CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been in some mea sure influenced by the effect of the disastrous fire ghat has taken place in Tooley-street. The dealings in tea have been limited owing to the near approach of the public sales. Sugars have been in moderate request, without however any change of importance to note in prices. Coffee. rice, and spices have been in limited demand, and little alteration can be re corded in the value of saltpetre. Tallow has been dull, but the destruction of a large supply at the fire in the Borough has caused a slight advance in the quotations. P.Y.C. on the spot being 535. 9d. to Ms.. and last three months delivery 51s. 9d. to 525. per cwt. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Mackay and Road, held yesterday, the balance-sheet pre- Rented showed , liabilities at £16,150, with assets at £ 4 , 9 59 ; it was resolved to appoint a committee of investigation who will report the best plan to be pursued at a future meeting. There was more demand for cotton at Liverpool Yesterday ; the sales exceeded 10,000 bales, 2,000 of which were for export and on speculation and last Friday's quotations were firmly supported. A further addition of £20,000 in gold was made to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England yesterday. There is a quiet demand for money in the Dis count Market, and the rates continue steady. On the Stock Exchange, however, there was an aug mented inquiry for advances, and the quotations range from 6 to 61 per cent. The market for Public Securities is extremely de pressed inconsequence of the continuance of specu lative sales, and the expectation that supplies of money stock willemanate from the insurance offices to provide for the claims arising out of the fire in Tooley-street. Consols have, consequently, re ceded to 89} I for transfer, and 89i- for the ac count, being 3 per cent. lower than they were on Saturday afternoon. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have receded to 881 d ; the 5 per Cent. India Loan brought 981 -I; and India Bonds, 20s. to 12s. dis. ; Exchequer Bills are 9s. ; and the June ditto, 3s. dis. to par. Scarcely any business has been transacted to-day in the Foreign Stock Market. Russian 5 per Cents., however, realise 1021 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents., 861; Turkish Bonds are flat; the Old 6 per Cents, being 71 to 71+ ; the Loan of 1858, 55,1 to 551 ; and the 4 per Cents, Guaranteed, 1001 I. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been extremely limited, and prices have shown no change of importance. Midlands, how ever, improved about ss. The other lines dealt in brought former prices. The Foreign and Colonial lines continued in active, without any material alteration. Grand Trunk of Canada, however, declined 10s. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares have been inactive. Bank of Australasia improved to 61, Oriental Bank realised 461, Peninsular and Orien tal Steam, 67; and Scottish Australian Investment, 128. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent.

DEATH OF LORD ABINGER. The death of Lord Abinger, brother-in-law of the late Lord Campbell, took place yesterday at Abinger Hall, near Dorking, Surrey, in the 67th year of his age. He is succeeded by his only son, Lieut.-Colonel W. F. Scarlett, Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards. IMPERIAL PA RLIA ME NT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat• ma the woolsack at 4 o'clock. Lord REDESDALE, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Earl of Egremont's Estate, Manchester and Milford Railway (Aberystwith Branch), Dublin Corporation Water, South Wales Mineral Railway, Leven and East of Fife Rail way, Parsonstown and Portumna - bridge Railway, Atkinson's Trust Estate ; Liverpool Cemetery ; Kingston Water, Galashiels and Peebles Railway, Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway. The following bills were read a third time and passed :—Cheshire and Midland Railway; London and North-Western Railway (Chester and Holyhead) Railway, Thames Haven Dock (Abandonment), Westminster Improvements, Marlborough Railway, Barns ley Coal Railway, London and North-Western, Lancashire and Carlisle, and Caledonian Railways ; and Penrith Har bour, Dock, and Railway. be continued, and the sum so raised be appropriated to the embankment of the Thames. The bill declares that such should be the case, and he hoped it would meet with the approval of Parliament. Lord J. MANNERS supported the bill. Mr. WILLIAMS said without doubt the Thames ought to be embanked, but then he did not think it ought to be carried out by the very objectionable means of a tax levied on coal. He hoped the great improvement would be carried out, and that it would not be limited to one side of the river —(hear, hear)—but it might be effected in some other way than that proposed by the bill. Ihe corporation lent, in years gone by, £700,000 to Charles IL, of which he never repaid one farthing, but gave power to the corporation to levy a fourpenny duty on coal. The £700,000 had been repaid some 70 years ago, but the tax had been continued up to the present day. He should feel it his duty, when they came to that part of the bill which gave the City the power to continue the tax, to move an amendment to terminate such an arrangement. Mr. LOCKE could not see why the City of London should have such a sum as £11,500 presented to them as an annual gift, and for that reason he should support the proposition of his hon. friend the member for the Tower Hamlets. Mr- NORRIS could not agree with the hon. member who had just sat down that the bill had any such object as he attributed, lie should therefore vote for going into committee. