FURTHER PARTICULARS.

We have made further inquiries into the precise
origin of the fire, and conversed with Colonel
V•an Billow, in whose room it is considered to
have commenced ; and, in just ee to him, it is
proper ►o state that he declares most positively, on
his honour, and every ether solemn declaration, that
" he had not been smoking, as insinuated, in his
b•id." Such, he say., was not his habit. He
recollected having smoked down stairs before he
proceeded to his apartment on the first floor. He
admits the fire originated in his room, but in what
manner he is utterly at a loss to say. He was
dreadfully burnt about the hands, and escaped into
the street in almost a state of nudity, having lost
rill hi: wearing apparel He also lost a variety of
valuable property in money, including 2701. in
notes, 37 sovereigns, 201 louis-d'ors, and 60
Prussian dollars, togeth-1 with a valuable gold
watch which he had had made in Dublin, and a
French gold watch, on which he set great value,and
other articles, which he had deposited in his writing-
desk. The clothes he at present wears are of u
very indifferent description, and have been
given him by some person in the neighbourhood.
Lie held the rank of Colonel in the Gerinan Legion,
in which he has seen much service, and has all the
appearance of an old warrior. During the greater
part of Saturday he was r acing up and down the
street in front of the scene of the fire, obviously in
a stare of indifference as to the burnt state of his
hands, and apparently insensible to what was pass-
ing around him. His hair, eye-lashes, and eye-
brows were much singed by the action of the flames.
Up to a late hour the firemen had not discovered
the body of Mr. Nagle, whose father, the Colonel
(Bulow) states, was a Hungarian, and highly
esteemed in that service, in which he was paymaster.
The deceased Mr. Nagle, as stated above, was a na-
ive of Ireland.

Shorily before the fire was discovered, the waiter
of the hotel, who usually sirs up to a late hour, re-
tiled to bed, and all up to that time appeared to
him to be safe. The colonel is reported to have
been in the habit of reading to a late hour in his
room.

Considerable anxiety prevails in the neighbourhood,
and few seem agreed as to its origin.—Observer.

AN ECCENTRIC.—An English gentleman of
the name of ABBOTT, most eccentric in his habits, and
som°•what deranged in his intellect, who had escaped from
the guardianship of his friends, resided for years by him-
self in a hut on Goat Island, Niagara Falls. He used fre-
quently to undress himself and bathe i❑ the rapids above
the Falls. He also would often, for a length of time
together, walk backwards and forwards on a dangerous
bridge, thrown over loose rocks in the rapids, with it,
extreme point, a single beam of timber, projecting en the
brisk of this tremendous cataract. After having exercised
himself in this manner for a while, lie would walk to the
end of the beam, and, having secured himself by his feet,
hang with his head downwards, and look steadfastly on
the dread abyss beneath him. This solitary, singular, and
hazardous existence he long continued. His hat and pars
of his other dress were observed one day deposited on the
hank at a place where he was wont to enter the water f
the purpose of bathing, but himself had disappeared. His
body was found long afterwards considerably belo,v,—

REVOLUTIONS.—The ultimate consequences
of the French revolution are yet to come; the revolution
in July, which seems to Mr. ALISON to have so litth,
ciinneciion with it, is, in ou: judgment, but an incident ill
the first act. The wars, carried on so long and so reso-
lutely by the otd governments, to put down revolution .
France, have spread the seed of it all over Europe; lendis not impos,ible that, to the c .lin contemplative view
succeedin, generations, the French revolution itself, an,i
the splendid reign of NAPOLEON, with all its glory and its
conquest, will seem but a sublime incident in the political
dram. of the 19:b century, to which the decrees of the
Vienna Congress and the Holy Allies will be the ante-
masque. The ace of revolutions, as this has been
may seem to them an age of political reforms—a struggle
for plitical institutions, worthy the advanced know edge
of tne ag-_institutions varii•us in character indeed, brit
all conducing, we hope, to the happiness of the people,—

