THE CASE OF JOHN L. BROWN. The following letter will give universal satisfaction, not only to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, but to those numerous parties over the country who took an interest in the case of John L. Brown, condemned originally to death for aiding in the escape of a slave, in South Caro liaa, United States:— " British Consulate, Charleston, April 26, 1844. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt, by this morning's mail, of your letter of the 30th ult., trans mitting a copy of resolutions adopted at a public meeting I held in your city o n th e pre c e di ng day ; and have the most lively gratification in being able to inform you that John L. Brown, the individual who was condemned to death at Winne- borough, in this State, for aiding the escape of a female slave from her master's service, has been pardoned by his Excel lency the Governor of South Carolina, and released from con finement. " I understand that a letter, explanatory of the case, has recently been published by the Judge who presided on the trial ; and if I can procure a copy of it, I shall do myself the honour of forwarding it to you by the first opportunity. " ".I am, &c. " WIL LIAM OGILBY, Her Majesty's Consul for North and South Carolina. " To John Urquhart, Esq., Acting Chief Magistrate of the city of Edinburgh." —Scotsman. To I: -NYALIDS.—In cases of indigestion, loss of ap• petite, and general debility, even where the muscular power is lost, and it is vain to expect relief from medi cine, the highly nutritious essence of turtle cannot be too strongly recommended; it infuses fresh life to the body, and thereby affords nature an opportunity of ex ercising all her powers to overcome the disease. It also makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from the real, tt one -tenth the usual expense; and with game, poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more delicious than anything that ever yet appeared on an English table. Prepared solely by M. De Barre, many years cook to his late Majesty Loiis XVHL, 26, Nassau -street, Middlesex Hospital, and sold by Mrs. Lawton, 8, Rath bone-place, price 4s. 6d., Bs., and 215.; the 51. cases con tain six guinea bottles. CONGREVE ROCICETS.--One of the most formidable engines of destruction which any vessel, particularly a steamer, can make use of, is the Congreve rocket, a moat terrible weapon, when judiciously applied, especially .where there are combustible materials to act upon. The very first rocket fired from the Nemesis was seen to enter the large junk against which it was directed, near that of the admiral, and almost the instant afterwards it blew up with a terrible explosion, launching into eternity every soul on board, and pouring forth its blaze like the mighty rush of fire from a volcano. The instantaneous destruction of the huge body seemed appalling to both sides engaged. The smoke, the flame, and thunder of the explosion, with the broken frag ments falling round, and even portions of dissevered bodies scattering as they fell, were enough to strike with awe, if not with fear, the stoutest heart that looked upon it.— Voyage of the Nemesis. rim PRINCE OF WALES.—We have great pleasure in announcing th a t th e fi rst presentation to Christ's Hospi tal of the Prince of Wales, recently become a Governor of that Royal foundation, has been conferred on a son of Mr. Hunt, the indefatigable Secretary of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Institution. We believe Mr. Hunt owes the se lection of his son entirely to his well-deserved reputation as a philosophic investigator, whose claims were made known at the palace by Sir John Herschel!, on forwarding a copy, of Mr. Hunt's recent publication, entitled " Researches on Light." Her Majesty and the Prince expressed, through Colonel Anson, their pleasure in having the opportunity of promoting the interests of science in Cornwall by the use of the Prince of Wales's influence.-- West Briton. THE LATE Ma. BECRYORD.—MY. Beckford's fa tiler, the alderman, was not a merc h ant , hi s connection with the City was entirely political. He was the eldest son of Sir Peter Beckford, accounted the richestsubject in Europe, who left also extensive estates to his younger children, viz, Julius, grandfather of the late Lord Rivera, Francis, whose descendants now alone retain the name ; Elizabeth, Coun tess of Effingham, and Ann, the mother of Lord Seaford. Peter Beckford was the son of a successful soldier, Colonel Beckford, Governor o f J ama i ca , who was nephew to Sir Tho mas Beckford, of Ashstead, in Surrey. The family had ori ginally large estates in Gloucestershire, &c., but Sir William Beckford died fighting for King Richard on Bosworth field, and the fortunes of the family fell with him. And you will not be sorry to hear, that the works published by Mr. Beck ford did not " exhaust hi s pro d uct i ve powers.' Masses of manuscripts remain which may be given to the public, and which I do not think you will find unworthy the advantage of your notice.