Advantages of a preventive character may be drawn even from th 3 most disastrous catastrophes. It is fortunate, indeed, that such is the case; otherwise it would be scarcely possible to glance at any single impression of a daily newspaper without experiencing feelings of the most unalloyed sorrow. The truth of this is virtually embalmed in the old saying, " L's an ill wind that blows nobody any good," almost all our practical knowledge being derived in some measure from our bitter experiences. Snae of the most in genious contrivances of our scientific philosophers have in this manner been suggested by the calamities befalling their fellow-creatures. Thus the explosions resulting from the ignition of the foul at mosphere in mines gave Sir Ilusirany • DAVY the notion of enclosing the candles required for the pur poses of illumination by the miners in convict ss ire gauze lanthorns. Scarcely an accident occurs, in short, no matter how common-place and apparently insignificant, but some benefit in the way of warning may be derived front it, if it be only viewed in its full suggestiveness. It is in this manner that we would have every occurrence of a disastrous or destructive nature examined by those who may happen to be similarly situated. By so re garding; the last fire which consumed one of our places of public entertainment, the Olympic Theatre, and the last causeless alarm of fire at the Victoria Theatre, the managers and architects of such establishments were enabled to perceive at length the absolute necessity of what had before then been so repeatedly insisted upon, namely, that of con structing a sufficient number of doorways to admit of the rapid exit of the playgoers NV henever occasion re quired. Among no class of the community, however, should this kind of vigilance be more perpetually prac tised than among the railroad authorities throughout the United Kingdom. Not a casualty on any of the lines of railway should be overlooked, the utmost endeavour being made to profit by the example thereby yielded. By a persistanco in this course such habits of precaution and watchfulness must ultimately result that the recurrence of similar calamities would be gradually rendered all but im possible. From the particulars brought to light by the coroner's inquest on the body of the unfortunate man killed, onWednesday last, by the fall of the shed or roof covering the Bricklayers' Arms Terminus, it was made apparent that the plan upon which those kind of structures are built up is such as to require some radical and immediate modification ; otherwise the misfortune which has now twice happened may be of yet more frequent and more calamitous recurrence. A cursory glance at the facts recorded in reference to this deplorable accident will show that the unex pected snapping of one of the cast-iron columns sup porting the roof of the terminus, caused the whole of that ponderous covering to fall, within the space of little more than a minute. Supposing a train to have been underneath at the time of the catastrophe, it is terrible to reflect upon the destruction of human life that might have been the consequence. Fortunately but few *were within reach at the moment of the casualty, and of those only two or three suffered , t3Jury, and only one was hurried out of existence. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUG UST 21, 1850. I Still, it appears to us , th a t, b y a pro p er arrange ment, even that man's life might have been spared, and a large amount of property saved, at the same time, from confusion. According to the evidence given on the occasion of the inquest by one of the principal witnesses, a railway porter in the employ ment of the South Eastern Company, it appears that the entire occurrence was purely accidental. From the disjointed examination of this and some of the other witnesses a tolerably clear notion of the cir cumstances of the case may be formed. It seems then that these circumstances were as follows :—A power ful engine, driven by a man named STEVENSON, was attached to a train of carriages, the last two of which were unhooked on the turn-table for the purpose of being shifted on to the express line, in compliance with the directions of the head-porter. Only one of these carriages had been removed in the required direction, and the second was only three-quarters turned round on the turn-table, when the engine al ready mentioned unexpectedly backing, the train to which it was attached caused the last carriage con nected with it to strike the carriage on the turn table. Seeing that the latter (the carriage on the turn-table) had at the moment an oblique or diagonal position, extending over the line on which the engine and the other carriages were backing, it may be at once conjectured howthe last- mentioned carriages strik ing the buffer of the one on the turn-table caused it, by its impetus, to dash against the supporting column, and thereby produced the entire catastrophe. Briefly, then, the blame of the accident appears t) be attributable to the circumstance of the engine being backed before the line was entirely cleared by those who were shunting . the car riage. A larger amount of blame, however, is attributable to the mode in which the roof of the terminus had been constructed—the whole shed being d-Tendent upon a single cast iron column, of such comparatively slight proportions, that, according to one of the witnesses, it might have been broken in two by the blow of a