It occurred in a solitary farmhouse in the neighbourhood of Nantwich, occupied by Mr. E. Cooke, a respectable farmer, bi 3 wife, four children, three men servants, and two women servants. Mrs. Cooke was up 13te on Saturday night ironing some Ellen, and she left the clothes-horse full of clothes before a blazing fire in the kitchen. A man servant who slept on the premises came down about 4 o'clock to see what time it was, and found the " h .use place" in flames. He managed to get to a room occupied by a ser vant mAid, whom he awoke. The master, hearing the al mn, clme down the stairs leadieg to the kit chen from the apartment where he slept, hut, eith er from the fact of the smoke overpowering him or from a thought of those he hail left behind, he rushed back upstairs, ant nothing more was seen of him. - Two servant la:Is ese3ped, One of the girls who slept in the same part of the house as her master and mistress got on the sill of one of the windows. Mrs. Cooke tried to stop the girl, exclaiming she would be killed. The girl per sisted in jumping out, and so saved her life. The man-servant., in the meantime, who had first given the alarm, had procured a ladder, which was placed against the house. lle endeavoured to get to his master's room, and broke the window. Ile heard a cry from his mistress, who had a baby in her arms; but, owing to the flames and smoke, was unable to render her any assistance. He then set off to Mid dlewieh for an engine, which was brought as speedily as possible to the spot; but as the house was one of the old-fashioned thatched buildings built of lath and plaster, its destruction was inevitabl e .

After three breaks-away a good start was eft-teed, Owen Roe and Liston cutting out the work, followed by Moose and Steamboat, Foxholes, Eldsleigh, Marie Louise, Lori Raglan, Chanticleer gelding, Empress, and the Knave of Trumps bringing up the rear. After going about three furlongs Foxholes ran up to the quarters of Moose, Steam boat following the pair, attended by Endsleigh heading the ruck, Knave of Trumps still bringing up the rear. After clearing the hurdles Lord Raglan was indulged with the lead, Foxholes, Owen Roe, and Liston following clear of the others. Rising the ascent for the turn preceding the stand, Owen Roo took up the running, improving the pace, Lord Raglan going on second in advance of Steam boat and Marie Louise, Foxholes, Moose, and Empress being next, having Endsleigh in close attendance, Knave of Trumps still acting as whipper-in. Before reaching the next flight of hurdles Endsleigh improved her position, fol lowing in the track of the leaders, so that on reaching the obstacle, the mare hardly being able to perceive it, did not rise, and befcre Mr. Edwards could call on her for an effort she breasted the hurdle and came down heavily on her head, causing an indention almost large enough to admit of a fist. Mr. Edwards had no opportunity to save himself, and part of the saddle coming in contact with his fore head he was severely injured. Approaching tbe-five-tur long poet Lord Raglan held a momentary lead, but at the hurdles he was beaten, relinquishing the command to Owen Roe, who was joined by Steamboat, Lord Raglan dropping into the rear of Marie Louise, and being just clear of Foxholes and Liston ; the Chanticleer gelding heading the ruck, which was somewhat widely scattered, the last two now being Empress and Knave of Trumps, the latter having been outpaced all the way. Making the bend for the straight, Moose ran through his horses, taking his place by the side of Owen Roe, and Mr. Studd's repre sentative being beaten on the ascent, Moose on the stand side, and Steamboat on the right, were the only horses left in the race. Steamboat, answering gamely to Adams's call at the commencement of the stand enclosure, took up the running and won very easily by a length. Owen Roe, coming again at the stand, was only defeated by a neck for second place. Marie Louise, who in consequence of strain ing her off-hind pastern at the turn, retired from the front and limped in a bad fourth ; Foxholes was fifth, TomUoke sixth, Lord Raglan seventh, and Liston eighth ; Chan ticleer gelding and Knave of Trumps next ; Empress being last of all.

