FIRE DEPARTMENT: The plaintiff in this case is a carpenter and builder at St. George's-in-the-East; the defendants, Francois and Benoit Tourniare, are equestrian performers, and the action was brought to recover 571.115., being the balance claimed as due for building a temporary circus in the parish of St. George's,in-the-East, for the defendants' performances. Tbe•only question in the case was, whether the contract had been entered into by Francois for himself and brother, or whether Francois acted as agent only for his brother, who was at the time in the country.

This was an action of ejectment to recover pos session of a house in Warren -street, Fitzroy-square, on the ground that a lease made in 1795 for 99 years, at a ground rent of 6/. 65. a year, bad become for feited for breach of covenants contained in it, to keep the house in good repair, and to insure. Several wit nesses for the lessor of plaintiff proved that the house was in a wretched state of, Ailapilation, -each-saying the other haci , not described it so bad as it actually was; and the attorney for the lessor of plaintiff proving that he had inquired at every insurance office in London, and found that the house had not been insured since 1841. For the defence it was submit ted that as the covenant to insure was to insure within three months after the premises then erecting were completed, and also within three months after the completion of any other buildings that might be erected, this was not a continuing covenant to insure. As to the othor covenant a witness was called, who swore that he had recently inspected the premises, and they were in a good and tenantable state of repair. The jury returned a verdict for the lessor of the plaintiff. ..... Agriculturll, Manufacturing, and Mercantile Risks freely Insured. Foreign anti Colonial Insurances eff:ictei.

To Mr. BAGLEY—My brother intrusted it to me until I could obtain a favourable mode of investing it —a safe kind of investment. I hold it as trustee for my brother's wife, and am about to purchase a house with it for 1,0501. Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque took his sealon the bench at a quarter to four o'clock. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN H. DOYLE. Mr. LAIVRANCE opened the proceedings by reading a letter from Messrs. Capes and Stuart, who, it may be recollected, offered 9001. for Doyle's share in the Weekly Chronicle. The name of the bidder was not mentioned on that occasion, but to-day Mr. Lawrance said it vvas Dr. Seymour, who alleged, as a reason for the withdrawal of the offer, that he had received no answer to his letter from Doyle. The Learned Gentleman observed that it was quite impossible Doyle could negotiate, as he was a bankrupt, and therefore could not sell his interest. Mr. LAwitAricE—Have you the money by you ? Witness—l can command it. Mr. LAWRANCE appealed to the Court if Doyle had not told the truth. He could not help stigmatising him as a most improper trustee who would allow a bill of his brother's to be dishonoured, whilst he held the means of meeting it in his hands. The whole affair was now plain to the Court. Doyle refused to join in the dirty work with Robert Russell, or far those by whom Russell had been employed. The real object was to turn Doyle out, so that wealthy and unprin cipled men might convert the journal to their own purposes. The Premiums, nevertheless, are on th, only one-half need be paid for the first urance is for Life. ,e most moderate scale, and t five years when the In- Every information afforded on applicat or, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall. Londoi tion to the Resident Direc m. Mr. BAGLEY would give a brief history of the case before he proceeded to examine the witnesses. Mr. LAWEANCE objected. Mr. Ashurst had pre viously opened the case, and they would not have it opened a second time. II; reply to the COMMISSIONER, E. Russell said, that as a security for the advance of the 1,0001. he gave his brother, R. Russell, a policy of insurance for 2,000/. (produced). COMMISSIONER—Is there any mention made in any deed of the consideration on which the 1,0001. was advanced ?—The question was replied to in the negative. CommtssroNmt—Then how am I to know that this deed has any relation whatever to the marriage set tlement ? Mr. BAGLEY could not think this portion of the discussion at all relevant. Mr. BAGLEY apprehended_ he had a perfect right to do so. The COMMISSIONER decided against Mr. Bagley. The petitioning creditor, Edward Russell, of Daw son-street, Dublin, was then put into the box. He was examined at great length. Many of the facts he deposed to have already appeared in the reports of the various meetings held in this matter. He gave testimony as to the three bills at 6. 