Sir Robert Peel said that " the battle of the Constitution must be fought at the registries ;" but Lord John brings new armies into the field. He has joined in upsetting agricultural relations which were, at least, understood; and landlord and tenant are common sufferers. He has upset com mercial relations, so that the calculations which were true for lives, now end in beggary and ruin. He must interfere with political regulations also. He finds "in the lowest deep a lower deep," for the franchise is to be possessed by £5 householders in boroughs, and reduced in counties from £5O to £2O, or from £lO to £5, according to circumstances. He looks upward as well as downward, however, and offers us what the lawyers call a " set off," by admitting to the right of voting those who pay 40s. a year in Income Tax, or assessed taxes. As the former sum represents an annual income of less than £7O a year, we presume that it is in tended to apply mainly to military and naval officers, clergymen whose salary depends in whole or in part upon public funds, and persons of that class. The men of intelligence who will be brought in, will be about as one to a hundred of those drawn up from the ranks. Now, without reference to the effect of this legislation upon classes, it must be clear that the franchise should not descend below the classes that think on poli tical subjects; for those who never read news papers, or rarely do so, are at the bidding of a leader, whether he be a landlord's agent or a Chartist demagogue. These are the men to turn a scale in a close contest ; to be bought and sold like an ox in Smithfield ; and to prove the moral, social, and political curse of a borough, with out seeking or securing an advantage to any one. The sting of the measure consists, however, in its renewing and stimulating the rivalship of classes, with an appearance of saintly equity. We have only space to glance at these effects to-day, but they must be treated of in detail. Our con stitution has floated on for generations, more securely than any other ship that bears a European flag. Lord John seizes the helm, finds himself puzzled and baffled as a pilot, and then attempts to atone for his ignorance of navigation by disturbing the whole of the ballast. If we had only himself to care for, we might allow him to find his way to the shoal, the quicksand, or the bottom, without remonstrance. He would give us such an elective body that members of the Feargus O'Con nor school would be no rarity. Me would add none to the constituencies of respectable and intel ligent places like those which surround the metro polis, fashionable watering places, the universities, and great commercial towns. He would call from the " vasty deep" of poverty, ignorance, and sensuality in our dens of manufacture, another invasion of Goths and Vandals. He would abolish effectually no existing cause of corruption, but would introduce many more. He would, in short, after ruining the agricultural interest, take means for preventing their voice from being heard. The following sensible remarks conclude an important article in the Times of Friday It can, we think, be demonstrated that the Uovernment project for dovetailing small populations, is geographically impossible and theoretically wrong ; that while it will have an injurious effect upon the counties, it will extend, and not correct, the abuses of the towns; that it will add greatly to the expenses of elections, and will necessitate a far more extended system of agency, which is, as every practical man knows, the root of all electioneering vice. It ad mits, also, we believe, of proof that in a variety of cases this project will swamp constituencies, at present independent, by voters who will owe their existence as voters to their landlord ; and that in other cases, where the existing influence may be nullified, the effect will be—as in the case of Wareham—only to throw the authority into the hands of some other wealthier and less scrupulous proprietor." ...Further prrticulars may be had on application to Wm. lyrrArAms, Estate Agent, and Agent to the Royal Insurance "Vany, 47 Ranelagh-street, Liverpool. 1 Kiberpoot tanbarb+ TST.

THE NEW REFORM BILL A.T a period of profound peace, when the voice of popular clamour has been in a great measure hushed, and when there is a positive reaction from radical changes and radical opinions, in conse quence of the turn which matters have taken on the Continent, the Minister has thought proper to introduce what he calls a " Reform Bill." We are now too much experienced to be led away by mere names ; for we have before us an example of the reality which answers to the watchword of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. The bill must stand or fall by its merits or demerits, therefore; for we can assure our readers that Reform in the present case is anything but synonymous with Improvement. In the political game of chess, it may be a dexter ous move to draw off public attention from the weakness or worthlessness of an Administration, and to throw an apple of discord to the crowd; but Lord John Russell will shortly learn, that even the selfish motto, " honesty is the best policy," would have served his purpose better. He and his friends congratulate themselves that there was so much silence and so little disapprobation when the outline of his scheme was announced ; but let him not " lay the flattering unction to his soul " that this is or will be approval of it. The novelty of a scheme purposely kept secret, surprised the public, and there was a lull like that which succeeded the first intimation of the Popish aggression ; but his antagonists have had time to buckle on their armour, and are ready to join issue with him.

