THE FIRE AT TH E HO USES OF -------- PARLIAMENT.— It is satisfactory , after a min u t e examination made by the brigade authorities, for the purpose cf learning how the fire • occurred on Monday afternoon, in the clock tower of the new Houses of Parliament, to be able to state that the flames were, not wilfully caused by any person, as was at one time imagined. The ground• floor of the tower, it has been stated, was used as a general store for carp enters ' building mate rials. The firemen, however, found that a pipe, formed of iron, used for carrying off the smoke from the plumbers' workshops adjoining, ran into the wall of the tower, and owing to the great heat applied for melti ng the lead, had fired the soot in the pipe, which fell amongst the building materials on the ground floor, and hence the fire. This is fully confirmed by Wing, one of the firemen, who was on duty within the buildings at the time of the discovery. For a long time before he saw the fire he exp er i enced a . strong smell of wood undergoing the process of embus tion. S o fully convinced was he __us.e that something must b e i n an incipient stage of combustion, that he went into th e roofs and carefully examined round the flues , leading from , The admirable letter s w hi c h J OHN M AC GBEGoit, but without finding anythin g t o the honoured and efficient representative of the largest the various fire-places confirm his suspicions.

He pos sesses too, a happy facility for presenting his views, in a singularly clear, and lucid form, so that any p-,rson of ordinary capacity may follow and clearly understand his meaning, and compare the existing financial system with that which he brings forward as its substitution ; or, in other words " taxation as it with " taxation as it ought to be." He unravels the various complicated details with a master-hand, and arranges all in smooth and perfect order, so that " he who runs may read." Mr. MACGREGOR, too, possesses no ordinary claims on the public attention. He has afforded the most unequivocal and unanswerable evidence of the purity and disinterestedness of his motives. He com menced his Parliamentary career where that of others usually terminated. In order to serve his country he relinguished a distinguished and lucrative situation— the Secretaryship of the Board of Trade, which would have satisfied the ambition of most men and been considered an ample equivalent for long-continued and valuable services in the Legislature. But Mr. MAC GREGOR unhesitatingly sacrificed place and emolu ment when he felt that he could better promote the national interests in another sphere of action. He abandoned the Board of Trade that he might become the member for the city of Glasgow—the commercial metropolis of his native land; that he might deliver freely in his place in Parliament, and to the commu nity in general, the free and unfettered opinions, the genuine sentiments of an unplaced and unpensioned patriot. Such a man is, indeed, worthy of honour, and he is honoured by all whose respect and approbation are worth having. The powerful and convincing document, which will be found in extenso in another part of this day's impression, affords the best and most satisfactory evidence that the general expectation will not be disappointed this year. The taxation and expendi ture of the country are the points to which, as usual, he chiefly directs his energies. He does not underrate the importance of the other questions that must inevitably arise during the forth coming session, but he justly considers that fiscal and financial reforms have paramount claims upon the attention of those whose exertions are paralyzed under the extraordinary burdens to which they are subjected, and he is well aware of the golden opportunity afforded by the termination of the law under which the income and property-tax is levied to let slip the fortunate moment for a general revision and amelioration of the existing system, by a large fe luction in the amount of taxation, and a large and comprehensive alteration in the mode of col lection of the national revenue. Happy, in deed, would it be for the nation if Mr. MACGREGOR'S views should receive an official imprimatur, and still more fortunate if he himself, whom we believe to be, longointervallo, the first living financier in the United Kingdom, if not in Europe, should be enabled to deliver these statements as the annual budget of the Financial Minister of this mighty empire. Then, indeed, the people would have real cause for rejoicing—then, indeed, we should have reason to hope that the taxes which unduly press on industry would be forthwith repealed, and that without any considerable addition to the charges on the fortunate few—the fruges consunsere nati, whose best interests would be promoted by the change. Every man would then contribute to the support of the national establishments and the liquidation of the national lia bilities, secundem statem et facultates, according to his means and the position which he occupied in the social scale. The instructive history of the national debt—the mode in which it was contracted, and from time to time increased--is eminently suggestive, and serves as an excellent preface to his direct propositions. It shows the imperative necessity of a complete measure of Parliamentary reform ; for if we owe the public debt of 800,000,0001. sterling, requiring the annual payment of 28,000,0001. sterling for interest, to " a House of Commons not