI will assure the Romans, as he has already assured the Kura, that he owns no other flag than the Cross of Savoy, and that his device is ever, " Vicros Emstaivars. and Italy !" gbe eroun.

Collard, whose name is well known in connexion with the celebrated pianoforte establishment, were interred at Kensal.green Cemetery. The deceased gentleman had just entered upon • career of great usefulness, with a rich prospect before him of a happy and prosperous future—a future destined, it would appear, not to be fulfilled in this life, for he was prematurely cut off at the early age of 26. He was universally beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. and as • tribute of regard to his memory, the whole of the employe. of this establishment, numbering nearly 500 persons, assembled at the cemetery to follow his remains to their last rating-place. LORD BROUGHAM AT SCARBOROUGH.—On Wed nesday afternoon Lord Brougham, who is visiting Scar borough, delivered an address in the music-ball of the Spa. Seldom, on behalf of the Mechanics' Institute. Mr. 11. Walker, the president of the Mechanics' Instutute, took the chair. Lord Brougham in his address, which lasted about half-an-hour, explained that in May last year he was pre vented by lines from presiding at the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes, and that in consequence he felt that he could not now refuse to comply with a request to address the friends of the local institute. He had the morning before gone over the new buildings opened &bon. a year ago, and been highly gratified with all he saw. It was not possible, he said, to exaggerate the benefits of such institutions. In the present state of distress there wee a most remarkable and gratifying air cumstanoe to be reflected upon—the co nd uct of the working classes. Looking back to 30 or 40 years ago, when there were many cases of distress and evil tunes, as, for instance, in 1822-3—the times of the Lad dites,—viewing the conduct of those men and the admirable conduct of our fellow-countrymen in Lancashire and the West Riding at the present tiros, the contrast was extreme and most gratifying. He could not account for the difference or explain it in any other way than by attributing it to the great improvement of the people by education and other means. As the fast friend of the working classes all his life -as the fast friend, to the extent of his poor powers, of the cause of education and the diffusion of knowledge to all his fellow men, this result was to him most gratifying. The masters—the capitalists—had behaved, generally speak ing, as well as it bad been possible for them to do. The sacrifices which had been made by numbers of those mini- Uinta in order to keep their mills open exceeded all belief. (Hear, hear.) After a vote of thanks to Lord Brougham, a resolution, proposed by Mr. J. 1). Dent, M.P., and seconded by Mr. J. R. - Mills, M.P., was adopted commending the Scarborough Mechanics' Institute to the hearty support of the public.

Tits ROUPELL CAFE.—A correspondent of the Times, subscribing himself " A Lambethisn," writes as follows :—" In the course of the examination of Mr. Roupell it will have been observed that be more than once stated that he bad been robbed and defrauded by other ; yet, strange to say, this avowal was Dot followed in either instance by what would appear to have been the na tural rejoinder, 'By whom T' Had this, as it appears to me, pertinent question been asked, I believe startling revelations would have been the result.