With most men we would draw the former inference ; but with an accomplished trickster like the premier the latter may be true. The bill provides for the disfranchisement of Sudbury, in Suffolk, in consequence of its corrup tion ; and a special bill is to be introduced for the disfranchisement of St. Albans. Others are to be disfranchised from time to time, on distinct proof of corruption ; and "the weakest must come to the wall."

We do not envy our neighbours their good fortune; we hope that they will make a good use of it. If it were not that there is no definite principle throughout the bill, except the principle of change, we would support the suggestion which has been made in a metropolitan paper, of giving members to corporations and professions, as is now done to the universities. If we must descend to the pur lieus and " slums!' of our smoky towns to find out voters, should we not also ascend to intellect, in fluence, and public usefulness. The graduates of London University have long sought for a repre sentative ; let them have one, and those of Durham as well.

There is to be no disfranchisement of small boroughs, unless where corruption is proved to exist before a com mission of inquiry appointed by the Crown : as in the case of St. Albans. [A special bill is to be introduced for the disfranchisement of St. Alban's.] 2. Sudbury, as a corrupt borough, is to be disfran chised, and its two members are to be given —one to Birkenhead and the other to Burnley. 3. In cities and boroughs, the franchise is to be pos sessed by every person occupying a house rated at the annual value of £5. 4. In counties, the £5O tenant-at-will franchise is to be reduced to £2O ; the copyhold and long lease franchise from £lO to £5. The 40s. franchise is not to be disturbed. 5. Both in counties and towns, every person who pays 40s. a-year in income tax or assessed taxes is to possess the franchise. 6. There are 67 boroughs, all having less than 500 voters each, and their constituencies are to be extended by the inclusion of neighbouring towns or villages. 7. The property qualification of members of parlia ment is to be abolished, thus placing English and Irish on the same footing as Scotch representatives. 8. The oaths taken by members are to be reconstructed —a portion of them being abolished, and the retained portion being couched in such terms as shall be acceptable alike to Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jew. 9. A Minister of the Crown, when changing his office, is not to be bound to seek re-election. FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS.

A prominent feature in the new bill is its marked alteration of the constituency ; it changes, indeed, both the local limits and the character of the electors. In the former matter, the sixty seven small boroughs are to be extended to take in neighbouring villages, or districts, so that in some places there will be a creation of small shires that may be not unfavourably compared with Rutland, Cromarty, Clackmannan, or Kinross. It is an approximation to the Electoral Districts of the Chartists, without the equality of division which they advocate ; it lets loose upon those who sought no such boon, the temptations of bribery and corruption; and it not only bribes them with a novelty, but descends at the same instant to a lower grade of the population.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1852_ TOWN-COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. THE proceedings of the Town-council on Wednes day and Thursday, embraced several points of importance; and in general the decisions were arrived at either unanimously or with large majorities. The first subject brought before the Council was the retirement of Mr. Crompton, in consequence of his promotion to the bench,—an event at which we are sincerely rejoiced. He has acquitted himself well in the position which he has occupied in this borough; and we have no doubt that he will win the samegolden opinions in his more exalted sphere. The compliment of a similar vote would no doubt have been paid to one not possessing half his merits; but there is the consciousness in this case that public approval goes heartily along with it. He is not the first man connected with Liverpool who has been called to the bench ; for, in 1842, Sir Cresswell Cresswell was made one of the justices of the Common Pleas. The new Sanatory Bill was rejected; and powers were given to the Water Committee to proceed with their bill. There was a variety of opinion on both subjects, yet the former decision was made by a majority of 40 to 3 ; the latter appeared to be unanimous, as the subject was not pressed to a division. The new bill for the Library and Museum met with unanimous approval. This is as it should be, and shows that