SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this dap • •at 10 minntes past Three o'clock, " 'be 't U+ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING; JANUARY 9, 1836. The Times, as old POLoxrus says of HAMLET, is " still harping on my Lughter"—still keeping up the stale clamour about the unprincipled coalition between O'CoNNF.LL and the Ministers. " The NELDOURNE Whigs," observes our Cotemporary," depend upon and indulge him in everything which he yet deems it pru dent to require. Hence he gives them his disin terested' and generous' .support. The price of it is to be his str e reme dominion over. Ireland—a bill which has some time to run, though of enormous value." Supreme dominion o.,•er Ireland, indeed I What stuff and nonsense is this? Why, if Mr. O'CON NELL desired to strengthen and perpetuate his influence Over the sister country, he would, instead of support ing the Whigs; do his best to opposc and eject them from office ; for as it was the Tory policy that first gave him power in Ireland, so it is the same perverse system, no matter how subdued or modified by circum stances, that. would be the chief means of continuing it. Mr. O ' CONNELL ' S " dOnlilli011" is the child of Tory misrule. Do away with this misrule.; remove the grievances which have made him what he is ; and Ise nolonge: stands out as the Arch-Agitator, whose word is all but .law, but falls back into the ranks of peaceful citizens, and is lost amon, the mass. In this O enlightened spirit Ministers are now legislating to wards Ireland; and if they persevere their reme dial system, Mr. O'CONNELL will in a abort time be no more than an active, industrious,intelligent M.P. His vocation, as Agitator, and his infl uenc e as Dictator, will be alike destroyed. None can be more fully aware of this than himself; and none, therefore, can be more justified in proclaiming that ths - support of Governthent is as "generous" as it is " disin terested :" such an assertion is no boast, but the strictest - truth. Were. Mr. O'CaNN ELL the selfish, Factious, unprincipled demagogue, that his enemies re. , present him to be, he would he the re:v last to oppose the restoration of the 'forks to office. We have received New York papers to the 22d of December, from which copious extracts are given in another part of The Sun. On the 16th an awful con flagration destroyed upwards of seven hundred houses, warehouses, shops, stores, and public buildings. The loss incurred is supposed to exceed thirty millions of - dollars ! The fire broke out in Merchant -street, about nine o'clock on the evening of the 16th, and continued to rage, with almost unabated fury, till the evening of the 18th. The Mercantile Advertiser of the 17th states that several lives were lost, in consequence of the sud den falling of one of the walls of the Exchange, which then presented a mass of smoking ruins. The fire de stroyed Wall-street, Water-street, South-street, Pearl street, Merchants' Exchange, Exchange-place, Hano ver-street, Front-street, Hanover-square, Old-slip, Coenties-slip, and Governor-lane. The New York Morning Nercs of the 20th, states that' " the confla gration was the most appaling and destructive with which any city of modern times has been visited. If we except the fire of London in 1666, the burning of Moscow, and the great fire at Canton, we know of no instance where the destruction of property at all equalled that which occurred in this city on Wednesday night. The richest section of our city lies in ruins. Many hundred stores, filled with the costly products of the labour and skill of every portion of the world, are now, with their contents, mere masses of stnouldering rubbish. Probably in no city in the world could there have been selected a section of the same extent, containing a greater amount of valuable merchandise than that which was destroyed by the late fire; and, certainly, never since our existence as a na tion, has a calamity befallen this country so dreadful and so extensive." Amidst such scenes of desolation and distress, it is consolatory to find the inhabitants vying with each other in endeavours to repair the losses that have been sustained, instead of uselessly deploring their occurrence. As early on the 19th as the extent of the division of the City destroyed by the fire was ascertained, a meeting of the merchants and influential inhabitants was held, for the purpose of alleviating the individual distress and remedying the public injury. We subjoin a report of it : f 1 T _PI, SUN , , ON. SATU I)A J UAB.Y . 