I MR. SECRETARY CANNLVG. DUBLIN. SEPTEMBER 20. Saturday Mr. Secretary Censure came to town from the Vice regal Lodge, and accompanied the Lord Mayor to the principal Buildings of the Metropolis, which he had not before inspected. The architectural beauty of the Custom House and of the Post Cab, called forth from the Right Honourable Gentleman an ex radon of particular and marked approbation. He did not delay long, however, at either of these Public Establishments, as indeed the routine of business there differs little front the mode in which it is conducted in similar institutions in England. His visit to the Kildare•street Association was one, perhaps, of more importance, both from the attention which the Right Honourable Secretary paid to it, as well as from the frequent discussions which it has created b this country and in Parliament. Mr. NORTH, who made his maiden speech inParliament in defence of the principles and prac tice of this institution, conducted him over it, and explained to him the system of education adopted there. Mr. Secretary Cassino expressed himself in terms of warm approbation of the explanations given by the Honourable Member fur Plympton Earl, and heard several of the Pupils examined before him, with whose advance ment in the elementary parts of history, and other departments of learning, he.seemed exceedingly pleased. After having delayed for some time at the institution, it was sug gested to the Right Hon. Gentleman, that it might be tedious fur him to see the whole of the establishment, to which he replied, that 1 he was pleased with what be bad seen, and hoped he might be permitted to see the whole of it, as the Institution was one in which he took a particular interest." The Right HOG. Gentleman accord ingly inspected it, and returned highly gratified with what he bad MO St the Institution, and what he had been told about it. Yes terday, after having attended Divine Service at the Castle Chapel, Mr. Secretary CANNING dined with the Arroanzr-Gruaam., at his country seat, Old Connaught, Bray, and lie intends to devote this day (Monday) to a visit to the romantic and beautifully picturesque views with which the County of Wicklow abounds. His depar ture is as yet undetermined. We are aware of no political event connected with the death of the King of Emotes, which should require his immediate departure from this country; and we are not as yet apprehensive' that it will require the presence of the Right lion. Gentleman in England. TCESPAT.—We stated yesterday that we were not aware of any event which might require the immediate departure of Mr. Secre tary CANNING from this country. A dispatch, bowel/. r, has reached Government, irf which, if not directly stated, it is in‘itittatetrthat some change is probable to occur in the conduct of the French Go vernment ruwar,:s Spain. -If this be the fact, the presence of the Right Hum:ratite Stcrettry for Foreign Affair, will, we pre-unte,• be required in London. Au express reached Dublin yesterday, the purport of which was, we understand, a communication intimating the expediency of Mr. Secretary CANNING'S speedy return to London. Mr. Secretary Cassisa was not in town, and the express was forwarded to the County of Wicklow, where the Right lio rantrable Gentleman has been on a visit, for the last two days, to thv Attorney-General. Ile has been invited to Mr. Secretary COULRURN'S to dinner, on Tuesday ; and to Colonel Tatanes, at Nal.thide ; to Sir E. Lees, to dinner.; and to several other Gen tlemen of his private acquaintance. PRIVATE LETTER. " Dusim, Sernmsts 18. _ _ . 1 The object of Mr. Secretary CANT OW3'D VW( to this country continues to be a subject of much conjectural discussion amongst the people here. Alost persons disbelieve the assertions of the London Ministerial paper, that the Right Honourable Gentleman's excursion is merely recreative. The general opinion is, that he wi, , hed to obtain the most accurate information-respecting the ac tual state of affairs in Ireland, which -was only to he acquired by personal investigation ; some, however, say, that he was induced to conic over for the ptirpose of making arrangements for the pro jected marriage of his daughter with the Earl of Ctastratnktun. is very possible that all these motives may have combined iu inducing the visit ; although the last seems questionable, from the, circumstance of his not proceeding to Lord Clausascaan's resi dence at Portumaia ; since no arrangement could take place at Dublin, which might not with equal facility be effected in London, or any other part of England. The Earl, who bas but 2itely come of age, is i Nobleman of very ancient family, and Is described to be a Sue young man, of liberal principles, and possessing an unem .berrassed property arnottfiting to £lB,OOO per annum. At two ti'clock to-day Mr. Secretary CANNING paid a visit at the Aiansion house. and afterwards at the house of Mr. Doottaare, the Member fin New Ross, who is his relative; from thence he proceeded, ac companied by Lord I lowA an ne IVA LIMN. his private secretary, the Loan Ma cox, Mr. Noa•rn, M. I'. and Air. DoomERTY, M.P. to the E.:Ware-street School, the Dublin Society-bouse, the Custom-house, arid the Post.offic e, all of winch he inspected. but riot very minutely. It was rumoured today that he would return to England to-mor row, but it was afterwards stated that he would remain here some days longer. Advices are said to have Wen received from the city of Mexico, of the 28th July, brought by the Forte, LIMA we, stating, that the Commandant of the Castle of Sun Juan d'Ulloa, who has so long held out against the Republican forces, seeing no chance of being re lieved, and the garrison being reduced to a very incon siderable numlrr, had at length• thought proper to enter into negotiations with the Government for the surrender of the place. These were expected to be brought to a conclusion immediately, in which case the Spaniards would lose the last hold they possessed on she Mexican territory. Through the same channel we learn, that Beneski, the Pole, and two or three others of lturbide's followers, were shot the day after Ituilaitle. THREE PERSONS BURNT TO DEATH.