TRANSPARENT CANDLES.—If you only want something pretty to look at, without minding a little smoke and'smell, and a little bending and running over if the room should happen to be rather warmer than usual, buy any of the very transparent low quality Pam fine Candles now sold freely everywhere at one shilling per pound ; but if, along with beauty of appearance, you require steady brilliancy of light, and freedom from risk of these little occasional mishaps, tell your dealer to supply you with "PRICES GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE CANDLES," which, though charged at a higher price per pound, are really cheaper when the difference of quality is taken into account. They are believed to be the very best substitute yet produced for real Wax and Spermaceti, now at such an*xtravagant price, and are boing introduced in place of them in the West-end Clubs and elsewhere whore ex cellence of quality is studied as well as economy.

The style is the T cart or Stanhope phaeton, on an improved principle. The peculiarity of this carriage is, it has sufficient room for four persons, if required, and is 3 cwt less than the usual ones ; it has no perch, and can lock round in any narrow Jane. The wheels are hickory, with stool tyres; springs only one inch wide, and has Lone's patent steel coated iron axles, which have received so many testimo nials.

CROYDON AUTUMN STEEPLECHASES. TUESDAY. The business of the legitimate steeplechase season began yesterday at the Croydon Autumnal Meeting, under the direction of Mr. J. P. Verrall. Although the morning broke with raw, cold, and cheerless weather, still as the day wore on more cheering prospects presented them selves, and an enjoyable day's sport was the result, there being little or no delay in the weighing-room, an entire absence of objections, and no running in the dark, as is only too often the cage when the events are so numerous on the card. There was only one drawback to complete success. We refer to the accident which befell Mr.Ed wards, the rider of Endsleigh, in the Grand National Hurdle Race. Mr. Edwards sustained severe cuts about the face, and was otherwise bruised and shaken. It will, however, be consoling to Mr. Edwards's friends to learn that he is recovering as favourably as can be expected, and that he is carefully attended by Mr. Lanchester in Croydon. Potter also got an ugly spill; but after a brief rest he seemed not very much the worse. There was a very good attendance, some thousands of people paying for admission into the grounds. The leading patrons of the so-called " illegiti mate" sport were present within the enclosure, which was numerously ratronised. The' line of country run over was the same as last year, namely, at Stroud Green, about two miles east of Croydon and one from Norwood Junc tion. The land has since last year been thoroughly drained, and the committee have profited by experience, and considerably altered the takings off and landings at the fences. The water jump had not been diminished at all, but the gorse has been sloped, so that the horses can see where they are going to land. The Grand National Hurdle Race was the event of yesterday, and it produced a n umerous field, amongst them being some accomplished ' timber toppers." Endsleigh, the winner of tho sen sational Metropolitan, sustained an injury which is more than likely to put an end to her racing career. The mare, not perceiving one of the obstacles, did not rise toit, bait bungling over it came down on her head and made a cavity capable of admitting a 71b weight. The race was won easily by Steamboat; Moose, whose first appearance it was in the character of a hurdle-jumper, being second. Marie Louise, the Liverpool and Shrewsbury winner, broke down in her off bird pastern, and limped in fourth. She was made the favourite with her stable companion, being backed at 2 to 1, whilst 6 to 1 was laid against the winner. The Stewards' Plate was won by the useful Comberton ; and he did the backers a good turn, bringing them back their losses on the Hurdle Race. Details of the day's sport are appended: — A Selling Hurdle Race Stakes of 3 soya each, with 25 added ; three year olds lOst, four list 41b, five and up wards list 71b; winn ,- rs of a hurdle race value 40 sous 51b extra; the winner to be sold for 50 sous; about one mile and a half, over six hurdles.

