DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

This morning between one and two o'clock, a most
lamentable destruction of property by fire took place at
Canaberw(ll-green. The disaster originated at an empty
house next: to Fleming's Ale Brewery, the flames from
which, from the short supily of water, spread with such
rapidity that in less than half-an-hour the brewery and
other buikiigs had ignited. Not a moment ;was lost in
dispatching messengers to town for the assistance of fire-
men and engines, and by two o'clock several of the bri-
gade, the West of Eugland, and County-Offices had ar-
rived, but, unfortunately, only four engines could be sup-
plied with water, and the consequence was that Mr.
Illmaing'a brewery was also entirely consumed, the house
also in which the fire originated, the stables of Mr.
Beanch, a corn•chandler, and two valuable horses, were
lost, and serious damage to several other dwellings ad-
Joining. By six o'clock the fire had subsided, and the
following particulars of loss and damage was obtained
from Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the South Brigade
Estahlishment.
1.088E5 ON CAMBERWELL-GREEN.—The house of Mr.
Green—lower part occupied as offices, next to Fleming's
brewery, totally destroyed. The house of Mr. Donnett,
like damage. The brewery and counting-house of Mr.

-fishmonger, damaged furniture, &c., by removal. No.
22, Mr. Branch, cornchandler, granary, two stables, and

" have not been able to ascertain tbo result.—North

LOVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this gulden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that 'men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It Is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beysid measure deplorable) Loving` and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
anal:eyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
dullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
last night]:—
In the course of the discussion on the decree
appointing the 10th December as the day for the
Presidential election, Count Mold said that he had
been told that if the decree should not pass the
Ministry would retire ; he added, that for his part he
thought that the Cabinet would not refuse to add a
service more to the important services it had already
rendered. It was bound to assist the Assembly, and
should have the courage to continue in office until it
had completed the Constitution.
General Cavaignac, President of the Council, who
followed, began by protesting against an expression
of M. Mole, who had said that the Cabinet
threatened to retire. It had, he said, held out no
such menace, and the Assembly and country would
render him the justice to say that he had not imposed
any conditions for his services. He was neither an
ambitious man nor a traitor. 'Whatever might be the
decision of the Assembly, he and his colleagues. would
not make it a Cabinet question. If they considered
their continuance in office useful to the interests
of the Republic, they would retain their func-
tions ; if hot, they would not hesitate to re-
sign them without exposing themselves to the charge
of desertion. They were influenced by no sordid
attachment for power, they were animated by a
sincere love of their country and a sincere devotedness
to the Republic. It was they who had recommended
a prompt appeal to the country, because they con-
sidered the adjournment of the question of the Pre-
sidency an immense danger for the Republic.

ITALY.

The affairs of Italy bear a much more satisfactory
aspect than they have borne since the commencement
of March. RADETSKY, it is said, has, through the
mediatio❑ of England and France, concluded a treaty
of peace with CHARLES ALERRT, which only awaits
the ratification of the Emperor of A USTRIA to be imme-
diately carried into effect; and that this ratification will
be at once given there can be little doubt, inasmuch
as (according to the Concetrdia) the Austrian Am-
bassador in Paris is authorised to ratify all that the
mediating Powers shall decide on the subject of
Italy. In Tuscany the Ministerial crisis still con-
tinues. The GRAND DUKE continues firmly opposed
to the appointment of GUMS AZLE as Minister, and
should the appointment be forced upon him, he will,
it is said, retire to Elba.

There is also every reason to hope that the media-
tion of England and France will effect a satisfactory
settlement of the differences between Naples
and Sicily. The terms proposed are the re•esta-
tablishment of the Sicilian Constitution of 1812,
under the guarantee of England and France, and an
independent Sicilian Legislature, with either the
Bing of Nei-Las or his son as Sovereign. The Go-
vernment of Palermo and that of Naples seemed both
inclined to accede to the terms.

The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies of Sar-
dinia on the mediation offered by Great Britain and
Franca terminated at two o'clock on the 22d. An
amendment of M. BROFFERIO, who had opposed the
mediation, and maintained that Italy should in pre-
ference look up to the triumph of German democracy
for her emancipation, was rejected by 122 to 13, and
the Assembly afterwards granted the Cabinet a vote
of confidence by 77 to 53.

The directors of the London and North-Western
Railway Company have indeed redeemed their pl.-,age
by affording a full, complete, and satisfactory account
of their present position, pointing out clearly and
distinctly the amount of their expenditure and lia-
bilities, together with a liberal estimate for the
further outlay that may be required, and also a view
of the future prospects of the company, showing the
amount of traffic that will be required to keep up
the present dividend of 7 per cent. per annum on the
capital stock of the company. Much has been an-
ticipated from the publication of this most im-
portant document. Those who still retained confi-
dence in the honour and integrity of public men of
well-known character believed the assurances

WHITE V. BEIGGS.-JUDGMENT.

The Loan CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in
this case, varying, in some respects, the decision of
the Court below.

WARE V. ROWLAND •-JUDGMENT.

The L ORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in
this case, which came before the Court upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England.
The question in this case turned upon the construc-
tion of the will of a gentleman named Slater, of
Hampstead. That gentleman by his will, dated, in
1806, two years before his death, gave to trustees so
much of his personalty, to be invested in the Five
per Cent. Annuities, as would bring a yearly income
of 6001., which he directed should be paid to his wife
for life, and after her death, to his dear daughter,
Anna Maria Slater, and after her death to be divided
among her children. But if she left no children, or if
they died under 24 years of age, then he bequeathed
two sums of 5001. each to his two grandchildren,
if they should be then alive ; " and all the
rest and residue of the trust moneys, with interest,
increase, and dividends, he gave and bequeathed
among his heirs-at-law, share and share alike." The
testator died in 1808, leaving at his death his wife
and one child, the daughter, surviving, who also sur-
vived the widow, and died in October, 1844. She
left two sons living, who were co-heirs of herself and
also of the testator. On the death of the testator a
sum of 20,000/. was invested, and the interest regu-
larly paid during the life of the widow and daughter.
On the case coming on for hearing before .the
Vice-Chancellor of England, the great question
was as to the construction to be put on the
word " heirs." For the heir-at-law it was con-
tended that the word must be understood strictly,
and that consequently the bequest was to the heirs at
law of the testator at the time of his death as desig-
natze persona. It was contended also, contra, that
the word heirs was understood to mean no more than
next of kin of the testator, the gift being of personalty.
Some, on the other hand, sought to interpret the gift
as to the next of kin of the testator, excluding the
daughter, while other claimants understood it to mean
the next of kin of the daughter. There was also
difference of opinion as to the time referred to, whether
the proper period of construction was at the death of
the daughter or of the testator. The Vice-Chancellor
thought that the testator meant his heirs at law at
the time of his death as designates porsonto, otherwise
the will would be void for uncertainty, and
decreed accordingly, and from that decision the
parties appealed. His Lordship was of opinion the
decision of the Court below was correct, and dismissed
the appeal with costs.
