Broughton Old Hall, near Manchester, was partly
destroyed by fire on Saturday morning, and damage was
done to the extent of nearly 1,0001. It was, to within
a few years ago, the seat of the late Rev. W. Clowes ;
and on his brother, Colonel Clowes, the present owner,
coming into possession, he removed the furniture, for
the purpose of subjecting the building .to.some exten-
si've' altefatiOns. Uwing to this circumstance the loss
has been trifling, compared with what it would have
been if the hall had been occupied by the family. The
hall is situate about two miles from Manchester, and the
alarm did not reach the police till some considerable time
had been lost. The fire was entirely subdued in less than
two hours, after destroying a large portion of the roof and
of the cupola over the south front, beside the upper part
of the grand staircase. As the walls and ceilings were
in course of receiving embellishments, they also suffered
much injury both from fire and water. The only tenants
of the hall were three grooms, occupying the upper
sleeping rooms, and they were awoke by a suffocating
sensation, arising from the smoke. They tried to make
their way down stairs by the principal staircase, but,
finding egress that way cut off, they escaped by the
windows upon some saffolding erected by the bricklayers,
and thence descended by ladders which had been left
reared against the scaffolding. The origin of the disaster
is attributed to the joiners on the previous night having
left a very hot fire in one of the rooms, which had ig-
nited some pegs, the ends of which in one direction com-
municated with the flues, and in the other with the
skirting-boards of the room.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.—A deputation is now
in London bearing a petition to Government not to re-
new the appointment of the present governor of Prince
Edward Island. Circumstances have for some time
rendered a continuation of Sir Henry Vere Huntley in
his office anything but desirable, and the well-being of
the colony would, no doubt, be served by the appoint-
ment of some other gentleman for the administration of
its affairs. Indeed, no other course would seem to be at
all politic, from the number and station of those who
object Lhi s peculiar course of action. The deputation
o the Hon. Mr. Pope, Speaker of the House of
cescisttts o
flor th forty-three
principal merchants
commissioners
-three
Assembly, the Hon. Mr. Palmer, representative of
Charlottetown, and Andrew Duncan, Esq., one of the
principal merchants of the island. The second named
gentleman was a member of the Executive Council, and
only resigned his seat at the board in consequence of his
own and the public feeling with regard to this question.
The petition bears the names of all the sheriffs, thirty-
m ,justices
bolding judicial office, and above four thousand three
hundred
and other inhabitants of the island ; and the prayer of
the petition is supported by the recorded opinion of a
s ied
electors, theincluding
all
majority of the present members of the House of As
sembly itself.—Liverpool Mercury.
OUTRAGE AT CHATHAM. _Terence Cook and Ed.
- -

ward Price, privates in the 63d Regiment, and William
Berwick, a sailor, were brought before the county ma-
gistrates at Rochester, together with William Carson,
William Armstrong and Angus M'Lean, Royal Marines,
-captured since the examination of the first three pri-
soners. The charge against them was for an offence of
frequent occurrence lately
in the neighbourhood of Chat-
ham. The prisoners forced an entrance into the White
Lion public house in that town, and broke a quantity of
glass. Being ultimately expelled from the premises,
they threw heavy stones through the chamber window in
which the wife of the landlord was lying in bed, not
having recovered from her recent confinement. One of
the missiles, Weighing 71bs. or Sibs., struck the bedpost,
and drove the landlady, with her infant, to a closet for
shelter. All the prisoners were found guilty, and as
Captain Baker, the presiding magistrate, observed, there
were different degrees of guilt, so the Court would award
different degrees of punishment. The judgment, there-
fore, was that Cook and Price pay a penalty of 405.,
and lls. 6d. costs each, or to be committed to the House
of Correction for two calendar months; Carson, Arm-
strong, and M‘Lean, 21s. 6d. each, or twenty-one days'
imprisonment; and Berwick 16s. 6d., or fourteen days' '
imprisonment. All the prisoners were removed in
custody.

Usa or THE TELEGRAPH.—Extract from a letter
by a lady :—" Did you know what a mistake they com-
mitted at Masbro' about my ticket ? Directly after you
left me it occurred to me that they had taken 195., first-
class fare, and given me a second-class ticket. So I
called the guard at Chesterfield, who was a very civil
man, and he soon saw what they had done, and spoke
to the station-master to telegraph the message back to
Masbro'. On arriving at Derby the guard went directly
to the carriage, and told the ticket-taker the story, who
was very civil also. He took my ticket, and went to the
telegraph office. I suppose he found the message there
that all was right, for he came to mo whilst I was hav-
ing my dinner, and brought me a first-class ticket, at
which I was very glad. Here is the benefit of the tele-
graph, as I experienced it."
