MORE FIRES IN LONDON.—On Thursday a destruo tive conflagration broke out in the extensive hemp, fla x , and cane warehouse, belonging to Messrs. Mandeville, Kent-street, Borough, and which has resulted in an im mense loss of property. A colour-maker received a most frightful injury whilst he was removing some of the hemp out of the warehouse. About four hours previous to the above conflagration, a most alarming fire was discovered raging in the workshops of Mr. Bourne's cooperage, 7, Cornwall-road, Lambeth ; and so rapid was the progress of the flames, that before the inmates of the dwelling. house could escape, the staircase bad taken fire, and was all alight. Instantly on the alarm being given. Mr. and Mrs. Bourne attempted to pass down the stairs, but find. ing it itnpracticable they returned to the second floor, and precipitated themselves into the road. Mr. Bourne is severely cut in different parts of his person, and Mrs. Bourne has broken her collar-bone and both her legs, and lies in Guy's Hospital in a dreadful state of suffering. POOR LAWS.--A parliamentary return has beenissued, headed " A return showing the number of in-door and out-door paupers relieved during the first week of the month of April, 1843, in the several unions comprised in each assistant poor law commissioner's district.' It ap pears that there are nine assistant commissioners. The number of unions in the nine districts is 587. In-door poupers relieved in the week mentioned, 115 250. Out door paupers relieved in the same period, 701,741. Total of paupers relieved in one week. 816,991. The popula tion in 1841 was in England and Wales, 13,762;853. The proportion of the total number of paupers to the popula tion is at about 6 per cent. The return further shows the following two items :—Estimate for unions not in. eluded, and places not in unions, in-door paupers, 17,958 ; out-door, 109,346. Total, 127,304. Estimated totals of (paupers) England and Wales, in -door, 133,208, out door, 811,687.

Often it is that they are not suitably aired at the fire, but just removed carelessly at once from the linen-press, or worse from the mangle, where, in order to mangle them well, they were previously sprinkled, and never subsequently dried.

Trees, DISGRACEFUL SCENE.—On Saturday afternoon a scene took place in the neighbourhood of the old bridge of Dee. of a character that cannot be too severely censured. A silly fool, slightly the worse for drink, urged apparently by some companions of his own stamp, having collected a crowd about him by the profane use that he was making of a copy of the Scriptures he had in his possession, began to mimic the performance of public worship. Part of a Psalm was sung, mingled with oaths and chorused by laughter; a passage of Scripture was next read in the same manner ; and, lastly to crown his profane mockery, the silly being, who had not even the poor excuse of youthful thoughtlessness to plead in behalf of his conduct, flattered apparently by the laughter that he elicited from the crowd of young men and women that surround e d him, stood up in th e a ttit u d e of worsh ip, and brou g h t his blasphemy to th e h orr ibl e climax of giving utterance to the Lord's pr a y er , m i ng l e d with imprecations on hi s ribald audience to cease the peals of laughter, that, by discomposing his gravity, seemed likely to put a close to the wretched exhibition.—Aberdeen paper.

Thus far having progressed—the next course pursued was to introduce the piston into the tube at the equili brium valve near Glasthule-bridge ; but while this was being done the key of the fly-wheel slipped, and a delay of nearly an hour elapsed before it was adjusted. It has been stated that the experiment was but preliminary, and, to this may be ascribed this trifling incident, for accident it cannot be called. The fly-wheel movement being rectified.- the engine was set going once more, but not on its condensation princi ple, for there was no cold water to condense. It was at high pressure and half power; the height of mercury in the guage varied from eleven to fourteen inches. The signal was given by men stationed with flags along the line, and the piston carriage, with two passenger carriages, one second and one third class, attached, moved along per se amid the joyous shouts of those assembled. It seemed more as if some magic power were at work—some force that no human energy cou!d awaken into existence. In four minutes they accomplished the distance, one and a quarter mile, retarded considerably at starting by the breaks on the wheels to keep the motive power under proper control, as also at the terminus, not to let the train overshoot the line of rails. , Mr. Joseph Samuda was on the piston carriage, and several gentlemen took seats in the other carriages, and they describe the motion to be more than ordinarily smooth and easy—the curves were passed without the slightest perceptible difference in the motion of the car riages ; altogether, it is pronounced to be no longer an experiment, but un fait accompli. What was deemed to be a problem by the uninitiated is now perfectly solved. A few data of the line of railway and the machinery may not be uninteresting. When finished there will be in length 9200 feet of open pipe. The close pipe forming the connexion with the air pipe is upwards of 400 yards. The engine is one hundred horse power—to be worked on the expansive condensations principle. The air pump is double stroker, its diametersixty-seven inches; the diameter of the tube or open pipe fifteen inches. The station at Dalkey is sevAnty-six feet higher than that at Kingstown. The elevation varies—one in fifty seven being the greatest, one in one-hundred and forty being the least, and the main ascent being one in one in one hundred and fifteen. It is computed that the train will descend from Dalkey by its own gravity, at the rate of from thirty to thirty five miles an hour. The sharpest curve is only 547 feet radius.

