NEARLY 2,000 DWELLING-HOUSES DESTROYED. 12,00 PERSONS RENDERED TOTALLY DESTITUTE. To the Right Hon. MICHAEL GIBB, Lord Mayor of the City of London, &c., &c. Mir LO3D,—The recent calamitous Fire at QUebec has destroyed one-third part of the City. The scene of the 'Conflagration was densely inhabited, chiefly by a labouring population of Canadian French, who had crowded around the manufactories, and other Places of business, where they found employment. Their dwellings and the establishments which enabled- them to earn a mainte nance have been destrcyed together. In the brief space of twelve hours, property to the amount of nearly a million has been destroyed, and 12,009 hsmau beings left without food, a roof, clothing, or a bed to lie on. The fellow-colonists of the sufferers have exerted them selves nobly. In the course of a week upwards of 20,0001. was col lected it Quebec and Montreal, besides large supplies of provisions and clothes. But even during that week it had been necessary to expend one-fourth of the money subscribed to supply the daily wants of so many reduced to beggary. To rebuild the ruined quarters will require much time as well as money, and in a few months a Canadian Winter will close in open this mass of destitution. The necessity of the case has compelled the Citizens of Quebec to appeal for assis , ance to their fellow-subjects in the mother country and sister colonies. -Under these circumstances the undershmed respectfully request that your Lordship will be pleased to convene a Meeting of Merchants, tankers, and others, to originate a Subscription for tke relief of the sufferers in Quebec, and that you will also be pleased to preside on the occasieM • ...-• Y, IA 16.500 r FRIDAY 7 . 24 Eit?':4:l.; I 4 ` . •• .• ?g , R.' 4, • , _ _ _lnc Arts, to the approaching Sale s at - his Auction Rooms in Covent garden, on MONDAY NEXT' July 7th, and six following days, (Sunday excepted), of ALL THE RARE, VALUABLE, AND SINGULARLY CURIOUS PROPERTY.

Mr. Green is attracting the public again, By taking an aerial flight, now and then, Two journeys last week did he make in his car, And travers'd the keavenly regions afar. Well, what's to be said on a silken balloon ? Don't fear, gentle reader, we'll show very soon ; While gazing on Green in his lofty position, We could not help calling to mind competition Competition we mean in a general sense, Which strives to attain to a " height " most immense— We can't avoid smiling at what has been done, To rise o'er the fame of E. MOSES and SON. Competition puffed out like an " airy " Balloon, Will "sink " in the public esteem very soon, And "fall to the ground," amid laughter and joke, And end all its " lofty pretension in smoke !" Not so with the Warehouse of MOSES and SON, This will still stand as " high " as it always has done ; Ev'ry day it is "rising" in public esteem, While its prices are "falling as " low "as "our" theme. With this we conclude the few rhymes we have spun, On the " Nassau Balloon," and E. MOSES and SON.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.-DRY GAS METERS, DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test o six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses, of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Clab-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula- Lion or rep - air, sad which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES possess the following properties, and are now practically admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c. They are applicable to these vessels, of every size and shape, from the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in diameter : They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive in its nature, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious to moisture. They preserve the contents of the vessels to which they are applied perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy, or fetid. They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and the noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin. They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil ; the capsule being made of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above useless tinsel, besides having the advantage of being applied with much greater ease and rapidity. They have also the very important property of affording absolute security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions. In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the ' Use of the Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly i n tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating matter, to the fingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every thing with which it comes in contact ; and prevents the falling of such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid. Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, Oils, Mustard, Ink, Blacking, &c., &c., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which will not incur extra expense. Further particulars may be had, and orders received, at the Manu factory, No. 1, WHARF-ROAD, CITY-ROAD. G RE AT PROPHECY FULFILLED FOR THE YEAR 1845. The whirlwind rushed ; the hailstorm poured ; - The earthquake shook ; the ocean roared. The lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled, As Merlin stood, in the days of old, And thus to King Arthur prophesied, On the things which to England would betide : • " When on Britain's throne there sits a Queen; And London pav'd with wood is seen ; When the muse her temple lends to aid The sacred struggle for Free Trade, On Ludgate's mighty hill shall rise, To fix a wond'ring nation's e 3 es, A firm of Brothers—SAMUELnani'd— Who soon through Europe shall be fam'd. • . The Trade of the City they'll cause to increase, And shape the Saxon and British fleece In Raiment rare at such trifling cost That men in amazement will •be lost ! AN ORIGINAL PLAN these Brothers will trace Which enamoured Commerce will swift embrace, And by•means of which the country wide .. Shall clothe like nobles in their pride ; Yet drain no more from their money bags • Than if they wore the coarsest rags !" So spako the Prophet, iu learning skilled, • And mark how his words have been fulfilled. . On Ludgate-hill, number Twenty-nine, The SAMUEL, BROTHERS, rear their sign ; The flu of Economy they've unfurled — Their House is the Cheapest in the World ! Far Vetter than others then clothe the Peer, But charge not a twentieth part so dear; The Gentleman, there, with an income low, Can make a Gentleman's proper show; The striving Tradesman on Sunday now With his well-dress'd neighbour may raise his brow ; The sighing Lover can meet his maid, And not of appearance be afraid.

With CLOT a the best throughout the land, • And WORKMANSHIP of cunning hand. The Reader will ask, by what wonderful aid The SAMUEL, BROTHERS, conduct such a trade, On a plan so, extensive—a system so large, And yet at a third of the usual charge? The answer is this :—They have money at will; High Character, Judgment, Experience, and Skill ; They buy up their Cloth where 'tis wove at the loom, And pay Ready Cash ere 'tis carted for home. And thus Capital gains them, by aid of this rule, A stock of best Cloth at the Price of the Wool ! The assortment a Conoisseur's eye would bewitch, 'Tis so strong and so fine, so varied and rich? On each piece, in plain figures, is marked the COST PRICE PER YARD, which a customer sees in a trice. He selects what he likes, and then only need take The quantity needful the garment to make. Thus he gets the 31 tTERIALS at exact the PRIME COST, And knows that by " Cabbage " an inch wor.'t be lost. For the MAKING he pays such a wondrous small sum, That it seems to the makers no profit could come, * And yet the FIRST TALENT TIIE EMPIRE CAN YIELD, Has been brought by these Brothers so rare, in the field 1 And if, after all, the Nsw Suit should not please, YOUR CASH IS RETURNED with politeness and ease.

J. Barrett, Esq., London J. Hughes, Esq., 1, Grenville-street, Dublin This railway is intended to connect the midland counties and towns of Ireland with the cities and harbours - of Limerick, Waterford, and Dublin ; and passing through the rich district of the Golden Vale, the most productive land in the south, embraces the traffic of the best inland- towns in Ireland, amongst which may be mentioned Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carrick-on-Suir, Thurles, Callan, Killenaule, Fethard, &c. The districts traversed by this line are well known for their rich ness in all articles of export, such as Corn, Flour, Cattle, Bitter, Pigs, Eggs, Fowls, &c. &c., and are not less remarkable for the con sumption of the ordinary commodities forming the import trade of Ireland. This line is- intended to commence in the eastern suburbs of the town of Clonmel, and thence passing by Fethard, runs close to the Sllevardagh collieries, keeping parallel with, and contiguous to the coal district for upwards of seven Miles; it passes through the town of Callan, and holding nearly a direct line, enters the city of Kil kenny on the north-west side, near the new cathedral, where a fa vourable site for a convenient terminus presents itself. At Kilsheelan- It is intended to construct a branch from the Limerick and Water ford Railway, which, sweeping round the base of Slievenaman, will unite with the main line near Feshard. The Thurles branch is in tended to leave the main trunk line at Fethard, and passing near Killenaule and through the coal-fields of Slievardagh, will form a junction with the Dublin and Cashel Railway at Thurle , . Until the traffic of this latter branch