ALARMING FIRE AT A LICENSED VICTUALLERS. -- On Saturday morning, between five and six o'clock, the neighbourhood of Leicester-square was thrown into a state of the utmost e‘mfusion by the sudden outbreak of a fire on the premises of :sir. F. R. &niter, Bull Tavern Leicester street. T o e fi re was t 2x ';ng , ui'. l "l (1 until the prernis were considerably- d.onagc,i. The stock and premises are insured an the Sun and Hand-in-Hand. Mr. Boulteers home Tree unfortunately en fire about ten month s ago. MR. FOX MA ULE AT PERTIL Mr. Fox Mettle, who bats been appointed to the office of President of the India Board, addressed the electors of Perth in. the City Hall there, on Thursday, asking a renewal of the political connection that had au long ex heed between them. On the same day Mr. Charles Gilpin arrived in Perth to oppose Mr. inleule, and he also shortly addressed the centers. The nomination is to take place cn Monday, but it is not generally thought in Perth that Mr. Gilpin will go the poll, as his chance of euccese is very remote. It will be seen from what follows; that Mr. Mule touched on a number of im portant topics. Lord Provost DEWAR, who occupied the chair, intro duced Mr. Mauls to the meeting. Mr. Menet; said the present was the fourth time he had appear e d beford them as a candidate for that high honour. Twice they had returned him without a con test, and once they had returned him triumphantly after a contest. They had had experience of him in various ce oacitiee—as acting against the Government of toe day, as an independent Member of Parliament acting widt the Government, and as a Member of her Majesty's Cabinet—and during alt that time he was prond that he had b4n able to maintein the confidence of the elector', arid to carry out the liberal principles with which he started, without ever having heard the least whisper of dissatisfaction from the constituency. It had been often stated and asserted, during the recess, and dwelt upon with great perseverance by that portion of the ; press opposed to the present Cabinet, that nothing existed but a weak Government, unable to guide and conduct the destinias of this great nation. He did not stand there to praise the Government; hut this he would say, that the present Government had been in power long enough not to be unwilling now to retire, and they remained to office•inore for the sake of the country, and of the Crown, than from any wish to cling to power. If those persons who were always complaining of the Go verment as weak, and blaming them for their tenti ei erstiese of office, would look hack over a year or two, they would find that when Lord John - Russell lost, not thee mad. nee of his political opponents—for that he never s,ught to obtain—but what he supposed to be the confidence of his political friends, he immediately ten dered his resignation to her Mejeety. That resignation was not accepted. If it were shown to him that there was a stronger Government and a better Government ready to assume toe reins of power, he would at once give place to it. But so long us no stronger Govern meet was pointed out to them, so lon as no other party was prepared to form a government, her Ma• navy's' present advisers would continue where they were; they would go on in what they conceived to be the path of duty, leying before Parliament such measures as they believed to be conducive ro the good of the coun try, arid submitting without regret to the judgment of Parliament concerning them. With regard to his own past conduct, he appealed to them, that he had pursued a straightforward and consistent career. Oa various or casione he had felt it his duty to oppose what he con sidered c xtreree views on the question of Reform. He was reproached with having, on several occasions, op. posed motions in the House of Commons by Mr. Hume. He admitted that he had done be, 'Jed he was ready to give his reasons for so doing. With regard to the peopl, charter, he frankly avowed that he was no Cli trtist, and no man need lock for him to support the Charter. He confessed that several motions had been made by 74r. Hume, the purport of which he (Mr. Mamie) could not pretend to understand. Mr. Hume had nude motions for household suffrage. He (Mr. Mauls) did not understand what Mr. Hume's household suffrage meant. If it meant that the owners of houses should have a vote, its effect would be to restrict the eresout suffrage; and if it meant that every occupant of a haute should have a vote, then that would be equiva lent te universal suffrage, and this he (Mr. 11aule) could not support. Another point brought forward by Mr. Hume was what was called " electoral districts." Neither could he vote for this. It wits a measure which would have the effect of disfranchising Perth, of merging it in a l a r ge sur rounding rural district, and, inst ea d of sending a Mem ber to Parliament es at present, it would, under the proposed arrangement, h a v e th e pri v il ege of returning only the fractional part of a member. Ho had resisted this proposal, and would resist it, for the sake of the in tegrity of the electoral privileges of Perth; and he would warn all small burghs to beware of being swamped in the proposed electoral districts. Under the present arrangement many interests—he might even say all in teresiseewere represented in Parliament; but by the pro posed scheme of electoral districts there would be only two interests—that of the town and that of the land— they would be brought into direct and dangerous meta guinea' with each other, and as that was what he never hoped to see, he would resist a measure which he thought was calculated to bring it about. Another question was a favourite with the House and with the country, and on it he