—Correspondent of the Atheneum. .I•TEW POLICE Comm.—Two new police courts on the Surrey side of the water will shortly be opened for public business; the first at Stone's-end, in the Borough, and the other in Kennington-lane, L am b et h . This latter police court is to be established instead of the Lambeth-street court, and the Magistrates of that court will then for the future sit at Kennington. The business at Lambeth-street is to be transferred to the Thames police, and the Lambeth-street court abolished. The Magistrates at the Kennington-lane court will relieve the Union-hall Magistrates of a great num ber of their present charges, as it is in contemplation that the entire of the L division of police should take their prisoners to the new court at Kennington, to be disposed of at that place, instead, of bringing them up at Union-hall as hereto fore. It is also reported that the police court at the Town. ball is to be re-established. BARRINGTON...4NCENDIARY FIRE.--OR Thursday evening last, about 11 o'clock, a haulm stack, the produce of eight acres, standing on a field in the Occupation of Mr. Woollard, was destroyed by fire ; there is n o d oubt it was in tentionally fired. A few nights previous a quantity of win dows were broken in the dwelli ng -h ouse of Mr. Woollard.

The fire was plainly seen from Cambridge). —lpswich Express. INCENDIARY FIRE AT BocaiNG.--The inhabitants of Braintree and Booking were again alarmed on Thursday night, about half-past nine o'clock., by the cry of fire, flames having burst out in a shed at the back of a barn situate in Panfield-lane, in the latter parish, close to the town of Braintree, iu the occupation of the Rev. A. notches, of Fins bury, London. The raging element rapidly extended to the barn and other farming buildings, a haulm stack and hay-stack, all which were in a blaze before the Brain tree and Bocking engines (four in number) arrived, and ware in a shed time destroyed. The buildings (late tba property of John English, Esq., deceased) were insured in the Essex Equitable Fire-office, and we are informed Mr. Fletcher is protected by insurance for all that is destroyed belonging to him, his carriage excepted. The looker states that he went round the premises about a quarter of an hour before the fire, and all appeared to be right; be has, there fore, no doubt that it was wilfully occasioned.—Essex Herald.

Mildrum, of the Eliza col lier, of Newcastle, appeared upon a summons to answer the complaint of George Thorborn, and several other seamen, who charged him with having unreasonably detained them fur several weeks in the port of London. The justice-room was crowded with persons interested in the coal trade, amongst whom were several highly respectable shipowners and coal fivitors, Sir P. Laurie presided upon the o ccas i on . The complainants, who in fact summoned the captain of the Eliza because they did not know how to get their case before the public by any other means, stated that they and from 100 to 200 other seamen, who had worked colliers from the north to the port of London, had been detained in the river six weeks between Gravesend and the upper section of Blackwall, having unfortunately subjected themselves to such oppressive delay by signing articles to perform the whole voyage. The amount to which each of them would be entitled at the end of the • voyage was no more than 41., and no part of that money could they obtain to send to their wives and families, so that the most poignant distress was inflicted upon multitudes in consequence of the dis agreement between the pitmen and the coal owners, the former having struck fur higher wages, and the latter being determined to get as high a price as possible for their coals. Sir P. LAURIE—How many colliers are now in the port of London ? One of the complainants—About two hundred, and while they are holding out for high prices you may guess our situation when your Worship is told that several of us have seven, eight, or ten children each to support. . • Sir P. "LAURIE--It appearelhat,b'Y the articles which you have signed you may be delayed here an unlimited time. their cries and the violence of their conduct attracted a mob of two hundred persons round them, and it was with the greatest difficulty they were removed to the station-house. Inspector Penny stated that nothing could be more violent or disgraceful than the prisoners' behaviour in the cull.

