Kent and Co. The above subject has been recently treated with great copiousness and erudition in the columns of an influential cotemporary, but although we confess to having received much valuable light from the rules there laid down, the main result of our careful reading has been a melan choly fear that all this fine writing would only terrify our dinner-giving friends, and that we should be deprived of much genial hospitality, by the impossibility which our intending host must feel of complying with the costly arguments of the correspondent from Berkeley-square. Who would now have the moral courage to place before his Mends " the eternal oodshead and shoulders," although, in the season, it is a dish to which an emperor might sit down ? Is not our venerated saddle of mutton also exorcised, and even the royal sirloin banished by this epicurean ukase from all civilised society? Theo, who could respond to the catalogue of rare and valuable wines that are enumerated u the indispensable accompani ment of a well-served dinner? We should, indeed, fear that the age of dinner-giving vas paring away, at least with people of means under ten thousand @jazz, were it not that these Hints for the have oonse floating up lilts oil .11DCW the troubled waters, to lull the storm and smooth away* the difficulties, and show us that the noblest clone national institutions may yet genies on easier conditions than those enjoined by the modern Lemnos. On soaps our author has collected a goodly array of authorities, but Dr. Mayo, the chief, admits that they should be taken in great moderation. We quite agree with him. The origin of maps is easily understood. In countries where they prevail es • dinner necessary the meat is invariably scarce and tough. Being scares, every ingenious device must be resorted to make it goes far u possible; and being tough, it mast be boiled to rags to permit of its mu ticatioe. Soups, therefore, are frequently introduced abroad, as puddings are at Yorkshire schools, to save and screen the meat, and are not at all reconcilable to sound principles of dieteties.The great basis of their composition is hot water, sad the only effect of hot water is to relax the stomach and destroy its con tractile power, which is the first great agent in digestion. Soup palls the appetite and chills the gustatory glands; it is in fact nothing but a "weak invention of the enemy," and should be at once dis carded from English tables, when the intrinsic good ness of the fare requires none of such devices and delusions. With respect to fish, this little book is fall of valuable and interesting information, well calculated to make as satisfied with the placatory store with which Providence has filled the lakes, rivers, and bays of Old England. There is, in fact, no such fish to be obtained anywhere as the salmon of English and Irish rivers, the trout of the Scotch lakes', or the turbot and John Dory, which are so plentiful on the southern and western coasts of Ireland. As good wine needs no bush, neither do such fish require much cooking. Whether boiled, broiled, or fried, all they require is to be done quickly, and done through, and they will recom mend themselves to the daintiest epicure without any but the simplest sauces. They are not generally well handled in England, simply because they are not generally liked. The tremendously active Holed by the great man of the people renders a more sub stantial food necessary. They require, as they say themselves, a food that has more " lasting " in it, and hence fish is sauce, dear, and a luxury. Its cooking has to be learned as an art, and, being too elaborate, is generally a failure. Oar Mend has we perceive, under this head, allowed the Burnt: soup of Run* and the Bonilla baise of Marseilles to escape his researches. lie most not forget them in his second edition, as no enumeration of fish dishes can be complete without them. Wine has been included in the selec tion, we suppose, in order to make the book complete, but it is too extensive a subject to allow of anything valuable to be said of it within so small a compass. As a general rule we know nothing at all about wine in this country, for the fluids we use under that name sre nothing but mixtures of various ingre dients, very different indeed from the primitive ex pressed juice of the