SALES OF ENCIMIBERED ESTATES.

The Meath estates of Mr. Charles Henry Smith,
owner and petitioner in the case, producing a profit rental
of about 4001. per annum, were set up for sale yesterday,
in three lots, before two of the Commissioners, and
realized in the aggregate a sum of 5,4001., being some-
thing like 121 years' purchase. An extensive property
in the county of Tipperary, the estate of Mr. Hems-
worth, the rental of which was estimated at a little over
1,0001. a year, was offered in nine lots, the whole of
which, atter considerable delays, owing to the leek of
competition and various other causes, was disposed of for
the sum of 10,1501. Lord Cremorne, the petitioner is
the matter, was a purchaser to the extent of half the
amount produced by the sales.

FATAL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
The metropolis was yesterday morning visited by two
fires, one of which unfortunately destroyed the lives of
two human beings—a man and his wife.
One fire broke out at a few minutes before four o'clock
at 31, John-street, Harper-street, New Rent-road, in the
joint occupation of Mr. H. Richardson, a type founder,
and Mr. Samuel Potts. Police-constable, No. 779 of the
A division, kept the door of the premises closed until
assistance came up, when he started for the fire-engines.
The engines and firemen of the Southwark-bridge-road
and Waterloo-road stations, and those of the West of
England office, were soon on the spot, and plenty of
water being procured the engines were set to work, but
the flames had previously penetrated the roof, and were
rising so high as to illumine the whole neighbourhood.
The firemen, however, soon got the flames extinguished,
when they entered the premises for the purpose of look-
ing after the two persons who were known to be in the
building. On •approaching,the front room window s
shocking spectacle presented:itself, for lying on the door
were the lifeless bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Potts, burnt
almost as black as a coal, every article of furniture in
the place being consumed, and not so much as even the
trace of a bedstead lacing left.
The other fire broke out in the Grand Junction Canal
Company's dockyard, No. 18, Wharf-road, City-road,
and although the firemen had been actively engaged for
six hours, the flames were not entirely extinguished at
seven o'clock. The stores were burnt ont, and the ad-
joining buildings are also much injured by fire, water,
and breakage. The heat from the furnace flue was the
cause of the outbreak. The Royal Society's fire escapes

LATEST PARTICULARS.

A most painful sensation prevailed the whole of yes-
terday throughout the extensive parish of Newington in
reference to the melancholy loss of lite which occurred at
31, John-street, noticed above. The house consisted of
only three rooms, and from the ground floor to the roof
was, probably, not more than 12 or 14 feet high. Mr.
Richardson, who with his wife lived in the parlour, on
being awoke by the smell of smoke, and on finding that
the house was on fire, made his escape as quickly as
possible. The policeman, while waiting at the corner
of the street for his sergeant, was suddenly alarmed by
loud cries of "Police," and " Murder," proceeding from
the premises. As soon as he reached the door Mr.
Richardson and his wife emerged from the house,
and, not knowing that any one else was within,
he closed the street door to prevent the draught
from forcing the flames through the building until the
arrival of his sergeant, who then dispatched him to
call the engines. It was not till after the officer had
departed that the fearful fact of the poor man and his
wife being in tho upper room became known. The
flames then had enveloped the room in question, ran.
during it impossible for any one to enter. The Bri-
gade and West of England engines were on the ap t
in less than ten minutes alter the alarm was
and by another quarter of an hour the
fire was safely
extinguished.
Shells having been procured during the morning the
mangled remains were removed to the dead-house, to
await a coroner's inquest.

The Brigade authorities during
the day instituted a
very searching inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining
how the melancholy event happened, the result of
which leaves no doubt that both Mr. and Mrs. Potts,
when they arrived home, were intoxicated, and it is
suspected that in retirinbt, to bed they dropped a spark
on to the bedding, Which being unperceived must have
smouldered until it broke out in a flame. The poor
creatures were 11

attached. The merits of the case as regards the seizure
the' claim,
were not before the court, but simply the rights of attach-
ment, and this was held not to exist, because the amount
does not belong to the Queen of Portugal, who, it is alleged,
has no control whatever over it when once remitted to Eng-
land. The difficulty, of course, in these cases is to deter-
mine the party to whom the money really does belong. No
doubt the case will, in a new shape, be followed up, and if
Baron de Ilaber is unable to recover of the Government,
we presume his banker will be liable. If any justification
of the seizure is to be made, we shall then probably have it.
The public debt of Prussia which bears interest
amounts to 155 i millions of thalers, to which must be added,
8,333,000 thalers of provincial debt. The debt of the SUVA

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1851.

