P., addressed his constituents in the large room of the new mill of Messrs. Kellen and Kemp, situate in Beillestmet. The hon. gen tleman was accompanied by Mr. G. Wilson and some other gentlemen from Maochester. On his entering the carriage of the mayor at Rochdale station the crowd collected there attempted to take the horses out, that men might draw the carriage, and they only refrained from carrying their inten tion into effect at the urgeat request of Mr. Cobden himself. Over the meeting Mr. J. IL Moony the mayor, presided ; ed on the platform were Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, M.P., Baxley, M.P., Meters. George Wilson, Henry Ashworth. Platt, the French Conant at Manchester, fie. The room was delimit' , crowded. About 4,000 people were meant. Mr. Cobden and those who accompanied him were loudly cheered on entering the room, the cheering being spin and again repeated. The CHAIRMAN briefly introduced Mr. Cobden to the meeting. Mr. CUBDES's rising was the signal for loud cheering. After it had subsided, the hon. gentleman, after a few pre liminary observations, said be had uo account of his labours in parliament to give them, as for the last eighteen months he had, while honoured with the confidence of his Sovereign and country, been seeking to form arrangements which would unite the countries of Franco and Englund in bomb of unity and peace. The French had not taken any steps until just now to liberate commove, but it had only tam the -uswarnsusst tae yews' to do that which took us thirty. Everything had been done in that country which could be done under the circum stances, but still much remained to be dune, and that be believed would be done shortly. The French were the most democratic nation under the sun, and whilst they were constantly producing things for the rich, aristocratic England was nearly on the other hand entirely engaged in producing articles for the consumption of the Domes Ho, therefore, urged that the treaty would be reciprocal. The people of England during the existence of the corn laws ate annually six million quarters of corn less than after the corn laws were abrogated. Just so would it be with the ill-clad people of France ; they would, by means of this treaty, be better clothed. He looked upon this treaty with France as the Seal stone of the pillar of free: trade. The honour was sit due to him, but to the present government and their peat Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Applause.) lie then went on to speak of the advantages of drinking French wines instead of port end sherry, and mid that since the treaty had been made a friend of his had looked over the drinking soap of England, and be found that in a past age they were nearly all in honour of French wines, but the drinking soap were now no longer so. His friend accounted for it in this way, that when the people drank the French wines they became merry, while when they drank port and sherry instead they grew stupid and went to sleep. (Laughter and applause.) He was not so sanguine as to the effect of this treaty as to suppose that a !great trade would spring up at once, but he was sure that ,our social and political relations with that country would, and must be firmer and more tnutworthy. He re pudiated the idea that France was contemplating an attack upon England, and they ought to pause before they be lieved the mentions of not over-wise admirals on that sub. int. He was glad to say that. Rockdale was the only town ia &gland that is public meeting amerubled had refined to establish a volunteer corps. lie was in France at the time, and he believed from what be there saw that the people of Rochdale were quite right. He bad been led to form this opinion from what he per sonally knew of the feeling et ?ranee towards Forglised. (Applause.) He firmly believed when the volunteer sage was going on in England as wet, that the French nation contemplated invading this coun try. As to the naval armaments of the two nations, be made an estimate that spring, and including the ten years preceding 1858 this country had, despite all the outcry of the people of England as to the navy of 'rano., spent half as much more then that country did. There had always been a sort of tacit understanding between the two coun tries that England should have a navy about double that of Friars. The fact was, that while England had spent on her navy half as much again as France, she had had an ad. vantage over that esaMtry of 29 per sent She Gould build her engines at 30 per cent. lees, while her coals and stores each cost her 20 per out. lees. What was the moon of all this expenditure, then? Why it was through the invasion panic and the admirable mis managemeut of the Admiralty. His friend Lord C. Paget, when speaking iu parliament in the spring of 1859 on the mismanagement of the Admiralty ( Lord C. rapt leis then out of office, they mast remember), alai gni be bad ' gone very caref idly through the ups& tun of the Admiralty daring the preseding years, and he hail discovered that 5,000,0001. steeling had been spent in that period on ships of WYE which were unaccounted fur. Now neither he nor Lord C. Paget meant to say that the Admiralty had absolutely pocketed the money—they were too hosed to do such a thing as that—but that they were unable to keep clear accounts, and bad spent that sum in making thiogs which were