Now ready, Tenth Edition, with Fifteen Illustrations, 103. 6d., T HE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS. By ELIOT WARBURTON. MALTA, Deo. 29. "A book calculated to prove more practically useful was never penned than The Crescent and the Cross,' —a work which sur passes all others in its homage for the sublime and its love for the beautiful in those famous regions consecrated to everlasting immor tolity."—san. • . (From. the Morn AdvertiBe.) The motto, " England for the English,' which we suggested eight days ago as that which ought to be the national motto, is, we rejoice to find, already in the course of universal adoption. (That motto is on all lips : it is in every heart. It is the only motto which is suited to the existing • circumstances rof this country. There could be no more appropriate rallying-cry for the people than " England for the English. Let that cry be only raised in tones sufficiently loud, and it will make itself heard in ears not always accesiible to . the popular voice. And not only will it make itself heard, but it will force admission iuto the Court and Cabinet with resistless power. It will extort a practical response in the foreign policy of the country, from those who have hitherto had everything their own way. When sufficiently ample revelations have been made of the influences which have been exercised in the admi nistration of public affairs in this country, for a conside rable time past, the people of England will be alike sur prised and indignant. Just now, were the full extent of undue influences at work, to be laid before them, they would scarcely be able to cre4it the statements which should have to be 'made ; but they will not always be sceptically disposed. Facts will' be submitted to them which they cannot gainsay —=facts which will command their belief, however unwilling ,they may feel to give credence to them. The Caradoc, despatch steam-vessel, Lieutenant Der riman, has just arrived from Constantinople, with de spatches from the British and French Ambassadors for the home Governments. She has encountered bad weather from Cape Matapan, and, had this continued all the way, she would have been'obliged to bear up for Navarin-bay or Zante. This alternative would be pre vented by the Admirals employing steamers capable of steaming all the way to Malta, independent of any weather. She brings no particular news, and leaves di rectly for Marseilles. The Triton steam•vessel sails this evening for Constantinople; Lady Dundas and the wife of the flag-lieutenant take passage in her. Dr Hill pro ceeds in her in charge of medical stores for the sick quarters in Therapia. Mr. Stokes, master of the Spitfire, goes. to England on six weeks' leave of absence. • • "Young men, between the ages of 19 and 24, who are active, stout, and ablebodied, 5 feet 7 inches in height, and in all respects healthy and fit for the naval service, will be received for entry by making application on board the flagships at any of the naval ports, or at the rendezvous at London, Liverpool, and Bristol, and agent:of transport at Leith. A preference will be given to those young men who have been used to boats.— Admiralty, January 3, 1854." The Medea, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander Augustus Philliwore, is ordered to Woolwich, to be docked at this port, and have the injuries she recently received repaired. The boilers of the Algiers ; 90, are now ready at the factory here, and will be taken round to Devonport by the Melampus, 42, frigate. _ Colonel Commandant Samuel Burdon. Ellis, C. 8., of the Woolwich division, having applied to the Admiralty for additional assistance in perforniing• the duty here, which was, very arduous to-the men, owing to the num ber recently draughted from head-quarters here, two coinpanies of the 38th - Foot have been lent from Chatham, arid, they arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and marched up to the barracks.

