When BOLINGBROKE conceived to himself the almost impossible perfection requisite in the character of a Patriot King, he unquestionably looked as much to the influence of political machinery upon the moral and physical condition of the populace as to the accu rate distribution of authority. It would have been inimical to the acknowledged sagacity of a ST. JOHN to anticipate the motor, and to have disregarded the consequent movement. His imagination generated the idea of the perfectability ofmonarchical government, it conjured up the phantom of a popular sovereign, in the strictest signification of those terms, but it like wise pictured the operation of such a benign guidance in evoking the dormant grandeur, in multiplying the morality, and in developing the industrial and com mercial resources of the race submitted to its in• fluence. Nothing, indeed, could afford a more tran scendent theme for the contemplation of a philosophic and synth e ti ca l i ntellect. The growth of a solitary mind, the fabricatio n of an individual fo - tune, the gradual un f o l d i ng of a single dispositio n is ' of itself a glorious and instructive matter for i nves ti ga ti on . How infinit e l y i s the importance o of conjecture mag nified when the su bj ect is not one, but multiple—when we are observa n t o f the aggregate men, n t ot of the unit man—when we are vaticinating n futurity of a citizen, b u t upon the pros o p ec u tf on of an the entire people. It is one a mong the numberless be neflcient consequences of civilization that the hereafter of an empire may be surmised with tolerable confi dence from the data derived from historical ex. perience. Under certain forms of government the .....-----..--.........,- population becomes modelled accordingly. In the enlightenment of the legislative councils, and in the active enterprise of the legislators themselves, we may discern the subsequent Enlightenment and enter prise of the masses. The engrafting of liberal prin -1 o inles upon the original stock of feudal despotism, necessarily introduces an impulsion to the improvement of the multitude. It is the expan sion of the circles on the surface of the water on the immersion of the pebble. Under the influence of civilization the different classes form, unconsciously, incentives to their separate advance ment. Indirectly they are mutually emulative. - - On Tuesday, the 10th instant, the double Chambers of the Belgian Legislature were formally opened by his Majesty King LEOPOLD in person. Ceremonial upon such an occasion is in no possible respect neces sary to invest it with solemnity. The convocation of the council of an independent empire, presided over by the representative of the majesty of the law, possesses of itself an intrinsic interest, which the immaturity or youthfulness of such a government is only calculated to enhance. The programme of the session now just commenced, as pronounced by the KING, is of unusual elaboration, and of an unprece dented importance in that portion of Europe. Every de partment of legislation is afforded au opportunity of act ing beneficially upon the population. Commercially the royal injunctions are fraught with a suggestive in terest. While he acknowledges the advantages which are constantly accruing to the Exchequer from the profits which the Chambers ordained to belong especially to the Treasury from the sugar trade indi vidually, and from commerce generally, king LEOPOLD endeavours to incite his subjects to atfurther display of mercantile enterprise, to a reliance upon the resources of Belgium, and t o a conviction of the integrity and stability of all foreign alliances. He enforces upon the Legislature the necessity of encouraging, by every contrivance, the improvement of labour, the increase of wages, the organization of industry, and especially the extension of exportations. "To extend the export trade" he avouches to be among the paramount objects of his government. Is not that the insinuation of such an enlarge ment of international commerce as would tally with the principles advocated by free-traders ? Is it not the moral reverberation of the sentiments inculcated by the League and enforced by the British Parliament ? Are not those declarations inaugurative of the dissemination of our free-trade doctrines throughout the states and principalities of the Conti nent? Cordially we hope so. Nor are we elated by mere aspirations ; our anticipatory joy has a more stable foundation. The spread of those principles of political economy which were rendered triumphant in Westminster by the dignified reparation of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and which are now being promulgated in foreign lands by the unaffected but impressive oratory of RICIIARD COBDEN, is insured by their innate justice. Notwithstanding the immunity of the Belgian agriculturists, as far as the latent potato crop is con cerned, the universal failure of the rye harvest is acting as prejudicially to their interests, and conse quently to the interests of the multitude, as the vege table murrain did in 1845. Upon this particular King LEOPOLD comments with considerable earnestness, and offers a variety of sagacious and benevolent sug gestions. The prosecution of the public works, the assistance of railway speculation, the canalization of the Campine, the irrigation and drainage of unculti vated tracks—all present opportunities for the exer cise of individual and official generosity, for the pre servation of the operatives