the increasing interest of the public and the healthy tone of opinion are telling within the Council Chamber. By the arrangement which has been made, every point which the committee of the Royal Institution sought for will be secured, though not quite in their way. First, they will retain their buildings, for the only subject spoken of now is the collection ; the kernel, in short, with out the shell. Second, the collection will be preserved by competent trustees, who will watch over it with the deepest anxiety; as in other parts of the same trust some of them will have a family, if not a personal interest. Third, provision is made for securing men of science and general intelligence on the committee, whatever may be the condition of our Town-council in after times. We do not know whether this will be satisfactory to the gen tlemen at the Royal Institution, but it certainly ought to be so ; as it gives them the full benefit of the recent decision of their proprietors, and pro mises other advantages. But the question arises, can they so transfer their collection ? And what ever difficulty there may be in law, we trust there will be none in practice. During the annoyances which were inseparable from the discussion of the subject in the past year, certain gentlemen threatened that they would withhold their individual consent, and thus effectually stop all negotiations. We never paid any attention to this threat, nor do we now. The wounds are in process of healing; the public will watch with suspicion whoever attempts to impede a great public benefit ; and, besides, the gentlemen in question are the very last to do a mischievous action, though they, as well as others, will say severe things in moments of annoy ance. The Council have certainly acted in a con ciliatory spirit ; for, after rejecting in May last the principle of a united committee, they have intro duced it into their bill without any suggestion from without. We have no doubt that they would go still further, and that if no impediment occur, the president and secretary of the Royal Institution will , be among the first of the gentlemen selected. The decision on the report of the Paid Officers' Committee was not such as to be satisfactory to those who drew it up, as apparently not one of its prominent recommendations was adopted. Mr. Hartnup's salary was increased unanimously; for this we give the Council due credit. The offending parties were not dismissed; for this we give them credit also. With those who are utterly devoid of principle, and who are ready to do the greatest amount of injury for the smallest amount of cause, it is necessary to keep a tight bridle rein. But the case is entirely different with men of education and principle, who may and do err in judgment, but who, we must presume, always act with good intentions. Men of the one class can easily be restrained by ;error ; men of the other class are much better LATEST INTLLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. LONDON, MONDAY EVENINit The Globe states, that all the debts of Hutton and Co., one of the largest and most respectable firms in the African trade, whoseengagements have been temporarily postponed, will be discharged in full; the suspension being occasioned not from want of assets, but through the demise of a partner. MINISTRY.—The Standard says a very confident rumour was current, on Saturday evening, that Lord Truro had received a hint from his colleagues that his resignation would be acceptable ' • but that a diffi cu lty h a d arisen, from the impossibility of finding a successor, Lord Cranworth refusing to exchange his actual freehold office for one dependent upon the precarious tenure of a falling ministry. The alleged reason for calling upon Lord Truro to resign and quit, is his lordship's exhibition in the House of Lords, on Friday night, when he seemed to repudiate the most important part of a measure of law reform, actually promised by his colleagues in the royal speech. As to the difficulty of immediately finding a successor to Lord Truro, surely that might be easily got over by putting the seal into a commission. Other dis sensions in the ministry are spoken of, but none so confi dent as this. PARIS, SUNDAY.