81i,—After the dreadful loss of life occasioned by
the fire in Gilbert-street, any one who can proves a mode of
escape which can be easy and attended with some degree of
certainty, I am sure will meet with the approbation of the
public. I have lung entartaioed en idea that a descent from
• house on fire might be aecomplished by the following
means—and should this proposal be thought practicable,
and attended with safety to persona unfortunately left amidst
the &WM on such melancholy occasions, I trust you will
lend your aid in making it known by the Memnon of this
letter in your widely circulated paper.
The plan I would propose is this : I would have on each
story of • house • eliding balcony, hung, like • window sash,
with chains Meted of rupee ; it should be placed in • French
window, and the weight of whoever might rush into it
would carry it down, and on getting nut, the side weights
would draw it up again. This would be a sure escape ; as
the machine would act of iterlf when put in motion, and no
want of resolution in the person descending would defeat the
effect. To prevent 0041C11•6116 when it reaches the bottom I
would have • spiral spring attached to the lower part of the
balcony ; if this could be aocomplothed children would be car-
ried down with as much safety os full-grown persons, and if
there should not be • sufficient weight to overbalance the
side weights, I would have in a recess by the window
weights to throw into the balcony. These balconies cannot
be placed immediately over each ether. The melancholy
seem which has tak.n piece, attended with the lose of M-
ims lives, proves the futility of relying on fire-escapee as
they are now attempted, as the time lost between the break-
oat of the fire and the bringing of the fins-escape renders
k logos/able to rescue any of the unfortunate inmates of the
boars and the preempt proposal will always put • mode at
means in the power of the lumpiest person. lam aware bow
dillwalt It is to get others to coincide with you in any ilitl•••
tits, bat it this ran be dons and improved upon by any inge-
nious engineer it might be the means of saving many lives.

TO Till EDITOR OT THI =PRIM

81a,—Under the above beading has appeared a
paragraph in your imweeim which contains statements
premffidal to my rofese reputation, which are not only
tuoorrect, but directly reverts of truth.
I allude to the cm of Mr. William Austin of Faraquhar,
Dundrieethint, who is reported to have suddenly died in en
express train, on his way to Scotland.
The report states that I gave my opinion that "Mr.
Austin was sufficiently strong to travel," and that ac-
cordingly he left Euston-equare with his wife," Az.
The facts of the case are these : —Mr. Austin consulted me
on the 6th of February last, having stated to me be bad
been under the treatment of several medicentlemen, who
had treated him for a complaint of the stomach.
After examining his case, I told the gentleman who accom-
panied him, Mr. M Inept, tiat his disease wee not one of the
stomach, but extensive tubercnisrizal ions of his lungs, acoom-
panied with a large cavity, and that it was impossible he
Gould recover.

Marlborough-square, Chelsea, as the report states), during
the whole of which time be continued to get won;
Prom my drat attendance upon him, be repeatedly =-
pressed a wish to go to Scotland, to which I distinctly and
emphatically objected, also explaining to Mr. Wlntyrs, in
whore house he resided (not his brother"; as stated) that the
cavity was so extensive that there wee a danger of his dying
an the way from suffocation, which opinion has proved too
tribe.

During my last three interviews with him, Mr. M'lntyre
and his wife informed me that he was determined to go, to
which I urged my tbrmer objection, adding that if be did so
it must be on their own respowibility, not mine.
I enclose you a letter winch I have received from Mr.
M'lntyre to vouch for the correctness of my views of the
cue, which I trust you will, In justice to me, insert with
my own.—l am, &c.,

dint of the omission of whole pleas, and the anteing down

we should think, nearly one-half of the entire work.
And be did wisely for he retained the noblest
and most beautiful features of the music—little wee let out
that was worth retaining—and the performance, after all,
mended the ordinary length. One thing we could have
dented—some enrichment of the orchestral score, which is so

the blur and variety of modern instrumentation.

Ths pwlensance was highly meritorious. The principal
singers were Mir Henke, Mho Palmer, Mr. Sims Reeved,
Mr. esalky, end Mr. Thomas-all excellent. Reeves, in
particular, rag roagnifioently. His "Total eclipse" was a
ary:of despots, uttered r it wed to be by &sham in his
best days; and his " Why dor the God of Israel

were rug with accuracy and power, but they war too uni-
formly loud, and deficient is those gradations of monad on
which rensicel eireenon sad efface so much decried. The

IN IN PARSES AND RONALD.-THE •CCON lODATION

PYSTEIt.

