But what is the disap pointment when, with one solitary exception from beginning to end of his two vo:uines, rot one sings argument, deduced from the Scriptures, either by himself or the Falters, is brought for ward in defence of Popery. We sometimes meet a soLitary text quoted or . perverted,—several passages blasphemously ridiculed, or adduced wito an indecent mockery which none but a slave of Popery or a votary of infidelity could dare to exercise,—but nothing that even ahects the setnb.anre of art argument, save one on the Eucharist, deduced from the tith chapter of St..fohn's Gospel, which we shall examine in its place, and which he re iterates with a pertinacity of self-sufficient triumph that only proves how ontenub,e must, be the wretched superstition which he endeavours to defend,—what indeed does the very primii facie evidence of the case exhibit? Here is a thing called system or Christiauity. Here is a man who sits down to write a defence of all its doctrines. Be profsses to take the whole of the Bible, an,t all those who expounded it for tour centuries. to aid Min in his vindication of it,—and what does he produce front the sacred volume? One solitary chapter is the sum total on which he even dares to hazard an argument or to challenge au inves,igation ! What must any man conclude ? Either that the system is utter.y irleconciieable with Christianity, or that this writer is the most contenviole coutrovercialist that ever attempted to write a line in its defence. Both indeed are true. The.'e is ne work on the Popish -controversy extant in which there is not a more reputable effort to give a gloss of Scriptural authority to the superstitious . of Rome: Moore ac knowledges the necessity of this iu the principle with which he sets out; but his total epo,:tacy from his principle evinces not only the untenable nature of his super-titian on that ground, but that he is unable to make even an -effort to defend it; and when he informs us th 4 he sets out upon his travels with the Bih.e for his guide, and We find, when he has got to the end of his journey, not outs that he has not taken a single step by its direction, but left it entirety behind him, he is like a mariner who professed to have mane a careful provision of every neces sary for his voyage, and Was discovered I eddy. to fouuder in the high seas, without sun or stars in the heavens, or chart or com pass in the ship. ac • The pare abstract question is--" are the prhiciples of the Ch,tich ,y - * Rome cufifi, motil e to that word which slte herself' admits to be divinely inspied or not?" 't his, as we have shown, is the princip!e Moore sets out with, and to determine , this priuciptE—to find a religion pure as the fountain, he re,o.ves to study the sacred volume, with the aids of the writings of its first expounders, as he cal.s them, so that text and comment might, by such juxta-position, throw light on each other. Now Co reason with any common propriety on any subject, much less on one so solemn and important as this, Mr. Moore shou,d have•conducted his readers to thiS conclusion, that hay ing studied the Scrip.utes, and compared the principles of the Popish Church with them in such and such sei ies of particu lars, which series ought to have constituted the body of his he had come to this conclusion, that the p.incip.es of the Pop's° Church were cox - aid:mat/le to the Sciiptures and consecpent.y pure and genuine Christianity, and, therefore, being, tu search of a tieagion he should. adopt this one as the true Religion of Christ. But . wit 7 t is Mr. Moore's conclusion ? Let any human being capable or appreciating an argument compare the principle with which he sets out in the - 12,h page of his first volume with the conclusion at which he arrives in the close of his second. lie sets out to ascertain the truth of his religion by'compar ing it with the Sacred Scripturesaud the writings of the Fathers e and the conclusion to winch he comes is—that thice of th Gospels are spurious, nay, that none of books of the New Testament are inspired (fur this is his statement, compare p 337 with note - p. 191, vol. '2O and that it every letter of it were in the bottom of the sea the piincip.es aria authority of his Church would be totally unaffected by its destruction !! ! Now what,. on his own principles, can he inure unutterably absurd? lt, indeed, Popery can stand independent of the Scriptures, why assume •• the study of the Sucted L'ufteme" as necessary to de,ermine the truth of Popery ? and if that volume is n,essary to determine the truth of Popery, how can he pos sibiy arriv.: at the conclusion that Popery would be unaffeezed by its total destruction ? _ . 