9, ; MEETING AT THE CITY HALL. A great meeting of the merchants and c itizens was held yesterday at the Supreme Court Room, City Hall, to take into consideration the best means to relieve the mercantile community, and the sufferers generally, from the distress occasioned by the late conflagration. His Honour the Mayor presided, assisted by thirteen vice presidents, and twelve secretaries were appointed. James G. King, Dudley Selden, James Munroe, and James 8.. Murray addressed the meeting. On the motion of J. G. King, Esq. Resolved, That while the citizens of New York. lament over the ruin that has left desolate the most valuable part of this city, and deeply sympathize with the numerous suf ferers, it becomes them, not to repine, but to unite in a vi gorous exertion to repair the loss ; that the extent of her commerce, the number, wealth and enterprize of her citi zens, justifies, under the blessings of Divine Providence, a primary reliance upon her own resources. Resolved, That we consider it the duty of our citizens and moneyed institutions, who stand in the relation of cre ditors to those who have directly or indirectly suffered by the late fire, to extend to them the utmost forbearance and lenity. Oa the motion of Dudley Beldest, , Rsei,:::ll , fir.,,L Resolved, that a committee consisting of the Mayor and one hundred and twenty-five citizens be appointed to ascertain the extent and probable value of property de stroyed, and how far the sufferers are protected by insu rance. Also with power to make application to Congress for relief, by an extension of credit for debts due the United States, and a return or remission of duties on goods - destroyed. And also, to ask such other aid from the general state and city governments as may be deemed expedient. Also, to ascertain the origin and cause of the fire, and what change, if any, should be made either in the regulating of streets, the - erection of buildings, or the arrangements of the fire department, to prevent a recur rence of similar calamities, and to take such other mea sures as the emergency may demand. Resolved,—That the Committee to be appointed, take the earliest and most effectual measures to ascertain and relieve the urgent necessities of all those who have been reduced to want by the recent unfortunate event. On the motion of Colonel Murray, Resolved,—That the thanks of this meeting be, and they are hereby tendered to the citizens of Philadelphia, Brook lyn, and Newark, for the spontaneous expression of their sympathy in our misfortunes, and that they he especially tendered to the firemen of those cities, who, with a promp titude and kindness unexampled, have left their homes at this inclement season to offer their services, and which they are now rendering at the scene of the calamity. Resolved,—That the members of the Two Boards of Common Council be members (ex officio) of the Committee. We are happy to state that the general opinion of the people of New York, as conveyed to us in the Journals to the 22d inclusive, was favourable to a cordial reconciliation between France and the United States. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday, together with a condensed report of the proceedings in the Chamber of Peers on Wednesday. The Address in answer to the Speech from the .Throne was carried without a single amendment on a division in which the numbers were—Majority, ninety-n►ne Minority, eight. It will be seen from the debate that followed that the fate of Poland will not be overlooked during the present Session of the Chambers. On this question we find the following important article, evi dently from of a Member of the Cabinet, in the Journal des DeGats " Now that questions of foreign policy are no longer mingled with questions of internal revolution,.. France, mis tress of herself; and the Chambers that we present her, will bestow a freer attention upon them. Already it may be foreseen that foreign politics will kohl an important place in the commencing session. The Chamber of Peers has this day opened these high and serious diseuss:c,ns. M. de Tas cher 'troth' have had the Chamber express, in its .achlress in reply to the speech from the Crown, the formal wish of seeing France, in Concert with her allies, insist upon the maintenance of the treaties of Vienna in respect to Poland. He energetically sketched the misfintuncs of that nation, and the spirit of successive invasion that directs the policy of the St. Pete' rz.burgh Cabinet. If the wish of M. de Tascher; backed by M. de Monteiambert, and by an elo quent extempore oration of M. Villcniain, has - not given rise to amodification o f the projected a ddresS, a t l eas t the sentiments expressed by.the noble orators have met with the unanimous approbation of the Chamber. " It must not be thought that these have been vain and sterile words, because no immediate effect has followed them. The Chamber has deemed that it behoved it to confide in the wisdom of Government. A great reserve of language may be imposed upon Government itself, which menaces only when it has resolved to strike ; it is not the less expedient that even isolated voices should not suffer a prescription of treaties, but incessantly protest against their violation. Russia may assume a conquering tone ; Europe acknowledges no other right than those she derives from the treaties of Vienna, and as long as there shall be a king dom of Poland for Europe, there shall be one for Russia. Her usurpation shall not be a tranquil one ; the recollec tion of violated treaties will, in her own eyes, leave her right in suspense ; the irritation itself of her language will show the anxiety of her conscience ; the moral existence of Polish nationality will uphold her material existence, in despite of all the efforts of violence to annihilate it. Bound together as all the nations of Europe now are, they feel that