THE LONDON ALDERMEN.—The Lord Mayor has thought it right to offer some explanation as to the charge of several of the aldermen being unfindable by John Doe and Richard Roe. His Lordship says, that there are not more of his brethren absent than are usually away at this time of the year. Certainly some may be abroad for pri vate affairs, and some may be abroad for health ; but it is not the less true, that at home there are numerous legal claimants on their attention. whom it is inconvenient for them to meet.—Railway Herald. In the melancholy case of shooting, between Harro gate and Otley, mentioned in last week's paper, the co roner's jury returned a verdict of " Excusable homicide." It appeared that John Brotherton, the poor fellow who was shot, had acted in the most imprudent manner, arising, no doubt, from his being intoxicated at the time, and that Hugh England, the servant man who fired the gun, as well as Mr. Atkinson and his family, were under great apprehension that Brotherton was one of a party of burglars who were trying to get into the house. SAVINGS' BANICE.—From an official return of Mr. Tidd Pratt, it appears that there are in England 445 savings' bank, with 832,290 accounts and deposits, amounting to £25,112,865. There are 428 riendly so cieties, investing dir , ctiy with the National Debt Office, with an amount of deposits of £1,770,775. There are 23 savings' banks in Wales, 73 in Ireland, and 36 in Scotland. The average amount of each depositor in Wales is £2B, precisely the same as in England ; in Ire land it is £29, whilst in Scotland it is only £l4. DETERMINED SUICIDE. A young woman, named Lydia Price, 25 years old, having left her situation at Brecon, on Saturday, took arsenic, and afterwards applied for out-door relief at the workhouse. Being told that this could not be granted unless she became an inmate, she I went away, and applied at another chemist's shoo for more arsenic, but cream of tartar was given to her in -ye. s t ea d. B e i ng ta k en ill , s h e was conveye d to t h e work ., a I l' house, where, notwithstanding an obstinate resistance on ... het part, the stomach pump was applied and the chest re 'a'. ~ 1 lieved. It was, however, too late, and the rash woman expired the same evening. The jury returned a verdict y on of' offelo de se, and the suicide was interred without Chris tian burial. MANSION-HOUSE, SATURDAY.—RINGING A PEAL IN HONOUR OF PEEL'S TARIFF.—Miss Julia Jones, a very pretty damsel, dressed in a fashionable polka, was charged with pulling the bell of Mr. Bennett, of Fenchurch-street, at two o'clock in the morning. Julia said she had supped with a party of friends, on her return from the theatre, and had perhaps taken a little more refreshment than agreed with her, as she had drunk two or three glasses to " the health of Sir R. Peel," and "Success to his Tariff," and she supposed it was that which induced her to ring a peal in honour of Peel. She hoped the Lord Mayor would look over the offence, as it was her first frolic. — "he. Lord Mayor discharged the fair Julia, having advised 'r to beware of her second frolic. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On the 4th instant, a young --a phm„,,_ was engaged, with another - at Messrs. Stephenson's engine faetory,? 'ewcastle-on- by an engine, when in an instant the stone flew into numberless pieces, one of the parts flying upwards with tremendous force and breaking the beam and floor of the upper room, and, striking the steam-pipe in its descent, broke it, and filled the building with steam. Another portion of the stone is supposed to have struck Phelan, as, when the steam cleared away, be was discovered lying on his face, his head and face being dreadfully injured. He died about two hours afterwards. ALARMING ACCIDENT.—At the Broad Oak Colliery, near Ashton-under-Lyne, 20 poor men bad a very narrow escape from being crushed to atoms, by the fall of 100 tons of rock and rubbish. It appears that a body of coal had got on fire at the bottom of one of the pits, which the men had found great difficulty in trying to extinguish, on ac count of the great heat of the burning mass, but had at last succeeded in getting a fire engine down the pit. On Monday, the steam arising from throwing water on the burning coal, got int tremendous crash a mass of materials named abov Fortunately the men had not commenced work, or every soul would have perished ; three are seriously injured. The fire is not extinguished. THE DISTIN FAMILY.—These accomplished performers on the Sax horns are at present in Paris, where they are highly popular. It appears they have attended soirees, given by the Duc de Montpensier, and other illustrious individuals. On Friday last, they had an especial " com mand" to the Tuileries, and they played a variety f their most attractive pieces, in the presence of the King and Queen of the French, Princess Adelaide, Duchess of Orleans, Duchess of Nemours, Duc de Montpensier, Duc de Aumale, Prince de Joinville, and about 60 guests of distinction. His majesty took occasion to express the pleasure he experienced in listening to the effects of the horns • and even to request the performance of " God save the queen." The Distins proceed immediately to Germany, on a three months' professional tour. SERIOUS"AFFRAY.