He saw the barque about an hour after the fire broke out—half an hour before that be saw the vessel in flames from stem to stern, when no living man could have stayed upon the deck. Before leaving the ship he heard some of the sailors go to Mr. Roberts, the chief officer, and say to him, " Give us orders, and we'll obey them." He heard no answer given to thin. Mr. Jacob Allen, who was sent out by Messrs. Seaward and Cape!, the engine-makers, was next called—He denied that any danger had arisen from the shortness of the boiler flues —the fact was that they were what were called double flues, with sepa rate flues to each boiler, so that the flame had three times the distance to travel which it would have in a funnel of ordinary construction. He then described the way in which the space between the boiler and the bulk head was protected; and added that it was impossible, in his opinion, that the prick3rs of the stokers should have set fire to any loose canvas, and so caused the conflagration. John Rogers, able seaman, said he had first got into the captain's gig, but she was stove in four dif ferent places. He jumped out of her into another boat that was then passing; and when he got into her he could see the flames of the vessel through the gig. He did not think such a boat, so stove, could live in the sea for a minute. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF ANNE DYSART. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,' THE HEIR OF ARDENNA N.

The brigade and West o f England engines soon reached the spot ; previously to their arrival, however, those from Farringdon-street had been brought into play, but unfortunately without much effect, and the fire spread with great rapidity. A good supply of water was obtained, and every exertion was used to save Messrs. Kay and Co.'s property, but in two hours' time everything was destroyed. With the utmost difficulty the firemen saved the greater portion of the Oxford Arms Tavern, still the loss and damage there was considerable in amount. Among the property destroyed is a portion of that belonging to the Religious Tract Society. No lives were lost. The origin of the fire is unknown. ROYAL ORTIIOPIEDIC HOSPITAL, 13LOOMSRURY..

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. MEETING OF LABOURERS. Last night an aggregate meeting of the labourers thrown out of employmeet through the strike in the iron trades was held at the National Hall, High Hol born, to take into consideration their present position, and to adopt such measuree for their future support as might be deemed necessary. The meeting was con vened by the labourers' own committee, but the ex penses attendant upo n i t were defrayed,' we under stood, by the executive council of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, &e, No skilled workmen, whether society or non-society men, were allowed to take part in the proceedings ; but the attendance of labourers was less numerous than had been an ticipated. Mr. MARSTERS, on taking the chair, briefly en forced the necessity of. peaceable conduct. Mr. LLOYD, in moving the first resolution, stated that when the shops were first closed, the executive council of the Amalgamated Society had promised to aid in procuring subscriptions from the public, and had with that view issued a circular, but apparently without producing any satisfactory results, as the labourers had only received 33. as an allowance for the first week, while the non -society men were paid 7s. A great deal of dissatisfaction consequently arose, and a deputation of labourers was appointed to wait upon the executive council, to represent the condition in which they Were placed. The answer of the council was very peremptory—it was, that only the subscriptions derived from the public could be applied to their relief, as the sub scriptions coming from organized bodies, such as the compositors and other trade Societies, must go to the support of the non-society men, Another deputation had subsequently called at the office of the Employers Association, where they, mel, w i th. e a most courteous reception. Without even or knovving or asking their object, Mr. Sidney Smith, accompanied by three of the largest employers in London, came out to speak to them. They would not acknowledge the deputation as such ; but advised that two labourers from each shop should wait upon the employers to re present the condition in which the l a b ourers were placed; and they further promised to p ay d ue atten tion to any written communication which m i g ht b e sent from the labourers' central c ommittee, Yester day hadhanded over l s per the executive council . 