DESTRUCTION OF A CHAPEL BY FIRE. - Last
night a destructive fire broke out shortly after nine
o'clock in ti-- -4 school-room attached to Park Chapel,
situate in Gr,ve- street, Camden-town. The chapel,
which belongs to the Independents, was built in theyear
1844, and was ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Harrison.
Very soon after the discovery of the fire the root fell in
with a great crash, and the whole presented a mass of
flames. The engines were very tardy in their arrival,
and the supply of water was bad. By twelve o'clock
the fire was entirely subdued; little, however, being left
of the chapel but the walls. The cause of the calamity
is supposed to have been an escape of gas.
DRESSMAKERS AND MILLINERS' PROVIDENT IN..
STITUTION.— We observe that a meeting, having for its
object the establishment of an institution designed for
the relief of necessitous persons. whose dependence is
placed upon their employment in the arduous and pain-
ful task of dress-making Pnd millinery, is to take place
on Monday next. As there is no enterprise of a wore
benevolent character, calculated as it is to rescue thou-
sands of suffering and well disposed females from vice
and misery, we have no doubt that the call thus made
upon the best feelings of our nature will be liberally re-
sponded to, and that the noble and gentle ladies of the
metropolis will lead the way in promoting an undertak-
ing which mu-t produce such inestimable benefits to the
humbler classes of their own sex.
THE WESTERN GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—A meeting
of the inhabitants of &empties was last evening held in
the great room of this institution (which is in connexion
with King's College), in Aiexunder-square, where an
official statement from the committee was made as to the
objects, progress, and position of the establishment. The
chair was occupied by F. Godrich, Esq. Resolutions
were passed expressive of the hii.,h satisfaction which the
course of education adopted had given to the parents of
the pupils—of the great benefit which the establishment
conferred upon the inhabitants of the district—and of
thanks for the anxious superintendence bestowed upon
all the interests of the institutio❑ by the committee of
management.
MEETING AT NEWCA6ILE.-- A putlic :meeting,
convened by placard, was held on the Town Moor
at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Sunday last, to sympa-
thise with John Mitchel, and express its opintoa
on the reform movement. A large number of per-
sons assembled, but the proceedings were conducted
entirely by Chartist orators, by whom the meeting
had been got up. No attempt was made by the
authorities to prevent the gathering, as there seemed
no disposition on the part of the Chartist leaders to
disturb the peace of the town and district, as in other
parts of the country. Mr. William Boa occurisci the
chair. .