their deeds, to he lawful, require to be sanctioned by the con sent of the other Powers. Russia did not alone make the Treaties of Vienna ; she shall not destroy them by her sole authority. is, besides, " In this question of Poland there thing more sacred still than treaties—it is the rights of outraged humanity. Were the treaties of Vi enna not in existence, Europe, in the name of the common interest of civilized nations, in the name of justice and of her own glory, would Ai have a right to protest against a policy which tends to nothing less than the extirpation from the earth of a great people. There exists, thank God, amongst all the nations of Europe, a common tin of civilization, justice, and humanity. Nations and their Governments are in this respect dependent upon each other. \\len hu manity and justice are anywhere outrageon..lv viclated, hu manity and justice everywhere ,feathe blow. If even ,the,, treaties of Vienna did not oblige Rassia to respect the.in tegrity of the kingdom of Poland if the last insurrection could have authorized Russia to withdraw or suspend the -Constitution given to . Poland, humanity would Oblige her to respect, to spare, a vanquished people ; nothing could have authorized her to exterminate, methodicnily, a whole kople, a generous people, under the eyes of Europe. If Russia chooses to bc included in the number of civilized na tions, she must submit to the law of civilization, " For our part, we thank the noble orators that have this day so well upheld this holy cause. If public opi nion persist in its remonstrances, they will, at length,: be listened to. It is a force to which everything gives way —and there is not ,in Europe a single Goya:n:lent, that can long stand its accusation. Even at Moscow its voice is attended to." It is easy to gather from the above the opinions en tertained by the head of the French Government with respect to the nationality of Poland. The Journal Iles. Debats expresses the sentiments of the influential pottion of the. Cabinet ; for in point of fact, it never was more a Ministerial Journal than since it pro claimed its freedom from all _Ministerial control. There is no other intelligence of any importance. in these Journals. PARIS, JAN. 0.--The ,134rcelona Jqnrnals of the 2 Sth and 29th December, inform Us that Aril* .icim men cod his operations on the 23d, by occupying Without striking a blow San Lorenie - de Peteris, Where'ilM'Carlists of Cata lonia had their principal place of refuge and depot. The rebels retreated into the fortified chapel of La Vierga del Host, against which the fire was opened on the ?;id in the morning. On that day eight or ten bombs were thrown into the building, the belfry of which was thrown down. In the evening the Carlists;Withoiii i iudicating any intention of surrendering, shod' ieveral prisciners, which has exaspe rated the besiegers, who will give no quarter to the rebels if they succeed in their attack. PARIS, JAN. 7.—We'saicl that on the invitation of the Committee of the Address, the President of the Council was to g 9 to -day to give the explanations 'asked of him re specting the American treaty ; but M. de Broglie has sent word that his presence being necessary in the Chamber of Peers, he could not make till to-morrew the communica tions promised by the Government. - This circumstance will delay the presentation of the Address for one day at least. Notwithstanding the reserve of the Members of the Com mittee, we have reason to believe that very animated dis cussions have taken place. To-day the Committee sat till half-past six o'clock. The letters from Brest, whiCh we have published from time to time, and those which have arrived to-day, an nounce that the naval armaments, and the assembling of seamen for the crews of 'the vessels already armed, and those which are prepa.ring'tO be so, are not relaxed ; it is the same at Toulon: _ _ _ Our correspondent at. St. Sebastian writes on the 3d of January that Guetaria was taken by the Carlists on the Ist ; that the Queen's troops had to the last behaved in the most scandalous manner, committing all kinds of excesses in the town. The National Guard, who had done their duty, had arrived at St. Sebastian by sea.—illessager, Jan. 7. We have received Lisbon papers to the 29th of December. The marriage of the Queen of PORTU GAL with Prince FERDINAND AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg, was to be celebrated by proxy, on New Year's Day ; the Duke of TERCEIRA having been appointed to represent the PRINCE. The same ceremonies will take place as did on the occasion of the QUEEN'S for mer marriage. There was a rumour in circulation to the effect that the QUEEN meditated a change of Ministry. We have received Montreal Papers to the 11th December. They mention that among the proceedings of the Legislative Council, Mr. Moffat moved the appointment of a special Committee to consider the state of the trade of the province ; and instructions have accordingly been given on the subject of the lumber trade. These papers also give an account of a 'Constitutional meeting held, and say :—" We are enabled this day to give an outline of the speeches de livered at the Constitutional Meeting of Monday