~~.r~~ 4:tn3o3j 1,-(1 wishes. Though thus, however, soothed down to.the gentleness of doves, they are wise as serpents—they know the enemy with whom they have to contend, and they are wisely making their preparations for giving him the last and deadly blow. Through city and town—parish and district, the same cry is heard—all are in the field—weapon in hand, to assert their rights, and to make head against the attempted Tory domina tion. There is no exception—there is no difference of opinion —there is no chsunion—there is no secession from the common cause. The common danger has united all classes ; and, as we observed yesterday, there is but one voice respecting the intended Tory Cabinet from one end of the kingdom to the other— and that voice says, " Down with the Tories." As a proof of this assertion, we might point the attention of our readers to the numerous meetings which have been held within the last fortnight in almost every part of the metropolis—to those which are to be held his day and to-morrow, and to those which are in con templation ; but we prefer, instar omnium, to call the attention of our readers to the proceedings of the good people of Hull, not only as regards their representa tives, but as respects the present crisis. A brief ac count will be found elsewhere of the speech of Mr. Hill to his constituents, and we most specially regret that the state of our columns will not permit us to give it at length ;—for a speech more adapted to the crisis—more in unison with the public feeling—more manly, argumentative, and truth-telling, has rarely graced the columns of a newspaper. But excellent as was the speech of Mr. Hill, still more excellent if possible in every respect is the conduct of the electors of Hull. Not satisfied with a mere declaration of their opinions upon the present crisis—not content with declaring their disgust at the attempt to revive Tory domination, with whatever views or for whatever purposes, they have met, and they have resolved as follows : " 1. That the present crisis, when we are threatened with the return to power of that faction which has ever strenuously opposed all liberal measures, call upon us to use our utmost exertions, to rescue ourselves and our country from the hateful Tory domination attempted to be imposed upon us. " 2. That as it is the right of the people of England to express their disapprobation of men and measures, when they think either inimical to the interests of the nation ; it is also their duty, by electing men to be their representatives in whom they have confidence, to endeavour—legally and constitution ally--to obtain that hange in the councils of the King they consider so essential to the welfare of the country. " 3. That the recorded sentiments and avowed opinions of Matthew Davenport Hill and William Hutt, Esqrs., give them, in the opinion of this society, the strongest claim to the suffrages of the reformers of Hull. And we do, therefore, pledge ourselves to use our best exertions to procure their re election, in case the madness of the faction of Toryism should render such an event inevitable. " 4. That we, as real reformers, cheerfully hold out the right hand of fellowship to all others of our brethren in ac complishing that great work which will demand the most stre nuous exertions of all. That we adopt as our rallying cry the one proposed by the Earl of Durham—' Reform, Liberty, and the Constitution,' and that we will ' throw aside all petty dif ferences to be prepared for the coming struggle.'" For the address to which they agreed we have no room ; but the following remarks are worthy a place in our columns, as well as worthy of the imitation of all Reformers throughout the kingdom. " In this emergency," say they, "what is our course and that of the people of England ? Plainly to trust none, of whose honesty as public men we have not indubitable proofs— to return to Parliament none but those pledged to the over throw df this faction—those only who will advance Reform, and promise us, at least, household suffrage, short Parliaments, and, above all, the protection of the ballot. Such men, Re formers of Hull, we believe we have in our present representa tives, Messrs. Hill and Hutt ; and therefore, notwithstanding that your enemies and ours--the Tories—are again in the field with their influence—we pledge ourselves, and call upon you to do the same, to d o a ll in our power to return them to Par liament in the event of a dissolution. Let our cry be in the words of the Earl of Durham, Reform, Liberty, and the Constitution'—' Let us throw to the winds all dissension, and see only how we can make our cause the strongest, and our resistance the most effective.' " Let the Reformers of Hull unite I We have our example in the men of Birmingham, who have gladly merged minor details for the sake of general principles. Each party must make some sacrifice—not of principle, but of detail and per sonal feeling ; and then, by our united forces, the enemy is certain of defeat. L e t us p r o c laim war I l ega l and constitu tional war I but a war of extermination against Toryism." Nor is this all. The following document, still more worthy of imitation, is going the round of the borough, and is in course of being numerously signed. Its manly spirit requiries n o commen d at i on f rom us . " PROTECTION OF ELECTORAL RIGHTS. " We, the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, holding in abhorrence every attempt to influence voters in the exercise of their electoral rights--whe ther by intimidation or corruption, or by taking undue advan tage of our social relations—hereby declare, that in the capa city of employers or landlords, or customers of electors of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, we shall neither , directly nor indirectly, s ee k to o b tain votes, or to influence those who pos sess the suffrage, from the f u ll and free exercise thereof; but shall, witoout reservation or exception, accord to others the measure of constitutional liberty which we claim for ourselves 1" Who, after this, will say that the Liberals are to be cajoled into a trust in Tory Reformers ? Who will have the hardihood to avouch that their meetings are "farces" —that they are not in earnest--or that they will not, when circumstances demand it, act up to their profes sions? Above all, who in the face of a people so deter mined, not only against Tories, but Toryism itself, whether it assume the mask of Reform, or conceal its hideous features under the vizard of Ultraism, will hazard a conflict with them ?