grape. The taste for it is not a genuine natural relish, such u we should have for an orange or a grape, or for a savoury piece of meat, but a conventional and acquired palate, and so artifi cial and unrelialics is it, that the most experienced judges can easily be deceived. The keepers of some famous hostelries in the metropolis could tell curious tales about the connoisseurs rejecting some particular port as being too dry or too fruity, and then praising it to the skies when made by a dex terous bit of legerdemain to believe that it had been changed for another bin. How often is honest Bordeaux made to do duty for Chateau Margaux simply by waxing the cork in a particular manner, and bringing it in iu great form in a delicate basket, which the waiter handles as if it were red hot. Dub the same wine with a little port or brandy, and it becomes famous Burgundy, and, later in the evening, a flash of symposiarchal eloquence may possibly elevate it into eke vouyeot. In fact, it is a maxim amongst tavern-keepers that after the first five or six rounds anything will go ; " and certainly extraordinary fluids are sometimes made to "go" during the small hours, both at private and public parties. As for champagne, a bottle of good pale ale in high condition is infinitely better drinking than five sixths of the stuff which is sold in this country at from seven to ten shillings the bottle. The faculty of Paris were right when, in 1778, they pronounced champagne to be the finest of all wines, but what they meant was the champagne made in Champagne, and not the deleterious compound of Jersey cider, goose berry juice, and sugar of lead, which is too commonly sold under that name in this country. To our taste there are only two genuine brands of this glorious wine—Moet, for dry, and Madame Cliquot for sweet champagne. Of the former, there is plenty to be had in England, but the price is long, and the public palate has latterly come to like sweeter wines, which can be had for much less money. It is to this change of taste that is to be attributed the opening of the door for all the modern adulterations. Sugar is a good disguise, and with it, assistance the meet inferior liquids may he made to pass muster. but of genuine sweet champagne the growth of Madams Cliquot's vine yards is the pearl of wines. Once tasted it can never be forgotten, nor mistaken, but we get hardly any of it in England, as there are more cus tomers of half a century old in Russia than all the year's production can supply. " Yeuve Cliquot" is without any qualification the finest wine in the world, and ten years after the old lady's death a ease of it will be worth its weight in gold. As we are nothing it not critical, we mast o b serve to the compiler of these Hints for the Table that he is evidently no smoker, or he would have carried his researches somewhat farther into the cloudland of Tabagie. Ile did not write about Havannahs with one resting delicately between the fingers of his left hand, or collect his thoughts while he watched its pale smoke rising gracefully to the ceiling. The best Havannah cigars are to be had in Liverpool, and next to Liverpool in London. There is only one way of distin guishing them, and that is by their flavour. The Revenue, as he puffs his eiyarro del Hey at 00 dollars the thousand, laughs when he hears strangers descant on the signs and tokens of • good cigar. Colour is nothing, spots are done with vitriol, and as white an ash comes from Hamburg, at ten a penny as from the finest Woodville or Cabanas. Flavour is in short the only teat. The real Haven nab cigar is at once fall and mild, its soothing effects are perceptible from the very lint puff, and there is no taste of bitterness in the mouth after a dozen of them. Bat we must not allow themes which everyone can discuss, which everyone likes, and which anyone can write about, to run away with ea. The author must take our discursive ob nervations 's a proof of the comprehensive character of his book, which contains a grouter number of valu able hints on the subjects of which he treats than any volume of similar size with which we are acquainted.

It was understood that Mr. Bright was that evening to partiaßY unfold his plan. In time or four weeks Lord Derby would most probably lay the ministerial mesons on the table of the house.

