A PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION for the Benefit of Mr. CHARLES HUNT, the original projector and founder of the Commercial Gas light and Coke Company, in 1831. Mr. Hunt having done a public good, and been the means of re diming the price of Gas to consumers throughout the Metropolis from 9s. per thousand cubic feet to 6s. per thousand cubic feet, therefore doing away with the long-existing monopoly, and in removing other grievances, front his exertions the Gas consumers are now enjoying the benefits. A meeting of the Gas consumers and others of the metropolis has bt en held at Mr. Stabbing's, Blue Anchor Tavern, Stepney, for the purpose of taking into consid.ration the strong claims of M , . Charles limit, the oi iginal projector viol founder of the Commercial Gas light and Coke Company in 1836, it was unanimously resolved : That Mr. Hunt being the original projector of the Company, and through his exertions the price of Gas has been greatly reduced, and having established his ealms by the production of manuscript and printed documents, where'..y Mr. Hunt and his infant family has been reduced to a state of great poverty in consequence of his long and severe illness, also his late acciden', a Public Subscription for the benefit of himself - and family be immediately entered into. Through his making the reduction in the price of Gas, he has been out of employ for Six Yeats. A Committee was formed to carry out the objects of the meeting, and Mr. Robertson, of the Queen Catherine, Ratcliffe, and Mr. Stet.- bings, of the Blue Anchor Tavern , Step ne y , were appointed Trea surers. Mr. Hunt has strong claims on the gratitude of the Gas consumers of the metropolis, who are now paying only one-half the original price of Gas. Subscriptions received by the Treasurers, Mr. Robertson, Queen Catherine, Ratcliffe, and Mr. Stebbings, Blue Anchor Tavern, Stepney. ,Copy of a Letter to Mr. Chas. Hunt, from J. 11. Pollock, Esq., Solicitor to the Company when it was first formed. (Published by Permission.) 4, Sambrook-court, Basinghall-street, July 9, 1842. Sett,—l have received your letter of yesterday's date, and have no he .itation in answer, to state that you were the projector of the Commercial Gas-light and Coke Comeany ; having consulted me sonic time previous to its formation, with a view to my seeing the gentlemen, who afterwards became the original directors; and to enable me to do this, you famished me with a series of calcula tions, accompanied by plans of the district, and an estimate of the outlay and rental, as the basis on which the Company should be es tablished. After m e isolation to Messrs. Goldie, Lamont, Henry, ' Ileathora, , therElt was decided that yotrshouletirrn , ' cure a requisien from the inhabitants, being Gas consumers in the • district, which you succeeded in doing, signed by a very large num ber, for about 11,0001. rental, before the project was entertained, • which document, I believe, is in existence ; and in contemplation of au Act of Parliament, you posted all the usual notices, and rendered an account from which the Committee deducted sums actually paid by you. The prospectus first issued was prepared by you, subjected to .everal alterations by different director s, and I have pleasure in hearing testimony to your zealous and indefatigable conduct in the sale of shares, the subscriptions on which you duly accounted for to ' me, and generally in promoting the objects of the Company ; your accounts were audited by a Committee appointed by the directors, some of the present directors being then in office, viz, :—Mr. Butler, Mr. Lecesne, and also Mr. Goldie and Mr. Lamont ; they were ap proved by such Committee, subsequent to their deduction, which de ductions I consider improper, because they were actual payments ; Independently 01 which, you posted all the original bills, advertising the formation of the Company, and distributed prospectuses in the district, to the extent of 8.000 at least, for doing which I know, per sonally, that you were at an expense which was not charged by you to the Company. I regret that circumstances should have rendered it necessary for you to apply to me, as although I may be the only person willing to vouch to the above facts, nevertheless the directors above-mentioned, I am sure, will not tail to bear testimony to r.ll which I have stated. I am, Sir, yours obedienly, (Signed) J. 11. roLLocK. To Mr. Chas. Hunt, 18, Upper John-street, Stepney, P. ()lector of the Commercial Gas-light and Coke Company. P.S. I can feel no hesitation in personally coming forward to state the above facts, should it be (which I trust it may not be) necessary. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 4.