6d . man, but the committee, by judi cious management, paid each man 2.. Upon the merits of the dispute he would say nothing ; but one _ thing was quite clear, they were thrown out of workby no fault of their own, and were in a destitute condition. How could it be otherwise ? When in work they earned only from 16s. to 203. per week, and they found great dif ficulty,out of that sum to pay m much to a friendly society as would secure them 103. p er week when sick. H owever th e question in dispute might be settled, it could make no material difference to them, and while he gave the executive council credit for all that they had done for the labourers, with a pure motive, there were some things which he thought they had not done in a Ore spirit, and for which he could give them no credit.—(Hear, hear.) I n con clusion he moved the following resolution : " That this meeting views with extreme regret the unfortunate dispute between the Amalgamated Society of Engineers and their e mployers, and it will therefore exert its utmost energies to impress upon the mind of the benevolent public the immediate necessity of contri buting towards the support of that large and unorganised body of men, the labourers, who have hitherto been, and still intend to continue, neutral upon the subject of the strike, but who have, nevertifeless, by it been entirely deprived of the means of support. And . it would further d recommend all p e r s o ns favourably ispose oth e pro posed philanthr o pi c o bj ec t particularly to state at t ethat their sub scriptions are for the ' labourers' list,' so that the labour ers may derive the immed i ate an d unconditional benefit." Mr. ALRIDGE, on seconding the resolution, said it was unjust to pay the non-society men 7s. per week, while the labourers had received only as. The la bourers had expected to be placed on the same footing as the oth ers . —(H ear, hear.) Mr. Newt on h a d jus tified the difference in these two sums by saying that the non -society men paid higher rents than the labourers, and having been used to a superior mode of living, required more nourishment.—(Shame, shame.) Mr. Newton, at public meetings, had stated his own side of the case, but not the side of the labourers. It was the aggression committed upon the masters by the demand of double overtime which had caused the dispute, a demand with which, he be lieved, the masters would never comply—(Hear)—and if it had not been made, every man might have been in work at that moment.—(Hear, hear.) The mas ters, whatever the Amalgamated Society might say to the contrary, had received the deputation courte ously, but the Amalgamated Society were treating the labourers most unfairly —they were, in fact; first taking the crumb from the loaf for themselves, and then handing to the labourers the crust, when it was quite dry.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put, and unanimously adopted. Mr. EVANS, in moving the second resolution, said the executive council of the Amalgamated Society had shown their sympathy for the labourer by allow ing him 4d. seas —(H ear, hear) —although it was through the acts of the society that the labourers had been thrown out.—(Rear, hear.) The movement of engineers was not for the good of the labourers. It bad been said that the council did not wish to put away the labourers from the machines, but he much doubted the truth of this denial.—(Hear, hear.) The object Of the movement was in fact to crush the, rising intellect of theslabourers...—(efeer, hear.) The Amal gamated Society, in their future documents, might omit all reference to their less-skilled brethren, who would endeavour to look and had perhaps after subscriptions for them selvee,good sense enough to divide them wlacn collected.—(Hear, h ea r, and laughter.) H e recommended an entire withdrawal from the Amalgamated Society. — upon the fair spirit (Cheers.) After remarking in which the matter had been .treated by the press, the s peaker concluded by moving the following resoluti on : • "That this meeting cannot but express its firm con viction that the Empl oyers' Association have no desire to see any of their labourers reduced to destitution, but that the masters, both in their collective and individual capacity, shuuld most willingly the assist the labourers whom pen d in g dispute has thrown out of employment, and it would, therefore, suggest that a petition be presented t o the Employers.' Association, for the purpose of laying before it the position and prospects of the labourers, and also to receive any Enna the association may think fit to a dvance, while at th e same time it would recommend thfit one labourer from each firm should wait upon their respective employers for a like purpose." Mr. CURZON seconded the resolution, expressing a decided opinion that th e l abourers would me pre et i with tion increand prospects were sympathy fainfromthe public when th • i y state . their pos The resolution was carried unanimously.

