It bears the stamp, moreover, of individuality. It has entertained us more than either Coningsby or Sybil—and, we think, may stand higher in public favour. It is. unquestionably, the most brilliant and urpri s i nT novel of the season." —A thenseum. Usury Colboan, Publisher, 13, Great 31arlborough-street. TANCRED. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1847. No man in his senses would dream of giving a shilling for the sermon recently written and published by the Bishop of EXETER, nor even for any discourse which he might n owadays be disposed to indite. It is confidently asserted that the greater portion of the late publication will shortly be to be had in the market at the usual price of waste paper, and that the whole of it would have shared the same fate, had not a few friends of the Bishop purchased some copies, with the view of diminishing the hazard of increased injury to his reputation, which the atrabilious Dio cesan has untowardly incurred by rushing into print, and so extending the knowledge of his freak beyond the immediate precincts of the pulpit. Had the Prelate's friends not been exceedingly limited i n number, and very deficient in energy withal, this benevolent scheme might have been fully carried out. It appears, however, not only that HARRY of Exeter has not many friends, but that some persons, who are represented to be evilly-disposed towards him, have actually bought sundry copies, determined that the public should tot be ignorant of the episcopal frailties of the Right . Reverend PIIILLPOTTS. Bat, after all, it is not quite clear to us that these latter purchases have been effected with the bad intention imputed. May it not be thst the Bishop's real design has been more truly fathomed by these parties, who have spared no pains to give every notoriety to the sermon in question, than by those who were, in the first instance, dis posed to suppress its publication altogether ? If it be true that Bishop PIIILLPOTTS feels acutely for the dis tresses of the Irish and Scotch—as any person of common humanity must—and if it be also true that the Diocesan's means have become severely restricted, in consequence of the munificent extent to which he has carried his eleemosynary contributions, in every shape, ever since the acceptance of the mitre was re luctantly forced upon him, so much so that he found himself unable to subscribe to the Relief Fund in any way proportionate to his desire, or correspon dent to Lis high position—may it not very well be that, in an indirect, but, at the same time, in a shrewd and singular manner, he was anxious to second the charitable effort of the Mayor of Exeter and of a great proportion of the aristocracy of Devonshire ? Can any one doubt that the ball, which is to come off on the 6th inst., will be far more fully attended, by reason of the profound diplomacy of Bishop Puma- POTTS, than if he had never anathematised it and if the Subscription Rooms should be thronged, and the re ceipts be unexpectedly large, to whom will the patrons on the one hand, and the indigent and suffering on the other, be indebted, if not to HARRY of Exeter ? May not, then, the Mayor of Exeter be guilty of having mer cilessly castigated the very man who, of all others, actually foresaw how much good he could effect by offering himself up as a temporary victim to the odium of the unreflecting multitude ? Clearly, Mr. W. DENIS MOORE has not acted under any such impression in regard to the conduct of the Bishop ; and we freely concede that, if the Mayor was right in the view he took of the Bishop's proceeding, never was a sounder thrashing more meritedly, or more masterly administered than the one he has given to the redoubted PRILLTOTTS. We presume, indeed, that the Mayor was bent upon making the inter meddling Bishop sensible of the full force of one part of his sermon, where he has indited,—" it is good for us that we be afflicted—it will be good for us, that we still be made to feel what worms we are—what mere shadows s e pursue !"—and every one will admit that the Mayor, convinced that cucul lus non facit mmachtun, has completely effected his purpose. But we are strongly of opinion that the Mayor has not done justice to the Prelate's conduct, and that he has altogether mistaken his motive. It is quite true that he has palpably convicted the illus trious divine of having previously sanctioned a ball just as earnestly as he has denounced the forthcoming one ; and it is equally true that the Bishop would hale acted more in conformity with the amiable and Christian dike qualities with which every minister of religion, high and low, is supposed to be ani mated, by privately, and in due season, tendering his advice, and stating to the promoters of the charitable design his existing objections against it, than by bounding off, as he did, to the pulpit currente ealamo ; but then it should be remembered, on the other hand, that the Bishop is not deficient in memory, and must therefore have been prepared for an assault upon the inconsistency of his conduct at different times ; and again, it must be borne in mind, that if the Bishop had quietly remonstrated with the Mayor and his benevolent associates in the way sug• gested, it might have led to the abandonment of the project to which the Bishop himself was, nor is, not really averse. Had Dean SWIFT done what HARRY of Exeter has, everybody would have understood the joke ; but as this is the first