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS said no one who for an in stant contemplated the objects of this bill could doubt its necessity, for certainly unless sonic inventive genius could devise some means of floatinc , vehicles in the air the embankment of the Thames appeared the only (Ala means of providing increased accommodation for the enor mous traffic. He supported the bill. The corporation of London, whenever it became necessary, would be enabled to rebuild Blackfriars-bridge without taking a single penny of the coal tax for the purpose. The fund out of which it would be effected would be the Bridge-house estate fund. Lord FER NI.OY thought the coal dues could not be ap propriated to a better object than embanking the Thames. Alderman COPELAND said he would only make a few remarks on the subject before the house. The city had always exercised the greatest care in expending the sums committed to their charge. The corporation received a re venue of £5,000 from Old Fleet-market, and although the constructing of Farringdon-market has proved a failure, no blame was to be attached to the corporation for such an event. The city had pledged its credit for the cost of constructing the new cattle market and new Cannon-street, and in doing so they had expended in the various improvements nearly £340,000 more than their receipts. There would still exist, supposing the new improvements were carried out, great demands upon the city, for assuredly as soon as the Thames embankment was constructed a new street from thence to the Bank of England would have to be made.

Lord LYTTE LTON gave notice that he should move this day week that their lordships should go into committee of the whole house to consider the details of this bill. He dis sented from the policy of some of the improvements made by the select committee. He felt it his duty to endeavour to reverse them. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY supported the pro posed additions to the bill. After some remarks from Lord OVERSTONE, the subject dropped. RAILWAY COMPANY MORTGAGES TRANSFER (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord liINNAIRD moved that this bill be read a third time. The Duke of MONTR OSE moved a verbal amendment, and after some discussion the bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. THE EDINBURGH ASSESSMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported to the house. PUBLIC OFFICES EXTENSION BILL. The report of the amendments on this bill were brought up and agreed to. EXCISE AND STAMPS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. OFFICERS OF THE ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE. The Duke of SOMERSET moved for a copy of the regulations under which masters or mates of merchant vessels may be enrolled as officers of the Royal Naval Reserve. He said that there were some misconceptions in reference to the subject. He con sidered that it was indispensably necessary that the State should be provided with a sufficient number of men to meet the requirements of the service. There were only 25 lieutenants on the reserve list ; but there were 309 admirals on that list, and 100 admirals were now on active service. There were 774 captains on the retired list, and the amount altogether paid for the naval reserve was £346,000 a-year. Difficulties that might arise from the necessity of pro moting officers might be remedied by the introduction into the Royal Navy of officers of mer cantile marine. It had been objected that offi cers brought up in the mercantile marine service would not feel disposed to enter the Royal Navy in the time of peace, when there was no prospect of promotion, but that they would enter the service in the time of war. He believed that the promotion of this class of men would shortly undergo a consid arable improvement, and the result would be that the Royal Navy would eventually be recruited to a considerable extent from the merchant service. He trusted their lordships would consider, under these circum stances, that there were grounds for promoting the further progress of the bill introduced into their lordships' house on this subject. Lord COLCHESTER made a few remarks. The Earl of DERBY asked the noble duke whether he proposed to promote the officers drawn from the merchant service beyond the rank of lieutenants, and whether he would not extend that promotion to the rank of captain? The Duke of SOMERSET said they would be entitled to continuous promotions, and to honorary rank, but they would not be entitled to pay or be called for active service. Ths motion was then agreed to, and their lordships adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tars DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Conway and Llanrwst Railway (New Title) ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Lease of Margate Railway, &c.) ; Margate Roilway (Ramsgate Extension, &c.) ; Stourbridge Railway (Extension to Smethwick, &c.) ; West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway (Traffic, &c.) The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Mold and Denbigh junction Railway ; North London Railway (Branch to the City) ; North Lon don Railway (Widening) ; Somerset Central Railway. LONDON COAL AND WINE DUTIES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the - 17ondon Coal and Wine Dues Continuance Bill, Mr. AYRTON rose and moved, " That it be an instruc tion to the committee