'This is merely considering the question . in a logical point of view; but when we examine the nature of his principies, it is impossible to decide whether we feel more disgust at their wickedueSs or their foliv. He tiistlays it down as a fact—that criticism has made " the strange and startling discovery" " that the three,first Gospels are but ttanscriptions Jim some older documents, and nut the ?cooks of the writers whose names they bear," and .asserts that this is calculated to strike consternation into Protestants who find their sole role of faith thus unsettled. When we, who are a litt.e more sceptical of this criticism, however formidable, than of these saute three GO6pe.S which it has so conc.usiv,Ay. subverted, begin to enquire where are we to find it ? who ate these redoubtable critics who . have - so up set the found itions of our faith ? as Mr. Moore •gives us uo reference to then here, we find our question solved in this second vo.ume of our author's travels, p.p. 19;) 191, and we take this opportunity of introducing to our readers another fea ture of his pi oduction. For the purpose of proving that the riOt of appealing to the Word of God in defiance of the tyranny of the Church of Ithine, which he nicknames raiumali..m, necessarily leads to neology or infidelity, Mr. Moore professes to have gone in his bawls to Germany, and t o have a ttended lectures the University of Gottengen, under preten c e of prosecuting his search after a ragion. He is here introduced to a certain professor of th.2o,ogy. or rather of ne o.ogv, whom he names Scratches). bach, iii plain English •Scratcnidg back, a very appropriate ap pellation, mil - lying the agreement of tnutual - and tesponsive assistance between Pop.iry and intidelitv,4 whose co tyeration in attacking th e Bible is well 11.ustrated by the vulgar adage— " scratch my back an d PH scratch f rours." Mr. Moore lays such stress on the aid of this Professor that he emp.oys no less than seven chapters, amounting to It 5 pages, in a lecture which he su pp oses t o h ave b een d e .iveted by his leaned and we will venture to assert, that a more stupid drawling tirade of ma!evoient infidelity MIS never yet composed—if Satan were iistening to it in a butona -folio, we think it diffi cult to decide whether the stapidLy would oWrio the cumin 0 a , to put him to seep, or the venous the stupidity so as to keep him awake. ST'COND ETATIO Standard Office, Three &clock. The German papers which reached London yesterday folly confirm the previous report that the Russian troops had evacuated Constantinople. The unhappy Sul:an, however, is entirely at the mercy of the Autocrat, who has p .,- !rsuatled him to forbid the entrance of the English fleet, under the command of Sir Pulteney Malcolm, into the Black Sea. Thus it appears that in every quarter of the world the Councils of Great Britain are treated with contumely. The flag of Nelson is not permitted to pass the Dardanelles, and we suppose ere long it will be deemed an offence to car►y it through the Gut of Gib raltar. How are the mighty fallen! CORN EXCHANGE.

The capital and nearly the whole of Portugal may now be said to be, if not aactu ally under the dominion, certainly at the mei cy of foreign pirates and English adventurers. The troops which Captain T‘IAPIEtr landed in the Algarves consisted chiefly of French and Briiish mercenaries—men of desperate fortune—the scum of the gaols-4he sweepings of every haunt of infamy in Paris and London ; and with these wretches Count ITILL.A. FLOR marched upon Lisbon, broke open the prisons, added some two or three thousand vagabonds more to his forces, hoisted the revolutionary, vulgarly called the constitutional flag, and proclaimed Donna MARIA Queen of Portugal. - - - _ It will be observed that VILLA FLOR entered Lisbon with some fifteen hundred men only. Tile march from Lagos to the capital is about seventy miles, and his route lay through a populous part of the kingdom ; but we find that he entered with his original retinue of scamps and plunderers, not a single native of the country, whom he did not press, having joined his standard. This shows that the inhabitants have yet made no demonstrations favourable to Don l'Enno. They consider the aftliir in the light of a British invasion ; and we have no doubt that the Count so represented it to be, thereby impress ing the natives with a belief that as British soldiers are invincible, all resistance was vain. What Marshal BoußmoNT is doing before Oporto we have 'vet to learn, as no authentic accounts of his move ments have yet been received. It has, however, been reported that he had raised the siege which, seeing the state of affairs, is not improbable. Whether he will march upon the metropolis and endeavour to regain what is lost, or decide the contest in one grand struggle, re mains to be seen. It is calculated that he has still about twenty thousand men in the vicinity of Oporto. The Duke de CADAVAL, one of the ablest of the Portuguese nobles, and himself nearly allied to the throne, left Lisbon at the head of three or four thousand men. With these and the guerillas Don MIGUEL might still muster a pow erful force, and if the • soldiers could be depended on, there would be little difficulty in retaking the city. If this, however, cannot be done, and I)on PEDRO he per mitted to take quiet possession, then will begin the more terrible struggle fur the spoil. The mercenaries will not be content with a stinted compensation for their infamous services. They will not be satisfied with barren titles m honours. They will demand sGme hard cash, or, if this be not forthcoming, they will perhaps make a division of the land, and become for the future the wine growers of England—the manufacturers of light port for the citizens of London. At all events, Portugal is A ruined country. The damage done by this invasion will not. be repaired by the labours of the next. ten