They ask not with what I justice we can divest ourselves of the duty of pro viding for our own impotent poor, and send them to starve and die in other climes, quod volumus facile credimus. They desire to get rid of their destitute brethren, and they are prepared to believe it can easily be accomplished. The first question that will have to be submitted to the Committee will be, whether Ireland is really over- peopled—whether useful and beneficial em ployment may not be found for every able-bodied labourer throughout the land. We are fully con vinced that it will be manifested that there is an ample field for the occupation of all, and that their labours, when directed into the proper channels, will be in the highest degree valuable to the kingdom in general. We do not want a tide of emigration flowing from the Irish shores, but an influx of capital to carry out the desired ameliorations. Already within the last twenty years nearly 1,500,000 persons have volun tarily t=ailed from Ireland, and there has recently been a large increase, so that from 200,000 to 300,000 may fairly be estimated as the number of departures for the present year, and what advantage has been derived therefrom? Even Lord MONTEAGLE has been forced to admit " that he feared it was of a kind that, so far from relieving, would greatly increase the evils of which just complaints were now universally made ; that he found that the greater part of the emigration that had taken place was from the employers rather than from the employed, and that it had produced no effect either in a greater demand for labour or in an increased desire to possess land." It is, then, because we are convinced that this inquiry will remove the false and erroneous impressions that have gone abroad that we hsil with joy the appointment of the Committee. We drew attention yesterday to the case o Tuomis KINKING, imprisoned under the Smal Debts Act, by virtue of an order made by Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, upon an ex-parte ap plication of the plaintiff, basedbased upon the alle gation, that the defendant had failed to pay the first of a series of instalments, as previously directed by the Court. We alluded to the application which the prisoner had subsequently made, without success, to the Court of Queen's Bench to be discharged from custody, under the above circumstances, and by virtue of which, it was contended, that the imprison ment was illegal ; we observed upon the fact, that the judges hereupon were equally divided in their opinion, and urged that the practice was reprehensible which caused the prisoner to be remanded back to prison under this state of things ; and, finally, we alleged that, in point of law, Lord DENMAN and Mr. Justice ERLE were in error in differing from the view taken of this matter by their Learned Col leagues, Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. We also rejoiced that the ques tion was' to be mooted anew in the Court of Common Pleas. The Judges of the latter court have since unanimously decided that the commitment was illegal, and the prisoner was accordingly forthwith discharged. Lord DENMAN'S great error lay here— he considered the proceeding of the Commissioner to have been ministerial instead of judicial, whereas it was clearly the latter. The object of the Act is to punish a party, by a term of imprisonment not exceeding forty days, who was or is able to pay in a manner specified and arranged by the court having jurisdiction in debts under 201. The imprisonment does not liquidate the debt, and is therefore a pro ceeding in peenarn. As observed by Chief Justice kVILDE, " the Act was passed in accordance with the general principles of humanity, that you should not press a man when he is not of ability to pay." A man may have paid nineteen out of twenty instal ments, and it would be hard if, because he had not satisfied the last, he was to be de prived of his liberty without being heard in his defence. A thousand adverse circumstances might have intervened to thwart his intention of paying the entire debt, and yet, if the judge of the Sheriffs Court had been supported in his order, it is manifest that the object of the Legislature would have been defeated. The fact is, the Act is very laSkSo►E4~'llrli`i}l`issuec~ when an Insta has not been paid up. Being defective in this re spect, every one would have supposed that the general principles of law should prevail, and that a person should not be condemned unheard. But Lord DEN.. M tN'S wisdom flew off at a tangent, and, setting this reasonable inference aside, held a new summons un necessary, fearful that, if it were, debtors might abscond. Whether this be likely to be the effect of the decision of the Common Pleas or not is beside the point; but it is curious reasoning for the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, in order to supply an omission in a statute, to supply it by confirming a power assumed in an inferior court, adverse to the liberty of the subject. If we are to have stringent powers, let them be un equivocally conferred by law ; we seek not to be indebted for them to the constrained fancies of any judge. We agree, however, with Mr. Justice COLT MAN, that defendants, on receiving notice, would not get out of the way, as the sums sued fur are generally of so small an amount; it was not like the Act for abolishing arrest on mesne process, under which the debts might constitute