JEOPARDY OF THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICES FROM
FIRE—SS detailed in the reports of the Deputy-Keeper of
the Records. There are five branch Record °Mersin London.
Carlton-ride, Pall-mall, holds the Common Law Records
from the 13th century. Mr. Braidwood, of the fire-brigade,
says Carlton-ride, originally the riding-school of old Carlton
House, " is very unfit for the purpose ; " the walls are alight
and of indifferent workmanship. An accident from fire
occurring in any part of it renders it likely that all or the
greater part of the valuable contents would be more or ler
damaged. From the great size of the building there would
be no chance of extinguishing .a fire there, if it had attained
any great extent. The place is constantly watched by two
policemen and a fireman. The insurance of this building
would be ss. per cent., or more than trebly hazardous. The I
Rolls Chapel and House, in Chancery-lane, contain chiefly
the Chancery Records. The danger of fire is very consi-
derable. A fire was discovered within two years in the flues.
They are heated by hot air, one of the most dangerous modes
of heating. There are two watchmen. The insurances
would be 2s. per cent., or extra hazardous. The Chapter
House of Westminster Abbey contains the venerable Domes-
day-book of William the Conqueror, the most precious docu-
ment in the world. The great quantity of timber and the
size of the building would render its destruction certain if
once fairly on fire. The risk is estimated at 2s. per cent., or
extra hazardous. The Tower of London is the fifth branch,
and holds the Chancery records from the time of King Jobe.'
Underneath the White Tower is a gunpowder magazine ;1
and the tower itself is used as a warehouse for all descriptions
of stores, with labourers constantly at work. Owing to the
great size of the building and the quantity of atom in it,
the fire would be so unmanageable that there would be little
chance of saving a single leaf of the records, as the floor
where they are kept would be filled with smoke and heated air
almost immediately after the fire took place. " Ne merchant
el ordinary prudence would keep his books of accountsin the
tame situation in which the records are placed in the White
Tower. The fire inset once would be 5a per cent., or more
than trebly hazardous."
ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—Yesterday the police
received information that Mr. Gerald, of Anslie-street,
Somers-town, had been robbed of a bag containing 1471. in
gold, whilst riding in an omnibus between Kingsland and
Bishopsgate-street.
TUE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE AND THE LORD
MaYou's Snow.—ln consequence of the Lord Mayor's Day
having yesterday fallen on the principal Smithfield market
day, a number of ac:idents occurred owing to the various
herds of beasts being driven through the city. In Bridge-
street, Blackfriars, opposite Bridewcll Hospital , Jane Under-
wood, a child scarcely seven years of age, was knocked down
by an ox, and before assistance could be rendered, the poor
child was so severely kicked sod trampled upon by three or
four of the animals that there is little hope of recovery.
Shortly afterwards, on Blackfriars-bridge, a child named
Cothing was tossed by an ox from the same drove, and sus-
tained such injuries as to endanger its life.—aVN OVER BY
A Gto.—ln Earl-street, Blacktriars, a young woman named
Tilley, yesterday evening, was knocked down by a gig pro-
ceeding towards Upper Thames-street. The wheels of the
vehicle having passed over her in addition to the heavy
trampling of the horse' she sustained numerous fractures and
other injuries, which in all probability will result fatally,
—RUN OYER BY A CAB.—Last night, shortly before 12
o'clock, Mary Ann Thomson, aged 25, a married freaky re.
siding in Beech-street, Barbican, was run over by * raj IS
Ludgate-hill. She was picked up insensible, and noon
examination being mode by a surgeon it was found that the
wounds inflicted were of such a description that it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the poor creature will long survive
the occurrence.
ROBBERY IN THE MIDDLE AND INNER TEMPLE..