I was right in cautioning your readers against lending credence to the very suspiciously-worded telegram relating to DI. de Lavalette's visit to the Pope. Hear what the Constitutionnel says on the subject, after announcing that it is "authorised to give this despatch the moat formal denial :" We had received the above despatch during the day in common with oar brethren ; but a very slight examination of it having convinced us of its falseness, we abstained from inserting it in our country edition, and we have, in doing so, been properly inspired. Doubt. lase it is well understood that so long ea our troops remain at Rome the Holy Father need not fear an invasion. It is unnecessary to observe this. Of the two announcements contained in the despatch, then, one is superfluous, and the other is contrary to the policy which M. de Lavalette repre sents at Rome. This is formal. Assuming the authority of M. Boniface to .peak as he does, the French govern ment does not guarantee the integrity of the papal territory. Now, of course the " authority " upon which M. Boniface speaks is the Minister of tho Interior. There is, probably, no love lost between M. de Peraigny and M. de la Guerronuibre, and there is no doubt that the former, as he penned the communication to his semi-offi cial organ, gloated by anticipation over the moral douche the latter was about to receive from the columns of the Coastitu tic/natl. Indeed there are people so sceptically minded as to ask this question—is it not possible that M. de Peraigny made the giant in order to slay it 1 These unbelievers declare that no telegram of public import can be published without first passing through the Rome Office ; and, say they, if M. de Persigny really wished the suppression of a tele gram so utterly at variance with the truth, and so likely to excite public indignation, why did he not at once then and there scratch his pen through it 1 ll en etait Lien le maitre. Without endorsing this speculation, I give it you for what it is worth. The Prase, in allusion to this subject, says : These repeated notes of the Constitutionnel furnish plain evidence that the present situation in Italy is rightly un. derstood—the intention is good, doubtleas, but it W insuffi ciently manifested. It is no longer enough, as facts prove more and more clearly, to remain satisfied with semi official promisee The Pays, perhaps a little jealous of the " rival shop," after stating that the France " attributed" to the famous despatch "a character as certain and as authentic as if it had been inserted in the first page of the Moniteur itself," thus goes on to let out " the secrets of the prison house :" Yet it is well known by the public, and still better by journalism, that the communications of private telegraphy must only be reosired as documents intended to inform public curiosity under every reserve, and above all sub ject to ulterior control. _ _ _ The Opinion Nationale, in a widely different spirit, comments on what it well calls "an im broglio :" When we reflect that the matter under discussion is • question which may set Europe in flames, urge France into a fratricidal war with Italy, destroy the fruits of three years of labour and of prudence, and rouse between the two countries implacable hatred, one cannot help thinking that the equivocal dispatches of the Haves +agency, the equivocal denial of the Coriatitutionad, enfeebled as they are by the persistent affirmations of La Prance, fling more obscurity than light upon the terrible eventualities which rise before us. Silence would be the worthier part. At the present time from 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers suffice us to violate the rights of the Romans (to use M. Billanit's own words). Let but Garibaldi succeed in crossing the straits, and in six weeks we must, perhaps, occupy Italy with 150,000 men to keep down Turin, Milan, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Naples and Palermo. It is to this that we are tending, or, rather, that events are urging us. If we were clericals or legiti mists, we should greatly rejoice. To sum up, have we a policy at Rome ? Or have we two? Or have we none? Of what use let us ask is the Moniteur, if it allows the coon try to oscillate with dosed eyes between two radically oppo- site policies ? It appears to us, however, that the question is of some importance to us. The following letter from Sicily has been ad dressed to the Turin correspondent of the Prase, dated Pietraperzia, August 12 : I write in great emotion. Yesterday I had the honour of lodging General Garibaldi in my house. Invited by the Unitary Emancipation Society, he . came among us. Impossible to describe the general enthusiasm. The clergy, the National Guard, the municipal junta, the entire people conducted bim to the cathedral, where, after a solemn Te Deuns, and an address by Father Pantaleo, General Garibaldi an nounced to the assembly:his programme of " Rome or Death." All the population is in movement. The Syndic and his two sons were enrolled. At this moment a deputa tion is occupied in collecting money to equip the new volunteers. Garibaldi is highly satisfied. The deputy Nicotera, Colonel Oddo, Major Basso, and Father Pantaleo are with Garibaldi. (Signed) VICENZO DI BLAB!. It is announced that M. Benedetti, French minister at Turin, now en col* here, will return to his poet at the end of the week. According to the Augsbourg Gazette, the Emperor of Ruasia's recognition of the kingdom of Italy is all a joke. He has recognised a kingdom, but has his mental reserves as to what are the territories to be included iu that kingdom. The journal in question informs us that iu a " moment of noble in dignation," Francis 11., late of Naples, now of Rome, on hearing that the above-named Emperor bad