The late fires, together with the numerous accounts we have lately heard of want of water, want of en gines, &c. &c. have deeply impressed me with the ne cessity there is that the Magistrates should adopt some more general plan to organise the people in cases of fire, than has yet been acted on here. Under this im pression, I venture to address you at this moment, when the public mind must be alive to everything connected . with the subject, less, however, with the hope that any thing which I may have to propose will be deserving of public notice, than that I may be instrumental in direct ing attention to the most necessary points. The want of water, arising from a deficiency of it in the mains, of which there have lately been complaints, seems, I am happy to say, by the notice taken of it in the public journals, to be partly remedied. I was pre sent soon- after the fire broke out in Fleet•street, and can assert the supply of water was ample. From the Case reported in your Paper to-day, it would seem, however, that there is not always a proper person at' hand to turn the cocks, and get at the supply. I would have this remedied, Sir, as tar as possible, by placing the keys of the cocks in the possession of certain watch men in every district. The one who was stationed nearest the cock shouldkeep the keys for the night, and he should be responsible for the water being turned on the instant there was an alarm of fire in his district. If the Water Companies object to entrusting this to any but a confidential servant of their own, they should be obliged to place these confidential servants in some well-known and accessible places, and every watchman I within the district should have a knowledge of the 1 1 dwellings of the turncocks. 1 conceive, however, it is preferable, as I see no 'motive the watchmen can have to turn the water to waste, to entrust them with the keys; and, if necessary, to instnict them in the method of turning the water on. Fire-escape ladders and parish engines are already, I believe, in their custody, and why should not the water be ? During the fire in Fleet-street, two or three streams of gas were seen burning in the midst of the other flames, defying the firemen to put them out, and adding to the fury of the blaze. As I would have the supply of water under the watchmen's care, I would also en able them for the night to cut off the supply of gas going towards any house which might be on fire. They should be brought where the stop-cocks are placed, if there are any, and if not, there ought to be some placed on every branch, and they should be constructed to cut off the communication of the gas the instant any alarm of fire was given. Any person who witnessed the fire in Fleet-street must have seen the necessity for some re gulation of this kind. These are, however, only trifling amendments: what is most essential, is a system of or ganization. I have lately seen two fires break out be tween dusk and bed-time, and the confusion which en sued by people, useless people, women, and children, both boys and girls, crowding to the spit, was greater than I could ever have supposed. They stop up the street, decay the engines, impede the firemen and do every sort of thing except assist to extinguish the fire. Tnere is no doubt that a great fire is a sublime spec tacle, even in its terrors. Pe4ple do not think of its devastations, and they behold its splendour. It is, in a large town like this, an attractive curiosity. Every ra tional man who was near Bridge-street, on Monday even ing,must have seen, from the manner in which the people all rushed to get a sight of the fire, the necessity, the absolute necessity, of preventing the crowd from hurry ing about the spat. Not a few even of the spectators implored for a military force to preserve order, and protect them from the ill effects of their own curiosity. Had I been a Magistrate, last night, Sir, I‘should have felt myself warranted in requesting the Secretary of State to send three regiments of soldiers into the City for the protection of property, and to allow the firemen room to work. Either the inhabitants must be organised, or the military must be called out. I, for one, am for the fanner, as more agreeable to the rest of our institutions; and, 1 will add, more efficacious. Time are no means of keeping away the mob but by means of the mob themselves. Its Paris, I believe, the service of firemen is entirely a matter of police; and a large corps of sappeurr - to pull down houses, &c. and • pompiers to work engines, are scattered in detachments through That city. The gendarmes are instantly at their post; all access to the place on fire is cut off, . except to the firemen, who can thus calmly pursue their work undisturbed by the rushing and the intrusion of the crowd. The system is, I believe, admirable ; but not that I should wish to see it imitated. In Germany