EXTENSIVE Ftaa.l
(Tins DAY.)--NARROW Es-
CAPE OF TEN PERSONS.—A few minutes before three
o'clock this morning police constable 126 E, while on
duty in King-street, Holborn, discovered the lower part
of the Angel and Trumpet public- house on fire. He in-
stantly sprung his rattle, assistance was obtained, and no
time lost in sending for the Brigade and West of Eng-
land engines, which shortly arrived, before which the
Royal Society fire.eseape had been the means of rescuing
the family from the upper windows. Fortunately on the
arrival of the engines a good supply of water was ob-
tained, and the flames were subdued, but not until the
bar, bar-parlour, and the stock of the house were de-
stroyed. Mr. Cohan, the landlord, could not account for
the fire, but he is amply insured in the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Company. But for the timely assistance ren-
dered the inmates must have perished, such was the dif-
ficulty of escape.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean commenced a short
engagement at the Brighton Theatre on Monday last, in

crowded to excess. Mr. Kean will appear as Hamlet on

now and Prince Metternich.

MOSEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. •
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales 5,000 bales, of which 4,500 were American at 34d.
to 6d.—ln Railway Shares there was very little done,
and prices were almost invariably on the decline.
The accounts received from the continent this morn-
ing state that business was dull in various places, but at
Marseilles there had been some activity in sugar and
similar products. At Amsterdam the exchange on
London was 11 19.
Accounts from Dutch East India, dated Batavia, the
26th of July, advise us of all being quiet there, though it
renewal of the war was expected.
It is stated to us that " The advices from Cunac, both ,
public and private, still continue to narrate the unset-
tled state of things commercial and social. The
Government, if such a term can with propriety be
applied to the gehtlemen now holding office, and
swaying the destiny of this most important and valu-
able portion of the British possessions, seemed deter-
mined not only to carry extraordinary measures, and
exhibit utter incapacity to conduct public business, but
are resolved to convince the Governor-General that he
is not to play first fiddle, but to moderate his tone
and pretensions to a very low key, and one
degrading to the representative of our Lady
the Queen, who would most indignantly de-
nounce a Minister daring to express a Nish that her
Majesty should violate a written promise. But it ap-
pears by a correspondence published in the Montreal
Gazttle, of the 2d instant, that Lord Elgin has shown
such a want of firmness, and of the dignity due not only
to his high position but to himself as a gentleman, that
he has, at the instance of his constitutional advisers, with-
drawn a 'w ritten appointment without a shadow of
grounds. It appears that on the 10th January, 1848, E. A.
Meredith, assistant-secretary, wrote an official letter to
Mr. P. Stewart, appointing him Sheriff of the Eustace dis-
trict, to which situation he was highly recommended by
all the influential persons of the country, to whom his
qualifications and fitness for the appointment were
known, as he had discharged the duty of Deputy-Sheriff
for many years. The appointment is accepted; he gives
the necessary bonds and securities, enters upon his
duties; but what follows? On the 21st of March he re-
ceives a letter from Mr. Sullivan, the Provincial Secretary,
cancelling the appointment, and stating, lam com-
manded by his Excellency to inform you that, under
present circumstances, his Excellency has come to the
conclusion that the public service requires the appoint-
ment of another gentleman, instead of yourself, to the
office in question.
g• In another letter from the secretary (for the corre•
spondence is very long) he states " that nothing dero-
gatory to your character was the cause of the
change in the appointment." It appears that the
appointment was cancelled without reason, to make
room for the friend of one of the Ministers !
It is quite evident, from the present state of things,
that a man of more stern mettle must succeed Lord El-
gin, and that quickly. Commercial affairs are bad, and
political excitement is on the increase."
These are the sentiments of a private writer, and as
such we give them.
The determination of the Bank of England proprie-
tary not to divide more than the current profits was
announced yesterday afternoon after the ballot, and
gives satisfaction generally, although the question of
the " Rest" will, no doubt, be hereafter mooted,
The dullness of business in Public Securities has at
length produced an impression, and prices are lower.