positively useless. In 1850 it was seen that the application of steam to ships of war was necessary, and that such ships would sn. pereede all the old sailing line-of -battle ships. Well, what did France do? Why, she at once began to apply steam to the new vesiiels she was building, and the old she had Milk but this example was only in part miowed b) Eagles/ Elbe knew es well as Francis the advantage of applying steam to her ships, but our Admiralty still continued to build sailing vessels after the plan of old, and thus money was foolishly and uselessly wasted. He then came to speak of five years LW, which included the Crimean war. A few mwesle had then been covered with iron plates, sad the French go. Tegument seeing the advantage of them built two ironiandi ships, one of which was celled Ls Gloire, air Admiralty since then had constantly been amusing thew selves at Shoeburyncas by getting Mr. Whitworth and Fir Wm. Armstrong to make cannon which would send shot through iron-plated ships. The people out of doors only could correct this state of things. The idea which hail been palmed off upon the public, that the French were building vessels to invade this country, was ridiculous, and he ventured, upon his conscience, to snort that no peaks delusion than that lad been panned upon a pisegis since the days of Titus Oates. Mr. Cobden slut alluded to the mismanagement of the Board of Public Wiwi* and quoted a speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone on the ameagement of the British Museum, in support of his of the management of that Ward. During lite time he was negotiating the treaty with FROM. be ride movement in this country was being carried 'on with the greatest vigour. The speeches delivered at eine of them meetings were of the most irritating kind. At one of them a Somersetahire fanner, on being asked. supposing the French were to invade England, what he would charge them fur his corn, replied that it would only be bought by them at the price of their blood. He did not believe—and he had as good an opportunity of judging as any man—that the French nation ever contemplated inn, ding this country. If he had ever believed it—if he had seen that France was creating a navy equal to ours—he should have been a traitor to his Queen and country if he had not denounced it with all his might. Before Frame should have a navy equal to ours, without reasons for having such, which she had not now, be would vote 100 millions sterling for the defence of our country. After giving the etatistica of the men and boys in each navy, and other facts connected therewith, the bon. gentleman went OR to speak of what he called the meat lamentable, the most deplorable civil strife which was now going on in America. He hoped our government would not interfere, and be deprecated our having sent 3,000 troops to Canada, since there was no prospect of an attack being made upon it by Americans, and since the act might eogender ill-feeling in the breasts of the Americana towards us.

Mr. Bloom, who was loudly cheered again and spin, then spoke in support of • resolution which had been moved and seconded, to the effect that the present expend;. tun of this country was proffigate, and demanded the im mediate attention of the legislature. With this object it was imperative that there should be granted a oompre. beasies measure of reform. He regretted that he had to say anything after Mr. Cobden's speech, for be doubted whether anything he could say would add to the public in toren that would be taken in the proceedings of that meet ing. He believed that by the treaty Mr. Cobden bad con ferred lasting honour upon himself, and immeasurable blueing op two of the gn►test nations of the earth Mr. Cobden and he (Mr. Bright) had been charged with Snipe; the sordid view only of every question which arose. But he thought it was a great idea to save • nation money, and • really great idea was worth • host of small ones. Tame were money taken from the pockets of the people. He aniembered some years since seeing • caricature of two or three overgrown footmen discussing the question of taxa tion. Thomas asked John what taxation was, but he was un able to answer the question, for the fact did not touch him. Taxes were a levy made upon the people by the government, for the purpose of preserving order, for the administration of jostles, and for the defence of the country; but if the government took 11. more than was necessary for all this, the people who paid it would not receive any beeefit from It. If the goverment took five minutes' worth of labour more than was necessary the goverment clearly pee no return for that which they took, and It did net act in • Mealy say tower* the gee.