IRELAND. MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF LAND LORDS. DUBLIN, DEC. 22. Another meeting of the Repro ductive Employment Committee was held this day, at Radley's, College-green. A new circular was adopted, to be distributed throughout the country, urging the adoption or petitions to the Legislature praying the sus pension of the navigation laws, as the means of facili tating the import of food, and also that all available vessels of war should at once be employed in the trans mission of food from the American and continental ports. Another suggestion in the circular is, that relief com mittees should be empowered to sell _food to the poor ender cost price. STATE OF THE PROVINCES. The same deplorable tale of destitution and death is iepeated in the accounts from the provinces received to day. The (listress is becoming universal, and even in the metropolis it. is very severely felt. The Lord Mayor. in compliance with the request of a numerous class of the leading citizens of Dublin, has convened a meeting to be held in the Music Hall, to-morrow, for the purpose - - aa Of adopting measures toe ards the relief of the poor. The distress which prevails among the poor in this city is of a character as deep as that by which other districts in the provinces is afflicted. The Cork Examiner contains accounts furnished by its reporters in Bantry and Macroom, of the appalling distress in those places. That journal says : " Another week, and Bantry will see 1.500 men look ing out for employment. One fact speaks volumes for the deplorable condition of the people here, that the relief committee are about to advertise for a coroner At the meeting of the committee, held on Saturday last, Mr. Power said, I have written for the coroner re gard'ng the death of a person in the town. " 'Rev. Mr. Begley: 'Tis impossible they can attend to all the business that has recently accumulated on theist. " 'Rev. Mr. Freeman: Otherwise we will die, and no body will be the wi ser o f it. I rea ll y t hi nk i t would be judicious to advertise for a coroner.' " Our reporter remarks upon the apathy and utter in sensibility which are fast taking hold of those famine stricken beings. In a people proverbially remarkable for kin Illness of feeling, generous impulses, and strong home elf ctions, this is a most remarkable change. Utter misery will confound the head and the heart, the affections as well as the reason. Cold and hunger are sad destroyers of our holiest sensibilities. and the desolation of hearths and hearts turns our blood to ice and our best emotions to marble. A woman bearing the mouldy and putrid body of a dead infant in her arms, solicited charity from one of the committee to enable her to purchase a coffin. She bore the body since the preceding Thursday, and then threatened to throw it by the ditch unless a suffi cient'um was given her fur that purpose. "In the meantime the land is neglected. The pdor people have neither seed nor labour. Some of them, as a la't resource, are compelled to kill and use the misera ble skeletons of what was an apology for stock on their small farms. " In Macroom and its neighbourhood matters are not SO bad at present. The acting of the Board of Works in this locality is also u :popular, and spoken of with seve rity. The p iople employed on the works cannot earn as much wages for the purchase of food as would keep soul and body together. Their work is task work, and, from the peculiarly rocky nature of the land, they are com pelled to work more and receive less than in other dis tricts. There is no appearance of cultivation here either. The state of feeling of the people in the country may be summed up in a few words. " Their firm and undoubted belief is, that they are all reserved for the same fate as is daily occurring to their neighbours—that they are doomed, without either ex pectatien of relief or releas', to expire before the termi nation of a fe.S , months—that they will be found either in the fields or on the mountains, without either the con solations of clergy or the comfort of friends." The letter from Bantry contains the fallowing appal ling deteils:— "ai Wednesday evening last a poor man from a distant portion of the parisa, exhausted by want and hunger, was with extreme diffisulty enabled to reach the toen, where, however, his physical ca; abilities were ex hausted, and where he fell almost lifeless and unable to proceed further. The Very Rev. Mr. Barry was imme diately called upon, and administered the last eonseletion of religion to him in the public street, from which place he was subsequently conveyed to the workhouse, where he expired in an hour afterwards. "On Thursday evening I was accosted by a woman having in her arms a dead child, which she was unable to bury for want of a coffin; and which I understand is still unburied from the same necessity. " Within the last ten d iys the Rev. Messrs. Freeman and Begley have attended the dying beds of from fifty to sixty parsons; it is their decided, and unqualified conviction that out of that number there are not at present one-third of those individuals existing. There is an important and melancholy reflection attached to the consideration of this fact, that those deaths are not in the great majority of cases either the result of infirmity, confirmed disease, or old age, but proceed from exhaustion, consequent upon con tinued want of food. Another painful source of mortality amongst the labourers employed by Govern ment is the insufficiency of clothing, the principal portion of which has been lone since confided to the care cf the pawnbroker, or sold to the most available purchaser. The condition of the people in this part of the country is such, that their immediate friends hardly recognise them, as the Rev. Mr. Freeman observed, 6 . 0 ( xtraordinary a metamorphosis has been ( fleeted, that in some instances the Catholic clergy—their constant: attendants in every change and vicissitude—find it diffi cult, if not impossible, to recollect their parishioners from personal appearance.' " On Thursday erening last a poor woman died sud denly on the road, at a place called Bawigurm. She was on her way to implore relief at the workhouse, but death, as if in mercy, terminated her sufferings. Tier daughter came into town the same evening, for the pair. pose of soliciting the aid of the charitable tovvawds pur chasing a coffin to inter her deceased parent. " I have heard the details of other cases equally affect ing, and resulting from similar causes; but the misery and destitution which they depict present no distin guishing feature from that observable amongst all the labouring population living in this and the adjoining baronies." COUNTY OF ARMACIL—The Armayk Guardian states that attacks were made upon bread shops in that town on Thursday, by labourers from the public works, sus pended on account of the frost and snow. Great deeti. tution prevails in the distri c t. EXPORT OF MEAL FROM NEwßY.—Yesterday (Mon day) morning, as a vessel was a b ou t to proceed down the canal w ith a cargo of meal, bound for an English port, it was signified to the authorities that there was reason to apprehend an attempt would be made to prevent its removal. A party of the 7th Fusiliers, at present stationed here, were immediately ordered on board, who, with Mr. Singleton, ILM, accompanied the vessel and cargo until out of reach of attack. Innumer able hearty maledictions were, however, bestowed on the owners of the cargo and the military, by the old women and others stationed on the bridges while the vessel was passing.—.Netery Telegrapk. COUNTY OF CLARE, ENNIS, DEC. 21.—We under stand that it has been suggested to raise amongst the landed interest of the county, a sum of money sufficient in amount to purchase a large supply of provisions, to store up for future issue, when provisions shall become scarce. Meal has now risen in the retail shops here to 35. 