The matter of fact realities of One Thousand Eig t Hundred and Fifty-Three are pe-sibly the best interpreters of the events of 1854, for we may all tak- the en dit to our elves of bei:4; able to tell what we already know; and the fortunes of the future may be very well calculated by the sue 'eases of the past, r,n.l it is even possible that our expectations may be surpassed in the onward progress of busi ness, that the bright prospects of th.e future he rendered more satis factory in reality, than they were in the representations of imagina tion. It is one of the most amiable features of the human race, that every individual Lady, Gentleman, or Child should possess an am bition to excite an influence in the circle higher than that in which they move and, it is Dress in Style, Neatness and Excellence, which forms the primary chain to this social elevation. Taking steps which no other tradesman aver ventured to ascend, and holding a position on an eminence which none but themselves could occupy, E. m 05E5 AND SON have the greatest pleasure in in viting their friends and the public to "pry into the future," and to compare the advantages of the past, with the certainties of what must follow ; they have long supported the title universally bestowed on them of being the largest Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and Outfitters in the World, they have extended the benefits of new styles and artistic designs to all classes, with the precision employed on the manufacture of attire f-r the peer, they have prepared suitable • dress for the artisan, labourer, and emigrant. The progress of refinement, the improve ments of manufacture, the revelations of science, and the influence of capital, they have exercised to the flillest extent in rendering their productions the most novel, the most coinfortable, the most fashionable, and the cheapest which can be obtained. The business of E. MOSES AND SON has the speed of the railway, with none of its accidents—the correctness of art, without any of its imperfections—the regularity of time, but free from its obliterations -the universality of light, but never subject to a periodical eclipse —and well has the public repaid the diligence, skill, and assiduity which has been displayed by E. MosEs AND Soil, by unprecedented patronage of the City and West-end Establishments, and their branches at Sheffield and Bradford in Yorkshire. For E. Mos E s. AND SON to say they thank their patrons and the public, would be a very inefficient way of dismissing the favours they have to acknowledee, they cherish an indissoluble remembrance of the unnumbered instances of public approba . ion, expressed both in favour of their system of Business, and of the articles they have had the pleasure of presenting to all classes during the past year, and they are determined to give a most Businesslike expression to their grateful recognition of these favours by providing every thing in the several departments of their gigantic business, infin tely better and cheaper than it is possible for others to do. Entering on another year under circumstances so encouraging, E, Moans AND Sort have briefly to state, that , Ladies will find the most varied and magnificent assortment of Dress at their Establishment ; and Hosiery Goods for Ladles, Gen tlemen, and Children, distinguished by unparalleled novelty, elegance, utility, and cheapness. The Nobleman, Man of Business, or Mechanic, will still be pro vided with the most fashionable, most seasonable, and the cheapest Attire, either Heady-made or to Order, Merchants, :shipper-, Captains, Emigrants, or Sailors, will con tinue to derive the highest advantages from transactions at the Es tablishment of E. Moses and Sox ; the former, from the vastness, suitability, and cheapr.ess of the Wholesale Stock, and the latter from the completeness of their Outfitting Business, which applies to, evert' service Military or Naval—to every profession and occupation to all the necessities of any voyage, and to every exigency of a °reign climate. The most stupendous success in London and the provinces is not the only record.which E. Moses and 'ox have to make of the cast year. A new world having been created for commercial enterprise by Australian gold discoveries, E. MOSES and Son have identified their business with our antipodes, by opening a magnificent store in Melbourne—this is another aexdiary to their gigantic trade, and puts them in constant communication with that colony —(to which, as well as other parts) they have outfitted incredible numbers, and are ully prepared to outfit thousands more with tar greater advantages n the quality, suitability, and cheapness of the goods. In conclusion, the wide world's population will possess still further facilities of being furnished with the best, most artistic, most fashion able, most comfortable, and the cheapest goods, at the establishment of E. Moses and Son, at its branches, New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, London; and Farg'ste, Sheffield; also, Bridge-street, Bradford, Yorkshire. In an impartial and accurate review of their business prosperity at keine and abroad, on a just calculation of the benefits derived from it by countless thousands, and anticipating those advantages becoming still more extensive, E. Moms and Son mos tcordially and ardently wish all their patrorns and 'everybodY, "A - HAPPY NEW YEAR.!" ON THE SECRET CAUSES OF SELF-ACQUIRED MISERIES AND DISAPPOINTED HOPES. TETE SILENT FRIEND.

AMERIOAN AFFAIRS.—The further accounts from New York this week by the Atlantic show a renewed provement in the stock market. At the same time, owing to the shipments of produce to this country, the rate of exchange was declining, although the present steamer has brought specie to the extent of 100,0001. Even, however, if the remittances should fall off by the next two or three packets, they are likely to be aug mented by the dividends which have to be sent to Lon don during January. Business was increasingly active in all quarters, and the railroad receipts, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, continued in almost every instance to show a great advance. A re port regarding the Illinois Central Railroad, in which a considerable interest is held on this side, had just been pub lished by the chief engineer, to the effect that the construc tion of the entire line is going on rapidly, and that it will certainly be completed at the appointed time. The mar ket for imported goods was firm, and, as the arrivals during December had been moderate, the stock was not I larger than at the end of 1852. As the reduced tariff recommended by the Government will not, if it be adopted, come into operation for a year, and the notice for the Government purchases of United States' stocks would expire on the 31st of December, attention was . directed to the question of preventing the continued accumulation of surplus revenue meanwhile, and the consequent hoarding of specie in the Treasury vaults. One plan suggested, and which was still before Con gress, was to allow the importers of railroad iron a credit of four years for the payment of duties.