MANSLAUGHTER.— William Hend was brought up, on remand, charged with feloniously killing and slaying Catherine Sheehan, of No. 4, Carrier-street, St. Giles's. -It appeared, from the evidence of Ellen, Johanna, and Mary Sheehan, the mother and sisters of the deceased, that the prisoner and John Sheehan, brother of the de ceased, lodge in the same apartment. The deceased was a person of dissipated habits, and on the night of Satur day, the 11th, or rather the morning of Sunday, the 12th, between one and two o'clock, came home under the in fluence of liquor. She became talkative and querulous, and so awaked the prisoner, who told her to be silent. She used offensive language towards him, whereupon he jumped out of bed and struck her on the face, with his clenched fist. He then dressed. The quarrel was renewed; the mother interposed; the prisoner seized a broomstick, and, in attempting to strike the deceaed, hit the old woman on the leg. lie then struck the deceased on the forehead with tlae broomstick (the weapon was produced), inflicting a wound, from which she bled considerably. The deceased was soon after attacked with violent spit ting of blood, and complained of pain in the head and in the side. Medical aid was ottained, but she died on the following Wednesday. Mr. Wm. Bennett, a surgeon, residing in the infirmary of the St. Giles's workhouse, deposed that he attended the deceased during her illness, and made a past mortem examination of her body after her death. She had a contused wound on the forehead, which would have ne cessarily produced a feverish action. The cause of her death was inflammation of the stomach, but the wound on her head might have, in a minute degree, accelerated her death. One Shilling. - HENRY' HOWARD, R.A., Sec. MUSIC OF FRANCE.

To all my friends I have warmly recom mended your Macassar Oil as an excellent restorative mid preserva tive for the hair.

In the Act of Parliament for the regulation of the trade it was so laid down that the poor labouring man had no chance in a contest with the rich man, who would wait until the market might rise. Captain Mildrum said it was useless and absurd to charge him with having detained the men. He acted under the direction of the shipowner, who was naturally anxious to obtain a fair price fur the coal, and the delay was as much against the owner as against the men who had worked the vessel. The complainant declared that the shipowners had an allowance made to them. A shipowner here denied most positively that any allowance whatever was made to those who conveyed the coal. He admitted that it was a very great hardship upon the poor men that they should be detained, but in fact, all parties were sufferers, the market in London being completely overglutted, so that if sales were made, the loss sustained would he serious. Sir P. LAURIE—Is there any prospect that relief will be afforded to these men P—Captain Mildrum said he did not know. He knew that they were much incon venienced, and he had offered them "half voyage," but they refused it. The complainants said if " half voyage " had been offered to them when first they began to feel the effects of the delay, they would gladly have accepted it, but no proposition of the kind had been made until very lately. Captain Mildrum declared that he did not at all detain the ship, but he was bound by the articles, and he sus tained a loss proportioned to that which the complain ants suffered, and he had much more to do, and the whole responsibility. Sir P. LAURIE—The fault is evidently in the law, which is calculated to oppress the poor man who toils necessarily for the support of his family. Here is a very severe judgment, indeed, upon the working man. I trust that the representatives and the Magistracy of the districts in which such cases of distress have origi nated will take up the matter and attempt to provide some remedy. One of the complainants—There is no hope in quar ters of that kind, your Worship. All the magistracy and great men, and representatives, are coal-owners. They are all interested in keeping up the price of coals, and what chance have such as we against them ? None on earth. Sir P. LAURIE—It would appear, then, from what you say, that there exists a combination between -the coal owners and the coal factors, and that as the public won't now purchase coal at the price required, you are to be the victims ? A coal factor and shipowner rose and declared that there was no such thing as a combination or conspiracy existing between the coal owners in the north and any persons in London ; but the fact was, if the coals were to be sold at the prices now offered, as much money as would pay for the freight and the other charges would not be received. Another coal factor said there was no remedy for the evil complained of. Ile had had several ships in the port for the last seven weeks, and he was obliged in consequence of the overglut to