from destitution, and ultimately for the reclamation of extensive territories which have hitherto remained un occupied and unremunerative. From the stagna tion of trade among those engaged in linen manufac tures, the necessity of some immediate and liberal interference is heightened, and upon the existence of that necessity the KING speaks explicitly enough. In every emergency his MAJESTY appears to be conscious of the heavy responsibilities concentrated upon his own shoulders. The sense of that responsibility is one of the surest safeguards of a community ; and from this inaugurative address, it appears to augur an effectual exertion for the relief of the suffering Belgians. Besides paying sedulous attention to the mercantile, physical, sanatory, and municipal exigencies of his subjects, King LEOPOLD endeavours to keep pace with the advancing spirit of this generation, as far as moral and intellectual education are concerned. The enactments relating to secondary instruction require, according to his view, the especial super vision of the Chambers. "My Government," says he, "recommends this grand moral question to your enlightened solicitude." In subsequent portions of the royal speech allusions are likewise made to the advisability of elevating the minds, of purifying the hearts, of strengthening the muscles, of re-invigo rating the frames, and of enlarging the ambition of the population. Inasmuch as the language uttered by King LEO POLD is indicative of an anxiety on the part of that Sovereign, and on the part of the subordinate members of that Legislature, to better the condition of the Belgian people, as well as to sustain the dignity of the empire, we are gratified with the cir cumstances under which the session of 1847 has dawned. In that address we have a guarantee that the principles of civilization and the doctrines of social and political freedom are fructify ing among nations. Beyond this we recognise the fact that in his intimate relations with the dynasties of England and France King LEOPOLD has extracted the most generous and humanizing lessons from the Governments of those countries ; that he is striving to emulate those who have been regarded as the benefactors of the people; and that he is endeavouring to ensure to his subjects the blessings of Constitu tional Monarchy. It is impossible to peruse the report of an applica tion that was made on Moniay last (and which appeared in the columns of The Sun the following day) on behalf of a lady named SUUTTLEWORTII, with out being forcibly struck at the extraordinary and anomalous state of the law with respect to lunatics, or alleged lunatics. It is the proudest boast of Englishmen, that the meanest British subject is shielded and protected, and that his liberty cannot be interfered with, or abridged with impunity, by the most exalted in the realm. That liberty is guarded with the utmost jealousy, for every man feels that its unconstitutional violation in the person of another might form a precedent that might hereafter be turned against himself. So strong was this feeling, that arrest on mesne process was abolished, although many erroneously asserted that its continuance was necessary for com mercial security, because it was justly considered that it was most, improper to permit any person to be taken into custody until it had bean proved before a competent tribunal that he was fairly and truly in debted to the party complaining against him ; even the oath of the plaintiff, which the law had formerly rendered a condition precedent to an arrest, and any violation of which was severely punishable, both civilly and criminally, not being considered a suffi cient guarantee for the due preservation of the liberty of the subject. There is, however, a marked distinction between one particular case and all others. The moment a cry of lunacy is raised, the moment the sanity of the indi vidual is questioned, all protection is withdrawn; he may be seized on and dragged from his home and family, subjected to the closest imprisonment, the most strin gent regulations, the severest punishment, se cluded from his friends, not permitted to sze those nearest or dearest to him, or even informed of the nature of the authority under which he is subjected to such restrictions. No means are afforded to him by which the injustice of the imputation can be proved, or his sanity tested; and, in tco many instances, he is goaded cm from a temporary excitement, which a few days' rest and tranquillity would have terminated, into the state of mental incapacity charged against him, by the harsh ness and cruelty of his treatment. All that is neces sary to justify the parties taking the step against Lien is the certificate of any two medical practitioners that he is of unsound mind ; the sanction of an oath is not required to prove that the signers of the certi ficate are really of that opinion, and there is no way of punishing th em if m i sta k en i n their judgment, un less it can b e es t a bli s h ed that they were actuated by malice again s t th e i nd i vidual, and at the very mo ment of si gn i ng the document by which he was consigned to custody, and per Laps his prospects in life totally destroyed, were well aware of his sanity. It is to be feared that the extraordinary facility thus given to the incarceration of any individual has too often been abused; that persons have been thus I injured for the purpose of being coerced into some dis position of their property, or making some concession