6.1. per stone. We again repeat this alarming fact, that provisions are not in this country. PRODUCTIVE Worms. —An adjourned session was held in Fermoy on Saturday last. Presentments to a very large amount, for drainage and sub soiling, under Mr. labouchere's circular, were voted, on the part of Lord Kingston, Lord Donoughmore, and many other proprietors. Lord Mountceehel was absent, aid the en tire of his electoral division was assessed for road-, but the great bulk of the entire sum voted, 15,815/ , was for productive works. - CORK, DEC. 21.—We understand that two gentlemen, commissioned from the Irish metropolis, have arrived in this city, bringing with them money stated to be to the amount of 5,0001, for the purpose of distribution in the localities of the south, wherever the popular distress more particularly calls for it. It is said to have been contributed at the Castle, and by several official and other wealthy citizens of Dublin. We shall be heartily rejoiced to find the report correct.--Cork E.zaosiner. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The following important letter has been addressed by the Earl of Shannon, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Royal Agricultural I.nprovernent Society, to Mr. B u li en , the secr e t ar y, an d , we trust, that the other noblemen' and gentlemen similarly circumstanced, will follow his example is rejoining the society ; -_ " Castlem ar t yr, D ec. 19, 18-16. am rejoiced to find that the Royal Agricul tural Society have restored the 14th rule, and instituted measures to guard against future infringement of the fundamental rules. I felt strongly the necessity of that rule, to prevent th , ?, very inconvenient discussions that might arise in a society composed of mcn of various political opini ons , th a t I f e lt i t my d uty to withdraw when the rule was rescinded. I feel great p!easnre now in restoring my name to the books of the society, and, as one of the vice-presidents. will endeavour to procure additional members, though I have hitherto met with litt'e success. "I enclose a check for my subscription (101), and re quest that you will be so good as to inform inc of its safe receipt. _ " I am, sir, Sour obe.:ient servant. " SHANNON. "Edward Bullen, Esq., Secretary." THE MINISTRY. The Dublin Evening PO6i says, " There have been absurd and gossipping rumours in some of the news papers about divisions in the Cabinet. They are utterly destitute of foundation. The members of the Adminis trstion will meet on the 19th of January, cordially and thoroughly united in their policy." COURT OF CIIANCEV.—(TIIIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor this day give judgment in the Limerick cases--The Attorney-Crneral v. Bi.ll and Marrett.

The average price of Oats 20a. "By one of those awful calamities with which Provi dence sometimes visits states and nations, five millions of people, forming an integral portion of a flourishing and mighty empire, and entirely deprived of food, arc con signed to all the horrors of famine. The Prime Minister is ro:t radar and rightfully appealed to to relieve the suffering part with an equitable application of the wealth of the entire body, and he replies to them to look to them selves, and to rely on their own resources. Self reliance is a foie theme when sufficient for any crisis ; but to tell a people to supply themselves with food, when both food and means of procuring it are gone, appears like the requisition to the Hebrews to make bricks without ma terials. And does your Lordship, too, advocate, by this singular letter, the nullity of the Imperial union ? For forty-six years the people of Ireland have been feeding. those of England with the choicest produce of their agri culture and pasture—and while they thus exported their wheat and their beef in profusion, their Olin food became gradually deteriorated in each successive year, until the mass of the peasantry was exclusively thrown on the potato. New improvements in agriculture were projected, scientific reforms in the rearing and feeding 'of cattle were discussed and adopted ; but to the mass of the people the practical fruit of these improvements was a fresh interdict of the-use of flesh, meat. or of flour, and a further extension of the dominion of a less nutritiie kind of that same vegetable, to the exclusive use of which they were inexorably doomed ! "No matter ; a cry of Irish prosperity was raised by those who were enabled to subject the growers acorn to the uniform consumption of an inferior quality of food ; and the same cry was re-echoed from the shuns of Eng land, gladdened with the abundance with which its in habitants were supplied, careless of the misery of which that abundance was productive in Ireland, and losing -fight altogether of the dietary destitution, hich, during the spring and summer months,its people were uniformly fated to endure. The English Legislature was not un grateful to the Irish landlords for those exporting ser vices, so beneficial to the English population, and in re turn for the increased quantity of the nobler food, which alone they would consent to make use of, it furnished them with facilities of seizure of crops and ejectment of to:Autry never known before the union ; so that if any the peasantry should become too fastidious for the use of potatoes, or aspire to the interdicted food of flesh, meat, or flour, destined to swell the rent-rolls of the one, and feed the petted population of the other, they were sure to be summarily driven from their tenements for not raising further food for export, and reproached with utter ignorance of the very elements of agriculture. On the expulsion of the tenantry to the skirtings of the mow, cattle shows became all the rage in Ireland, and meetings were held to witness and applaud the success ful zeal with which Irish graziers could supply with still larger quantities of beef, and pork, and mutton, the in creasing demands of the English people. The animals were exhibited—not such an exhibition, however,. as when the animals passed in review before him who was coustituted by their common Creator the lord of the earth as well as of all its animal productions. In these exhibitions, this order appeared reversed, and whilst the neglected condition of the poor peasantry showed the estimation in which they were held, the unnatural di mensions of those pampered brutes would indicate that they were looked on as the beings which shared to the greatest extent the kindred sympathies of their owners. Such, with a few benevolent exceptions, was the spirit that guided those cattle exhibitions. " In a great national chastisement, all must in some d g ee vic ree be involved ; an d t h ough many of the poor are matims, perhaps from the want of due resignation, and to teach them that there can be still deeper misery than that which they endured, the entire destruction of the potato crop reads an awful lesson of the cruelty of which that aliment has been made an instrument. It was intended by the Almighty as a valuable adjunct of human sustenance to his creatures—it has been abused by man as an instrument of rapacious wealth, of dire oppression, and of national degradation. Its destruction shows what some seemed ignorant of—that the interests o f all are identified ; that one class cannot permanently flourish, and another be abandoned to decay; and that the people cannot be pushed to the verge of starvation with eut landlords and rulers sharing in all the perils of their position. The perishing potato is the most formi dable agitator the oppressors of the people had ever vet to wrestle with. But, though the transition to the full harvest will be severe, it will become, in the hands of Providence that caused the decay, the fructifying seed of our national regeneration. " Such is now the frightful state of this country, brought on, as it were, by a systematic collusion be tween the Irish landlords and the English Legislature:; and to which Ireland never would have been reduced had she the protection of a native Parliament. The famine has not, it is true, directly sprung f rom th e Union. B u t severe as i t i s, i t would not be so fatal if Ireland had net been rendered too feeble to• cope with the calamity by the emaciating process to which it had been previously