12, and 15 months, as part purchase•money of the Weekly Chro nicle. The amounts of the bills were respectively 1 804 801., and 901.; the largest bill bearing the longest date. His brother, R. W. Russell, informed him of his intended purchase of the Weekly Chronicle, which " everybody said might be made a desirable paper. We have been promised the support of men connected with the Government, and of other influ ential persons ; and indeed I have no doubt but we shall do, if we start with spirit." This is an extract from a letter of R. W. Russell to the witness. He went on to state that he accepted the three above mentioned bills at the request of his brother. In July, 1849, R. W. Russell was witness's debtor to the amount of about 601. He did not hear any more of the bills until January last, when Doyle visited him in Dublin. They had no conversation about the pecuniary affairs of himself or his brother—none 1 whatever. The second bill was paid by witness in August last—it fell due in July; that bill was en dorsed by Doyle. Apprised the proprietors of the Weekly Chronicle that he had paid it, and was directed to draw on the Weekly Chronicle at a month's date. Did so. The bill was returned accepted by his brother " for self and partner," and subsequently dishonoured. Wrote again, stating the fact of dis honour, and received a letter from Doyle in his own hand writing, asking for time. Had paid a 1001. bill previously on account of the Weekly Chronicle. His brother wrote to witness for 100/. ; returned an answer, stating that he could not conveniently ad vance the money, but instead accepted a 1001. bill, which witness paid. Had never been paid either the 801. or the 1001. bill, and was now a creditor for both. The Commissiorma, thought otherwise. Mr. BAGLEY proceeded to address the Court in support of the petition. He would avoid the use of all harsh and unbecoming language, and all extra neous topics, the introduction of which answered no good purpose. Ile would confine himself strictly to the question, ay or no—was not the petitioning creditor's debt a good and sufficient one, and ought not the petition to be proceeded with ? The Learned Counsel then narrated all the facts, and observed that there could not be the slightest doubt as to the justice and strictly legal nature of the claim. Lord Campbell and a jury would not be ten minutes in finding a verdict for his client. He relied upon Doyle's letter as conclusive proof of his liability to pay the 801. bill, from his own acknowledgment. Some discussion then ensued about a document, of which Doyle read a copy at a former meeting. He was then unable to find the original, which is in the handwriting of Robert Russell, and now produced it. The Commisszoreza thought it material, and that it went to substantiate Doyle's statement as well as Dillon's. Mr. BAGLEY wished to call Robert Russell to ex p;ain it. _ Mr. LAWRANCE objected. The COMMISSIONER said it was now too late to call him. Mr. R. Russell upon two or three occasions rose and said he wished to be examined, both with refer ence to this document and to the marriage settlement. The COMMISSIONER said, be had cautioned him be fore, and if he coatinued the interruptions he must be excluded from the court. Witness, in the course of his examination, had been asked to produce letters from his brotber to him, but only did so in a few cases. Cross-examined by Mr. L AIVRANCE—Spoke of his accounts with his brother from documents partly fur nished to witness by his clerk, before he left Dublin, and partly by his brother, since his arrival here. Ge nerally destroyed the letters he obtained from his brother. Kept a letter. book. The marriage settlement was again referred to. CommasioNEß—Have you the deed ? Mr. BAGLEY.—I have not. I did not hear a word about it until it was mentioned during the present meeting. COMMISSIONER,--Is there any marriage settlement reduced to writing ? Mr. BAGLEY—There is, I understand, a gentleman in court who will give evidence of it, but I under tand it has not been reduced to writing. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling upon the Com missioner to sustotin the petition ; a clearer petitioning creditor's debt he had never seen. Mr. LAWRANCE — Where are your books ? Wit ness—They are at home. Mr. LAwRANCE — Why did you not bring them with you ? Witness—l did not think it was ne cessary. COMMISSIONER—Do your books contain entries of these transactions ? Witness —They do. COMMISSIONER — Then, why did you not bring them ? Witness—l did not think it was essential. Mr. LAWRANCE — Were you not served with notice to bring them ? Witness—No. Mr. BAGLEY—Has the other side required him to produce them? Mr. LAWEANCE—Yes. The CuMMISSIONER thought it was anything but clear. It was a most complicated case. His Honour then reviewed the evidence, and remarked that, no deed having been executed, he was bound to consider that Edward Russell, the petitioning creditor, owed Robert Russell 1,0001., and therefore a bill drawn upon one in Edward Russell's position became a bill for consideration, viz., for money of Robert in the hands of Edward. He believed that, as regarded the marriage settlement spoken of, there was no trust whatever. The admissio❑ of Edward Russell respect ing the 1,000 l confirmed the statements of Dillon and Doyle. Many letters were missing, and that one the most material of all to which allusion had been made. He believed the truth to be that Edward was a debtor to Robert Russell. His Honour finally observed that he should not consider Edward Russell was in a good position to establish a petitioning creditor's debt, and must therefore annul the adjudication. Mr. BAGLEY now proposed to substitute another debt. The files of the court were then referred to, and it was found that the usual notice to produce " books, papers, &c.," tending to establish the debt of the peti tioning creditor, had been served upon Mr. Ashurst. COMMISSIONER—Without any notice the petitioning creditor is bound to produce all books, vouchers, &c., relating to the debt. Mr. LAWRANCE—At whose instance did you in you s wear th a t ? 