SEWAGE OF TOWNS.

Mr. BRADY, in rising to call the attention of the house
to the reports of the royal rismiesiou appointed to inquire
into the beet ands of Miltaisg the sewage of towns, tad
apply it to beneficial and profitable men, and to move a
resolutioo declaring the inexpediency of granting any further
pablio mosey fee the use of the sommisalon, said
that the melded of his motion was of import-
ance, not only to every person who passaged an
sere of land, bat to army individual in the sountry.
He would join isens with the royal oommissioners upon
every am of their experinieste, and he would prove that
their nosolaidons were all incorrect. Be thought the go-
versant, in their laudable anxiety to do their duty to the
ought to discharge the commissioners who were so
ill °ruling those duties for which they were appointed.

t. HER'SZYMER said the object.rof the
hen. gentleman (Dr. Brady) appenred to be to get wit-
mesas to say that enrage was worth twopence • pound, bat
he could not get then to say it. (Haar.) This sewage
was sot applicable generally to other than mass mope,
because they could sot pour it over cereal crops during
the whole year, whereas with regard to rue it might
be constantly miming. Now as to the ersilence of Lord
Beer, the very first sentence of it pnt the
honourable member out of court. That noble lard
used 6,000 tons of sewage in the year in the production of

moil made to improving the sanitary condition of the town,
but he was afraid that no profit would accrue from spread-
ing this sewage over large extents of laud. He could only
my he was not et all thin-skinned; and, therefore, if the
home thought the time had come when • stop ought to be
pat to this public expenditure he should bow to ite decision.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. COWPER said the boo. member for Leitrim maned
to have certain opinions oa the subject of sewage mot
shared is by other persona. (Hear, hear.) But the hos.
gentleman hewing found that his opinions were thwarted
and modernized by the publication, of the royal ecentoie-
aloe—and the results of commiation were not matters
of opinion, but matte's of fact and experiment—lt seemed
the bon. member now suggested to the home and to the
government that the royal oomndesion shield be alto-

EITARSIVE FIRS AT BLACIWALL.

SUPPOSED EXPLOSION OF PETROLEUM.

Last night considerable alarm was created in the
immediate vicinity of the Ewe and West India Docks and
some of the large shipbuilding yards at Blackwell by
the outbreak of a very extensive fire, preceded by as
alarming explosion, at the manufactory and stoves
of Mr. Langley, shiocheedler, situate in Russell-
street, a thoroughfare leading from Blackwell-stairs to the
collier basin of the West lode Docks. The premises occu-
pied a considerable space on the north side of the street, sod
comprised oil and paint stores, rope, sail, chain, and other
warehouse', and loft. The first intimation the neighbourhood
had of the outbreak of the fire was an alarming explosion which
blew out the front of that section of the building used
for the storing of oil; &c., the commies being felt for
some distance round. Immense clouds of black smoke im-
mediately followed the shock, and io a few momenta huge
sheets of flame shot up. For a time there was a kind of
panic amongst the inhabitant'', who wore apprehensive of
another sad more serious explosion ; and it is stated that ie
len than ten minutes or so nearly the whole of
the property presented one sheet of Ire, illuminating the
shipping in the river and the adieu's& docks. A strong body
of the K division of police under the direction of Inspector
Bare, and the Thames polite with Inspector Todman, were
soon in attendance, with the engines from the Einem' West
India Docks, and vigorous efforts were made to preserve
the adjoiniog buildings, which at ►hat time were on &resod
in great danger. Captain Shaw, the superintendent of the
Loudon Fire Brigade, eubeigneutly reached the sauce with
several steam fire-engines, ►nd et a late hour the conflagra-
tion was subdued, but the whole of Mr. Lungley's pre-
mises were destroyed and damage dons to the adjacent
property. The origin of the fire could not be correctly as-
certained, !but the reporter was informed by the police
that the explosion wan supposed to have originated from
the ignition of petroleum. It is duo likely that some ships'
signal lights might have been stowed in the place. When
'the premises were closed the usual precautions were taken
to see that the place wee safe. The property wee insured
in several officea Mr. Edinger, of the East London Water-
works, was in attendance, and there was au abundant supply
of water from the rosins.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S CON-
TEMPLATED VISIT TO PLYMOUTH.