* but quite the lemma and spinet their beam**. Now, be could not help thinking that a government that took 70,000,0001. sterling annually from the people took too much. He remembered that some time ago a very distinguished military man in this country wrote to him, asking him to oppose the von on the navy and army estimates, and stated as his room for so doing, that the more money there was voted the pester would be its waste, the greater would be the con. fusion in the departments, and the less there would be of real defence of the country in case of need. In two lifetimes the national debt had grown from nothing to 840,000,0001., and our expenditure had grown in the gime period from 2,000,0001, to 70,000,0001. Well, he would undertake to say that no on who slid not wear • straitw•istcost, or who was outside of an asylum, would express his belief that for all this increased expenditure the masses of the country had pined one farthing. He was told that the people of Rochdale were greater reeders of English history than those of any other town, for he bad been told that • book canvasser had sold upwards of 500 copies of • history of England in Rochdale the coot of which would be 11. per copy ; and he would Teuton to say that after reading their his tory, when they got it, they would arrive at the conclusion he had mid all sane men must arrive at. He then went on to speak of the late Russian war, and the result which it had had on Turkey—a result which had contributed more to its injury than any other thing since it had been a nation. The Sultan he learnt was now dead, and there were those who feared that his death would be attended with disturbances in that country. Now, if diaturionoes should take place, then he hoped England would carry out her policy of non-intervention, and that not one bib of English treasure or • drop of English blood would be spent or spilled in defence of • satins that was doomed to decay as certainly as anything that was written in the Book of Fate. Mr. Bright then referred, in Fusin, to the volua tsar movement, which be somewhat ridiculed. Hs alleged that those who had raised the cry which brought shoat the movement were more to blame than ths men who bad bees induced to take part in it. Many old men, however. althea& they had been misled by their ereduloneoess, bad takes part in it from the beet and mod laudable of motives. Mr. Bright mooned his speech amid loud neon and the =Wag soon after separated. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. -....e.--.. Yesterday the Ilfty-flith anniversary festival of this excellent dimity yea held in the scud eistrel transept of the Crystal Palms; Mr. Buss, M.P. pnridini. Between two and thew thousand persons set doses to dinner, and • still greater number of spectator, were pre seat on the occasion. After the loyal toasts had been given and duly honoured, the children of the school were marched round the transept, and two of the senior boys delivered appropriate addressee. The CRALRYAN then proposed the tout of the evening, "Prosperity to the Licensed Victuallers School;" and in doing so Mad that it was for the orphan children who had just lamed round that he had to address them, and if he could plead for them with half the eloquence which their appearance must excite, he felt certain he would leave scarcely one shilling in their pockets. (Hear, hear.) There was no clam of men in the world who deserved so much praise for their benevolence and beneficence as the licensed victuallers of Loudon. (Cheers.) For three.quarten of • century they bed maintained adomicile and eanctuary for theh poor sod decayed brethren, for their widows, children, and orphans. He bad visited the schools that day, and he could assure them that the children looked upon the subscribers se their fathers end mothers. These poor children were pet in the way of earning an honest livelihood, =dame of them of enter* into, perhaps, a brilliant career. The society had of late been subject to • payment of 130/. for poor rate. It appeared that St. Mary, Limuheth, would have its pound at iteeh, but he trusted that the 000trihutions of that even. hog would amble the society to neat that expenditure. Within the last few years I,roo children were clothed, brought up, and educated hi the school ; and to 700 • sum of had been given on their leaving. The Morality Ad• vertu*, had contributed 6,700 f. of its profits to the support at the institution. He was sure there was not one amongst them who was not convinced of the value of the institution, and as the expenses of the last year were somewhat heavy, he called upon them to double their subscriptions. (Chars.) The tout having been drunk with all the boeours. The Cu.uasxx next pyrrooppooseesdd the toast of " Tb• House of Commons,"comsling therewith the names of LordFeesoo3 and Mr. Harvey Lewis, who were both present. The SECRETARY then read the list of submriptiomi, width amounted to 2,3001., including a donation of 100 gulasse from the chairman, 100 guineas from the firm of Bass and Co., 40 guineas from the other individual whims, sad 40 guineas acorn Mr. Baas, jun. The musical arrangements were conducted by Mr. Tedder, and Miss Rebecca Isaacs, Miss MlCemis, Mims Beans, Mien Craven, and Miss E. Spitler most efficiently carried out the vocal portion of the programme. Mr. Harker acted as inaelmaster. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The committee of the masons' society yesterday received a reply from the caused of the Society of Amin teas to their memorial sent to that body oa Monday last, offering to submit their ease to the arbitration of the coun cil. to their reply the council say they are willing to take epos themselves tbs responsibility of arbitrating on the question provided that both parties agree to refer to them, and he boned by their dahlia ; that they have communi cated with the mantes buikien, but have not as yet received any reply. The building trade being very brisk throughout the country, peat number of the London mamas on strike have, we are informed, drawn their travelling cards, and left for country john. About 30 left yesterday, and altoge ther upwards of 200 have left London. A deputation from the bricklayers committee had an interview with Mr. Myers yesterday, at Iris countinghouse in the York-road, for the purpose of ascertaining from that gentleman whe ther be intended to abide by the decision said to have been come to by the meeting of masters on Monday. They were answered in the affirmative. Later in the day, Messrs. Cubitt's and most of the other large firms posted up public notices at their works in con formity with the resolution referred to. The bricklayers' society have issued a notice calling their men off on Monday morning from all jobs where the hourly payment is offered to them. The carpenters hold a delegate meeting of their trade this evening, when the course they shall pursue will be decided upon. The plasterers will meet on Ynday evening for the same purpose. LONDON RIFLE VOLUNTEER BElGAfir..—The re gulations for the prise meeting, 1861, have been rated.

Yesterday a meeting to inaugurate the new Training College for Mistresses, recently opened at Stock well, was held at the College. Lord Jou' ROMMit_pre: sided, and there were also present, Earl Greenville, Lord Ebary, Fart Duck and Lady Lucie, J. I. Briseee & F i e l q e; LP., Fa J. Boileau and Lady_lkileau, Rev. S. R. Rev. P. la Trots, Bev. J. Tftoombe, Rev. J. Hill, Rev. J. J. Evans, Rev. Willis, Rev. J. Russell, Rev. Dr. He Owen, Dr. Crowthwr, Miens. J. S. Reynolds, nos. Mortara, R. Pont.,, H. E. Gurney, J. Corderoy, T. Benham, and Deputy Pewtrem. Mr. Wass, the secretary, read a statement, which, after giving an historical summary of the establishment and pro. grimed the Math and Foreign School Society, proceeded to draft the arrangements and objects of the new college as follows :—The room in which we lore assembled is the lecture hall. In one wing of the building will be found theclaesroome for the students. Also a day and a minced lesson room ; in the other wing the dining and retiring rooms with cu linery department, wash-house, and laundry. In front of the bedding are the committee room and the apartments of the resident superintendents. On the upper stories are the dormitories for the students, 102 in number, with ample accommodation fur the officers of the establishment, and arrangements fur the practice of household work for the students. The practising schools for the girls and infants are connected with the main building by a cor ridor, bat with entirely distinct approaches fur scholars. These schools opened concurrent) y with the occupation of the college aod are gradually film. There are at pre sent 75 student. at under training, and for admimion at Christmas next there are 110 • 'die:ante The committee add that much of the soeeeesfal arranpneeeta are due to Hr. W. Beck, the aschiteat, -sad from present appearance* Mr. Myers e . the mataictor, lass executed his part eatishietorily. The specific object of the institution is the preparation of young persons to take (theme of elementary schools for the education of the nom. The general flows* of the young people ad mitted has, in most instances, been tested and confirmed by a previous apprenticeship of five years in the local schools. The committee took this opportunity to state that whatever other sad higher attainments are desirable, thoroughness, and, as nearly as possible, a good acquaintance with ele mentary subjects--with needlework, cutting out, and domestic economy in its several branches, are acquirements absolutely necessary, combined, as a matter of course, with earnest religious character and skill in the impartation of knowledge. And not only are appliances provided for prac tical instruction in domestic subjects, but they are daily ern braced in the system of training pursued. The general con tract for the main building and forthe school-rooms amounts to 16,972/. Towards this sum the Committee of Council on Education grant 5,7421. 125., and the sum actually ressivail in form of oontributiose for this object is rather more then 7,0001. To this outlay of 16,9721. must be added the oast ci fittings and furniture, of the laud on the south aide forming the e'en* ground, and of various incidental expenses which can hardly at present be accurately stated • but prompt and liberal sad of the friends of molar edu cation upon *captivat inciples is urgently seeded aid earnestly to solicited s uppl y the deficiency of mesas. The Rev. . Timorous having read a portion of Scrip hue, sad the Rev. J. Thomas having invoked the Divine blaming on the college, Earl GLsvtt.t.r rose to move the following resolution : " That this gaieties, impressed with the importance of the suitable training of teachers for elementary schools, rejoices in the completion of this edifice, to be henceforward appro priated to the preparation of young women for conducting such schools In connexion with the British and Foreign School Society." Earl Dome seconded the resolutios. The resolution was put and carried. Lord &UST moved the next resolution—" That this meeting approving of the comprehensive basis of the British and Foreign School Society, and sympathising with the success and extension of its efforts, would com mend its claims to the Morel support of all friends to the scriptural *doodle° of the poorer classes." Mr. Bassoon, M.P., seconded