FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

This morning a fire, which resulted in loss of
life, occurred in the warehouse of Mr. Vickers, oil
and colour warehouseman, in Aldersgate-street.
Some young men were filling a can with crystal
oil, when the fumes came in contact with a
light held by one of them, and instantaneously the
can exploded, and the three persons were enveloped
in flames. Two of the men rushed into the shop
covered with fire, which was speedily extinguished,
but not before they each received such injuries as
to lead to serious apprehensions for their lives,
but the third boy, who could not find his way from
the store cellar, was burnt to death. The fire,
fortunately, was prevented by the timely arrival of
the engines from communicating with the inflam-
mable stock of .Iklr. Vickers.

THAMES.

KING JOHN AND THE CARMAN.—Seymour Ab-
bott, a carman, aged 41 years, of No. 22, Assembly-
passage, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with being drunk and disorderly,and wilfully
and maliciously destroying a large pane of plate
glass, the property of Mr. James Speight, the land-
lord of the King John beer-house, in the Mile-
end-road.
The prisoner came to the King John last night
at half-past 8 o'clock, and was very noisy and up-
roarious. He first asked after his Majesty, King
John, and on being assured he was very well,
asked him to_take a pot of beer with him. No one
accepted the invitation on the part of the King,
and he then called for a pot of beer for his ,6 own
cheek." The landlord refused to serve him, be-
cause he was drunk, and put him out of the house.
The door was closed upon the prisoner, who uttered
very disloyal sentiments relative to his Majesty of
the beer-house, and said he did not care for King
John, or King Jack, or all the monarchs in the
world. A large crowd assembled, and the
prisoner took up a stone and hurled it
at a sheet of embossed plate glass, which
was shattered to atoms. He was then given into
custody, on which he threw himself on the ground,
brought down a police constable with him, and flung
several others into the muddy road. They looked
anything but human when they recovered them-
selves. The prisoner looked as if he had been
soaked in a mud cart. He said he did not know
anything of the broken glass. He was too far gone
when the smash took place.
Mr. Paget said that it was not to be tolerated
that drunken, violent, and disorderly fellows like
the prisoner were to destroy tradesmen's property
with impunity. He sentenced him to pay £4, the
value of the glass, and a fine of ls , or be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for one month.

MURDER IN FINSBURY.

A shocking murder was committed this morning,
about five o'clock, at Bucker's Hotel, 1, Christo-
pher-street, Finsbury, the victim being a female who
is at present unknown. The police were called to the
hotel and told that one of the porters, named Jacob
Spinas, had murdered a female whom he had brought
into the house with him. Spinas, who was very much
the worse for liquor, was taken into custody. A
constable on proceeding to the kitchen found a
woman lying just inside the door dead. Her head
was battered in, her clothes were covered with blood,
and it was evident that she had struggled severely
before she met her death. The bedclothes were
also covered with blood. Under the bed was found
a brass candlestick, which was bent, and had on it
blood and hair. The prisoner and the unfortunate
woman had been drinking together. He was taken
to the Old-street police-station, When told the
charge he made no reply.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The Duke of Newcastle's bankruptcy was brought
again to-day before Lord Justice Giffard on the
motion on behalf of Mr. Morris. The Duke of
Newcastle had left the country, and the question
was, whether by removing himself from the juris-
diction of the Court he had actually become a bank-
rupt. Sir R. Palmer, Q.C., who appeared on be-
half of the Duke, applied for time to frame an
appeal from the decision of the Court to the House
of Lords. Due diligence had been used by the
Duke to carry out what had been required, but
this was not yet completed. His lordship granted
a fortnight's time.