wished to disburden his mind. That was the ballot. When he was first returned for this county, and afterwards when he was returned for the city, he was opposed to the ballot. After that on one occasion he voted for it in the House of Commons. A practice prevailed in some places, and particularly in some counties in the south of Scotland, of manufacturing taggot voters; and after careful investigation of the evil, he came to the conclusion that the ballot was the only effectual cure for it, and under that impression ho voted for it. But though sworn to secresy as to the pro posed measures of the Government, he was at liberty to tat this much in reference to the forthcoming Reform Bill—that it would effectually provide against the menu lecture of those fictitious votes. That being the case, the only reason that ever appeared to him to justify the distinctionas thereo of Electors t o t r w s o aad classes—so bellot would be done away with. It' They had universal s uffrage, the ballot might follow as a matter of course; wasbutas there no right—no person had any right —to withhold from t he non-elector the knowledge of how the elector gave non-electors—he 'ong bad his vote. s t o he lou If they had the ballot the elector might talk bravely and valiantly to his neighbour the non-elector of how he meant to vote. and might then go and r eposit his vote secretly in the electoral urn in quite a different wee - . But farther, the ballot never served the purpose for which it was intended. In the United States they b a d the ballot in name, bat not in CEsence, for every one knew how Iris neighbour voted. And if they crossed the Channel, did they find no warning there? They had the ballot in France; but had it given them liberty—had it given liberty to the press or to the people? It had done no such thing. They had the ballot; but they had also a Government which had no respect for property, no respect for the liberty of the people, no reap. et for the liberty of the press; they had the ballot, but the press was gagged in such a way us, if he sew the like here, he should blush for his native country. 'Phese were practical arguments against the ottliot, end h., leid now made a clean breast on the sub ject. Now, he wished that the seal of secresy were not upon his lips, otherwise they might have a peep into fu turity. He was bound by his oath not to divulge the secrets of the Cabinet; but he had the satisfaction to be able to say, that on Monday next the new plan of Re form would be developed by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons. If he could not say more on that point, he be begged to assure them it was out of respect fur his oath, and from no disrespect to them, A charge had been brought against him on another point—he had been charged with extravagance as regarded the public expenditure. This was a hard charge to bring against the present Government, for they had made greater reductions in public salaries, and had cut off more pub lic and useless offices, than any other Government had ever done. This was the course they had pur sued, and this course they still intended to pursue The policy, he would not say of the Government, but of the Parliament, had been to reduce taxes. From finance he would pass to Church matters. Of all other subjects, he knew of none that was pressing more heavily on men's minds, and occasioning more alarm through the length and breadth of England, than the subject of the Church. He would not enter on any matters of sectarian difference, but the time was come when every person in his circumstances was called upon to state distinctly on what principles his Church policy was based. He had always given them to know that his principles were thoroughly Protestant, and that he held that every man ought to be at liberty to perform his religious duties according to the dictates of his own conscience, and to incur no civil disabilities for so doing But some would go further than this; for the sake of peace they were prepared to extend, not only civil equality, but also to give endowments to all sects and churches. Now, this was the only subject on which he bad ever given a distinct and specnic pledge; and he had still to say that he could not support any proposal for the endowment of the Catholic clergy of Ireland. A temporary peace might bo bought by such a measure; but the principle was evil; and he had no mind to do evil that good might come. But the Catholics of Ire land hr.d one endowment already, against which there was a strong feeling in this country. Ile alluded to the endowment of Mitynoce h. Formerly, the vote for May nooth cone before Parliament every yeer, among what were called the miscellaneous estimates. It was a stand ing occasion of bitter religious disputes in Parliament as often as it was brought forward. Year after year he had voted for this grant. But in 1845 Sir R. Peel took the grant out of the hands of Parliament altogether, and placed it as a charge on the Consolidated Fund. He (Mr. Mamie) did not think that this was the proper course, and he voted against Sir R. Peel's Bill in every stage. The Bill was carried, howev, r, by large majorities. Now it , was one thing to oppose a measure you thought was wrong, and quite another thing suddenly to undo it, especially in times like those. It, therefhre any till should be proposed, or any motion •• be brought forward, for the repeal of the litioth Endowment Bill, h e should oppose it. H e knew that in sayi ng so h e was risking t h e goo d opinion of many who heard him ; but be relied on t h e i r twenty years tmitant principl es t o susta i n him expe riencei u of his thatPro difficulty. He could not vote to withdraw the endo nooth, but he w ou ld res i st any ende nem wment from Ma).