subjected. As it is then an in contestable truth that it is to the Union our present un- Prepared and destitute condition is to be traced, a have a strict right, without any imputation of injustice or mendicancy, to large grants, proportional to the crisis, from the Imperial Exchequer. Wl:ilst we supplied you with our abundant produce, we were as dear and as cherished a portion of the empire as Yorkshire, or any other shire in England. Nothing ti~ L_,....y .. - TIIE BARON DE BODE. — Another lamentable con sequence of the opposition offered by the Government to the generally admitted just claims of the recently deceased B iron & Bode is announced in the latest letters from Russia, bearing date December, by which it appears that the lady of the surviving claimant, Baron Clement de Bode, has expired under excitement and anxiety, oc casioned by the responsibilities and peculiar position in which her family are placed by the recent decision of the court' in telation to his case. At the same time we learn that it is the determination of the present Baron to prosecute the long pending suit with energy, assisted by the most talented and distinguished counsel of the day, in defiance of any opposition that may hereafter be offered by the law and its technicalities. The arrival cf the Baron is hourly expected. - . / per barrel of 14 etone. The average price of O a t s i n I ordinary years was from 75. 6d. to 9s. But even at the starvation price of 20s. the scramble to obtain it was frightful. TRALEE, SATURDAY.—During the week wheat has been steadily advancing on a limited supply and a good many bidders, until it may be quoted this day at from ss. to ss. 3d. per peck of stone. Oats, however, has receded. There was a tolerable supply in market this day, and may be bought at 151 d. to 154 x. per stone—a decline of three farthings per stone on the general prices of the week. There was very little barley offered—it is a scarce article in the market—but what was presented brought 16d. per stone. There has been an advance of 4s. a bag on flour, and in the retail prices sd. per stone, on first quality flour. Com—Several vessels, laden with grain, have arrived from the Continent since our last. They are all, how ever, with the exception of one destined for Sligo, of small tonnage. The supply, notwithstanding, is very - seasonable. A large American has also come in. Amongst other cereal produce, she brings 3,000 barrels of flour. We believe she discharges here —Cork Examiner. *IRISH BANKS OF ISSUE, It appears by the return of the Irish Banks of Issue, which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of Monday, that the total average circulation of the Bank of Ireland for the period embraced in the return has been lessened by 55,975/. as compared with that for the previous four weeks; and the average amount of gold and silver held by the . Bank shows a decrease of 13,1111. from the last return. The Provincial Banl.'s circulation has been lessened by 21,2211 ; and the bullion has been increased by 21,289..

VICE REGAL COURT.—His Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant entertained the following party at dinner yesterday evening, at the Vice Regal Lodge :—The Ladies Ponsonby, Mr. and Lady Maria Ponsonby, Hon. General Ponsonby, Mr. A. Ponsonby ; Mr. , Mrs., and Miss Fortescue ; Sir Willi am Somervill, Col. Browne, Mr. Hervie, Mr. Hayden. Lord Dunkellin, aid-de-camp in Waiting. REDUCTION OF Tilt TEA DUTIES.—The 'Belfast Chamber of Commerce has resolved, by an unanimous vote, upon memoralising her Majesty's Government for a reduction of duties upon tea. DESTRUCTION OF SHANNONVALE MILLS.—A report is current in town that these mills, the property of the Messrs. Allen, were destroyed by fire last night. If true, this unfortunate event is at the present crisis, and in the present melancholy position of the poor of that district, a national calamity. The benevolent owners of these concerns were actively engaged in doing everything to alleviate the distress of those around them, and were, when the fire took place, about to bring round a cargo of barley for the supply of the wants of the poor in that district. We have no particulars of the occurrence, but we give the statement as we have had it. It is said 8,000 barrels of wheat were consumed.—Cork Ezaminer. DISTILLATION FROM GRAIN.—At a general meeting of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce, held on Saturday, arttr a lengthened conversation regarding the means of . supply and amount of demand for food in these king doms, it was considered that our present state and pros pects imperatively call for the precaution of every economy in its use ; and it was unanimously resolved that a memorial be forwarded without delay to the Trea sury, tram the Chamber of Con.rnerce of Belfast, pray loss, under existing circumstances, for a temporary pro hibition of the use of grain in distilleries and breweries. An address to the Mayor, asking him to call a town meeting for an early day, to consider the subject, has ob tained numerous and influential names, and been most generally signed. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. The following are the most prominent paasages of a letter addressed to Lord John Russell by Dr. M'Hale:— " St. Jarlath's, Tuam, Dec. 15, 18-16. " Dignus imperio . . si non imperasset.'—Tecrrus. "'Had he not the misfortune to rule, he would have been decreed deserving of empire.' "My Lord,—This sententious contrast between the hopes of the aspiring Caesar, and the disappointment in flicted by the reigning emperor, is but too apflicable to those statesmen whose talents, so hopeful in opposition, seem to be blighted on their attainment of political power. Wiihin the brief interval of twelve months, two remarkable letters have appeared, bearing your Lordship's signature. The one boldly promulgated the sow d doctrine of free trade, and exprt ssed a generous sympathy with the destitution of the Irish people, which was but light compared to the famine with which they are now afflicted. The other was so chilling as to have filled those with despair whom it would have been wisdom to console—among whom hunger now rages with such terrible activity, that it is consigning to the grave its daily victims. The one was the studied essay of a popular candidate for the distinctions of office, the other was the cold and conventional language which was borrowed from the political ritual of preceding prime ministers. It was on budyant hopes inspired by the lan guage of the first your lordship was borne to your sent responsible position - ; and should you persevere in a line of policy towards a suMring nation accordant with the. cold-hearted sentiments contained in your second letter, it requires no extraordinary prescience to pred:c that it will assuredly prove the precursor ofyour politica • " But whether they meet and aid you by their coun sel, or whether they remain aloof in their isolated help lessness, the Prime Minister cannot be absolved from the high responsibility of providing for the public weal. The period that is assigned for the meeting of Pat liarnent may appear near to the children of opuknce, and amid3t all the charms awl solace of society it will soon pass over. But it will be a dreary and a long period to the perishing inhabitants of lrelartl. Deep snow is at this moment covering the earth, and even the miserable day's hire, which could not afford half a meal in the twenty-four hours to all the members of a wretched family, is, in many instances, withdrawn. I shudder at the conse quences. It is too painful t) contemplate. Unless you adopt more enlarged measures than throwing the relief of the people on the andlords, who, whatever be their sins, should be corrected and reformed rather than anni hilated, your Ministry will be memorable in Ireland; and if you are ambitious of a monument, the people's bones, slain with the sword of the famine,' and piled into cairns more numerous than the ancient pyramids, shall tell posterity the ghastly triumphs of your brief but dis astrous administration. " JOHN, ARCHBISHOP OF TUAM." INDIAN RAILWAYS.