And here let us do our countinen the justice to say, that this indisposition to believi anything unfavourable to those of whota they wished ifithink favourably, and to whom they had shown a ibicere friendship, is in finitely to their credit. It is tia - Much to be regretted, that confidence so generous slfbuld have been abused, and that friendship so sincere should have been mis placed. But it will not ba so muclikoniar. • . If the English are slow to believe anything whit*- is ungenerous on the part of those on whom they had lavished unbounded kindness, they feel all the more 'strongly, when it no longer admits of doubt that that kindness has been ill-requitted. The eyes of the nation are fast opening to the fatal state of matters in the Most exalted places in the land, and they wiil feel and act accordingly. A per fect flood of light has, within the last few weeks, been let it on the public mind, and the people will never again be deceived. We knew not that we have ever seen more unmis takeable indications of public indignation than those which we now witness at the disclosures which we have recently made. Nothing could touch the national sen sibilities more strongly than the discovery that England, instead of being governed for the English, and in ac cordance with English principles 'and opinions, has been, in reality; governed in consonance with German notions, by German influences, and for German - purposes. Nothing could be more calculated to create a powerful prejudice against Germans, than the discovery of the fact that Germans have been busy, and, what is more, successful, in a certain sense and to a certain extent, in intriguing at the Court of England., What were mysteries before become plain as the noon-day sun. What was incomprehensible to the unsophis ticated; unsuspicious minds of the people of this country; is easily and perfectly comprehensible now. The secret of that anti-English, degrading, and in jurious policy, which the Coalition have pursued with regard to the Turkish question, is now as transparent as crystal: They were subjected to an irresistible ex ternal preisure. A power beyond the walls of the Coun cil-chamber guided and governed them in every delibe ration they had, and in every aot• they performed. They had no will of their own. They were the veriest slaves of others. They were no better than so many mere marionettes. They did as they were bid ; they moved when and as the wires were pulled: And this, too, in a great country like England--the greatest in the world ; but,• we say it with sorrow, great no longer. It may -recover its moral as well as its mar ' tial greatness ; but that will only be • when the existing system of governing the country at home and abroad, by secret and unconstitutional agencies, has been de stroyed, and English minds and hearts are again at the head of affairs, in reality as well as in name. If the people would see the lost prestige •of their country re stored, if they would see England once more at the head of the nations of Europe, -taking the• lead in all that is just, generous, and great—they must take care that no foreign influence. obtain access to the councils of the Sovereign,, and .that thoroughly_ English feelings and thoroughly English views prevail in all the deliberations ofi eurMinisters of. State.. "England for the English" must , become the motto of future Cabinets, as well as of the country. It must be the guiding principle of those in power, as well as the rallying cry of the people. And to insure the adoption of that motto on the part of Mi nisters, it will only be necessary that it should be uni versally adopted in the country. With this view we trust that, at all the great popular demonstrations which are about to be made in reference to the conduct of our Government with relation to the Turkish question, the cry of " Etgland for the, English" will be , heard loud and loiiip„ it Ting-tirenngh the halls or rooms in which the ineetlifxralie pla'6o, - and be reverberated by the walls of the blifidings. Let it sound from shore to shore—from the centre to the circumference of the British empire. If this be done, all may yet be well. Dismay will be carried into the Court and the Cabinet, and, from very fear, if from no higher or nobler prin ciple, we shall see an end put to that sinister system of secret, un-constitutional, un-English influences with the Ministry of the day, which has dishonoured the name of England, and destroyed its prestige everywhere — which ha,S subjected us to the charge of treachery to Turkey, of truckling t o R uss i a, an d of placing in the most imminent jeopardy the peace of Europe. But before we can have any reason to believe Coburg influences have ceased to operate in the councils of the country we must have a change of Ministry. Nothing is to be expected from the present then. They have lost everything that pertains to the English character, by their constant association, for so long a period, with parties whose predilections