—Morning Advertiser. Amongst all the subjects of complaint amongst the Whigs the one which stands out most prominent is their lamentation over the defection, as they call it, of a considerable number of their men. They—Whigs too—howl and complain that on all sides their staunch adherents are, one by one —nay, two by two—drop ping off and joining the Conservative party, and ex pressing their determination to stand by the King's Government. Where is the harm, where the disgrace, where the inconsistency of this ? We honestly confess we cannot see it. It is clear that when they sup ported the Whig Ministry they supported the King's Government and therefore supported the Monarchy. The King himself, confiding in the professions of that Ministry, also supported it, and gave it proofs of Royal grace and favour from first to last, perhaps unequalled by any other occupant of the British throne. His Majesty permitted Mr. Henry Brougham to be Lord High Chancellor of England ; Mr. Thomas Denman, the sin-no-more advocate of Queen Caroline, to be His Majesty's Lord Chief Justice. These, not to speak of the ele- vation to Cabinet office of such persons as Mr. Ed-. ward Ellice and Mr. Abercromby, and the promotion of the Right Honourable Mr. Cutlar Fergusson, and all the rest of it, prove, we say, the kindness, the con fidence, and the attachment of His Majesty,—the po litical attachment we mean—to the late Ministry. What then ? What was the Ministry when the King gave it his confidence ? It consisted of Lord Grey, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Ripon, and some others. What was it when it lost the confidence 'of the coun- try; when it was di v id e d an d torn to pieces, so that Lord Melbourne could no longer keep it together ? Why, it consisted of the " some others "—Lord John Russell, the grildrig, the au thor of " Don Carlos ; " of Mr. Edward Ellice, a gentleman, as the Times said, " disreputably known in the City ;" of Mr. Abercromby, steward to his . Grace the Duke of Devonshire ; and of Sir J. Hobhouse, the be-pelted of Westminster. Is there anything like rat- tint; or tergiversation in joining or supporting the Go vernment which succeeds to this low and abominable clique ? Is the wretched assemblage of folly and in significance which three weeks since carried on the farce of sitting in Council in Downing-street, anything like the Cabinet to which the conscientious Whigs gave their support ?—No. Who found out the weak ness and the wretchedness of the remnant first? Those who honourably and conscientiously left them. And who can do better than follow the example of those men who, with an intimate knowledge of the plots and plans of their colleagues, hurried away, disgusted, from the scene of their ignorance and iniq u ity ? A man pledges himself to a Ministry in the firm belief of their good intentions, and with a con viction of their ability to work out the designs which they formed for the good of their country. He is deceived ; he finds that they are at once corrupt and incaable ; he re t rac t s , h e withdraws. Is this " flattery '—is this knavery—is this betraying ? No. Our good and gracious Monarch has himself been compelled to withdraw his countenance and protection from those very Ministers, and to call to his Councils another party of men, to check, if possible, the evils w h ich their predecessors wo u ld i nev i ta bl y h ave enta iled •e THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1834 upon us. In what respect, then, except as regards the height of station and the weight of res p ons ibili ty , does the case of the individual differ from that of the Sovereign ? We have, over and over again, said that the petty distinctions of Whig and Tory have merged in the great divisions of Conservatives and Destructives ; there are, in fact, at present but these two parties in the cou n t r y ; an d so f ar f rom tax i ng a Whig with tergiversation or ratting, because he supports the new Government, we should say that lie shows his real affection for the country by upholding the Monarch wh o , h av i ng b een b etraye d b y t h e inca pacity or evil doings of one set of Ministers, has called to his aid and councils a man from whose uprightness, ability, and integrity that country has every right to expect the most salutary and prosperous results. We speak sincerely upon this point, and we know that our feelings are responded to all over the kingdom ; nay, so strong and so general is the sentiment we express that we should not be surprised at finding amongst those who rally round the throne at the present crisis some who, until they saw the difficulties and dangers into which a rash adherence to the mad schemes of their younger days must plunge the country, were amongst the most eminent leaders of the Destructive party, recently called the Radicals. We again recur to Lord Melbourne's conversation at B r i g ht on —which the foolish Chronicle still tries to contradict ; and his Lordship's reply to his tenantry in Derbyshire. which it cannot contradict—to prove that the late Ministers have nothing to complain of—that they were not " scurvily treated "—and that they have not upon that score the slightest claim upon those who tvere their supporters. Not a shadow of a suspicion of in trigue or trickery exists as relates to their removal ; and all they can say to their friends to prevent their giving their support to their successors must be in the humbled tone of supplication. It will not avail them. We could already name scores—we speak within bounds —of men who supported Lord Grey's Government upon principle, and in the belief of its good intentions, who have already, and without the slightest dereliction of that principle, proffered their support to the Go vernment of Sir Robert Peel.