there is also a regular system of fire organization est*. bliled in all the large towns. The inhabitants have, different duties assigned them in different places; and in case of fire breaking out, every man, to a certain ex tent, has a definite duty to perform. One of these du ties, which is, I believe, nowhere omitted, is to prevent idle people approaching the spot. Something of this kind should be adopted in London. From the Fire offices bearing all losses, there is a carelessness as to fi: not to say a temptation sometimes to cause it. I have heard it remarked, in fact, that insurance creates fires. Such a protection against loss is likely to beget a hike warmness as to taking precautionary measures, particu larly as they must be attended with privations and trouble. But in addition to the saving of property by preventing plunder, every precaution which reduces the risk of destruction, lessens the premium of insurance, and may thus supply a motive, even to the most care less, to submit to some trouble for their own good, as well as the good of the public. Independent of this, some lives would be saved, and all would have a greater sense of security,which I hold to be more valuable, from its permanency, than two or three narrow escapes. The body of firemen, as now existing, and the system of engines, are both well organised ; and, as long as insurance is in the bands of different Companies, cannot perhaps be altered. I would, therefore. leave it as it is; but it is indispensable, for their exertions to be effectual, for property to be safe, that the promiscuous crowd, should be prevented from approaching the spot. The que,tion is, how can this be effected ? Must we have guard-houses at every corner, bands a soldiers in ever, street; or will the citizens hemselves take their own safety into their own keeping.? To do the latter, which is mo* manly, most patriotic, most independent, and most secure, something like the following plan might be adopted : Each parish should be divided into certain districts, as it, in fact, already is; at the boundary line of each district, the inhabitants of a certain number of houses on each side of every street that leads to or from the district should be guards. • Their duty should always belong to the houses, whoever might dwell in them. For every district there should be a.distinct and particu lar fire-signal, such as ringing a bell a certain number of times, striking a gong, firing a small gun, letting off a sky-rocket, Etc. The instant this signal was made, the inhabitants of the boundary houses should take their station, and they should be sufficiently numerous to resist the crowd; and they should not allow a single person to pass the boundary, nor to enter the district in which the fire was, bat firemen, with their engines.' All those within the district might go to the spot if they pleased ; but I would endeavour to organise them so as to render them assistants to the firemen. My remarks on this part of the subject must, however, remain till another opportunity, and till I am quite sure, by seeing them in print, that you think these worthy of public attention. NAUTICCS. DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER CAVE WITH FOSSIL BONE& An immense assemblage of fossil sbones has recently been discovered in Somersetshire, in a cavern of the Lime Stone Rock, at Banwell, near the west extremity of the Mendip Hill, on the property of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The circumstances shish led to this, discovery are as follow :—Some miners engaged is sinking a shaft in search of calamine, intersected a steep; and narrow fissure, which after descending eighty feet,' opened into a spacious cavern 150 feet long, and about thirty feet wide, and from twenty to thirty feet high. From the difficulty of descending by this fissure, it was lately judged desirable to make an opening in . the side of the hill, a little below, in a line which might lead directly to the interior of the cave. This gallery had been conducted but a few feet when the workmen sud denly penetrated another cavern of inferior dimensions to that which they were in search of, and found its flow to be covered, to a depth which has not yet been ascer tained, with a bed of sand, mud, and fragments of limestone, through which were dispersed an enormous quantity of bones, horns, and teeth. The thickness of :his mass has been ascertained by a shaft sunk into it, to be in one place neatly forty feet. Many lasge baskets full of bones have already been extracted, be longing chiefly to the ox and deer tribes ; of the latter thete are several varieties, including the elk; there are also a few portions of the skeleton of a wolf, and of a gigantic bear. The bones are mostly in a state of pre servation equal to that of common grave bones, but it is clear from the fact of some of them belonging to the great extinct