representing the people, a House corrupted by the Crown and the Ministers of the day," it is manifest that, until that House be thoroughly reformed, until it reflects the popular feelings and popular wishes, we can scarcely anticipate the removal of all the griev ances, the abatement of all the nuisances which naturally spring from its defective and corrupt or- ganization. We shall,. however, for the present, fol low the example of Mr. MACGREGOR, and not further allude to this all-important topic, which in due time will force itself on the consideration of the House and Country. The economy and retrenchment practicable withou' violation of the public faith, or injury to the public credit, and without the efficiency of the national esta blishments being in any degree impaired or deterio rated, is first appropriately noticed. The Hon. Gen tleman does not name 'a round sum, taken at hap hazard, within which the expenditure must be re stricted ; and which, although it may form an excel lent mode of embarrassing an opponent, could never be acted on if the party by whom it was suggested were required by his SOVEREIGN, with the consent and approbation of the community, to carry his own designs into execution. He is, however, well aware that with out " a thorough reform of our expenditure" and its re duction within the narrowest limits consistent with honour and safety, it is absurd to call for the abolition of the taxes which are so loudly and so greatly com plained of by the country. There will be a surplus of from 2,000,0001. to perhaps 2,500,0001., the greater portion of which will be absorbed by the removal of the infamous tax on light and air, and the balance may afford some little relief by being spread over other obnoxious imposts, such as the charges on knowledge and clean liness, &c. ; but to render the aid absolutely required by the people, the pruning knife must be freely and unsparingly applied to all useless and unne cessary outlay. To use Mr. MACGREGOR'S own words, he has " too holy a reverence for our national credit; and the maintenance of trar,- quillity and order in our houses, streets, highways, and fields, and peace with all the world," to risk these inestimable blessings by the abolition of any tax whatsoever,- at the expense of that honour, secu rity, and peace. On close examination, however, he finds that the expenditure which, for the year ending the sth of January, 1850, reached the enormous sum of 55,481,6581., may be safely diminished to 49,180,000 L, being a saving of 6,301,6581., and he states the various beads under which these reduc. tions can be effected, all of which he empha tically declares himself able to prove to be "practicable and equitable." We must, however, refer our readers to the document itself on these poins—the sale or demising of the Woods and Forests, the reduction of the army expenditure, and the im- mediate breaking up of the establishments at Dept ford, Chatham, and Pembroke, are particularly worthy of notice. With respect to the fiscal changes that would then be practicable, Mr. MACGREGOR would send all the assessed taxes (except the unredeemed land-tax) to the limbo to which the window duties are already consigned. He would also abolish the hop duty, the paper duty, the railway passengers' tax, the soap duty, reduce the malt-tax 25 per cent., and modify the duties on licences, so as . to render them more equitable and less onerous to the payers. The stamp duties he would also re-arrange, excluding the duties on marine THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The (fibril of the new Minister of Justice, M. DE ROYER, in the Assembly on Monday, is universally regarded as most successful, and he is complimented thereupon in many of the journals: the defeat of the Burgraves is considered complete and decisive. An attempt in the Assembly yesterday to inflict a heavy blow on M. BAROCHE completely failed. The busi ness before the Assembly was the discussion of a Bill requiring an additional credit of 500,000 f. for various expenditures incurred by the. Ministry of the Interior in 1850. M. NOEL PARFAIT observed that in that sum figured an item of 160,000 f. for works executed in the citadel of Belle Isle, for the accommodation of politi• cal prisoners. That sum had been expended without any authorization of the Assembly, and, to give a lesson to future Ministers, he moved a reduction of 10,000 f. in the credit.--(Murmurs on the Right.) M. BAROCHE, former Minister of the Interior, re gretted that the works had been executed d'urgence by the military engineers, under the control of his colleague of the War Department, in virtue of a de cree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, which con verted the citadel of Belle Isle into a prison fur political offenders. After some further conversation, the reduction was put from the chair, and rejected by an immense ma jority. M. BAZB was the only member of the Right who voted with the Mountain against the late Minister. The entire Bill was next adopted by 463 to 191. The Five per Cents. went up in the Passage de l'Opera to 95f. 55c. on Monday, in consequence of the Ministerial victory in the Assembly. The Bourse was more than usually animated, and a considerable rise took place in the price of public secu rities. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 75c., and rose to 961. 20c., at which they closed; the Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 80c.; the New Loan at 961.

