business has been done, both for home trade and for ex-
portation; stack is comparatively small. Sales of Manilla
Leaf:have been confined to selections by the trade for
immediate consumption. _ In Cuba there has been a
steady demand for -good quality both for home trade
•and exportation, at previous prices. Yarn has con-
tiaued in request. In Columbian there had been
less animation, the trade being indisposed to
purchase except for immediate wants, hut holders have
stiown no disposition to press sales, and previous rates
have been maintained. The introduction of German to
a considerable .ext`erit has materially interfered with tle
consmuptionof Columbian and is likely to do so as long
as the great.difference in prices exist. Brazil has been
at fuller prices, and also German. The accounts of the

BO W-STREET.--( THIS DA Y.)

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THISDAY),
Albert Williams, a wt li-known associate of thkves, way
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
stolen four live f0w1,,, the property of Mr. Gc.erge Blake,
:sire worker, No. 88, John-street, Tottenham-
court-road.

The prosecutor stated that on Wednesday morning
last, on opening his shop, he found that the lower part
of the shop front had been broken open, and four live
fowls stolen from a case inside. From information he
subsequently received, he went yesterday to Mr. Green's,
is Pancas• street, and found the three fowls in his pos-
session. In anawer to his inquiries, Mr. Green informed
him that he bought them of the prisoner for 2.i. 3.1. The
fowls produced were the same as those stolen from
his shop.
Mr. William Green, cowkeeper, 4, Pancras•street,
Tottenham-court-road, said he knew the prisoner by
sight. On Wednesday morning last the prisoner came
into the shop and asked him to buy a Jowl. Witness
asked him what he wanted for it ? The prisoner re-
plied ho would sell it for one shilling, but, as he had
two more at home, he would sell the lot cheaper if wit-
ness would purchase them. Knowing the prisoner's
family bred fowls he consented to purchase them, and
gave the prisoner 2s. 3d. for the three.

Sergeant Fryer, 15 E, said he took the prisoner into
custody about six o'clock this morning. Un being told
the nature of the charge against him, the prisoner said
he purchased them of a boy in Tottenham-court-road.
lie then took him to the station.

Constable E 44, having proved seeing the prisoner
close by prosecutor's house on the morning of the rob-
bery, he (the prisoner) was committed for trial.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

One of the most destructive conflagrations that has
occurred in Edinburgh for a considerable period took
place early on Wednesday morning, at the station of
the Caledonian Railway, in Lothian road. The sta-
tion consists of a range of three buildings, the one to
the north being the temporary passenger shed, and
the one to the south being the passenger shed of the
new station, which has been for some time in the
course of construction. The fire originated in one of
the trucks attached to the goods train from Carlisle,
which reached the Edinburgh station shortly after
two o'clock in the morning. The work of destruction
was so rapid that it could not, we believe, be properly
ascertained whether the ignition of the truck arose
from friction or from a spark from the engine ; but it
it is conjectured that the latter was the more probable
cause. The goods in the truck were of a light des-
cription and easily consumed, and as the truck was
situated in the midst. of others similarly loaded, the
fire extended with such alarming rapidity that it
speedily communicated to the goods shed. As this
erection was composed almost entirely of wood, and
as it was filled with a large quantity of goods of an
inflammable nature, it was soon in a complete blaze,
lighting the horizon for miles around.
Information having been sent to the head police-
office immediately after the fire was discovered, Mr.
Wood, superintendent of the fire brigade, accompanied
by a large number of the men under. his charge, was
present in a short time, with four engines, all of
which were set to work without a moment's delay.
rhi, fire, however, had got such a control over the
goods' shed that the efforts of the, fire hriade were,
for a .considerable period, of very little avail .; and,
eventually, the flames caine in contact with the pas-
sCriger thed to'the-nortlfward,-between which and the
g,-ois Shed there- was only a 'slight partition. The
tire next extended to.the .pas:senger shed to the south-
'Wartl;and 'Me air-ente-ring' heioW", the-Sheds 'acted just
like"so many pairS failnint.i: Vie 'flames
that the station appeared as if one entife sheet of fire.
Flh burtfitig beliV-een six
and.seVen butt net -until' almost-the whole of
the goods shed was destroyed, a great portion of the
southern passenger oneand about 100 feet of the north-
ern one. As the last of these sheds was composed
almost entirely of iron, the injury done to it con-
sisted only of the destruction Of the- boarding along
the root; and the displacement of a number of the
iron rods and beams by *which the roof was suspended.
A detachment of the 21st regiment from Edinburgh
Castle were present, and aided materially the fire
brigade in working the engines, as well as in pre-
serving order.
The damage done must be enormous, owing to the
Barge quantity of goods destroyed, consisting among
other thing of a great number of boxes of tea, several
packages of Manchester manufactured goods, bales
of provisions, &c. Nine third-Class passenger car-
riages have also been burned, and six trucks. We
also understand that the splendid travelling carriage
lately built for the company in Greenock, has suffered
to some extent, the sides of it being blistered by the
heat of the fire, and otherwise injured. The officials
of the company estimate the damage done at between
6,0001. and 7,0001:; but it is said that this will not
nearly cover it.

