' ' ttuary and Sec. i•At taking Agencies me SMOKE AND SOOT of FURNACES: THEIR INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC HEALTH. (From, the Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain.) The most important, perhaps, because the most cheap and accessible authority for reclaim ing the execution of the law for the protection of the subject against nuisances, for punishing particular violations of it, was vested in the Courts Leet. The statute of the view of' Frank pledge, 13 Edw. 11., directs inquiry to be made of waters turned, or stopped, or brought from their right course, and obstructions in ditches were presentable at the Leet; but the stopping up a watering-place for cattle was held_not to be presentable as a common nuisance.—(4oLit.s6 a.) The juries, commonly called "annoyance juries," impanelled to serve on Courts Leet in towns, are accustomed to perambulate their districts to judge of nuisances upon the view. But the state of this machinery will be seen in the state of' the evils which come within its jurisdiction. With all this legal strength, however, there is scarcely one town in England which we have found in a low sanitary condition, nor scarcely one village marked as the abode. of fever, that does not, present. an example of standing viola tions of the law, and of the infliction of public and_ common as well as ot private injuries, the tenementseetWeibd, streets replete with in jurious. nuisances, the streams of p u re w a t er pol luted, and the air rendered noisome. The chimneys of the *naces which darken the atmospheres, and pour out volumes of smoke and soot upon the inhabitants of populous towns, a&rd most frequent examples of the inefficiency of the local administration, and the contempt of the law for the protection of. the public against nuisances which arc specially provided for. • Most modern private Acts contain penalties on gas companies permitting their washings to con taminate streams, or using tOr steam-engines fur naces . which do not consume their own smoke. The general statute., 1 and 2 Geo. IV., c. 41, em powers the Court to award costs to the prosecu tor Of those who use such furnaces. Where the grievance, may be remedied by altering the construction of the furnace employed in the I - orking of engines by steam, the Court may make an order fin. preventing the nuisance in future.' The specific effects of an excess of smoke on the getieral health of a town population has not been distinguished, but from the comparatively high average of mortality amongst the middle classes in siutations undistinguished by confined residences, or defective drainage, or aiiy thing but an excessively suwky atmosphere; from the com paratively rapid improvement of convalescents on removal to purer atmospheres, there is strong reason to believe that the prejudicial effect is much more considerable titan is commonly ap prehended even by medical practitioners. As the smoke in Manchester and other towns be comes more dense, the vegetation declines; and even in the suburbs the more delicate species die. Besides the prejudicial effects on the health of the population by the deterioration of the quality of the air th .t is breathed, a serious effect is created by its operation as an impediment to the formation and maintenance of habits of personal and household cleanliness amongst the working classes. Even upon the middle and higher classes the nuisance of an excess of' smoke, oc casioned by ignorance and culpable carelessness, operates as a tax increasing the wear and tear of Linen and the expense of washing, to all nho live within the range of the mismanaged chim neys. In the suburbs of Manchester, for ex ample, linen will be as dirty in two or three days as it would.he even in the suburbs of London in a week. One person stated that, on the Isle of Arran, a shirt was cleaner at the end of a week's wear than at Manchester at the end of a day's. The appearance of the towns on the Sunday, when nearly all the furnaces are stopped, when there is little more than the smoke from the dwelling-houses, when everything is compara tively bright, andi the distant hills and surround ing country that ate* never visible, though the atmosphere of the town in the week-days may. be seen across it, presents nearly the appearance which such towns would assume on the working days, if the