The amendments are 4 conciliatory character, and though they do 0 The Perhaps, i m p a i r , th e y cer t a i n ly d o no t gthen th e efficiency of the last measure. Y hav e manifestly been introduced For the lit t P° B e of obviating the necessity of creating of P eers, and smoothing down the animosity 1.01 th - Jrds WHARNCLIFFE, HARROWBY, and th, °t her Peers of that school. Still, even with a ,: amendments, the Bill is an excellent Bill, it„! in point of detail, much superior to what 1 1 , 4 s bef ore , i nasmuc h as it h as l ess cum b rous l inery to wor k w i t h, an d f ar more concise aatBi3 and simplicity of plan. We hope it will k:qY the people, and convince them that ti: l4t ers have not deserted their often % " repeated pledges.

Another part of the disfran n th e 19 li t clauses of the Bill related to the bo sge'&lscd It ha • ~,,el.O 1 41 to, Inserted in schedule B. The boroughs i it il l e i • ddie sco o tonki l l e , dole A were disfranchised because they kl it l ave no free election ; but the boroughs in do ing 41413 were placed there from an idea ofthe pro .,r, , t t , le C•PI P, ' Y of - • c hilli rg t n ot giving to the smaller boroughs such a 7 0 t-b1; ilt 4tri s "are in the representation as they possessed at urig vs . t i t hfrom each returning two Members, and )c 0 ' c e 4 Vie w . . . 4 11 or 3 h O tt , of diminishing the numbers of the , .e. . , t , t)! . . r . t o n .4 t o tL The opinion of the framers of this Bill Pi o ho Pi, ' l e first of these points,—namely, the pro hoy, Je t t 6y . hi or j of diminishing the share which these bo rsibehtl:be q 4 4 111 had in the representation—remained un ttp t t ed • With regard to the propriety of filling precS` er of e 'lumbers of the House, it had been mat oleengP f i b , 4 th e 6 : l :ous . consideration with them, whether, a rioo Y t t cancies occasioned by the disfranchise ,. so of 000. to boroughs had been filled up so far uto f, Giv e oft Pi o 41st to th e House only twenty-three Mem hwiptb, j o ke j ot than those which now constituted it, it ° t be of greater advantage to leave its he c oil; U oj eet e js undiminished, especially as those who he ts e o ld f'%l c ii• to the diminution of the House might be ref of tithe ltat.ed without sacrificing any of the principles e r , how The only way left to do this was, by their an additional Member to a certain number of the e e hor 4 , • r wer e ' O ,O 'Nb e_ b" 4. It was proposed, that of the 23 ert! d° ,o ot ti b who must be provided to fill up the woo" k who e rn e o rs st of' co the . House, 10 should be given to considerable towns in sched B, — e that one should be given to Chatham, so as to render that town quite independent of Roches ter,—and that another should be given to the county of Monmouth. The consequence was, that there would only be 30 boroughs in sche_ dule B, instead of 41, and thus in schedule C, instead of 12 Members, there would be 22. In stead of there being 69 places, as by the old Bill, there would only be 49 places returning one representative each. According to the scale now founded on the joint test of the number of houses, and the amount of the assessed taxes, the thirty boroughs which would come into schedule B would be—Eye, Lostwithiel, West bury, Wilton, Midhurst, Launceston, Peters field, Woodstock, Malmesbury, Marlborough, Droitwich, Lyme Regis, Dartmouth, Thirsk, Shaftesbury, Totness, Arundel, St. Ives, Rye, Morpeth, Northallerton, Caine, Clithero, Hel ston, Christchurch, Marlow, and three other places. In schedule D two Members would be given to Bolton, Brighton, Bradford, Blackburn, Macclesfield,Stockport, Stoke-upon-Trent, Ha lifax, and Stroud. By these amendments it will be seen that the disfranchising portion of the Bill has been curtailed ; that schedule A, which before contained fifty-six boroughs, will now only contain fifty-one ; and that schedule B, which contained forty-one boroughs, will now contain no more than thirty. With respect to the census, his Lordship in future proposes to take houses instead of persons, as the test of population cannot be so strictly relied on. On the subject of qualification, little or no altera tion is to be made in the spirit of the 101. fran chise, though as regards freemen—and this part of the rftw Bill is certainly no improvement— the franchise is to be continued to them