THIS EVENING All honour to the Irish Government, to the talented and patriotic Nobleman who now fills the Vice royalty, and to his upright and able colleagues. The step kas been taken which we have so long advocated: the money to be levied on the different lands for the purpose of affording employment to the destitute and impoverished children of the soil is no longer to be expended solely on public works of a barren and unproductive nature ; the land is to be improved and brought into a higher state of cultivation ; and we may, therefore, reasonably hope not only that there will be a means by which the extraordinary ad ditional charges on the lands throughout the country may be met without any additional pressure on the already heavily encumbered landowners, but that the increased means will be obtained in the most desirable manner, and that increased food will also be the happy result ; that Ireland,will not only afford an ample pro vision for the wants and necessities of her people, but that she will again be enabled, as heretofore, to export from her abundance a copious supply of edibles to the people of Great Britain in return for their manu factures. The Executive have taken upon themselves a great responsibility, but one for which an ample indemnity will be unhesitatingly granted immediately on the meeting of Parliament, which, thanks to their decided and vigorous determination, it will now be unnecessary to convene until the usual and ac customed period ; and thus gentlemen will be enabled to remain in their several localities at a time when their presence will be most valuable, and the necessity of hasty legislation will be dispensed with. In The Sun of Thursday we published a circular which was forwarded to the lieutenants of the different counties, bearing date the 6th instant, and containing a copy of a letter addressed the previous day to the chairman of the Board of Works, with a request that it might as speedily as possible be laid before the ma gistrates and cess-payers of the several counties. In this letter the Government plan, and the length to which his Excellency is prepared to go, is fully set forth, and we doubt not that it will be hailed with the greatest joy and gratitude by all classes throughout the country. It states that his Excellency has had under his consideration the various representations made to him of the operation of the Poor Employ ment ment Act, and of th e diffi culty of finding in the greater number of baronies public works on which it would be expedient or beneficial to expend money to the extent requisite for affording employment to the people during the existence of the 'present distress. With a view, therefore, of obviatir.g the bad effects of a great expenditure of money in the execution of works comparatively unproductive, he desires the Commissioners of Public Works to direct their officers in the several counties to consider and report upon such works of a reproductive character and paramount utility as may be presented in the manner therein mentioned, at any sessions held under the above-mentioned Act. And it states that his Excel lency will be prepared to sanction and approve of such of these works thus recommended by the Board, in the same manner as if they had been strictly public works, and presented as such in the manner required by the Act. The following are the rules to be acted on, viz.:— Will be pertbrrned the popular Drama of TILE STEED OF SY RACUSE; or, Damon's Flight. Damon, Mr.J.lliu,vood; Pythias, Mr. J. Dale ; Calanthe, Mrs. M.

They will also ascertain the proportion of such as sessment, which, according to the last poor-law valuation, may be chargeable upon each electoral division of an union, or portion of an electoral division (if the whole shall not be included) in the barony ; and they will ob tain for this purpose, from the clerk of each poor-law union, a copy of such valuation.

If our readers will look to The Sun of the 12th September they will see that the above rules closely follow the suggestions we then offered, and which we have continually repeated from time to time since that period. We proposed " that a register should be kept in every district of the persons for whom em ployment should be provided, and an apportionment of the quantity of labour, so as to ascertain that fairly chargeable against each acre in proportion to its value." By this the first rule would be immediately complied with, as the sum necessary to be raised off , the barony for the purpose of affording employment would at once be ascertained. The suggestion has also been followed in the instructions for the forma • tion and guidance of relief committees, on which we that, they are indelibly stamped upon the memory of • yesterday commented. The committees are forthwith his contemporaries. It can never be forgotten, in to prepare and to revise, from time to time, such a reviewing the occurrences which have ultimately list for their several districts which shall at conduced to the realisation of free trade, that Mr. once point out, in the clearest manner, VILi.IERa waiethe eloquent and consistent champion the resources necessary to be provided through of those principles when they were most derided and out the entire coun t ry.

It directs the sessions to present for lowing session with unabated earnestness and renewed such useful and profitable work to be executed in ability. When no prestige encompassed the advocacy each electoral, division to the amount of its proportion of free trade, but when, on the contrary, the two of the assessment.

