He gave , a prompt atom, which moused the inmates; and Mrs. Kingsland (Mr. H. was from home), her mother, a servant, a youth, and two young children, escaped by the front first. flour window. along the balcony, which adjoins the next house. The smoke soon filled the house with the utmost density, but yet no flames were anywhere perceptible; and all was conjecture as to where the fire was, until the firemen discovereethat a flue belonging to a stove in one of the workshops bad been carelessly left with. a fire io it, and the vent being closed, some wood-work bad gradually become heated, and produced that dense body of smoke, the fatal effects of which we have to re late. The firemen having adopted the uso4l means to assist the smoke in its escape, discovered, is a small room adjoining the workshop, the lifeless bodies of two apprentices,. in bed, who had been suffocated by the. smoke which we have described. Their bodies were removed into the open air, and every means adopted to ti restore animation, but unhappily without effect: they bad evidently ceased to exist some time before they were discovered.

Oa Easter Tuesday, %hen the parish accounts for the year were presented, Mr. Roffey, one of the Vestry men; gave notice, that as yesterday, he should submit a motion to the effect to do away with the select vestry, and'substitilte the old system which had been practised in the parish for a long - series of years, viz. ae open Vestry, which, might be attended by any respectable inhabitant.

Mr. L,rr, an inhabitant, and a Magi.trate for the County, said, that the reason •f the absence of, those Gentlemen alluded to by Mr. Fall was, that they were so much disgusted with the conduct porsvied by soma of the Select Vestry, that they would not attend the Meeting that day. •The question. was theti pet, and carried by as over. • whelming majority.

Mr. T. Meow, in moving the second Resolution; declared his strong objection to the principle of the two Bills. If the Rector wished to build a hoses, be might •do so; and by the Act 17 Gen. 111. be was allowed to charge for it to his successes. -• •• Mr. Skarn objected to CliFigyases applying m the Home of Commons to receive that as compelersey, which had been heretofore a mark of favour and affec tion from their parishioners. He hoped the good sense of the Vestry would induce them to withdraw a propo sition so much opposed to the wishes of the parishioners at large. Mr. Home (having been called on) observed, that being a Member of the Committee of the House of Commons, be did not consider hinnelf justified in making any remarks to the Meeting. Dr..Ft none stated that the measures were supported on two rounds, viz.—common right and custom.—. That the first was erroneous had been decided by the Consistory Court, and the custom was to pay to the Rector 2d. a head, and no more. He contended that this Easter Offering ought to be voluntary, and not a • tax. The measure, however, after hissing Jseen kicked, out of Birmingham, wag sought to be introduced bete. ' Lord Kittivou addressed the Meeting, and observed, that having seen slips of paper handed about, ccintainipg the amass of the individuals present,it might be supposed that all who attended gave their sanction to the= itlg. This sanction be, for one, was not inclined to give. He considered that the Easter Offeringswere compulsory He had known Dr. Spry for many years, and believed a better man did not exist. He (Lofd Kenyon) coo. tended, that the Easter Offerings were compulsory, and that theproposed plans would be greatly for the hawk of the poor of the parish. Colonel JONIS addressed eta meeting, and was about to enter into the origin of the proposed measures, but was interrupted by the Chairman. Mr. Pupa (the Solicitor) said, that for tha last three . or four years the rates of the parish had increased full 50 per cent. and before the appointment of the select vestries, the parish had a large sum at its bankers, but now it was deeply in debt, and without any funds.... The expense of these two bilis would be 2,00 W. with this the parish would be saddled; and they contained a clause by which 60,0001. Was to be borrowed, for which the parish was to be answerable. Mr. MASERLY having been called upon, observed, 'that he had merely attended the meeting to ascertaii the sentiments of the parishioners, which would bail their weight with him. He was one of the Committee on the Bi.ls in , question. and therefore could not feel justified in making any observations to the Meeting. After a few observations by Captain WALDSGRAVE and Mr. JACKSON ' in condemnation of the principle of the two Bills, thanks were moved to the CHAHRMAN by Sir JOHN Devi.; and the Meeting separated, having put and carried unanimously several Resolution' ex pressive of the opinions and feelings of the parish en the subject of the Bills complained of.