an inducement to parties to abscond. Letters from Rome, dated the 27th ult., state that the Rev. Dr. MILEY and Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL had arrived there, bearing with them the heart of the late Mr. O'CoNNELL, enclosed in a silver urn. "No words can describe," say those letters, " the grief and disappointment that was experienced at the announcement of O'Connell's death. A triumphal entry was prepared fur him. The compartments of the arch under which he was to pass were ready, and every other arrangement made to receive him, rather as a prince than as a pilgrim. The stroke which crushed all our hearts has deranged all this, and the glowing enthu siasm which busied itself about his triumphal entry is sorrowfully but earnestly engaged in preparing for the grand requiem which is to be celebrated for his eternal repose on the 15th June in one , )f the chief Bs silicas of Home. Padre Ventura, the brightest ornament of the pulpit in Italy, is preparing the funeral oration. An audience is to be granted to the Rev. Dr. Miles and Mr. Daniel O'Connell imtn, diately on the return if Pius IX. froAl Suliaco, for which place his Holiness started this morning at three o'clock. Half Rome has followed him. The Pope's own suite and guard were small, but their deficiency was more than compensated for by the sixty or eighty young Roman nobles and gentlemen, who turned out splendidly mounted and appointed as a volunteer body-guard for their Sove reign, who reigns supreme in every heart. His Holi ness is not expected to return before Tuesday next. In the interim the heart of O'Connell is deposited in the ancient church of St. Agatha, which is served by the Irish college, where, on Monday next, a solemn re quiem is to be celebrated for the departed, those death has plunged the venerable prelate, the Very Rev. Dr. Cullen, who presides over the college, and his commu nity into the bitterest grief." The POPE has appointed five new Cardinals, two French (the Archbishops of Cambrai and Besancon), and three Italian—M. ANTONELLI, Treasurer; M. BUFONDI, Prolegate at Ravenna; and M. Foartaxt, the Pontifical N uncio in Paris." A Berlin letter states that on the 28th ult. the whole of the Court, the Foreign Ministers, and seve ral members of the two Orders of the States of Prussia, had the honour of dining with the KING at Potsdam, in honour of the birthday of the Queen of ENGLAND. This is the first time that this mark of respect towards her Britannic MAJESTY has been shown in Prussia. A letter from Munich, of May 27, says—" The news lately given by the journals, that the KING in tended to separate the administrative power from the judicial, turns out to be exact. Yesterday, the anni versary- of the granting of the Bavarian con-titation, his MAJESTY, after a Cabinet Council of three hours' duratimn, gave orders to have this great and salutary measure carried into effect. At the same time the KING issued an ordonnance, enacting that the pro-. ceedings in all the courts of law, civil and criminal, should be public." We quote the following from the Specter Gazette: — "It is said that the Emperor Nicholas is about to do an act of generosity towards such Poles as have been condemned for political offences. Those who have been exiled to Siberia, and whose estates have been confis cated, are to be allowed to return into the kingdom, and re-enter into possession of their property."

Assuredly the riddle of Sphinx was not more bewildering or inexplicable than this simple inquiry, if we may estimate its dif ficulty by the diversity and contradiction of the an swers given by modern financiers. A pound ! why, the colour of the chamelion has not been provocative of more opposite assertions. For all that could be adduced from the 'inverse definitions of this incom prehensible thing—a pound—by those who are pre sumed to be deeply versed in the monetary science, we might as well endeavour to penetrate the Elusy nean mysteries, to solve the variations in the magnet, to concoct the elixir vita, or to prove that mankind has not in all ages been most credulous and most ex travagant. Until we have arrived at some definite understand ing, however, as to the signification of a pound it is hopeless to expect anything like sound or even safe le gislation in regard to national finance. Sir R. PEEL has assumed to himself a species of despoti s m in regard to the Currency : it is natural, therefore, that to him public curiosity should be first directed for some explicit interpretation of this awfully mysteri -1 ous monosyllable. Sir ROBERT PEEL has given his interpretation--three years ago he gave it—repeatedly since then he has given it; but such an interpretation ! such an ingenious jumble of paradoxes, such an eccentric puzzle of words, as left the original ques -1 tion as invisible as a needle in a bottle of hay. Arguing from the premise that a pound (a nominal pound) of gold is 12 . 31-274 grains of gold, Sir ROBERT PEEL maintained that the meaning of a Ipound is literally " a definite quantity of gold with a mark upon it to determine its weight and fineness." Remember, he asserted this upon the premise that a pound is fixed at 123 . 1-274 grains of gold; and he asserted, almost in a simultaneous breath, that an ounce of gold being legally determined to be of the value of 31. 17s. 100., an ounce of gold and a pound of silver must be considered as equivalent, or, in other words, that the signification of an ounce of golds being estimated by law at the sum of 31. 