for, ever, provided they possess it by birth and servitude, and provided also they reside within the city, or borough, or within seven miles of the place of voting. We hope the conciliatory disposition evinced by this last amendment will satisfy the Anti-Reformers ; the more staunch Reformers will not, we apprehend, at all relish it, for it cripples that portion of the Bill which next to the schedules A and B should have been left precisely as it stood before. However, the preservation of the ten-pouud franchise is a great good ensured : we had, we must confess, our misgivings on this point, and are glad to find they have been proved causeless. Altogether the new Bill, if not an improvement 1011 the old one, except in detail, still preserves a great portion of its former sweeping and efficient character, and as such, we hope and trust will be gratefully received by the community. The new Reform Bill, after being read a first time last night, was ordered to be read a second time on Friday, when, in the event of its being read on that day, Lord ALTHORP announced that the House would adjourn over the Christmas Holidays; Lord J. RUSSELL undertaking to name, before the recess, on what day after the Holidays the Bill would be committed. The following most important intelligence ap pears in the Herald of this morning :—" We have just received the following important com munication from a gentleman who left Madrid on the evening of the 6th inst. The following are the words of our informant :--4" A revolu tion broke out at Madrid on December 6, du ring a review, where the troops were ordered to march to the frontiers of Portugal. A con spiracy having been discovered a few days before amongst several militia regiments, they were, in consequence, disbanded—the Marquis of SAM BRANO has been shot—King FERDINAND has been made a prisoner in his own Palace, and is not expected to survive another day, having been previously poisoned. The Palaces of the Mini sters have been destroyed—the fury of the popu lace is directed towards his KING, his Ministers, and the Clergy—the Convents have been pil laged, and the Priests driven from the capital. Two regiments of the Body Guard have been entirely cut to pieces. The general cry is, Down with the Church and the King,' and Long life to the Constitution and Cortes,' which were to be proclaimed the following day. On our informant leaving Madrid, it was reported that the KING was dead ; but if not, he has ceased to govern Spain." We know not what degree of confidence is to be placed in this ru mour, and can therefore only hope that it is true. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning : VIENNA, DEC. I.—His Eminence Archbishop Prince Firmian died here the day before yesterday, universally regretted, after a long and painful illness. On Saturday his remains will be interred in the metropolitan church of St. Stephen, where all the Clergy and most of the Bishops from the neighbourhood will by present. The accounts of the disturbances at Lyons caused a sensible de cline in our Funds to-day, which, to judge from the great amount offered for sale, may fall still more, and thus del.: ) , the negociations for a new loan, which were nearly con cluded. The Constantinople mail, of Novembei 10, has arrived to day, but it brings nothing official respecting the submission of the Pacha of Scutari: it was, however, already known at Constantinople that negotiations for the surrender of the citadel had commenced. On the other hand the Porte had received news from Trebisond that the Pacha of Wan had rebelled against the Government. This news excites the more surprise, as such an event was not at all to be expected after the defeat of Daud Pacha, of Bagdad. This probably was the only ground for the reports in circulation, which ascribe this rebellion some to Persian, some to Russian influence. The first number of the Moniteur Ottoman was pub lished at Constantinople, on the sth of November, and will appear regularly once a week. The cholera bad greatly abated in Smyrna, and wholly ceased in Alexandria. It is reported that the plague rages with great violence in Tauris, Sultanieh, and Teheran. Accounts from Prague say the cholera had appeared there, on the 29th of November, and that two persons bad died of it. --.-. ... VIENNA, DEC. 1. —Five per Cent.