E. GROVE, Esq., immediately presented himself
to the meeting, and was received with loud cheers.
It was scarcely six months ago since they were as-
sembled in that Court, to elect two Members to
serve in Parliament for the Southern Division of
the county of Stafford. One of their friends—his
Hon. Friend, Mr. Littleton—had recently accepted
the office of Chief Secretary in Ireland, and thereby
vacated his seat in Parliament. He (Mr. Grove)
did not stand there to solicit their suffrages and sup-
port for an unknown stranger. Mr. Littleton had
heen unanimously elected the representative of the
large and populous county of Stafford for more than
twenty years.—(Loud cheers.) During that period
for honesty, firmness of purpose, and unparalleled
exertions, Mr. Littleton had never been surpassed
by any cotinry member in the kingdom.—(Cheers.)
Nit-. G. concluded by nominating E. J. Littleton,
E,q., as a fit and proper person to repre-ent them
in Parliament.—(Cheers.)
J. FOSTER, Esq. (late Member for Britlgnor►h),
came forward to second the nomination. He trusted
that Mr. Littleton would be Member for the county
of Stafford before he slept that night.—(Cheers.)
Certain he was that if any attempts were made to
defeat him, they would prove totally abortive.
The Rev. Mr. BONNEY (Head Master of Mtge-
ley Free Grammar School) then presented himself
to propose Lord Ingestrie as a fit and proper person
to represent them in Parliament, amidst the most
discordant interruptions.—(Loud cries of " No
Bribery.") Was South Staffordshire to become
Mr. Littleton's rotten borough ?—(lmmense uproar,
and cries of " Go to Hertford I") Mr. Littleton,
he asserted,treated the county like a rotten borough.
—(" Where, and when ?") Had he ever solicited
a single vote during the last three Parliaments
Decidedly not.—(Cheers and laughter.) His chief
reason for believing that Mr. Littleton considered
Staffordshire his borough, was his appointment to
the Irish Secretaryship. It was well known that
the office went a begging a considerable time. Mi-
nisters at last hit upon Mr. Littleton, and they rea-
soned as follows :—" Hobhouse has been beat out
of Westminster—we can't do better than take Lit-

tleton—he is sure of his return, for Staffordshire is
his rotten borough.—(Groans and cries of " Go tus
Hertford!" He ( Yr. B.) recollected well Mr.
Littleton being first returned to Parliament, which
he hailed with demonstrations of joy, but which
had changed their political principles. Mr. Little-
ton started in public life as a Tory.—(Loud cries.
of " No !") He was supported by the Tories.
—(That's very different !") Had he not changed
about with every Government that came into power,
and was he not now connected with the weakest
and most profligate Ministry that ever held the
reins of power ?—(asapprobation ; " We don't
mean to have the discarded Member for the rotten
borough of Hertford.") As it regarded Lord In-
pstrie, it w-as true that he had keen turned out of
Hertford owing to his having been too good to his
friends.—(Loud laughter an cheers.) In nomi-
nating him as one of their representatives, he nomi-
nated him as a Conservative.(Uoroar.)
Mr. SMITH of Rugeley, seconded the nomination.
FRANCIS FINCH, Esq., was received with loud
cheers. He informed them that on entering Lich-
fie'd that mrrning it was his intention to oppose
the return of Mr. Littleton. He was anxious, how-
ever, to take the first opportunity of stating that
any opposition which he might have contemplated
he now withdrew.—(Loud cheering.) A. a con-
sistent Reformer, he never could consent to send
into P,rliament a Member of that party to which,
in his opinion, were to be attributed almost all the
evils under which they were then labouring.
Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY bad been disgusted by
Mr. Littleton's recent votes in Parliament—so
die-
gusted, that at the call of many electors from the
neighbourhood of Wolverhampton and Walsall, he
should have offered himself in opposition, with
or without chance of success, had no other candi-
date come forward. He did not doubt the zeal and
ability of Mr. Littleton in public business as a
county Member, attentive to their local interests—
it was impossible that he could be surpassed. It
was his political conduct and his Parliamentary
votes that excited his opposition. What had been
his vote oil Sir William Ingilby's motion on the
malt tax ; and was he not one of the .500 whom
Lord Althorp took down to the House of Com-
mons to rescind a vote previously passed by a House
consisting of 300 ? He did not exactly recollect
whether Mr. Littleton was in that majority or not,
but he would bet a guinea to a brass farthing that
he was.—(Mr. Littleton here exclaimed "Dote;"
cheers followed ; many of the electors insisting that
Sir Charles should pay his guinea before he proceded.)
The Hon.Bart.then proceeded to read a paper drawn
up by Mr. Cobbett, and which pointed out t he various
objectionable votes which Mr. Littleton had given
during the present Parliament. Sir Charles con-
cluded a speech which excited a good deal of merri-
tnent, by expressing the highest opinion possible of
Mr. Ingestrie. The eyes of all England were upon
the county of Stafford, and he called upon them to
do their duty like Westminster, and rebuke an in-
famous Whig Ministry.
The Rev. Mr. LEIGH, of Bilston, in an eloquent
speech, defended the consistency of Mr. Littleton.
Mr. LITTLETON, having expressed his seknow-
leigments to the gentlemen by whom he was pro-
posed and seconded, proceeded to explain the tno-
lives which had led him most reluctantly to accei,t
office. It was solely on public grounds, to relieve
the Ministry from the embarrassment in which they
were then placed.
Lord INGESTRIE next addressed the electors. He
declared himself a Conservative—defended himself
and the borough of Hertford, and declared he woultt
carry on the poll to the last minute.
At the conclusion of the Noble Lord's speech,
the Sheriff put the candidates to the vote, when
we should conceive that the show was at least
eight to one in Mr. Littleton's favour. Lord In-
gestrie demanded a poll, which is fixed to commence
on Tuesday next. The meeting then adjourned.
Thete can be no doubt of Mr. Littleton being re-
urned by a large majority.