Roving Maid made the running followed by Order, Erolite bringing up the rear. Round ing the bend Order drew up to Roving Maid, these two being four lengths in advance of the other pair. After going about a mile Lytham dropped into the rear, Roving Maid simultaneously increasing the lead. Both Order and Erolite refused the hurdle at the mile post, Jackson being unseated, but Order being persevered with went on in the rear. Jackson remounted, and went on fully a quarter of a mile behind the leaders, of whom Roving maid was still in the van. At the turn Lytham was beaten, and Roving Maid won in a canter by 20 lengths, Order finishing a bad third, .rolite walking in with the crowd. The winner was bought in for 87 guineas; and Lytham, who ran second, was also put up, Int, the auctioneer failing to realise a bid of more than a "pony," this horse was also bought in. - - The Grand National Hurdle Race Handicap of 15 Pow each, • Betting-5 to 2 agst Comberton, 4to 1 agst Vindicator, 100 to 15 agst Standard Bearer, and 8 to 1 agst Wings of the Wind. Standard Bearer made the running, followed by Laura, Portfire, Nabocklish, Comberton, Sinite, Vin dicator, Faint Heart, and Jassy, Huntsman's Daughter bringing up the rear. After going about 300 yards Laura took up the running, Vindicator being next, Standard Bearer and Comberton following, clear of Jassy and Hoiice, Huntsman's Daughter still last. No change oc curred until nearing the hurdles preceding the water jump where Comberton took second place, and; after passing the hurdle, forced the pace, Laura being at the head of the others. They' came on in compact order •to the water jump, which was cleared first by Vindicator, Laura being next,tho others following in much the same orderas above. All got safely over, with the exception of Faint Heart, who swerved into the course, and was not prsevered with. When the next fence had been cleared Laura came forward and took up the running, followed closely by Comberton and Vindicator, the next body of horses comprising Standard Bearer, Black flock, and Sinite. At the fence opposite the Stand Helice fell and throw Potter, who, how ever, escaped with a slight shaking, and walked to the paddock with assistance. ,Five furlongs from home Laura dropped back beaten, and this loft Comberton with tho load, Vindicator and Helice (who went on riderless) being clear of the others. Before reaching the straight Vindicator was done with, and Wings of the Wind, who was baulked by Helice, took his position on the water-jump side of the course ; but, being beaten on the ascent, Comberton can tered in an ;easy winner by a length. Nabocklish came with a rush at the finish, and obtained third place, a length behind Wings of the Wind ; Laura was fourth, Jassy fifth, blackrock sixth, Standard Bearer seventh, Clumber eighth, Huntsman's Daughter ninth, Sinite tenth ; Vindicator walked in next, while Portfire was beaten by fully half a mile.

Horace Walpole made play, fol lowed by Stiff, Red Rose, and Ace of Trumps; Oldminster for a short distance being in the rear. After going about half a mile, Ace of Trumps, beading Red Rose, took third place, but before rcaciiing the water jump Red Rose again went up to Horace Walpole, Stiff simultaneously giving way to Oldminster, and the lot came along in a compact body to the water jump, which ,Horaco Walpole, Red Rose, and Ace of Trumps cleared nearly abreast, Oldminster, who followed the trio, refusing, and thereby baulking Stiff, who was following in his track. Eventually, how ever, both got over the obstacle and went on in pursuit, Oldminster refusing again at the farm-house fence, his jockey having some difficulty to get him over. The fa vourite soon got on terms with his horses, and alternately led with Horace Walpole and Rod Rose, but the last men tioned had a clear advantage at the flight of hurdles about a quarter of a mile from home, and was going remarkably well, when be came down, falling on French, who fortu nately, escaped material injury. This contretemps allowed Ace of Trumps to take up the running, and he won in a canter by three lengths; Stiff was a bad third, and the other two did not pass the post.

Making the turn into the straight, Maid of the Mill took up the running —Vit toria, Jove, and Flare-up going on next. Making the straight for home, all, with the exception of the favourite and Flare-up, were beaten.

