CANDLES. —If you do not want your candles exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT WAR," (or their "BEST," "No. 2," "N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA " COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffin, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

Humphries, Estate Agent, Print ing House-square, A.n Eloquent Lecture at Bermuda. Judging from the enthusiastic language in which it is spoken of by the Bermuda journals, a lecture of remarkable ability, and of no ordinary eloquence, has recently been delivered, there, in the Mechanics' Hall, by the Hon. Miles Gerald Leon, the Colonial Secretary. In the _Ber muda Mirror of the 20th ultim ), we find the occasion thus referred to—the Mirror reporter prefacing his record off the proceedings with this in quiry—" Reader, were you at the Mechanics' Hall on Thursday evening last, to hear the lecture on Government by the Hon. Miles Gerald Leon ? if you were not we pity you. Pity you be cause you lost a mental treat, the like of which you may never again have an op portunity of feasting on. We had believed that the first part of the lecture delivered by the hon. gentleman, some time since, was too bril liant to be eclipsed, but that delusion was dis pelled on Thursday night after listening 'to the concluding portion of the subject. This part was sweetly commingled with happy and beau tiful illustrations, coloured with the choicest language of a highly cultivated intellect, brighten ing up the heretofore dull dry pages of history, and making them dazzle in beauty with new-born con ceptions." The reporter of the Bermuda Mirror then goes on to add, " Of the many faithful and touch ing illustrations on despotic government as compared with that government which is influenced by gentle ness and affection, none was more striking or touch ing than the anecdotes of King Frederick of Prussia, and of Napoleon the First—(.Le Petit Caporal.) In the case of Frederick, our readers will remember, on a certain occasion, when encamped in front of the enemy, he had given strict orders that no light of any description was to be used during the night. An unfortunate young officer who had been hurried off—when just leaving the altar with his bride—to join his regiment then on its way to the battle-field, had obtained a light, and having darkened, as he thought, every crevice through which the light could be seen, he sat down quietly to write to his young and dearly-loved bride. Frederick, mistrusting his sen tinels, strolled out himself to see that his orders were obeyed. He discovered the light in the young officer's tent, raised the canvas door, moved stealthily and unnoticed to a position behind the chair of his victim, and looking over his shoulder waited till he had finished. Then requested the horror-stricken lover to add a postscript to his letter to the effect that he was to be shot at sun rise in the morning for disobedience- of orders. He was shot next morning, and the monster Frede rick added another postscript stating that he had been shot, and at that moment was lying five feet under the sand bathed in his own blood. In the case of Napoleon we are told that when simi larly situated in front of the enemy, he issued a similar order to that of Frederick. He, too, went round the camp. On its: outskirts, at a most important point, he stumbled on the form of a sleeping sentinel. Napoleon knew that his men were tired by long marches, and looking with pity on the prostrate form ,f his weary soldier, he nobly resolved to let him sleep on ; and shouldering the corporal's musket he paced up and down his beat till the relief came. The awakened soldier was seized with terror when he discovered the situation he was in. What a con trast is there between his punishment and that of the Prussian—the corporal was dismissed with a severe reprimand. The Prussian suffered death for a far less offence." The Bermuda Royal Gazette, of the 19th ult., is equally enthusiastic in its encomiums—and from it we obtain the following, as nearly as possible, verbatim record of the peroration of Mr. Keon's ad dress, a peroration in the course of which it will be seen the hon. gentleman pronounced an impassioned panegyric upon the public and personal character of the reigning Sovereign; He is here reported to have said, at the conclusion of his speech—" I think I have fulfilled my engagement—l have indeed left out of sight a vast multitude of considerations which crowd into my mind even while - I say SO ; but I have no choice —we have not time for them. Sonic ques tions can be discussed in a couple of hours ; others in ten minutes, but others require a regular course of studies —yes, months of sustained studies. And the present subject happens to be one, for the investigation of a single department of which (and a very inferior department, too), there is a professor's chair in every great university. I allude to the politics of history, or rather to a branch of it— [" Constitutional History" it is sometimes called.] Under difficulties