sledge-hammer. Before the repeti• tion of such calamities, therefore, can be henceforth avoided, the sheds raised over the termini of our railways must be constructed with a greater view to their stability. This consideration should weigh heavily with the different railway companies through out the United Kingdom. Since we last directed public attention to the Irish . " Land Qaestion " circumstances have invested it with more than ordinary interest, and have forced it on the attention of our contemporaries in both islands. The friends of tenant-right from all parts of Ireland have met in the Irish metropolis to promulgate their notions on this vital subject, and to deliberate on the most effectual means of carrying their of ject into practical operation. This important conference was remarkable for numbers and for talent, but still more remarkable for the cordial unanimity which prevailed throughout the entire proceedings of a great body composed of the most heterogeneous elements. Tae Catholic priest of ' the south, the Presbyterian minister of the north, laid their differences of creed on the altar of their countr2--, and met on common ground in the spirit of a generous cotnpatriotism. These parties have been hitherto kept asunder by the prejudices of religion, and if, in the glow and fervour cf a first meeting, as fellow- Christians and fellow-countrymen, some of the speakers might have outstepped the limits of a calm discretion we cannot help thinking the offence a very venial one, and particularly when we look upon this combination of different castes and creeds as tending to cure that which has been ever locked on as one of the greatest curses of Ireland—disunion. After several days' deliberation, thin great and im portant conference eventuated in the enunciation of their notions of the rights of tenants, and in the formation of an association called the " Irish Tenant League," the " sole objects of which are to protect the tenant, and to procure a good landlord-and-tenant law, by the legal co .operation of persons of all classes and of all opinions," &c. The rules of the Tenant League, and the strictly legal and constitutional manner in which they announce their intention of carrying its objects into effect, appear to us moat unobjectionable. But we confess we are, notwithstanding, somewhat disappointed at the complicated machinery which they propose to introduce for the adjustment of the rights of landlords and tenants. We corfess that we do not think they have taken the most speedy and effectual mode of procuring a satisfactory settlement of this question. We find in the report of the conference the fol lowing as the mode of arrangement proposed between landlords and tenants : " That the valuation shall be ms.de by tribunals which shall unite as fur as possible the advantages of impar tiality between landlord and tenant, cheapness, accessi bility, and nomination by the parties interested. " That these advantages may be secures to a reason able &gree—first by local tribunals, consisting of two valuators, one appointed by the landed proprietors, and the other by the tenant-farmer of the poor-law union ; secondly, by having these valuators bound to value ac cording to instructions embodied in the law; and thirdly, by having attached to each local tribunal a registrar or secretary, whose duty it shall be to register all the pro ceedings of the valuators, and to keep them informed and reminded of the requirements of the instructions under which they act." We certainly expected something better than this complicated puerility from the combined wis dom of the steady northern and the acute southern. Undoubtedly the L?gislature can embody in an Act of Parliament stringent rules and instructions as to valuation ; but we do not think it is within the province or power of Parliament, by any legal,enactment, to bind any two men to an agreement in opinion either on this or any other subject. It is proposed that one of these valuators shall be nominated by the landlord, and the other by the tenant. Is it likely that these nominees of oppo site parties and jarring interests will agree in opinion ? Is it not more in accordance with a know ledge of human nature and the history of arbitra tions that each arbitrator %ill look to the interest of the party by whom be has been appointed ? And in the more than probable event of a disagreement, where is the umpire or tribunal to reconcile their differences, or to bring the points at issue to a satisfactory adjustment? This proposal of but two valuators we cannot look upon otherwise than as a lame and impotent conclusion. It is leaving the matter as it is at present between the owners and occupiers, or, what amounts to the same thing, placing it in the hands of their partisans or nominees. We can anticipate from such a course nothing but interminable disputes and litigation. We cannot say that the attempt made to define what should be deemed rent has been more successful or satisfactory. The introduction of new theoriea is not, in our opinion, calculated to bring the question at issue to a speedy conclusion. To give the arbitra tors the power to supersede every contract between the proprietor of the soil and his tenant would tend to unsettle all the laws and rights of property. And to render nugatory all contracts in reference to land by a complicated attempt to appor tion the net profits through the instrumentality of arbitrators, without regard to, or perhaps in contra vention of, solemn engagements, would, we feel con vinced, but lead to eternal disputes and dissatisfac tion, and prove a disadvantage to the tenant as well as to the landlord. If the Tenant League be not able to frame some more simple and satisfactory grounds for legis lation upon this matter before the next meeting of Parliament, it is to be feared the whole session will pass away in useless and angry discussions about im practicable theories. The great objection to the Bill introduced by Sir W. SO3Ik;EVILLE was its cumbrous and complicated machinery. We have not as y e t been able to discover that the Tenant League have much simplified the subject. 