—For some time, a hostile feeling has existed 'between the English and Irish workmen em ployed at the Dement iron -works, and pugilistic en counters have been the consequence. On Sunday night, about nine o'clock, whilst a number of these workmen, composed chiefly of English, were sitting in a beer-house, at Blackbilt, a party of the Irish repaired to the house, armed with sticks, stones, and other missiles, and com menfted an attack upon it by smashing the windows and other outrages. Soon afterwards, the English party in side were j o i ne d by a num b er o f their comrades, when a desperate engagement ensued, which lasted for several hours, and during which from forty to fifty on each side were more or less disabled by cuts and bruises, three of whom are now lying in a very precarious state, and almost' beyond the hope of recovery.—Durham Chronicle. A DEEP BEGGAR.—A fellow is going about at Lincoln, vending trilling articles and begging, who, to induce the people to make purchases or give him something, pro fesses to be a religious person in reduced circumstances. To enable him to work the better upon the feelings of the religious, he produces what purports to be the certificate of a minister. It turns out that he bas a number of those certificates, and that he is, if they are to be believed, a faithful member of nearly every religious sect in the country. Unfortunately, the other day, he endeavoured to exci e the pity of a Lincoln independent, and to clench the appeal, pulled out what he imagined and stated to be the certificate of an independent minister, as a proof of his godliness ; but, lot the paper turned out to be " the wrong one," the unitarian certificate, and so, of course, the scamp was turned out. Some alarmi ig potato riots took place at Inverness a few days since. The lower classes opposed the shipment of potatoes, -in spite of the police, magistrates, and mili tary, and they proceeded to smash windows, and threa tened or attempted to set fire to the Provost's distillery. Ten or twelve persons were wounded ; the riot act bad to be read, and a proclamation issued ; and many were taken prisoners. No potatoes were shipped on Thursday, so that no opportunity was afforded to one side to brave the other. Some of the inhabitants think this is occasioned by fear acting on the farmers, and that they will not at tempt to ship. This is all delusion. The true cause of their inertness is the severity of the frost, which would spoil the potatoes between the barnyard and the wharf. Some farmers have sent supplies into the market. The potatoes sell at the exporting price, say 16s. per boll. To appease the populace, Mr. Fraser, farmer, called the town crier to advertise the inhabitants that whoever wished to purchase potatoes might be supplied by him with any quantity they wanted. BANNS OF MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.—At GiTat Whit ley Church, on Sunday, the Ist instant, the bans of mar- were publicly forbidden by the mother of the intended bridegroom. They bad been published for two Sundays previously, but as soon as the reverend divine had com menced for the third and last time, out started Mrs. Bowen into the middle of the church, and exclaimed in a loud voice, to the utter astonishment of the clergyman and congregation, including also those occupying the pew of royalty, "I forbid the banns in this church and all others." The reverend gentleman, for a moment or so, was in a " fix," but as soon as he recovered himself he told the old lady he would see her in the vestry after ser vice. We have not since heard the result.—On Sunday week, when the officiating minister at the parish church, Stockton, was publishing a long list of names of candi dates,for connubial bliss, and in the act of pronouncing the names of a certain couple, an individual present ex claimed, in a loud stentorian voice, " I forbid the banns." On being afterwards requested to state the " is by and the wherefore" he spid the " would be" bridegroom was his son, and that he was only 18 years of age. The next day, however, matters were amicably arranged between the parties, and the indissoluble knot has since been tied. ROYAL COLLEGE OF CHYMISTRY.