time in his life that the Right Reverend PRILLPOTTS has ever done a face tious thing, no one seems inclined to give him credit fcr a very artful stroke of humour. We believe, however, that we have rightly inter preted the Bishop's policy, and it is no mean addition to the discoveries of the nineteenth century to learn that HARRY PIIILLPOTTS is really a very witty man. The Bishop may console himself with the reflection that many who are chuckling over his prostrate con dition will soon perceive the " very grievous error of their judgment," and do all in their power to miti gate his present sufferings. For ourselves we should certainly rejoice at such a revolution of sentiment, and to evince how earnestly we wish him well, we will give a slight hint, calculated to be of great service to o him in future, which i s never again to attempt le with the Mayor of Exeter. It is with considerable pain that we have again to ' direct the public the attentiognto of in a series objectionable s r t s one and internintemperate langua ge made use of resoluti ons p adopted at a meeting of certain Roman 'id z t a t t h n "n clergymen, held at - W es tport, on Tuesday l_ . Those reverend gentlemen, whose espec ial dut y it is, as ministers of a religion of peace to assuage the angry p ass i ons and to calm any irritation that might exist among peoplet f h or e getful of ofh whom they are the appointed p profes sion, strive to excite and madden thoisre their sacred whomlisten misery and destitution render too p rone to to any such suggestions. We have already po i nted out to those persons the injurious tendency of such langu age h o w little it i 3 calculated to attain the desired oi-; ; et and its probable effect on many who) have readily ') and to the utmost of their power contributed to alleviate the wants and mitigate the suffer;ngs of their Iri-ih brethren. Vituperation and abuse is but a sorry re turn for the gigantic efforts made by all classes in this country, from the peer to the peasant. The Govern- rnent have ddvotad all their energies to the improvement of Ireland. Night after night the Legislature has been occupied almost exclusively on Irish affairs. Matters of the deepest interest to this country have been postponed, while immediate and attentive consi deration has been given to any question relating to Ireland. An addition of eight millions of pounds sterling has been made to our national debt, the whole of which has been devoted to Ireland. The representatives of the people have unhesitatingly sanctioned the enormous expenditure, and by so doing have deprived themselves of the power of even asking for a remission of many of the taxes that press on the na tional industry, and their constituents have invariably approved of their conduct in so doing. More than 400,0001. has been collected by voluntary contribu tions, in addition to large sums that have been pri vately distributed in the afflicted districts. Vessels of war have been freighted with flour, meal, and bis cuits, in the preparation of which relays of men have been engaged, without intermission, night and day in the public victualling yards. Nothing in reason has been omitted or left undone for the people; and yet their pastors, men who profess to speak their senti ments and to direct their opinions, have dared to speak in the following terms of their benefactors, viz. : " That no language at our command can sufficiently express the horror we feel at the conduct of the present bungling Government in striking off the public works simultaneously, on Monday last, vast masses of the most destitute of our respective parishioners, who had no other earthly means of support for themselves and their families ; that the cries and shrieks of those famishing creatures, which have been incessantly ring ing in our ears since that fatal day, are enough to move even the most obdurate to sympathise with those poor outcasts, who have been thus sacrificed by the ruthless policy of those monsters, who, as it is well known, are anxious to rid the country by any means of its super abundant population. "That Government, by thus, cruelly, recklessly de priving thousands of their only means of subsistence be fore the machinery of the new Relief Bill had been ready for operation, are unquestionably responsible for all the terrible consequences which must inevitably follow in the interim from such a dangerous experiment, and are accountable before God and man for the lives of those forlorn creatures who are now doomed to die of starva tion in this unfortunate locality." And again— " That we cannot separate without pointinc , attention once more to the painful subject which we endeavoured to press upon the Government at our last meeting en the 9th instant, namely, that tillage in this district is totally neglected ; that combination" still continues here, and must continue as long as the Government and the Legislature close their ears to the cries of the Irish people, as they have hitherto done; and, as for the Lind lords, so far are they from troubling themselves about helping their tenants to get seed, that, on the contrary, ti.e generality of them, quite regardless of the fate of their tenants, chuckle with un-Christian deltht at the hippy prospect of soon having their lands to themselves." None have spoken more violently than those very persons themselves against the retaining on public works the quantity of labour that should be engaged in