I posed to group Whiter.= and Mile-end, with a popula tion of 104,631, into one rough, to return two mei; and Stratford, Bromley, and Polder, with 47,064, into an other borough to return one. Finding that llitylebone, Nacres and Lambeth bad to much Mortised to population since 1851, as very nearly to reach at the present time 200,000 each, he would divide each of the.. wishes Into two boroughs, with two members to mob. They misfit readily be divided acoording to their wee* into Pancras, north and mouth; Marylebons, east and west; Lem beth, north sad south. Them alterations would give 26 boroughs, with 44 members ; add to which the four mugs= for the City, and four for the large care rEaTtperishes, the total would be 81 constituandee, with a presentativee—• umber certainly not too large, con sider the =OM= population, the vast wealth, and the varied I=weeM of the metropolis. Mr. Bit then proposed a specific resolution for the adoption of the @theme by the com mittee, =doh, with a alight modification suggested by Mr. Beal, was weed, and Mr. Bit was again complimented on the labour he had devoted to the subject. Oa the mellen of Mr. Hsu., rupported by Mr. Cox, M.l'., it wee resolved—" That this committee, after • careful molysle of the statistke of population, pro perty, inhabited hemsee, sad rateability in reference to the existing metropolitan constituencies are prepared to urge their claims to at least 30 additional members, representing coostithencies subdivided in the manner pro posed. That besides such thirty additional members, this committee is of opinion that the outlying metropolitan Ira - Ashes not at present Mantled is any =rough are entitled to four representatives." Upon the motion of Mr. WZSTEILTON, supported by Mr. BONTEIIi, it was then resolved, "That • copy of the fore going resolutions be forwarded by the naretary to the Prime Wonder and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to Mr. John Bright, M.P., and to Lord John Rowell, MP.; and that the secretary be requested to apply to the Earl of Derby, soli. citing an appointment for a deputation from the committee to welt upon hie lordship, i for the purpose of submittieg state ments and oonsiderations n support of the resolution' .'

A large public meeting was held here last night, convened by the Mayor, in compliance with a requisition " for the purpose of exprtesing its sentiments on the aubjeci of Parliamentary Reform.' , About 2,000 persons were tee seat, and the chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Reaps, la the abeenm of the Mayor. Among the bitten of apology from persons invited to attend were communications from Sir Maurice Berkeley, late M.P. for Gloucester, and Sir R. Carden, one of the sitting members. The former said that as he was neither an elector nor an Inhabitant of Gloucester, and as he no longer repro- Panted the city in parliament, he had no right to attend the meeting, and therefore he declined the invitation; but he would be plain with them u to his opi nion on the anl.ject they were met to consider. He was opposed to unlearnt roffrage and equal electoral dis tricts, and he adhered firmly to the propene constitution of Crown, Lord., and Commons, and would not lend himself to undermine the one or the other, but he would have the honest voter protected by the ballot. (Cheerm.) lie added that "it was worse than melees to punish the voter, while these who tempted him were permitted to creeps." Sir R. Carden excreted Dime& on the ground of inability to leave London. He said he had been returned for Gloucester at the heed of the poll at the last election on con wreathe principles; but in advocating those pincipke be never considered he was debarred from advocating M0R11137011 of real progress. He was prepared to give his best secedes to any proposal for altering the present state of thing', and would support any alteration calculated to effect solid Im provement. Mr. Odes, berries; of the Oxford circuit, wheat some length in moving the first resolution es follows : " That the additional intelligence of the age and the ineremeed deve lopment of the resources of the country mines the pegging of the Reform Bill of 1832 imperatively demand an extension of the franchise and a re-distribution of seats in the Ileums of Common*" Mr. Jattrau 81110N8, her Majesty's Impactor of schools, seconded the resolution. He objected to the quad destine of property and rating (as proposed by Mr. Bright), sad advocated an extension of the franchise to the intelligence of the utile. He especially supported an education fran chise, and besides giving it to the learned potassium, dee., be would confer it upon every roan (not a convicted felon) who parsed an examination in reading, writing, and the Scat four rules of arithmetic. Mr. Po wt tr., banister, of the Oxford circuit, supported the resolution, end maintained that working men gene rally were sufficiently educated to be competent to vote. Mr. °awns, who described himself as a working man, moved the following amendment .—" That this meeting Is of opinion that, in order to do justice to ell parties, the forthcoming measure of reform ought to be based on the prin• ciples of household suffrage, vote by ballot, equal electoral dishier', and triennial parilarosora." (Loud cheep.) Mr. iffinuiran, another working man, seconded the recto. letion. - . •-••— Tee CPI itIIMAN declared the original resolution to be curried. _ _ _ Mr. R. H.