11 tale upon this part (f the subject we cannot avoid expressing our regret at the unwarrantable language used by one of the reverend orators in reference to the Right Honourable Gentleman the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Rude wit is a poor substitute for argument, and vulgar abuse should find no place in tle councils of those who meet for high ind important purposes. There should be some con- ,ideration fur the difficulties of men in cffice, and it should be remembered that the representatives of the tenant interest are not the predominant party in the present House of Commons. Had Sir W. SOMERVILL E merely wished to obtain a little popularity, he might hare introduced some sweeping measure of landlord reform, which would be at once scouted out of the House, while he would have acquired the character of a great reformer and friend of the people. But he has not taken this tours:', and as we believe he means honestly, we are disposed to think hini right in introducing only such a measure of practical utility as will bo likely to receive the sanction of the House of Commons. We think the Tenant League would do much practical good by turning their attention to the custom known and acted on in Ulster as the tenant right. The conditions of the ULSTER PLANTATION would seem to xi+ to form the most equitable basis for legislation upon this subject, and a clear definition of what these conditions were, and what has been the custom observed in reference to them would be of serious advantage to the Legislature in the considera tion and settlement of the question. One of our morning contemporaries appears to be ignorant of the condition of this Ulster Plantation, and seems to be under the impression that there is no tenure of land in Ireland differing from the ordinary tenure in England. We have frequently, through the columns of The Sun, called attention to the terms and conditions under which the confiscated lands of the north were granted to " undertakers," as the present landlords were then termed in the several grants and charters of JAMES I. ; we cited state papers and charters of 1608" and 1613, defining the orders and conditions to be observed by the "under. takers," upon the distribution and plantation of the escheated lands of Ulster. By these conditions the tenants were entitled to a large share of the privileges of the landlords or undertakers. These undertakers were not to hold these lands for their own individual profit or advantage, even on pain of forfeiture. The rights and privileges conferred upon the ' settlers or occupiers was determined and recognised by the Muse of Lords in the year 1846, in the case of the Skinners' Company of London and the Irish Society, in which it was decreed that the Irish Society were merely the public trustees for the "plantation," and not for the benefit of any merely private, though collective, ownerships. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals cf yesterday. It is evidenf, from the general tenour of the telegra phic dispatches detailing the progress of the PRESIDENT, that his reception in the eastern departments has been anything but satisfactory to the Imperialists. The flourishes about enthusiasm, &c., &c., &c., with which we were indulged during the first days of these jour ne)s, have ceased since the detailed accounts of the PRESIDENT'S reception at the various places at which he has sojourned, have been publishz.d in the journals. For the first day or two, while the telegraph had the monopoly of intelligence, these little exaggerations might be indulged in with safety ; but they are now no longer useful; since the scene at the ball at Besan con ; a scene which the journals of the Elyi ee endea vour, after a most absurd fashion, to distort into a deliberate scheme of assassination. Really M. CAR LIER, should hire a fresh set cf litterateurs to invent hi 3 plots of assassination for him, min who have had some practice in the work, and who keep probability in view in their inventions, and it would be well that he should din into their ears the 7720 t of TA LLEYRAND— Surtout point de Zele. His present employes have by their zeal spoiled everything. The jlloniteur du Soir, for instance, in order to account fur th s PRESI DENT'S sorry reception at Strasburg, gets up a cock and a hull story of a conspiracy to assassinate the PRESIDENT of the Republic, the leaders of which came from Nancy to execute the plan. If any such con spiracy exists, the leaders in it are certainly not Re publicans, or, if Republicans, they must be mad, inas much as it is clearly the interest of the Republicans to increase rather than to decrease the number of pre tenders to royalty. To the Republican more espe cially is the life of Lours NAPOLEON of importance, as he is the insuperable obstacle to