—Morning Post. The conciseness of the King's answer to the Ad dress of the Common Council of London has not pleased those worthy persons, who expected a more verbose display of Royal elocution upon this important occasion. The calmness of its tone was no less dis satisfying than its brevity. It did not harmonise with the exciting demonstrations of " the crisis," to which not even a single allusion was made. This must be rather provoking to the writers and orators of " the movement," who declaim, day by day, in " Ercles' vein," about the " convulsed state of the country from one end to the other." Surely, at a time when itine rant agitators, whose matchless intrepidity of face no body ever doubted, go about from parish to parish, and from tavern to tavern (Sundays not excepted), with pallid looks and horrent hair, expressing their dread of that übiquitious monster, " general alarm," whom every body inquires about and nobody sees—surely at such a time, we say, the silence of the King's speech upon that appalling subject is itself exceedingly alarming. It is so, no doubt, to those who would throw the whole country into disturbance and confusion for selfish and factious purposes. As to the right which the Corporation of London has to address the King upon the throne, and to convey to his Majesty their opinion upon any mea sures of his Government, we regard it as a right of great importance, and one which we should be,sorry to see either abrogated or abridged. We know that there have been most important occasions in the his tory of this country when that privilege has been use fully exercised on behalf of the endangered liberties of the people. When the tyrant James 11. endeavoured to strike down the Constitution of England and the Protestant religion together, and to erect the fabric of arbitrary power and Papal ascendancy upon their ruin, he was obliged to have recourse to violent measures for the purpose of making the Corporation of London subservient to his projects, and did not succeed. So his predecessor, Charles 11., when he resolved upon calling no more Parliaments, but governing by his own arbitrary will and pleasure, commenced his career of despotism by an attack upon the chartered privileges of the citizens of London. The whole conduct of those two Monarchs, from the moment of their accession to the throne, was such as might well inspire the suspicion of the people, and call for the jealous vigilance of those public and popular bodies, which, in dangerous times, ought to be the sentinels of national liberty. How different has ever been the conduct of his present Majesty from that of Sovereigns who aimed at arbitrary power, or an unconstitutional extension of prerogative. The whole tenor of the reign of William IV. has heretofore proved that the last thought which could enter his heart would be a thought against the liberties of Englishmen. Of those liber ties he has been not only the protector, but the restorer. In personal character frank and manly—in public af fairs incapable of intrigue or dissimulation, he gave the Whig Ministers no obstruction, but instead of that, every facility in governing the count r y on what are called reform principles, until the Cabinet, having twice exploded by internal intrigue and dissension—having lost almost all that constituted its talent and respecta bility—having fallen into public suspicion and con tempt, and being threatened with dissolution from other dissensions, became incapable of inspiring confidence at home, or maintaining the interests and honour of the country abroad. If, under such circumstances, the King had not exercised his undoubted prerogative of dismissing his Ministers and seeking others, he must have appeared in the light of a Sovereign who showed himself rather indifferent to the welfare of the country. The results of repeated elections proved that the late Administration had lost the confidence of the public, and the indecent conflict between the late Lord Chancellor and Lord Durham, which was threatenec to be renewed in all personal and political bitterness upon the opening of Parliament, gave promise of in creased Ministerial confusion and embarrassment, at a time when the pressure of public business would make it most difficult to retrieve the confusion. The King having dismissed his Ministers, as he had a right to do, and having chosen others, although an acci dental circumstance 'has as yet prevented the actual formation of the Ministry, we say the Common Council had no right to interfere. The time had not yet come when the right of addressing the Throne might be constitutionally and dexterously exercised. They at tempted to dictate to the King, in the exercise of his undoubted prerogative, and thereby committed an abuse of their own important and chartered privilege. To declare, in this manner, against any individuals whom his Majesty had chosen for his public servants before the measures of their Government were known, was to pass a sentence of personal proscription. It was virtually to coerce the King in the exercise of the regal prerogative. We said at the time, and we now repeat it, that every person who knows any thing of the Constitution of England, knows that, in the exercise of lawful prerogative, his Majesty is, and ought to be, absolute. The Common Coun cil had as much right to address the Crown against his appointment of any of the Judges, who repre sent him, as the fountain of justice, in his superior Courts of Westminster Hall. We have said that the ...- King had as much right to remonstrate with the Corporation for appointing any particular individual their Lord Mayor, Recorder, Remembrancer, or other officer. The balance of the Constitution is best pre served when the Royal prerogative and popular privi leges are kept distinct, and the one does not impro perly or unnecessarily interfere with the other. Our readers know that there are no more determined oppo nents of every thing like arbitrary power than we are ; but we are no less hostile to democratic encroach ments upon the princ i pl es t h at constitute, sustain, and govern a limited Monarchy. Seeing that the address was in the nature of such encroachment, we cannot give too much credit to the Sovereign for having met it with such a mild, judicious, and temperate an swer. The Corporation should also have borne in mind that the very men whom they n ow endea voured to banish from his Majesty's Councils, as having ever opposed all