1 m Witness— stimtutre. L th A e w p ß r A oc x e c e E d —Do Witness—At my 0 I do; but it is necessary f or me to expla i n . I was in London about three mo n th s ago, and my brother in formed me that he w as very unpleasant l y s itu a t e d. He said he did not k now w h at to do ; that hi s partn er bad promised adva nces o f money, but faile d i n m aki ng them. We spoke o f th e bi lls which were b e comi ng due. He said, "I do not see anything for it but your making me a bankrupt." I said it would be a great disgrace. _ _ _ Further proceedings were, by consent, adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The case did not terminate until a quarter past seven o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. LAWRANCE—He said nothing then of making Doyle a bankrupt P Witness—No; be only spoke of himself. He said it would save him from rum, and myself from being perhaps a very great sufferer. When the bills were dishonoured I wrote to my bro ther to know if he could recommend to me a London solicitor, and he recommended to me Mr. Ashurst, who advised the present course. Mr. LAWRANCE—Did you make your brother a bankrupt ? Witness—No, I did not ; he gave security. Mr. LA.WRANcE—Have you taken any proceedings against him since ? Witness —I have not. The witness was then interrogated respecting th e securities for th e pe titi on ing creditor's debt, but no thing material was e li c ited. Mr. LAWRAN CE —Acting so disinterestedly, doe s it not seem strange th a t proceedings should be o n ly taken ag a i ns t D oy l e ? Witness—When I gav e in structions I th oug ht b o th were to become bankrupt s . COMMISSION ER —Did you ever state to Doyle that you had mo ney of your brother's in your hands to meet those bills ? Witness--I had but one conversa tion with him. CoMmissloNEß—That is no answer. I ask you again did you state to Doyle that you had money of your brother's in your hands ? Witness—Never. COMMISSIONER— If Doyle swore that you told him so would that statement be true or false? Witness-- False. William Poulton, a person of respectable appear ance, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following remarkable circumstances : Mr. H. F. Wood attended for the prisoner. Mr. Joseph Archer, solicitor, of No. 11, Token house-yard, said—On the 19th instant I received a message from Mr. Field, of Coleman-street, in con sequence of which I went to him. I saw there the prisoner, who stated to me that he was entitled to considerable property under the wills of his father, William Poulton; his grandfather, James Payne; and his uncle, John Payne. He mentioned the amount, and stated that his mother, Mrs. Catherine Sill, died on the 17th instant, aged 88 years, and that, in consequence of ber death, the sum of 5,0001. insured on her life in the Albion Life Insurance office became payable ; that various sums of money arising from her own savings were also due; that she had also been possessed of about 2,000/. in the St. Albans Bank, besides furniture and other real and personal effects. The prisoner also stated that his mother's husband, Mr. Sill, hod died intestate, and that he was himself the only sur viving child of William Poulton by Mrs. Sill • that within these few weeks he had become entitled to most of the property by the death of his mother, and that he wished myself and Mr. Field to manage the duties which had devolved upon him, and to inspect the wills at Doctors'-commons. We accordingly did so. I found that the property to which he said he would be entitled at the death of his mother, under these wills, was correctly represented, and on my return to Coleman-street, where I saw the prisoner and Mr. Field, after talking about the management of the property, it was ultimately settled that we should lend him a sum of money. After some oppo sition upon my part we let him have upon his repre sentation at the time 101., for which he gave us his I 0 U in our joint names. He then instructed me to prepare a power of attorney authorizing myself and mid Mr. Field to act in all his afrdirs, and appointed the next day, at three o'clock, fur the execution of the deed. He kept his appointment, and the power of attorney was read over to him, He, however re- Mr. A. Winter was then examined.—l am the person with whom the contract was made for the sale of the newspaper. The first bill was due in January, 1850. The first bill, 801.. was paid in London ; the second, BAI., in Dublin; the third, 901. was dis honoured. Mr. LAWRANCE—You acted as agent to Sir IL misundersto o d. Th e ' I did not ; that ha s b een Weekly Ward ? Witness—No Chronicle wa s my paper. 1 did not act us an agent. I purchased the paper from Sir 11. Ward.