Mr. Crastilar Thee. ASHWORTH WWI CAW upon to preside. The CHAIRMAN said the time had arrived when all ad mitted the asperity of an extension of the franchise; the only garret was, as to the amount of that ealensice. It we in meetior of that kind that they would be able to arrive at • satisfactory conebasion. Moot of them would have reed the speech of all speeches by Mr. Bright, which appeared la the papers of that mambas. Nene would now be afraid of his revolutionary spirit. Mr. Alderman LIN oar moved the following resolution . ..That this meeting deems it desirable, at the present stage of the reform movement, to re.aalree the right of every re passible citizen to a vows in the government of his county ; mad it declares that no meanue for the amendment of re repromatation will be satisfactory which does not provide, by a large extetudon of the franchise, the adoption of the bal l* and a re-dletribution of members to population, so aa to rands a dear majority of the male adult population of the Baited Klagdom."

Mr. Ellice, M.P. for the St. Andrews District of i s lz a h: In the address C ed ounty there. Ms COMatituests In Cow on Monday Hall Provost 1100•1711 orcupled the chair, and brit By Intro duced Mr. Elite.. Mr. Bates, having spoken at some length on the cern perstitre merits of Lord Palmerston's sad Lord Derby's gonsreiroents, the India Bill, end other topics, same to the velum question. Cu this subject he observed—l must say that of all the propositions that I have men, Lord John Ramer. Bill of 1834seerns to comenearest the mark. There ere various propositions in it which I cannot epproes of ; but as regards the frenchlee, It atoms to me that en absolute towerie. of the franchise from 101. toe certain other amount would be the grapiest, most intelligible, and by far the most satisfactory mode of dealing with the question. Well then, we come to the system of representation, or the redistribution of seats; and as to this Mr. Bright leaves us entirely in doubt. I have searched through all his statements, and I see that he has specially avoided entering into detail es to what he cells the redistribution of sesta. Both Mr. Bright and Mr. Roebuck especially repudiate equal electoral districts, which were at one time the great demand of the ultra reform party in England; but there can be no doubt shoat one thing which affects ourselves. If the views of this pert are to be thoroughly carried out, these districts of burgba must give op all hope of again returning a member. I em one of those who think that the system of grouping dtf ferent burghs together for the purpose of electing repreeenta lives to parliament is one of the moot valuable things in our system of representation, end seems to me to prevent in Scotland altogether that corruption which is coast...llqm cursing_ in burghs in England; and we know that in both Lord John Russell's bills it was proposed that this very system which has worked so well in Scotland should be adopted to England. Looking to the elections in Eng lea end Scotland for many years past, you will see that • degree of purity pervades our representation in Scot land which that in England cannot portably lay claim to. Well, in the cry of Judea to Scotland, en increase of members to Scotland Is asked for. Now, I have no objection whatever to an Increase of members in Scotland. I should be bound, on the contrary, to support such a propo sition. But I think that it would be fax better to decrease the number of members for England than to Increase the number for Scotland, and no to reduce that disparity which is complained of between the two countries. In Lord Grey's first Reform Bill of 1830, it was proposed to reduce the number of members of the House of Commons ; and I em I quite sure the House of Commons would work • great deal better If it had 100 members less. I think such an arrange mane would rid no of much difficulty in reference to the new Reform Bill. After all we have to look to what it Is peace liable to do. It is all very well to talk of the propriety of having a larger lumber of members for Scotland. It is all very well to discus the rating franchise, or even universal suffrage, but we have got to eensider upon what tame& com promise ma be made between MI parties, so aa to secure some satisfactory manure based upon the principles of progroseive reform. If any violent change Is proposed, my opinion is that It will entirely frustrate the object we all have In view. and I cannot myself conceive any course that Is likely to prove more injurious to the cause of reform than the violent course which Mr. Bright Is taking in his dvocaey of the question. I am quite sore of this, that where he bu *averted one, he has probably cast away from him tweety ether people who have been frightened at the changes which he proposes. I myself am perfectly certain that when a dis solution occurts, if it takes place on