This was the certificate meeting in the case of James
Parker and James Ronald, warebouenten and commission
agents, of Bread-street. The case war remarkable for the
large amount of liabilities incurred by the bankni up-
wards of 18,0001., in accepting without
oonsidssn-
tion for the hone of Ronald and Company, of
Paisley. The report of Mr. Pennell, the official assignee,
discloses the principal tuts. It appears that the bankrupts
commenced business in January, 1864, with a email surplus
of 711. They now owe to unsecured creditors 4,3891. ; liabi-
lities en bills drawn by Ronald and Co., of Paisley, 18,0601.;
profits on commiseions 5,5691. The book debts are stated
at 6301.; property, 2,0221.; trade expense, 2,0911. Packet's
drawings, 1,8441.; Ronald's ditto„946l. ; loss on realise-
Hen, 1,6861. The bankrupts bad acted u the agents of
emend firms, principally for Roland and Company, of
Parley; Barclay, Paton, sad Co., of Glasgow; and Heiden,
of Paisley ; the first-named firm of Ronald and Co. being
lib
thaean of
coesignors. The bankrupts were under
tit. 18,0601. for soceptances for Ronald and Co. They
bad beanie the habit of accepting in this way some time, the
bills as they became due being provided for by Ronald and
Co., either m good", cash, or renewals.
In answer to a question from the court the official 'engem
stated that the property had realised 1,7001., but there was a
dispute as to whom it belonged. Ronald and Co. had sus-
pended payment in 1867. Their profits had hen 34631.,
from which it might be inferred that the sto was attri-
butable to the failure of their correspondent* in Soothed.
His Honour observed that this was not quite the case, for
the expenses, including the domestic expenditure, largely
exceeded the profits.
Mr. Murray. for the mignon, said that the great folly of
the bankrupts was in accepting bills to so large an extent
without consideration for Ronald and Co., who were rela-
tives of one of the bankrupts. The system had been going on
some years, and the bankrupts could not put a stop to it
without bringing down the house of Ronald and Co., which
was now under sequestration. The benkrepts, being com-
mission agents, were convenient drawing posts ; end their
excuse was, Oh, we expected to get goods to cover the

PARIS, WIMIZSDAT Evaxato.

M. Delangle was the son of an artisan of the de-
partment of the Nivre. His "early struggles" to
achieve a position in Paris were severe, but his
talent ultimately prevailed over all obstacles. It
has not been stated that his acceptance of the
Ministry of the Interior implies his resignation of
his post of President of the Imperial Court of Paris.
I am not aware that there is any legal incompati-
bility, but the two places could not be decently
held together; and already the names of Billault,
Benoit Champy, and Chaim d'Patange, are talked
of at the Palais as candidates for the high judicial
office assumed to be vacant. M. Delangle will
leave a void on the bench not easily to be
filled up. A determined opponent of the present
government says of him that he was "an
incomparable judge, a finished lawyer, and a man
of remarkable penetration—his judgments are

landmarks of law." I believe no member of the
profession will contradict this testimony to his
judicial capacity. On the other hand, his manners
are not amiable, and be is subject to fits of passion
likely to distort his judgment, bat no instance of
his having been misled by his feelings is cited.
The Bourse declined at the opening, but became
rather firm in the afternoon. The Rents closed at
yesterday's prioe,6Bfr. 300., for cash, and rase 10c. for
account, closing at 68fr. 35c. Mobilier rose 17fr.

Orleans roes 22fr. 50c. ; Northern, 12fr. 30c. ;

lines Mr.

The Debar dwells on a fresh instance of the dis-
creditable manner in which the intelligence from
India is systematically misrepresented by the tele-
graphic establishment
_which supplies the French
press with its foreign news. In the last despatch
furnished by the latter, the great news of the day—
the captare of Bareilly—wu not even mentioned ;
while Oude and the Rohilcund—which in the Eng-

lisp official despatches are represented as ealmitTir
down under a policy of eonciliation—are described
in the Marseilles despatch u swarming with bands
of partisans.

We (Galignaxi) have heard an interesting anec-
dote connected with the charming ate given last
week at Etiolles by Count Walewski, in honour of
the visit of their Majesties. A fine little boy, son
of the count, attracted great notice, and the Em- i

peror calling the child to him, asked, " What is
your name, my boy P" The child replied, " Charles
Walewski"—" Count d'Etiolles," added the Em-
peror, completing the answer. His Majesty desired
apparently by conferring this title on the eon, to
express how highly he esteemed the services of the
father as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count
Walewski has, it is said, ordered from a first-rate
artist a picture to represent the fete at Etiolles, the
occasion of this high mark of imperial favour.

Lord St. Leona& implied for • warrant for the appre-
hension of Robert Parker, who bad attempted to enter his
lordship's service by means of a false character. Parker bad
called at Lord St. Leonardo' house, in Upper Onsvesor-
sweet, end applied for the situation of upper footman. He
left a written character, signed "Ci. H. Freeman," and re-
ferred his lordship to " G. H. Freeman, Esq., Aylesford,
near Maidstone." On this address being written to, the
following answer was received :
"Aylesford, near Maidstone, June 1, 1858, Kent.

Parker Lad called at the Ayleaford post-othee, and requested
an. letter to Mr. Freemen to be forwarded to his (prisoner's)
Manes in London. At the bottom of the written character
was a large 'sal, with the met, • grillin, holding a palm

MONTENEGRO.

