Esq , in the Chair: tncouittging and satisfactory as all former Annual Reports have been, the Directors are much gratified, op this the tentivanniver sary of the Institution, to have to present to the memberS a State ment of the business of the past year, far surpassing in - amount every , previous one, and.exhibiting, as the Directors confidently believe, an extept. of prOsperilY Which is. unexampled. In the history of Life As surance Societies. Glasgow-43, St, Vincent-street; Manager-John M`Lellan,jun., Esq.. Dublin-12, Lower Sackville-street ; Manager, J. - B. Bankhead, Esq.. The objects of. his Association are twofold—the Insurance or Ships an the'Adiancing of "Money by, way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual 'profit ; but the two , operittions, judiciously combined; 'will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The Immense fortunes.known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignmeni Of the_polley of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness if the prinanie upon-which therAssociation is founded. The almost inetedible numbef Of British shipplrig . under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General or Customs, exhibits a wide _field for the-operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all.of these loans, have been pbtained upon exorbitant terms _by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look fattier to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. During the past year, 911 policies hive been issued, making an in crease of 180 beyond the,former year, ond. producing an ptinual in come of 16,3351. 13s. 7d., and during, the same period the number of propoSalsdeclined have amounted to 113, the Hires not having been deemed eligible for assuraace. This large yearly increase of the business of the Institution has been effected, notwithstanding the competition it hail° contend with, from many new as well as old-estal?lishecl offices; a convincingproof that the more the benefits of the mutual principle of assurance (on which this Soblety is based) is known, the more it is approved. The total annual income now amounts to the 'min of 70,819 e. 145.'5d.• The accounts of the Institution, made up to the 20th November last, have been subjected to the usual • audit, from which it will appear that the capital stock of the Society on that day amounted to the sum of 241,460/. 13s. 3d., being by far the largest annual increase Which, has hitherto been made. • By the deaths of members since the last report, claims amounting to the sum or 21,2301. 2s. have become payable to their representa- The Aisociatidtrwill advance a sum of money, in no case exceed• ing two-thirds of- the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by. mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with 'the Asso ciation reinaining _in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. • Amongthemany advantages It' holds' out, the folkniring are not the lea.C: - - • . fives or nominees; and 'which have been duly discharged; this amount paid to the representatives of deceased members hilly de monstrates the benefit of life assurance ; most of the Members whose deaths are referred to, though in health at the time of,effecting the assurance, did not live long enough to contribute mere than a small proportion of the sum paid. to their respective families, who are now deriving the benefit of the provision thus made. The death of six annuitants has caused the sum of 1,6871. to fall to the credit of Class 3. To the Shipowner, the certainty obobtaining, at a moderate rate; and without injury -to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, antreffecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. The next division of profits will be made in November, 1847, and the Directors have no doubt that the result will prove perfectly satin. factory to, the members. ;To. .the Shipbuilder, particularly•when building for the market, either at home or in our colonies,. by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an uufavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be- Ming shareholders. • The .association embodies• the followitig advantages for its Pro prietary : Inpart the early pa of this year, in consequence of the large increase that had taken place during the two fernier years in the number of Orciposals; and the greatliccumulation of genekal bisiness.consequent thereupon, presented weekly for the consideration' of the Directors, it became otivieus . that it was impossible longer to get through in a satisfactory manner, allmatters . pressing upon them at one weekly meeting;, and to relieve this pressure, and, to afford greater con• venience to persons attending to make assurances, a second weekly board,*to be held every'Friday, was'adojited. • In conformation of the necessity and expediency of holding an additional weekly meeting, 'the Directors refer to the extraordinary Increase of business since its adoption. . _ Theimmedlate certainty of securing a /erg laNe number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances Will be taken 'without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association; . hence the doublepiotit which will arise from theta two sources; A total absence of risk to the shareholders. .It may.ba added that-an extensive , connexion has been 'already formed in the leading outports, and InsurartEa business to a large amount secured for the Association. In conclusion, the Directors confidently trust that by a perse veranciin the course hitherto pursued to insure the stability of the. institution, and Which* has led 'to the successful reiults herein de tailed, the members may have the satisfaction to witness a long•con 'tiutiance of • that "prosperity which' has throughout so signally marked its progress: • The following statement shows the progress of the Institution since its commencement • The lianie' Machineiy sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expinses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notieeirfor an Act of 'lncorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenges has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applieations for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solietors, or to any of the following agents, from whom more detailed. prospectuses may be had Cafferata, Esq., Exehange-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs.