agricultural operations, and in making due preparation for the ensuing harvest. No sooner is the cry attended to, and a certain number of those best able to support themselves, and most likely to obtain work from the farmers, set free, than a new howl is set up, and a still stronger condemnation ut tered than before. It is hard to characterise this conduct as it deserves ; the term " mania" has been already applied, and it is the most charitable way of account ing for it. The most_ strenuous advocate could scarcely set up any defence, save that of "insanity," for those clerical agitators. We are happy to say that few participate in the sentiments to which they have given expression. Men of all parties in other Farts of Ireland, however widely they may have differed from the Ministerial policy, have invariably given the members of the Cabinet credit for the best intentions. They have admitted the extraordinary difficulty of their position, and have spoken of them in the language of gratitude, for the anxious desire they have exhibited, not only for the temporary relief, but for the permanent welfare of Ireland. It would be hard, therefore, to visit on the country generally the fitting punishment for such impropriety, to make the innocent suffer for the guilty. The resolutions, therefore, should be received with the profound con tempt and scorn they so richly deserve. The Emperor of Russia has issued a ukase inter dicting the circulation of the Polish coin, even in any part of Poland, and forbidden all the public offices, from May Ist, to receive any such coin in payment of public dues. We learn from Munster (Westphalia) that on the 129th ult. the Bishop of that diocese, while walking in the corridors of his cathedral between six and seven in the evening, was struck with apoplexy, and died in a very few minutes. His last words were, "My hour is come. 0 God! have mercy on my soul !" He was raised to the see only on the 10th of December last. Madrid papers of the 28th and 29. h ult. have arrived. The Gazette of the 28th contains a decree removing :he Duke DE SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues from office and another appointing their successors. These decrees are countersigned by Senor ROCA DE To- GORES, the Minister of Commerce of the Sotomayor Ministry. The following are the new Ministers : M. Pachgco, President of the Council, and Minister for Foreign Affairs ; M. Salamanca, Minister of Finance ; M. Benavides, of the Interior ; General Maziarredo, of War ; General Sotelo, of Marine M. Pastor Diaz, of Public Instruction and Com. merce. The portfolio of the Minister of Justice was offered :o Senor ARRAZOLA, and refused. The portfolio of War was offered in the first instance to General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA; had he accepted it, General MazzattuEno would have been nominated Minister of Marine. The Chamber aat on the 29th, and the new Premier, PACEIECO, made an official announcement of the change of Ministry, and declared that the new Cabinet would act upon liberal but moderate prin- ciples. He made an appeal for support to the patriotism of the Chamber, and requested a suspen sion of the sittings for a few days, in order that the Ministers might examine, with a view to approval or rejection, the diferent Bills which had been pre sented by their predecessors. Alluding to the foreign policy of the new Cabinet, M. PACUECO said that it would not permit the throne of the Queen of Fos- TUGAL to be placed in peril. Of the domestic feeling he said that it should be founded on the principle of legality, and that, if any event should occur contrary •to the hopes and expectations he entertained, to render it necessary to suspend for a time the constitutional laws, the Ministry would immediately after the resto ration of order abolish all extra-legal measures, and call upon the Chamber for a Bill of indemnity for the suspension of the laws. Some of the Deputies brought forward a proposition to the effect that M. SALAMANCA, the new Minister of Finances, having held contracts with the State, should now, in consequence of his accession to office, give in his accounts, and pledge himself to abandon all financial operations of a private nature. M. SALAMANCA stated that, in accepting office, he had made all the necessary arrangements for relinquish ing personal speculations, and repelled in warm terms all insinuations against his probity. Although the feeling of the majority of the Chamber seemed to be with him, the authors of the proposition in sisted upon going to the vote, when they were de feated by a majority, the numbers being 134 against 56. The Progressists voted with the Ministry. It was supposed on the 29th that the Cortes would be prorogued for ten or twelve days to enable the Ministry to complete its arrangements. General SERRANO made his appearance on the 28th before the Procurator Fiscal, in obedience to the summons issued by that functionary, but it was understood that the prosecution against him would be imme diately abandoned. Accounts from Barcelona in the Alkdrid journals state that the Montemolinists aro severely pressed by the QUEEN'S troops, and that General PAVIA has issued orders to his soldiery not to molest the people of towns way, but to render them a l l pr otection and assistan ce A Madrid letter of the 29th ult. says—" The in an y change of Ministry has produced a powerful effect in their power. upon the funds.

