Sza,—On Monday the 22d, the House in Committee proceeded as far as the 96th clause in the Health of Towns Bill. I was entrusted from Roch dale with proposing a clause to come in after the 80th, giving a power in cases where by the previous clause a burial-ground has been closed as dangerous to health, to provide a new burial-ground in the neigh. bourhood. It was partially debated on Monday night, though by the forms of the House the clause must be brought forward after all the others are dis. posed of. I have made some alterations to suit what appeared to be the feeling of the House and of the Government; and it is so evident that if the dead are not buried in one place they must in another, that I hope the anxieties of our friends at Rochdale are in a way of being set to rest. On the same evening I put on the Proceedings a proposal to add to clause 57 (which requires all per sons who let lodgings for a less period than a week to register their houses as what some Members con temptuously called " tramp lodging-houses,") an ex ception in favour of allowing licensed victuallers to send a traveller to lodge for the night in a private dwelling-house, on condition that the charge for the same be made entirely by the licensed victualler, and that no meat, drink, or other provisions, be furnished or had in the lodging. It seems as if this would ob viate danger of collusion from those who desire t, keep dirty lodging-houses ; and in the last resort there would be the power of refusing a license to the victualler who should be found engaging in a plot for contravening the objects of the law. It will certainly be hard if a lawyer or commercial traveller arrives at night at the Sue or the Bowling -green, and Betty declares she has not another bed " i'th 'ouse," that he cannot he sent to Mr. Jones's or Mr. Wilson's over the way, without Mr. Jones or Mr. Wilson registering his house as a " tramp lodg ing-house," which to a certainty he will not do ; and the same for all sorts and conditions of men. As the use of Houses of Commons and Committees is to know what people think of things, I wish you would take the opinion of the landlords or landladies of the respectable hostelries above named, upon the subject stated. Another question of general interest attaches to clause 95. After enacting in a previous clause, that of expenses incurred under this Act three-fourths shall be deducted from the rent, and one-fourth paid by the tenant, clause 95 directs that nothing in this Act contained shall alter or affect any contract between landlord and tenant, entered into before the passing of the Act. I asked last night, whether before was not a misprint for after ; for if there is to be any effectual execution of the proposed apportionment between landlord and tenant, and if the thing is not put into the Act for the purpose of being taken out contracts made before the passir ig of the Act that there is any use in applying it; inas. much as in contracts made afterwards, the parties can take care of themselves. again, it is only to The answer made by the Attorney-General I could not collect, in the hurry and buzz of the House. But rates, char I hare since taken counsel with a barrister with liamentary, par me that the usual form in contracts between land lord and tenant is, that the tenant binds himself o s f ew th e e rs s ' whom ar l idat h et a e v ar e nmd some acquaintance, and he informs that he " shall and will well and truly pay, satisfy, part the reof." get hereafter asietohoerafr.r,ig, imposed shall,p o as at td a they nuy tseverallyin t i me duringbe t c h o em continuance n d t n e u , a the Land -tax c s s t u i a t A o g i c f i7criht is,o f esnhhgadeioplealrsrrl:haobtanveaeypnidnndfoddeuendamrdel further impositionsethnt e t h. ntsrsaintdt otherwise,ati n en l e bol r set wwnsesg t h:e a ias x citst n e hhee taxes, now ort assess ments,i,:nasp.hteaare tra:.l paym be construed to alter or make void ence taws sn and landlord a assessments sm a and t s t tenant a then t touching conse premises, or any d r ud e a s pew:: contracto f the b e e i d . that the land -tax is taken from the tenant, whi ch seems to be exactly what is intended now. And n a corresponding ques ti on of Sewers, a similar deci sion has been given (see Walker v. Andrew s , 3 Mee. & Wel.). But in the Property -tax Act of .5 and 6 Victoria, c. 35, s. 73, it is provided that no contact between landlord and tenant touching the payment of taxes to be charged on their respective premises shall be deemed to extend to the duties charged under that Act; and by a subsequent clause any such contract is declared utterly void. Here then the question is out. Is the Act to make profes sion of dividing the expense of sewerage between landlord and tenant, and then by a subsequent clause leave tenants bound by contracts