GREAT FIRE AT BRISTOL.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
As, you will have heard of the large tire we had here last
night, I beg to send you the particulars, being on the spot at
the fire.
It originated in the Creosote Tank, by a spark, from the
candle being imprudently placed or used, and immediately
communicated to the timber lying on the field, and prepared
for laying the permanent way. The blaze was awful, arid the
damage about 10,0001., principally belonging to the Exeter
Company, but they are no losers, being fully covered by
the Sun and Globe offices. Lieutenant Booker of the Sal-
vage, the City police, and men on the spot, were particularly
active and useful, but the engines belonging to the offices
were ineffective both in condition and want ofhose, and until
eleven o'clock were not used: an.l th,-n ealv one, a',34 that
badly, in fact nolhing'could be worse. Some observation, on
them would be valuable, not only to the interests of the Cork-,
pang but the public generally.
I saw the Secretary of the Great Western Company to-day,
and he states the damage they sustain to be little or nothing,
and that it will neither retard their opening or that of the
Bristol and Exeter Company.
The river is adjoining the field, but the engines were not
placed near it.
Bristol, April 29, 1841.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

BRISTOL, APRIL 29.--This city was last night alarmed at
about eight o'clock, with the intelligence that a most exten-
sive and destructive fire had broken at the Great Western
Railway terminus. On proceeding to the spot we found that
the fire had taken place in the timberyard of the Company,
containing 100,000 loads of timber at the least. Various causes
were stated as the origin of the fire, which commenced in
the large tank of creosote, which has lately been used as a
new and more expeditious process than kyanising, for the
preservation of timber. By some it was stated to have been
caused by the accidental falling of a candle into the creosote.
It was also stated, and perhaps more accurately, that the tank
was over heated. Upon arriving at the spot the yard presented
the appearance of a vast sheet of fire of the most vivid de-
scription, arising from vast masses of burning timber, and the
cont.nts of immense iron tanks of coal tar, &c. The various en-
gines of the city were speedily on the spot, and a vast concourse
of people, amounting during the night to 40,000 or 50,000
persons, assembled from all parts to view the tremend-
ous conflagration, many coming from Bath, Henbury, and the
surrounding villages, where the fire was distinctly visible.
Some idea may be formed as to its extent, when we state that
an area containing nearly two acres, filled with timber and
other combustible materials, was on tire at the same time. In
fact neither the fires in Queen-square at the memorable riots,
or that of the Devonport dockyard, were nearly so extensive as
the present conflagration. All efforts to stem its pr. gress were
completely useless until the plan of cutting it off from the re-
maining timber in the yard was adopted ; for which purpose
several hundred men and four or five teams of horses were
set to work, removing the adjacent timber to a distance, by
which means at about halt...past fur this morning the fire wasat
length gut under, and from 15,0001. to 20,000/. of timber belong-
ing to the Great Western Railway Company, together with the
terminus and neighbouring buildings, were saved. We 'egret
to state, however, that the property destroyed (which belongs
to the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company), has been esti-
mated at from 18,0001. to 20,000 j. The heat from the fire was
so intense that the neighbouring trees were set on fire, and
two of them were burnt completely to the ground. One of
the trees presented a very picturesque appearance, its branches
being on fire in a variety of places, conveying to the eye the
appearance of a number of gas-lights. Mr. Brunel was at
Chippenham when he heard of the fire, and immediately went
to Bristol.

If the efforts to stay the progress of the fire, by the removal
of the surrounding timber (about 1,800 loads) had not been
successlul, the splendid terminus, as well as ;he Burrounding
manufactories, would in all probability have been destroyed.
Fortunately no lives were lost, and only one serious accident
occurred, a gentleman having his thigh broken by the fall of a
heavy piece of timber.

As a fair specimen of the arguments employed
at Nottingham with such voters as were likely to be
influenced by such representations, we arc assured by a
gentleman, who happened to be in the town on commercial
business, as a fact within his own knowledge, thatit was cum-
m nly stated by the Tcry canvassers for Mr. Walter, to those
who were known to be Chartists, or were suspected of being
favourable to their views, that Mr. Walter's election
would turn out the present Ministry, and that the Tories
would obtain the pardon of all political offenders, and
bring back Frost and the other Ch trtiits who were trans-
ported for their share in the insuirce,ion at Netvport.
Poor deluded simpletons ! bad a Tory Government been
in power at the time of the iusurreetion, every man con-
victed of taking active part in the outrage would assured•
have been hanged.
STANLEY'S BILL.--Our county meeting on
yesterday passed off triumphantly. Notwithstanding the occu-
pations that necessarily engage all classes in the country at
this season of the year, there was present on this occasion,
from all parts of the county, an array of rank, wealth, and in-
telligence rarely to be met with at a public meeting. This
array, mustered for the defence of our liberties and the pro-
tection of our best interests, was headed by a nobleman,
Lord Guillamore, who, before cow, with that undaunted
courage for which Irishmeh are distinguished, drew his
sword on the bettle-field in deence of the empire and the
crown of Great 13ritain. We are spared the trouble of writing
on this subject at present, because of the superior excel-
leree of the speeches delivered, Odell must he read
with intense interest, The Noble Lord's speech is just
what became him, it true Irishman, to make. Mr. Potter's
lucid explanation and analysis of several clauses of the rival bills
need only be read to be duly appreciated; whilst the seiitlinelits
expressed by the Very Rev, Dean Coll, Very Rev, T. 3'13.
Costelloe, sir. Furnell, Mr Powell, arid Captain Kind, Mint
convince Lord Stanley and his party of the undoubted right
that Irishmen have to an equal participation of political privi•
leges with Englishmen or Scotehmen, and of the it deterrnina-
twn not. to be satisfied with less. Yes, with Father Costellot
and Mr. Buller we say, that if Stanley and his Tory faction
succeed in depriving us of our liberties, we are prepared and
have the weans "to right" ourselves. This county assembled
more frequently, and sent forth more numerously isigned peti-
tions from its several parishes, than any county in Ireland
against this iniquitous measure.—Limerick Reporter, of
Tuesday.

ANNIVERSARIES.—Yesterday, the 30th of
April, is the anniversary of the battle of Fontenoy in 1745,
arid also of the death of George Farquhar, the celebrated
dramatist. He was born at Londonderry, in Ire!and, in 1678.
His first dramatic piece, called Love in a Bottle, was produced
in his 20th year, and was attended with much success. His
last was the Beaux Stratagem, which had a great run, in the
midst of which he died, in 1707. The 30th of April is like-
wise commemorable as the day on which the Edict of Nantes
was signed, in 1598.