MADRID BOMA, Alaucu 29.—The Three pr Cents. closed at 311 for cash ; the Five pr Cents. at 191; the Debt without interest at 54 ; and the Coupons at 17. have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The change in the Spanish Ministry is the subject of comment in almost all of them, and is attributed, not to its true cause, viz , the natural repugnance of a young and spirited woman to those who have in sulted, thwarted, and tyrannized over her, and have ruthlessly sacrificed her happiness and her interests to forward thoir own ambitious and avaricious views ; hut to the iqtrigues of Mr. BULWER. The exhibition of impotent rage on the part of CHRISTINA'S organ, La Prose, is quite amusing. It says— "In carefully considering the present circumstances the events which are occurring contrary to all rule, the proceedings of this Ambassador of Opposition, kept by England in Spain to create anarchy, the language of the Spanish journals which are notoriously under his de pendence, the still more significant language, in our eyes, of the press of the Foreign-office, it is evident to us that English diplomacy is labouring to re-sieze by the most Machiavelic intrigues, the eroun I that it lost in the affair of the marriages. The 'English policy does not count much on the protests that it has made for the future; it prefers to turn the present to account. It seems to it, morcose r, a piquant thing to twist to its profit an arrangement which it so uselessly combatted. Mr. Bulwer, too, is there withhis vanity to be avenged at the same time as the policy of his country, and to every one who knows bow to read events, it is clear that nothing is spared to promote that object. Thus a dis sension arises between a young Queen contending against the difficulties of the Government, and her consti tutional Ministry supported by both Chambers; a Minis try falls at the very moment at which the two Chambers give it a striking proof of their support; an endeavour is evidently being made to obtain a dissolution of the Cortes which have been just elected, and which no friend of Spain could think of overthrowing at the commence ment of their first session; the partizans of the British Embassy in the press and in the Cortes re-assume all their audacity; the Queen-Mother, who maintained the union of the Moderate party, has been obliged, it is said, to quit Spain; Spain marches rapidly towards a crisis, which may become lamentable; and during this time the English press redoubles its invectives and calumnies against France, against the Moderate party, against all that can save Spain from the domination of England. All these circumstances reveal a redoubtable cause of action, to neutralise which too much dispatch cannot be employed. We are convinced, therefore, that our Go vernment at this moment has something else to do their to insult, in a Ministerial journal, the members of the Conservative party who have remained faithful to the flag under which the last general election took place. We believe that they should not slumber in the setiefac lion of the indirect advantage obtained in the affair of the Spanish marriages. The policy which ef fected those marriages is in danger of allowing itself to be compromised. The cunning and shamelessness of England threaten to turn the result we applauded to her profit and the triumph of anarchy in Spain. It is time to reflect more than seems to be done ; it is time to retake the advantage that we are perhaps on the eve of allowing to be wrested from us. England is morti fied, and it is only by opposing an incessant persever ance that we can struggle against her efforts. Why does not M. Bresson return to his post? Why does he leave the field free to Mr. Bulwer, who now dominates in the secret counsels of Queen Isabella, who openly en deavours to effect the annihilation of the moderate party, who ha.s already reversed the Ministry which re presented that party, the Cortee, and all regular in terests in Spin ? Can it be conceived that in a crisis which may become so grave, when Queen Christina is absent, France is not represented at Madrid ? Is it desired then to lose all the advantage conquered six months ago at the price of an alliance to which great importance was attached ? Is it desired to become the laughing stock of Europe? Let our Government then become warned, and let It at least exert itself in the circle of its legitimate influence! The conclusion given to the marriage affair, in spite of the op position of England, undoubtedly assures it real advan tages, but at the same time imposes upon it a great re sponsibility. Let it not forget that for a single day ! And let Spain, too, think seriously upon it I A malignant