visibly entered into without any contemplation of the coming of this Act ; or i 3 it to do as was done in the case of the Property-tax, and enforce the apportionment upon the landlord ? I cannot make anybody understand it ; so go round to all the tenants in Bradford, and ask them if they see into it any better. In the mean time I have given notice of motion on the Report, to substitute for clause 95 the clauses in the Property-tax Act of 6 and 6 Victoria. If any body in Bradford thinks this of any consequence, they should send me instructions or support; for there is no use in constituencies complaining afterwards, if they do not exert themselves while a question is in progress. On Tuesday it was decided by 103 against DO, on the motion of Lord George Bentinck, that the House should adjourn over Wednesday for the Derby. So the petition of your 7,350 on the Suffrage must lie over, unless Mr. Hume gets his motion brought for ward to-night. But of this, the event has shown there is no chance. On another motion from Lord George Bentinck, the Protectionists maintained a debate till eleven at night, on the subject of some re turns which nobody intended to oppose. The Mem ber for Montrose then postponed his motion till the 20th of June ; for which he was vigorously taken to task by the Member for Nottingham, who was taken to task with equal vigour by the Member for the West Riding. The consequence of the whole appears to be, that the country must go on taking its own counsels on the measure of Reform which may be re quired ; for waiting till the 20th of June is like asking the tide at London-bridge to wait for the Lord Mayor's barge, though the Prime Minister does not think so. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, May 24, 1848. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have Graham's Town journals to the 18th, and news from Cape Town to the 25th of March. The frontier continued tranquil, but many of the settlers, distrusting the pacific profts.dons of the Kafirs, were of opinion that none should be allowed to enter the colony without written permission. The Graham's Town Journal, advocating this precau• tionary measure, says, " The prevalent opinion is, that the Kafirs will repeat their aggressions—that, as their youth grow up, the same disposition to attack the colony \sill as heretofore be indulged, and that this, if not effectually nipped in the bud, will be sure to lead in the end to overt acts of violence and rob bery. It is, we conceive, of importance to bring these matters thus publicly forward, lest, in the intoxication of our joy at the admirable skill of the pilot at the helm, we should, amidst a thousand perils, be lulled into a false sense of security and neglect to use that exertion, and to take those precautions which are es sential to ultimate safety." A person named Ingram had been murdered with in a few miles of Graham's Town, by some marauding Kafirs. In the district of Victoria the plan for establishing military villages was in active operation, some of the choicest tracts of land having been selected for the purpose. _ There were rumours that, while the natives generally, from the borders of the colony to beyond Natal, appeared satisfied with the new arrangement& which had been made for their settlement, many of the emigrant Boers were manifesting a hostile spirit, and expressing a determination not to acknowledge the supremacy of the British Government. The proposal to erect a statue of Sir Harry Smith at Cape Town had been received with the greatest favour throughout the colony. _ Cha w rl as ee, CHARING.CROSS HOSPlTAL. — Y e sterday a meeting p f r t f managem ent for the e past yenr r he we i r n e sti a t d u in tio it n ted of the governors the tt e n h d air c . om T m h it e te r e e 51 1 ,t e ra l at d teedr i n ,lE2, t so h q9 e .2, ibnoa indigentr board-room o s m i ock f the on the books for relief, at a cost of 2,292/. 4 5 . 1 Id ., of which num ber _1,155 were in-patients, and 10,93 7 were out patientsletters, and 10,509 freely ad m it te d w i thout any reco mmendation whatever ; making a tota l, s i nce t h e tory ; 1,583 patients were rec eive d b y recommends, foundation of the institution in 1818, of 133,758.

POSTAGE ON FOREIGN LETTERS.—The following notice was yesterday issued by the authorities of the Post-office:—" Henceforward the postage upon regis tered letters addressed to parts abroad, and posted at those offices which are not restricted to the receipt of stamped and unpaid letters, may be paid either in money or by means of postage stamps, at the option of the sender. The registration fee, however, must be paid in money, as at present. The modification of the existing regulation does not extend to plaeee within the United hinedom, the postage upon u Inch letters must still be paid in stamps.