laws were duly executed, and the excessive smoke of the furnaces prevented. On inquiry of a peace-officer acting where redress is . provided for under a local Act, how it was that the dereliction of duty occurred that was visible in the dense black clouds that darkened the town, he replied that the chief' members of the 'Board were the persons whose furnace-chimneys were most in fault, and he appealed whether a trait in his condition was to be expected to pro secute his patrons? At a meeting of manufacturers and others, held at Leeds, for the suppression of the nuisance of the smoke of furnaces, and to discuss the various plans for abating it, the resolution was unani tmutsiiiy igthe adopted, smok " e th a a r t isi i n n g t t l i i .o e tn ot s )i t n e i a o m n - o e f ng t i h n i e s fires and . furnaces can be consumed, and that, too, without injury to the boilers, and with a 811011 ,, of fuel." Notice of legal proceedings bein' given against Messrs. Meux, the brewers in London, for a nuisance arising from the chim neys of two furnaces, they found that by using anthracite coal they abated the nuisance to the neighbourhood, and saved 2001. per annum. The West Midalesex Water Company, by diminish 'U.' the smoke of' their furnaces saved 1,0001. per at a lntitn. The gas companies in the city of London were indic:ed fir throwing . their refuse into the Thaimes, and compelled to dispose of it other wa.:e ; and they fiaind out that they had been guilty of waste as well as of nuisance ; and it is stated - that the whole of what was formerly cast away has now become au important article or commerce. In the rural districts the Courts Leet have ge nerally flilien into desuetude. In illustration of the feeble tenure on which they were held, I may . mention that in some instances, where it has be.. neces,ary to disallow payments of fees paid to the officers of those Courts from the poor's rates, the stewards have stated that they should hereafter discontinue the Courts; and it is probable that they did so. In the towns, Courts Leet are sometimes held, and inquest ju ries appointed; but it is objected to these bodies, and frequently to the bodies constituted under local acts, that they are usually composed of tradesmen, who attend unwillingly, and at an in convenient sacrifice of time; who can have little or no information in respect to the evils in ques t;on ; who have no arrangements to bring the evils in question before them; no time to master such information as may be brought before them casualty; little interest and scarcely ,any real responsibility imposed for ensuring any mastery of it; and neither time nor adequate means at their disposal for the removal of such evils as those in question, when they are presented to them, and proved to exist: IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE AND Pies. — Wednesday afternoon the Dutch steam-packet Bata vier, Captain Dunlop, arrived alongside the St. Ka tharine's Wharf, from Rotterdam. She brought 33 heal of cattle, nearly 30 pigs, upwards of 50 dozen of poultTy of a miscellaneous description, besides a gene ral cargo of merchandise. Among the oxen were two remarkably fine bullocks and three breeding cows, which are to be transhipped on Saturday morning for a respectable breeder in Westport, Ireland. The rattle imported yesterday were generally of a supe rior quality to those which have arrived from Hol land since the passing of the new Tariff Bill, many of them not being much inferior to the Scottish oxen. A CROWNED HEAD.—Among the incidents which served to break the monotony, and divert the attention of the crowd, when her gracious Majesty visited Stirling, was the following :—A poor insane creature, known in Stirling by the name of "Daft Pate," created great laughter by running about in a red coat and tartan trousers, with an immense crown made of painted tin upon his head. He ran hither and thither to the great diversion of the crowd ; but the con stables, thinking, perhaps, that his painted crown was intended as a burlesque upon Royalty, caused it to be removed from his head. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN IN THE FORMATION OF RAiLROADS.