reform, were men who, w h en occupying th e s itu a tion of his Majesty's Ministers, in 1829, received their warm support as the fri en d s o f civil and reli g i ous lib er ty. As to the intended mea sures of the Government, we know nothing about them ; we wait to know th em b e f ore w e approve or disapprove. We think it is not too much to expect that a Sove reign who has already given his countenance and sup port to the reform of so many abuses, will not retrace his steps because his people give him their confidence. Laconic as his Majesty's answer to the address is, it contains much meaning in its few words. The Com mon Council told the King that they could expect no correction of abuses in our social and political institu tions. His Majesty says in answer—" It has been, and ever will be, the object of my earnest solicitude to cor rect abuses, and to improve the condition of the country." That the King has spoken truth as to the past, the practical evidence is before the country. That the future will not be in a spirit con servative of hbuse, or opposed to social amelioration, the Royal word is pledged--who anticipates its violation ? We will adopt here the words of a celebrated writer on the Constitution and laws of England, who, wishing to preserve all parts of our unrivalled system of civil polity in their vigour and excellence, says—" It is our especial duty, as good subjects and good Englishmen, to reverence the Crown, and yet guard against corrupt or servile influence from those who are intrusted with its authority—to be loyal, yet free—obedient, yet in dependent—and, above every thing, to hope that we may long, very long, continue to be governed by a So vereign, who, in all those public acts that have pro ceeded from himself, hath manifested the highest veneration for the free Constitution of Britain—hath already in more than one instance remarkably strengthened its outworks, and will, therefore, never harbour a thought, or adopt a persuasion in any, the remotest, degree detrimental to public liberty." Though written under another reign, and nearly eighty years ago, we trust the applicability of the passage which we have quoted to the present Sovereign—to what lie has done for the people of England, and what he may yet be expected to do—will be universally felt and ac knowledged.—Morning Herald. In some quarters considerable impatienee is mani- fested at the duration of this ministerial interregnum, which doubtless was not at first foreseen ; and we cannot gainsay, for we have repeatedly acknowledged, the inconvenience attending the concentration, not of three or four offices, but of nearly all the powers of the Government, save only those of Chancellor, in one and the same individual. The necessity bf the case is, however, the apology for this departure from ordinary precedent—a necessity which did not exist when Mr. S. Rice held the same offices in the summer, while all his colleagues were running about the country. In the absence, however, of Sir Robert Peel, as in that of any principal performer from the scene, subordinate characters advance, and strut their respective hours. Yes terday's Times was a good deal occupied by the proceedings of Mr. Hume, Colonel Evans, Mr. Wells, Dr. Wade, and others and the Standard of last night sends out, through the opposite stage-door, Lord Kenyon, who comes forth as the writer of a letter. This Noble Lord we have always believed to be an honest and worthy man; a little hot-tempered, like many other Welchmen ; but in him this infirmity or extravagance has taken a respectable, if not in variably a quite innoxious, f orm — v i z ., th a t o f re li g i ous zeal, which in times of party violence may be apt to swell into fanaticism. The present letter of Lord Kenyon takes a high station in our Evening Contem porary, and the importance which the Standard at taches to it, rather than any which we should have.dis covered in it by our own unassisted lights, has induced us to reflect for a moment on the motives which could have led to its publication. The Noble Lord sets out with declaring, that " in political q ues ti ons h e never interferes," but that " this is a religious crisis." Moreover, the Noble Lord goes on to state, that " to those who make religion a political engine, he says nothing ; for of all created beings, hypocrites, and especially religious hypocrites, are the most hateful." Now, we do not accuse Lord Kenyon of being a hypocrite, yet no one can read his letter without the unavoidable conviction, either that the Noble Lord does unconsciously desire to make his reliious order serve the purpose of " a p o li t i ca l engine, ' or that he has taken the trouble to compose it without any object intelligible to his own mind. His Lordship proceeds—that the battle for real " Christia nity is to be fought in Ireland," and concludes along passage of his letter by asking " whether it is possible that Protestantism can continue to exist in Ireland, if a Government favourable to its support is not esta blished in England ?" He goes on to add, that the King, on being asked, " whether he would sanction a partial extinction of Protestantism in Ireland," re plied, like his sainted father, that he " WOULD DIE FIRST." For a final quotation, we insert what follows : " Shall your King, I ask, be deserted when he makes his stand ?"