NICOLL have, in these Warerooms, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT in every subitance, ; but at present they are chiefly adapted for warm weather. The sizes kept ready for immediate wear will embrace all, from a Daniel Lambert to the smallest school boy. Although Nicoll's Patent Pocket Protector, together with other improvements, have been added, yet the New Registered Paletot will retain its predecessor's moderate charge, viz , Two Guineas, or lined silk, Two-and-a-Half; and the Paletot .t'Ete, One Guinea. NO. 116, REGENT - STREET. Messrs. NICOLL have recently attached these premises to those where they have hitherto been honoured with the distin guished patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, his Grace the Duke of Welling ton, the elite of rank and fashion, as also the chef members 01 the senate, pulpit, and the bar. In addition to an increased ac commodation for the sale of the REGISTERED PALETO l', these new waierooms will contain, ready for immediate use, driving capes, wrappers, yachting and shooting coats, the substances of which are adapted for the service of travellers to any clime, be it Kamschatka, Timbuctoo, or any of the more temperate and genial regions. NO. 120, REGENT - STREE r. - Messrs. NICOLL have here collected the whole of the very large reserve stock of WOOLLEN CLOTHS, FANCY and PLAIN TROUSEtiINGS, VESTINGS, &c., necessary to sup ply their several establishments. Most of the designs for the present season are either registered or confined to their sole use, but the choice of which (any length being cut) is now offered to town and country buyers, shippers, &c., the whole being marked in plain figures at the smallest rate of profit perhaps ever previously offered. It would be idle of Messrs. Nicoll to invite attention to this fact, were they mot determined that the goods themselves should be able to prove their assertion. 'WO 22, CORNHILL.—AIessrs. NICOLL re spectfully intimate to their City patrons :that these premises have been expressly opened for their convenience. The NEW REGISTERED PALETOT and other garments can there be obtained in the same degree of excellence as at their Regent-street Ware rooms; materials, fashions, cutters, and others, being utter the same direction. CHANGE -ALLEY.—Messrs. NICOLL have provided SHOW-ROINIS (the entrance to which is as above), where merchants, shippers, &c., may, without interruption, examine the several samples there displayed, the same being intended for foreign and colonial purposes. The goods consist of materials only of the first character, to which attention is particularly invited. N ICOLL'S PALETOT, newly Registered, 6 and 7 Vic., Cap. 65. Messrs. NICOLL, whilst inviting general attention to this their most novel effort in the cause of fashion combined with personal comfort, beg that it will not he forgottm that all that could be said favourably describing its predecessor for its neatness and unpretending gentle wanly appearance, its avoidance of all foreign or extraneous effeet, its moderate price, durability, and agreeable lightness ; all these are retained in the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT, which possesses the happy combination of two different effects, in other words, it shows to advantage a good figure, or improves an imperfect ono. NICOLL'S PATENT POCKET PRO TECTOR.—This title describes an invention effected by Messrs.

The POCKET PROTECTOR is applica ble to any garment, and is attached, free of additional expense, to an overcoat, the form of which is registered by them, and widely known under the title of the R?gistcred Paletot. Tho principal merit of the Pocket Protector consists in its preventing any valuable subtance or object from accidentally dropping out, and yet the wearer can place such in, or withdraw the same, with all customary convenience.—Licenses to use this patent will loe granted to all Messrs. Nicoll's agents, resident in the principal provincial towns. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RA C ES.—Tuxsim.v. We observed in our sketch of the engagements the entries did not quite come up to " concert pitch;" the remark is particularly applicable to the Craven Stakes, in which no public horse made his appearance whose running can by any ingenuity be supposed to have the slightest reference to the Derby nags. The racing having so little to attract, we must attribute the attend ance yesterday—and it was moderate enough—to the conjoint influence of fine weather, railway facilities, and the anxiety evinced amongst th e th ousands i ntereste d in the Derby—either by direct sp ecu l a ti on, or t h roug h the instrumentality of sweeps—t o ascerta i n, b y perso nal obsei vation, how the chance s o f t h e i r severa l f anc ies stood affected in the "ring." We need not, therefore, call upon imaginations to " make much ado about nothing;" it is enough to state that some of the races were run over a portion of the new Derby Course—the only novelty—and that the sport, if it lacked importance, came quite up to the standard in quantity ; it was not brought to a close until half-p as t s i x o ' c l oc k . P ass ing from the events of the day, w e may d evote a f ew lines to the fluctuations in the Derby b ett i ng. S ome large sums were laid at evens on Surpli ce , w h o, at t h e c l o se of business, appeared to have sli g htl y t h e ca l l o f t h e field. Glendower and Nil Desperandum were backed at 6 to 1 each, and 10 to 1 was taken once or twice about Springy Jack; the layers, however, were numerous and eager, and at the close his backers were non. est. Shylock, in the early part of the afternoon, was quoted at 10 to 1, and looked " suspicious;" various rumours were afloat — he had been coughing—was sold—would not run, &c., a panic was the consequence, and he went by rapid strides to 30 and 40 to 1, taken, however, by g o o d judges. It then transpired that the Duke of Rutland had consented to give Robinson up to ride for Lord Clilden, on hearing which, Mr. Green, who had retained him in the event of his not being required by the Duke, put in his claim; a long negotiation ensued, and the result was, that the Duke of Rutland's permission was recalled; thatßobin; son, after all, will be on The Fiddler, at least such is the present arrangement. Pending this discussion , Shy lo c k came again with a rush, and these who laid 30 and 40 to 1, bad the mortification to see him backed at 10 and 12 to 1. This movement, following upon the scratching of the old firm of " Swiss B o y an d Company," made no small stir in the ring. The general prices, up to six o'clock, the names of the probable starters, riders, &c., are given underneath. Whether there will be any more "declarations" remains to be seen; but that such will be the case is far from improbable. The racing commenced shortly after the appointed hour, with _ _ The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each; for three yrs old, 6st 81b; four, Bst 101 b; five, 9st 41b; six and aged, 9st 101 b.

