In virtue of a decision of the Minister of Finance the interest on Treasury Bonds is fixed as follows, after the 12th of September per cent. on bonds of from three to five months' date ; 3 per cent. on bonds of from six to eleven months ; and 31 per cent. on bonds of one year. The ilfoititeur publishes an Imperial decree pro visionally exempting foreign vessels importing iron ores into France from the payment of the sur charge required by the decree of the 17th March, 1853, from foreign vessels laden with ores of every description, During his residence at Dieppe, the Emperor appointed a Commission to examinee d submit to him the improvements of whit: tharbour was susceptible. His Majesty appro 7ed of the plan proposed by that Commission, am.. ordered the works to be immediately commenced. They are to be completed in three years, and to cos t 1, 300,0"' , s tar of On the 29th June last, James Thorpe, n the English fishing sloop Wilber force, saved and landed at Hull the crew of the brig La Francois:', of Agde, whom he met at sea just as the vessel was sinking. Wishing to reward the generous conduct of that seaman, the Emperor, by a decree of the 27th August last, has granted him a silver medal of honour of the first class. The ball offered to the Emperor and the Empress on Thursday night at Dieppe was given in the theatre. In front of the stage a throne was erected, under a canopy of crimson velvet and gold, the whole being surmounted with a gilt eagle. On the white satin which covered the back of the Imperial seats were to be seen the initials E. N. The pit was boarded over and the whole house was orna mented with flowers, draperies, mirrors, and thou sands of lights. The company had already assem bled, when about nine o'clock cries of " Vive l'Em pereur" from the outside announced the arrival of their Majesties. A similar greeting awaited them within the house, as they took their places in the chairs of state. The Emperor was in the dress of a general of the army, and the Empress was simply dressed in white. Their Majesties were received at the entrance to the theatre by the Mayor and Municipal Council. All the public functionaries and the officers of the Imperial household were in full uniform. Dancing commenced immediately after the arrival of their Majesties, the Emperor taking for partner Mme. Sellier, the wife of the Mayor, and her husband dancing with the Em press. Their Majesties afterwards walked several times round the theatre, and withdrew about eleven o'clock. Dancing was continued with un abated spirit afterwards, until about four in the morning. The Emperor and Empress left Dieppe at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and arrived at St. Cloud at six. Their Majesties were said to be in excellent health. " It is stated," says the Patric, " that a grand fete will take place ix the camp at Satory on the 16th inst., being the day of Sainte Eugenie." The Debats of Saturday says that on September 3, when the last news was received from St. Peters burgh, no one then knew what would be the deci sion of the Emperor Nicholas relative to the modi fications which the Porte had made in the proposi tion prepared at Vienna, and which Russia had accepted. It adds, however, that this is not extra ordinary, as the dispatches stating whether the Emperor Nicholas adheres to the modifications or refuses them would most likely not be sent to Vienna, Paris, and London until Saturday, the 10th, when the ordinary packet leaves St. Peters burgh with letters. That vessel will arrive at Stettin on Tuesday next, the 13th ; but it is not impossible that the intelligence brought by that vessel will be anticipated by ex traordinary couriers or by the electric telegraph. As to the state of feeling on the subject at St. Petersburg and Vienna, at the date of the last advices, the same journal says :—" In general, regret was felt that the Porte had not given its unmodified adhesion to the proposition sent in, because that course would have had the advantage of at once closing the incident, which the proposed modifications will prolong and perhaps complicate. The persons who anticipate the refusal of the Emperor Nicholas, form their opinion on the cir cumstance that that Sovereign, when he informed the Cabinet of Vienna of his acceptance to the note, declared formally that if the Porte did not give its unmodified consent without any alteration whatever, his adhesion to the proposition must be considered as not to have been given. But, on the other hand, it is. observed that the modifications proposed by the Porte are not of any real import ance ; and since the Emperor Nicholas has ad mitted the good offices of Austria, who acts in concert with England, France, and Prussia, it appears unlikely that he will, by a refusal, lead to new and grave complications. However, the Cabinet of Vienna, even in receiving the refusal of the Emperor, will undoubtedly not renounce the employment of diplomatic means. Although the basis of the negotiation are no longer