years. England, the "ancient. ally" of Portugal, during the reign of WILLIAM the FOURTH, and the Whig administration, has had the dis tinguished honour of being the secret abettor of this aggression and calamity. Our national renown has been tarnished by this foul blot on our shield of arms. Instead of sheltering the weak, and maintaining justice in a foreign cause, according to solemn treaties, she has play ed the money game of Lours PHILIP, and fanned the flames of revolution which it. will take • years to subdue. If Portugal is to be constitutionalised, so also must Spain. It is impossible that revolutionary principles can be re stricted within an ideal line ; they must excite discon tents in the adjacent kingdom ; and if they do, France, perhaps, will do as much for the one nation as she has done for the other. • • The Lords have thrown out. the Jew Bill in order to evince their independence, having a few days previously passed the Church Robbery , Bill, to prove that they had very little of that. quality to spare. The reasons given against. the poor Jews, who, by the way, are as loyal a body of men as any in the kingdom, were, that by ad mitting them to Parliament the character of that honour able assembly would be dischristianised. This is al very well for an hypothesis; but it has but a . sorry look in practice. The characters .of some of the men who figure in the reformed Parliament might have con vinced even the Lords that any fur:her dilution of their respectability, or their Christian principles, was impos sible. They, however, know best, and we care not three straws whether they are right or wrong. The house that contains O'CONNELL and his tail, COBRETT and his squire, MARK PHILIPS and some fifty Socinians, is•not a house worth fighting about. "Throw physic to the dogs as Sir SAMUEL .WHALLEY says. We perceive that all the mongrels and turnspits of the Liverpool press have, during the last few days, been barking at Mr. YATES for his honourable and manly ad vocacy of the Liverpool freemen. This comes of any gentleman being suspected of having any latent connec tion with the Whig party. When Mr. YATES is com peled by a sense of justice to ta!•e the side of the vilified and injured burgesses, it is a proof that their cause ex cites the generosity of an honourable mind, otherwise, perhaps, opposed to them on political grounds. The Whigs, however, will allow of no medium. Their adhe rents must be thick and thin, or nothing. But Mr. YATES is not a man to be dinned out of his conviction by mounte • banks, or overawed into silence by the sneers of a faction whose machinations he abhors, and whose injustice he has thus publicly condemned. His conduct reflects on him the highest credit, and must insure the admiration of all those who can estimate honourable motives. The conduct. of the adVoCates for disfranchising the freemen of Liverpm I is in perfect, keeping with the ef forts and clamour of the Whig faction to which they belong. It ,has been, in the late procce,dingsparticularly, characterised by a total disregard of truth, and a 'shame less perseverance in dishonesty. Inconsistency in a mo dern liberal is considered a venial, bemuse it is a doily besetting sin. .We do not, therefore, limit our charge against them to inconsistency, seeing that it isnot deemed a vice in the man, or a fault in the patriot. We go be yond inconsistency, and openly accuse them of disho nesty and gross perfidy',—of first flattering the reformer s and then betraying them,—of extolling their purity and patriotism, and then turning informers and swearing away the rights and liberties of the duped and victimised burgesses! This, we admit, is a grave charge to bring against any class of men, but doubly grave when broug,ht against persons w.ho call. themselves the friends of the people, the apostles of liberty, the advocates of truth and justice. Serious, however, as the charge undoubtedly is, we are ready to substantiate it upon grounds which will not bear cavilling, and by a host of witnesses whose testimony cannot he questioned or disputed. In one word, we shall substantiate this grave charge out of the mouths of the implicated parties—by the puritans themselves! We have before us a copy of a newspaper called the Liverpool Mercurg, of date the 6th May, 1931. It con tains a long report. of the proceedings of the election at that period, when General GASCOYNE WAS defeated, and Messrs. EWART and DENtsoN were returned. It also contains the speeches of the candidates and their frieOds, in which we find the burgesses are complimented i n t h e highest terms for their purity, honesty, and indep en d ence . The very men that have raked every dark lane, and every Obscure and disreputable pot-house, in order to procure evidence to degrade the freemen, were then the lOndest in their praise, and why ? solely because these freemen had, during the mania of reform, been induced to desert their old friends, and return to Parliament a gentleman whose conduct has disappointed their expectations,—who has abused their confidence, betrayed their trust, and ren dered himself for ever worthless and contemptible. That get3flenyin is Mr. LW ART ! He Wag. returned by the freemen in 1t:31.,-anct for this 'distinguished hoover ) to -• '". i' T.._:a';<<: A: .:.~.IM ~_ !Li;Tr .J.. .:.