- • Elis Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Wylde, on Thursday visited the hboratories of the Royal College of Chymistry. where he was met by Professors Hoffman, Brande, and Taylor, and Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell. His royal highness made a very minute inspection of the laboratories and examined every student us to the point they had reached in the systematic course of study adopted. He then witnessed a selection of interesting experiments, in cluding the method of analyzing organic compounds, known as Liebeg's organic combustion. His royal high ness, being well acquainted with the present state of the science of chymistry, has, from the first projection of the College of Chymistry, afforded it his support. After ?Mending more than an hour in the laboratory, his royal highness met Lords Palmerston, Hill. Newry and Morne, and Ebrington. Sir J. J. Guest, Sir James Clark, Hon. W. B. Baring, M. P., J. Denison, M. P., Mr. W. Ewart, M. P., and presided at a meeting of the GOWICM. The principal ;resolution passed at this meeting was that the building of the laboratories be commenced forthwith. His royal highness then inspected the site for the labora tories and the plans of Mr. Lockyer, the architect, and expressed his approbation of all the arrangements for th e establishment of the institution, and added a second dank ion of £lOO to the building fund. The lambing season this year has been exceedingly favourable. The earliest lambs obtained were from -the Dorset ewes, and from the mild state of the weather they have continued on the grass lands, and are now in a for ward state. Among the south down ewes lambing is now very general. The lambs are dropped very strong. and more than the average number of twins are produced. Sheep feed is very abundant in most counties, and should the weather remain in its present mildness, the couples will continue in their folds, and lambs will be ready for the markets much earlier than usual. THE WARWICKSHIRE MURDER.—The examination of Reed, who was apprehended on Friday week, at Bir mingham, on suspicion of having murdered Thomas Tran ter, a farmer at Berkswell, twelve weeks ago, took place at Solihull, near Birmingham, on Monday. the magis trates took the examination privately, and the accused was remanded. He has always been described as a fresh coloured young lad, of eighteen years of age, but now is very haggard looking, and has the appearance of having suffered much privation. He was apprehended by a milk man, named Pane, in Dale end, Birmingham, that person having previously known him. SENTENCE ON A RETURNED TRANSPORT.—A few months ago, a convict, named John Potter, surrendered himself at the Mansion-house, London, and alleged that he was an escaped convict from New South Wales. He said he had a great chance of liberty, but he wished to surrender himself, and be sent back to the colony. He was aware of the dreadful sufferings of the convicts, yet he would not shrink from suffering if he could effect good to others. The fact was, that since 11e got away, he had been converted ; and, feeling the sinful and degraded state in which convicts lived, he thought that, if be again went over amongst them, he should prove an instrument of much good. Great sympathy was felt, and Sir James Graham was applied to for a pardon ; but this, he said, could not be granted in the first instance—the prisoner must be dealt with in the ordinary way. The prisoner was, on Tuesday, brought into the New Court, when the Common Sergeant briefly referred to his case: without presudiing in what way Government would act, he had only to pronounce the judgment as in an ordinary case of being unlawfully at large. The sentence was, that the prisoner be further confined in Newgate for three calendar months, and then be transported for life. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—On Monday, a most alarming accident occurred at Sudbury, Derbyshire. Lord Ches terfield, and a number of distinguished guests from the seat of the noble Earl, arrived at Sudbury Hall, formerly the residence of the Queen Dowager, for the purpose of enjoying a day's fox-hunting. The morning was beauti fully fine, and the party exceeded any former gathering of the kind. They were met by Mr. Meynell's hounds, and everything gave promise of a most delightful day's sport. An accident, however, occurred to Mr. Potle, of Radbourne Hall, which gave birth to another of a mote fearful kind. This gentleman was thrown from his horse, and the animal galloped off at full speed, when it was met by the carriage of Lord Chesterfield, which contained four ladies—viz., Mrs. Clay, of Sudbury Hall, and her two daughters, and Miss Turner, who had kept the road as spectators of the sportsmen. The coachman, seeing the horse approaching, incautiously quitted his seat for the purpose of stopping the animal, when the horses dashed off with the carriage at full speed, for more than two miles, and threw the carriage on its side on an embank ment; the carriage was immediately righted again by the horses, but only to he upset on the other side; they went on a little further, when the carriage again was thrown on its right side, and the horses stopped of their own accord. Every assistance was immediately rendered to the unfor tunate ladies, who, we 'are happy to say, have escaped with their lives. Mrs. Clay had her collar-bone dislo cated, and the other ladies were slightly bruised. The jewellery. watches, and trinkets of the fair owners were scattered in all directions, and the carriage was almost dashed to pieces. SERIOUS RIOTS ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—On Wednesday morning last, the banks and shops in Penrith were closed during a great Far taf the