absolutely the same, we are of opinion that the negotiation will not be broken of, and we persist in believing in a pacific solution of the question." RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A letter from Vienna of Sept. 4, in the German, Journal of Frankfort, says :—" We can positively affirm that Baron de Meyendorff has declared that no apprehensions need be entertained of the Em peror Nicholas assigning to the modifications intro duced by the Divan in the note emanating from Vienna an importance likely to throw any obstacle in the way of a pacific solution of the Eastern ques tion. He has added that the Emperor would pro pose to regulate directly the disputed points by means of negotiations at St. Petersburg. The eva cuation of the Danubian Principalities is to take P lace ? it is said, as soon as the parties have agreed on the essential points. The Fresse of Vienna, of the 6th, states that on the preceding day, Colonel Ruff had an audience of the Emperor of Austria, to deliver to his Majesty a letter of thanks from the Sultan. The Inclepen,dance of Brussels (fives the follow ing extract of a letter of the Belgian Consul at Odessa, dated the 26th ult. :—" The harvest in this part of Russia is generally abundant, so that we soon expect to have considerable arrivals, which have, in fact, already commenced : the new corn is remarkable for its quality and weight. Business in wool is very slack, which is the general consequence of large operations in corn. There is still a great want of vessels, and freights have more than doubled." It was stated some time ago, in the Journal de C o nstantinople, that in the aucasus the Russian troops had been defeated with a very heavy loss. The Borsenhalle of Hamburgh states, from War saw, that the Circassians had made a very warm attack upon the invading force, but that they had been repulsed, and had lost 800 men, whilst the Russians had only one man killed and nine wounded. This statement is probably quite as in correct on one side as that of the Journal de Con stantinople on the other. AUSTRIA. --- A telegraphic me - isage from Vienna states :—The crown of Hungary, and the rest of the insignia of Hungarian royalty, which were lost after the in surrection, have been found at Orsova. SPAIN. A letter from La Granja states that, in conse quence of the notice taken by the Cabinet Council of the contract entered. into by the Minister of Marine relative to the supply of coals to the steamers plying between London and Manila, the Minister, after a sharp discussion with his col leagues, declared that he would resign ; and, as he subsequently left for Madrid, it was not doubted that his resignation was certain. It was not known who would be his successor, but several names were put forward. This resignation, it is added, will not affect the rest of the Cabinet or it s p o licy. M.

The Customs receipts for August last exhibited an augmentation of upwards of 1,500,000 reals, as compared with those of the corresponding month of 1852. It was hoped that the deficit of 8,000,000, which exists in that branch of revenue, will be covered by the increase d receipts of the five re maining months of 1853. The Barcelona Customs will produce this year nearly 40,000,000 of reals. There is also a marked improvement in those of Malaga. The receipts at Santander have fallen off, no doubt on account of the redu ction in some im port duties. The Three per Cents. were done at 441 ; the New Three per Cents. at 23i ; the Debt o f the First Class at 10a ; and that of the Second at 51.

A letter from Rome, of the 31st ult., states that, in connexion with the recent plot, two boxes con taining ms have been seized in the house of a druggist named Lefort, who has taken to flight ; and that a priest named Raffael, two brothers named Segnali, and an engineer named Rumiti, have been arrested. In the residence of Rumiti, it is added, a plan for the execution of the plot was discovered. The new regulations relative to the state of siege in the Lombarde-Venetian kingdom are to come into force from the Ist of October. A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., states that 22 persons, amongst whom is the ex-inister Ruggieri, have been condemned to death by de fault, for participation in the events of the 15th May, 1848 ; and that 15 other accused have been condemned to hard labour, and three others to banishment for the same affair. Thirty others vipre tried, but acquitted. THE MEDITERRANEAN. ---~ ~-. _ SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. —The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan arrived this morning (off intercolonial duties), from Smyrna, Malta, and Gibraltar, bringing with her only two passengers—viz., Captain Gardiner, son of the governor of Gibraltar, and le Baron de Marchand. In freight the Sultan had 366 bales sheep's wool, 22 ditto carpets, 59 chests of opium, 64 cases of sponge, 56 bales skins, 3 cases gum, l9 drums scammony, 3 tubs leeches, 2 cases otto of roses, and 2 ditto melons.