on the bill that they have power to make provision in the bill for continuing the fund provided by sections 2 and 5 of the Act 11 Geo. 4, c. 64, and for pay ing the proceeds thereof to the account to be opened under the bill ; that it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to make provision in the bill for transfer ring to the Metropolitan Board of Works the lands, tenements, and hereditaments called the Bridge House Estates, now vested in the mayor, commonalty, and citizens of the City of London, subject to any trust affecting the same, and any charges thereon, and for paying the surplus income thereof to the account to be opened under the bill. That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to make provision in the bill for transferring to the Metropolitan Board of Works all lands, tenements, and hereditaments now vested in the mayor, commonalty, and citizens of the City of London under any statute for making improvements within the metropolis (except mar kets), subject to the trusts affecting the same, and the re payment of any moneys raised by the said corporationande r such statutes, and thereby charged on such lands, tene ments, and hereditaments, and for transferring to the Metropolitan Board of Works all the powers conferred by such statutes on the said corporation. That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to make provision in the bill for the pament of the metage dues on grain, fruit, wares, or merchandise received by the mayor, commonalty, and citizens of the city of London, to the ac count to be opened under the bill. That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to make provision in the bill for payment by the conservators of the river Thames of the surplus of the annual income received by them to the account to be opened under the bill. The hon. gentlemen entered at length into the whole question, and said it resolved itself into whether the house wished to give the corporation of the City of London the coal dues, instead of retaining them for purposes to which it had been applied for the last two hundred years. The origin of the fund was to rebuild the City of London after the great fire in 1666. He then entered into an elaborate description of the corporation fund, and said the whole case resolved itself on the question, as he had said before, of giving the whole of the funds to the City, totally disregard ing the circumstances under which it was raised. He con tended that the inhabitants at large, having paid off the debts which the corporation fund was orginally intended to meet, were entitled to full benefit of the redemp tion. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. The LORD MAYOR said it would be impossible to go into the different historical facts alluded to by the hon ourable member. The city of London was not so much affected by the bill has had been represented, but the real question was should certain important metropolitan improvements be made for which there was no official fund out of which the expenses could be liquidated. The city was not interested to the extent the hon. gentleman wished the house to believe. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the hon. gentleman the member for the Tower H amlets had addressed to t h e h ou se a long series of complaints respecting himself, as the only indivi dual intere s t e d for the public good, and accusing others of having entered i n t o a conspiray, c 11 principal delinquents being the Corp ora ti on of London and e the embers of her Majesty's Government. The principal accusation against the Government was that they had not brought in the bill at an e ar li er period of the session, and also that they had fixed it for a morning sitting, which was a perfect invasion of the freedom of debate, and an arrangement to prevent them being fully heat d. Now, he did not think there was anything out of the ordinary course to bring such a bill as the present on before the house at a morning sitting, and therefore that disposed of that part of the honourable gentleman's speech. The bill was not as had been represented, a job; it was founded on the report of the select committee which sat last year, which recommended that the Thames embankment should be constructed out of the fund raised as coal dues, and the mea sure was to g i v e effect to that recommend a ti on. (Hear, hear.) He would not attempt to follow the hon. gentleman in his antique disquisition on the coal duties. The real quebtiQA to decide was whether the coal dues PllOlll4l The announcement was received with some laughter • Mr. AYRTON said, after the expression of opinion that his proposals should not be entertained, he would not trouble the house to proceed further with them. The other propositions were then put to the house and negatived without a division. The house then went into committee on the bill—Mr: MASSEY in the chair. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2 being put, Mr. MOWBRAY proposed to reduce the coal duty from 13d. to Bd. He therefore moved an amendment striking off the penny allowed for the building of the Coal Exchange altogether, and also that the duty be then reduced from ls. for 10 years to Bd. for 15 years. Sir G. LEWIS thought the pressure of the coal dues was not so strong as had been represented. The preposition was to reduce the duty received for metropolitan improve ments. The sd. tax, which would remain after the pro• posed alteration, would produce about £90,000, while the 9d. tax produced £160,000, the sum received being about £150,000. Supposing the £90,000 were deuucted from that amount, he did not think there would be sufficient funds left to proceed with the great improvement. He therefore could not support the amend ment. Mr. LOCKE thought the hon. member's anxiety to serve his constituents in Durham had led him to propose the amendment. He, however, as a metropolitan member, could not accept such a proposition. Lord J. MANNERS advised his hon. friend to with. draw his amendment. Mr. MOWBRAY acceded to the request of the noble lord, and the clause was agreed to after a few verbal amend ments had been made therein. Clauses 3 and 4 were agreed tc. On clause 5, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY mov3d that the words "Metro politan Board of Works" be struck out, and that " Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury" be inserted. The amendment was agreed tc. Mr. WILLIAMS said he shculd move an amendment, confining the works to be effectel from the revenue derived from the coal duty to the embankment of the Thames. The LORD MAYOR said the 'Thames embankment would not fully meet the object for which it was intended, unless a now street was constructed from Blackfriars-bridge to the Bank of England. Sir G. LEWIS opposed the amendment. After a short conversation the smendment was negatived, and the clause agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. AYRTON proposed to add the following words to the end of the clause :—" And after discharging the said sums and interest in the clause, the said duty of 4d. should be paid to the ace - mut mentioned in clause 5." Sir G. fEIVIS said he had ne objection to amend the clause, allowing the proceeds of the tax to be disposed of in such metropolitan improvements in, and adjacent to, the city of London as Parliament might sanction. After a short discussion the proposition of the right hon. baronet was agreed to. The house was engaged in discussing clause 7 at four o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was LLErr SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS EV:ENING.) INDIA-OFFICE, JUNE 25.

During all Sunday night and the whole of yes terday and last evening there was almost the same anxious crowd I , ressing to ace the ruins caused by this tremendous disaster as during the time of the fire itself. The parapets and copings of London bridge seemed as thronged as ever, and all the vari ous little alleys and byways into Tooley- street, even those which only commanded a limited view of the blackened wall, and many from which nothing at all could be seen, were equally crowded. A force of over 200 policemen, under Mr. Superintendent Bradford, is on duty day and night all round the wide area of half-smoldering fire, and these officers are most properly inflexible in allowing none to pass who are not actual owners of property in the warehouses, or who have not duties to perform upon the scene. If this rule were relaxed to ever so trifling an extent it most probably would result in a series of fatal accidents even more numerous than those which is now known attended the Great Fire itself. As far as the mere gratification of curiosity is concerned, we can assure the numbers who are now so excluded that there is very little to see, and even that little can only be witnessed by incurring an amount of risk that none in their senses would wish to incur, and against which the police insure the public by simply keeping them out of harm's way. There is such a massof smoul dering, and in some ruins yet dangerously active fire, that the heat alone in most instances prevents approach. In a few places where the fire has burnt out, or been half smothered under falling walls, or where the direction of the wind allows the firemen to cencentrate their hose and flood the spot from the mains, one may almost venture upon the very scene. But even this is not to be attempted save by those willing to incur the danger of passing beneath lofty sheets of walls burnt white as lime, cracked in jagged fissures from base to summit, and bulged by explosions or warped by the intense heat till they lean about in every angle as if shaken by an earthquake. It seems a marvel how some of these ponderous slabs of brickwork still stand, though it is evident they cannot last for long. Every breath of wind sweeps the charcoal in clouds of black dust from the burnt beams, and the mortar c omes ra ttli ng d own , w hil e stray bricks fall here and there as the whole mass subsides more and still more out of the perpendicular. Architects and surveyors are useless here. They can only say positively that the walls will certainly fall, though whether they may hold up a week or come down the next minute none can tell. (Where Mr. Braidwood and Mr. Scott lost their lives a whole warehouse seems mined at its foundation and beetles over the spot at a fearful angle, and the entire mass may come headlong over at any instant. The imminence of this danger is increased by the fact that the cellars under this toppling pile, all filled with oil, are on fire from end to end. This cellar is more than 100 feet long by 50 broad, and from the outlet of this the flames were pouring yes terday evening in great red billows as fiercely as ever. Here the fire must burn for days to come as furiously as before. None dare approach the build ing, and the hose of two engines is fixed up among the ruins of brickwork so as to pour a flood of water in at one door of the cellar, which of course drives the flames from the burning oil out at the other end. The greater amount of water poured in the greater seems the flame, but by thus urging it to the