TO WN- HALL.

Byers, the informer, happened to be in the Justice Room
for the purpose Allying some informations against coach
proprietors.
Sir P. LAURIE—I have heard a good, deal about Byers,
but never saw him. Is he here ? Byers—Yes, Sir, lam
here.

Sir P. LAURIE—I have read much about you in the
newspapers, but never saw you before. Sir Peter inquired
of him why he did not direct his attention to laying informa-
tions against the owners of dog-carts ? Byers said there
was no law upon the subject under. which inform.ation could
be given against the owners of dog-carts, unless it was for
cruelty, under Mr. Martin's Act.

Sir PETER LAURIE expressed his opinion that informers
were as necessary as Acts of Parliament ; and be would
always cn.:ourage them when their informations were sup•
ported by credible testimony, and those making them did
not enter into any compromise. He stated that he hoped
some enactment would be made upon the subject next ses-
sion of Parliament.

Byers said if such was the case be would watch them
carefully.

AL ARMING FIRES.

Considerable excitement prevailed last night, about half-
past ten o'clock, in consequence of a fire breaking out in
the premises belonging to Mr. J. Irish, grocer, No. 11,
Cherry Garden-street, Bermondsey, which for some time
threatened the most alarming consequences. Fortunately
at the time there was a plentiful supply of water, and by
the assistance of the police, the firemen succeeded in confin-
ing the flames to the back part of the premises.
On Saturday morning, shortly after four o'clock, the
greatest alarm prevailed for the lives of the family of Mr.
Stoles, architect and surveyor, of No. 11, Argyll-street
Regent-street, by a fire breaking out in one of the bed-
rooms on the second floor. The fire made a frightful pro-
gress for a short time, but information having been given to
the County and London Establishment engine stations, the
firemen hastily repaired to Mr. Scole's assistance, and in
less than an hour the fire was extinguished: The damageoccasioned by the catastrophe
very great, and, unfort7i-
nately, the prOperty was not insured. How it originated is
not known.
Late on Friday evening the family of Mr. Stevens,
plumber and glazier, Kennington-lair, was thrown" into
great alarm by the discovery of afire in the back room on
the first floor, and such was the impetuous fury of the de-
structive element before the arrival of the engines, that the
whole of the furniture was consumed. However, through
the assistance affoided by the neighbours and police, the
damage was confined to the room where the fire broke out.
Mr. Stevens is insured in the Imperial Fire Office,

CAMBRIDGE CORPORATION

DINNER.

(Concluded from The Sun of Saturday.)
The health of the Mayor having been drank with the
utmost cordiality,
The Wonsmrrur. GENTLEMAN cordially thanked them
for the honour they bad done him, and in conclusion begged
to propose, " The Vice-Chancellor of the University of
Cambridge."

