Before the firemen of the metropolitan brigade had left the great fire in Clerkenwell they were called to attend another in King-street, Covent garden. Upon their arrival they found the lofty range of premises belonging to Mr. 11. Bocking, a basket-maker, in flames. Mahoney, one of the firemen who had charge of the escape, hearing that some one was in the burning building, ascended his escape, and tried to push his way into the premises, but the fire rolled out of the window so furiously as to terribly burn the intrepid man, and he was unable to render further assistance, but on the contrary w as obliged to be removed to the hospital. The band, manual, and steam engines of the Metropolitan Brigade quickly arrived, and, baying a good supply of water, went to work in an admirable manner, but they were unable to get the flames extinguish e d until the building, which was three stories high, w as burnt out. The firemen, as soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled, entered, and fo und tha t a lady, named Loofort, aged 67 years, had been burnt to death. The body was placed in a shell and re moved to the dead-house to await the coroner's in quest. MARKETS—(phis Day.) COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

DOW-STREET-THIS DAY. William and Timothy Desmond, Nicholas Eng- lish, James O'Neill, John O'Keefe, Nichael.Bar rett, and Anno Justice, were again placed at the bar, before Sir Thos. Henry, on a charge of wilful murder. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Poland appeared for he prosecution. Sir T. Henry—You have closed your case for the prosecution, Mr. Gifford ? Mr. Giffard—Yes, sir. Mr. Lewis said that on behalf of the prisoners O'Keefe, Barrett, and Justice be should not make any observations at present, preferring to reserve their defence. But to his mind the case of O'Neill seemed somewhat different. On the last occasion the learned chief magistrate was kind enough, with the consent of the learned counsel for the Crown, to postpone the committal, in order to give him an opportunity of calling witnesses for O'Neill. Ile was ❑ot, however, about to call those witness.s:s, for the simple reason that the poverty of O'Neill pre vented Mai from bringing them up from Glas gow, where they all resided. But the case against O'Neill was so slight that he felt that he should not be doing his duty if he did not remark upon it. O'Neill was charged with wilful murder—not with treason felony ; but even if it had been the latter offence, he should have been prepared to contend that the evidence negatived it. Massey, Corydon, and all the approvers, had been evidence, and not one question bad been put to either of them about O'Neill. Ho surely had a right to assume this if they had known him. The ques tion would have been put to them, awl as it had not been put, it could only be because he was not known to them. However, he had not to deal with that question. Now, even if O'Neill was a Fenian. What he had to consider was, what was the evidence against him on the charge of mur der? The only evidence against him was that of the witness Young, who first identified Wm. Des mond as the man who fired the barrel, and when afterwards O'Neill was brought to this court he suddenly turned round and said that was the man. But very much stronger, in his opinion, was the negative evidence, and on this point he could not do better than quote the observation of Mr. Giffard at the last examination, when speaking with refer ence to the prisoner Allen, that the fact of his being unknown to Mullauy rendered it difficult to believe that he bad been concerned in the plot. That was a conclusion in which many agree, but it derived additional weight when coming from the learned counsel for the Crown. Now, with regard to O'Neill, it was not merely that Mullany did not say he knew him, but on being asked the question by him (Mr. Lewis) he distinctly said that he did not know O'Neill, and that he had never seen or heard of him before. This went to show that the case against O'Neill was one of mistaken identity. He considered, indeed, that when the prisoner was taken in Glasgow it was the duty of the police to have made inquiries at once on the spot, when they would have found what he was doing and where he was employed the day before and for several days after the date of the explosion, which would have been conclusive evidence to them that he could not have been concerned in that outrage. Sir Thomas Henry said it was irregular for Mr. Lewis to state what he alleged that he could prove, if he was not about to call witnesses to prove it. Mr. Lewis thought it was fair matter of com ment. _ Sir Thomas Henry—l think not. Mr. Lewis said, at all events, he was entitled to urge the force of the negative evidence, and to com plain that he had been subjected to the suffering he must have undergone, knowing himself to be inno cent, and being dragged a w a y from his family and friends and remanded to pr i son from week to week. Mr. Harper, who appeared for the D esmon d s an d English, said they would reserve thtir defence. Sir T. Henry—The case against the prisoners must be submitted to a jury. Mr. Lewis applied for the admission of O'Neil to bail. Sir T. Henry refused. The several witnesses were called, and bound over to appear at the sessions for prosecution in the sum of £lOO. The prisoners were all committed for trial. hand, she was prevented from carry in her threat to execution. The husband of the prisoner to-day attended, and promised to take care of her, and of ter receir ing some good advice from the magistrat e she was discharged. In the next case John Hayes, a young man, through some words with his father, attempted to take his life by tying a pocket handkerchief so tightly round his throat that it was obliged to be taken off piecemeal. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he hoped the young man by that time, after being spoken to by title chalalain of the House of Detention, was fully aware that ho had been guilty of a great offence. The defend nit, having expressed his contrition, was handed over to his father. TilA NI ES. DARING HIGHWAYROBBERY. —William Seymour, a rough-looking youth, about 17 years of age, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a watch and chain, valued at £2O, from Dr. John Budgett, a physician and surgeon, of the Commer cial-road, and Backehureh-lane, Whiteche pel. Last night, at ha:f-past 8 o'clock, Dr. Budgett was passing along the Commercial-road, on the south sidA, when the prisoner dashed upon him, made a snatch at his watch and chain, aad fled down a Sark and narrow passage, called London-terrace. Dr. Budgett followed him, and missed him all at once. Dr. Budgett scraped his feet along the ground, and at last came in contact with the pri soner, who was on the ground, and dragged hitt, out of the court. The thieves and such characters dwel ling in London-terrace, the most disreputable hole in the parish of St. George-in-the-East, where he attacked the doctor, hustled him, and made an at tempt to rescue th.:3 prisoner. Dr. Bridgett, who displayed great courage, retained his hold of the prisoner against overwhelming odds, until a police constable named John Nightingale arrived, who succeeded in apprehending the prisoner, and lodged him in the station house. Nightingale said he was not on duty last night. Ile was passing along the Cannon-street-road in plain clothes with his wife, when he heard the cry of police and murder, and repaired to the spot at once. The doctor and the prisoner were surrounded by a lot of roughs, black guards, loose women, and thieves, who made a des perate effort to rescue the prisoner. Mr. Benson said he had heard of the bad charac ter of London-terrace before. The prisoner said he did not commit the robbery, and that a woman came to the station-house and said he did not do it. Nightingale said that a woman did come to the station-house and say the prisoner was not the man who committed the robbery. Mr. Benson said as the name and address of the woman was known she must be summoned to at tend and gire evidence, and for that purpose he would adjourn the case until to-morrow. lie was very sorry that a daring outrage and robbery should have been perpetrated in a public road. lie re manded the prisoner until to-morrow. IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN I lIOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. Tho LORD CIiANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at live o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ Isle of Wight and Cowes and Newport Railway, Leeds New Gas, Lewes Water, London and North Werteru and Kennington Extension Railway Bills were read a scoond ;irn . CRIMINAL COUR, P.—This Day. NEW C 0 U RT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) John Houghton, 19, was indicted for a highway robbery, with others, on Francis Lavett, and steal ing a watch and chain. The prosecutor was a veterinary surgeon, in the Minories, and on the evening of the 29th January, about eight o'clock, he was in Finsbury-square, when four men came out of an archway and two of them held him by the arms, while the others took his watch and chain from him. An alarm was given, but all four men escaped. A few days after Houghton was taken for another robbery, and the prosecutor on seeing him at once identified him as the man who had robbed him. The jury returneda verdict of guilty. The Common Sergeant told the prisoner he had been guilty of au offence which of late had become very prevalent, and which it was determined to put down by the strong arm of. the law. Had any further violence been used other than holding his arms he would have sentenced him to a much heavier punishment than he was about to inflict. Under all the circumstances he should sentence the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Susan Dulay was indicted with feloniously mar ryirg with James Peck, ly..tr former husband being still alive. The parties were originally married at a very early age, and iu about two two years after frequent quarrels occurred, and the result was that during one of these blows were struck on each side, and a separation took place. The second marriage took place some time ago, and the peculiarity of the case was that the first husband had been known to visit the prisoner after it. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was ordered to be kept in prison for one month. POLICE INTELLIGENCL—This Day. WESTMINSTER. placed at th e b ar c h arge d w i t h AK EXPERT PRACTITIONER.—MichaeI Narry, a Y Of late complaints of robberies of carriages of every description have been ro o b u b n i g n gmaanc, was an. very frequent, and although detection and conviclons have overtaken many of the offenders expert thieves are still con stantly upon the look out, who even contrive to carry on their depredations while carriages are being wa tched. On y es t er d ay a f ternoon in broad daylight, Jo hn Fitts, a cabman, set down It o fare a at the Pavilion, in the Vauxhall-bridge and went into the house, but before even a glass of stout cou ld be dr awn for him he was in formed that be bad been robbed of - a waterproof cape which be ha d left on the driving box of his Vauxhall-bridge road, d, cab. Mr. Arnold —Did you leave your cab unat tended ? Cabman—No, your worship. I left it in charge of a man who is now here, but he did not see the prisoner take it. A tradesman, living next door to the Pavilion, said that directly