THE WESTMINSTER CLOCK TONER.

The following letter has been sent to a contempo-
rary little bird, who has temporary lodgings
in one of my loopholes, tells me that my learned neigh•
hour, Westminster-hall, has been indulging in jokes at
my expense, jokes which, he says, moreover, are of that
ponderous nature so well suited to the age of my
venerable friend. It is clear my ncik:hbour's eyes are
failing, otherwise he (or she ?) would have noticed that
none of the stones, or heavy castings, of which _[ am
composed, have been raised externally, and it is to be
feared that her reasoning and inductive faculties are
not so good as they were (in spite of her legal training),
or it would have occurred to her that thy clock anti
bells would be raised in the same way Its the heavy
stones and ponderous ironwork of which I am composed,
It is, I fear, impossible for my respectec! neighbour to
pay me a visit, otherwise I should be happy to show her
(provided her modesty would not be shocked) a large
hoisting shaft in my interior, with a steam engine at the
top, and should then take the Opportunity of complain-
ing that she should accuse me of requiring an erection to
cost 3,000/. to get in toy furniture, when I myself have
not cost a quarter of that aunt in scaffolding for my
own completion. I ant sorry to say that my neigh-
hours generally appear, in default of better occupation,
to indulge in come of that amiable twaddle so peculiarly
fitted for women of a certain,or, like my venerable friend,
an uncertain age. Pray, sir, protect me from such
scandal, and I will promise you a speedy peal in token
of my gratitude.—Your mTucihiE-rnaelLigonecdlcariol

Tlig DANGER OF SUING AMBASSADORS.

On Saturday at the Bloomsbury County Court, before

His Honour read to him the act of Parliament, 6 and
7 Anne, wherein it is enacted that if aay party shall
sue au ambassador or any attache to any embassy, duly
accredited to the court of the sovereign of these realms,
the Lord Chancellor has the power to order such plain-
tiff to be severely whipped.
Plaintiff appeared horror-struck at this unexpected
piece of legal information, and, amidst mach merriment
in court, turned himself round in the witness-box like a
tortured eel, looking as though he felt the first scratch
of the Chancellor's " cat" on his bade. He then mut-
tered something in the shape of an apology, when his
Honour told him to go about his business, and kindly
ordered the hearing fees, amounting to es. 9d., to be re-
turned to him.

Who is responsible for these things ? Not the
system, not the Government, nor primarily the
Commissariat. This is only an inferior service,
and the magnates of the army were firm in deny-
ing its members any rank or pretension to meet
them on terms of equality, though they are not
ashamed to throw on them the blame of all their
own deficiencies. The responsibility falls with
almost undivided weight on the Quartermaster-
General's Department, whose duty, according to
Colonel the Hon. Alex. Gordon, Assistant Quar-
termaster-General of the Crimea, is to attend to
the extra clothing and all extra stores for the use
of the troops, as well as the camp stores issued ac-
cording to regulation. To this gentleman and Sir
Richard Airey we may address the apostrophe of
Augustus to Varus—" Give us back our legions."
They cannot ; but they have given us back them-
selves, and those in whose hands army patronage
Is deposited ktlow how to make much of the gift.
The men who destroyed the British army come
home from the fields of their exploits to be loaded
with royal favour and with hononrs, and once more
to display at our expense those faculties of misma-
nagement which have already cost us so dear. While
hundreds of gallant friends have fought and bled
unknown and unrewarded, Sir R. Airey is made a
K.C.B. and Quartermaster-General, and Colonel
Gordon, only less mischievous because less highly
placed, Deputy Quartermaster-General and C. 8.,
each being rewarded in proportion to the injury he
has done to his country. If anything were wanted
to show the absolute necessity of placing the Horse
Guards under Parliamentary control, it is that
such things can be done without the assent of the
Government of the day, and without any respon-
sibility to Parliament. The system has now reached
the very climax of absurdity and iniquity, and
when that is the case in this country we know that
it has also reached the verge of extinction.

(Prot' tke Morning Post.)
From the unwonted promptitudewith which the
Government have introduced their bills, as well
as from the alacrity with which the Parliament
directs their attention to them, it is evident that
we are to have a genuinebusineas session, and that
it is not intended to utilise the war as an excuse for
putting off things that ought to be done to a more
convenient season. Foremost among the subjects
pressed upon the consideration of the House of
Commons and her Majesty's Ministers is, as we
anticipated, the Bank Charter. Mr. Glyn, the
eminent banker, a few nights after the opening of
Parliament, made the first move, by asking the

Palmerston will not let the House induce him to
withdraw or'nullify the opinion which he hasgiven
upon this point. The last committee of the House
of Commons which undertook the subject did its
work exceedingly ill, and it is not probable that one
appointed now would be at all more efficient or
useful. Bat even if it were otherwise—even were