—Tuesday even ing, the 14th instant, a widow, of the name of M'Rae, residing at Breachdachdin, in the parish of Kilmorach, and her three children, two girls and a boy, from twelve to nineteen years of age, retired to rest at their usual hour. The woman awoke about midnight, and finding the house in flames, she hurriedly awoke her eldest daughter, and desired her to get out her brother and sister; she then leaped out at the window, aud ran for assistance, but there being none near, before her return the roof fell in, and her three unfortunate children, her sole support, were burnt to death in the ruins. Five or six head of cattle, and the furniture and clothes, fell a prey to the flames. The fire originated in a temporary partition attached to the fire-place.— lnverness Journal. Among the persons whose interests have been affected by the sudden and unexpected stoppage of the banking -house in Berners-street, are some who were so unfor tunate as to pay in large sums on the Saturday. preced ing the suspension of payment. One person, who is said to be in treaty for Hatchett's Hotel, is reported to have paid in the large sum of £22,000. Another person, 41 butcher in the Edgeware-road, paid in £l,OOO. A third person, a builder, was more fortunate ; for on going to the banking-house late on Saturday afternoon, with the intention of paying in 1,5001. it was intimated to him by a clerk that they were too busy to attend to him, and that he had better call again with the money on r'.lrnday. The hint was understood, and he left the office with the cash in his possession. A few individuals in the course of the day received anonymous letters, containing mysterious intimations about an impending danger, and cautioning them to withdraw their effects. A letter of this description was received by a tradesman in Prince's -street, Hanover-square, who in consequence - withdrew cash to the amount of 3,000/. In the after I•art of the day he made inquiries as to the state of the firm, and haying convinced himself, as he thought, that the letter was only a mischievous hoax, he actually replaced the money in their hands. Tuesday night, or early yesterday morning, the house of Charles Fourdenier, E q. Tavistock-place, was broke open and robbed of sever al articles of plate, wearing apparel, house-linen, fcc. The ruffians effected there escape undiscovered. GREENLAND FISH ERY.—With the exception of two Ilull Ships, all the ships lit Greenland had been at Shet land, or were known to have sailed homeward; and, as their success was ascertained, the calculation is an average of lifty-thri e tuns of oil to each of the thirty fishing-ships, one having been lost. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Wintle, of North street, gave us the following particulars:--At twenty minutes past twelve, he was alarmed by the watchmen's rattles, and calls of " Fire!" but they could not tell where. He discovered that it was in the back premises of Mr. Loader, an extensive mahogany merchant and cabinet maker, and on breaking open the front door they found one of the workshops in a blaze. It was nearly two hours before the engines arrived. The parish engines came first, but for three-quarters of an hour they could not act, for want .of water. There was none in the main pipes. This misfortune occasioned great con fusion. Could water have been got in time, half the property miAht have been preserved. The fire rapidly communicated to the other shops, and the whole yard was in .one terrific blaze, illumining the horizon for a consi derable distance. The rain fell pretty heavily.at two o'clock, but the adjoining premises of Mr. Griffiths (another timber yard) unfortunately lay in the direction of the-wind, which blew the flames with great fury on a large stack of wood. . The engines now arrived, and there was a plentiful supply of water. By the great ex ertions of the firemen the stack was partly preserved, and the fire was entirely subdued after four o'clock. There was nearly £lO,OOO worth of property destroyed or damaged, £3,000 of - which is only insured. Upwards of £l,OOO worth of plate glass ha/been destroyed. —No accident occurred, with the exception of an old Lady, who received such a violent shock as to be carried out of Mr. Loader's (her son) house, in a state of insensibility which threatens her life. Mr. Loader was from home on business. A Gentleman, who met him at Reading, on Tuesday, called on Mrs. Loader, and said that her husband, with a new horse and gig, in turning a street in Read. ing, the horse took fright, and dashed into a shop-window. The Gentleman observed to Mr. Loader, that he should not like pro ceeding on a journey so ominously begun. The fire in Silver -street, of which we yesterday gave an account, is now ascertained to have been more de structive than was at first imagined. As some part of the leather manufactory of Mr. Mills was composed of wood, the devouring element burnt with a degree of