The Cambria's intelligence had but little effect udon the markets. Indian corn was depressed, however. The money market was firm, though money was not abundant. Bills of exchange on London dull. The grain harvest was over, and turns out abundant. The meetings in connexion with the Irish movement in America were going on with more intensity than ever, and the most 'exaggerated reports were in circulation respecting the success of the rebels. As a proof of this, the correspondent of the Tribune has it that at the affair at Slievena mon the people had a great victory—General Mac donald was killed, and six thousand of the British troops were killed and wounded. Three miles of the road were said to have been covered with dead. Kil kenny and Limerick were taken by the people. The citizens of Dublin went in thousands to assist the patriots; Dillon and Meagher were wounded, and it was expected that Dublin would rise and attack the gaols on Sunday (August 6). Not only this, but the Tribune's correspond ‘o t gravely . adds : ' f rtre - 31 — BLIffsr — rtitriat `and — fought with the people. All the people on the railroad were cautioned and commanded not to tell the news ; and the police drove away those who asked questions." It is no cause of wonder that with such stirring intelligence an additional impetus should have been given to the agitation, and the coffers are said to have been very largely replenished. The intelligence received from Mexico advises us that Congress had resumed its sittings in the capital. From New Orleans we learn that the revolution had been suppressed, the Indians disarmed, and all pri soners discharged upon pledging themselves to sup• port the Government. Paredes was still concealed. Some of his partisans had been captured. Another revolution had taken place at Mazatlan. Most of the Americans who remained in Mexico have gone to Yucatan to aid in subduing the refractory Indians. The United States and Canadian press are not pulling very cordially together just now, the sym pathy manifested by the former for the Irish insur gents having stirred the ire of the latter, who vent their anger very unreservedly. It is but a few weeks since they were "soaping" each other, in order to promote a free trade measure. The commercial news is very scanty. E xc h ange stood at 109 to 1091. In cotton the market was quiet, and nothing of importance was doing. In flour the receipts were light, though the market was firm. Corn was heavy, and wheat without change. FARES REDUCED TO ANTWERP.

The Albany papers are filled with accounts of a disastrous conflagration which took place in that city on the 17th ult. \Ve are indebted to Capt. Gorham, of the steamboat llendrik Hudson, for Albany papers delivered at an early hour on Friday afternoon. The Albany Express gives the following account of the disaster : We scarcely know how to describe the fearful cala mity that has befallen our doomed city. It is beyond adequate description beyond, at the time we write, intelligible detail. Soon after a fire was checked that broke out in Quackenbush-street, just before noon, the alarm was again sounded, and fire broke out in a small stable adjoining the Albion House, between Broadway and the Pier on Herkimer-street, and occupied by John G. White. Of its origin we know nothing; but it burst forth at a most unlucky moment. The fire department was weary, scattered, and disorgan ised. Some of the machines were disabled, and, in con sequence of a shameful fight, one of them—No. 9, we believe, was lodged in the City-hall-yard, and unmanned, in the moment of danger. The beat was intense, the mercury ranging at 91 in the shade, the city dry as tin der in consequence of the drought, and a gale of wind blowing from the south. Everything conspired against us; and the destroying element immediately getting the upper hand, raged awfully and unchecked for hours, sweeping away fully 600 buildings, many of them new, and of great value, destroying about 2,000,000 of dollars worth of property, and rendering hundreds of families homeless and homeless. Truly, this calamity is an awful one ; but God be praised that it is no worse ! At one time it see med as if the destruction of our city was inevitable. The wind hl• w fiercely, the flames spread on all sides, the devour ing element advanced from block to block, and from street to street. Buildings were taking fire in several parts of the city. All was terror, confusion , and dis may, and the efforts of man seemed utterly power less. At this fearful moment the wind lulled, heavy clouds rose in tho north-west, and a deluge of rain— grateful, needed, God-sent rain—poured from the sur charged clouds, and checked the progress of the confla gration. Amid the roar, darkness, lightning and thunder of the :Aorta, glared the red flames and rolled the vast columns of smoke, while occasionally the shock of a building blown up with gunpowder, added to the terror and sublimity of the indescribable scene. The fury and spread of the flames exceeded anything eyer seen. The fire ran, leaped, flew from building to building, with the speed of the hurricane. that bore it on in its course of destruction. And as it ad vanced, and grew more and more threatening, the belle resounded the alarm, and the people looked on with terror and almost with despair. There were many nar row escapes from death, and some serious personal in juries sustained. Among the latter, William Johnson, his wife, and daughter, were badly burnt w hile escaping from their dwelling, 53, Liberty-street. Albany has never before, in her 200 years' history, suffered so dreadful a local calamity as this. The first block burnt was bounded by Herkimer street, Broadway, Bleecker-street, and the dock. The fire then went up the dock and the east side of Broadway, nearly to Hudson-street, and up the west side of Broad way quite to Hudson - street. It passed up Hudson-street to the Park, burnt both sides of Liberty and Church-streets, down to Lydius-street, went up Lydius to Union-street, and up the east side. of Union back to Hudson-street Park. Over this large district every building is consumed, p g t roan and Cowell's four-story brick, corner of broadway, and the new steam - boat landing; Bortl e's new three story brick grocery store, west side of Broad i”y, and exce liee adjoining the district burnt in June; J. K. Wing s four • story brick store, corner of dock and new steam -boat landing; Cagget's new three-story brick b u ildings, run ning from the dock to Broadway, and occupied in part by Tweddle and Darlington. All the rest are down, in cluding the Fort Orange Hotel, Cowell's eating-house, Quin's tavern and boarding-house, the United States House, the Eagle Tavern, a German hoarding-house, the Townsend House, the Odeon, many sm all boardi ng •>e ..