PEsEY'S interesting pamphlet on the precise legal force and wider ecclesiastical bearings of the recent Judgment of the Crown in Council has been criticised with considerable severity both by friends and foes—perhaps, indeed, in some respects with greater severity than a dispassionate review of its statements will strictly justify. It is true that throughout the pamphlet he speaks strongly as one who feels strongly, and is thoroughly in earnest ; but this is not at all surprising, nor need it be offensive, if the position and convictions of the writer are fairly considered. It must be remem bered, moreover, that Dr. Prsev's views on the points at issue, so far from being the extreme and isolated crotchets of an excited and controversial mind, represent in subatance the deliberate opinion of a considerable body amongst the English clergy. The worst that can be said against the writer of the pamphlet is, that he speaks more as an earnest theoltgian than as a consistent church man, and that iu his zeal to defend what he re gards as the dogmatic purity of the Church he overlooks to some extent what is due to the exi gencies of the Establishment. In common with many theologians and divines, both in and out of the Establishment, Dr. PESEY looks upon the doctrines referred to in the recent decision of the Privy Council as vital points of faith, essential to the existence of the Church as • Christian institution ; and, it seems, he at first thought that the effect of the Judgment would be to legalise their denial to any extent. In order to teat the correctness of this view he prepared a Case for the opiniou of counsel, embodying in a series of questions some of the extreme results which appeared to be legitimately involved in the principles of the Judgment. This Case he submitted to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Sir 1I con CAIRNS, and their decision considerably narrowed the pre sumed legal effect of the Judgment. They give it as their opinion that the recent judgments of the Privy Council do not by necessary implication, or otherwise, furnish the means of determining in the abstract other legal questions, being absolutely re stricted to the particular cases submitted for deci sion ; and it would, therefore, be impossible to derive from these decisions any rule for the deter mination of other hypothetical cases each of which, should it ever assume • practical form, must depend upon its own circumstances. Dr. PUSEY thus learned that the legal effect of the Judgment was narrower than he had originally supposed. As he himself puts it : " The legal " interpretation, ruled in each case, is the mini " mum which lies in the words. It matters not " whether, by any apparent legitimacy of " deduction, any other consequences might "be derived from the letter of the " Judgment. Any case, if not absolutely " identical, would (I am informed) have to be " moldered entirely de novo." But Dr. PESET too clear-sighted not to see that this legal narrow ing of the Judgment does not, after all, materially affect its moral and ecclesiastical influence, which from his own point of view he very naturally regards as likely to produce the most pernicious results. The Judgment, he holds, virtually denies the faith on points of vital moment, and the Loan CHAN CELLOR in delivering it "has, as far as in him " lies, poisoned the springs of English justice for " ages, in all matters of faith." " And at " what price I" Dr. Puszv asks. "At the price "of shaking the faith of godly minds in the " Church of England, and of encouraging the " ungodly in sin ; at the price of breakiug off " Churches of the Colonies from the mother " Church, and familiarizing devoted minds among " us at home to thoughts of organic sever►nce " from the Church, whose discipline is fettered by " such • tribunal, that to attempt to enforce any " article of faith is to occasion it to be denied by " the supreme Jurisdiction ; of checking deeds of " liberality to the Church, until she be freed from " this bondage." Turning to the practical question, as to the re medy for these serious evils, Dr. Pussy innate, with considerable warmth and energy of language, that the only alternative for sincere and godly Churchmen is to demand from the Legislature the abolition of the existing Court of Appeal, on pain of leaving the Establishment. It is not very clear from his statements what kind of ecclesiastical court he would substitute for the present supreme tribunal; but, so far as can be gathered from his language, it would be a purely episcopal one—a court or conclave of bishops. It is here that Dr. PESEY'S zeal as a theologian outruns his consis tency and discretion as a member of the Esta blishment. No doubt, as an able and accomplished divine, strongly attached to the dogmatic aide of Christian teaching, Dr. Pi.:SEY would like to have a Court pf Appeal in eccdesiaatical cams that would confirm and enforce in every particular his own doctrinal views, and he very naturally concludes that this tribunal should be a purely clerical or theological one. But such