The Cur was one of the first off, but was immediately drawn back, and the running taken up by Sagacity, fol lowed by Chat and Sir Gilbert Heathcote's mare ; this lot maintained the front rank to the turn, where Chat gave place to Brocardo, who went in, waiting on with Sagacity and Sir G. Heathcote's filly to the road, where he took up the running. The Cur played the waiting game to the half distance, where he shot past the leading horses, and ran home an easy winner by a length—only a neck between the second and third. Ran in 2 min. 14 sec.

Marriage rectitires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cease of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when ased in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence in which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfertunately ha ens that the unhappy 'dimlife or from the follies of advanced age, of excessive Indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired 1 '1' 11 01U : 1 1 1 Y q b u ti a t il e fi r e r d on P e l o 'Y us si l e y ia eutTr r ta r i e l to leir invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of quently a , while suffering i'e ap plying beyond the reach of l ie le d f. tha S t ha t T e e se an c d oni th i Ld li r i e ts ad a s r o e art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can he procured.

EXTENSION OF THE BROAD GAUGE TO BIRMINGHAM. The Railway Commissioners have presented to Parliament their report on Lord Redcsdale's motion for an inquiry into the merits of the different lines running to the north. 'We have not seen the report, but we understand it admits the superior speed of the broad gauge engines, and recommends that the broad gauge should he carried up to Birmingham, on the as sumption that a break of gauge at Oxford or Penny Compton would he very unfair to the public, and that, in fact, as the broad gauge will shortly be completed between London and Wolverhampton, the Commis sioners feel bound on public grounds to recommend its continuation from Oxford to Birmingham. We are informed—but we must be permitted to doubt the accuracy of the information—that the Commissioners do not admit that the broad gauge has any mercantile superiority over the narrow gauge in the conveyance of heavy trains upon certain gradients, or that it is more economical. We have always understood it to be an ac•. knowledged fact, that one of the essential advantages of the broad gauge is its daily practice of running heavy first and second-class express trains at speeds which the narrow-gauge locomotive has never yet approached; and-we have always looked forward to the extension of the broad gauge to Birmingham as a public advantage, inasmuch as second-class passen gers, as well as first, will then enjoy the benefit of transit by express trains to and from Birmingham, a benefit which the London and North-Western cannot, from the inferior power and speed of their narrow gauge locomotives, confer upon railway passengers. We believe, from our own personal observations, that the recently-constructed broad-gauge engines will take a two-hundred ton trai❑ as fast as, it not faster, than any narrow-gauge engine can take a hundred ton train up or down the average gradients of the rail ways of this country, and tat they will do so at a much less comparative consumption of coke, and wear and tear of machinery. We also hear that the document in question eu logises the report of the Gauge Commissioners. We are almost inclined to be sceptical on this point, when we reflect upon the strange conclusions at which the Gauge Commissioners arrived, and the variance ex isting between those conclusions and numerous facts then evident, and which facts further experience has rendered notorious.—Morning Herald.

