LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS Y) SHERIFFS' COURT. PRINTERS AND MACHINE BOYS.-IMPORTANT DECISION, Plaintiff is a machine boy, and defendant a master printer. The action was brought to recover 12s. wages stopped, and 7s. 6d., one week's wages, in lieu'of notice. Defendant pleaded on the first occasion that by the rules of the trade plaintiff was not entitled to notice, and that as to the 12s. plaintiff had been fined that amount for breaking a form. His Honour adjourned the case for consideration, and this morning said he had consulted two printers of great standing in the trade, and they are both positive upon one point—the machine boy is entitled to a week's notice. Mr. Danks—Then as to the 12s. ? His Honour—You must show negligence on the part of the boy. If he wilfully or negligently broke a form con taining type, you would be justified in dismissing him on the spot, and stopping all his wages. Plaintiff—l couldn't help breaking the form, and no type was spilt. His Honour—A great many people employ wretched little girls as servants, and these wretched little girls break plats. That caso applies here. You, Mr. Banks, employ little boys as machine boys, and then forms are broken. There is no negligence shown here, and plaintiff must have a verdict for the whole amount. THE PANIC IN THE LEATHER TRAM-ISRAEL V. OSTLER In this case, in which plaintiff recovered a verdict for a sum of £2O 18s. for certain hides supplied to defendants, Mr. Ford moved for a new trial, on the grounds that the verdict was against evidence, that his Honour had misap prehended the law, and surprise. His Honour ruled that upon the first ground defendants could not apply. Upon the second defendants could appeal, and as to surprise there was not much in it. A long argument ensued, in which Mr. Ford, Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, and his Honour took part, Mr. Ford contended that the market value of the hides was the principal ingredient in the matter, and that defend ants had allowed plaintiff a fair market value. His Honour was of opinion that upon the failure of Messrs. Streitfield and Co., the salesmen were afflicted with an unreasonable panic, and sold at any price, and a panic value was not a quantum market value. Mr. Buchanan urged that the verdict was in accordance with the evidence, and his honour refused the application, giving plaintiff costs and defendants leave to appeal. POLICE INTELLIGBNCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SELLING SPIRITS WITHOUT A LICENSE.--ASSAULT ON A POLICE INSPECTOR.—Peter Ward Hebblethwaite, chan dler shop-keeper, and Bridget Hebblethwaite, his wife, were charged with selling spirits (rum) without a license ; and the female was further charged with assaulting In spector Webb, of the C division, &c. _ The defendants were fined .L 25 each, or three months' im prisonment in default, DARING ROBBERY AT TIIE STEPNEY STATION OF THE BLACYWALL RAILWAY.—John Cannon, a tall man, about 23 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch, value £7, from the person of Mr. John Lowe, fishmonger, of No. 3, Northampton-place, Holloway. Mr. Beard, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that between eight and nine o'clock he was at the Stepney station, making his way with others towards the North London train, which had just arrived, and in the rush that took place the prisoner got before him, and he felt his watch drawn from his pocket. He seized the prisoner by the arm, held him, and struggled with him. The prisoner ran away at great speed along the platform and fell over it. An officer followed the prisoner, who got up and looked over the wall of the railway, and also put his hand over. Directly afterwards the prisoner was secured. Mr. Beard cross-examined the prosecutor in a very in genious manner. Mr. Lowe said ho came to the conclusion that the prisoner stole his watch, because ho stood in front of him, and because his face was close to his own, and there was no other one near him. Mr. Beard—You think so. Witness—And I think rightly too. Mr. Beard—You are jumping at conclusions. Witness—And a right conclusion too. He stole my watch. Now, sir, I contend— Mr. Beard—l won't argue with you. Did he not run in common with others when the train arrived. Witness—Yes ; but he ran before, and the others ran behind me. He looked over the.wall and threw my watch away. Mr. Beard—You have got th et in your mind. 3Witness—And you won't get it out of my mind. Geergo Barry, a railway constable, said that the prisoner was brought to him, and he afterwards looked for the pro secutor's watch, which he found on the roof of a shop in the rear of the premses of Mr. Pearce, shirt maker. It was open and the glass was broken. Mr. Pearce's shop was below the railway, and right opposite the place where the prisoner looked over the wall. The prisoner cut his knees and hands severely when he fell. Mr. Beard said there was % only a case of suspicion against the prisoner. _ MaGAZINES. Blackwood's Magazine. Mr—Selfe said ho intended to' commit the prisoner for trial, but on the intercession of Mr. Beard, consented to deal with the case summarily, and on the prisoner plead ing guilty he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. If we wanted a proof that the personal animosity and bitter vindictiveness of party feeling it es in great measure died out among us, it would be afforded by the opening