a Court is not only inconsistent with the notion of an Establishment, but radically incompatible with its essential conditions. The State as the trustee of the nation must of necessity retain the supreme control of the high dignities, THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER lb, INC large powers, and ample national endowment which the Church as an Establishmemt iiijoy‘ While the Legislature, therefore, determine; the conditions on which these honours and endow ments shall be distributed, or in other words, decides the legal status of the Church, the interpretation of these laws in cases of dispute must of necessity be reserved to the highest judicial tribunal in the realm. Dr. Puss; however, proposes that the Legislature and the Government should transfer the supreme func tions to a body of ecclesiastics, who might at any time change the conditions of the national trust according to ebbe and flows of current theological opinion. Even were it practical, the wisdom of such a step is open to the very gravest question. But it is tolerably clear that, in any case, Dr. PusiT's ideal of Church government and discipline can only be realised within the bosom of a volun tary religious community. LATEST INTELLIGENCE 1 214 CONDUCT OF SWEDEN TOWARDS DXNMARIC. The Berlingske Tidende has now published moat of the documents respecting the negotiations of last year between the governments of Copenhagen and Stockholm, the object of which was the con clusion of an offensive and defensive alliance to meet the dangers by which Denmark was threatened from German intervention. These documents are contained in a report presented by the political committee of the Folksthing, and the whole of them are derived from a Danish source. The starting point is that of verbal understanding be tween the two kings of Sweden and Denmark, Charles XV. and Frederick VII., at the beginning of August, 1863. These two princes at a private interview seriously discussed the question of an offensive and defensive alliance, which afterwards passed into the hands of their ministers. Plans were prepared, Sweden seemed ready to enter into an engagement to send 20,000 men to the aid of Denmark in case the conflict with the German Diet should endanger those portions of the Danish monarchy which had no connexion with the German Confederation. The Danish minister states in a despatch that the two governments were entirely agreed on the principal clauses of the treaty, and declares that the moment had come for taking the 'final step. The cabinet of Stockholm temporised and made a weak opposition. At this point King Frederick VII. died, and Christian IX. succeeded to the Danish throne. The Swedish government at first declared that this would not alter tbeir inten tions. However, eight days after, it hinted that it would be better, having regard to the possibility of an immediate mediation on the part of the great powers, not to hasten the signing of the treaty of alliance. Events became more menacing ; the claims of the Duke of Augustenberg were put forward, agitation was spreading in Germany, Christian IX. was not recognised as Duke of Sles wig-Holstein by the greater part of his German States, and his envoy was excluded from the Diet. At the same time the Western Powers bestirred themselves, especially England, the treaty of London was appealed to, and the question became European. All this caused Sweden to reflect. She feared to engage herself alone. She wished to move in accord with the great powers, and in a despatch dated December 2, 1863, addressed to Count Hamilton, the Swedish ambassador at Copenhagen, Count Manderatroem declared that a great change in the state of things had taken place since the death of Frederick VII., not by reason of that death itself, but in consequence of other circumstances which attended it, or which resulted from it, as for example, the proclamation of the constitution of the 18th November ; that on the part of Ger many it was no longer a question of simple Federal execution, but an attack upon the integrity of the Danish monarchy ; that there never had been any question of an offensive and defensive alliance, but only of assistance to be given in a given case and in given circumstances ; that certainly the danger which threatened Denmark had increased, but that it might also reckon on more efficacious assistance ; that, at 'all events, the situation of Sweden was not the same ; that she was without doubt obliged to uphold the Treaty of London, but only on the same ground as the other powers ; that she must above all things look to her own interests ; that, finally, if Denmark had the support of the great Western Powers, she need not be afraid of any exaggerated demands, and that if she did not receive that sup port the assistance of Sweden would not enable her to obtain a victory over her powerful adversaries. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor °az ows PARIS, WiDINIDAY Enigma. From the different letters and telegrams sent here within the last few days, it seems pretty evi dent that discord reigns between the two German powers, that Prussia and Austria are endeavouring to court France to the disadvantage of each other, and that although both powers would excuse their conduct by trying to remove each from its own shoulders the chief blame, yet both are cruelly intent on crushing Denmark. The French govern ment has in many instances of late adopted the double action system ; its semi-official organs write in one direction, whilst it is acting in another. The Pays of this evening may be expressing quite the contrary to what M. Drouyn de Lhuys whispers in the private ears of the Austrian and Prussian ambassadors, when it writes with regard to the sum of money which Denmark is to pay to the Duchies: —" Thus, Denmark will not only have been devastated, occupied, ruined with war contributions, and dismembered, but she must pay a considerable amount to the Duchies, which are torn from her. The despatch which gives the details of these de mands does not say how these intolerable proposi tions have been received." M. Bismarck's reply to Lord Russell receives a few comments, and is generally admitted to have been written in a sharply civil form, and it is remarked that whilst the German despatches hint about more difficulties with England, none are , feared with France. The Gazette de la Croix, in deed, says :—" France, it is true, made last month an appeal i% favour of Denmark, but this was only out of compliment to England. Besides this, the step which France took had nothing official in it ; it only consisted in a despatch to the French minister at Berlin, telling him in his conversations with Si. Bismarck and M. Thiele to recommend gentleness towards Denmark. The demand made by Lord Russell for universal suffrage to be applied was not supported by the cabinet of the Tuileries.' This is curious, if true, since the Emperor con siders universal suffrage a panacea for all evils. He tried to stop the war with it. WORKMAN'S SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL. A crowded and respectable of working mua was held yenerday evening, at the e ~ N tea Club, for the porpoise of upsilons a subseription for the lerectiou of • statue to Shakespeare. The chair wee takes' by Mr. Moon; who briefly explained the object of the meeting ; after which Hr. BADMILIDOZ rose to move the first resolution—" That this meeting cordially approves of the step taken by the working men of London in setting on foot a movement of their own to erect • memorial of Shakespeare in the !metropolis." He claimed Shakespeare as • working man, one who bad sprung from the industrial clams, but never ' tinker as one whose labours had conferred more glory upon England than that of all the primes, statesmen, and warriors. (Odeon.) It wee said that Shakespeare required no monument of done or bees; his mo nument wee in the hearts of the people. True, but they wanted • thrice to which all true worshippers might go, and which would let foreigners see that the greatest of Englishmen was not forgotten in his own country. Mr. Bainbridge concluded by complimenting the ladies who wen present on their zeal and devotion to the bard, in coming out in such inclement weather to give their aid in erecting a monument to his memory. Mr. BAITILB, in the abeam of Mr. Odgers, eloquently eeooeded the motion. _ _ _ Mr. GODWLY, as • member of the national committee, did not feel that he was acting disloyally to a project which was still in abeyance—(• laugh)—by corals( therefrom to pro mote the workmen's memorial. This project was a most feasible one, end could seedy he effected by the trades unions of England—indeed he did not see why those of Ireland and Scotland should not co-operate. (near.) Bat what they wanted was work, not speeches, and he trusted that the neat would be the erection of • statue which they need not be ashamed to show to foreigners. Bat above all things let them have • good status, for • bad one was • public nuisance, damaging the public taste and ex posing us to ridicule. He trusted that by the time indi cated in the arrangements we should have • good statue to Shakespeare raised by the working men of England- . (Cheers.) The resolution was then pat and carried unanimously. Mr. DUNNING, secretary to the bookbinders' society, moved the second resolution—" That the public generally be appealed to for subscriptions of one penny and upwards towards the Workmen's Shalispeare Memorial Fund," and Mr. HOWELL seconded it, reminding the meeting that we not only spoke the language but thought the thoughts of Shakespeare, and that the propossdmemorial would show that English working men were not ungrateful for the teaching of their illustrious bard. Others had failed in • similar object by disunion, but they would succeed by union, and by • hearty seal in the promotion of their object. Mr. HMV HABBTON eloquently supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. WEIZELZB proposed the third resolution—" That the foundation stone of the proposed Shakspeare memorial be laid on Monday, the 24th of April neat, with a