—(for the pure Protestant faith)—" Never; we will stand by the King." Of all this, then, we say that, for pure religious writing, it smacks rather pun gently of an adulteration of politics, and that we firmly believe its political meaning to be such, as no act of the Duke of Wellington's and Sir Robert Peel's Government will ever sanction, any more than would the measures of Lord Melbourne or of Earl Grey. However well meant, we are bound to say that this letter of Lord Kenyon, like the Ashford dinner, a few days ago, if it have any effect at all, can do nothing but mischief, by persuading the world—first, that the measures of the Duke of Wellington, in relation to church reform, will stop far short of those which were meditated by the last Cabinet and its predecessor ; and next, by assigning as the reason for such a change, the belief entertained by the Conservative Ministry, that such measures would have gone to the extinction of the Protestant religion in Ireland. It is new to us, whatever it may b e to L or d K e n yon, t h at a Tithe Commutation Bill would tend to extinguish Protest antism. It is new to us that an adjustment of the pa rochial revenues to the duties performed by the in cumbents, or that the appropriation of Dean and Chapter incomes to some more beneficial end than the support of sinecurists, would, after the expiration of ex isting interests, operate any evil to religion. We would go perhaps to the full as far, and sacrifice as much for the security of the Protestant faith, as even Lord Kenyon, or any of his religious associates. But we must tell the Noble Lord that to " make a stand" for the abuses of the ch urc h, or , i n ot h er wor d s , t o s t o p short, as his Lordship insinuates that the King designs to do, and as he further hints that his Majesty will be enabled to do by his change of Ministers, is not the way to serve religion, to strengthen the new Ministry, or to support the Crown. On the contrary, an an nouncement from any well-informed authority that the late Administration was dismissed for the sake of pro tecting the Church of Ireland by new councils, ad verse to all further progress in the course already pre pared, and partially acted on, and that the Duke of Wellington, &c., have been resorted to by His Majesty, as props of the existing establishment in all its parts, and with all its incidents, would, we are sure, be the signal for a rally, not round the King, or his conserva tive advisers—as understood by Lord Kenyon's letter— but directly against the wishes of the Sovereign and for the destruction of his government, even in embryo. It is a false way of defending the Duke of Wellington to allege that he is blind to the abuses of the church of Ireland. Whether a Cabinet such as we now anticipate may or may not be better qualified than was the last to grapple with that dreadful o r d er o f soc i al and political grievances which incessant agitation in flames, though it may not have created, is a question which time only can resolve. Brawlers on both sides may crack their voices ; but the people of England will, with their usual calm judgment, decid e according to the facts of the case. On the policy of the new government, and not on the noisy appeals of vio lent enemies, or injudicious friends, will its existence depend.— Times. AYESHA, THE MAID OF KA Rs.---To all who are acquainted with those admirable productions " Hajji Baba" and " Zohrab," a new romance, emanating from the same source, cannot fail to be highly acceptable. The scenes of this tale are entirely Oriental, and Mr. Moi ier's well-known talent in illustrating the life and manners of the natives of the East renders it unnecessary for us to say how well he has suc ceeded in the present instance. The adventu res o f a young English Nobleman in the course of his travels over Asia, give birth to the exciting events that form the narrative. " Ayesha" is the heroine ; she is the true maiden of romance. She leaves the quiet and seclusion of her father's harem ; and her destiny partakes of all those interesting dangers and vicissitudes that win the attention and charm the fancy when told by a s kilf u l novelist. The story is quite worthy the distinguished reputa tion of this writer, DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 2.—This morning between three and four o'clock, the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the Castle Mills were alarmed at a fire which broke out at an extensive steam flour-mill, situate in Rose place, be longing to J. S. Bird, Esq., and occupied by Mr. Owen, cornfactor. It appears that about twenty minutes before four o'clock as the watchman was going his rounds he perceived flames issuing from the upper windows of the mill. He immedi ately gave the alarm, and the fire-police, with Mr. Galle more at its head, together with the engines of the Norwich Union, West of England, and Imperial fire-offices, were speedily on the spot, but the flames spread with such alarming rapidity that the firemen, hopeless of saving the mill, were compelled to direct their attention to the adjoin ing property. In less than th ree quar t ers o f an h our a f ter th discovery of the fire the roof and the seven floors of the extensive premises were utterly destroyed, and the whole fell in with an awful crash, leaving nothing but a portion of the walls standing. At this _period the volumes of flame emitted from the burning pile were awfully grand, and the whole horizon was illuminated by their radience. Great fears were entertained that the high wind which prevailed would be the means of causini , the fire to spread .; but fortunately th e fi remen were able in a great measure to prevent the catastrophe, the destruction being confined to the mill, which, however, with a large and valuable steam-engine, was utterly destroyed. The stock of grain and flour on the premises was but small, but we understand that neither that nor the building were insured. The principal part of the stock destroyed beloriged to the proprietor of the windmill at the top of Scotland-road, who having more business than he could well transact in his own mill, had sent a quantity of grain to the Castle Mills to be ground. The large and valuable steam-engine with its machinery, which worked in seven departments of the mill, is entirely destroyed, and lies buried under heaps of bricks and rubbish. The utmost consternation prevailed among the poor cot tagers in the vicinity of the fire, and the streets and avenues were crowded with their furniture. Towards six o'clock the flames were in a great degree got under. At half-past seven a part of the north wall fell into the street, fortu nately without doing any damage ; but shortly afterwards the west wall unhappily fell outwards in such a direction as to destroy two cottages with the furniture they contained. We have not heard of any person having received injury in consequence of the falling of the walls. His Worship the Mayor had, however, an imminent escape, having barely time to rush into a passage, which protected him from injury. It is not known how the fire originated. The mill cost 30,0001. building. Another fire broke out at five o'clock this afternoon