paper in 111a0A. It is a criti cism on the political career o f Si r Robert Peel, in this old established organ of the party who so long looked up to him as its leader and whose ranks he finally disorganised. The days of those contentions and the bitterness of feeling that attended them, have long since passed away. It is as an eminent. English statesman, as one of the recognised chiefs in our Parliamentary history of modern times, that; his career is discussed, and his character analysed in the paper before us. Founded on - Sir Lawrence Peel's recent memoir of his distinguished relative, it gives us a brief outline of the rise of the family to wealth and honour, and of the early training which shaped the future Premier's tastes and habits. The effects of his education were apparent, in the opinion of the writer, through all his later life. The younger Pitt was held up before him as the model of a statesman, especially with regard to commercial and financial questions. " It was the spirit of Pitt's commercial policy which mainly chimed in with the opinions of the success ful manufacturer; and this he did his best to im plant deeply on the mind of this son. Without doubt, the seed thus sown never lost its vitality. For many years after his entrance into public life, Peel seemed to be carried away by the tide, which had set in strong in favour of a protective system. But if ever the real history of the man comes to be written, it will doubtleFs appear that even then he distrusted the wisdom of the course which he was pursuing." In other respects, however, the critic considers his training to have been productive of more harm than good. It encouraged the re serve and restrained manner which was afterwards complained of by his party. "He became so much of a casuist also that even as a boy he could never arrive at a conclusion till he had passed in array before his mind's eye all the reasons against as well as for the object proposed to him." Of his oratory we find the following description :—" He gained ground from day to day in reputation as an admi nistrator, and began by degrees to take his proper place in that House of Commons which was by-and bye to become his world. Not that the House of Commons ever accounted him a great orator. His skill in debate was, perhaps, unrivalled; but in his best days as a speaker, he fell far behind Canning, Tierney, Windham, Plunkett, and Brougham, and these and many more long overshadowed him by their eloquence. For Peel had not a scintilla of genius, His style was diffuse and laboured ; his best thoughts always seemed to be overlaid with words ; and his three courses degenerated at last into the merest mannerism. What he did not receive from inspiration, however, he managed to acquire by diligence and close attention to details." The essay is written throughout with a moderation of tone and absence of prejudice that are highly commend able. The writer is evidently one thoroughly con versant with his subject, and familiar with the inner life of Cabinets and parties at the eventful epoch he refers to. He has been. actuated by a fair and painstaking spirit, and has accomplished his task as a whole with discrimination and candour. As an evidence of his appreciation of the lamented statesman's intrinsic merits we quote some of the concluding paragraphs : seen in the shade of its splendours, but they are not owing to the splendours. The great Shakespear, the great Newton, the great Goethe, were not little men because they too had their littlenesses; nor were these littlenesses in any sense the product of their greatness. And if the trembling sensibility, which is one of the conditions of genius, makes a man more accessible to certain temp tations, it makes . him also more accessible to moral influences, so that, in point of fiiet, the history of men of genius is on the whole remarkably noble and pure. The curiosity naturally felt about everything concerning men of genius leads to the publication of all their errors and shortcomings; but who can doubt -that a similar scrutiny of the lives of groce-rs would yield a much blacker catalogue of errors ? The vices of illustrious men arc cried out from the housetops, but whb troubles himself about the vices of blockheads? Our conclusion, then, is briefly this : genius is health and strength, not disease and weakness ; it is sanity and virtue, not insanity and vice. The man of genius may be sickly and vicious ; butbe is s o b y reason of a sickly body and a vacillating will ; not by any means because, with this body and this will, he also possesses a splendid in tellect. Norman Sinclair" is continued in its usual style, and there are also attractive papers on King Arthur of the Round Table, and the gloomy re miniscences associated with the Tower of London. Fraser's Magazine. There is considerable variety apparent in Fraser's table of contents this month. It opens with the first chapters of a new story, entitled " Ida Con way," which•promises some degree of interest. A Manchester Man contributes a lengthened paper on "Hymns and Hymn Tunes for Congregational Wor ship," which contains much sense. The writer strongly supports the system of congr ega ti ona l singing in preference to the monopoly of vocal per formance by the choir, dwelling on its manifest ad vantages in securing the sympathy of the people and promoting devotional feeling. We are told an amusing anecdote of a church