so immense, I venture to believe that I have laid before you a fair outline of the whole matter. First, I reviewed rapidly all the forms of Government known to civilised annals, and next, I not only enumerated the various means of power, or resources of statesmanship, —and (so far as I knew how) explained them, and compared them together, and valuated them respec tively ; but I elucidated by examples four out of the five—Corruption, terror, personal enthusiasm, and transcendent genius. One was left—the spirit of law, the principle of order, of equal justice for every subject or citizen. Of a political structure built by this architect we have an example over our heads. We, in the British Empire, live under the very roof of a majestic political system, in which no arbitrary edicts can change the tenour of public affairs, no capricious Ukase vex or startle the minds of the people, no personal am bition squander their resourcesi but where an equal law rules high and low alike, where tribunals, partial to none, are open to all ; and where the freest of nations has itself no niggard share in con trolling the mightiest of Empires. At its head we have a Sovereign of whose personal and public virtues we are equally proud ; and proud by force of reasons far more solid, more just, and more noble than any that ever kindled the enthusiasm of a martial race for a warrior-chief. It is now just thirty years since the fair young daughter of the late illustrious Duchess of Kent (one of the best, most gifted, wisest women that ever prepared a future Alonarch for a Throne) — after days which it is neither my duty nor my desire to describe—rendered the English Court the glory of her people and the ad m i ra ti on o f the world; turned it into a fountain of all pure, noble, beneficent, and moralising influences ; and sent our thoughts across many a century back to the early days of our annals to find anything re sembling it in every virtue that can adorn the most exalted station, or bless the lowliest. Nor must we forget that she who, from the outset, has been the model of Sovereigns, has also, wh erever it was pos sible, been the Peacemaker of nations. Only yes terday a woman's gentle hand stayed the frightful collisions of a million of armed men ready for the field. Under her sway her people have seen, combined with all the freedom that the wildest votaries of De mocracy itself could desire—l affirm it fearlessly and stand to it deliberately—liberty, larger, more real, or more perfect men have never known; her people have seen, I:say, combined with all this free dom—the stability of a hereditery crown—the fixed supremacy of law—the glory of historic in stitutions—the improvements which the useful, and the lustre which the fine arts bestow— a manulaeturiug development and a commer vial prosperity never witnessed on this earth before —the refinement of a society with a l iterary Sove reign at its head, and leavened by t'. most lettered of aristocracies—the vigour imps rted by the most independent of middle classes—pe•icc at home and respect abroad—the prudence of: trained statesmen —the healthful play of public opin ion, and the vital stir of a Parliamentary Go'-erument, in which sus tained dignity and unfailing murt( sy in debate have not impaired the effectiveness or chilled the genius of the noblest orators who have. addressed any deli berative assembly, since the pabi.y laurelled noon day of Roman and Athenian eloquence. Lord Bolingbroke somewhere .1; alks of " a wild rhapsody of events :"—the story of the times I have now glanced at will sound more like an anthem ; and although we have had many a. great statesman, and many an illustrious Sovereign in England, none will be remembered hereafter more proudly or more fondly than Queen Victoria ; and, so long as men of the British race remain upon earth, to no name in our long brave annals will appertain in larger measure that enduring, imperishable glory which makes the past present—and the distant near and the dead themselves immortal. If, in this succinct argument (brief in proportion to the immensity of the theme), I have satisfied your expectations, I have done all that I hoped and desired—if I have disappointed or, in any manner, fallen shortof them, I have done, at least, all that I could. Deltberate ,and Diabolical Murdea in Lambeth. SURRENDER AND EXAMINAON OF THE MURDERER. Immediately after the disposal of the night charges at Lambeth Police-court yesterday, a young man of morose aspect, named Thomas Clarke, was placed at the dock, having been brought from the cells by Oakes, the gaoler, and Bartlett, the under gaoler, and charged before Mr. Elliott with the wilful murder of Annie Smith, aged about three months, at No. 55, Tyer-street, Lambeth. Sergeant Harris watched the case ; the prisoner was undefended. He is a short built man, described as a labourer, aged 27, and has for some time been living with Eliza Smith, the mother of the deceased, at No. 55, Tyer-street. During the examination he glanced uneasily round the court, which was