PAROCHIAL MEDICAL NEGLECT.—OrI Wednesday Mr. Mils held an inquest at the Clerkenwell Work house, Coppice-row, on the body of Ann Wright, aged 16, a servant. It appeared that on Wednesday last, about one o'clock, deceased returned ill from her situ don to her mother, who resiles near the workhouse. Deceased complained of, severe pain in the chest, and in an hour after her return her mother obtained an order for medical relief at the workhouse. The order was on Mr. Gil!, one of the parish medical officers, and the mother took it without delay to his house, at which she knocked and rang for a quarter of an hour, without receiving an answer. The house appeared to her as if shut up. She returned to the workhouse and reported her ill success. She was told to go back to Mr. Gill's, and knock until she was answered. She did so about four o'clock, and saw Mrs. Gill, to whom she delivered the order. That lady told her that her husband was seri ously ill, and could not attend, but that her son should as soon as he came home, which would be at five o'clock. The mother returned to her daughter, who was still snaring severe pain, and seven o'clock arriving, with. out the attendance of Mr. Gill, jun., she returned to his house, and he prescribed for her daugh ter on having her symptoms mentioned to him, telling her that if any change for the worse took place, to come to him again at ten o'clock, but if not, ho would call and see her at twelve o'clock . the following day. She administered the remedies prescribed by Mr. Gill, jun., and no change taking place in her daugliV-r she d'd not go and see him again that night. Next morning her daughter was able to get up, but afterwards went to bed again, and twelve o'clock having . struck, and Mr. Gill, jun., not coming, deceased expressed anxiely and disappointment, and died at a quarter to one o'clock, that gentleman nct having seen her at all. Dr. Quain, who had made a post martcm examination of the body, stated that the cause of death was inflammation of the lining membrane of the heart, of recent standing. Mr. Gill, jun. ' said that h e did not understand from the mother that her daughter's case was an urgent one. She gave him a history of it, and from the symptoms he con sidered that the girl was sufferin g from infl uenza . Ver dict—" Nat u r a l d eat h from the effects of pericarditis ; " the jury adding, "we do not consider that the deceased bad received that efficient and prompt medical aid which her ease r. quired." could exceed the indissoluble closeness, nay, the affec tion of the Union. But when adversity comes upon us, in consequence of this legislative identity—when fidnine walks, like the destroying angel, through the land, and the instances of death are now too many and too fami liar to select one for peculiar commiseration—then we are to be told, ' You have no claim on us—we have no connexion with you—sink or swim, look to your selves, and rely on your own resources.' Would such be the language to Yorkshire in the days of a vengeful visitation? Is it thus the Minister would repulse the cries of the starving people of Northumberland? Oh, no; he would not have the heart to give utterance to such a sentiment, or, if he should, Yorkshire and Nor thumberland would not tamely forego their constitutional right to a share of • the common imperial exchequer, to the funds of which they had contributed. It is only Ireland that can be flattered with the name of a Union, when-giving her heart's blood to the prosperity of the empire; and then, in her anition, to be abandoned to starvation. " We value property, :but we value the Peace of the country and the lives of the people more. Nay, the most efficient guardians of property are those who are solici tous for preserving the lives of the people. They are not ignorant of what the instincts of nature suggest, and the axioms of jurists lay eown on the rights of pro- . perty, when life is becoming the victim of starvation. For the patience' theyevince, society is indebted to the sacred influence of religion. Yes, it is to the hallowed . teaching of the Catholic clergy the peace of the country is due? What is their requital ? The exhibition of a rancorous bigotry, which has been infused into the com pOsition of relief committees from high quarters. The curates, forsooth, are not persons of sufficient considera tion to be put on reliefeommittees I Yet more than once, wLen all the influence of armed men ar.d stipendiary ma gistrates had failed, have these very curates been se lected and sent forth to calm the stormy masses of the people rushing for food with all the rage of hunger chef irg with any opdosition to their terrible instincts—in= stincts which it would have failed any other influence on earth to appease. I say nothing of the marked exclusion from the benefits of the public works of those sacred edifices from which such humanising in fluences go forth. It is better that they should rise and be sustained by the poor people themselves, and, like the priesthood who officiate in them, stand aloof as sacred monuments, free from the desecration with which an official anti-Catholic patronage would be sure to soil them. It is fortunate for the country that its priests and temples are in a state of holy independence. For should your infidel colleges ever flourish, or the pro nniseuous education which you patronise bring forth its natural fruits, you would find that lectures on the rights of property in extremis would scarcely be listened to with the grave and qualifying commentaries of the bench or the pulpit. "Your Lordship has now a great destiny to fulfil—the rescuing an entire people from the jaws of famine; for nothing less than millions from the Imperial Exchequer can avert the doom that hangs over the Irish nation. Be prepared, then, to advocate such an enlarged mea sure; or, since your humanity would shrink, from the spectacle of a nation perishing by famine—you will, doubtless, retire from the helm which you may find yourself unable to guide. Such a measure of Belief from the Imperial Exchequer must be indispensable, notwithstanding all the aid and apsthy which may be lent by the Irish landlords. Their apathy and listlessness, their want of council and concert, at a moment which require - a - their united energies are not among the least melancholy of the forebodings n hich our awful condition forces on every reflecting mind. It would seem as if there were no aristocracy in the country, or as if the confusion of ' the great ones of Tanis' were come upon them. They seem altogether etranannt d, and shorn of those national attributes with 'A Lich home of their ancestors were endued. Their pro • petty shifting away from under their feet, and they seem se'aci with an utter inability to arrest the ruin. They are clamorous for reproductive works, in order to be relieved of the labour-rate. They talk much of re munerative labour, but little of remunerative tenure, utterly forgetting that it was the tenant's want of per manent security to enjoy in substantial food the fruit of their improvements, that consigned our popula tion, as if they sere wandering tribes, to such a preca rious root as the potato, and that without tenure shish sill make the labour reproductive to both tenants and landlords, no agricultural improvements such as the crisis demands, will ever be achieved. Let the security of tenure, then, and a fair remuneration for improvement, form an essential part of any amendment of the Latour Act, and it will be seen what a magical effect it will have in drawing away the people to the seasonable cultivation of their own little farms. The landlords are continuing too long with their arms f o ld e d . They seem unwilling t o mee t in Dublin, and take counsel of each other. Perhaps they are apprehensive lest some mighty conjuror in the assembly should scare them away by evoking the unwelcome apparition of a repeal of the union. Such fears afford sufficient evidence that they who entertain them, whilst they listlessly look on the ruin of their property, are. not the persons who would bring much of the wisdom to the deliberations of a national legislature. .

