In accordance with precious announcement, West misstep Abbey was opened yesterday evening, for the drat time in its history, fur evening service; and so far as nuns bees are concerned, what the dean had spoken of as "pro visional and experimental," pn.ved highly satisfactory in the inauguration. Seven o'clock being the hour dud for com mencing the service, as early as six o'clock a large number of persons had assembled at the entrance where the congrega tion were to bo admitted, namely, that adjacent to Westmin ster School and the end of Victoria-street, and half an hoar after not lees than 2,000 persons were waiting for admission outside the iron gate. The Abbey bell commenced tolling for the servios about half-paatsix; but, unfortunately, the people were not admitted till about ten minutes later, and the revisit sae that many persons, the females and a few children especially, experienced a vary inconvenient degree of pressure from the multitude in the rear. The behaviour of all, however, was excellent, and the few policemen present had little difficulty in restoring order and preventing any casualty. On entering the nave, which had been set apart for the service, one could riot help admiring the spectacle presented. The vast space was lighted by two rows of gas lights, provided expressly for the services to be inaugurated, no such al,xtern invention having previously been witnessed within the Abbey walls. Each row comprised eight branches, and each branch seem bursars, two of the §eanclues bmiiktifialt _shut halals la scr.ition, and the result we that the whole of the nave,freet sib to side, and from the door to the roof, was illuminated, the light being such as to exhibit in bold and imposing , relief the monumental sculptures, rich in national associations, which adorn the surrounding walls. The pulpit was placed in the centre of the nave, about twenty yards from the choir, and the interval between these wee partly occupied by the choristers and the clergy In attendance. Of the latter, five or six were present, including thou who took ;art in the service; the choir was of the full ordinary strength. The seats provided fur the congregation consisted of chairs, the property of the Crystal Palace Company, u wee obvious from the mark upon them : they were all im mediately occupied. Every part of the nave was filled, several hundreds of persons being compelled to stand ; and there were probably in all upwards of three thousand people assembled. If dress Is a reliable criterion, the congregation was composed to a very large extent of the middle classes ; but there was a considerable mixture here and there of persona who manifestly belonged to the working classes, and that many of these were not habitual church goers wee inferred from their general demeanour, as well as from the fact that they were not supplied with a prayer book. There wee a considerable proportion of poor females, but on the whole the females were in a minority. All present behaved throughout with the greatest decorum, large num bers reverentially, and happily the presence of the choir did not in any degree prevent the congregation from joining un restrainedly and heartily is the chaunts and choral portions of ths ceremony. Divine service commenced at seven o'clock. Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Hayden. The scripture lemons were read by the Hon. and Itev. Lord John 1 hynne, the eub•Dean, with a voicegf such power and downer that it most have been audible to nearly every one. At the °oc clusion of the prayers the 100th Psalm, new version, was sung by the choir and the congregation, the tune being the Old Hundredth, and the first vine the well-known words—. " With one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices relies, Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And slag belore him songs of praise." - - The sermon was preached by the Dean of Westminster, who, after ascending the pulpit, cast a scrutinising glance around the vast congregation before him, probably with the view of ascertaining what proportion of his hearers belonged to those for whose benefit the service sou chiedy designed. The rev. gentleman selected his text from the 13th chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, the 6th and following verses .—" He epake also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard ; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, thew three years I come seeking fruit on this dg tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the grattnd P Aod he anewering said unto him, Lord, Ist it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it ; and if it bear fruit, ' well, and if not, then after that thou ' shalt cut It down.' The bands of the great clock of time (observed the preacher) crept swiftly yet silently onward, with their stealthy march of minutes and hones, and days and months; they meanwhile remaining al most unconacioua of their lees ; and yet there were seasons when the great clock of time struck sadly and loudly on their ears, end when the careless could scarcely fail to give heed to those chimes. Sorb a moment was