crowded to excess. Upon being placed in the dock, in answer to question from the chief clerk, he said in a loud and rough manner that his name was Thomas Clarke. Police-constable Hawes, 195 L, was the first wit ness. He said —Last night, at half-past seven, I was in the Waterloo-road, between Oakley street and Tower-street, when the prisoner came up to me and said, " Do you want a job ?" I said, " I don't know ; that depends upon what it is." He said, " I shall give myself up to you for murder ing a child." I asked him where, and he said "At 55, Tyer-street. I strangled it." I said, " Very well; you will have to come with me to the statical," and he said he would. We went to the station in Tower-street, and there prisoner made the same statement to the acting inspector. I was then directed to take the prisoner to Kennington-lane station, and on the road I believe he said something bearing on the case to Constable 126 L. Mr. Elliott—Have you seen the body of the de- ceased ? Witness—l was directed to go to 55, Tycr-street, where I saw the child—a female—lying dead in the arms of its mother, who gave the name of Eliza Smith. Mr. Elliott —Did you observe any marks of vio lence on the body of the child ? Witness—l saw where there had been the cord produced tied round the neck of deceased. I be lieve the woman had removed the cord from the neck. Police-constable Mullins, 126 L, said—Last night I was in the Waterloo-road, and saw thelast witness and the prisoner go down Tower-street into the police-station. The last witness said, " This man has given himself up to me for killing a child." The acting-inspector asked him how he did it, and he said not with a cord but with his fingers, and the child was in the back room downstairs, at 55, Tyer-street. We were then sent with the pri soner to Kennington-lane station, and coming along the road the prisoner said to me, " I hope she has not done anything to herself ; I am afraid she has, for when I went back at half-past six I found the door locked." I said to the prisoner, " Of whom are you speaking ?" and he said, " Eliza Smith, the child's mother. I left her asleep at half-past five. She had been asleep about '2O minutes, when I strangled the child with my fingers, and I hope it is dead. I have been out of work 16 weeks, and we have sold nearly everything off for fool. When I got up this morning we had no breakfast, and all we have had to-day is a piece of dry bread ; there is none left." That was all he said to me. The Prisoner—l said I had been out of work for eight weeks. Witness continued—l went to 55, Tyer-street, and there in the back parlour I saw the female named Eliza Smith with the dead body of a female child lying naked in her arms. Constable 145 L was in the room, and he gave me the piece of cord produced. On looking at the child I saw that there was a mark of a cord round its neck. Dr. Richards came in shortly afterwards and said that life had been extinct for about three hours. We then went back to the station with the female, and she saw the prisoner, who said nothing to us. Police-constable Shannon, 145 L, gave corrobo rative evidence, and said that the landlord of the house gave him the piece of cord, which had two knots in it, and had been removed from the neck of the deceased. Eliza Smith, a decent-looking young woman, who cried bitterly, was next examined. She said—l am a single woman, and have been living with the pri soner as his wife for about seven months at 55, Tyer-street, Lambeth. The deceased was my daughter, and was ten weeks old. She was bap tised Annie Smith. The prisoner was not her father. I laid down on Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock. The prisoner was thenin the same room nursing the deceased. I had fallen asleep, and was awakened after dusk by hearing the shutting of the room and street doors. I then found the deceased lying be hind me on the bed. I took it up and tried to feed it, but it would not take the breast. I then saw the cord round its neck, and the child was dead. I rushed up in alarm and found that the cord was tied very tighly round the child's neck. I laid the baby down, and went round to the prisoner's father's, and asked if he had been there. His stepmother told me that he had looked in, but did not stop a minute. I next saw him at the station. By the Magistrate—We had passed the day very happily together. The prisoner was very good to me and the baby. We had not bad any words at all. There was nothing at all the matter with the prisoner in any way yesterday, only that he ap peared to be low-spirited all day. IVe were iu great distress from difficulties. There was scarcely anything in our rooms. I am positive we had not quarrelled yesterday. The prisoner said nothing iu particular about the deceased, only was kind. Mr. Samuel Atkinson Richards said—l am a physician, and reside at 153, Upper Kennington lane. Last evening, at half-past eight o'clock I was called to the deceased by a man who told me that the child was dead, an I hal been murdered. I went to 