A meeting which was holden at the Mechanics'
Institute, Plymouth, as Monday, with a view to secure •
visit of the Royal Agricultural Society to that town in 1065„
was a decided succor. The promoters at the movement
may be fault' courratukted oe the character of the demon-
stratiou than made. DOTOOShin sod Cornwall, as well ae
Plymouth, Devooport, and Sionehonse, were fail repro-
sentod. The report made by the mayor wed by the
of the South Demo Railway Company as to the disposition
of the Royal Agrie•ltaral Society towards Plymouth was
most e•ooereglug. and excited in those who were t
that oonfideet hope which is the sure precureor d active
exertions sod ultimate Downes. The speeches of Sir Massey
Lopes, Bart., Mr. Bastard, Ir. Archer, and kr. Triomphe

EARL RUSSELL TO MR. ELLIOT.

Foreign-office, Oct. 10, 1863.
Sir —I observe that in Sir James Hudson's
despatch of the 4th instant he states as follows
" His Majesty having been pleased to ask me wby
I quitted this court, 1 replied that I bad conceived
myself bound by an engagement with your lordship
to do so. Offered promotion in March, 1862, I had
obtained permission to decline it, and to continue
to reside at his Majesty's court till such time as
my pension for public service was due to me."
The circumstances were these. There was a
report in 1860 or 1861 that an intention existed of
appointing Sir James Hudson to an embassy. This
report had no foundation • no such intention
existed. In March, 1862, I had reason to suppose
that an embassy of importance might soon become
vacant. Casting about for a fit person to recom-
mend to her Majesty for a difficult and very
responsible post, I could think of none more able
or more deserving of promotion than Sir James
Hudson. But out of regard for him I consulted
him beforehand ; and as I found that, though ready
to accept an embassy, he did not wish to leave
Turin, the matter fell to the ground.
I made no engagement with Sir James Hudson,
and never expected that he would resign till it
should suit his own convenience to do so. When
therefore, in the spring of this year, he intimated'
to me his intention to resign his post, I concluded
that, after more than thirty years of public service,
he wished to retire from an anxious and laborious
poet. I never supposed that Sir James Hudson
was bound to me by any engagement, nor, till very
recently, did !imagine that he conceived himself to be
so bound. You may repeat this statement to all who
may inquire from you as to the cause of Sir James
Hudson s resignation. You will also send a copy
i• of this despatch to Sir James Hudson.—l am, etc.,
(Signed) $1781111.1.

MR. ILLIOT TO EARL RUSSELL.
(Received Oct. Th.)

Turin, Oct. 11, 1863.
My Lord,.—ka it appeared from Sir J. Hudson's
despatch, marked separate, of the 4th inst., that
he had stated to the King that his reason for re-
signing his mission was that he was under an en-
gagement to your lordship to do so when due for a
pension, I thought it right, in the course of my
conversation with his Majesty, to assure him that
Sir James had laboured under an entire misappre-
hension in entertaining the belief that you wished
to remove him from Turin.

I informed the King that your lordship bad
officially conveyed to Sir James the entire approval
of her Majesty's government of his conduct during
the time he had represented her Majesty at this
court, and that it was with much regret that you
had consented to his request to be allowed to retire.

North Crofty and Wheal Seton shares, at better
prices. Chiverton Moor and Nangilea are firm, and
New Roeewarne and Chiverton weaker. Subjoined
are some of the present quotations, viz. :—Chivertoa

Foreign and colonial mining shares are without
change. Rust del Rey have been dealt in at 1, and
Kapunda at 1.

the accounts showed a profit upon the quarter's
operations of 1:14f. A dividend of ss. per share

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS..

