DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

• A most alarming fire broke out last evening, shortly
• before six o'clock, in the extensive premises of Messrs.
John Black and Co., rope and sail makers, at Lance-
yards behind the store. The fire originated, we
understand, in the hemp-store ; and from the infor-
mation we were enabled to get in the confusion at-
tending such an occurrence, we believe it was caused
by a boy, who, while looking for his jacket previous
to leaving work, lit a piece of paper, and afterwards
field. The premises, which are well known by the
name of the Lancefield Rope Works, consisted of a
counting-house, engine-house, hemp and tar store,
and a range of wooden sheds extending about 150
threw it on the floor, and it communicated with the
hemp, which was soon in a blaze. The alarm was
immediately given, and shortly afterwards the engines
arrived, and under the direction of Mr. Andrew
Macfarlane, the interim superintendent, were quickly
got to work ; but by that time the flames had spread
to an alarming extent, owing to the inflammable
nature of the materials. The fire spread both ways
with great rapidity, and in less than half an hour
the whole premises were in one continued blaze.
The scene at this moment was awfully grand, the
extent of the buildings on fire being nearly two
hundred yards. In order to prevent the fire seizing
the property at the end of the sheds, they were
sawn in two, thus cutting off the communication,
which, fortunately, had the desired effect. The
bonded warehouses of Messrs. Patrick Robertson and
Co., which run parallel with the Lancefield Works,
and were filled with corn, caught fire several times,
but by the active exertions of the fire brigade, the
fire was immediately extinguished. By half-past six
the whole of the premises were completely gutted,
the roofs and walls having fallen in, and the firemen
principally confined their exertions to the prevention
of the fire extending to the adjoining houses. In
this they were successful, and at eight o'clock, all
apprehension of the fire spreading farther was at an
end, though the tar-store was still burning most
furiously, but from its distance from the adjoining
buildings there was no fear of its extending. The
safety of Messrs. Robertson's warehouses was chiefly
owing to the direction of the wind, which carried
the flames from them ; had the wind been Wowing
from the east, nothing, we think, could have saved
them from destruction. The value of the stock de-
stroyed is estimated at 3,0001., and that of the build-
ings at between 3,0001. and 4,000/. ; but we are glad
to learn that both were insured. The engines pre-
sent were those of the Glasgow Brigade, Anderston,
Clyde, the West of England, and alfo a private en-
gine belonging to Messrs. Barclay and Caddell, ship
carpenters; and much praise is due to the exertions
of those working them.—Glasgow paper of Saturday.

LICENSING PUBLIC-HOUSES.-THE JUSTICES OF ESSEX.

Mr. HUMFREY, Q.C., applied to the Court, on be-
half of a publican in Essex, to issue a mandamus,
calling upon the justices of Essex, at quarter sessions
assembled, to show cause why they refused to grant
the person on whose behalf he applied a license. It
appeared that the justices had refused his application
and that he had carried an appeal to the quarter ses-
sions, the justices at which refused to entertain his
application on the ground that he did not, in the
terms of the Act George IV., c. 61, state that he
was aggrieved by the act of the justices. It ap-
peared, however, that he did state, though not in the
exact terms prescribed by the Act, that he had suf-
fered by their act.—Application acceded to.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1847.

The trial of ITAISMAN, the engineer of the Cricket
steamer at the time of the unfortunate explosion
whiCh took place on the 27th of August last, has
been adjourned, at the instance of the Crown, until
the next session of the Central Criminal Court. We
believe that no bill was sent before the grand jury
against him, and that it is on the Coroner's inquisi-
tion solely that the matter yet rests. We regret this
postponement fur many reasons. It was due to the
public that no time should have been lost in bringing
to a conclusion the investigation into the causes that
led to the melancholy accident by which five human
beings have been deprived of their lives. It would
have been highly desirable that every additional light
should have been thrown on the transaction, in ad-
dition to the searching inquiry that had already
taken place before the Coroner, that it might be fully
and accurately known whether there is anything
really dangerous in the peculiar construction of the
engines used on board of the halfpenny boats, whether
there was any reasonable precaution omitted on
th part of the proprietors, and whether, in
fact, the same degree of safety is afforded
that is to be obtaitned, in the other boats plying on
that
the river, and
the very great accommodation
yielded by the companymay be made use of without
any degree of imprudence
hor foolhardiness. If there
is not that safety, means should be taken without a
the
moment's delay to obviate
future ture risks to which
hu
passengers may be exposed ; if, on the other
hand, nothing really objectionable is
to be discovered,
if there is no extraordinary danger beyond that which
must necessarily exist, and which cannot be avoided
by any human foresight or precaution, the pcite-
ment which naturally followed so shocking an occur-
rence should be calmed down, and no vague fears
should be permitted to prevent the people from avail-
ing themselves of the advantages within their reach,
and by which they may be safely, speedily, and
cheaply conveyed to their destinations, effecting a
double saving, both in time gnil money.
But if the public had a right to desire that no un-
necessary deisy should have been interposed before
they should receive the assurance that would be afe
forded by a trial before one of the jatigei of the supe-
rior courts, with able counsel to speak on either side,
it appears to us that the proprietors of the halfpenny
boats, more especially Mr. SMITH, upon whom a cer-
tain degree of censure has been cast, have had a still
stronger claim thereto. That gentleman has suffered
a Leavy pecuniary loss, rot only in the destruction of
his property on the occasion in question, but also in
the prejudice excited in the public mind against the
mode of conveyance he had provided, and which pre-
vented many from availing themselves thereof, and