Thomas Brady and James Sul'ivain, two young lads, were charged with stealing; a firkin of butter, the pro perty of Mr. Osborne, a aeesemonger in the borough, and William Payne, a marine store dealer, in Bermond sey-street, was charged as the receiver of the stolen property. It appeared that en the preceding afternoon a firkin of butter, the property of Mr. Osborn, was stolen from a waggon while in transik from Carpenter Smith's wharf in Tooley street. The firkin was subsequently seen by two persons in the pcssession of a man in the company of the two first named prisoners, and they went into the marine store dealer's with the intention of disposing of it. The prisoners, however, perceiring they . were watched; ran out of the marine store shop, leaving the butter behind them, but they were subsequently taken into custody. The marine store dealer 'attended as a witness. in Court, but the magistrate, on being made acquained with the fact of his being about to purchase the stolen propel ty imrnadiately ordered him into the dock with the other prisoners. Payne, the naati7.e store dealer, endeavoured to get out of the difficulty by saying that a man came into his shop and threw down the firkin of butter, which was in a bag, and then ran cut, leaving it behind him. That he (prisoner)` was quite ignorant as to the contents of the bag until afterwards and he declared that he had no intention of puchasing such an article,, but was about to call in a policemen to relate the circumstance. This latter assertion, however, was contradicted by the policeman and a witness, who said the other pri soners remained some time in the marine store shop, and were about bargaining with the ether prisoner (Payne) had not the discovery taken place. Mr, SECKER said he should certainly send the pri soners for trhd, but that as other evidence was required to complete the case, he should remand them till next Wednesday. rontht next examin at i on.

MAY AND STEWAP.T. This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 16s. 2d., for work and labour for the defendant. The defendant May suffered judgment to go by default ; the other de feadant pleaded that he was not indebted. Mr. J. GRAY stated the case. The plaintiff is a carpenter at Sonuing, near Reading, and the defendants in 1843 and 1844 were ironmorgers, &eain Holborn, and contracted for some work done at Reading gaol. May superintended that work, but he thought he should be able to prove that, at the time the work was done, the de'endants were in partnership. Although it was true that the plaintiff wars not aware at the time that Stewai t was a partner, and his dealing had been with May, yet if Stewart was even a dormant partner, he was liable. It would be shown that when the contract was completed at Reading gaol, Stewart receive.l the money in the names of May and Stewart, and shortly after. this the defendants took contracts for Wanstead Asylum, and also for works at the Royal Exchange. The work done by the plaintiff was in February and March, 1844, and he had to contend, that although Stewart's name might have bei-n concealed in the contract, he wai liable. He under stood that the defence would be that the partnership did not commence until a few 'days after the Reading contract was entered into, and that a partnership deed would be put in evidence ; that, however, would not dis ..provealiat a partnership did not exist before, and such documents aught to be looked upon with caution, as it aas easy for persons to create evidence for themselves to protect One partner. It would also be set up that the money fur the Reading contract hr.d been received by Stewart under an assignment of the debts of the firm, May being in embarrassed circumstances. lie should, however, be able to show that even in September forty three actions had been brought against May and Stewart, and a set-off of that firm was pleaded; other actions had been brought against both parties, and which wire settled ; and even while the work was .going on, Stewart ordered materials, and sent them down to Reading. To set ua that the credit was given to May would be no answer to the action if there was a partnership, which defendant May had admitted, by suffering judgment to go by default. A great number of witnesses were then called, to show that both before and after the plaintiff did the work Stewart acted as tamaster in the shop, and over other works. A letter signed by defendant Stewart, signed for May and Stewart, in which he excused themselves from pay ment of a bill, on the ground of their having the works at Reading and Aylesbury gads was then produced. Mr. OGLE, for the defendant Stewart, put in the deed of partnership, dated the 25th March, 1844, and that the whole of the work was done before the 14th of March, and that previous to the 25th of March Stewart was only acting as an assistant to May (his brother-in-law), who was in the country. He did not dispute the law as laid down by his Learned Friend, but denied that the evidence was at all conclusive that there was a partner ship at the time. The deed of partnership was then put in and objected to, en the ground that it was a deed made behind the back -of the plaintiff. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF held that it could be admitted. In summing up, however, he told :he jury that it did net follow that because a deed was executed on a particular day, that a partnership did not exist before as far as a division of profit and loss went, although they might not have held themselves out to the world as such. Tile set-off in the action was a point of consider able importance —it was not 'conch:mire evidence of a general partnership, but it went far to prove the fact, and it would be a singular thing if they were partners in Sqtember, 1843, and not soin February, but again to in March, The jury stopped the case, and found fir the plaintiff. Mr. OGLE asked leave to move to set aside the verdict, as paiintiff had made out the bill to May only. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that if the . plaintiff did no know there was a partnership, he was not bound. I. was entirely a question for the jury, and he saw no rea• son to disturb the verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-. GUILDHALL. Mr. rate son, a tailor, was mninioned before Mr. Al derman Wilson for assaulting Mark Anthony Markham, his apprentice. Mr. Scott, a solicitor, rn behalf of tha d fondant, ob jected that he was not an apprentice, for the indenture had not been stamped, and was not worth a farthing. The lad's taller said this was very odd, as this gentle man drew up the indenture, and charged 143. Gd. for his trouble. He also told him that all was complete. Mr. Scott replied, he told him it would require a stamp for 11. If the father had not paid it, that was his fault. The father denied that he received any such intima tion. The defendant told his boy about three weeks after the binding that he could have an apprentice with a 501. premium, and he had ill-used him ever since. Mr. Alderman WILSON said it was an ungracious act on the part of the solicitor to seek to take advantage of the want of a stamp. He ought not to have prepared such indentures, or should have given the parties full notice that they were of no use whatever if they wire not stamped. Mr. Scott said his client had no desire to take any ad 7 vantage, and he was ready to carry out the indenture as if it were stamped. lie told the father they ought to be stamped. _ _ - Mr. - Alderman WlLaorr said "he could take cognizttnoe of a charge of assault without - regard to the apprentice-. 