the present, the conclusion of an old year, the beginning of a new. A little while ago they saw the year which was gone; it had now joined the irrevocable past, and the time that remained was not merely short, it was manifestly shorter than it was. If they were Christ's ' now was their salv a ti on nester than when they believed ; if they were not Christ's, their dreadful doom was nearer than at any previous moment it had been. Let them not seek to suppress such thoughts-- wholesome, serious, awful thoughts—which as they stood at the threshold of a new year were so naturally suggested to their minds. It was, indeed, the high privilege of man to look both backward and forward ; backward into the life which be had lived, and forward into the life which re mained to him, either here or in some other scene of exist ence. He should ask them to do both on that first Sunday of a new year, when they were, under no common circum stances, gathered in the house of God, and be should and occasion for both in a plain exposition of the parable of the barren fig-tree. After asking the congregation to unite with him silently, before he proceeded, in praying to God that He would bles the work which was being commenced, the rev. gentleman proceeded to unfold the parable of the text. That parable was, he remarked, intended by Christ as an earnest summons to repentance. The church waa God's garden, and they were trees planted therein. They had not grown up in the wilderness of heathendom ; they had not been left to themselves, to walk in their own ways, and to bring forth the bad and bitter fruits which fallen and corrupt human nature never failed to pro duce. God had hedged them round with gracious ordiniusces, and there was not one amongst them—the most uncared-for and neglected present that evening—not one of those who crowded our alleys, and lane., and courts, who had net had opportunities of knowing the will of God, and helps for thong it, which he would never have had if he had not bum born in a Christian land. God had, therefore, a right to eveet fruit from every one of them. And yet bow often did He come larking fruit on the fig tree and find WOO— so good fruit, that was; of evil and bitter fruit there was more than enough. He had come seeking fruit, sad had found leaves, perhaps, the leaves of an empty sad hypo:witted proteseks, lip homage which would not satiety the Almighty. In many cases leaves and fruit were alike wasting. It might be that some present that night did not make even an outward show and semblance of serving God, and of rendering to Him a retare for all that He had dose for them. He looked for " the fruits of the spirit," and he found " the works of the Beals." What were the " three years" of the fig tree's banesasse compared with the many years of unprothableness with which God might re- I preach many of them I To how many among them might He my, " Behold them twenty yam," or " these forty years,' or " them fifty years come I esektm fruit from this tom and find nose. I sum to him la his childhood, and that was given to vanity ; I came to him in youth, and said to Id eon, give me thine heart when as yet thou haat not getsred upon thy soul thole darker and deeper stains from which my grace may preserve thee,' but he did not hem em ; childhood was given to vanity, youth to youthful lusts. I cease to him in full age and asked for the slid strength of his days, but this appeal also Ina in vain ; and after that the elan of manhood were exchanged for those of old age." What wonder, then, that it was said of the tree thus barren, " Why cumbereth it the ground P" " Why should it mischief the ground 1' was the true render ing of the original. The barren tree shed a baneful shade around it. Would any person to whom the metaphor ap plied deny the justice of this charge, and say that be was no main enemy but his own ? Would he say that who occa pied badly the place that another might occupy well; or he who by uttering worldly, ungodly maxims , lowered the standard of right in the company hi which he mixed; or he who stood in the way of his Wars or child's con hindering the blame of God's from reac i ltingT i l them God'omdgmeritooncerningall was tbatthey • cumbered," that esa,miscbiefed the ground. It ems owing to " the dresser of the vineyard" that the seaterme " out it down" wee not immediately executed. The Lord Jesse Chris an t, who woe !s -hy the dresser, stood in the gap as intercessor. Ma ndea leteded that the tree might be spend a little longer; and haying finished Hie work on earth, Hs continued, or rather applied, it In hems where He appeared before the Father se the inereneseer tar nem There were three Same brought balm them In the tat-{he first was the marvel lons long sash, of God la sparing them after many years of sin ; the seemed WWI that it was to Christ, to His smile and lateresesies t that they owed it that they Wife 'pared • the third was that the time would ar rive wire ems Ids would plead for the impatient sham m The rev. gent amen then enlarged es them N a as awl Ira • thee practical applamiles et In TANI. am I I Om lIIIIms. iin-r7torsetlik .