„ crossed, and burnt the Hamilton - st reet • bridge, and s e t on fire Dow's Western Hotel , the first building on the pier. From this point every buildin g on the p ier, u p to and across State-street, an d thence t o the c ut at the foo t of f hotels,Maiden forwarding l an wha s ous d es e , st g ro r y oc e e d r , ies i i nc a l t n eara dtn . g boat emigrant , canal boat, and freighting line offices, and all the floating craft in the Basin, including 50 to 60 canal and l a k e b oats, 15 to 20 largo tow-boats, some sail vessels, and the steam. boat William Seymour. Burning vessels floated against the Columbia-street bridge, and set it on fire. Thence the fire was communi cated to the Columbia-street Market, which wa s b urne d, together with a number of buildings in the v i c i e i ty. The exact bounds of the district burnt in this quarter we have not been able to obtain. Vessels of all kinds on the outside of the pier floated out of harm's way. The loss of household goods of all kinds is immense. G re at quantities that were strewed in the str ee t s were ruined by the rain. Carts, waggons, drays—everything on w h ee l s — were in constant requisition, but could not ac comp li sh a tent h part of the work required. Five, ten, and twenty do ll ars wer e offered for carrying . a single load. There was nothing like organization of effort. The authorities, the fire department, and the citizens were scattered, isolated, and acted too much without concert. Still much was done. Almost superhuman personal efforts were put forth, and thousands of citizens worked ith all their might. Our firemen, under the circumstances, did all they could. We received timely and valuable aid from East and West Troy, Greenbush, and Schenectady. Numbers of persons were re ndered powerless by h eat, fat i gue, and cold water. Buildings, sheds, &c. , took fire re peatedly as far north as Wilson and Lumber-streets. The whole city was in danger. Mr. J. Smith's Free Soil Banner office and James Duffy's job printing-office were burnt. At At one time the offices o f the Atlas, K nickerbock er , an d Express, as well as Van Benthuysen's and Munsell's ex tensive printing establishments, were threatened with destruction. Thousands of citizens packed up their goods, furniture, &c., and the stores were e verywhere closed. A number of buildings werebloyen up und er th e direc tion of the authorities in the vicinity of Hudson-street. It is impossible at the time we write to ge t at any cor rect estimate of the loss sustained, or the condition of the insurance companies. Our Albany companies have suffered terribly. Irelividual losses must be very great, and there will be touch distress and suffering. It will be a lo ng ti me b e f o re Albany rill recover from this awful calamity.

Man and his Maker alike condemn that which " yields no fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason that caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. This curse cline to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth famine. But thiajnaledietion breathes loudest and deepest into the ear 01 those of the liuma.* race who remain childless in a community which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only do such encounter the Silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home. It is a remarkable fact that the uuproduetiveness of soil and species arises from similarity of cause. Sonic lands are the produce of vitiated strata - that yields an offspring as unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the pois , m of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Sonic soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Murk the ana logy! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and overtasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his f7ame ; mil, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his orga , sization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now removable through the profound) discoveries In physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently beets produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith•street, Soho-square, London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plaia Directions for: its Perfect Re storation ;" and is sent by W. STRANGE, bookseller, 21, Pater noster-row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope, by inital or to any address, for 2s. 6d. in postage stamps, secure from observation. ---- A. 52, Fleet-street.

A. number of sportsmen, like " birds of a feather," 0 ,,", day after shooting, were di nin g together, And I needn't to say they were all rather merry, buck they sat a fter dinner, enjoying their sher r y . :ncli indeed was the case, and in style did they go on, With toasts and with anecdotes, dittlei , and so on. how one of the company happened to be quick-witted gentleman, something like me ; And the host said he trusted it would nee d no p ersuasion, ,",, he asked for a song on the very occasion. So the poet requested a writing utensil, And at once set to work with his paper and pencil, And in five or ten minutes, or hardly so long, The sportsman produced AN ORIGINAL SONG. The warrior bold, in days of old, Might sing of his sword and his shield ; But the man of the sport, would sing as he ought, Of the Coat that ho wears in the field. See, see.