TIMES, January 9, 1846. • • This Volume unlike many others, as it increases in bulk, increases correspondently in value ; 'thus every succeeding .edition is more valuable than its predecessors, and the book of 1846 contains more information than 'the book of 1845. The volume for the current . year surpasses anything' of a s i milar kind that has ever been offe r ed ' to the public as a guide-hoe): to the names, occupations, professions,, and _habitations of the hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants of London, or that has ever yet been issued from the press. .In it. whoever has a "local habitation and a name" is noted down—that is, if-he-be a housekeeper , an of fi ce -k eeper, or, t h e propr i e t or or 'keeper of anything beyond a furnished lodging or the humble oc cupant .of an, attic: There: is an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," "ft " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Di rectory," a.

The " Poet Office Directory". of., sometwelve years since, and the "Post Office Directory" for the coming year present a remarkable contrast. Then it.was confined tb a meagre list of names, comprised within a circle of two or three miles, and might have been put very conveniently into one's coat pocket. Year atler year it has increased in size, and added various and valuable stores 01 information to its, columns; its hundreds of pages haVe groWn into thousands, and it noW embraces the metropolis and Its suburbs, from north to south, east and west, ' and comprises within its volaminous pages of information (now absolutely indispensable to the merchant and tradesman) an "Official Directory," a "Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory." a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a - "Parliamentary Directory," a "Postal Directory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking Directory,"- and a variety of other copious lists of information, the mere transcription of which would occupy considerable time. Its list of "Provincial-Inns" extends over 31 pages of three columns each ; iti "Post Office London Official Directory"' over 48 Pages, twenty-eight of which are of four and twenty of two columns each ; its "Street Directory" 472 pages of th - ee columns each; its " Commercial 'and Professional Directory" 504 pages of two colnmns each ; its " Trade.

This portion of the work has been much enlarged and improved. It' now supplies us with the hour of delivery of the London letters ,at each town and . village in the United Kingdom at which there is a Post-office or Receiving house,come and the time at which the letter -box for London closes at each place ; also the distance of each from the post town through a l‘ s li b ic e 4 en frequently much improved, is which the London letters are transmitted. We also observe that the the valuablevolu m M e past accompanied volume, and which London, ren dered still more - valuable in the present edition. The names of each street are most distinctly printed, and we hesitate not to state that it is one of 'the best Maps of London extant. The Work is printed in a clear bold type. • We.can scarcely think it requires special re commendation, for no man who rea:ly has business to transact can well do Without it,. • MORNING CHRONICLE, Jan. 17, WI?. . The annual Volume juit published of this laborious and valuable work deserves the same mead of approbation Which has been so de servedly bestowed upon its predecessors. In mere size, it is con siderably larger than any of them, not only by the introduction of new information, but in consequence of the yearly growth of the me tropolis, to the avocations and whereabouts of whose inhabitants it is intended to form the" directory," The enormous multitude of facts which are condensed in the bulky volume before us is really over whelming ;- yet they Are note more than are requisite to make the dwellers in our overgrown city duly acquainted with one another's business and residences, The facts are presented in the same available form, and with the same attention to accuracy and recentness of in formation which. characterise the veltune for 1845, and rendered it a Model of perfection as a directory. We Observe some useful ad ditions to the -contents of the present publication, especially in the section devoted to the Post•oftice arrangements, which are so rapidly becoming -extended and complicated under the doable impulse of new railways and the penny postage. MORNING ADVERTISER, Dec. 24, 1845. This work, published by Kelly and Co., which has now made its annual appearance for forty-seven 3 ears, is decidedly one of the most •useful works of the day. It contains an immense amount of infor mation of the greatest importance to all in any way connected vrth the metropolis. It comprises among other information, an " Official Directory," a "Street Directory," a "Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a " Postal Direc tory," a "Convey Alice Directory," and a " Bank Directory." Under