LATEST INTELLIGENCE. --...--- LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. The tone of the Liverpool Cotton Market has shown no important change to-day, and only a limited demand has been experienced. The total sales amount to 6,000 bales, of which 500 have been taken for speculation and export. There has been no change in prices. The Liverpool Share Market opened this morn ing with a firm tone, and continued steady throughout the day, closing firm at the follow ing quotations :—Aberdeen, 14t- 141.

Great Luxembourg, 91 911 The ship Thomas and .Ann Cole has arrived from Melbourne, bringing 2,000 ounces of gold, and advices one day later than those received by the Earl of Sefton, namely, to the 27th of April. She reports that the Kent from London arrived at Port Philip Beads on the morning of the 27th April, after an excellent passage of seventy one days. The price of gold was still quoted at 3/ 16s per ounce, with but little business doing. The usual weekly escorts arrived at Melbourne on the 26th of April, and brought in 34 436 ounces of gold. The Royal Charter may be expected to arrive in the Mersey in the course of the ensuing A despatch reached Paris from Madrid, at ten am. yesterday morning, states that Espartero, instead of having left for Logrove, as stated, is still in Madrid. Guerra, at the head of the army and people, was master of Saragossa, to which city no less than eighty-five members of the Cortes had repaired, and formed a junta. This despatch corroborates the letter of our Paris correspondent, in respect to the fact that the French Minister of War had despatched orders to several French regiments to draw closer to the Spanish frontiers, and these orders had been obeyed, but still, the armed force of France assembled on the frontiers of Spin did not answer the rumour which stated that a force of 25,000 men had been assembled. Two war batallions and the staff of the 22nd regiment of the line, in barracks at Neuilly, had left for Bayonne, with directions to make all possible haste to the frontiers. A second despatch, dated Paris, last evening at six o'clock, conveys to us the intelligence that in Madrid order had been completely and perfectly re-established, and in Navarre and Biscay the most perfect calm prevailed. The despatch is, however, silent as to news from Saragossa. 'We learn, however, that from Barcelona, under date of the 18th, that there great excitement pre vailed, and that in the Place de la Constitution large groups of the populace had assembled. A subse quent despatch, however, announces that on Satur day night tranquillity had there been restored, and the militia disarmed and dissolved. It is added, however, that Janquerra had declared against the new government. The news from Madrid, received in Paris on Friday night, states that advices had reached 'from the Spanish capital, that 91 members of the Con stituent Cortes (50 forming a quorum) met on the 14th to pass a vote of want of confidence in the O'Donnell ministry. There was only one dissen tient voice—that of M. Jabuerniga. They were dispersed. A telegraphic despatch from Perpignan says that Barcelona has not risen. Saragossa has declared that it only recognises the ministerial presidency of General Espartero. The Paris journal the Patrie of Friday, says the rumour of a movement at Saragossa is confirmed. General Falcon, commandant of the place, and formerly aide-de-camp to Espartero, has made a pronanciamento, with the concurrence of a portion of the inhabitants ; but, according to private accounts, he was not supported by the troops. These had, on the contrary, retired to the heights, and to the castle which commands Saragossa. All is tranquil at Catalonia. Logrono and Bilboa are said to be in insurrection. A telegraphic despatch from Perpignan says Barcelona has not risen. h nearly a month's later news The arrivals of specie this week have been unusually large, amounting to nearly a million and a-half sterling. The particulars are :—By the Three Sisters, from St. John's, Newfoundland, 12 pkgs. specie; the Telegraph, from Antwerp, 13 sacks bullion, and 11 cases bar silver, the Ravensbourne, from Antwerp, 60 pkgs. bullion ; the Europa, from Sydney, 8001. ; the Bristow, from Adelaide, 8 000/. ; the Catherine Adamson, from Sydney, 15.9001; the Oliver Cromwell from Sydney, 5001; the Sultan, from the Mediterranean, 2,1331. ; the America, from Boston, 220,0001.; the Tyne, from the West Indies, 1,045,687 dols , or 209,320/; the Earl of Sefton, from Melbourne, 40,000 ozs. of cold, or 160,000/. ; the Atlantic, from New York, 01,600 dols., or 18,3201.; the Frances, Henty, from Melbourne, 107,000 ozs. gold, or 428,0001.; the Cole, from Melbourne, 2,000 ozs. gold, or 8,0001. The exports have been, by the Solent, for the West Indies, £2,000 ; the Madrid, for Cadiz, £1.675, and Lisbon, £8,533. Besides this, about £220,000 are presumed to have gone to France, and £12,000 to Cadiz. It is said that the silver to be sent to India and