TO VIE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1516. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berough, takes this oppor canny of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herb:try, High ,-,-ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having cont pletely restored the hai ron her head, after using itabont four mouths, and the 'whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than !ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.': Regenator, feeling, assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11s. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ince, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far )eyolicl any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any imly of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Ilerough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w drops on the crown of the head occasiona b, ally, every we it ek, will,re vent the hair Irons com ing away with thestrong and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to tho toilet. In cases of nevous headache, po t ur tea or twelve drops on the erown of t he head ; if very bad, repea it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minut It es. used It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications.on infonts' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes a t n o dilatrame, e, a re productive of greater se verit y of raiiery to the hum f hay any other to which it is subiect. This work contains an accurate and completeaccount of the A na tomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Oargans, 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 unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired ht early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering fro their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap- pst lying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the eauses of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi. possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'3IERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Most of the boats were heavily laden. We regret to learn that several lives have been lost. Two men were drowned in the basin, near the foot of Maiden-lane. Tbey were floating on a raft, and in the midst of the conflagration fell off and sunk. The owner of the steam-boat William Seymour, Benjamin Wake man, is missing. A man named Hardely, an Irishman, died from over exertion. A man named Johnson, and several others, are missing. Soma 8,000 or 10,000 barrels of flour were burnt on the pier. The loss of property in the basin was immense. The loss is roughly estimated at two millions of dollars. We fear our local insurance companies are overwhelmed. The property on the pier was insured abroad. The Swiftsure and Eckford Towboat lines lose tremendously. Hundreds of our business men are utterly ruined. Four buildings were blown up with powder. At midnight the fire was burning in forty places, but it is completely under control. There is nu wind, and the rain has ceased. _ _ The Argus says:—No estimate of the value of pro perty is yet attainable. We hear of two forwarding lines that estimate property under their charge to the amount of 90,000 dolls., all consumed. Another line suffers to an amount of from 60,000 dolls. to 80,000 dolls. The loss of flour afloat, and in store, is not less than 10,000 barrels. The urea of the fire embrace.; many acres, perhaps fifty or sixty, of the most compact and valuable part of the city. It includes at least twenty squares. Amidst the ruins which everywhere meet the eye, it is difficult to trace the outlines of the former state of things ; but those familiar with the city will perceive the ex tent of this most calamitous visitation, by a few ge neralities. Broadway, from the interseetion of Herkimer, to the south corner of Hudson-street, on the west side and to Van Schatick's variety store, on the east side, nearly half a mile, is, with all its structures and stores, including the Eagle Tavern, the Townsend House, and the United States Ibtel, level with the earth. From Broadway to the river, including the ranges of lofty stores on Quay-street, throughout nearly the entire space above mentioned, all is a heap of ruins. All the cross streets entering Broadway, Herkimer, Bleecker, Lyditui, Hamilton, Division and Hudson, west as farUniun and Dallies-streets, are swept away. Amaz ing effort preserved Gcold's great carriage and coach establishment ; everything on the surrounding streets being demolished. North, the flying cinders, with which the air was filled, caught the Columbia-street market, and of that large structure nothing remains. The adjacent buildings were saved by the prompt efforts of the two Schenectady fire companies. But the scene of the most striking and absolute desolation is the pier. Scarcely a vestige of it remains. Throughout its entire length, from Hamilton street to the cut opposite the Boston depot, it is utterly consumed, including the wharves, warehouses, nearly all the shipping in the basin, and outside the pier, tow boats, barges, canal boats, huge floating warehouse arks, eith all their valuable and vast contents of goods and products, the three bridges at Columbia, State, and Ha milton-streets, lumber yards, flour stores, in short, everything that floated or teemed with life and value in that great mart yesterday morning. The scene in State-street beggars all description. Thousands, flying from the conflagration, pressed every conceivable vehicle into their service, depositing goods, furniture, families, children, everything animate and inanimate. Every point in that wide street, —at the Exchange, at the City