suitable de monstration, in which all classes shall be invited to take a part." He had assisted in the Primrose-hill demonstration, and he looked back to the circumstance with feelings of pride and exultation. He should with equal pleasure pro mote the present object. Mr. BAINBRIDGE here interrupted the proceedings to ex plain the mode in which the committee hoped to raise the necessary funds. They had prepared sheets of stamps like postage stamps, one of which every one should receive who should subscribe • penny, and the stamp being adhesive, he could paste it in his album as a proof that be had been • subscriber to the memorial fond. For subscribers of large some they had prepared handsome cards, ace of which had been designed by their friend Mr. Geo. Cruickshank, who was present. (Cheers.) Mr. Hoerr. who seconded the meolutioe, which bad been proposed by Mr. Wheeler, stated that he also had taken part in the Primrose-hill demonstration—a most remark able one, in his opinion, seeing that, seem-dins to the police reports, there were 100,000 persons present A portion of the press had sneered at the efforts of the working men, but, nevertheless, he believed the latter would be swans ful in raising a worthy monument to Shakspeare. Mr. G. CREICKBBARR supported the resolution with a few humorous observations ; and in conclusion putdown his penny, and claimed the honour of being the first subscriber to the memorial fund. M ilo; resolution having been put and canted unanimously, the proceedings terminated with a cordial voted thanks to the chairman. LORD STANLEY, N.P. c ON THE CONDITION OF IPJLAND. Lord Stanley presided at the dinner of the Tio perm7 Union Farming Society on Tuesday night. In pro posing the toast of the evening, the noble lord said he might be thought too sanguine, but he could not bring him self to take a deeponding view of the future of Ireland. Recent bad season had operated againet the farmers, and from all parts of Ireland, but especially from the south and west, there bas been of late year a continuous outflow of emigration. They had no security molest the recurrence of bad seasons, and the best course they could adopt was to guard against the popular phrase—having too many sus in their basket, or, in other words, planing too much de pendence on any particular crop. (Hear, hear.) The pre sent year happily was the most prosperous sines 1860, and the drought that prevailed had not been half so severely felt in Ireland as in England. If he thought that the drain of the population was to continue for any considerable time, that the country was to become a mere grazing field, and cattle were to take the place of men, be would not be able to express himself hopefully, and, u an Englishman, he should deeply lament that the empire was deprived of so many to hearts and strong arm; so much capacity for labour, and the heroic courage which had been tested long ago, and might be required again ; but his reading sod observation led him to doubt that the tide of emigra tion would continue to flow at the rune rate, and although he knew that a country so vast as America must always at tract numbers to its shores, the feet of the war raging in the United States, where them was a government expendi ture of about half a million a day, and the indication which he believed to exist of the approaching termination of that tremendous conflict, induced him to believe that whets the war ceased, the release from the military service of about a million of men would reduce the demand for European la bour. Moreover, he saw with pleasure the gradual increase of wages in Ireland, which, as it progressed, must remove many of the temptations to emigrate. As men became abundant in America wages would diminish, as they de creased in Ireland wages would increase, and thus before long the disparity of wages which existed would he in a large measure removed. This led him to the reflection that the low paid labour which had been the rule in Ireland was not always cheap, sod that the well fed and well paid I labourer was likely to do more work than three men dieted and remunerated on the old scale. Ireland, undoubtedly, was a prolific country. Within the past few days he had seen many cabins, where, ales ! the occu pants bad few of the necessaries and none of the comforts of life, but in every cabin some children were sprawling oo the floor. He might be asked why, thee, if the population of Ireland had fallen, that of Eng land had increased. The reason was that England was a manufacturing country. In the English agricultural dis tricts the population had also decreased. Thousands had bees attracted to the large manofacturiag tome. It was • significant fact that there were about 100,000 Irish living in and around Liv erp ool, and the calculation was that there were over 800,0 W Irish in the manufacturing districts of England and Scotland. People ought in fairness to recollect that thew figures did not represent a movement from this oouatry as • whole, but only a movement from one part of the empire to another. He for one hoped