LONDON, FRIDAY 4-7 , ING S N NOVEMBER, 29, 1850. 9 with reference to the purchase of the Weekly Chronicle.; He could not charge his memory that Robert W. Russell had said he would make advances for carrying on the paper at the rate of 501. a month. He had been told the paper was, when purchased, paying at the rate of 91. a week. Understood Robert W. Russell could have done so, and had an impressibn that he would assist the firm in making advances. Mr. LAWRANCE then addressed the Commissioner, and called upon him to annul the petition. He in sisted on the production of the books of E. Russell. It seemed most extraordinary that the petitioning cre ditor, a tradesman in business, should have destroyed letters referring to business transactions between himself and his brother. The first letter on the sub ject of the loan he declared he could not find. In shcrt, not a single letter or copy of a letter was forth coming which was material to his client's interest, whilst he seemed to have preserved with great care those which concerned his own. The petition was the result of a foul conspiracy against Doyle in order to dissolve the partnership. The COMMISSIONER asked to see the account be tween the petitioning creditor and R. W. Russell ; that one which he had brought with him from Dublin. It was handed up. The COMMISSIONER—What is the meaning of this item, " interest upon 1,000/. ?" What 1,0001. is this ? Mr. BAOLET.—I have not seen the document. The COMMISSIONER called up Edward Russell— What is the meaning of this entry " interest upon 1,000/. ?" Witness—The meaning of it is, that when my brother was married he wished to make a settle ment on his wife, and I took the 1,0001. from him to pay interest at 6 per cent. Since then I have paid him 60/. a year on the 1,000/. Cummusdosam—Does that refer to what has been said about money being in your hands ? Witness— I think it does. [PRICE SD. fused to sign the power of attorney without getting 51. more, and that we would not consent to give. We afterwards ascertained that his mother was not dead, and we caused him to he taken into custody. Mr. James Payne Sill, of No. 10, St. George's road, New Kent-road, said--I know the prisoner. He is my half-brother by the same mother. She is now alive and living with me. Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—My mother and the prisoner are not upon terms. The prisoner has not been at the house lately. My mother is 65 years old, and has not been ill for a long time. The LORD MAYOR—WiII the prisoner be entitled to any property at his mother's death ? Witness — Yes, but he cannot anticipate any portion of it. Mr. G. L. Ford, of Stafford-street, Pimlico, said— The prisoner has also taken me in. Prior to the 23d of September I went to the country, and on my return I found a letter from the prisoner, dated from 115, Long-acre, on the subject of a lean of money, and I subsequently saw him upon the subject, and took down from him the following instruc tions :--That he was entitled, under the will of Wil liam Poulton, deceased, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, who died in the year 1810, to the following sums :- 2,5911. 13s. 4d., 9,6731. 12s. ld., and 3,851/., on the death of his mother ; that he was also entitled, under the will of his grandfather, James Payne, who died on the 14th of February, 1822, to the following sums :-27,6661. 13s. 41 Three per Cents. ; 3,0001. on mortgage; 9,7841. Four per Cents. ; an d t wo f arms and other real estates. He stated that he should come in for all upon the death of his mother, whose age was eighty-seven years, who was very ill, and who could not live long. He applied to me for a loan on that reversionary property, and I asked him for secu rity, and undertook to procure him a loan. He gave me the names of various trustees and others connected with these affairs, and of the solicitor employed, and he applied to me for a small pecuniary loan. I was struck with the small size of the loan, which was no more than 51., but I lent it to him.— (A. laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—I suppose you made inquiries ? Mr. Ford—l took the necessary steps to investigate the wills, and I made the usual inquiries; and, to enable me to do so with dispatch and efficacy, he kept calling at the office frequently. Between the 25th of September and the 2d of October he called, and ap peared much agitated and distressed • and, when I asked him what was the matter, he said that his mother was dead. He seemed to be very anxious to go and see his mother, and he borrowed of me the sum of 151. for that purpose. I gave him a cheque upon Cocks and Biddulph for that sum; but I have since learned that his mother is not dead. The LORD MAron—Dii you lend the money un der the impression that his mother was dead ? Mr. Ford—Certainly, I did. When he returned, after I had given him the 151., he told me he had seen his mother in her coffin.