are thoroughly German. It may be doubted, indeed, whether it has not so far become a political habit with them to subserve the purposes ,of those who have been their German masters, as to proceed in the same course, without the promptings under which they have hitherto acted. Be this as it may, they cannot remain in office. The country does not repose the slightest confidence in them. Nor will the country ever 'believe that the Coburg dy nasty has been entirely overthrown at the Court and in the Cabinet, so long as the Coalition, or even a majority of their number, remain in Downing-street. To the ignominious expulsion, therefore, of the men now in office—it would be a misnomer to say power, for power they have none—the country must direct its im mediate and exclusive attention. These men have sacri ficed their country's interests, to a feeling of utter servility to parties who have no constitutional status in these realms, beyond that of the other subjects of her Majesty, and who, consequently, have no right to inter meddle in any Way with polities. And until these per sons are expelled from Downing-street, and men of thoroughly English feelings appointed in their place, we can have no ground for believing that Germanism has ceased to inspire and regulate the foreign policy of this country. Until a consummation so devoutly to be wished has taken place, let us repeat, that the only -motto for the people of Great Britain in the present con 'uncture ,innst be—.,, England f or the English." CompLETION Or TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BE TWEEN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.—The English and Irish Magnetic Teleg rap h Company , having completed their present operations, telegraphic communication is 'now perfected between Stranraer, in Scotland, and Queenstown, through Belfast, Dublin, and Cork. The first message received at Dublin from Queenstown was from Rear-Admiral Sir William Carroll, to the Lord- Lieutenant. It reached College-green between twelve and one ion Monday, and was conveyed to the Vice regal Lodge by Mr. Jenoure, the company's manager for Ireland, who brought thence a reply from his Excel lency to Sir William Carroll, which was transmitted at once, and delivered in Queenstown by three o'clock. The laying of the wires being finished between Stanraer, London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, Dublin will very shortly be in close communication with these cities. TURKEY AND. RUSSIA.=-OD Wednesday last a public meeting of the inhabitants of Chester was held in the Theatre Royal, for the purpos e of expressing an opinion on the Russo-Turkish question. Resolutions were adopted to the effect that England would be justified in taking instant steps for an open declaration of war against Russia. The meet ing was convened and pre sided over by the Mayo r of Chester. GROSS SUPERSTITION.—At the quarter sessions at Bristol on Thursday, oa f ortuneteller named Richard Harris was tried, first for having stolen a half-sovereign from a young woman , under th e f o ll ow i ng circum stances :—The prosecutrix was a female servant living with a respectable family, and was 21 years of age. Having beard of the reputation of " the Cunning Man," she applied to him for the purpose of having her fortune told. This he did, and told her he could make a charm for her which would have the power of compelling the affections of the opposite sex 'towards her, so that she might have whoever she pleased for a husband. He then asked for a sovereign to work the charm. She, however, had but half a sovereign, having procured which he draw a certain charm, in the shape of a heart, and then took some paper, in which be pretended to pack the coin, and told her th a t it was th e mag i c handing back the package, love charm, and that she was 'to keep it in her pocket for nine days, at the end of which time she would have everything she had wished for durin g the time. The silly girl believed what he told her, and pocketted the charm, having first, as she thought, ascertained that the half sovereign was safe inside. Female curiosity, however, induced her shortly after to open " the charm," when she found that the half-sovereign had been changed for a sixpence. Upon this he was given into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, cross-examined her adroitly, and elicited that she had previously bad some charmed tooth-powder of him, to procure her a husband, and in excuse he said it was all a mistake —he was a conjuror, and only did it as a sleight-of-hand trick, intending to _return the money. He was subsequently tried upon an ) other and precisely similar charge, except as to the L amount of money, and having been convicted on both indictments he was sentenced for each to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. • • • BOSPHORUS, DEO". 25, At'Beicos Bay—Britimnia (flag), Agamemnon, Queen, Trafalgar, Albion, London, Rodney, Vengeance, Bel lerophon, Sanspareil; Leandei, and Arethusa.