the reform question, you will find that the cause of reform has been greatly injured by the muses taken by Mr. Bright. We have a difficulty to contend against, and there never wee a period at which the country had this difficulty more prominently than at the present asomeat. It is that we ere in want of good legis lators. (Hear, hear.) We know oar liberal party is broken up—the tory party b weak; bat why la the - one broken up, and why is the other weak P It is that we have not yet • sufficient number of competent people for the purpose of administration in the Howe of Commons. There is your independent party, as they call themselves, who met in ens of the committer rooms of the House of Commons last year, whose chief complaint VOA that the wigs govern ment of the country wee exclusive. I grant that. There have been the old names backwards and forwards, but why was Ws so P Just because they were people who hed been brought up to the work and probation of govenment, and that there was a deficiency of people in the house competent to perform these duties. I sea not speaking in favour of one party or another. I want to show on p h :: ill off we ere for legislators. Take those hundred dent members who were inveighing against the ex clusiveness of cabinets. I went over the list of names, sad there was not one amongst them who, if he had been named to an important cabinet office, would have been approved of by dime who were associated with him, even if, which I doubt, he considered himself fit for it. The foot is, that the Reform Bill of 1832 has not produced that talent to the House of Commons we expected, and which we had e right to expect. A popular constitneecy don't like to take • young man—a bedbug come out into the world, of whom it has DO experience. It likes to return somebody of staid character, who understands its local aides, and can attend to them—who is a man of experience, an far es they know, in business. But that is the very man who, un derstanding their bustuess, and being the best pos sible person to represent their particular !Literate, is the most unfitted to conduct the public but sass in the House of Commune. Statecraft is like say other craft, it requires to be learned. Put a ID= at the age of sixty, who has been in badness in the country all his life—put him in London in any office connected with the is jest read to niy talive, you kt about what locality t yane l iM e 1. 1 2 I F 6 b * h well-to-do ansintt of w i a : n g . about that— ' I sea t . 411 a ore : a " ! fifty years of age, end pu and bun headlong into an u seably of critics, the most acute that the world ever saw, with reefing* alive to everything Indicroaa. The men gW up. lie makes an attempt at a speech, end is laughed at. He perhaps leava out an . 0 b," and a shout of derision eons through the house dangly. Down he its, and his mouth is closed for ever." (Laughter.) That seasuate in a great measure for what you must have all remarked, that you are not represented la a way to give you the weight you ought to have. The wealth, the Industry, the titanium* the acuteness., of the north—ere they to be found In your rspeseentatives in the Hoses of Contacas P No. Does Lases, that great mart of the whole world, sad members • who are an hamar to the House of Commons? I say no. Well, then, I ask, what can you possibly expert from a reformed House of Commons if you do not prepare men to go into that home capable of die oltarglag their duty as your representatives P Now, it is • memdtable fact, brit there can bs no doubt about it, that the istarm Bill has to a certain extent operated in the way deperibed by Mr. Roebuck—that it has returned members to pallement, highly respectable and excellent people for the papal* of the locality which they represent. I will take the two great cities of Scotland—l will take Edinburgh and Glasgow. Edinburgh and Glasgow send excellent men to parliament for their own I don't know any of mom honourable standing the representatives of thae two cities—but who would me dream of putting any of these four members into the cabinet of this country P The House of Commons would not stand ft. They themaelves would be the first to refuse it knowing that they would be perfectly untried for it. Well, now, there is a great difficulty, and you will stare at me when I say that we want in the present Home of Commons something ra as betitote for the old rotten burgh of :hie country. The rotten burghs in the old times were then:matte of bringing into notice young men who were the greatest honour and the greatest al i t to this country, some of the beet statesmen, it had been elp who probably near would have been able to come into lament under the presen t system of free representation. Now, seeing Mr. Roetaelee remarks, and looking back, here are four of the greatest statesmen that have ever been In this country. I will take two of the greatest lawyers