Greetham, Deputy Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning on board the Victory, to try Charles Wright, a private marine, for deserting from her Majesty s ship Asia, at Valparaiso, on the 24th of December, 1850. The desertion having bee❑ proved, the prisoner, in defence, pleaded in mitigation of punishment that he had delivered himself up to Ser geant Jones at Valparaiso, whe❑ he was sent on board the Portland (the present flag-ship), and put upon a diet of two-thirds the usual rations, of which he after wards complained to the captain, and wished him to allow his proper rations, when he was placed in irons as a prisoner, and had been so confined for six months and ten days. The Court, after due deliberation, declared the charge proved, and sentenced the pri soner to receive .50 lashes on his bare back, to be im prisoned for twelve months in Winchester Gaol, and to be mulcted of all pay and allowances due to him, and, finally, to be dismissed from her Majesty's service. The same Court then proceeded to try James Can non, also a private marine, for desertion from her Majesty's ship Asia, at Valparaiso, on th .A e l. l , Q t h stated of December last. Captain A. Henderson, li that the prisoner was his attendant, and on the day named in the charge, when the Asia was at Valpa raiso, he was sent ashore for some necessaries previ ous to the ship sailing, since which time he (the witness) had not seen the prisoner till the present day. It was in the prisoner's power when he left to have taken a considerable amount of money in a bag, and a horse from the stable, but he had not done so. In defence the prisoner said that he had acquaint ances at Valparaiso, and they persuaded him to stop till the next morning. He did so, and when he went to go on board he found the ship had sailed. He de livered himself up to an officer on the 17th of the next month, when he was conveyed on board the Portland, and placed on two-thirds provisions and in irons, and slept on the gratings. The Court was of opinion that the charge had not been proved, and therefore acquitted the prisoner.

The Pioneer screw steam -vessel is also in a forward state for a further searching expedition, but she has As the opening of Parliament draws near, we have almost daily pamphlets on the income-tax. We have not been so much struck with the force of any of the arguments adduced as with the proof they afford of the remarkable tendency inherent in the human mind to make difficulties where none exist. A man—a "clever man," of course—may be 'as completely under the influence of this propensity, as he may be come the victim of dramdrinking or short whist. For how many centuries was it the school philosophy reigned supreme? 'During this period the intellect of Europe fairly revelled in hairsplitting and wire drawing up on su bj ects which would not admit of such treatment. _ Th e great point was to raise, not to solve,U difficulty. So, again, in the last half of the last cen tury, when mysticism was at a discount, the German philosophers threw themselves manfully into the breach. Kant, the Coryphasus of the school , had the satisfaction of d ec l ar i ng on his death-bed"that no one ever understood his doctrines but one m Fichte—and he understood them wrong . " It is the same thing throughout. In this discussion upon the income-tax we are just now in the hands of economic schoolmen and mystics. Not one of the number appears to content himself with the immutable distinctions between 2 and 4, black and white, and other self-evident discre pancies of the like nature. Not one of them fairly sits down to consider if something better cannot be contrived than the present anomalous method of assessment. Because any form of assessment must necessarily carry with it a certain amount of injus tice, it can in any case be but a question of degree ; so what does it matter ? A little more or a little [less cannot materially affect the question. To be less than perfect is to be imperfect ; to be imperfect in the least degree is to be obnoxious to every reproach which is rightly bestowed upon any arrangement short of absolute perfection. We cannot, of course, in the very limited space to which our remarks must necessarily be confined, pre tend to answer all the problems proposed to us for so lution by these amateur Blends and Bonnycastles. The thing is a mere typical impossibility. Any amount o f personal exertion would be insufficient to remove in detail the spiderwebs that have been spun round our windows. It may be, however, that a broad sweep or two with the besom may let in air and sun - mod of though we must again protest a ga i nst t h at of reasoning which would leave it to u be inferred that because we, and those who think with us, do not come forward with ready-made plans, there is no pos sibility of remedy at all. Here is a strange inver - sion of the relative position of parties. We are pa - tients, not physicians. "Ah ! Doctor," said Mr. Deadman to that eminent member of the faculty, Dr. Sphynx, "my head is aching; my pulse is beating three where it should beat one ' • I can only stand upon one le g ; an d I feel shrewd twinges under my left shoulder." " That is all very well," replied the Doctor, " but, my dear Sir, I have a right to call upon you to mention the remedies which suggest them selves to your own mind. Depend upon it, if you adopt this course, you shall have the benefit of my most patient attention, and most conscientious criti cism.' "Doctor, I know nothing about remedies. All I know is that my head is aching, &c." " Vague declamation ! vague declamation The man who can't propose the appropriate remedies for his own ail ments is perfectly well. Good morning, Sir." Now in what material respect do those who tell us that we should