Mr. Nicholay, representative at the Metropolitan
Board of Works, called the attention of the Marylebone
Vestry on Saturday, for a few minutes, in order to draw
their serious consideration to another attempt which was
being secretly made to enclbse, or at least encroach
upon, that lovely spot of public recreation, Hampstead.
heath, an attempt which had been defeated session afttr
session in Parliament. (Hear.) In order that that dis-
graceful piece of Vandalism might not be perpetrated,
he begged to move the appointment of a committee to
watch the bill which had been brought into the House
of Lords on the subject, the bill bring one for entitling
the Court of Chancery to grant power to the owners
of property to grant leases, effect rates, or do what they
please, with what was technically termed " Settled
Estates." (Hear, and great dissatisfaction.) The bill was
brought in by the Lori Chancellor, and it was so framed
that both Sir Thomas Wilson, and all proprietors of such
estates as Hampstead, could, at a moment's notice, de-
prive the public of what might be new justly termed their
right. (Hear.) It would be a great injn-ties, both a.
regarded the health of the metropolis, and the peaceful
rural delights of the public, who flocked to Hampstead
heath as the only place of salubrity and enjoyment in the
northern portion of the great city, to deprive them of the
heath by encroaching en and building upon it ; and he
hoped the committee would see that no clandestine
measure was carried in either house for that purpose.
In conclusion, Mr. Nicholsy observed that he would, at
the next meeting of the Central Board, bring the sub-
ject under their notice, in order that means might be
adopted for securing to the public the right they had en-
joyed for so lengthened a period.
Mr. WINGFIELD seconded the proposition for the ap-
pointment of a committee.

• Mr. GRAINGER said that he was surprised that Sir
Thomas Wilson should attempt again, after being de-
feated session after session; to push his most unpopular
rights, and he trusted that, for the sake of the public
health, and more especially for the poorer inhabitants of
the metropolis, that the Government would settle ali
further disputes by buying up the property, as, at the
death of the present lord of the manor, his successor
would be entitled to build on the heath, and do what be
pleased with the property. (Hear.)
Mr. LEWIS, solicitor, endeavoured to show that the
whole cry for years past, about,Hampstead-beath being
encroached upon was a complete bugbear, and that Sir
Thomas Wilson was a much ill-used man. He bad
watched the bill in queition, and he could not see that
it threatened to interfere with the lungs of London.
(Hear, and "Oh.") The bill now brought in by the Go-
vernment was a Government measure, and not Sir
Thomas Wilson's. (Renewed cries of "Oh, oh.") A'•
though he (Mr. Lewis) should support the appointment
of a committee, yet he did so with the firm conviction
that the bill alluded to had nothing in it by which Hamp-
stead-heath could he taken away from the public.
Atter some further discussion the motion was carried,
and a committee appointed.

ALARMING FIRES AND NARROW
ESCAPE OF THE INMATES.

Yesterday morning, about half-past 1 o'clock, a fire
broke out in the premises of Mr: C. Hunt, shoemaker,
901, Playhouse-yard, Upper -Whitecross-street, City.
The fire was caused by the spark of a lighted candle,
which, falling upon the bed-furniture, set the room in' a
general blaze. Two of the brigade engines from the ad-
joining station quickly attended, and- owing to the exer-
tions of the neighbours and firemen, the flames were ex-
tinguished, but not until considerable damage was done
to the premises and their contents. Unfortunately the
sufferer was uninsured.

On Saturday last, about 3 o'clock, a fire likewise took
place in the premises belonging to Mr. T. Spillman,
colour-manufacturer, situate at 2S, George's-row, City-
read. The engines of the parish, and four of the London
Brigade, were soon in attendance, when the firemen
found that the beat of the fines had set fire to the drying-
houses on the ground floor, and extended from thence
to the ground floor and the rooms over. The firemen,
by great perseverance, succeedel in eventually, extin-
guishing the flames, but not, however, until the drying-
houses, ground and first floors, together with their
valuable contents, were severely damaged by fire, &I.
The building and the fixtures were insured in the Nor-
wich Union Fire-office, but the contents were supposed
to be not insured.
The same morning another fire happened in the pre-
mises termed the Bridge-house, the property of Mr. F.
Hadley, a linen draper, No. 29, Southwark-bridge-road.
The discovery was made by one of. the inmates shortly
after the family had retired to rest. An immediate alarm
was given, and the various residents happily succeeded
in effecting a safe retreat through the heated smoke. The
engines of the West of England. Cffice and London brl-
gade were remarkably early in arriving, and a plentiful
supply of the Southwark and Viotti-all companies water
having been immediately procured, the firemen went to
work under the direction of Mr.ilendersen, the foreman
of the district and with the aid of the portable engines
the -fire was extinguished, but not until the building and
its contents were severely damaged by fire, ite. The
origin cf the outbreak could not be learned,