last. To the determined nature of those addresSes,'we would particulary direct the attention of our readers at a dis tance, as indicative of the strong and excited state of the public feeling in the'city, and of the opinion enter tained by a highly influential, wealthy, and numerous portion of our Community,"in relation to the present prospect of our political affairs. "Me can assure our friends at a distance, that the members of the Constitutional . Association are fully resolved to resist the encroachments of their enemies ; that they are prepared to- resist the collection of any taxes laid upon the people of the. Colony, who are de nied a share'of the representation, and whose views and opinions are daily insulted ; that, however un pleasant may be the task, they are determined to refuse obedience to every law which is passed by an assembly within whose walls their voice cannot be heard:" The outline of the speeches are too long to be given—they consist of five columns.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. TORY TRICKERY AT STANIFORD DEFEATED. Stamford, Friday, Jan. 8; 1836. Sta,—You are aware that the: unconstitutional inter ference of a certain Nobleman has inflicted upon this bo rough 'a majority of his corrupt Tory retainers !as Town Councillors, and that but four Liberals—Messrs. - Ashby, Butt, Newcomb, and Hatfield—are members of the. Coun cil. It is also known to you that the. Duke of Wellington has this week been on a visit at Belton House, the seat of Earl Brownlow ; and to-morrow his Grace is to dine with the Marquis of Exeter, at Burghley House. Last night we had a Charitable Ball here, at which the Marquis was pre sent ; and his wish being communicated that a complimen tary Address to the Duke of Wellington from the new Town Council should be presented, the Mayor (Dr. Hop kinson)—a thick-and-thin Tory—this morning issued a cir cular to the members of the Council, to assemble at three o'clock this afternoon for that purpose.* His Worship, • however, " reckoned without his host," for the Liberals— disgusted at this attempt to give a political character to the new Corporation, and that, too, by voting an Address to a strenuous opponent of all Reform—were promptly at their posts ; and Mr. Newcomb, after deprecating the political objects of the promoters of the meeting, showed that the whole proceeding was informal, for by the 69th section of the Municipal Reform Act, three clear days' notice of any meeting of the Council shall be given to each member of that body. There was a strong muster of " men upon whom my Lord can rely," and there is no doubt that, but for this "exposition of the law," they would have belied the reiterated professions of the new Mayor, "that party politics ought to be discarded from civic duties"—and have voted an address to the Tory Duke. As it was, his Worship, I hear, repudiated all po litical motives in the course he had adopted—avowed his ignorance of the section of the Act referred to—and re gretted that he had been guilty of - such an irregularity in convening the meeting. Unhappily; having a Tory majority on the Council, we have no " open Courts" here ;.- and, therefore, I am unable to communicate more fully the details of what his Grace of Wellington will call an " untoward event :" but the truth will ooze out even through closed doors, and upon the main facts of this stafement ytm may rely. The Liberals here - have•a hard battle to fight, and need all the help which the Liberal Press—amongst whom The Sun is honourably distinguished—can afford to them. I trust, therefore, you will promptly give the aid of your ex tensive circulation in promulgating these facts, as an encou ragement to Liberal Ministers similarly circumstanced not, to 'flinch • from their duty through despair of success. Your's, in h a ste, • A STAMFORDIAN. * To-morrow we elect three more Councillors here ; and I confidently trust the proceedings of to-day will have a happy influence on that election, by promoting an addition to the snlall but determined phalanx of Liberals in the body. SERVICE of PLATE to SIR FRANCIS FREELING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—l observe that the Clerks in the General Post Office have presented Sir Francis Freeling with a service of Plate to the value of 1,2001. Nothing can be more na tural, nothing more just than this return on their part for being maintained in profuse salaries and extravagant com pensations, accompanied by the most uncompromising atten tion to their personal ease and bodily comforts. The Clerks in the London Post Office are indebted to the erroneous and antiquated system maintained under Sir Francis Freeling's long reign, for a degree of indulgence happily unknown in any other Post Office in the three Kingdoms, not even known in that Post Office lately held up to such public execration—namely, that of Dublin. The Clerks in the London Post Office not only do no night duty, but have the department so arranged as to get their morning's work over before the usual hour of a comfortable breakfast ; and the remainder of their duty is so managed as to be also over in time for the fashionable hour of going to dinner in London ; after which, like