The Inflexible returned the following morning, and made the signal " All is tranquil." The other ves sels returned in the evening. . Owing to the presence of so large a squadron, and the apprehension of any epide mic arising, sick quarters have been establised•at Thera pia, under the medical superintendence of Surgeon Rees, of the flagship, assisted by Assistant-Surgeon Cotton, M.D., of the Arethusa, and Assistant-Surgeon Irwin, of the Britannia. This is a most desirable step, as the season ,of the year and the distance from Malta forbid the transport of sick men to the hospital there. Lieutenant Blake additional of Britannia, is appointed to the Fury, vice L i eutenant Morgan, to Sanspereil. Lieutenant Whimper, additional of Britannia, is ap pointed to the Wasp, •vice Pritchard, in command of Ardent. _ _ _ Rear-Admiral Lyons and Captain Symonds turn over to the Agamemnon on the Ist of January, as their doing so at this date will facilitate the making up of the ship's accounts. The Arethusa sails directly afterwards for England in command of Captain Mends. The Agamemnon arrived at Constantinople yester day forenoon, after a splendid passage of four and a-half days from Malta, out of which she hove to for a night off Tenedos. Her run through the Dardanelles was ex traordinary, her rate of going being at least 13 miles an hour, before a southerly gale, under close-reefed topsails and courses. She only used steam for two days during the passage. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 6. The Basilisk, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, was paid down to-day, and her ship's company granted leave for a few days. The Sprightly steam-vessel, Acting-Master George Allen, R.N., commanding, returned with the surveying party of Royal Engineers from Hurst Castle last night. The Blenheim, 60, screw, guard-ship, Capt. the Hon. F. T. Pelham, is undergoing a through examina tion. Her bottom is not in the best possible state ; her copper also is very thin, and much worn forward. She got her main and mizen tops over to-day. The Shannon 51, screw—Blocks are being laid to be carried to a certain height, to allow for the extra length of this formidable screw-frigate. She will be built under the same shed that the Princess Royal was launched from, and will be several feet longer than that vessel. Her keel will be laid the latter end of next week. PLYMOUTH, JAN. g. Commander Wm. H. Kennedy, who since 1848, has been Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard force in this district, has just obtained (2d of January) promotion to the rank of Post-Captain. This officer was First Lieutenant under Captain Sir Baldwin Walker in the Constance, from which ship he was made a Commander in 1846, and shortly after this commenced duty in the Preventive Service. A letter from one of the crew of her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Sir Win. Hoste, dated Shanghai, October 31, states that at that time the crew had to go ashore every evening to mount guard in the English church by night for the purpose of protecting the inter est of the resident British merchants. The Spartan had been . aground, and was appointed to leave shortly for Hong Kong and Whampoa, where she would be docked. The writer expected to pass Christmas-day at sea. Arrived at Plymouth, on Thursday afternoon, the Vassiter Tidjerat, Captain Bianchi, Ottoman Govern ment steamer, from Constantinople, bound to London, to procure new boilers, and to repair her machinery. This vessel is English built, and left Plymouth about six years ago, since which she has been employed as a tran sport in the Turkish service. She left Constantinople in the end of November last, and has touched at Malta, Gibraltar, &0., arrivin at Falmouth on Wednesday, but brings no new information, * her news being fore stalled through other channels. Her object in calling at Falmouth and Plymouth was to obtain a supply of coals, and having procured them at Plymouth, she was expected to proceed on her voyage yesterday evening. SHEERNESS, JAN. 5. The Cyclops, 6, paddlewheel steam frigate, Master- Commander Robert W. Roberts.—ln consequence of a very heavy fall of snow, unprecedented for many years, and a severe frost, the dock gates have not been opened to undock this frigate. In most of the public thorough fares of the yard they have been compelled to carry the snow away hi carts in order to proceed with the usual yard duties. The snow and frost continue unabated, with a strong wind from east to east by south, with the barometer down to 28 20, and the thermometer at 26., and falling. The Goodwill lighter, J.

This order has been found necessary to prevent cattle with internal diseases, epidemics, &c., being ser ved for the use of the navy, such meat, on survey, been de clared unfit for human food. Mr. George Filmier, butcher of this place, a highly respectable tradesm an, has been approved by the authorities to slaughter, dress, and send in meat for account of the contractor here.