Four boys were drowned at Dawlish, near Bristol, on Sunday morning, by the upsetting of a boat. An immense number of frogs fell in the town and neighbourhood of Stourbridge during the - late violent storm r The congregational plan•of collecting from pew to pew, has been introduced into London, where it is regarded as a great novelty, and called the Lancashire system. From Gainsborough to Hull by wa.er was a two days' voyaze thirty years ago. It is now done by steam in two hours and a half. From the reply of Sir James Graham to thg memorial of the Cheshire Grand Jury it would appear that there is a probability of having a winter assize. The number of fires in the metropolis (there were six teen between Friday evening and Wednesday morning) has suggested a suspicion of incendiarism. PAtst.ity.—Trade is continuing brisk ; every loom is now sending forth the joyous sound of the shuttle, and the state of the market is steady and favourable. Another destructive fire took place in London on Wed nesday morning, by wh.ch the oil and varnish manufac tory of Messrs. Wentworth and Son of Mill-end gate was destroyed. It is said that upwards of 40,000 persons, principally Irishmen, have taken the temperance pledge at the hands of the Rev. Theobald Matthew, in the metropolis and its vicinity. The pensioners now in Greenwich Hospital, who fought with Nelson, amount to 199;: namely, those who fought in the battle of St. Vincent, 13; the Nile, 25 ; Copenhagen, 31; Trafalgar, 130. The Gloucester and Berkeley Canal is now completed, and opened into the Severn ; and the number of large ships passing through that river is consequently much increased. During the last week, the influx of visiters to Bakewell was so great that carriages stood for more than an hour in the streets, whilst accommodation and beds could be procured for them. Mrs. Williams, the wife of the chartist leader, Zepha niah Williams, who was reported to have been executed in New South Wales for murder, has written to the Northern Star, d en yi ng t h e t rut h of the statement. A splendid new packet-ship, of 1,250 tons burthen, ailed the Queen of the West, and belonging to M issr . Woodhull and Minturn, was launched at New York, on the sth instant. The steam-ship Londonderry arrived at the Broomie law last Friday morning, bringing the enormous freight of between 1,5 1 )0 and 1,600 " sons of the sod," to reap a harve.t in Scotland.—Glasgow Citizen. Cavalry and infantry barracks have been commenced at Newport, Monmouthshire. The area within the wall will be about ten acres, and the estimated cost of the erection is reported at from £4,000 to £5,000. Between Monday morning, the 31st ult. and the night of Saturday, the sth instant, just one week, one hundred and twenty-nine prisoners were lodged in Stafford county prison, being at the average of 221 per day. The estimated damage done to property in the towns of Rochester, Chatham, Stroud, and Brompton, during the short duration of the awful thunderstorm, was about £6,000. As a curious instance of the peculiar effect of the severe storm of Wednesday night last, on the following morning no less than 136 dead sparrows were found in the front garden of No. 1, Moore-place, Lambeth. It appears from the statistical reports issued by the Registrar-General, that about one-fifth of the total mor tality of England and Wales is attributable to pulmonary consumption. FATHER MATHEW AND LORD BROUGHAM.-OR Wednesday last, Father Mathew breakfasted with the Hon. Stafford Jerningham, where he was visited by Lord Brougham, Lord Glenelg, and other persons of distinc tion. MANSLAUGHTER.--At St. Neots, on Saturday week, the death of an old man was occasioned by two market carts knocking him d own and running over him whilst racing. A verdict of manslaughter has been returned by the coroner's jury against the drivers. ISLE OF MAN JOINT STOCK BANK.--A meeting of the sh areholders in this concern was held at Douglas on Tues day. The liabilities amount to £175,388. ls. 2d., and the good debts to £93,812. 7s. 11d., leaving a loss to the bank of £ 8 1,575. 13s. 3d, a burni activelt the - di it readily health 63.