day, and all business had been suspended, in consequence of serious disturbances amongst the labourers employed on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. That morning upwards of 2000 of these men, engaged between that town ;an to assemble in the neighbourhood, Iriving the Irish labourers from the line. Luckily no collision - took place, the Irish having re treated. The labourers were armed with clubs and other weapons. A party of the English having learned that some Irish had taken refuge in a lodging-house in Pen rith, went to the place, before the civil power arrived, and seriously assaulted nine Irishmen. One or two are scarcely expected to survive. The Cumberland and Westmoreland Yeomanry Cavalry were ca ll e d ou t " eleven o'clock all was quiet. The disiur;nWscom menced on Tuesday at the cutting at Hugh's Cragg. It peared that an IriThman had refused to do so me work required by his overlooker or " ganger," and that the two got from words to blows. The remainder of the Irish then employed, about 60 in number, struck work, and went to Mr. Smith's works, at Plumpton, where a great number of their countrymen were employed. In the evening the whole of them, to the number of 500, formed in regular order, and marched through Penrith to the huts on Yanwath moor, to burn them down, but were prevented by the magistrates and civil po;ver. Mr. Hasell, a magistrate, harrangued them in kind language, and they agreed to march back and meet next day (Wednesday), to receive their wages. It was also arranged that u t c h t e Irish should , and the heEngl English rk on o on the o ne s t he r. id e l n o f t h t e c u Eu t ti in n g o r a l Hugh's Cragg there are employed upwards of 600 English. and about 60 Irish About 13 men were wounded in the affrays, and nearly all are doing well. The riot act was read about noon. On Thursday night all remained quiet. The Irish in the neighbourhood of Penrith were paid off, and left the town, with the exception of four who were seriously hurt. From 200 to 300, armed with guns and other warlike weapons, were previously met by the yeomanry cavalry, at Milestone-house, and stopped, where the Irish appeared so desperate that the riot act was read, but, ultimately, it was agreed that they should be paid off, and they laid down their arms. After they had left the town all was again tranquil. DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A dreadful tra gedy was enacted on Thursday morning at the house, 16, Arthur-square, Commercial-road East, London. A man named Jeremiah Spence Stark, a coal-weigher, having murdered his wife by cutting her throat with a carving knife, destroyed himself with the same weapon. It ap pears that Stark, who was a man of violent temper, had lately made use of threats towards his wife, and was spoken to upon the subject by his wife's father, who lived in the same house. In consequence of an arrangement made by the wife's father, Stark and his wife slept in se parate beds on Wednesday night. Stark rose very early, and it is supposed that whilst his unfortunate wife was in the act of kneeling before the fire, and sweeping the ashes into a shovel, he came behind her, and inflicted several wounds on her neck and throat. A scuffle of very short duration then ensued, and the wife must have run towards the stairs, where she fell from exhaustion and loss of blood. The: man afterwards destroyed himself in the front kitchen, when his lifeless corpse ; welteriug in blood, was found stretched on the floor in front of the fire-place. The police were immediately called in from the neighbouring station-house, and found both parties quite dead. The woman had received several deep wounds on her neck and throat; the man only one, which nearly severed his head from his body. The fender and fire-irons were scattered about in every direction, and all things betokened a silent but terrible struggle. The only discoverable grounds for the terrible tragedy are these ; A little brother of the young woman Ellen Baxter, alias Stark, slept in the same apartment with her and her hus band, and on the previous night heard the latter abusing her, and calling her odious names. This he told to his father, who mildly remonstrated with Stark on the impro priety of his conduct. It would seem this galled the fel low, and must have rankled all night in his mind. From the appearance of the front kitchen, which seemed to be the breakfast-room of the family, the young woman must have been at work in the place when Stark made the at tack upon her, and the silent struggle between them must have been terrible. Her hands were cut in several places through the gloves which she had on doing her work. The poor young woman, who is supposed to have been in the family way, is said to have been a good-tempered girl. THE LANDLORDS AND THE PRICE OF WHEAT.