METROPOLITAN STREETS ACT (1867) AMEND ➢lENT.—Yesterday morning was issued the copy of a bill for the amendment of " The Metropolitan Streets Act, 1867," by which it is enacted that the sixth section of "The 'Metropolitan Streets Act, 1867," prohibiting the de posit of goods in the streets, shall not apply to cosier' mongers, street hawkers, or itinerant traders, so long as they carry on their business in accordance with the regula tions from time to time made by the Commissioner of Police, DunLix, Nov. 2(3. The Fenian =cations arc still a fruitful topic of discussion in the journals. - most of the organs which profess nadie:ll priucip - ''• •'y are condemned in strong term.. The Evening Post, for example, compares the treAtmentof Ireland to that of Poland. The Fro - males Journal compares Allen and his com ,ii.aliteioen,s.ti,:o 1: A .( 1 7 7 i S sa y y d s n e t 3 .l , i e a Irish e n . 1 1 , t , i n l s t se be lieve ,ilat three of their fellow eountrynwn " w.!re offered up ono the scaffold as a sacrifice to the spirit of hatred and brutal revenge ;" and adds, " we, at least, shall not persuade them to accept injustice as one of the inevitable &crees of Providence." The reckless perseverance with which a portion of the press endeavours to embitter their national pre judices and represent the executions as a cruel and unjustifiable tragedy may produce a crop of future mischief. In admirable contrast with the tone of such journals is an article in the Northern Whig, which enforces with ability and earnestness the true moral to be drawn from the scene of Saturday. The Whig observes :—" A stripling of 19 and two other Fenians have died for Kelly and Deasy, and, of course, much Kelly and Deasy care. Stephens is in Paris, avowing himself with suspicious ostentation to be in great poverty, and borrowing money from his friends to pay even the expenses of the advertise ments he issues for pupils as a teacher of English. Kelly and Deasy are skulking in places best known to themselves; evideritlfelYnt terYtiri slightest risk. The challenge had been openly given for this Fenian organisation if it possessed any vita lity worthy of acknowledgment by its enemies to show itself. It slunk away to its fitting home, the slums of Salford, Manchester, and Liver pool, and allowed the wretched dupes to die the felon's death. It is capable of midnight asswsination, of the most atrocious threats, and the vilest bombast. When, however, it is re solutely confronted, whether it be by a dozen Irish policemen, or openly braved, as on Saturday morn ing at Manchester, by all that can stir the blood, it, like the bully and coward it is, thinks nothing of its solemn pledges, and is only anxious to save its own skin. Compare this conduct with that of Garibaldi and his volunteers near Rome. And yet we have read in Irish organs, which abuse the liberty of the • press, and are themselves a proof that never before did a Government tolerate so much, that Garibaldi, for whom the whole Italian people have such a pas sionate veneration, is a mere filibuster, while Kelly and Deasy are heroes! • • • • • This is not a time for sentimentalising on the un timely end of these three young men. It is not a time for disgraceful threats of vengeance, such as we see with regret some organs that we refrain from naming have not hesitated to circulate and make their own in leading articles. We believe that this Fenian spirit would nearly disappear if part of the Catholic press in Ireland, in professing to condemn it, would not sympathise with it, and really trade upon it. This is, however, openly and shamelessly done. It is no glorious task thus to encourage, while pretending to gently rebuke, a movement which is known to be utterly hopeless, and which has just sent three victims to the scaffold, and is filling our prisons with misguided and desperate men. It is no very glorious thing for editors and proprietors of certain newspapers to turn even Bri tish freedom against itself while writing against oppression ; and to seek cunningly to graze the edge of treason while carefully avoiding to incur its penal ties. The British people have no wish to maintain any Irish abuses; even the organs who tell their readers the contrary know their assertions to be false." In the provinces the news of the executions called forth no public manifestations such as had been apprehended. The utmost tranquillity pre vailed everywhere, and in a few places was there any noticeable expression of feeling. The only locality where anything which could be called a demonstration was made was the city of Cork. It was, however, peaceable. The military had been confined to barracks in readiness to act if required, and armed patrols of police paraded the streets on Saturday and Sunday nights, but remarkable quiet ness