At Bungay an Anti-Reform petition, which lay for signatures at the King's Head for a week, had only three names attached to it. _ The Duke of DORSET has arrived in Harley street, from Drayton Park, Northamptonshire. COURT OF KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE sat this morning at Guild hall, and tried common jury causes. The whole of tht morning was occupied in trying the cause of Briant v. Eicke, the particulars of which were wholly uninteresting COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) PATERSO N V. POWELL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover from the defendant the amount of a certain wager entered into between the parties, relative to the price of shares in the Brazilian Mining Company. The facts of the ease are as follow :—The plaintiff entered into a contract that upon a consideration of 401. being given by him to the de fendant, he should return the sum of 1001. upon condi tion that the shares in the Brazilian Mining Corn limy should be done in the market at any time between the 19th of MI and 31st Dec. 1829, at or above the price of 1001. per share: Many witnesses were examined, who proved that transfers of shares had taken place on • the 31st December, at 981., and the same day 99/. and 1001. had been demanded, but none had been done at that price. Mr. Serjeant TADDY, for the defendant, designated the whole as an illegal transaction, inasmuch as no person had a right to make a wager who had no interest what ever in the transaction, to the injury of others, and there fore be contended that he ought to have a verdict. The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury, after some consultation found a verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages 100/. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

SIJG A IL-The deliveries of Sugars for home use are pretty large. Last week above 2,700 casks were taken out of the West India Docks. Grocery Sugars are prin cipally in request, the trade being buyers, to complete their stocks before Christmas. Brown Sugars are worth from 435. to 455. per cwt. The stock in the West India Docks is now nearly 33,000 hhds. and 1,970 tres. White and Yellow Havannah continue to be inquired after, at the advance of from 6d. to Is. per cwt. In Mauritius not much is doing to-day. Refined Sugars are steady. COFFEE. —The purchases of British Plantation Sugars continue, and the advance at the end of last week is main tained. As the vessels from the British West Indies are now nearly all arrived, and there being a large deficiency in the imports. Stock prices are expected to advance fur ther, the home consumption being still on the increase. Inferior Coffees are advancing, and at present there is only about 10s. per cwt. difference in the value of fine ordinal y and that of fine middling. All foreign Coffees are 'firm. . - RUM AND BRANDY.—The stock of this article is about 6,000 puncheons more than at this period of last yen - . The deliveries continue pretty large, having amounted to about 740 puncheons last week. The stock in the West India Docks is 22,300 puncheons and about 2,300 hlids. Leewards continue at Is. 4d. per gallon. Brandy is in brisk demand at 'former priers. THE TEA SALE.—The sale is proceeding with less ani mation than it commenced. Congous are still on sale. SPICES.—The Market is very firm this morning. Black Pepper is inquired after at advanced prices. Hors.—There are many orders to execute from Is. to 2s. per cwt. under the current prices, but holders are firm. SILK.-The trade is unusually dull, great impatience is manifested by the manufacturers to have the whole of the particulars relative to the late compromise by Govern ment with a leading silk house. BALTIC PRODUCE.—The last accounts from St. Peters burgh state that as the frost had set in not much more produce could be shipped. Tallow here is firm at 425, 6d. per cwt. The delivery last week was 2,711 casks. The present stock is 32,017 casks. In the corresponding week of last year it was 36,933 casks. The COTTON market is steady, and rather more doing. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Accounts from Berlin of the 3(1 of December state that in a little town in Silesia a person has started up who pretends a right to the crown of France. This person is a young watch-maker, residing at Crossen, named Nann dorff ; I.e says that he has certain papers in his possession which he can produce, arid prove that he is the real Louis XVII. ; he is supported by persons belonging to the law, one of whorl' has already arrived at Berlin, and presented his credentials to several of the foreign Ministers. Official information from Washington has been received at the department of State that the Government of Co lombia has issued a decree repealing those of 1827, 1828, and 1829, and restoring the law of 1826, regulating the duties on merchandize imported to Colombia. THE FUNDS. The chief attention of the public this morning relates to the new Reform Bill brought forward last night in the House olCommons, which differs but little to the former one, and the new amendments are very favourably received in the city. The story in one of our Morning Journals of a revo lution at Madrid is not credited. The same report was very industriously set afloat at a certain coffee-house in the city on Saturday last, supposed for a stock-jobbing pur pose in Spanish Bonds, but very unfortunately for the in ventor, for up to the present time Spanish stock has only got up 11- per cent. Console, which left off yesterday at 83 a for the Ac count, are at present 83N. ALF -PA S T ONE. We have received the French Paper, Le Temps of Sunday, which does not contain any accounts from Spain, or any other news worth extracting; had the report of the insurrection at Madrid been true, no doubt the tele graph from Bayonne would have announced it in five days, as an extraordinary courier goes from Madrid in four days to Bayonne, therefore we are still o f an opinion that the report is at present premature.

