LCVSDON, THURSDAY. MARCH 4, 1852.

Wit bout participating in the terror which has re-
eel:Al.,/ been prevalent as to the possibility of an inva-
sion, hpr MAJESTY'S Ministers appear to be actuated
by e, desire to improve as much as is
practicable the
opp >vanity afforded by that agitation. That such
is 4th, ;.i. solicitude, is, we conceive, sufficiently mat&
few.; trona the speech delivered the other evening in
the PRIME MitiDiTEl3 when
the 'lons,. of L.)rd4 by

_
to clustruct• his Administration. In addtessieg •

self ta the Legislature. the aol of DERBY Very sig.
prlie as dishonourable
nificantly deprecated any
to the national character and detrimental to the
interests of the community. At the same time, how.
ever, his efforts were obviously from the first directed
to the better organizition of the vari-Ais warlike forces
Of ti . United Kingdom. L is asserted, as we have
prtepouily intimated ourselves, that one of his earliest
appi,cations, after being sent for by the QUEEN, was to
Lord PALMERSTON. Remembering that
the Noble
Viscount had actually, and ~, very recently, turned out
his previous colleagues by an amendment in
faye,tir of a more comprehensive and permanent
sratem of militia, the off.er acquires a peculiar
a•nd noticeable significance. It revealed satis-
fiactorily enough the truth that there is excited
no altogether insurmountable obstacle to the return
of Lord PALMERSTON to the offices of Government.
4lat, beyond that, it betrayed scarcely less clearly and
scarcely less satisfactorily the inclination of the
"nal'lY-appointed First Lord of the Treasury to de-
velope the dormant energies of the country in such a
manner that there should no longer be room for
anxiety as to invasion in the more cautious minds of

A fitter opportunity than
the present could not
present itself for Allusion to •
an ingenious theory,
bretzched by one of those intelligent officers who,
iduriag times of peace, observe with
vigilance and so-

preparations. Al-

THE HAGUE, MARCH 2.—The Government has
presented
a project of law to the Chamber, tending
to augment the budget for 1852 by 160,000 florins,
in order to cover the expense incurred by the esta-
blishment of the telegraphic lines. The following
particulars are stated in the explanatory memoir
which accompanies the project of law :
If no unexpected circumstance should arise to im-
pede the progress of the works, the Government
hopes that before the close of 1852 the telegraph will
be at work on en extent of 287 miles—viz., from the
Belgian frontier to Rotterdam, 82 miles; to Amster-
dap, 101 miles; from Amsterdam to Arnheim, 104
miles—toted 287 miles. The sum required for the
laying down oi the first line is 50 200f1., fur the se-
cond 30,800f1., for the third 24,300f1. Finally, for
the estabiishinent of stations, the erection of maga-
zines, and the indemnity to be paid to private per-
sons, a further sum of 51,600f1. is required.

FUNERAL OF THE POET MOORE.

(Wednesday) consigned, to their last reatiog•place, m a,
vault on the north side t)f the churchyard of Brombam,
a village lying haif a mile to the left of the turnpike-
The remaios of this highly-gjte dman were this
.day
miles from the former piece. The stone covering the
poet's ashes-records the deaths of two of his children :
.‘ Anastasia Mary Moore, born March 16,: 1813,
diedroad leading from
March 8, 1829; Devil=s to Chippenham, and four
also her brother, John Russell Moore,
died Nov. 23, 1842, aged 19 years." When the popu-
larity of. Moore as a writer is considered, it is a matter
of surprise that more persons were not present at the
funeral, but beyond the idlers of the village, who usually
congregate
Ce such occasions, there were but few, and
these for the moat part from the neighbouring towns of
Devizes and Melk.sham. The _hearse, containing the
body, and followed by one mourning coach only, con-
temning R. a Brabant, Esq., M.D., the Rev. H. Drury,
G. C. Kenrick, Esq., and the representative of H. F.
Talbot, Esq., personal friends of thu deceased, arrived
at the church soon after one; the service was performed
by the Rev. E. T. Edgell. The coffin, covered with
black cloth, and bearing the simple inscription, "Thomas
Moore, born May 28, 1779, died February 25, 1852,
aged 72 Sears," was lowered into the vault. The spec-
tators quitted the spot, and the churchyard soon assumed
its usual quiet appearance.

reclamations made by the other powers.
The latter intelligence was communicated to Che-

Lord GRANVILLE, on his side, protested that it was

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.