Christ gave it as a token of His king om that in it the Gospel was preached to the poor. There see some of these poor here present. Would that they were soy times more timaerous! Let me say, in my own name, mad be the name of my brethren (the clergy, generally, of dr rimy, r was understood), a word to them. It is this , . Others we cannot hinder from coming hero, but it is you that we bed chiefly in our eyes when this service was deslgoted. The fact that you are humble, that yau an poor, it may be meanly clad, only makes you the more welcome to us. Tell your friends and neighbours the same; bring them with you here. Bring not those that are church-goers already, for there Is little gain in this, but bring, if you can, the ignorant, the caroler, and the profane. And to you who are the richer members of this congregation, I would say, too, justify your presence ken by seeking at least to bring some others who would not be In any house of God unless you had invited and drawn them hither. To the poor, again, I sty, you sometimes com plain that the rich shut 7ou out from the churches. If only you would come hither m such numbers as to abut out them from the evening services of this Abbey, we should only be the better pleased, and should thank God that the purpose for which these services were commenced, namely, the preaching of the gospel to the poor, was in the an of being fulfilled." The rev. gentleman then pronounced the benediction, and the congregation Immediately afterwards dispersed in the most orderly manner. As regards the sermon It must be added that, though the preacher—whose delivery in the pulpit, by the way, bears a marked resemblance to that of the Bishop of Oxford—mani festly exerted himself very much in order that his voioe e t reach all assembled, the effect was unhappily a failure Into a vary low owilbso ; wood poroosoja the e nave who were afterwards questioned on the subject, and who were far from occupying the most remote spots, declaring that they could hear only a few unconnected words. The explanation of this is that, besides being natu rally of inadequate strength for such a task, the voice of the preacher was pitched in too low • key for the sounds to penetrate so veal • space. There was one drawback which is perhaps inseparable tram an evening service in the naveof the abbey, namely, a very in convenient degree of cold, but there were occasional draughts which may possibly admit of a remedy. If anything can be dine in this matter it ought not to be neglected, es the cold was so great that some persons were driven to the expedient of covering their heads with their pocket-handkerchiefs, and numbers enveloped their heads as muck as poedble with their coats. The sermon occupied forty minutes in delivery, and the entire service lasted an hour end three quarters. PROFESSOR P4E4D4FB LECTURES AT 2EE ROYAL INSTITUTION. On Saturday Profemor Faraday delivered the third lecture of his course on electricity at the Royal Institution. Among the company present were M. is Dna d'Auoisle, M. le Prince de Condi, K. le Comte de Paris, M. le Due de Chartres, with M. Is Dottier de Massy, the physician of the Orleans family; Sir Benjamin Brodie, Bart., ; Sir C. Fellows, F.S.A. ; the Rev. Dr. Whewell, F.R.S., Him Royal Highness the Prince of Wales (attended by Mr. F. W. Gibbs, Dr. Becker, and Lieut.• Colonel Cavendish) took the chair at three o'clock. The conduction of electricity, with the application of that property to the protection of buildings from lightning, were the branches of the subject to which the lecture was devoted. Before illustrating the power which different bodies possess of conducting elec tricity, Professor Faraday performed some experiments, to show the varied powers of bodies in the conduction of beat. For this purpose he employed three small cylinders of exactly the same awn one of them being made of wood, another of iron, and the third of copper, on the top of each of which was placed a piece of phosphorus, and they were all then put upon the top of a vessel containing hot water. The relative conducting powers of the different substances wee manifested by the time occupied in the conduction of the heat through them to influence the phosphorus. The phos phorus on the top of the copper cylinder was first set on fire, next that on the iron ' wh ils t the phosphorus upon the top of the wood remained unaffected by the heat. The property of conduction, which ia thus slowly manifested by heat, is instantaneous in the conduction of elec tricity ; and for the purpose of proving the diffe rent powers of conducting electricity which various bodies possess, Professor Faraday connected en insulated brass cylinder to which a charge of electricity was communi cated with the electrometer, first with a fins wire thread, and afterwards with silk. In the first instance, the gold leaves of the instrument instantly diverged ; but, when the silk was used as a connexion, the electrometer gave no indica tion of electricity. This important feet of the differing powers of bodiesio conducting electricity, thoughit is essen tial to the production of electrical phenomena, remained un known for ages after the properties of electricity had been studied. The manifestation of