—The Moniteur des Chemins de Fer says, one will remark with astonishment that nearly one-half of the labourers employed on the Vendre Railroad are females, who are preferred by the con tractors to men for works of importance on account of country that the their superir docility, strength, and courage. The of Liege has this particularity , fe males undertake all those works which require supe rior skill and application that in other countries am IT served for men. ACCIDENT TO MR. HARDINGE.—We are happy to state that Mr. Hardings, son of Sir H. Hardinge, who met with so serious an accident at Hungerford Wharf a few days since, is going on most favourably. PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE SIXTEENTH REGIMENT. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY EvENINo.--I--The impos ing ceremony of presenting this gallant corps with new colours took place this afternoon on Southsea common, in the presence of a vast assemblage of per sons, who had come from all parts of the county to witness it. to o iplsmpoei theydour f e rer n is‘ t ,r‘: vm. l aeh i et a rea : etd:h i endab g gei ydrl formedieb:;oeueeruneetasbt for three r over e nohti ;sus Richard ceeernrstdat Lieutenant-Colonel C. wns. centreigqoauli jioTaaonirrh:ees) tbt e jeetly.:;‘.‘llloaheefelov wasarr nGnecgo Gosport, d j Campbell: The Rev. Gentleman elcquently then addressed the regiment. 7." The prowess of your corp:.," he said, "will never be forgotten, when O u d enar d e , or Ramil lies, or Blenheim is r emem b ered. There are those truly .who will ever rou se th emselves, and think w i th honest pride how fields were won, as often as they hear the name of Wellington. But can Marlborough ever pass into oblivion ! Yet with Marlborough the old 16th earned many an unfading wreath, while they assisted in laying the basis of that renown upon which ' the superstructure of England's modern glory has been so nobly raised. Allow me, however, again to remind you, that, this your- reOksmition of Him who giveth the victory will most redound to the honour of your corps. Oh, never let it be supposed, my gallant friends, that the profession of arms and the acknowledgment of God are incompatible. Away with the absurd, I had almost said the impious thought, that the worst men make the best soldiers. Is it pos sible that want of principle can give courage, or a reckless disregard of all that is moral and holy invi gorate the mind for duty, or nerve the arm in the day of battle ? Believe me, gallant men, sound principles and good morals, combined with reverence for God and his laws, will best support you in the hour . of trial, or uphold you in the honourable discharge of your duties." The Rev. Gentleman then offered up prayer, after which Ensigns E. F. and H. A. Macdonald received the colours kneeling from Lady Pakenham, who pro nounced a brief eulogium on the gallantry of the regiment. General Sir H. Pakenhani then (in the absence of the Colonel, Lord Beresford) addressed the commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell. He adverted to the advantage of numbering of the regiments, that " thus a regiment never dies ; its ranks may be.thinned in action; its strength may be reduced by climate, but the number always remains, and by this clue we may trace with unerring accu racy how regiments have availed themselves of the opportunities afforded them of obtaining di s ti nc ti on i n the former course of their service.'' The 16th had been at Blenheim, Oudenarde, Malplaquet, Dettingen, and Fontenoy. • In reply, Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell remarked —" More than half a century.has now elapsed since this old corps had the good fortune to front an enemy in the field. During this eventful period —a period into which mighty images are crowded, all more or less allied to ou r d u ti es and professions.—many B r iti s h regiments hav e b een f av oured with an opportunity o f winning ho nour an d reno wn ; not so the 16th, w h ose destiny seems to have been shadowed with the gloom of comparative obscurity ever since the memorable day very day h e was spea ki ng ), when the regiment l a id (by a curious coincidence just 63 years ago the down their arms upon the glacis of Baton Icouge." The officers of the regiment afterwards gave a splendid dejeuner, served by Gunter, to. a numerous party of fashionables, among whom were Lord and Lady Aylesbury, Lord and Lady Errol, General Sir Edward a n d L a d y H arco urt Paget, Lady Poulett, Lady d e R o t ten b urg, L or d an d Lady W.