—The Times' correspondent believes that the relations between France and Prussia are not very friendly. The Patrie declares in a most positive way that the President entertains none of the projects attributed to him by the English papers. This is the first semi-official notice taken of the rumours of war. CHURCH REFORM. SIR Benjamin Hall, Mr. Horsman, and a few others, think that no part of the Church requires reforming so much as the episcopal revenues ; and the Bishop of London seems to think that that point is well enough at present, if the clergy could only be controlled. Both parties are right in the the objects which they seek to accomplish ; but both look too exclusively to one aspect of the question. We require not only both reforms, but more than both. Let the Church revenues be better distributed by all means, so as to secure more means and better superintendence. And as there must be occasional accusations in a body of 20,000 men, (18,000 in England, and 2,000 in Ireland,) let justice be speedily, cheaply, and effectually admi nistered, whether in the direction of conviction or acquital. Why should ecclesiastical trials be at tended with difficulties unknown to the army, the navy, or the bar ? or why should it so often happen among men with limited incomes, that a successful defence of a frivolous or vexatious charge is ruin ous by its costs ? We hope, in the course of a few years, to see these anomalies, and all others like them, effectually removed ; and we hope that this will be done in a good spirit. ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH, TOXTETH-PARK.—A hand some font of Caen stone, the liberal donation of Mr- Thornton, of Yates'-street, has recently been erected in this church. governed by the exercise of a little charity and moderation. And sure we are, that the lesson will not be lost on Mr. Venn, and the others of less note, whose names did nottranspire inthe discussions. THE CAPE QUESTION. SINCE our last publication, two despatches from Lord Grey have been published —one recalling Sir Harry Smith, and assigning the reasons; the other appointing Major-General Cathcart, and specifying his duties. It is clear that the present governor has miscalculated the difficulties of his position ; or, perhaps, he hoped to be able to overcome them with the same energy which carried him success fully through the fields of the Sutlej and Aliwal five or six years ago. We hope that his successor will use more circumspection, and that his efforts will be attended with more success. We are glad to see that the view of the British position taken by those in authority coincides with our own. It is a mistaken humanity which would nourish the savage to be a thorn in our side, and to paralyse the hand of industry, in the consciousness that the idle might eat the lion's share of the produce of the indus trious. A few years may show us the Cape one of our most flourishing colonies ; but there must be victory, at whatever cost, before that can be expected with any degree of confidence. THE COUNTY COURTS. NOTWITHSTANDING the special experience of Liverpool, the County Courts have done immense good to the country, by simplifying and cheapen ing the administration of justice, as well as by expediting it. Already their powers have been increased by extension to debts of a larger kind, and we have no doubt that they will yet be extended, SO as at length seriously to diminish the business of the superior courts. A bill is now before Par liament, to authorise an increase of salary to the judges in these courts, and to amend other details. The principle which the railways first introduced on an extensive scale, of paying by salaries instead of by fees, is the one which is gaining ground in public estimation, and which after years will find greatly extended. On Tuesday last, Lord Camp bell delivered an important decision in the case of Mr. Ramshay, of our own County Court, refusing the rule in reference to the quo warrant°. This, we apprehend, closes the case, and we hope to hear no more of it. Of the gentleman whose name has been so prominently before the public, we would merely say, " de mortuis nil nisi bonum." a REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. The Essex Standard, of Friday, contains the follow ing :—" We understand that a deputation from Liverpool will wait upon Lord John Manners on Monday next (yes terday), to present to him a second requisition from the Conservative party of that borough (including the signa ture of the Rev. Dr. M'Neile) inviting him to become their candidate at the next election ; our informant adds that the Noble Lord still adheres to his determination of again offering himself to his Colchester constituents." We have made inquiries, but cannot learn that there is any truth in this statement. HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. Their lordships met at a few minutes past five o'clock.