the driver had left the cab, and while the man i n c harge of it was at the horse's head, prisoner adroitly took the ca pe and made off. Witness gave au n Ile was remanded. alarm, and pursued prison e r, who was MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Two charges of attempted suicide were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on remand. In the first case a woman named Hannah Griffin went into a public-house and said that she intended to commit suicide, and took from her pocket a bottle containing laudanum. She drank some of it, but a perm fortwaately knocking the bottle out of her LAND TENURE IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE, in moving this bill said, that it appeared that a recommenda tion had been made that a new committee on this question should be appointed, but ho thought that any amendment as to the land tenure in Ireland should be carried out at once, and there could not be a more favourable momeat than the present. No landlord had a greater State obligation than now. Wanton, useless, and absurd afflictions now prevail over the whole agricultural districts in Ireland. He could state that one landlord in Ireland had spent on his estate more than £140,000 out of his own private purse without going to any land society for assistance. With regard to tenant right he wished to call attention to the pre sent position they were in. Ho would show in larger countiel of Ireland the evictions were smaller than those in the lesser counties, he would contrast Cork and Armagh. lie reprobated on this account that which was stated by an eminent man, that every man should have GO years' lease of his holding. They had evidence that this was not even desired by the tenant himself, and it was per fectly absurd in detail. if the tenant of a large holding preferred the position of proprietor to tenant, he could obtain it by the purchase of land. Be oven the smaller ono cculd do so also. He could not con ceive why they should want to place mmi getting if per cent. for their money into the est.itea of men who did not by carrying out improvements raise the amount of the rout as the smaller holders did. In a report which he would quote it was stated that the writer did not meet with a more satisfactory state of things in any part of England than iu the north of Ireland, nor were the towns more wretched than those in Ireland. He did not see by what right they should be forced to buy up these holdings. According to this theory nobody could be a proprietor without being an occupier. The best farmer was generally the largest proprietor. He had heard that with regard to a large section of the rural population they believed that the land in Ireland had been sold to the Fenians. He concluded by stating that the question of landlords and tenants ought to be equally adjusted in Ireland, and gave notice of the bill he intended to bring in ou the question. Lord ST. LEON A.RDS said it was a very difficult question to argue upon. He thought that by act of Par liament the present legislation could meet any difficulty that might occur. Tho bill was thou introduced and read a first Ulna. HABEAS CORPUS ACT SUSPENSION (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of MALMESBUItY moved the second reading of this bill. Earl RUSSELL commenced by regretting the absence of Lord Derby, and observed that the obligation under which the Government found themselves to propose such a measure was a matter to be greatly deplored ; but their lordships could not refuse their assent to it, unless they felt that it was unnecessary, or that Ministers had abused their powers. He at once admitted that neither of these reasons was applicable in the present instance, and he was aware that the Lord Lieutenant had acted with moderation and the judges with impartiality in administering the law. Whilst, however, there was a necessity for tho further suspension of the or dinary law, they were bound to probe the causes of discontent and disaffection which prevailed in Ireland. He thought, therefore, her Majesty's Government should have explained their views upon the subject, and that legislation should not be postponed; for to satisfy the Irish mind at the present moment was necessary to the peace of the empire. Alluding to the Irish Church Esta blishment, the noble earl condemned it as a grievance and an anomaly unparalleled in any other country, and ho demanded with this difficulty before them that Govern ment should at once declare their intentions, and say whether they meant to propose such remedial measures as would bo necessary, or that they intended to uphold a policy of resistance. Tho Earl of lIARDWICKE expressed his astonishment r a t the position assumed by Earl Russell, who had so long held the helm of State without using the power it gave him to carry into effect the niews he professed now. As to the Irish Church, a proposal to abolish that would raisefar more enemies to the Imperial rule in Ireland than existed at present, and would seriously weaken the power of the Government in that country. Earl GREY was surprised at Ministers passing by the speech of Earl Russell in silence. The demand for such a measure as that before the house could only be justified by the immediate effort to remedy the evils which had made such a measure necessary. ills lordship cordially agreed with the views of his noble friend, and insisted on the abolition of the Irish Church, which was an insult and a degradation iu the eyes of the Irish people. The Duke of RICHMOND said that the Government had, as they were bound, taken into their consideration the whole state of Ireland, but he claimed for the Execu tive their right to decide the time and the occasions for initiating their own measures. Under these circumstances ho declined to enter upon a discussion on the tenure of land or the Irish Church, on a bill to which there wore no Obj c:iotts raised. The Marquis of WEST :JEITH declared that, so long as there w,s a single Protestant left in Irelaa't, there would be no peaceful abolition of the Est tbrahed Church. The Earl of ELLE`:BOROUGH sail it would be a mistaken policy to attempt to conciliate the Roman Catholic by the oppression of the Protestant, or to set up one Church for the spoliation of another. The property of the Irish Church was guaranteed by Parliament; but ho admitted it was desirable to establish also a necessary guarantee to the sister Church. The Protestants, however, were the bulwarks of the country. The bill wss then read a second time, and Their lordships adjourned. FOREIGN OFFICE, FED. 22.