prevailed. The shops were half closed when the intelligence arrived. On Sunday in most of the Ro man Catholic churches of the city, and also in Queenstown, and in different parts of the county of Cork, special reference was made to the executed Fenians in the prayers for the departed, and the congregations, it is said, were deeply affected. At the entrance-gates of several of the chapels were placards with a deep mourning border, with the words, " Of your charity pray for the repose of the murdered patriots, Allen, O'Brien, and Larkin. God save Ireland !" It does not appear that any at tempt was made from without or from within the sacred edifices to disturb this edifying document. On Sunday numbers of young men of the city, chiefly of the artisan class, wore crape hatbands and green rosettes. Some well-dressed women also dis played mourning rosettes, and several vessels in the river had their flags at half-mast. In some instances funeral precessions were formed. Biographical sketches of Allen and O'Brien are given in the Cork papers. W. P. Allen was born in 1848, in a village near the town of Tipperary, and when about three years old his parentsremoved to Bandon. His father was a Protestant, and was keeper of the Bridewell. He was educated in a school under the superintend ence of the lion. Mr. Bernard, now Bishop of Tuam, but his mother being a Catholic he became at an early age imbued with her religious principles, and about four years ago, when some Roman Catholic missionaries visited the town, he openly conformed to their church, and since then, it is stated, he has been a strict and exemplary Catholic. His sister, who lives in Cork, followed his example ; but his fonr brothers remain Protestants. He was bound apprentice to a respectable carpenter and timber merchant in Bandon, and afterwards was induced by some relatives to go to Manchester, where he con tinued to reside until the murder of Brett. Michael O'Brien, alias Gould, was born near Ballymacoda, in the county of Cork, where Crawley, another Fenian, who was shot in an encounter with the military, re sided. He served an apprenticeship in the drapery establishment of Messrs. Arnott and Grant, of Cork. He afterwards spent some time in another firm, and ultimately emigrated to America, where he had a number of friends, some of them in prosperous cir cumstances. When the civil war broke out he joined the Northern army and served in several campaigns. At its close he went to Liverpool and was soon after wards arrested on a charge of complicity with the Fenian conspiracy. He escaped, however, on that occasion, unfortunately for himself, and then re moved to Cork, where he got employment. Here his Fenian principles became more fully developed, and he took an active part in the treasonable organisa tion. On Shrove Tuesday night, when the rising was made, he disappeared, and was not again heard of until the rescue of Kelly and Deasy. Ile is sup posed to have been the fourth person in the party with M'Clure, Kelly, and Crawley, in the collision with the military on the 18th of September iu Kil clooney-wood. He looked so quiet and gentle that he was called by the soubriquet of " Father Mike." His friends are consoled with the assurance that " Michael O'Btien died as he lived—a brave Christian gentleman." An application was made yesterday in the Court of Queen's Bench to admit Win. J. Nagle, one of the Fenian prisoners reserved for trial at the Sligo Assizes, to bail, chiefly ou the ground of ill health. Since his arrest the Summer Assizes have been held, and two commissions. At the last commission he was assured that he wouli be arraigned after " Ge neral" Warren, but ultimately the trial was post poned. Mr. Heron, Q.C., who applied on his be half, read an affidavit by Mr. Thornhill, a physician to the prison, and Dr. Banks, stating that he was in delicate health, and that further protracted confine —efforts o€4llBfiremen were therefore directed to the preservation of the staelia-and outbuildings. The farm is the property of Sir John Chetwode, the owner of extensive property at Whitley, and the house was one of those old-fashioned timbered erec tions which are too common in many parts of Cheshire. It was a long, rambling edifice, and the means of ingress and egress were of an exceedingly. limited character. The most painful thing to relate is that Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, with their four young children and a nurse-girl, were entirely consumed, so that only the partial remains of some of them could be recovered from the tuins. On Monday an inquest was held by Mr. W. J. R. Dunstan, the coroner, and a respectable jury of farmers and a few gentlemen from Middlewich. The evidence con sisted of that of John Roylance, the waggoner of Mr. Cooke, Ann Davenport, his