— In reply to a question from the Earl of Ellenborough, the MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE said that it was the intention of the government to propose committees in both Houses of Parliament with the view of obtaining the necessary informa tion previous to the termination of the interest of the East India Company in the territories and revenues of India. In answer to another question, the noble marquis stated that an expedition had been sent to Rangoon, a port of India, in order to obtain redress from the King of Ava, for injuries inflicted upon British traders in his territory. The DUKE of MONTROSE called attention to the case of the steam frigate Megtera, in which troops intended for the Kaffir war had been shipped for the Cape, and severely commented upon the conduct of the captain of the vessel, and of the Admiralty in having neglected to provide room and better accommodation for the men during their voyage. _ _ Lord MINTO, who was often inaudible, defended the Admiralty, giving a variety of facts to prove that the ar rangements which they had made for the voyage had been intended for the comfort and convenience of the troops. After remarks from Lord Ellenborough and the Duke of Northumberland, condemnatory of the Admiralty, and from Earl Grey in reply, the matter dropped. The committee upon the County Courts further Exten sion Bill was postponed till this day (Tuesday). The house adjourned at a quarter to seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY The speaker took the chair at a quarter to four o'clock. Mr. Dancombe took the oaths and his seat for East Retford. Sir G. GREY gave notice that he should move, on Thursday, as an amendment to the motion relative to the disturbed districts in Ireland, that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the state of those parts of the counties of Monaghan, Armagh, and Louth, which have been referred to in the speech from the throne. Mr. Fox MAULE gave notice, that, on Friday, the 27th, he should move for a select committee to inquire into the present state of the East India Company, with reference to their charter. Mr. BROTHERTON, in reply to a question from Mr. Wilson Patten, stated that he had consented to postpone the motion for the second reading of the Manchester and Salford Education Bill from Wednesday next; but he had only done so upon the full understanding that the merits of the question should be then debated. In answer to a question from Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, Lord J. RUSSELL stated, that a measure was in prepara tion on the subject of education in Scotland. The house then went into a committee of the whole house, Mr. BERNAL in the chair, upon the laws relative to the local militia, whereupon Lord J. RUSSELL, in ex plaining the nature of the measure, commenced by say ing that, in the opinion of the Government, it was wise, whilst in a state of peace, to provide some permanent force against an invasion. He remarked that there was nothing in our foreign relations to justify any alarm; but, in a country like this, we should always be prepared to resist aggression. We have large possessions of our own to defend; and we were bound in other respects by treaty to defend certain of our allies ; and connected as we were with the general balance of power in Europe, we were bound to support the existing system. Another question had also arisen of late years. It was the fact that, since the invention of steam navigation, we were more exposed than before to sudden attack upon our coasts. Against these it would be necessary to guard. It must be recollected further, that our military forces were less than those of the other nations of Europe, and that we had, during war, a militia force which, of late years, had not been called out. He would leave all explanations as to our navy, however, to the First Lord of the Admiralty. He would make sufficient explanations in proposing the naval estimates ; but with regard to the army, he might say that the addi tions it was proposed to make to it would be very small. They would amount to four thousand men for the regiments of the line, and one thousand to the artil lery, making five thousand altogether, or rather less than the number of men who had been recently despatched to the Cape. He would add, that the Commander-in-Chief and the Master of the Ordnance had turned their attention to the subject of improved arms for our military forces. Muskets of a much longer range than those formerly in use had been introduced, and the men were being trained to them, and enquiries had been made by a board of officers, both with regard to the best arms, and the most effectual means of training soldiers to their use. He would only add to this subject that the attention of the noble duke at the head of the army was being continually directed to the subject. The noble lord then proceeded to describe the proposed measure, which he said would be strictly local ; militia to be called out only in their own c oun ti es , and for a very small period of the year. The ballot for the first year would be from 18 to 30 years of age; for the second year, from the age of 23; and for the next year from the ages of 20 to 