Last evening, as on the previous evening, the House of Lords was crowded with a brilliant as semblage of peers in the body of the hall, of peeresses in the side galleries, of statesmen on the steps of the throne, of ambassadors from the ends of the earth. On Monday the interest calling together these motley witnesses and auditors of a great historical _discussion was awakened by the simple fact of the debate's commencement or y inauguration. Yesterday the gathering together again of very nearly the same assemblage was attributable to the expectation excited by the simple fact of the intimation in the public journals that Lord LYTTON had, at the close of the pre vious sitting, moved the adjournment. As the Times of this morning remarks, in reference to the account of yesterday's proceedings, "A concourse as great or perhaps greater than that which assembled on Monday flocked to hear the Poet, Novelist, Statesman, Orator, who was understood to have the tight to begin, and many among the oc cupants of the Peeresses' Galleries must have been disappointed when they found Lord GREY supplant ing Lord LYTTON in re-opening the discussion. Nor was Lord GREY'S speech," adOs our contemporary, "of a kind to mitigate their disappoiotm3nt." The whole debate of last night, for that matter, with one radiant exception, was a long series of dull and fatiguing disappointments. Earl GREY was perhal s just a trifle less tedious than usual, and at, moments a trifle less maddeningly impaskiie in his delivery. As for the Archbishop of DUBLIN, who followed him, we have seldom in either (louse of Parliament lis tened to a more ludicrous or a more lugubrious exhi bition. His Grace might just as well have cried "scissors to grind 0," like the tinker in CANNING'S " Friebd of IlluriAllity," as Lave *Lined, .as be did, b a se .) THE SUN, LONDON', WEDNESDAY _EVENING, JUN 16, 1869. pulchral voice, his inarticulate expostulations, or sup lications, or whatever else they were, to the half amusement, half indignation of the crowded assem bly. One muttered comment floated to us—that he bad mistaken his platform ! Another—that be was in himself a conclusive argument in favour of the immediate abolition of th 3 Irish Episcopacy ! After him—and any one would have been welcomed as a relief—came the Bishop of St. David's, whose best bit, perhaps, was his deprecation of the conduct of some people in continually holding up the POPE as a scarecrow. " A scarecrow, my lords," said the right reverend prelate serio-comically, "is most effective at first., but in course of time, I believe, it is often found, if it holds its place too long, the birds it was wont to frighten learn to perch on its shoulder and even to build their nests upon it"—at the which the House, as a matter of course, laughed. But even the Bishop of St. David's failed to rouse the house from the languor of depression into which it had been drowsed, not unnaturally, by the half cantankerous, half 1 Idegmatic dogmatism of Earl GREY, and the distressing and all but tearful monotone in which Archbishop TRENCH had bewailed the doom impend ing over himself and his Episcopal brethren in Ireland. Thoughtful though Bishop num.- w.ku-'s speech was, and striking though it was in its final announcement of his deliberate intention to vote for the second reading, it fell upon the saddened hearing of the House in no respect whatever as an adequate compensation for preceding inflictions. Lord CHELMSFORD, who rose next, was chiefly re markable for saying ditto—not to Mr. BURKE, but— to Lord PLUNKETT. Reasoning very logically against the specious but really shallow argument advanced, in furtheranceof their views, by some defenders of the Irish Church, to the effect that its removal would necessarily weaken the English Establishment—the next speaker in last night's discussion, Lord PENZANCE., at once, as it seemed to us, swept aside that argument by the following series of apt and almost witty illustrations--" If'' said he, " the strong and the weak stand side by side, the•weaker leans upon the strong, it does not support it. If the healthy and the morbid are brought into contact, the healthy suffer without the morbid gaining strength. My lords, in my opinion the Irish Church is the weak point of the English Establishment. What General would hesitate to surrender an indefensible fortress, or, to adopt the illustration of the noble and learned lord, what architect would desire to preserve a tottering tower to the jeopardy of the rest of the build ing, or what surgenn would he;itate to sacri fice a morbid limb to preserie the rest of the body ?" Barring this one passage, however, the speech delivered last night by Lord PENZANCE was —(though, to our thinking, of course, it was on the right side) — as a speech a dead failure—certainly falling dead and flat upon the exhausted patience of his hearers; being, in point of fact, dull, with the dullness of PETER BELL, that is to say, " dull, beyond all expression dull." It was as if the noble and learned lord were summing up, by the force of habit, in favour of the proposed divorce of Church and State. After the Duke of IllottstoND had with a certain manly frank ness explained the realms, the thoroughly conscien tious reasons which