avoid working them. The coal owners of the north had nothing at all to do with the matter. Almost all the coals which had lately conic in had been purchased by shipowners on speculation, and the speculation had failed for the reasons already stated. Sir PETER LAURIE—I trust the condition of these poor men will be taken into consideration by those who derive profit from their labour. They say that this is only the second voyage they have made within the last five or six months, and if they arc to be detained in this manner, how on earth are they to maintain their families? One of the shipowners, who is also a coal factor, here declared, that whatever might be the state of the market, he certainly would sell the cargoes in his vessels a week hence. He also st a t e d to Sir Peter Laurie that all the men who had been detained would, no doubt whatever, be remunerated upon their return home. Some of the complainants assured Sir Peter Laurie that they had no expectation of the kind. They never had the least indulgence or consideration extended to them by the wealthy men who had so much in their power, and who exerted the whole of their influence and authority for the benefit of themselves. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, I am sorry for your condi tion, but there is no law which will sanction my inter ference for your benefit. The case will, no doubt from the interest felt in the circumstances, be submitted to public opinion through the Press, and I dare say that through such channel remedy may result from exposure. Although I cannot relieve you I do not regret that you have sought redress at the hands of the Lord Mayor. The case can only be met by an Act of Parliament, and I trust that although the complainants say the magis tracy in the coal districts are all coal owners, some ef fectual means may be adopted to protect these poor men and enable them to share with their families the produce of their labour.

The captain was then told that he was wholly excul pated, and the complainants retired, expressing hopes, but appearing to despair. An elderly man, named Thomas Marsh, of very re spectable appearance, and with a head as white as snow, was charged with having committed a robbery in the warehouse of Messrs.

Mr. Caldwell, warehouseman in the house, stated that the prisoner, about a week ago, called at the warehouse, and desired to see some silk- handkerchiefs. Witness showed him several, but took no particular notice of him, never suspecting that a person of his appearance contemplated a robbery. lie made some objections to the width of the handkerchiefs, and went away without purchasing any. After his departure witness missed some of the goods which had been exhibited, and ascer tained in the course of the evening that twelve hand kerchiefs had been stolen.

The prisoner looked at several handkerchiefs, and was observed cautiously de positing three of them in his pocket. He then said he would call again, and was moving towards the door, when witness stepped up to him, and told him to deliver up the property which ha had taken. He, with a ff ec t e d surprise, denied that he had put anything in his pocket; but upon being told there was no use in denying the fact, he pulled out the three handkerchiefs, said there must be some mistake in the business, and flung them into a corner. The prisoner said the statement of the witness was quite untrue, for he had never either put the handker chiefs into his pocket or taken them out of it. Another person in the employment of the firm con firmed the evidence of Mr. Caldwell. One of the inspectors of the City Police said the pri soner was in the habit of robbing warehouses and shops, and was very clever at that sort of work. Sir PETER LAURIE—I have no doubt that a man so wholly unlike the character of a thief in appearance must, with such a propensity, do avast deal of mi sc hi e f. I thought, when I first looked at him, that ho was at the bar by mistake ; but I find that he is an adept, and I have no doubt that he will be transported for this offence. Committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Henry Jones and Charles Creed, paupers in the Hol born Union workhouse, were charged with outrageous conduct. The prisoner, when asked for his defence, said, " I will reserve it for a higher tribunal." He was fully committed for trial. Anne Mitchell was brought up on remand, charged with having stabbed John Dymmock with a knife. The facts of the case have already appeared in detail. The prosecutor attended in Court, but in so weakly a condition that he could scarcely articulate. The prisoner was remanded for the evidence of the surgeon at Bartholomew's Hospital, who refused to come without a fee. Mr. Greenwood issued a summons to compel his attendance. Charles Ford, servant in the employment of. Mr. Quelch, an hotel-keeper in Fleet-street, was charged with having two gallons of whiskey without a permit. The prisoner met Morris, an Excise-officer, in Church street, Lower-road, Islington, on Saturday evening, when on his way to a customer of his master's with the liquor, and asked him the shortest way to the street in which the customer resided. Morris answered by taking him into custody, finding that he had no permit. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and was fined 251, or three months' imprisonment. Mr. Quelch paid the fine at once. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS MAI THB MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—Among the multitude of opinions and re commendations afloat on the subject of the currency, there is one by Mr. Leckie which seems to be peculiarly worthy of notice, and that is, to abolish the legal tender clause as now attached to the Bank of England paper, the effect of which would be, instead of locking it up in one place, to " saturate" the country with gold, thus leaving to the Bank, in the event of a continental war, a supply to fall back upon. A correspondent suggests, that as the now banking measure of Sir R. Peel provides for the registration of all the names of persons interested in joint-stock banks, a similar enactment to include bankers generally, whether of issue or deposit, would be felt as add ing greatly to the security of the public. What oc curred in the failure of Hammersley's is a case pre cisely in point, for if it had been known to the cus tomers of the Bank that only one individual was responsible to them, they would either have with drawn their deposits, or, by insisting upon additions to the firm, have secured themselves against danger. Many instances, if not of the same kind, nearly approaching to it, may exist at the present time, and of the firm ac tually placed in the list, it occasionally happens that not one name of those actually in it appears, the old descrip tion being kept up long after the business has passed into other hands. The suggestion appears to be a very reasonable one. A letter from Mogador of the 19th ult. says— " The commerce of Mogador continues in the same crippled state. Almost every production of this country is lower in price in London than it is in Mogador, and yet the mer chants continue to carry on business! The only possible way for them to do business is never to pay their duties when they export produce. But, indeed, this is their system. They make up their minds to involve themselves in debt with the Emperor to the amount of thousands of dollars, and to remain, on account of this debt, in this country for ever. " There aro two or three joint-stock companies advertised in the English papers 'for exploring the mines and develop ing the wealth of Morocco.' These can never come into ope ration, for the Emperor's policy of enslaving European mer chants is quite against them. But if the Emperor can trick the parties, he will."

Since Saturday last the weather has been more like that generally prevailing in March and November than at the latter end of May. The effects of the north-easterly gales have been most severely felt at various points along the coast, and accounts from more distant quarters are looked for with the greatest anxiety. On Sunday the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and the shipping detained by the easterly gales in the Downs suffered much damage, many of them being driven from their anchorage out to sea, and others cast ashore. During the afternoon a schooner was observed by the Dover boat-men rounding the South Foreland in great distress. She was evidently at the mercy of the waves, and attempts were made to render some assistance from the shore. The sea, however, ran so high that the efforts of the boatmen were entirely fruitless, and the vessel shortly after went down in deep water, when all hands perished. At an earlier pe riod of the day a large brig had driven ashore under the cliffs eastward of Dover, but, being lightened, she fortunately floated off with the next tide. Another brig got ashore near the South Foreland Lighthouse, and has sustained much in jury. Yesterday morning a large barque, which had ridden out the gale of Sunday in the Dover roads, parted both anchors, and was driven out into the Channel, but, the wind shortly after moderating slightly, assistance was sent off to her, and she was brought to an anchorage again during the afternoon. Margate, Dover, and Folkestone harbours are crowded with vessels driven in by stress of weather, many of them with loss of topmasts and spars, and in Sandgate Bay yesterday afternoon there were no less than thirty-five vessels at anchor waiting more moderate weather to proceed up Channel. The steam communication with the Continent has been very materially interrupted by the weather. On Saturday the vessels had considerable difficulty in getting across, and on Sunday the Charon Government mail-packet, bound for Calais, after