China by the next packet, will be moderate in amount compared with that sent by the previous steamer. It will scarcely exceed £350,000. Thus, notwithstanding the competition for gold from France, and the continual absorption of silver by India and China, our stocks are progressively increasing, though for a week or two it is possible they may not make much impression upon the amount in the hands of the bank. The following is the official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week ending 1 lth July :—Gold coin to Hamburg, 4,740 ozs. ; Belgium, 25,400 ozs. ; Boulogne, 370 ozs. ; bars to Hamburg, 10,949 ozs ; total gold, 41,459 ozs. Silver coin to Hamburg, 24,000 ozs ; Belgium, 17,000 ozs.; Boulogne, 2,600 ozs. ; total silver, 43,600 ozs. , . Th e London Money Market continues tolerably easy, and the Stock Markets to-day generally have been firm all round, and in Railways the decline of yesterday has been recovered. It is more corn monly admitted now than heretofore that money must go cheaper. This circumstance, along with the fine growing weather, a more cheerful tone with regard to the position of the French Bourse, and confidence in the strength of our own commercial and financial position, has materially extended this feeling, though hitherto without greatly increasing the • amount of business transactions. To-day, however, we have had rather more activity than is usual at the end of the week. Consols opened for the account at 951 to I f , and they left off the same, the feature of the market being quietness and firmness. The tendency is certainly upward, though it is manifested but slowly. Railway Shares have been dealt in to a moderate extent; the amount of business, indeed, has been sufficient to produce a recovery from the depression of yes• terday, and there is, apparently, a demand spring ing up from the country for some of the heavy stocks. Great Westerns are per cent. better, and South Westerns are very firm. Lancashire and York- shire, and Midlands have improved 1 toy per cent. Rigas are about the same. Great Western of Canada are heavy. The closing prices were as follow : Caledonian, 611 621. Eastern Counties, 101 101 East Lancashire, 86 88. Great Northern, 97 97k. A, 77 78. Great Western, 611 611 Lancashire and Yorkshire, 98* 98 1 1 London and North Western, 10$1 1081. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 33/ 331. Midland Stock, 821 821 North British, 38 38k. South Eastern and Dover, 74 74g. York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 87 88. York and North Midland, 62-1 621 Some of the foreign securities are rather flitter. Vene• zuela stock has improved £3 per cent. Joint stock banks have been rather largely dealt in. The discount houses are giving only 31 per cent for money on call; some are saying that they will reduce again before the end of next week. The telegraph this afternoon reports business on the Paris Bourse as being exceedingly heavy. The Three per Cent Rentes closed 70fr 95c, showing a decline of nearly 4. Accounts from Alexandria to the Bth inst., state that the Bank of Egypt, formed in London, are about to commence operations. The circular issued by them to the mercantile community, men tions that they possess no special privilege which would be contrary to the treaty. It is also said that a new company has started to solicit a conces sion for towing vessels on the Nile. The commis sion of Consuls-General charged with preparing the code of regulations for the mixed tribunal on commercial affairs in Egypt have already met many times. The work before them presents many diffilulties, but the consular body is able to over come them. The matters pending between that tribunal and the Government had there terminated satisfactorily before the departure of the President, who had left for Europe. Mr. Bruce, the English Consul-general, gets the credit of this, as it was a question which his predecessor, Mr. Murray, had solicited without success from the Government during the viceroyalty of Abbas Pacha. An important letter has been received by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders from the Government of Guatemala, to the effect that the bonds of the loan made by English merchants to the federal government in 1824 is recognised by the republic, and that the interest upon the same from the Ist February ; 1828, to the 31st January, 1856, is recognised equally as a debt of the repub lic ; and that the same shall be liquidated by the issue of new bonds in London, the interest upon the total to be paid out of one-sixth of the mari time dues collected at Guatemala The following are the Gazette average prices of Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending July 15th, 1856, exclusive of Custom's duties payable thereon, on the importation thereof into Great Britain : From the West Indies, 32s per cwt. ; from the Mauritius, 33s 31d per cwt.; from the East Indies, 33s 7 d ; average price of the three fore going descriptions, 32 511.