Bank, at the corners of all the intersecting streets, in front of St. Peter's Church, all along the Parks, and finally at the State Hall and City Hall—were crowded with bales, boxes, furniture, goods of every description, &c. No point was deemed too remote from the de vouring element. The stores everywhere were closed, or were only opened to the flying citizens and their effects. Two buildings were blown up, in the hope of arrest ing the progress of the fire—one, belonging to Mr. J. I. Boyd, in Broadway, and the other to Mr. John Knower, corner of Hudson and Liberty streets, but with little effect. All the insurance companies suffer largely, if not ru inously. Among the shipping destroyed was the schooner Cotuit, of Boston, arrived yesterday morning, and the schooner Eliz i Matilda, also of Boston, seriously da maged. Some 20 vessels below the Basin were hastily drawn out in the river and preserved. The Isaac New ton and '.Rip Van Winkle steamers were :also rescued with much difficulty. ADDITION AL PARTICULARS. (From the Albany Journal, Aug. IS.) Fire, though a good servant, is indeed a fearful mas ter. And fearfully did this mad element rage yester day. Our city is desolate! The ruin is appalling! The spirit sinks and the heart sickens in contemplating such frightful losses —such wide-spread ruin. Painful, most painful, is the task of gathering up the afflicting details. Most of the commercial portion of the city, with fifteen or twenty densely populated squares, is a black and smouldering ruin. From Herkimer-street, where the fire broke out, to Colnrnbia-street, where it was arrested, in distance, is more than half a mile! And all that work of destruction was accomplished in five hours. There could, therefore, have been little time to snatch property from the rapacious flames. Amid all this suffereng, there is much cause for grati tude. When the conflagration was at its height—when more than half the city was threatened, and when no human arm could save, a kind Providence interposed ! 'rho wind suddenly changed from south to north-west, and this change brought with it abundant and continued rain. Fires that had extended to several buildings in the vicinity of the burnt district, were providentially ex tinguished by the rain. This great loss, superaddod to the large sums swal lowed up during the winter and spring, by kindred ca lamities, has impaired the fortunes of wealthy people, impoverished hundreds of the middling class, and utterly ruined hundreds of poor hard-working families. The fire ran over portions of the city that had been laid waste by recent conflagrations, and upon which new buildings had recently been finished. The Columbian Hotel and Fort Orange are again demolished. Mr. S. F. Shepard, who had erected new buildings and resumed business, is again burnt out. We are happy to learn, however, that he saved about two thousand dollars' worth of goods. The steam-boats Isaac Newton and Rip Van Winkle were both on fire, but were got off into the river and pre served. Eleven tow-boats, between forty and sixty canal boats, ono small steam-boat, one schooner, and two floats, were destroyed, This disastrous fire originated in the stable of Mr. Callaghan, which adjoins that of Mr. Johnson. It is not known how it originated. The ruins cover an area of 200 acres, every foot of which was densely covered with buildings. There were more buildings upon it than upon any other equal space in the city. Four-fifths of the buildidgs burned were brick, must of them large and substantial, and many of them three or four stories in height. Until five o'clock it was feared that the flames could not be checked south of State-street ; but about this hour the wind changed to the north, and gave new hope to those ready to despair. But while this change of wind was of great service in the heart of the town, it proved expensive to the pro. perty on the south of Lydius-street, between l)allius and Broadway, and Lydius and Herkimer. All the property within these boundaries was destroyed after the wind changed. No fears of its destruction were en- tertained previously. There have been several lives lost. Mr. Johnson, clauehter, and Grand-child, --t t. thN Loluinbian, were horribly burzud. 'The child and Mr. J. are dead; the others are not expected to recover. \Ve have rumours of other deaths ; but cannot trace them. The firemen did as well as they could; but it seemed impotent to attempt anything against the fury of the flames; no human power could stay them. Our neigh bours from Greenbush, West Troy, and Troy, came to the assistance of our firemen, and did efficient service. At one o'clock, A.m., the wooden buildings on fire in Union-street looked threatening, and the alarm was sounded. At this moment the Cohoes Engine Company came into the city, having left their village at nine o'clock—dragging - their engine all the way by hand. They at once proceeded to the place of alarm, and by their timely aid the fire was checked. When it was ascertained that the engines were unable to cope with the flames, it was determined to blow up some buildings in Hudson-street, and Broadway. Capt. Stone, of the Ordnance Department, and now stationed at the Arsenal, volunteered his services, and three build ings were blown up, and the flames thus kept on the south side of Hudson-street. Not more than four or five buildings are left standing between Herkimer and Hamilton and Union streets and the river. The desolation is complete. Mr. Akin's buildings, south of Herkimer-street and near Dallius• street, are badly scorched ; but nothing was burned south of that line. scene on the placid and tranquil water still more sublime than on land. The shrill cries of the respec tive commanders of