utmost the chances of its becoming exhausted are increased. The explosion in which Mr. Braidwood and Mr. Scott lost their lives took place on the opposite side of the roadway, between two large warehouses, and right in front of the still burning cellars. A mass of wall about 50 feet high and 25 broad appears to have been blown out in large fragments, and now quite fills up th e road with its debris. o less than seven people were standing almost immediately under this, and how any of them escaped the great avalanche of brickwork seems almost a miracle. As we have said, the warehouse fronting this still overhangs the spot in such a manner that it was very properly forbidden to any to search for the bodies, lest still more lives should be sacrificed in the attempt. However, as the spot where Mr. Braidwood was last seen was clearly known, and not so dangerously close to the ruined buildings, the firemen persevered in their endeavours to recover the body of their chief. By working with the utmost care and re moving the ruins almost brick by brick they were fortunately enabled to accomplish their melancholy task without injury to themselves, and yesterday morning soon after 3 o'clock they succeeded in dis interring the remains from beneath an immense pile of scattered bricks. The body was not burnt, but we shall not attempt to describe the injuries it had received. It is sufficient to say that it was so awfully crushed, as to be barely recognizable. Death of course must have been instantaneous. The body of Mr. Scott has not been recovered, though the spot where it is supposed to be is now pretty accurately ascertained. Unfortunately, how ever, the place is just benea' h not only the tottering warehouse we have spoken of, but almost under the calcined remnants of another wail on the opposite side, which is expected to fall each minute. It would be little short of manslaughter, therefore, to allow any men to work in an almost useless errand among the ruins at this spot. What increases the chance of the warehouse fall ing is the necessity of pumping on the burning cellar beneath it. Several times during the course of yesterday the water finding its way to great yet confined centres of heat generated explosions of steam that shook the tottering superstructure above it, and made the mortar rattle from its walls in the most ominous manner, so that all those in the vicinity ran back. Two such explosions occurred in the space of half an hour yesterday, the last of which still further increased the gap in the side walls and left its great front sloping forward like another leaning tower. The place where this ware house stands is about the centre of the fire. Most of the walls of the warehouses above it on the side next London-bridge have already fallen. Those on the other side, towards Horselydown, are still standing, but in a moat dangerous condition. Pass ing down from Tooley street all the roads and foot ways are ancle deep in melted tallow, which gives off a most offensive smell, and upon which it is scarcely possible to keep one's footing. All along the various thoroughfares round the scene of the fire this grease has been scraped up into huge piles, but the amount thus saved is a mere unit in comparison with the enormous quantities lost during the fire. As far down as Milwall it has been collected in boatloads by the watermen, many of whom have realised considerable sums by its sale at 2d. and 21d. a pound. It is now known beyond a doubt that on the night of the fire, when great quantities of the grease were floating, very many lives were lost in the efforts made to collect it. It is not pro bable that the number of these unfortunate persons who thus fell victims to their rashness or cupidity will ever be ascertained, though there is now but too much reason to fear that many thus perished. One of the police inspectors alone witnessed five such fatal accidents. The first was to a man alone in a boat, who, reaching out to scoop up the floating grease, overbalanced and fell into the water and was drowned. Another shocking case we are told was distinctly seen from the landing stage on the other side of Humphrey's dock in front of the eastern and still uninjured parts of Hay's wharves. Four young men were in a boat, which they had collected almost full of grease; suddenly a great flood of the boiling fat, all on fire, rushed from one of the burning wharves out upon the Thames. The boat in which the men were was immediately sur rounded by the blazing mass, and the grease it con tained ignited. The four men were seen to plunge into the river, but none of them were recovered. In fact, from the state of the flames on the water no aid could by any possibility have been extended to them. After passing backwards into Tooley street the flames appear to have swept away the greater part of Hay's superb range of fire-proof warehouses like so much wickerwork. The de struction along here has been so complete that it is impossible to distinguish among the huge piles of charcoal that fill the scorched walls what the warehouse even contained. Here and there are masses of half melted iron columns, charred beams, with fragments of raw hides, burnt sugar, coffee grains, bundles of charred cane, exploded barrels, mixed up with bricks, crumbled slates, iron doors, and floods of melted tallow over all. The pile of warehouses thus destroyed, take them as a whole, were probably the finest and best built edifices of their kind in the kingdom. Everything was of the most solid and enduring description, and all the most approved appliances for rendering