state that the health of Lord Panmure, whieh bad for :it/ me
time been in a declining state, is now considerably imprcer ed,

ALARMING FlRE.—Yesterday morning, about iur
o'clock, a tire of a destructive character broke out on the ,re-
mises of Mr. Ashford, residing at No. 20, Bethnal-gre an-
road,.Shoreditch. It appears that the flames were first dis-
covered by a police-constable, raging on the ground A oor.
The officer raised the alarm by springing his rattle, and as-
sistance having reached the spot, messengers were dispats
for the engines. In the meanwhile the inmates escapocl, but
the flames soon obtained a firm hold on the second floor.
The engines of the parish, Jeffrey's-square, and others lie ving
arrived, a plentiful supply of water was obtained and t hi own
upon the burning premises, which were nearly death )yed
before the firemen could obtain a mastery over the fla mes.
During the progress of the fire two of the brigade men
mounted the upper portion of the staircase to get st b etter
command of the flames, and while they were in the pi srf )rm-
ance of their duties, the staircase gave way, and preci pi. rated
them to the basement of the building. Mr. Fogo, the a cting
inspector, and several firemen rushed to their assistance , and
immediately extricated the poor fellows, who fortunate 13 sus-
tained only a few bruises and contusions by the fall. They
were taken to the London Hospital, but were able to leave
shortly afterwards. Mr. Ashford was fortunately ilas fired,
but the origin of the fire remains a mystery.
LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY.—The members of the
Law Amendment Society dined together on Saturday'' night
at the London Tavern. The principal object of their 'meet-
ing was to mark their respect for the labours of Mr. David
Dudley Field, who, our readers may remember, visit ;et 1 this
country about this time last year, and expounded tl Le prin-

The Afoniteur contains the following report from
the Minister of Marine and Colonies to the PRESIDENT
of the Republic
M. le President,—By a decree of the Bth of this
month, you decided that individuals placed-under the
surveillance of the popes, who should be proved guilty
of having broken their ban should be transported, for the
sake of general safety, to a penal colony, such as Cay-
enne or Algeria, and that the same measure should
apply to persons proved to have belonged to a secret
society. In execution of that decree a certain number
of persons are at present about to be sent to Cayenne.
Thisoperation requires several provisions, urgently
called for,
which I am occupied in arranging to meet.
In particular, it is necessary to have a quantity of eat-
ables, clothing, and medicine provided at Cayenne; also
and 600,000 f. for! the expenses of the
to have wooden houses constructed for residence. The
first credits indispensably necessary for these matters
will amount to 658,000 f,, thus divided-58,000f. for
mmiilliittaarryy
It is to provide for such credits that I
submit to you the following special decree ; and am
alluded to follows, by which the PRE-
SIDENT

Republic grants the sums applied for.

be commenced cwo
Tne Courrier de Marseille gives the following from
its correspondent at Digne, dated the 17th :
" Barcelonette, the only point on which the insurgents
still held out, has just been reduced by M. Dunoyer, the
prefect, who left Digne en the 14th with a strong body of
troops. The Socialists, however, would not wait for the
arrival of our soldiers, who have everywhere given
proof of such admirable vigour and energyAut evacuated
the place. The pacification of our department may
therefore be considered as terminated, with the excep-
tion of some operations of detail which are being car-
ried on in petty localities. Detachments, under the
direction of the Sub-Prefect and Colonel Millet, com-
manding the state of siege, left yesterday for Forcal-
quier, to clear the neighbouring communes of the rem-
nants of the dispersed bands. Two hours before day-
light the troops suddenly surrounded the villages of
Dauphin and St. Marine. Searches were then made,
and twenty-fire persons, the leaders of the contingents
who had marched on the chef-lieu, were arrested. Nu-
merous arrests have taken place among the most
violent members of the secret societies, with which
this part of the country was infested. These men
materially assist the efforts of the authorities in their
judicial investigation by the fraternal eagerness with
which they denounce each other. The inquiry which is
going on with the greatest activity under the direction
of the commandant of the state of sit ge, promises some
curious revelations of the infernal revolutionary organi-
sation given to the department by Langomazino and
Gent. At St. Etienne the column of Commandant
Vinoy has also made many captures; eight persons who
were taken with arms in their hands were shot on the
spot." The principal insurgent chiefs aro followed up in
all directions. The mountain of Lure, where some re-
manets of the bands have taken refuge, is surrounded
on all sides, and the insurgents cannot fail to be soon in
the hands of justice. Public feeling is much improved
under the influence of the wise measures adopted by the
authorities."
The Siècle announces that General CAVAIGNAC is
free, and had arrived on Friday in Paris.
The Patrie says—" During the last few days a
great number of arrests have been made. Amongst
the persons arrested are cited M. BEAUME, brother of
the representative, who played an important part at
the barricades of the Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau in
February, 1848 ; LEON WATRIPON, one of the getters
up the barricades of the 3d and 4th of December,
and who was one of the editors of the red journal,
the Revolution; VAILLANT and LEDEGUE, chiefs of
sections ; GUERIN, member of the European
Socialist Committee at London; LEVAYEN, 'ex-
political prisoner; and HENRI AUXpOUR:9, one of
the chiefs of the barricades. Thee+) arreits