electricity, indeed, entirely depends on the imperfect conduction of electric.; and, to prove that even tho metals may be converted into electric. when insulated, Professor Faraday placed a bran tube on a stick of pan percha, and then, taking hold of the projection gutta perch., he rubbed the metal with flannel, and thus excited electricity se readily as if it had been a tube of glass. Though electricity passes slmost instantaneously _through seve ral hundred miles of wire, it nevathelese meets with great resistance to its transmission even through the best conductors. Of this anomalous fact an exemplification was given by sending the charge of a Leyden jar through a thin wire suspended to the ceiling of the lecture room, the two Inds of which were at one point of the circuit brought about the eighth of an inch apart from each other. When the charge of a Leyden jar wee sent through the wire, part of the chargepaseedacross the interveningerap, the resistance offered by the wire having been greater than that of the small space of air, which is a good insulator. Professor Faraday per formed an experiment illustrative of the insulating properties of carpets and oil-cloths, which may serve am a useful lesson to experimenters in electricity, showing how desirable it is to have a pod connexion with the earth. When standing on the ell-cloth of the lecture-room floor, and with one band in connexion with the electrical machine, sparks were emitted from the other hand of sufficient power to enable to ignite with his finger a jet of gam. On making connexion from his body to the gas pipes of the institution, so ma to establish good connexion with the earth, no indica tions of electricity were perceptible. This experiment also illustrated the importance of making • perfect connexion be tween lightning conductors and the earth, and Professor Faraday mentioned an instance of the effects of the want of izrk:ttention to this rule, which occurred at Eddystone use. The building was struck with lightning, and, protected with • lightning conductor, some damage ru l4 Pons to the lantern and other parts, in consequence, as was afterwards aeoertained, of the chain attained to the end of the conducting rod not having bean long enough to reach the water at low tide. The concluding experiment proved also that there Is danger in bringing conducting bodies that are connected with the earth into proximity to lightning con ductors. One end of • win that traversed along the floor of the lecture-room was brought near the conductor of the elec trical machine, and, when powerful sparks were sent through it, smaller sparks were obtained on applying a conductor close to any part of the wire, and in this manner • jet of gas was ein on fire.

Crossley, of Halifax, are just completing • new chimney In connexion with their works at Dean Clough, which will be of extraordinary dimensions and welabt, and will outstrip every other that has ever been built, even in Lancashire.

Eden, the commandant of thin garrison, received an order yesterday from the War-office, directing him to hold in readiness all the available nor, commissioned officers and men belonging to the three depot battalions to tnibark during the present month for India, for tho purpee of reinforcing the regiments now serving in the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay presidencies. The number of troops that can be furnished by this garrison is nearly 2,0(10, all equipped with the Enfold rifle. Upwards of 1,600 recruits enlisted during the part week for regiments serving in India; this number doe. not in clude the volunteers for the Royal Artillery or the East India Company's European troope—nearly 400 for the last named service having been enrolled during the same period. The steam-ship Prince Albert, with troops and MOM, sailed from Bt. Helena, for Bombay, on the 20th of November. RECRUlTlNG.—Recruiting is being conducted with considerable activity in Nottingham for the let Dragoon., Bth Hunan, 16th Lacers, 17th Lancer., 19th Foot, 34th Foot, 69th Foot, 82nd Foot, 91st Foot, 2nd Battalion a the Rifle Brigade, Grenadier Guards, and the Royal Marines. Recruits are sent off weekly to the depot. of the various re giments, and it Is very singular that during the present commercial gloom a leas number of men are enlisted than at the time when employment was not so scarce. Recruitiog is now proceeding in Norfolk for the sth, 9th, 10th, 67th, 77th, and 96th regiments, besides the Royal Artillery and the Coldstream Guards. The country lads are said to prefer a service in the militia—at any rate in the first instanee—to the more arduous engagements of the line. AUDIS 4k0.7? 