( From the Spectator. ) • The'accounts which have been already received from the Highland emigrants are highly satisfactory ; ,and as there are still some 200,000 inhabitants in the Islands and along the North-western coast of Scotland, the greater portion of whom must either starve or seek a livelihood elsewhere, every means ought to be taken to carry on the work which has been so well begun. On the sheep-farms of Australia, old men and boys, who have been unable to earn a farthing on the bleak and barren Western Islands of Scotland, will receive liberal wages, while providing the raw material for our thriving woollen manufacture. The extracts from letters already received, if circulated in the Highlands, would soon pro flue as: great - a mania for leaving Inv - n(5 ea has pre y-ailed in Ireland since the potata - 6,11.1 - Ind: - Donald Maekenzie, formerly of Earlish, Skye"---where he must have found it hard work to earn Bd. or 10d. a-day— writes home to iris friends, that he has been " hired for shepherding," and thathis wages are "751. for 12 months, with rations and dwellings. Lest his old friends should not understand what the rations comprise, he adds, "I have of meat for the family, per week, 281 b. beef or mutton, and 201 b. flour, 41h. sugar, and Alb. of tea We did not feel any hunger since we left home, and we have flesh three times a-day." What a marbellous change within a single year ! And yet Donald seems to hove been rather a moderate man in his bargain his old neighbour Sandy M'lnnes, " who left Waternish, his father is in Gedintaler,"—where he will surely not be allowed to remain much longer, has at the rate of "1601. a-year." Donald might have got a large sum too, but he says, "I took one sum for a year, and am content for it." Another fortunate shepherd, John Mackinnon, aged 62, hardly knows how to make his friends in the island of Skye believe the wonderful stories he Is about to tell them. The transformation from a wild and savage country hke that where he had been only a few months before, to the beautiful region where he is nc;‘.v . located, "partly green and partly thickly wooded," and where "they do not care about a sovereign more than you of a penny at home," must seem magical. But he is resolved not to exaggerate—" Now, Sandy, it is no profit to me to tell you lies. That I will not ;" and then he proceeds to give him an idea of what Australia is, as illustrated by his own experience. Six weeks and two days only since he landed in that El Dorado, with only ten shillings in his pocket ; and now, "I have in my possession this night, after paying all my expenses, twenty pounds sterling ' • and that may tell you what sort of a place this is. How long I would be in Skye before I would gather as much 1 but here they are no more in a person's eye than twenty farthings." This is a specimen of the class of men that Australia requires, and of whom we have still many hundreds of thousands more than our farmers can afford to feed and lodge com fortably, much less to offer 751. a year of wages in addi tion. The time may come, however, much more rapidly than they are prepared to expect, when they will be forced to bid against America and Australia, unless they wish to be left without labourers. What would a Dor setshire labourer, with a wife and seven children say, were his employer to offer him and his family 2001. a year, with the following rations :-80 pounds beef or mutton, 60 pounds flour, 12 pounds sugar, and a pound and a half of teal Well may Donald Macaskill, " for merly of Borlin, Isle of Skye," in writing to his sister at home, that he has got such wages as we have just stated, add—" My dear sister, it is very difficult news to believe at home, but you can only understand by this account that I left the starvation behind. I can give as much to my dogs now as I was getting to my family at home to keep them alive with." ANOTHER EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.—Last night, about a quarter before ten o'clock, a fire, attended with a considerable destruction of property, broke out on the premises, known as Kranmer's German Hotel, situated at 18, Burr-street, St. George's in the East, nearly facing the warehouses of St. Katherine's Dock, and within a short distance of the London Docks. The fire was first discovered by police•constable Riley, No. 53 of the H division. Whilst passing along the street his was attracted by an unusual glare of ligh t in thesecond floor of the hotel. He at once gave the alarm, but owing to the fact of no one making their appearance, it was feared that a terrible loss of life had taken place, for the flames were rushing out of the different windows, and were extending so far across the roadway in the direction of the docks as to threaten the most serious results. The engines of the London Brigade, of Messrs. Hoare and Co., the brewers, and the West of Eng land Office were remarkably early in arriving, and a plentiful supply of water having been procured from the fire-mains of the East London Company, the engines were called into operation, but the fire by that period was curling round the windows of the hotel, and were attacking an ancient tree, covered with hoar frost and snow, immediately facing the house, and made the snow drop like a shower of rain upon those standing beneath it. The inmates of the adjoining houses, on seeing the fire progressing so fiercely, at once made a precipitate retreat, and carried their children almost in a state of n udity through the water and snow into the houses of their neighbours. The engines having been worked with full vigour for two or three hours, the flames were ultimately extinguished, but not until the premises in which they began were nearly destroyed, and serious in jury done to those adjoining. The total loss is very considerable, but, owing to the confusion which pre vailed, it was impossible to ascertain whether the pro perty was insured or not. Inspector White and Inspec tor Foay were of great assistance to the firemen in keeping an immense crowd of spectators out of the reach of danger. BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. The ordinary monthly meeting was held last evening at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand ; Mr. T. Moore, F.L.S., in the chair. Various donations to the library were announced, and many thousand British plants had been received since the annual meeting, which would be distributed to the members next month. The Rev. A.