- Catholic priesthood. F rom th i s he wouldent of the Irish important question of National Education. Th p e ass to the had ar rived at a time when they found knowledge whether they IV,ould or not—at a time where i theymaking way not take the direction of it into their own hals itsd streame weuiti find channels of their own, to the detriment of the whole community. Two systems of education h a d their advocates lie these days. Some said that secular t o e, tees all seat eras nee , tan duoy L ) train the mind. Ltis own opinion was, that mere secular knowledge would do no such thing. Teach a man all the know- ledge that could be found under the sun, and if you did not add to it a knowledge of religion, you sent him out into the world in a worse and more dangerous condition than though he were steeped in the grossest ignorance. Ho could in many things truss the ignorant man; but the mind that was filled with mere eecular knowledge was more dangerous to society than the grossest igno rance that could ba found in the worst quarters of oar c (j ir n ig in ab E le 3g t i o 3n d d o . large cities. On this Enbj,ct education they really question in England, Th e y could only d ti i m d e no w t a l s tn n o , w ), how yet 6o get fur n wovernment to Plitt) up as yet of Goveineaengibt ereourage the elfarts of tho various religious parti' , a who were labouring voluntarily in that field. But in the education a n H y e t hing ; despaired the any such encouragement in was the duty of Govern to see that secular education be ernbued with religi ous instruction. He added, that although they might expect to be abused by all partiee, the Government had almost made up their minds to introduce a measure of national education :for Scotland in the course of this session. Mr. Maul° passed from those questions of peace to rumours of war. His own opinion was, that that pa ragraph in the Queen's Speech, in which she usually speaks of being on terms of amity , with her neighbours, was never more true than on the present occasion. He believed there was not the slightest intention on the part of any nation to enter into a war with this country. But there was not one present who did not read or hear every day of what was going on in a neighbouring country, of great railitlry resources; and though we abstained from any interference in the aff . sirs o f that country—though we did not attempt to dictate eith er to President or people—still, in a country like this, whore everything depended on the maintenance of credit, and in keeping free from panic all the interests and relations of the country, it, would ill become us to live in a fool's para dise on any subject whatsoever; and if any man might venture to predict what might happ en in France within the next two months, the n __events of the last two months would—start-auPsato , nsve•saisis -rashneiv. It . IsHhoved us, therefore, to be on our guard. He did not think that it was good policy to parade before the world all our means of defence, to the last bayonet and the last ship; but be was persuaded that Great Bri tain had now ample means to resist any probable aggres sion from any quarter, and by God's blessing they should know how to use them, if occa,ion called fur it.—(Loud cheers.) But let no panic pervade them on the subject of invasion. There was no reason for it; and if the corm try gave place to panic, a Government might arise which might attempt to govern by panic, and such a Go vernment wauld be the worst and most dangerous of Go vernments. He trusted that the country would leave the matter of national d:-formes in the hands of Ministers; and he was persuaded that if they found occasion to call upon the country to arm, high and low, poor and rich, would be ready to do their duty. Li n h ad now laid before them his political principles and opinions and had touch e d u p on th e most important public questions of the thy. After representing the city for ten y. are, years, aad after a political connexion with th e county nearly twenty years, he thought that he might confi dently ask them for a renewal of the political connexion which had long subsisted between them, and that he might ask and expect it so long as events might call for it.--(Cheers.) Mr• Maule • and after No questions were put to • a vote of thanks to him and the Lord Provost, and three cheers for the Queen, the mtetir•g broke up.

The Rear-Ad miral and family took leave of Sir Thomas Briggs at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, and embarked on board the Lightning steam•vessel for Spithead, where upon signal was made from the Victory to the Britannia, " Admiral (Dundee) coming out immediately; prepare to weigh after dinner." The Britannia accordingly un moored and made everything ready for sailing, when it was discove re d she was short of water, and signal was made to the Victory, " Require 90 tons of water." Fifty tons were sent out immediately. At four o'clock in the afternoon signal was made, " Require 40 tons more water," which was sent out about eight o'clock last night, thus affording a pretty sample of the manner in which a ship—aud a flag-ship too—is hurried off to sea, atter being three months fitticg out. A fine fair wind was blowing in the morning, which, however, speedily changed to a foul one, and during the night freshened into a gale, which now continues, so the Britannia and her gallant Admiral are weatherbound at Spithead. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Belgrave, em barked Major-General Cathcart, Major-General Yorke, and staff at Spithead, at half-past five last evening, from the steam-tender Sprightly, Mr. George Allen, acting master, commanding, and sailed with them for the Cape of Good Elope.