25. The ballot upon the former scale it was expected would yield 80,000 men. The noble lord then entered into a variety of details, which he said would be incorporated into clauses. The first year's service would be from 14 to 28 days; that of the second for 14 days; and the service need not be in consecutive days. During the period of which they would be out the men would receive the same pay as regular troops. The subject, however, involved a great number of details; but such being an outline of the plan, he believed the people would gladly adopt it. The noble lord concluded by moving a resolution on the subject ; and he said that the bill to be afterwards brought in would refer to England and Wales only. Mr. REY NOLDs said he would not adopt the exception of Ire land from the proposed bill. If it was necessary to prepare against invasion, he contended that Ireland would be most ex posed.—Mr. HUME had heard Lord John Russell's speech with regret. It was far from his intention to propose any course which would not tend to the protection of the country, but in his opinion the existing naval and military force was amply sufficient.—Colonel THOMPSON and Sir F. VERNEY sup ported the motion.—Mr. J. O'CONNELL protested against the exclusion of Ireland from the proposed precautionary mea sures.—Mr. COBDEN considered that the idea of invasion, or of a descent upon this country, was utterly unfounded, and was encouraged merely for the sake of attempting to increase the naval and military armaments of the country.—Lord PALMERSTON coincided with the opinion, that there was at pre sent no reason to apprehend an invasion of the country, but at the same time he was of opinion that it was essential that measures of precaution should be taker.. The best way of preventing a hostile attack was to show our readiness and ability to repel it, should it be made. He rejoiced, therefore, that the Government had at length proposed a militia in his [LEFT SPEAKING.] TATTERSALL'S BETTING-MONDAY.

SHEEP STEALING.—No less than eight sheep were stolen one day last week from a field in Fairfield. They were the property of Mr. Thomas Butcher, London-road. THE OLD DODGE.—On Saturday last a young woman, respectably dressed, and with a lady-like, pale and inter-. esting countenance, accosted a son of Mr. Dempsey, of Park-street, in this town, and desired him to go to the house of Mrs. Edmunds, who keeps a public-house at 23, North John-street, and borrow £2 for her (Mrs. Ed munds's) mother. The " dodge" was successful.—On the previous Friday a child was cheated, by a similarly plausible story, out of ss. in Marybone. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—A collision of a very serious nature occurred on Thursday morning last, between the Pickwick and the Chimmra, two vessels which sailed from this port on Wednesday morning. The particulars appear to be as follows :—" The Pickwick, Captain Graves, a fine British-built ship, of 386 tons, and the Chimmra, Captain Bangs, an American ship, of about 700 tons, sailed from the Mersey on Wednesday morning, and proceeded down the Channel safely until three o'clock th,a following morning, at which time they were about thirty miles to the N.W. of Holyhead, the wind blowing pretty strong from S.W. The Pickwick was under close reefed topsails, reefed mainsail, and on the starboard tack, and the Chimmra on the port tack, when the colli sion took place. The Chimmra struck the Pickwick amidships, and such was the violence of the shock that the captain and all who were on the Pickwick's deck at the time instantly jumped on board the Chimmra, as it was not then supposed that the Pickwick would recover from the blow. The Pickwick had a passenger and a stowaway on board ; the latter individual, however, did not make his appearance from his hiding-place until after the collision took place. The passenger succeeded in gaining the deck of the American ship ; but the stowaway, and the steward, and one seaman, who were also below, were left on board. The Pickwick lost bowsprit, foretopmast, mizen mast, mainrigging, &c., and the Chimaera had her bow sprit, cutwater, &c., carried away. Captain Graves wished the captain of the American ship to remain alongside the disabled vessel ; but he did not think it prudent, in conse quence of his vessel being severely damaged in the bows, and leaking badly, and at once determined to put back to this port. In returning, when near the North-west Light-ship, the Chimmra unfortunately ran into a schooner; but it was thought at the time that the latter had sustained little or no damage, and no notice was taken of the cir cumstance. A few hours afterwards, however, a coal laden schooner, named the Isabella, was picked up and taken to Beaumaris, and it is supposed she is the same the Chimmra