271 E P.4UPEE LAJOVhEZB AT ills-Ili-v-1: SATURDAY An outbr ea k of a mos t alarming kind took p NIGHT. Iane here among th e pauper labourers between six and seven o'clock this evening. There are upwards of 1,000 man employed on the Moor, generally at the rate of a shilling a day. The work is excavation of 90t1113 hills for the corporation ; and it is called the " test " for the out-d.)or able-bodied paupers. Daring the crisis which has vialted the town it has been found impossible to employ the men more than half a day each, part of the number in the morning and the other pert in the afternoon ; but they have still received their slitting each. Lately, however, labour.masters have been appointed, and on Friday orders were given to enforce a full day's work, because a large class of paupers have found it profitable to attend upon the Moor two or three days fur the sake of the shilling, and then spend the remainder of the day in adven titious employment. Another end incurable class have found it an easy method of turning an honest ill shilling. The order of Friday was mast sternly resisted therefore, and the more violent of the labourers threatened death to those who were willing to comply. Some of the well disposed loft the ground through fear; and on that day the guardians did not deem it prudent to enforce the order, or reduce the pay at night. This evening, however (the men having only worked half-a-day, as usual), the relieving-officers at the buildings in Paul-street were in structed to pay thepartiee only half the allowance. The men were congregated in the yard and avenue to the number of 1,000, an a most violent commoti-m ensued. The leader of the dissffected paupers addressed the fellows in im passioned harangues, calling upon them to resist to the last, and have their full pay, "either one way or another." The guradisns who attempted to speak were Mimed, execrated, said denounced. The men declared that it was an attempt to starve them to death. A riot being apprehended, the civil authorities were applied to. The mayor (Mr. .1 Humber), Mr. Dodd (the justices' clerk), Mr. Gibbons the superintendent of police, and about a score of constables, attended at the place; but all efforts to restore quietness were useless. The paupers, in violent language, proclaimed their determination to have their shilling. A suggestion to read the riot act was not carried one, and the orators pro ceeded with their appeals to their follows. A consultation then took place between the guardians and authorities, and some contended that the mutiny ought to be put down, and the order enforced ; others pointed out the danger in the then excited state of the men, and also the fact there were some grounds for the ometion, being that on:Sunday:(thefollow mg day) they would receive no pay at all. About eight o'clock the guardians gave way, and agreed to pay the pupate in full. Thus quietness was once more restored, and a riot avoided. Great excitement prevailed, and the paupers expressed their determination not to work more than half a day, and not submit to any reduction. The guardians pur pose to enforce their resolution this day (Monday), bat our correspondent feels apprehensive u to the result,—Liverpool .416101. NILITI.d RIOT AT BURNLEY. Between eight and nine o'clock on New Year's eve, a number of men belonging to the Dublin Militia, now lying in the Burnley barracks, commenced a disturbance in the town. We understand that it had been bounty day and they had spent a good deal of time in the beer-houses. Most of them were in a state of intoxication, and when they turned into the streets they became violent, attacking indiscrimi nately all who came within their reach. The picket, with the assistance of the police, got • number of them to the bar racks. Shortly after, the picket returned, and, dividing, vi sited several parts of the town. The more serious part of the disturbance then began. The conduct of the several divisions of the picket was of a much more violent character than that of the men who had been taken to the barracks. One of the windows in front of the Thorn Inn was completely smashed ; several penes in the wiadows of the market and smoking moms of the Bull Inn were broken. These windows front Market-street, and exhibited lights, and in many parts of the front streets where this was the case the windows were broken. One gentleman, who was sitting in the smoking room of the 801 l Inn, very narrowly escaped a thrust from the bayonet with which the window pane was broken. In Yorkshire-street, • young man, named Nutter Barritt, who was returning home with his father, about half-peat ten o'clock, was stabbed in the shoulder and hip. Another young man, a collier, in the employ of the Cliviger Coal Company, was wounded in several places in the heed, and between the thigh and body. During the disturbance in Yorkahire- street, Mr. John Berry, butcher, whose shop faces the entrance of the street, bad his front window completely smaahed. One of the inhabitants had taken refuge in his shop, and was followed by the militia, who drove their bayo nets into the door, and then broke the window. A man, whose name we could not learn, further than that be goes by the aliaa of " Toathree," was stabbed at the top of New Market-street. A considerable quantity of blood on the pavement marks the place. We have heard of several others having been wounded ; we do not lesru, however, that any of the wounds are dangerous. The picket returned to the barracks about eleven o'clock, but we understand that • considerable force turned out armed, about one o'clock in the morning, to fetch in stragglers. The town was much excited yesterday morning. The magistrates met at the Court-house, at eleven o'clock, on Friday forenoon, to deliberate upon the means to be adopted to prevent a recurrence