A letter from Athens of the 26th of August says :—" The day before yesterday the Ministers gave official information to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, of the resolution of the conference of London relative to the order of succession to the throne. Official reports prove the harvest this year in Greece to be one third less than in pre ceding years." SWITZERLAND. From Basle, Sept. 8, we learn that by decree of the Federal Council, the Italian refugees Clementi and Cazzola have been expelled from Switzerland. These persons have been convicted of having sup plied arms to the Lombard insurgents, and of having been in the closest connexion with Mazzim. BELGIUM. The Indepoulance of Brussels gives a formal contradiction to the statement that Queen Victoria is about to visit Belgium. The King and Royal family of Belgium have re turned to Brussels from Liege, where their recep tion was, if possible, even more enthusiastic than in the other towns which they had visited since the marriage of the Duke of Brabant. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY AFTERNOON. By the Royal mail steamer America we have advices from New York to the 30th, and Boston to the 31st ult. The America has brought 79 passengers, among whom are the Earl of Elgin, Lady Elgin, and three children. She has also brought 127,569 dols. in specie on freight. The steamship Europa, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston on the 31st ult. There was nothing of importance from Washing ton. No definite settlement had, as yet, been come to with regard to the mission to France. The yellow fever still continued in all its viru lence at New Orleans. The number of deaths from it for the week ending the 27th of August, was 1,365 ; and for the three weeks ending on that date, 3,669. Tlie steamer Georgia had arrived at New York from Aspinwall with 1,550,000 dols. in gold dust on freight. The Georgia brought the last advices from Chili, Peru, and Bolivia. The British barque Fortune had arrived at Val paraiso, from Sydney, in 45 days. The British barque Acacia had arrived at Val. paraiso from Hartlepool, with the crew of the French barque Robert Surcroft, bound to Califor nia, and lost off Cape Horn. The Pacific Steani Navigation Company's Royal mail steamer Quito had been totally lost on the 10th of July, by striking on a rock near Huasco. The letter bags and a portion of the silver were saved. Sixteen bars of silver, which were shipped at Copiapo, were lost. One person only is reported to have been drowned ; his name was Don Cruz Tobar. The Quito's bottom was completely torn out by the force with which she struck on the rocks. From Chili we learn that the Executive and Congress were zealously employed working out plans for the improvement of the country and the development of its resorces. The country in ge neral was in a very tranquil state. From Peru we learn that the difficulties between that country and Bolivia remained in, statu quo. No actual conflict had occurred between the forces of the two nations. Punta Arenas advices of the 20th ult. state that business was very dull in Costa Rica, and great difficulty was experienced in procuring cargoes. Coffee was selling at 10 dols, per quintal. The Go vernment of Costa Rica had it in contemplation to close the port of Punta Arenas, and establish another in its stead at a more northernly point, as being more convenient for the commerce of the Republic. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 9th ult. are devoid of interest. The black vomit was pre vailing at Acapulco ; many deaths had occurred. General Manuel Vallida had died of the disease. Telegraphic accounts from St. Louis of August 29th state that Mexican troops were approaching El Pase, intending to keep possession of Mesilla \Talley, where the Mexican flag was waving. The Mexican troops were deserting ; and one thing ap peared certain—that should hostilities break out, the majority of the inhabitants of New Mexico would lean to the United States. There was less animation in the New York stock market. Erie Railroad shares had declined 4 to 1 ; New York Central Railroad, ; and Haarlem Rail road, to 1. No alteration in the money-market. Foreign exchange firm and in good demand. London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris, 5 13i to 5 15 ; Am sterdam, 404 to 41k ; Frankfort, 40/ to 40i ; Ant werp, 5 15 to 5 171. Cotton in better request, but without alteration in price. Flour in good demand at advancing prices. Wheat in good demand at 134 c. for Genessee white ; 130 c. for Michigan ; and 120 c. per bushel for Ohio red. Indian corn was selling at a slight advance. Provisions without alteration. A limited business had been transacted in Scotch pi g iron at $34 to $35 per ton, six months. Freights to London.