FINAL DECISION OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES

OM THE PROJECT OF LAW FOR THE REDUC-

TION OF THE FIVE PEI; CENTS.

The Sitting of Tuesday was taken up with
amendments for exceptions, which were severally
rejected. The principal exceptions proposed were
—the stock belonging to the Invalids of the
Navy, the Chamber of Peers, the Legion of
Honour, the Conseil du &eau des Titres, the
public and religious institutions, the communes,
the tontines, the fonds de retraite, minors, ab-
sentees, marriage settlements, deposits as securi-
ties, such holders as were among those who suf-
fered a reduction of two-thirds, and such holders
as do not possess to the amount of lAOOf. per an-
num. Several sub-amendments were likewise
proposed and rejected.
On Wednesday the debate was resumed, and
a number of other amendments were proposed
and rejected ; and many others pressing upo❑
the Chamber, it wns determined that the discus-
sion be closed, and the President, amidst violent
protests from many Members, put the previous
question on eight of them successively, and all
were thus got rid of. The Liberals and the Ul-
tras, who were united in their opposition to the
Bill, severally endeavoured to get a hearing.
M. Girardin ascended the tribune, and having
been refused a hearing, was succeeded by Gen.
Donnadieu, Who was equally unsuccessful in his
appeal to the President, and the vote was put on
the whole law by the lipped nominal.
The result of the scrutiny was as follows. Number of votes,
385 :—White Balls - - 238
Black - 145

Majority for the Projet

The law was thus adopted, though by a majority not, per-
haps, so overpowering as was anticipated, and the Chamber
adjourned at half-past five.

COXFLAGRATION AT WHITECHAPEL.—The ut-
most alarm prevailed on Thursday evening in Osborne-street,
Whitechapel, and its surrounding neighbourhood, in conse-
quence of the spacious sugar-houses belonging to ,Ir. Alder-
man Lucas, in Osborne-street, being discovered to be on fire.
The first symptoms of the conflagration were discovered about
6 o'clock in the evening. Instant communication was dispatch-
ed to the various stations of the fire-engines ; but, previous to
their arrival, the engines belonging to the parishes of White-
chapel and Spitaltields were promptly in attendance ; but their
weak efforts to abate the devouring element had not the least
effect. About 7 o'clock the other engines arrived, and stationed
themselves in situations best calculated to get free egress to the
scene of destruction. Still their exertions appeared to be in vain,
and the entire structure was in one mass of flame ; the ponderous
girders falling at intervals with tremendous crashes, followed by
most awful volumes of fire. At nine o'clock the whole of the
floors, with:their iron doors, fell in, but fortunately no accident
was occasioned, leaving the entire front, nine stories high,
standing. Theczigin of the disaster is supposed to have been
caused pan Otimney throwing out too much heat into the
drying' by
yie
eitnlon the attic, where the smoke was discovered to be
issuing from. The Pi raises, .we understand, are insured, to-
gether with the stock, to the amount ot 98,223/. It is a singular
circumstance,, that IthOut 24 years ago a fire took place upon the
same site, and the front 'Fall „which then escaped the conflagra-
tion is now standing.
