About a quarter before eight last night, some of the kirorkinen of Messrs. W. Wilkinson and son, the uphol sterers, on the south side of Ludgate-bill, discovered the lower part of their extensive warehouses, in the rear of their premises, in Evangelist -court, commonly called ' Little Bridge-street, leading from New Bridge-street. tb the Broadway, Blackfriars, to be on fire, the cause of which is as yet mere conjecture, and before any means could be adopted to check the flames, they communi cated to the other parts of the building. The men em ployed in the upper warehouses had scarcely time to escape before the flames ascended with tremendous and destructive fury, enveloping the whole of the warehouse, the various departments of which were stored with splendid furniture and upholstery, not a particle of which valuable property was rescued from the destructive element. From the inflammable nature of the stock, the flames spread with incredible and unabating velo city, communicating to the building on the right, which was used as Messrs. Wilkinson's stables. Here the scene became distressing, as two fine horses were with difficulty extricated, in the performance of which they were actually dragged through the flames: this service wa s performed by a few individuals, who were drawn to the spot by the alarm. The warehouse, the stabling, and a vast quantity of provender %vele now included in the dteaditil ruin, and the devouring element having obtained complete mastery, illuminated the atmosphere all round. The reflection was so great, that St. Paul', Cathedral appeared one blaze of light. This di ew 01 persons from all parts of the town, the con ctrrent reports being that Apothecaries' Hall and part of I) ictors' Comnioas were on fire. The immense glare of light pi oceeding from that quarter confirmed the teem t, and every avenue to that place was blocked by the neuitiaide by eight o'clock. In a very few minutes the Norwich Union engine arrived, followed by the • Hand in Hand, Phoenix, London Assurance, Sun, Bea. con, and others, which had considerable difficulty in approaching the coal rgration, it being so confined and surrounded by buildings; howtver, as many as could conveniently, took their stations in Little Bridge-street, Cock -court, the Broadway, and St. Martin's-court, and the water-pipes were carried through the houses in the vicinity and the various passages comiguous,but all these efforts were at first rendered nearly abortive, by the in as:equate supply of water. In about half an hour this obstacle was remedied, by digging up the main plugs, and the engines were then partially brought into play ; yet, notwithstanding, the warehouses of Ms. Blades, the glas—manufacturer, in the rear of Messrs. Wilkinson's warehouses, were soon reduced to a heap of ruins. The court was partially inhabited by poor tradespeople, amongst whom the alarm was very great. The flames now extended across the way, and a gallery built en tirely of wood, communicating with the back of Messrs. Wilkinson's house on Ludgate-hill, soon caught fire, and acted as a conductor to the rear of these spacious pre- raises, the back of which was soon on fire, and it was feared would burn through to Ludgate-hill. 'This ap prehension had such an effect that two engines were car ied round to the front, and the pipes conducted through the premises by the shop , and first-floor window. At tine o'clock the whole o s f the engines were in full play, and the filmes experienced a slight check, but not be rme it ‘‘ as di , covered that the extensive warehouse of Mr. Blake, the wine-merchant, which was behind tha,e of Mr. Blades, was included in the devastation, as also some wooden buildings that surrounded the scene; and at this period, fears were entertained for the safety of the houses in Crescent-place; but the firemen having directed their prompt attention thereto, they were pre served from the conflagration. The alarm and confusion that prevailed in the Broadway, Blackfriars, was beyond description. The inhabitants at one time feared that the whole line of houses would be reduced to ashes in consequence of the wind blowing the flakes of burring materials over the houses, which fell in many places like a shower of hail. A number of men were engaged in throwing off the burning embers from the roofs into the street, to the no small inconvenience and discomfi ture of the assembled thousands. Mr. Brown, the City Marshal, and the whole of the City Police, were on the spot, and under his ' judicious arrangements, a clear' passage was preserved for the persons removing their property, and for the firemen to work their engines ; and had it not been for these arrangements made by that officer, the most incalculable depredations would have been committed. At 11 o'clock the devastation embraced the whole of Evangelist-court. At 12, the flames were confined to the court, and could only by chance communicate to any of the houses on Ludgate hill, but the fire-engines were in active requisition this morning, the buildings being still burning, although somewhat damped. We did not hear of any lives being lost, although several very severe accidents occurred. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following are s the names of the parties who are at present ascertained to be sufferers by the above cala mitous event: Messrs. Wilkinson and Son, the uphol sterers, have, experienced damages to an enormous extent; Mr. Harvey, the linen-draper, the back of whose premises are considerably damaged ; Messrs. Barlow and Blake, the wine•merchants, have sustained a great loss ; Mr. Blades, the glass-manufacturer, is also a great sufferer ; James,' the foreman to the Hand-in /land Fire-office, had his house entirely destroyed, be sides most of his household furniture; the houses of Mr. La: kin, a glass-cutter ; Smith, a rocking-horse maker ; Gregory, Jones, and Holland, in Evangelist- I court, were extensively injured; all these houses were mostly let out in tenements to poor labouring artisans, who, from the fright occasioned by the alarm, in en deavouring to save their propetty, either lost it, or it was destroyed. As yet it is not precisely ascertained how the disaster originated. At one o'clock the walls of the butning pile tell down with a tremendous crash; and smothered the fire; but still an immense column of smoke continued to ascend ; although the flames were thus subdued, it was still found necessary to con tinue pouring in immense bodies of water. We are sorry to state that one of the firemen belonging to the Beacon-Office is missing, and it h feared he was buried underneath the fallen 'materials ; and during the night anxious inquiries were made after individuals who could not be immediately found, but we trust that nothing fatal has occurred to them. During the period of the fire, the bridges presented a peculiar appearance, being thronged with persons, and the reflection of the element had a most beautiful effect upon the Thames and the craft. The light-fingered gentry were, as usual, on the alert, and made a successful harvest upon the toperty of the petsotla aistuthlect, arid that of the ith fortunate sufferers. Some of the thieves are in custody. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. This morning search was made among the ruins for the body of Young, the fireman, said to have been killed, but to the great joy of his brother firemen, he made his appearance in propria persona, having been busil y occo- , pied during the night, in the house of Messrs. Wilkinson, and Co. Ile having been seen standing on the wall at the south side of the building, managing the water hose, and the wall falling, he disappeared, and hence originated the belief that he was killed. The most remote conjecture cannot as yet be formed by Mr. Wilkinson, as to the cause of the calamity, but it certainly originated in the ware-rooms adjoining the stables. The dreadful conflagration, in addition to its destructive effects, has caused the ruin of nearly twenty poor persons, who were plundered of their pro perty by daring gangs of thieves with the most scanda lous impunity. Some of them entered the house of Mr. Roberts, in the Broadway, and actually seized a va luable pier glass and some richly chased frames, with which they were moving off, when stopped by some of the City Police, who happened to know them. The ruf fians were lodged in the watch-house. A great number of men are thrown out of employ in consequence of the destruction of the warehouses. The engines continued playing on the burning pile at twelve o'clock this day. A fire broke out on board. the Emerald, Pringle, on Sunday se'nnight, when moored off the Custom-house Quay, North Shields; it was discovered from the Excise office, and the alarm given, when, with the assistance of the crew of the Fleetwood, of London, and others, it was got under without much damage. It originated in the cabin. Friday night last, about twelve oclock, the water-corn-mill at Chester:le Street, in the occupa tion of Messrs. CROUDACE, SUITH, and WRIGHT, was discovered to be on fire. The flames were then burst ing through the doors, &c. when a great number of the inhabitants promptly repaired to the spot, to &Ifer any assistance in their power. N.) water.engine being in :the town, some of them immediately went to Lambton-hall, and brought the engine belonging to J. G. LASIBTON, Esq. M.P. but too late to render any assistance to the mill, as the roof and upper lofts fell in a little after two o'clock, and everything, except the water-wheels, was destroyed. The loss is estimated at from 1,4001. to 1,6001. no part of which was insured. In the lofts of the mill there were at the time 50 sacks of flour, a great quantity of dressed wheat, and upwards of 600 bolls of corn. The machinery was all new about four or five months since. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Tuesday last, a large six-story building, situated inSidney-street, Glasgow, and occupied as a snuff-mill and cotton work, was observed to be on fire in the first floor. The engines were taken to the spot with the usual dispatch, but as there was a strong south-west wind at the time, to which the broad side of the building was fully exposed, the flames spread from flat to flat with astonishing rapidity, and all the exertions made to arrest their destructive progress were totally unavailing. Before twelve the roof fell in with a frightful crash ; fragments of blazing joists were tossed up in the air, and a large volume of flame rose to a great height, which gave an awful illumination to that quarter of the city. By the exertions of the firemen, the flames were confined to the .building in which they originated. Large poi dons of the walls fell during the night, and next day a number of men were employed in taking down the parts that remained standing. A correspondent in Paris, in a letter dated the Btt inst. says-;--" The rains throughout the continent of Eu. rope have of late been heavy and unprecedented to a degree, and the damage done in various parts of the country is immense. At Paris the river Seine has swol len to a prodigious height, and inundated all its banks. At present, however, the weather is clear and settled, and the season mild—the thermometer of Fahrenheit at a medium of about 45 degrees." COURT OF CHANCERY; bUSLIN t Nov. 9.—Mr. Tho limas Flanagan, of Sligo, applied to the Lord Chan cellor, and presented solue papers, which he said were petitions from the inhabitants of Dundalk, for the re moval of Lord Clermont from the commission of the peace, on the ground of two convictions against hi, Lordship for assaults. The Chancellor promised to have the matter investigated. HON EsTY...-Seven years ago, Mr. Whitehead, a draper, in Worcester, was compelled, by the sudden depression of property, to compound with his creditors, by paying thew lOs. in the pound. A relative having left him some property, the first use he has made of it is to pay every creditor the full amount of their original claim against him, and seven years' interest. A person has called upon all the creditors in London (the total amount was thousands of pounds), and paid them ; and we have heard that the house of Craig, Nicholls, and Co. flannel merchants of Shrewsbury, have received a remittance of 5471. which includes the clear balance of their debt, with seven years' interest added. This upright charac ter is a member of the Society of Friends. The net trade of Nottingham was never known to be in a more flourishing state than at present. Journeymen can earn at the present moment, without exceeding the usual hours of labour, from 41. to 61. per week ; women from 30s. to 21. 10s. per week ; and children of an early age 10s. per week ; and the working people gene rally seem to properly appreciate this prosperous state of their trades On the Ist instant a riot took place in Magherafeldt. The individuals engaged in it were all of the Roman Catholic persuasion. They had been settling some differences in a public-house, over a quantum of whis key, which not allaying their angry passions, they burst forth anew, and the disputants adjourned the debate to the street, where they kept it up so sanguinely with paving-stones and other missiles, that, but for the in terference of George Bamber, Esq. and the Priest of the Parish, the consequences might have been fatal. Several individuals were severely wounded, and the life of one h despaired of. CHURCH REVENUES IN Russta.--- , -The income of a Metropolitin does not exceed 8001. a-year ; that of an Archbishop 6001. and of a Bishop, 5001. sums apparently as small as persons of their rank can possibly subsist on, even in Russia. They are, however, allowed a con siderable sum annually for the purposes of charity. After the seven year s war, the Dutch committed several most outrageous frauds upon the English, and Lord CHATHAM was advised to sere on the property of Dutch Merchants in the English Funds. " No," said that distinguished statesman, if the devil himself had money Iddged id the English Funds, it roust rest there secure." The Rev. Mr. LA FSL lE. of Campsie, appeared in his place in the Presbytery held at Glasgow, on Wednesdays apparently in his usual health, but in the course of the evewng be became unwell, and expired before morning. 11'A DAL I NITUIGENCE. guntin se'nnight, the brig Martin, Pontos, arrived in Limerick, With timber ; she left 11Iiramichi in late as the 2241 of October, at which time one hundred and fifty vessels were lading for Scotland, England, and Ireland.

Near the dolt, a ship is sunk; of which only the masts are now above water, another is stranded near Gluckstadt, and it is not likely to be got off again. The Dutch ship Henriette, Captain ABRAMS, bound to Amsterdam, went to pieces off Cuxhaven, and it is feared that both the crew, and the family which was on board, perished.

