THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The
workmen, of whom there are 200, are now employed in com-
pleting the foundations for the projected mansion for the
Speaker, the house for the Usher of the Black Rod, the select
committee-rooms, libraries of the two Houses, and other
offices. It is understood that the foundation-stone for both
the new Houses will be laid by her 31ajesty ire person, with
great pomp, in the course of the approaching summer, if the
state of the works, which advance but slowly, will admit of the
ceremony taking place so early.
Between the census Gf 1811 and that of 1831 i
the proportion of families employed in agriculture to the rest 0,
the community, fell from 35 out of every 100 to 28 out o_l.
every 100. During those 20 years the increase in the number
of families altogether was 34 per cent. ; that of the trading
and manufacturing classes, taken exclusively, 27 per cent•_;ci
that of the agricutural class, only 7 1-sth per cent. Ae",
yet, during that period, nearly 2,1)00,000 of acres were add
.14_
by enclosure bills, to the land under cultivation, and the
general productiveness of the soil was increased in high
degree.
FIRES.—It appears that the late extensive co of
flagration in Portman-market was the work of some bop ten
about twelve years old. The juvenile delinquents are like`,'

last, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Crtnld
Brothers, and Co., lucifer-match manufacturers, Holton `-!_. n
Town. Several engines from the metropolitan and other 57
tions were speedily on the spot, but, although there was .
abundant supply of water, the premises were totally consun
No cause can be assigned for the origin of the ire, but lt e

BARONETCY OF PIERSTON.—We understa.•
that brieves have been taken out for serving .31r. Robert 138"
clay, heir to his grandfather, the late Sir Robert Bar?.
of Pierston, Bart„ who died at the Mauritius in August last '
and, as the baronetcy is also claimed I y Mr. Davie Barclay'
the son of the late Sir Robert's second marriage with the Pa.
roness de Cronstadt, this matter will probably afford some en?'
ployment for the legal gentlemen. The point involved
another question of international marriages, which seem to he.
come every day more and more difficult of solution.—Scotsnies'