rapidity and extension truly awful. In a few minutes it communicated to no less than seven or eight dwelling houses adjoining ; and such is the closeness of the build ings, that at the same time three houses in Silver -street, two in Fitchett's-court, and three in Hind -court, both' in Noble -street, were berning. It was some time before the fire-engines, after their arrival, could, not withstanding all the exertions of the firemen, to whom every praise is due, operate effectually on the flame. To witness the great distress of whole families making their escape from the fire, many of them having scarcely had time to put on their clothes, was truly heart rending; and their furniture, at least such parts thereof as could be saved, huddled into the street, in one con fused mass. - The fire burnt for upwards of two hours with a fury that even defied the power of the engines and a plentiful supply of water; but by six o'clock the great exertions of the firemen and neighbours confined the fire to the devastation abovemeutiened. Mr. Mills's manufactory and seven or eight houses are now reduced to almost a heap cif rbins. It is satisfactory to add, that no lives were lost, and no serious accident occuried, , but the property destroyed .is considerable. The pro perty consumed, belonging to Mr. Mills alone, is esti mated at about 10,0001. No later than Saturday last 2,0001. worth of goods were delivered on his premises; and what adds to the calamity is, that not a farthing of the whole is insured. It is a curious circumstance, that on last Saturday afternoon a list of insurances for the above premises and property, to the amount of 14,6001. was made out, but being after office hours, the same was not carried into effect ; and it escaped Mr. Mills's recol.; lection the two following days. A New York Paper of the 24th ult. mentions the se tond ascent of a balloon, in the shape of an elephant. OLD BAILEY. NEW COUILT—TILLS DAY. James Bowler and Cornelis Quinlan were indicted, the fOrmer for stealing a quantity of lead from the dwelling-house of Cu!. Steele, in Brook -street, Grosvenor-square ; and the latter with receiving it, knowing the same to have been stolen. 'fhe prisoner Bowler, it appeared, was at work only-three doors from where the robbery was committed, when suspicion felling on him, he confessed to it, and told the officio he had sold the lead to Quinlan. A number of witnesses gave Quinlan an excellent character, and several spoke in behalf of Bowler. The Jury found Bowler:Miry, and acquitted Quinlan. Yesterday, George Laker, a twopenny-postman, was indicted for having forged the name and seal of John Faulkner to a bond, in the penal sum of £BO, with in tent to defraud his Majesty. . Mr. GURNEY stated the prisoner to have been ern-. ployed for some years as a letter-carrier in the Post Of fice; he was, of course, called upon to give security for the faithful discharge of his duty, and on this occasion he tendered a bond, purporting to be signed by two persons, of whom John Faulkner was one. It was dis covered that the signature cf •tle latter was a forgery, and for this the prisoner was indicted. John Faulkner proved that the signature cif his name to the bond in question was not of his hand-•.vriting.— On his cross-examination, the witness said, thir on being applied to by the prisoner to sign the b,.n:l, he would have done so, but for his wife's objecting to it. He there fore declined, but told the prisoner he might, if he chose, sign the witness's name. Mr. GURNEY hereupon 'declined pursuing the case.— It appeared that the other signature to the bond, that l of the prisoner's father, was genuine; and it was there foie possible that the prisoner n,i.ht have supposed he was authorised in signing Fan I k 's name, as be had his consent.—The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner., George Avani, aged 30, was indicted for concealment of pro f :city in fraud of his creditors. fhe prisoner had been a jeweller at Hastings, and after• his bankruptcy stated that he had delivered up all his goods. But in con.eqtrence of an anonymous letter, jewellevy to the amount of £2OO was discovered in Pim lico, belonging to the prisoner. By the Act of Parlia i ment, it was sufficient if the value exceeded 1.:20. This iiffence had been capital from the sth of George 11. to the present reign, when it was made liable only to transpurtation, or fine and imprisonment, at the discre tion of the Judge. Messrs. ADOLPUOS, BROORICK, and PLATT, defended the prisoner. In proving the formalities of trod -Ing, petitioning _creditor's debt, and acts of bank ruptcy, the first count failed, because the petitioning creditor's debt was contracted with William Smith and his partner, but the indictment se: forth generally, " William Smith and other creditors." The second count was held to admit proof of the same formalities by the expression, " such proceedings;" but his Lordship reserved the point for a motion in arrest of judgment. Smith, the petitioning creditor, being called into the box, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE held his testimony to be inadmissible, on the same principle as a civil action, in which he is always regarded as plaintiff. 