be content with the present method of assessment differ from Dr. Sphynx. They tell us we are in the wrong because we do not by a kind of divine inspiration slip the " perfect sug gestion " into Sir Charles Wood's hands. We an swer at once, that any one of half-a-dozen schemes which have been proposed and discussed contains less of injustice than the present Ministerial anomaly. We do not therefore jump to the conclusion that the best arrangement which could by possibility be de vised has yet been made known. Such inquiry as has actually taken place has been carried on notably in the very teeth of the Government, and at all the dis advantage which is the inseparable incident of an at tack upon existing arrangements. We have said thus much in order to get rid of two very obvious fallacies which lie at the threshold of the discussion. We would next tell the partisans of the present most unfair and most iniquitous me thod of levy that, if their arguments prove any thing, they prove that an income-tax is necessarily the most scandalous and abominable tax that was ever imposed upon a nation. The theory of direct taxation may be as perfect and as philosophic as you will, but if it be utterly inapplicAble in practice, what then ? Like other things in this world which we can't arrive at, such as perfect health, perfect hap piness, perfect immunity from the tempers and pre judices, passions, and follies of others, we must make up our minds to fag on to the end of the chapter without it. We say most emphatically, that if one half, or one -quarter of the oppressive effects said to be inseparable from an income tax are really so, the Act is one of mere robbery and spoliation. The sooner we get it out of the statute-book, for our sakes, and for our children's sa k es, the better. We have given our consent to a graduated property-tax in its worst form. We say in its worst form, because its framers have so juggled with names as to hide the operation of their scheme by a mere play upon words. Surely it stands to reason that if a property-tax be a fair im post, an income-tax, that is a tax levied in a straight forward manner upon income, irrespective of the source from which it may be derived, is an ob vious injustice. Under such an arrangement what becomes of property ? A earns 30/. in one year by his professional labour ; B, the owner of 1,0001. Three per Cents. (we take the simplest in stance for illustration's sake), at the end of the same twelvemonth finds himself in possession of his origi nal 1,0001. equal to 301. interest The Chancellor of the Exchequer deducts the like proportion from A's 301. and B's 30/. ; but who meddles with the 1,0001 ? What rate is levied on the property of the country under the present system ? If it be at all affected, will any one have the kindness to inform us how a single sovereign's value of it is drawn into the finan cial drag -net ? And by what arguments is it endea voured to bolster up this scandalous anomaly ? Oh 1 "Drawbacks are not taken into account under o Schedule A." "Fluctuations are not credifdt Schedule C." Men who have entered into s passed "pro fessional life since the Income tax Act . w w would be presented with a premium if it t t abrogated." This very argument, precisely Stliaelfde now take from a pamphlet before us, thou in the author's words. But why. galrenontot draw backs and fluctuations taken nto account ? Are not fluctuations taken into account readily r a e_ w a t d ht il h , a y et enough under the difficulty is there in estimating assessmentmatingdr a Custom-house? The principle is the sam e i n any case. If machinery has been devised which can pro duce the result in one instance, the operation can be repeated, and with similar effect. " Difficulty " ihmculty," is the cuckoo note of ind o l ence and In capacity since the world began. No exertion Worthy of the name has yet been made to gr app l e with the whole question. If this be once done, and the result is a convi ction that nothing is t o b e done' then w e are prepa red to alter our tone. We will t h e rem edy i s left us but t o di scard the theory of direct t ax ation from our worki ng d ay calculations as a beautiful vision, only fit for philosophic dreamers, and at best calculated f or the meridian of Utopia or a better world. But we do not believe in any such result. We do not believe that under a wise Administration the theory which has been so warmly applauded by philosophic thinkers may not be worked out so as to receive the cheerful assent of practical men. Let us not confuse ourselves with all the relations and qualifications o f property t h roughout t hi s vas t empire at one and the same moment of time. Let us collect into one room, before the writing-desk of an actuary, a few representatives of classes. Let there be an owner in fee simple, a life tenant, a mortgagee, a fundhold e r, an annuitant, a professiona l man, a trad esman — an d l et eac h o f their incomes be represented b y th e same fi gure . Will any one be so bold or so ignorant es to tell us that an actuary of good capacity would not, after very brief considera tion, tell eac h o f th e co mpany the precise value of his income ? From such a result to an equitable as sessment of the income-tax there can surely b e no very enormous distance. The_ axioms of the l evy would soon be established , and applied in each case as a matter of course. The danger li es i n d elay. Already the partisans of this most iniquitous assess. ment are beginning to talk of " prescription," and " vested interests." They tell us that in order to eradicate all injustice from the levy, it need but be made permanent. From such a conclusion may' their own common sense and energy deliver the pro fessional and trading interests of this country Times.