ROLLS COURT,
THE ROYAL EXCHANGE BANK V.:HORNER.
His Honour delivered judgment in this case to-
day. It was a suit instituted by the directors of
the bank to compel the defendant to refund money
he had received. Two other persons, named Had-
dersley and Caldwell, were made parties to the
suit. Tie money was obtained for the transfer
of the business of the Estates Bank, under
the following circumstances :—His lordship con-
sidered that the transaction was of a very
deceptive description, and had not been sanctioned
by the shareholders of the exchange Bank. There
should be a reference to ascertain in what way
Horner was entitled to that which he received,
being greatly in excess of what he ought to have
received. He would not give the plaintiffs their
costs, because he did not think they had acted with
a due regard to the interests of the shareholders.
Ile would dismiss Messrs. Haddersley and Caldwell
from the suit.

RIFLES AND SAND-BAGS.

"One of the Crimean Light Division" writes to
the Pall Mall Gazette, expressing his belief that no
single sand-bag will protect a man from the bullet of
an Enfield rifle. He says he was ordered in Bul-
garia to fill with clay gabi ins of three feet diameter
to test the Minis; rifle of 1854. The bullet passed
through the loose clay. It was only rich heavy clay
trampled by feet that resisted the projectile,

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

The Toronto Globe maintains that what Canada
particularly wants is the occupation of her waste lands
by an industrious, thrifty, and intelligent population,
and that to secure this her Government should hold
out all reasonable inducements. It adds that the
Dominion has been an unknown land to the emigrating
masses, and expresses a hope that this indifference is
at an end. In Ontario alone millions of acres of
excellent land remain untaken.

OPENING OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES BY NIGHT.

A. correspondent writes to the Pall Mall Gazette
with reference to the openinc, of the British Museum

of St. GemSvieve, in Paris, which has been for
more than fifteen years open every night to all
comers from six to ten o'clock. He adds that at
Oxford the reading room in the Radcliffe Building
is opening of an evening until ten o'clock : and asks
if Oxford and Paris are thus privileged why should

IRISH RAILWAYS.

Some representatives of the South of Ireland lines
have been talking railway affairs over with the Lord
Lieutenant. They want railroad enterprise to be
encouraged by means of Government assistance in
obtaining loans, which might of course be raised on
better terms under the wing of the State. One gen-
tleman submitted to his Excellency that there,
was a-general lack of confidence in railways, notwith-
standing the benefit they had conferred upon the
country. The decision of the Legislature in making
railway bonds terminable was also very grievous. He
suggested the creation of a debenture fund for Irish
lines, which, he thought, could be done without
any risk to the Government. This would enable
those who wished to do so to exchange their terminable
bonds for permanent stock. The effect would be to
enable them to manage their lines better and give a small
dividend to the proprietors. Another representative
calculated that if the application was complied with, a
saving of £lOO,OOO a year interest would be effected.
They found it difficult, he said, to get their bonds
issued, and when they applied for money were met
with the question, "What is the Government going
to do with the Irish railways ?" The Lord-Lieutenant
had not, however, much encouragement to offer. The
deputation, he objected, had no specific scheme; but
if they would reduce their proposals to writing, he
would lay them before the Government.

TIM ROOT OF THE ➢'ATTER.

The Times' Commissioner devotes his twenty-
seventh, and what appears to be his last, letter, to a
general history of the land system in Ireland. his
main conclusion is that the chief grievances which
the population suffer, are of recent, not of remote,
origin, and hence the strength of the present dissatis-
faction. Whilst the course of centuries has developed
in England the large farm system with which the
law is in harmony, in Ireland the small farm system
has sprung up side by side with a law wholly anta-
gonistic to it. The settlement of land in the two
countries stands on entirely distinct foundations. The
leading present defect in the Irish land system, re-
garded upon the side of occupation—the general preva-
lence.of tenancies-at-will, co-existing with the large
claim of the I)easantry to an equitable interest in the
soil, and the insecurity and injustice thence resulting
—is comparatively of modern origin, and this, in a
certain degree, explains why, though the country has
greatly improved and many ills of the past have
vaniehed, discontent, widespread and deep-rooted,
still continues to fester in the hearts of the people.
From this starting-point, the Commissioner tells us,
the settlement of the difficulty must be sought ;
but unhappily this theorem is wide and vague, and
the authority who has occupied so many columns of
the Times does not conduct us any nearer the goal.