-!—Tobacco, 275. to 30s. per hhd. ; flour, 3s. to 3s. 3d. per barrel; measurement goods, 255. to 30s. per ton ; heavy goods, oil, &c., 325. kid. to 355. per ton. From Bolivia we learn that Senor Aguirre had been appointed Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Senor Bustillo, who has resigned. The steamer Uncle Sam had arrived at Panama from New York ; on her passage thither she boarded Lady Franklin's vessel the Isabel, and found all well on board. The British mail steamer Bolivia arrived at Panama on the sth of August from Callao, with $130,000 in silver bullion. Her Majesty's sloop of war Thetis, had arrived at Panama from San Blas, on her way to England, with $244,000 in specie on freight. Montreal advices of the 29th ult. state that the mayor of that city, the Hon. Charles Wilson, had been arrested by the Vigilance Committee, and held to bail in the sum of $B,OOO to appear on the 14th of October next at the Criminal Court of Queen's Bench on the charge of murder during the Gavazzi riots on the 9th of July. Three more of the rioters had been arrested. By arrival at Liverpool of the ship Columbus we have received late advices from the Brazils ; from Bahia the news was very unimportant beyond the gratifying intelligence that the fever was rapidly subsiding, and that very few cases existed, freights, 575. 6d. to 60s. to England. Exchange.-21d. From Pernambuco we learn that the Royal mail steamer Great Western arrived there after a pas sage of 23 days from Southampton. Freights continued exceedingly dull, there being only a trifling quantity of sugar in the port, for which prices were nominal. Cotton was quoted at 6,200 reis to 6,300 reis per arroba. Exchange.-28 to 28- at Pernambuco, and 28 at Rio Jalleiro. AMERICAN SHIPPING.

On Saturday morning last Poplar was visited by a fire which, in the course of a few hours, laid in ruins property roughly estimated in value at upwards of 100,0001. sterling, besides throwing out of employment several hundred workmen. The scene of this misfortune was the extensive iron steam-ship giall, wi p t g hin to a A sh i n es r s t r dta sieJ.nSece ofott Russell, the Poplar railway station. The fire was discovered by a n and Co., manufactory at m i belonging w a police officer on duty in the neighbourhood, and by the watchman employed on the premises. An alarm was raised, and several of the men hastened to the spot to render assistance, but, notwithstanding their exer tions,be confined to one particular building, made fearful the flames, which it was at fi r st expected would pro gress, and very speedily extended to the floors above. The stock contained there proved such a powerful aux iliary that the fire spread in four directions, igniting in succession the erecting shops and the long range of carpenters' and painters' worksh)ps. The powerful engine belonging to the firm was at once got out and set to work, but the water thrown by one engine made not the least impression upon the fire, which quickly broke through the roof. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the fire brigade ; Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D section of the establish ment ; Mr. Fogo, the head officer of the A district ; and Mr. Connorton, the foreman of the West of England office, were all hurrying with their engines as fast as possible, as they supposed, towards the seat of the calamity. Unfortunately the light of the fire deceived them, and, instead of taking the Middlesex side of the river, they crossed the bridges, and proceeded at full speed towards Deptford Dockyard ; but on reaching that establishment the firemen, for the first time, as certained where the fire was raging, and the engines had to be turned back and cross London-bridge. The powerful steamfloat, at Southwark-bridge was sent down the river as fast as possible, and thereby reached the place almost as soon as some of the land engines which had taken the wrong side of the water. The floating engine belonging to her Majesty, for the pro tection of the dockyard at Deptford, was also brought across the Thames and set to work, an d also the lower float of the fire brigade from Roth er hith e s t a tion. The whole of the land engines present (10 i n n umber) and that of the West of England Co m p any were lik e wise set to work from a bountiful supply o f water f urn i s hed by the East London Company's mines but in spite of their exertions, the work of desolation con tinued, and the smithy, containing a numb er o f forge 3, cut ti ng a nd worthploughing 2, 000, I machines and tworkedthe by steau carpenters' cutting • , a building nearly 90 feet long b y 25 feet broa d , b eca me enveloped in one immense sh ee t o f flame. From th e se premises the flames seized up on a l ofty stac k o f h e avy timbers, used