notified the above-mentioned recognition, resolved to recall M. Capeoe-Galeota, his mi nister at St. Petersburg. A despatch to that intent was drawn up, and was about to be sent to the telegraph office, when Prince Wolkow aki, the accredited representative of the court of Russia to the ex-King of Naples, made his appear ance. He announced that he came to oppose the intended manifestation of ex-royal indignation, as not only premature, but wholly uncalled for. On being asked for an explanation, he said that cer tainly his imperial master had recognised the king dom of Italy, there was no disputing the fact ; but that his imperial Majesty was still in his heart a supporter of the cause of the ex-King, and was only awaiting the assembly of a con ,greas to give utterances to his sentiments. I am assured positively that Prince Wolkowski did use the language attributed to him. Now it is difficult to suppose that any man occupying even the shadow of a diplomatic post would dare to hazard such an assertion upon his own responsi bility. Until he is disavowed, then, this mon strous and incredible assertion, containing a charge of duplicity and treachery against the Emperor of all the Russian, must pass for true. Let me add that the fact had already been commented on that, although General de Sonnaz was notoriously accredited by the court of Turin to that of St. Petersburg, Prince Wolkowski has not been withdrawn from his mission ►t Rome. Doubtless the fact of his not having been received at St. Petersburg at the time when the above lan guage was used at Rome, will be pleaded in extenua tion. Nevertheless, the language itself must either be repudiated or accepted—no matter where or when or under what circumstances it was uttered. The Bourse was agitated to-day in consequence of the uncertainty of political events in Italy. Rents fell 150. both for cash and account, closing at &Or. 80c. for one and the other. Mobilier fell Bfr. 25c. for both Guth and account. Italian Loan fell 45c. for cash and 30c. for account, leaving off at 70fr. 40c. and 70fr. 500. respectively. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. As yet there are no symptoms of the monster attendances which were promised towards the close of the Exhibition, although the people are pouring in from the country in great numbers. The largest recent excursion train came up on the Brighton line, and this, with another on the Smith Eastern, brought up detachments from all the towns on the southern and south-eastern waste. As the harvest must now be nearly finished, it is expected we shall soon have much larger numbers from these rich agricultural districts.

The relations of Russia with Japan have always been friendly. The proximity of both kingdoms, and the general interests arising thereby, offer guarantees for the duration and consolidation of the mutual trade. I value the friendship which the Tycoon has manifested by this embassy, and the sentiments which he luui caused to be expressed towards me. I hope that your residence in my capital will convince you how einoerely Ruses is actuated towards Japan." _ _ The Ituiependance Beige states that more than 000 persons lays promised to attend the meeting of the Inter national Association of Social Science for 1862. The state of health of M. Horace Vernet has, according to Parisian intelligence, for some time excited anxiety on the part of his friends. The Emperor has. it is said, sent many times to make inquiries respecting the great painter, who his just submitted to a painful operatics. The condition of the patient is serious. The Journal de Bergerac tells the following story, the oorriataleas of which it guarantees. In one of the com munes of the arrondissement the mayor, in convoking hie municipal council for the ceremony of the 15th of August, had inserted in the summons the words "A l'occaaion de la fete de S. hi." A member of the cowbell remarked, in a tone hell-laughing, half serious, that the initials S. M. concealed an arrierc penale, and that the municipal autho rity wished to designate by it Saint Mary. He added that it would have been may to prevent any doubt by the addi tion of the letter " I," which would have perfectly iodic:Med his Imperial Majesty. "You deceive yourself," observed the person whom he was addressing, •'some one more acute than you would have discovered Sainte Marie An nacelle." A balloon ascent was made at Berlin a few days beck by the aronaut Regenti, in company with two literary gentlemen. After attaining an elevation of 10,000 metres they descended about 8 in the evening at Spandau, but the anchor of the balloon not holding, it was dragged along until it became fixed in the railway telegraphic lines; the poste of which were thrown down. At that moment an express train was heard coming up, but fortunately the signals of the ptard, who had seen the balloon, were observed by the driver, and the train wasetapped. The seronaute were then extricated, but the balloon escaped, and hen not since been recovered. -- • --- TROUBLE WITH THE Stevne.—A gentleman just from the South informs us that in the sections be visited the inhabitants were likely to have considerable trouble with the slaves, who were rapidly becoming insubordinate, having in many cane abandoned all labour. They were moving about the country in bands, plundering wherever an opportunity offered. In feat, the scarcity of provisions in some oases compelled the blacks to resort to theft to obtain food in sufficient quantities to sustain life. Should this scarcity continue, and the negro°s get desperate, • terrible future will be in store for the women and children thus left at the mercy of such • large number of men made merci leas by the privations and sufferings consequent upon the rebellion.—Boston Travdkr, August 4.

