A Reform Bill was brought in under the auspices of Mr. GLADSTONE, whose power, as Mr. ROEBUCK humorously put it, has always been greater over his enemies than over his friends. His friends turned him out, and with the reappearance of Lord DERBY on the political stage Mr. ROEBUCK believed he saw a chance of the " real Reform Bill" he pined for. "If ever a Reform Bill is carried," he said to himself, " it will be by these men, and so sure as they bring in a bill I will support them and their Government." He was among the first to do so, and was received " with a yell of disapprobation." He was told that he did not know what he was doing, and this asser- tion gave great offence to Mr. ROEBUCK'S politicaldig nity. "Having," he exclaimed indignantly, "passed so long a life in public business, I did not know what I was doing." Events have shown that he did know very well what he was doing, and his consti tuents have no reason to be ashamed of their mem ber's conduct as a Reformer, nor to regret the " contempt" with which he treated the people who called upon him to resign his seat I With the bill itself he is, on the whole, very well satisfied. It is, he thinks, a liberal measure, so liberal that it frightened its own originators. Mr. ROEBUCK, however, says it has not frightened him, and he very soon disposes of the bugbear of Democracy. He has more faith, be declares, in the working classes than in the small shopkeepers, whose in fluence is now predominant ; and there is no reason why he should not have such confidence. They are Englishmen, holding all kinds and shades of political opinion like the ranks above them, and if some are extreme in their theories, they would for the most part be very slow and unwilling to put those theories in practice. "I am quite sure," said Mr. ROEBUCK last evening, " that no harm will come to England while we have a free press and a free people, and that free press and the constant intercommunication of thought will render the past Reform Bill one of the greatest boons ever conferred upon the people of this country." Having expressed himself with confidence respecting the achievements of the past, Mr. ROEBUCK proceeded to look with equal confidence to the future. Every one, he said, was afraid of war ; but he believed there was at present no cause for such apprehension. France had immense influVnce in Europe, and in France the commercial interest was beginning to predominate over the military. With regard to America the Irish element, he admitted, was produc tive of mischief, but still he attributed much of the Americau support to Fenianism to the desire to secure the Irish vote. His observations on Ireland and the Irish were marked by good sense and real patriotism, and were received with strong marks of approval by his audience. During the rise and progress of Fenianism we have certainly met with some strange news, and the last is that an accusation has been brought against her MAJESTY'S Sheriff for the island of Alderney. A privt)te investigation took place before the magis trates, the result of which has not as yet tran spired, but meanwhile Mr. SIMON has been suspended, and bail is required for his appearance at the proper time. This is serious so far as it goes ; and, besides this, an accusation of a similar nature has been brought against a police constable at Birmingham, and during the inquiries that were instituted it was discovered that others of the force, as well as the accuse 3, have been in the habit of making use of seditious F lan guage. This is certainly very unsatisfactory, and something decided should be done to check it, be cause an infusion of this evil spirit in ever so small a degree in such a quarter may do far more harm than a great deal in another direction. It is, in deed, quite surprising to notice how widespread is this insidious conspiracy, and into what unexpected neighbourhoods it finds its way. The only thing that can be dune is to check it wherever and whenever it appears, so that it may not gain ground; but it is disappointing to find that those who ought to know better than others the nature and wickedness of Fenianism should lend themselves to its cause and seek to spread its work. The man who posted the Fenian placard at the Mansion-house has been arrested, at least it is presumed that he is the same, because he was found yesterday putting a placard of a similar nature in the same place. He will be brought before the Lord Mayor to-day. Some ' papers were found upon him which were of an in criminating character, especially an entry concern ing the execution of the three culprits at Manchester. Yestvday the men who had been arrested at Dept ford were brought up at the Greenwich Police-court. Here again suspicious documents were found in the prisoners' lodgings; but the prisoners themselves did not seem to think that they had done anything very amiss. Under the circumstances it is not to be wondered at that bail was refused for all of them. The special constables are increasing rapidly. At St. George the Martyr, Parliament street, an aggregate meeting took place, and Col. EWART, the officer appointed by Government, ad dressed them in some very energetic terms. He particularly advised them to get acquainted with the proper common drill, so that, in case of emer gencies, they might all act together in the most powerful and efficient manner. Arrangements were made in order to carry out the most suitable plans, and the affair passed off very satisfactorily. It would b© agood thing if this example were fol lowed in other places, for too much care and cau tion cannot possibly be taken in order to attain success in the requisite