—II is a generally-admitted fact, that the home market for British manufactures is larger than that of all foreign markets put together. It is of course next to impossible to calcu late with certainty the fall of the price of wheat conse quent on throwing the British market open to all the world, but we may assume that the reduction may be a bout ten shillings a quarter, Which is the estimate of ex- Taking the consumption of Britain at rs of wheat a-year, this beneficial perienced men change, say the Free Traders, gives the country, accord ing to this calculation, a saving of £10,000,000 a-year ; that is, ten millions sterling, which was previously paid by the unjust operation of CLASS legislation to the land holders, will be absolutely extinguished,—it will be no longer paid to them, and be an absolute saving to the community. But before we give such a statement an un qualified assent, it may be worth while to inquire what the landholders do with the ten millions thus acquired? Do they bury it, or is it absorbed in some mysterious way in to the agricultural body, so that the rest of the nation, first robbed by their cupidity, continue to pine under their selfish obduracy ? By no means. Hence in a great de gree the strength of the hme market for manufactures of which we have spoken. They, their families, their ser vants, their dependants, hasten to spend it mainly on the various manufactures of the country. The ten millions do not leave the country, or are absorbed by some unpa triotic slough, but run instantly, as soon as acquired, into inumerable channels throughout the entire country, giving an astonishing impulse and life to every thing from the spinning frames and power looms of Manchester,—from the manufacturers of Leeds, Nottingham, Norwich, Bir mingham, Sheffield, down to the retail dealers in Regent or Bond-street, to those of the most insignificant village of the kingdom. If the wave of prosperity is directed with unnecessary, or as it regards the community at large, even hurtful force, over the green lawns of the aristocratic body, back it instantly flows with an impetuosity which carries it in its fructifying career to the remotest points and corners of the land. Admitting such a view of the question as this, it seems difficult to imagine that the evil of wheat being 10s. a quarter higher than it might be, is of the unqualified description which our Free Traders woula have it to be. Let ten millions cease, according to their impetuous clamour, to come into the pockets of the land holders, it will equally cease to flow out of them again in to theirs, in the purchase, especially, of the elegancies, luxuries, and refinements of life. If eventually the coun try suffer not, in consequence of the saving through the community at large from the lower price of bread, (to ac complish which fall the bakers must be subjected to a spe cies of torture to charge only moderate profits, unknown to the nineteenth centuryi—for the present an embar rassment and derangement in the channels of the home trade is likely to ensue, the extent, the duration, and con sequences of which he must be a bold man who shall pre dicate.—Record.

Mr. BROWNRIGG then alluded to an alleged expression by Sir Joshua Walmsley, to the effect that there were parties on the board with whom he could not sit. Sir J.

Mr. BROWNRIGG said be was quite satisfied with the explanation given. _ The CHAIRMAN said, that supposing the lease: bad taken place, the intetests of the Cheshire Junction would have been fully respected. Mr. WANKLYN complained, at some length, that his name bad been used by the chairman, in connection with a letter he (the chairman) bad received from Mr. Paxton, to the effect that parties connected with the Cheshire Junction h9d been bearing the market with the Birken head and Chester stock, in order to effect a i.urchase of that line. The CHAIRMAN said the letter had ,been read at a meeting of the Birkenhead and Chester board. What he heard was, that negociations were going on, not with the directors, but with certain proprietors. tor the leasing of the Birkenhead and Chester Railway to the Cheshire Junction. He had said he thought Mr. Wanklyn was one of the party, for he had heard so ; but he was sure he never wanted to charge Mr. Wanklyn personally with bearing the shares, and that his expression on that occa- n m - ust have been qualified, and therefore not liable to : interpretation put upon them by Mr. Wanklyn. . . Mr. PAXTON said be had not mentioned Mr. 'Wank lin's name in the letter. Mr. WANKLYN said he was satisfied with Mr. Paxton's explanation. Mr. WGREGOR LAIRD here wished to draw the meet into a discussion relative to the purchase and sale of the land in. Grange-lane ; but the meeting being a special one to hear the report, declined entertaining the question, the law-clerk having given it as his opinion, that no discussion should take place on a question which he found from a letter just handed to him, was to become the object of a chancery suit, at the instance of Mr. Laird. The matter was one for the consideration of the Directors only. The business being concluded, Mr. JACKSON said that at the last meeting he had inti mated his intention to resign the office of chairman, but he now begged permission, under the circumstances, to withdraw that intention.