SINGULAR Cosa or MANSLAUOHTER.—YesteedAy evening Mr. Bedford resumed the inquiry at St. James's Workhouse, Poland-street touching the death of • nude child which was left in • hamper by a man unknown, at the residence of Dr. Parfitt, 295, Pall-mall, on the 2nd instain. Since the last inquiry a woman miming in the name of Simmonds, residing at 60, Chandosotreet, called at St. J111:01111 ' 11 Workhouse, stating that she thought she knew the mother of the child, who had been confined at her house, Commerciabdnet, Commercial-road East, but circum stances arose which induced Sergeant Bunco, 29 C, to take her into custody on suspicion of being the mother of the child, and causing its death by placing it in • hamper, or by giving it opium, from the effects of which it appeared to be suffering when taken out of the hamper. She subsequently admitted that she had placed it in the hamper and sent it to Dr. Psrfitt, as she was nearly starv ing, and Dr. Parfitt was a friend of hers. This Dr. Parett, who was present, most emphatically denied. She also stated that her brother-in-law, • man named Ogilvy, resi ding in Hastings-street., New-road, persuaded her to do it, and also took the hamper with the child to Dr. Paten's house, but Dr. Parfitt's servant could not identify him, consequently he was discharged from custody. The jury, after • long deliberation, returned • verdict of manslaughter against Maria Marsh and Henry Ogilvy, and the coroner issued his warrant for the re-apprehension of Henry Ogilvy, and the detention of Maria Marsh (she being in custody), and the inquiry then terminated. FaunirruL Accingar.—Last evening Dr. Lan heater, the coroner, held an inquest at the Middlesex Hos pital, on the body of Mrs. Mary Ann Stokes, aged U years, residing at 33, Broad-street, Golden-square. The evidence proved that on last Tuesday morning, shortly after midnight, the deceased returned home accompanied by her son.in-law, from visiting some frie nds in Fetter lane, partially under the influence of liquor. While she was taking off her boots upon the first floor landing, she staggered backwards and fell beadforemnet through an open French window, immediately behind her, on to the level of the parlour window, with such fearful violence that she literally hounded from thence into the area. The son.in law raised an alarm, and she was directly picked up and conveyed to the hospital, where she expired from the mortal effects of a fractured skull and other extensive in. juries. A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded. A NARROW ERCAP&—An accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon last, at Lay's Colliery, near Brierley hill, South Staffordshire. by which one man lost his life, and another made one of the narrowest mown on record in the annals of pis incident.. The water shaft of the above colliery being in want of repairs, Silas Whitehouse, a master sinker, was asked to inspect it and give an estimate as to the cost of the job. With • view of doing so he proceeded to descend the shaft, on Wednesday afternoon, in company with the engineer of the colliery, Thomas Hicks. As such shafts are seldom de scended except for the purpose of inspeetiog their con dition the bucket used for drawing the water is generally made to do duty on such omissions. Whitehouse and Hicks were descending in the bucket, each with one leg in it and the other hanging over the side. When about 40 yards from the month of the pit the engine got out of gearing, land they began to descend with alarming velocity. Hicks stretched out his leg and caught one of the timbers which support the sides of the pit, and having laid hold of an iron rod that runs down the side of the shaft he managed to swing himself and the bucket, and thus gain a place of comparative safety. The bucket caught on a timber lower down, and Whitehouse called to Hicks for assistance ; but a few seconds had sanely elapsed before the weight of the still descending chain drew the bucket from the timber, and Precipitated Whitehouse to the bottom of the shaft. a depth of nearly 200 yards. Hicks was soon rescued from his 'Milo= position without having sustained the slightest injury. The body of Whitehouse was recovered in about three hours. It wee most shockingly mutilated. The un fortunate man was about fifty years of age, and has left a wife and a large family.