the motion, which was also summated by Sir J No. Bouisoc, sod carried. The liev. S. R. CATLZT moved, and Mr. H. E. Guam mesmisil, • vote of thanks to Lord John Russell for pre. Meg g which having been passed by acclamation, The eamsaus replied as follows :—Ladies and gentle men, I have to acknowledge gratefully the resolution which yea have been kind enough to mai in my favour. It has always lase fey greet pleasure to attend to the meetings of this society. f believe the principles upon which this society was minimally established by its founders are, the but and truest principles for a country like this. I believe that scriptural education, accompanied with all the secular kaewiedge that can be imparted to young persons of the poorer ohm, is the hest foundation for a system of national adueatlon, and I here always considered it • misfortune that In 1808, to which allusion has been made in the Matesseat reed by the secretary, that principle was sot adopted as the notional principle upon which all the wheels in the comas, should be founded. It loss always Deemed to me to be particularly simple and seek• es thagsseameterity el the people of this eseatry acknowledge the authority of the Scriptures, that that knowledge should be imparted to the young, and that the particular doctrines of the established church, or the par ticular dairies* of the other religious denominations to which the children might belong, should be imparted after wards at a later age by separate teachers. It was not with- out regret that I saw a different system introduced, the consequence of which has been to prevent the adoption of this principle for the whole country; but, making the best ci what has happened, it must be acknowledged that sines 1906, when it was a matter of vast controversy end dispute whether it was right that the children of the poor should receive education at all, down to the present time, when all the various denominations and perilous of every leak and condition are vying with each other as to who shall spread the most and carry the farthest education among the poor, there has been a great and most rapid pro. gress. (Hoar, hear.) The last report of the Commiseieuen of Edueetiou shows the great advance which has been made even within the last few years, and that so large had bees the number added to those who are under instruction, that it can be no longer said, se it formerly was, that the pro- portion of the population for whom education in some shape or other as provided is a matter to be lamented. I believe that proportion will go on improving until in a few years hence we may be enabled to say the children of this country generally are receiving education. I need not say at this day how much it expands the mind to have some knowledge of history, sonic knowledge of geography—how much a man's interest and ppreoosspects in the pursuit, and employmeote of life are furthered by a knowledge of arith metic and the sciences connected with it—and which know ledge is imparted in the Borough-road School and the other schools in connexion with this society . There is also com prised in the education contemplated to this institution the industrial training of young women in those household duties and domestic employments--as dressmaking, culinary improvements and family management., a knowledge of which contributes perhaps more than anything else to the comfort end happiness of the poorer deism. I remember on one occasion laving the honour of accompanying her Majesty on a visit to a school supported by her Majesty's liberality, in Windsor-park. We visited the boys' school, and afterwards the girls' school, and while we were in the girls' school au examination was going on into the mode of preparing a rice-pudding. I had no idea before that the making of a nee-pudding was such a complicated affair—(a laughl—but I could well on. derstond how the knowledge properly and economically to prepare it and other matters belonging to the culinary art might contribute to the comfort and enjoyment of a poor family, and could fully appreciate the importance of making such knowledge a part of the education of future wives and mothers. These things, however, are but the accompaciroeuta of the education here given. I have always thought that that would be a neat imperfect system ci education which taught the sciences to the utmost without elevating the mural faculties and attending to the religious wants of the people, ant I rejoice to say that these are points which have never been neglected by the society. On the contrary, they have been made the basis and foundation of all the instruction imparted. (Cheers) I trust they will long matinee so, and that a society established upon such principles will increase in prosperity and usefulness. When I recollect the great men with whom I have been associated, some of them almost in my youth, in eupporting the so.iety—as Wilberforce, some of the most eminent of the bishops of the church °, England, with Brougluim, the late William Allan, and the late Samuel Gurney, I feel proud that it shoul d be allowed to me still to participate in promoting such a work. (Hear, hear.) The company then procee ded to inspect the internal arrengeineata of the building, is which every possible con venience for the objects for which it has been designed is to be found. The venous classes being at the time engaged in their daily studies, an opportunity was afforded of testing the character of the instruction imparted, which to the more advanced pupils appeared to be of an order far beyond the ordinary standard of female education. In one room many of the visitors were instructed as well as amused by a very lucid and lswyerlike explanation which a young lady teacher was giving to her pupils of the statute of rnortmak, Its history, objects, and the policy of meistaining it. EAST SCNTOLK RAILWAY.