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his slat oa the Woolsack at five o'clock. THE IRISH RAILWAYS. The motion on this subject was postponed till Friday next. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Whitehall Railway Bill was read a socond time. RESIGNATION OF Tim EARL OF DER3Y. The Earl of MALMES BUR Y said that it was Li.: duty to inform their lordships that from failing health the Earl of Derby had been obliged to tender his resignation to her Majesty, and she had been pleased to accept it, and to give authority to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to form a new Administration. For himself ha would say that he was sure that both sides of the house would be sorry to hear of his being obliged to retire, not from party defeat, but from illness. What, then, must be the feeling of those wbo had fought tinier his lordship in many party fights. The purpose of the noble earl was that ha might recruit his strength, and he hoped that it would be so restored that ho would appear amongst thorn once more in that house. He would say no more upon the subject, but come to the resolution, as it was thought most advisable to adopt, and that was, as it was necessary that the Habeas Corpus Continuance Act should receive the royal assent b9fure Sunday, that the house should adjourn until two o'clock on Thursday. Earl RUSSELL expressed his regret and that of the party to which he belonged on the serious illness of Lord Derby, and although ho had many times differed with him on particular subjects, yet he regarded him with great esteem, and his great qualities wore capable of obtaining for him the greatest confidence amongst a large section of the people. He trusted that although he might never take official position lig tin, yet that his great eloquence would soon again bo heard within that house. HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION CONTINUANCE A 0 T. This bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendment. Their lurships then adjourned. lIOUSZ OF COMNIONS—Tius EVENING. The SPEAKER took tho chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. B. HOPE took the oath and his seat for the Uni versity of Cambridge. The hon. gentlem tu was intro duced by Mr. Walpole and Sir M. Stirling. RESIGNATION OF THE EARL OF DERBY. MINISTERIAL STATE ENT. Lord STANLEY said he had to announce, and that with the deepest regret, that in consequence of the state of health of Lord Derby it is re- quisite that he should retire from public affairs for some time to come. Under these circum stances he had felt it his duty to tender his resig nation of the office he now held, and that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to accept that resignation. By her Majesty's command the right hon, gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer was at present engaged in the formation of a Ministry. lle thought he should be following the invariable custom in such cases if he suggested the adjournment of the hous.e, in order to afford time to his right hon. friend to complete the necessary arrangements. (Rear, hear.) lie deeply re gretted, and his right hon. friend also deeply re gretted, that anything should have occurred to in- terfere with the debate which the hon. gentleman opposite (Hr. Maguire) intended to have initiated that evening, but if the house thought favourably of his proposal, and it met with approval, he should move that the house adjourn until Friday next. The SPEAKER put the question that the house at its rising adjourn until that day, when there were cries of " Gladstone, Gladstone." Mr. GLADSTONE said, so far as the proposi tion just made to the house was concerned, he should have thought he was not called upon to say a single word, it was so obviously dictated by the circumstances of the case. It had become necessary for the noble lord, by his singular destiny, to com municate such an event to the house, and ho (Mr. Gladstone)could not adequately express his regret that a career so distinguished and so remarkable as that of his father should have been brought to a close by the failure of his bodily health and strength. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. MAGUIRE said he deeply regretted the circumstances that had occurred, which prevented him pressing his motion that evening, but he begged to ask what Government day would be given to him to bring forward his motion ? He would not ask for an answer to his question until Friday next, but he did think that he had a right to some indul gence. Lord STANLEY said all he could say was that his right hon. friend was most anxious that the im portant subject (the state and condition of Ireland) should be brought forward, and that it should be fully and speedily discussed. The house then adjourned until Friday. LONDON GAZETTE.--THIS EVENING. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, ST. JAMES'S PALACE, FEB. 3.