This evening there is to be a ball, to which between 400 and 500 persons are invited. WOOL V1T1614, t r iiljiiiD AY. The Royal George Yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclaren2e, G.C.11., arrived at Woolwich at half past two o'clock to-d_ay, towed by the African steam vessel. The Royal Y ac h t has been moored opposite the Dock-yard, with her head down the river, exactly in the said spot and manner in which she was moored at the moment of her Majesty's embarkation for Scotland. The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master-Com mander Thomas Laen, left Woolwich, on Tuesday, with Lady Stuart de Rothsay and family, for St. Petersburgh. It was expected Lord Stuart de Roth say would join the vessel. The Salamander steam.-vessel, Commander A. S. Hamond, is under orders to proceed with Sir Henr Innes to Rio Janeiro, in South America. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander George Snell, is expected to proceed in a few days with Lord Wilton to Hamburgh. The Fearless steam-vessel, Captain Frederick Bul lock, sailed to-day for Ramsgate. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master William Bryat, went down the river yesterday with several scientific persons on board, to ascertain the state of Mr. Bushe's Caisson on the G3odwin Sands. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have caused a very handsome silver medal to be struck, to be presented as rewards to engineers of the first class serving in her Majesty's navy, who by their good conduct and ability deserve some espec i a l mar k o f notice, and as an inducement t o all t h e mem b ers o f that rank to strive to obtain this highly creditable token of their Lordships' approbation. The medal as a work of art is of a superior description, and the em blematical devices of an elega n t, yet chaste descrip tion. The intrinsic value of the silver must be fully 55., as, although a small degree less in size than a five-shilling piece, the medal appears thicker, and con trasts strangely with the app earance o f th e S u lt an ' s medals issued to the officers and men o f th e R oya l Navy and Roy al Marines, being equal in quantity of ers, and of the value of 1 20 of th ose i ssue d t o th e men of the various corps which served in Sy r i a . This medal tan's issued to the offi metal to about three of the Sul for first-class engineers is the first of a series about to be issued to the most deserving of that important class of men, on whose ability, exertion, and careful services, so much of the efficiency of th e steam navy one side of the medal is engraved, on th e ou t er c i rc l e, on a frosted ground, " Mr. William Shaw, first-class of Great Britain in a great meas ure depen d s. O n engineer, 1842," and on an inner circle the following letters have been cut in the die, " For ability and good conduct," surrounding a neatly_e m b osse d fi gure of an anchor on a polished surface. On the reverse is a beautiful figure of a steam-vessel with the steam up, richly and tastefully embossed on a polished ground, with a representation of the Water, on which she appears to be sailing, formed of frosted silver, having an excellent contrast and very Pleasing effect. Underneath is a figure representing. the head of Nep tune's trident, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves with acorns. Mr. William haw, who has so distin guished himself as to be the first to obtaln this testi mony of their Lordship's approbation, earned the envious distinction when serving under Commander George W. Smith, then Lieutenant of the Tartarus steam-vessel, on the West Indian and North Ame • rican station. . .

Thompson, a young engineer in Mr. Lyon's employment.•--C'orre• spondent of a Scotch Paper. Wzmoson, THURSDAY.--Four beautiful Spanish en tire horses arrived at Windsor yesterday morning as presents from Isabella 11. of Spain to her Majesty. These horses reached this country shortly after her Majesty had left for Scotland, and were landed at Woolwich, where they remained till yesterday morn ing, when they were taken to Paddington, and con veyed from thence to Slough by the Great Western Railway, under the care of four grooms who arrived with them from Spain, and a superintendent holding the rank of Captain in the Spanish service. Yester day afternoon, at two o'clock, shortly after their arri val, they were taken by the Spanish grooms to thQ new Riding-house, where they were seen by her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, who were attended by Major-General Wemyss (her Majesty's Equerry) and Colonel Bouverie (Equerry to the Prince). The horses having been shown to her Majesty, were after wards ridden by the Royal Equerries, and subse quently by Mr. Myers, Prince Albert's riding-mas ter, by whom they were put through their various paces. Her Majesty having made a selection Of two for her own use, presented the others to her Illustrious Con sort. One of those retained by the Queen is a beau tifully marked skew-hall, standing 14 hands high, and six years old. The other is a well-formed cream-co loured horse of the same height, and rising seven years old. The tails of these two animals reach to within