Captain John Moore (1848), is named as likely to have the command of the Higbtlyer steam-sloop, now ready for commission at this port. Captain Sir Edward Belcher, Knight (1841), Captain Henry Kellett, C.B. (1842), and Commander M•Clin tock (1851), are to commission vessels for the ap proaching Arctic expedition, and the number of officers and petty officers.and seamen who have volunteered for ibis service far exceeds the applications on any former occasion. The Intrepid screw steam vessel, one of the vessels fitting for the Arctic expedition, is in the outer basic", and ready for commission, having been completed in the engineer department. The Pioneer is in one of the east clocks in a forward state, and both aro expected to be commissioned in the course of next week. A number of petty officers and men have been waiting at this port for several weeks past, in the hope of being em ployed in either of the vessels of the next Arctic ex pedition. The Agamemnon, 90, building at this dockyard for a screw propellor, is now nearly ready for launching, and the launch of this fine vessel will take place about the end of next month.

Kossuth was at Pittsburg on the 27 tb. Dr. Doane, the efficient medical inspector of emigrants, had died from fever, caught on board the packet ship Great Western, while inspecting the condition of the passengers. The New York Herald has the following extraordinary statement:— " We have just received from Charleston, South Caro- liea, a variety of papers and document., containing copies of a very curious diplomatic correspondence which has taken place beetwoen Mr. Mathews, the British Consul in Charleston, and the State authorities of South Caro- line. We have heretofore alluded to this, but now notice it to call the attention of the general Government to its character, its intentions, and the meaning which may be put upon it in Europe. Mr. Mathews, in this corre spondence, assumes diplomatic functions independently of the British Minister at Washington, and without re cognizing the general Government of the Union. It is, in fact, a British recognition of the independence of South Carolina, and is practical secession of the highest order. South Carolina, from this date, may be considered as having taken the first step out side the Union—it has even got ahead of the Mormons; they only drove back their judges, without saying they would refuse another batch with more morality and less law—but. South Carolina has opened diplomatic commu nications with British functionaries, and set aside en tirely the authority of the general Government. We call the attention of our amiable but imbecile President, and our magnificent but torpid Secretary of State, to the position of South Carolina in this Union, and the assumption of Mr. Consul Mathews under the authority of Lord Palmerston. If there is a spark of national feel ing in the Cabinet or in the White-house, a messenger should be sent to South Carolina, recalling the Consul a exequatur, and demanding an explanation from this new British Minister." The boiler of the steam-ship De Witt Clinton ex ploded while on her passage from New Orleans to Pittsburg, by which upwards of 25 people were killed. A slight shock of earthquake was experienced at Louisville on the 26th ult. A telegraphic communication from Washin g ton to the New York Herald, dated Jan. 27, says:— " It is understood that the Mediterranean and East India squadrons will be strengthened. Commodore Perry will probably be detached, w ith a strong fleet, including several steamers, to Japan , to punish certain outrages, if necessary, and to teach the Japanese to re spect, the American flag." 40 After a thirtyiptliree days trial the Forrest ease h as She is t o h e resulted in a verdict for Mr s ,000 dollars p er annum. .

THE WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS. SOU .I:HAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Trent, Captain Clark, with the We Itulit). and 31exicau raails in charge of ',taut. Whiffle, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived this afternoon at four o'clock. Daring the homewara• voyage of the Trent she ex perienced fine weather for the first two or three days after leaving St. Thomas's, after which she experienced strong head winds. She was detained at St. Thomas's until the 22d of January, in consequence of the non arrival of the Great Western from the Gulf of Mexico ; where that ship experienced strong northers. Ilex dates of sailing, were:—Vera Cruz, Jan. 7; Tam- Plc(); 9th; Barbadoes, 16th; Grey Town, 7th; Mar- Guadaloupe, and Dominica, 17th; Antigua, 18:h; Jamaica, 17th; Montserist, 18th; Demerara, 14th; San Juan, Porto Rico, 21st; enagres, 9th; Carthugena, 11th ; St. Thames, 22d. The total number of passengers was 40; among whom were—Lieut. Butler, RN., Mr. Pelaster, Mr. Paris, Lieut. Stewart, Lieut. Ayton, Mr. Ledward, Hon. Miss Ashley, Mr. Faloonnet, Mr. Busherfield, Mr. Robles, Mr. Cosmos and family, Mr. Saldano, Mr. Capras, Mr. Zangasse. Mr. Bez, the Rev. Dr. Musson, Lady, and family; Mrs. Darrah, Mrs. Fraser, Mra.