'We, however, tender our hearty thanks to the Executive for that which they have promulgated ; they have more than fulfilled the high expectations entertained on their accession to office, and by their statesmanlike conduct they have given fair grounds for the hope expressed by his Excellency, viz., that " the calamity with which it has pleased PROVIDENCE to afflict Ireland, may yet in its result become con ducive to the production of greater abundance of human food from the soil, and to the future perma nent improvement of the country." The New Hamburgh Gazette publishes a letter from Dusseldorf, which states that the Conference of the Zolverein, assembled at Berlin, had determined to raise the import duty on linen-thread to 2 rix-dollars per quintal, and on twists to 3 rix-dollars. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 30th September. The old Papal party are endea vouring to excite the people in the provinces against the liberal POPE. The following proclamation, which has been extensively circulated in ono of the pro vincial towns, is, it is said, the production of Cardinal DELLA.

It had been hoped that his TIOLINES6 would have appointed secular De puties. It is reported that Cardinal Gizzr, in conse quence of the strong opposition which ell his measures met with in the Consistory, had tendered his resigna tion, but that, at the earnest request of the POPE, he had consented to withdraw it. The old Papal party is supported in its opposition to the Porm's measures by Austria. The Austrian garrisons of Ferrara and Co machio have been reinforced, and the defensive works of the citadel of Ferrara strengthened. The news from Lisbon is to the 2d instant. The intrigues of the German DIETZ, who seems to have the King and Queen of PORTUGAL completely under his control, and who is all but: avowedly the agent of a foreign power, which has long been seek ing to gain an ascendancy in the Peninsula, have at length aroused the feelings of nationality of the Portuguese people. The distracted state of the country is attributable solely to the intrigues of the. Afrancesado faction, of which Dirrz and the CABRAL S are the tools, and the KING and QUEEN the dupes. It is much to be feared that a revolution, which may cost the QUEEN her throne, will be the consequence of these intrigues, for rumours were rife in Lisbon that a necessity might arise for proclaiming as King of Portugal Dom PEDRO the heir to the throne, a child of ton years of age, and appointing a regency to govern in his name. The Camarilla and the Ministry are at war, and DIETZ and the Court are openly intriguing for their overthrow. The Bank, instigated by the Camarilla, had refused to assist the Ministry, and had expected that the resignation of Ministers would have been the consequence of their refusal. The Ministry, however, managed to do without their assistance, and are still in office. The resumption of cash payments by the Bank is postponed to the 31st December Madrid papers of the 3d have arrived. The Bill for raising 25,000 men for the army had passed the Senate, and both Chambers had adjourned. It was not supposed they would re -assemble before the dissolution. Count MUSSON was about to proceed to Alcoban das, to receive the P r i nces . _ _ Mr. BULWER. was to leave Madrid on the 3d for Aranjuez, where he would remain until the marriages Ns ere over. Senor SALAMANCA, the banker, and seve ral members of the Opposition party, would also withdraw from Madrid during the stay there of the French Princes. The Herald° states that the QUEEN will grant an extensive and general amnesty. Mr. BULIVER dispatched a courier for Cadiz on the 3d, with instructions for Admiral Sir W. PARKER.

Adverse circumstances of a local character have delayed until very recently the transmission of a con gratulatory address from the electors of Wolverhamp ton to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Within the last week that most interesting document has been forwarded to its destination at Drayton Manor, and responded to with a very courteous precipitation by the Right Honour able Baronet. Singularly as these expressions of gratitude and gratulation have been procrastinated, we would nevertheless direct to them an especial and universal attention ; we would individualise this par ticular address amongst the innumerable others al ready forwarded to the distinguished national bene factor, who as Prime Minister of England dared to emancipate the commerce of Great Britain ; we would for a moment elevate the constituency of Wolverhampton above all other constituencies, and render the conduct of its electors the object of contemplation to all the other borough and county electors of the United Kingdom. Out of honest thankfulness we conceive that: some such peculiar mark of honour is demanded; for the enfranchised Inhabitants of Wolverhampton have entitled them selves to the gratitude of their fellow -countrymen. In regard to the enlightened and magnificent cause of free trade Wolverhampton has assumed a paramount position among the many towns entitled to send a representative to Parliament. When that great cause was the object of derision and