The Mercury reports Mr. E. RUSHTON to have spoken as follows : " He implored the friends of Mr. Evart and Mr. Denison to sink all petty jealousy, and exert themselves to the utmost in the endea vour to return two reform memlwrs. (Loud cheers.) By so doinq, the freemen would restore Their character in the eyes ej the nation, and pre,erre to themselres that portion of the franchise which must be taken from them if the reform bill were not carried." Our very honest and consistent contemporary proceeds to state, that. on the arrival of Mr. EWART*S party at the Ade . lphi, Mr. EWART appeared at the balcony, and ad dressed the multitude in the following terms : " Gentlemen, if ever in some distant place, I hare heard the name of Liverpool uttered with disrespect—if ever I have heard imputed to the place, faults originally imputable to the system of parliament ary and ma;isterial elections here, those moments of great pain and anxiety are now repaid; our character is palliakd—il is redeemed! To whom is that redemption owing ? To THE SPOT_ NEOLS SUF.. FR WES OF THE FREEMEN ! Mr. EWART, in another speech, is again reported to have said : " I again repeat, what I said last night, that to the freemen of this great town, who hare redeemed their tarniJed character, we are in debted for the means and instruments by which we have achieved this immortal triumph." M r . W. CurnuE next comes forward, and is made to sav had expressed his conviction, that the freemen of Liverpool would redeem their character and act in such a manner as to cast a veil over all that had passed. Tea RESULT HAD VERIFIED MS PRE DICTION ; and he felt assured that, in the London papers, no place in the kingdom would receive such just, such general, and such DESERVED AITLAUsr, as the town of Lirerpool !" Mr. WM. EARLE is next reported to have favoured the freemen with his testimonial of their integrity. He says, " It had been asserted in Vie House of Commons, that Liverpool was the most pure of all boroughs. (if laugh.) This assertion, which was not true at the time it was made, was true now. The electors of Liverpool had shown that they were both pure and independent. Now they stood ire-eminent for patriotism and principle. They stood, in short, on the pinnacle of independence, of honesty, and patriotism. (Cheers.) He most sincerely congratulated them on the glorious re sult of the election. The conduct of the free:nets, on this occasion, had done them immortal honour; the fame of their achievement over cor ruption would resound to the utmost extremities of the empire. (Cheers.) The triumph had been the triumph of purity, of honesty, and independence! !" Mr. F. JORDAN follows Mr. EARLS : he is made to say : " He also gloried in the triumph of the freemen, who had nobly re. deemed their character for purity, independence, and trite palriotism." Mr. RUSHTON again makes his appearance, and his second panegyric is still more lofty and unmeasured than his first. He bursts out like a five hundred horse power engine in the following thunder—Mercury, as before, being the bearer of it:— " Mr. Rushton said, that this was the first time he ever had to con gratulate the reformers of Liverpool, and that he could not express the feelings which were swelling in his bosom of admiration for the mode in which the codext had been conducted, and, above all, for the glorious result. It was totally impossible for him to find language sufficiently strong to express his respect FOR THE MANLY, THE !SDP:- PENDENT, TIIE PURE CONDUCT OF lIIS BROTHER FREEMEN SINCE THE POLLING COMMENCED ON TUE NEW SYSTEM. This town had, on all past occasions, been split into factions and parties, in'which the man was every thing, the principle nothing. The freemen had abandoned, at la: t, their al habits rf corruption, and with them he hoped they would, forgetting men, fix their attention, in future, on principle alone. Their triumph would carry gladness into every heart which full for its country. All the work had been done by the freemen themselves." A Mr. JOHN TAYLOR is next reported to have said The freentm of Li terponl hand noh'y supported the King." _ _ Mr. HEYWOOD is presented as the next orator on this interesting•oecasion, and the following words are put into his mouth : • " The cause of reform had triumphed this day in Liverpool. The result of the election was so triumphant that it would be the polar star to direct all other elections; and he was fully persuaded that the electors of Liverpool had, in the estimation of the public, wiped away all the asperv' o n s and epithets which had hitherto Ipen cast upon them. (Cheers.) They ka com:iletely redeemed tkir eharact2r. .rTh influence lad been exerted, but that of a due regard to the interests of the nation and the advancement of the general welfare !" Mr. COGLAN seconds Mr. HEYWOOD thus : " In a former instance there was some extenuation for the cornhie, of the freemen : had they acted in like manner now there would have been none. (Cheers.) If any fle!;radation still remained attached to their character they had m,Uy redeemed throw:fres from the Wpm? by their conduct on the preseet cceasitm. They had fully established their character as HONEST AND INDEFENDENT MEN 117 placing the two re form candidates, Messrs. Ewart and Denison, in a triumphant situa tion at the head of the poll." The whole affair is wound up by an old woman, like a witch of the olden time, adding her incantation to the po litical spell. Twaddle has its uses sometimes. and we therefore have tuna pleasure in republishing the senti ments of Mr. EGERTON SMITH, reported