species of bear, that they are of very re: mote origin. In the rocf of the cave there is a large chimney-like opening, which appears to have commu nicated formerly wi,h the surface, bat which is choked up with fragments of limestone, interspersed with mud and sand, and adhering together imperfectly by a stalagmitic incrustation; through this aperture it is pro bable the animals fel into the cave and pet ished. The immense quantity of the hones shews the number of indis iduals that were lost in this natural pitfall to have been very great. In this manner cattle are now 'continually lost, by falling into similar apertures in the limestone hills of Derbyshire. These is nothing to in duce a belief that it was a den inhabited by hl znas like the Cave of Kirkdale, or by bears like those in Ger many ; its leading circumstances are similar to those of the ossiferous cavities in the Limestone Rock at Oreston. near Plymouth. The Cave at Banwell has within these few days been examined by Professor Buckland, and operations have been commenced for the purpose of thoroughly investi. gating its history and contents. The Bishop has already sent collections of the bones to the Museums of Oxford and Cambridge, and intends to provide a similar sup ply for all the principal public institutions in this country . ORGANIC REMAINS IN SussEx.—The workmen em ployed in forming the tunnel under the road at Kemp Town, near Brighton, discovered numerous teeth and bones, which were at first supposed to be parts of human skeletins, but upon being examined by a Gentleman conversant with such subjects, were ascertained to be long to the horse and elephant. Similar organic remains are commonly found in chluvial beds, like that on which Brighton is situated, and ate evidently the re- 1 mains of those land animals which were destroyed by the Deluge. The town is built upon an accumulation of water-worne materials which fill up a valleyof the chalk. —A short time since, if rib of a very large an'mal, sup posed to be that of an elephant, was discovered in the bank on the west side of Suoreham harbour. Mr. Mantel has discovered in the iron sandstone of this county, the. teeth of an herbivirons reptile of a gigantic magnitude. This animal approaches nearer to the Iguana of isarbas does, than to any other recent lizard, and it is proposed to distinguish it by the name of/guano-saurus. Detached parts of the skeleton, as vertebrae, thigh bones, Scs-. have also been found, of which a particular account a ill be, laid before the scientific public. Mr. Mantell has part ' of a thigh bone in his possession, which there is every reason to conclude is referable to this animal; its size is so great, that, upon a moderate computation, the imlis visual to which it belonged must have equalled the elephant in height, and been upwards of sixty feet l o ng . ire, I Tuesday se'nnight, while the Lord Byron steam-boat - was passing Bowlings, on her way to Glasgow, a sudden squall burst one of the sheets, and a flap of the loose sail knocked Mr. CAMPBELL, Master and part owner 'of the boat, into the Clyde. The moment the accident was observed, one of the hands threw a rope, which Mr. CAMPBELL, being an excellent swimmer, followed some time, in the hopes of catching ; but the wind being high, and the vessel having got a great way on at the time, he was left far behind, and made for the shore; but his strength being neatly exhausted by his previous efforts, he sunk to iise no more. ItowLEY, the player and dramatist, is mentioned by a writer of the Olden Tyme, in a b"ok very little known, as the constant companion of Bee Joesox and Roamer flisalce. in all their -said:tight revelries and tavensjonsketengs. and was one of the triumvirate whom lissaick includes in the following well-known stanza, from an ode in the Hesperides " Ah, Baia ! Say how or when, Shall we, thy guests, Meet at those lyric feasts, Made at the Sun, The Dog, the Triple Tun f Where we such clusters had, As made us nobly wild, not mad ; And yet, each verse of thine Out-did the meat, out-did the Leslie wine." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M A N SION- H OUSE. Yesterday, a Gentleman called at the Mansion-House, for the purpose of complaining of the whole of the City Police, for not being sufficiently active on the night of the late fire; and he men tioned an attempt that had been made upon his pocket-book, by cutting the pocket. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, said, the officers of the City exerted themselves to the utmost, and that it was little short of madness for any person to visit the fire, where a great crowd was collected, with money in his pocket. Leadbetter said that an hour and a half elapsed before water could be obtained; the plugs were all pulled up by the turncocks, but the firemen were standing idle, there being no water. GUILDHALL Stalks was brought up fur final examination. About nine months since, a parcel was sent from Birmingham to Mr. Wal lis, of Snow-hill, containing bone counters, &c. to the value of 101- the parcel was stolen from the carrier's can, and no trace of it could be obtained, until the prisoner offered a portion of the very same articles for sale at Mr.Wallis's shop, and he was apprehended. In his defence, he said he bought them at a sale ; and Mr. Wallis being unwilling to go to the expense of bringing up the manufac turer from Birmingham, the man was discharged. The part of the property be offered for sale was resumed to Mr. Wallis. BOW-STREET. A LOST Baornea.•--A young woman of respectable appearance, came to complain of a rubbery that hid been committed upon her. She stated that about eleven years since her brother enlisted into the 83d Regiment of Foot, and went abroad; since that time she had neither seen nor heard anything of him until Sunday night about twelve o'clock, when a man in the stable dress of a dragoon, knocked at her door. He inquired if she had a brother, who enlisted as a soldier some years since? 81te replied in the affirmative, when he said "What would you give to see him ?" she expressed her desire to meet with him again, when be said, " I am your brother, who ran away from your house eleven years ago." his assertion was to her a sufficient proof, and they kissed each other, and were happy they had again met. She provided him with lodging, cleaned his boots in the morning, and when he gut up he said he had but a short time before landed at the London Docks. He was then without mousy, but had been promoted to the rank of Serjeant-Nlajoc in the Army, and was to call at the Duke of York's Office for his pay. After he had breakfasted, he found her 'gold %vetch lying on the table ; imagining that brotherly love would excuse the act, he put the watch in his pocket, and although his sister required it should be .returned, he still retained it. In the course of the day she wished him to call witlt her on some of their brothers and sisters, but he refused, saying, he did not Want to be made an exhibition of, and asked her whether she doubted be was her brother? she, however, insisted that they should visit hint, and while she called at their heuees to epprize them of his re tura, he absconded with the watch. S'r 11. bintete was surptised she should have been so easily doped, and directed one of the officers to eneleevour to find out the man. Caches - .—A tall - stout young Irishman, named Sheen, was charged with a Most unmanly asseelt upon his son, a child eight years of age. It appeared that Bower, one of the St.Gilee's Beadles, on pa , sine through the Seven Dials, found the child sitting on the step tit a door, crying. lie irquired where it lived, but receiving no sariefectory answer, he took the chld to the workhouse. There he ewe stripped, and discovered to have been much beaten about the body. , The back of the child was scarified, and a large burn was visible across. When le otieht before the Ilagiatrate, be said that his father (the prisoner) had beat him with a thick tope, while naked ; then took Irina up by both his eats, and slashed him against the stove ; his back came against the top bar, and burnt it severely, Sir R.Binera said he was happy to observe the promptitude with which the Parish Officers of St. Giles's came forward, and commit ted the prisoner to the House of Correction ; at the same time he directed that if bail was offered it should be persons of unexception able character, and that 48 hour,' notice should be given. QUEEN-SQUA 11E. Yesterday, Tames Smiih, a private in the Coldstream G cards, was brought before 1). W. GREGORIE, Esq. charged wi:h stealing a crown piece and three shillings, the property of George Sansone The complainant stated, that be resides in the 'Vauxhall-road ; the prisoner was employed in repairing his house. On Monday last, his wife having occasion for some money, went to a drawer where she generally places it, acd missed the silver. Suspicion fell on the prisoner, who was at work in t h e room ; he denied the robbery, but prodaced a crown piece (the one stolen witness could swear to, as it had a black circle on the reverse side). Weale, an officer. took the prisoner into custody; on searching him he found a crown piece, three &hiding% and three sixpences. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. MARY-LA-BONNE. Aitlon Dyson lodged a complaint against his late master, Mr. Sutton, Liesou-grove, for refusing to deliver up his clothes. Dyson was tried at the Old Bailey about a year and a half ago, on a charge of having contributed to the death of Elizabeth Anthony, a young woman of his acquaintance, who was drowned at West ; minter-bridge, under suspicious circumstances. Some time after his release Irons prison, he was employed as porter by Mr. Sutton,. who then occupied the Globe public-house, York Buildings.