DoriAN, SUNDAY.—This day all the Confederate Clubs marched through the city to) Belvue, in the Liberty, where, in a large enclosed y ar d, t h ey h eld a meeting. Mr. DILLoN, barrister, presided. He told them their object was to protest, in the strongest language, against the conduct of the law officers of the Crown, in packing the juries in the late trials, and to caution them against adopting a similar course in the ease of Mr. Mitchel. The Learned Gentleman spoke in his usual violent strain in condemnation of the whole policy of England towards this country. Mr. O'GonstAN, jun., next addressed the meeting, and moved a resolution pledging them to use every moral means to punish all who should be concerned in the conviction of Mr. Mitchel by unfair means. Mr. CREAN said if any act of his could free this country from England ho would do it. The resolution passed. Mr. MEAGHER pledged himself to repeat all the offences with which the Crown counsel had charged him. Mr. MAGEE threatened vongence on judge, jury, and all concerned in the punishment of Mitchel. The CHAIRMAN objected to the strong language used by one of the orators. He said they did not advise vio lent incurs for the attainment of their liberties. Several voices cried out, " Leave that to ourselves," and the meeting appeared to condemn the hint at mo deration. THE CLUBS.--There were sixteen of thorn present, numbering about 3,500 well-dressed men; they marched home in good order. All the troops were under arms. One of the clubbists was arrested by the police fur giving the order to " march," to his company. COUNTER PROCLAMATIONS. The following proclamations were generally posted up last night, but shortly after daylight this morning few copies were to be seen in the city:— " The Council of the Irish Confederation to the People of Dublin. ` Fellow-Citizens,—Seeing the incentives which are daily applied to hurry you into fatal indiscretion, we dare not shrink from the duty of giving you that counsel which the interests of our cause demand. " Within the last few days very plain indications have bs.An given by the agents of the British Government in this city, of a desire to provoke you to a collision with the troops. On last night several thousand men were tinder arms in the University, and a strong body of police were sent out into the streets for the purpos e , as we conscientiously bdicve, of creating a riot and thereby furnishing the Government with a pretext for shedding your blood. " Follow-citizens,—Do you trust us? Do you deem us men, honest, bold, and prudent enough to advise you in these days of peril? If you do, hear us now. Under no circumstances suffer yourselves to be provoked into a collision at this moment. The game of the enemy is plain, and so is yours. Theirs is to hurry you into a fight when they are prepared, and you are not. Yours is to hide your time. The man who allows himself to be lel or provoked into a reckless and fatal course of action now frustrates the labour of years, and blasts the pros pects of the country. " Be sure that there are men amongst you the paid hirelings of the British Government, pressing you to an outbreak, and pouring incentives into your ears. Their object is to entrap you and lead you to your own ruin, and the ruin of the cause. Not for ourselves, fellow-citizens, but for that cause, we entreat you to disregard them and hear us. " By order, " THOMAS MATTHEW HALPIN, Sec. "Council-rooms, 9, D'Olier-street, May 20, 1848." Notice by the Council of the Irish Confederation:— " Whereas a notice has been issued by the poli ce authorities, prohibiting processions accompanied by crowds of persons shouting in a disorderly manner, and obstructing the public thoroughfares ; and whereas it may be erroneously supposed, in consequence of that TRIAL OF MR.