by himself:— " Mr. Egerton Smith congratulated the freemen of Liverpool on their glorious achievements of that day in support of a great public principle, by which they had prored thentseln?s 'WORTHY OF THE RIGHTS OF FREEMEN. One con§canence of their very proper betariour on this occasion ought to he a petition from the inhabitants of the town gene rally TO DEPRECATE THE D I S FRANCHISEMENT OF TIIR DUPOE3SES. and if such a petition were proposed, he had no doubt it would be very nuaterausly signed, and that it :could he:wee:VW in its ()Ned ! ! Now, reader, throwing all party predilections over board, and contrasting the sentiments above expressed with those recently uttered in Liverpool and the House of Commons—contrasting the praise with the censure — the truth with the calumny—the triumph of the reformers with the defeat of the reformers, or 1831 with 1833 contrastin g these wide an d oppos i te shades, we beg to ask ify ou ever witnessed conduct, on the part of public men, more disgraceful, more perfidiou s , more factious, or more dishonest ? The prai se lavished upon the free men fir returning " two reformers" in 1831, is un bounded. They are represented as the purest and most independent body of electors in the whole kingdom — they are said to have redeemed their character—to have Wiped away past aspersions —t o stand upon the highest pinnacle of honesty and patriotism. And by whom was all this said and sung ? By the very men who have, during the present session of Parliament, held them up as the most demoralized, degraded, and corrupt. wi etches in England—as men unfit to act oonestiv—as unworthy of trust—and who merit instant disfranchisement as a punishment for past errirs, and for mer delinquencies. If ever there was a factious question, that which Messrs. lixrunoNE and Co. have raised is one. The facts we have stated clearly prone, that had Mr. THORNELY been t turn e d a t the Li Lit contest, n o t a word would have been heard about cit'oPtion. If he and his friends had been allowed to ride upon the necks of the burgesses, there would have been no charge brought against them. The triumph of the faction would have hush e d i n t o si l ence a ll past offences, and the 'reform bill would then ha ;LI been considered an act of amnesty and oblivion. They, how ev.er, were defeated. The freemen returned Lord SAN DON. TurraiEny and RATHBONE spent their money and wasted their oratory in vain ; and then began the " ‘var to the knife" against the men whom they had seduced once, and not. being able to seduce the second time, they would now destroy. While the burgesses voted for re rfmloiromeerns they :s t. daredto h Th e ir s tk t fur I he in o i l i s n e a l c v . , t e rl s a , t a e n ; (re b x u e t re t i l s i e e their own judgment, they were held up to ignominy, and menaced with disfranchisement. We • kliow it will 'be said that. the burgesses accepted bribes in 1832. It has-been so said; hut. we deny that the charge has been proved. A person of the name of ABER CROMBIE saw a five pound note given to a voter, and being a sharp sighted person, he saw the transaction through the body of another man ; and a lady of the name of ROBIN . soN saw som e three sovereigns and a half given to a child, but she had sworn, she said, not to divulge who was the briber or who the bribee. There were also some few half-crowns seen to exchange hands, and various tan kards of ale were administered on the same occasion ; hut as to-general bribery there was no proof whatever. The case was only rotten on the part of the petitioners, and so rotten was it, , that the committee did not recommend any furthe r proceedings. In what a position then do Messrs. LWART, RATIIBONE, RUSHTON, EARLE, HEY WOOD, and ethers before-mentioned stand, who exoner ated the burgesses in 1831, who declared that they had triumphantly redeemed their character, but which' bur gesses they have recently persecuted and slandered in the most cruel and vindictive manner ? If these men had any feelings of shame, they wculd fur ever seclude themselves from the public gaze. They stand convicted by their own confessions. Out of their own mouths are they condemned. They have lent. themselves, volun tarily, to do the dirty work of a disappointed faction. They make war upon poor men, to avenge the soured ambition of a discumfited candidate, who is an alien in Liverpol, and who is no more qualified to represent the interests of this great community in Parliament than Mr. RusturoN is to he Lord High Chancellor of England. Mr. LWART'S conduct however is still more reprehen sible than that of his more reckless compeers. He too exonerated the freemen in 1831, and declared that their conduct in returning him (the more fools they,) had done theM infinite honour, and had redeemed their character. He did - nOt upenly enter the. ranks against them—he did not vote for their disfranchisement, to he did not happen to be cute of the ,weica conuaittee—he.did not libel theta ill 'the HOnse, as ItITAsOs; 13 ZErT, • and • Pirtui4 .l tlid but he was the secret, the artful, and the sneaking enemy of the freemen nevertheless: . 6-ratitude would have induced any other man to take part with the burgesses, bat he was too much identified with his faction, eitaer to be impelled by gratitude or a sense of justice. No e;.- case whatever can be made for him ; his whole conduct is mean, treacherous, .disingenuous; arid that Mr. Lwakr will be told, in far plainer terms than we write it, if he should ever again have the audacity to present himself before the electors of Liverpcol.