17s. lOid., is simply the expression.of the value of gold relatively with silver. While uttering these opinions Sir R.,- BERT coolly knocks the ground from under himself, cracks the reed upon which he is leaning, by con fessing that silver can no longer be regarded as a standard of value—that, in short, the silver coinage is at present " a mere token," seeing that the value of silver has fluctuated within recollection from 625. to 665. per pound ! Was ever magnificent castle in the air so instantaneously demolished, and that, moreover, by its very fabricator ? Why, if silver coinage is a mere token, gold coinage must equally be a mere token ! If silver generally yam ies in value, a pound ,of silver must vary in value, 1 and consequently a fluctuating pound of silver cannot by possibility be the equivalent of an unfluc \ tuating ounce of gold ! The meaning of an ounce of 1 gold at 31. 17s. 100. Sir R. PEEL defines, as we Ihave already stated, to b e mere ly th e ex pre s sion of its relative value to silver. If, therefore, the value of silver is variable, the value of gold, as it is rated proportionately with silver, must necessarily be mutable in like manner. Already has Sir ROBERT considered a pound as being composed of 123.1-274 grains of standard gold, and he has declared that quantity to have been decided upon from the circum stance of the pound of account having been formerly. namely, in the reign of WILLIAM the CON QUEROR, literally a pound (weight) of silver. Yet this lesser metal, by_which titajaWritAtiV;;^% viewed as anything more than a mere token, becaue its value fluctuates like that of any baser commodity. From first to last, throughout Sir ROBERT PEEL'S explanation, there is an utter chaos of contradictions, and paradoxes, and prevarications. From first to last it is manifest that his arguments are based upon premises of inherent rottenness. From first to last t is certain that a pound is not, as he maintains, an actual thing—an existent fact—a visible and repre. sentable substance, but that it is, on the contrary, a fiction—an ideal and suppositious medium—a phrase used conventionally and symbolically. From the root, therefore, from the very founda tions, the present system of the Currency, as modelled and constructed by Sir ROBERT PEEL., is un sound and untenable. From the root, from the very foundations, it must be remodelled and reconstructed. In another column will be found a communication from a provincial banker pointing out the urgent necessity for some combined effort to insure a gigantic alteration in the national Currency, and especially directing attention to the opportunity afforded for that effort by the approach ing general election. The suggestion is admirably timed and is eminently entitled to consideration. Meanwhile the electors throughout the kingdom should weigh the matter seriously in the balance. They should probe the wounds caused in our Credit by the Bank Charter Bill of 1844, the causes of which are conclusively set forth in a brief but emphatic pamphlet by Mr. CHARLES ENDERBY. At the county and borough hustings let not the late financial in volvements be forgotten. The question of emigration was last night brought before the House of Lords by Lord MONTEAGLE, who moved for a Select Committee to consider the mean s by which emigration might be made a benefit to the social condition of Ireland. In the reasons adduced by the Noble Secretary for the Cohmies for assenting to the inquiry, in his ma , 4erly and convincing reply, we most cordially concur. He has acted on a prin ciple which has not hitherto been sufficiently recog nised. Heretofore it was too much the custom to consider that entering into an investigation was an admission of the accuracy and justice of the charges or the principles asserted by the mover—that it implied a general acquiescence in his views; Lord GREY, however, adopted a more judicious course. He consented to . the appointment of the pro posed Committee, because he believed that the result would be to disabuse men's minds of a dangerous error, viz., that emigration could be made useful to the greatest imaginable extent. Many erroneous and unfounded opinions on the sub ject are, unhappily, too prevalent. Certain classes in Ireland have been impressed with the most extrava gant ideas on the point. They have looked upon a large and extensive system of emigration as the only remedy for the ills of Ireland. They have de liberately stated that there can be no prosperity for Ireland until one-fourth of her population are trans ferred to other shores—until two millions of people are banished from their native land ; that, for the supposed benefit of Irish landlords, their estates are to be cleared, their country depopulated at an expense to the national Exchequer, or, in other words, to the English taxpayer, of some forty or fifty mil lion pounds sterling. Such was the scheme originally brought forward and supported by many Members of either Howe of Parliament, and other influential gentle r man i lyaer been de neot:t advocatergeconnected with Ireland. But when, at length, t h e quest i on i s b rought b e f ore t h e S enate , o h u asin ci g . le In f oitictnoecttu,hpealisefxttethe extent Noh n t it ba s ite d e hL f a e od n r c dp e r , eh vad o i o p r l i stated, it was utterly an d entirely repudi a t e d.

