GERMANY.

The Nationel Gazette of Berlin, under date of
Vienna 23c1, says :—" It is positively said that the
Count de Rechberg has been authorised to act ac-
cording to his own judgment in the affair of the
sequestration of the property of the Lombardian
emigrants. He may consequently take off the
sequestration and grant an amnesty to any refugee
who shall be able to prove that he has never taken
part in any propagandist conspiracy against
Austria."

A letter from Hamburg of the 24th in the
Cologne Gazette says :—" The wool fair finished
yesterday, and business was in general very satis-
factory. Upwards of 300,0001b5. were disposed
of, Mecklenburg having furnished the greatest
quantity."

- A late ordonnance of the Saxon Government has
established bonding-warehouses at Leipsic on the
model of those existing at London. The dock-
warrant will enable the owners or consignees to
obtain advances on the goods, and for any delay
wider ten days no charge will be made beyond the
mere duty levied to pay for the watchmen.
The United Diet of Denmark definitively adopted
on the 24th ult., by 119 votes to 10 the project of
the Government relative to the order of succession
to the throne.

FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday morning, between
the hours of four and five o'clock a fire broke out in
the premises belonging to Mr. William Tidder, oilman
and Italian warehouseman, situate at No. 21, Little
Alie-street, Goodman's-fields. Mr. Tidder, the pro-
prietor of the establishment, his family, and some others,
to the number of eleven, were sleeping in the lower part
of the premises, and by a desperate effort they succeeded
in forcing their way through the fire, and happily they
reached the street without any personal injury. The
draught, however, caused by opening the door, made
the flames extend with great rapidity, so much so that
a family of five, named Hughes, who lived on the second
floor, upon attempting to descend the sta'rs were pre-
vented by the smoke and heat, but fortunately they had
the presence of mind to retrace their steps to the room
they had just left ; but by that period the flames had
broken through the shutters, and there seemed no chance
of saving either Mr. Hughes or any member of his
family. The poor creatures, expecting momentarily to
be burnt to death, fell upon their knees in front of the
windows and commenced praying, which painfully
cited the bystanders. At this conjuncture the Royal
Society's fire-escape came in sight, when the populace
gave several hearty cheers. Wood, the conductor of
the escape, at once raised the machine in front of the
house, and, having ascended, he succeeded in carrying
down the escape the whole of the five remaining inmates.
The whole of the stock in trade, consisting of oils, tur-
pentine, paint, &c., was destroyed. The origin f the
disaster could not be ascertained. Fortunately, Mr.
Tidder was insured for the contents in the Phenix
office, and the building was insured in the Sun office ;
but Mr. Hughes, it is understood, was not insured.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.-At
the last weekly council of the society reports were re-
ceived by the council to the following effect :—That the
lists of judges for live stock and implements at the Glou-
cester meeting had been satisfactorily completed ; that
all the railway companies to which the council had
made application in favour of the society's exhibitors, at
its ensuing country meeting, had granted the usual
liberal concessions of a free transit of live stock, and a
reduction of half charges on implements to and from all
parts of England and Wales to Gloucester ; that the
show of live stock at the Gloucester meeting would be
unusually large and interesting ; that the space required
for the exhibition of agricultural implements and ma-
chinery (as already reported) amounts to an area 6 2-3 d
yards in width and one mile in length ; that Professor
Way's statement on town sewage and its agricultural
applications would be delivered before the members at
the weekly council to be held on Wednesday (this day),
at twelve o'clock.

EXTENSION OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES. —A bill has been
prepared, and brought in for consideration by the House
of Commons by Mr. Fortescue, Mr. Ewart, and Mr.
Fagan, to extend the provisions of the Public Libraries
Act to Iteland. By the Public Libraries Act, 1850,
town councils of municipal boroughs in England the
population of which exceeds 10,000 persons are enabled
to adopt measures for establishing public libraries and
museums ; and it is proposed by the bill referred to
above to extend'all the provisions of the Public Libraries
Act, with some comparatively trivial exceptions, relating
for the most part to the regulations for the voting of
burgasee. •