in favour of unworthy relatives, which they otherwise, and by fairer means, could not have been induced to make ; in other instances that obnoxious and trouble some parties have been got rid of, and subjected to incarceration, by these lettres du cachet. A punish ment not known to, or sanctioned by the law, may thus be inflicted on any one who has incurred the anger of a wealthy or unscrupulous person, who can secure the assistance and pay for the services of two medical practitioners. We do not mean to cast any reproach on the highly respectable profession to which we have alluded ; we believe that its members might fearlessly challenge a comparison with any body of equal number ; but it is too much to suppose that two black sheep may not be found amongst their ranks, who will be little scrupulous as to the means by which a large fee might be obtained, or, even were they all immaculate and not to be influenced intentionally to commit wrong, their might be an error of judgment, which would entail the same formidable consequences on the victim. That "doctors differ" has passed into a proverb ; and there are few cases that admit of any, the slightest doubt, that advocates for either opinion may not be found amongst the medical profession. Surely a power so unlimited, and which might so easily be used as a formidable instrument of oppres sion, should not be entrusted in the hands of any man or body of men. In the case to which we have alluded, the lady, a Mrs. SRUTTLEWORTH, was seized, in the beginning of August, while in a carriage with her usual medical attendant, a member of the College of Surgeons, and although he testified in the strongest manner to her sanity, she was, by the assistance of the police, re moved forcibly to a lunatic asylum in the neighbour hood of town, where she has since been detained, without her friends being permitted to see her or hear from her, or even to see the certificate under which she was detained, until application to a judge was made to enable them to do so. The medical gentle man, Dr. QUAIL, who had attended her, bore testi mony, on oath, that the lady, who had been under his care for five years, was of sound mind, and he was corroborated by the affidavits of three other persons, who had full opportunities of forming a judgment. It appears that the lady had lived in strict retirement for some time, and that the parties pro ceeding against her were utter strangers to her. The application for a habeas corpus was granted, and we may speedily expect to hear more of the subject, unless a compromise takes place, as in Mrs. CUMMING'S case. Comment is quite unnecessary on the foregoing facts. They show the imperative necessity for legis lative interference—for the law being placed on a ounder and more correct footing. We trust that they may not be without effect in procuring its speedy revision. It is a question on which every citizen is interested, and we hope that each will call the attention of his representative, in order that the stain cn our law may no longer be permitted or sanctioned. The Grand Council of Basle determined on the sth instant to adopt the propDsitions of the committee for a reform in the constitution. The new Haniburgh Gazette publishes the address of the States of Schleswig-Holstein to the King of DENMARK, in reply to the letter patent of his MA JESTY on the Bth July last. The States say that,they saw with astonishment in the letter patent, and in the proclamation of the 18th September, an opinion expressed which is in direct contradiction to the fun damental law of the constitution of the duchies, and in violation of their independence. The States deny that the law of succession of Denmark is applicable to the duchies, and proceed in their ad dress to the refutation, one by one, of the arguments of the letter patent. The address concludes by directing the attention of the KING to the intense sensation that has been produced on this subject, and which, it is intimated, may be manifested in a turbu lent manner, if the principles put forth in the letter patent be persisted in. The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette announces the arrest and imprisonment, at Posen, of the son of an ex- General of the Polish army on a charge of con spiracy. The King of BAVARIA has just issued a decree suspending for two years the payment of the arrears of taxes, in order that the tax-payers may be able to contribute funds for the supply of bread to the poor at a cheap rate. his MAJESTY has also subscribed from his own purse 30,000 florins towards relieving the poor, and has ordered that corn from the Govern ment stores shall be supplied at a low price. Madrid papers of the sth have arrived. The rumour of an impending change in the Spanish Ministry was still rife in Madrid. Senor MOM, with the title of Marquis CASA MON, is to be the new President of the Council, and PIDAL, PEZUELA, BRAVO MuRILLo, and the Marquis of CASA IRUJO, are to have seats in the Cabinet. The Progressists are making great preparations for the approaching elections. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34t for cash, and 34i- for paper. The other se curities experienced no change. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Marquis of NOR3IANDY was on that morning introduced to the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPEN SIER and to the Prince and Princess DE JOIN VILLE, at a private audience at the Tuileries. It appears that when Lord NORMANDY received the invitation to attend the reception at the Tuileries, he of course declined to accept ,it. On Monday he wrote to M. GUIZOT, explaining the impossibility, under existing circumstances, of his attending any official congratulatory ceremony in honour of the marriage ; but, at the same time, stating his anxiety to pay every mark of respect to all the members of the Royal Family of France, and, among others, to the Duke of MONTPENSIER, and to the Duchess as a French princess. He, therefore, expressed a hope that he should be allowed an oppor tunity at some future period of being presented to them, and to the other members of the Royal Family who were absent from Paris at the period of his pre sentation at Court in August last. The same evening Lord NORMANDY received an answer, inviting him to the Tuileries this morning (Tuesday), at twelve o'clock, to be presented to the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER and the Prince and Princess of JOIN VILLE in their private apart ments. His Lordship of course attended, and the presentation accordingly took place. The conduct of the Marquis of NORMANDY on this occasion has been admirable. Had he attended the presentation he would have been tricked into giving an apparent sanction to the farce played by the Spanish Ambassador, of acknowledging the Duchess of MONTPENSIER as heiress presumptive of Spain, and he would thereby have in some measure invalidated the protest which he had presented in the name of his Government. He, however, as all who know him would imagine he would, felt exceedingly anxious to offer no discourtesy to a Princess of France —he asked permission to pay his personal respects to the Duchess of MONTPENSIER as a Princess of France, and without reference to her position as an Infanta of Spain ; as a French Princess the Duchess received the English Ambassador. The Quotidienne, the organ of the Legitimatists, has 1 ' the following, in answer to th e ar ti c l e on the absence of Lord NORMANBY from the Court on S a t u rday, ' - which appeared in the Presse of Monday : " The Presse endeavours to console itself, sayi ng —' If 'the absence of the English Ambassador must absolutely be considered as a new protest of the Government he ' represents, it must be admitted, on the other hand, that 1 the presence of the Ambassadors of all the other powers is a very significant adhesion.' We cannot discover the logical connexion between the two members of this sentence. England has acknowledged the sovereignty 'of Queen Isabella, and as a necessary consequence that an hereditary right is vested in the Infanta :Luisa Fernanda. If England had once assented to the :marriage, she could not afterwards repudiate its legiti mate consequences ; that is to say, she could no more have any right to oppose the children of the Duke de 2lontpensier in succeeding in right of their mother to -the crown of Spain. Hence come these reiterated pro -tests—hence also the necessity of not doing a single act, :however insignificant it may be, which may appear to , warrant an inference that she had suffered her opposi tion to subside. In this sense the absence of Lord Nor- TILE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNINO, NOVEMBER l3, 1846 manby adds nothing to the notes of the Englisk Cabinet; but it confirms them, it revives them under a more poignant form, for it gives them all the effect of pub licity. On the contrary, the Northern Posers have pertinaciously adhered to the treaty of Utrecht, and the pragmatic sanction of Philip the Fifth ; for then the Infanta is only a Princess of the House of Bourbon without any hereditary right to the throne of Spain. Her marriage is with them but a family arrangement, perfectly indifferent to their policy. Her children will be French Princes, grandchildren of Louis Philippe, and neither more nor less than the children of the Duke de Nemours and the Duke d'Aumale. They will not even rank in the line of inheritance to the throne of Spain. Therefore the Ambassadors of the Northern Powers could be present at the diplomatic reception of Saturday without thereby warranting any conclusion in favour of the policy of M. Guizot. Ever since 1833, they have been found at the Tuileries an all solemn occasions, and no one has inferred from this that they have acceded to the acknowledgment of Isabella by the French Govern ment. There was no reason for imitating the conduct of the English Ambassador. Their principles are different, their situations dissimilar, and therefore their positions are not the same. The English Cabinet is, no doubt, separated from the Northern Powers in the pre sent state of the question; but would it remain so if the succession to Isabella was opened ? It was much more so before the marriage, and there was no contact between them at any point. There would have been one if the Infanta Luisa Fernanda had been in a position to claim a right which the English Cabinet as well as the Northern Powers did not acknowledge to be vested in her." 877 f. 50c. ; Vicrzon, 567 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux, 540 f. ; Boulogne, 450 f. ; Troves and blontereau, 350 f. ; Basle, 217 f. 50c. ; Dieppe, 353 f. 75c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 480 f. ; Tours and Nantes, 490 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 503 f. 75c.; Lyons and Avignon, 490 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 480 f. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 38; Spanish Domestic Debt, 32 3 ,1.