55, Tyer-street, Lambeth, anl found that a woman was nursing the deceased in her lap. Teat woman was the witness Eliza Smith, who says she is the mother of the deceased. I examined the child, and foun I it dead. There were the marks of a li gature round the neck, and the cord had been re moved. It had been tied very tightly. Time mouth was slightly open, the tongue discoloured, au,4 The Prisoner (in a loud tone)--It was the cord my knife hung up by. It is what I had my knife hanging on. Now, Eliza, you know it, do you not ? Mr. Elliott (to witness)—After what the prisoner says do you know the cord ? Witness--I know that he had a piece of string like this to hang his knife upon. Sergeant Harris said thr.t at present there was no further evidence, and a post-mortem examina tion of the body would have to be made. Mr. Elliott then inquired if the prisoner had any thing t o say. The Prisoner (clearly) —Nothing at all, Sir. The prisoner was remanded for a week, and at once conveyed to ilorsemonger-lane Gaol in a cab. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The iron-clad frigate Hercules, 14, 5,226 tons, 1,200 horse-power, and the turret-ship Monarch, 6, 5,100 tons, 1,100 horse-power, now under construc tion at Chatham dockyard, are to be sent, the for mer to I)evonport, and the latter to Portsmouth, soon after launching, to be completed in their fit tings. A small pressure steam engine is to be fitted on the lower deck of each vessel, to be used in working the fire-engines, revolving the turrets, and for other purposes for which their services may be adapted. The extra ironwork for both vessels, be yond that for which special charges have been taken, is ordered to be carried out at Woolwich dockyard. The Monarch is ordered to be coated externally and internally with the Gisborno mercurial anti-fouling composition, the contract for the execution of the work having been taken by the Marine Improve ment Company. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. _f Last week opened with a cold dull day, rather frosty, with a slight fall of snow at night. On Mon day morning 9 degrees of frost were registered ; the day was cold and winterly. Wind N.E. Thermo meter 38 degrees at noon, down to 32 in the even ing. Barometer 30.10 inches. On Tuesday morn ing the same severity was registered, being again 9 degrees, but it afterwards b.:came damp, in the evening a thaw set in, and the snow fast melted away. Our advices were as under on that date. From Northumberland : " The weather has been very cold and wintry, as well as stormy. Wind varying from S.W. to N.B. To-day is damp, wind W." From Lancashire it was stated : " The ea ther has assumed the character of severe winter. strong fros's with heavy gales of wind alternated, with copious rainfall. This morning the frost has again disappeared." With these sudden changes in the weather little outdoor work on the farm could be done, and no thrashing -- by the machine. It seems probable that these vicissitudes in the state of the weather must be injurious to the wheat plant : while that which was first planted may fare worse than that which was got into the ground later and has not yet made its appearance. Accounts generally are not so favourable as they were a short time since, when the plant then up had so healthy an appearance. On Wednesday there was a complete thaw, with a much higher temperature. Wind, S.W. ; ther mometer, 46 deg.; barometer, 29.90 in. From the west coast of Scotland it was stated : " After a week's frost the weather has turned mild again." Thrashing by machine is still stopped, this month so far being unlike the preceding one, and with the falls of snow much against wheat being brought forward in good condition, as on that account against making good sales, although prices still re main satisfactory for the best qualities. Some far mers have already made free with their stocks, and by the end of the year they will have little left. Thursday was a more cheerful day ; at times sunny. Wind, N.W. ; thermometer, 50 deg. at noon ; bare ' meter, 30.10 in. Our advices from 'Warwickshire : " Weather has been changeable ; it is now mild, dull, and foggy." The deliveries of wheat have fallen off during this week, only amounting to 62,60 G quarters, at 68s. ld., against 71,546 quarters, at 68s. 51, the previous week. The corresponding one of the past year was 76,127 qrs., at 61s. 7d. per qr. The deliveries of barley have been liberal, although somewhat less. The amount returned this week was 90,291 quarters at 40s. 2d., against 91,401 quarters, at 40s. 5d., the previous week ; the corresponding one of the past year was 74,305 qrs. at 465. 2d. It is not likely that such large supplies can be brought forward for many weeks longer, and the maltsters seem aware of this fact from their buying more freely in spite of the dull trade for malt. Friday was a fine day, sunny at times ; Wind W., thermometer 50 degrees, barometer 3010 inches. The deficiency in the supplies of home grain is made up by large foreign imports, many large cargoes of wheat and flour having come in from America during the week, as the westerly winds favoured their arrival. Saturday was dull and threatening, and in the after noon rain set in, with the evening wet, a south westerly wind, and the week closing with a threaten ing aspect as regards the weather. —,hark-lane Express of yesterday.