these various divisions will be found masses of information, com bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of labouuven ve r bestpyr yreat,K pit ' thp,.efimilltpau et this work must necessarily g public could remunerate the enterprising proprietors for their outlay and labour. The Post-office London Directory" is slngularly eheap, considering the nature and quantity'of the information it contains. It extends to Ira fewer than 2,000 large closely-printed pages, In double and treble columns. All things considered, we look upon it as the Cheapest, as assuredly it is the most valuable and useful, annual work which emanates from the press of England. The map accompanying it appears to uato be much improved; it is certainly equally excellent and perfect, WEEKLY DISPATCH, Dec. 28, 1845. This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration of the results of British perseverance properly directed, and British capital judiciously etnployed. Far many years the French " Al manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was considered one of the wonders of the world; but the Messrs. Kelly have achieved a work which may be aptly termed a wonder upon wonders. Large though the volume be, the mass of information contained in it is truly surprising ; and every department is arranged with so much care, judgment, and accurate discrimination, that the business of reference to its pages is as plain and simple as to a dictionary or !Odeon, whose scheme is alphabetical. We have, in this volume, 4. Official," ".Street," " Commer c i a l," " Trade?" " Law," . " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," and " Rank ing Directories." But these 'heads only comprise a portion of the information contained in the work. ‘There are other departments which will belound invaluable to the commercial public. The fol lowing extract from the preface should be quoted :—" The advan tages possessedby the proprietor are of no ordinary character; the Most important being the means placed at his disposal through the favour of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The General Post letter-carriers, under the direction of `his Lordship, 'collect, each in his own district, the information from which the volume is compiled. To ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection of the information should be simultaneous"; and how completely this 'is effected, is proved by the fact that ,so intelligent letter-carrier performs within twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the purposes of the Post. Office London Directory." We need not add any recommendation of' this work ; its reputation is established on a solid basis. BRITANMA, peeember 27, 1845. This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times, fast as they move. It now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely printed pages, this immense 'mass of matter being so judiciously classified and arranged that any..itern of it can be picked out with out the loss of a minute - expended In the search. From the con nexion of the Proprietor _with the Post-office, he is enabled to collect his information from the most authentic sources, and (a great advantage) to combine it siMultanebitsly: Some objection has been made to the 'letter-carriers being eniployed for this service ; but, Independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post oke must be greatly. advantaged, li,T the publication, both from letters being directed more accurately,:idth this book , as a guide, and . kom its always being at .hand ready for reference in cases of doubt. The volttnie has all the Merits of its predecessors ; displays, like them, the utmost care in every department; and as a work of reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in bus'. ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most remarkable examples. of great industry, intelligence, and capital being succeasffilly employed -in the production of a work for facili tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse, that the 'age, fertile as it is in' ingenious Inventions, affords. Of its kind, it is as near perfection, as it seems possible for any work.to be brought. - • .. - . .

The chief feature of the," Post-office Directory" to men of business is, that they cannot do without it—it is:indispensable, thumbed over, referred to, day by day, and Week .by week—a eounting-house, let these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an ink stand as without a "Directery?'