'andard-qffice, Four o'clock ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE This afternoon, at about twenty minutes past one o'clock, fire was discovered to have broken out in the eight-story bonded warehouse, known as " Sills," No. 369, on the east side of Back Goree, and forming a centre one of a pile of four lofty and valuably filled buildings of the same elevation. The warehouse runs a long.way back to wards Drury-lane, and the smoke was, we learn, first ob served to issue forth from the back part by a man, who gave the alarm. Thomas Brown, the warehouseman, soon atter, without knowing this went to the front in Back Goree, and observed that fire was going on in room No. 3. (the third from the ground,) where some men, who had gone to dinner, had been taking in cotton during the forenoon. Ile attempted to get up stairs to the room, but was driven back by the dense smoke, and hastened to his employers, Messrs. J. Heap and Co., to give information. The alarm was then speedily given to the police, and a large force, with engines, water-carts, &c. were speedily at the spot, both back and front. The building was chiefly filled with grain (chiefly wheat) and cotton, the latter belonging to Messrs. John Heap and Co., who, it is said, had 1,200 bales in two of the rooms, Nos. 1 and 2. The fire was most Curious in the upper rooms, and the flames burst forth from the top part from two tiers of doors nearly contiguous, and which are from the top to the bottom of the building. The doors were of iron, re cently put in on the new principle, but they speedily warped or broke off from their fastenings in the walls, and most of them fell out, being probably secured to timber in the brick-work, the warehouse being an old one, though very substantial of the kind. We noticed early on the ground the Mayor and several gentlemen of the Corporation ; Mr. Dowling, hear:- constable; Chief-Superintendents Quick and Reding; Superintendents Clough, Ride, and Anders ; the whole of the fire brigade, and a great number of the police. The crowds tLat gathered at each end of Back Goree, and other points of view, were immense. _ _ It became manifest almost from the first that it would be fortunate if the fire could be confined to the premises in which it broke out, and every possible exertion was made to attain this object. While some of the town en gines (all being upon the ground) played back and front into the burning building, firemen and others ascended to the top stories and roofs of the two adjoining warehouses, to which hose were hoisted up, and, notwithstanding the great height, the engines that supplied these worked well, and did great service, by enabling the branch men to throw down columns of water upon the roof and burning materials. The supply of water was, on the whole, good, though not at first sufficient from the mains. Fire-engines were stationed under the shed, at George's Dock, and gave a good supply to as many near the building. All the smaller water carts were also out, and brought up loads in rapid succession. About two o'clock the roof and upper floors gave way, but not with any extraordinary crash, and the front of the warehouse, from the falling of which danger was appre hended, still stood perpendicular. Flakes and large tufts of burning cotton continued to fly about in all directions. endangering the neighbouring property. One of these stuck to and lighted a jigger rope of one of the adjoining warehouses, but it was lowered to the street before any mischief was done. The wind at the time was blowing rather freshly from the nort'. and as thi .e pile of ware houses lies north and south, those on the south side were the more liable to ignition. The flames at times rose many feet over the top of the burning building, but at no ..ime was the fire of so furious a nature as many as we have seen in our locality. By three o'clock, the top rooms, down to it might be said No. 3 were, as it were nearly burnt out. The beams of the floor, which were massive had given way, and such portions of them as stuck to the wall, hung down, attenuated to long, slender, and blazing pieces of char coal. What by the fire, the falling of the materials, and the damage by water, tie whole contents of the warehouses may be considered as destroyed. We have not been enabled to arrive at any estimate of the loss, which must be great. The warehouse on the north side and immediately ad joining is full of wheat and flour, belonging to Messrs. Sandars and Claxton. This will be saved. The ware house on the south side, called " Hallowes," contains very valuable East India goods ; one individual, we learn, Mr. Crosfield, owning property in it to the amount of £lO,OOO. The West of England Insurance Company's engines and an effective body of men were early on the ground, and rendered efficient service. Hose were passed through Messrs. Ingleby and Cook's office (Goree) into Lack Goree, to supply water from the docks. At the time we write, great fears are entertained that the fire will ignite Hallowe's warehouse, and men are em ployed in getting goods out of the centre rooms. The warehouse burnt was rented by Mr. R. Harbord, and let off by him to several tenants. The property was, we understand, all, or nearly all, insured, but we hare-not learned how the risks are divided. The firemen, the police, and others employed, as well as all who directed them, deserve the greatest credit for their:exertions throughout. No accident occurred, though the men in the top rooms of the adjoining warehouses had often hard work to breathe amidst the stifling smoke. FIVE o'cLocx.—Since writing the above, great part of the front wall of the warehouse has fallen into the street, leaving an arch in the brick work above. Four men who were amongst those employed in roam No. 4 have been carried out in a fainting state from the suffocating density of the smoke. One of them was taken to the Northern Hospital. It is said there are still some men in the same room, in a dan gerous way, but it is hoped they will be got out. The cotton, &c. in Halloin's warehouse is much damaged by the water which it was necessar y to throw against the walls inside to prevent it taking fire.