an inch of the ground, and are perfect curiosities from their extraordinary size and extreme fullness. The horses presented by the Queen to his Royal Highness (one a bay and the other a brown) are both aged, and of the same height—about 15 hands. These have enormously large tails (compared with the great ma jority of horses of the English breed), but they are not nearly of the size of the other two. The manes of the four are very full and long, flowing to the length of upwards of 14 inches over either side of their necks. Their heads and necks are peculiarly large and full, very much resembling the horses of Flanders and those bred in the Low Countries. PRESENT TO THE QUEEN. We have great pleasure in recording the following pleasing instance of her Majesty's considerate regard to a class of her subjects, who, although denied the gratification which so many thousands of her people enjoyed, of seeing her Majesty in her Royal progress in Scotland, and of witnessing the splendour and magnificence of her Majesty's reception, are never theless animated by as devoted a loyalty to their beloved Queen, and have felt as cordial an interest in all that they have heard of her Majesty's visit to Scot land, as any of the subjects of the realm. The inmates of the Glasgow Asylum for the Blind, on hearing of the Queen's intention to visit Scotland, prepared in their own quiet way, under the direction of the matron and her assistant, an offering for her Majesty, which was transmitted by Mr. Alston, the honorary Trea surer, to Lady Belhaven, who takes an active and benevolent interest in the histitution, and was pre sented by her to the Queen, when her Majesty was at Taymouth Castle. The present consisted of a beautiful hassock, knitted with silk and worsted, gracefully fringed, and lined with satin, and intended for a sofa pillow. The hassock was accompanied with several other ingenious specimens of the workmanship of the blind, including a pretty play-ball for the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept the present, and expressed her ad miration of the taste displayed in the workmanship, by c commissioning four more hassocks of the same de scription to be made for her Majesty; and we are de lighted to add that her Majesty, by way of marking her sense of the feeling which prompted this °tiering on the part of the blind, was graciously pleased to transmit, through Lady Belhaven, the sum of ten pounds for the Glasgow Asylum for the Blind. At the same time, her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland requested Lady Belhaven to order three hassocks, of exactly the same kind as had be en p resen t e d to her Majesty, to be made for her Grace. We are also in formed that Lady Campbell, the amiable lady of the Lord Provost, has commissioned two,of the Queen's hassocks.—Edinbiergh Paper. THE BREADALBANE FAMILY. The present Marquis of Breadalbane is descended from Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy, a younger son of the first ennobled person of the house of Campbell ; he was one of the Knights of Rhodes, subsequently designate ;1 of Malta. The fourth in descent from this warrior, also named Sir Colin Campbell, of Glenorchy, built the original house, the name of which was till a recent period Balloch, that is bealoch, a mouth or gap, expressive of the situation of the man sion at the opening of the valley of the Tay. In 1681, Sir John Campbell of Glenorchy was raised to the peerage by the title of Earl :of Breadalbane. He had married, in 1657, Lady Mary Rich, daughter of the Earl of Holland, the celebrated founder of Holland House, at Kensington. This young lady having a fortune of ten thousand pounds, was esteemed one of the most desirable matches of her time. When Sir John Campbell, out of innumerable suitors, suc ceeded in gaining her hand, he retired with her to his Perthshire fastrpss in a truly primitive fashion. Upon one of the two Highland ponies which he had taken with him to London, he himself mounted, with his bride behind him ; upon the other he disposed his ten thousand pounds, which was all in gold, and at each side of that precious horse-load he dis posed a full-armed Highland gilly, who ran beside it as a guard. The strange cavalcade arrived safe in all its parts at Balloch : and a small room used to be shown in that old castle, which, for some time, formed at once the parlour and bed-room of the' happy pair. This gentleman possessed great natural talents, which, with his rank and fortune, gave him considerable political im portance. It was to him, after the rebellion of Viscount Dundee arinst the Revolution settlement, that the Ministers of King William entrusted the sum of 20,0001. for the purpose of purchasing the peace of the disaffected Highland chiefs. His answer, when afterwards called upon for an account of the disposal of the money, is yet remembered :—" Gentlemen— the money is spent, the Highlands are at peace, and that is the only way of accounting among friends." In 1716, when advanced to his eighty-first year, he was described by Mackay, a Government spy, in these words :—" He has the gravity of a Spaniard, is as cunning as a fox, wise as a serpent, and slippery