contumely among all classes of the community—when to profess doctrines Inimical to the protective system was to become almost an object ofexecration as a profligate and unprin cipled politician, the electors of Wolverhampton gave to that cause the most signal assistance which, under the circumstances, any body of men could possibly have afforded. They returned as their representative in the British Legislature a man eminently qualified to uphold the interests of the weak and abused ma jority against the interests of the powerful and tyrannical minority; a man who was ready to relin quish all the allurements of personal ambition to become the gladiator of the populace upon a despised -arra ; one who possessed the faculty, as well as th e will, to battl e against one of the m onster abuses of the Constitution. The services of Mr. Vimanas require no enumera tion to elicit th e app l ause of his fellow-countrYmen. Those serv i ces are enrolled in the Par-- Itt o liaw More history of Great B r it a i n, but, ore than .<r=~ ~r ~r..:: subject of the Montpensier marriage between the British and the French Governments:— " We receive from London information fully confirm ing the views which we published yesterday of the pre sentation of a second note by the Ambassador of Eng land to M. Guizot. The communications which had been made both to the Cabinet of Madrid and that of Paris, in the name of the Government of Great Britain, before the departure of the Duke de Montpensier, had not as yet any other character, notwithstanding their energy, than that of mere representations—amicable ob servations. England seemed to think that the two Go vernments of Spain and France would adjourn the exe cution of the project of marriage, at least uutil after a complete exchange of explanations. These representations bore on three principal points :—First, the British Cabinet appealed to the stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht, and showed that the project of marriage was contrary to these stipulations; secondly, England called attention to the fact, that the renunciation of Austria to all right to the Crown of Spain had precisely had for cause and condition the renunciation of the Bourbons of France to all action, direct or indirect, over the same Crown. France, in ceasing to observe her engagements, would cause the question of the succession in Spain, to again arise in Europe. Thirdly, th e B r iti s h C a bi net re f erre d I to the claims which England had to some gratitude on the part of Spain, for the services rendered to the cause of Isabella. It appeared to it, therefore, only just that France should not endeavour to exclude England from all influence beyond the Pyrenees, and should not appear to be determined to ensure by a marriage, principally in the hypothesis that the Queen should not have an heir to the throne, the govern ment of the Peninsula. It is well known that M. Guizot at first gave no reply to these observations. When the news arrived in London that the Duke de Montpensier had certainly departed for Madrid, a council of the English Ministers assembled, under the influence of very strong dissatisfaction. The announce ment of the departure of the Duke de Montpensier serving as the only reply to a diplomatic communication, was considered by the English Cabinet as an offensive proceeding. It is too notorious what secrecy surrounds, in England, all Cabinet Councils, and therefore the measures determined on in this deliberation are not accurately known. This, however, is what has been allowed to transpire. Another note was dispatched both to Madrid and Paris. That for our Cabinet was to have been presented on Monday by Lord Normanby to M. Guizot. This time it is no longer a question of observations and r e p resentat i ons. Th e mar riage is considered as a fait accompli. The English Cabinet adds to its protest formal declarations and re servations! It declares that the principal and veritable object of the treaty of Utrecht was to raise an absolute i obstacle to the union of the two crowns of France- and Spain on the same head. It is perfectly true that at the present moment such a union is not on the tapis, but it becomes possible hereafter, by the union of the eventual rights of the Duke de Montpensier to the crown of France, with the not distant claims of the Infanta to the crown of Spain. It is first of all on this subject that England makes her reservations! She next shows that, in order to ensure the object of the treaty of Utrecht, the contract ing Powers had taken a,certain number of precautLns; amongst which is the renunciation of the house of Orleans to the crown of Spain, under whatever form that crown might come to its descendants. But it ap pears evident to the British Ministry that this precaution, this clause, is formally violated by the marriage, and it is also the obj ect o f t h e protes t o f t h e British Cabinet, and of the reservations which it makes relative to the conduct it may think fit to observe ulteriorly. The note, as we are positively assured, declares that the only arrangement which could satisfy England would be the renunciation of the Infanta Luisa to the • crown of Spain for her and her descendants from the moment she becomes the Duchess de Montpensier. Finally, the English Cabinet, it is said, express a firm per suasion that the other Powers which signed the treaty of Utrecht, and all the great states of Europe, will look at this question of balance of power in the same light as Great Britain does. Instructions in this sense appear to have been sent to the represen tatives of England at Vienna, Berlin, and St. Peters burgh. Mr. Bulwer has received orders to hold himself at a distance from Madrid during the celebration of the marriage and of the fetes attendant on it, in order to thus protest publicly by his absence. In the interval which elapsed between the transmission and the handing in of this, M. Guizot, as is known, gave a reply to the pre vious note of the British Government. He probably offers a renunciation of the Duke de Montpensier to the crown of France; but this satisfaction will, it is said, be judged illusive and insufficient by the English Ministry, and the difference between the Governments is at present more profound than ever. M. Guizot hopes, it is said, that the Cabinets of Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin will abstain from all protest against the marriage, and he fou'ids his expectations on the following grounds :—On the one hand he took part against the Poles in the French Chambers on the occasion of the late troubles in Gallicia —he imagines that at Vienna they will be obliged to him for so doing. On the other hand, Lord Palmerston has recently in the 'louse of Commons called for the execu tion of the treaties relating to the republic of Cracow, and Rassia and Austria may have felt some resentment at his doing so. However all this may be, it is certain 1 that the rupture of all alliance, of all understanding be tween France and England is flagrant ; that a diplo matic struggle has commenced in Europe between these two Powers ; that the success of England would be a new and grave embarrassment for our Government, and that the success of the French Ministry cannot be fa vourable either to the liberty of Spain or to the liberal cause in the rest of Europe, or to public security and the peace of the world. We believe that the resentment which England feels at the manner in which she has been treated causes her to exaggerate much the poli tical importance of the marriage. But what is to be said of our clever negotiators, who have succeeded in en venoming to such a degree an affair which is at bottom but a simple family arrangement?" The other papers, although they all, with the ex ception of the Journal des Debate, comment on the Montpensier marriage, contain nothing on this sub ject worthy of extract. A telegraphic dispatch, received at Paris on Thurs day, announces that the Due DE MONTPENSIER and the Duc D'AuntALE arrived at Madrid at three o'clock on Tuesday, and were received with en thusiasm. The Journal des Dbats has an admirable article on the subject of free trade. In allusion to a meet ing of protectionists held at Rouen, it expresses its astonishment at the blindness of the cotton manu facturers of the place in supporting a protective system. " The situation of Rouen (says the Debat) is so ad vantageous, that raw material of every kind could (with freedom of commerce) be as cheap, if not cheaper, there than even in Manchester. Rouen has the unique privilege of being accessible to maritime navigation. Manchester, on the contrary, is inland. Thus, cotton and dye-woods would cost less at Rouen. Newcastle coals and iron would be as cheap as in England, and labour is cheaper at Rouen than at M anc h ester ." on the co n t rary, i n writing of this protectionist pr i nc i p l es to the sk i es, a m n e ci Tet i hi n eng t l: h r e leasu v sd e e r 's y next article, on the subject of the commercial treaty with Russia, it shows practically the utter absurdity of those principles : " The ratifications of the treaty of commerce which has been concluded with Russia are not yet exchanged, but this diplomatic formality will b e accomp li s h e d i n a few days. SS believe we ar e j ust i fied in stating that btwhehetivveneh othe reewn treaty nations monopoli se d of the carrying trade has provid e d t h at the enormous portion France and Russia shall be reduced to the profit of the flags of those two Powers. A question of legality has been raised on the subject of this treaty. Without waiting for its ratification by the Chambers (a neces sary condition) of the clauses which modify the naviga tion and tonnage duties, the Gover nment h as i ssued orders in our principal commercial p orts to carry into execution the stipulations of th e treaty with respect to Russian shipping. There was but one opinion on this course ; the Alinisters assumed a power which was not legally conferred on them, they anticipated the decision of Parliament, and the regularity of their conduct may certainly be contested in a strictly legal point of view. The Ministers, therefore, must, pray a Bill of Indemnity, but if the circumstances attending this affair be examined it will be acknowledged that they never could require such a favour under