THE EXECUTION OF HUTCHINGS

FOR POISONING HIS WIFE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—What did the doubts arise upon as to the ex-
ecution of this man ? That there are doubts cannot
be questioned. For instance—might not the arsenic
found in the body be the arsenic that the deceased
may have taken in the numerous preparations used
by the medical profession in certain cases ? Again,
might not the arsenic have been taken by the deceased
herself for the purpose of suicide ?
The above, I hope, was well considered before the
Secretary of State gave his fiat for the execution of
Hutchings.
In a late similar case, tried before Baron Alderson,
at Liverpool, that Learned Judge directed an acquittal
(although the evidence was quite as strong, if not
stronger, than in the Hutchings case), because, as he
said, " The arsenic might have got into the body from
the churchyard."
It appeared that the deceased had been buried some
time, and was exhumed. The same circumspection,
I fear, was not used in the case of Hutchings.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

CLERKENWELL.-(TIIISDA.Y

George Wells was charged with stealing a table,
the property of Mr. G. Willis, the landlord of the
George the Fourth public-house, New North-road,
Islington.
Attached to the prosecutor's house was a long
range of gardens, furnished with tables and seats.
The prisoner walked into the gardens from the road,
and after sauntering about for a short time took one
of the tables, and placing it upon his shoulder walked
off with it. In consequence of information given to
the landlord he followed the prisoner and overtook
him with the table on his shoulder. He was com-
mitted for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Carter, fancy netting manufacturer, of
No. 8, Crown-street. Finsbury, was brought up for
re-examination, charged with intermarrying with
Emiline Pettot, his former wife.being still alive.
The defendant, who was married to his first wife
in May, 1836, at St. Andrew's-the-Less, Cambridge,
has bad by her eleven children, and she is now preg-
nant. lie is in the habit of employing at his business,
males and females, 300 hands. On one of the latter,
however, it would seem, he had recently cast an eye,
and although the lady knew that her suitor
was already a married man, she consented to be-
come his duplicate wife, and they were married
at Hackney Old Church, on the 13th of September,
last, and bride the second was conducted to No. 4,
Frederick-place, Kingsland-road, where the defen-
dant, from that time, past his nights, leaving it in
the morning to attend his business at No. 8, Crown-
street, where his first wife resided. The cause of
the nightly absence became known, and hence the
present prosecution.
Both certificates were produced, and both mar-
riages proved.
The defendant appeared to imagine that he was
fully justified in what he had done, inasmuch as he
had married his first wife in the name of Webb,
whereas her real name was Le Mayne.
He was committed for trial.

STRAND THEATRE.

Last evening, the historical play of Kenilworth;
or the Golden Days of Elizabeth, was produced for
the first time at this theatre. It is founded on the
celebrated novel of the immortal Scott, and was suc-
cessful. Mr. Archer, as Richard Varney, acted with
his accustomed care and judgment; the part of Tre-
silian was allotted to Mr. Broadfoot, who acquitted
himself very ably. Mr. Rogerson, as Anthony Fostyr,
drew down repeated applause, and the character of
Mike Lambourne was well sustained by Mr. Beth-
way, and showed him to be an experienced actor.
Goldthred, by Mr. Yarnold was very good. The
other male parts of the play were creditably filled.
Of the Amy Robsart of Miss Love, we must speak in
terms of praise—it was a beautiful piece of act-
ing ; and the part of Janet Foster, was well sus-
tained by that clever young actress liss J. Coleman.
Mrs. Woollidge, as Queen Elizabeth, looked the cha-
racter, but she wanted that dignity and stately mien
for which Elizabeth was so remarkable. In the
course of the play Madlle. Louise Blanche, assisted
by the corps de ballet, danced one of the prettiest old
English morris dances we have seen for a very long
time, it was rapturously encored. The play was
given out for repetition every evening till further
notice. The house was crowded.

Several witnesses were examined, who proved
seeing the prisoner assault complainant as described.
In defence, the prisoner (who appeared to ho in
fell against the complainant, and touched her bonnet.
She called out police for ten minutes, and tore his
waistcoat. He hoped the magistrate would let him
go. He was sure he was a just magistrate, and if he
would let him go, he (the prisoner) would never
meddle with any woman again.
Mr. BINGHAM said he most assuredly should not let
him go. It was a case of the grossest description.
He had only the power to fine him 51., or commit
him to prison. He should advise complainant to go

Complainant's husband said he wished to punish
defendant to the utmost the law allowed, and would
rather take the case to the sessions.
The depositions were then taken, and the prisoner
committed.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAIL.