becomes more fully developed, it is in tended to work it as a single line, taking land, however, and making the permanent work.; for a double way. The present quantity of coals and culm raised at the Slievardagh collieries, amounts annually to over 80,000 tons, the greater portion of which is brought to the towns of Thurles, Fethard, Callen, and their vicinities; and there can be no doubt that the advantages afforded by railway transit will have the effect of Increasing the present consumption of this article to a very considerable extent throughout this large and improving agricultural district. • There are not any engineering difficulties, and the gradients are most favourable. The absence of tunnelling, viaducts, or other' works of magnitude will enable the line to be constructed at a very moderate expense. • The ptpulatioa of the thickly-inhabited country adjacent to, and traversed by the Railway, cannot be taken at less than a million, and the Railway Commissioners' Reports, with their passenger and traffic reusing of 1836 (which may Le referred to) show that the principal streams of intercourse in the central parts of Ireland are along•the course this line of railway is intended to take. The value of the exports and imports of Limerick and Waterford, according. to the Commissioners' Reports, amounted, in 1836, to up wards of four millions and a half sterling. It has been ascertained that at the present time it amounts to considerably mote ; and when it is considered that the chief supply and consumption of the trade of the • above-named ports depends upon the localities traversed by this Railway and its branches, no doubt can be entertained that the principal intercourse through -the Midland Counties of Ireland will be carried on this line. In its course by Killenaule the line intersects the well-known col-. lieriss of Slievardagh (which are now worked most prosperously by the Mining Company Of Ireland), and its extension to Nenagh will connect the Middle Shannon (the improvements of which noble river are progressing rapidly) with the Harbour of 'Waterford, by a nearly direct line* through the most fertile and populous dis trict in the Southern.and Central parts of Ireland. The branch from Callen to the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway at Kelly, about three mileS in length, will not only form a valuable feeder to the main trunk-line, but will also afford direct Railway communicationand the south and s hetworth „ ,,st of nll e lecent l r r a e l la p n a a. rt s of the county of Kilkenn y , This projected Railway, connecting Clonmel wit h the city of Kil kenny, being the two principal inland towns in Ireland, secures the largest and 'most valuable streams of traffic in the interior of the country. It will form 8 valuable auxiliary to the proposed lines in the south and north of Ireland now before Parliament. The data- furnished by the Railway Commissioners of the traffic of the localities traversed by this Railway have been carefully exa mined, and they have been ascertained to be considerably below the present traffic. Without calculating on any increase of merchandise, or other existing traffic than that arising from passengers, and after deducting 40 per cent. from the gross receipts for working expenses, on a very moderate tariff of charges, there remains a net profit of upwards of 56,0.001. per annum, being more than 9 per cent. on the capital.

T II ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The Directors have the satisfaction to infirm the Proprietors that they have succee led in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant for sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly advantageous to the Company. -This line presents no engineering difficulty', and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the railway already in operation between Leghorn and l'isa, by means of the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to about 265,000/. sterling, one third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the _Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement, by which avail was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants tbr the railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share holders, enter upon other • railway undertak ngs in the Italian and Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter mined upon doing so, and upon giving to the Shareholders the - option of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for , the valuable * grant they have now obtained for the railway from Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other places in Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall pay such cans as shall be made from time to time by the Directors for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation.