--: During his service there, he. committed an assault on a young wo man in York-place, was tried at the quarter Sessions, convicted, and sentenced to the tread-mill for a month. fits clothes were left at Mr. Sutton's house, and an inventory of them made out by Buckridse, the officer, who arrested him. lie now complained to the Magistrate that all his clothes had not been returned, and Mr. Sutton refused to give an account of them. It appeared from the evidence, that Mr. Sutton knew nothing of the clothes left at his house. Dyson and two other servants slept in the same room, and at the time-of his arrest a list of them was made out by the officer. These errthes had been delivered tip to him. Buckridge, after giving an account to the Magistrate of what be had done, stated that Dyson, since his release, had used threats against his fellow servants, who had given evidence against him, and was about to tell some other circumstances, when he was in terrupted by— Mr. Gen-mu, who said, the only thing before hint at present was the complaint against Mr. Sutton, and as there appeared no ground for it, he would dismiss the charge. Sitortirrtno.—A decent-looking middle-aged woman, whose manner and style of discourse proved she had associated with per sons of respectability, was brought up on a charge of stealing a lace cap from the shop of Mr. II ark, milliner and haberdasher, of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. The prisoner gave her name Sarah Bert iagion. The prosecutor's wife stated, that the prisoner entered their shop that morning, and asked to look at some lace articles, which were produced, when she contrived to abstract the cap in question. It was immediately missed, and the prisoner pursued, and on being charged with the theft, she produced the article. Its value was wen shillings. The prisoner admitted the theft, but pleaded distress in extenua ' don. She said she bad been the wife of a respectable London mer chant, who died nine years ago, leaving her a moderate compe tency, of which, by the treachery of one of the executors, it was her misfortune to be defrauded. She bad since struggled bard to maintain herself and her three children, whom she had by her hus band. and it was from the distress that they were In (the children not having a morsel of bread to eat), that she had been tempted to commit the theft of which she then stood charged. Mr. Harris complained that they were continually suffering from depredations of this kind.—She was fully committed. Het story about the distress of her children is ascertained to be not strictly true, as she has only one with her, the other two being at the house of a relative, at Norwich. Yesterday, William Riddell, of Wells-street, Oxford-street, was placed at the bar, to account for the possession of a quantity of suspicious lead. .William Forty, one of the surveyors of this establishment, stated that he met the prisoner yesterday morning, in Foley-street, Mary. la-bonne, carrying three-quarters of a hundred weight of lead; and knowing him to be a general dealer, stopped him. The witness asked the prisoner to account for the possession of the lead In question? he refused to give any satisfactory account; in conse quence of which the witness seized the lead, and took the prisoner into custody. Magistrate to the prisoner—flow do you account for the pos session of the lead !Ting on the floor ? Prisoner—l bought it in the general way of my trade. - Magistrate—Can you state of whom you bought atry part of it? Prisoner—No, your Worship, I cannot. • Magistrate—As you are not able to give me any satisfactory ac count, it is my duty to convict you of a misdemeanour, for unlawful possession; acid I adjudge you to pay a penalty of 41. in default of which, you will be committed to prison for two months. UNION-HALL. • In the course of yesterday morning, Reed, the constable of Clapham, gave information that a large trunk, containing consi derable property, had been cut from behind Major Craw ford's car riage, on the road between Upper Tooting and Vauxhall turnpike. Lit appealed that Major Crawford was returning from his country residence on Monday night, between eight and rime o'clock, when he postillion; stopped at die above turnpike-gate, the trunk swat missed. An. inventory of the property stolen was sent to the office, which consisted of, besides a quantity of other property, a neckl ace , chain, and ear-rings ; four bt::celets, a large gold heart :.nd chain ; a ditto ring, and several ornamental rings. The tn.! %, rotwithstand ing it was fastened with a patent chain and two straps, was cut away by the expert thieves. Extensive new salt works are erecting at Droitv.ich, and the trade of that ancient borough .ippears to be greatly on the increase. A toll free ni 41 ket is to 1,; established, fr( m which many advantages will accrue both to the town and neighboni