'ship, • ;Ile asked oat.premium was paid? The master said none. It was a. binding, for only two years. The boy was a thorough bad temper. " Mr. Alderman Johnson joined Mr. Alderman Wilson in hearing the case. It appeared that the boy came forty minutes beyond his time, during which the master was working without a fire on a frosty day. When the lad began to light the fire he threw the fender , aside so a s to b rea k a p i ece of it off, .and chip a piece off' the oil cloth. The master ordered him to . leave. The boy would not go, and in resisting his master's efforts to force him out gave him a black eye The toy had previously received two blows in the face, and had been beaten over the arms to make trim give up his hold of a looking glass, which he meant to purl down if his master persisted in forcing him away. The MAGISTRATES wereof opinion that the master had Oven way• to unnecessary violence iu the outset, instead or appealing to the magistrate. At the same time, con siclering'that the apprentice had struck the master, they reduced the fine to ss. and costs. As the servant was paid weekly wages, he might set up his claim for wages at the Court of Requests, if the master refused to pay what was due to him. A donation of 101. was received from the Goldsmiths' Company. LAMBETH. ALLEGED. CRUELTY TO AN INFANT BY ITS MOTIER. —Emma Allen, a rather good-looking young woman, at present an inmate of Lambeth workhouse, was brought before Mr. Elliott, by order of Mr. Bushell, one of the guardians of Lambeth parish, on a charge of ill using an infant, her illegitimate offspring. Several witnesses were examined, who deposed to the prisoner having been in the habit of treating her infant with great inhumanity, snch as feeding it with food so hot as to scald its mouth, and so beating, pinching, and bruising it as to reduce it to a wretched state. Mr. Johnson, assistant to Mr. Duke, the parish sur geon, deposed that he had attended the prisoner's child for some time, and did not at any time perceive any marks of violence upon it. The complaint under which the child was labouring was diarrhoea, and it was much worse now than while he had been attending it. - Mr. ELLIOTT—Had you ever examined the child to ascertain if there were marks of violence upon it? Witness—No, sir, I did not ; I had not the slightest suspicion that it had been ill-used, and therefore did not think it necessary to examine it. Mr. ELLIOTT—How long has it been ill? Witness— About five weeks. Mr. ELLIOTT—DO you think the diarrhoea might have been produced by the infant being bruised and pinched, or giving to it food too hot, as has been de scribed, or has it been the result of natural causes? Witness— From natural causes, I should think. Mr. ELLIOTT—What was your opinion as to the pri soner's treatment of her infant? Witness—Sha did not appear to ma to be over kind or attentive to her infant. Mr. Bushell here said that the matron of the ward had frequently spoken to the prisoner about her negli gence and treatment of her infant, and he wished to ask the prisoner what her replies used to be? Prisoner— I always told lecr "I had a right to do what I liked with my own." Mr. ELLIOTT—This expression, together with the evidence that has been given, satisfies me that you are not a person who should be entrusted with the care of an infent. It is quite clear that you are a person of very violent temper, and that you have not treated your child as you should have done, and my order theref ore is, that th e c hild b e ta k en from you, and sent to the nursery, and that you yourself be taken back to the workhorse until you can provide yourself with a situation., The prisoner was then discharged. ROBBERY AT ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—George Morris, property man, and Thomas Wray, one of the carpenters at As , l,y's Theatre, were finally examined on a charge of stealing eight wands, the property of Mr. William Batty, their employer. From the testimony of Mr. Batty, the proprietor of Astley's Theatre, and Mr. Broadfoot, his stage manager, it appeared that on Sunday evening last the former gen. tietram was sitting near the outer gate when the men were going away from work, and observing the prisoner Wray suddenly turn back on p erce i v i ng him, he fol lowed him, and found in his possession six four-feet and two six-!eet wands, handsomely painted and decorated with rich tinsel paper. He gave varied accounts about the property, but at length admitted that he had made them from the timber belonging to Mr. Batty, for Mor rie, the property man, and was taking them out for his use. Morris did not deny that the wands, which were for a private order, had been made from the wood belong ing 0) Air. Batty, and by Wray, one of the carpenters, but :laid that the tinsel. paper, colouring, and deooration were his own, He was unable, however, to prove the latter ; asd Mr. ELLIOTT ordered'. both prisoners for trial. Oa the kind intercession of Mr. Batty, who said that Morri3 had been for a hngth of time in his service, at a salary of two guineas a week, and the other prisoner had also kern in his employment for some time, and, with overtime, earned nearly as much, the case was taken summarily, and the prisoners wero committed for . 21 days each to the Hon se of Correction. GREENWICH: ALLEGED FELONY.—James Scudder, a sawyer, and G. Furman, a dissolute fellow, having no fixed place cf abode, were charged with stealing a clock, the property of Richard Thomas, a coachman, residing at Sydenham, und,.r the following circumstances Mr. Thomas deposed that himself and Wife were sitting she turned round and saw her gold watch in his hand. It was not detached from the chain, but he must have taken it out of a kind of fob or pocket in the breat of her gown. There were a number of other persons around them, to whom she said that the prisoner had attempted to steal her watch ; but instead of rendering her any assistance. they seemed rather inclined to facilitate his escape. The beadle found her purse empty on the floor. It had been taken from her pocket, but by whom she could not state. Another lady, also, stated that she missed her purse in a few minutes after the prisoner had been standing close to her, and pressing against her, without any ap parent reason. The prisoner was remanded till Monday, THAMES. GENERAL FLORES' EXPEDITION.—Towards the close of the proceedings at this Court Mr. Adderley Widcochs Sleigh, K.T.s., who, it was understood, was to have commanded the squadron intended to aid General Flores' expedition was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged by Inspector Evans of the river police, under the 59th Geo. 111 , cap. 69, see. 2, with unlawfully enlisting British subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the sanction or consent of her Msjesty. Mr. Cottering, solicitor to the Board of Customs, who attended for the prosecution, said that as the defendant had only been just arrested, the case was not in a state for thorough investigation then, but he would pro duce evidence sufficient to warrant a remand. He then called John Wyming, resident at No. 9, Crown street, Westminster, who deposed that he was an Englishman, and had served in the Portuguese Legion. About seven weeks ago he was engaged to act as sergeant in a corps going to the Equador, and was told at the time that he would be certain of promotion. On the 15th ult. he was sent to the Angel, at Rotherhithe, where he saw Cap tain Sleigh, with whom he had served on the continent, who was pas,ing two or three hundred men, as they were examined by the doctor. The captain told the men they were going to the Equador, were the privates -a ere