—(Laughter.) Mr. Wood—Did you not find that his statements as to the property willed to him were correct? Mr. Ford—No ; I found that they were false. My clerk searched Doctors'-commons and ascertained that he is not entitled to the property at all. He told me that he was the only child, and that he was to have the whole of the money. The LORD MAYOR—It was very extraordinary that you, Mr. Ford, who are a man (.1 . experience and knowledge of life, should be gulled in such a way. Mr. Ford—Why really his statements looked so like those pf a man of business, that I was led to think they were all correct. He told me that he was an officer in the army; and, upon my word, I felt for him.—(Laughter.) Upon the application of Mr. Wood, who said that he could produce witnesses who would alter the corn. plexion of the case very materially, the prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ _ _ Mr. Bingham, before giving his judgment in the case of William St. Clair, charged with sending a threatening letter and using menacing words to Mr. Fox, the contractor for the works at the Great Exhi bition, inquired of Mr. Rippon, the defendant's soli citor, if he had any observations to make, as he had just been informed an objection was to be raised on some point. Mr. Rippon said, his objection was to the effect that the magistrate had no jurisdiction over the case in its present form. The Act of Parliament in ques tion required that proceedings under it should be taken only by summons or warrant on oath. Now, in the present case, neither summons nor warrant bad been issued ; therefore, the whole proceedings being irregular, the magistrate could not adjudicate upon them. Mr. BncunAm cited a case decided by Lord Ken yon, which, he conceived, got rid of the objection. As, however, the case itself was one of very great importance, and as it was very advisable that it should be decided on its merits alone, he would take further time to consider the point that bad just been raised, and would postpone his judgment until next Monday, enlarging the defendant's bail for that purpose. , ' - - -- - -;- '- ' : PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION (Enrolled under the Friendly Societies' Acts) and BENEVOLENT FUND, 42, Moorgate•street London. _ .

Thomas Ready, described as a member of the swell mob, was placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with being concerned with three other men, since transported, in breaking into the premises of Mr. Thomas Weir, woollen draper, in the London-road, and stealing nearly 2001. worth of cloth, his property. The circumstances attending the case were briefly as follows, the evidence being too lengthy to enter into all the particulars minutely :—lt appeared that at an early hour on the morning of the sth of June, 1849, a man named Fox, a painter, on proceeding across West-square to his work, observed four men dragging a cab, which had no horse attached, in the direction of West-street. Suspecting the men to be bad charac ters, one of them (the prisoner) having been pointed out to him as a member of the swell mob pre viously, he immediately communicated his sus picions to a police:nen in the London-road, and they both returned in the direction where the vehicle was last seen, but upon their arriving at the spot the four men had decamped, two of them having run down Walnuttree-walk, leaving the cab, which, on being opened, was found to be filled with cloth, tweeds, and other articles of woollendrapery. Two of the men were pursued and taken into cus tody, but the prisoner and another associate escaped, and in the course of the same morning it was ascer tained that the premises of the complainant in the London-road had been broken into, the thieves having effected an entrance at the rear in Mansfield-street, and plundered them of the property above enume rated. With a view to prevent detection, the burglars procured an empty cab from an adjoining stableyard, and, having drawn it up close to the house which they had broken into, they deposited the plunder therein, and were in the act of dragging it in the direction of the abode of one of them when they were discovered as already described. Sergeant Barry stated that two of the men engaged in the offence were tried, convicted, and sentenced to transportation at the Central Criminal Court Ses sions. The sergeant then related the circumstances attending the prisoner's apprehension after such a lapse of time, by stating that a few days ago he (the sergeant) had occasion to be at Manchester on other business, and accidentally went into a tavern at which a concert was being held, and at the bar he saw the Prisoner and at once knew him, and took him into custody, informing him at the same time of the offence with which he stood charged. The prisoner expressed his willingness to accompany him, but said nothing in reference to the charge, and he accordingly brought him to London. A solicitor attended on behalf of the prisoner, and cross-examined the different witnesses with a view to show that they might have been mistaken as to his being one of the four men who were seen dragging the cab along laden with the plunder. The witnesses, however, all spoke with confidence as to the prisoner's identity, he having been observed near the com plainant's house in the company of the men since transported previously to its having been broken into, es well as having been seen afterwards helping to drag the cab with its load of plunder from the premises. The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was committed. WORKING OF METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.