—An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday at the com pizainolloes, ?6, Parlismentetreet. Mr. E. Laithee, vin oof the board, in the chair, to *Derider, in coo formitp with the standing orders of the Roan of Lords, the following bill :—" A bill to grant further powers to the Red Suffolk Railway Company, to authorise certain nista with respect to then share capital, and to amend the ads relating to the company. The Chairman said the bill did net affect the working of the East Suffolk Railway, which would roatinue for 21 years, while it gave the shareholders the option of exchanging their shares for preference stock, or being paid off at par. The beads of the bill having bean read, a resolution of approval was agreed to, after which the meeting separated. THE CALEDONIAN Asnux The forty-fourth anniversary festival of this in stitution took place yesterday evening at St. James's-hall, under the presidency of Lord ELCHO, M.P., and was attended by upwards of 100 gentlemen, among whom were Sir John Heron Maxwell, General Matheson, Sir James Mee/nude Sir A. Stuart Donaldson, Sir David Baird, R. Campbell, Esq., Sir Alexander Gordon Cumming, Captain D. Cameron, Captain T. Porter, Mr. Sheriff Lusk, Mr. D. Macrae, Re. Previous to and during the pilgrims of dinner Mr. Roes, the Queen's piper, performed a variety of Scotch nationalain on the bagpipes, to the great delight of the assembly. The juvenile brass band of the asylum, under the bandmaster, Mr. R. C. Field, was also present, and enlivened the pro , ceedinp by executing well selected pieces at intervals. I The object and the present position of the asylum I ma y be gathered from the following printed statement lathed by the directors : " The Royal - Caledonian Asylum was established, and is maintained, for the purpose of sup- Anis and . educating the children of sokbers, sailors, and Marines, natives of Scotland, who have died or have been disabled in the service of their country; and of indigent Scotch parents resident in London, not receiving par och ial relief. The large number of orphans and widows who were left destitute at the conclusion of the great war in 1815, induced many leading Scotch gentlemen who had pievionaly obtained a charter of incorporation, by the style and title of the Highland Society, to originate a charitable institution for the relief of the children of those bravo men, to whose self-devotion and military prowess the British Empire was so deeply indebted. To isatruct and support thews children was • duty binding not only upon `-lem , hmen but upon all other British subjects to whom Providence had given the means of assisting towards the relief of the fatherless and the widow. There are at present one hundred and seven teen children in the asylum, sixty-eight boys and forty-nine girls, thirty six of whom are the chil dren of the brave soldiers who died in the Criinekti war. Ten boys and eight girls have laen admitted into the asylum during the past year, and eight boys and one girl have left the asylum, and have been provided with situa tions, in which they are conducting themselves to the satis faction of their employers." After the usual loyal and national toasts, the children in the school, of both sexes, entered the room, and passed be fore the chairman, in marching order, their healthy and happy appearance tilling the whole aseembly with satisfac tion and alight. The CHAIRMAN then the toast of the evening, viz. "The Royal edooian Asylum, and may the children of the brave never want • protector,' sod eloquently urged the claims of the institution to the sup port of the Scotch leakiest* in London. The toast was moot enthusiastically responded to. The next toast was, " His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, the President of the Institutioo," proposed by Sir J. H. Maxwell, Bart. Among the remaining toasts were, "The Chairman," "The Highland Society of London," "The Sheriffs of Leedom and Middlesex , "The Medical Officers of the • ASllum," sod "The Secretary of the Asylum." in the course of the pr oceedings the CHM RMAN presented to hes Majesty's piper , M r. Ross oo behalf of the Highland , Society, a gold medal bearing • suitable inscription, as • tee tinionod to his merit. ; and • Mr. Ross made an appropriate acknowledgement. i The total subscriptions announced reached newly MOO/. i The vocalists present on the occasion were Miss Stabbach, • Miss Fanny Huddart, Mr. John Morgan, and Mr. Walworth, r Mr. F. Baden being the conductor ; Mr. Rust was the toast ' master. THE MUT FIRE. It was stated yesterday that the heap of ruins which mark the spot where Hay's wharf stood, was fast being cooled, and that, therefore, no danger was appre hended from the immense vaults stored with oil, and beneath the wharf, taking fire. We are very sorry now to say that the anticipations in this respect are found to be nearest. The vaults beneath were