in Durham which rejoiced in an unusually good choir. A stranger one day attending the church joined in the hymn. " Stop, sir, stop," exclaimed the fat sexton, wad dling up to him, "we do all the singing here our selves, sir." The " Manchester Man" who writes the article refers to the skill and taste for music so prevalent in the Lancashire manufacturing districts, and his suggestions are many of them full of sense and practical benefit. Mr. Latrobe's instructions for suitable eongregational singing would be well borne in mind by those on whom devolve the selec tion of hymns and tunes. " Upon every tune offered to a Christian congregation in the church of God let there be impressed as with a signet, gravity, majesty, melody, harmony. Gravity—to bow the spirit in reverence and forbid the sacrifice of fools. Majesty—to remind the singer of the character of that God whose high praise is upon his lip. Melody —to entice the ear of the hearer, and take even his wandering affections by guile; and harmony— to embrace the varying tones of a mixed multitude, and on the instant breathe into them one spirit of concord and peace. Such unquestionably is the character of the old church tune." Whether some of its modern successors possess all these attributes may be perhaps doubted ; but we are glad to see the subject gravely considered and fairly discussed. The Catholic and the Dissenting services both owe much to the attractions of their music; the one from its artistic excellence, the other from the prac tice of congregational singing, and we see no rea son why this part of our Church service should not occupy a worthier position in our parish churches. As the writer before us observes, " We should re joice to see our church music and hurnology studied and improved more and more, not with the object of inculcating special doctrines or further ing sectional views, but with the broad catholic purpose of enlarging religious feeling, diffusing healthy enjoyment amoug our people, uniting class with class, and preparing our congregations here to join in the grand hallelujah hereafter." " A Story of 1848-9," is a melanctloly record of the disappointed hopes,' the baffled ambition, and vain endeavours of the brave band of Lombard volun teers.. Their tale was told with vivid and mourn ful interest by Count Emilio Dandolo, one of the prominent actors in the events he chronicles, whose brief career was closed by a lingering disease at Milan, last spring, just as he had once more begun to hope in the future of his beloved country. Mr. Alexander Baia contributes a lengthened paper on the propensities, examined according to phrenological th eor i es , which will inte rest those who turn their attention to physiological studies. " Gryll Grange" proceeds in its accustomed strain, full of curious research, and not without interest in the characters of the tale, though the plot is not the most probable. An able paper on, Mr. Kingsley's "Miscellanies," recently published, takes a very just view of the general scope and tendency of his writings, and considers he has done good ser vice by his labours in literature. The influence which he exercises over his readers is, the critic considers, " due to the singular felicity with which he combines the highest degree of zeal consistent with clear judgment, and the highest degree of judgment consistent with ardent zeal. A little more heat and he would be a rash, injudicious ad vocate ; a little more light and he would scarcely be an advocate at all. He is a partisan and not a philosopher, but his partisanship is of the most in telligent and independent kind." The critic ad dresses himself rather to a consideration of Mr. Kingsley's general gifts and achievements as a writer than to the analysis of any particular work. We have further on an interesting paper by "A man on the shady side of fifty," describing France and Paris at the different epochs of forty, thirty, and twenty years since. His reminiscences are curious, and it will interest the reader to com pare the different stages. There are, however, so many points left unnoticed or slightly touched upon that we are not surprised at the announcement of an additional paper, which is to supply deficiences. The "Chronicle of Current History," a new feature in this magazine, is continued in a condensed form and moderate spirit. It would be too much to speak of him as one of Eng land's greatest statesmen. He possessed little originality , of mind, and no genius. But he was painstaking, able, in dustrious, unprejudiced, honest in the best sense of that term, and incapable of meanness. In spite of the pains which were taken to settle his opinions in early life, he seems never to have wholly surrendered his own judgment to that of others. Indeed, his nature was one of those which mature themselves very slowly, and are therefore open to the charge, often very ill-founded, of having no fixed principles to guide them. How gradual, yet how steady, were the advances which he made towards the adoption of those views of commercial policy which are now everywhere in the ascendant. How, by little and little, the conviction seems to have dawned upon him that men's religious opinions ought not of themselves to present any impediment to their possession of political power. Yet no man of his age cared more for the wellbeing of the working classes ; and it would be to do him groat wrong were we to question his