At a meeting of the Town Council on Thursday, the
Mayor in the chair, the Town Clerk read Dr. Griffin's
notice of motion in reference to Mr. Smith O'Brien.

The MAYOR then read a letter from Dr. Griffin, from
which the following is an extract :

"My dear Mr. Mayor,—As I cannot to-day be present
at the meeting of the Town Council, will you have the
goodness to say that I withdraw the resolutions r lative
to the secession of Mr. IV. S. O'Brien, of which I gave
fif ttice. I asli,pt this course at the instance of Mr.
O'Brien himself, who, the first momrnt he saw the re-
solutions, wrote to me on the subject, suggesting that my
perseverance in moving them might, perhaps, create
division in the council, and so tend to injure the cause
of repeal. He at the same time acknowledged that they
faithfully represented his sentiments, and therefore that
he could not question their truth."

FAILURE OF THE ONION CROP--Around Bicester
onions are very scarce, and consequently dear; the crops
are thin, and many of them are found to be diseased.—
Oxford Chronicle.
Several statements have appeared in the journals
containing dPplorable accounts of the health of Madile.
Rachtl, and of her retirement from the Francais for a
year, to enable her to pass that period in Italy. Un-
fortunately the health of the young tragedian has suf.
feted severely, but it is hoped that a few months of
absclute repose, and a quiet sojourn in the neighbour-
hood of Paris, will effect its restoration without report-
ing to the other side of the Alps. Should these hopes
be realised, Madlle. Rachel will resume her place at the
Francais in December.—Galignani.

This table is not only suitable to those who, from the prospect of
an increasing income, or other circumstances, prefer paying a smaller
sum during the first few years, but is also decidedly the b_gst mode
of insuring with the view of securing the repOment 6f Miporary
loans. It is preferable to a period policy, as it may be continued to
the end of life, without requiring new certificates of health or Incur-
ring a higher rate of premium.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE

The performances, last night at this p3pular place of
entertainment were marked by the appearance of
Mr. Charles Kemble Mason, in the arduous character
of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. This gentleman is
the nephew of Mr. Charles Kemble, and is the last of
that family. After having been about fourteen
years in the United States of America, where he has
earned considerable renown as a successful repre-
sentator of the principal characters of Shakspere, he
has returned to this country, and exhibited in his first
performance on a London stage the command of
dramatic powers which admirably fit him to grapple
with the difficulties of this, the most stupendous con-
ception of our immortal ard. It was manifest that
close study of the character had in hand its proper
effect in " suiting the word to the action—the action
to the word." The interviews with the Ghost and
the soliloquy in the grave-yard were admirable pieces
of acting, and the fencing scene with Laertes were
gone through in true fencing grace. Mrs. Honner
performed Ojhelia very pleasingly. At the conclusion
of the piece Mr. Mason was loudly called for, and
announced the piece for repetition amidst loud
applause.

of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark This gentleman is
the nephew of Mr. Charles Kemble, and is the last of
that family. After having been ,about fourteen
years in the United States of America, where he has
earned considerable renown as a successful repre-
sentator of the principal characteis of Shakspere, he
has returned to this country, and exhibited in his first
performance on a London stage the .command of
dramatic powers which admirably fit him to grapple
with the difficulties of this, the most stupendous con-
ception of our immortal Card. It was manifest that
close study of the character had in hand its proper
effect in " suiting the word to the action— the action
to the word." The interviews with the Ghost and
the soliloquy in the grave-yard were admirable pieces
of acting, and the fencing scene with Laertes were
gone through in true fencing grace. Mrs. Honner
performed Ophelia very pleasingly. At the conclusion
of the piece Mr. Mason was loudly called for, and
announced the piece for repetition amidst loud
applause.

THE RAILWAY PIONEER.