Red-tapism has, in France, received a blow so
revere that it may be seriously doubted whether it
can ever again, as a system, recover its ancient predo-
minance., It has been demonstrated most clearly
that the Government of a great commonwealth can be
carried en vigorously and satisfactorily without the
assistance of those men who have hitherto been re-
garded ns the e necessary conductors of an administra-
tion. During a Period of extraordinary and almost
unprecedented ditUculty, the executive powers of the
Republic have been entrusted to statesmen unhack-
neyed in the proceedings of the Legislature. With-
out being the leaders of an influential party, without
.
being connected in anY way whatsoever with
either the one or the Other of the influential
factions in the Assembly, the members of the present
iLlinistry of Transition have, nevertheless, contrived
to regulate the interests of the nation in a manner the
most effective and commendable. They have
triumphed in accomplishing labours which had baffled
the skill of men, politically speaking, their superiors,
man of considerable practice, and of comprehensive
experience. The experiment adventured Upon by
Louis NAPOLEON, in a moment of supreme ember:,
Tassment, has, in fact, succeeded " to a mirack).
Defied as he was openly and flagrantly by the mai'
rity of the Legishstive Assembly, hampered in all
his efforts to watch over the destinies
of France, contemned in all his endea-
vours at conciliation, opposed in every scheme,
in every official suggestion, in every ministerial mea-
sure submitted at his dictate to the opinion of the
popular representativßs,—the PEESIDENT was corn•
pelted to resort to some such desperate method of
Tendering himself independent, and of imparting a
larger amount of strength to his Government.
Bence the abrupt but temperate message, in which he
ancounced to the Parlianient of the Republic his de-
tern iination to select from without its .walls the Mi-
niste, is in the different departments- of the Adminis-

The Right Reverend Doctor has also kindly
informed the public of the "consternation"
excited in the convent by the proposition. Many of
the nuns objected to it strongly—not on account of
any personal feeling against the dear creature who
had been educated under their auspices, but for "the
reason that they would be accused of having in-
veigled her to enter among them on account of her
wordly advantages." This would probably have
proved fatal to the hopes of the youthful aspirant, but
for the opportune interference of the benevolent
Bishop, who stepped forward, the deus ex machines,
to remove all impediments to the consummation
so devoutly to be wished for, which would enable
Miss TALBOT, if she should satisfactorily pass through
the preliminary ordeals, to spend the remainder of
her existence in tranquil seclusion, and devote her
80.0001. to the building and endowing of churches
and chapels, and schools and hospitals, and orphan-
ages, &c., which are so much required, as the " Ca-
tholic Church in England is very poorly provided."
He certainly made the suppliant know the value of the
boon he was conferring. He told her that he " did not
consider her at all fitted for the conventual
life, but that he might be wrong in his judgment, and
therefore would not oppose her wish, if the commu-
nity were willing to give her a trial." Even this ob-
stacle was cleared away by the kindness of the eccle-
siastical superior, who wrote to the lady abbess in a
similar way, "but adding, that in such a case the cen-
sures of the world, which they apprehended, must be
disregarded." And thus it happened that the earnest
prayer of the petitioner was granted, and that, " ac-
cordingly, she was admitted somewhere about the be-
ginning of September."
_ _ _

The Paris asclre has the following :
" It is positively asserted that the Holy See has sanc-
tioned the project for carrying a line of railway through
the Roman States, and that a Congress is now sitting at
Rome for the purpose of determining the point where it
shall cross the Apennines, and the amount that the
Governments of Austria, Tuscany, Rome, Modena,
and Parma shall respectively contribute to this enter-
prise. The object of Austria is, as soon as these
means of communication are open, to make the Grand
Ducal Government itself the unconscious in-
strument of her design of impeding the progress
of the commerce of Tuscany, by imposing restrictions
which will insensibly destroy the very principle of
liberty. If Austria succeeds in persuading the Pope to
consent to aid in the construction of a railway from
Trieste to Leghorn, and to give up all the other projected
lines—such, for instance, as those from Rome to Ancona
and Bologna, or from Ancona to Civita Yecchia—she
will undoubtedly endeavour to obtain great facilities in
favour of merchandise destined for Trieste, and so to
establish new restrictions, to the prejudice of Tuscan
trade, in the hope of afterwards rivalling Genoa in the
Levant. It is evident that Austria neglects no means
of extending her iLfluence in Italy, and Leghorn already
begins to feel the effects of the policy she follows."
The Milan Gazette of the 20th inst. publishes the
following proclamation.:—
" The Emperor having. by a sovereign resolution,
dated the 10th, ordered the establishment of a military
cordon along the frontier from Sesto Calende to Grave-
lona, and having granted the Customs officers who are
stationed along that cordon, the same right of using
their arms as the soldiers of the army, the inhabitants
are informed that the Customs officers have received pre-
cise orders to fire on whoever shall cross the line of the
cordon and not halt at the third summons, or who, on
halting, shall not instantly lay down the arms he may
have in his possession.

NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES.—The opinion is
very prevalent that the intricacy of the navigation at the
mouth of the Thames renders it perfectly secure against the
approach of any foreign ships unprovided with pilots. For
the purpose of undeceiving those persons who entertain this
opinion, it may be mentioned that the Governolo (Sardinian
man-of-war steamer of 1,400 tons, and mounting 12 long 68-
pounders, lately arrived at Woolwich) found her way from
Spithead, through the Downs and up the river to Woolwich
without a pilot, though not a man or officer on board had
ever been up the river before.
THE BURGLARY AT MR. HoLroßD's.—Mr. Hol-
ford, whose mansion was, as it will be remembered, bur-
glariously entered some months ago, when a conflict of a
desperate nature took place, and who has recently returned
from America, has given 201. to the police and others em-
ployed in connexion with the burglary, in addition to what
they had before received. He has also• rewarded Mr. Paul,
the butler, and the rest of the servants who so bravely con_
ducted themselves upon the occasion alluded to.
The new Vice-Chancellorship will be given to Mr.
George Turner, or to Mr. Kindersley ; but it was said yes-

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 150 American, and
500 Surat, were taken on speculation; comprising 5,500
American, 500 Egyptian at ltd. to 9id., and 700 Surat
at 4id. to sd. per lb. The market was livelier, and
closed firmly.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices
were declining.
Messrs. Laing and Bruxner inform us that in respect
to the Indigo sales, a printed document has been exten-
sively circulated, bearing the signature of " A Merchant;"
and, notwithstanding the severity with which the pro-
ceedings of the brokers aro castigated, they cannot be
said to be altogether undeserved. There can bo no
doubt whatever that the character of the periodical sales
has suffered largely in public estimation by the practice
of making extensive declarations only to take the goods
in; mid the result has been, that buyers have to a great
extent refrained from attending or giving orders, an
effect we consider very deplorable as regards the in-
terests of all parties. It is to be hoped that the general
approbation of the trade of the animadversions alluded
to, may have the desired result of restoring the Indigo
sales to their pristine respectability.
The new constitution of Indiana provides that after
the adoption of that instrument, no county, town, or
city, shall subscribe stock or loan credit to any railroad
company or other work of public improvement, unless
such subscription of stock shall be assessed in the form
of taxation, and the amount thereof so raised paid in
cash at the time of subscribing the same. It is under-
stood that a similar provision has been adopted, to be
engrafted upon the new constitution of Ohio. This will
put a stop to the further issue of city and eounty bonds
in Indiana and Ohio, and render their securities already
issued and authorised more valuable.

The prosperity of Canada has frequently of late been
brought under notice, and considering the new era of
competition, and the abolition of protection, this is most
gratifying, as evidence both of innate strength and
sterling resources. The proprietors of the Canada
Company held their general meeting yesterday, and
received a most favourable statement of the progress of
their tenants. The company's operations are confined to
the upper or western province, and the rapid acquisition
of the freehold of the land taken by the hardy and in-
dustrious men who lease of the company, and who com-
menced with scarcely anything but their labour, proves
a kindly system and a fair field. In the savings bank
formed by the company for its own tenants exclusively,
the deposits at the latest date exceeded 10,0001.

The committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received a letter from their Venezuelan agent,
dated La Guayra, Feb. 22, 1851, of which the following
is an extract:—

"My representation to Congress (urging them to
make arrangements for providing for the arrears of in-
terest) was presented and read in the Chamber of Re-
presentatives on the Bth inst.; it was at once passed to
the Committees of Finance and Foreign Affairs, for them
jointly to report upon it. For the present the Finance
Committee is occupied on the formation of a new law
upon public credit that has been recommended by the
Chamber as urgent, and to be considered preferably to
every other matter before the Committee."

The English Stock Market has been heavy this
morning. Consols 964 for Transfer, and 96i for
Account. Exchequer-bills are 525. to 545. premium,
and India Bonds 61s. premium.
Foreign Securities have been quoted as follows:
Spanish Five per Cents. 21i I, and the Three per Cents.
38 to f. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 841, and Pe-
ruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are 85 to Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 58i. Mexican
Bonds are up to 334 These rates exhibit the un-
steadiness of the market, or rather the want of uni-
formity. Mexican are better, while Spanish are worse
and so with others.
In Railway Shares the settlement of the account is
progressing, and the market is much agitated in conse-
quence. Enormous rates of " continuation" have been
paid, 30s. and 40s. per share having been asked, for in-
stance, upon Great Western, and when this was declined
the "closing" price one moment was 87, and immedi-
ately after 89i was asked to the same party as a buyer
back. All Shares are lower, therefore, the decline being
1/. to 2/. on North-Western, about 11. on Midland, and
proportionable amounts on the smaller lines. The
Foreign Shares have been very quiet, and better than the
English, a good many names having been given by par-
ties intending to invest.