MA RK-LANL-(THIS DAY. )

There was a very poor show of hosee-grown wheat is
to-day's market as to quantity ; but the general quality of
the samples was very tue. The atteadasce of both tows
and country millers was small ; nevertheless, the dernsud
for both red and white parcels ruled steady, and Lot
week's prices were well supported.
We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Selected qualities were taken to • moderate extent, oa
former terms. Low and damp parcels moved off heavily, at
barely previous currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were inactive, but not cheaper.
Fitts barley commanded • steady inquiry at full quota-
tions. Grinding and distilling aorta wore a dull side, at
late rake.

New malt was held at very full prices ; but the demand
for it was by no means active. In old qualities very little
was doing.
The oat trade was in a sluggish state, at Mooday's prior.
The show of foreign oats was large.
We have again to report a heavy inquiry for beam In
the quotations, however, no further change took place.
The inquiry for peas was wholly in retail, at barely sta-
tionary price,.
Both Begliah and foreign flour changed hands slowly, at
Moriday's quotations.
The seed trade was heavy, on former terms.

through intrigue, that the Bank of Portugal is insol-

confidence in the establishment. A disagreement

bank, and Sr. Bessone, • leading shareholder, and
many carious details have found their way into the
public papers. The bank, however, is generally
believed to be perfectly solvent.

Langievricz, with 6,000 of his followers, arrived
at Zombkowitz early this morning.
An engagement took place between his forces and
the Russian troops, in which the latter were totally
defeated.

BRESLAU, Musa 2.

Travellers arrived here report that another vic-
tory has been gained by a body of 4,000 Poles near
Myskow.
The Russians who were defeated were proceeding
from Czenatockau to Zombkowitz to reinforce the
troops attacked at the latter place by the insurgents.
Many of the Russian wounded have been brought
to the railway terminus at Myskowicz.

WARSAW, MAaca 1, Emma.

Yesterday about 80 persons assembled in the
Herrenstrasse, preparatory to joining the insur-
gents. They were attacked by the police, and, after
several shots had been fired from an adjoining
house, were compelled to take to flight. In the
struggle one of the townspeople was killed. No
further disturbance took place, and perfect tran-
quillity now reigns in Warsaw.

THE POLISH QUESTION.
BERLIN, ifAwn 2.

The Nord Deutsche Zeitung of to-day says :
" Some journals have published disquieting news
respecting the disposition of foreign powers, and
especially that of France, on the Polish question.
We are enabled from authentic information to state
that the news in question is entirely groundless.
" According to communications from the foreign
representatives at the Prussian Court and those of
Prussia abroad, whatever there was that might
have given rise to a conflict has disappeared."
The same journal stigmatizes as inventions the
news that Count Kulenberg and Herr von Mulder
were opposed to the convention with Russia, and
that Herr von Bismark Schonhausen had ever ten-
dered his resignation.

VIENNA, MARca 2.

The semi-official General-Correspondenz of to-day
says :—" Since the Polish insurrection has, by the
convention between Russia and Prussia, become an

CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ceylon arrived yesterday at Southampton, with the above
mails, 59 prompts, 2,700 packages of cargo, including 651
bales of silk, value 60,000/. ; and 672 bags of silk, saved from
the wreck dike Colombo.

The Ceylon experienced heavy gales after leaving Malta,
and'ersa compelled to heave-to for twenty-four hours. Since
then she has had fine weather.

On the 21st Feb. the Ceylon spoke the barque Henry
Woolley; on the 26th, the barques Ampthill, Delhi, and
the brig Julia ; on the 27th, the barque Annie ; and on the
Ist instant, the steamer Delta.

The Para, with the mails of the 20th, left Gibraltar on
the 25th Feb.

Exchange on London at Gibraltar waa quoted at 501 to
501 for 90 days' sight ; on Paris, 580 ; on Marseilles, 531 ;
on Madrid, 8 days sight, 1 premium. Freights were un-
altered.

The Ceylon, in canape up the river, and when about half
• mile from the Docks, went ashore at high water. She is
about six feet deep in the mud. Some steam tugs will en-
de►eowr to get her off with to-morrow mornings tide, but it is
considered doubtful if she will come off without discharging
some portion of her cargo. It is not anticipated that she
will sustain the least damage.

France, would place the Imperial government in a vary