THE SUN, b e itninit alms - -- LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 185 Additional efforts should unquestionably be made in furtherance of the scheme of metropolitan sanitary improvement prior to the opening of this year's In dustrial Exhibition, The extraordinary influx of foreigners into the capital during the summer months cannot fail to enhance, in a remarkable de gree, the necessity for changes of this particular cha racter. As yet, however, no alterations of this description have been anywhere commenced, and unless a very speedy movement for the close of this indifference be adventured upon, the inhabitants of London and Westminster must take the conequenc€ s Let it be remembered, in regard to this rather important subject, that not only will the visi tors to the Crystal Palace flock hither from the European continent, and more or less from the four quarters of the globe, but an immense number will arrive in the metropolis, collected together in this particular spot from the adjacent shires, and in a great measure also from all parts of the United Kingdom. Country folks who have never seen the great city, except in the fantastic visions of their imagination, will hasten up to town during the en suing season, for the purpose of at length gratifying their curiosity. Several thousands—it has even been calculated by some that, possibly, another million— will swell the teeming mass of our population. Under any circumstances a sufficiently large in crease will inevitably take place to justify, and not only to justify, but absolutely to require the em ployment of additional means far the orderly arrange ment and purification of the capital. Unless some such supplementary exertion in this direction be at tempted the results must infallibly prove most per nicious. All the existing provocatives of epidemic diseases must be multiplied, and at the same time be strengthened in their virulence. The causes of malaria, that subtle agent of mortality, must per. force be enlarged and rendered more than ever de structive. To imagine otherwise would be to doubt the primary laws of Nature. It behoves those entrusted with the direction of the affairs of the metropolis to take these truths into their consideration betimes, so that the danger may not be discovered only at the moment of its arrival, and when preparatory mea sures will be altogether impracticable. Even sup posing that the exertions we allude to were to be discontinued at the close of the Exhibition, they should be made at any rate for the time, with a view to their temporary application. Abandon the good afterwards, if you will, but enable London to rejoice under its securing influence at the least during the period of this approaching human inundation. We say this with the less compunction from a confidence in the force of experience. We are so fully satisfied that the advantages arising out of the proposed im provements will be too perceptible to admit of their abandonment when once they have been tried and recognized. Just as easily could we imagine the re-imposition of the detestable impost on corn, now that the Protective system has been abrogated, as that the old filthy habits of the past should be revived when once the multitude had observed the benefits of sani tary innovation. Though nothing else were attempted in the way of forwarding the views of our sanitary reformers, we would at any rate witness the employment of some ' stringent rules for the carrying out of the Act passed last session through both Houses of Parliament for the establishment of the scheme of extramural interment. Hitherto that law has been nothing more than a dead letter ; hitherto the hopes of those who had foolishly counted upon the measure as a boon have only been miserably disappointed. Now, at least, we would wit ness the enforcement to some extent, however small, comparatively speaking, of the regulations faintly marked in the enactment. We would ob serve the tardy but final closing up of those pits of abomination—the intermural burial-grounds of the metropolis of Great Britain. Looking forward to the time which will very speedily have arrived, we would see no more dead bodies crowded into those hideous nests of corruption, to decay in the midst of the abodes of the living, and diffuse a terrible poi: on through the atmosphere. Except these preventive efforts be made, and that speedily, the churchyards of London must, with the advance of the warm weather and the arrival of many thousands of visitors to the Exhibition, become more than ever what they have already been desig nated with a frightful significance—the manufac tories of disease. Fever and contagious maladies of all imaginable kinds have been germinated by them even under ordinary circumstances. Under the extraordinary circumstances to which we are endeavouring to direct general attention, they cannot but prove themselves doubly and trebly the cause as well as the recipients of mor tality. In speaking thus we are not indulging in lugubrious anticipations of a merely fanciful and conjectural character, we are only looking forward to the certain consequence of the remissness against which we are inveighing. We are striving to warn the authorities before it be too late of the inevitable results of-their indolence. Let precautions of a very moderate and very practicable kind be only adven tured upon with alacrity, and the good derived from them will be amply compensative. No reproachful feelings will weigh down upon the national conscience of England when the Exhibition has become a thing of the past, to be thought only of retrospec tively. We shall remember then that the people flocked to our metropolis from the different countries i n ty o t a ti m d e r i e n ly d u t s h tr e y ac o - f of the habitable gl o o f be th t e o witness cumulate d mankind, but kteon observe, moreover, i n a ddi t i on to the s treasures arrayed under cover of the Crystal Palace, the sign s o f ou r own perceptible advancement. All these gratifying remembrances may be secured to us by adopting a few of the precautions already particu larised, but without these we fear that the record of 1851 will be marred with many remorseful conside rations.