Dr. LAMB (the Master of Christ College), who enjoys the
proud distinction of being the only Liberal Master in the
University, on rising to return i:hanks, was received with the
utmost enthugiasm. In the name of the Vice-Chancellor and
Masters of the University, he begged to return thanks for
the toast just drank. The Memb.; rs of the University could
not be indifferent spectators of the events which had lately
taken place in the borough ; for town and gown were
so closely united in interest, that nothing of good or
evil could befal the one without having a material influ-
ence oa the other. The connection between them, like
that between man and wife, was inseparable. Live toge-
ther they must ; if affectionately and in harmony the
result would be mutual welfare and happiness ; if they
gave way to bickerings and peevishness they might
greatly annoy and injure each other, without plea-
sure or benefit to either.—(Cheers.) The University pos-
sessed many powers and privileges—many of which were
still necessary to its efficient maintenance, and to the
advantage, also, of the town ; but there were many
others which, granted at a time when society was very
differently constituted than at present, had now by the
lapse of ages become •obsolete and unnecessary.—(Loud
cheers.) In the rude ages of our forefathers it was neces-
sary to fence and protect this scat of learning from the as-
saults of an ignorant and too often furious populace. In
the reign of Edward 111. the Mayor of this town, at the
head of the burgesses, absolutely stormed the college to
which he (Dr. Lamb) had the honour to belong, and
against which they had a particular pique ; they broke open
the gates, assaulted the Master and Fellows, and destroyed
property to a great amount, and" No one knows," says
the historian," to what lengths this mad rabble might have
gone, had not Henry Spencer, the warlike Bishop of Nor-
wich, casually arrived with some of his forces and checked
them." It was upon this occasion that the town forfeited
nearly all their privileges, and the King conferred many of
them upon the University. With the change of circum-
stances, he would repeat, many of the University's rights
and privileges had become obsolete, and might advantage-
ously for both town and gown be given up.
The Rev. G. A. BROWNE said, there was no member of
any county or borough in the empire who could select for
himself a better pattern for his guide than the conduct of
Lord Francis Osborne during the whole of his Parliamen-
tary career.—(Cheers.) He truly regretted the melan-
choly occurrence which had deprived them of the presence
of that noble individual upon the present festive occasion.
He begged most heartily to propose his Lordship's health.
Drank with much applause.
The next toast was, " The Representatives for the bo-
rough, the-Right Hon. Spring Rice, Chancellor the Exche-
quer, and Mr. Pryme."—Drank with three times three.
Mr. RICE would not detain them further than to again
express his most sincere thanks for the honour which had
been done himself and. his colleague—a colleague whom it
was his pride and pleasure to act with.—(Cheers.)
Mr. PRYMR begged to propose" The healths of the new
Town Council of Cambridge,"—men well worthy of the
confidence which a long knowledge of their characters had
justified their fellow-townsmen in extending to them.
Mr. HUMFREY briefly returned' thanks.

The MAYOR. then proposed " The health of the tried
and excellent representative for the county, Mr. Townley."
That Gentleman returned thanks in a short address.
The MAYOR again rose for the purpose of proposing a
health, which he was confident would be cordially received,
that of their distinguished guest, " Mr. Alston, M.P. for
Hertfordshire, and the Reformers of that county in ge-
neral."—(Cheers.)
Mr. ALSTON, on rising to return thanks, was received
with the warmest cordiality. He could safely say, that he
had been a Reformer, that was to say, one who zealously
and constantly advocated those principles which led to the
establishment of the rights and privileges of the people—
from his earliest years : and it was his pride to_assert, that
ever since he had been chosen by the independent suffrages
of the electors of Hertfordshire, as their represent&ive,he
had striven to do his duty towards them and towards his
country. He would venture to assert that no Government
ever existed, who, to the fullest possible extent, had re-
deemed everything which they had led the country to ex-
pect at their hands.—(Cheers.) Whatever they had pro-
mised to undertake they had undertaken, and had carried
out to the utmost of their power.---(Cheers.) It was most
gratifying to him thus to assist at one of the fruits of that
great Municipal Reform Bill to which he had throughout
lent his warmest support. The result of that measure, as
exhibited in the glorious event which the meeting was now
celebrating, fully justified him in the course which he had
adopted, and he sincerely rejoiced that he had so acted.
The MAYOR then proposed the health of the Hon. Mr.
Keppell, the worthy son of a worthy sire.—(Drank with
cheers.)
Mr. SPRING RICE then said, that as he had been called
upon by the Worshipful Chairman for the next toast, he
would show himself to be a dutiful citizen by prompt obe-
dience.—(Laughter.) They would readily anticipate his
toast—it was one which came home to the hearts of every
one in that room—" The Ladies"—(Cheers)—for though
they mingled not in the more fierce strife of politics, let it
not be thought that either the mothers, wives, or daughters
of Englishmen were indifferent to the public character of
their relatives, for they esteemed public worth as an evi-
dence of private virtue, and being a good citizen was the
best recommendation to the women of England. The Hon.
Member concluded by proposing " The Ladies," amidst
much' applause.-
Mr. ALSTON proposed the healths of three old and tried
Reformers, " Messrs. King, Fordham, and Gunning."—
(Enthusiastic cheers.)
Mr. GUNNING returned thanks.
Dr. LAMB then proposed " Civil and Religious Liberty
all over the World."