- - • ---
The claims of Thomas Gray, the far-seeing projector
of that magnificent system which is now bringing into
close communication the most remote parts of theking-
doin, are daily gaining on public attention. •
In the Railway Jiword of last SAturilay appears the
first of a series of articles entitled "memorial of Thomas
Gray, the pioneer of the railway system," and intended
to set forth the special and peculiar claims which Mr.
Gray has on the railway world. We give the following
extract:—" In the short space of nineteen years—dating
from the first-fruits of the new system in the incorpora•
(ion of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company
—we have upwards of eighty railways either completed
or in progress in this country, involving a capital exceed-
ing eighty millions sterling. We have seen, in the Par-

litimeiitaiy session of 1843, an array of schemes with a
capital amounting to ninety-six millions. We have had
in the session which has just closed a capital involved in
the railway department of legislation at present beyond
• the reach of accurate estimate—vast manifestations of
the enterprise of the age. Grand though the result—
equalling the wealth-creating powers of the genii and
enchanters of Eastern romance—not less strange and
true is the fact that the name of him who designed it is
unknown to the world, That man was Thomas Gray,
whose claims as the great Pioneer of the Railway
System it is the aim of these memorials to set forth, as a
humble call on the gratitude of his fellow-countrymen."
The remainder of the paper is occupied with a brief
sketch of the rule state of the rail or tram-way at the
time Mr. Gray directed his enlightened and ingenious
mind to the subject. In their next number they propose
to narrate the first labours of, Mr. Gray.
From the same paper we also extract the following
very gratifying paragraph We are glad to learn '
that the gentleman whose letters strongly advocating the
claims of Thomas Gray, recently appeared in our
columns, has after much labour, established the nucleus
of a plan having for its object to secure some testimony
of public gratitude to cheer the declining days of that
ill-requited individual. The plan will,
in a few days, be
submitted to the various •Railway Boards in the king-
dom; and we hope,
not be so submitted in vain."

FIRE IN THE BOROUGH.

On Friday night, shortly before eleven (fel, t!lc, a 41e-
structive fire broke out upon the extensive premises of
Mr. T. Cowper, me rcer and haberdasher, 144, I-14!h-,k reet,
Borough. Flames were fir, t, perceived in the I.)wer part
of the premises, which are of considerable extent. In a
very short time after the discovery of the outbreak the
fire assumed an aspect of a most a:arming character, the
entire premises exhibiting one body of tire. Information
was received at the several stations, and in a v,ry short
time an engiro of the London Fire Estuashmeet, and
the WaCieg-stri engine Mr. Braid wood, were upon
the spot, closely followed by others. The water from
the Southwark males wa, fortunately plentiful, and in a
brief space of time several engin« s were got to work.
By dint of perseverance and unflinching determination,
and in the midst of great danger, the firemen continued
their efforts until the fire began to yield. Notwithstand-
ing their efforts, the house was gutted, and the whole of
the valuable stock and furniture .completely destroyed.
How the parties on the premises eicaped, or whether the
adjoing buildings were injured, could trot in the excite-
ment be gleaned, nor could any information be obtained
as-to whether the parties are insured.

HAMMERSMITH.

