ITIPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT.—VESSELS ON SHORE.
—The Templeman, Prowse master, of Liverpool, of 500
tons burden, wrecked in Ballyteigne Bay, the 10th ult.,
and considered at the time not worth the expense and
risk of getting off, was on Saturday morning towed into
the new pier of Kilmore, where she now lies in perfect
safety. This has been achieved by our respected towns-
man, Mr. Sparrow, under the directions of Captain
Mackey agent to the Liverpool underwriters. The plan
taken was o:, rzitir f.be vessel a watertight
chest that sustained her weight ; aad wes houl4 MN%
from our slight knowledge of such matters, that this
plan would be admirably adapted, and is by far the best
method yet devised that could be adopted to float the

CLE RKENWE L L.

George Hughie was charged with assaulting Isaac
Wheeldon, an officer of the County Court, and Joseph
Brocker, his assistant, while in the execution of a pro-
cess from that court, against Henry Baker.
From the evidence of the officer and his assistant, it
appeared that the prisoner and Baker resided 'together
at No. 7, Phillips's-buildings, Somers-town, where they
carried on business as pipe- manufacturers. Yester-
day evening the officer went to arrest Baker,
and upon entering the Hall, heard Mrs. Baker call out
" Make off, Harry, here are the bums," immediately
after which Hughie came up to them in the Hall, and
endeavoured to prevent them passing in, and struck
Wheeldon a violent blow, which bl -74
and also struck Brookes several times. They ttated
that they had repeatedly told Hughie th*-y were officers
of the County Court, but he still continued to strike at
them, until a policeman arrived, when he was given in'o
custody.
The prisoner, In his defence, denied that the complain.

CABINET COUNCIL.

A Cabinet Council was appointed to be held at
half-past two o'clock this afternoon, at the Foreign
Office, Downing street. All the Ministers were ex-
pected to attend, except Mr. LABOUCHERE, who is in
Dublin.

A lust of territorial aggrandisement is plunging
American affairs into the most deplorable involvement.
-Before the nationality of the citizens of the United
States had become well nigh established, before the
integral portions of that Republic had been consoli-
dated into a complete and flourishing dominion, in
the very dawning of its existence as an inde-
pendent nation, in the first development of its preco-
cious strength, the spirit of that youthful constitution
began to evidence a craving for a more extended
domination. Immediately after the states themselves
had emerged from the storms of battle they endea•
voured to perpetuate the calamities of warfare
in the western hemisphere by acts of the
most audacious aggression. Southwards their
frontiers were nullities. By insidious treaties,
by positive invasion, by diplomatic guile and
military intimidation, by juggling propositions and
illusory barterings, they have striven inces'antly to
encroach upon adjacent territories, and to swallow
them up in succession by an organized system of an-
Bexation. What perilled the stability, and ultimately
conduced to the dismemberment of the Roman em-
pire, even after centuries had imparted to it such con-
summate vigour, and notwithstanding that its power
lad become matured by the wisdom End persistence
of many generations, was the gradual widening of its
dominions, the progressive advancement of its
conquests, the unchecked indulgence of its
avarice of new geographical b3undaries. It
would be superfluous, however, to insist upon
the insufficiency of any solitary Government to sub-
ject an entire continent to its •sway. The moral de-
ducible from the narratives of AaxaN, of PLUTARCH,
4!I Cu;irms of TACITUS, of GIBBON, and of SISMONDI,
is notoriously coincident inß:thzilai:Nti3naertidcular. What
Macedoniannaties was
was manifested under the
manifested also under the sceptre of tlie3'
conqueror, under the rule of the great JuLuisd
the Carlovingian and Napoleonian empires. iluisntoer

Mania k c*ltut

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1846.