THE LATE FIRE AND LOSS OF THREE LIVES IN CUMBERLAND-STREET. CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) This morning Dr. Lan kester proceeded with the inquiry (which be formally opened on Saturday) into the circumstances leading to the deaths of Mr. Samuel U Barrett and his daughter; Julia Victoria and Helen; Blanche, whose bodies were taken from the ruins of Mi. Barrett's house, 9, Great Cumberland-street, Hyde-pail, after its destruction by fire on the morning of the 15th inst. The Rev. Brownlow Maitland, the first witness; examined, said the age of Mr. Barrett was 46, that of the eldest daughter 10 years, and that of the youngest :' years sad 9 months. The rev. gentleman took the opportueity of contradicting • statement which had, he said, been mule in • newspaper—that the Fire Brigade were inefficient, sioce they had only put down the fire when the house was ch.,- roughly burnt out, the fact being that the firemen exerted themselves most energetically, and that the greater part of the rooms in the house were only injured by water. Captain Shaw, Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, said be was not himself at the fire, but he was sure the efforts of the brigade were alike euergetic and successful. awl hr re. quested the coroner to allow the jury to accompany Min to the house for the purpose of being convinced of that fact. The Coroner, however, said the jury had alr ee ly in 'peeled the premien, and that it was quite unnecessary t o repeat the visit. John Sommers, of Charles-street, Portman-squar e , said be was a volunteer fireman, and accompanied the engine from the Bakeretreet station to the fire on the night of Thursday week, and that when the foreman of the engine broke in the lower panel of the hall door, he (witness) crept through into the hall, and found two bodies lying there. The heat was very great in the hall ; and then was a good deal of fire at the lower end, but there was very little smoke, although part of the stairs had fakes. Witness unbolted two bolts, and tarred the key in the lock once, but the door did not open. [The lock was here produced, and was found to require a double turn of the key to draw back the bolt.] Witness was compelled to get out of the hall into the street again, owing to the heat, leaving the bodies there, but he had no doubt they were dead at the time, as they neither stirred nor groaned. They were lying with their feet to the door not more than two feet or two feet six inches away from it, and looked as if they had fallen back. wards while at the door. After witness got out the door was forced open from the outside. William Browne, 14, London Fire Brigade, said that when be reached the house with the last witness he found the fire coming out of the basement. They first went down the area, where they worked for about ten minutes, and then went up into the street, to the hall door. which it required seven or eight minutes to break open. The bodies of Mr. Barrett and one daughter wars then got out, but witness knew nothing about the third body. Had no doubt, from the examination of the house, that the fire originated in the pantry, on the basement. As to the cause of the fire wit ness could give no opinion. J. Bridge, parish engine-keeper, corroborated the previous evidence, and said he got in through the broken panel, and drew back the body of Mr. Barrett, so as to enable the door to be opened from the outside. Saw no sign of life in either of the bodies. The heat was very great then, and must have been much greater before the staircase fell and the door was opened. A. Moore, 59 11, metropolitan police, said he was on duty in Cumberla nd-street, and discovered the fire about a quer tee past 12 by • light in the kitchen. Immediately sprung his rattle, Called "fire," and rang the bell, there being no knocker on the door. A gentleman came to the door is • very excited state. Witness said, " Your house is on fire, sir," upon which he exclaimed, "nth, my family !" and immediately shut the door. Wit ness could only see a part of his body, but he had a par of drawers on. Witness heard him lock the door, and rushed at it to see if it was fast. Finding it so, thought the gentleman was gone upstairs to look after his and not off for the engine, having previously sent for the fire-escape. It was about four minutes after witness rang the bell before Mr. Barrett came to the door, the fire. escape arri • about two minutes later. Mr. Joseph 52, Upper Seymour-street, Portman square, said that while going to bed he was alarmed by the screaming