principally for constructi ng the docks and internal fittings of the iron ship s . estimated department, tto b be which had been blowing fresh all the night, h a d by this time greatly increased: The firemen tried all that was possible to prevent the flames communicating with the pattern lofts, the mould lofts, and the coal sheds, b u t w i thout success : an d i n a brief period the whole of th ese premises, com posed of brick and timber, considerably over 150 feet long, nearly 100 feet broad, and three stories high, filled with ar ticles of great value, were wrapped in fire, which com municated with a spac:ous timber building belonging to Messrs. Napier, the steam eng i ne manufacturers, ad doinino• the west side of Mes srs. R ussell ' s sh i pyar d. The firemen, upon finding that there was every proba bility of the whole of Messrs. N a pi er ' s premises also falling a prey to the fury of the flames, brought all their force to bear upon the building that had just taken fire, and by great perseverence succeeded in preventing the spread of the flames in that direction • but the building itself, which was of great extent, an d used as erecting, polishing, and fitting - up shop s , was l eve ll e d with the ground and the valuable contents d estro y e d. By 3 o'clock the whole of the fitti ng - u p and erecting shops of Messrs. Russell were burnin g f r om the base to the roof, and the heat was so intense that the firemen were frequently exposed to imminent danger. Two splendid iron ships built for the North of Europe General Steam Navigation Company, each 600 tons burden, one of which was intended to be launched on Saturday next, were also exposed to such an intense heat that their bows have bulged while lying on the slips. A vast amount of property that was in the mould lofts has likewise been destroyed, and the destruction of pat terns, among which were those of the intended largest ship in the world, to be built by the firm for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, has been most disastrous. Fortunately the premises on the opposite side of the yard, although much scorched, are not destroyed, and it is understood that business will not be entirely sus pended. Throughout yesterday many thousand persons flocked to the spot for the purpose of inspecting the ruins, and it required the services of a strong body of police to keep them out of danger. The damage done is thus officially reported :—The erecting shops, the fitting-up shops, the carpenters' and moulders' shops, the smithy, destroyed ; the stores, sheds, and contents severely damaged by fire, and the heads of two iron steam-ships on the stocks damaged by fire. The erecting houses, pattern shops, mould lofts, the carpen ters' shops, the smithy, the engine and boiler house, and the tool warehouses, the steam-engine house, the boilers and machinery therein, the stock and utensils in trade, killed of the whil e p y t r e conflagra tion. the painters' shops, the stock and ut en sils in trade, with the vessels on the slips, were insure d i n the Sun, Atlas, Globe, Phoenix, and West of Englan d offices to th e ex tent of 90,0001. fire, proceeding o A c l ea t e h db o io u nd g gy h wo n ift o h thelitvhefieirsr ewe brigadeen r g e in lo e s duringitnwseelae n rche t a h orf e l raging tion. As the horses were galloping with their engine through the Borough they ran into a hole eight feet deep in the middle of the road, which broke the forecarriage of the engine, forced the driver off his box, and pitched the firemen off the machine. Hambleton, the engineer, and the firemen, together with the driver, were all much shaken and bruised, but fortunately no limbs were broken. The engine was so much disabled as to be un able to proceed to the fire, and it was in consequence taken back to its station in the Waterloo-road. A very strict investigation has been made by the bri gade authorities, and also by Messrs. Russell, for the purpose of ascertaining how the fire occurred, but no thing satisfactory could be elicited. Such an extensive fire has not taken place in the neighbourhood for several years. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 10.—The British and North American mail steam-ship Africa, Harrison, commander, took her departure hence for Halifax and Boston, at 1.30 p.m. to-day, with 150 passengers on board, besides a very full cargo—as much as she could carry—and the usual mails. DONATION TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. —Messrs. Bass and Co., the celebrated pale ale brewer s of Burton-on-Trent, have just contributed one hundred guineas to the Licensed Victuallers School, in addition to very handsome donations which they have made on several former occasions, for the support of this excel lent institution. !Aberdeen . i!Ambg.