that the day would be very far distant when an Irishman would not be received with welcome in England, and an Englishman in Ireland. His lordship referred to the increasing cultivation of flax in the south of Ireland as an experiment which might prove ancossaful, which at least for some years to come should not be treated as other than an experiment. They should not put their bands farther than they could draw them back. He wished to mid u he began. With reined to the value of land, he thought it ought to rise her as in England and Scotland. The Irish climate, if damper, was milder, the soil was more fertile, the beauties of the scenery more frequent and remarkable. When the days of violence and outrage were over, whee life sod property were as safe in Tipperary as in Middlesex—end that time, notwithstanding some poising indications of angry feeling, he rejoiced to believe was not far distant—the natura l resources of the country would begin to be fully developed. He knew Tipperary as long as he knew anywhere; be had wen great c h anges, and expected to see many mom ;he believed that Ireland was deserving to be prosperous and I happy, and it was in the belief that such species as that would contribute to so great a result that he asked them to drink "Success to the Tipperary Farming Society." (Great cheering.)

LONDON JOINT STOCK BANIL-(THIS DAY.; This day an extraordinary general meeting of shareholder§ wu held at the beak premien, Prisms-street; Mr. H. Outlaw u the chair. The object of the present meeting was to confirm the following resolution, period ate previous one :—" That the capital of the London Joint Stock Bank be increased to the sum of 4,000,0001., by the creation of 20,000 new shares of 501. each, to be issued on the following till= : —That of such shares 12,000 only be at present nand. at 401. per share, being 101. per share, the amount paid on the existing shares of the company, and 30/. per share premium, That such shares be in the first instance offered to the shareholders in the proportion of one new share to every five shares of which they are this day the registesed holders, end that any shares not accepted by them be allotted at the discretion of the directors at not less then the premium above-mentioned. That payment be made by four equal instalments, at the following dates, namely :-30th Sep tember, 31st October, 30th November, and 31st December. 11864, to be applied rateably in payment of premium and capital. That the directors issue to proprietors holding shares not a multiple of five a certificate in respect of each share in excess of or below such multiple, and allot to every person producing five of such certificates en or before the 30th day of September next, and who shall comply with the above conditions and sign the deed of accession in respect thereof, One new share. That interest be allowed at the rate of 5/. per cent. per an. num on all instalments (prepayment of which to be allowed) from the time of payment to the 31st December, 1664, from which date the shareholders to be entitled to participate in profits. Where the instalments are not punctually paid in. terest thereon at the rate of 10/. par cent. per annum to be charged. That the premiums when received be divided rateably amongst all the shareholders of the bank, and added to their shares, including the holders of such new shares, whereby the capital of the bank will be increased to 72,000 shares of 50/. each, paid op to the extent of 151. per share. That as to the remaining 8,000 shares, the same be issued by the directors rateably to the shareholders, at inch times and on such terms, in all respects, as the directors may think fit, they being hereby empowered to apply the premiums to be received on such shares, and also any extra premium arisin.; from the issue of the 12,000 shares, as they may deem [rent beneficial to the bank; subject to confirmation at a special general meeting of shareholders." The CIIinIMAN, in movieg a confirmatory resolution, said the circumstances under which the meeting was called were so recent, and the object in view so well known, that it only remained for him to propose the resolution. It might perhaps be of interest to the shareholders who passed the previous resolution to know that none of the proprietors who were absent expressed any dissent from the course adopted. On the contrary, the board bad received many intimations of satisfaction with the proposal then made, and several applications had been made for any shares that were not deposed of. Mr. G. TAYLOR seconded the resolution. Mr. KNIGHT said be believed he was fully fustitiel in per. severing in the amendment which he moved at the last meeting, but in face of the opposition which he then met with. he would not pursue the argument, but would con. tent himself by saying that his opinion on the subject was unaltered and unalterable. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, upon which the meeting seperated. :Irbt Coun. BALMORAL, Sin. 13. The Queen, accompanied by Prinoess Louie, drove yesterday mcening.