—About a week ego a person presented an order from the
Queen's printer, to the Rev. Mr. Rowlett, the librarian, for
certain volumes of the Statutes, which were instantly given
him. On Saturday he presented a similar order for addi-
tional copies, which were not only furnished him, bat, at his
request, were made into a parcel for him by tisi smistmid he
the librarian. He had not, however, departed many animates,
before suspicion was carted that all was not right, and an
inquiry having been set on foot, it was ascertained that the
order upon the library was a forgery: and, further,. that a
similar and an equally successful forgery hail been perpeteelei
upon the Inner Temple, and the library of Bow-street pollee-
court. As it is supposed, that, emboldened by his success, he
will attempt similar robberies upon other public libraries,.l
there is a hope entertained that the offender will be In I
1 the hands of justice. It is believed that the depte lo • 1
person who has been lately in the employ of the. Queen's
printer, as he said that he wanted the Statutes to correct a
mistake in the bound numbers, which was an accurate repro-,
mutation. •
ATTEMPTED SclClDE.—Yesterday, • young man,
blown to be highly connected in the county of Gloucester,
irls has lived for eighteen months at No.' 1, York-wean*
•WeeMninster, under the name of George Samuel Tenser,
Adlinipted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with d
Mese. The unfortunate gentleman, whose age does not
mooed 2S; bad from some cause' been estranged from hie
blend* having habituated himself to dissipation. He had
an allowance of 101. per month to live on. Some time ago
ago he' became acquainted with a dancer who was
known by' the name of Ellen, and who joined him in his
exoemes. Oa the receipt of each: monthly Riley/ante it was
'Ares in frivolity and inebriation; and for the remainder of the
month they were often In a state of •poverty. About a fort-
night since the girl was authorised to receive his allowance,
which it is stated she did; and absconded, leaving her para-
mour in the greatest distress he soon commenced selling
what little furniture they bad, the proceeds of which he
sprit in drink. Yesterday morning, not appealing as anal;
the neighbours became alarmed, and op a man of the arise
of George, the landlord's agent, going to the rear of the m-
onism, discovered the unfortunate man lying weltering in
a pool of blood, which was fast issuing from his throat, in
his bed-room. The doors were broken open, and the
wretched being, who was alive, bat perfectly Insensible,
was conveyed to -the Westminster Hospital, where, on exa-
mination by Me. Wildbore, the house-surgeon, it was found
he had inflicted en severe a wound in his throat, that
although the carotid artery was not separated, little hopes
were entertained of his recovery. So determined had
his intention of selftdestruction been, that in addition to the
razor, a penknife lying open was found at his side.
ALARMING FIRE AT lIMEHOCSE.—Last night,
about half-past eleven o'clock, a fire, causing gnat
damage, broke out in an eater.sise cooperage at Liambinee.:
for which no fewer than six engines of the brigade, as well
as those of the West of England and County office' attended ;:
but such was the early aesidance rendered by them residingi
near the spot, that the. Surrounding neighbourhood
that destruction which was anticipated.

THE LABOUR RATE ACT.
TYRONE.—Ureaa DUNOLNEON.— The extraordinary
presentment sessions for the above barony were held in the
courthouse of Cookstown, on Monday, at twelve o'clock.
Before the hour mentioned in the notice had arrived, the
room was densell. crowded by farmers and labourers, whose
anxious whisperings and angry-looking countenan gave
premonitory symptoms of that brewing storm which
when the proceedings commenced. The
having assembled, Colonel Stewart took *re=
Some gentleman from the bench having sease!mr
that there should be an adjournment, the .pespiri
almost universally rusted, "No adjournment." For 20
minutes there was ne business transacted, owing to the shoat=
ins and roaring of the people in the body of the court. .At
Colonel Stewart said, If there be any individual who
to say anything, let him mine forward, sad he will
Rodeo attention from us, but twenty people speaking at
sue we will not listen to. Michael Monaghan said he wished
to rework that theseessions, which were being held for the

with whisk he was acquainted until twelve o'clock or
Saturday ; the persons in those districts had not had time .
=7. proposals, and were consequently unable to avail
Ives of them. He suggested that there should be an
adjournment. The mention of adjournment was the
rfor a fresh scene of confusion and tumult. Shouts
`ai No adjournment" rang through the court. The room
having been densely packed by the mob, the heat became
insupportable to them, and they next commenced crying,
"Come to the shambles; "—" out—out—the shambles—the*
shambles." For some time no person would be listened to;
but the malcontents, having become exhausted by their
continued attempts at disturbance, at last gave signs of a
cessation ,• upon which, Colonel Stewart said—l mentioned
to you before that it is our anxious wish that you should
hear everything that was going on. You would not listen
to us, but your conduct will not prevent us from doing our
duty. The following presentment has been proposed. and
approved of by the magistrates and associated cos-payers :
" That 4,0004 be presented for the purpose of thorough-
draining, and that the sum be applotted over the different
electoral divisions within the barony.ef Upper Dungannon."
Col. S. concluded by saying : We have adjourned these sessions
until Thursday, in order to give time to send in proposals for