The Committee of Management, taking into consideration that the Cornwall Railroad Company (South-Coast) is likely to obtain its Act this session, anti that the Plymouth and Tavistock Railway Com pany (atmospheric) will be postponed until next session, and also considering the very urgent recommendations made to their de putation, which recently went into Devonshire, have to announce to the Shareholders of the Bideford and Taristock Company their In tention of making a Branch from Tavistock to Liskeard, the gradients of which have, on the examination of their engineers, proved far more favourable than had been anticipated, by which Branch the Bideford and Tavistock Company will be come part of the grand trunk line from Falmouth via Lis keard and • Exeter, to London. One hour will thus be saved (taking into account the half hour in passing the Hamoaze), as compared with the journey from Exeter to Liskeard, as at present proposed • that is to say, from Exeter to Plymouth over the South Devon line, and from Plymouth to Liskeard over part of the Cornwall line. The Bideford and Tavistock Company also propose another branch from Tavistock to Plymouth, the course of which, with favourable gradients, has been surveyed. The carrying out of this branch will secure great additional traffic, by offering a passage from Exeter to Plymouth on a line of very superior gradients, and only about three miles longer than that on the Scuth Devon line. A map and prospectus will be published in a few days. In the meantime applications for shares may be made to the Secretary, 30, Basinghall : street, accompanied with references.

The rain deizzled down abundantly enough, though not sufficiently to prove the old adage that "it never rains but it pours." The exhibition was, however, well attended, and, owing to the judicious arrangement for - entering anti passing through the tents, the company met and separated without the slightest cause for complaint. The band of the Royal Horse Guards. (Blue), and the lst and the 2d Life Guards, played some favourite airs during the exhibition. One novelty on this occasion was the competition for the prizes of fruits. The show of grapes, melons, pines, &c., attracted general attention ; and the stove and green houseplants, the orchidaceous plants, and the roses, both cut and In pots, were as usual extremely fine ; the collections of the cut roses being beautiful, and more than ordinarily numerous. The principal exhibitors were Lady Antrobus, Miss Trail!, Mrs. Law rence, Mr. Rucker, Mr. Norman,, and Mr. Cook. Among the nurserymen, Messrs. Luccombe and Co., and Messrs. Price, of Exeter, and others. Before the admission of the public, the Queen and her illustrious guests the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Cambridge, arrived in view the flowers and grounds, at which time the weather Was for tunately very propitious. APPALLING MURDER TN GALASIIIELS.--A. murder was committed here on the evening of Thursday week, under most distressing circumstances. The deed was committed on Mrs. Lees, an old Wagtail of eighty . ..two years of age, by her daughter, Euphe. mia Lees, who for a number of years had been residing with her, and at no former period had she ever exhibited the least severity or harshness towards her aged parent, but had always been esteemed for her kindness and devotion to her mother's wants. From inqui. ic o t l and wh lowness of spirits ; and also l rtes which we have made we h ave ascertained that the daughter wasuat h s e v,a subject,s anfnched yit to periodicallyfitsof melancholy paroxysms of rage. On the Sunday morning previous one of her neighbours observed her countenance and manners to wear a different aspect, and on the evening of Thursday she became violent and outra. genus. In fact, her whole conduct previous and subsequent tO:the tragic event leaves not a doubt but that she was insane at the time she committed the deed. From what she admitted —anti the post morteni examination of the body confirms the statement—she pounced on her mother while the latter was in bed, and thrust her hand into her mouth and throat, producing sheath by suffocation. When some of the persons who lived in the same house obtained admission, the scene was appal. ling. The body of the old woman lay on the middle of the floor, steeped in blood, a blood vessel having been ruptured in the death struggle ; and in the bed sat the insane murderer, with her hands and . arms reeking with b!o , d, singing at the top of her voice. " Highland Laddie." On being asked what induced her to kilt her mother, she answered, " I have killed the devil ; had I not done so I would have been in hell tomorrow"—words which at once indicate her insanity. Early on Friday morning the autheritt ties were on the spot taking pree.ognitions, and inquiring into the circumstances connected with the melancholy occurrence. Hitherto the woman has borne an irreproachable character, and her attention to her mother was exemplary. She has been committed to prison. since which time she has been rude and noisy, ---Kelso SOUTHSTAFFORDSHIRE JUNCTION.