THE WIRRALL STEAMER.—We are informed that a few days since the passengers crossing the Mersey by this steamer were somewhat alarmed by a rumour on board that the bottom of the cylinder had fallen out. Shortly after the 'Pat left the landing stage, certain it was, that the engines stopped, and she was drifted a considerable way with the tide, and would have gone much further had not a flag of distress been hoisted. The Liverpool went to her assistaLce, and took her in tow, and safely landed the passengers at the slip.

There is there in this steam engines some of the Borough work- The g up to their full power without smol act can only be contradicted by prejudie( mortals, and dfsappointed experimentalists. The chimney of the Waterloo Station of the London and North Western Railway Company is a very conspicuous object.

If it had not been for the harvest tho " limbs of the reaped from their works, their case would have been the solitary exception to the adage—" It is an ill wind that blows nobody good." If it were abed them of nd th the ( poration would blush with shame thoughts of fortunes Messrs. lave been made to pay, for an offence which time has shown can be remedied at a comparatively nominal cost, we would name the enormous sum this one firm have expended in defending actions, and making abortive efforts to escape prosecution. We may leave this story, however, to be told by the sufferers, now that they are free to work as they please, and can save in the consumption of fuel as much as will reimburse all they have paid in fines, costs, &c. If those who ATT and SONS know the value of the new mode of preventing smoke do not adopt it, they can have only them selves to blame when fines are inflicted. All that the law requires has been accomplished, and the patentees of the new smoke consuming furnace guarantee a saving of 20 to 30 per cent. in fuel to the steam employers who use it. And the national desideratum the legislature have had in view, in addition to the preservation of the public health, is made manifest. It would be impossible to form the remotest calculation of th 3 quantity f coal consumed annually in the generation steam The aggregate would sum up to an mount beyond belief, and to effect such a vast n that valuable commodity, can only be second in importance to the introduction of the steam-engine itself. ate authorities can have no sinister object in putting the manufacturers and steam owners of the Borough to trouble and expense, nor have they a rigb.t to continue the smoke nuisance, ich as may be seen daily at the Water Works Copperas-hill, while they levy tines on Mr. EARLE, who is a member of the Corpo- ration, has adopted the smoke consuming furnace, with the same public spirit he has shown on all occasions, where the real interests of the Borough Town Coun are at stake, the oil can no longer plead ignorance as to the existence of a practical remedy for the evil complained of, and the means of attaining a saving of fuel, which will be a boon ibiect with his usual candour he Magis- trates must do their duty when smoke offences arc brought before them, and it is time that the Council tter up with becoming spirit. They are 01 acquainted with steam practically, or ents, know something o the cost of firing and they should at once turn their atten- other large town in the kingdom. The General Board of Health ought also to send down their scientific men to see what has been done in Liver- pool, and not leave the whole country exposed to the operation of an arbitrary enactment, while they are not aware of what has been achieved inthis Borough CABINET COUNCIL.--A council, to meet punctually at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign office, was summoned on Friday. The ministers accordingly assembled. The Duke of Argyll. the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Palmerston, Lord Clarendon, Sir George Grey, Mr. Labouchere, Sir George C. Lewis, and Lord Harrowby, arrived. Lord Panmure was prevented by busi ness in his office, the War Department, from joining his colleagues until near three o'clock. The ministers remained in deliberation until near five o'clock, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with several other members of the Cabi net, proceeded to Greenwich, where the Ministerial white bait dinner, uniformly given every session at its close, took place. THE WEATHER.—Our friend, Saint Swithin, has not kept his word with us this year, for, from the day succeeding his anniversary, the weather has been wet and unfavour able—at least about Liverpool. Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday forenoons, were excessively wet, and at nine o'clock on Saturday evening, rain set in again and con tinued without intermission up to an early hour this morning. This, if general, must retard the harvest, but we trust the; rain has been local. CAUTION TO SAILORS.-Nine sailors, belonging to the ship John Garroway, were sent to gaol on Saturday by Mr. Mansfield, for one week with hard labour, for leaving the ship when she arrived in the river, instead of remain ing until she came into dock, and also until properly dis charged by the captain of the vessel. This should be a caution to sailors who are in the habit of leaving their vessels in the river, thinking the voyage is ended, but such is not the case, as sailors are obliged to remain by the vessels until properly discharged. ALLEGED FRAUD.—We have heard of au extraordinary nd most ingenious fraud, said to have been carried on for some time wi"rh great sucuss in Liverpool. We have also been informed that this swindle, which would have done credit to the catalogue of John Sadleir's exploits, has been done in such a clever and business-like manner, as to prevent suspicion, and what is more, that probably the ends ofjustice will be defeated in consequence of the expertness of the operator, who, we are told, has contrived to evade the law by his mode of operation. Perhaps revelations may take place in a short time, but at this moment we cannot enter into any more details. Probably the case will be investigated publicly—provided there be a law found to reach the delinquent—otherwise possibly the public will not be favoured with the explsure, excep t through our columns, and for the benefit of the mercantile community, we shall do that at the fitting time. THE LIVERPOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION —The midsummer dinner of this society took place on Saturday afternoon, at Mr. Crafter's, Derby Arms Hotel, Rock Ferry. There were about twenty members of the literary corps present— several of the editors and sub-editors of the Liverpool press being unavoidably absent. The chair was taken by Mr. A. C. Baker, the president of the association, and Mr. S. J. Meany, vice-president of the body, was in the vice chair. The dinner was elaborate of all the good thirgs hick this season supplies, and it is only doing justice to Mr. Crafter, the caterer, to say that he di-charged his duties that gave unqualified satisfaction to all present too, were of choice quality. When the clot the chairmen proposed the usual loyal toasts, duly honoured, " Success to the Liverpool Press ASSOC..- tion," was most heartily applauded, and properly responded to. It may be observed that the Association is in a healthy condition, and that these re-unions of the members afford the highest gratification to the body. Saturday evening was spent in the most agreeable and happy manner, and shortly after 9 o'clock the party broke up, having passed the day without alloy drawn TURKEY, A despatch, of which the following is a copy, has been communicated for publication by the Turkish Embassy in London : CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 16. The Sheriff Abdul Montalib, who endeavoured to prevent the successor nominated by the Sub lime Port, to supersede him from taking possession of the government of Mecca, has been made prisoner by the Imperial troops. All the province of Hedjaz enjoys the most per fect tranquillity. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING Reports have been prevalent to-day that the French government contemplated armed inter vention in Spain, on behalf of O'Donnell; but I can assure you, on excellent authority, that it has not the slightest possible intention of intervening, either on behalf of O'Donnell, or Espartero, or the Queen, or anybody else ; it means to leave the Spaniards to settle their own affairs in their own way. But, nevertheless, the French government will probably take precautions for preventing the hubbub from extending beyond its frontiers. The Government, I am assured has, up to this moment, received no telegraphic despatches of any interest; and I have not heard that any from or to private persons have come to hand. As to the newspapers, they, as usual, know nothing ;—those both morning an evening, have no news later than I sent off yesterday. There is, how ever, reason to believe that Sarragossa has not only formally " pronounced against the government, but that the military governor, General Falcon, has headed the pronunciamento. As to the garrison, some accounts say that they have joined the insurgents; others, that they have retired to the heights above the town to await the turn of events. Marshal Narvaez, who has been in exile in this country for some years past, on hearing of the events at Madrid, left Vichy, where ho was drinking the waters, arrived in Paris yesterday morning, and left last evening for Spain. This would almost seem to indicate that he and O'Donnell are in connivance. The Constitutional says that the Emperor is ex pected here on the 25th inst. This is a confirma tion of what I told you some time back. But from information obtained to day, I have reason to believe that the Emperor will probably prolong his stay at Plombieres, until the 10th or 12th of next month. _ The Moniteur publishes the translation of a proclamation from the Bey of Tunis to his sub jects, making known his intention to abolish the duties on tobacco, salt, skins, and a multitude of other objects, and only to derive the revenues of the State from a tax on corn and oil, olive and palm tree, and from pecuniary recompenses for crimes. The same journal gives an account of the wreck of the English vessel mentioned in my letter of yesterday. The vessel was the Spartan from Balaklava, and she was wrecked at the barren isle of Cain, about fifteen miles from Bezerte, but all the troops on board, together with her crew and cargo, were saved. An officer went on shore in a small boat to demand assistance, and the French Consul-general sent off a vessel which took every soul to Tunis, where they were, as stated yester day, generously provided for by the Bey. A fifth remittance of 4,0001 from the Lord Mayor of London, for the victims of the in un d a ti ons , i s a n n o unced in the Mon i teur. ACCIDENT AT THE DOCKS.—On Saturday afternoon, a labourer, employed on board a vessel in the Trafalgar dock, accidentally fell into the hold of a ship, and, besides break ing his leg, received some other very severe contusions. RE-APPEARANCE OF PALMER GROWING OUT OF A TREE ! —Will it be credited that thousands of people have during the past week crowded a certain road in the village of Melling, near Ormskirk, to inspect a sycamore tree which has burst its bark, and the sap protrudes in a shape resembling a man's head ? Rumour spread abroad that it was the re-appearance of Palmer, who " had come again, because he was buried without a coffin !" Some inns in the neighbourhood of this singular tree reaped a rich harvest. _ _ DISSOLUTIONS OF PART NERSHIP.—Mary Weddington and J. Taylor, New York Mill, near Heywood, Lanca shire, cotton spinners.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLER..—On Saturday at the Birkenhead police court, Mr. Farrand, a commercial traveller, in the employment of Mr. Hellaby, hosiery manu facturer, of London, was fined 10 s and costs, i n all 235, for travelling from Chester to Birken head, b y the Birken head and Chester Railway Co., with an expired return day ticket. He took a return day ticket to Chester on the 15th of this month, and not being able to return that day he came down by the early express train on the 16th. On arriving at Birkenhead he was called on to pay 2s 6d, being the amount of a single fare, but he refused and offered Is 6d, the difference be tween the expired return ticket and the ordinary fare. The clerk refused to accept the tender, and the defendant now appeared to answer the complaint of having travelled by . the Company's line with an expi re d ti c ket. He pleaded in his defence that he was a frequent traveller by the line, and that as such heclnsideredthteree would no objection to his travelling on it, under h circumstances, with . an expired ticket, the same p r i v il ege being granted to him on other lines. The magi s t ra t es h e ld that he was not justified in travelling with an expired ticket, and fined him in the above sum, THE COURT ROYAL PAVILION, ALDERSHOTT CAMP, July 18.—Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort, and the Prince and Princess of Prussia, drove round the Camp yesterday morning, and inspected several of the huts of the regiments just returned from the Crimea. The Prince of \Vales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alice, accompanied her Majesty. In the afternoon, the Queen, accompanied by the royal party, rode on horseback to Caesar's Camp, and reviewed the troops.