as an eel." The late John, fourth Earl of Breadalbane, was created a British Marquis at the coronation of William IV., in 1831. RATING THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. CORSIIAM, SEPT. 21 —The long -expected decision of the Magistrates in this case was given at the Petty Sessions held here this day. Mr. Saund ers , th e Se cretary, Mr. Knapp, the Solicitor to the Company, Mr. G. Goldney, and several other parties interested in the decision, were 'present. Mr. Clutterbuck, the Chairman, regretted that Sir J. Awdry, who had taken very great pains, and had gone into a variety of calculation's to enable him to come to a fair and just conclusion, was not present. At a private meeting of the Justices, Sir John had stated to them his reasons and calculations, in which the other Magistrates entirely concurred, and they had accordingly come to the conclusion of adopt ing the principles laid down by Lord Den man at the late contested case in the ourt of Queen's Bench, but reducing the sum at which the Company were assessed from 1,4501. to 9001. per mile. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Saunders thanked the bench for the trouble they had taken, though the latter, with due submis sion, thought it a very unsatisfactory result, and re quested permission to see the calculations of Sir J. Awdry. This was of course thought likely to open the whole question again, and therefore could not be com plied with, without the consent of Sir John Awdry; but the Chairman would make the application if Mr. Saunders wished it. The decision now given was, however, final, as far as the Magistrates were concerned. Mr. Saunders then applied for expenses, which he thought ought to be allowQd, more especially as the reduction from 1,4501. to 9001. per mile was so very considerable. He would not, he said, press the ques tion, had it not been for the monstrous effort made by the parish to rate them so high. Mr. G. Goldney ob served in reply to the latter remark of Mr. S., that he had gone again and again through his figures, had furnished Mr. Saunders with them, and conscien tiously believed his calculations to be correct. The Bench thought each party ought to pay their own expenses. The rate was then amended. Nothing was said of an appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench, which must be made within five days. REAL CHARACTER.—MorIand, author of Le Ca prieeuse, was in a box of the theatre during the first representation of that comedy. The pit loudly ex pressing disapprobation at the extravagance and im• probability of some traits in this character, the author became impatient. He put his head out of the box, and called, "Know, gentlemen, this is the very picture of my mother-in-law. What do you say now ?" I On Saturday se'nnight, about twelve o'clock, two labouring me n , w h o were ra ther groggy at the time, were coming out of the Magpie public-house, at Whittington, when they observed a couple of men, with long frocks,, ride by, having neither saddles nor bridles, but g u idi ng th eir h orses w ith h a lt ers . Being primed for a good spree, one of the labourers called out to the horsemen, " I shouldn't wonder but you've stolen them horses." The riders made no reply, but instantly galloped off as quickly as they could. This at once aroused the suspicions of the labourers, and they pursued them, calling out " Stop thief!" In de scending the hill they kept up well with the fugitives, but lost ground again in rising the opposite ascent. At this juncture they saw a man coming in the oppo site direction, and called out to him to stop the lorsemen. No sooner did the latter perceive that they were likely to be captured than they dis mounted, jumped over the walls at the 'road side, and scampered off, being soon lost in the dark ness. The labourers immediately took the horses which they had so unexpectedly captured to the stables of IVIr. Cupit, a neighbouring farmer, for whom they work. Next day one of the animals, a black cart mare, was discovered to have been stolen 'from the premises of Mr. Cox, of Calow; and the other, a three-year-old, was found to be the property of Mr. Biggin, of Chesterfield. Mr. Cox's son called at Wittington, in the course of the morning, having traced the footmarks of the mare towards that place, on account of the peculiar form of one of its shoes; and was equally surprised and gratified to recover it, and to learn the manner of its recapture. Mr. Cox, sen., had observed two men answering to the descrip tion of the fugitives strolling near his premises on the Saturday evening. On learning the manner in which the animals had been recaptured, he generously presented the labourers with half a sovereign, and promised to use his utmost exertions to induce the Chesterfield Association for the Prosecution of Felons (of which he is a member), at their next meeting, to reward them further, for the zeal and determination they evincel in the affair.—Shetrield Iris. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. CHATHAM, SEPT. 22.