Al, HI Eltrh, DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. FIRE AT MANCHESTE R —On Saturday morning, a little after ten o'clock, a stack ot catton was discovered to be on fire in the spinning mill of Mr. W. Speakman. Brown-street, Salford. A - strange and exciting scene resulted from the panic which spread among the work people employed in the upper stories, who, alarmed by the sense volumes of smoke ascending from the third story, in which the fire took place, sought escape by tastening the leather straps together which gave motion to the machinery, and suspending them from the win dows. Others used c , rds not so thick as the little finger. One bey descended from the eighth story by a strap in this way, and on reaching the end found he had miscal culatQd the depth by two stories, and from this height no dropped to the ground, escaping, however, with the sprain of one ankle. We believe this was the m.iat se rious accident which rei;ul:ed, though, considering th , height, anti the small ap rtures in the windows through which the people gOt, it is surpri.ing The heads of , most people would turn 4id iy to look down from these_ indows. Mr. Spa diman ditioatchei tnesseugera for the Manchester and Salford fire engines, and the milt hgvit , g fireproof ihors, the fire was got, out without t3t ending beybod the room where it originated.

The•ohjeCt -of -this statement is to establish ing it, on s slis su p portin k pr i nc iples, to public purposes, the advantage s o f rewie i ng . t hi s building, and of apply ing combining th e i nstruction an d r ecreation of the peopleith the prom o ti on o f t h e arts , sciences, and manufac tures. Not only 4111 a 'great sacrifice of public property , oe thus avoid ,but a lasting benefit will be conferr e d upon the nation a t l arge. Two piin c i p al diffi cu l t i es h ave existed in the public mind'on the question of preserving the building. The fist is the supposition th a t, if retained, it must be at the " public expense, as private subscriptions would obviously prove inadequate for an-object of such magnitude. The size of the building, and th e neces sary cost of maintain ing, repairing, and rend er i ng it p erma n en t g rea tly magnify this objection, which exists in the minds of many persons sincerely desirous, on other grounds, that the building should be preserved. The second objection is that the non-removal would amount to a breach of faith with, and would bo a hasdship upon, the owners of property in the neighbourhood. It is necessary to meet both these objections. " It is proposed that the building be vested by Aet of Parliament in trustees, who shall hive powers of leasing it under certain conditions specified in the Act. It is also proposed that the trustees shall be so selected as to give the highest guarantee that sta tion canth country o afford ; a that t l e the building shall bo appropriated to no purposes nnworthy of the beautifulsite upon which it has been erected or 'of the associations of the greet Exhibttion. , -- " Taking it for granted th a t t h e fi rst difficulty exist ing in the 1010 mind may .be overcome as now sug gested, it is proposed to- meet the .second by buying up all the housepropertyla tile' nei g hbourhood said to be injured; aid- for Rtblx: , purposs, as I to as for - other sources of outlay connected w i th the building, sufficient capital will be provided under the te rm s of th e lease to be granted by the trustees. " Three modes of apprepriating, the 'Crystal Peace may be at present specified, with sufficient distinctness to show it is intended to combine the instruction and re creation of the people wish the advancement of the arts, sciences, and mnnufactureo. : " In the first, place,, a - portion of the space may be allotted to a Winter Garden, embellished with foontaies, statuary, geological specite sasi and a great variety of other interesting obj eta; " Another portion 'Might be'appreprie,ted for the re ception o' I:low•kivotatorip,. so d of 4 . in illustration of the cOricisseece 'or the.aoinstry•: - public;! and lecture mom s :and " Lastly, the building _might cOrttain a Gallery of tleie,site,setitentarfilraidyatisitvuetir6eniisswde d state of many of DssigolirprAe'protn )lieasoi taste among manufactur er s i Tiade Collectiii,' and wouldghr greatest a r p , • " It is telextravitint to e4ptct that a sufficient stun will be realised; to . fleet tbe redemption Of the building niinseums, which in a very short per d;: - I`t -.6 , ~ t-.., , receipts will be appliO, first, in providing t( 7,l l3e 7Maintoinan ce and repair of the buildisg, then it POi44 . tittorest on the_a3Pitia eXpended by the lessees, and the surplus partly in adelingje the works of art and other (h-,ph; + 04 . ;of intraction which the install:ion will 'cootoic, but th(t' greater part in forming a sinking fund for the purchase of the building by the trustees tor the , ' nation.. "No more is asked for;-in carrying out this' plan for the preservation of the 'Crystal' Palmeri, than has already been conceded to thiilisological and Botanical Societies in the Rev:l3'6 , par : 1 " Tfib' itlf-supporting principle upon which it is pro posed to effsct the preservation of the Palace is the hi h sanr4 suthavupon - v l .-,-0 the , 'Great 'Exhibition was so succeoslnlfY carried sent. NO'better proof can be given of the confidence felt in the tiounduess o f t h at pr i nci pl e than by mentioning 'the fact that some of the first capitalists in the country are ,prepared to guarantee the funds required upon the !sada of this statement, and to submit thdr guarantee to her Majesty's Government.