influence s: eks to dorainate tier destinies, and its intervention in the complications which arise is only too evident, The mind which dictated the famous in structions of the 19th July; the band which directed the scandalous demonstrations which were made in Slain and in England at the news of the conclusion of the marriages; the policy which tries to compel Spain to dis inherit her Infanta, and to violate her constitution, and which caresses the Legitimatist Pretender kept at London as an object of dread to Spain—England, in one word, menaces at this moment the repose of Spain. And what aggravates the danger still more, this policy disposes of a party in Spain, and finds an evident support in a frac tion of the Spanish press, which has not known how to preserve itself from its action." Here we take note of an admission in this the organ of Queen CHRISTINA, which proves the truth of the assertions that have all along been made by the patriotic party in Spain, and the falsehood, the absolute and downright falsehood, of the denial of those assertions so audaciously put forth by CHRIS'. TINA and her supporters. CHRISTINA is and has been an agent of France in Spain. CHRISTINA, although holding no official appointment in Spain, although only simple Duchess of RIANZARES and a Neapolitan, has interfered in the Government, exercised the rights of sovereignty, andoverrulecl frequently the will of the QUEEN. Such were the assertions of the patriots, assertions denied by CHRISTINA. and her organs. What says La Presse " Can it be conceived that in a crisis which may become so grave, wizen Queen CHRISTI - NA is absent, France is not represented at Madrid ?" If CHRISTINA does not interfere in matters of state, as has been asserted, if CHRISTINA. is not the agent of France, what difference can her presence at, or absence from Spain, make to France? We thank the Presse for this admission. The National has the following on the subject of the Spanish Ministerial changes : " Our predictions of the inevitable return' of the English influence at Madrid have been realised much sooner than we expected. After a long resistance, the Sotomayor Ministry has been vanquished, and fairly turned out of doors by the Queen. Her wishes were known, but it was necessary to find a Minister who would consent to countersign the dismissal of the others, and this was difficult. Th Minister of War, who was the first to get weary of his position, had wished to re tire. This first breach caused the whole edifice to give way. The Duke de Sotomayor, however, held his ground, and reluoed te the end to give up hie port folioit;by was necessary, force, andi‘i.itcco de Togores consented to become the executioner of his colleagues. The Queen has appointed M. Pacheco President of the Csain cil, M. Salamanca Minister of Finance, and M. Pastor Diaz Minister of Public Instruction. These three per sons occupy the first rank in the fraction of the Opposi • tion, which is callel Puritan. Their three colleagues are of a different character. M. Mazzarredo has the portfolio of War, M. Benavides that of the Interior, and M. Sotello that of Marine. This monster Ministry has the head of a woman and the tail of a serpent. It is called a cabinet of coalition. It should rather be called a cabinet of transition between the Moderates and the Progressists. We do not know, besides, whether Mr. Bulwer will be much in a hurry to adopt the latter, for we do not believe that he will find among them many men of whom England would be so proud as she is of M. Pacheco and his friends. It was with these persons, and not with the Progressists, that Mr. Bulwer had an understanding at Madrid, for the protest against the Montpensier marriage. They were his legal support, and the extra-legal support figured in his calculation as an en car. We believe Mr. Bulwer has now four men out of six of the new Cabinet; and now behold how, at the end of six months, the influence of France is pre ponderant on the other side of the Pyrenii,s." The Legitimatist organ, the Union M'onarchique, says— " A complete exposure of the little drama, somewhat political but more of a private character, which preceded the fall of the Sotomayor Ministry must not be expected from us. It would require the boldness of a Latin pen, and thank God we have not got one. So many scandals are mixed up in this affair, so many mysteries are yet hidden in certain parts of the palace of Madrid, that we have not the courage to raise entirely the veil which covers them. We shall therefore be discreet publicists in confining ourselves to saying, that the caprice of a young woman is at least for one-half in the Ministerial crisis just accomplished. As to the other