firm attachment to the doctrines and discipline of the Church of England. Peel's defects were those of temperament merely. He was constitutionally shy and proud. He could neither give nor receive unshackled familiarity. His manner was not a pleasant one, either in the House of Commons or anywhere else. He had many admirers, therefore, but few friends. Still he was a man of whom, with all his shortcomings, Eng land has cause to be proud ; and whose name will go down to posterity among the ablest and most disinterested of those who have taken the lead in the management of her affairs. " The Roman6e of Agostino" is the title of a new story whose first instalment promises an elaborate plot. It is called " a true story of modern Rome," and true and false heirs, and withheld birthrights, are already its prominent features. Leaving these mysteries we come to an admirable article bearing the singular title of " Great Wits, Mad `'Nits"?" founded, as the reader may guess, on Pope's celebrated line " Great wits to madness nearly are allied," a theory which it succeeds in triumphantly refuting. It appears that a French writer, physician to the Hospice de Bicetre has recently published a work setting forth the theory that "the pre-eminence of the intellectual faculties has for its organic condition a special state of disease of the nervous centres." The humiliating theory con tained in this somewhat involved statement is analysed, discussed, and effectually disposed of in the article before us. M. Moreau, the author of the work in question, seems to regard genius as arising from the same mental or nervous constitu tion which in other cases produces insanity. " We cannot admit," says the critic in confuting this dogma, " that the strength and energy of the mind are referable to the same causes as its weakness and incoherence. To suppose that Shakespere was • nearly akin to an inhabitant of Hanwell is about treasonable as to consider the Benicia Boy an Tom Sayers pathological cases. The energy of genius is strength, not disease. It may, like ' vaulting ambition, o'erleap itself.' The intellect May be overtasked and succumb, but so likewise may the athlete•overtask his strength and come home with a broken back." The long list of examples which M. Moreau brings forward to support his assertion do not prove much, seeing" that if a member • of a celebrity's family has been afflicted with blindness, apoplexy, or paralysis, he points to the fact as ample evidence of a pre disposition to mental disease. But, as his critic justly argues, if all his facts were as indisputable as the cases of Tasso and Cowper, they would not war rant his deduction. They might prove that many man of genius had been predisposed to insanity, but not that their genius' owed its origin to that piedisposition. The excitability often apparent in highly gifted natures, and general among the in sane, appears to be the only foundation for M. Moreau 's absurd theory; but that the excitement is of a totally different kind, that thousands are extravagantly excitable who are in no way re markable for intellectual preeminence, that a high order of talent often accompanies a calm and collected manner, are truths appa rent on the surface to any reflecting mind. As is truly observed in the essay before us, " If a few great men have fallen victims to the facility with which the nervous mechanism may be dis turbed, men who have had nothing great have like wise fallen victims by thousands. In this age of incessant exertion and mental high-pressure how many have have sunk beneath disease and exhaus tion brought on by a constant strain on their nerves and faculties, by a total disregard of the inexorable laws of health which exact so stern a penalty from the offender, who under no circum stances could have claimed the pre-eminence of genius. Which of us has not known men, highly educated and of respectable capacity, but devoid of a particle of the divine " afflatus," who have fallen sacrifices to an artificial state of existence, and an incessant strain on the nervous energy. " Overwork and unseemly neglect kill the meanest as inevitably as the highest. It is a tragedy which is no respecter of persons, and darkens a thousand homes which are never brightened by a ray of genius." The venerable age attained by many of humanity's great intellectual luminaries would of itself suffice to refute the theory of a diseased organism. We have in our own day seen some illustrious examples, for it must be re membered that not poets and enthusiasts alone, but all who are remarkable for " pre-eminence of the intellectual faculties" are included in this assertion. An assertion so humiliating to the human intellect, so derogatory to the dignity of the great names who are the admiration and veneration of succeed ing ages, is indeed untenable and untrue, and the ability, the logic, and the clearness wi th which the writer of the essay before us gathers up the argu_ ments which are current on this subject, and seve rally disposes of them, will be most gratifying to all who rightly appreciate one of the Creator's best gift s and of mankind's most serious responsibilities. In conclusion, the author t urns to another f a ll acy current on this subject—the indifference t o m i nor morals supposed to be inseparable from genius. This immunity to mo ral obli g a tions claimed some times on their beha lf b y the fri ends as well a s th e