COHN I'll A DE. -.09.-- A struggle is now carrying on in the corn trade—on one side to prevent, and on the other to procure the opening of the poi is for the importation of barley. The great aim of each is, by sales and purchases, real nr fictitious, to alter the state of the averages, as tilty will appear in the returns for the six weeks ending on the 12th instant, by which the importation is governed. Of the extent to which the fictitious sales have been carried, some idea may be formed- from the annexed table ; from which it will be seen, that from the 27th of September to the 6th of November, there arrived in the port of London 25,307 quarters of barley, while the quantity of the same grain returned by the corn-factors Ito the Inspector of Corn Returns, as having been sold and delivered during the same period, amounts to 46,231 quarters. It is thus demonstrated, that 20,924 quarters of barley have been returned in fictitious sales, with the view of opening the ports for the importation of foreign barley. The Inspector of Corn Returns has made a report on these transactions to the Board of Trade, and the affair is at present under investigation. As the parties are now known who have been guilty of these disgraceful acts, it is to be hoped they will be publicly exposed, in justice to the respectable factors on the Corn-Exchange. Quantity of Barley arrived in the Port of London in this _ following Weeks : Quantity of Barley returned by the Corn-factors to the In spector of Corn Returns, as having been Sold and Deli •ered in the following Weeks: Quarters. 318 716 Quarters.

The seeds he sent to New Yot k from time to time have teen usefully employed by the Horticultural Society, ' and the pro prietors of the Lint , Tan Garden. By the John Wells, arrived at Liverpool from Nest' York, papers to the 24th ult. have been received. They give no later intelligence from Peru or Mexico than had previously reached this country. Accounts received at Charleston from Havannah, to the 4th ult. mention the arrival there of the schooner United States, after having conveyed the widow and two sons of Iruftstoc from Mexico to Louisiana. This explains, perhaps, the cause of the remittance having come from Havannah for the maintenance of Irontunia children. Previous to the 4th ult. two transports had arrived at Havannah, in 3:3 days from St. J uau de Ulloa, with 169 Spanish troops. It is stated in a private letter from Cadiz, that the French squadron ; consisting of the Sarni anothe, 80 gun ship, four frigates, and two smaller ves , els, after petforming various evolutions returned to the Bay on the 21st ult. Thursday morning, as a man named Cropp was walking at the bottom of the Marsh, at Southampton, he saw in the water what he , upposed to be j pair of trowsets, but on examining it, he found the body of a female child-wrapped up; which some depraved wretch must have left thcre, An Inquest was held on the body, 4 and an Inquest returned of—" Found drowned.'

The Strail;etne Coursing Club met at Forte%iot, and com menced on Thursday se'nnight. Upwards of thirty couples of dogs started. There were several excellent chases; and, accord ing to the opinion of the 'judge, Mr. Moulton, from England, there were several dead heats. The first day's sport was excellent. The sport was good on Friday also, though not so much long running; and the running was still better on Saturday, as the dogs were completely matched. Colonel Oliphant of Rossie's dogs were throughout allowed to be the favourites. The pleasure of Satur day's sport was somewhat alloyed by an accident which betel Mn. Boulton. While he attempted to leap a gate, both horse and rider came down; and the latter was so severely injured that doubts are entertained of his recovery. BOXIMS. .Tosb Hudson arrives] in town last night, from Harpenden, Hert s, where he has been in training, preparatory to his benefit. lie is in high spirits, and feels perfectly confident of success. After his hendit there is to be a grand sporting dinner at Nlr. Pledger's, Nlnorgate, where the final deposit of the stakes of £5OO a-side is to be made good. Should no interruption take place, the fight will be on Tuesday next. on a raised stage, at a distance of perhaps ninety miles from London. Cannon is equal in condition with Hudson. The best fighter will therefore stand the best chance of winning thebattle. Dick Curds and Aaron will fight on the same day, and on the time stage, for £lOO a-side. It is thought Dick will have enough to do to win. tint still the odds of 5 to 4 ate continued. Jest VAtm AND SAMPSON.—The money is ready to match Ward against Sampson for one or two hundred pounds a-side. Ward po- Otely requests that a day may be mentioned fur the settling of pre liminary business. l'ar klasate AND TOM Ouvaa---Pat has denied that he challenged Oliver, and says he inerely accepted the challenge the latter gave. PEDESTRIANISM. Richard Sutton, the Kentish pedestrian, commenced on Monday se'iiiiight, the extraordinary task of walking la/ miles, backwards, in dote successive days—time. 12 hours each day.