The Presse has another long article on the Mont pensier marriage, but it does not propound a single new argument. On the subject of the course pur sued by the King of the BELGIANS in the present crisis L'Epoque remarks-- " Some journals, which are never at a loss to interpret the most secret thoughts of sovereigns, immediately as serted that the King of the Belgians had declared against the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier, and that he had returned to Brussels, after refusing to mediate be tween the King of the French and the Queen of Eng land. All these suppositions, notwithstanding the mar vellous assurance with which they were brought forward, are, nevertheless absurd in the extreme. The King of the Belgians is a man of too much sense and discretion to have acted such a part. Being allied nearly in the same degree to the Royal Families of England and France, be must be equally rejoiced at the success of either, and be equally chagrined at the occurrence of any trifling difference calculated to im pair their mutual good feeling. Extraordinary and in decorous endeavours were made to prevent the King of the Belgians from visiting the Royal Family of France. He felt bound by his relationship, and his good sense, to resist those suggestions, but, after his condescension for Paris, came his condescension for London. After showing himself impartial on the one side, he wished to show himself impartial on the other, and he left St Cloud without awaiting the arrival ofthe Duke de Mont pensier, excusing himself on the approaching opening of the Belgian Chambers. Nevertheless, we have reason to know that, previous to his departure, the King of the Belgians wrote a letter to the Duke de Montpensier, in which he assured him that he would soon pay him a visit. There is no part of his Majesty's conduct that is not dictated by the strictest propriety, and, far from re fusing his friendly intervention, the King of the Bel gians was, on the contrary, desirous to reserve to him self the right and power of interfering by acting as he did, and avoiding to evince any preference for either of the two families, who must be equally dear to him." The Moniteur and the Journal des Daats are half filled with details of the inscription of the Mont pensier marriage on the " Etat-Civil" registers of the Royal Family. This ceremony took place with all the usual formalities on Monday, at the Palace of St. Cloud, and in the Salon de Mars. In addition to every branch of the family, all the grand dignitaries of the State, with the Spanish Ambassador, and all the officers of the embassy, were present. At a quarter-past four his :MAJESTY entered the hall, leading in the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER ; the DUKE, her husband, supported his Royal Mother. They were followed by all the Princes and Prin cesses, including the Count DE PARIS, the Duke DE CHARTRES, and Prince Plump of Wurte rnberg. The KING, the Princes, and all the gentlemen present were in court dresses, or in full uni form, and wore the cordons and other insignia of the several orders with which they are invested. They took their seats at a table covered with velvet, placed under the portrait of Louis XIV. The bride and bridegroom sat between the KING and QUEEN, and the rest of the family in succession, at each hand of their Majesties. Facing them were the KING'S Ministers, the Spanish Ambassador, Marshal Mo- LITOR, Count MOLE, the Duke DE BROGLIE, and the First President, SEGUIER. Behind these were the President, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the Chamber of Peers, M. GIROD (de l'Ain), M. 13AivrilE, and other Peers ; M. SAUZET, the President, with the Vice-President and Secretaries of the Chamber of Deputies, the Procureur de Roi, M. DUPIN ; the Procureur-General, M. HEBERT ; Lieutenant- General JACQUEIIINOT ; the Prefects of the Seine, the Seine et Oise, and the police. Behind the Royal Family were seated the Ladies of Honour of the QUEEN and Princesses, and the wives of the Ministers. Around the second circle stood all the officers of the KING and Princes. The Chan cellor, Duke PASQUIER, in his simarre, and the grand Refendary, attended by M. CAUCIIEY, Keeper of the Archives, were at the end of the table. Having re ceived the KING'S command, the Chancellor read the Act of Marriage solemnized at Madrid. This done, the KING rose and signed the entry, and was followed by the QUEEN, the Duke and Duchess DE MONT PENSIER, the Princes and Princesses, the Ministers, the Spanish Ambassador, and the other witnesses.