lords and other gen tlemen, they may enjoy their " otium cum dignitate " for the night. Therefore I entirely approve of their presenting the service of plate, and earnestly hope it has been appro priately and boldly emblazoned with all the various allego rical designs of hot rolls and buttered toast on one side, and the requisites of a well stored dinner-table on the other. Bqt let it be asked how the people of England, Ireland, and Scotland have fared in consequence of all this ease and luxury to their Clerkships, and their superior Officials in the London -Post Office ? The true answer is, that they have had palmed on them the most monstrous injustice ever heard of ;- for it appears evident to all the uninitiated that to accommodate the Officials, high and low, in the London Post Office, it has cost the entire Empire, London excepted, the ACTUAL STOPPAGE FOR TWELVE HOURS DAILY, and FORTY-EIGHT. HOURS, between Saturday and Mon day, EVERY WEEK IN LONDON, not only of the whole cor respondence of this country, but that also from every, part of the world. Think of the injustice done to all the com mercial and manufacturing interests of England, Ireland, and. Scotland, by the advantage thus added to the many others already enjoyed -by the citizens of London over the rest of the-Country —namely, a start of twelve hours daily to buy and sell in every market, domestic and foreign, and forty-eight hours weekly, which last is still more injurious ; and, marvellous though it be, yet it is true, that to this degrading- and -unjust system the people are not only sub jected at this very moment, but are compelled to witness the clerks in the General Post-office of London wallowinc , in Wealth, drawn from their pockets, in the name of salaries, fees, perquisites, emoluments, and compensations;without any CON STITUTIONAL sanction or controul, and glorying in the means they are thus possessed of, to an extent unknown in any other Post-office, to 'reward their chief; and ,that of the system, in order to throw dust in men's eyes,.and, thereby maintain a monopoly of wealth and indulgence„ . , no less odious in its nature and effects,. than it is disgusting to.- every liberal mind, and 'to every man who duly appreciates the benefits of equal rights and privileges being extended freely and fully over the whole of the commercial and manufacturing interests of this industi•ious and enterprising 'nation. Who, let it be asked, ever expected to see in these days of pro fessed economy and retrenchment, so barefaced an act as this plate-giving by the officers of the London Post-office ? I ask again, where is the other public office whose s u b a lt ern officers have such profusion of pay and allowances, and per quisites, and fees, and so forth, as would enable them to think for a moment of investinc , their means in services o f plate to give away.? These clerks have outwitted them selves, I suspect, and so have their superiors, who have encouraged or permitted this ostentatious display. The Report by the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Management of the Post-office will now soon be before Parliament, and it will be seen whether the officials in the London Post-office will be authorised by it to discontinue their duties, while others are at work, and thereby stop the correspondence of the world ; or by being placed under the control and management of a Board of Commissioners, bred up to businoss, and to be solely occupied with it, and who will therefore know how to repress such profusion in pay and ebullitions of the fancy in future. Now is the proper time for the people to instruct their Representatives how to act regarding the future and better management of the Post-office. Mails running into and out of London by day, as well as by night, and clerks ready to work, as they do every where else, is the true and only remedy, and will at once put an end to the unnecessary stpppage of our correspondence, and to that profusion of pay which induces services of plate being given by subaltern officers, paid out of the postage of letters, wrung most tyrannically and extravagantly, and most unwisely too, from the very poorest and most wretched among the people. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Kelly, Jan. 1, 1836. ROBERT WALLACE. HOLBORN HILL. (From the . .drelateetural Magazine for January, conducted by J. C. Loudon.) Various plans have, within the last thirty years, been proposed for getting rid of the steepness of this hill. Tile best of all these plans, in our opinion,is one by which it is proposed to raise the ,street at the northern extremity of Farringdon-street about 10 ft., and lower the highest part of Holborn-101 3 ft. or 4 ft., forming an irregular slope between the two points. The houses and the footpaths on each side might easily be adjusted to this change. At the bottom of Holborn-hill, the first floors would be turned into t shops, and in the highest part of Holborn the shops, instead of. being on a level with the foot pavement, would be two steps higher ; or there might be two steps from the foot pavement to the street paVement ; or both, if necessary. • This is a crude outline of a plan which, we are of opinion, • is