The Daily News says :—" The amount of damage pro duced by the explosion appears to have been considerably understated, and can be properly estimated only by those familiar with the neighbourhood. The houses damaged may be roughly put down at 600. The number of indi. viduals who have been admitted to the hospitals unfortu nately affords no real criterion of the real number who were more or less injured by the explosion. The resident i , medical men have under their care a large number td sufferers, chiefly from fright, and it has been estimated that were these added to the list of those in the hospitals, the number of victims would be swollen to at least 230 or 300. The number of families who have suffered in a lesser or greater degree from the effects of the explosion amount& to several hundreds, and so great is the terror inspired amongst them that in several cases they have moved what they could save from the wreck of their furniture from the scene of disaster. At least eighteen out of every j twenty families thus smitten are those of honest, hard working people, upon whom the blow has fallen with crushing severity. To describe the effects of this outrage on the minds and feelings of the Clerkenwell population is simply impossible. The very men who were foremost in cheering Finlan on Clerkenwell-green are now the loudest in their denunciation of this, the latest fruit of Fenian agitation." Dr. Jenner, by special command of her Majesty, visited the sufferers in St. Bartholomew's Hospital in the course of yesterday, and was conducted to the several wards in which they are lying by Mr. Foster White, treasurer of the institution, and Mr. M`Lean, the house surgeon. Having seen each patient in turn, and made kind inquiries into the state of all of them, And their possible need of anything beyond the com forts provided by manage,' 'institution. Dr. Jenner left St. Bartholomew's and proceeded to the Royal Free Hospital on the same charitable mission. Of the thirty-two inmates of St. Bartholomew's who are suf fering from injuries inflicted by the explosion three are,, reported to be in a bad way. Mary Moseley, one of these dangerously injured persons, is a woman of 48 years. Her case has from the first been considered a cri tical one ; and though a slight improvement was yesterda4 observed, she remains in a very serious state. The o+ - ;ner cases giving rise to great apprehension are thr ift o f two sisters, Elizabeth and Harriet Th'anpson, belonging to a family who occupied part of the house No. 3A, opposite to the spot where the barrel was exploded. Their mother is in the same institution, And their two younger sisters, one of whom has since died, were taken to the Royal Free Hospital. These two at St. Bartholo mew's are terribly injured. The elder, Elizabeth, com plained of intense pain in the head, and was delirious during great part of yesterday. Her sister Harriet suffers also from severe injuries to the head and a lacera tion of one of the arms. The mother is reported to be advancing as favourably as can be expected towards recovery. The four patients at the Royal Free Hospital are also improving. The worst case is that of the elderly man, Humphrey Evans ; and it has been aggra vated by an attack of bronchitis. He is, nevertheless, reported to be " progressing, but very slowly." Hannah Roberts and Hannah Maria Thompson are both doing well. The boy Authur Abbott is likely to lose the sight of both his eyes. When Dr. Jenner saw these suf ferers yesterday, he stated to Dr. Alexander Marsden, the general superintendent, who conducted him over the hospital, what he had announced at St. Bartholomew's, namely, that her Majesty would have come in person but that circumstances had occurred to prevent her intended visit. The body of the poor little girl, Martha Thompson, who died on Sunday after noon, presents a shocking spectacle. She had been almost covered with wounds, and a part of her scalp, with the left ear, had been blown away, leaving the skull exposed. Inspector Potter distributed yesterday £5O, which ho had rneived from Government for the relief of the sufferers. The funds set apart by the Chancellor of the Exchequer arc being given away in sums varying from £2 to £5. An application was made yesterday to Mr. Cooke, the sitting magistrate at Clerkenwell, by a young woman, a widow, with a sickly child in her arms. Her story was as follows: " I am a tailoress, and my husband having died, leaving me with this child to support, I worked with my brother, who is a tailor, and lived at No. 3A, Corporation-row, the house which was blown completely down by the explosion. On Friday last, on going to my dinner, at one o'clock, my brother told me that I need not