"..--.)? -.,. _\.-- , • .-,:./.t -_; \ k --.---- --..., At a distance of twenty-two nil - k&eitliAt, ez. , _ , ,e there is a small spot on cur shore, whit, e . .., - d eff known by the name of Dover. In 131 1 1,4 . d l y *c.a r eNe / when our ancestors were men of mettle, and when Kings of England invaded France as eeroyal Pastime , Dover was considered a port of great importance. There was a very general feeling that if •it was so easy to go from Dover to Calais, it might be ju s t es easy to go from Calais to Dover; and consequently, Dover was defended by a royal fortress, and formed one of the Cinque Ports. Again, during the prepa rations made at Boulogne in 1804, splendid works were made on the Cliffs of Dover, which command the town, and a military road was constructed there. But of late years our Government, with its usual dis crimination, thought it necessary to economise—not by reducing official salaries and by displacing unne cessary placemen, but by letting cur forts be turned into grazing grounds, and our batteries become use less from want of due care. And now let us see what Dover is supposed to be, and what Dover actually iv. Ordnance maps and plans tell us that as you enter the harbour, a fort, known by the name of A rc h c lif f, commands entrance ; that the Castle is strongly fortified, and can, with its out works, be armed with some hundred guns ; whilst the citadel heights have fifty guns; the se hole sup ported by a large redoubt. These are very formidable obstacles, but does this Ordnance statement show the real state of the case ? Dover is a seaport, situated between two high cliff., the valley between which leads to London. Formerly the entrance of the harbour was protected by t w o batteries, known as the Amherst and Townshend, both on the water level —and by Archcliff r e d ou bt, which—situated to the side towards Shakapere's Cliff— raked the entrance, and also commanded the sea west wards. But the harbour requiring certain improve.. ments, the Amherst and Townshend b a tt er i es were pulled down, and a certain space was left nearer the town, where a battery was to be formed. Now a shore battery is not an expensive thing ; it is not supposed to withstand an actual attack, but merely to do as much damage as possible, whilst shipping is still at a certain distance, or whilst boats are being filled with men for disembarkation. A simple earthen battery would, therefore, answer every purpose, but from neglect, or —as the Ordnance would explain it—through want of funds, the space intended to have been occupied by a battery is still vacant and desolate, neither useful nor ornamental. Lately, also, a railway terminus has been erected at Dover, and in the full belief that for the future nothing was to appear near our shores more alarming than pleasure excursionists from Paris, the terminus was allowed to be erected se as to cut off all the flanking fire from Archcliff fort towards Dover, and, instead of its projecting well out, as it used to do, and raking the sands, it is now thrown back and comparatively useless—the few guns which it possesses looking westwards out to sea, in the di rection of Shakspere's Cliff. As if that memorable block of chalk wanted protection against attack, rising, though it does, some hundreds of feet perpendicularly from the sea. The defences cf Dover, therefore, are confined to the citadel height and the castle. The latter dating from the days of Julius Caesar, situated on the cliff to the right of the entrance, consists of a keep and a series of batteries, extending down to the sea- side With the exception of a salute fired from the keep on the arrival of the Queen from Ostend, and the late experiments with the magnetic wires from Calais, we doubt very much whether these guns have ever been used. Instead of a hundred, there are certainly not fifty, many of which are carronades. But this is not all. Instead of the , place being garrisoned by ar tillery, it is occupied by a line regiment, the guns are left in the care of the winds of heaven, and there is not a single gunner on the premises. To the left of Dover is the citadel. This consists of splendid field works covering the whole cliff, commanding the town, harbour, the military road which leads up the valley, and is protected towards the castle by a strong redoubt. But earthen parapets without guns are rather harmless, and though they may serve as boundaries to adventurous cattle, or as pleasant rambling grounds