beating about in the Channel for some hours, was compelled to give up all hope of making that port, and put into Boulogne, where she landed her mails and passengers. The Charon was the first boat to leave Boulogne yesterday, and during her passage the sea rose so high that one of her passengers, who was seated on deck near the helmsman, was washed overboard when the vessel was about mid-channel. Fortunately the gentleman was a most expert swimmer, and, notwithstanding the buffeting of the waves, ho kept himself afloat until the packet was put about and a rope had been thrown to him, which he grasped firmly hold of, and was then rescued from his perilous Situation. The Folkestone boat did not go out on Sunday night, and her passengers remained at the south-Eastern Pavilion. The wind greatly moderated during the latter part of yesterday afternoon, and the Boulogne boat was within sight of Folke stone when the seven o'clock train left.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THB LONDON DOCKS. — Yesterday morning, about half-past twelve o'clock, an acci dent of a peculiarly frightful character happened in the East ern Basin of the London Dock, to a man named Thompson, belonging to the Sylph, a vessel trading to the West Indies, and which is now unloading at that quay. lie was aloft doing something to the rigging, when, from . some unex plained cause (being perfectly sober at , the time), his foot slipped, and he fell from the main-topsail yard, a height of perhaps 30 feet, head-foremost on to the deck, striking, in his descent, against the handle of the winch used for hoisting out the; sugar hogsheads, which the men had left hardly three minutes before. His skull was literally dashed to When by the fall, and the deck strewed with his brains. When taken up he was quite dead, and presented a shocking spectacle, the face being smashed to a mummy, and the arms and ribs completely broken. The horribly-mangled remains were conveyed on . a stretcher to the dead-hou se o f S t. George's-in-the-East, where they await a Coroner's inquest, which will be held at the Wellington public-house, adjoining the church, this day. What renders the occurrence the piprp, l amen table is, that the poor man had re,10.1 11 0 hi s w i t h a n d family only two • days before, after returning safely from a Yrie to tie Wesfluctio. Creed, when placed at the bar, affected to be both deaf and dumb, and his fellow prisoner said ho was so. The Magistrate sent to the workhouse for an interpreter; but Creed was no sooner placed in the passage of the Court than he commenced using the most abusive language towards the policeman who captured him, and replied to several questions. An interpreter, however, was sworn, when it appeared that, at seven o'clock on the previous evening, the pri soners, who were under the influence of liquor, went along the footway in Baldwin's-gardens and Gray's-inn lane, pushing the passengers into tho street. When remonstrated with, they used the foulest language. Police-constable 163 G came up. They then insulted a servant girl, who attempted to pass along on an errand. The officer took them into custody, and they at once fell upon him. The assistance of two other constables was obtained, whom the prisoners likewise kicked and 9404 in a rao4 ferocipus 14414114 !

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE, DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at NAWORTH CASTLE, CUMBERLAND. ' It falls to our lot to.reeord an account of one of the most woeful and destructive fires that, perhaps, ever occurred in the county of Cumb er l an d . - Ab out two o'clock ' on Saturday afternoon last, a most violent fire broke out at Naworth Castle, one of the seats of the Earl of Carlisle, when an ex press was immediately sent off to Carlisle ftir the fire engines and other assistance. The engines were almost instantly sent off by the railway, and arrived at the scene of destruction about six o'clock. progress and devastation of the fire in the meantime had proved so rapid and violent, that on the arrival of the engines the roofs of the principal building had fallen in, with the exception of the large tower, which the uncontrollable element had not reached. The exertions of the firemen were directed to the preservation of this tower, which, after the most venturesome and arduous work, was at last with great difficulty saved. There are various rumours afloat as to the origin of the fire. Some say that it was from one of the chimney fluos; others that it broke out in a room where had been no fire for years. We understand tharthe valuable collection of old paintings, by the best masters, and also. the ancient and valuable fur niture, were nearly all destroyed. The smoking ruins of Naworth Castle, are 411 now that remain of the baronial man sion of the great Barony of Gilsland, situate in a verdant park, embosomed among lofty trees on the south margin of the