As loan confidence in the strength of thestructsre was
soar created, in order to preserve the property which It
was hoped might still be recovered, although le a state
of greatly diminished value, the whole of the premises were
enclosed with boa+, and os Tuesday moesieg strong sup-

ed, was fur the greater part safe, and in the course of the day

damage bad been done in the cellar ender Adam-street, which
adjoined the hitches where the Ore was lest discovered.
Here there was s considerable quantity of cluempoigee, red
sad white, which being placed to as upright pasitioa, all
the corks had flows, sad the precious liquor added to the
genre' istiondstioa predueed by the regimes. A great
number of bottles had also burst. The same *biennia

slroyed by the falling of the rein, was preserved. The
cellars in front of the Sneed were perfectly secure, sad
whole Mts may be estimated rat about thirty doges.--.
A good deal of surprise was at list excited by Oil extra,
ordinary evaporation which appeared to have taken place
in an eighteen gallon cask of entrant wine, which bad been
made for nine years, mid which had been only tapped for
the elutione of being tasted a few days hef.re. This, which
was presumed to he quie full, was found Ale have been

in point of Anon. A greet mon sapient rellections
were indulged on the power of beat thus extracting nine gal-
lons of moisture through the cask, Inn a narrower obser.
vstion led to a more natural conelittioa as to the cause of
this miracle. It was the introduction of a spill about half
way down the barrel, at which it appeared the evaporation
had ceased, snot son further it was ascertains! that any
linkage which had taken place had fortunately obtained con-
venient rrecitera in the thro.t of some of the thirsty soots
,whose Minolta the fire had called let. ortolan. All the cracked
tootles of course became fair spoil, sod may had, fur the finis
oppostoinity of delivering their Opinions upon high
folioed tirimpaigne, burnt Marlette, holly coddled poet, and
double singed claret. The Irish labourer., who were iu•
chided m the committee of tasters, declared most consci-
entiously that they would rather have hail one noggin of

At a sobsequ-nt period, upon the devils of /be
Earl of Northumberlind, Sir Philip Wsroick
was appointed a trustee in his room, and then
an instrument was esecoted, upon which the whole
of the present quettiou would turn. It was be-
tween the trustees of the one purl, and Ralph Mon-
tagne of Om other obit ; sled it 'entwined, that in
consideration of 4,6101. paid by Ralph Montague,
the trustees colonled, mud Lady Michael Vaughan
confer-.ed to Ralph MusitLgue, the ;emotive-house
and garden, with the Beids^djoining, to hold
to hint and his heirs, in 'a yearly rent of 51.
In consideration 'of this conveyance. Ralph Mon-
tague covenanted witty. , Lady Rschael Vaughan,
that in care he erected *4 building. lie would erect
• fair and large house fit for a family, and that he
would not snake any, ptiblic way to the Lorthirard,
or erect any buildhsg beyond tee outermost wall of
Southampton House; he also covenanted, that if fie
should erect any buildings on the north end of. the
ground, or should extend them beyond Southeinp-
ton House, with the exception of a small summer-
house, 0 b.tiouettirig-lsouse ia the garden.. he
would forfeit lied pay 3/. a day as long as such
erections should remain, and until the place was
restored to the same cooditton it was in before.
Upon the ea.-cotton of this cisevryance, Ralph
'Montague took posseostou of the /twist'''+ and erect-
ed a building which did. not evens! &pod Sootly-
autptuu House. That house was after wards destroyed
by fire, and enothet elected on its site, which was
confioed within the same limits. The house built the
second time was the house. which is now called the
British Museum. This building was enjoyed.by
the hinny of RAO MOntogue till the year 1753.
when au Act of Pa,lianteut passed in the 9.60 year
Of George 11. the:ohjett of which was the,preserea-
tips; of ti.e curiosities collected by Sir Ilan+ Sloane.
By that Act the Lord Chancellor and certain other
persons were formed into a corporaboo to carry
the ititentioix of the Legialatare into effect; and
it was enacted, that they should have sucsession for
ever, as trustees of th. British Museum. Upon
the passing of this Act, the manslou-house was
cottycyrd to the trustee,, and they had been ie
po on ever since, and had paid the yearly
rent charge of 5/. to the present Duke of Bedford,
sod his stritestors. The Lesroed %otiose! thee
staled, that in the year 1500, the house galled
Southampton or Bedford House was pulled down,
ai d a range of magnificent houses built upon that
and the adjoining ground, • ,d these houses over-
looked the Briinh Museum and gardens. The
trustees of the Brinell Maoism had recently given
notice to the Duke of Bedford, tjiat they intend-
ed to erect various buildings beyond theliee where
Southampton House stood, for the purpose of have
ing them issisibited by the rattle. pf certain ancient
heroes and heroines, gods and goddesSes, tlrte as-
sembled mid congregated by the laborious *rodeo(
Lord Etta and other industrious and perseveriqt