direction ; but at any rate it is very satisfactory that so much zeal should have been displayed in the cause, for a movement of this spontaneous nature is more likely to be effective than any thing which the authorities might do even in the usual manner. An important telegram has been received from Vienna, bearing date the twenty-fourth of January. In this it is stated that hitherto an office has been in existence in Austria in which was centred the complete control of th© army, called the Amude abereanmende. This is now abolished, and the au thority previously vested in it has been given to the responsible Minister of War. These measures will be announced to-day, as it is expected that their reception will cause general satisfaction, and be ac cepted as an " additional guarantee for the consti tutional system." This is very good news, and it is to be hoped that it will realise all the expecta tions formed about it, and convince the people that the EMPEROR'S Government are really deter mined to do their utmost in the work of progress. So much has bees done, hitherto that it is not going too far to look forward to more yet being achieved. The course pursued by the EMPEROR is worthy of all commendation, and the more so because affairs were in so unpromising a condition before the com mencement of these Constitutional Reforms. It shows, at any rate, that it is never too late to begin improvement, no matter how inauspicious may be the aspect at the outset, and that appearances are deceitful, for who could have believed it possible after the battle of Sadowa that the Austrians would have been able to retrieve their position as they have done. The more that they effect in the right direction, the more lope and confidence MCI! WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

His address was, as usual, straightforward and to the point, and he touched upon the principal events of the year in his well-known causCic and downright man ner. Mr. ROEBUCK'S plain speaking spares neither friends nor foes, and he is in the habit of telling more truths than people generally like to hear ; but we are apt also to hear from him in public what every one says in private. He does not deal in platitudes or in political professions, and so he is always listened to with attention and interest, even when, as at the banquet of last evening, h ker e goes over a well-worn subject. Few public speas by this time would have courage to re-open the disputes of last session, o r to go again over the ground of Reform ; but Mr. ROEBUCK, who never lacks for daring, made the attempt, and carried it through successfully. He began by remarking on the wide influence of commerce, on everything con nected with the happiness and welfare of mankind, and then ingeniously reversing the figu r e , he said that be mi g ht, • w ithout any very great strain, bring almost anything into the programme of commercial transactions. Such a year as weehave passed, through is, according to Mr. ROEBUCK, an era in a nation's life. when the present Government penatr, camethe For his confessed when made one resolution, and that was, thtt, having got Lord DERBY in power; out of him a real reform of that the Whigs could not carry a second Reform Bill. He said so in 1859, and was, as he reminded his hearers last evening, hooted at in that very town of Sheffield for saying. It is all one to Mr. ROEBUCK, however, whether what he says is re ceived with hoots or cheers. They may not be equally agreeable to listen to, but the consideration does not certainly affect the expression of his opinions. In this instance, as in many others, time has proved that Mr. ROEBUCK was in the right. The Whigs could not, or would not, carry a Reform Bill' view (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

Gobazyse is also in the neighbourhood, and an en gagement is believed to be imminent. Gobazyse has sent a friendly message to Sir R. Napier. NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (Noon.) The Senate has passed the bill rebistating Mr. Stanton in the post of Secretary of War by 35 votes to 6. The Senate has adopted a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to investigate the expe• diency of providing a law for the suspension of officials from office pending impeachment and trial. A bill has been introduced into the House of Representatives declaring that no valid civil Go vernments ezist in the States lately in rebellion, transferring all powers of removal and appointment in those States under the Reconstruction Act from the President to the General Commanding in the army, and making it a high misdemeanour for the President to employ the army or navy to enforce the authority of the present Civil Government in the rebellious States. intelligence has since been received per Atlantic cable that this bill has been passed. Senator Doolittle has presented the report of the minority of the Military Committee, strongly de- fending President Johnson's course in removing Mr. Stanton. General Meade has removed the State Treasurer in Georgia, and has appointed a military successor to the post. The General has also issued an order legalising the Convention ordinance staying exe cutions to collect debts in Alabama until January, 1869. . General Hancock has issued an order nullifying General Sheridan's special instructions for the registration of bonds. The Louisiana Convention has passed an ordi nance declaring it a misdemeanour to eject any labourer from the plantation where he is registered until after the vote upon the New State Constitu- General Butler addressed the negroes at Rich mond yesterday, and was enthusiastically received.