filled entirely with caster, linseed, sperm, and olive oils, to the value of nearly 30,0004., and no little satisfaction was ,expressed that property to that extent had been saved. Yesterday, however, the firemen were surprised at finding dense jets of steam, smoke, and hot air issuing from amid the ruins over the end of the vaults next the river. Suspecting the muse, a portion of the mitts seer the entranoe to one of the Yaulte eras otter Pint hes= cooled, the rained/area away, and the dace reached, when the heat and noise within showed that the whole range of cellars, with all their valuable stores of oil, wee on fire from end to end. The most astounding fact of all is that there was no explosion when the first ignition took place, and nothing but the hot air and steam finding a vent where we have stated--at the river end of these vaults--averted • most tremendous catastrophe of this kind. Even now it Is feared by many that an explosion will yet occur, though the firemen are confident that the hot air having forced its own egress, the aperture thus made will net as a safety atve as long as the esettrcontinne burning. The extraordinary agglomerations to be found among the ruins are wonderfully curious ; slates, glass, and iron are fused into rough and picturesque muses, with all sorts of nondescript materials. The fire at the Tower of London filled all the curiosity shops with numbers of such relics, but those to be found among the ruins of the great fire are still more wonderful and fantastic beyoed description. Be' Death some warehouses the charred rice lays in piles like coke, except that the individual formation of each grain is perfectly represented by the charred cinder. Yesterday men were busily mimed in nuking salvage from the re mains of Hay's tithed. One lower floor was stored with a large quantity . of raw hides, th an which, when packed together, it is impossible to imagine anything more incombustible. To outward appearance very many of these have not suffered much, yet the intense heat, though it failed to burn, has spoilt ad. The very best of them, which seem to have escaped alto gether, may be torn between the finger and thumb with as much ease as sheen of paper. Of the immense stores of sugar in this wharf, of course nothing whatever remains save the sort of glaze it has imparted to the ruins beneath. It may be very ungallent to say so, but if there limn per tiou of the community particularly likely toget into danger on these isemaions, and certain to be helpless when the peril coma it is ladies. Yesterday there were very many ladies, and groups of ladies standing in various parts of the par tially cooled ruins, or walking about near walls which are to fall at any moment. For the sake of the expected ladies themselves this should at once be put a stop to. The seentary of the Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company writes as to the supply of water : That daring a fire of unexampled extent, fierceness, and duration, occasioning, of course, a drain of water equally unprecedented, there may have been moments when (as stated by Mr. Hodges to have occurred to his two engines on Sunday) some temporary slackness may have occurred from some particular ping I cannot suppose to be impossible, although no complaints of the kind have reached the office. During the whole fire, and indeed up to the present time, seven plugs (opening from the main in Tooley.etreet) have been in incessant How. The engineer and other officers of the company have been in constant communication with the authorities and owners of the various properties destroyed or endangered, and have been conetautly assured that the supply of water has been felt to be abundant I may be per mitted to add that the supply of water for the extinction of fires, although gratuitous, is always considered by this, as I believe by all the companies, to be among the first of their duties. They have requested both the police and the parochial authorities to direct that in case of fire their tiuncocks should he sent for at the same moment, or before the engines. This request has been (enmity attended to, and I believe that on reference to the reports of the late lamented Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, it will rarely be found that the engines on their arrival have wanted water." " ItaNCOCI'I4 RKIVRT. "The first turnoock called was G. Hawkins, at 4.30 p.m. en SlAUrday ; at that time there was only a little smoke to he seen at Cotton's Wharf. The turneock sent his man to draw a plug off the 7-inch main, and he himself went and shut the 9.uach main, opposite the Fire Station in Tooley. street. An ample supply was at once obtained for the only two engines which were there at that time. As soon as the third and fourth engines arrived another plug was drawn. This was sufficient to keep them supplied. As more engines arrived two more plugs were drawn, and there was no deficiency of water from any of them. The land steam engine arrived at about 7 p m., and two plugs were im mediately draws, one from the main and the other from the service; when the secoed land steam engine arrived another plug was drawn, which was sufficieot to keep it working without interruption. Total 'lumber of plugs drawn, 7 ; ordinary fire engines. 13; hind steam engines, 2." NATIONAL Boox UNION.—A prospectus of this institution has been seat to us.