to have six dollars per month, the corporals eight, and the' sergeants twelve, with clothes, rations, a house, two bullocks, and a cow each, He told the men that they must not object to fight if they found it necessary to protect their property, but he said privately to witness, " You are the sort of man I want, though the others need not know anything about the matter." Wit ness heard something mentioned in the presence of the prisoner about the men thus engaged being called emi grants,.but he did not hear the term soldier used, unless the word sergeant could be so construed. A promise was held out to the men that they would rind most com forteble accommodation on board the vessels engaged for the expedition, namely, the Monarch, the Neptune, and the Glenelg. Witness had instructions to engage all the old hands he could fall in with, by which he understood those who had served with himself and the defendant, in Spain and .Portugal. Witness acted in accordance with his instructions, and his mode of doing so was after the usual way of military enlistment. Ile had no doubt that he himself was enlisted for some foreign mili tary service. Thomas Rinings was then called, and stated that he was a lapidary, residing at 6, Wood's-buildings, George street, Chelsea. He had served under Captain Sleigh in Spain, and seeing a placard headed "Emigration to the Equador," with a reference to Captain Sleigh, ap plied to that gentleman, who said he was the sort of man he wanted, and desired him to procure as many of the " old hands" as possible to join General Flores in South America. Witness did not understand more than that they were to drive away some Don Roquo, who had been set up as President, and that General Flores did not wish to undertake the expedition without the assis tance of an English force. Captain Sleigh on that oece d that there would not be much military ser vice to be performed, as the breast work and batteries were such as any man of spirit might kick down with his foot. Witness had engaged 50 or 60 men , arid din timely understood th a t he bad engaged them for a mi litary service. The defendant, however, told some of the men that they were going out as emigrants, whilst ho told others that they were going out as soldiers. . Mr. YARDLEY said there was sufficient evidence to call upon the defendant to find bail to answer the charge. The defendant, a fine agile-lcoking young fellow, about 30 years of age, whose features were deeply bronzed by exposure to various climes, and who looked more like a Spaniard than a native of the sister isle, asked with a tone of mingled surprise and composure, " What is the charge?" Mr. YARDLEY —That of unlawfully enlisting British subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the sanction of their sovereign. Captain Sleigh—Why these men have already served under a foreign power, and I am not aware that they had'such sanction. Mr. YARDLEY—That does not form the question now before 'me. The defendant (glancing contemptuously at the wit nesses)—l do not pretend to understand the question, for my solicitor is not here. All I know is, that these faithful followers, who tell you that they fought with and served under me in Spain, have been brought here for some paltry purpose, that I cannot approve'; and I am glad to find that General Flores' expedition is not likely to be disgraced by the service of such- despicable wretches. They solicited the service from me, for they sought me, and I not them. It was unnecessary for you', sir, to issue a warrant for my apprehension ; the slightest intimation that my presence here would be necessary would haveinstintly brought me. Ido not feel myself :at all disgraced by my position:- fur being 'bred- to arm:-: I would, in the pursuit of my profession, engage in any foreign , service not opposed to my own legitimate sovereign. Mr. YARDLEY held the prisoner to bail to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court, himself in 200/, and two sureties of 100/. each ; but he will be brought up again to complete the evidence. CRUELTY TO A TIORSE. A brutal-looking fellow, named Charles Frankling, was charged with horribly maltreating a horse, the property of Mr. David Stevens, corn merchant, of North-street, Poplar. It appeared ' that the horse was a young and playful animal, and would bite, through mere playfulness, at those wbo were employed in dressing it up for the night. The prisoner, though cautioned as to the animal's pro pensities, neglected the usual precaution of binding him up by a head-stall, and the consequence was, that it gave him a. nip in the side, which broke the flesh. The fellow immediately seized the stable fork, and after belabouring the poor animal desperately about the sides, plunged one of the prongs deeply into the fleshy part of one of its hind-quarters. The veterinary surgeon could not say whether the animal would or would not survive the injury, and the complainant stated that he was at a loss per day amounting to almost IL The prisoner was fined 405., and in default committed for fourteen days. by the parlour fire, about half past eight o'clock the pre ' ccding evenin,q, who: he heard the street•door fo:ced open, and i:rn.diately afterwards the prisoners cemo into the parkur and wallicd round the table, Scudder lighting his pipe at the candle. They then loft the hotve, and immediately after they were gone, a boy came and told him that a man had run off with his clock, which was kept in the passage. John Hopkins stated that he was standing near the house when he he saw the pris-ner Furnam come out with the clock under his arm, and make off as fast as he was able, and because witness noticed him, he used very abusive and threatening language. The other prisoner was standing at the door, but left immediately after wards, going the co n t rar y way . C. I..ever, police-constable, 72 R, deposed that he ap prehended the prisoners, both of whom denied taking the clock away. The clock was subsequently found secreted in the out premises of the Woodman beer-shop, which is kept by the father of the prisoner Scudder. .1. Jeriltiuoli, 10 R, deposed that he found the clock. The pendulum and w(ights were found in the road, but the bell of the chy-k was lost. Scudder denied being concerned in the clock robbery, or that he knew it had been rt moved Off the premises. He had certainly gone in and lit his pipe, and that was his only offence. Mr. Thomas said he (lid not believe Scudder would rob him; he had an opinion that Scudder would do no thing wrong towards him. The police-constable told Mr. Jeremy that the prisoner Furnam was a painter and glazier, but seldom worked, and slept about in sheds and barns at night. Mr. JEREMY said, he did not think felony was in tended, but a most daring and impudent trespass had been committed by both prisdners, and he should fine them 10s. each, and order them to pay ss. each for the damage done to the clock, and in default he should com mit them for one month to the House of Correction. The prisoners were locked up. THE RECENT 111.UtiDER- AND SUICIDE AT LAMBETH. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE TWO BODIES On Wednes.lay afternoon Mr. W. Carter, coroner fir Surrey, and a respectable jury, assembled at the Hero ot. Waterloo, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the respective deaths of Hannah Reed, aged 30, and of William Reed, aged eleven months, • who were found drowned in such a mysterious manner on the forenoon of Monday last. • The jury having been sworn; they proceeded, with the Coroner, to view the bodies, which were lying in the vaults of St. John's Church. Upon the return of the jury, the first witness called was— Richard Pierse, a lad of 17, who said that on Monday forenoon he was in company with another lad, named Thomas Martin, looking for pieces of coal at the river side. When off West's wharf they discovered the bodies under circumstances previously described in this journal. Frederick Anderson, a son of one of the beadles of the parish,. said that, in consequence of information he received, he went to the water side, and there saw th e bodies. The c hild was t i ed round the woman's waist with a piece of laycord, which was passed round the two bodies twice, and finally fastened to the woman's bonnet and cap. strings. The cord was also passed over the child's arms and shoulders. He had the deceased re moved to the vaults of St. John's Church. Ann Jones, of 39, New-street, Webber-street, Lam beth, said that she had known the deceased about fit teen months. She had been living in the same room with witness during the last three months. She had no male rrotector, bet had been maintained by witness as well as :he could afford. She had no means of supporting her self and child, but she received Is. 6d. per week from St. Dunstan's parish. Witness saw the deceased alive for the last time on Thursday evening. She went out at seven o'clock, saying at the same time that she was going to meet the father of her child ; and she expected her home the same night, but she did not return again. On Tuesday she heard of her death. The CORONER—Did you ever hear her threaten to dk”tr.y herself ? Witness—Yes ; a month ago I heard her say if her circumstances did not, alter she would drown herself. She also said, if she did so she would drown her child also. I told her at the time how wrong it was to talk in that manner, when she replied, " All ! you don't know my feelings." I have often seen her crying, and my belief is that she destroyed the life of her child, and also her own life. A letter, written by the unfortunate female, was here identified by the ;fitness ; it was found in her box, and was as follows "I do not wish you to put on a black hat-band for me, as you have been so unkind to Ilse in life. What few rags I leave behind me and my tickets, let not your wife touch, for if she does, may the retribution of Heaven be upon le r If Ann thinks fit to accept of them, she is quite welcome for her kindness to me and my dear babe. 'He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.' I die in peace with those who are my enemies—may Heaven forgive them ! James, I now take my pen in hand to address a few lines to you for the last time. I certainly And your unkindness to exceed more than what I once could have thought. You have allowed me to have been driven houseless, with a dear babe at my breast, by a base wicked woman. You have not so much as even inquired about me. I should have thought you would, en account of the dear child, when you professed so much love, which must have been deceit: Mark me, the day is not far distant when she whoelaims you as her husband may a n d w ith wan t a home and bread, as bad as I should if it had not been for Ann and her husband. You have said a great deal about them, but they have, been much greater friends to me than ever you were. lam now about to commit a deed which my very soul shudders at ; but I cannet live any longer as I now am living. Perhaps it till be p!easing to you to hear o! my body and that of my dear babe being picked up. Consider your unkindness and poverty have driven me to the deed. As to your wife, I hope she will feel her conscience prick her when lum in the grave. My dear babe will go to heaven, and I hope the Lord w ill forgive me and t a k e my sou l to himself. lam now your unhappy, but when this you receive I shall be no more. I forgive you all your wickedness." The letter was addressed to her brother James, but a as not signed nor dated, Mary Smith, a sister-in-law of the deceased, said that three months since she heard deceased threaten to destroy herself: She believed hes circumstances had caused her mind to become impaired. s' 'The wife of the brother, to whom the above letter was addressed, said that she was unable to keep the de ceased; she had only one room for her own family, and sh e did not think it prudent for another female to sleep in the same apartment. She offered to take the child if it seas weaned, and the mother went to service, which she refused. The Learned CORONER having summed up, he ex plained the law bearing upon the case in a very clear 'manner, when the court was cleared of strangers, and after :ome time consulting together, the jury returned a verdict, " That Hannah Reed had wilfully murdered William Reed, and destroyed her own life, she being a the time of unsound mind." TWO EXTENSIVE FIRES. Yesterday morning the metropolis was visited by the out break of two extensive fires which were not extil;guished until a vast amount of valuable property was consumed. The first outbreak took place at four o'clock, upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. Banfill, and Mr. Hatchfield, cabinet-makers and uphqlsterers, 20, Edward street, Langham-place, St. Mary It bone. The disc overy was made by a police-constable passing. along his beat. He immediately aroused the inmates, but the fire had obtained such a firm hold that it was with great diffi culty the residents were able to effect a safe retreat. The ' engines of the parish, London brigade, County, an d W est of England offices, together with an escape belonging to the Roy al Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, were rosuarkably early in arriving, and there being plenty of water at hand, the firemen under the direction of their foreman, Let to work most vigorously, but it was nearly six o'clock, before the fire could be subdued, and not nntil it had passed throughout the building, de stroying in its progri ss the whole of the furniture. stock in trade and other effects. How the fire originated could not be learned. i The second fire broke out at seven o'clock. at 32, Old . street-road, the property of Mr. R. Harris, also an upholsterer and cabinet-maker. The flames originated . in-the manufactory. At the time of the outbreak, one or two of the workmen and apprentices were in the place, and they immediately tried to subdue the fire, by throw ing buckets of water upon it ; in that endeavour they were foiled. Finding that they were unable to get the mastery over the flames, one of the parties started off to Wintecross-street engine station, with intelligence of the disaster. Mr. Mullett, the head engineer, immediately started to the spot, but before sufficient time had elapsed to set the engine to work, the whole of the extensive back premises, and the front ware house and dWelline, were wrapped in one immense sheet of flame. The sparks and large flakes of fire were at the same time ascending high into the air, threatening destruction to the surrounding habitations. As soon as possible the engine was set to work, and by distributing the water over the tops of the adjoining houses, they were prevented from becoming ignited. Numerous other engines from the parish of Shore ditch, and the London Brigade, with Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, followed in rapid succession, and owing to the combined exertions of all, the further progress of the destructive element was cut off, but not until the back premises were levelled to the ground, their contents destroyed, and the whole of the costly furniture in the front building consumed. At eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon the engines were still working upon the. smouldering ruins.