On Saturday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, the Prince and Princess of Wales availed themselves of a fa vourable change in the weather to drive from Fredenaborg Castle as far as Elsinore, having of necessity been able to give but a cursory glance at that point on the day of their arrival. The distance, which takes rather more than an hoar to drive, was performed in open carriages, the first a capacious waggon-shaped vehicle containing all the members of the royal families of England and Denmark staying at Fredenaborg, their suites respectively following io open barouches. The Prince of Wales and the Crown Prime of Denmark wore the undress uniforms of general officers; the Princess of Wales appeared in those light tints which are so admirably suited to her complexion. The coachmen and footmen were all arrayed in the full Dm:limb livery of scarlet and gold, with gold laced bats. At the express request of the Princess of Wales, divine service was per. formed in the Castle of Fredensborg on Sunday by the cler gyman by whom, when Princess Alexandra, she was pre. pared for the rite of confirmation. _ _ . The Marquis of Sligo has left the St. George's Hotel. Maria Marchioness of Ailesbnry has left Bretby Park on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Scarborough, who are now entertaining company at their mat in York shire. The Earl of Dalkeith, who arrived in town a few days since from the Continent, will immediately pro ceed to Scotland, where the countess and family are residing. The Earl and Countess of Cardigan are now staying at Aria's Hotel, Cowan, baying returned to England from a tour in Gsrmany.

Eyre Coote, Esq., of Wed Park, near Rock bourse, in Hants, was buried at the latter place a few days since. His body was brought from Germany, where he died. He was the great grandson of the famous Indian warrior of that name, whose fame was so great in India, according to Macaulay, that long after his death the sepoys who fought under him always made a low and reverential salaam when they saw his picture. DRAMA. - - ADELPHL Mr. Took took his annual benefit at this house yesterday evening, on which occuicia a new drama by Mr. John Ominfoed, entitled Stephen Diggs, was played for the first time. In stating that she work in "new "it must be understood that we are merely employing the figurative phraseology of an Adelphi play bill. Stephen Diva is in fact an adaptation of Le Pere Goriot, a three act drama by Mean. Theaulon, Coeberousse, and Jaime, originally produced at the Verifiers Theatre, is Paris, as far back as the year 1835, and founded, as its title implies, upon the powerful and touching, but dar agreeable story by Balzer, which bears the same name. An English version of the French piece was introduced, too, upon oar stage about twenty years ago, the alaptor bestowing upon his work the terrific appellation of the Lear of Prirate Life. At the City of London, the Britancia, and other theatres of a similar clam, the Lear of Prima Life so completely responded to the tastes of the frequenters, that it enjoyed considerable favour with them some few years since, the principal character being then sustained by an American performer of somewhat uncertain talent, named Hudson Kirby. The entertainments commenced with A Woman of Business, and concluded with The Baba in the Wood, the applause throughout the minim being enthusiastic.