in Covent-garden. It commenced in the top story of a ware house occupied by Mr. Wade and others, stored with a quantity of partially damaged cotton, the property of Mr. Wade, among which the fire originated, but the immediate cause of the calamity is not at present known. The lower part of the warehouse was stored with Irish provisions, the property of Mr. Campbell. In the earlier part of the after noon 500 firkins of butter were saved. The fire occurring in the dusk of the evening, and after the hours of active bu siness, considerable alarm was excited in the neighbourhood, which is one rather crowded, and in the immediate vicinity of several of the principal merchants' offices. The adjoinine , warehouse was occupi e d b y M essrs. W. and J. Brown, th e great American house. They immediately removed the books and 16 cart loads of fine goods. The fire was subdued by 7 o'clock, and when we left the spot the building remained standing. The property we understand to have been fully in sured. The fire-police engine, No. 2, was the first on the ground, and speedily commenced operations with the most decided effect. By the active and well-directed exertions of Mr. Ballimore, the Superintendent of the fire-police, aided by the important and efficient co-operation of Mr. Whitty, of the nightly watch (whose tact and energy have displayed themselves to the most decided advantage on all occasions of this nature), the utmost order and regularity prevailed, and there cannot be a doubt that to the two officers named, and to the well-disciplined bodies under their control, the merchants and householders of Liver pool are indebted for the preservation of a large amount of property. INCENDIARY FIRES AT ROTHERHITHE THAMES POLICE OFFICE. Yesterday Palmer, the poli ceman N o . 108, R, w h o was remanded on Saturday, after a private examination before Mr. Ballantine, on a charge of wilfully setting fire to the premises of Mr. Pittman, a barge builder at Rotherhithe, on Thursday morning last, was brought up for further exa mination before Messrs. Broderip and Ballantine. The greatest interest appeared to be excited, and the office was crowded to excess by the parochial authorities, and other respectable inhabitants of Rotherhithe. Mr. Chambers, a barrister, and Mr. Warner, a solicitor, appeared to watch the case for the priioner, by order of the Commissioners of Police, and we understand that the in vestigation took place in the public office by desire of the prisoner, the Magistrates wishing to conduct the examina tion privately. Evans, the principal surveyor of Thames Police, was the first witness examined, and stated that there had been four fires and four attempted- fires during the last month, in Rotherhithe ; one fire (that in which the Europa tavern was burnt) alone being supposed to be accidental. Stephens, the inspector of the R division of police, stated that in consequence of the fires occurring so frequently at Rotherhithe, and there being every reason to believe them to be the work of incendiaries, he ordered a man to watch the premises of Mr. Pittman. On Wednesday night the prisoner Palmer was appointed to watch there, as it was in his beat. He had been a month on the same beat, and the premises of Mr. Grice, Mr. Pittman, and Mr. Davis, where attempts had been made, were on the prisoner's beat ; and Mr. Christall's, where the other incendiary attempt was discovered, was about fifty yards from it. Of the actual fires which had occurred Mr. Brooks's, of the Tunnel Com pany's premises, was alone on his beat ; but the Blue Mountain Granary, which was lately burnt, was close to it. Mr. Hartree asked him (witness) to put a man on the pre mises of Mr. Pittman, and he immediately ordered Sergeant Stapleton to send Palmer, as he knew he was well ac quainted with the premises. In answer to questions by Mr. Ballantine, Stephens said he had no other reason for putting a man to watch those Premises than that Mr. Hartree, who was a respectable inhabitant, advised him so to do, and that he never had any intimation that a fire would take place on the premises, nor did any one inform him that such would be the case. James Hambleton, a sergeant of police, stated that he ordered the prisoner to go on duty on the premises of Mr. Pittman, and to keep a good look out, and not to leave the premises. The Inspector here remarked that he never intended Palme r should have confined his attention to the premises of Mr. Pittman ; the sergeant must have misunderstood his orders. Mr. Nottingham, the vestry-clerk of Rotherhithe, pro duced a plan of the premises of Mr. Pittman, from which it appeared that they consist of a large square building of three floors, with a frontage to the river, and another to the street. On the west side of the building, and communicat ing with it, is the Standard public-house, and on the east side a passage over a common sewer going down to the river. On the ground-floor the prisoner was stationed to watch, and there was only one entrance by a trap-door to the loft above. This trap-door was locked. There was no other access to the loft where the fire was kindled from the inside of the building. If any entrance were effected it was from the exterior. Mr. Chambers inquired if there would be any difficulty in a person landing in the passage eastward of Mr. Pitt man's ? Mr. Nottingham—Not at high water. Evans was recalled, and stated that in the passage spoken of there were two doors. A water-butt was placed near one of the doors, and close to that an aperture which communicated with the lower floor, and by which any man might pass from the ground-floor to the passage, and by means of the water-cask and the door gain easy access to the loft above through an opening where the weather boards had been torn away. Any person who passed in the passage might have been seen from the lower floor. There was much rubbish about the premises. Mr. Broderip—Must a person landing in the passage necessarily pass the aperture leading to the ground-floor in getting to the loft above ? Evans--Yes ; and any person being on the ground-floor of th e b u ildi ng m i g h t h ave passed through the aperture into the passage, and climbed up by the water-cask and the door to the loft above. I have seen it done. Mr. Chambers