It is perhapiliseless to consider what has occm siongd this state of things; but m the evil exists, we mast face boldly, and apply ourselves to some means for averting the dangers to which every imam in the coun try ii exposed. It is impossible that principles ilzecipro sfly in trade, even if acted upon with good faith by other countries . , can be adhered tu, if prices are main tamed in this country at a rate which prevents the ma. nufacturer from competing with tmeigners. or doing so by paying his labourers'a rate of wages on which they cannot subsist. Prices must therefore be lowered, and this can only be effected 'by a reduction. of 'taxation. which again can only be effected by some bold and de cisive measure respecting the National Debt. We do not recommend g violation of the nationallaids. but we contend, as we always have done, that the public me ditot now receives Mae than he bargained for, and that justice, as well as expediency, suggests that some pleasing should be adopted which would throw wane part of the burthen of the &ate upon the Pundbol,:en This course must be followed, or every other iatesest will be,biried in one common 'inn.

The Porte anxiously looked for the arrival of a new Ambassador, as the best means of immediately causing the settlement of the Greek question.

The spot where the fire broke out was so situ ate. that itwas impossible any accidental circumstai.ce Isaac set it on fire, as the following description of the , lace • ill clearly shol. . .The north-eist transept ss about twenty feet from the ropt,to which there is abroad place known by the name otAlie.

Billington, thelandfoid, who 101 niediatelf ran the . house of Mr.. Caster, the Clerk of the Wanks,- in Dseit's.yard, and informed him that the interior of the Abbey was in flames. It was thought advisable to proceedlo the house of Dr. Ireland, toe Dean of this /Obey; and, though the Doctor was fro* home, his family rendered every assistance is their power. An entrance was gained into the Abbey through the Dean's • house, by Mr. Carter, Mr. Walmtley, Mr. Oiler, and others. The se ten o'clock bell-was rang," which alarmed the neighbourhood, and !he Abbey was soon sits sounded by an immense number persons. A messenger was dispatched to Bow.street, tot the Assistance of the police.. A request as also made at the Hosse Guards for the assistance of the mi. liter y, and it is elinostunnecessary to say that the utmost promptitude was displayed by the heads of the civil and militai y depaitments, to render the necessary aid in pstraordinas y emergency. Sir 8. Birnie and the police officers were, immediately' on the spot, and a cotupany of soldiers very soon made their appearance, Andpraivesitestthe sacred edifice from being entered by the mob. We have said that the Dean of Westminster s was - inthe . country, but every assistance watafforded honk his house, which is situated in the Cloisters,,and a supply of water was hit-dished by means of buckets. Mr. Carter succeeded in opaline the door leading to the vanities et the edike, and ascended the stairs proximate to the fire.

George Rose, Esq. Mr. Phillips (late Clerk of the Works), and several other Gentlemen who thronged to the sane, were most active in their esertions to subdue the devaluing element, in which they happily succeeded. Had the alarm been giveu • half an hour later, the rout of the Abbey must have been entitely burnt, and probably the greater part of the building. Mr. Waitaki. of the House of Comment, was passing along Westminster-bridge, sod Observed a light in one of the windows of the nonhaeast transept of the Abbey. So-tsunami an eppearstice Mirk him with astunislinsent, and made him conclude that a Are bad broken set in the venerable building. He proceeded forthwith with some friends to Poet's Cotner -sod rang the Abbey bell. He soon procured admittance, and, attended by .petkons belonging to the Abbey, hastened to the valet frum whence the Are proceeded. Engines were immediately sent for, and in the meantime Mr. Walmsley and those with kin ascended to the place from whence the Ire issued. They discovered a can% A." screen, which divides the transept, in wiles. The wood tell. n • firms the hese ot the screen was entirely cunsented, the flo.n burnt through. and the Ire had burnt away neatly three inc:ses in depth • of the large beam which tupports the floor. . • MI.

In tbeir" hurry di gain the plate where the Ire broke out, they bad .r e schol : be upper soakings • and hie, Billington, not being aware there was no guard beim hint, stepped his foot ever, and narrowly escaped being pre- • elpitated en the loot; a distance of nearly . 4llo beet. The building having been;saved, the greatest anxiety was mania teloaa, ano every memo were adopted to dioneer the cause 0' the lire: That it meld not be, by accident was evident at sites—the • • •• height aid nentoteness of the 'place—the deface!' y of acceso—die infrequenc'y of persons *visiting it—and, &tote all. the pendia Aeneas atbil'epot fix the porpoise of deoroying the buil dog by fire, showed that it must have been the work al •some itscrodi ry well acquainted with the interior of the Abbey. and with this place in particular.