The following evidence was adduced before the coro ner's jury, after we closed up our report of the proceed. ings in our first edition on Saturday : William Shrimplin, carpenter, recalled. In answer to the coroner and jury he deposed—l have been en gaged on these works for the last eight weeks as a car penter and joiner. lam in the employ of Mr. Lucas, and was ordered to put up two shores by Mr. Abra hams, who is the surveyor to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. Mr. Abrahams said he would wish to have everything safe. After that, Mr. Rowe came and I took my orders from him. He told me that Mr. Abra hams had ordered some more shores to be put up, and we put up three more double shores. The first two were at the end of the house—the end nearest the Strand. They were about 10 feet apart. The top shore was 40 feet ,long, and the lower one about 30 feet. There were altogether five double shores and three single ones, and they were all about 10 or 12 feet apart. The first were put up about six weeks ago, and the last three about three weeks ago. The tim ber used, in my judgment, was sound, solid, good timber, suited to the purpose. I have been a carpenter, and joiner all my life, and have had considerable experience in framing of different kinds, and the nature of the shoring required for such purposes. lam quite satisfied that the shores were sufficient. The wall was about 50 feet high. From the base of the wall to the foot of the shore was 14 or 15 feet, so that the shores, which were 30 feet long would reach up the wall about 25 feet, and those which were 40 feet long would reach up about 36 feet. Above the shores, therefore, there was about 16 or 20 feet of wall. I thought that the shoring was quite sufficient for such a wall. I needle my shores, not through the wall, but about six or seven inches into fhe wall, having a cross plank to receive them of 9-inch deal, by three inches, by 14 feet. The wall was very tender. It was an old wall, and the mortar didnot appear to have mach strength. I think it would not have been desirable, therefore,to needle the shores througl ' the wall. I apprehended no danger myself, not a bit, or I should not have been at work under the wall. I was at work under the wall, within two or three yards of it, when I heard the crack and it fell, Mr. Rowe was these also also. We both ran, but he stumbled and fell. When I heard the crack I looked up and saw the wall sinking. It fell out about 12 feet from the top, and then it all came down together. We had dug down below the footings of the house, about 13 inches in one or two places. We thought the shores sufficient, and I found that my shore stood to the last, until they cracked by the weight of the falling house. We bad shores at the back end of the house towards the short wall that cracked, some part of which fell on Tuesday. About a cartload of that wall fell on Tuesday, but it was not con nected with the house, and we made it all secure. I put in solid wedges to prevent the shores from shifting. A Juror—Do you think that those 18-inch holes that you have mentioned had the effect of weakening the wall ! _ _ Witness—l don't know that it weakened it much. I should certainly say that it " wouldn't do it no good." The Juror. At whose direction did you dig those trenches? Witness—At Mr. Rowe's. We did not dig under neath the foundations of Mr. Thompson's house. Ido not know the district surveyor, and am not aware whether he has seen the property lately. I have not, to my knowledge, seen the district surveyor upon the pre mises at all. By Mr. Bodkin —There had been some houses re moved and the materials t a k en away, and upon the site of those premises the new ones were being built. Having placed a hoarding round, we proceeded to do the first thing essential in building, which is to dig for the foundations. When we did that against the party-wall of the house that has fallen, we found that in some places the wall did not come down so low as we had dug. That was the case in one or two places, but in other parts the wall did come down, and stood beneath our excavations. Where it did come down to that extent we put in jack-shores to carry that part where the foundation of the party-wall did not come down to our excavations. I was up on the roof of the next house, No. 184, three days before the accident, with a plumb-line. I held the plumb bob and Mr. Rowe stood below, and we found that the wall was not above an inch or two out of the upright. Mr. Rowe was quite satisfied, and said there was no danger. Mr. Abrahams came constantly to see the progress of the works, and I never heard him express any fear of their safety. I never heard him say that the shoring was not safe, and he made no complaints. Mr. Rowe was a man of great experience, and was considered a clever man in the trade. We had orders both from Mr. Lucas and Mr. Rowe to send to the yard the moment any thing was wanted, no matter what the expense, and we always got whatever we wanted immediately: By Mr. Hawkins—There were no struts or shores of any kind whatever placed inside the cellar, or inside the party-wall, to resist the pressure from the wedging up of the outside shores. Mr. John Bush, builder,' of 3, Mill-street, Lambeth, next presented himself. He deposed to the general fact that he had been employed by Mr. Thompson to examine the wall and to see that no permanent injury was done. He consequently saw Mr. Abrahams