the menaced vessels, the long, continuous, and savage howls of the mariners and sailors, in their endeavour to draw their crafts from the theatre of the conflagration, all tended to impress the spectator with the grandeur of the dreadful cala mity that had befallen the city of Constantinople. Towards nine o'clock the fire had spread out in an awful manner. In one direction it was travelling at a rapid rate towards the Calmoumjilar, in another towards the Uzun Charski, whilst on the other it was raging at the Odun Kapoussi. Notwithstand ing great efforts were made to prevent its spread ing towards the bill, which gradually rises until it' reaches the crest, on which stands the Mosque of Suleymanieh, and close to that the palaces of several vizirs, the Sheik-ul Islam Kappous , i (Porte of the Ulemas), an I other extensive public and private buildings, with their hanging gardens and kiosks, it was all of no avail. The houies were destroyed one after the other. The flames rushed up the walls, and stood like pyramids of fire in the air. At length, at about eleven o'clock, the pinnacle of one of the minarets of Suleymanieh, on the extreme height, and fully one mile from the scene of destruction, caught fire. A singular spectacle indeed it was, to see this airy meteor burning and blazing away, whilst the flames in a vast body kept beating like waves against the angle of the Sheik-ul Islam's palace, after having destroyed, in rapid succession, all the intervening buildings. At about midnight it had reached Baluk Bazaar, in the im mediate neighbourhood of the new bridge, and great anxiety was entertained respecting the Drug Bazaar, which is a splendid building, well known to tourists who visit this city. In the opposite direction it had reached the Skemnegelar, and was proceeding at a rapid rate towards the Oun Kapan. The efforts made by the Turks to extinguish the fire were useless; they everywhere ceased, and were mostly employed in pulling down buildings. 'With the poor inhabi tants it was a general sauve qui peut ; indeed, many were so surrounded by the flames as to be unable to escape, and were burned to death. Near Oun Kapan a dreadful destruction of life occurred, and it is said that upwards of twenty persons have perished. At two o'clock in the morning the fire had sensibly abated in its violence for want of fuel to aliment it, and at about half-past three no more danger was anticipated. The fire has consumed, according to a detailed estimate, about 2,500 shops and 500 houses ; about 40 of the latter were splendid palaces belonging to the Sheik-ul- Islam, Moustapha Pasha, Said Pasha, Irret Pasha, Hassan Pasha, and others. The general loss is calculated at averaging from 2,000,0001. to 4,000,000/. sterling, but some have carried it to 5,000,000/. We should state it at, approximately, about 2,500,000/. To account for this great loss, it must be care fully understood that vast depositaries of merchan dise were kept there, besides whole bazaars of oil, fruit, wax, rice, spices, tallow, coffee, sponges, &c., as well as the establishments of the knife-grinders, wholesale grocers, nut sellers, &c. In addition to these must be noted nineteen khans, seven mosques, four baths, two public granaries, 15,000 barrels of rice belonging to the Pasha of Egypt, a Government steam mill and seventeen vessels, and among the rest an Austrian and Russian vessel, &c. This fire ex ceeds that of Pera, two months back, not only in the extent, but in the value of the objects destroyed. Here people are positively ruined, as their all was there. A fearful night of havoc indeed it was. The Sultan went incognito to the scene of destruction, and subsequently took up his position in a steamer in the arsenal. The alarm guns have just been fired, and it is said that a serious conflagration has broken out at Kara , gmairuk, towards the Seven Towers. DREADFUL FIRE. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 19.—0 n Wednesday last, towards seven in the evening, a most lamentable fire broke out in Yemish Iskrlessi (dried fruit bazaar), situated between the two bridges. The intensity of the conflagration acquired such force, on account of the surrounding inflammable matter, that in a short quarter of an hour it had extended itself in a fearful manner. In the immediate neighbourhood of the fruit bazaar was the Yagh Kapan, or oil depot, theli magazines and warehouses being well stocked with this inflammable matter; on the other side, towards the arsenal, was an immense timber-yard, the greatest in the city, a quarter of a mile in length, 100 feet in height, and 500 in breadth. By eight o'clock both these places were invaded by the flames. When the whole lino of sphere on which the timber was piled was one blazing sheet of flame, the appearance was that of one burning mass oft liquefied gold. What was still more grievous was, hat a compact mass of shipping was moored opposite this spot, and the roasting of several Turkish vessels, laden with oil, wheat, and timber, soon took are, And rendered the RAILWAY ACCIDENT. An accident of a very serious character occurred on Saturday night, near the Newton-road Station on the northern division of the London and North- Western Railway. In consequence of the express train from Liverpool being twenty minutes behind its time at Wolverhampton it loft that town at a more than usually rapid speed. The train consisted of the " Colonel" engine, which is one of great power, a tender, three carriages, and a luggage van. The rate at which it proceeded created a tremor and oscillation in the carriages so great, that the passengers with difficulty were able to keep their seats, and ulti• mutely, about three hundred yards south of New ton-bridge, the