was proceeding to cross-examine this witness when he was stopped by Mr. Broderip, who told him that the prisoner was not then on his trial. Evans then stated it to be his opinion that it was not possible for any person to enter the premises by the only way it could be supposed they were entered, without being seen by a person stationed on the ground-floor, nor was it pos sible, in his opinion, for a person to walk in the loft above without being heard by the person below. John White, foreman to Mr. Pittman, was the next witness called. He stated that he quitted the premises at half-past five o'clock on Wednesday night, and left his master there at that time. There were four half pitch barrels in the back of the loft next the street when he left the premises, but he found they had been removed to the front where the fire had been kindled on coming to work next morning. The floor was not a close floor ; in some places the joints were an inch and a half apart. It was not possible for a person to remove those barrels and kindle a fire without being heard by the person below. On the east side the lower part of the premises were not enclosed at all ; and a person land ing at high water in the passage over the sewer would be immediately on Mr. Pittman's premises. On being more particularly asked to explain this, the witness said that the opening was not above three paces from the river's edge at high water. There was an aperture in the wall above at the side of the first floor by which any person could gain admission by climbing up the outside of the building in the passage. He locked the trap-door and left they key in the counting-house on Wednesday evening ; thus cutting off all access to the floor except by the external part of the build ing. There was a great deal of timber of every description on the premises, and no one could walk over it without stumbling or making a noise. The half tar barrels weighed each 1001bs. Mr. Ballantine—Could any one roll the tar barrels over the loft without making a noise ? Witness--Most cer tainly not. Mr. Ballantine—Could any one roll a cask over the loft without being heard by a person below ? Witness—No, Sir. It was removed from the west side of the loft to the north side next the river. Mr. Ballantine—lf any person had proceeded into the loft with a light while the prisoner was watching below is it possible he could not have seen him ? Witness—l should think it impossible. In answer to other questions the witness said the second floor was filled with reeds used in breaming (heating) the bottoms of barges, but there was no access to it except through the first floor. There was no means of access from the Standard public-house to the upper floor at any time. The evidence of the witness was pursued for some time, and he made it plainly appear no one could have entered the premises while the prisoner was there without being seen or heard by him. He should think from the appear ance of the place that the fire could not have been kindled more than fifteen minutes before it was discovered. Mr. W. Hartree, senior, a respectable tradesman, stated that in consequence of the numerous fires and incendiary attempts at Rotherhithe be suggested to the Inspector Stephens the propriety of placing a policeman on Mr. Pitt man's premises, which was done. He visited the premises in company with Mr. Stokes and others about half-past eleven o'clock. The prisoner was there, and said all was right. Mr. George • Vyze, of Clarence -street, Rotherhithe, stated that he perambulated the parish on Wednesday night, and a few minutes after twelve o'clock he was pass ing Mr. Pittman's premises, when he saw the prisoner standing within the gateway, and he asked him to take a turn round the premises with him. He consented, and the prisoner, who had a lantern, showed him a light. He re mained on the building about five minutes. As they were going down the passage he heard a noise as if some one was sliding down the premises, and he said to the prisoner, who was three yards ahead, " Did you hear that." The prisoner replied, " 0, it must be the rats," but witness thought it was too much noise for rats to make. Mr. Ballantine—W hat was the noise like ? Wit ness—lt was like some one getting away, Sir. Mr. Broderip—Who was nearest the noise ? Witness —I was. Palmer was three yards from we. Joshua Judge, a Thames police surveyer, stated that he passed by Mr. Pittman's premises about half-past eleven o'clock, and saw a man, whom he believed to be the pri soner, keeping watch. About thirty minutes afterwards he passed again in his boat, and the tide was just then leaving Mr. Pittman's premises. , An old skiff was moored about ten or twelve yards from the building. Another Thames police galley passed by shortly afterwards. The tide had receded more than two hours before the fire was discovered, and no one could have got near the building in a boat. Sergeant Hambleton was here recalled, and said that he gave the prisoner a lantern, which he trimmed the night before ; but he was not certain that there was a light in the lantern when he gave it to the prisoner. Mr. Ballantine—What use was it to him without a light? Hambleton—l think it was lighted. Mr. Broderip—Do you come to the conclusion that it was lighted or not? Hambleton—l think it must have been, but I don't know. I told him he could not expect it to burn very well. Mr. Broderip expressed his surprise that the witness should give a lantern to a man on watch of which he had so bad an opinion. Richard Dalby, a Thames Police surveyor, said he was on duty in Rotherhithe, and at twenty minutes past twelve passed Mr. Pittman's premises and saw the prisoner. One of his men hailed him. After the fire it was given out that the prisoner bad said that a man had escaped by the back way, but he never mentioned that to him. Thomas Walker, a Thames Police constable, whose evi dence was received with considerable attention, deposed that he was on duty with Dalby, and passed Mr. Pittman's premises on the land side a few minutes after twelve. He looked through a crevice in the shutters and saw a lantern on a plank on the lower floor, with the front towards him, and the prisoner at the back apparently stooping, as though he was doing something with