'Much argu ment arose upon this point. Mr. PLATT referred to a decision of Lord Ellenborough at Lewes, in, the case of the King and Edward Cooke, in which the testimony of the petitioning creditor was refused, en the ground that he was interested in uphold ing the commission. • Mr. ANDREWS, who had been in the case referred to, contended, that the•ground of refusing the testimony in that case was removed by offering a release. His LOrdship could not see how a release ceuld ope rate in this case. His impression, during his profes sional life, was, that a petitioning creditor could in no instance be made a witness; but, if he should he ex amined, he would certainly re,erve the point for the opinion of the Judges. The petitioning creditor's nephew was called, but points of law were raised at every step, and argued at considerable length. The Learned Judge then summed up with great pre cision, when the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. George Iden, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a gelding, the property of John Green, of Eltham, Kent. The horse was young and strong, and worth more than 151. At two o'clock on the morning of the 24th of August the prisoner was seen with a horse, on Saffron hill, and offered it for sale to a knacker, to be slaugh tered. The identity of the prisoner and the horse was satisfactorily established. Guilty—Death. William Rolfe, aged 18, was also capitally convicted for stealing a cow.—EThe prisoner is the groom who, it will be recollected, gained the affections of his master's daughter, and appeared on the occasion at Union Hall.] Mr. William Monk, formerly a very highly respected licensed victualler, was put to the bar on an indictment, charging him with gross, wilful, corrupt, and malicious perjury, in having sworn that Mr. It. C. Mullett, for merly of the Spur Inn, in High-street, in the Borough, was in needy. circumstances, and that he was not a re sponsible person to justify bail in au action, in winch a person named Srackhouse, was the plaintiff; and two persons, named Foster and Field, the defendants. This ca'e excited very deep interest, and the Court was crowded to excess. Mr. Anoranrus conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. ANDREWS the de fence. Several_ witnesses were called to prove the charge ; and for the defence, the two sisters of the de fendant swore diametrically opposite. Mr. ARABIN summed up the case to the Jury, who found the prisoner Guilty. The tiial lasted till nearly twelve o'clock. Charles &evens was indicted for stealing 1,800 yards of Irish linen, value £lBO, the property of Messrs. Richardson and Rich ardson, linen-drapers, in thford-street ; and William Bourn and Charles Shillisae were charged with receiving the stolen property. The circumstances.of this case were secently very fully stated in our Police Report. Several witnesses gave Shillitoe a good character. The Cosmos-SwF-ANT summed up the evidence with great abi lity.—The Jury then, after deliberating for about a quarter of an bout, returned a verdict of Guilly against Stevens and Bowen, and acquilied Shillitoe. In the course of the day, the Grand Jury ignored a bill which had been preferred by a person named Duna, against the Editor of the Sunday Times, for libel. We were given to understand that the alleged libel consisted in having conftfunded the complainant with a Air. Dunn whose came was recently introdw!ed in a Grins. can. case, in which General Dyott was concerned. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. — Surgeon Whitmore, cf Cold Bath-square, attended yesterday at Hatton-garden Po lice-office, to inform the Magistrates, that about eleven o'clock a man was brought to him with his head com pletely compressed, the brain protruding through the ears and nose. The man was astonishingly able, afte. a few seconds, to inform him, that in passing through Elm -street, a person pushed him off the pavement, and his head was - ctushed between the wheel of a brewer' dray and the curb. He had a wife and six child.eo. As Mr. Whitmore momentztily expected his death, ht requested that some person might be sent to take hi deposition. SPORTING INTE a LLIGENCE. - c .

Yesterday a rowing match took place for a wherry given by the inhabitants of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, by six pair of oars, in three heats; they started from Hungerford-stairs through Waterloo and Westminster Widget, twice, and returned to the place of start ing. It was a well-contested race between' the first and second boats, the others taking it easy, having nu chance of winning; when Perry and Willson won the prize in style. After the match a pole, well soaped and greased, was fixed in the ground with a leg of mutton at the top, which closed the afternoon's sport. Saturday, a grand match was rowed in wherries, from Woolwich to Gravesend, and back to Woolwich again, by Messrs. Straton, Harness. Crawford, and Roweroft, of the Royal Military Academy. Messrs. Straton and Harness took the lead and kept it to Gravesend, and back to Greenlaithe, when they were parted by the other two. The whole distance, 45 miles, was done in five hours and three-quarters. We understand that the little town of Swanage, near Poole, in Dorsetshire, will, before the next season, be ready for the accommodation of sea-bathers. Its situa tion is peculiarly attractive; affording a pleasing sajl ,to Lymington, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight; the sands are also good, and persons may bathe at all 'antes of the tide. The town is at present -small, and the roads not good, but both are improving, and are, indeed, counterbalanced by the conveniences the situa tion possesses. A bathing establishment at Swanage has long been wanted, and when formed, will he of great advantage to the inhabitants of that neighbour. hood, where there is at present nothing of the sort but at a great distance.