Sir,—Through the courtesy and liberality of Burder, Secretary to the Bishop of Winchester, I have led the following deeds of resignation by Lord of his two valuable livings of Alresford and s- I say courtesy, because, it is not clear I, demanded them even with payment ; and I erm - it liberality, because that gentleman would not make any charge. It must be borne in mind that the ' above two livings were conjointly (exclusive of their • houses, glebe, and fees) of the value of about 4,0001. a.. year, and that no earthly reason could exist for Lord' Guilford resigning his livings but that which is sup posed and believed to have actuated him—viz., a hope to escape from the consequences of his malfeasance in , his assumed trusteeship of St. Cross Hospital. It will be seen that in the deeds of resignation his Lordship states, that "for certain just and lawful aauses, & c. " &e., he " purely, simply, and absolutely resign , the said livings, without fraud or deceit." Now, sir, it is not only openly stated, but believed to be the opinion of all reasonable arid unprejudiced people, that' his Lordship was " moved to resign" in the hope, or, s his " apologists' affirm, with the " understanding," that if he resigned his two livings, he was to retire from. the : , ) t rdal of Cr heer,vise,tit certain os it is that Be.that , a t Lo t rd a s s h s i e p rt d io id n trueor , specific overtures fur a compromise ; and it' is just as true that he was about retiring from the contest by' paving "3,6004." for dilapidations (which under any. circumstances lie must have pail), had not my colleague, Mr. Andrews, and myself stepped in to prevent , him, by furnishing the solicitors to the suit (Messrs. Fearon and Clabon) with those circumstances which have appeared from time to time in the columns of the Times. This view of the case is corrobo rated by a leter I some time since received from one of his lordship's " apologists," in which the writer, in the simplicity of his heart, states, "that if the course adopted by Mr. Andrews and myself is persisted in, and proves succefsful in compelling Lord Guilford to refund the fines he has taken, it will be a breach of faith, inasmuch as his lordship was given to understand that by the re 7. signation of his preferments no further proceeclinga would be taken against him relative to St. Cross. Supposing this to be so, by the act of Elizabeth the "resigning for any benefit, directly or indirectly," is gross simony ' and, therefore, as the benefit on the above statement of his lordehip's_Lr*als abseil:4pr fror "the ,fines that inflicts a fienaltyce. him poi WON the amount of the benefit—to wit, about twice 90,0001. TO sup pose that a man who only gave to the perpetual, ouratit - of the parish of Yateley 24/. - a year ; - to - that - of 'Aiiitsrf, shott or Long Sutton, 151. a year ; to that of Freefolk,. 15/. a year (and in which parish the Sacrament has not, . I am informed, been administered within the memory of man), and to the curate of St. Faith, after a servi tude of 38 years, not a farthing ; and to the schools of the said parishes (being under the hospital), nil—to imagine that such a man would give up, without a quid pro quo, 4,0001. a-year is to credit what no sane person' would or does believe. There are many questions which.' could be put to his Lordship bearing most significantly , on this subject, and which will be put to him, should. it come before a committee of the House of Commons ; but, as Mr. Andrews and myself have but one motive which actuates us—namely, the restitution of the pro perty to the poor, we do hope that his Lordship's ad visers will succeed in inducing him to offer at this eleventh hour to the authorities a fair composition for the wrong and robbery to the poor, with the cancelling of the leases, in conformity to the opinion of Sir W. Wynne and the late Lord Langdale ; so that the hospital may come into the immediate benefit of its immense wealth. If his Lordship will do this (as eventually he will be compelled to refund the whole), we will with draw all further opposition and exposure and expense to him. But, if his Lordship does not do so within a few days, it will be too late, and we shall perseveringly follow him up, and succeed. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, H. HOLLOWAY. Churchwarden of the Parish and Parish Church of St. Faith, with the Master ship of St. Cross Hospital annexed. St. Cross, Jan. 3. P.S. It may not be out of place to state that, on the application of Mr. M`Leod, the solicitor for Brother March (the only one of the 13 who refused to' lend his name to the fraudulent answer to the information), the counsel for the Attorney. General has expressed his opinion that it is proper a professional man should attend before the Master to protect the future inte rests of the brethren against the Master, and it is but just to the solicitors to the suit to say that they have supplied our solicitor with copies of the former plead ings, in order that our new information against the Earl fur the Attorney-General's fiat to allow us to be relators may be adapted so as to supply the informality in the old one, which the Master of the Rolls complained pre vented him from compelling Lord Guilford to refund.