decidedly the best ; but we may be quite wrong, and, at all events, it is our duty to lay before our readers anything new Which 'occurs' on the subject. The last plan, then, is designed by J. Burnard and Stephen Geary, architects. It proposes to cut into the • houses on the north side of -BolbOrii, from Batton-pardon to Snow-hill, and on the spaoe so obtained Co erect a level street on a basis of shops and entresoles. A neat lithographic engraving is given of these shops, and of the new range of houses which it is pro posed to erect, beyond them, on the space cut out as before mentioned. The worst part of the plan is, that it leates the steepness of Holborn-hill just where it was, as does every other plan but that which we have mentioned above. We cannot wish it success, because we do not consider it a ratheal improvement ; however well it may look on paper, and in the prospectus, in which it is proposed to raise a capital of 350,0001., to carry it into execution: We do not Consider this a radical improvement, because it does not extend to all ; for, by leaving the hill, and the shops on each side of it; there would be nearly as great a temptation tcrgo up and-. down the hill as there is at present. No plan; therefore, 'Which proposes to have shops on the hill with its present slope, is, in Our opinion, worth listening to, We learn from 13nrckhardt, that among the Arabs a man has an exclusive right to the hand of his cousin ; he is not obliged to marry her, but she cannot, without his con sent, --become the wife - of any other person. Flu usually says, ." She was my slipper, I cast her off." In this they seem to follow the ancient custom of the Jests ; 'for it is to be observed that Boaz, before be took Ruth to wife, applied to one who was snore nearly related to her than himself; to know whether he would make use of his right of redemp tion, and did not marry her till this Man had afforded it.— Scriptural Elucidations. THE CITY OF SOLITUDE.—The people of Broeck (in Holland) are not only unsocial among them selves, but avoid all intercourse with strangers ; they scarcely ever see one another, except at the kirk, nor do they gene rate their species rapidly. The men seldom marry before forty, or about the time the father leaves the house, to the son, and lays low in the kirkyard. The women wed not until their bloom bath fled ; but it is not their fault, but that of the ice-hearted swain. They seldom move further froth their hotises than in the evening or morning to look at their flower gardens, and on the Sunday to kirk. Wh en a man and woman marry, they and their parents b ecome as much strangers to eo.c . il other as if they were not allied by blood.' The men sit within &ors eternally smoking ; the women invariably, with hot peat cinders is a 'pan un derneath their petticoats, - sit ' knitting or sewing, which, and playin g a f ew tunes on the piano, form their whole accom plishments. A sentence in the' day is scarcely interchanged between them and their husbands. The • dread of increas ing the population beyond their present numbers and diminishing the wealth, is, it is said, the motive that re. tards marriages in this passion!ess, chaste, and Malthusian village, - 7-7.Z — ' (~ ----- HAY MARKETS.,(4tn , ` Dail of 36 Trusses.) . i.

This event confers the title of Viscount Milton upon Lord Fitz william's second son The following facts respecting the yearly consump tion of food, &c., in the metropolis, cannot fail to be read with interest :—The consumption of animal food is very great ; but to form a proper idea of its extent, the average. weight, as well as the number of the animals, must be ascer tained. About the year 1700 the average weight of the oxen sold in the London market was £3701b.; of calves 501 b. ; of sheep 281 b. ; and of lambs 181 b. ; the present average of weight is, of oxen 8001 b. ; of calves 1401 b. ; • of sheep 801 b. ; and of lambs 501 b. The number of oxen annually consumed in London has been estimated at 110,000, calves 50,000, sheep 770,000, lambs 250,000, hogs and pigs 200,000 ; besides animals of other kinds. Smithfield is the principal market for the above articles ; and the total value of but chers" meat sold there annually is stated at 8,000,0001. The . i .quantity of fish consumed in the metropolis is Comparatively • small, on account of the high price which it generally I)ears ; but this will probably be remedied, though some .kinds of fish at particular seasons are cheap and of good qua lity. There are, on an average, annually brought to Billings gate-market 2,500 cargoes of fish, of 40 tons each, and about 20,000 . t0ns by land - carrie ; in the whole 120,000 tons. The supply of poultry being inadequate to a geneL. ral consumption, and the price consequentlyhigh, that ar ticle is mostly confined to the tables of the wealthy. Va nison is chiefly sold by pastry-cooks at a moderate rate, but tie chief consumption, which •is considerable, is amongst the g entry and proprietors of deer parks. The annual consumption of wheat - in London • may be averaged at 900,000 quarters, cask Containing eight Winchester bushels. silf: porter and ale 2,000,000 barrels, each eon aintug . :3, ; 6 0e gallons,; spiriti and coMpounds, 