The matter, therefore, as far is regards any assi►tance from Minis ters, is set at rest for the present.

The Countess of Gostroun and the Ladies ACHZSOW have been, during the week, visiting at Brampton Park, the seat of their amiable relative, the Lady OLIVIA SPAVROW, whose return after so long an absence, will, we have no doubt, be a source of great pleasure to, the poor, to whom her Ladyship has been, for so many years, a most liberal benefactor.

It would appear we were wrong in ascribing the cause of the explosion of the Chartered Company's ga someter. at Brick-lane, to the wilfulness of the work men. No blame whatever attaches to them. In re pairing the gasometer, which is suspended born the centre, according to the old fashioned mode. and, we conclude, without any gride-rods, the weight of the assistant manager, who was on the top, tilted the gaso meter (then entirely filled with gas), and broke one of the stays. The upper side, being quite out of the water, stuck fast on the edge of the tank ; allowing the gas of coarse to escape, and to co-mix with the sur rounding atmospheric air, until it became an explosive mixture. In this state it was exploded, by means or lights, which are, very improperly, always kept in the angles of the gasometer house. These angles are, it seems, used as work-shops! After the first explosion, the immense volume of flame from the escaping and ignited gas rose, it is said, the height of fifty feet. The Wool-pack public-house and several hbuses in the vi• cinity of the works are said to be much shattered. THE NEW BUILDING ACT. This Act makes some very important alteration in the law, well calcutated for the prevention of fires. All new buildings in London, Westminster, and Southwark, are divided into eight classes. Buildings above 50 feet high are of the first class ; from 42 feet to 50, second class ; from 31 to 42, third ; from Si to 35 feet are of the fourth class. The other classes ate regulated by diminished height and other circumstancer.The thickness of the walls is to be regulated by the class to which the building belong*. MI but the lower classes are to have the ex ternal walls built from the foundation upon a footing of the width of 9 inches more than the thickness of the wall, which is at the least to be 1 foot 5 inches to the first floor, IS inches to the plate or gutter, and from thence to the top of the wall eight and a half inches. The party wall to have a similar footing. and to be in thickness 1 foot 10 inches, gradually decreasing to thirteen inches at least at the top. The thickness of the walls for the other classes decrease gradually. In cases of rebuild mg or repairing the party walls, when not of the thick ness required by the present Bill to be taken down and re•ouilt. The party walls are at least to be one foot six inches above the roofs. The Bill sego late. the thickness of chimnies, and construction of floes, and determines the way in which disputes, as to ownership and expense of building party walls, &c. are to be arranged. and compels persons to take down or secure ruinous buildings. And to deter ill minded people from setting their houses or buildings on fire, with a view of gaining the Insu rance money, the Insurance Offices are authorized to expend the money in repairing the damages done by the fire ; and to prevent fire* by the negli gence of servants. the Bill enacts, that in all such cases, on conviction, by the oath of one wit ness, before two Justices of the Peace, the servant convicted shall pay 501. to ►e distributed by the Church wardens, amongst the sufferers by the fire; and in de fault of payment, shall be committed to the Gaol or House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for any term not exceeding eighteen months. This is by much the heaviest punishment the law allows on a summary conviction before Magistrates. without trial by a Jury. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. EXRTER, Joie 11.

JAMES'S - PARK IN 1741 ;' DESCRIBED BY A GiftNAN SECRETARY Ol LEGATION TO THE COURT OF ENGLAND. "Every morning I make the tour of St:Jannis-perk, which presents at once a scene of the countrv,nf • re.reat, of an army, of the city, and of the court. On entering it. I see a number of cows grazing on the ♦erdant IMO; these furnish the principal ingredient of a liquor the English call syllabub, sad which they take as a whole some refreshment. They artier in csowds, each with a large glass, about a third pat t filled with Spanish wine; this they present to a rural nymph, who taking it in• randy to the cow, almost fills it with milk, and then pours in a subtle juice drawn from fresh herbs and Rowers. I continue my course, and traverse many paths, some straight and some devious, over a ground now ascending and then descending, but all preserved with the greatest care. On one side I behold a most spacious basin, covered with clamorous ducks, and every other aquatic fowl. In the midst of this basin rises an island, ornamented by an elegant rural building. formerly the abode of the celebrated St. Evremond, who contributed so much to the forming of the taste of French literature.• I think I behold him walking on the terrace that surrounds the house, musing on some work of wit, or on the churns of the Duchess of Maurine, whose ardent affections he engaged to the last moments of her life, in spite of a crowd of adorers that inces santly throdged forward in homage to her charms. At a short distance hence I came up to a company of the King's Guards, under exercise of an officer, who swears and perspires till I leave him for a magnificent pile called Buckingham-house, where the last Duke of that name died in vie flower of his days, and in the midst of a caster that promised lunge to his name and geniis.. A few hours before his death be composed this Latin Eiritaph: "4 Debles, non linens vial, beams merior non pertorhatea. Humanism eft nebeire et erten; Ens Endum miserere mei !" Though &bias% not profane I lived. ThUugh duubtful ; not disturb'd I die. Darkness bud error are man's tot ; Great source of beings, hear my cry! " Turning my eyes and footsteps from a structure creating gloomy reflections, 1 enter that long and spa cious walk called the Mall; and being mid-day find it crowded with the beau-m• nde of both sexes, who pass hastily along. The Ladies here wear a kind of "close neglige, in which they appear still more charming than in the most finished dress. Every part of their apparel is extremely neat ; instead of a large hoop, they have short petticoats ; their gowns are elegant, but not gaudy; they have short cloaks trimmed with lace, and little hats, either of straw or beaver, or else feathers in their hairi which altogether gives them a light end elegant manner. It is in the Mall that we always meet some of our friends, and see the Ministers, the Courtiers, the petit maitre:, and the coquettes t here we learn the Hews of the day, and make our pas ties ; and here we stay till it is time to dress for the Court or for dinner."