Mr. WEDD, in speaking to the toast, dilated on the in-
calculable advantages which the whole country had derived
from the Bill under which they were assembled ; without
municipal reform, civil and religious liberty would never
have been effectually carried out. Previous to the Bill, the
whole power in Cambridge—a town containing 29,000 in-
habitants—was usurped by a few self-elected, irresponsible
individuals ; while others in the town, of pretty equal pro-
perty and greater intelligence, were denied all share in the
administration of its affairs. How glorious was the contrast
which now offered itself, in the existence of a corporation
consisting of men chosen by their fellow-townsmen for their
integrity and ability, and responsible for the proper adminis-
tration of their duties.—(Cheers.) Cambridge indeed might
be looked upon as peculiarly fortunate, not only in its re-
presentatives in the corporation, but in its representatives
in Parliament.—(Cheers.)
Professor MUSGRAVE proposed the next toast, " The
Independent Burgesses of CaMbridge."---(Long.continued
applause.)
Mr. EBENEZER FOSTER, in the name of that body, ex-
pressed his warmest thanks for the honour thus done them.
For years and years himself and the other Reformers of
Cambridge had been struggling to infuse some portion of
good sound principles into the proceedings of the late Cor-
porate body, but had totally failed in the endeavour. These
services were appreciated by the independent burgesses of
the town, who returned the whole of the present Town
Council by votes unbought and unbiassed.—(Cheers.) To
the astonishment of the wlible Tory party, be might say,
throughout England, the Reformers of Cambridge bad suc-
ceeded, in spite of the most energetic exertions on the other
side, in returning the whole of the thirty Town Councillors
out of their own party.
The next toast, proposed by Mr. SKRINE, was, " The
Gentlemen of the Legal Profession who have given their
gratuitous services to the Reform cause, both in town and
country.
Mr. F. GUNNING returned thanks.
Mr. IL GUNNING proposed " The District Associa-
tions," which having been warmly received, the meeting
separated.

SATURDAY.—BURGESS DINNER.
A second dinner was this day given in the Town Hall,
by the Burgesses of Cambridge, in celebration of the same
glorious event which had called together the guests of the
preceding day. The venerable and estimable Mayor pre-
sided, supported on his right by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and on his left by Mr. Pryme. Among the
other gentlemen present we noticed Professor Henslow,
Mr. Burcham, Mr. Foster, sen., Mr. Foster, jun., &c. The
number of guests was considerably above 250.
The cloth being removed, the usual toasts were drank in
the customary form—that of " The Queen" was met with
partial disapprobation.
The MAYOR, in a brief address, proposed " The health
of their two excellent Representatives in Parliament."
Mr. S. RICE said they had now assembled together to
celebrate the success of those principles which the Liberal
party throughout this empire had long advocated. It was
a proud reflection that, whatever the difficulties and ob-
stacles which had stood between them and the possession of
those just rights which the Constitution under which they
lived, when rightly interpreted, entitled them to, the force
of that public opinion which predominates over all things in
this country, had accomplished for them by legitimate
means.—(Hear.) Let them not heed those, who reviled
them, who .asserted that the measures which they had
adopted of late years, were foreign to the Constitution of
England, and tended to indispose the minds of its sons to
love and reverence that Constitution. If that Constitu-
tion had opposed itself to the rightly understood rights,