had prompted him to break with his party, with his former colleagues and with his personal friends, on this question of the Irish Church Bill, and to side for once, in spite of all those ties of party and of all those bonds of friendship, with her MAJESTY'S present Government—came, at last, the one great and signal triumph of the night—the maiden speech of the Bishop of PETERBOROUGH. A more brilliant and a more effective maiden speech we never listened to. It fairly captivated the admiration of both sides, last night, in the House of Lords. It roused the noble lords, for once in their lifetime, from their constitu tional imperturbability. It roused them, in fact, again and again, to unmistakeable enthus'asth. According to our view, of course, the singularly able speech we are here referring to was, from first to last, en tirely on the wrong side. Bat, not a soul who heard Bishop MAGEE last night listened to him otherwise than with delight. Irony delicate but incisive, wit bright and sparkling, humour genial and most racy, unaffected earnestnesz, the whimsicallest phrases, the drollest conceits, the most covertsare isms—"going off" almost with the softness of a discharge from au air.; gun, but hitting their intended mark wi h an aplomb like that of a cannon ball from an Armstrong—those were among the distinguishing peculiarities of a speech as remarkable as any we have heard for years in the Upper house of Parliament. As an oratorical triumph it was a brilliant success, and redeemed the night's debate from the dead level of dullness, by which it must otherwise alone have been remembered as having been most consistently but most wearyingly characterized. THE Lords have risen fully to a great occasion. The speeches which they have made thus far are for the most part worthy of the speakers and of the theme. Lord GRANVILLE'S speech, which opened the first night's debate, was the model of gracious and graceful oratory, the Bishop of DERRY'S which closed it was the type of earnest eloquence. Few more conciliatory speeches have been ever heard than the first, few more heart-moving than the second. The speech of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY was, without being eloquent, practical. The speech of Lord CARNARVON was philosophical and states rpanlike in the highest degree. Lord HARROWBY is always a gentleman, and he did not forget his man ners in speaking on a subject which has deeply moved him and induced him to separate himself from his former friends. Throughout the debate there was a tone of moderation which contrasted remarkably with some of the speeches delivered in the Lower House. The "We can and we will "of Mr. LowE, the garrulous indignation of Colonel KNOX and Sir GEORGE JENKINSON, the inarticulate clamour of Mr. SYNAN, found no echo in the dignified assembly which is now the stage of so brilliant a scene. The address of the Peers all through were -worthy of that splendid oration with which Mr. GLADSTONE introduced the measure now under discussion to the Lower House. There was none of that exaggerated, inflated, angry rhetoric afterwards so abundant in the Commons, and which is now to be heard at the various hostile " demonstrations "in the provinces. There was not on the first night, at all events, any parallel to the denunciations with which Mr. MURPHY, Mr.MASSING IIAM, and sundry other excited spouters have made us familiar. It is, perhaps, to much to expect that the same high tone will be maintained throughout. An assembly which contains a WESTMEATH and a REDESDALE cannot expect .to escape altogether from inflated rhetoric. But what Lord GRANVILLE well House r:b ec o nsr f ow L do o ef r d ds saidSc i t u l o h n : f an w th it e ssa h true or thri: enough. r Hc House, tu,sne with the representatives of twhiiseth crowned heads and great republics, with galleries adorned by the fairest and most illustrious of that sex which, though nominally without influence in the political world, really has vast influence —such an assembly as that is not destined to speedy extinction—unless, we may add, it is guilty of some stupendous act of which we do not now anticipate. As the debate goes on it becomes less and less likely that the bill will be rejected. It is no secret that Lord DERBY has been greatly impressed by the large number of men among his own party who have refused to follow him in the course which he has so unwisely taken. lie cannot but feel that the judg ment of these men, who must hereafter 'be the leaders of the party, when his end has come, is worthy of deference and consideration, and he cannot but have doubts as to the fairness of exposing them to a rupture with their future followers, - The die i5-not yet cast, and there is reason to hope that it will not be at all. We should greatly prefer to see this stage of the bill settled without giving a victory to either party. We do not despair of seeing this happen. We shall not be surprised if, at the last moment, Lord DERBY yields to the representations of his less impetuous aud more prudent friends, and allows the bill to pass into committee without a division. THE Captive Balloon has got loose again. The member for Birmingham has escaped from the official ropes which held him down, and has soared