The deputation was headed by Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., and Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., Mr. George introduced the subject by stating that in 1847, through the county magistrates re-assessing the county, the as sessments were raised from 6,367,4561. to 7,792,1681., although, when the police were first established, it was intended by the Legislature that the then county assess meat should form the basis of the police rate. Mr. Neilson said that in St. James's parish the police rate was suddenly raised from 6,0001. to 10,5481., at the very time that they reduced the local expenditure from 47,0001. to 22.0001. He urged the blessings of free trade, which agreduced the pricy of the necessaries of life, as a strong reason for reducing the police rate. Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir B. Hall detailed and explained the unavailing , efforts made since 1847 to effect a reduction and a uni formity of the police rate over the whole metropolitan counties. They also charged the late Home Secretary with having broken faith with them in not reducing the _rate as he promised. Lord Dudley Stuart said that an experienced officer in the police force assured him that that force might be safely reduced 1.000 men. The Chief Commissioner of Police also admitted that a reduc tion from sixpence to fivepence ought to be made. The Home Secretary highly approved of a uniformity of rating, and, without pledging himself to any particular course, assured the several representatives of the different parishes that the subject woulffengage his most serious attention, and be would do all in his power to meet their wishes. TENANT-FARMERS AND THEIR "FRIENDS." (From the Derbyßeporter.) No one can look fairly at the state of agriculture for the last six years without feeling much sympathy with tenant-farmers. For many years, in conse quence of legislative interference, they received prices for their produce which were oppressive on the con sumers, and incurred in consequence some obloquy which they little deserved. But even with this assistance they were by no means a thriving class. Tax, tithe, rate, and rent ever trode close on the heels of ad vancing prices, and showed by no means the seine alacrity in following their downward course. Thi s has arisen , from the strong internal competition which affected the occupation of land sooner than other pursuits, for this reason, that a great deal of land in England is occupied for fashion, or for plea sure, or for convenience, or for some other reason than mere profit. If amateur hosiers bore the same proportion in their trade, which amateur graziers do in their pursuit, no doubt the making of stockings would yield as small a profit as the making of beef. But, as the case has stood for the last half century, if we take equal numbers of hosiers and farmers we shall find ten hosiers who have realized a retiring competence for one farmer; though the farmer sup• poses himself to have been for nearly the whole period the pet of the Legislature. And if we corns pare trade and agriculture in general, every large town will furnish more instances of the acquisition of large fortunes than the whole agriculture of Eng land can produce. The agriculturists have gene rally been engaged in politi c al strife, originally as aggressors, but of late years in vain attempts to maintain untenable positions. As every. position fell, the tenant-farmer has suffered. When the \ landed interest were beat out of 8 03 . a qua rter fors wheat, the tenant-farmer suffered; the same when they were driven from 653.; then from sGs.—and when they were finally reduced to the natural price. In no one of these instances were the charges on the tenant-farmer reduced in the proportion of the price of his produce. Strife and defeat are the necessary results of protection in a free country. Where there is no general pressure on the population protection may be maintained; but general pressure and protec tion cannot co-exist in a free country. The tenant farmers have been loyal to those who aspired to be their leaders, and professed to be their friends. They have been docile to their own injury. A retrospect over ten years will show them nothing but vain boastings, bad advice, delusive promises, and disappointed hopes. They were called on to exert themselves, under the assurance that the sliding scale should be maintained. And they did exert themselves, and as they were told, with honour and glorious success ; but the scale slid from under their feet. They