The Agram Gazette says:—" The Montenegrins
retired, between the 14th and 20th ult., to their
mountains, leaving at Grahowo only 80 men to
protect the part of the booty which had not been
sent to Cettingen. Notwithstanding their depar-
ture, the Rajahs of &ibis and Grahowo sent on the
14th an expedition against the village of Korenci,
which was completely ravaged on the 18th and 18th.
All the bodies of the Turks, which were lying about
in great numbers near Grahowo, have been burnt."
A letter from Vienna, in the Swabian Mercury,
says:—" The Turkish ambassador has had several
conferences recently with Count Buol, and it seems
that the Porte and Austria entertain identical
opinions on the Montenegrin question. It is certain
that the Porte still considers the acknowledgment of
her suzerainty as a sine qua eon."

The ceremony for the oommenoement of the Scinde
Railway took place on Thursday evening. Shortly before
Ave o'clock • large party of gentlemen were assembled at the
engineer's office, where the plans, drswinge, &c., were
played for inspection. A little after &re o'clock the whole
=o,o,headed by Mr. Frets, commissioner, moved off in po-
maded by the railway ter, bearing the devise of a
lacemettre. On the ground, • party of her Mulesty's 61st
Milimformed a street to a triumphal arch, which wee
adetrrated with flags, Beware, and leaves. After
plain through the arch, Mr. Frere alighted from hie car-
and, accompanied be the agent to the us& Railway
and the chief resident engineer, preceded by the Rev. Mr.
Can and the Rev. Mr. Coates, and followed by the whole
amentbly, went to the spot where the sod was to be turned,
when a shot* lentos was performed by the chaplains, after
which 111 r. Wanes, the agent, addressed Mr. Frets, and re-
quieted him to commence the Scinde Railway, to which Mr.
Frets replied in an appropriate speech. He then pulled off
his coat, took op the spade, and, working with • right good
win, filled the barrow, wheeled it off to a short distance and
emptied It, when the bend struck up the national anthem,
and the whole crowd jollied In a loud and long continued
cheer; Immediately the guns boomed forth • royal saints,
and the cersesony wee concluded. The scene at &andel
Point was striking. Loading from the triumphal arch was
a lien of flap of various Dolours; opposite to which were to
be seen carriers, equestriems, and pedestrians ; in the centre
of the ground marked out were rows of chairs filled with the
beauty of Handles. The assembled crowd for one good
square mile was • sea of heads, in which could be distin-
guished the soldier, the civilian, the high-turbaned Parsee,
the Hindoo, the Aftghan, the Belooch, the Scindee—in fart,
all castes and clam; vehicles of every description, and
horses, from the high-bred Arab to the humble tar. Every-
thing peened off very quietly, and all parties returned home
highly delighted at the interesting scene they had witnessed

RUSSIA.

A letter from Stockholm of the Bth says :—" Ac-
cording to recent letters from Hammerfest, the last
Norwegian port at the entrance to the White Sea,
several Russian vessels of war have passed on their
way to Archangel, which the Emperor Alexander is
about to visit. It is known that in compliance with
the recommendations of his brother, the Grand Duke

Constantine, the Emperor has resolved to give a
large development to the dockyards of the White
Sea. Last year four vessels were constructed there;
this year six vessels, all screws, are being built
there; and it is hoped that before the closing of the
navigation they can be sent on some distant expedi.
tion. From the new arrangements now being made
at Archangel, not only small vessels, but ships of the
line and frigate., can henceforth be built there."

Friends at their own limit's : or Pietism of ths

Mrs. Ems, author of "the Women of England.'
2 vols. Bentley.
It is painful to Me a falling off in the last effort
of any writer u compared with his former works,
and we an sorry to say that in Turning to " Friends
at their own Fireside" we witness a great deteriora-
tion. Mrs. Ellis's aim is to attempt something like
a picture painted in words which should faithfully
illustrate the social and domestic life of the Society
of Friends. Of early Quakerism—of the fervent
faith and of the many trials of such as Fox and Ell-
wood—we have, in the language of the suffaren them-
selves, the moat graphic account. Modern Qaakeriens,
with Its fat placid outtent, ihs flogl ita IMisk

Ittiniri- but still it can painte—raa ttiyp might
paint a cow, or as Wordsworth might describe a
primrose by the river's brim. Even then justice
would not be done to the philanthropic public life of
the leading Quakers—a life which deeply atones for
a literary barrinness—which would be frightful, if
as Mrs. Ellis says, Friends did not often read in
secret what the great body of the denominations
would not vary cordially approve. To do justice to
the Quaker, we Emit look rather at his public than
his private life, we must witness his protests
against ecclesiastical assumption, against the
frivolous fashions of life, against vice and poverty,
and ignorance, rather than witness him at home
uncommonly common-place and comfortable. Mrs.
Ellis has succeeded to a certain extant; she
shows how correct is Quaker life as a whole—
in spite of the great mischief its Spartan discipline
does to mazy charactersesseatially gentle and
tender. She shows how much goodness and how
math rottenness it conceals. She has great advan-
tages for doing this, for ws believe she received a
Quote& *Ascetic° bat she fails ea a novelist, her