The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Hammonia, from New York, has arrived here, with 76 passengers for this port, llavre, and Hamburg ; 45 sacks of mails for London, $15,000 for England, and $BOO for Hamburg. On the 23d the Hammonia passed a Bremen steamer bound west, supposed to be the Union. TIM BOMBAY MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 25.

Accounts from Tangier and Tetuan state that the people in the neighbourhood of those towns were suffering severely through scarcity of food. Thou sands of poor, on the brink of starvation, were flock ing in from the country to obtain relief at Tangier and Tetuan. At the British and Spanish Legations in Tangier bread was daily distributed. A succession of dry seasons and a deficient harvest led to the present scarcity throughout Northern Africa.

THE DEHOLITIONS IN THE STRAND.—Yesterday another sale of houses which are to be demolished for the purpose of clearing the site on which the new courts of law are to be erected took place on the spot by Messi s, Evers&ld and Home, the auctioneers. The lots sold yes terday comprised Lower Serle's-place, formerly one of the most degraded places in London, Upper Serle's-place, Bailey's court, and several other courts and alleys, forming part of that network of dilapidated buildings lying to the north of the Strand by Temple-bar. Bad as the materials were they appeared to realise good prices. ACTION FOR A LAP-DOG.—•A suit between brother and sister, to decide a claim to the possession of a lap-dog, has just come before the civil tribunal of the Seine. Mdme. Bauer, the mistress of Coquette (for so the object in litigation is named), was staying at Boulogne-sur-Mer in autumn last, when she was taken ill of the cholera. Madame Horan, her sister-in-law, went to attend her during her illness, and on leaving, after Madame Bauer's convalescence, took away with her Coquette. Thence arose the dispute. Madame Bauer maintains that she had only lent the dog to Madame Herza until she should be sufficiently recovered to again devote to it her accustomed attention, while Madame Herza, on the contrary, affirms that the pet was given her as a mark of gratitude for her attendance on her husband's sister ; that Madame Bauer then possessed the mother of Coquette, but that the former having since died, she wished to have Coquette back as a consolation. Madame Bauer, in the meantime, on her re turn to Paris, carried off the deg by force from :ter bro ther's house ; M. Herza, who maintained the claim of his wife, then appealed to the Jugs de Pais, who ordered the sister to restore Coquette, under a penalty of five francs a day fur the delay. Maclaine Bauer then appealed to the Civil Court, which tribunal has now confirmed the decision of the Juge de Paix. "Dear Sirs,—l suffered very much from a pain in m side for twelve months. I tried a gi'eat •mittly remedies but got no relief until I used the Pain Killer, when I soon began to recover, and am now quite well.—Yours truly, ANN MURPIIY." " Sirs,—l desire to boar testimony to the wonderful efficacy of your excellent medicine, which I be lieve has no equal.