WESTMINSTER.

CAUTION TO BUTCHERS' MEN.--Frederick Hud-
son, assistant to Mr. Smith, butcher, of 36, Buck-
ingham Palace-road, was charged with stealing a
leg of mutton, value 9s. 30., the property of his
master.

Mr. Smith said the case was one of false booking,
an offence greatly carried on in the butchering
trade, in consequence of the masters not being able
or not having time to attend to long prosecutions
against their servants, and thus their employes
went from service to service and robbed their mas-
ters with impunity. The prisoner went last Mon-
day for orders, and called at Colonel Hall's, No.
12, Lower Belgraves-street. He came back and
ordered a leg and shoulder of mutton, delivered the
t
shoulder and kept the leg, which he sold at 9} 1. per
ib. lie left the service the same night. Mr. Smith
tri,de
inquiries at Colonel Hall's, and found that
.ithin the week he had falsely booked a shoulder of
mutton,
a leg, and loin, all of which he had dis-
posed of.

Prisoner slid the leg of mutton was ordered by
Colonel Hall's housekeeper, and when he .got it
there she did not want it, so he thought he'd dis-
pse of it and account for the money to his master.
lie, however, did not go back. With regard to
the leg of mutton he sold it to a man whom he
knew well as a butcher, but refused to divulge
who it was• _ _

Mr. Selfe said it was essentially necessary that
the housekeeper should attend, and for that pur-
pose he remanded the prisoner till Friday next, in
order that the depositions should be completed for
his committal for trial.

THE CHINESE TREATY.

A very influential meeting of London merchants
connected with the China trade has condemned the
treaty just concluded by Sir Rutherford Alcock. The
arrangement with respect to transit dues is
considered unsatisfactory. Under the Tien-
tsin treaty a transit duty of 2i per cent.
ad valorem was levied as a substitute for the
obnoxious inland or barrier dues which were exacted
on merchandise passi'ng to the interior. But these
barrier tolls are farmed out to individuals who, it
was soon found, continued to demand their levies just
as if no equivalent transit dues had been paid.
The new treaty proposes t 3 exact a customs duty
of 71 per cent., instead of 6 per cent., as hitherto, in
lieu of the transit dues. But will the impositions in
the interior cease with this arrangement P Will the
:lew treaty be respected any more than that of
Tien-tsin ? The London merchants think not. They
are of opinion? too, that the doubling of the export
duty on silk is a retrograde policy. Lastly, they
decide that the other provisions, whatever may be
their worth, do not counterbalance these two defects
of the treaty, which they hold ought not to be
ratified.

BARBARISM IN GLASGOW.

Glasgow is in a very unhealthy condition, in-
deed the mortality has of late been so high as to
cause serious alarm. It has been the subject
of anxious deliberation, we are told, on the part of
the authorities. And at length, it seems, this solici-
tude has borne fruit. A deptitation from the Police
Board of the city has been sent on a perambulatory
tour, it has visited Bristol and other towns for the
purpose of learning sanitary improvements, and
now its recommendations are published. A
formidable and curious list they are. Stair-
cases in buildings tenanted by the working classes
should have an opening at the roof, and the lobbies
should be ventilated. Every apartment ought to have
a means of ventilation beyond the control of the
inmates. Every dwelling ought to have a water
supply and conveniences. The courts ought to be
paved, so that no filth can accumulate. The police
should see that stairs and courts are kept clean.
There ought to be house-to-house inspection. Typhus
fever ought to be co :Matted with strong chemicals.
These recommendations are good, Lo doubt ; but their
perusal naturally involves the serious doubt whether
Glasgow be a residence for human beings or a den of
wild beasts. It seems that we have come to such a
pass that we must keep our fellow countrymen clean
by main force, and compel them to be healthy in
spite of themselves. Ventilation beyond the inmates
control!

