AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT
SOHAM.
(Abridged from the Cambridge Chy ()nick.)
About lair-past one o'clock yesterdsv morning the townof Soham was again aroused by the dreadful cry of We'
which commenced on the premises of Mrs. Peachey, widoWl
in Hall-street, and near the spot where two other fires bac°
happened within the last fortnight. We have not time to
state full particulars, having now left the spot where the
fire is still raging, although somewhat abated. The follow'
ing will give a brief sketch of the extent of this awful e3A".
!amity. Thirteen houses have been burned to the ground'
viz., the Globe public-house;. house at the back, in the °WI'
pat ion of William King, shoemaker •, shop, &c., of lar
Robert Caen, wheelwright ; house. &c., of Mr. Edward
Mune, blacksmith ; house, shop, and goods of Mr. Ilat,
vey, grocer and draper; louse, &c., of Mr. Hicks, carp,,„
enr,
ter; the whole of the extensive farming premises of ft-1„
Edward Staples, t )gether with a newly-erected mill of 1011;
stones; the house, &c., of Job Myson, wheelwright;
house and shop of Mr. Horsley, blacksmith; the house, °'"j
of Robert Ginn, shoemaker; all the extensive premises 01
farm-buildings (with the exception of the dwelling- hoes?,
of Mrs. John Malden; house and premises of Mrs. $3ll
Peachey ; Mr. John Pettit, &c. &c. ct
There can be no doubt but that this is the diabolical ,-- A
of incendiarism, as it evidently broke out in Yari°'to
places at the same time.
But for the active and persevering efforts of the SI. 11„,$;
bitants of the town generally, one end of the town Ow.
have been a complete ruin.
Of course it is impossible to estimate accttrater o,e
amount of damage done by this shocking occurrence, 21,,
t of
apprehend it cannot be less than 5,0004 nearly the wholeol
which is insured in the Suffolk, and some in the Noret'
Union Office.
calr
The number of persona rendered homeless by this
miry is 79, and the condition of some of them is very depioip
able. But they will be cared for by their neighlloo
the best way that circumstances will allow.

MR. COBDEN, M.P.
The following address has been sent by Mr. Cobden to th.
electors of Stockport.

TO THE ELECTORS OF STOCKPORT. 0,
Gentlemen,—The state of my health, and other prlvate eOO,
siderations, induce me to seek a temporary withdrawal if°o
public life. With this 'view, I have obtained leave,
absence from Parliament ,fbr the remainder of the sess'gr-
and it is my intention, after making the necessary grill;
ments for leaving home, to go abroad for a twelvetnentlhe
I, therefore, most respectfully beg to be considered ;
enjoyment of the privileges and immunities of private 11:e
at the same time, I feel it my duty to place my seat at,
f.ee di-pcsal in case a dissolution should occur during I.—
abseLce from England.
Allow me to take the present opportunity of,
pressing the grateful sense I entertain of the cono4
fence and kindness with which you have hoa°ll,fiof
me. To your favour alone have I been indebted f
the opportunity of advocating, however huiriblS, ti
the British Legislature, the now happily triumPhtle
principles of free trade. I thank all and each of you for
to
considerate forbearance with which you have allowed Ito
devote myself uninterruptedly to one absorbing allett—old
and assuring you how deeply I regret that a necessity to'
oit
arise for suspending my connexion with your iraP°rt
borough,

I have the honour be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