return, as there would be no more work to be done that afternoon. I went away, and a few hours afterwards the explosion took place, blowing my brother's house down, and burying the whole of his furniture beneath the ruins. My poor sister in-law was killed, and my mother is now in the hospital. My brother being totally ruined, I am without work or money to buy food for either my child or myself ; and my object in applying to you is to ask if you could grant me some temporary assistance." Mr. Cooke put several questions, which were answered readily, and to all appear ance satisfactorily. He said : " This is a case which I shall certainly relieve by giving something now, although only a trifle, to assist you temporarily ; but you can apply here again to-morrow, when probably more substantial relief will be given." The applicant expressed deep grati tude on being thus relieved. Last night a crowded meeting was held in the School. room, Amwell-street, Clerkenwell, to express sympathy with the sufferers from the late attempt to blow up the House of Detention. Mr. Churchwarden Wilcox was called to the chair. The Rev. R. MAGUIRE moved the first resolution: "That this meeting expresses its deep sympathy with the unfor tunate sufferers from the calamity which occurred in this parish on the 13th inst., and cordially approves the appoint ment of a committee to receive subscriptions for their aid." He said he had not time to waste in indignation. The meeting was assembled not merely for the expression of sympathy; its object was practical work. lie had organised a system by which every family that had been injured had been visited, and the extent of the damage had been ascertained. In Corporation-lane a great number of watchmakers had their tools destroyed or buried beneath the ruins by the explosion. It was proposed to set these men up in the world again. Washerwomen and mangle women also had their means of livelihood destroyed. The number of children, some of whom belonged to his Sunday school, who had been injured was very great their sufferings would touch a heart of stone. A letter which he had written to one of the morning papers had produced £4OO. But there was a necessity for further subscriptions. He had received a letter from Air. Corry, stating that the Government in giving relief to the sufferers did not wish to interfere with the efforts of private benevolence. He had, however, given him carte blanche in the meanwhile. Mr. M'CuLLAGH TORRENS, M.P., seconded the resolu tion. He had visited the hospital, and there the physician told him that the prostration of the sufferers from the thought of the loss of their homes was very great. He had authorised the doctor to assure each sufferer that he need feel no more anxiety on that score, for Finsbury would make that all right. The doctor said that such an assurance would do to the sufferers more good than all the drugs in the hospital. The Chancellor of the Exche quer had acted in a most admirable manner in coming for ward so promptly to the relief of the sufferers, and Parlia ment, there was no doubt, would confirm the course he had taken. _ _ _ Mr. Churchwarden NuNN supported the resolution. Mr. HOLLANDS moved that the word " calamity should be struck out of the resolution, and the words " traitorous and murderous crime " be inserted in its stead. The Rev. Mr. MAauruE was of the same opinion, and after some conversation the word " calamity" w as a lt ere d to " atrocious crime." A person present, amid considerable confusion, argued that it was quite unnecessary to raise subscriptions, seeing that the Government was liberally supplying all the money that the sufferers required. The resolution being put was carried almost unani mously. rue Rev. Mr. MAGUIRE then read lists of subscriptions which had been handed in to the amount of nearly £l,OOO. Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. ELLENWATER moved and w.:conded the next resolution, appointing a committee, consisting of Mr. Alderman Lusk, Mr. Torrens, the in cumbent and churchwardens of the parish, and several others, to receive subscriptions. Dr. SHEEHY supported the motion, which was carried. The Rev. Mr. THORPE moved : " That the Clerkenwell branch of the London and Co unty Bank should be the bank for the subscriptions, and that Messrs. Nunn and Wilcox should be the treasurers, and Mr. Paget (the vestry clerk) secretary to the committee." Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, which was carried. The Rev. Mr. MORESBY moved the fourth resolution: "That this meeting, having heard of the prompt and ready assistance afforded by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the sufferers by this calamity, do hereby express their, appreciation of the services thus rendered to many families and individuals under the pressing exigencies of the occa• sion." Mr. JOHNSON seconded the resolution, which was carried. The usual vote of thanks to the chairman lgought the, igeeting to a close. i Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., HERO'S W By MRS.