The Legislature, after a short adjournment over the Christmas holidsys, had ngsin met tor the dispatch of husinesv, and wa expected that the lelymrs of the Senators would shortly be terminated and the session brought to a close. Among the most imp,..,rt an t mea sures which have received the sanction or the Legisin ture is a Bill regulating the proceedings of juries, em powering the judge to direct jurors to serve by ballot, and making good the decision of nine jurors in civil cases, ►here formerly twelve were requir(d. • In general, there is no intelligence of particular im portance. The Christmas holidays had passed over in comparative quietness, and, as usual at that time of the year, things were inactive. The agricultural interest was in rather a favourable I condition, and was a subject on which planters could congratulate themselves. The return of exports to the 16th of October, 1850, showed that the quantity of pro duce shipped from the colony was greatly in excess of the previous year's exports. When the great mortality caused by the prevalence of cholera, and the consequent decrease in available agricultural I.bour, as well as many other difficulties with which the planters h ave had to contend, are considered, the result must bopro nounced to be highly favourable. If .a reaction should take place in the home markets for colon ial produce, the effect would be most beneficial to the planting in terest in Jamaica. •'With regard to the trade with the Spanish Main and other foreign powers," says Do Cordova 'a pap er , " we have been unable to gather any information that might at all alleviate its distressing and cheerless cha racter. From a return published at the instanc e of the on the 10th against Colonial Legislature of the value of shipments to Chagres, Greytown, Santa Martha, Carthagena, and amounted in 1850 t Savanilla, during the two years terminating of October, 1851, we find a prepondrawncee ti o nd l2 a l,s d s e B fl / . , latter year of no less than 22,211/., th e to ,._, the total exports by andsailing in v l e B ss s e l ls to h 9 a9v , i3n4g6l .

The cholera was still in the island, but its ravages were confined to the interior district& In some places the smallpox was also prevalent. but the mortality alto gether was not very great. In consequence of a vessel arriving in the harbour of Kingston with a case of cho lera on board, the health officer not being empowered by kw to bo'ard coasters, an order of his E xco ll„ oey the Governor in Council had bean issued, empowering and directing the health ()filar to Ogee all vessels, whether coasters er otherwise. coming from any place where the cholera cr other epidemic was Prevalent, in quarantine for n certain number of days. The weather was very favourable for the planters taking off crop, and excepting those places where cholera and smallpox prevail, the islaiLd was very healthy. With reterenc, to the trade of the island, De Cer duas Intelligences gives the following ; lev _ o w for the past year:— , THE PROVISION BUSINESS OF 1851. " We have sought in vain throughout the whole of past ye n ' f th ate oich used tor 7 rn y r ,at our mere:Aro/I yll,;(r.iat , o.us.; in its ca d , h o revr, find that the op!l . atipuas of MI were harked by a degree of sat.tv and Trofit whi&l fu , ly e,;capcuaated for its reste-jettd ehl:factar`—a .lireamstanco which affords ample room . for ceingrAGUlS tion. Importations generally were .en a'smaller scale then-those.of previous years; the market, except on very few occasions, , was never over-supplied, and re ceivoi•s`were eel:trent to do smaller buSiness than had pre.% viocisly been the case, in view of surer and more profit.; able returns. • . . " The returns of the importations 'into. Kingston during the lait'five years relieves us from the necessity of enteririgintO lengthy, and. perhaps, tiresome details. The tables speak for themselves, and are sufficiently „ suggestive to enable our readers to draw their own conclusions respecting the results of last year's business„ compared with those of 1847 to 1849. .., ... We cannot in. elude 1850; inasmuch as the transapliens of" thnt. i lar were, in their most . important features. very simear to those tit 1851. 'The rill-cts of the enomous reduction of Our oupolaii4ni, occasioned by the outhrtak ofebolers in 1850, and of tholerge direct importations into the prin- • opal ontportß, were no less stringently fet in the buss tiozs truneaeted la Kingston during the pri.st year than : they were in 1850: • . " TILE DRY Goons BUSINESS OF 1851. ' "This hrtirich of- our island trade was., w-$ regret to E'V, coadneted under unfavourable auspices : and was • , proportionate,- y unremunerative.

Whether the returns will bo remunerative or the eon. trary is a mattzr on which it wool.; be unsafa awl pre mature to hqaard a conjecture ; the preten ! ow rates of colonial produce in the home markets might bear us out in predicting an unfavourable result, but we w , uld rather look to the brighter side of things, and iu:',ulge in the hope of speedy reaction and steady improvement of prices."