Very frequently permanent and extensive advan-
tages arise out of temporary and local inconvenience.
It is proverbial that the great fire of 1666, though
grievously calamitous to the then citzens of the Bri-
tish capital, has been productive of the most ines-
timable improvements. By that terrible visitation
multitudes were beggared and rendered house-
less, the mercantile transactions of the metropolis
were for a period in a state of ruinous stagnation,
and the scene of so many domestic comforts
and of so much civic prosperity remained for a
considerable time a chaos of smouldering rubble
and rafters. With these unquestionable miseries,
however, were associated a variety :of undoubted
benefits. By that conflagration the frightful scourge
by which the City had been decimated, and the hor-
rors of which have been recorded with so much of
terrible naturalness by DEFOE, was thoroughly era-
dicated ; the atmosphere, which had been poi-
soned by the plague, was thereby effectually purified;
the narrow ramifications of the thoroughfares, those
miserable and dilapidated bye-lanes which the insuffi-
cient drainage of generations had rendered so infec-
tious to their inhabitants, were utterly demolished;
and the beggarly wooden and antiquated 'tenements
which constituted London were exchanged for a more
salubrious and commodious arrangement of domiciles.
That gigantic calamity, of which the Monument is the
splendid and perpetual memento, was in reality the
forerunner and originator of the noblest benefactions
that have ever been conferred upon this vast metro-
polis. By it the appearance of London was beauti-
fied, and the salubrity of London ensured; by it,
moreover, the sanatory condition of millions of citi-
lens was materially advanced, and their cleanliness
and contentment rendered matters of possibility.
The same principle is observable in operation
not merely in an artificial :state of existence, but
throughout the domain of nature. Oat of apparent
evil frequently arises positive good. What was thus
beneficial on an enormous scale in the middle of the
seventeenth century, we are persuaded will be mani-
fested in the middle of the nineteenth century, on a
scale much more contracted, but locally of tantamount
importance.

In accordance with the decision which has been
long since and significantly pronounced by the
publicvrAlitcnipsteA- t:dge is to be completely
rooteciAlt e,f and a more convenient and
graceVOueturirefectOk in a more suitable locality.

CLERKENWkLL.-(THIS DAY.)

Henry Mayes was charged with assaulting Mr. J.
Lines, the proprietor of a coffee-house in High-street,
Camden-town, and also with inflicting serious injuries
upon police-constable 121 S.
It appeared that the prisoner entertained some previous
ill-will towards Mr. Lines, in consequence of his havingprevented him from smoking in the coffee-room, and
last night he knocked the complainant down as he stood
at his own door, and on the constable coming up and
attempting to take him into custody, he also assaulted him.
Mr. GREENWOOD sentenced the prisoner to a fine of
75., or five days imprisonment, for the assault on Mr.
Lines, and to one months' imprisonment and hard labonr,
without the alternative of a fine, for assaulting the
policeman.

Henry Wilmoit was placed at the bar, on the charge of
attempting to murder Harriet Haines, wife of a plumber
and glazier, residing in Paradise-terrace, Islington.
A number of wit,nesses were brought forward by the
police, to substantiate the charge, from whose evidence
it appeared that on Saturday last the prisoner went into
Mrs. Haines' house, for the purpose, it was surmised, of
getting some money on acconnt of a previous transaction
between Mr. Haines and him. A person named Gilbert,
who lodged next door, heard, soon after the prisoner was
seen to enter the house, a noise of struggling and blows,
which latter sere so violent and long continued, that he
was induced to go into the house to see what was the
matter, when he saw some person whom he could not
identify escaping by the back doer, and found Mrs.
Haines lying in a state of insensibility in the hall, with
her face covered with blood, and several severe wounds
in her head. On searching the premises after-
wards, a large metal candlestick *was found, with
which the woman had apparently been wounded,
as it was all, covered over with blood and a quantity of
hair sticking to it. A hat was also found in the drawing•
room, which it was afterwards discovered belonged to
the prisoner, upon which he was taken into custody,
when several spots of blood were observed upon his
trowsers and waistcoat. Mrs. Haines was taken as
speedily as possible to Bartholomew's Hospital, whore
she now lies with but little hopes of her recovery. No
ostensible motive could be assigned for the savage and
bloodthirsty act, as the prisoner and Mrs. Haines and
her husband were on the most intimate terms, and he
was in the habit of visiting them almost every day.
Mr. GREENWOOD ordered-the prisoner to be remanded
for a week, and desired the policeman to watch the state
of the wounded female at the hospital, and if any altera-
tion for the worse took place, so as to induce a fear of
her death, to let him know of it, and Ile would proceed
to the hospital to take her deposition.