enemies of geniu s receives no m ercy at h i s hands. He scorns the idea of " a direct connection between splendid talent s and en g a gements broken, trusts violated or bills unpaid," and finds the reason for such moral delinquency in the weakness of the con science, not the strength of the intellect. His re marks, in conclusion, are so just that we cannot forbear quoting them Men of genius are said to be by nature improvident. It ma y be so : biography too often seems to sayl is o thousands who hay s no genius are uiteal isßu g improvident; and it is never i n v i r t ue of his genius that an man is so. Human nature is human nature, and its infmnities may be ' Bentley's Miscellany. The " Outremanche Correspondence" is con tinued in its usual amusing strain. It takes for its heading this month the old Norman proverb " Ce qui Tient de flot s'en retourne de maree," which the writer illustrates by the present state of affairs in general. The session just expired he considers should be remembered in future times as the Peckniff Parliament, owing to its resemblance to the horse Of that immortal worthy, who was always going to de great things, but somehow never accomplished his magnificent promises. " E very thi ng , " says M . Victor Gouache, " that was to operate for the gene ral weal was predicted for the year 1860. Public burdens were to be removed, obnoxious taxes sup pressed, reforms of law and of representation ac complished —a political millennium was at hand. And - what has been the result of all these fine flourishes? Absolute and unmitigated disappoint ment. Not a single measure has been passed of all that were promised." Leaving the remainder of M. Gonache's amusing gossip we come to a tale from the prolific pen of " Ouida." This month there is really some variety in the story. The scene is laid in France, and a mystery is ingeniously interwoven with the tale which goes deeper than practical jokes or lovers' quarrels. Still the style is somewhat diffuse, and if the author could con trive to pourtray a hero of another type, not quite so much favoured by the world's approval and his own good opinion, divided between scornful e.asso ciation with men and contemptuous civility to wards productions wards women, the change would certainly be Lys and re freshing.

There are also papers on "Rome and Naples" and " Natural History." The New Monthly Magazine. A lengthened paper on " Italy ; her Friends and Foes," is the first to greet the reader in this number, and discusses the great question of the day in its varying aspects. The writer justly remarks, in conclusion, that the French Emperor can easily, if he choose, furnish us with a practical proof of his sincerity by withdrawing his troops from Rome, which will leave the road clear for the natural se quence of events. If he truly understands the signs of the times, says the writer, he will grant Garibaldi unimpeded action. " Surely if twenty millions of united Italians cannot oblige Austria to some amicable settlement, they do not deserve ex traneous support." Whether our Imperial a 1 17! friendly professions and pa c ifi c i n t en tions "a!' stand so severe a test may be reasonably.. doubtbei, though the truth of the suggestion is iFdlspo.ta 1.. The interesting story of " East Lynne" vs continued, and recurs to the murder of Hallij oh n. The suspicions of those interested iu the discovery rest upon Captain Thorn, but we apprehend that the evil genius of Ladyb en Isabel , concerned in it. s Francis L evir N is on will be found to have Nathaniel thanidi in his " Notes on Note Worthies" discusses the gifted and daring, but excentric and extravagant reformer Savonarola, the Florentine monk, who was the chief personage in Italy at the close of the fifteenth century. Mrs. Bushby's tale of " The Belles of the Island" is brought to a conclusion', which is somewhat melancholy. The voyage to England, which Helen Thornley had so long eagerly anticipated, is productive of the greatest distress, for her husband is recognised by an old associate as having been implicated in a forgery and murder committed many years before. He is tried and condemned, and suffers the extreme penalty of the law. His heart-broken wife dies on the voyage back to Jamaica, leaving her orphan child to the care of her early friend and companion, Geraldine. When Geraldine reaches the West Indies she learns that her unhappy lover, Le Vasseur, has committed suicide, in consequence of his gaming losses. She subsequently, however marries an English clergyman, and recovers from the effect of these complicated troubles. We can not say that the picture of West Indian life and society is very attr ac ti ve , th oug h p oss ibly lif e -lik e . " Gilbert's History of Dublin" is the subject of an entertainin g paper, giving us particulars of some of the notabilities who have flourished in that city. Two recent works of travel are discussed and quoted. at some length —namely, Captain Burton's account. of his "Explorations in the Lake Regions of Cen tral Africa," and Mr. Atkinson's " Narrative of his Travels in the Regions of the Upper and Lower Amoor." Those who have not met with these works will be able to form a good idea of their con tents by perusing these papers. W. C. Kent con tributes some melodious verses on the parable of " Joatham," and there is also a ballad by Frederick Enoch. 14 16 5/ 5* 8} A 4 id 1} d, 19 20 51 9} 9} 22 23 BRITISH MINES.