Yesterday (Monday), at a few minutes past 12 o'clock
at noon, a serious fire broke out on the premises of
Messrs. Ind, Coope, and Co., the proprietors of the '
Rumford brewery stores, situate in Great Garden-street,
near Whitechapel turnpike. gate. The building, which
extended in one direction between GO and 70 feet,
was of proportionate depth, but, although divided into
two warehouses, each communicated with the other
by means of large loop-holes. From the fact of one
warehouse containing a vast number of hogsheads of
sugar, it was at one period feared that every building in
the immediate vicinity wculd have been levelled with
the ground. As it was, in the course of a few minutes
the fitat-named building, in which the disaster com-
menced, presented cue tremendous body of fire, and as
the flames belched forth from the different windows and
through the roof the scene became one of fearful gran-
deur. The mains of the. East London Company having
been drawn, the engines were set to work, but in spite
of the torrents of water thrown from the engines upon
the conflagration, it continued to travel. A number of
policemen of the H division, under the directions of In-
spectors White and Miller and Sergeants Foay and Eves,
went to work and rolled some dozen barrels of ale out
of the premises, at the time that the flames were mount-
ing from the upper floors most terrifically. The firemen,
under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood, redoubled
their exertions, but notwithstanding several hours
passed away ere the firemen could get the mastery over
the flames, and not until the first-named warehouse
from the ground-floor was burned out, and the lower
floor seriously injured. The adjoining warehouse,
in which so many tons of sugar and a large
quantity of grain were, were also seriously burned ;
but, fortunately, the whole of the extensive stock of
sugars, although, at one time, almost at red heat point
were preserved. The total loss, however, is very con-
siderable. The origin of the fire is unknown. For-
tunately, the firm was insured.
About two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire occurred
on the premises belonging to Mr. Thomas Kollar, eat-
ing-house proprietor, No. 4, Sherburne-lane, City. The
discovery wos made by the police who were doing duty
in the neighbourhood, and who, fortunately, succeeded
in arousing the inmates; but on their attempting to
gain the street by the front door, they were unable to
do so, the stairs being rendered impassable by smoke.
The parties therefore made for one of the upper
•win-
dows, and the Royal Society's fire escapes having at-
tended, six persons were rescued in safety. The sufferer,
it is understood,
was insured in the Globe Fire Office.

STRAND THEATRE.

A spirited and amusing dramatic sketch by gr. W
Brough was last night produced at this house, under the
title of Uncle Tom's Crib, or Negro Life in London.
The " crib " of Uncle Tom is the sign of the Negro
Head," a house of call for Ethiopian serenaders, nigger
crossing
sweepers, and the incidents flow out of the
fforts of the landlord to induce Dinah, his " one fair
daughter," to marry Mr. Ccesar Augustus Squashtop,
a crossing sweeper, who professes to have
and 50/
a first situation, but has also lately
added to his avocations that of a lecturer at Exeter-
hail upon the rights of man and the wrong! of
Africa. Dinah has, however, fixed her affections
upon Dandy Jura,an Ethiopian serenader, and the
denouement discloses the fact that the 501. has been
stolen from him by Augustus, that bis 'fine house, filled
with furniture," was a two shilling-a-week lodging, out
of which he had been turned for non-payment of rent,
while his crossing has been taken possession of by an-
other sweeper since he became a lecturer.
The prudent
and affectionate Uncle Tom therefore hands over Dinah
to her previously rejected, but now wealthy suiter, and
the piece winds up with a nigger ball,
illuminated after
the style of the grand opera with coloured lights. The
dialogue is sparkling, the " situations" full of broad
humour, and the sarcasms upon specious sentimenta-
hems and shams smart and telling. It brings out the
capabilities of the African opera troupe now performing
at the Strand capitally, and with a little judicious
shortening, will secure a good run. Its reception
throughout, and at the close last night was a decided
success. Mr. Price, an American dancer, also made his
first appearance. His style is similar to that of the
celebrated Juba, and in some of his dances he even ex-
ceeds that well-known and extraordinary delineator of
" plantation danets." The house was crowded.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The
editors of the herald°, the Constitucional, the Espe-
ranza, the Epoca, and the Diario had been set at
liberty, but cannot sign their respective journals until
the tribunals shall have decided on the prosecution
commenced against them by the Director of the Trea-
sury for calumnining him. In the meantime these
papers will have to abstain from political discussion.
The editor of the Heraldo, who had been in confine-
ment thirty-two days, had been obliged to deposit
6,000 reals as an addition to his previously existing
caution money of 120,000 reals. The Constitucional
announces that it will cease to appear.
The Queen had given 20,000 reals to the poor of
the province of Madrid. The post of Commander of
the Halberdiers vacant by the di-ath of the Duke de
Biylen, had not been filled up. The surreys for the
first section of a railway to the north have been ter-
minated.

The Gazelle publishes a detailed account of the
expenses of the different ministries in the second
quarter of 1852; they amount to 313,068,157 reels;
the budget had calculated them at 328,712,541
reels.
The Queen, the King, and the Queen Christina
had held grand receptions for kissing hands in honour
of the Queen's birthday. The Duke and Duchess de
Montnensier had returned to Seville. Count d'Es-
terhszy, the Austrian Minister, had returned to
Madrid after a leave of absence.
It is stated by the Epora that the Cortes are to
meet on the 25th November. The day, however,
says a letter, is not yet officially fixed, but it is ex-
pected that it will be before the end of November.
The mails between Madrid and Paris now occupy
seven hours less time in the journey, owing to the
opening of the section of the railway from Angou
leme to Bordeaux.

