INCIDENTS, &c., OF THE RECENT CALAMITY.
kht appears that Lieut. Hamilton, of the 14th Regiment,
perished in the flames, had attended the exhibition in
map,.
FanY with Miss Ray, his betrothed bride, and her sister ;
Athe flames broke out, he succeeded in getting the sister
ihaafety from the building, and returned to seek his intended,
en both of them thus miserably perished.
44Lieut. Armstrong, of the same regiment, saved himself by
to eaPerate exertion of personal strength, having sprung up
a a window, the situation of which he knew and forced out
• klittae of glass, by which he obtained fresh' air, and ulti-
'aly succeeded in forcing his way through the window,

ELECTION ivio YEMEN TS.
DEVONPORT.
4RETURN OF S!R GEORGE GREY, BART.
‘ip"lo notoination took placegat eleven o'clock on F,iday
ti front of the Town Hall. The only candidate was
~PAGrey' who is in high favour here, both for his
le4 r manners, and his political sentiments. There
kekt, capital attendance from Stonehouse, and the as-
Th'ilge of burgesses was very numerous.
e Mayor, Walter P. Blsckmore, Esq., presided,
ethe usual formalities having been gone through,
ki' TRIPE, Esq., rose, and said he had great pleasure
liitgratification in rising to propose the re-election of
%dr orge Grey, both on account of his great talents
high moral worth—from his close affinity in blood
el.t_name which would ever be held dear by Englishmen
01 also because he had always interested himself in
ibpoting the moral and physical welfare of the people ;
etabove all, because he bad been selected to fill the
't&titcl important office of Secretary of State.
C.
lion, and tag.EN., of Stonehouse, seconded. the mo-
re being no other candidate the Right Hon.
Uaronekt was declared to be duly elected.
ttbSir G. GREY then returned thanks for the honour
y had conferred upon him for the sixth time. He was
1171.flore gratified because that confidence was reposed
'?lna after a long trial. It was their duty indirectly
PO
ite Influence the Legislature of the country by sending
jresentatives to act in their behalf. After having
gv:rted in pleasing terms to his connexion with Devon-
rl
over since its enfranchisement, the Right Hon.
sit„r "et proceeded to describe the course of events ever
141, 1841, with reference to the question of free trade,
to the gratification which he had derived in giving
te,Pert to Sir Robert Peel in his free trade measures.
kt; rejoiced to see that the greatest unanimity prevailed
ItZlgat them, and he hoped that unanimity arose not
bt; the accident of the absence of a candidate, hut
close there was far more unanimity of opinion as to
hi,,,ffects of free trade upon thinking; men than pre-
din 1841. Those principles were then dleapproved
14_4M he was opposed by an honourable candidate,
ttother-in-law of the Prime Minister ; and he well
ivitetabered, that his friends approached those hustings
tthltt large loaf and a small one—the large loaf
kgesenting, as it was said, the effects of protection,
CI, the small loaf was a specimen of what they were
Tilts under the operations of free-trade.—(Laughter.)
that
delusion hia vanished, and when they sent him on
Litt occasion to oppose the Government whieh was to
,17 formed, and which was formed, he little anticipated
ii"lttr before he should have to appear before them again,
should have become one of the most zealous and
Nations supporters of Sir Robert Peel, in his commer-
ttittl policy.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet then,
)some length, referred to the manner iu which Sir
17iAert Peel had effected those great changes, paying
h,rltoore than a passing tribute of praise for the course
tt;,",tld taken, and cordially joining him in his wishes
"vi these m;sasures had passed there would be no
3oslee, irritating discussion 9, and that the cause of
dinwsY and contention between those employed in the
ty.lles:(l4 branches of industry having been removed,
tion. 41:4eusions will no longer prevail. The Right
and his utienian did not advert to any other question,
of the , 'Peed, in reference to the commercial legOation
Which teftte Ministry was substantially the same as that
At ,k 'Made the previous evening.
'"e close, three cheers were given for the Right
to IL; iaaronet ; after which a vote of thanks was passed