On Saturday night last, a litt.e before twelve o'clock, one of the watch wen, on duty in ScoLand-road, observed an appearance of tire in the thud nom of a flour warehouse, beanignig, to Mr. John Fail bust, who carries on the business of a baker in the lower part of the buil hug, the shop having been open a few ininices before. The alarm was inztanttv given; but, before anything, in the way of p reven t ion cou l d be done, the Hawes burst out through toe windows tvi.h fury. They quickly reached the upper story, and showed themselves through the toot: =the warehouse being considerably higher than the surrounding haimings, the mire had an aiarining appearance. The iuuabt tants of the adjoining houses instantly took the alarm, and commenced removing their goods and furniture, while Mr. ho hefts, who owned toe timber yard and joiner's shop next the euip..oyed men to convey his property to a place of safety. 'Tie fire-engines were promptly on the spot ; and, though there was, for a few minutes, some delay in procuring water, it is oniy right to add, that we do not recooect any fire at which there was a inure abundant supply, the principat sup i Ly being from the Beotle Waterworks. 's tie Lxchaiwe engine was the first on the z,: , mnd, and rend ered m o st essential service. The Norwich Union engine followed; the Sun next; and these were quick:) , succeeded by the Manchester and the Imperial. Before the turneocks arrived, Mr. Owen, of the Castle mills, willingly afforded all the water on his premises, and this tem porary supply served to prevent the ex,ension of the lire to his own mills aul the dwe.liug-houses opposite. In the meantime., the ife.fp.e had got out most of their furni ture; Mr. Fairhurst's flour had hem conveyed to a waggon, and a large quantity of Mr. ltoberis's dews and were carried into the streets, By twelve o'clock the entire loot of the ware house was on lire, and at half-past twelve it felt in, sending up in its fall a terrific and sudden boat , of flame. The warehouse, we ough,t to have previously in:iumued, was situated on the east side of Scotland-road, exactly opposite l'epper-street. It ex tended into Meadows -street, having Mr. liouerts's timbet-yard on the south, and several dwellni-tin uses on the north, between it and Pepper -street. There walnut, we undeistaud, much pro perty in it, and, as it seemed slightev built, apptehensions were ear.y.fett for the strength of the wails. The people who were engaged in icinoving the property from Mr. Itooerts's yard were repeatedly warned by sonic of the Captains of the Watch to desist, as the high slue watt above the yard looked particu.arly dangerous. Several wisely took the advice so thoughtfully but seine unfortunate men, we regret to say, persevereu ill retaining their pieces either in or on the verge of the sawpit. At about twenty minutes after one, the interior of the ware house had hearty burnt out, and, as the end to Meadows-street was very narrow, and the walls very high, the aspect it pie seated was very threatening. Still several men remained in the yard, whiie others continued to view the tire from the routs • of low dweding-huuses on the south side of the timber-yard. At twenty-five minutes after one the tall side wall was per, eived to give way : the cry of " "l'is coining!" was given, anu alt tied with the exception of some men who welt, in or on the sawpit, and (mite man on the roof of it, who had nut time to escape be fore the wa.l lea forward with a most ti emendons crash, extend ing across the yard, ant carrytug with it the joiner's shop, the rig of the sawpit, atm the sine wail of the adjoining dweidnie house. The crash was so heavy, and the sound so dismal, that they were distinctly heard by ate people in bed in the upper part of Everton. The crowd Mea d ows-street gave a 54:1 Cain of horror, but it was not known in Scotland-road for sonic mi nutes that any one had been bulled is the ruins. Several who had escaped ft oin the roofs through the public-house asserted, that all had escaped; but we lament that they deceived them selves,*for there were no less than six feitow-cleatufes but icd in the ruins. The fact was known to Mr. Parlour, who, on the dust subeiding, rushed in with others, and instantly commenced removing the !alien mul6ish, bricks, and timber In a few mi n:des the cry f.oni one underneath was heard, and soon after a dead body was visibie. They now redoubled their efforts, and • a man's head was soon teleasea from the rubbish. To the de light of ail present, he breathed and spike. Water was pro cured, and he looked wildly around him; still, his whole person was buried in the ruins, and when, with great