The weekly meeting of this body took place to-day, and was most wretchedly attended. Mr. John O'Con nell, Mr. J. H. Dunne, and Mr. J. Galway, were the principal parties present. The chair was occupied by Mr. Jourt FITZGERALD (the foreman in the late prosecution against the Member for Limerick), who informed the meeting that the second dissentient juror in that case was, he understood, a Protestant. Mr. O'CoNNELL then laid an abstract of the receipts and expenditure of the Loyal National Repeal Asso ciation, from last audit on the 31st of December, 1847, to the Ist of May, 1848, being four months, before the Association, and called on subscribers in arrear to p a y up. . - Alto- the transaction of some erdinary business, Mr. GALWAY gave notice of a motion for the next day of meeting, to call the attention of the Association to the conduct of the Crown in packing juries in the late prosecutions, and also the trials that aro about to take place. _ _ _ At half-past four o'clock the rent was announced to be 251. An accident, attended with fatal consequences, took place at twelve o'clock, on Saturday, on the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Railway, near Downdaniel Castle. Several men were employed in the excava tions in Mr. Spencer's ground, close to Blackrock Church, and had undermined a bank, the tup of which they did not take precautions to rem3ve. The consequence was, that the bank of earth gave way and fell on three of them, one of whom was killed on the spot, while the other two were so severely injured that slight hopes are entertained of their ultimate reco very. On Tuesday morning last a little girl came out of a gateway near Trummery, on the Ulster Railway, and while attempting to cross the line, was overtaken by the ten o'clock up train, which passed over her neck, and severed her head from the body. An inquest was held by Mr. Jackson, the coroner, and the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the engine-driver, who was committed fur trial. GREAT SOLITE/IE4N AND WESTE R N RAILWA Y.—The umpire appointed to decide betweru the Post•uflice and this railway, has awarded 22,0004 rs year for the car riage of the mails. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW STEAM-BASIN AT PORTSNIOUTII. The authorities at Portsmouth have commenced is. suing curds of admission to the booths to witness the in teresting proceeding on the Royal opening of the new steam-basin, to-morrow, by her most Gracious Majesty the Queen. On the reverse of the cards is a small plan of the basin, showing the urea of the basin to be seven acres ; the width across to be 400 feet ; and the length, at the extreme point, to be 900 feet ; and the depth of water, at spring tides, to be 26 feet six inches. The first booth is situated on the north side, at the corner of the north inlet, where the last stone of the work re mains to be placed ; the second booth is on the south boundary wall, where the brass foundries and the smithe ries are are erected ; the third booth ranges the whole length of the outer sea wall, or pier, on the left, leading from the entrance up to the first booth, and running the entire length of the western side of the basin, booths, tier above tier, from four to 21. On this side the factory the building is united, and behind it a timber shed and smithery. On the outer sea wall, on the western side of the basin, forming the entrance on the right, is the sa luting battery. Mr. Peter Rolt, the contractor, has also prepared cards of admission for his friends, on which are printed some very interesting details of the measure ments of the stone and wood which have been consumed in the construction of this massive work. A large number of hands are still employed in making preparations for the grand ceremony of opening. The outer pile dam, which was composed of large balks of timber dowelled and confined by string pieces and caulked, and which was placed across the entrance of the basin for the protection of the caisson while building, was re moved on Monday. Holes were cut through the balks, and three largo lighters were brought to the dam at low water and hove down to it. As the tide rose and lifted the vessels, the darn, after a tremen dous strain, was brought on the chains, lifted, and came up en masse. Yesterday the caisson was pumped out and removed, and the lighters brought to bear on the inner dam, which was removed in one mass, in a similar manner at high water, therefore the basin was full. On Monday evening the Dockyard Battalion was drawn up in double file round the margin of the basin, and occu pied nearly the whole four sides. The men will be drawn up in their uniform, in a similar manner, on the day of opening.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN HUNGERFORD MARKET. — Last night, about a quarter past eleven, a tire broke out in the eastern gallery of Hungerford -Market, in the Strand, which for nearly two hours burned with great vehemence, destroying in its progress a large amount of property. The flames commenced in the hay stores be longing to Mr: Milligan, immediately over a number of fishmongers' shops. The engines were early in arriving, and no time was lost in setting them to work; but not withstanding the immense torrents of water scattered over the fire, it continued to progress most fearfully, and having burned away the doors of the Dolphin Tavern, the total destructien of that spacious building appeared inevitable. The firemen, however, kept to their po s t e , and confined the flames to t h a t portion of the market in which they originated; but they were not extinguished until the whole of the stores from the northern tower to the Dolphin was totally destroyed, and the tavern seri ously damaged. The premises occupied severally by Mr. Dorey, Mr. Ball, Mr. Towel', Mr. Brown, Mr. Gil son, and Mr. Gould, immediately under Mr. Milligan's, have received serious inj ur y b y water, fire, and hasty removal. The origin of the fire is unknown; but from the tact of a fire having broken out in the same portion of the market a few days since, strong suspicion is en tertained that it was the work of some vile incendiary. The property destroyed, it is understood, was insured. Mr. B. Green's Shy lock. . • • • • • • • Stebbings. Lora Eglinton's Eagle's Plume • • Fobert. Marlow. Mr. T.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT.—Her Royal Highness, attended by the Lady Augusta Bruce and Sir George Cowper, left town yesterday morning by the South- Western Railway express train, at a quarter past ten, to pay a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert at the Isle of Wight. Her Royal Highness arrived at Gosport at half-past twelve, and was received in the naval yard there with all the honours usually paid to royalty. The naval Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Ogle, and the Governor, Lord Fitzelarence, also Captain Sir W.