of the disgraceful scenes of Thursday night. Captain Macdonald, the officer in com mand of the militia, was present. The reporter was not admitted, but we learn from good authority that the officer acknowledged that the men were mod unruly, end nearly unmanageable. Had it not been for the aseietance of Mr. Carsewell, the superintendent of police (whore conduct under the circumstances the captain highly extolled), and the force under him, it is highly probable that much more serious con sequences would have ensued. After the diegreoeful conduct of the militia in the town, from one to two hundred of the inhabitants, armed with bludgeons and other weapons, proceeded up Westgate, in the direction of the barrack', apparently bent cm attacking the militia. They were met by Mr. 0. Hansfeld, magis trate, Mr. Caramel!, and ethers, and dissuaded from their purpose. The bayonetting and stoashiogof windows wu much more extensive than wee at first supposed. Fifteen or sixteen persons appeared at the court-house, while the magistrates were sitting, who had boa more or less injured by the bayonet. One man was stabbed in the head and hand in Westgate ; after making his escape they pursued him, and when not able to come up with him they threw their bayo nets after him, one of which he secured. The conduct of the militia is described as perfectly wild ; they howled, struck their bayonets in the causeway, and one of them sharpened his bayonet on a door step, ce iling to his comrades to do the same, and give it to the English. A number of the militia have been injured, and, it is stated, will be handed over to • court-martial as soon as they are recovered. The men are to be °Wined to barracks.—Manchester Guardian. TEE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL COM PANY'S MAIL BMX-PACKETS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have pub lished their table of the movements of their packets for 1858. The table comprises seven mail packet lines, viz., the South ampton and Alexandrian, the Marseilles and Alexandrian, the Suez and Bombay, the Saes and Calcutta, the Bombay and China, the Hong Hong and Shanghai, and the Hong Kong and Manila lines. nit first mail from India under them arrangements will reach Suez on the Bth Met., Malta on the 14th inst., and London on the 19th inn. This mail will bring letters from Bombay to the 24th nit., and from Calcutta to the 16th ult. The next marl after this will be a Calcutta one, with news from that plan up to the 24th ult. It will be due at Suez on the 17th inst., at Malta on the 22nd inst., and in London on the 27th Inst. The mail to and from Calcutta rid Bombay is conveyed over land la eight days. A letter, therefore, for Calcutta ries Marseilles and Bombay, posted for instance on the 2nd Inst., would reach its destination on the 4th of February ; whereas If it were posted on the 4th inst., it would not be delivered before the 13th of February. The first mail under the new arrangements will reach Southampton on the 3rd proximo. Under the old arrangements, a mall from Calcutta is due at Suez to-morrow, and next Saturday a telegram may reach England from Malta with further news from India. The next mail will bring details of Sir Colin Camp bell's battles to relieve Lucknow. The Indus, with the heavy portion of the last India mail, is expected at South ampton on Wednesday. It ie understood that the Peninsular and Oriental Company have resolved upon establishing a weekly communication between Alexandria and South . . . smpton very shortly. According to the new ar rangements of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, . , this; is a fortnightly between Bombiy aid Hong Kong, end between Hong Kong end Shanghai ; but the packets only ran once a month on those lines under mail contract. The communication between Hong Kong and Manilla im s fortnightly me, and is performed niTider contract with the Spanish government. A DucTrr.—A few days previous to Christmas the owner of a splendid mansion, in a tillage in Gloucester shire, was awakened in the night from hie peaceful slumber by hearing some notes in the house. and, naturally assuming that robbers were at work, and feeling very valiant, deter mined to catch the thieves and recompense them for their nefarious doings ; he got up big with valour and partly dressed, arming himself with • sword and gun; he softly proceeded to that part of the mansion from which the sounds appeared to arise, and throwing open the door of the room, found to his dismay that there appeared little doubt of robbers being busily at work. In the room was • man, which the gallant squire felt certain was not one of his domestics; besides, he bad blackened his face. The gentleman brought hie gun to • level, determined to retch or lame the burglar but he poor fellow, dropped on his knees, and In pathetic accent!, begged for mercy, 'eying he was no thief, but an honest workman about his employment. It appe ared on inquiry, that in anticipation of Christmas it had - been determined so have the smoke-jack cleaned, and also that it should be dew after the f am ily had retired to rest ; the poor fellow was in the act of cleaning it when fumed by t h e master, who was not aware of the arrangement that had been made.