engine ran off the rail., and dashed against the embankment. The carriages, by the concussion, were turned almost completely over, some of them being prevented falling to the ground by the telegraph and other posts. The luggage van was thrown completely on to the down line of rails. The engine embedded itself three feet deep in the embank ment. It would be difficult to describe the scene which immediately followed. It is stated that in the centre compartment of one of the carriages there was a party of five gentlemen, who were pitched against each other in the greatest consternation. They tried in vain to lower the windows, and it was not until a Mr. Smith, a whip-maker, commenced demolishing them, that he and his companions extricated them selves from the carriages. Air. Shuard, an architect residing at Paddington, and who, with two ladies, occupied one of the compartments of a carriage, nar• rowly escaped death, and is much injured. When the confusion had somewhat subsided, and as sistance had arrived, Mr. Shuard was found lying under one of the carriages, so completely wedged in between the broken pieces that it was found impossible to ex tricate him until the carriage was raised. Shortly after the express engine ran off the line, a pilot engine, which had been sent from Birmingham to ascertain the cause of delay of the express, made its appearance on the down line, and the driver, not being aware of the accident, absolutely cut through the luggage van, which lay on the line, and having run along the earth upwards of 100 yards, fell into a ditch. Had the carriages in the express train, like the luggage van, been thrown on the down line, the loss of life must have been frightful. Joyce, the driver of the Pilot, and Johnson, the stoker, were injured, and removed to their homes. The driver and stoker of the Colonel were also thrown from their engine, but were not seriously hurt. So soon as the accident became known in the neighbourhood, prompt assistance was rendered by the inhabitants. Messrs. Dickenson and Aber- crombie, surgeons of Westbromwich, were indefati gable in their attentions, and the Earl of Dartmouth, who resides at Sandwell Hall, in the vicinity of Newton. bridge, on being informed of the accident, dispatched a team of horses to assist in removing the engine and carriages. A train from Walsall having arrived, the passengers were conveyed to Birming ham. Mr. Shuard and Captain Bea rd, of Stirling, who it appeared had &so been severely shaken, were conveyed to the Queen's H otel. Mr. Robinson, the station-master, was unremitting in his attention to the sufferers. It was found, upon examination, Vuz,t . Slx\vavcVe. loft 10% we,. Vvolx.c, tw. maces, 1 and that be :was suffering from internal injuries. None of the other passengers sustained any serious injuries, although as a matter of course considerably frightened. The rails where the accident occurred are said to have been much damaged and broken up. FATAL FALL IN THE STREET.—Yesterday, Mr, Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on view of the body of Anne Collins, aged SR, a maiden lady of independent fortune, whose death was occasioned by a fall under the following distressing circumstances:—lt appeared that the deceased, on the 25th ult., was walking under the archway of the Eastern Counties Railway, in Globe-lane, when she slipped off, and fell in the road, which had been lowered for the purpose of allowing a thoroughfare for vehicles under the railway. She was assisted up and conveyed to her home, No. 242, White chapel-road, when her right leg was found fractured. She was instantly removed to the London Hospital, where the leg was amputated. S he there gradually sank and died on Friday last. It was stated in the course of the inquiry, that there ought to be a railing by the side of the footpath for the protection of the pas sengers. Verdict, " Accide ntal Death, a nd the jury recommended that a railing should be erected along the footpath, by the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, and that the Coroner should write to the secretary. S A GACITY OF A SPANIEL. —Yesterday an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on view of the body of Eliza Sergeant, aged six years, whose death was caused from injuries by fire. It ap peared that the deceased was left, last Thursday week, in a room on the ground floor at No. 1, Ashton-place, Poplar, with two younger children, by their mother, who had gone out to pledge an article for the purpose of buy ing some bread. Upon hearing the screams of the chil dren, a little dog jumped through a pane of glass into the room ; and on their mother's return, which was in a few minutes, she saw the faithful animal tearing away the deceased's clothes with his mouth and paws. Upon his seeing the mother, he went up to her and laid hold of her gown, to draw her towards the child. She suc ceeded in extinguishing the fire, and the deceased was removed to the London Hospital, where she died on Friday last from the effect of the injuries. Verdict, accidental death. A FACT FOR ANGLERS.—One day last week, Mr. Thomas Massicks, of Greenodd, Lonsdale, captured a very fine fluke with an artificial fly, whilst an g li ng in the channel for morts and sprods. Some of the most expert anglers in this neighbourhood state this capture to be the first instance of the kind which has conic to their know , locige,—Kendal Mercury. Mr- 4 ogue istneut thiss day, the sth inst., at one o'c ock. Her Majesty and the Prince Albert left Osborne at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, embarked on board the Fairy, royal yacht, at Osborne Pier, reached Gosport at a quarter before eleven, and Bwakingham Palace at twenty minutes past one.