aloft into the Radical empyrean, to the amaze ment of the spectators and the alarm of his friends. In all seriousness, this last escapade of the PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE i 5 no laughing matter, and it will tax all Lord GRANVILLE'S exquisite courtesy and consummate savoir faire to explain it away. We have reached the most critical week that we have had for many a year. No prudent prophet will venture to affirm positively that the two Houses of the Legis lature will not be brought into perilous collision, or that in another week the wire-pullers who move the mob will not have given the word for an agitation throughout the kingdom, not merely against the Irish Church, but against the House of Lords. Yet at this crisis Mr. BRIGHT addresses a letter to his constituents so stimulating that it would have exposed him to grave censure if he had been simply member for Birmingham, and is doubly censurable now that he is President of the Board of Trade. In about two dozen lines he says that the Lords, if they throw out the bill, will be infatuated ; which may be true, but is scarcely a seemly statement in the mouth of a Cabinet Minister : that a good many people will ask what is the value of a Constitution which gives a majority of 100 in one House for a given policy, and a majority of 100 in the other House against it, which may also come to pass, though it is not for him to accelerate it : he is, satirical about the " childish tinkering " of the Life Peerage Bill, which satire is not altogether undeserved, though, consi dering that the original tinker is no less a person than Earl RUSSELL, prudence should have suggested the erasure of that sarcasm : and, worse than all, he insinuates that the " accidents not pleasant for them to think of" which will befall the Lords if they reject the bill will happen also if they do not reject it, but will be delayed, perhaps, for many years. Now, there are proper ways of saying a thing, and proper persons to say it. It is fitting enough for Lord SALISBURY and Lord CARNARVON to warn their peers that they incur great danger by opposing the popular will. It is fitting enough for indepen dent journalists to utter the same warning, in the hope of preventing a result which they would lament. It is not fitting for a Minister of the Crown to hold up a great body of the State even to hypothetical contempt, nor to inflame the popular excitement by pungent epigrams. Heaven knows, Mr. BRIGHT'S constituents needed no such stimulus as this letter of his. Monday night saw such a scene of turmoil at the Birmingham Town Hall as has been rarely witnessed; turmoil, however, that would be stillness itself compared with the uproar that will arise if the contingency which Mr. Bus GHT contemplates should actually happen. Those of us who do not want a revolution every other year have a fair right to com plain of such incentives as this. We want to see the great question now before the country settled peaceably. We fully admit the right of those who oppose it to make their voices heard. We think them wrong, we sear that they will suffer damage if they go beyond a certain point, but we are not going to stigmatise them as fools because they do not all at once look with favour upon a measure that necessarily does violence to some of their most cherished traditions. The duty of the states man at this moment is to warn, no doubt, but also to moderate ; to tell the crew of the State ship that they will find breakers ahead if they pursue a certain course, but not to sneer at the officers or bully the men. There is need of suavity as well as of forti tude, of sweetness as well as of light. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. 4. - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A RIOTOUS CASUAL.—Robert Watson, a rough-looking felinw, was charged before Mr. Tytwhitt with committing wilful damage at St. James's Workhouse. From the evidence of Henry Cobbett, porter at the workhouse, it appeared that the prisoner went to the work house the previous evening in a state of intox:cation, and making use of very bad language, demanded admission; and as ha was not admitted ho broke ten panes of glass and damaged two Venetian blinds. He was then given into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the pri soner had several times been relieved at the workhouse. - 31r. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to pay 205., tho amount of the damage, and a fine of 205., or to bo com mitted for a month. . _ UNPROVOKED ASSALILT.—Richard Eplett, a SIRUP of No. 5, South Wharf-road, Paddington, was charged before Police-constable Smith, Mnr.ETßy.rwhitt, w ith assaulting The prisoner, while in Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square, pushed against the constable, who, not wishing to have an alto= ition with him, walked away, but prisoner then kicked him in the shins and struck him, and it was only through the adroitness of the constable that he was not injured for life. The prisoner said he was sorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. LATEST INTELL WINCE I SFUUT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (REU"'ER'S TELEGRAM :3.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, June 15.