ran into. It is not known what has become of the crew, but it is probable that they have been picked up by an outward-bound vessel. The men on the Pick wick were taken off by a schooner, name unknown, and conveyed to Donaghadee, and the ship left to the mercy of the wind and waves. On Saturday morning she was boarded by the Agnes, of Wicklow, and taken in tow, with the intention of making for Douglas Bay ; but, when about ten miles north of the Calf of Man, she was fallen in with by the steam-tug President, which had been sent out in search of her, and she was safely towed back to this port, where she arrived about five o'clock on Sunday morning. The fortunate captain of the schooner who took her in tow remained in possession, and no doubt he will receive a handsome salvage for himself and crew. Shortly after her arrival at this port she was safely moored at the north end of the Prince's Dock. It is believed that her cargo is uninjured. The Pickwick, we understand, is the property of Captain Cornish, kid was dispatched hence by Messrs. W. and J. Tyrer. DEPARTURE OF ENGLISH ENGINEERS TO BELGIUM:. During the last week several agents from the leading iron foundries and steam-engine factories of Liege, Verviers, Charteron, Mons, and other parts of Belgium, have been over in this country, for the purpose of engaging some of our best engineers and machinists for their establishments at high wages. In consequence of the strike among the English working men and their masters, they have re ceived considerable orders for machinery (steam-boats, &c.) On Saturday, 180 to 200 left on board a steamer especially engaged for Ostend. Others are to follow.— Morning Herald. DREADFUL FIRE AT DARTFORD PAPER AND OIL MILLS.—At about seyen o'clock on Saturday night last, the extensive mills at Dartford, in Kent, known as the Phoenix paper and oil mills, were discovered to be in flames, and so instantaneously was the fire communicated to the different floors of the establishment, that, shortly after the first alarm was given, the whole building seemed to be in a blaze. Every possible attempt was made to subdue the flames by the local engines, which were speedily on the spot ; and i n f orma ti on was forwarded by electric telegraph to London, a distance of about sixteen miles, whence several engines and a number of the fire brigade were at once despatched. The cause of the fire appears to be wholly unknown. The building belongs to Messrs. Thompson and Co., of Sadler's-hall, and was in sured in the Imperial and other offices. The contents were insured in the Sun, Phoenix, Kent, and Union offices. The paper mills were almost entirely destroyed. The en gine house was saved. The oil mills adjoining were but slightly injured by the fire, but considerably damaged by water. The occupier of the mill—Mr. J. Saunders—is, we regret to add, not the only person who will suffer by the misfortune; for the whole of his workpeople, male and female, must for a considerable period be thrown out of employment. BRUTAL MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—On Saturday night last, a horsekeeper, named Wm. Stiles, residing with his wife at Victoria-mews, Salisbury-street, Edgeware-road, London, committed a cold-blooded and atrocious murder ; the victim being his own wife, Emma Stiles. It appears that Stiles had been out with his wife, who was marketing, at about nineo'clockon thenight men tioned, and went with her to a public-house to have some porter, when they seemed to be on the best terms. The poor woman shortlyafterwardsreturned home, and nothing more was seen or heard of her till she was discovered dead in her room over the stables, her body a mass of wounds and bruises from head to foot, and especially the legs, the blows appearing to have resulted from repeated kicks with a heavily-nailed boot, such as was worn by Stiles, the hus band. The first information of the horrible circumstance was communicated about three o'clock on Sunday morn ing by Stiles, to the policeman on duty in Salisbury-street, who stated that, during his absence from home, his wife bad been violently treated, and he feared she was dead. On going to the place the officer, who took another con stable with him, found the unfortunate woman lying on the bed, undressed, and bathed in blood. On examining the neck, marks of severe pressure were visible, and a deep cavity was observed on the part immediately over the jugular, as if produced by forcing the thumb down on it. She had obviously been dead some time. Stiles ap peared so much excited as to cause suspicion, and it was soon discovered that his jacket, trousers, and shirt were thickly marked with blood. He was therefore taken into custody and lodged in the lock-up, to await an inquiry before the coroner and the magistrates.