several times upon the subject, and was satisfied with the mode in which the works were being conducted. Mr. Thompson himself was anxious that the party-wall should not be pulled down, on account of the inconvenience it would occa sion to him in his business. He was not aware that either Mr. or Mrs. Thompson was apprehensive of dan ger. A portion of the parlour wall was down on Tues day afternoon when he was there last with Mr. Thomp son, and he was satisfied that that was insecure but that would not affect the main wall in any way, and before taking that wall down they certainly ought to have shored it, both from the inside and the outside. He thought the cause of the accident had been the giv ing way of the floors and the lower part of the wall failing and bulging out, which it would do on account of the shores resting only against the upper part. Had there been shores under the timber joists below, he did not think the accident would have happened. As it was, for want of support the wall bulged out below the point where the raking shores supported it, and came down, and of course the upper part followed it. Mr. James Henderson was next called and examined. He said :—I am a photographic artist, and did reside at No. 184, Strand, until quarter-day last. I now reside at No. 204, Regent•street. I was last in the house in the Strand on Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock. I occupied the first floor and top floor, front and back. I have noticed a crack in the front wall of the house exactly at the angle where the front and party wall unite. It has been getting worse ever since the digging at the end of the house commenced. On Tuesday ast I put my flat hand up to the knuckles into it. i I complained of it to Mr. Thompson, and he said there was no fear whatever. The last time that I complained was, I should think, about a month ago. I was always complaining. I first entertained fears when the work began in October, and in fact I took away my property and carried on my business elsewhere for three months. I have not slept there since last quarter-day. There was a crack right along the top of the room on the first floor also, and another in the room above, through which the rain used to beat in. I drew the attention of Mr. Thompson and of Mr. Phil lips, who is Mr. Abraham's principal clerk, to the cir cumstance, and Mr. Thompson always replied that it was quite safe. I have nothing further to say, except that I think the house might have stood for many years if they had not commenced digging so near to it. Upon Tuesday I thought that it seemed worse, and some per sons who came in to have their portraits taken spoke of the strange vibration in the house. I take it that the vibration was occasioned by the weight of the traffic and the unsoundness of the foundations. . _ The coroner here intimated that the case must be ad iourned, and in the meantime, before they re-assembled, he should like to have the ground cleared and a plan of the property prepared. Mr. Hawkins said it would be very desirable if two or three independent surveyors would also examine the premises. The Coroner said that he had no power under the act either to make such an examination, or to pay the gentlemen who made it. He could only pay them for their attendance according to the usual scale for wit nesses, and the expenses of these investigations were very jealously watched by the magistrates at quarter sessions. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the Messrs. Lucas, said they were most anxious to further the inquiry in any way they could, their only object being to elucidate the truth. Mr. Ford, on behalf of the Messrs. Smith, volunteered to bear the expense of employing either one or two or three surveyors, to be named by the coroner, so desirous were they for a thorough investigation. Mr. Abrahams then observed that he should be quite ready to present himself for examination upon any future occasion. After some conversation as to the most convenient day for resuming the investigation, it was ultimately I adjourned until the 19th inst. A MONUMENT TO NAPIER.—Of course there will be a monument for Napier ; it is his due by the custom of the country. It is not due only to him, but to the country itself ; for it is the only use to which we can now put him to make him a standard for those that follow. Where to put the monument ? We know of no place better than on the very head and front of the dis trict which constituted his last command —on the shores of England, where he would have stood so well to defend us if we had been attacked, and where his very name may be a word to remind the foe what sort of a man an Englishman may be. Nay, it appears to us that we owe him yet another tribute—it is to give him a worthy successor. We do not mean in the colonelcy of his regi ment—a post of command, alas ! which has become half honorary, half commercial in its character—but we mean in that district which was for all its historical and politi cal associations so well allotted to a man like Napier— the Kent militia district. If titles do not stray to men like Napier, let not the patronage of that district stray amongst mere titled commanders, but let some truly able man who seeks to emulate Napier's powers as a soldier, with his devotion as a patriot, be posted on that fore most part of England amongst the English people. Let such a man be appointed, if such can be found.—The Leader.