them fire proof were everywhere adopted. To mere flames, of course, they have been for rable, but no building substance knowncould with standered- such tremendous heat, The walls hot when the contents of each floor ignited,k t the even then the iron doors and shutters kept The preservation flames confined for a long time. The wharves on the . becatmhouoth of the most eastern range of Hay other side of the creek Humphery's dock, in which the vessels which g but the some me walls thousands. no w re mains. were recovered lay, and called Of the huge mass of buildings seems astonishing. are burnt the parts that with barrels fotfhehnrseesetdo, of Hay's m wh ai i n ch s. a T dj h o e in c e e d lla t r h s em be.n n e_ o a t t h h in gone, and with them an im mense stored eunsttirhealyve , Which is entirely Hadand olive b ut oils, ouo to of thethe numberthese ignited o m w e h n a s r e ve w s a ni rehouse close at hand filled with barrels of spirits of turpentine. That it did not extend to the east wing of Hay's wharves is stated to have been entirely due to the intre pidity and personal exertions of Mr. Hodges, of the Lambeth Distillery, who in spite of the risk he was exposed to from flame and falling ruins, got G the hose of an engine to the place where the E re was just beginning in the east wing, and extin guished it before it had gained any hold. So immi ' nent appeared the danger of the flames croLsing the dock and igniting the east wines that the firemen in their haste to remove their engine from the dock bridge unfortunately moved it too near the edge, and it fell over into the water and sunk instantly. There appears to be not the least doubt that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion antmg the hemp. It is a much more common cause of such disasters than is generally supposed. Even in private houses, wh ere d amp an d greasy c l othes are left in disused scullery cupboards, it is known to be the first cause of many mysterious conflagra tions. If the workmen had not committed the inexplicable fault of leaving open the sliding fireproof doors that communicate between the warehouses there is no doubt the incipient com bustion might have been stifled in its own smoke at the very outset ; but these doors being unfortu nately open all the doors were so filled with blind ing smoke that none could enter them for more than a few yards. Even then, however, the scat of fire could be distinctly seen, and it was very small,.iso rin that had an y eng i ne b een on th e pre mises t is said it cou ld h ave b een extinguished at once.'There was n one , h owever, an d the men could do nothing but look on till the engines came. Tlics , were soon on the spot, but, as usual there was no water. We have been assured that some of the p m e e o t r a e t e t r h s a e n f t h a e n fa h s t o ur— e fi n r n e e n s were were helpless g s the spread ing conflagration, and that constantly during the night, and at the most critical moments they wer e compelled to stop working from the inadequacy of the water supply. We have already spoken of the vault s b eneath the destroyed portion of Hay's wharves containin g such an immense quantity of valuable oils, and i t i s of course a matter of vital importance that all chance of ignition should be prevented by the ruins above them being cooled as quickly as possible. For this purpose ther e a re three engines now stationed on one side of the building, yet, notwithstanding the urgent need for their services, we were present during at least one full hour rsterday when they . were obliged to desist from th e i r e ff or t s for want of water, and we were told that that was not the first time during the day that they had been thus compelled to remain idle. The loss and destruction of property, it is now calculated, will amount to the stupendous sum of £2,000,000 sterling. To rebuild the landing wharves and warehouses alone will cost, it is stated, at least £500,000, and of course the value of the ware houses bears but a small relative proportion to that of their contents. It is generally said that insur ance companies find their account in fires from the increase of business brought to them. It will, how ever, require an immense increase of business to cover the loss many of the offices have sustained by this fire. Perhaps the smart of this infliction may lead them to investigate as to who, if anybody, was to blame for there being no water. Every householder, however, is interested in knowing the reason for this astounding neglect, and it is ear nestly to be hoped that the matter will not be dropped in silence. THE CATHOLIC POIPERS ANL ROME The Brussels papers furnish us with the text of M. Thouvenel's reply to the proposal made to France by Austria and Spain, to interfere in behalf of the Pope's temporal power. It will be recollected that Lord J. Russell stated in the House of Commons, on Thursday evening last, in answer to a question from Mr. D. Griffith, that Franco had answered nega tively. The French Foreign Minister's despatch, aidressed to the two powers, is as follows : " Paris, June 6. " Sir,—l have received the note which your Ex cellency has done me the honour to address to me, dated the 28th May, in which you express the de fire of your Government to come to an understand ing with the Government of the Emperor, with a view of securing in a definitive manner, and as the result of an agreement between the Catholic Powers, the maintenance of the temporal power of the Holy See. On his part, M. the Ambassador -- was en trusted by his Government with a similar missi on , My