Accounts had been received from the Captain-
General of Cuba to the 14th September. They state
that tranquillity continued to prevail; that the cases
of cholera had slightly increased, owing to the heavy
rains ; and that a prosecution had been commenced
against the writers and publishers of the subversive
journal La Voz del Pueblo. A dispatch from the
Commander of the naval station of the Havannah
announces the wreck of the war steamer the Pizzaro,
at a place called Tango-Farango, on the northern coast,
whilst going to look after a frigate whose manoeuvres
seemed suspicious.
A letter from Madrid of the 11th states that the
rumour of its being the intention of the Spanish
Government to suspend all the railway concessions
is well founded. The only exception, it is said, is in
favour of the lines from Madrid to Almansa, and
from Aiar to S.intander. The motive for the delay
in making other roads is said to be the fear of the
Government that it would be unable to pay the gua-
ranteed interest on the capital, if several lines were
to be executed at the same time. . _

HOUSES OF CONVOCATION,

(From the Herald.)
Our readers will easily understand that it is in
accordance both with our principles and our interests
that the press of this country. should be as free as
possible. We, therefore, see with a degree of plea-
sure the remarks which our contemporaries bestow
upon our opinions and our political friends, however
opposed these remarks may be to our own views and
opinions. Let them censure the Government and
their measures ; we consider it beneficial for these
and for the country; but when. freedom is abused, as
it has been lately by the Times, by a deliberate
statement of positive fictions, we are hound to confess,
that, however talented the writers in that journal may
be, they bring, by such statements, a heavy burden of
obloquy upon their professicn.
Two months ago the Times did not scruple to
spread alarm among our North American colonies,
by authoritatively declaring that the Government
had yielded all the privileges of oar fisheries to the
United States. The effects of this untruth the
Times cared little fur if the Government only in-
curred a temporary and unmerited odium. The
Legislative bodies met, and by the spirit they
showed have only proved that the Government at
home had fully appreciated their feelings when they
resisted, and successfully resisted. the American
encroachments, refusing to yield ani right excepting
for an equivalent from America.
Yesterday the Times out-Herodi itself, and the
statement to which its leader is attached is even more
preposterously untrue than the former one to which
we have alluded. Lord Derby's Government is "to
advise her Majesty to allow the House of Convocation
to sit for the dispatch of business, &c.":—
" A report has reached us, which is not, we believe,
Iwithout foundation, that Lord Derby and his colleagues
have resolved to advise her Majesty to permit the House
of Convocation to sit for the dispa'ch of business, and
that the Royal licence will consequently be issued, em-
powering those ecclesiastical assemblies to enter upon
London, England, 1852-10-19

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.

Yesterday (Monday), at a few minutes past 12 o'clock
at noon, a serious fire broke out on the premises of
Messrs. Ind, Coope, and Co., the proprietors of the
Rumford brewery stores, situate in Great Garden-street,
near Whitechapel turnpike. gate-
The building, which
extended in one direction between 60 and 70 feet,
was of proportionate depth, but, although divided into
two warehouses, each communicated with the other
by means of large loop-holes. From the fact of one
warehouse containing a vast number of hogsheads of
sugar, it was at one period feared that every building in
the immediate vicinity would have been levelled with
the ground. As it was, in the course of a few minutes
the first-named building, in which the disaster com-
menced, presented one tremendous body of fire, and as
the flames belched forth from the different windows and
through the roof the scene became one of fearful gran-
deur. The mains of the East London Company having
been drawn, the engines were set to work, but in spite
of the torrents of water thrown from the engines upon
the conflagration, it continued to travel. A. number of
policemen of the H division, under the directions of In-
spectors White and Miller and Sergeants Foay and Eyes,
went to work and rolled some dozen barrels of ale out
of the premises, at the time that the flames were mount-
ing from the upper floors most terrifically. The firemen,
under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood, redoubled
their exertions, but notwithstanding several hours
passed away ere the firemen could get the mastery over
the flames, and not until the first-named warehouse
from the ground-floor was burned out, and the lower
.floor seriously injured. The adjoining warehouse,
in which so many tons of sugar and a large
quantity of grain were, were also seriously burned ;
but, fortunately, the whole of the extensive stock of
sugars, although, at one time, almost at red. heat point
were preserved. The total loss, however, is very con-
siderable. The origin of the fire is unknown. For-
tunately, the firm was insured.
About two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire occurred
on the premises belonging to Mr. Thomas Kellar, eat-
ing-house proprietor, No. 4, Sherburne-lane, City. The
discovery was made by the police who were doing duty
in the neighbourhood, and who, fortunately, succeeded
in arousing the inmates; but on their attempting to
gain the street by the front door, they were unable to
do so, the stairs being rendered impassable by smoke.
The parties therefore made for one of the upper win-
dows, and the Royal Society's fi. re. escapes having at-
tended, six persons were rescued in safety. The sufferer,
it is understood, was insured in the Globe Fire Office.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE AT MANCHESTER.—The
subscriptions to the fund for the purpose of erecting a public
memorial in Manchester of the late Duke of Wellington are
still rapidly auguaenting. The total to Saturday Was