It seems by no means improbable that there will be a diplomatic rupture. The trial of the ringleaders in the Wirtemburg in. surrection commenced at Stutgardt on the 21st. II will probably last two months, as there are 235 wit. nesses to be examined. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE.—The Utrecht Courant says that the Minister of War has given orders for a revision of the national defences.—Journal du Commerce d'An vers. BELGIUM. Bausstr.s, JAN. 26.—The Ministerial crisis con tinues. In the sitting of the Chambers a member in terrogated the Minister of the Interior as to how long the provisional arrangement for the budget of war was to be continued. The Minister evaded the question by replying that provisional arrangements of this nature were by no means unusual.—Journal du Com merce d' Anvers, Jan. 27. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Austrian troops were to enter Hamburgh on Tuesday. It is stated in a Holstein paper that Count RE VENTLOW will be placed in the position of Stadtholder of that Duchy, with a Ministry composed of Baron Charles von Plessen, Count Moltke, Grunvvilz, Count Reventlow-Farve, Baron Blohme, and a few neutral men as Councillors of State. The legislative decrees of the Statthaltershaft will be withdrawn, and the status ante returned to. A Provincial Diet is then to be assembled, from which a commission is to be selected for the purpose of drawing up a Constitution. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURGH, .TAN. 17.—An Imperial ukase of the 6th prohibits the expo r t a ti on o f s il ver, w h ether in coin or in Russian or Polish ingots. TURKEY. - - CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 9.—The Steam Navigation Company has decided upon the issue of 500 additional shares, and has given orders for the building of eight large steamers in England for the navigation of the Bosphorus. The Island of Samoa is declared in a state of blockade by the Turks. ITALY. The Risosigimento of the 24th inst. announces that the Chamber of Deputies of Sardinia adopted the day before by 109 to 34, the t reaty of commerce lately , concluded with France, and, by 99 to 43, the conven tion relative to literary property. The Tuscan Government has refused to allow the Marquis of RIDoLFI to publish a journal which was to have been entitled " 12th of April, 1849." AMATEUR PERFORMANCE AT THE SOHO THEATRE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF Miss KELLY. —We understand that the talented amateur company, whose admirable performance at the Soho Theatre, on the 14th inst., of Mrs. Centlivre's comedy of the Busy Body, and Richard Jones's farce of Too Late for Dinner, was honoured by the distinguished approbation of the elite of the fashionable and literary world, intend to repeat those performances, at the same theatre, on the 11th of Febpary, for the bene fit of Miss Kelly, w h en we have no doubt the friends and admirers of that admirable actress will support the efforts which these gentlemen and ladies are making for the benefit of one whose transcendent talents in former and happier days were the admiration and delight of every lover of the drama. The treasurer is Mr, C. W. Kent, of 112, Strand, the author nr the vat . s, prologue end opiinguo, which were spoken OA the occasion of the last performance, and which will be repeated on the 11th. DRAMATIC INSTITUTION, GOUGH-STREET.—Last evening the members of the society called the "Old Western Dramatics," gave their sixth amateur performance at this institution, the evening's entertainment consisting of Moore's tragedy of the Gamester and the comedy of the Heir at Law. The whole of the parts, speaking generally, were well sus tained; but especial mention must be made of the excellent manner in which Miss Blanchard sustained the arduous character of Mrs. Beverley. The part is one of much deli cacy of shadin g , and, consequently, very difficult of per formance ; but Miss Blanchard's impersonation was a m os t sweet and wom an l y performance. Mr. C. Wilson, as Bever ley, acquitted hi mself exceedingly well; he gave a mo s t pas sionate and yet truthful impersonation of the part. In the comedy Miss Roughtledge sustained the part of Cicely Homespun very excellently; she looked as pretty as she played the part." PATENT -LAW REFORM.—The committee appointed by the council of the Society of Arts held their ninth meet ing on Saturday. The following resolution was agreed to by the committee with regard to the importation of inven tions :—" That the importation of any patented invention practised abroad shall not confer a title of registration, ex cept in the cases of the proprietors or inventors, within twelve months from the date of the foreign patent ; and that no invention of which the patent has expired in any foreign country, or which has teen published for a period of twelve months in any foreign country, or which is in free public use in any foreign country, shall be capable of being regis tered in the United Kingdom." NEW RIVER COMPANY.—The standing orders were complied with yesterday in the case of this Bill, to enable the governor and company to improve the course of the New River, and to construct additional reservoirs and other works for the better supply of the metropolis with water. The works proposed to be authorised are new cuts between Hertford, Cheshunt, and Stoke Newington, and ter minating at the aqueduct of the New River over the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway at Islington; a reservoir near Clayhill Farm-house, Totten- MANSLAUGHTER BY A GAMBLER. —The adjourned ham, and another commencing at Newington, to terminate inquest on John Clark, who, as stated in our last, was killed at Hi4hbury Vale, Hornsey, with waterworks to pass by a blow from Elisha Leveridge, at Stourbridge, was held t h roug h Hertford, Little and Great Amwell, Hoddesdon, on Friday. Leveridge still remained at large. It appeared Broxbourne, Wormley, Cheshunt, Enfield, Edmonton, Horn in the evidence that Leveridge , who went by the nickname sey, Stoke Newington, and Islington. The opposition was of " Lasher, " had been considerably irritated against the withdrawn.