—The Templeman, Prowse master, of Liverpool, of 500
tons burden, wrecked in Ballyteigne Bay, the 10th ult.,

risk of getting off, was on Saturday morning towed into
the new pier of Kilmore, where she now lies in perfect
safety. This has been achieved by our respected towns-
man, Mr. Sparrow, under the directions of Captain
Maelrev agent to the Liverpool underwriters. The plan

(LEFT SPEAKING.)

Mr. nusfield Ferrand, M.P., who seems to be deter-
mine., that the good. people of the West Riding shall not
wa:at amusement, held a Protection meeting at Huddersfield,
on Saturday last, whicre he repeated his one speech, which
serves alike for the Rouse of Commons and for all meetings
of every sort and description. About 3,000 persons assem-
bled in the Philosophical Hall, and Mr. Robinson, a free-
trader, was elected to the chair in opposition to Mr. Ferrand's
friend, Mr. Joshua Hobson. There was a great deal of con-
fusion and uproar—tlbe word" calumniator' ;was made use of,
and reference was made to the resolution now standing on
the journals of the A ouse of Commons in reference to the
Hon. Member for Kraresborough,
who, after having con-
cluded his speech, took his departure amidst the most discor-
dant groans and hisses.. Three cheers were given for Cobden
and Bright, and three more for Peel and free-trade, and the
meeting dispersed.
The Earl and Countess of Haddington received a select
party at dinner, on Saturday last, at the Admiralty. We
hear that the Noble Earl and Countess will not remove from
the Admiralty to 'their mansion in Berkeley-square before
the close of next month, when the Earl of E!lenborough is
to take pos.ses3ion of the official residence of the First Lord of
the Admiralty.

LOSS OF LIFE.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AND

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, HALF-PAST THREE O'CL
—This morning, at about a quarter to twelve, a large
corn warehouse, the prot'erty of Mr. John Tipping, and
occupied by Messrs. Steele and Co., corn-merchants,
suddenly fell with a tremendous crash, burying a num-
ber of men who were at work in the building in the
ruins. Fortunately, the greater portion of the men were
at the north end of the building, which did not fall im-
m, diately, and they escaped by jumping from the third
story into the street. Eight or ten are yet missing. It
appears from the statement of one that escaped that he
heard a tremendous noise, and looking up he saw the
beams brelking, and the south end of the building fall.
He turned hastily round, more dead than alive with fear,
and jumped headlong into the street. The street into
which the ruins fell is completely choked, and as it had
been all the morning crowed with teams and waggons
employed in the corn trade, it is exceedingly probable
that some of them have been destroyed. Indeed, it is
currently reported and believed, that a cart with two
horses and two men who were unloading there a short
time before are beneath the immense pile of ruins.
" The Mayor, Mr. Dowling, Mr. S. Holme, a first-
rate practical enginer, and a strong body of police were
quickly on the spot ; gangs of men have been set to
work, and they are now actively engaged in searching
for the bodies of those who it is feared are killed ; but as
they were in the lower stories they have not yet reached
them.

" The building, which was very old, seems to have
been very badly constructed, and to have been held up
by those on either side. It was seven stories high, and
heavily loaded with wheat, barley, peas, and barrels of
American flour.

" An excavation has just been commenced to reach
the underground story, where, it is believed, several
men were at work.