were told to reject with scorn a duty of Bs. on wheat, and they did re ject it; and they have been told since to sue humbly for a duty of 55., and they know that they shall sue unsuccessfully. They were told that to talk of a reduction of rent was absurd, for that they could not cultivate to profit even if they paid no rent ; and they now know that to that source more than to any other they must look for relief. They were told that relief to arise from a' reduction of rates, or from a remission of taxation, was quite beneath their notice; protection, and protection alone, could be of any avail. And now every county Member who addresses his constituents as a supporter of Lord Derby's Government, tells them that they must give up the idea of protection, and that some un defined and unexplained relief is to arise from these very sources which were so much derided, But they are to confide in Lord Derby's Government. Con fide ! Why ? Is it because these are the very men, the very party, who have deceived and deluded, even if they had not betrayed. them. Let the tenant farmers remember that though the struggle for pro tection has been a losing game for them, it has suited these gentlemen admirably. Many a man now enjoys place and power and rank who in the ordinury course of Parliamentary service could not have at tained to them, and who has only attained to them now by bawling for protection, and deserting it when it had served his turn. Toe tenant-formers deserted Sir R. Peel because they thought that he had betrayed them; but at least ho spoke out and defended what they supposed to be his treason ; but' they are now told to confide in miserable sneak ing traitors, who won't speak at all. Probably agriculturists are beginning to discover that their in , terests have been miserably managed in the House of Commons ; and the truth is, that where their interests clash with those of other classes, they fail to obtain bare justice on account of the quality of their representatives. Trading constituencies choose their Members simply on account of their ability, activity, and industry : men whose voices are heard in every debate; whose names are seen in every division: men, provincial perhaps in their manners and in their'dialect, but who • thoroughly understand the interests which they represent, are able to com municate information, and have consequently the ear of the House of Commons. Two-thirds of the representatives of agricultural constituencies are mere dilettanti legislators ; seen much more regu larly in the hunting field and in the Opera House than on the benches of the House of Commons: men chosen on account of their possessions, or on account of their connexions, or even sometimes on account of their mediocrity; men whose voices the House neither knows nor desires to know. We are inclined to hope that many landlords will not endea vour to coerce their tenants at the coming elections, some from good principle and feeling, and some be cause the practice iejustly regarded with increasing odium. The advice which we would tender to tenant-farmers is not to place a blind confidence in an Administration which shrouds itself in a mist : not to commit their interest to a class of men who have proved utterly incompetent to their protection.; but to follow 'the example of the trading and manu facturing classes, and to select as their representatives men of ability, knowledge, and industry; men who h_ shall not be ashamed to speak with their ene . m o tur i: the gate. They will then assure for the agric is interest equal justice and equal privileges, which all that it ought to desire. INFANTICIDE IN SPITALFIELDS.--On Friday fore noon an inquest, adjourned from' Wednesday last, was street re sumed before Mr. Baker, at the Ten Bells, Church-, Spitaifields, on view of the body of a newly born male infa 2 2 nt, a ret W hitman, aged the illegitimate 'offspring of Mar g , a single woman, who is in the female workhouse of Whit chapel Union, in the custody of the police. The mother of the accused, who resides at No. 38, Dorset-street, Spitai_ fields, was on Tuesday last charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt at the Worship street Police-court, with the murder of the deceased, but there was not sufficient evidence to implicate her, and she was discharged. Additional evidence was given yesterday, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murkier against Margaret Whitman. The coroner issued his warrant for the committal of the accused, and the witnesses were bound over to prolecute.