half, who has not al ready seen in it the work of English policy? Evidently the last Cabinet has inaugurated by its fall a change of preponderance; it gave way to that reaction which has already mani'ested itself, and which in less than six mouths has paralysed French influence, circumvented the revolutionary throne of Isabella, and precipitated Chris tina in a new exile. T.o seek the last word of English di plomacy in Spain would be for the moment to seek the solution of an insoluble problem. It is the impenetrable secret of Lord Palmerston. No one can say, no one can imagine today what he will ordain to-morrow in that land conquered anew from French policy. What we can affirm is, that this policy at the end of five months has lost all the ground that it gained at the time of the double marriages ; and that after having been tottering and dying under the last Administration, our influence is nothing more than a souvenir under the Pacheco Admi nistration; it vanished never to return with the phantom Cabinet of the Duke de Sotomayor, with that Cabinet miserably smothered between two secret doors, one of which led to the apartments of Isabella, the other to the hotel of the English Embassy. Let us resume in two words the sad termination of this sad comedy : it is less a Pacheco Ministry than a Serrano-Bulwer Ministry that Queen Isabella has just given herself. These two names will for the future weigh on Spain, and become the symbol of English re-action. As to France, there re main to her nothing more than the sweet recollections of the .double marriage, and of the pompous bulletins drawn up by M. Bresson. Where are now the authors of these marriages ? M. leturitz is in diseumfiture— Christina is in a foreign land—and M. Guizot—oh ! as to him, be assured that his complaints against the in gratitude of Isabella are not the least bitter !" The Siede, in noticing the change of Ministry, says— " If ft pronunciamiento be desired, the affair is in good har;ds, for it is Mr. Bulwer who now holds the strings. England made the revolution of La Grarja,, and brought about tho abdication of Valencia; but she was Afterwards beaten in the person of Espartero and in the marriage question. It is her turn now; and we may believe that she is determined to take it seriously. We know full well that whatever we might have done in Spain, England would have counteracted us. France requires that Spain should be powerful; England that she should be thrown out of the path of her veritable political interests. An tagonism was inevitable. But what we deplore is that our Cabinnt has not understood that the affinity of France and Spain is by revolution, by democracy, and by liberty. We ought to have taken in the Peninsula the position that we have given to England." _ Had the i?rench Government taken in Spain the position which a Government, the off6pring of the revolution of July, ought to have taken—had it shown itself the friend of liberty and of progress, England would never have sought to counteract its efforts, and the entente cordiale would never have been interrupted. " The price of flour and grain," slys the Moniteur, " continues to decrease in Paris. The rate at which flour raid on Thursday reduces the price of the kilo gramme of bread to 55c., being a dhninution of 14 centiines per loaf of 2 kilogrammes." The Constitutionnel of Friday has a long article defending the conduct of COLETTI and the Greek Government. According to the Journal des Chemins de Fer, the Ministry contemplate introducing some measures for the relief of the railroad interest. _ _ The squadron of evolution is to sail from Toulon in the beginning of April. The Courrier de Marseilles of the 30th ult. con tains the following:—. " The Infante Don Enrique, brother of the King of Spain, who arrived on Saturday morning at Marseilles. intended to sojourn some time in our city, for he had hired, for a month, an apartment in the Hotel Beauveau. In the course of that day he was visited by Lieutenant- General Hautpoul, by the prefect of the department, and the Consul of Spain ;" and the cordial reception he bad experienced confirmed him in his resolution to pro long his stay at Marseilles. A diplomatic decision, however, soon upset all his projects. To the great astonishment of every body the Infante was immediately ordered to quit Marseilles and France. The order, which, no doubt, r( ached by the telegraph, was notified to him at nightfall, with an injunction to depart before day, fur Nice, and thence proceed to Naples, At four o'clock un Sunday morning a poatchaise arrived at the gate of the Hott.l Beauveau, and the Prince, without giving any explanation, took his departure for the Sardinian states."