" The devoted building was situated in Moor-street,
near St. George's Church, in a very narrow thorough-
fare, and a more complete wreck was never witnessed.
The front wall fell witk great force against the salt fish
warehouse of Mr. Mendsell, but fortunately did no
damage beyond breaking ail the windows, and covering
every article within ite walls with dust and flour. A
gentleman who was writing near one of the windows had
a very narrow escape. _ _

" At this moment, as I am closing the parcel for the
express train, the body of one of the workmen has been
dug out in a dreadfully mangled state. The workmen
are redoubling their exertions, and great excitement
prevails, as it is anticipated others are near at hand."

DOLMAYS MAGAZINE.

The Anecdotes of Louis XVIIL are concluded in this
number, and albeit the writer is evidently one of the old
regime who would fain exalt Louis into a-hero, y et the facts
recorded by the King himself prove that he was un-
principled, selfish, cunning, and low. minded. In an in-
terview with the Emperor Alexander, at Mittau; in
1806, the Emperor said to him, " If God should prosper
my arms, my ct.ief satisfaction will be to reconduct your
Maj sty to France," to which Louis, who only a shot
time bi,fore had written to Bonaparte, " I burn with
impatience to restore peace to my people," rerlies, " Mine
will consist in entering France under your auspices ; I
hope everything from the bravery of your troops :" and
yet on his return to France in 1814, in his very first
interview with Talleyrand at ,Compeigne, he says, " I
am anxious to be rid of the Allies." In the following
passage of his journal he describes his sensations on
hearing of his restoration:—
" It were vain for me to attempt the expression of all that
passed within me when my return to France was really de-
cided upon. I can well understand the joy which a mere
citizen must experience at finding himself freed from politi-
cal ostracism, how far more intense, then, the feelings of an
exiled and proscribed-king, who reascenes the noblest throne
in the world; my transports of joy, which the due main •
tainance of my dignity compelled me to restrain, were of
such a nature, that in despite of all my philosophy, I could
not but fancy that a monarch must be a being of a somewhat
different order from a mere mortal. In short, for several
days I was enabled to put faith in the proverbial expression,
happy as a king!'"

Surely such a mind was incapable of great ideas. It
was the joy of a child over a new toy. Throughout his
whole► career he hated and feared Louis Philippe, and if
th,t re:►tly great man steered his course in safety through
the perils of the Restoration, it was not because ever), en-
deavour was not made, every intrigue was not resorted to
to ensure his ruin. The interesting novel cf " The Coun-
tess Clemence" is continued, and Mr. Miles Gerald
Keon commences a tale entitled " The Catholic Man of
Letters in London," which promise's to be a severe casti-
gation of the new generation. A certain Reginald
Rupert is the hero of the ta'e :
"His ancestors had been Catholics ever. They flourished
before Protestantism had a name, and scorned to belong to a
church as ephemeral and more upstart than their own hou-e.
The mighty religion that could boast of a pedigree more an-
cient than theirs, commanded the deep loyalty of their fer-
vent veneration, apart irom other cons►derations of intellec-
tual conviction, such as are not afforded by human churches,
by national churches, by whimsical chuches."
This peAsage is a curious illustration of the spirit
of Catholicity. Love of aristocratical domination is per-
haps the real cause of many of the recent co :versions
to that faith.

THE UNION.

This, the second number of this new candidate for
public favour, is an improvement on its predecessor.
Equal to it in variety, it is superior to it in the character
of its pap vs. The first paper—" Shall Warren Has-
tings have a statue?"--is a well-written, but somewhat
unjustly-severe critique on the Indian Government of
that (with all his faults) great man. The writer decides
that he is unworthy of a statue because he engaged in
the Rohilla war; but if the being engaged in an unjust
war is to be deemed a sufficient plea for depriving an
otherwise great man of a statue, we fear that the whole
scheme of adorning the Houses of Parliament with
statues must be abandoned. AU the crusaders would be