FATAL ACCIDENT. on the SOUTH- EASTERN RAILWAY. We regret to state that 'a fatal accident,"by which one in dividual losthialife andannther was 'much injured, occurred on Monday night, or rather between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday morning.. 'On .the arrival of the luggage train from Dover, at the bridge which crosses a river about a mile from Tonbridge, one of the abutments, owing, it is supposed, to the overflowing of the Water and_higb wind which pre vailed at the time, gave way, an d as soon as the, engine en tered upon the bridge; one of the iliche,s• fell and the engine, tender, and two of the luggage waggons, together with the efigine-driver and stoker (tirothers), of the name of Doyle, were precipitated into the water. There were se veral other luggage carriages attached to the train, but they were not injured. The deceased was a young man about twenty-seven years of age, and bore a most respect able character. At the time the accident happened the train was proceeding at a moderate rate.. The stoker is severely hurt, but not considered dangerously. The French mail, which ought to have been at the terminus at London-bridge yesterday morning at five o'clock, in consequence of the acci dent did not arrive until ;eleven o'clock. The downward trains left 'London on,Tuesday morning at the usual time, planks having been placed across the bridge on which 'pas sengers and could be safely conveyed over the river, where another train vra;i.in iyaitingp receive . theni: Up to the time the latest intelligence was, received, the engine, ' tender 'kid' two luggage wag gons remained• in the water, and therefore the extent o(the injury and loss of property cannot at present be ascertained. We hear that when the-two unfortunate men were thrown into the water, one of the brothers, by hill intrepidity rescued the other from a Watery grave ; but. he was.so dreadfully in jured and exhausted, th a t h e di e d on th e b an k o f the river _kfaunciivithwicinyv tf l i K,Ab s st e lion, The body of the was otherwise injured. There were fortunately no passengers, and the two brothers are the only per Sons injured. On Tuesday afternoon the bridge was so far repaired that the trains Were able to pass Without interruption. STRIKING" — FEATURE IN THE - SPORTING .31 7 ORLD. A "new black" has recently arrived from America, of the of W. Perry, from-Annapolis, in-Nova Scotia, anxious to acquire pugilistic fame, and has 'thrown up' his hat in the P.R. as a regular-tone-of-defianee. - But, nevertheless, he has not come to quarrel about the,Oregon territory, the annexa tion Of the Texas, the repeal of the corn-laws, or_ the opening of the ports, but ultimately' to decide whether the Champion ship shall belong to the New .or the Old World. Johnny Broome held out his hand to the man of colour, saying, "Welcome, my-boy; country or colour are all the same to us Englishmen ; we only want good , uns ; and if you can show us that quality, you shall rot want for patrons." Perry is a fine-looking young. man,. and stands 6ftl Itin. in height, weighing rather more than I,.stinie.. His nob has nothing ferocious attached ,to it. ',His face rather pleasing than otherivise. He had heard Of the battles of the late brave, high-couraged Molineux., and he resolved to tread 'in hit steps, if poisible, and be on the gui vine to get at the s top'of. the treein the P.R. The • challenge from Perry was not suffered to, lie on the table; but. Burton, from weighing something more thin 12 stone, and said to possess good milling dualities, made a match with, the black for 151. a side, which came off yesterday. ,"It was to be a quiet day," the Fancy observed, and the patrons of boxing steamed it dowilold Father Thames on the sly to gether in perfect harmony, and as to the name of the place, mum was the order of the day—but the boxers were to land it the first convenient spot which offered itself to prevent the interference of the beaks and the blue bottles. The office was to be• ready—quick, and to go to work without 'lost of time. ',They, landed before they came to Gravesend, and the men appeared in the ring "with the utmost alacrity. The black looked like a dangerous oppo nent, with a potent arm capablo of doing masterly execution, and the winning man. He smiled at Burton with confidence, showed no hesitation on his part, and seemed "eager for the fray," and soon showed himself a. troublesome customer. "fle'llto," Said Johnny Broome. I 'never saw Molineux ; but , his parallel ' I think is in the . ring to day, and he shall be matched with some of the "Big Ones yet." The black took thF lead-1n greatatyle, and kept it; nobbing his opponent with ease; and the first eight minutes convinced the spectators how the'baftle must termitiate, and in twenty minutes. Burton was so punished, and had not the slightest chance in his favour, when the Nita was declared the con queror. He appeared at Johnny Broome's last night, with out the least appearance that he had been .. exhibi t ting prowess in the ring. - Penh is sure to prove a teazer a f of the "Big Ones, " and Gaunt , Tess Par ker, .&c., must look out. The Right Hoyt. and Airs..W. Ewart Gladstone entertained at dinner on Tuesday evening, at the Right Hon. Gentleman's, mansion ,Carlton House• terrace, the Bishop of Jamaica ; Mr. Alexander Wood, of the Emigration -olke ; Mr. Steveas, of the Colonial-office; and other gentlemen connected with that department; Mr. Bonham, late of the Ordnance; Dr. Phillimore, and others.