The Amerique arrived today (in five days from Beyrout), and leaves in an hour or two for Mar seilles. She carries no mail, but through the kindness of the French agent I am enabled to avail myself of his despatch-bag. The troops on boaid the Amerique, Borythene, and Simois had been landed at Beyrout without anything occur ring worthy of notice. The Gange, also, with French troops, had not arrived, and fears were en tertained that some damage had occurred to her machinery. One hundred and seventy-three Druses had been executed by Fuad Pasha. The screw steamer Orontes arrived here yester day from Alexandria, and the Arno to-day, from the same port, both for Gibraltar and Gibraltar, with wheat, &c. H.M. line-of-battle ship Queen left Malta on Saturday for a cruise off the island, and is still in sight. The line-of- battle ship Cressy is under orders for Naples ; the Melpomene, frigate, for Corfu ; and the Grayhound, corvette, for Beyrout. The gunboat Intrepid suddenly made her appear ance yesterday from Naples and Messina, bringing invalids from the squadron. She communicated with the Scylla, at Messina, on the 25th. There was also a Sardinian frigate in the port. Garibaldi was in possession of all the Neapolitan posts in the Straits on the Calabrian coast. The firing between Garibaldi's outposts and the Neapolitan troops in the citadel continued. - P.R - 1 - 117C 1 tIR AT. The following is the text of Prince M urat's letter as published in the Turin Gazette : " Sir,—l have received your letter, and reply to it without reserve. I love plain dealing. I shall never be an obstacle to the wish of the people, however erroneous it may appear to me. I am a relative of the Emperor, and am, conse quently, not free ; any act on my part would im plicate the policy of France; and in the present state of unjust mistrust which parties endeavour to excite against the Emperor, to whom I am fully devoted, nothing could be more disastrous than to make Europe believe that Napoleon 111., who in reality thinks only of the welfare and independence of nations, mediates, on the contrary, of giving thrones to his relations. " When revolution agitates a people the popular will alone, freely expressed, can put an end to dis cords and uncertainties, because it is the supreme law to which every good Italian must submit. "In the actual state of things a Constitutional Government must be established at Naples as soon as possible, so as to establish liberty and prevent anarchy and invasion. This suffices to prevent me from participating in the revolutions of our king dom, unless the Neapolitan people, free from all ex ternal influence, should legally and so lemnly manifest its desire to have' in me a pledge of prosperity and independence. I should then be strong in the consent of my cousin—then I would bring to you the French alliance, which alone can guarantee the lasting independence of this nation. " I therefore make a sacrifice of my private in terests, and, thinking only of the public welfare, I repeat to you what I have already said—it is my opinion that Italy will refind in a Confederation her former power and ancient splendour. ~ LUOIEN MURAT." THE ROAD CHILD MURDER,—The memorial to the Home Secretary from the Mayor and other influential inhabitants of Bath, praying for a special commission to investigate this mysterious tragedy, and which appeared in The Sun of Thursday last, has been forwarded through Mr. Tite, one of the members for the city. Mr. Tite has communicated with the Mayor of Bath, stating that he has had an interview with Sir G. C. Lewis, who, looking to the grave importance of the subject and the influential names attached to the memorial, has promieed to give the matter his most amuous and patient consideration. ... i C... Paid. LIRE AT BLAVIrWALL. About midnight on Friday a fire broke out in the extensive premises of the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company at Bl ac kwall, which in a few hours destroyed property of the aggregate value of about £lO,OOO, and the effect of which, be yond the immediate loss, will be seriously to retard the completion of a gigantic shipbuilding operation, for purposes of naval warfare undertaken for the Government. The works of this company are lo cated on both sides of Bow-creek, a little to the west of the Victoria Docks, on ground formerly oc .cupied by Mr. Mare, the eminent shipbuilder., Om the east side of the creek many of the huge speci mens of naval architecture for which the Tharues has long been famous are reared from time to time, and, there, also, the large subsidiary ironworks are car ried on ; while the ground on the opposite side is principally, or rather was—occupied by a cluster of sawing, moulding, and planing mills, smithies, and the like, replete with a system of elaborate and costly machinery, all of which was driven by a steam, engine of some 60 horse-power. Of this machinery, some of which was quite new, the various