STANDARD Two SISTERS KILLED.—On Sunday last five persons, two females (sisters), two men of the name of Robertson and Johnstone, arid an infant child of the latter, were proceeding in a cart from Hughmill, when the vehicle came in contact with a large stone, which upset the whole. Robertson was much bruised, Johnstone and his infant escaped unhurt, out Mrs. Robertson was killed on the spot, and her sister. who was never again sensible, died on Monday.—Fifeshire Journal. PETITION ING.— In spite of the loud complaints which issue from all parts of Wales in regard to tolls, rents, tithes, county-rates, &c, no petitions were presented for redress. And what is still more extraordinary is, that in spite of the whole of Ireland being torn to pieces and dis tracted by the agitation and the " monster nieetings" now going on, and being held in favour of the repeal of the union, only ten petitions have been presented to Parlia ment in behalf of that measure, and nine were presented against it. " Rebecca," like Robin Hood of old, has turned moral ist and a wild minister of justice. About two years back, says the Carmarthenshire Journal, a servant girl gave birth to a boy, the son of her master. a respectable free holder. A few days ago a carriage drove up to the man's house ; a black footman opened the door ; an elegantly dressed lady alighted, with a child in her arms, and, en tering the Lothario's house, presented herself as " Re becca," and the child as hi' own, with an injunction that he should cherish it. The Welsh dictatress has been im plicitly obeyed. GOVERNMENT AND THE SOCINIANS —lt is now con fidently stated, that a royal commission is to be forthwith issued for the purpose of inquiry into the state of the trust property of evangelical donors, usurped by the Socinians in England and the Arians in Ireland, with a view to what is canting ly termed "an equitable adjustment" in the pre mises. If this step had been taken at first, there might have been some show of public utility in it. But now, when the law has been repeatedly declared in both king doms, and finally decided by the [louse of Lords, it seems difficult to know what a commission would be appointed to inquire into, or wherefore it should meddle in the affair. MR. BRAHAM.—This unrivalled vocalist, after a pro fessional tour through the south-western parts of England, has lately been delighting with his powers of song the in habitants of the Channel Islands. His career, however, was, a few days since, nearly brought to a close by the rash attempt to cross, with his son Charles and his friend Mr. Torre, in a small open boat, from Guernsey to Jer sey, the difficult and dangerous navigation in that quarter being unknown to any of the party. After havin g b een rocked on the cradle o f th e deep" for upwards of fifteen hours, and exposed during the whole night to a rough sea, they providentially reached terra firma in safety, drenched and famished. SENDING THREATENING LETTEas.—George W. A. Hamilton, alias Robert Bell, was on Friday tried at the Central Criminal Court, for having sent to a respectable young lady, named Jessie Hopper, letters demanding money, with menaces, &c. The prisoner threatened, in his infamous epistles, to blast the reputation of the young lady by publishing to the world that she had been visiting a house of ill- fame, if she did not buy his secret from him. His conduct had such an effect on the young lady. that she has been seriously ill ever since. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Baron Rolfe sentenced the prisoner to transportation for fourteen years. WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY.—Among the acts which received the Royal assent on Tuesday was one of some importance to the trading community, entitled " An Act for the better prevention of Frauds by Secret Warrants of Attorney to confess judgement." By an act passed some years ago all the warrants of attorney were required to he filed, and an index kept for public inspection. It has, however, been considered necessary to afford greater facilities on the subject, and by the present act any per son before he gives credit, or an extension of credit, can, on the payment of Is. 6d., ascertain whether any warrant of attorney or legal instrument exists by which the pro perty supplied to that debtor can be suddenly seized upon. It often happens that tradesmen supply goods, and find them swept away in a short time by a warrant of attor ney. MURDERS OF COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CotsroLLY.—ln the House of Commons, on Thursday last, in reply to a question, Sir R. Peel said that though he was not in possession of any direct information offici ally as to these murders, yet he believed there was no reason to doubt the intelligence that they had been barbarously murdered by the Ameer of Bokhara on the 17th of June, 1812. The Emperor of Russia was indig nant at the crime, and had since then refused to hold any communication with Bokhara, and the Sultan had pur sued a similar course. Notwithstanding the distance and the difficulties in the way, he did not despair of obtaining satisfaction for the atrocious crime. Colonel Stoddart was in the public service, but he could not speak with certainty as to whether Captain Conolly was or was not in the public service. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.--" We cannot deny," says the National, " whatever be the cause which para lyses the progress of our agriculture, that our produce is much inferior to that of the English. The following is a comparison of the agricultural produce raised by 1,000 families in France and England : In England. In France. Difference. Horses.. 273 65 four times less. Oxen ... 1,230 203 six times less. Sheep... 11,000 1,043 ten times less. Corn ... , 56,000 hectolitres 40,000 hectolitres. In France it is calculated that to every thousand square yards of ground there are 33 cultivators. In England only 28• Our agricultural produce ought, therefore, to be at least equal to that of England, and our inferiority con sequently proves the want of skill amongst the ' , French agriculturists." FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.