It w ill pin them d own so me certain propositions, the falla c y of whichcatn rea dily be exposed.

'We hope and believe that such is not the case. The affair of Eu is surely a sufficient ex ample of the complications which must arise from any attempt to settle state affairs by personal and non official communications between constitutional Sove reigns. Colonel WYLDE and the Marquis D'EsrANA had a long interview with the QueeN on Thursday night, after the arrival of the Bulldog. A letter from Oporto, under date the 22d, contains the following : " The Polyphemus and a Spanish steamer arrived off our bar at two P. 31.. yesterday, bringing dispatches for our Consul and Captain Robb, of the Gladiator. The former, in consequence of the nature of these dispatches, requested the heads of all British houses here to wait upon him this day, between the hours of twelve and two, to receive a verbal communication, which was in substance as follows : —' That he had received orders from Lisbon to test of the Junta a nd o f th e C on d e Das Antes, as co ander-in-chi( fof its army, to agree to a general suspension of the hostilities now carrying on between them and the Queen, both by sea and land; that in the event of its not being acceded to, the Gladia tor would very likely leave the river ; and, therefore, he had to intimate to all those who, under the circurn stanc.s, might wish to embark for safety, that every facility would be given them to do so, and that ample accommodation would be provided for them on board the squadron outside the bar, to consist of the Sidon, Gladiator, and Polyphemus steamers, with the American frigate. That this was merely a precautionary measure against any ebullition of angry feeling that might take place. either on the part of the Junta or the people, in consequence of our mediation, as even if the Junta re fused to accede to a suspension of hostilities, it was not yet decided what measures would in consequence be adopted. The suspension to be binding on both parties until answers were received to the dispatches forwarded to the British Government by the Jackal,' I believe both the Consul and Captain Robb have gone to see the Conde Das Antes at Regoa." It is stated that on the 24th the Mindello and Royal Tar steatners*w . i. , nt out of Oporto and attacked the Portuguese. frigate. Dona Maria Secunda, lying off the bar, which hoisted a Spanish flag, and made off. The steamers afterwards pursued their way west. SA DA BANDEIRA, writing from St. Übes, under date the 26th ult., says— " Yesterday I received two dispatches, dated the 22d instant, one from Sir Hamilton Seymour, and the other from M. AyLon, in which they informed me that the vessels of war of the two powers which they represented had orders not to allow the steamers which acknow ledged the authority of the Junta to go out of port if they contained troops, and to prevent them landing any if they were met at sea. "To this I answered, that I would acquaint the Junta of an act of direct and armed intervention in favour of thu.e who haul destroyed the fundamental laws of the country, and re-establi,hed the reign of ab solutism and terror, in oppu , sition to those who de fended the liberties of the country and the constitutional throne of her Majesty Dona Maria Secunda. " Yesterday I wrote to the same effect to the autho rities in the Alemtejo and the Algarve, in order that every preparation might be made effectually to resist any invasion of foreign forces." On the 28th the sound of firing was heard in the direction of St. Übes. The Bulldog, on the morning of that day sailed for Oporto. The Polyphemus ar rived in the Tagus from Oporto, on the 29th, just before the Tiger sailed. It was said that she brought dispatches announcing that the Junta had acceded to the terms brought out by the Bulldog. On the 27th a pronunciamento, in favour of the Junta, took place at Coimbra, where between 3,000 and 4,000 have taken arms. Madrid papers of the 29th have been received. The Gageta publishes a royal decree, authorising the importation of flour, grain, and other articles of food, rice excepted, free of duty. The QUEEN was to leave Madrid on the 10th for La Granja. The KING continues at the Prado. SALAMANCA. is recovering from his illness. He visited General SERRANO on the 29th. It is said that 2,000,000 of reals have been advanced by the Bank of San Fernando to defray the expenses of the army invading Portugal. It is said that Generals CASSAZ and Ruiz have re ceived permission to return to Spain, and that a similar permission will be given to Generals LINAGE, IRIART*, AMETTI.ER, LEIMERICK, and SANTA CRUZ.