first duty was to place before the eyes of his Majesty these important communications, and I now find myself in a position to reply. "The sentiments inspired in the Government of by the position of the Holy Father, are in en tire conformity with those of the Government of the Emperor. That Government has equally la mented and condemned the aggression directed against the Pontifical States, and if the grave poli tical considerations which Austria and Spain have both taken into account, at this epoch, have not al lowed it further to oppose accomplished events, if; has neglected nothing in order to limit their conse quences. The corps of occupation at Rome was augmented without delay, and the Pope, being able to dwell with security in his capital in the midst of the turmoil which agitated Italy, has been indebted to the French troops for the preservation of a part of his territory. " The Government of the Emperor by some acts, of which, as I ascertain with satisfaction, the Go vernment of -- does not hesitate to express ap proval, has testified, and constantly testifies, to the profound and invariable sympathies which animate it in relation to the head of the Church. The pre carious situation in which circumstances have placed the temporal power of the Holy See, do not excite less distressing sentiments among the Catholic na tions ; and as it concerns the peace of consciences that such serious questions should not remain for a long period in suspense, it is certainly the duty of Governments to unite their efforts, in order to sim plify them and facilitate their solution. " I do not believe, however, M—, that it would be useful to discuss here, with the necessary ful ness, the system according to which the States of the Pope and the city of Rome would establish, so to speak, a property in mortmain appropriated en tirely to Catholicism, and, in virtue of an unwritten law, placed above the rights which regulate the condition of other sovereignties. I confine myself to recalling the fact that neither the most an :cent nor the most recent historical traditions appear to sanction this doctrine, and that England, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden—powers separated from the Church—signed at Vienna, with the same authority . as France, Austria, Spain, and Portugal, the trea ties which restored to the Pope the possessions he had lost. " The highest expediency—l hasten to proclaim it—agrees with the greatest social interests in re quiring that the Head of the Church maintain him self on the throne occupied by his predecessors for so many centuries. The opinion of the Emperor's Government is very firm on this point, but it thinks also that the wise exercise of the sapreme authority and the consent of populations are in the Roman States, as elsewhere, the first considerations of the solidity of power. The gravest dangers now me nacing the temporal Sovereignty of the Holy See proceed, it is true, from without; and though the occupation of Rome provides for the necessities of the present, the future remains exposed to hazards which we sincerely wish to avert. " Austria and Spain, M.— agree with us in this task ; but they do not at the same time indicate the means to be employed for accomplishing it ; and some explanations on their part, moreover, become the more necessary, as their position towards Italy differs, under a certain aspect, from that of France. We have seen with regret the stipulations of Villa franca and of Zurich fail of complete execution, and we should have wished that the Monarchy of the Two Sicilies had not been overthrown ; nevertheless , the march of events, while contrary to its wishes,a has not affected the Imperial Government in M B a u deh rid. direct way , as the Courts of Vienna " Without giving our approbation to what g arantee u the has passed ; without wishing to cover with our existence of the new state of th no dynastic igs normal' relations in terest prevents us from effecting and s thewe are obstacle concerned, t o i t s with the kingdom of Italy, acknowledgment rests, r privatese c solicitude considera tion. for the simply in the difficultie y s inherent that Austria and " May we be permitte time be disposed Spain will from the present to take this point of view, and a t icilthfto: r:e h a n e t . in affairs at R ome. The foregoing is a question Which I put to a s n up t e o r . io y r o t u o r an E Excellency ; but the Holy See will myself doubt even which it excites, and the consequences w hich result from it, do not allow me to appreciate with as much exactitude as is required, the nature rather beth of the common action Proposed by the Government of I do not conceal, M that the principle of non-inte rvention which has saved the peace of Europe, e xc l u di ng to-day, as it did a year ago, the employment of force, there exists in our eyes a strict connection between the regularisation of the facts that have so considerably modified the situation of the Peninsula, and the solution to be given to the Roman question. The Government of the Emperor will, then, be very happy to learn that Attstria and Spain deem it possible to enter also in the only path which, as seems to it, can without new shocks conduct to a practical result; but in any hypothesis it does not hesitate to give the assurance that, for its part, it will not adhere to any combinat ion which is incompatible with the respect it profess es for the independence and dignity of the Holy See, and which would be at variance with the object of the presence of its troops at Rome.—Receive, &c., (Signed) " THOUN; ENEL."