The quiet town of Chatteris was a Doane of great excitement yesterday. From some cause not ascertainable at present,. fire broke out on the premises of Yr. Billips, farmer, about 11 S.M. The fire-engines were soon on the spot, and a telegram was despatched for the March engines, which arrived about 12.30 p.m., but the supply of water was inadequate, and consequently was soon exhausted. The wind was extremely high, causing the flames to spread to a most fearful extent, and in lees than the space of three hours upwards of 100 houses were completely burnt to the ground. It is impassible to describe the utter destitution which prevails, several hundred individuals being deprived of homes, and in most CUM of all they possessed. It is supposed that one little girl, aged saves years, has perished in the flames. Had the fire taken plain in the Light, when the inhabitants were wrapped in slumber, the loss of life must have been fearful in the extreme. The fire is supposed to be the work of au incen diary, an unsuccessful attempt having bees made about a fortnight since in the same spot. The police are on the alert, and it in hoped the delinquent will be brought to justice. VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADES.—IT will be reMEM bleed that a week or two back several of the London and suburban volunteer fire brigades, with their engines, were present at Croydon to waist a committee of gentlemen of t h at town in getting up • fir• b rig ade for the protection of property in that ne;gh - oourho od Amongst the brigades that were assembled, first and foremost was that belonging to Frederic Hodges, Eaq., with his two celebrated steam lire amines, " Torrent" and " Fly-by-night." A meeting, which was very numerously attended, was held in the evening, and Mr. Hodges, from his vast experience in fire brigade volun teering matters, gave the gentlemen present some good practical hints and suggestions. He proposed to them, and especiallyto those who were desirous of being active mem bers of the Croydon Volunteer Fire Brigade, that they Mould at once undergo thorough drilling and work the town engine, which he understood to be a very ex cellent one; but upon inquiry be found that 'their fire-extinguishing plant only ooneisted of one fire engine, which was not nearly a sufficient protection for such • large and important town as Croydon. Since this, the local board of health, throeJh Mr. Latham, their engineer, have acted upon the valuable advice of Mr. Hodges, and have ordered of Messrs. Merry weather and Sou, the old-establithed fire.oogine manufacturing firm of Long Acre and Lambeth, a very powerful firaenghie, larger Oven than those supplied by the same makers for the London Fire Brigade, as well as many hundred feet of leather hose, a quantity of leather buckets, /cc.. in fact everything that the board think will be of milkiest power to extinguish such another disastrous fire as has lately happened in Croydon. The new engine, totally unlike the old ODD, is to have a pair of 8-inch cylinders, with gun metal valves and water ways ; it will also have springs, with a forelocking car riage and high wheels, eo as to be enabled to travel quickly over the roughest of roads, and is arranged to be drawn by two, three, or four horses, according to the dis tance at which the fire may be from the DOW fire engine station. The eagioe when worked by its full complement of 36 men will discharge 180 gallons of water per minute to • height of 14d feet, or about 160 feet horizontally. There are two outlets to the engine, so that two powerful full-sized jets may be thrown upon a burning building in various directions. This is not the only volunteer fire bri gade that Mr. Hodges has spent his praiseworthy endea vours in assisting ; we may mention, for example, those at Holloway, Hatobam, New-cross, and even Hastings and Coventry, at all of which his brigade attended to do their utmost in forwarding so important an object ; and there are shortly to be meetings, both in London and the suburbs—each as Brixton and Dulwich—where volunteer brigades are about to start, and to the promoters of these. Mr. Hodges has given his word that he will render every assistance in his power, not only in drilling them in their duties and allowing them the use of his valuable plant for this purpose, but by inspecting their brigades from time to time to see what progress they may make. THE END OF A " GAY " LlFE.—Last evening Mr. Richards held an inquiry at the Mile-end workhouse, respecting the death of Catherine Long, aged 21 years, sad of her new born male child. Inspector James Griffin said that he knew the deceased for the last three mars. He heard her state that she was married at • registry-race. She had led a "gay " life with more than one gentleman.

She had called for assistance, bat no person had ooma She was too weak to make a very great noise. Dr. Stevenson ordered her removal to the union-house. There was sot • scrap of food in that portion of the house when deceased had lived. There was some furniture in the room, but de ceased was very poor. Dr. James Stevenson said that the deceased had died from exhaustion consequent on low ty phoid fever. That was very probably produced by want. Dr. Robertson said that the deceased child was born alive, and had died from want of proper care and attention. Ver dict unordingly.