Everything portends a speedy termination of the session. All measures likely to give rise to discus sion are withdrawn, and others, the passing of which are abs dutely necessary, are hurried through with all possible haste. On Thursday the sitting of the Chamber of Peers was enlivened by an incident which may lead to the making of important revelations. The Comte DE PONTOIS directed the attention of the Chamber to an article which had appeared in the Presse a few days before, and which accused the Government of having sold a peerage for 80,000 francs. A. 4 thin scandalous accusation was calculated to throw a slur upon the character of the Chamber, he moved that M. EMILE DB 4,;-IRABDIN, Member 01 the Chamber of Deputies, and responsible editor of the Presse, be summoned to the bar of the Chamber to answer for his offence. The proposition wa, adopted, but no day was fixed 'for the appearance of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN at the bar. On the subject of the recent arrests of Carlist of ficers the Phare de Bayonne has the following:— .6 Ti - e Spani,h General Alzaa and the Colonel of Ar tillery, Don Luis Antonio Garcia Puente, both Carlist aefugt es, were arrested on the 27th by the t4endarm.-rio and the police in a house in this town in which they Imo secrete ' theuaselves. General Juliano Jo.,quitt Alzaa is without contra Diction one of the most important teen of the Carlist party. lie is still young, has an agreeable physiognomy, and bears a name unstained by the excesses of the civil war. In the present state of things this capture will probably have the immediate result of dissipating the senseless hopes of the Carlists of Guipuz2oa, Biscay, and Navarre, and in this sense it is very important to the Qiven's Government. General Alzaa is considered the most intimate confident of the Count de Montemolin. Several medals of the Duk, de Bordeaux that were seird on him showed that. lit was also in relation with the French Legitimatists. Col. L. G. de Puente was a superior employe of the Minis tries of State and War of 1)on Caries. Some other ar rests are talked of, but they are those of obscure re fugees." _ _ The Municipal Council of Rouen, finding all its resources exhausted by the necessity it has been under of aiding the poor during the food crisis, and not knowing how to raise a loan to continue the relief which is still indispensable, to the extent, it is said, of 600,000 f., has adopted a resolution, to the effect that it is the duty of the Government and the Legis lature to find means of maintaining the poor, either, from the general revenue of the country, or by the creation of new taxes in favour of the municipality .

ITN MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QPARTER TO THREE. The Cotten market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, but the sales were only 3,000 bales. The sales of the week are 33,340 bales. The stock is 502,270 bales, against 751,060 bales at this time last year; and, upon the a huh", prices have ruled much the same as last wet-k. The Share Market was rather flat yesterday, and the prices obtained at the sale of Railway Shares, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., did not quite reach lest sale's quotations.

The Dee, however, has to take the St. Thomas's mail, and therefore many do not look for her before Wednesday. The Bank of England averages, made up for the week to the 29th uit., exhibit a further improvement. The Bank has increased its advances both upon bills of exchange and Government securities, and is yet stronger in its resources both as regards specie and reserved notes. The active circulation has been diminished a little, but this arises from the reaction after a violent pressure, and the temporary curtailment in trade generally, besides that the season of the year may have something to do with the matter- What Sir Charles Wood stated last night in Parliament removes further anxiety about the renewal of Ex chequer-bills, and so far the Money Market may be re lieved ; but people look still to the GI am Market and the potato cre;ps es one remaining source of anxiety, but which, h tie every hope, will soon be removed.