sad two of the greatest etataimen, not of our time, biat of the last gemeation—Thowlow and Eldon— two of the greatest kwyere who ever existed in this world, greet tenements to their country, great tales, I am wry to may, but who in their sphere, irreepeenve of political views, conducted the affairs of this eaanny with pendants and sagsoity. I take also two illustrious Maim men—Pitt and Pox. Weil, these two great !mires and theme two great esteem= MY into parliament new boroughs. r ant: rewired 10 tether Pitt had tried popular ocaatintimoy aad fatisd, and upon that failure he had beat nominated at eats to Appleby by Lord Lowther. I say, therekre, it le very desirable wr should by some mew or another secure a batter opening for youthful talent in the Howe ciCommons. Ha young man, unlmown end untried, gees down to Edinburgh or Gliagow, it would be out of remota to expect that either of there great cities should take a of whom they know little, and of whose Mira have bad no experientie whatever, and you might by this lose the = opportanity of seeding to parliament is who like Pitt sad Pox, - would become pillers of the I Ildsk yoa namt, In way reform bill that comes forward, provide that a certain number of toe subordinates of government should be enabled to sit In parliament without being elated members at all.. Ido not mesa to eve them the right of voting. I want to eve them the means of showing what they are worth, and this is the only point where I would copy American inetitutions-- the right of speaking and giving explanations of public mattes. I think by this means we might improve the character of our Resistive. The safety and prosperity of thin country seem to me greatly to depend upon the active Interest tette by the upper and middleclasses in the management of its affairs. Acting upon the principle of keeping pace in legislation with the constantly preventing intelli gence of the people, I desire to emend in a popular sail the Reform Bill of 1832, clearing away its abuses, remedying its defects, and enlarging the basis of our representative system ; but I will p o rch aaa no popularity by undertaking to sapptet ' measures tending to discourage or over- rule those dames in the active performance of their duties to their country. I will be no party to legislating in the sense indicated by Mr. Bright, neither will I countenance what Mr. Roebuck looks forward to as the effect of the reform he advocotes—the swamping of the landed ariatocracy. If you differ from me in these views—l do not believe you do—you must trod some one oleo to represent your opinions. That may lead to a severance of our long political connexion; but I shall have noright to complain. I shall look back with pride and gra titude to the peat; and take my leave with a sincere prayer for the prosperity of these burghs, and the welfare of all ' those who, for so many yeses, bave extended to me their friendship and support. (Loud oheore.) CITY OP LONDON LTINGIN HOSTITAL.—This valuable charity instituted in 1760, held its annual general court yesterday In the board-room of the hospital, City-road, W. Simpson, Esq., 1.P., in the chair. From the report read by Mr. F. Dineley, the secretary, and unanimously adopted, it appeared that 484 women were admitted u patients. The receipts including • loan of 1001. from the bankers, had been 1,9381. Rs. Id., and the expenditure 1,9171. 19a. 84., leaving a balance at the bankers' of 211. es. ed., but the loan of 1001. was still due to the bankers. The board wag pro ceeding with the appeal to the public for the Samaritan Fund' The hospital and t.O patients were, according to the medical otters, reported to be in • satidactory stare. The °Mom for the wads( year having been re-elected, the proceedings isembelsel fa the wail master. — THE DITITRIBUTION OP OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS.— ' Some time sines the Treasury ordered that the practice of sending parliensentary papers and other official documents should be discontinued, and that they ahonid be sold instead at a low prim. Many medical men protested against this; they mud gratuitous contributions to the Registrar-General, and they expect the weekly and quarterly returns tpa tuitously as before. Ina minute dated November 19, 1858, the Treasury thus defend the new practice:—" This prin ciple of distribution was adopted, not only as a measure of economy but oleo as= arrangement for the disposal of the works with the greatest possible amount of public benefit. No person who molly wishes to have a particular Uncial publication will be deterred from obtaining it by the very moderate price fixed upon it. For Matinee, the reports of the Begistrar-Genasi, which meths subjects of this corre spondence, are sold— the weakly at 10., and the quarterly at 411. At the same time, even this email payment furnishes $ security that the reports will be rained and made used, is