river Irthing. This specimen of a feudal residence con sisted of two lofty towers, connected by other masses of ma sonry, inclosing a quadrangular court. Up to the time of its destruction by fire, on Saturday last, it was kept up in the style in which it appeared when occupied by Lord William Howard, the "Belted Will" of "The Lay of the Last Min strel." Fortunate, however, it is for the sake of antiquity, that the tower which is saved is that which contains the private apartments and furniture,. his library, oratory, and armoury, which " convey a strong impression of the soli tary grandeur and inconvenient magnificence of the border feudal Lord." The private aphrtments communicate by secret passages with the dungeons; thus, whilst reading in his library, or engaged in his confessional, his eyes might still be directed towards his prisoners and their guards, so that it may be truly said of Naworth Castle, " that sus picion was its architect and fear its founder." Large concourses of people from Carlisle, Brampton, and the sur rounding districts, hastened to the spot to lend every assist ance in endeavouring to extinguish the fire, but without effect, except the :preservation of " Belted Will's" tower. Much credit is due to the firemen, and more especially to Mr. Richardson, ironmonger, of Carlisle, and other trades men, whose exertions were f the most arduous and daring character. - The fire was distinctly seen on the Botcherby• road at Carlisle, a distance of about ten miles, and being Saturday evening, thousands of people congregated there, to view the distant mighty flames, which illumined the whole canopy of the sky for miles around with a brightness and effect most wonderfully astonishing and sublime. The loss sustained by this fire cannot as yet be actually ascertained, but it will be enormous. No lives were lost. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR FOLKESTONE. Yesterday, shortly after three o'clock, much excitement was occasioned at Folkestone by the arrival of amounted ex press, with'intelligence that a tire of a most alarming charac ter had just broken out in the extensive homestead occupied by Mr. Taylor, and known as Enbrook Farm, situated about midway between Folkestone and Cheriton. The inhabitants were immediately on the alert to render the necessary assist ance, and a pair of horses, belonging to Mr. Vafyer, the postmaster of Sandgate, which were awaiting the arrival of a carriage at the railway station, having been attached to the fire-engine belonging to the parish of Folkestone, it was im mediately dispatched with an efficient body of men. On ar riving at the spot the fire was found to be raging furiously in the stack-yard belonging to the farm. Two wheat ricks were already destroyed,_ and the flames we re rap idl y extending themselves. Before water could be procured in any sufficient quantity to be of service, several adjoining stacks were on fire ; and, as a strong north-easterly wind was blowing at the time, small hope was entertained of saving any portion from the general.) wreck. The inhabitants of Sandgate and the adjoining villages soon assembled in great numbers, attracted by the dense volumes of smoke which arose from the burning mass; and it is only right to say that each vied with the other in endeavouring, by the most active exertions, to stay the progress of the fire. Unfortunately, however, from the dry and combustible nature of the stock and premises their efforts were of no avail, and within little more than half an hour of the outbreak a large barn full of wheat, all the ricks in the stack-yard, and various lesser out-buildings, were one complete burning mass. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that all those at work on the farm where the fire broke out could do was to remove the horses and other live stock out of danger. All hope of saving the farm-buildings having ceased, the efforts of the workmen were directed to the residence of Mr. Taylor, which fortunately stands rather removed from the home stead. Notwithstanding this circumstanee, however, it was several times in imminent danger, and escaped only by keeping the walls constantly cool. The fire in the stackyard and homestead continued to rage with undiminished violence, and only ceased when it had literally burnt itself out. When the last up-train left last night nothing remained but a heap of smouldering ruins. It is said that the accident originated from a spark supposed to have been blown from the locomotive engine of the eleven o'clock down-train into the stackyard, and from a personal inspection of the spot, such an occurrence appears extremely probable. Under ordinary - circumstances it appears sufficiently far removed from danger; but, yesterday the wind blew at some periods with such fearful violence near the coast, that it is impos sible to say where security might exist. It is said that the stoker was attending