EXTRAORDINARY CREDULITY.-011 Saturday a young
man, shabby-genteelly dressed, about 22 years of
age, named James Jones, was brought up before Mr.
G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, on a warrant, charg-
ing him with obtaining money under false pretences.
Margaret Arsltng, a female of respectable appear-
ance, nearly 40 years of age, deposrd that on the 23d
of September last she went to the prisoner's house in
James•street, Kensington, and saw him, and told him
she had had a little loss, and he said "I know it, it's
linen." I said " No, it's money; 275." The prisoner
said if I could afford to give 10s. be would show me
the person who took it in a glass. I told him I was
a very poor woman, and he then said if I made up
my mind to give him 10s. I was to send him a letter
in the morning and bring the 10s. in the after-
noon. The next day I went to his house and saw
him, and he asked me if I had got the 10s. I said
yes, and he told me to put the money on what I con-
sidered a funeral pall, and ordered me out of the room.
He was then alone in the room, and in two or three
minutes he called me back and asked me if I knew the
party. I said no. He had three knives in the room,one
of which he took up, and pretended to cut his hand. He
then took a glass from under the funeral pall, and,
putting a candle before it, asked me if that was the per-
son. I saw the head of a female in the glass. I told
him I could swear to nobody, and he asked me if I did
not know the —? He then said, Mr. Jones could do
no more. Mr. Jones never told a lie ; and shook me by
the hand, and said I should be sure to have my money
again the following day. I told my master all about it.
I have never had the money.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he did not
know that he was violating the law by telling fortunes.
Mr. CLrvE, however, dispelled his ignorance on the
matter by sending him to prison for three months,
adding to his confinement the comfort of hard labour.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock on Saturday
morning, a police-constable whilst passing through Port-
pool-lane, Gray's-inn-lane, discovered that the t irpaulirg
manufactory, belonging to Mr. Orchard, and situate in
that thoroughfare, was on fire. The officer raised an
instant alarm, and in the course of a few minutes, a
number of the inhabitants hastened to the spot to render
assistance ; but it was found that the flames had ob-
tained already too strong a hold to be easily extin-
guished. Messrs. Reid, the brewers, of Liquorpond-
streetorpon being apprised of the disaster, sent ore of
their engines to the scene of conflagration, and the same
was set to work by a large party of draymen. °eine- to
the great number of sheets of prepared canvass that were
hanging upon the sacks in the building, they proved
such a powerful auxiliary to the fire, that in less than a
quarter of an hour after the first discovery was made,
the entire structure became erciteled in fl:im2s, which,
upon breaking through the roof and windows, compelled
the persons living in the 1 ou'es in 'fist -court to make a
precipitate retreat into the street, the emeke thet en-
tered their habitations being of tuck a dense and suffo-
cating nature. For some time it was feared that. eeere
building in the latter thoroughfare would have been de.
stroyed, there being only a narrow space between then
and the factory. The brigade engines from the Cit 3
and west-end stations were, however, soon at the spot
and in lull operation; they were followed by the West of
England, and one from the Waterloo-road station. The
mains of the New River Company afforded an abundant
supply of water, which the firemen scattered over
the destructive element ; notwithstanding, before
any impression could be made upon th filmes,
the whole of the stock in trade in the build-
ing was totally consumed, and ,the maned ac
tory gutted. Some of the surrounding- premises
are damaged, but, owing to the exertions of the firemen,
not to any great extent. How the fire originated, could
not be ascertained ; it is stated by the men employed in
the place, that none of the coppers had been lighted for
a considerable period, and it is their opinion that some
of the canvass overheated itself and ignited spontaneously.
Owing to the absence of Mr. Orchaid, we were unable

SPEECH OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.

The town councillors of Berlin presented yesterday at
noon to the King an address thanking his Majesty for
having repelled the unheard-of attempt made upon the
dignity and independence of the nation, and asserting that,
France having declaredwar against Prussia, every man will
do his duty. The address says that, however desirous
Germany might be to carry out the work of peace, no
sacrifice will be considered too heavy to oppose the
present rapacious attack upon the independence of the
Fatherland. Prussia enters, in unison with Germany,
upon a war to which she has been provoked by foreign
arrogance. The address concludes by stating that it is
presented as evidence of the entire devotion to duty and
of the spirited feeling pervading the nation.
The King, in reply, expressed his gratitude for the
sentiments contained in the address, and said, " God
knows I am not answerable for this war. The demand sent
me I could not do otherwise than reject. My reply gained
the approval of all the towns and provinces,the expression of
which I have received from all parts of Germany, and
even from Germans residing beyond the seas. The
greeting which was given me here on Friday last
animated me with pride and confidence. Heavy
sacrifices will be demanded of my people. We
have been rendered unaccustomed to them by the
quickly-gained victories which we achieved in the
last two wars. We shall not get off so cheaply
this time, but I know what I may expect from my
army, and from those hastening to join the ranks.
The instrument is sharp and cutting ; the result is
in the hands of God. I know also what I may expect
from those who are called upon to alleviate the wounds,
the pains) and suffering which war entails. In conclusion,
I beg you to express my sincere thanks to the citizens for
the reception they have given me." At the termination of
the King's address, the assembly with great enthusiasm
shouted unanimously, " Long live the King !"