11,000,000 gal. lons 05,000 pipes ; butter, 21,000,0001b5. - ; and c heese, Osoo,ooolbs. The quantity o f coals consumed is t 26 1 ,' about 1,200,000 chaldrons of :36 bushels, or a ton and half to each chtildron. About 9,600 cows are kept in the vici nity of London, for supplying the inhabitants with milk, l and they are supposed to yield 7,900,000 gallons every year ; even this great quantity, however, is considerably increased by the dealers, who adulterate it by at least one fourth with water before they serve their customers. A most determined and atrocious act of robbery was committed on Monday night in the vault belonging to the family of Lord Maynard, in Little Easton Church. The entrance to the vault is by an iron door situated outside the church, a railing being in front. The door of this railing was first forced open, and the thieves then appear to have attempted to break open the iron door, but, being baffled in this, they partially removed an im mense stone which is placed over it. Still failing in ob taining ingress, they employed themselves in displacing the brick-work, which is 14 or 15 inches thick, from ono side of the door. In this labour considerable time must have been expended, as an opening is made the whole. height of the door, and sufficiently wide to admit a nerson sideways. There were in the vault at the time 13 or 14 coffins, from nine of which the plates have been removed ; several of the coronets and nearly all the hi n ges from the outer coffins have been taken away, which was doubtless effected with little difficulty, min i ; to the decayed state of the wood. There is n o • doubt he thieves supposed the plates and ornaments were of . a costly nature ; the former were of brass only, and the ornaments were of very trifling value. The whole amount of the plunder indeed does not, it is suppose4 ; * exceed I Os.—Chelmsford Chronicler TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS BREEDS. An inquest was held at Birmingham on Tuesday, on the body of a child 16 months old, the daughter of a carpenter, named Maullin, who died from great exhaustion, after having had several of Morrison's pills administered to her by her father. Dr. Bret Davies, and other medical men who examined the body of the child after death, said that the stomach and intestines were ulcerated, which they attributed to the action of drastic purgatives. The Jury returned the following verdict :—" That Mary Hadley Maullin's death was occasioned by Morrison's pills having been improperly administered." COASTWISE SAIUGGLINGe--0 11 Monday last an extraordinary discovery of contraband snuff was made on board the ship Friends, a Dutch trader, Captain Manning, lying at Brewers' Quay, Lower Thames-street. While the cargo was discharging, Mr. James Denton, an active tide surveyor, who has made several important seizures during the last two years, having some suspicions that smuggled goods were concealed in the vessel, commenced an active search, and succeeded in discovering 221 pound packages of foreign snuff, which bad been ingeniously secreted, and sus pended by lanyards between the lining and the timbers of the ship, a great part of which ho had to cut away to get at the snuff. Next day Mr. Denton found nino other packages concealed in other parts 9S tha vessel between the timbers. The captain and mate of the ship have d o . Ilied all knowledie of the transaction, and have Rmaed the crew of being concerned in it, 'LITERATURE.' THE LADY'S KEEPSAKE AND MATERNAL MONITOR • By the Author of " A Mother's. Portrait." London. Edward Lacey . 1836. Our opinion of the good taste,' excellent feeling, sound sense, and pure moral .sentiments of a lady, upon whose work-table we should happen to find this volume, would be as favourable- as if we knew that the whole circle of her acquaintance regarded her as a prodigy of wisdom, and a pattern of perfection: Its object is to serve as a director and a guide to young females, from that age in which they begin to form attachments likely to decide their future prospects in life ; and especially to point out to them the way in which the discharge of their duties as wives, mothers, nurses, guardians of youth, and guides of families, may be rendered most conducive to their own happi ness and the welfare of others Those only who un derstand how difficult it is to treat of questiens so multifarious and so complex with that nice delicacy, without which refined and sensitive minds cannot en , dure even an allusion to them, will be rightly able to appreciate the merits of this work. No enemy hath taken advantage of the drowsiness of the writer to sow tares with the wheat. This volume is embellished with a very hand Some engraving of " The First-born," by Portbury, from a painting by Wood. The subject is a young mother . and a laughing i n f an t rest i ng on h er arm, his little hand locked- in hers. She is looking dreamily into futurity, with that serious expression of countenance which never fails to accompany the first consciousness of maternity. There is,a volume of tenderness and of anxiety in the young mother's look. THE ARBORETUM BRIT.ANNICUM: OR THE HARDY TREES OF BRITAIN. Longman and Co. ; and James Rigdway.