The arguments in this appeal tram a decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England occupied the Lord Chan cellor the whole morning. The question in the case re lates to a bottotnry bond on a vessel called the Tam o' Shanter, and possesses no interest except to g the parties concerned. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banc.) THE QUEEN V. GRINISHAW. This case, which related to the appointment of the coroner of Wigan, came before the Court for argument. A quo war rantu had been issued, calling upon the defendant to show by what authority he exercised the office of coroner of the borough. A person named Rogerson had been elected, but he had been deposed by a resolution of those who had elected him, and the defendant had been appointed in his stead ; hut, as he considered himself legally coroner, as he was en titled to hold it for life, unless he was guilty of any impro priety which would justify his removal, both had, there fore, acted as coroner for the borough for some years—in fact, they were rival coroners, and interfered materially with what each considered his d gties and fees, The case was tried, and a special verdict was given raising several issues, with which it now became the province of the Court to deal. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C. now contended, at some length, that Rogerson had been duly elected, and that he could not be removed from the office save for misconduct, and that Grim shaw had no right to exercise the office, as the meeting at which he was elected was rot legally called. Mr. WATSON, on the other hand, argued that the parties who appointed Rogerson were not entitled to do so, and that therefore he was an usurper, and that Grimshaw, having been duly elected, ,was entitled to act as coroner of the borough: The act of Geo. 111. referred simply to the elec- . Lion of the officers of the borough ; it did not say that a coroner was one of those officers; he was, therefore, an inde pendent officer, amenable, it was true, to the council for his conduct, but wholly independent in his functions. Quarterly meetings might be held without giving the notice which was requisite for special and other meetings. Mr. Grimshaw was elected at an adjourned quarterly meeting, which, he contended, was perfectly legal, and that no notice was re quired. Lord DEI!MAN said the most important business might be transacted at one of these adjourned meeti,gs, and surely it was too much to say that no notice was to be given of it. Mr. MARTIN replied, and The Couirr deferred its decision. The Court rose at two o'clock, in order that their Lord ships might attend in the Exchequer Chamber. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (lieture Mr. Commissioner GuIYLBURN.) IN RE DENMAN. This bankrupt, who is a sculptor, &c., in the Quadrant, came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Lewis appeared on behalf of the assignee, and also for the bankrupt. An application was made off behalf of the representa tives of the late Mr. Fluxman, the eminent sculptor, to whom the bankrupt was related, for the delivery up of cer tain mod, Is which had been in the bankrupt's possession for twenty years. It was submitted that his Honour could make an order to that effect. His HONOUR said he had no power to make any order except by consent, and he had power then under the 19th sec., 7 and 8 Vic., c. 111, an Act where it might be least expected, being an Act for winding up the affairs of joint-stuck companies. He did not even see how the Court of Review could make an order until they had had the issue tied as to whom the property be longed. Mr. FOLLETT, the official tv.signee, said that the ques tion was, wln'ther the property was nut at the dis position of the bankrupt a: the tune of his bankruptcy. It was then proposed that the models should be valued by the broker of the Court, and given up to the claimants, on depositing the value pending the inquiry. His tiotzeinit said he did not consider the broker of this Court - competent exactly to appreciate the works of Flaxman, they had better auree on u price.

This morning, shortly after one o'clock, a fire of the most alarming and destructive character broke out on the extensive premises of Messrs. Maudslay and Field, the well-known engineers, in the Westminster-road. Messrs. Maudslay's promises, as will be recollected by most persons familiar with the district, occupy an ex:.en sive frontage in the Westminster-n 4 iippnAito - workshons several hundred het in the rear, and are bounded by a narrow thoroughfare known as Gloucester-street, which latter has an outlet int Oakley-street. The fire, which was first discovered by a police-con stable, appears to have originated in an extensive range of workshops rect ntly erected, immediately abutting on Glocester-street. But a very few moments elapsed after its outbreak before the horizmn was brilliantly illumi nated tor miles in every direction, and in a very short time a number of engines arrived with a body of fire men, who set to work at once to stay the progress of the flames. Unfortunately, however, the fire had ob tained so firm a hold, that their endeavours, thwarted by a miserable lack of water, were of sirrali avail, and at three o'clock the tire was still burning. though with little fear of its advance beyond the premises on which it originated. _ _ The loss of Messrs. Maudslay must of course be fear ful. All the valuable machinery contained in works .ops covering nearly an-acre ot ground was destroyed. and a:, the fire appeared to be nearly expiring for want of turiher material, it was impossible to imegine that any thing had escaped. The refleciion caused by the fire was so great, that thou•ands of