AMERICAN NEWS. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 25. The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain J. D. Lines, arrived off Covves at 7 o'clock this morning, and, after landing the English mails, proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Humboldt brought 55 passengers, a few only of whom were for Southampton. Her long passage is owing almost to the constant head winds that have been encountered, and the bad quality of the coal. Off the Scilly Islands the Humboldt exchanged sig nals with the packet-ship William Tell, from New York, bound to Myra. The British and North American Royal mail steamer Africa reached New York on the 7th inst. No exciting political intelligence had transpired since the sailing of the Europa. -• The Whig Members of the New York Legisla ture have nominated General Scott for the Presi dency, and the Missouri State Democratic Conven tion have expressed a preference for General Cass. The State general election in Rhode Island has gone for the Whigs, with the exception that the present Democratic Governor has been re-elected. Another awful steam-boat explosion took place on the 19th inst., at Lexington. Missouri. The Saluda burst her boilers, killing 100 passengers (Mormons), on their way to the Salt Lake. We hate advicea from Guatemala to the 6th of March, but they are without interest. Advices from St. Jago (Cuba) to the 6th of March state that the authorities there are still so apprehen sive of another invasion that they keep three armed vessels cruising along their shores. Dates from Salvador, Central America, to the 6th of March, state that Senor Duenas, the newly-elected President, took possession of Executive power on the Ist of March. Nicaragua was tranquil. Nothing further had been heard of Munos. We have advicea from Rio Janeiro to the 6th of March. The Rio Jornal do Commercio of the 28th of February contains nothing of the affairs of La Plata. Trade, however, had been opened between Buenos Ayres and Rio, M. Carvaiho Mercina, new Minister from Brazil to the United States, was to leave soon. Coffee was improving. The sales of flour for February were 20;000 barrels. Kossuth arrived at Charleston on the 9th instant, but no enthusiasm was shown by the populace. A great flood had occurred in Texas, doing a vast amount of damage. An unbroken chain of telegraphic communication between New York and New Or leans was completed on the 9th inst. The New York Times of the 10th on this subject says : " Last evening the New Orleans telegraph operators had a chat for the first time, wiro to wire, with their contemporaries in Hanover. street. New York dispatches were forwarded, and answers received from New Orleans dated one hour after they were received. Thus a mes sage started from this office, traversed 3,000 miles, and arrived at its destiniticn sixty minutes before it st ar t e d. " COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, APRIL to. The upward tendency noticed for weeks past continues in our Stock-market. All descriptions of stocks and se curities are in good demand, speculation is very a c ti ve , and the daily transactions to a very large extent. Large orders from Europe are received by every steamer, particularly for railroad bonds, which have for more than a year past been freely taken for the con tinent, but only since a short time to any extent for England. Bonds of several of the leading Western railroad companies, which within six months were nego tiated below 90 per cent., are now entirely out of the market, or only to be found in limited quantities at or above par. Preference is always given to bonds con vertible into stock. Real estate partakes of this movement —prices ad vance and rents are rising. Money remains very easy at from five to six per cent. Exchange is declining, exports of specie topped —the expectations from California very flattering. All these causes combined inspire much confidence, specula tors are most sanguine and calculate on a prolonged state of prosperity. Should anything unfavourable turn up, the check will be very severe, but at present very few take such an eventuality into consideration. Trade in general is not very good; the accounts about our staples, cottons and breadstuffs, are far from flatter ing, and merchants complain of dull times. Exchange% have given way. The supply of bills, owing to the late large shipments of produce and foreign orders for stocks, presses on the market, although the demand is to a fair extent. , _ . We quote on London from 104 to 1091; on Paris, 5F.20e, to SF. 22 C. Freights—Engagements were irregular.

The increase this season in the receipts of cotton at this port over the corresponding period last year is 329,000 bales. The exports of cotton to-day have been large, amounting to 25,600 bales, mostly to Liverpool. Ct{ARLESTON, THURSDAY, APRIL 8. Cotton sales to-day, 1,000 bales, market closing firm, and prices showing an improvement of ic. on some quali ties. The week's sales have been 12,000 bales, and the receipts 9,350. The stock on hand, exclusive of that on ship board, is 45,825 bales. NORFOLK, THURSDAY, APRIL 8. We have no change to note in our market.

Already a large number of the items of the estimate have been gone through; and while no one ' can accuse the members of squandering the revenues se their command, so neither can they ba found fault with as yet on the ground of mischievous parsimony.

The weather during the fornight preceding the de parture of the packet bad been showery and favour able for the planters—not less than 11,048 hogsheads of sugar were exported between the Ist of January and the 10th inst., being 4,552 hogsheads in excess of the quantity exported during the corresponding period of 1851. Toe weather, though fine for agri cultural purposes, has been very sickly, and many have been the victims of fever in its various fatal forms since the commencement of the year. AN - not:A.—The weather continues painfully dry, and the crops are consequently suffering greatly. Strong_ breezes have prevailed of late, and sugar making is progressing as - favourably as the labour market will permit. JAMAICA MARKETS. A very general inactivity has been the prevailing fea ture of our market during the past fortnight. No spe culative inquiry whatever has been manifested, and the operations of the trade, confined almost exclusively to the supply of their immediate wants, were restricted and unimportant. Supplies of imported goods are, for the most part, on a moderate scale, but holders have failed to derive any advantage from the circumstance in the present depressed condition of the market. Sugar and rum share very largely in the prevailing i nactivity. But few purchases are being made fer ex portation; the current low rates, for the former articles especially, in the home markets, deterring dealers from. speculating.