privileges, and happiness of the people ; then, indeed, there
might have existed an indisposition to the Constitution
which might lead to the results spoken of. But the people
of England had fought and conquered by the power of the
Constitution : the weapons employed were those which the
Constitution furnisbed.—(Cheers.) There was not a man
amongst them—not a single burgess, who had acquired his
right—not a single 10/. householder who had acquired his
franchise, who did not love and reverence the Constitution
which gave him those all-important privileges.—(Cheers.) It
was not the Constitution of England which kept the peo-
pla of Cambridge under the domination of a self-elected
corporation, but a misapplication of that Constitution ; and
when they, the old Reformers ofthe land—who succeeded
to the great name of their political leader—to the name of
Mr. Fox—(Cheers)—and who, under baimera bearing that
illustrious name, fought the battles of the people of Eng
land, they did not go in quest of unmeaning novelties—they
did not seek to overthrow the Constitution of England ;
but, in the name of that Constitution, they struggled to
wrest from the hands of the spoiler those rights and ad-
vantages which he had usurped, and to give them back to
the people, who ought never for an instant to have been
deprived of them.—(Cheers.) The word had gone forth—
the Legislature had pronounced to the people, " You are
free : the united voice of the King, the Lords, and the
Commons of England has relieved you from your thral-
dom ! "—(Cheers.) The Refornier3 of Great Britain were
neither JacObini, nor Destructives, nor Republicans : no,
all they wanted was to tread in the path which their
ancesters trod before them : all they claimed were those
liberties which their ancestors had never shrunk from as-
serting.—(Cheers.) They were resolved to have those
rights ; they were resolved to deserve them ; for the
great point, after all, was not the mere 'possession of power,
but the uses_to which it can be turned.—(Cheers.) The
character of the recent elections under the new Municipal
Bill in Cambridge, and very many other places was such
as did double honour to the triumph which had been ob-
tained.—(Cheers.) The principle of improvement was very
foreign to and very different from that of revolution. When
there were in the community classes of men like those whom
he had the honour of addressing, men who had proved
themselves deserving of the possession of power, danger to
the constitution consisted, not in their admission to poli-
tical power, but in their exclusion from it.—(Loud cheers.)
They had recently had the privilege of using a great poli-
tical power, and from all he could learn of the elections, the
whole empire might most advantageously take the bur-
geSses of Cambridge as a bright example of good sense,
sound judgment, and disinterested patriotism.—(Cheers.)
Whatever injuries and insults they might have experienced
from their predecessors in office, the best and most dignified
course they could adopt would be to make no reprisals,
to ratify none of the animosities of the past, but let them
act so as not only to shew their superior claims to public
integrity and utility over their late opponents, but also give
them an example of private benevolence and forbearance.s--:-
(Cheers.) Let them, in reference to their predecessors,
seperate the man from the system—(Hear, hear)—and
let them charitably suggest to their own minds, that per-
haps had they, under the same circumstances, been ex-
posed to the same temptation, their virtue might, in the
frailty of human nature, have sunk under it. Their indig-
nation was justly entertained, but it was more against the
system than against individuals. The system happily was
overthrown, and for ever. : let then the individuals be once
more looked upon in the light simply of fellow townsmen,
whose interests are to be guarded with the same care and
jealousy as those of any other individuals. The Right
Hon. Gentleman proceeded to express his high gratification
at the continued confidence which his enlightened and in-
dependent constituency honoured him with. Another
great advantage which he enjoyed in his Parliamentary
capacity was in having for a colleague his old and valued
friend, Professor Pryme—(Cheers) in whom it was his
pride ever to find a warm and most disinterested supporter.
The borough of Cambridge in its representatives had at
least this advantage, that the one was never found neutra-
lizing the votes of the other, as was in but too many places
the case ; one saying aye, and the other no, or, as it were,
walking in and out like the figures in a Dutch weather-
house, where both are never seen together.—(Laughter.)
Four eventful elections had given him an opportunity of
becoming personally acquainted with almost every indi-
vidual in the borough, and it was his gratification to have
reason to believe that in every one of the electors who
voted for him he had a personal friend.—(Cheers.) He
once more returned the assembly his sincere thanks.—
(Loud cheers.)
Mr. PirratE congratulated the meeting upon their return
to the old principles of the Constitution, by which house-
holders, the rated inhabitants, had become the electors of a
responsible Corporation. This change was besides very
valuable, as it gave men a notion of affairs beyond merely
local ones; and it was by the diffusion of this species of po-
litical knowledge, and the understanding its due application,
that the full reform of every abuse mainly depended.
Mr. SPRING Rice proposed the health of the veteran
Reformer, the Mayor.—(Drunk with loud cheers.)
The MAYOR returned thanks, and concluded by proposing
" The Town Council."
Mr. E. FOSTER returned thanks.
Mr. BURCHAM proposed " The health of his Majesty's
Ministers," which was drank with enthusiastic cheers.
Mr. SPRING RICE, in the name of his colleagues and of
himself, returned their most heartfelt thanks for the distin-
guished honour thus done them. Their sole desire was
faithfully to serve the Crown. In countries differing from
ours these words often implied, awfully implied, a separation
of duty between the adviser of the Sovereign and the friend
of the people. But in a country like ours no such opposi-
tion of interests was to be feared.—(Cheers.) The people
loved their King, :and he was tititled to say, because he
knew it, that the King loved his people.—(Cheers.) In
the solution of this question, therefore, there was no dis-
turbing- force. A British Minister was a safe Minister to
his Sovereign by being in the confidence of the people ; and
the representative of the people was no less truly so from
being in the confidence of the Crown.—(Cheers.) The po-
litical party to whom they were opposed had generally en-
deavoured to make some separation of interest in these ob-
jects, and had assumed that he who served the Crown was
not likely to be acceptable to the people, and this in fact
was one of the arguments against the Reform Bill. Close
boroughs, said they, are the only feasible things ; but he
(Mr. Rice) was proud and grateful that the electors of
Cambridge had in his person shown that a Minister of the
Crown need not sneak into office through the miserable and
dirty opening of a close borough.—(Cheers.) N.-o, not even
inauspicious
shape he presented himself to them in the
shape of a taxing animal—(Laughter)— he had ever found
himself most cordially welcomed ; nor though it was his
paid duty to tax many of the good things of which they
had partaken, was he made a less welcome guest among
them.—(Cheers.) To promote the good of the people, and
faithfully to serve the Sovereign, were the present Ministry's
only object in taking office ; and they were ready to res 4.
their offices whenever that object could no longer be satin
tisfied ; and they should descend as they had risen, with tll
full hope and expectation in whatever‘ position they were
placed, whether on one side of the House or the other, thae
still, if they had acted rightly, the favour of the people ot
England would go with them. Without further detainin„
them, he would propose " The health of their talented an7-\`.
amiable guest, Professor Henslow." Drunk with enthusiasm
The excellent Gentleman in question returned thanks in.
a very brief but nervous speech. He warned the burgesses
to be ever on their guard against the insidious attempts of
their political opponents, who were ever on the watch to
avail themselves of opportunities for mischief.
Several other toasts were given and acknowledged by
the Messrs. Gunning, Foster, jun., and Peters. The co n-
viviality of the meeting was kept up to a lato hour.