— Those among our readers who remember the remarks we have made, from time to time, on the antagonistic p osition of the Referees and the Registrar, at the Office of Metro politan Buildings, the constantly-occurring appeals for deci sion of their differences to the Office of Works, the con sequent delay, and contradictory awards, will not be sur prised to learn that an inquiry has been instituted by Lord Seymour, as Chief Commissioner of Works , to discover, if possible, where the fault lies. Two gentlemen (whether the right men or not we will not now inquire) have been ap pointed to hear and examine the statements of the parties concerned, and to decide, if possible, whether the evil is to be attributed to provisions in the Act, or to the officers per sonally. If the former, an endeavour will be made, in the new Bill, to produce a different result; if the latter, there will probably be changes in the office. The inquiry has been conducted in secresy, and we shall not r en d er th a t abortive by communicating any of the facts that have trans pired, or speculate on the probable issue. Suffice it, that we s t at rest by this statement some unfounded rumours, in connexion with the of that have been forwarded to us. The Art-Union of Glasgow have awarded the sum of 50/. to Mr. E. M. Ward; A.R.A., for his picture of James the Second receiving intelligence f the landing of Orange, which was ex hibi te d l ast year a t the Roya l Academy.

BRADFORD, Nuv. 27.—There has been a dreadful *oiler explosion here this afternoon, at the mill of Mr. Christopher Waud in Manchester-road. Two persons have been killed, and three seriously injured. LATEST PARTICULARS. From inquiries made upon _the spot we glean the following :—The works of Messrs. Vaud are y extensive, cover i ng an area of four acres and High mills and warehouses occupy the western tion of the ground, and the combing and spinning sheds cover the eastern side. Adjoining these sheds, at the western corner, were two 80-horse engines and five boilers. About a quarter-past four o'clock the southernmost boiler blew up with terrific noise; the air was literally darkened for the moment by the iron, stones, and bricks, which flew up and radiated thence in every direction. The destruction of property was immense, though as yet it cannot be estimated. The heavy boiler was rent almost to shreds, and one por tion of it, some tons in weight, was tossed far into the adjoining yard ; another portion, nearly as heavy, was cast into the adjoining shed, used for combing; whilst a third portion, weighing five or six tons, was carried in the air to a distance of fifty or sixty yards, and driven through the roof of an adjacent preparing shed. It is unnecessary to say that these heavy masses scattered destruction around. Beams and rafters were driven in bodily, and the whole roof, the greater part of which is covered with glass, was riddled by the tremendous shower of iron, stones, and bricks. it is little less than a miracle that there was not a greater sacrifice of life than has taken place. No less than 400 persons (men, women, and children) were work. ing in the sheds at the time of the explosion, who as soon as the , report was heard cowered beneath the machinery to escape the fearful storm of iron and bricks. Scarcely bad the noise ceased when it was discovered that the mass of fire cast forth by the explosion had ignited the sheds, and it was with much difficulty that the flames were subdued. The engine tender, a young man named John Hall, was found dead beneath the ruins in the neighbourhood of the engine -house. Mary Nevin, a newly-married and young woman, was also found lifeless in the combing shed. She, it is pretty clear, was crushed to death by a heavy piece of iron or stone falling upon her. Bridget Gauty, aged 18 ; Winifred Brener), 21 ; Thomas Varley, 19 ; Margaret O'Donnell, 16 ; and Michael M'Namara, 17, were dreadfully bruised, burnt, and scalded ; and it <is very doubtful whether they can survive —indeed, the death of the last two are hourly expected. They are all lying in the In firmary. Five other persons were also injured, but not so dangerously, though still seriously. Nothing is known of the cause of the accident, and it is right to say that the boiler which exploded was not more than twelve months old. A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday, and was sitting when our report left. • BROOKES'S GENERAL GAZETTEER. By A. G. FINDLAY, F.R.G.S.

MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S COUNTY.—On Monday night last a most atrocious murder was committed at Coolagb, in the Queen's County. The unfortunate victim was named John Hogan, and was land bailiff of Mr. Leyne. The poor man presented an awful spectacle, his head having been severed from his body with a reaping-hook. An inquest was held on Tues day, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned against persons unknown. A number of persons have been apprehended, and but little doubt exists that the perpetrators will be made amenable. THE TUSCAN MINISTER. —His Excellency the Right Hon. R.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The fourth of the Collins's line of American mail steamers, the Baltic, entered the Mersey this forenoon, with 54 passengers, and specie on freight to the amount of 100,0001. sterling. The Baltic sailed from New York on the 16th, and reports the arrival of the American steamer Franklin at that city on the morning of the same day, at five o'clock, from Havre and Southampton. - Captain Comstock, of the Baltic, reports that he would have made the passage in a much shorter time had he not been detained thirty hours by an , dental derangement of the machinery. - In the advioes now to hand there is very little general news of interest. A Washington letter of the 14th says, assurances had been received from good sources, north and south, that after all there was to be quiet, harmony, uniqn. It was reported that in the course of next session bf Congress the postage reform, and the incoming of the next apportionment, would be of salutary effect. Mr. George Thompson, M.P., met not a very gra tifying reception in Fanuiel Hall, Boston. Several ladies were present in the galleries. W. Lloyd Gar rison opened the proceedings by reading the addrest of reception, containing a history of Mr. Thompson's movements in the anti-slaverylcause of this country, and concluded by observing, that just fifteen years ago , he was obliged to fly clandestinely from the United States. When Mr. Thompson attempted to speak he was groaned at and hissed, and could not make himself heard, the meeting being deafened with cheers for 'Webster and the Union, intermingled with groans, catcalls, and hisses. Groans were given for John Bull; a ring was formed on the floor, and one or two commenced dancing. The same violent and unbecoming conduct was continued throughout, and Mr. Thompson completely prevented from addressing the assembly. His intended speech will, it is said, be published in the Boston and New York papers. The Nashville Convention continued its sittin, and it was said that important results would 'ait ui therefrom. A St. Louis paper of the 14th announces the arrest of three fugitive slaves in the country back of Quiney, Illinois, and, at the time of their capture, were making tracks to Canada. On this subject we may observe. ;hat the Washington Union takes the ground, that there had been no failure to enforce the fugitive slave law, that Craft's caFes were bunglingly and unskil fully managed by the claimants, as well as by the Marshal of Massachusetts. There is later intelligence from Ilavannab, but it was unimportant. Jenny Lind was to sing there ten nights. An awful murder for money had been committed at New York on the 16th, whereby a German, who kept. a beer-house, was killed instantly, and his two sons stabbed, it is feared mortally. With respect to the fire at Frederickton, N. 8., little additional intelligence is known. The loss has been severe, and will fall heavily on the insurance companies. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW 'roux, Nov. 16.—Foreign exchanges have been dull, and the rates demanded here had a declining ten dency. The stock-market was weak, and the Bears in the ascendancy. Exchange on London ruled at 1091 to 110 i, Paris at 5•9 - to 5•16 i, Amsterdam, 41 to 411, and Bremen 80 to 80*. Freights remained rather quiet, but prices much the same as quoted in the Canadian advices. Holders of the better kinds of Western Canal flour were firm, whilst the medium and higher grades were dull of sale. Wheat met a quick and ready market. The re. ceipts of Indian corn were light, but the demand good. Beef was steady at former rates; new was coming in and selling at 8 dolls. 50c. to 9 dolls, for mess, and 5 dolls. 50c. to 6 dolls, for prime. The price of old is quite unset tled, and prices I doll, per barrel below new. Pork was firm, and prices fully sustained. Butter and cheese steady at the rates reported by the Canada. In other articles no change reported. THE JONESES AND SMITHS.-The labours of the Register-office afford some highly curious facts as to the re lative number of persons of different names living in England and Wales. From time immemorial it has been thought that Smith was the commonest of names. The Smiths are soldiers, and sailors, and parsons, and tailors, and bakers, and authors, and, indeed. everything. But the exact figures of the registrar upset the long-cherished fallacy that they form the most numerous of our class. The Joneses out-number them, and stand at the head of the list, Smith coming second. This question of the frequency of particular names must interest so many persons that we give the following list of the fifty most common appellations, in the order in which they are found to rank in the books of the registrar, together with the number of each name, who were born, married, or died, in the year June 30th, 1837, to July the Ist, 183 S.