PORTSMOUTH, July 18,—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal family, accompanied by their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess, and the Princess Louise of Prussia, arrived at the Royal Clarence Victualling yard, Gosport, this evening, at five o'clock, en route for Osborne. On the arrival of the train, her Majesty was saluted, as customary, by the flagships and Garrison Battery. Her Majesty and suite embarked in the royal steam yacht Fairy, which hoisted the standard of Eng land at her main, and the Prussian Royal standard at her fore, and steamed out of the harbour under the cheers of the seamen in the ships and the Ist Royals in the Prince Arthur. On rounding the Spit Buoy the squadron of line of battle ships (•dressed") opened a grand royal salute. The royal yacht steered through the line and her Majesty was most vociferously cheered by the newly arrived troops (the 95th, 20th, 44th, and Royal Artillery), who crowded the bulwarks of the Colossus and Centurion two-deckers. The royal party acknowledged the greeting, and arrived at Osborne at about half past six. Osn aorE, Saturday.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Prussia, walked in the grounds this morning. The Fairy, royal steam yacht, was lying off in the Solent, in readiness, in case the royal party should take a cruise. It is understood that the Queen will close Parliament in person. When the day of prorogation is fixed, her Majesty will leave Osborne on the day pre ceding for Buckingham Palace, when she will hold a court, at which, the speech from the throne, to be delivered at the close of the session, will be sanctioned by the Queen. At present, the day on which Parliament is to be prorogued, is not known. THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT DISORDERLY CONDUCT OF THE GERMAN LEGION. The ill-feeling between the Jagers and other troops at Aldershott has been increasing for several days past, and to such an extent has it now spread, that the military authorities have been compelled to draft off nearly the whole of them to other quarters. Last Sunday evening an instance occurred ; when some twenty of the Germans were returning after a walk quietly and orderly to camp, they were set upon by a number of our troops, who were well prepared with sticks and bludgeons for the encounter. Yesterday, as we were passing over the temporary pon toon bridge thrown across the canal, some of the engineers standing near it exclaimed, " here's two Jiggers coming, let's destroy the bridge." The " Jiggers " were two mounted officers. For much, if not the whole of this ill-feeling, manifested towards them, the German troops are themselves to blame A con flict which took place on Thursday and Friday evenings, originated by the Ist Regiment of Jagers, the same which created a disturbance previous to its embarka tion, and which, in the dialect of Aldershott, " mutinized on board the Transit on their way to Scutari. The regi. ment arrived at camp on Thursday, when hostilities com menced between them and the English Rifles, with the result of two of the Rifles seriously wounded, and several casualties among the Jagers. Which of the parties were to blame in this affair we are unable to say. On Friday evening a more general engagement ensued between the parties. At the north end of the camp there is a large canteen, to which large numbers of the men resort—it is called the Carpenters' Arms. Several of the Germans were drinking in this place, when one of the men of the Highland regiment—the 93rd, we believe—entered. Some remarks, made not in the best spirit by the Jagers, roused the feelings of the Highlander, who retorted upon them with some allusion to the " dressing " which they had got the night before at the hands of the Rifles. Quick as thought, the conflict became a general melee. During three or four hours the conflict was waged with vigour on both sides; not an article of furniture in;the huts, not a piece of fencing, nor anything which the fury of the fight could suggest as a weapon of offence was neglected. Early in the fray the Germans seized the medals and clasps of several of the men, broke them in pieces, and trampled them under foot. At length the arrival of a number of the German light cavalry approach ing in a threatening attitude, led to a mutual cessation of hostilities, the whole of the parties inwardly resolving that the truce should be but a short one, and that the attack should be renewed on the first favourable opportunity. General Knollys on hearing of the disturbance, started off immediately for London, made a report to the Commander in-Chief, and received authority for the immediate removal of two thousand of the Germans, who left the camp yes. terday morning at six o'clock, and were conveyed to Colchester. We learn, moreover, that of the men conveyed to the hospital, four, at least, were actually killed in the fight. It is not our fault if this number is exaggerated, but several eye-witnesses informed us that they saw at least four men who were killed, one having a bayonet thrust through his chest. In consequence of the disturb ance, the 41st Regiment was confined to camp during the day. All now is perfectly quiet at the