—Last night, about 10 o'clock, as one of the parish watchmen was going his rounds, his attention was directed to an unusual quan tity of smoke issuing from the back part o f th e premises occ u pi e d by 'Mr. Coster, plumber, painter, and glazier, Hi g h- street, Chatham. Feeling per suaded that the house was on fire, he knocked at the door, but finding no one answered, immediately alarmed the neighbourhood, and the shop door was soon burst open ; the air having been thus admitted, the whole house was soon in one body of fire. The flames extending rapidly, threatened destruction to all around ; and from the many combustibles on the premises used in the trade, the scene became terrific and grand ; every minute volumes of flames were thrown up to a very considerable height ; fortunately the night was calm, or the damage would have been most extensive and calamitous, as upwards of a dozen small tenements, inhabited by poor people, abutted the premises in rear of the fire, not one being injured. The Kent county engine was first on the spot, and was soon followed by another, belonging to the Royal Marines, and one also fr om th e R oya l d oc k yard, manned by the third division of the Dockyard police, under the superintendence of Lieut. 'Wise. Several others, with the Sun engine, followed in rapid suc cession ; but owing to the want of water, they were rendered useless until a supply was furnished, brought in beer barrels on drays, from the brewery establish ments of Mr. John Best, Messrs. John and Michael Lock's, and from Mr. Bulk's, at Rochester. A sup ply of water having been thus obtained enabled the engines to work with the greatest effect for nearly three hours. The fire having strong hold, seemed to bid defiance to the streams of water poured upon it, and the flames soon extended themselves right and left. The premises occupied by Mr. Cooper, boot and shoe maker, are very considerably damaged, his stock and furniture not being insured. Two of Mr. Cooper's children were taken out of bed, at the top of, the house, by a ladder, and safely conveyed to a neighbouring house. A widow lady, named Ar lidge, lodged in the h ouse , an d escaped unhurt, but she has suffered severely in the loss of property; she also is not insured. By one o'clock the fire was so far got under as to allay all danger. The fire is sup posed to have originated in the back parlour, as it is stated by Mr. Coster that when he left his residence, about nine o'clock in the evening, with his brother, there was a small portion of fire left in the stove, with some shavings near, and a cat lying on them, but how the fire originated no one can tell. Some of the neighbours state that the fire originated in the workshop. Mrs. Coster and her two children were from home, attending the exhibition of Price and Powell's Circus. Mr. Coster's stock and furniture are insured in the Royal Exchange. The four houses partly destroyed are insured in the Kent. The inha bitants cannot bestow too much praise on the good conduct exhibited by the military on this as on all other similar occurrences. FATAL DUEL IN SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 14.—The Madrid journals teem with accounts of, and commentaries upon, a fatal duel which took place within f our l eagues of Cadiz, between the political chief of that city, a M. Riesch, and a M. Llorente, the principal editor of the Globe newspaper, also of the same place, on the Bth inst. The origin of this affray appears to have been a fine imposed upon the newspaper in question, for refusing to insert a communication addressed to it by the corporation of Cichlanu, in consequence of some remarks made upon that corporation by the editors. The parties seemed to have fired several shots first without effect, when it was decided by lot which would fire at the other at close distance. The lot fell to Llorente, who fired, the ball passing through his antagonist's chest. The latter was found the next morning with a loaded pistol grasped in his hand; the other discharged, by which he was shot, and the coin which decided his fate, were also found upon the ground. Llorente and his friends are said to have taken refuge on board a French frigate in the Bay of Cadiz. In the evening the mob of Cadiz attacked and de stroyed the office of the Globe newspaper. On the calling out of the National Guards the mob dispersed, and the city was perfectly tranquil on the post of to-day coming off. The Opposition journals here treat the affair as if the Government were to blame in the transaction. The concluding sentence of the Heraldo's homily of this evening upon the event will give you an idea of the spirit in which the subject is discussed :—" We live," says the Heraldo, " under the dominion of villainy and of violence. The ex piation of crimes like these is not to be expected in days like these! " The Patriota gives the other view of - the case :—" A superior agent of the Government, the first civil and military authority of Cadiz, has been vilely and barbarously assassinated."

For this species of " acco mmodation" the modest B on if ace th e very moderate he wa s c h arge d b y sum of only half-a-sovereign p er night. A story is told of George 1., who, stopp i n g t o breakfast one morning at a road side inn in Ger many, was charged a gu i ne a for a new-laid egg.