better circum stances. In fact grave interests were suffering in conse quence of the :commercial severity to which the treaty nhich has been concluded has put an end. The causes of this severity are the following:—Dur. ing a long period our shipping enjoyed in Russian ports the advantages conferred on the national flag._ They were assimilated to Russian shipping, and paid no additional charges. Our legislators were far ilt•Jin proving themselves so liberal to the Russian flag. They imposed large differential duties on its entrance into our ports. They were so ridi culous as to treat the Russian flag as a rival of whom they were afraid, after having without hesitation granted terms of reciprocity to two of the most formida ble navies, those of Great Britain and the United States of America. They did not even stop there, they added last year an additional duion the produce of Russia. The effect of t hi s measure was to exclude her merchan dise, after having excluded her flag—an excess of hos tility which must have provoked reprisals. We had not long to wait for those reprisals. By an ukase, dated June 9, 18 45, our flag and our produce were subjected to prohibi t i ve duties. First, our flag alone had to suffer, our merchandi se st i ll continued to fi n d i ts way to t h e Russian m ar k ets through the English, Dutch, Swedish, and Norw eg i an flags, wh o a lone profited by this ar rangement. B ut this last and miserable resource was Coon taken f rom us, as the Russian Government, to secure the effect of its reprisals, could not fail to require, sooner or l a t er, from those ships of a third Power what is called a cert i ficate of origin ; in other terms, it im posed an a ddi t i onal duty on all mercha.ndize not coming directly fr om the country of the flag which protected them. Th at b ecame inevitable ; that is the general law in all Eur o p e i n matters of excise, and from that period Russia was h ermetically sealed against our exports, as her port s h a d already been against our shipping. But such a st a t e o f things would have been truly calamitous to a numb er o f interests worthy of the entire solicitude of the Go vernment. It became necessary to meet the peril by the con c l us i on of a treaty which would place the two countries on a footing of a goo d eomm ercial understanding. This has been accomplished. The treaty having been concluded, th ere remained the question of the execution, and it was h ere that the scruples of strict legality pre sented thems e l ves. The Government passe d over t h em, reserving to it se lf the right to apply to the Ch am b ers to cover the irregularity, For our plrt, withoutdenying 10, 1846. that it would have been desirable that the matter had passed otherwise, we cannot impute as a crime to the Cabinet the resolution adopted by it. To adjourn the execution of the treaty until the two Chambers could have approved of it would have been to expose our com merce, our manufactures, and our navigation to the loss of seasons; and the situation produced by the ukase of June 9 became so intolerable that the desire and the impatience to get rid of it can easily be comprehended. The Russian Government took the first step. It had been the first to place our ships and our produce in possession of all the advantages secured to them by the treaty ; but it was on condition that we should return the favour. Should we have exposed ourselves to the breaking off from a Government which was not obliged to undergo the same formalities, and of which the in trigues of our rivals might have succeeded in changing the present good disposition? Should we suffer the British, Prussian, or - Swedish navies to enjoy in peace during seven or eight months longer the advantages found by them in the, to us, disastrous ukase of the 9th of June? Candidly speaking, it would have been to act the part of a dup. The unanimous reclamations of the Chamber of Commerce excited the Government to act as it has done. The act is rather held. Agreed; but we neither mean to admit it as a principle, or as a precedent. And again, who suffers for ii? Nobody. On the contrary, a multitude of interests gain by it, and this consideration is of some weight. Let us guard the worship of what is sacred, and the law is without contradiction such; but let us guard it like intelligent meta, and let us not suffer it to degenerate into an absurd superstition." A letter from Algeria, published in the Independent of the Eastern Pyrenees, states that a revolt has arisen amongst the soldiers of the 15th Light In fantry, who were about to be dispersed amongst other regiments in the colony. They had proceeded to the residence of their colonel, carried off the colours of the regiment, and burned them. This act of rebellion had taken its rise in the discontent of the men at not being permitted to return to France with their officers. The Minister of Marine has entered into contracts for constructing steam machinery for the following new ships ; - For the Mogador, machinery of 640 horse-power; for the Caton, 260; for the Gorgone, 300; for the Eumenide, 300; for the Mouette, 200. for the Goeland, 200; and for the Phoenix, 200.