We take from the Dublin Gazette of Tuesday, th, following important document : TO THE DUKE OF LEINSTER. 164 h-office, London, Oct., 1831. Mr LORD,—His Majesty's Government have come to the determination of empowering the Lord Lieutenant to constitute a Board for the superin tendence of a system of national education in Ire land, and Parliament having so far sanctioned the arrangement, as to appropriate a sum of money in the present year, as an experiment of the probable success of the proposed system, I am directed by his Excellency to acquaint your Grace that it is his in tention, with your consent, to constitute you the President of the new Board; and I have it further in command, to lay before your Grace the motives of the Government in constituting this Board, the powers which it is intended to confer upon it, and the objects which it is expected that it will bear in view, and carry into effect. The Commissioners, in 1812, recommended the appointment of a Board of this description, to su perintend a system of education, from which should be banished even the suspicion of proselytism, and which, admitting children of all religious persua sions, should not interfere with the peculiar tenets of any. The Government of the day imagined that they had found a superintending body, acting upon a system such as was recommended, and intrusted the distribution of the national grants to the care of the Kildare-street Society. His Majesty's preseht Government are of opinion that no private society, deriving a part, however small, of their annual in come from private sources, and only made the chan nel of the munificence of the Legislature, without being subject to any direct responsibility, could ade quately and satisfactorily accomplish the end pro posed, and while they do full justice to the liberal views with which that Society was originally in stituted, they cannot but be sensible that one of its leading principles was calculated to defeat its avowed objects, as experience has subsequently proved that it has. The determination to enforce in all their schools the reading of the Holy Scrip tures, without note or comment, was undoubtedly taken with the purest motives, with the wish at once to connect religious with moral and literary education, and, at the same time, not to run the risk of wounding any peculiar sect by catechetical instruction, or comments which might tend to sub jects of polemical controversy. But it seems to have been overlooked that the principles of the Ro man Catholic Church (to which, in any system in tended for general diffusion throughout Ireland, the bulk of the pupils must necessarily belong) were totally at variance,with this principle; and that the indiscriminate reading of the Holy Scriptures, with out note or comment, by children, must be pecu liarly obnoxious to a Church which denies, even to adults, the right of unaided private interpretation of the sacred volume with respect to the articles of re ligious belief. Shortly after its institution, although the Society prospered and extended its operations under the fostering care of the Legislature, this vital defect began to be noticed, and the Roman Catholic Clergy began to exert themselves with energy and succes. against a system to which they were on principle opposed, and which they feared might lead in its results to proselytism, eren although no such object were contemplated by its promoters. When this opposition arose, founded on such grounds, it soon bec,:me manifest that the system could not become one of national education. The Commissioners of Education in 1824-5, sen sible of the defects of the system, and of the ground as well as the strength of the objection taken, re commended the appointment of two teachers in every school, one Protestant arid the other Roman Catholic, to superintend separately the religious education of the children ; and they hoped to have been able to agree upon a selection from the Scrip tures, which might have been generally acquiesced in by both persuasions. But it was soon found that these schemes were impracticable ; and, in 1828, a Committee of the House of Commons, to which were referred the various reports of the Com missioners of Education, recommended a system to be adopted, which should afford, if possible, a com bined literary, and a separate religious, education, and should be capable of being so far adapted to the views of the religious persuasions which prevailed in Ireland, as to render it, in truth, a system of national education for the poorer classes of the coin munity.. For: the success of the undertaking, much must depend upon the character of the individuals who compose the Board, and upon the security thereby afforded to the country, that while the interests of religion are not overlooked, the most scrupulous care should be taken not to interfere with the pe culiar tenets of any description of Christian pupils. To attain the first object, it appears essential that the Board should be composed of men of high per sonal character, including individuals of exalted station in the Church ; to attain the latter, that it should consist of persons professing different religi ous opinions. It is the intention of the Government that the Board should exercise a complete controul over the various schools which may be erected under its auspices, or which, having been already established, may hereafter place themselves under its manage ment, and submit to its regulations. Subject to these, applications for aid will be admissible from Christians of all denominations; but as one of the main objects must be to unite in one system children of different creeds, and as much must depend upon the co-operation of the resident clergy, the Board will probably look with peculiar favour upon appli cations proceeding either from— I st. The Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy of the parish ; or • 2d. One of the clergymen, and a certain number of parishioners professing the opposite creed ; or 3d. Parishioners of both denominations. 