camp. THREE FIRES IN LONDON On Friday night the metropolis was visited by no less than three confl agra ti ons o f the most extensive character, involving the destruction of a large amount of property. The first fire broke out between ten and eleven o'clock on the premises of Messrs. Pimm and Rands, the Shad Thames Flour Mills, situate at the side of Horsleydown Canal. At the time of the disaster the mill was in full work, and several of the workmen were engaged in the place, when some one cried out, "E scape w i t h your lives ; the mill is on fire." Upon some o f t h e persons on the works going to inspect the place, they saw flames in the first floor warehouse, in which a large stock in trade was deposited. The fire was not subdued until the entire premises, with the surroundiug buildings, had been totally destroyed. Every enquiry has been made by the engineers of the Fire Brigade, but nothing can be as certained at all to account for the outbreak of the fire. At present it is impossible to state the actual amount of loss. —Previous to the outbreak of this fire another had occurred on the premises of Mr. Linningdine, cabinet. maker, situate in Featherstone-street, City-road. The fire extended to the premises of Mr. Cross, timber merchant, and various surrounding buildings, and for some time their total destruction appeared certain ; but owing to the exertions of the fire brigade they succeeded in getting a mastery over the flames, but not before several thousand pounds' worth of property had been consumed The cause of this fire is likewise unknown.-: The third fire took place at the residence of Mrs. Harris, No. 52, Hoxton-square, cabinet upholsterer. The Whitecross-street engine, with that from Wellclose square, soon arrived, when an abundance of water was poured into the devouring element, but the conflagration was not entirely extinguished before one o'clock, the house being entirely gutted, and the property destroyed. There were several children in the house when the fire broke out, who were fortunately saved.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA The British and North American Royal Mail Steamship Company's steamer Asia, Captain Lott, arrived in the Mersey this morning about three o'clock, but up to the hour of our going to press we had not received our usual papers and despatches THE TIPPERARY BANK.-MR. JAMES SADLEIR On Friday last the Assize Commission for the County of Tipperary, was opened at Cloumel, by the Right Hon. Mr. Justice Moore. In his charge to the grand jury he spoke as follows :—The calendar which has been presented to me indicates the amount of the criminal business which is to be transacted at the present assizes ; and, was it not for a circumstance to which I shall presently advert, r should not consider it necessary to trouble you with any observations. Gentlemen, there are upon the calendar only twelve cases for trial, and the crimes which are imputed to the persons charged are not of a very aggra vated character. Gentlemen, the circumstance to which I have already adverted is an intimation that has been made to me of an intention upon the part of the crown to lay before you an indictment against a person of the name of James Sadleir. That person is not amen able at present ; but it is quite competent and quite right of the clown to lay before a grand jury a bill of indictment even when the person accused is not present himself; or amenable at the time of the proceed ings carried on against him. You are, probably, aware that the crime of conspiracy cannot be committed by a single individual. Two, at least, must concur in the commission of a crime of that description. No man cars conspire with himself; and, in order to be guilty of the crime of conspiracy, there must be two or more engaged in seeking to effect one or more common objects. In the present case the associate of Mr. James Sadleir, who is charged by the indictment which will be laid before you, is a person of the name of John Sadleir, I believe the brother of James Sadleir, and they are charged with having conspired together for the purpose of effectuating the illegal purposes stated in the indictment, and to which I may now call your' attention. You probably are aware that the crime of conspiracy, which is the charge imputed to James Sadleir, is of this nature—Whensoever two or more enter into an agreement to effect an illegal object by any means, whether legal or or whensoever two or more enter into an agreement to effect a legal object and purpose, to do so by illegal means, that constitutes the crime of conspiracy, and, gentlemen, in order to constitute the offence it is not necessary that the illegal design should have been carried out. Having the illegal common object of entering into an agreement to carry it out would con stitute the crime, although the conspirators never should have succeeded in accomplishing their object. You are no doubt well aware that there had existed in your county, and up to a very late period of time, a bank which went by the designation and name of the Tipperary Joint Stock Bank. lam afraid that many of you have reason to be aware of its late disastrous failure and of the stoppage of the establishment, with its