BANKRUPTCY. —(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) BEAN V. JOHNSTONE. This was a summons under the Small Debts Act for the defendant to show cause why she had not paid 121, and costs, for which a judgment had been obtained against her in the Sheriffs' Court, Middlesex. The plaintiff is the landlord of the Greyhound Inn, at Croydon, and the defendant is a lady whose name has frequently been before the public in the affairs of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, and Mr. Val lance, his solicitor. It will probably be remembered that the action was brought against the defendant for a tavern bill, for ex penses incurred during the assizes at Croydon last year, the defendant being engaged to attend on some witnesses on behalf of his Serene Highness. Mr. Bean, after stating these facts, said that the de fendant took the apartments in the name of the Duke of Brunswick. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it would almost ap pear that his Highness was the proper party to have been sued. Mr. Bean said he had not the least doubt that the de fendant had received the money. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the defendant how she got her living, and what means she had of paying ? The defendant said she had assistance from her friends, and was also an authoress, but at present she was des titute of all means of paying, and saw no immediate prospect of doing so. There was a Chancery suit pend ing fr•na which she expected to get 1,5001., and that if Mr. Bean's solicitor would see the papers, he would find what she said was true, and they should be deposited with him as security. Mr. Bean said he had no doubt she had the means of paying. As to taking the papers, he thought he should be worse off, for the defendant was pretty well known to the public as being very fond of law, and had had, per haps, a dozen solicitors already. She had smashed the windows of one. The defendant said she wanted her rights, and if she did anything to be locked up for, it was better than not to have a place to lay her head. The Learned COMMISSIONER—You must pay a trifle a week, at all events. Defendant—l cannot pay anything; I have nothing. The COMMISSIONER—I cannot make an order on a woman who says she makes nothing. You must show me she that makes something, and then I will make an order. Mr. Bean said he was not in a position to show that. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he would ad journ the case. Mr. Bean said he hoped the Commissioner would grant a summons for the Duke of Brunswick, to ascertain whe ther defendant had not received the money. The defendant said she would admit that his Royal Highness gave her 16/. to settle, and 35/. fur herself, and promised to assist her till her business was settled. Mr. Bean submitted that this statement alone justified an order. The COMMISSILNER—Whatever the state of the case may have been, if she has not got the money now it is no use making the order. The case was adjourned, the defendaat applying for two summonses for solicitors, who, she said, could prove her present circumstances. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, a man named John Patten, who was suspected to be mixed up with a well known gang in the neighbourhood of Battle-bridge, was brought up in cus tody of constable S 210, on charge of having stolen a shovel and a quantity of other tools. The policeman stated that h e saw t h e prisoner offer ing the articles for sale, and suspecting from his appear ance that they had been stolen, he took him to the station-house. He had no doubt but if time were afforded he would be able to trace out other parties. The prisoner was remanded. Ellen Hely was brought up on remand, charged with stealing two sovereigns, the proprty of Mrs. Lane hangar°li, of 106, Hatton-garden. It appeared that the prisoner had been about a month in the service of Mrs. inangaroli, and on Thursday two sovereigns were missed from the escretoire. Suspicion , falling on the p r i soner , s h e was searc h e d , an d exac tly that sum found upon her. In her defence, she said this was part of money she had received i n wages f rom a l a d y name d S tewar d and another person. Mr. COOMBE said, that on inquiry they found her story about the wages to be true, and also that her empl r ° L e h had given h er a most exce ll ent c h aracter , still he bound to commit him for trial. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. (THIS MORNING.) Between the hours of six and seven o'clock this morn ing, a police-constable whilst passing through PortpT3l - Gray's-inn-lane, discovered that the tarpaulir!g manufactory, belonging to Mr. Orchard, and situate in that thoroughfare, was on fire. The officer raised an instant alarm, and in the course of a few minutes, a number of the inhabitants hastened to the spot to render assistance ; but it was found that the flames had ob tained already too strong a hold to be easily extin guished. Messrs. Reid, the brewers, of Liquorpond street, upon being apprised of the disaster, sent one of their engines to the scene of conflagration, and the same was set to work by a large party of draymen. Owing to the great number of sheets of prepared canvass that were hanging upon the sacks in the building, they proved such a powerful auxiliary to the fire, that in less than a quartei"of an hour after the first discovery was made, the entire strtieture became encircled in flames, which, upon breaking through the roof and windows, compelled the persons living in the houses in Tash-court to make a precipitate retreat into the street, the smoke that en tered their habitations being of suck a dense and suffo cating nature. For some time it was feared that every building in the latter thoroughfare would have been de stroyed, there being only a narrow space between them and the factory. The brigade engines from the City and west-end stations were, however, soon at the spot and in full operation; they were followed by the West of England, and one from the Waterloo-road station. The mains of the New River Company afforded an abundant supply of water, which the firemen scattered over the destructive element ; notwithstanding, before any impression could bo made upon the flames, the whole of the stock in trade in ° the build ing was totally consumed, and the manufac tory gutted. Some of the surrounding premises are damaged, but, owing to the exertions of the firemen, not to any great extent. How the fire originated, could not be ascertained ; it is stated by the men employed in the place, that none of the coppers had been lighted for I a considerable period, and it is their opinion that some of the canvass overheated itself, and ignited spontaneously. Owing to the absence of Mr. Orchard, we were unable to learn whether or not his loss is covered by an insur ance. Two or three escapes of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, were early in their attendance, but fortunately their services were not required. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 9.—Our sup plies of wheat continue large; the demand is not so active as of late; but holders evince =eh firmness, and in the business done, last week's prices are nearly maintained.
