ELECTION INTELiIIGENCE.
LEONIINSTER.
The following address has been issued to.the inde-
pendent end liberal electors of the borough and parish
of Leominster by Mr. John George Pkaillimore:—" Gen-
tlem..l), I know ❑ot in what words to expres• my grati-
tude for the cirdial and generous manner in which you
have received for the proofs of personal regard and
I might even say of aff-ctionate interest that have been
shewn towards me during my short stay among you, and
for the promises of support which you have given to me
—promises that leave not in my mind the slightest
doubt of success in the approaching struggle) between
he advocate s of scarcity and the champions of cheap
bread in this ancient borough. As an humble labourer
in a glorious cause, in the cause of reason and humsnity,
in the cause of justice and of right, I thank you from
my heart; but what are my thanks to the thanks of the
fa►herless and the widow, to the thar.ks of the millions
toiling at the anvil, at the loom, and in the field, to the
thanks of the wives and children in the dwellings of the
poor throughout the land, resounding with the voice of
joy and health, who are now "satisfied with bread," but
who must exchange their present happy condition for
want end hunger, who must return to privation and to
suffering, and according to the terrible denunciation of
the Prophet, must " eat bread by weight and with care"
if Prote,ction should again prevail. My professional
duties oblige me to leave you for a ,;hort time, but I rely
upon the continued exertions of the friends to whom I
already owe so much. Come early to the poll—be firm
—and success is certain."

GREAT FIRE IN SOHO.
Last night, shortly after tine o'clock, a tire, attended
with a great loss of property, and which at midnight
was far Irene being entirely extinguished, broke out in
the premises of Mr. James, wheelwright, extending
from Crown-street, Soho-square, into Star-court, Comp-
ton-street. Various persons occupied portions of the
buildings. To tell with any d, gree of accuracy inwhose
premises the fire began would, in consequence of the
firm hold it had obtained before its existence was known,
be impossible. Some of the inhabitants of Crown-street
bad, it appears, their attention directed to the premises
by an unu.ual glare of light snining over the housetops,
and, on looking towards the premises, flames were curl-
ing up the front of a considerable portion of the pro.
pt-rty. At that period Mr. and Mrs. James were in their
beds asleep, and a greet number of cows and horses
were in the various buildings adjoining. The first thing
sought to be accomplished was to arouse Mr. James
end his wife, which was a work of great difficulty.
The next wasto remove the cows and horses. After much
trouble eleven of the former were saved, but it is feared
that one has fallen asaeritiee to the Jury of the flames.
Several hor-es.were likewise got out comparatively unin-
jured, but two or three were so frightened on seeing the
tire that some time elapsed before they could be got out.
The Royal Sock) y's tire-escapes promptly attended, and
the conductor of ore was instrumental in rescuing
another horse. The engines of St. Anne's parish, the
London Brigade, and West of England office were re-
markably early in arriving, but the firemen found that
the length of the premises on one side were blueing so
high as to illuminate the entire neighbourhood. A lofty
wooden building ni ar the bou9es in Crown-street had
also become ignited, and the firemen at once saw that
unless they could conquer the flames at that point se-
veral houses in the last-named street must be consumed.
The engines were forth wiih called into operation, and
()wing to the judicious directions given to the firemen
they succeeded in cutting off the further spread of the
destructive element. Toe origin of the fire, or whether
any of the sufferers were insured, could not be gleaned.

PROPOSED NEW STREET.—It is proposed, and a
Bill will shortly be submitted to Parliament, for the:purpose
of forming a new main street from Blackfriars-road to Lon-
don Lei ge, so that the present tortuous and inconvenient
approach may be altogether avoided, and thus effect 'an im-
prevenient that has, for years past, been considered wanting
to connect those two great thoroughfares. The line pro-
posed is a continuation of Stamford-street, so that when
completed there will be a direct aminunication on the Sur-
rey side of the river from London to Westminster Bride.
As a sum of money was some years ago granted by Govern-
tnent for this object, with the interest that has since accrued
upon it a small *BUM only will be required to complete the
Work.