The weekly meeting of the Asiociation held this day w as most numerously attended, in anticipation of hearing what determination had keen. Arrived at by the Repeal members, wha metthis morning in the- committee-room of 'the Asso ciation, at the suggestion of Mr. O'Connell. At one o'clock_ thellonourable Gentleman entered the hall, and moved that Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P. lbr Cork, take the chair. The CliAinkAN expressed the gratitu le he felt in being called upon to preside over the nieeting of the Association on his first appearanCe in * Conciliation all. It gave him the greatest satisfaction to witness such au assemblage of re pealers, and for his part he could sincerely declare,As the re sult of- observation, reflection, and. conviction, that he be lieved Ireland - could never nit in the position she ought to occupy without - A 'domestic- legislature: In his opinion, it was useless to look to England for amelloratinn, "and in their own exertions alone could they hope for redress. Mr. O'CoisCELL-announced his intention of starting his :youngest son,elllr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., f.,r Dundalk at the next election, and he felt sure that he being a namesake of his oivr.,.would not tarnish him in the eyes of the repealere of that town. He would therefore Move that the ASsociation do recommend Daniel O'Connell, jun., to the special consi deration of, the repealers of the 'town of Dundslk. The motion-was then put - and carried. MEETING . OF - REPEAL MEMBERS. O'Cosnsira; said that the repeal Alembets had not met so 'numerously as might hive been expected, iii consequence of the dinner to the members for Limerick city and county, which was to take place on Wednesday. Five Members were thus necessarily absent.' At the time that he suggested the propriety of calling the meeting in question, it was his opinion ' that the debate on - the corn-laws would take place on Thurs day, hut he had since been informed that no important busi ness could come before the House of Commons till Monday next. : Under- these circumstances he considered it more desir able to postpone•till Friday next the meeting of the Irish lishemoalr 7,ssaenthdbtlleita,tinßstaeadey d i oc s m Hotel,eetin in b g in Conciliation hope ciliati that onlla ll some ahey Irish representatives, Who might have an objection to come here,- might--be induced to meet them on more neutral gTQund. He expressed his conviction that it was the duty 'of every Member of Parliament to attend in the House of Commons on the opening of the session, that he might learn what . were the intentions •of the • Government. `The approaching famine and pestilence, and the d uty o f Buurs to rg l ngon av t t h rt e G t o h v e ern e m ala a n u i t it t: , :e r tetencdeessreidty hiscf adopting preee m moree a - n necessary' in the House of 43oinniOns than in Conciliation hall. mTheeetingtobeheld o matter, however,n F wroiudla, when d y bem th ref ey would ullycotl havesidc:redat the the assistance of several gentlemen--in whom the Irish people reposed unlimited confidence. The great- object he bad in view in calling the proposed meeting was to meet, if possible, the overtures of the _Evening Mail for the formation of a na tional party. The Honourable Gentleman then read an ar ticle which appeared in a late number of that journal, headed " Divide et it:were," recommending the object he had ad verted to. To mark his opinion of the sentiments contained in it, I* would move its insertion on the minutes in perpetuam rei memoriam. After brief speeches from other members, • Mr..O'Coxissaa. said another reason why he intended going to Parliament was to see what England intended to do with the foreign relations. It was idle to conceal the fact that America had virtually declared war against England. The reports of the debates in the American. Senate, Pled him with apprehen sions—the Message of the President itself was mildnesS in com parison with them. The Honourable Gentleman then pro ceeded to urge on the Government the necessity of conciliatin g Ireland if they expected her co-operation in the coming struggle. At the termination of the proceedings the rent for the week was announced to be 367/. 3s. 2d. The meeting then adjourned. COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE. PUBLIC MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.-IVhen it became known in Birmingham that Government intended to re-organise the militia, balloting clubs were immediately set on foot, and a very strong feeling against the proposal soon discovered itself. The Peace Association considered it necessary that a public meeting should be held on the subject, and, having applied for the use of the Town-hall for the occasion, were gratified to find it placed at their disposal free of Charge. The meeting was then fixed to be held on the evening of the 20th, its objects being thus defined, "to petition Parliament against the proposal to call out the militia, and in favour of introducing an arbitration clause in our treaties with foreign powers." At half-past. six o'clock this evening the ball was opened, and soon after great numbers were in attendance, the plat form being oceupied by mort et our influential' townsmen, the side galleries by ladies, and the body of the building