hood. The great increase of the environs of London has of late years produced very great inconvenience, &lir, and expense, in the delivery of letters by post, in parts called 41 off the stones," where there is a cony nuation of neighbourhood. It has therefore been sfeert,-.) necessary to apply for a removal of the above grieve: , and many respectable inhabitants of the parithes in vicinity of Lond6n have signed a Petition to ment, and another to the Postmaster-Genes al, pr.o ins for an extension of the limits of the General anu penny Posts. The juttice and reasonableness of th e ap plication, and the great number of signatul-es amtclice, to the Petition, give reason to hope that every attention will be paid to its prayer. It is confidently expected that the alteration will produce an augmentation Of Cie Revenue, in consequence of a greater 'limber of letters being circulated daily through the medium of the p sr, and by a free delivery of Newspapers to the inkbit. ants of the environs. Sunday se'nnight, a fine child, about eighteen monol s old, belonging to the blacksmith, at West Kerse, in th e parish of Falkirk, had wandered out unheeded by its mother, and it seems had directed its little steps :o a well, a few yards from the door, into which it u.ifor tunately fell. In little more than five minutes after it had left its mother's side, it was carried to her a l'oelrst corpse. A surgeon was sent for, and every means that could be devised used for its recoiery, but :•ithout effect. Thursday last, a fine young Oeer, ahput three years old, was observed crossing the river, by some navi a tors, near 13iggleswade, who immediately gave iofer mation to J. Race, Esq. when that Gentleman's were laid on the scent, and, after a capital chace of three hours, he was taken at Het:sold), Herts, and con veyed back to Biggleswade in a cart. AIELANCHOI.Y ACCIDENT. Saturday sennight, at Manchester, Mrs. Birch, the react of the late Mr.lliich, G;tythorn, a Lady about 50 years of age, being un. well, she had seated herself near the tire, for the pur pose of taking a little repose, when, it is s!”);,0-:cd. a spark flew from the fire upon her gown, wl i rch was composed of light cotton, and she was shortly enveloyed in 'flames. Before any as.siszance cculd be rendered her, she was torched in-a most dreadful manner, and hied about one okleck the following morning. Thursday w cek, a collier of the name of Blyeh, while woi king at Itothes colliery, met with an unzifo , ?ly end. The circumstances attending the death of this young man are peculiar, and singularly distressing. Tke seam of coal in the pit where he was working w ,s oiil about twenty inches in height, and a mass of st ,, zte, forming part of the roof, fell upon Rhin. There wa: s.. little room in the working, and the stone was so heavy, that it was found impossible to extricate him limn hi; dreadful ti•uation, until the stone was blown with gun powder. He survived dutiog the whole of that tedious and awful process, and was taken out of the pit in life, but expired snob after. Friday, the sth instant, the Morayshire Farmer Club 'held their first meeting for the whiter season. It was very numerous, and made more thaw usually happy by 'the unexpected attendance rif the Most Noble the Al I quis of- lloNmy, accompanied by Mr. Fox NlArtc. His Lordship entered into all the objects of the Society with the same exhilarating kindness toad warmth which has distinguished his intercourse with th:s re spectable body for upwards of twenty-feur years. Every eye and every heart were devoted to their Noble Friend, whose disposition to please, and promote the harmony and utility of the Clith, was never more con spicuous or more effective. In one of his Lordship's addresses, he proposed to give two silver cups as pre miums for any agricultural objects which the Club might resolve on instituting, generously placing the purpose for which, and the time when they are to be given entirely at the disposal of the Club. Before dinner, a sweepstakes between two Members for the best lot, and best individual, of two yeas old queys, of the Galloway breed; and the best lot and individual of one year old queys of the same breed, was de:er mined. Twelve were shewsi, which, for figure, sym metry, fineness of bone, and condition, the judges ad mitted they had never seen such stock bred in the county. It was with difficulty they could decide. BIRTHS. October 28, at St. Andrew's, the Lady of Professor Alexander, of a son. November 5, at Kelso Manse, Mrs. Lundie, of a son. MARRIED. At Gretna Green, Mr. Joseph Clarke, of Askhans, aged 65, to bliss Hall, aged 22. Miss Hall was his housekeeper. On Thurs. day last they were remarried at Askham, near Lowther, on which occasion a large portion of the inhabitants assembled, and accom panied the bride and bridegroom to their home, amid tumultious joy, a band of music, ringing of bells, &c.