Colon.ol Maberley had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official re sidence in Downing-street. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BAL- MORAL. Aker proroguing Parliament this day, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, will immediately depart for ‘Voolwich Dockyard, and embark in the royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.11. Her Majesty will be received at the dockyard by the Earl of Auckland, G.C.8., Rear-Admiral Dun das, C. 8., M.P., the lion. Captain Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., M.P., Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B , Surveyor of the Navy, &0., Lords and Officers of the Board of Admiralty ; and by Commodore Superintendent Sir J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., as Colonel-Commandant, at the head of the Royal Dockyard Brigade. The Ad miralty barge and shallop will be in attendance on their Lordships. The Queen, Prince Albert, and suite will embark about 5 P.M , when the Royal yacht, and the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander Cook, and the Vivid, steam-packet, Master Com mander Smithett, will drop down to the Lower Hope, where the squadron will anchor for the night; and, attended by the Virago, steam-sloop, Com mander Harris, who will join the Royal squadron at the Nore, will proceed direct to Aberdeen, at day light on Wednesday morning, without stoppage, the sloop taking coals enough to supply deficiencies in the other three vessels. Her Majesty, it is expected, will land at Aberdeen on Friday morning, and proceed en route to Balmoral the same day. At Aberdeen the most extensive preparations are being made to give the Sovereign a right royal and loyal reception. No expense or labour is spared on the occasion. The Royal yacht will go alongside the jetty, and on landing the Queen and Prince Albert will pass through one of the most magnifi cent triumphal arches ever erected, the decorations of which are most tastefully executed ; the segments are surmounted by a crown, over which is inscribed " "Victoria," .with stars on each side. The crown is entwined by a garland of evergreen, gracefully dropping in festoons, " V." on the right, and " A. on the left ; and the garlands enclosing the inscription " Welcome." Leading through this triumphal arch the Royal party enter the carriages on the platform of the boundary wall of the dock, opposite to which is erected an ampitheatre to contain 1,500 of the principal inhabitants of Aberdeen and neighbourhood, admitted by ticket, whilst ample accommodation for the public is here given in the open space in front of the Royal landing place and on the Waterloo Quay. The strictest precautions have been taken to prevent intrusion on the Royal route, and with this view the road along the quay has been railed off, leaving a pas sage of 60 feet clear. Proceeding along the quay, the Royal cortege comes out on the open space formerly the Plain Sta nes, now ornamented memoryno bl e gra nite of the statue,- a u t c u h e . , heroic size, erec ted to beloved late Duke of Gordon, and will enter upon the High-street, Aberdeen, from which will be presented to the Royal view one of the most noble vistas that any town in the kingdom of Great Britain can boast of. Thence, it is understood, her Majesty will proceed direct to Balmoral, by Banchory, o iveii r and Ballata. Here tat. Queen will enter the High lands by one of the most romantic and beautiful rock passes that even that far-famed region can offer to Sovereign admiration. This pass, from its narrow ness and precipitousness, could be defended by a ' handful of determined troops against a force of any amount. The forest 'of Balmoral, which is about 54 miles from Aberdeen, affords a rare combination of moun tain, wood, field, and flood. The deer-forest extends to the summit of the far-famed poetical Loch N-Na gar. The mosses of this district abound with grouse, and the beautiful mountain itself is the resort of abundance of ptarmigan and the white hare. The whole forest includes an area of from 15 to 20 miles. The castle, which has been recently built, is most felicitously situated on a rich platform, on a winding of the river Dee, possessing in its immediate neigh bourhood a most charming contrast to the noble and rugged scenery with which the forest abounds. it is said that her Majesty's visit will not be ex tended beyond a fortnight. 0 morning , T T GfiA M s . 0 - 0 nNaOfTt after N o G n . e HAM, INCENDIARY lIONDAy . F 2 YREestleN N rday o'clock, a fire broke out in a stack y ard s ituated in the Sand-fields, ono of the suburbs of the borough, and which has resulted in the almost total destruction of two stacks of excellent hay, ono weighing upwards of twenty tons, the property of Mr. William Sinclair, and the other be longing to Mr. Humphrey Page, which weighed more than three tons. No sooner were the flames perceived than the police on duty in various parts of the town ran to the scene of the disaster, and the fire brigade, under the command of Inspector Meldrum, having conveyed thither two of their best engines, great efforts were made to prevent the extension of the fire, but, notwithstanding their exertions, a very small portion only of the hay was rescued from the flames. The police have learned suffi cient to convince them that the fire was caused by an in cendiary; and they are now in pursuit of the guilty party, with a good prospect of effecting his capture. 'rho damage (upwards of 100/.) is covered by an in surance in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire. office. _ FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to announce the sudden decease of Mr. G. M. Fullerton, of Lower Tilgate, Crawley, Sussex. It appears that the unfortunate gen tleman was returning to his residence on Saturday even ing, the 2d of September, a few minutes after eight o'clock, in his dogcart, accompanied by a groom, when, in passing through a narrow gateway within his own grounds, the night being very dark, the wheel came in contact with the gate post, and the horse, a high couraged animal, becoming unmanageable, the vehicle was upset, and Mr. Fullerton received a concussion of the brain, which terminated fatally in a few hours. The servant escaped without any injury. The unfortunate gentle man was poly in his 381. h year.