by working men. • The chair having been taken by the Rev. Thos. Morgan, a few pertinent observations were made, after which the following rest/intim& were • parsed. The leading speakeiv were Joseph Sturge, Esq., Rev. Thomas , Swan, Rev. P. Lebree, Rev. John Burnet, of London. • ; ".1. That while there is a large and increasing number of our fella** .countrymen who hold the opinion that war in every shape-U contrary. to the spirit and precepts of the Gospel, this meeti"g declares its conviction that the people in general are opposed to military establishments, both as a vast unnewssary expense, and as a great moral injury to the nation. "2. That the measures contemplated. by Government for enrolling the militia have created both surprise - and alarm. and this ins Aing protests against them for these reasons : Because a . studini army in time of peace is repugnant to aii7t atii` tee 'mil; tilt' lir ill rrVel3l4sl3b secPthiPkillifetral justice on the working classes, inasmuch as wile the wealthy . may provide a substitute, the' poor man has no alternative but the gaol, or else to forsake his family and the pursuits of honest industry for an irksome and demoralising servitude. Because the infliction of imprisonment, or the seizure of goods, will be an act of grievous oppression to _those who, as a matter of conscience, can neither submit to personal service in the militia, tiortoparties to . providing a substitute: Lastly, because at a time when the principles of peace are so much more widely recognised than in former years, and the nation is anticipating the extension , and esta blishment of friendly commetmal relations all over the world. any measnre is to be deprecated which would withdraw a large body of men from the occupations of productive in dustry, especially to learn the arts of war and destruction. " That Parliament be petitioned to authorise the insertion of a clause in all treaties with foreign Powers, binding the respective parties, in case of any dispute, to submit it to the arbitration of some neutral Power." . FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES. - The working classes here have had a meeting, at which it was resolved to petition Parliament on behalf of Frost, Williams, and Jones, the Chartist convicts. Arrangements are also in progress for memorialising the Crown for their pardon ; and we under gaud that Mr. Joseph Sturge, Mr. William Scholefield, and some other influential gentlemen have been applied to, to present the memorial to Sir James Graham, Bart. They are quite ready to comply .with this request. THE RIVEtt PLATE. ' LIVERPOOL . , JAN. 20.—Advices from Monte Video to the nd of November have been received vitt Rio de Janeiro. The allied squadrons had destroyed the batteries erected by ROsas at the entrance or the - river; and the large fleet of trading 'vessels assembled at Martin Garcia were expecting immediate orders to proceed to their destinations.

The grate was a.t on a hesith stone, with fire bricks and Welsh lumps, but sta.- ,eieat care was, not at the time taken by the parties who made the alteration to secure the bond timber. which - omission ;has . caused . the present accident. -the.-grate and hearth-stone being removed, it was found that-the latter had been placed directly over a beam ,about a foot square,, which, owing to .the great heat occa sioned by the fires kept up to warm the room, had ignited, and set fire to the girders and other portions of the flooring. Had .not thendiScovery . been providentially made so early. from the.. high 'wind. which prevailed the whole edifice must. have been distioYed, from there being no water - laid on at Kew. . -., , . . - .4.411 - , COURT OF 4.DERMEN.—At aC ourt of Aldermen, held on Tues day, AldeFritan Wilson moved that the resoluti on Ate the passed Ae previOns' Couit,that copies of certain evi - -dance he laid befere-it,-he rescinded. .

A POOR CLERK.

The weather was - exeeedingly'unfavoirable , the rhin Coming 'dovni co . piously, until the hour appointed, namely, two o'clock. The contest was consequently delayed, and it was more than twenty minutes past four, cre the men 'showed at the starting mark. TheNottingliam man looked well, but rather fleshy; the Stag, on the otherland, was thin—thin. to . the verge of attenuation. The men started themselv e S.

The London man slightly increased the distance towards the 120th yard, but, shortly after, the Nottingham youth breasted him. The Stag was evidently .in trouble he sprang forward a few strides, limped, 'and finally stopped,' HandleY putsued the even tenour of his way, running very strong; and at A good pace, until within a ;short lengthof the handkerchiefs, when he slackened speed and,trotted in amid the vOCiferous acclama tions Of the rural division, Thecause ofJenkinsen i s abandon ing the contest, , was ritated to be a sudden and severe attack" of cramp ; and, certainly, from our own personal exainination, 'of:his right leg; immediately after Wards, there was a spainio clic; knotting: of the muscles .at tthe - hinder and lOstier part of the thigh, which ,bore. out. his assettioni indeed he seemed suffering, acute pain. Considerable sums of money changed 'hands, the London . clique - being • prepossessed in favour of Ankinson ; .yet,, cautious ever, few bets were made, except at even.