mificulty, a por tion of the bricks ant dust were 'moored from his chest, it was discovered that a large heavy piece of timber lay right across his thighs. Several efforts to remove this in a speedy manner proved ineffectual, and udimately a saw was procumrd, and it was sawed across between his le e s. Ropes wee then las.ened to it, and several men puLed but it woual not yield. Mr. Par our and his assistants, however, pei severed ; •and, after labouring for an hour and a half, they had the satismeion to lift the poor Mall limn his pet Loos situation. A door haying been procured, he was cart led into the Coach and Horses pub lic-house, Seotland-road, and Mr.' Superintendent Whoty having Previously seemed the assistance of Mr. Ackerley, surgeon, of Great Hoinei-steer, who humanely and pi ocaptly attended, the poor man, under toe came of al anti Mt. Bradshaw, Captains of the Watch, was carefully conveyed to the infirmary, whet e, we are glad to hear, hers doing %vett, with every prospect of a speedy iecovery. At first, it was thought that his legs were crushed; but fortunately, they were on-Y greatly bruised. His name is William hey es, mid lie bore his sufferings with the utmost composine. His wife having been admitted to see him, he said, •' Cheer up, lass ! soon be weE." It is only right to state, that he is indebted for his life to time personal exertions of Mr. Parlour, whose humanity and labour on this occasion entitte him to more than urutuary praise. The safety of this man having been secured, the search after the other men was continued With great zeal. Two bouies wele found on removing Her es, and these were conveyed into the same 'mink-house. Another than was found not far from where they ; and at tour o'c.ock another was taken out. 'these unfortunate men apreated as if they had been caught just as they were hurrying funn the sawpit, and one of them lay across the plank that served to rest the timber on. 'The sawpit was on the extreme south of the yard, and almost six feet below it another body was found within a few inches of the surface. it was dreadfully bruised, and was, no doubt, the per son who sat o t the roof. The features of the otheis were flieht fmly disfigured, black and sworn. Their nalms were as fotlows, and they are put down in the order in which they were, taken out :—Joseph Swinnertun, a turtle); James M'bougall, a bookbinder; Seth Jones, a brick laver; John ktriataltlßoliert Perkitt, a cabinet-maker; anti a inan unknown. M`Dougall was foreman with Mr. Thomas Taylor, of thistle-street, in whose empary he had been for t thtee years, a fact which bespeaks his excellent character. he was thirty•thur years of age, and hasleft a wife and one Oriel. Seth Jones, we are tined, was a burgess, and had buried his wife that eery tray. Peppot was also a ticeman, and has lett a wile anti two infant chitorcu. Ile was so dreadfutte disfigured that even his grandfather, one of the jury, did not know lmo. A female relative knew him by his shirt. On Sunday morning Mr. Holmitson Gladstone attended with a coroner's jury to view the bodies, after which they were given up to their relatives, with the exception of the unknown body, which was conveyed to the Dead-house. As alt these unfortu nate men have left helpless families it is to be hoped that their wt vcs and children will experience the benevolent e of the public, who will not be slow to come forward, should a subset iption be opened. All the engines having been brought to bear on the fire, it was compleiely got under before filleee o'clock, and entirely ex. ting,uishen by six. Ihe Impeliol, however, remained on the ground all - day on Sunday. The firemen deserve p; a ise for their effective services, and Mr. Whdebouse exerted himself most latlab.y during the entiie night. Owing to We arrangements made by Mr. Superintendent Whitty, the best possible order was everywhere preserved, and the crowd showen no disposition to offer any annoyance to the Watch or their officers, who remained on duty until lialf-past eight yesterday mottling. llis worship the Mayor, accompanied by Mr. T. B. Horsfall and Mr. Hobert Horsfatt, was on the ground soon after the com mencement of the tire. Ile gave the necessary directions, in spected the different points, and did not 'care nail all fears of lutther mishief wet e removed. Since writing the above, we'have been told, that another body was fonnd on :-..tanlay evening, making seven in all, in additicu to the man sent to the Infirmary. Our readers will, we ate convinced, read with pleasure the advertisement in another part of our c.olmuns, announ ci n g th e opening of a s ub sc iiption tar the reet of the wid o w s an d ail.