to the fire as the engine passed over the embankment, beneath which the farm is situate, and that a large number of red hot 'Anders fell from the fire near the spot. If this really be the case, the accident is easily accounted for. Mr. Taylor is a young man very highly respected, and, unfortunately, is stated to be un insured. THE RECENT MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. (FURTIIER PARTICULARS.) A correspondent sends us the following particulars of the melancholy accident at London-bridge Wharf, from an in quiry instituted yesterday (Monday) at the police stations in the city and at Wapping. The boat into which the children ventured belongs to a waterman named Williamson, and at the time of the accident it was rowed by his son, a youth nineteen years of age, who had been duly indentured to his father, and was, consequently, so far qualified to ply for hire upon the river. The boat, however, was not licensed, as it had been purchased only a few days, and the necessary instructions furnished in the 2d and 4th by-laws of the Master and Wardens of the Watermen's and Lightermen's Company had not been complied with. From the number of those already known to be lost, and those rescued, it is evi dent that more were taken on board the skiff than the law allows, as the proviso distinctly states that if more than eight persons are carried, the party is liable to a fine of 51. By an Act passed in 1742, such an offender would be liable not only to the amercement, but to a disqualification, amount ing to a prohibition from plying at all for twelve months. This statute, however, is rendered obsolete by the above by law, passed during the mayoralty of Alderman Lucas. The following is a correct list of' the persons known to be missing, and of those subsequently restored to their friends :—Lost, Julia Lane, aged twelve years, resident at Brin's-court, Southwark; Robert Thurlow, eight-and-a-half, 12, Shaftes bury-place, Aldersgate-street ; W. Newton, thirty-eight, Allen-street, Goswell-road. Up to this afternoon (Monday), other inquiries have been made, but it is not quite clear that the parties inquired for were on board the boat when she was upset. Restored, George Field, William Bird, Charles New ton (brother to the above, who went down) ; Joseph New som, and Henry Thurlow. A lad of the name of Leicester, who was supposed to be dead when taken into the Castle public-house, in St. Mary-at-hill, recovered after consider able !attention, and was eventually removed to his home. Another boy was restored at the Steam-packet Hotel, and furnished with a change of clothing by the landlord. It is to be hoped that the authorities will take immediate steps to stay the nuisance of these overcrowded boats, in so danger ous a part of the river. None of the bodies have at present been found. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BRUSSELS AND ANTWERP RAILWAY. ANTWERP, MAY 18.—A dreadful accident has occurred on the railroad from Brussels to Antwerp, at a station four miles from the latter town, named Bad Goed. The train which arrived at this station about five o'clock was, while in full progress, thrown off the line, and brought in contact with a luggage train. The concussion was fearful in the extreme ; three persons were brought in dead last night, fifteen grievously wounded, and about forty with contusions more or less serious. The accident is said to have been occasioned by the carelessness of the railway servants in attending to the points, so that at the junction with the Ostend line the car riages were thrown off the line, and came into collision with the baggage-train. Strange to say the engine, the tender and one carriage continued upon the proper line, but were violently separated by the concussion from the remain ing carriages. Another account states that the rail was under repair, and that one rail, which had been replaced, was imperfectly bolted and fastened at the extremity to wards Brussels. As the train passed over it the fastening was loosened, and after the passage of the first carriage the end tilted up, caught the wheel of the next carriage, which was thrown off the line,' and thus occasioned the accident. The carriages were crowded with passengers, and among them several English people. One Englishman was carried to the hospital of St. Elizabeth, but after having his wounds dressed was able to be removed to a private residence. I could not learn his name at the hospital, as his stay was short, and no record made. Another had his face severely cut and contused, so that his features could not be recognised ; and a third, who had left his own carriage and was tr a . veiling with his courier, was severely wounded in the legs, but not, it is to be hoped, to require amputation. An Eng. lish lady is also named as having been killed, but I will not repeat the name, as it is a common one, until I can ascertain if the report is correct.