WAY.
The twenty-second half. yearly meeting of the
London and Blackwall Railway Company took place
yesterday at the London Tavern.
J. N. Daniels, Esq., took the chair shortly after
twelve o'clock, when the usual formalities having been
gone through,
The SECRETARY read the report, from which it
appeared that the total amount of receipts
for the last half-year was: 27,6021., and the
expenses 23,841/., leaving a balance of upwards of
3,0001., out of which it was proposed to pay a dividend
of Is. od. per share, clear of income-tax. The re-
port also stated that the circumstances that had
diminished the receipts on other railway had affected
that a the 1„.1t1 isiackwall Railway. The
failing off had taken place principally in the local and
Gravesend traffic, Nivhile that to Woolwich had been
doubled.
The CHAIRMAN said it was always matter of regret
to state to the proprietors of any company that there
was a falling off in their receipts, and more especially
to do so with respect to a company whose receipts
had never been of the most flourishing description.
The falling off, however, upon this line had not been
greater than that upon other lines, and that,
too, from the same cause. The directors
had abandoned proceeding with the Bill for
there extension line in the last session with regret
and reluctance, but they did it under the best ad.
vice, considering the circumstances in which they
were placed. With respect to the branch line, the
proprietors might depend upon it that the directors
would do all in their power to meet the expenses of
it as they became clue, but they were anxious not to
be too hard on the shareholders in their calls.
A PROPRIETOR observed that the directors had
made three calls within the last five months.
The CHAIRMAN admitted that they had, but it had
been found necessary to do so ; if the directors had
not made the calls they had to pay the contractors,
they would not have done their work.
A PROPRIETOR wished to know if the directors
had made any arrangement with the Eastern Counties
line when their branch was finished, because at the
present moment this company was entirely at the
mercy of the Eastern Counties Company.
The CHAIRMAN denied that this company was at
the mercy of the Eastern Counties Company. The
directors, however, did not look to the Eastern Coun-
ties alone for the value of their extension line. They
IHearlooked to the traffic from Bow.—(

had no doubt if the Eastern Counties Company
did not come to proper terms with this company,
looking at the situation and importance of their ter-
minus being in the heart of the City, the public would
force them.—(Hear, hear.)
A PROPRIETOR said—Then he was to understand
that no agreement had been made with the Eastern

ante for all kinds, but any improvement in prices has been
prevented by the large supply. The public sales havo
been well attended ; buyers were desirous to purchase
Colonial, and neatly the whole passed the hammer up to
the present time has actually been sold. The rates ob-
tained have been equal to those of the last auctions, al-
though the quantity declared was very large, amounting
to 30,000 bales.

Oils.—All descriptions of Southern Oil arc wanted,
and the rates paid are equal to those that existed pre-
viously. Privately some parcels have been sold, and at
auction 60 tuns all found buyers. Cod has been sold to
a fair extent at 271 5s to 271 103, but for arrival sales
can be made under these rates. Holders of seal mani-
fested firmness, and for pale the demand is good at
271 10s, indeed for small quantities 271 10s to 281 have
been obtained. Other sorts move off steadily. Sperm
has met with attention, and the parcels scld privately
were at previous rates. At auction 43 tuns found buyers.
There are further arrivals of Fish Oils, but the con-
sumption is going on satisfactorily. The market for
Linseed Oil has assumed a quiet appearance, and there
being a better supply a fall in prices of 6d per cwt has
taken place; exporters and the home trade have operated
with caution, and 27s 3d per cwt is the quotation on the
spot. For forward delivery purchases to a fair extent
have been made in consequence.
TALLaw.—The purchases made in Russian on the
spot have been limited by the town and country trade,
and the rates taken are 47s 6d for old, and 47s 9d to
48s for New Petersburgh Yellow Candle of first quality,
upon which terms there are ready sellers. For de-
livery there are few buyers to be met with,
although fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle can be ob-
tained at 47s at the end of the month, and at 46s 6d per
cwt for the last three months of the year. Rome-made
is little wanted. For other kinds of Tallow the market
is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline.

REVIEWiI OP THE WORE.
',SWEET ON SELF-PRESEBNATION.—KENT AND RWILSRDs.—This
work possesses advantages over every other other of the kind sub-
mitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some con-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of his
profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his
qualifications and diplomas in the work, and several testimonials of
his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which
is a most important consideration to those whn, from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an excellent
manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victim of vicious habits
and excessive dissipation, will be enabled to account for peculiar
disabilities, and to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings
in an easy and effectual manner.—United Service Gazette.

VICE CHANCERY COURT, Feb. 15.

(Before the VICE-CMANCELLOK of ENGLAYD.)
His Honour the Vice Chancellor of England was occupied
the whole morning with the arguments in the case of
Haffenden v. Woods, which came before the Court upon ex-
ceptions to the ➢Master's report. The case presented no fea-
ture of interest except for the parties concerned.
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
His HONOUR was occupied during the morning in hearing
bankrupt petitions, none of which were of any importance.
The remaining proceedings were equally uninteresting.