Perry Davis and Son, 17, Southampton-row, Holborn (W.e.) None genuine without their trade mark, PAIN KILLER, ea the Govern.- !tient etipmp.—(ApTr.) MR. ROE. rEFI lELD. On Friday evening the annual dinner of the Sheffield Chanibcr of Commerce took place at the King's Head Hotel ; Mr. C. Atkinson, the president of the chamber, in the chair. Mr. ROTIBUCH, in responding to the toast of " The Borough Members," made a few introductory observations on the treatment which he had received for having acted independently of party. He then continued: We have got a more liberal Reform Bill than ever Whig proposed. We have got a bill that has even frightened the persons who proposed it. It has not frightened me. We shall find now what the great people of England really mean ; and as I have got confidence in the right-heartedness of my own countrymen, I have no dread of the future. (Cheers, and " That is the point.") That is the point ; you are quite right, sir. I have no dread of my countrymen, but now they (the Whigs) wail and whine, and say, " Oh, these people have clone what they never intended to do—all the good they have done we ought to have done. These people are not Reformers ; we are the Reformers. This is a business to which they are not accustomed—you may see it by the great good they have done." They bave done good, but, not for the first time in their party's history, they have carried Liberal measures. Who carried the resumption of cash payments? Sir Robert Peel. Who carried Catholic Emanci pation? Sir Robert Peel. Who carried free trade and the repeal of the Corn Laws? Sir Robert Peel. All this was done by a Tory Administration—(loud cheers)—and then I am told I can get no good out of these people. Indeed, I have got more good out of them than out of anybody else. As to the great Reform Bill, that was carried by no party ; it was carried by the people of England, and therefore I owe, and my countrymen owe, nothing to any party, or condition, or sect, for the carrying of the great Reform Bill of 1832. Well, sir, we carried the last Reform Bill ; it is before us ; we have got to work it. The people of this town will by and by—a great number of them—be endowed with political power, and I have much more faith in the working men of this country than —you must pardon me for saying it—l have in the small shopkeepers of this country. They will be true to them. selves, and the great governing intellectual power of Eng land will rule over her destinies still. I have no fear of what is called the wild democracy. I know my country men are wonderfully credulous. The working man is espe cially credulous to his own class, and the consequence is that he is constantly imposed upon by his own class. But the ramifications and the influences of the upper portion of society work down deep and low into our social relations, and I am quite sure that no harm will come to England while we have a free press and a free people, and that free press and the constant intercommunication of thought will render the last Reform Bill one of the greatest boons eves conferred upon the people of this country. Now, sir, I have done with the past. I look forward now to the future, and the future embraces foreign and domestic policy. As regards foreign policy, I am speaking among corn. mercial men, and you will all see that I speak the truth. There is much doubt and suspicion in the public mind that there is no power given to the enemy of this country. You are all afraid of something, you don't know what. You believe that war is at hand. People willnot speak out and tell you what they mean ; but lam quite sure—and I speak from the experience of forty years of public life—there is nc danger of war at the present time. I will go step by step throughout the European countries, and I begin with France . Whenever France is agitated Europe cannot be quiet. She has such an influence over every part of Europe, that any thing that touches her must affect Europe. The First Na poleon, in his wonderful pride and self-appreciation, called the people of England a nation of shopkeepers. We never were shopkeepers, but the people of France have be. come a nation of shopkeepers, and as shopkeepers they dread war ; the French shopkeeper will go to the wall if war comes on ; the soldier will take the lead in everything, and buttons or something else will go down in price. Prussia wants to consolidate what she has gained. War don't do it—peace alone can do it, and, depend upon it, M. Bismarck, who knows what he is about, will not go to war with France. As for Russia, they won't and can't go to war. Therefore I say, take heart my countrymen— my commercial and manufacturing countrymen, take heart. There is no danger of war ; we shall have peace for many a good day yet to come ; it only depends upon yourselves, your own industry, and your own pouraie, to maintain the position which England has ever maintained, to carry commerce to the uttermost ends of the earth. Our happi ness to a great extent is bound up with that of America. We are nearly related, and the faults and virtues of both peoples are very much alike. But there is an element in America and in England which is working for mischief, and, I say it with regret, that