spectators congregated from all parts ot the metropolis, and the Westminster-road and its im mediate vicinity were for some time perfectly int pas.able. Mr. Superintendent Hutt, with a large body of con stabl, s, and Mr. Inspector Otwav, with a corps of men of the A divii were present; but while some of them doubliess rendered essential service to the operations of the firemci,, a large ntinab:.r were occupied in a truitless warfare with the innocuous spectators who thronged the walls to witn,ss the provress ..f the fire. ADDI rioN AL YAlt i ICULARS. SATURDAY, 10 A M. Notwithstanding that ten hours have elapsed since the fire commenced, a considerable body of flame still con tinues burning amidst the immense heap of ruins, and s.everal engines are kept at work pouring torrents of wfiter upon the same. The property that ha-. been de str, ) ed by this eltsastious event will re ach to several thousand pounds. at the lowest estimate. As to the cause of the outbri,ak. nothing that can be depended up n could be learned. It appeals that none of the workmen were engaged in any of the factories after nine o'clock last evening, and when the premises were closed they seemed perfectly frin from fire. From inquiries made of the heads of the establishment, no doubt is entertained that the outbri uk be, an in the carpenters' workshops. Police constable Col% ille, 95 L, is also of the same opt nion; he stated that he was on duty in the immediate vicinity of the premises, and whilst passing along his beat he was astonished at seeing an immense sheet of flame issuing from the carpenters' compartments. Be tore he had time to make known to any one on the pro perty what had taken place the whole range of car penters' workshops became fired from end to end. As soon as any of the hands could be summoned together, the hose belonging to the firm was carried to the fire wicks, but, although an instant supply of water was ob tained, the fire extended in 4 directions at once, so that in less than 15 tninutes atter the first discovery was made the conflagration had forced itself itfo sundry adjacent erec tions. These buildings were of considerable extent, occupying a space of upwards of one hundred square feet. Property of great worth was deposited in every part of the premises, and from the first every endeavour was made to cut the flames off before they had attacked the pattern loft. Unfortunately the exertions of the firemen were for some time of little avail, and from the carpenters' shops the fire extended to the boiler-makers' houses, and from thence to the pattern-loft an d t h e spac:ous foundry. At two o'clock the scene presented was one of indescribable brilliancy—the whole of tiie metropolitan steeples were illuminated, and the public thoroughfares were rendered as light as at noon d ay. The firemen kept to their posts, they entered the blazing floor with the branches in hand, and were engaged dis charging water upon the flames until they were com pletely hedged in with the fire. On several occasions the scaling ladders were forced to be brought into requi sition. So rapidly did the flames progress, that they were forced to retreat down the ladders to escape being burnt to death. At one ti m e the whole of Oakl e y. street, Burdett-street, Francis - street, and the Westinin • ster-road, for some distance on eith , r side of M essrs. Maudslay's were rendered impassable immenseby theit was crowd of persons who had been t dr e aw policen together to witness the prove ss of the con flagration.

The following is ai.other, alAd tl.e latest, account sen us by a corresponcl.nt:— Shortly after one o'clock this morning, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character, broke out at the ws• nufacory of \fau,islay, Sons, and Field, the well-known engineers. Their premises occupy an extensive frontage in the Westminster-road, opposite the Female orp han, Asylum, and .•ationd several hundred feet in t he rear, sae covet-in,: altogether between five and six acres. The fire, which was first discovered by a policennini appears to have originated in ar extensive range d building in the rear, running parallel with Glou cester street, but not the new premises abut tin g few Goa it , ~1 1 11 stated in several of this m ornin g 's papers, which are very slightly damaged. A very moments only elapsed after its outbreak b e fore OW h rect horiznn was brilliantly illuminated in every diions and in a v, ry short time several of the fire engindence nes sr, rived with a body of firemen, under the superinte to stay of Mr. Braidwood, who immediately set to work the progress of the flames, in which endeavour n tiler were ably assisted by the workmen employed i the inanuf4ctory, who had as sembled on the r in g in g of the factory bell. Unfortunately, howev er, the fire had by this nine male such progress, and the supply of Iva!!! was so small, that the flames were not at all subdued wl about half-past three o'clock, at which time they we re still raging, though without much ri sk of their spr ead' ing beyond the premises then on fire. The loss to Messrs. Maudslay and Field must of course he very great, but we were happy to learn, on inquirt that it will be of a pecuniary character only, for . t 0 premises which are destroyed do not comprise the vice" lofts or turner), which centain the principal machie or the erecting-shops, in which the machinery un der m anufacture is erected, but are confin ed to the carpen I : tent' shop, part of the pattern-lofts, boiler -shops, W_ part of the forge. shops, which contained noes, ols or machinery that cannot be replaced in a very of e e k_s_ and it is satisfactory to know that the premises war; insured, and that no stoppage will take OW in works. ___.......