'COLLEGE OP PRECEPTORS.—At the third annual
meeting of this body, held yesterday, at their rooms, ire
Bloomsbury-square, Mr; Turrell; president in the chair,
the report stated that on the 28th December, an official
communication had been received from the Attorney-
Generars office, stating that the charter of the College
of Preceptors, a draft of which had been submitted to
the Board of Trade, had been referred to the attorney'
and solicitor-general by the Council office, and request-
ing that the usual fees of twelve and eleven guineas
should be forwarded to them. Such was the actual po-
sition of the charter question. The efforts of the college
were already known and acknowledged, not only in
Scotland and Ireland, but in New Brunswick, Prince Ed-
ward's Island, and on the Rhine and Ganges, East and
West Indies, as well as in the new world of Australia. The
expenses of obtaining the charter would be 5001., and
towards this sum the council had only to acknowledge
1501. 13s. 6d. They had to regret that this fund was
as 3et so inadequate, as without the charter they could
give little of a national character to the institution, but
with which they could imprint upon a well organised
body of men that mark of genuine professional dignity
which was long, both publicly and privately, due to
those who, as well informed and conscientious teachers
of youth, undertake the charge of rearing and training
them for active life here and for eternity hereafter.—The
remainder of the proceedings consisted of the election
of cacti-a and other routine business, and the Rev. Dr.
Wilson having been called to the chair, a special vote
of thank; was passed to Mr. Turrel, who retires from
the presidency of the council, which he held for three
yews. A subscription for the Charter Food was then
entered into by the gentlemen present, and amounted
to nearly 100/.
IMPORTANT DEClSlON.—Yesterday, at the West-
minster County Court, D. C. Moylan, Esq., the Judge,
decided that plaintiffs had no right to examine defen-
dants as witnesses against themselves.

final examination betory Mr. Henry, on the el.arge of
stealing a great quantity of schedules Irons the Insolvent
Debtors' Court.

It apper.r. d from the evidence that on the Bth of De-
cember lust, between three and four o'cLlclt in the after-
noon, the prisoners I,cre observed upon a stairc;.se
eating to the room in which the records of
the court were kept, and to which the public had no
right of access. The prisoners upon being observed
ran away, and the housekeeper, suspecting ;there was
-owething wrong, went up to the room and found that
a great many schedules and other dccunients had been
abstracted from one of the presses. Upon searching
the room he discovered a blue bag, containing no less
than thirty-nine schedules. As other schedules had
been, on former occasions, stolen from the room,
he gave information to the police ; tun] Schmidt
as taken into custody on Wedne,clay week
last. It appeared that on that same night Boyll went
to Schmidt's lodgings and burnt a great many papers
there. Boyll was afterwards apprehended and brought
up for examination, when he was remanded to this day.
Mr. HENRY inquired in whom the property was vested
And what was the value.

