THE REV. MR. SHORE AND THE BISHOP

OF EXETER. ------
Last night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of the inha-
bitants of Stockwell use held at the Stockwell Educational
Institute, Stockwell-green, for the purpose of considering the
propriety of adopting • petition to parliament, praying for
an alteration in the law, by which the Rev. Mr. Shore has
been amerced in costa, and liable to imprisonment for life,
for contempt, at the suit instituted monad him by the
Bishop of Exeter, for preaching the gospel sines his seeemion
from the church of England, and in respect of which he is
now • prisoner at Exeter.
Mr. CARLISLE, of Acre-lane, was called to the chair,
and opened the budness of the meeting by reading • letter,
addressed to the Rev. Mr. Thomas, from the Rev. Mr.
Shore, stating that he bad been arrested in Spa-fields Chapel,
on Friday last, and that he expected to be taken to Bt.
Thomas's Prison, at Exeter, and that he should be, of I
worse, unable to attend the meeting.
The Rev. Mr. BEAN moved a resolution to the effect
that the meeting regarded the command given by the
founder of Christianity to any individual Christian, to
I preach his holy gospel, and administer the ordinances of the
church as altogether beyond the province of human autho-
rity—• right on which no court, civil or ecclesiastical, can
interfere without great and mama st wrong.
Mr. T. B. SIMPSON seconded the resolution, which
having been carried,
The Rev. Mr. S. GREEN, Wolves* sieved:

HEALTH OF LONDON EPRING THE WEEK. By
the Reesmar General's report, we learn that a decided is-
prounaent In the public health has occurred during the
week ending March 10. The deaths registered in Ludas,
which in the three previous weeks were r. spectively 1,225,
1,191, 1,138, have declined to 1,047, or 122 lase than the
winter average. A remarkable improvement has occurred
in the mortality from epidemics ; for, whereas this class of
disuses wu fatal is the three previous weeks to 333, 318 and
310 persons respectively, in the last week the deaths were
only 243, which fa little above the average. Small
pox does not prevail muck at present ; -measles is un-
usually low. Scarlatina and hoopusg cough show a decrease
on the previous weeks; and now the mortality from the
former does not much exceed the average. The deaths from
hoping cough were 69, which Ls more than the average by
27. Typhus has fallen to the average, nsseMy, 42 deaths.
Fatal eases of diarrhoea and dysentery were 21, bglag 7 more

preceding weeks they were 49, 40, and 35. Of the 16, two
occurred in Warburton's Lunatic Asylum, Bethnal-green
flu in the workhouse of St. George in the Ram. The
mortality from diseases of the organs of circulation is also
unusually low. Three men died of delirium tremens; a
man and a woman of intemperance (both cases attended with
epilepsy); also a woman from filing in the strut
when drunk. A woman died in Mlle Rad, " eight
days after childbirth, of typhoid fever, from previous
poor living." A man of 34 years died of " hustled
disease—obstruction of colon through its whole length'

The building., which were of censiderable depth. were Arc

ground tor supposing that one, if not two psalms have pe-
rished. Polies constable 629 of the city force, first saw
smoke in huge volumes radio, out of the first floor windows.
In the course of a taw Ideates several parties made
their escape down stabs ; bet the females were se fright-
ened that the mutable wee obliged to eater the bald-

weesepliased the flames had burst through the front
window en the first floor. The Royal Seday's
fhweeespe Dom Aldgete-pump was at the scene to the
mune of a few minutes after the outbreak, when the
who lad inapt d tried out that several persons were
she part of the premises, and begged of the mew
Ems to save them if possible. The ember*: placed his
machine in bent of the hews, and whilst be was at the top
attempting to search the upper rooms, the dome shot out in
• body, fired the canvas baggier of the serape, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that the impasse, fn toying to
save the loves of his fellow creatures. had sot himself fallen
• prey to the fury of the fire. Several engines speedily
reached the scene, when the drones found the dames
menthes so high into the air as to endeaccer the adjoining
property. The engines, however, having been well supplied
with water, they were set to work, and by a little after 12
o'clock the fire was extinguished, but sot until the whole of
the premises from the ground-door were burned. The fin-
nan were searching the ruins to see whether any parties had
been lost, as was rumoured. The origin of the fire, or whe-
ther any of the sufferers are insured, wad not be learned
florin the excitement which prevailed.