the restoratiou of the house of BOURBON. The same journal gives the following account of the reception of the PRESI DENT at Beltort " The Prince arrived at Belfort at nine o'clock in the evening. During the whole of his passage from Besan con to that place the rain fell heavily, notwithstanding which a considerable crowd had assembled, who wel comed him with warm acclamations. The President of the Republic was met at Belfort by General Magnan, who commands the division. At the moment of the arrival of the President a number of the Socialists of the place were collected at the entrance of the town, and who, commencing their mauceavres made up for the scantiness of their numbers by the violence of their cries. As they appeared inclined to follow the carriage ~f the President with their vociferations, the troops barred their approach." If their numbers were so scanty what necessity was there for the intervention of the troops to bar their approach ? and bow could the cries of " a score of bandits," for the writer afterwards speaks of them as amounting in number to no more—how could the cries, however violent, of merely "a store of bandits" be even heard amidst " the warm acclamations of a considerable crowd ?" M. CARLIER must provide men who are better up to their business to describe the visit to Cherbourg; a repetition of such glaring in consistencies will ruin all. The Journal des De.iuts, which in the controversy between Louis NAPOLEON and the Legitimatists has maintained a cautious neu trality, thus sums up the results of the Presidential journey : " The reception given to M. Louis Na?oleon in Alsace, as in Franchc-Comte, Burgundy, and the Lyons district, is everywhere very eager, and generally sym pathetic, but nut marked by what is called enthusiasm. After so many revolutions this absence of enthusiasm is not surprising. Who can abandon himself to such a feeling when all is instability, and when the social state itself is likely at any day to be called in question? In like manner, as there has not been unity of thought amongst the different classes of the population, so has there been no unity of manifestation towards the Presi dent. Three distinct shades may be remarked—the reception given by the rural population, the reception given by the towns' people, and that of the bourgeoisie in balls and banquets. The reception of the rural communes is invariably cordial, and that cf the streets merely respectful and reserved, except when organized groups of Socialists have turned a legal cry into one of opposition and hatred. The bourgeoi s ie receives the President with kindly regards, as one who is at the head of the party of order and of social conservation. With respoct to those who put forth acclamations of a totally pe-sonal kind, such as Vire Napoleon!' or Vive t'Empereur!' they are evidently in a minority; and it has been remarked that their ill-timed persistence has very often caused the cry of Vire le Presic.l nt !' to be changed into that of Vive la IlOublique.' Such we take to be, impartially speaking, the true character of the reception given to Louis Napoleon by the three classes we have enumerated." We believe this to be as nearly a just appreciation of the reception of the PRESIDENT as may be. The PRESIDENT of the Republic was everywhere well received, while the supporters of the pretender to an im perial throne were only a miserable and thinly scattered minority. The Government has received the following ac counts of the progress of the President of the Re [ublic by the telegraph : `• STRASBURG, AUGUST 21, FIVE o'cLocrc, P N. . _ "The President having left Besaeg in, at one o'clock Rm., on the 19th, entered Balfort at half-past eight. He alighted at the Hotel de Ville, ald assisted at the ball offered to him by the town. On the 20th, after reviewing the National Guard and troops of the line, the President departed for Mulhouse, where be arrived at two o'clock. A review then took place at the gates of the city, after which the President proceeded to the Hotel of the Industrial Society, where he examined she remarkable productions of that city. At five o'clock he left by the railroad, and reached Colmar at six o'clock. The fatigue of the journey, how ever, prevented him from assisting at the ball offered by the city. " This morning the President reviewed the National Guard and troops of the garrison, and at one o'clock left fur Strasburg, where he arrived at half-past two o'cloAr. During those three days the President experienced Everywhere the same r(c3ption, and was saluted with the same enthusiasm. _ _ " Alsace, as well as Franche Comte, manifested its sympathy for him.

" Prussia accepts the proposition of the Cabinet of Vienna to form a commission composed of plenipoten tiaries t f the different German stater, to administer in common the material affairs of the confederation. The proposition to 'cave the affair of Mayence to arbitration has also been accepted. But Prussia does not submit to the condition exacted by Austria to suspend the sending in of troops until the arbitrators shall be appinted. " We are assured that it has been dlcided in the Coun cil of Ministers, held yesterday, to refuse the invitation of Austria to participate in the reconstruction of the German Diet, and to accept the offer relative to the esta'olishment of a mixed commission, charged with the administration of federal property, and protesting against all consevences contrary to the interests of Germany."