TIOW TITE FEVER SPREADS.

Three cases recently occurring shew clearly hot,
epidemics are generated. The one incident took
place in the metropolis. In the neighbourhood of
"Whitechapel" a complaint was naade of the dangerous
state of a house next door to the Jews' Infant
School, in consequence of two children lying
there dead, and of fever being very bad
4' in the house." The house on inspection was
found to contain eight rooms, each occupied by
separate family. There were two children dead in.
the house, and. the smell in consequence was most
offensive. Nothing, however, could be done, as
there is no pubic mortuary for the district.
Another fact has been brought under
the notice of the Liverpool magistrates.
A man sold infected bedding, without the least pre-
caution, and he was fined 20s. Lastly, when the
fever broke out in the Sailors Orphan's Home, at
West Ham (near London), instead of sending those
not infected home, the 20 who were stricken were
disposed of in that way. Is it any wonder, with such
management, epidemics spread ?
VACCINATION.
The discussion on the merits of vaccination leads
the Pall Mall Gazette to very appropriately publish
the number of deaths from smallpox which
took place in the years 1802 and 1803,
when vaccination first came into use. In
the week ending November 2, 1802, before the
effects of the remedy had made themselves manifest,
the deaths were 72 ; next week they were
74 ; and so on averaging 70 or 80 up to
December 14, when they were 102. The
week after there was a fall to 50, and thenceforth the
mortality declined. In the week ending January 11.
it was 39 ; February 8, 30 ; March 15, 15; and for
months after it fluctuated between 10 and 15.

THE RELIGIOUS RELIEF OF THE POET LAUREATE.'

A. day or two since we noticed the criticism of the
ultra-Low Church Rock upon the Poet Laureate.
Mr. Tennyson was to the Rock a High
Church Sacramentarian who had embodied the
doctrine of Transubstantiation in a poem. The
High Church papers, however, will have none
of the poet or his philosophy. The Church Times
nearly succeeds in proving that he is an Atheist. It
is clear to our contemporary that he is a Pantheist.
Does not his " Higher Pantheism " prove it ? "Is
Ho not all, but thou that bath power to
feel I am I." " Mr. Tennyson, says the
Church Times, may cal this the Higher
Pantheism if he pleases ; but there is no
high or low in the matter. Unless we confess God
to be the All-Ruler, the maker of Heaven and Earth,
and of things visible and invisible, our faith is no more
than Deism, and Deism is, after all, worse than
idolatry—it is practically Atheism." The path of
our contemporary's logic is as smooth as could be.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, anp
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 128.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in

MR. LEATHAM, M.P., AT HUDDERSFIELD.
On Tuesday night Mr. Leatham, M.P., addressed his
constituents in the theatre at Huddersfield, the Mayor in
the chair. Speaking of the Russian question, Mr. Leatham
said no valid objection existed to the reconsideration of
the Treaty of 1856 ; but the manner in which the
modification had been demanded was most objec-
tionable. We were not, however, going to war
on account of the tone of a despatch, nor
because a great Power, professed to be civilised,
had shewn itself to be a bear. The foreign
affairs of this country were in the hands of a man who
knew how much dignity there was in forbearance,
and knew how to reply to Russian rulers. Let them
not forget we had been gradually, systematically,
and steadily withdrawing for many years back from every
purely Continental quarrel ; let them not forget
that the Empire of England was so vast that English
treasure and English valour have enough to do to defend
her almost boundless frontier. It would always be possible
to go to war for the honaur of the country and for the
safety of the empire ; but for such a purpose as the neu-
trality of the Black Sea, for such a purpose as the integrity
of Turkey, he would engage to say that it would never
again be possible to go to war in this country. Lord
Palmerston was no more, and between his Eastern policy
and the policy of the future there was a gulf fixed as
broad and as deep as that which separated life from
death. The Crimean war was fraught to this country
with loss of prestige, great loss of human life, great loss
of treasure, but against these disasters we might at least
set one benefit, and that was that it thoroughly opened
British eyes to the hopelessness and thanklessness of that
task, and the enormity of assisting in keeping a vast
Christian population in subjection to a horde of Mussul-
man barbarians.

THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD.

It is not impossible that the London elections to
a School Board, entered upon on Tuesday with so
much energy and interest, may be declared null and
voi 1. There is a clause in the new Education Act
which directs that the members of the School Board
in all the divisions of the metropolis shall be elected
in the same manner as vestrymen under the Metro-
polis Management Act. Now the latter measure
' makes it compulsory that the ratepayers should at
elections select their own inspectors of the votes.
This regulation, it is contended, applies to School
Board elections, and if so the bye-law was ignored
altogether on Tuesday, the inspectors having been
chosen by the deputy returning officers and without
any reference to the ratepayers. It would be de-
plorable it' all the labour and enthusiasm
spent on Tuesday should have to be repeated, and
again exerted by the electors and elected, especially
as there is every probability of Londoners being
satisfied, on the whole, with the candidates who
have been returned; nevertheless an omission in the
law would have its serious results if allowed
to pass unquestioned. No doubt is entertained in
some quarters that if the matter is brought under
the notice of the Court of Queen's Bench the ille-
gality of the elections will be established.

RESTORING TILE EMPIRE,

In a very serious article, the Times discusses the
probability of Count Bismarck attempting to set
Napoleon 111. again on the French Throne, and of
signing a peace with him. the position of the
Germans is very difficult. If they take Paris, it
does not follow that peace will be made; and
it may happen that France will be loft
utterly without a Government to make
peace with, In such a strait the Times
thinks it just possible that Count Bismarck may
resume his old notion—which he once certainly
entertained—of slipping out of his present position
and putting the Emperor in his place. "The Em-
peror cedes Strasburg and I\letz, and, accompanied
by his Marshals, puts himself at the head of the Im-
perial Guard, who are conveniently placed at
Mayence, and, reinforced by the 300)000 prisoners in
Germany, or by as many as may be trusted to sup-
port the Empire, relieves the German guard before
Paris, the German forces going home, except such
part as may be necessary to keep under the ceded
provinces." The Times urges some arguments which
may have weighed with the " high contracting parties;"
but itis obvious that though the Emperorrisks nothing,
Bismarck risks a good deal, by such a project.
Suppose the vast army of French prisoners, instead
of fighting their countrymen i❑ civil war, were to
make common cause with the armies of the Loire and
of Paris! Suppose the whole united host marche.l '
off to regain Alsace and Lorraine, that the Germans
had all their work to do again, and that the
Chancellor, instead of being the terror, became the
laughing stock of Europe ! Such may probably be
the result of the experiment.

WINTERING ON MOUNT WASHINGTON.-A. scie

--•-
tific expedition, with Professor Huntingden, Assistant
State geologist, at its head, is to pass the winter on the
summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, where
the velocity of the wind reached 70 miles an hour in one of
the storms of October. A room wherein the party are to
find shelter has been fitted up very comfortably. The
apartment is 20 feet long, by U feet wide, and about nine
feet high. Four or five thicknesses of various kinds of
materials cover the floor, and the walls are equally well
guarded, while two stoves, with 13 tons of coal, are to
furnish further means of warmth.

THE "NORTH DEVON SAVAGES."—One of the
notorious family existing at Nymet Rowland, North
Devon, has been again before the magistrates at South
Molton. The defendant, William Cheriton, was convicted
of assaulting a neighbour and fined. A local journal has
published no less than 48 convictions against
athe various
members of the family during the last few yrs. Now
that the winter has set in, the place of their abode—a
dilapidated barn, without windows or doors—presents a
most wretched appearance. Indeed, people passing it
would never imagine that cattle, much less human beings,
would ever be housed there.