- -
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, who prosecuted by direction
of the Commissioners of the Insolvent Det.tors' Court,
Aaid that the documents were not the property of any
person, and by the: Act of Parliament it was not
necessary to state to whom the schedu'es bah aged, or
what the value was—it was enough that they were
public documents.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
As they were being taken out of court, Schmidt
leaned over the partition which separated the passage
from that body of the court, and struck a woman named
Robinson (whose husband vas mentioned in the coursa
of the evidence as being suspected of having given
information) a violent blow on the head.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED).
FRASER.

The present number of Fraset= will be greedily
sought for, if only on account of the contents of one
page, one single page, in which we find three un-
published songs by the .late Thomas: Hood, and
beautiful songs they are too, bearing internal evi-.
dente of their own authenticity. As an example we
give

Christendom; but unqnestionably his faith in a species
of supernatural interposition; not usually, now-a-cla)s,
'received even by rigid Catholics; can-only be traced to
the singular event recorded in his youth, toi which he
himself attributes his present position and his present
preservation. .
" In' the year 1794 the young Mastai Ferretti, 'thew
but a tender. infant of the tender age 'of two, was re-
posing in his cradle in one of the vait salons of the
ancient pallazzio of the family, at Senegaltia, where he
first saw the light, at-"a period when Italy was dis-
tracted by the Outburst of the, great French Revolution.
The chamber was deserted; the attendant nurse had
stolen out,io enjoy the society of some favourite cicisbeo,
and naughte-ketafiling hunranity remained in the apart-
ment save the slumbering child and the figure 'of a
sacred abbess, Notre Donna dela Scene, which frowned
in awful sanctity from the walls. Suddenly a boar of
enormous size entered the chamber,, having made its-
_
way either wild from the adjacent hill's, or from' a recess
adjoining, in which it bad been detained by some mem-
bers Ofthe family, to afford the Pleasure ef a hUnt on the
subsequent day. The animal was naturally ferocious,
end hunger' had made it savage. It approached the
cradle, and was on the poh.t of seizing the child, awak-
ened by its noise. The snout of the brute, it is said,
was in contact with the cheek of the infant, and iu
another moment the child would have been borne off in
its tusks, when suddenly a noise was heard, and the
tapestry on which Notre Donn,: was emblazoned shook.
humour, and probably truth, ascribed this to the romps
of the nurse and her lover in the adjoining apartment,
when tt vase or statue was accidentally overturned
against the wall ; but the pious, and amongst others
the Pope himself, as well as his mother, devoutly attri-
buted it to the sainted interposition of the abbess; arid
;he child raising a cry, the attendant hurried to the
chamber, but a moment before the young hope of the
house would have been devoured or borne off.

" How much of truth, or how much of imagination
there is in this legend, it is not for us to say; but the
incident certainly is still believed by the peasantry of
the district, and, what is more, by the present Pope him-,
self. It had the immediate effect of causing the infant
thin rescued to be devoted to the church, instead of the
profession of arms, for which he had previously been
designed, and for which all Italy at that moment panted;
and by those who are unable otherwise to account for
credulity so uncommon in our age, especially in one so
calm and sagacious as his present Holiness, it has bon
considered the origin of that faith which Pius so lately
placed on the miraculous agency of the Polish abbesA,
Notre Donna do la Scella being, by a singular coincid-
ence, the presiding saint of both."