THE WELSH 1507 DISTRICTS. (11101( 0171 OWX CONAUTOXDIXT.) NEWPORT, JAN. 2. Throughout the whole of South Wales the iron and coal trades are at present in a most depressed and unsa tisfactory condition. The cessation of the American trade led to an almost entire suspension of business, and the felling off in the demand for home consumption further added to the embarriusment of ironmaaters. To prevent serious losses rages were reduced throughout Glaroorganahire, and the ee nous strike at Aberdare was the consequence. Two weeks ago a large number of the men returned to work, but daring this and the preceding week they have again struck, and refuse more obstinately than ever to ieturn to their furnaces and pita. On Christame-day large meetings were held for the purpose of inducing the Monmouthshire (*there to join in teh strike. In that county the men at all the works were under notice of a reduction of five per cent., in addi tion to • previous fifteen per cent,. to expire at the close of 1837 and this was deemed a suitable opportunity for spreading d isaffection among them. Unfortunately . these efforts snot:ceded. On Monday last the hands at the artqr, Pontypool, British, and Golynos works turned out, and held meetings, at which it was resolved to refuse the terms of the masters. This Mete of things continued up till Wednesday, when the colliers and furnace men attached to the British works at Abersychan had an interview with the manager and agreed to accept work at the re duced tonna. This example has been followed at Varteg, but at Pontypool the cos. still bold out, although there is every reason to hope that they will give way by Monday or Tuesday. At present about 3,000 men are on strike in Mon mouthshire, and from 8,000 to 9,000 at Aberdare. At the latter piece no hope* of a reconciliation are entertained at present. FIRE AT ROTHERHITIIII—DESTRUCTION OP GOVERNMENT BOATS AND OTHER PROPERTY. A very destructive fire happened yesterday (Sun day) morning, in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Thomp son, government ship boat builder, Honeferry-stairs, Mother 'tithe. The property in question stretched from the land aide to the edge of the river Thames, nearly 200 feet ; it was two etories high, nearly 60 feet ide, and contained not fewer than sixteen large boats, built for the British govern ment, and a great amount of ships' stores, whilst piles of timber were stored in the open yard. Adjoining this, on the south ride, stood the private residence of Captain Smith, the superintendent of the works, which was several floors high. Between those buildings was the thoroughfare leading to the Thames, termed the Honorary, and on the east side were the premises of Mr. George Marshall, shipowner and merchant, and within a few feet were the premises belong ing to Mr. G. Thomas, a shipwright. About two o'clock yesterday morning police-conatable No. 174 of the M division, whilaproceeding along hie beat, no ticed an unusual body of smoke proceeding from about the centre of the boat-building houses of Mr. Thompson. At that time no fire was perceptible ; bat the smoke hovering oolong over the roofs, convened him that the interior of the main building was in flames ; and, without delay, be gave an alarm, and sent off Lir the necessary attendance of engines and firemen belonging to the neighbourhood, but before even those situated within a mile on the land side, or the steam float at Rotherhithe had time to get on the way, the ere rushed forth from every window and loophole in Mr.Thomp aon's factory ; and by the time the engines arrived, pile after pile of timber and vessels, together with • dwelling-hones standing on the ground, became completely enveloped in lime. The firemen, under the personal directions of Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent; Mr. Henderson, the chief offic,..r of the D section ; Mr. Holloway, the engineer ; and Mr. Connorton, of the West of England Office, went to work , but the mains of the Kent Company not yielding any water, the gratings of the sewers were pulled up, and the hoes of the engines were dropped through the apertures, and by that expedient the land etgines were fed with water, whilst the two powerful steam floats kept pouring many thousand tons' weight of water per minute on the flame, ; but the fire could not be entirely extinguished for six hours. The origin of the Ore is not known. FIRE IN OLERKENWELL-GREEN.—On Saturday, about one o'clock, • tire broke out at No. 1, Clerkenweil green. The lower pert of the premiere is occupied by Mr. Tripp, oonrchandier, the upper being let to lodge's. On the third floor lived a man named Wilkins (who has recently been laid up with rheum* , ic fever), Mende and daughter, and his wile's mother, who is 83 years old, bedridden and blind. The Are originated among some hay in the beeemeot. In • few minutes the house was filled with volumes of smoke, and though several persons endeavoured to ascend the stairs they were driven back, and neither could the Wilkins's, who were almost suffocated, get down them. At last a ladder was procured, and while several peaces held it firtn, Mr. A. Smith, butcher, of Aylesbury-street, went up with a rope, sad succeeded In bringing dowse Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins and the daughter. The old woman still remained, but the flre-eacape from Rosoman.atreet coming opp at the moment, she was rescued in aefety. Mr. Smith, on aeecend ing, was loudly cheered. The parish and other engines, which arrived promptly, entingnithed theft* in a short time. Mr. Tripp was thawed in the Sun office.