The Times thinks it is not ca -ly to treat the rejection of the Irish Church Bill as being any longer a practical ques tion. After the speeches of the Archbishop of Canter bury and Lord Stratford do Redcliffe on Monday, and Lord Grey's argument on Tuesday night, followed by a declaration from the Duke of Richmond that he could not support Lord Harrowby's amendment, not to mention equally sure though less tangible indications of opinion in other quarters, it may be assumed that the second reading will be carried by a sufficient majority. Lord Grey's history of the Irish Church question, from the conception of the Appropriation Clause, convinced his hearers how impossible it was that an opinion which had gradually swelled in volume in the way lie described could ever ebb, and his conclusion, that the rejection of the bill could only result in bringing the Lords into discredit by subjecting them to the compulsion of passing it without power of amendment a month or two hence, was felt to be irrefra gable. The debate in the House of Lords will evidently sustain the high character of the Upper Chamber as a school of oratory ; but it will do more than this, for it will exhibit once again the moderation and patriotism of its members. It is infinitely to the credit of a House possessing privileges so vast, and in theory, at least, unchecked by any feeling of personal responsibility, that so many of its men►ber.4 should have resolved to submit their own opinions and preferences to the national judgment, and should remain unshaken in their resolution in spite of the injurious language in which they have Leen assailed. The vote of Saturday morning will be delivered upon a judicial consideration of the arguments in favour of the measure, based upon its own provisions and the judgment of the nation at the hustings, and the dignity of the Upper house will be maintained and its authority strengthened when it is seen that no provocation has been sufficient to induce the majority of the Peers to place temselves in sullen antagonism to the decision of the people. The Daily News thinks that not the least admirable part of the Bishop of St. David's speech was his con futation, from Hebrew and Christian history, and from the broad moral principles which are at the root of both, of the cry of sacrilege which is raised against the Application of the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland to purposes of mercy. The same cry, as he reminded or informed the House, was raised against St. Ambrose whom be sold the sacred vessels of the Church at Milan, for the purpose of redeeming captives from slavery. The service of humanity is the service of God ; and the Bishop contended that Miss Burdett Coutts, in giving a market-place to the poor people of Bethnal-green, was doing as religious au act as Sir Benjamin Guinness performed in lavishing is wealth on the restoration and adornment of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, These are truths as old as the Church, if not as old as human nature ; but they are apt to be forgotten in ecclesiastical warfare. They come with more force from episcopal than from lay lips; and thus Dr. Thirlwall has done a public service in uttering them. The Bishop of St. David's, like most men of his age and training, would have preferred, if it had been practicable, the policy of levelling up to that of levelling down ; but he sees that the abolition of religious inequality in Ireland can be obtained now only in the way in which the Government Bill seeks it. Desiring the end, he accepts the inevitable means. The Bishop has the courage of his opinions. He rebuked those who, when a great issue is at stake, instead of manfully siding with one or other of the two contending parties, stand aloof in selfish seclusion. Ills censure and example will we trust, convert waverers. If it has this effect, there can be no doubt of the fate of Lord Harrowby's resolu tion. But be the immediate issue what it may, the Bishop's speech stands out in the debate as a model of deliberative eloquence and of Christian statesmanship, and will add a new honour to the scholarly name of Con.' nop Thiriwall. The Standard says that there are two assumptions in Lord Grey's remarkable speech, which granted, the con• elusion is irrefragable. The first is, that the voice of the country has conclusively approved the proposed plan for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church ; the second, that in throwing out the bill the Lords would negative that decision. On the question, whether this be so or not, hangs, it seems to us, the question whether or not the Peers can safely throw out the bill. If, on the whole, the country is against them, they must clearly submit sooner or later ; and they could probably make better terms before than after a de feat. The other question is, what the rejection of the bill would mean. Lord Grey seems to imply that it would convey a declaration that the Irish Church should be maintained intact, or nearly so. On the other hand, as the Ministerialists maintain that by reading the bill a second time the Lords would prechrle themselves from questioning the policy of total disendowment, it would seem that by