The writer is evidently well acquainted with
Italian politics, and, although a great ad-
mirer of the Pope, he is by no means
Wind to the short-comings of certainly " one
of the most amiable men that ever filled
the Pontifical throne." The following account of
the causes which led to the recent revolution at
Rome, and of the objects of those engaged in it, is,
we believe, more trustworthy than any of the nu-
merous accounts which have hitherto appeared from
the Jesuit and obscurantist Italian correspondents of
the daily papers :
" Those unacquainted with the circumstances are apt
to attribute the Pope's recent unpopularity solely to the
proverbial vaccillation of the people's opinion; but the
fact is for the last six months Pius IX. has been pur-
suing a system of policy decidedly reactionary. He re-
tused his subjects a constitution in the first instance;
he withheld from them a popular administration in the
second. Ever since February last Rossi has been his
ruling star, and under this fatal ascendancy all his for-
mer popularity gave way. It was in vain that in April
last he dismissed the Jesuits. Father Roothmam, with
the whole of the fraternity, was nominally expelled from
the Roman States, and it was even fir a moment sup-
posed that the Fleming would be driven to the country
from which he sprang: Rossi, said to be a member of
the order, was surmised to maintain secret relations with
them; and the act was considered to be a temporary
concession to popular opinion rather than a renunciation
of Austrian policy,:with the latter of which the ci-devant
French Ambassador was now held to be completely
identified. Tbough the society was thus ordered to quit
the Roman States, and doomed to see its colleges sup-
pressed, its head-quarters taken up, and even Roothman
himself, with the whole of his staff marched out of the
capital, the movement inspired no confidence. Cardinal
Vizardelli, one of the most devoted adherents, was en-
trusted with the control of their ♦ast funds; nominally
for the benefit of the State, but in secret, it was well
understood, for the exclusive advantage of the order.
" An event such as this—the suppression of a society
the most formidable perhaps which the world ever saw,
and which, in one manner or another has embroiled
Europe for centuries, would at any other period have
excited a profound sensation, and perhaps have filled a
memorable space in the page of contemporanean his-
tory. But it may be considered as some proof of the ex-
traordinary magnitude of the scenes at present passing
under our eyes, that it produced not the slightest sensa-
tion on the Continent, and, indeed, but for the dissatis-
faction that subsequently arose, would have been almost
unknown to ninety-nine out of every hundred indivi-
duals in England. But the dissatisfaction arising out
of the imperfect manner in which it was accomplished,
affords the true clue to most of the events that followed.
The Prince of Canino, long the deadly foe of the order,
immediately seized the opportunity for promoting his
own ambitious designs on the sovereignty of Rome, or at
least, the Presidency of a Roman Republic; and Mazzini
and others who viewed the institution with equal en-
mity, from feelings of greater disinterestedness, not only
denounced its partial suppression, but accused the Ponti-
fical Cabinet of still retaining secret relations with the
repudiated body, and eventually, on finding Rossi or
Pius persist in the policy, raised the cry of national in-
dependence. In their own emphatic words, boldly ut-
tered by the chief of them in this country six years ago,
' The Rome of the Ctesars bad passed, the Rome of the
Popes was passing, and that of the Italian people was
now about to arise.' Those who a few years ago treated
this prophetic declaration with ridicule or scorn, as the
ebullition of a fierce enthusiast, may be surprised to find
how nearly it is on the point of being at present realised;
and assuredly, they, who shortly afterwards laughed in'
derision of tho exiled Italian's complaint of the violation
of his letters by Sir James Graham, could not surmise
that he was to prove.one of the principal instruments in
effecting the mighty change." -
This is an excellent number of the Mirror.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.
• The agreeable anticipations with which we clored
our last notice of the number of this very able periodi-
cal for the past eventful year, have been fully realised
by the first number for the new year. We
have found it a most pleasing combination of
the instructive and the beautiful. It opens with a
well-written tale, entitled " Love and Mesmerism ;
some passages from the Life of the Countess of Ro-
senthal ;" the next is an interesting paper on the
" Life and Literary Remains of John Keats," edited
by R. Monckton Milius. M.P. The continuation of
" Ceylon and the Cyngalese " is,. as usual, light and
amusing. The " Fairfax Correspondence" will be
read with deep interest. It contains some quaint
and graphio accounts of scenes and characters
in a very stirring period of England's history.
The poetry in the present number is excellent, and
we scarcely know on which to bestow the palm—the
original or the translations. "A Provision for the
Roman Catholic Clergy, considered in a Letter to the
Editor of the Quarterly Review" is a cleverly written
paper, but our space will not. allow us at present to_
'canvass the opinions of the author, The other papers
are " Ireland's Industry and Ireland's Benefactors;"
and " France, a Retrospect of the Year 1848"—alto-
gether, the first number for 1849 has opened well,
and we have no doubt the genius and talent of our
sister isle, will continue to sustain this magizine in the-
high position which it has attained in the periodical
literature of the day.