which entirely wanting while they may be had for the trouble of asking, or they ere sent, is id frequently the cue, without their being asked for. The waste of time and labour of public officers in determining what individuate, societies, or isatitutiona aro to have donations of printed popes., and in answering the numerous applications and inquiries on the subject, is also not undeserving of attention. The alternative arrangement is a aelf-acting proms, by which the object is attained with the greatest practical economy of time and mosey. It will be obvious that if the principle of tale at a low fixed price be adopted, it must he uniformly applied for the reasons which are urged for • • gratuitous distribution are of so uniform a kind, that if a etoneenelon be made in any quarter the entire system is likely to he Moles down, from the Im passibility of drawing • line between different classes of cares." COMMITMENTS BY COUNTY COURTS.—A CYO wig decided at the Brampton County Court on Tuesday (sent by Mr. Justice Wightman) which involved an important gum- Boa ea to commitments by County Courts after • discharge by the Insolvent Debtor. Court, and the decision given will probably set the matter at rest. An insolvent named Wood was discharged under the act on the 18th ult., and on the 10th inst. was committed on a warrant of the Brempton County Court obtained in November. An application was made to Mr. Commiasioner Murphy for the discharge on the ground that the debt was inserted in the ticherluliZ and the creditor nerved with notice. The learned commissioner was of opinion that he had no power to interfere as tke insolvent had been discharged, but bad the cue been sub jodir• he should have granted the application. Meson,. Lewis and Sons, the itaolvent's attorneys, then applied to Mr. Justice Wightman, upon the authority of the case of " Cookman v. Roan" reported in the "Jurist" of the 12th Septembev, 1867, and his lordship engrossed an opinion that Wood we. mulled to his discharge, and directed an applicstion to be made to the County Court Judge who had ordered the com mitment. An application was accordingly made, and a spe cial court appointed at Brampton on Tuesday, where the learned judge was attended by the creditor, Mr. Britain, and the attorney for Wood, and made an order for the discharge. This is the first decision of the kind, and its publicity will in all probability prevent a eminence of the commitments by County Court Judges. FIRE AT THE LIVERPOOL BLIPE-COAT HOSPITAL. --Considerable alarm was caused at the Blue-coat Hospital, Liverpool, shortly after one o'clock yesteeday afternoon, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire in the laundry. The laundrymaid and several of the children were in the room at the time, which is at the south end of the building, in College-lane, and was erected about siatten years ago. A quantity of clothes were bring dried in the stove, which was heated to about the usuA temperature, when it wan observed that the shirts on some of the t' maidens" were on tire, and the names spread with alarming rapidity, causing great consternation amongst the children in that part of the promisee. On the alarm being given, the officers and servants of the inetitution, with praiseweethy alacrity, commenced throwing the clothes and bedding out of the dormitories immediately above the seat of the fire, until driven out by the rapid progress of the flames, which threatened to destroy the whole of that wing of the building. Information was conveyed to the Central Fire Station, Hatton-garden, end Mr. Hewitt, thesuperiutendent, with a detachment of the fire bri gad e, hoer , . and reel., were epeedily en the spot, and there being an ample supply of water in the tosisis,micceeded in reventiog the d dimes spread ing from the oempariment of the building in which it originated. At half-past two o'clock all danger was over, but the laundry, wishing-room, and dormitory above 'Reared to be gutted. Had the fire broken out in the night-time oho consequences would have been most disastrous, for thirty-two children slept imme diately above the spot where the fire broke oat. The laundry-maid was slightly injured about the face and arms in attempting to drag out some of the clothes maidens when the ileum were first notioed. Intelligence of the conflagration rapidly spread , and a large crowd assembled on the spot. Amongst there who were promptly_in the in stitution we noticed Die worship the Mayor (W. Preston, Req.), Alderman Bennett Alderman ra y ne,oun cillor Messrs. Tor e , Langton, and m other gen tlemen. The darner' is roughly animated at between 30Qt. sad 4001., which we understand is covered by insurance. Only lest week the 160th waivers/ay of the establishment of the hospital was celebrated, and several of the decorations used on that occasion were visible in that pinion of the building partially destroyed.