rejecting the second reading they only con demn the mode and extent to which that policy has been carried out. The question is, as we have said before, a very grave one; and the authority of Lord Grey and others who have spoken on the same side is deservedly high. But while the Government give no assurance of their willingness to listen to terns, while their organs have never retracted the significant warning 3 they have repeatedly uttered that no attempt to save for the Church any portion of her endowments would be tolerated, while the second person in the Cabinet openly taunts and insults, ridicules and menaces the Upper House, it is impossible that counsels of moderation should have the weight which is due to them. Schemes of compromise imply concession on both sides ; and in this case one side has distinctly pro claimed that it will yield nothing. if the Government will not withdraw or repudiate that declaration, on them and on them alone will rest the responsibility for all the mischiefs which Lord Grey anticipates from the collision between the two Houses, to which as yet all things appear The herald is o' opinion that it is. very much to be desired before the debate on the Irish Church Bill is brought to a close, so far as the motion for the second reading is concerned, the Government shall be required to state distinctly in what sense the House of Lords is to interpret the assurance of Lord Granville that amend ments from the Opposition side of the House will receive the careful and respectful consideration of the Ministry. The experience gained from the attitude of Mr. Gladstone and his supporters in the House of Commons warrants the as sumption that there is no disposition whatever to con cede one inch to the fair requirements of the friends of the Irish Church. It is the more necessary that some such explanation should be forthcoming, because it is quite evident from the tone of the Primate's speech on Monday, and from those of Earl Grey and the Duke of Richmond on Tuesday night, that votes may be influenced by what there is too much reason to fear will prove an utter delusion. We are not prepared to deny, for instance, that the attitude of the Conservative party might be materially modified if the Government were to declare themselves prepared to accept the amendments sketched out by the Archbishop of Canterbury. But we cannot forget that in substance they have already been rejected in the House of Commons, and that we have thus far not an atom of warrant for the assumption that they will meet with a more favourable reception if they are commended to the Government by the vote of the Peers. The Star is indignant at the criticisms on Mr. Bright's letter to the Birmingham meeting. As if everybody who thinks about politics at all did not know before Mr. Bright's letter, as well as they know now, that if the Peers throw themselves athwart the course of the nation, " they may meet with accidents not pleasant for them to think of." If the Lords assent to the second reading, it will be exactly to avoid that of which Mr. Bright fore warns them, in saying that " they will stimulate discus sion on important questions which, but for their infatu tion, might have slumbered for many years." Why, that is the hidden meaning of the whole of this week's debate. Is it not childish to ask us all to discuss a question of this rank with bated breath? If Mr. 13right's career means oni t ling more unmistakably than another, it is that politics are best handled with freedom and manliness and common sense. Mr. Bright has never said anything more contumelious of the Upper House than is implied in the tone of those who presume to rebuke him. His letter is declared to be rash, provoking, and mis chievous. Why? Because its frank statement of the difficulties in which the Peers bid fair to place themselves may so pique them, that out of pique—that is to say, out of the meanest of all known sentiments— they will throw over a bill which otherwise they would have passed. Mr. Bright says that it is possible for a Chamber like the House of Lords, throwing it self athwart the wishes of a nation, to meet with unpleasant accidents. And this is the very consideration which Tory writers frankly admit will pass the bill, if it be passed. Finally, Mr. Bright recog nises the good and wise men who are among the peers, and hopes that their counsels may prevail. Are not most of us hoping for exactly this? The actual contents of the letter, then, must be accepted by everyone whose opinion is worth having ; and it is mere childishness to urge that because a statesman is a Minister he is bound to press his finger on his lips, lest anybody to whom he may speak the truth should think himself bullied. If people are living in a Fool's Paradise, the kindest thing either in a Cabinet Minister or anybody else is to awaken them. The Post imagines that Mr. Bright can scarcely be aware of the degree in which such an exhibition as this tends to shew the public that a professing Liberal may be a bigot of a worse type than the Tory of tradition, or than a blatant Orangeman, and that there may be loud voiced advocates of freedom to whom general liberty is foOlishness and a stumbling,.block.

