BRITISH AND FOREIGN CLUB.—This new establish-
ment, attached to the Institute in George-street, Hanover-
square, was opened by a house dinner to its members on
Monday evening. Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell was in the
chair, supported by Lord Dudley Stuart, Sir Benjamin
Smith, Mr. Buckingham, and a large party of gentlemen.
The dinner and wines were served under the direction of
Mr. Bacon, and were of first-rate excellence. Many
animated speeches were delivered, and several songs, duets,
and glees were sung by Mr. Lee and his fellow-choristers of
the Temple. The entertainment was of a most agreeable
character, and formed an auspicious opening for the club.
THE PRINCE Louis NAPOLEON.—The death of the
ex. King of Holland has greatly affected Prince Louis Napo-
leon, who has, since his escape, been refused permission to
visit his venerable father. The Prince, it will be re-
membered, applied to the French Government for permission
to visit his father, and promised to return to his confinement
after performing this filial duty. This request was refused,
and on his escape Prince Louis wrote to Prince Metternich
for permission to visit Florence, and pledged his word in no
way to interfere in politics, but no answer was returned
from the Austrian diplomatist. A similar application was
made to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and refused, princi-
pally, it is stated, through the representations of the French
Government. This latter request was even limited to a visit
of twenty-four hours.
FIRE AT THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—DUBLIN, AUG. 4.
About one o'clock this morning the roof of this fine struc-
ture was discovered to be on fire, caused, it is understood, by
the negligence of some plumbers, who had been at work
during the day. The alarm was promptly given, and a
number of engines being speedily set to work, in the most
effective manner, by parties of the Nth Regiment, from
Ship-street Barracks, the fire was got under before four o'cicck,
not withcut doing considerable damage to the roof and the
lecture-room of the Mechanics' Institute. In the vaults of
the building are stored several thousand hogsheads of whiskey
in bond, and, had the conflagration extended to the spirits,
the consequences must have been most disastrous, as the
vaults run under the houses in Parliament-street, Dame-
street, and the Lower Castle-yard. The inhabitants of the
neighbourhood, aware of their dangerous proximity to the
inflammable materials, were kept In a state of dreadful sus-
pense while the fire lasted.
FALLING OF THE MAIN SEWER IN REGENT• STREET.
Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, It was discovered that a
large portion, nearly twenty feet, of the main sewer had
fallen in, near Foubert's-place, Regent-street, flooding the
basements of the neighbouring houses. Workmen were
immediately employed to effect the necessary repairs, and
every precaution adopted to prevent accident.
It is with much pleasure we observe that a committee
has been formed at Rochdale, for the purpose of presenting a
testimonial to Mr. Bright. His fellow-townsmen bear wit-
ness to the sacrifices he has made, the unwearied devotion he
has manifested, the untiring energy with which he has la-
boured in the cause of free trade. It will be seen by an ad-
vertisement in our columns of to-day, that a committee has
been formed in London to co-operate with the Rochdale com-
mittee, to whom subscriptions iney be paid, and we hope
that all persons who pTo'oas the principles of free trade
will come forward and add their names to the Sl,l4sCription