Shortly after three o'clock this (Monday) morning, one of the most extensive water-side fires, since the con flagration at Topping's Wharf, broke out upon the pre mises known as the Kent end Sussex Wharf, on the Southwark side of Lendon- bridge, the property of Mr. Alderman Humphery. The north frontage of this range of building faces the river Thames within a few feet of the bridge, the dis tance from the one to the other being filled up by the Hibernia Wharf, which is tenanted by Messrs. Alder man Humphery, Messrs. Gold and Co., wholesale grocers, and Messrs. Mann and Skinner, cider mer chants. The south front of the Kent and Sussex Wharf faces the basement story of the Bridge-house Hotel, while on the western side it is adjoined by the wharf denominated " Mann's Wharf." The ground plan of the building forms a parallelogram, the depth of which is about 180 feet, and the breadth nearly twenty feet. The premises were lofty, with four floors, and a double connecting roof stretched in a con tinuous line from the northern to the southern gables. The fire made its appearance, in the first instance, in the front facing the water's edge, from the windows in which the policeman on duty upon the bridge observed a strong glare of light, and immediately a huge body of flame burst from the lower part of the wharf, and rushed upward with uncontrollable fury. Information of the circumstance was instantly dispatched to the several engine-stations, the police stationed in Montague place exerting themselves most judiciously in preventing any persons from forcing in the doors before the arrival of the engines. Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the Southwark section of the brigade force, arrived with his engine, followed by the one from Tooley-street station; Mr. Braidwood, with the Watling-street engine and firemen, and others from more distant stations. The West of England engine and that of the County were also very.early at the scene. At the time of the arrival of the earliest engines considerable difficulty was expe rienced in obtaining assistance, and a sufficiency of hands not being found until the several policemen scoured the neighbouring beats, and knocked up parties known by them to belong to the labouring population. Orders were given by Mr. Braidwood, as soon as the fact of the outbreak was made known to him, for the un mooring of the floating engine, and consequently the gong was sounded to call the hands together required to row the vessel from its station near Southwark_ bridge, and for hands to work it when it reached the fire. Upwards of half an hour elapsed, however, before a sufficiency of men could be obtained. As soon as possible the engines on shore were got into full play, two of them being stationed on London-bridge, the hose being led over the Hibernia Wharf, whilo vast bodies of water were poured upon the burning pile from engines stationed in Montague-close, and the floating engine moored immediately in front of the wharf. For some time but little impression was made upon the fire, but by a judicious appointment of the appliances at hand the flames were confined to the wharf, and the adjoining property and party walls kept as cool as possible. For tunately there is, between Kent and Sussex and Hibernia wharves, a passage or water-way about six feet in width, the side walls are of great thickness, while the party wall cn the west side is of an excellent character. The fire, consequently, was kept within the area of the wharf in which it originated. By six o'clock, however, the flames were got under, and by seven nothing could be seen of the fire except the smouldering embers and the bodies of smoke which arose from them, and the deplor able havoc the conflagration had occasioned. How the fire originated it is not possible to explain. An investigation it is expected will ti fo e llow the r cal for the amity, to be instituted by Mr. W. Payne, corone City and the borough of Southwark. LATEST PARTICULARS. ELEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M.—The tire by this hour is completely extinguished, and the firemen haring gone over the ruins as far as practicable, and with the several parties belonging to the property consumed or damaged, Mr. Braidwood has been enabled to lay thus early the result of the catastrophe before the several insurance offices.