"Where are tue people ?" everyone who did go down to Westminster to see the peers arrive at the Houses of Parliament was asking last night. And where wes the enthusiasm? Did the " Radical rough," who shoved in such force last session, know that this was the first night of the great debate ? And the Orangeman ! why, ke belied his very characteristics, and, leaving his spirits at home, searched in vain for his voice when his favourites passed by. Earl Spencer, riding, be it noted, on horsebacle, passed along Parliament-street, and through the Palace Yard, here and there recognised it is true, but with notes so feeble, so ashamed of themselves, as they fell almost as soon as they were raised, that the only conclusion to be drawn was that the early rain had damped the spirit of the peoPle• And what an effort it was which gave anything like e ' hearty cheer to the Earl of Derby, who, arriving with two ladies, passed between the lines of people gathered inWest minister Hall ! Though, after all, there seas a ring of encouragement in the voices of the assembled crowd, for they evidently tried to overcome political coolness, to get up the steam, and chew that they meant well, notwithstanding that circumstances were again st them. Perhaps loyalty did not want "getting up," f ° , the people knew the Prince of Wales, sc u cheered hint heart and voice as he passed. The Duke of Cambridge, too, was greeted cordially. In fac t ' anyone who was not political, who had no distinct connec tion with the question which these well-dressed gentlemen were arriving to discuss, were given to understand that they were objects of public sympathy. Notably a quie tl Y . dressed, elderly lady, whom people said wa s the Mar" chioness of Beaconsfield, was lustily and enthusiastically cheered. One could go inside the House in better temper after the reception which was given to her, and the ‘ lll ' comfortably dull feeling passed off somewhat. And the House never presented a gayer appearance than last evening. The peeresses were in the fullest P° P sible force, and, with the exception of a brie f space re. served for Mr. Motley and his suite, the whole Galles,' was lined and crowded with the rank and beauty ssa England. The top of the canopy over the Throne was cupied with ladies, who were content to peer throng° trelliswork at the magnificent spectacle around them. 310 st of the leading statesmen from the other House put in 1° appearance during the evening, and the steps of the Throne were always crowded with notable, if not noble, spectatore' So great was the throng that the entrance of the most d s hr tinguished peers could scarcely be observed, and even tue Prince of Wales had to elbow his way to his seat. On l/ the bishops looked cool and comfortable, as the space reserved for lawn sleeves is more than sufficient now that so many prelates are disabled, and unable to attend evea on an occasion which they naturally regard as all - ig l P °l- tant to them. Lord Granville had a diffic ult task t° perform, for the prevailing feeling and atmosp here of place was dead against him. It was positively cruuet . of his supporters to allow him to rise witho a single cheer. Through a silence like tha t of the Dead Sea his voice was heard as he rose to move the second reading of the Irish Church Bill. B ut his openi.e! sentences were well delivered, and with that q uiet diguiti of which he is so perfect a master. The House, however, was not impressed—it would not be impr essed —and when Lord Granville was compelled to have reco urse to his note_seo it was unmistakably bored. It mist, however, h admitted that the unpleasant and diffic ult duty of i n tro: clueing the bill into an unwilling assemb l y Was performedin a very cred manner. the Lord Harrowby itable did not much revive the spirits of t he House in moving the rejection of the bill. And while lie was telling about the relations of the Government to bir d ' Dillon, several of the noble lords quietly withdrew an went home to dine. More still left hi m and his argurneeit while he was declaiming vigorously about the details of the measure as being those marked out "long, long ego" 11 g r.