'Where the application proceed's exclusively from Protestants, or exclusively from Roman Catholics, it will be proper for the Board to make inquiry as to the circumstances which lead to the absence of any name of the persuasion which does n o t a pp ear . The Board will note all applications for aid, whether granted or refused, with the grounds of the decision, and annually submit to Parliament a report of their proceedings. They will invariably require, as a condition not to be departed from, that local funds shall be raised, upon which any aid from the public will be de pendent. They will refuse all applications in which the fol lowing objects are not locally provided for :- Ist. A fund sufficient for the annual repair of the school-house and furniture. 2d. A permanent salary for the master, not less than pounds. 3d. A sum sufficient to purchase books and school re quisites at half price. . . 4th. Where aid is sought from the Commissioners fur building a school-house, it is required that at least one third of the estimated expences be subscribed ; a site fur building, to be approved of by the Commissioners, hs eranted for the,porpose ; and that the school-house when finished, be vested in trustees, also to be approved of by them. They will requite that the schools should be kept open for a certain number of hours, on four or five days of the week, at the discretion of the Commis sioners, for moral and literary education only ; and that the remaining one or two days in the week be set apart for giving, separately, such religious edu cation to the children as may be a p prove d of by tho clergy of their respective persuasi ons . They will also permit and en courage t h e c l ergy to i g ive religiousinstruction to the child re n o f t h e i r re - 1 spective persuasions, either b e f ore or a f ter t h e or dinary school hours, on the other days of the week. They will exercise the most entire controul over all books to be used in the schools, whether in the combined moral an d li terary, or separate religion, instruction ; none to be employed in the first, except under the sanction of the Board—nor in the !auto, but with the approbation of those members of the Board who are of the same religious persuasion with ~~ I't~ r / --- :-.i- A - - 7 ; those for whose use they are intende .-: - /Aittiiitigimy:tv : :, it is not designed to exclude from t Ss; of - books '- '7'.•, T-A, for the combined instruction such po . 4,0 f 'Sacred' - --::::,,i_.• . ; history ; or of religious and moral tea Lgijas may ~:-1 4 : be approved of by the Board, it is to , thZitstolif:,:::,%72,'": h i t that this is by no means intended to convey 4- - pe- ,),`,.,:` y fect-and sufficient religious education, or fititipitaqi n .''' cede the necessity of separate religious instruction " on the days set apart for that purpose. They will require that a register shall be kept in the schools, in which shall be entered the attendance or non-attendance of each child on divine worship on Sundays. They will, at various times, either by themselves or by their inspectors, visit and examine into the state of each school, and report their observations to the Board. They will allow to the individuals or bodies applying for aid, the appointment of their own teacher, subject to the following restrictions and regulations :- Ist. He (or she) shall be liable to be fined, suspended, or removed altogether, by the authority of the Commis sioners, who shall, however, record their reasons. 2d. He shall have received previous instruction in a model school in Dublin, to be sanctioned by the Board. N.B. It is not intended that tliis regulation should apply to prevent the admission of masters or mistresses of schools already established, who may be approved of by the Commissioners. 3d. He shall have received testimonials of good con duct, and of general .tness for the situation, from the Board. The Board will be entrusted with the absolute controul over the funds which may be annually voted by Parliament, which they shall apply to the follow ing purposes :- Ist. Granting aid for the erection of schools, subject to the conditions hereinbefore specified. 2d. Paying inspectors for visiting and reporting upon schools. 3d. Gratuities to teachers of schools conducted under the rules laid down, not exceeding - pounds each. 4th. Establishing and maintaining a model school in Dublin, and training teachers for country schools. sth. Editing and printing such books of moral and literary education as may be approved of for the use of the schools, and supplying them and school necessaries, at not lower than half price. 6th. Defraying all necessary contingent expenses of the Board. I have thus stated the objects which his Ma jesty's Government have in view, and the principal regulations by which they think those objects may be most effectually promoted ; and I am d reeled by the Lord Lieutenant to express his Excellency's earnest wish that the one and the other may be found such as to procure for the Board the sanction of your Grace's name, and the benefit of your Grace's attendance. A full power will of cow se be given to the Thud, to make such regulations upon matters of de tail, not inconsistent with the spirit of these instruc tions, as they may judge best qualified to carry. into effect the intentions of the Government and of the Legislature. Parliament has already placed at his Excellency's disposal a sum which may be available even in the course of the present year; and as soon as the Board can be formed, it will be highly desir able that no time should be lost, with a view to the estimates of the ensuing year, in enabling such schools, already established, as are willing to sub scribe to the conditions imposed, to put in their claims for protection and assistance ; and in receiv ing applications from par Jes desirous to avail them selves of the munificence of the Legislature, in founding new schools under your regulations. have the honour to be, my Lord, your Grace's most obedient servant, (Signed) E. G. STANLEY. By his Excellency's command. The Earl of HARROWBY was in the side, or Members' gallery, during the delivery of Lord Junx Rvs sELL's speech last night. A gentletnan sat near him, who took close notes of Lord Joshes speech, and hastily quitted the Members' gallery when Lord JOHN sat down. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Thursday, the Hon. F. CavENDlsx was convicted of a libel on Lord 13tstanam. The defendant is proprietor of the Mayo Telegraph, or Connaught Ranger, Newspaper, and the libel complained of appeared in December, 1830, and January, 1831. The transtctions in which they originated were some details about a duel with Major FITZGERALD, and the defendant imputed forgery, false hood, and cowardice, to the Noble prosecutor. The case was tried in a criminal shape, and judgment deferred. A DISGRACE TO THE CHURCH.--We have received a letter from a correspondent, who states that a reverend man (we will not say gentleman), who is en gaged to direct North-Riding souls to Heaven, and whose address is in our possession, lately hired a horse of a cer tain innkeeper, " which he rode so hard as to burst the organs of respiration, and the poor animal died in torture a few hours after." The same reverend mon, our cor respondent says, boasts of having rode the first eightuen miles in one hour—and the servant of his reverence states that he (the Divine) killed his own horse, in the same manner, a short time ago. It is well said that " a good man will be merciful to his beast"—what then shall we term this degraded animal in human form, whose official duties, if this be correct, must he an abomination to the Lord ? For shame, disgusting offender ! repent in dust and ashes ! York Herald. Yesterday morning the Rev. Mr. IRVING announced to his church and congregation, that in conse quence of the differences which had taken place in the church, it had been deemed proper to appoint a day of special fasting and humiliation before Gon. Such differ ences, he said, had never before occurred, and now that they had taken place, they were to him a source of much regret. Thursday next was the day set apart to the pur poses he had referred to, and he hoped that it would t e observed throughout the church by every family apart. It was not a public, but a private fast, but he trusted it would be generally attended to. There was not on this, as on some former occasions, what has been miscalled a manifestation of the Spirit, and properly called the extra vagancies of fanaticism. It is presumed that the diffe rences referred to by Mr. lavitio have happily occasioned the suspension of the gift in the public assemblies of the church. It is singularly unfortunate that a church so highly and peculiarly favoured should be falling out amongst themselves. Some sceptical souls may be dis posed, by this circumstance, to doubt whether Mr. lavlsfa be correct in attributing the gift of tongues to the Holy Spirit, especially as Sr. PA UL declares that amongst the fruits of the Spirit are love and peace. The infection of the " unknown tongues," we understand, has got so far north as Aberdour, in Fife, On Sunday week an old man-of-war's man commenced, i❑ the parish church, in the forenoon, to give a specimen of his powers, and again, in the afternoon, a schoolinaster in the neighbourhood proceeded to explain the mystery, which had not been properly understood in the forenoon, and went on exclaiming, " 0 yes—O yea—O yes—it is all true,"—when he was cut short, and handed out of the church by some rational persons who were near him.-- Glasgow Chronicle. About half-past seven o'clock on Sunday evening an indescribable alarm was created in the neigh bourhood of the Imperial Gas Company's works at St, Pancras, by a cry that the retort-house was on are. In a few minutes the whole of the retort-house and the roof of the building presented one body of flame, and, we regret to strte, spread with uncontroulled fury. By nine o'clock the fire-engines had arrived from all parts of the town, but, with the exception of the Protector, were refused admis sion. By eleven o'clock the fire had been overcome. Two men were severely injured. The cause of the acci dent was as follows :--One of the pipes became leaky, and, as it is termed, burst. The tar soon ignited and commu nicated to the doors of the retort, and thence spread over the building. Fortunately, the retorts were saved, and thus no stoppage of the works will take place. On Saturday se'nnight a very curious fish was caught and brought into Yarmouth, by one of the fishing boats (WILLIAIvt GEORGE, master). It is about the size of a large mackerel, fourteen inches long, rather Render in proportion to the length, and of a dark brown colour, with three large fins on the back, and two on the belly. On each side was a glittering gold-coloured in irk from the head to the tail ; one fin of the tail being the colour of the body, the other of a bright yellow ; black eyes, a large mouth, and gullet in proportion to the size of the fish. On opening it, thirty-three penny pieces of the date of 1702, and a silver thimble, were found in its belly. The fish was shown at the shop of Mr. Ho- BERT BLAKE, in the Post-office-row, where, we believe, it now lies for the inspection of the curious.....-Norwich Eusl Anglian.