At various periods his forensic abilities were exhibited in leading trials of interest ; amongst others was that of the King v. Thistlewood, in which he was retained for the defence. The deceased gentleman retired from the profession about eight years ago, at least his name has not since appeared in con nexion with any case. Mr. Curwood was called to the bar by the Hon.

There appears to be a very contidsrablo difference of opinion whether the Court of Directors will act up stringently to the resolve they arrived at on Thursday last, relative to the discount firms of the City, and the bills sent into the Bank of England by them. It is state'''. with very considerable confidence its some quarters. that the resolutions will, in all pro bability, be rescinded. If such should be the case, the slirectors, in the opinion of many, will only yield to the expressed opinion of a clique of the rich firms of the City of London. With the exception of spvcolators and monopolists, the strict rule intended to be enforced on and after the 17th inst. meets with much favour. Much anxiety has been expressed in all circles this morning, especially in circles connected with the West India and South American trades, at the re ported loss of the royal mail steam ship the Tweed. It is scarcely doubted but the ship has foundered, but there are very strong grounds for the belief that the loss of life has been greatly ex aggerated. Authentic advices were looked for with deep interest. A general expectation seems to prevail that, exclusive of railway supplies, a large drain upon our stocks of iron will take place on the return of the almost innu merable vessels now arriving in our ports with cargoes of bread-stuffs. These stocks are by no means accu mulating under the present demand, although an in crease of produce in the manufacturing department has been carried out to a great extent—so far, indeed, as the supply of materials will allow. This ex pectation, combined with the existing pressure of orders, imparted a tone of cheerful feeling at the prepara tory meeting held at the hotel, Dudley, last week, when a resolution was passed unanimously, to the effect that the prices of iron should remain the same as last quarter. It appears, therefore, pretty certain that the full nominal price for manufactured iron, and the slight advance upon pigs that was established last quarter day, will be easily sustained during the ap proaching quarterly meetings ; and under the adverse position of the general mercantile interests of the coun try, the satisfactory maintenance of existing prices may be considered equivalent to an advance under ordinary circumstances. An uneasiness among the workmen in the Welch districts has been manifested, and in a slight de gree has contaminated this neighbourhood, but it has been met by determined measures of self-protection on the part of the masters, and with the prospect of more moderate charges for provisions, and the summer season at hand, we do not think a general attempt to demand higher wages will be made. The quarterly meetings will be held at Walsall to-morrow (Tuesday) ; sit Wolverhamp ton on Wednesday ; Birmingham on Thursday, Stour bridge on Friday, and at Dudley on Saturday next. A slight improvement has ;aken place in the Consul Market to-d:ty. For Money, as well as for the Account, the present value is 884.

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY.) During last week the arrivals of all kinds o' Grain, es well as Flour, of home produce, were on a very limited scale, while, from Ireland and Scotland, scarcely any thing came to hand. The imports of foreign 'Wheat were good, viz., upwards of 10,000 quarters ; vvbi le those of Barley exceeded 9 , 000 ; of Oats, 25,000 quartets ; end of Flour, 14,000 barrels, all exclusive ei a feie importation of Beans, Peas, and Indian core. The receipts of English Wheat fresh up, were very small ; and the total supply of that article on offer--- owing to most of last Monday's unsold samples finding purchasers on Wednesday, was comparatively limited' The best qualities of both red and white commaedtel e steady, hut by no means brisk, inquiry, at priers atol l equal to those obtained ote this day se'nnight.

There was no business tratisaete d in English Wheat on French account; indeed, we did not see a single foreign buyer in attendance The show foreign Wheat, from the weekly increasing arrivals, larger than for some time past ; still, however, the ire i i orters were very firm, and some of them would not se' except at at a trifle more money.