element is the Irish element in both countries. The Irish in America hold together ; they speak not as American citizens, but as Irishmen, and in that character endeavour to wield the force of America against England. A very large portion of the press of America is Irish, and therefore you see a good deal of bal derdash in the American papers. It does not belong to the old Pilgrim Father wen—not a bit of it. They are Eng lish, but the rodomontade, what I call the balderdash, that now too often appears in the American papers is attribu table to the Irish element in America. The main politics of the coining year may be summed up in three great things—the Scotch Reform Bill, the Irish Reform Bill, and some legislat ion or other res p ectin g the trades unions of this country. Any liberty that has been granted, any power that has been given to the people of England can be safely given to the people of Scotland. 'Their representa tion I have no fear of. They will bring men of worth, men of thought, men of prudence, men of honour into the English House of Commons. They are a great people ; and it is a great happiness for that people to be able to say that they are not a conquered people. Scotland joined us honestly and honourably through her Parliament. They were a set of uncommon scoundrels, by-the-bye ; but they did one good deed—they joined Scotland to England, and from that time to this Scotland has learnt the benefit of being connected with a richer people. She has brought into our laws and literature, into our habits of thought and feelings of society, everything that could honour, distin guish, and heighten a nation. I come now to a different subject—l come to Iceland. A great statesman talks about Ireland and tells us that we must legislate in the spirit of Ireland for Ireland. What does that mean ? Why, if it means anything—l do not know that it does — it means this, that we are to separate Ireland from Eng land. Now, sir, as long as there is breath in my body or a drop of blood in my veins I will oppose any kind of sepa ration of the two countries. When they talk about the wrongs of Ireland what amazing nonsense they do talk ? Are there any wrongs of Ireland? I want to know what they are. What is the difference in the law between England and Ireland which militates against the interests of the people of Ireland? Tenant-right—is there any difference between England and Ireland ? Does the tenant in England claim anything more than by law he is entitled to ? And is there not the same law in Ireland as in England ? But then it was said, " Oh, they don't give us leases." Well, a great number of English landlords do not give leases, and a very large portion of the land of this country is held from year to year. The law, therefore, is the same in one country as in the other. Have they not trial by jury, as we have ? Have they not judges of their own religion ? Is there anyßoman Catholic country in the world in which the opposing Protestant is treated as we treat Catholics? (Cheers.) Now, I want to know what we can do. Canwe alter the law s of nature ? Can we alter the character of the Irish land ? Depend upon it, sir, it is not law that will make Ireland what she ought to be. It is the teaching of her teachers ; it is the reception of that teaching by hero eople ; it is a determi nation on the part of everybody do his duty in that state of life in which it has pleased God to call him, and not to turn round to talk nonsense about " Erin-go-brag,h" or " Bryan Berm" Irishmen go from this country, being born and bred subjects of her Majesty, to America, and become American citizens ; they come back here and they break the law of this country; they are put upon their trial, and then they have the mild effrontery to ask for a jury composed of Americans. They are,not Americans ; they are Irishmen. But then comes back to us this painful recollection, that we have done amazing wrong to Ireland, that for centuries we have done mischief, and a nation cannot be wronged without the coming generation of that nation feeling it. For centuries we have misgoverned and ill-treated Ireland, but for the last half-eentury we have done all we could to repair that mischief. The emigrant who has gone from Ireland with his hear t full of bitter enmity against England lands in America and there he finds this—he finds two parties, one fighting against the other, very much as we do in England, and he holds the balance between them. Both parties court him, and both parties talk nonsense to please him—the Demo crats and Republicans both forget themselves and their duty to mankind in so doing, but they do it ; and they talk nonsense to please the Irish voter. Call upon the Americans to put aside the stigma that now is endeavouring to attach to them ; to drag themselves out of this mire, and to show themselves what they are—a really straightfor ward, honest, sincere people, not to be led away by the talk of those people to whom they have attached them selves. (The hon. member, after returning thanks for the patient manner in which he had been listened to, resumed his seat amid loud applause.) [y A terrific gale raged at Edinburgh on Friday from eleven o'clock in the forenoon till six in the evening. At one o'clock a block of chimneys in Duke-street was blown over and fell through five flats of dwelling•houses. One servant in the upper story, two clerks on the street floor, and a lady in the second floor were killed. Two other persons were buried ; one escaped unhurt, the other ►vas severely injured. A large number of minor casualties P. re reported. WS. The adjourned delegate meeting of the London trades, in rezer(n - s:e to the deputation to Mr. Gladstone, was held Friday evening, at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey. About 100 delegates were present. Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said the movement in which the trades of London were now engaged bad excited considerable public attention, and he had no doubt that the result would be not only to disabuse the mind of Mr. Gladstone, but that of filo public generally, of the prejudice now existing again:: trades unions. The points which the deputation won! 1. have to discuss with Mr. Gladstone were, the limitation cji apprentices, the minimum rate of wages, piece-work overtime, legal protectiim for the funds of trade societies, and the ad - Vantages of trades unions ; and also to combat the assertion that the unions were driving trade out of the Country. Since the last meeting he had communicated the proceedings to Mr. Gladstone, and had received the foll Owing letter, dated llawarden, Jan. 17 : "Dear Sir,—l fear, from the enclosures in your letter, that there may have bee,n some slight misunderstanding between us, and that what I contemplate had better be further explained. My object is to inform, myself, and this can only be .done in a conversational interview with afew persotis. I would name six or eight at the outside, and if You will kindly procure a selection to be made of such persons as are themselves best inforind about the facts as well as the principles of trades unions, I am sure I shall Obtit greatly by the meeting. I could not name an earlier day for it than Tuesday, February 18 ; but I have not the least,objection to the presence of a reporter if you desire it, and I cl,o, not think the parliamentary columns will by that time be very full. I propotie half-past two as the libur, And I remaili your faithful servant, " Mr. George Potter." "VT. E. GLADSTONE. He would therefore suggest that the meeting shouki now proceed to elect a committee of fifteen, who should meet and select from among themselves eight members to con stitute the deputation to Mr. Gladstone. After considerable dismission the suggestion of the chairman was embodied in a resolution and unanimously agree to, and the delegates of the following fifteen trades were elected as the committee, viz., bookbinders, brush makers, cigai-Makers, glassmakers, gas-meter makers, joiners, masons, organ builders, plasterers, painters, rope makers, smiths, saddlers, tailors, and tallow chandlers. It was then resolved that the committee elected shoula report to an adjourned meeting of delegates, to be held on Friday, the 7th February next ; and that in the mean time all trades represented should send into the committee their rules bearing on the points to be discussed. 0 COLLIERY ON EIRE. The fire at Mr. Stone's colliery, Close-lane, Hindley green, near Wigan, which was shortly reported a few days back, has continued during the whole of the past week) and threatens to become very serious. It was discovered (7 4 the 12th inst. by the hooker-on, who found flames issuing from the downcast shaft. Assistance was obtained, and both this and the upcast were securely covered in, the heat having then become so intense as to burn the hands of the men employed. On the Wednesday following the coverings were removed, a stream of water poured into the pit, and an attempt was then made to descend, but the heat at the bottom was too great ; the cage had to be drawn again to the surface ; and in three-quarters of an hour flames were again issuing from the downcast pit- Both shafts were again closed, and the following morning it was decided, after a consultation, to fill up the bottom of tke winding shaft with clay, and this having been done the pit was left till the present week, when another attempt was made to enter. A quantity of clay having been removed, a passage was made into an old dumb drift leading to the upcast shaft, and then into the return air course, where an air-crossing was built. The explorers then reached some doors communicating between the down and the spea.st shafts, and on opening these they found about twelve yards of a smouldering fire, upon which a hose connected with an engine at the surface was brought to play until comLustionj was checked. On reaching the downcast shaft, however, it was found that the fire had extended for some distance along the west level, and it subsequently appeared that the main fire was in that direction. The regular mouthing was broken into, and a thorough ventilation having been secured, the fire was driven along the level for some distance, until it was found to have taken three directions—up brow, down brow, and along the level. Two of these were built up, and the fire was followed down brow for some fifty yards, when it was again necessary to build up the opening, as the fire