attendant ruinous re sults. It is alleged in the indictment which will be laid before you that Mr. James Sadleir, being a director and principal manager of that establishment, together with John Sadleir, entered into an agreement to effect the illegal objects which are stated in the different counts in this indictment. Gentlemen, I need scarcely tell you that if persons enter into an agreement or conspiracy, as it is called in legal language, to defraud any portion of her Majesty's subjects, not only in point of morality but also in point of law it is an offence ; and alluding to the abstract of the indictment, which appeared upon the Crown book, these two gentlemen are charged with hav ing entered into a conspiracy to defraud various classes of her Majesty's subjects, and they are publicly charged with having done so by the concoction of false and fabricated accounts and documents. Gentlemen, it is not necessary for me to detail to you the classes of persons whom they are alleged to have intended to defraud. The indictment will be laid before you, and you will see the classes of persons that are there enume rated ; and the question you will have to decide when you come to consider the bill of indictment to be laid before you, is whether you were satisfied upon the evidence that those two individuals did enter into a conspiracy to defraud any of the classes of her Majesty's subjects mentioned in the indictment, and if you should come to the conclusion that they did, it will be your duty to find the bill. The Grand Jury at two o'clock came into court, and found a true bill.against James Sadleir on all the counts of the indictment. The following is au abstract of the indictment : The first count charged that John Sadleir, the deceased, and James Sadleir, on the 11th April, 1856, at Clonmel, conspired by false pretences and subtle means and devices to cheat such of her Majesty's subjects resident in Eng land, as they might be' able to induce to become share holders in the Tipperary Bank of large sums of money. The second count was conspiring to cheat the English parties by false pretences, that the paid up capital of the bank was £100,000; that all the shares had been issued, and were vested in bona fide shareholders, and that John Sadleir and Robert Keating were then directors, they the said John and James Sadleir well knowing the contrary to be the fact. The third count charged that John and James Sadleir by false pretences conspired to cheat the depositors. The fourth count alleged a conspiracy to cheat the depositors by the publication of a false balance sheet, falsely representing the paid up capital of the bank to be £lOO,OOO. The fifth count charged a conspiracy to cheat by false pretences, that the bank was then solvent and able to meet its engagements. The sixth count was for a conspiracy, by false pretences and subtle devices, to cheat the English shareholders of large sums of money. The seventh and eighth counts were also to the effect that the conspiracy was entered into to cheat the English shareholders, and the facts connected with the f.3.lsc balance sheet were specially set out.

DINNER TO THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. —On Friday afternoon a dinner was given, at the Tower, to the fiCIA battalion of the Coldstream Guards, consisting of upwards of 1,000 men. The entertainment originated from a desire of the Duchess of Cambridge to welcome the men baeX from the East, the late Duke of Cambridge having been more than forty-five years colonel of the regiment. The Duchess, Princess Mary, Colonel Upton, Colonel Drum' mond, and many friends and relatives of the officers wer e present.

The, entertainment took place in the large room of the new storehouse of the Ordnance Department, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. There were flags, armour, &c., and Russian trophies from Alma, Inkerma°' and the Redar. ALARMING OCCURRENCE.—OR Saturday night, shortli after ten o'clock, a most alarming occurrence took place at the establishment recently taken in Henrietta-street , Covent-garden, as the offices and board room of the newlf elected Board of Works for the Strand district. The premises in question are th ose w hi c h ha ve b een wed known for many years as Ofiby's wine and spirit vaults' and which have recently undergone much improvemen t ' and a great deal of bea u tif y i ng . On the Stra n d B oar d 0 ,, Works coming into p ossess i on, it w as found necessary t build a new party wall on the west side, and th e worsj which has been progressing for some time, was complet e r , and the scaf f olding removed. At the time mentioned 0 A Saturday night the whole of this party wall fell out war t : with a tremedous crash, carrying with it the whole o f thif, remaining portion of the adjoining premises and levelling it to the ground. A man named Pace, the porter to Of; Board of Works, and his wife, occupy apartments in th e house, and at the moment of the occurrence Pace We' standi n g at the door talking to the night watchrpa n, es , whilst his wife was in the lower part of the prows d Sh e , h o wever, in a moment after the fall of the building' r m ade her appearance , and set the point at rest as to he r safety.