—A few days ago, the Isle of Tiree was visited by a shoal of whales, which were no sooner observed than several boats put out to sea to surround them. The " leaders" were shaving a creek, when a Herculean native, Mr. D. Maclean, who chan ced to be riding by, with heroism worthy of a better cause, jumped off hi s h orse , taking with him the bridle and his trusty dirk. It is we ll k nown, that, if one whale bleeds, and is stranded, the rest of the shoal, by some fatility, follow, and are easily . secured. Mr. Mac lean, seein g th e l ea d er qu it e close, jumped upon its hack. and stabbed it in the belly. The moment the monster took in the saline element, it turned belly up. Donald put his bridle about its tail and swam with it to an ad jacent boat ! In this manner the unequal fight was car ried on for about an hour ; when Mr. Maclean, after hav ing secured eleven whales, felt exhausted, and bad to give up the contest.—Abridged from the Dumfries Courier. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.—This body is now sitting and discussing in Cork. The attendance of savans is said to be numerous. In the report it was stated, that since its establishment the association had expen d e d £ 8,300 in scientific investi gations ; that £3,339 were pledged to be paid for scientific Inquiries suggested at the late meeting at Manchester; and that it had only a sum of £5,000 invested capital. During the last eight years of its active operations, it had expended in astronomical investigations, &c., £2,200; in tidal observations, £1,550; in meteorological and mag netical observations, £1,400; in experiments and observa tions on the forms of vessels, £9OO ; in experiments on the manufacture of iron, £400; and in inquiries connected with medicine, botany, zoology, chemistry, and other branches of science, nearly £5,000. They also represented that the disposable funds of the society were nearly ex hausted. The balance in hand previous to the last meet ing at Manchester was £538. 145.5 d. ; the sum received at Manchester, £1,737 ; contributions for books, £192. 10s. ; dividend on the funded property of the association (£5.500) in the Three-and.a-Half per Cent. Consols, £247. 10s. ; received torts the sale of rerts, £1 for ladies' tickets nchester, po £331 ; for sectiondal tickets, £33 ; and interest on money remaining in the hands of the Manchester bankers, £ll. 18s. 7d., making a total of £3,271. 4s. 4d. The expenditure consisted of payments for various grants for scientific purposes, £1,565. Ils. 2d. ; printing reports, &c., £446; salaries, £435, and expenditure at Manchester, £328. Bs. 10d. ; leaving a balance in hand of £496. 4s. Id. The property of the association c ons i ste d of funded property, £5,500, which, with other aasets, made a total of 6,705. NATIONAL GALLERY.—A fine full-length:portrait of MN. Siddons has recently been added to the collection in the National Gallery. It was painted by Lawrence, and was presented to the government for exhibition by Mrs. Fitzhugh. l'he portrait is placed in the same room as that of John Kemple as Hamlet, by the same master, and attracts much notice. THE PEGASUS.—The jury who sat to inquire in the circumstances causing the death of two of the passen gers by this unfortunate vessel, have brought in a verdict of accidental death, occasioned by the gross carelessness of the master and those on the look out; and the jury, in addition to this expression of their opinion, have added a deorland of £lOO against the company, on each body— £2oo in all. THE OPIUM COMPENSATION.—Friday night's Gazette contains a treasury notice, that the holders of the certifi cates given by Capt. Elliot for the British-owned opium, entitled to compensation, may, on or after the 30th inst., apply at the office of the Paymaster of Civil Services, at the Treasury-chambers, Whitehall, London, for payment, the receipts in question to be delivered at the Treasury chambers two days before the demand for payment. The grand cricket match between the M;ir;lebone club and the Midland counties players came off on the Leices ter ground this week, and was decided on Wednesday, in favour of the Marylebone, with ten wickets to go down. In the first innings the Midland Counties scored 93, and in the second 62; the Marylebone scored 139 in the first innings, and the game was won by the first two bats in the second. EXTRA PAROCHIAL PLACES IN LANCASHIRE.—There are 13 extra parochial places in this county, containing 7,161 inhabited houses, and a population of 43,288 per sons, according to the census of 1841. There is no other county in England that has one fourth as large an extra parochial population ; indeed it exceeds wo-fifths of the whole extra parochial population 01 England, viz. 103,461. THE INCOME TAX.—The commissioners for the in come tax, at their sitting on Friday week at Kensington, decided that a beneficed clergyman has no right to make any deduction from his gross receipts on account of sti pends paid to licensed curates; but that in a case where a curate having R stipend of £l5O per annum had paid the Tax upon the same, the incumbent ought to pay also that sum. as having formed part of his original income. Six LIVES LOST.—On Wednesday last, at Messrs. Bramah and Cochrane's Thick Coal Pit, Woodside Col liery, near Dudley, some of the men went down to work, by some means or other (not yet ascertained), the gas in the pit became ignited : the consequence was, that five persons were killed on the spot, and the other died soon after he was taken home. Several others were injured but not seriously.—Ten Towns' 111,ssenger. _ 1 TEA PARTY IN HONOUR OF DR' 13 , --- „ i sle/ On the evening of Thursday last, theLatiss. friends of Dr. Butler sat down to ten at ". 01110. titre, to celebrate the return of that revloill., his mission to Rome.