The Foreign Secretary bad 1001,e, but le solemn and anxious enough all the evening ; tone of his speech was confident, and when he sa t d°ls and the House began to empty, cheer fulness had spread t; both sides.

This (Wednesday) morning Captain Shaw re• ported to the Metropolitan Board of Works that during the previous night five fires had taken place. One was at 7, Ladbroke-terrace, Notting bill, which was attended with a considerable loss of pro perty. It commenced in a range of stabling 40 ft. long and 20 broad, belonging Mr. G. Ulla thorne. In the course of a few minutes the building presented a huge sheet of flame, and the fire quickly extended to two rooms used as dwelling houses as well as to the lofts over. The engines and fire escapes promptly attended, but the flames could not be extinguished until the whole of the buildings before enumerated were burned out, and the stables below and stores severely damaged by fire and water. The disaster was caused by some straw falling upon a gas light. Mr.lUllathorne was insured in the Sun fire-office. A fire also happened in the South District Relief-office, Glengall-road, Millwall. It commenced from some unknown cause in the waiting-room, and had obtained a firm hold of the flooring and joisting. The engines of the brigade and the fire escapes having arrived, the firemen succeeded in quickly subduing the flames. A fire also broke out on the premises I of Mr. C. Ilarrison, a confectioner, No. 5, Mill. street, East-road, City-road. When discovered at half-past one this morning the flames were raging furiously in the lower Rat. of the building, and the inmates were in their beds asleep. They were for tunately aroused in time to effect their escape in safety. The land steam fire-engines by Shand, Mason, and Co., were early in arriving, and plenty of water being at hand the firemen went to work, but were unable to get the flames assu4ged until the premises and contents were partially destroyed.

ROBBERY OF STORES ON BOARD SRIP.—John Henry Hughes, aged 16 years . , Henry John Schofield, 16, and Charles Edwin Fry, 19, were charged with stealing 401bs. of leaf tobacco, two dozen bottles of ale, a tin of biscuits, a gall,n of lime juice, and a pint jar of jam, value in all £l2 ss, from a store room in the ship Donald I.l‘lia.y in the Victoria Dock. _ Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. The tobacco and other articles were in bond in the stores on board the Donald M'Kay, and under customs lock and key. The prisoners had been at work on the Donald M' ay, and had managed to obtain access to the stores and purloin them. After they had committed the robbery they comm _need talking about it, and the principal evi dence was what they had furnished against themselves. Schofield asked a witness named Thomas if he would have a cake of tobacco. From the store room in the after part of the vessel where the tobacco was kept two cases were missing. There were three deposited there and two were missing. Tobacco was found on all the prisoners. It was similar to that missing. A police-constable named Geo. Higgins, 201 K, charged Hughes with stealing cavendish tobacco, and he said he had had a cake of it from Scho field. Mr. Charles Young asked for a remand, and said pro perty in bond for the Crown had been stolen, and the case was one of considerable importance. The magistrate acceded to the request of tliu solicitor, and remanded all the prisoners for a week. EXPORTS OF CATTLE FROM BELGIUM.—From the report of Mr. Wyndham, Secretary of Legation in Belgium, it appears that in the first five months of 1868, 22,819 head of cattle were exported from that country. This was a large increase on the exports during the same periods in 1867 and 1866. 19,971 head of the exports were sent to France. The export of sheep from Belgium to other countries was also on the increase. Butter forms a large staple of the trade between Belgium and England ; the amount exported in the first five weeks of 1868 to England was 4,000,0001 b. Rabbits, poultry, and game are sent almost exclusively to England.— Chamber of Agriculture Journal.