the plank. He hailed him in the usual way, " Ahoy, ahoy, there, is it all right ?" The prisoner re plied, " All's right, but I can't get the thing to burn," and he muttered some oath. Witness left him, knowing he was a policeman on duty. Shortly after two o'clock, and just before the fire broke out, he passed the premises again, and saw the prisoner at the door adjoining the Standard. He started - a little on seeing witness, and, without having challenged, said" All's right." He passed on with the sur veyor to Gillham's-court, where an incendiary fire which destroyed a cooperage occurred about a month ago. They returned to King's-stairs, and while standing their heard that a fire had been detected, and proceeded with Dalby to the spot. They afterwards heard it reported that the po liceman had said that he saw a person escaping by the back way, but he got no answer on calling to him. In conse quence of this he proceeded to the back of the premises, but could not discover the least trace of footsteps whatever in the mud, or upon the blocks or steps in front of the wharf, which must have bean the case had any one been walking about the shore ; no one, in fact, could walk over the mud without disturbing it. He also examined a large barge near the river front, but no traces a man's foot could be observed. Mr. Chambers said he wished to have the liberty to cross-examine the witness. He would ask the Beneh to allow that latitude. Mr. Ballantine said that all that Counsel usually did in such cases was to watch the investigation, and make up a defence on the evidence they heard for the trial. By courtesy questions were allowed to be put to witnesses, but it was not the rule of that office to allow doss-examinations except in cases where the Magistrates have a summary ju risdiction. Mr. Chambers said the practice was different at other police offices. Mr. Broderip said that the Learned Counsel must be aware his colleague was not trying the case, and that he would have been justified in again hearing it privately. Mr. Chambers—Am I not to be allowed to go through a regular cross-examinatio n ? Mr. Ballantine—No, 1 cannot allow it here. This is only an inquiry on behalf of the public. Mr. W. Hartree, jun., said that he perambulated the streets with others, and passed the prisoner above a dozen times between twelve and two o'clock, and received from him an assurance that " all was right." He, however, said nothing of Mr. Vyse going round the premises with him, or of a man escaping at the back. About half past two he was coming down Rotherhithe-street, when Mrs. Mathews, who resided opposite to Mr. Pittman's, gave an alarm of fire. He ran immediately to the gate, and the prisoner, who gave no alarm, followed him. He proceeded to the wharf, and on looking up at the window of the first-floor, he saw a blaze. He got up the stairs leading to the trap, which he found securely locked. Mr. Christall and him self forced the trap with a crow-bar, and entered the loft, when they discovered a fire at the north-east corner, near the window overlooking the river. A half tar-barrel had been placed on the floor, and some thin deal boards had been put over it, and a tarpaulin over all ; part of these materials were on fire, which appeared to have been first kindled in the tar-barrel. The flames were fast extending to the roof, and was only discovered just in time to prevent the whole of the premises from being consumed. His opi nion was that the fire had been kindled ten or fifteen mi nutes before be entered the loft. In answer to questions by Mr. BRODERIP the witness said that just before the alarm was given by Mrs. Mat thews Palmer was seen to come from the premises and cross the street. He did not call fire, or make any alarm. H e must have seen the reflection of the flames on the houses opposite when Mrs. Mathews called out. After the fire was extinguished the prisoner showed him the hole in the side of the wall, and said that was the place where the incen diary must have got into the loft. Mr. H. Christall, whose father's premises were fired by an incendiary on the previous night, confirmed Mr. Har tree's evidence in every particular. He did not think any one could have gained access to the premises without the knowledge of the prisoner. He saw the fire through the cracks of the floor before he broke open the trap-door. He subsequently examined the buildings, and there was every appearance of the incendiary having got up the external wall of the building from the passage, an d got through the aperture. Mrs. Matthews, who discovered and raised the alarm of fire, was next examined, and stated that in consequence of the numerous fires of late she could not sleep, and about half-past two she got up, and on pulling up the window blind discovered a fire in Mr. Pittman's. She opened the window and saw the prisoner coming from the premises and asked him if any one was there ? He said " No, not as I know of." She told him the place must be on fire. The prisoner ran across the street and looked up, and the parish Gentlemen ran down the street, and went into the premises and succeeded in putting the Are out. Mr. Broderip—You drew his attention to the fir`' Mrs. Matthews—Yes, Sir. Mr s . Mr. Broderip—And did he make no reply? Matthews—Not any that I heard of. nit Mr. Ball an ti ne —D o you mean to say t h a t he no alarm ? Mrs. Matthews--Not any at all, Sir. tbt Mr. John Matthews said he was perambulating fir ,j streets about t we l ve o ' c l oc k on t h e night in question , l :o Palmer t o ld hi m t h at some one had rowed away i e be from th e b ac k o f M r. Pittman ' s warehouse. He sw"o called out t wo or t h ree t i mes, and could not get an an" the from the m an w hi c h he thought suspicious. witne ss ' b t prisoner, and t wo firemen rowed round the premises, :pe could see no one. They left Palmer and went doll town, when some conversation took place about the fi g u 'd 2i marked with c h a lk on t h e palings of Messrs. SPe ck ; and Redman, who se prem i ses were fi red on t h e Pre" t Monday. A Mr. Jenkins said it was no doubt ele °0 half-past two, an d it was agree d upon to be par ticularly r the alert at that hour, and to this circumstance the 13 servation of half the parish may be said to be owing.