P. will be remembered that in conscquence of the events of May, 1818, the Bishop of LUXEMBURGII was deprived of his diocese by a special decision of the POPE. The partisans of the prelate have made several unsuccessful attempts to obtain a revocation of this measure. A deputation, headed by the Bishop himself, and composed of Mr. ADAMS, the Apostolic Vicar delegate, and several other persons of eminence, have now resolved to wait in person on the POPE.— Journal du Commerce d 'Anvers, Aug. 23. ITALY. - - - The intelligence of the arrest of Archbishop FRAN ZONI caused the greatest excitement at Rome. A Council of Cardinals and Prelates was held, at which it was determined to excommunicate the King of SARDINIA, to absolve his subjects from their oath of allegiance, to lay his kingdom under an interdict, all of which measures would have been perfectly harm less had it not been fir the proposition by which they were followed, which was that Austria should be asked to carry them into effect by force, and to march en army into Piedmont for the purpose of deposing the KING, putting down the Parliament, and esta- Wishing a . sacerdotal despotism. Before, however, these measures were finally, determined on the Car dinals received information that PRANZONI was accused of plotting against the safety of the State, and that papers likely seriously to compromise him had been seized by the Govern ment ; thereupon thcAe Cardinals who have been the most assiduous in concocting the reactionary conspi racy, and who have been holding secret and treason ' able communication with the reactionary conspirators in every country in Europe, became alarmed lest any of their letters s h ou ld hare fallen into the hands of the Piedmontese Government, and determined to abstain from taking any steps until they should have ascer tained how far the Court of Rome may have been compromised by the correspondenc e so seized. THE QUEEN'S RETURN FROM BELGIUM. The royal rquadron, under the command of Lord Adolphus Ftizcfarence, G.C.11., anchored at Dover last evening, at half-past six o'clock, and at 50 minutes past seven weighed, and proceeded to Osborne. All the royal party were well, and most gratified with their visit to Belgium. PORTSMOUTH', SATURDAY MORNING, 10 O'CLOCK. The Royal squadron returned to Portsmouth this morning ; the Victoria and Albert hey., in sight about half-past four o'clock, and passed through Spithead at a few minutes after five, followed by the sa luted by her Majesty's ships Bl en h e i m and T het i s, Vivid, Fairy, and Black Esgle yacht s , an d was yards manned.

THE CONVICT HANNAH CURTIS.—RESPITE. GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY.—Tue exec u ti on of Hannah Curtis, now in Gloucester County Prison under sentence of death for the murder of her:husband, at Frumpton Cotterelleby poison, was fixed for to-morrow, and all the awful preparations had been made. At a late hour l as t night, however, a Queen's messenger arrived post-haste from Scotland, where Sir George Grey is at present sojourning, with a letter contain ing a respite of the execution until her Majesty's pleasure shall be known. The messenger only started from London on Tuesday last, and had travelled night and day in order to arrive in time. A consultation was immediately held be tween the governor of the gaol, Capt. Mason, and the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Herschel], when it was arranged that in conse quence of the lateness of the hour it would not be advisable to disturb the convict, and the announcement of the respite was accordingly made to the prisoner this day by the chap lain, in the presence of the governor. The rev. chaplain in troduced the subject in a few fitting remarks, during which she was greatly agitated, and on the final announcement being made she swooned away in the cell. Her behaviour has been since her condemnation anything but what might be expected from a creature whose hours and minutes were numbered. She declares her innocence, and although she joins in religious devotion with the chaplain, she does net appear fully aware of her awful situation. Her present bus. band, Curtis, has had frequent intercourse with her, and she enters freely into conversation with him, giving instructions as to household matters with the air of a person about to return shortly to her home. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TORRINGTON, NORTH DEvoise—On Tuesday last the handsome little town of Tor rington was in great danger of destruction by fire. During the night a fire broke out on the premises of a Mr. Friend ship, ropemaker, which, being fed by a quantity of pitch, spread rapidly to the adjoining buildings, right and left. Be fore the three fire-engines of the town could be got out three dwelling-houses, a carpenter's workshop, a stable, &c , were in flames. By the greatest individual exertion the fire was prevented from destroying a row of small dwellings, which abutted on one end of the burning mass. These caught fire at least three times; and, had they taken fire, there is no doubt that the whole town must have materially suffered. It was only by cutting a passage through the burning build ings, at a very great risk, that the premises on the right of them were saved. By this very courageous and ready contrivance the engines were brought to play upon the rear of the adjoining premises, which had already ignited on this side. The loss is considerable, and, had it not been that a very large proportion of the inhabitants turned out to render assistance and supply the engines with at least three hogsheads of water per minute from the nei g hbouring pumps alone, the consequence might have been mist serious to the whole town. The three dwelling-houses consumed were the property of Mr. Adams, of Torringto n, and a portion of the remaining properties the Rev. Mr. Welcome's, of Corn wall. We understand that neither the premises nor the stock, &c., were insured. Six children of Mr. Friendship were snatched cut cf their beds while the fire was in their house, and two womsn had to be dragged through the si le windows of the abutting heueer escape by the front doors being impossible.