It was contended that the Winding -up Act was found upon him ; but the lads still per . srs m he had i de a - • great passion, struck Clark as abov e intoxicated, directed the Master to allow to creditors the costs justly in some money, and that they had but ceased and "Lasher" were somewhat k knew correct in proving their debts, and in this construction of what they were doing. Ur.

This admirable project is now fairly before the people, let it be examined closely in all its details, and when it is fully understood let the people speak out boldly and manfully, and demand that attention from the Legislature to which they are justly entitled, and which they have the power of enforcing.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were e , ti. mated at 2,500 bales. The market was quiet at previ. ous rates.—Railway Shares were rather firm. The market for grain is firm, but the full supplies 01 foreign IV htat have counteracted the effect of the smal: arrival of English. The rates for bills of exchange improved here yester day afternoon, except on Paris. The advices from the Continent are more satisfactory. At Amsterdam on the 27th inst. the price of Dutch Two and-a-Ilalf per Cents. was 57*. Spanish barely so good. At Paris the feeling yesterday, as described in the letters just to hand, was decidedly more en couraging, and the advance in the Rentes illustrates this. The 7 rihune, the great Protectionist organ in New York, thus speaks of the favourable prospects of the Free-traders : "We have already chronicled the forming of a ' Free Trade Association.' The avowed object of this nucleus was the establishment of absolute freedom of importation without any check, impost, or limitation whatever. Another and more formidable movement has recently been commenced, which has boding tendencies in common with the foregoing, but is rather more practical in its aims, and is probably destined to become immediately , and palpably potential. It is in effect a secret organiza tion of the tree-trade importers, shippers, agents of fo reign manufacturers, &c., in our city, to accomplish the nomination of the Hon. Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi (slr. Polk's Secretary of the Treasury, and the main architect of the present tariff), as the next 'Democratic' candidate for the President, placing ' the party' on the distinct and unequivocal Free.trade' grounds, and the securing its triumph at the election of 1852. This movement has been backed by a subscription of over 200,000 dollars, which can be easily raised here and in other commercial ports on both sides of the Atlantic to a plump million. Should that amount be promptly made up and judiciously used, we think the success of the project, so far as the denomination is concerned, might be anticipated with confidence." There is no probability of the Bank of England ad vancieg the rate of discount to-morrow. Money is scarcely worth 25 to 24 on best bills, and the private bankers and brokers are over suppled. The English Stock Market has been looking up, al though business continues to be very cautiously con ducted. The advance in the Rentes at Paris, amounting to nearly 1 per cent., has not been without its influence; but, except, on behalf of the Commissioners for the Reduc tion of the National Debt, there have been no money pur chases of importance, This inactivity is not expected to continue. Consols are 965 4 for Transfer, and 964 7 1 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 984 to 99. Bank St, ck is steady at 2141, and India Stock at 266. Exchequer-bills are 58s. to 61s. premium, and India Bonds 68s. premium. The Foreign Market is buoyant, and some of the speculative securities are i❑ increased favour. Mexican Bonds have risen to 334 4, and there is a belief that the next packet will bring interesting and favourable news with a good remittance. The creditors of Spain, like wise, are in better heart, and much confidence is expressed in the probability of some arrange ment of the debt. The Five per Cent. Bonds are 185 4; and the Three per Cents. 184. Peruvian Four-and-a Half per Cents. have realized 785. Equador Stock is 34 4; Grenada, 17 to i; and Venezuela, 30.