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From rite Sun of Last Night.) In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, the sales were 6,000 bales, at steady rates. There were 150 Bahia at 64d. to 7d. ; 300 Egyptian at 7d. to Bid. ; 1,500 Surat at 34d. to 44d ; 70 Sea Island at is. lid. to ls. 6d. ; and 4,000 American at sd. to 6fld. per lb. The Share Market at Liverpool yesterday was tolerably good, a moderate business having been done. At the eleventh hour, the committee of the Ennis killen and Sligo Railway, have announced to the scrip holders that a first dividend of 12s. 6d. per share is to be returned to the subscribers or holders. The original payment was 21. 10s. per share. It is to be hoped that a much further return will be made to those who from the first to the last have supported the committee. It would have been well that, with an announcement of the first dividend, an authorised statement of the receipts had been made, and a detailed statement of the expenditure. Here the account current is looked for with the utmost anxiety, as there are reports of a most exorbitant outlay, and to little purpose. There are some commercial accounts from America in town to-day of a later date by one day than those before received. There is very little of interest in them. The exportation of flour, Indian corn, &c., was conti nued with the utmost activity. In the Consol Market not much business has been transacted to-day. The price for the Account has re mained at 944, while for Money the current value has been 944 A. In the premium upon Exchequer-bills there has been but a slight fluctuation—viz., from I Is. to 14s. India Bonds are at 245. premium. Bank Stock has ad vanced to 2052, while the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been done at 958. An inconsiderable amount of business has been trans acted in the Foreign Funds to-day. Mexican Stock has ruled from 221 to 24, and Spanish from 264 to 265. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 59, while the Four per Cents. have receded from 92 to 914. The Share Market has been flat all the morning excep for the well-paying lines. At half-past six there was a grand dinner, at which were present the whole of those who took part in the ceremony, with other guests, to the number of 140. The marriage of the Duke of BORDEAUX with a Princess of Modena, which took place . on the 31st ultimo, and which has been notified by the Duke himself to the Viscount DE CIIATEAUBRIAN D , is con sidered by the Legitimatists and the Republicans of France as a sort of set-off against the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. There can be but little doubt that King Louis PHILIPPE and M. GuizoT must both feel excessively annoyed at the ill-success which has attended their intrigues to prevent the opposes another. diplomacy y x—ii grand event marriage of the Due DE BORDEAUX.

The marriage of the Duchess d'Este was first announced as having been concluded with a son of Don Carlos. Whilst this report was spread preparations were being made with the utmost activity, and one fine morning Louis Philippe learnt, just like England, by the newspapers, that he had been taken in. M. de Montpensier, to use M. Bresson's expression, has had a tolerable' fortune with his wife. The Duke de Bordeaux marries, in our palace's language, 15,000,000 florins (the Italian florin is worth 2f. 50c.), and he will inherit, by his wife, 100,000,000 more. His marriage, therefore, secures him, altogether, about 3 00,000,000 f. Considering money alone, what a retaliation !" The sister of the Duchess of BORDEAUX is be trothed to the second son of Don CARLOS. The remains of Admiral DUPERRE were interred with great pomp on Monday, at the Hotel des Inva lides. Admiral MACKAU, the Minister of Marine, pronounced the funeral oration. OITE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 204% ,2051/2 CLOSING PRICES. 205% _ 3 per Cent.

FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—Wednesday night, at 11 o'clock, a fire broke out in the leather factory of Messrs. Ceilison and Co., Star-court, Bermondsey. It originated in the basement, and, having forced its way through, extended to the floors above. The firemen exerted them selves to prevent the flames attacking the top floors, in which the stock was deposited, and were fortunately successful; the flames being entirely extinguished by half-past one o'clock this morning, but not until a very serious amount of property had been either burned or extensively damaged by fire and heat. It was stated that upwards of 200 men were employed on the premises, but it is hoped they will not be thrown out of employ ment by the disaster.