(Numerous signatu) es follow.) FINE SPECIMEN OF A REFORMER. (From the Johfi Bull.) A circumstance has transpired within these few days which has riven rise to much conversation and conjectuli., and to -whit% we consider it our duty especially to refer. It has been pretty generally stated that Sir John Key, one of the members for the city, had gut the government contract for stationery, and had therefore rendered himse.f inetigib,e to sit in the Housa of Coannons. It turns out, however, that al tho rgli Sir John Key actual.y manages the business connected with the con:l.:let—bays the paper, and sendsitto the stationery office in his own carts, and is 'nursed' in attendance there, it is not he who took the contract, but Mr. Jonathan Rey, a book seller, late of Gloucestershire, and supposed to be a brother of ' the•baronet, fur whom, out of pure kiiiuuess and affection. Sir John takes alt the troul.oe we have desoohed. All this, how ever, is matter of evidence fur the House of Commons, and we do not propose to touch it. It appears that the storekeeper of the stationery-office, a Mr. Laurence, was charged with the duty of inspecting the articles furnished, and 'night on his own judgment rec eive or 'eject such as he thought fi t or unfit for the service. His eon was the boy whom Sir John Key presented to the Blue Coat School, and whom, for reascns Cest known to them, the governors chose not to ieceive upon Sir John's presentation. Mr. Laurence, it seems, as soon as the contract was se ttl e d, ekpressed a wish to retire from his t , ffice of Storekeeper, and having communicated that. wish . to,Sir Juhu Key, Sir John ry stated, to h a e r e amount o inspect u to f appied immediately for the situation for his son. File ditties of the ofn q c i e t'a t s y w o e , a f h l e t stationery and decide upon the i:100.000. to be supplied to the Govertinrent. When Sir John made the application to Lord Glev, his Lordship asked how old the yo ung gent,fman was? John replied, that he was eighteen. The Premier said he thought he was too young, but teferied the matter to Mr. Church— the Comptioller of the Office, who reported that a boy of eighteen could not perfoun the duties ( whether Mr. Chur;:h anickd that that Sir ..If,hu Key, the father, was the person actually execut ing the contract, we know not). Lmd Grey conniunicated Mr. Church's report to Sir John, who with wondeiful prrsence of mind, said—`• Then, my Lord, I will ask the appointment for my eidest son, who is neatly two-and-ltrotty." To this son the orrice was given, and Mr. Kingsmill Key forthwith entered upon the arduous duty of examining the articles which were to be sent in ; but, after he had held the sit nation about thtee weeks, it Untied out that he was the ident;ral individual for whom his father had jitst asked the 'dare; end that he was not two-and-twenty; nor near it, but was, as he had first been represented by his parent, EIGHTEEN. The thing made a noise, and the lad has been dismissed;—but this is net the point for the' consideration of the Ministers who made . lk/ r. Key a Baronet for lighaing up London on the success of the Reform It ought to he known that no person can he a Liveryman of the Stationers' Company unfit he has attained the age of twenty , one : Sir John Key felt, therefore, that it would be a matter of first-rate importanje to get his boy of e ightee n made a Lively_ man, which, from the notoriety of the regulation respecting the required age of the Liverymen, would at once put an end to th e doubt of his sou's having attained his majority, and being n-arty twenty-two. For this purpose Sir John Key wrote a let ter to Mr. Greenhill. the Treasurer and Clerk of the Stationers' Company, which follows : " Abchureh-lane, Ju! y 13, 1873. "Dear Sir,—My son HAVING ATTAINEDI HE AGE 0 . 1 7 TY-ONE YEA liS about ,fire months since, %%:111 you oh:ige sue by informing me whether he can take up his Live l y in our Com pany, although the term of his apprenticeship is not vet com pleted, as he was not bound till some years af t e r th e p i op . er t i me —Dear Sir, tin.y yours, " JOHN KEY.

'Who is the mother of that s o n? We ask this question, be. cause we believe him to be the ton of Lady Key. the Imuour- able baronet's wife. Such being the caFe„ remit us to submit a copy of the certificate of the marriage of the honourable bart. with his said lady:— " Page 215.