buildings in which it was housed, and the great steam. engine itself by which it was all propelled, only a few useless vestiges remain, and a large quantity of the most valuable descriptions of timber, principally teak, mahogany, and Dantsic oak, which - .was being fashioned and adapted for use, or stor e d ' An th e con- tiguous wharf, was involved in the .cr.mfiagration.. and served to make a huge bonfire 'in the dead of night, visible for eight or ten miles round. The fire, which is supposed to have originated in the engine -house, was discovered by Richard Pretty, a watchman on the premises, who gave an immediate alarm, which was spread more rapidly throughout the neighbourhood by the conflagration itself. The working population from the adjacent Trinity wharf, the dockyard of Mr. Green, and other places hastened to the scene, and rendered what aitsisto.nce they could in the emergency. By degrees, as the blaze diffused its own intelligence over the. metro polis, fire-engines:and firemen almost innumerable arrived at the spot, but, owing to there being an indifferent supply of water on the land side, they were unable to render the service they might have done in arresting the progress of the fire, which continued to burn, though in :a degree more miti gated, until five in the morning. From the adja cent creek the large floating engine, which had come from its mooring-place at Southwark-bridge, played for some hours with considerable effect on. the burning mass, and prevented it extending to, though it scorched places, a long range of joiners' shops and stacks of valuable seasoned timber piled up in the immediate vicinity. What little wind there was fortunately blew in the direction of the creek, so that the fire ended there, and was confined to a comparatively limited area. The loss of pro perty—which, by the way, is covered by insuvances effected in the Phoenix and Manchester offi.ces—is as nothing compared with the delay and impedi ment it will offer to the progress of a war steamer of prodigious dimensions and strength, called the Warrior, which the company are now building for the Board of Admiralty,and a companion towhich de signated the Black Prince, is in course of construc tion on the Clyde. The tonnage of this vessel is estimated at between 6,000 and 7,000, and her ag gregate cost at about £380,000. Her machinery, which is being made by Penn and Son, of Green wich, will be about 1,k50-horse power, and will propel her at a rate of 13 or 14 knots an hour. Her strength and capacity to resist an attack from without may be fancied from the facts that she is, first of all, built 'wholly of iron, and infinitely stronger in that respect than any ordinary iron vessel ; that upon this groundwork she is being covered bodily over with teak 18 inch es thick, and over this again she is to be encased from stem to stern in wrought iron 41 inches thick, or, as it were, " locked up in steel." All the woodwork for this gigantic creation of naval architecture, includ ing the sawing, planing, tenoring, morticin g, and moulding, was being executed and fashionea in the premises which, with all the machinery, have been burnt to the ground, and at a rate to which hand labour to almost any amount was unequal. The vessel has been on the stocks about 12 months, and was expected to be launched about Christ - yam ; but it is feared that the result of this casualty will be to retard her completion for some considera b le t'Lme, unless, i n d ee d, th e opera ti ons have been suspended by the fire can be carri ed machinery availabl e i n o th er quarters.

As far as assurances can assure, there never was a country so well assured as ours ; the Emperor assures us at Lyons; his ambassador to the Cour Of England endorses the assurance at St. Etienne ; but unfortunately it is with these Imperial assur ances as with assurance offices, the very :sight of them reminds us of conflagrations. The great men of France trouble themselves un necessarily about our nerves, which are constitu tionally none of the weakest ; or if they are apt to quiver at all, there is nothing so likely to pro duce the effect as the sight of a French doctor with his tonics. In one of Smollett's novels the, follow ing dialogue takes place between a lusty pe.tient in the hands of a quack and a judicious friend who visits him. " What is your disorder ? The doctor, " What do you chiefly complain of ? Of the apo thecary. Do you feel any shivering ? Always at the sight of the apothecary." Count Persigny indeed, understanding ecs better than most of his countrymen, does us the justice to admit that we are not all in a tremor. Only portion of the British public has taken fright, an d _ what is extremely curious, the portion he refer a sl is not that which has flown to arms, for he f,,L the volunteers a handsome complimen t "and the dignity and calmness of their atti. not the propriety of their motto ' D efian ce ‘ sa rice for Defiance."