maid-servant, and a police-constable. On the Saturday there were nine persons sleeping in the house. Roylance said he awoke in a fright, having been dreaming that he was killed. On going downstairs about half-past 4 in the morning he heard a crackling noise, and on banging the door open he saw the house on fire. He immediately gave the alarm, and on running round he heard screaming in his master's bedroom. He went on horseback to Middlewich for the engine. All that remained of the house was the chimney and gable end and the kitchen. Ann Davenport's evi dence described the poSition of things on the family going to bed. She Said that she went to bed at 11 o'clock on Saturday night last, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in the house-place having their supper. There was a clothes-maiden in the house-place for airing the clothes. At nearly 1 o'clock on Sunday morning her mistress came to her and said, " You have not gone to sleep !" I said, " Yes, I have been to sleep, but have wakened." She said, " There is a clothes-maiden before the fire; you must in the morning take the maiden and clothes away, and not dirty them." Master had put Some wood on the fire, and had left it a good fire. She awoke not long before she was called by Roylaneo, and heard a crackling, and she thought the lads had kindle 1 the fire, as they sometimes did. When Roylance shouted she jumped up, and ran into the master's room for some matches and wakened him. There was no smoke or fire there then. All the children but Ellen were asleep. Her master and mistress were awake. Master ran down stairs and opened the door at the foot of the stairs. The house place was then full of flames, whiCh flashed upstairs, and her master fell backwards. He ran to her mistress —she got up and el:l9.)ed hol lof him. She took up the b tby and put it down again. Witness ran into the room, and after some time succeeded in open ing the window. Her mistress got hold of her leg just as she was going to jump out. Oilier, on the outside, had brought a ladder, which she got partly ou and jumped down. She asked her mistress to jump down, but she said she could not, and went back to the children. She never saw her mistress or the children again. ller master put his head through the window as if for fresh air, and then went back. Fire-engines arrived from Middlewich. She was naked, and ran to the chapel-house ('enables) very soon after her master had gone from the window. The baby's name was Mary, and was born in May. Ellen was seven years old, Sophia was four years, and Edward two. Her master was 40 years of age, and his wife Elizabeth about 36 years old. The nurse-girl, Elizabeth Shaw, was the daughter of Edward Shaw, a labourer, in the Potteries ; she slept in the room witness did ; she was part asleep; witness shook her, but could not awaken her ; witness could not speak to her, her breath was stopped ; she was suffocating ; she was 12 years old last June. All these seven persons '•were suffocated and dead before the house fell in. There was not a fire that night in the master's bed rooin. The parents and children slept in two beds in the same room. ilThere the remains of the mas ter and mistress were found upon the ground was exactly under where their bed would be. There was an iron guard before the fire, between the fire and the clothes-maiden. It was a thatched house, with a great deal of wood about it. She heard the master say twice, "The Lord have mercy upon us." Thomas llardern, police constable, said when he arrived before the engines the chamber flooring had fallen in. Eventually the whole house came down, except the two chimneys and part of the . milkhouse. Ile found the burnt remains of a body, apparently of a grown-up man. By them lay the remains of a smaller body, which he be lieved to have been Mrs. Cooke's remains. On mov ing these he found the wedding ring produced. About a yard from them were the remains of a child. The feathers of a pillow or bed lay under ucath them, and a piece of a bed-post. He found a piece of a shin or thigh on the ground, which was under where the girl Shaw had been sleeping. All the remains found were burnt almost to tinder, and so as to be impossible to be recognised except as to sizes. The coroner then addressed the pry, re marking that of all the awful occurrences which had taken place in their experience probably none had equalled in painful interest the one constituting the subject of the present inquiry, and he then said there was no evidence to show how the fire origi nated. The jury returned the following verdict : I hat the seven deceased persons met with their death from suffocation from the flames and smoke arising from the house taking fire. As to the cause of the fire the jury have no evidence to show." GUILD COURT.