for boys on a Sunday afternoon, they certainly will not much deter san • guinary marauders should such desire to venture near us. But where are these guns ? In Woolwich Warren surely. Now, when the whole country is occupied with the grave question of our national de fences,—when the Government very well know that day by day the public are clamorous for some pre cautions to be taken,—we have the key of England, as it were, totally undefended. Guns are not moved and mounted in a day or ain week. To put that citadel in a state of defence would take the small force of artillery which is in the redoubt a whole month, working day and night. As this citadel com mands the castle, the latter is useless were the former taken ; and by lank'ing towards Folkestone, the latter might be captured without a single shot from the castle being able to prevent it ! Is not this a pretty state of things ? and we may well ask " A Soldier" why cannot the landing be made at Dover, and an intrenchment be completed on Dover heights? for an enemy would find things ready made, and have nothing to do but to mount his guns and man them. Are not the French fully aware of this matter ? Is there a spot along our coast which has not been visited by military tourists, and is there a stone on Dover heights which they are not acquainted with ? Ports mouth and Plymouth have a formidable defence in their men-of-war, but large vessels cannot lie off Dover, for it is a dangerous place, and merchantmen do not much like the straits of a windy night. Yet we think there would be no great difficulty in moor ing a floating battery. When danger is said to be staring us in the face, it is not a time for dull and whfeorafoinvwisEei French siege guns, slow consideration, but for action. The Ordnance ma y wish to put Dover in a state of defence, but what oldba labroad Woolwich, roo a edvxi?- are they waiting , for ? Where are the ordnance store boats, which are kept and paid for the purpose of conveying guns ? and what is the u t se of keeping hundreds of these guns stored d a royal to a r aar f e rom tn for th f e vroerm a y mu a s i e ff m er e e n n London, amusement of style Castle are but ps vi sitors s a Indeed, the guns in Dover _ small ones, and very different things England by th which—known in e name of Monk's and Dundas's—appear too valu a ble to be exposed to We pay dearly enough for our ineffi cient ordnance, and as we pay so much for it those in whose charge it is seem to think it too precious to be made useful. Surely these are times for asking ally so few ar tillerymen are stationed at a place like Dover. At are p resent there thenot enough to man the guns actually mounted, and whole f orce is very insufficient to keep in order the guns which are supposed by public to be mounted. But whose fault is it ? No beyf course. Nobody is responsible, and so work g o es undone Th e Premier will refer any questioning undone of r Parliament to his Honour.. able Friend the Secretary at War; the latter, de clining the Clerk of th respon s ibili ty, w i ll throw it on the e Ordnance who will re 1 that he merely e estimates, and that such regulat es th ' 13 5- in formation must be o bt a i ned from the Mast er-General. That gallant officer has his hands tied by the Board of Ordnance —one of which has to supply the guns, whilst another gives him the order for that purpose. As to the men, as long as the guns are kept in depot at Wool w i c h, t h e art i llerymen are kept t h ere to look after the guns—a d u ty w hi c h cou ld be as well and more profitably performed by the po lice. . If we mis takeed not, these idle w e a p on s are at present watched by both forces, so that the police may throw any blame on the soldiers, and the latter return it on the poliee—a little reciprocal arrangement which is too advantageous to be lost sight of. This is merely another of the series of ill-manage ments consequent on the division cf authoeity and responsibility. No man would subject himself to the imputation that through his neglect such a port as Dover was left entirely unguarded; but when it is nobody's fault, neglect becomes an eas y matt`er• There is no reas on for surrou n di ng ourselves w i t h a Chinese wall, but really we do not see why our vera" doors should be left open to admit any housebreaker that pleases to walk in. As th e O r d nance is a bod y that does not trouble itself about thi s matter —pe rhaps th e public voice will find some b o d y that will.