of a female in the street. Looked out of the window, and was told by a policeman that there was • fire. Ran round to Cumberland-street, where be saw fire coming out of the kitchen window of No. 9, and saw a female standing on the doorstep screaming. The woman was fully dressed, and did not apparently belong to the house. As witness was rushing to the door it was opened . by • tag gentleman in • demising-gown ; and witness said, Close the door—alarm the inmates ; your house is on fire ;" upon which the gentleman exclaimed, " The house is on fire . and shut the door immediately. Saw no policeman at the door at the time. Witnen left the door to assist at the fire amps. Moore, 59 D, was recalled, and said he did not the this witness at the doer, upon which The Coroner remarked that Mr. Barrett appeared to bare come twice to the door, the first time to the policeman, and afterwards to Mr. Roberts. • Mr. Carlisle, an insurance agent, said be was first at the door, having met three women who said there was • fire. Saw the fire ooming out of the basement window, and at once began to ring the bell, and kirk at the door; continued doing so till a geetleman came down, up= which witness told him to shut the door, as his bonne was on firm The pclioeman came up soon after. Heard no screaming in the purge • but about four minutes after the gentleman had come to the door, heard a noise inside as if some one were trying to =bolt the door. G. Elden, fire-escape conductor, rid he was called to the fire about a quarter past 12 ; put op his bidder to the second floor, and brought down the servant, and the young child. Went up again, but could find no one else in that room. Searched the third door without finding anyone, but helped the governess out at the back. No one told him there was anithert R one else ian the thboue, Pl6 lllsr said he went to bed at half. peat ten, leaving all safe be low. Sarah Vaughan, cook, gave similar evidence, but added that there had been • strong smell of fire about the house on the Wednesday mining 'before the tire, but that Mrs Barrett on searching could find no trace of fire, arid it was concluded that the smell had travelled from • fire there was in the Banwater.road. Annie Bolivia, nursemaid, was sleeping in the snood floor front room when she was awoke by a sense of suffocation. Julia Victoria Barrett and Sestina Barrett slept with her. She ran to the window to see when the fire was, reused the children, and opened the door to COWS up the other servants ; but the heat was so. gnat the had to close it again. She and the children then went to the window and leaned out to avoid the smoke, and while there Mr. Barrett came into the room and put his hand on to Mica re and said, " Who is this r and she told him. Whilst he was there the fire escape was put up to the window, and she gave Miss Evelio& to the fireman and got into the escape herself, being almost suffocated. Left Mr. Barrett and Miss Barrett in the room. Never saw them again. Told the fireman they were there. Elizabeth Mills, heed nurse, slept oa the third floor tack with the two children, Helena and Albert Raised a cry of " Fire," then snatching up one of the children ran out on the leads, where she found some of the other servants. Tried to get hack to the other child, but the heat was too great. Elisabeth Menzies, upyer Isomeanaid, gave similar evi dence, adding that she perceived the smell of fire oe the Wednesday evening, and that it seemed to come from be tweets the kitchen and the pantry. —John Parsons, coach man to Mr. Milner Gibson, said he lived at 3, Cumberland mews ; saw the fire, put up a ladder to the first door back room, and took out Mr; Barrett, the nurse, and the youngest child. Kent, 191 C, assisted in breaking open the door, where he received the body of Victoria Barrett from the fireman's arms. He so far contradicted previous evidence se to say that the child was alive when in his arms, and eves after she was laid on the table at No. 5, Cumberland-street, the house to which she was taken: but that she lied about debt or ten minutes afterward*. The ladies of the house gave her every attention. A doctor was sent for, but she died before he arrived. In reply to a question from the coroner, this witness said he carried her in his area down the steps of the door, and that then she walked tout of the way to' o. 5 between him and another constable. She walked about six or seven yards, when she ground her teeth and drew up her arms, after which she was carried. At the conclusion of the endow; The °wooer summed up.