From Bombay we learn that the fears of the failure of
rice and other crops had been relieved by the falls of rain.
TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION—SEVERAL PERSONS
KILLED AND WOUNDED.—Between the hours of eleven
and twelve o'clock on Thursday night, the neighbourhood of
Islington and Ball's Pond was thrown into a state of the ut-
most consternation and alarm by a loud reporkwhich shook
the houses to their very foundations, and roused the inha-
bitants from their sleep, numbers of whom instantly rushed
into the streets, believing it to have been the shock of an
earthquake. In a short time, however, it was discovered
that the report had been caused by the explosion of the
boiler of a steam-engine, recently erected in the new cattle
market in the Lower-road (belonging to Mr. Perkins, of
Bletchingly, Surrey), for the purpose of cutting the iron
rods used in the erection of sheep pens. On entering the
grounds a melancholy spectacle presented itself ; the engine
and the building in which it was erected having been blown
to atoms, and the fragments scattered all over the market.
On the right of the spot where the boiler had stood, the
body of ono of the men employed in cutting the iron, named
Robert Spinden, was found, frightfully disfigured, and, not
far from it, the body of another man, named George Smith,
was also found, both of them quite dead. On a further
search, Thomas Gellish, the foreman of the works, was dis-
covered, about fifty yards distant, in a contrary direction,
lying on his back in a state of insensibility, and near him
two more of the men lying on their faces, the whole of
whom had received most severe injuries. Gellish, cn his
recovering his senses, stated that he was standing near. the
boiler when the explosion took place, by the force of which
he was blown the above distance. Conveyann4 were im-
mediately procured, and the three unfortunate sufferers,
who were still alive,
convoyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where, on examination, it was discovered that Gellish's
collar-bone was most dreadfully broken, and that the wbnla
of them were so severely scalded over all their hiAies that
little hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. A
strong party of the N division of police were in prompt
attendance, and rendered very efficient assistance in keeping
back the crowd, •

EXTENSIVE ILLICIT DISTILLEERY.—We un-

isted in the neighbourhood of Osmotherley for a length of
time, the effects of which has been very apparent on tho
morals of the inhabitants ; much credit is therefore due,
both in a political and moral point of view, to those who

general nuisance.—York Courant.
LOCAL TAXATION.—On Tuesday a highly re-