had, as in the previous instance, gone several ways. This occupied the whole of the morning, and in the afternoon a couple of underlookers were left to watch the fire. About half-past four o'clock they sent to bank for a saw, and a collier took ono down. Shortly afterwards one of the underlookers came to the surface and reported all satis factory, but he had not been out of the cage many seconds before a violent explosion took place. The shock was felt at a considerable distance, and a dense volume of smoke and flame issued from the mouth of the upcast. There were, of course, well-grounded fears for the safety of the men in the pit, but the anxiously-awaited reply to the signal sent down to them was " All right," and they were promptly drawn to the surface uninjured. Another cow sulta.tion was held, and it was determined to fill the down cast with clay as before, and in this state it still remains. The pit is only forty yards deep, and the seam worked is the Ifindley-green five-foot. Flooding is entirely out of the question, as there are something like a mile and a quarter Of old we'll-jugs, and it would cause several neighbouring collieries to be " drowned out." The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Theophile Cbrestien as Consul for Rangoon and British Burmah, and of Mr. William Arbuthnot as Consul for Madras and the Presidency thereof, for his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway. The Archbishop of York, following the example of the Bishop of London, has addressed a letter to Dr. Gray, urging him to delay the consecration of Mr. Macrorie. Hi s Grace bases his appeal on the consideration of two impor tant questions—whether the Bishop of Natal was rightly and canonically deprived ; and whether, under all th Circumstances, the consecration contemplated can lawfully take place. The Archbishop; intimates that he entertains " grave doubts " upon the points at issue, and entreats his right rev, brother to postpone the consecration until time shall have been given " for procuring an opinion upon the whole case, either of the highest court, or of the best law yers, canonists, and civilians who can be found in this country." AN ATROCIOUS DEED.—A dastardly outrage has been committed in the village of Old Basford, near Not tingham. During the last two years a co-operative asso ciation has carried on a provision business in shop premises in David-lane, and on Wednesday evening the manager, Mr. Laban Bexon, was receiving goods out of the store room into the front sale-shop. He stooped to pick up a parcel of sugar he had dropped, when he was suddenly en veloped in an explosive flash, which singed off his whiskers and beard, badly scorched his face, and set his coat and shirt-sleeve on fire. Stunned and bewildered, he groped his way to the pump to put out the fire. In the mean time an alarm had been raised outside, for a girl, named Chawner, who was passing, was blown down in the road by the force of the explosion, and, in her fright, screamed " I'm shot, I'm shot !" A large crowd collected, for the adjoining premises had felt the shock. The windows of the store-room and the sale shop had been blown out, and the stock in the former place was all in disorder. Frag ments of a tin case were found, and, as pieces of glass were strewn on the store-room floor, the conclusion is that the explosion was caased by a canister containing gun ' powder being thrown in at the window. It was at first thought that Bexon had lost his eyesight, but he is now progressing favourably. The police are making every inquiry, but at present no clue has been met with. FATAL FIRE.—A disastrous fire broke out about midnight on Thursday on the premises of Mr. Frederick Pigg, hosier and boot and shoe manufacturer, Market row, Great Yarmouth. It appears that Mr. Pigg, his wife Sarah Pigg, age 20, and their three infant children— Edith, age 2i years, Fanny Eliza, age 1 year, and Mabel, age 1 month—and the servant, a yoking woman named Rebecca Abbs, retired to rest at an early hour on Thursday night, leaving everything apparently safe. Mr. Pigg, his wife, and the youngest infant slept in the middle floor, while the servant, with the other children, slept in an attic. At midnight Mr. Pigg was awakened by a feeling of suffo cation, and he soon discovered that the room was filled with smoke. He routed his wife, who in her fright rushed up stairs after the other infants. In the meantime the flames, which had originated in a lower story, spread with rapidity. The servant with great difficulty escaped with one child. Edith, by jumping through a back window, wounding one of her legs and severely cutting one of her feet. Mr. Pigg also escaped, although he fainted when he reached the street. Mrs. Pigg was heard to exclaim that she could not desert her children, and just then the roof gave way, and she and her little ones were buried under the burning mass. The locality is densely populated, and the' houses arc in close contignity on each side of the row. The fire accordingly passed from Mr. Pigg's house, which was completely gutted, to the house of Mr. Tyson, a draper, on the opposite side, the house of Mr. A. Waters, another draper, &c., a great amount of additional damage being thus inflicted. The charred remains of Mrs. Pigg and her two little children were dug out of the ruins of Mr. Pigg's house in the course of Friday morning. Mr. Pigg, was but partially insured ; the other sufferers were fully insured. The damage is estimated at from £3,000 to I £4,000. The Yarmouth Fire Brigade rendered good ser vice in subduing the fire. Cur 03a „ elyinat , t HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 23. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, ac companied by Princess Louise and Princess Hen rietta of Schleswig-Holstein ; and her Majesty walked in the grounds this morning, attended by the Duchess of Roxburghe. Prince and Princess Christian rode in the grounds. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen has left Osborne. THE PRINCE OF WALES'S FARM AT ,SANDRINGHAM. The completion of the model farm premises marks ;he fact tbat his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has become a practical agriculturist, and some few particulars respecting the royal farm will be read with interest. The estate consists of about 7,000 acres, 2,000 of which are heath and plantations, and about 500 acres of these are planted. The park is only about 200 acres in extent, and a portion of it produces a useful herbage ; but some of it was very inferior till improved by drain age and moulding, with top dressing and sprink ling with seeJs. For many years a small piece of .reebold land belonging to a man named Clark, about three acres in extent, has just jutted into the park ; but this has just been purchased by the Prince, and has been thrown into the park, and all the cottages on this (the West Newton) side of the park are being removed, The farm, which the Prince has taken into his own hands, is about 40 acres in extent, and includes the home farul at Sandringham, and that which was formerly Cork's farm at West Newton. Of this we find there are 365 acres of arable land, and 47 acres of grass, besides about 70 acres of marshes at Wolferton and Babingtou. The Wolferton portion of the estate has recently been considerably added to by the reclamations of the Norfolk Estuary Com pany. About a hundred acres of the Prince's arablo land consists of good, bright, and productive laud, and about the same quantity is a fair soil on a chalk subsoil, and the remaining 165 acres are poor, on sandy, light laud resting on the carr and gravel on the West Newton heath. The poorest of this land is prolific of building and road-making materials. It will be seen from what is stated above, that, includ ing the park, his royal highness farms about an equal quantity of arable and pasture land. The Model Farin buildings have been erected at the rear of the royal gardens, and face the south, being well shel tered on the north and west. They are built with the native carr with stone and brick facings, and slate roofs; and the square block of buildings con tains two open yards, and this block is 168 feet in width, and 113 feet deep. Each of the open yards contains, in the centre, an iron water tank, 13 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 6 inches, underneath which is a cistern into which the liquid manuro drains, and is afterwards carted on to the land. Each yard is surrounded by pavement six or seven feet wide. The north end of the east yard is an hospital stable, and the east side consists of a twelve-stalled stable for the farm-horses, but at present occupied by the Prince's horses, which cannot be accommodated at the Royal Mews. A large straw barn, 60 feet long by 20 feet wide, with sliding doors and asphalte flooring, occupies the centre of the north range of buildings. The yards are separated by the calves' boxes and piggeries, the latter being fitted up with Crosskill and Sons' patent troughs, and tenanted with some exceedingly pretty little members of the porcine family. At the south end is the meal-room and boiling-house. The north and west part of the second yard consists of the cow stalls and fattening boxes ; the Alderney cows are brought here to be milked, and the fattening boxes are occupied by twelve Devons. These boxes are supplied With Cottam's patent feeding troughs. The windows are fitted up with sliding shutters, and oak pariell separate the stalls. At the south end is a capitally fitted up slaughter house, in which the beef, mutton, and pork for consumption at the royal table iS slaughtered. All these premises are lighted up with gas. Beyond the north end of this block is a roadwaY 41 feet wide, and on the other side of which is a range of buildings 16S feet long by 26 feet 4 inches wide, at each end of which is a three-storied octa gon tower. The east tower conveys a large _roll cistern to supply the whole range of buildings wit h , water, which is conveyed to the cistern by means 0 - a force-pump from a well which has been sunk con tiguous, the water being found 27 feet below th e level of the soil. The other tower is used as granary, and the range of buildings comprises cart sheds, implement houses, machine houses for cutting , threshing, and dressing, with a large granarY chamber, capable of holding 400 coombs of wry' They are fitted up with sliding-doors, and are OP' plied with machinery by Mr. Dodman, of King e Lynn.