SHIELDS, Friday Afternoon.—The effects of the fear-
ful gale of yesterday morning are likely to prove very
serious to shipping in the Tyne. It was at first com-
puted that 10,0001. would cover the damage done to the
ships by being brought in collision during the gale ; but
from 15,000/, to 20,0001. will he nearer the mark. The
storm was most fearful in Shields harbour, about three
o'clock in the morning, and the spectacle presented by
ships breaking loose from their moorings, and smashing
and crashing int) each other, is described as awful be-
ynnd description. It was high water about 3 o'clock in
the morning, when the gale was at its height, and the
Tyne presented the appearanc4 *of an inland sea rather
than a commercial river. No small craft could live, and
it was impossible to get steam tugs to assist the vessels
that were doing so great an amount of damage. The
following are some of the casualties which have taken
place :—Attwood, of Shoreham, foremast carried away ;
Swedish schooner Fibre, upset, lying keel up, near the
Hoy-hill dock ; Countess of Westmoreland, of Newcastle,
lost asainmastand sails ; Ocean, of Colchester, lost one of
her boats and stern stove in ; Sirius, of Shields;stern da-
maged; John White, of Whitstable, lost his boat ;
Sheppard, of Shields,lost rudder, sails, and a boy drowned;
the Evadne, of Shields, stein stove in, with other da-
mage ; Mary Pring, of Shields, dismasted ; Penelope,
London, lost part of her rigging ; Gemini, of Shields,
lost wizen top ; Hercules, of Aldborough, completely
disrnasted and a wreck ; Diol:nda, of -Guernsey, lost
bowsprit and her topmasts carried away ; Premium, of
Shields, taffrail gone and stem stove in ; the brig Ma•
tilde both masts carried away and much damaged in the
hull ; an apprentice, named Henry Clarke, neatly killed.
He belonged to the Good Intent, of Bridport; and the
accident was caused by another vessel's mast falling
over the Good Intent. Some casualties happened at
Sunderland, but not anything so serious as on the Tyne.
In the Lonmreach a great amount of injury has been
sustained by shipping property. A number of ships
broke from their moinin4s at Jarrow-quay. A foreign
schooner is capsized mil sunk. A vessel, the William
Sheppard, has her topvllantinast gone, and is otherwise
much damaged. Several chips have sustained injuries
besides, and a large iron screw-steamer, the Sylph,
fitting out by Messrs. Palmer, of Jarrow, is reported
to be much, stove and .damagel. A large fltatiny
dock drove across from the Coble Dean to the south
side of Shields Harbour, and is sunk with a brig called
the Advance on board of it, The Antelope brig lies
athwart the tiers at the New Quay in a very awk-
ward position, and some mischief has been done to the
fencing of the new floating battery building at Messrs.
Palmer's. The following vessels are upon the in-sand :
the Rosebud, a Danish brig, the Caroline and Henrietta,
the James and Francis, the Sir Charles Napier, of Nor-
way, the Amazon, the Royalist, a Dutch galliot, the
Flying Fish, and a foreign brig, and the Brimas. A good
deal of damage has been done in the country by the late
storm—trees uprooted, stacks of bay and corn scattered
about the roads, and other mischief.

The injury to property in the neighbourhood of Shields
and Newcastle, and throughout the counties of Durham
aid Northumberland, is very extensive indeed, and the
restoratio❑ of buildings and walls blown down will in-
volve an expenditure of some thousands of pounds. The
electric telegraph poles that were blown down upon the
North-Eastern Railway have been re,tored. Part of
the spire of Tynemouth village church was blown demon
yesterday morning, and did some damage.
In Scotland the effects of the storm appear to have
been very disastrous. On the night between Wednes•
day and Thursday, Glasgow and neighbourhood, and
the whole west of Scotland, were visited by a frightful
hurricane.

The African mail steam-packet Ethiope was placed in
dock at Devonport on Saturday for repair with all
despatch.

Frank Butler was buried at Newmarket on Thursday
last. In accordance with the wish which was expressed
before his death, his funeral was" very quiet." He was,
however, conveyed to his last resting place amidst the
tears and regrets of his lellow•townsmen, in wiles,
memory his many acts of kindness, charity, and courtesy
will long live. We knew poor Frank when a child, and
have watched him from his cradle to his grave, and we
have no hesitation in stating, that he was never guilty
of a mean or paltry action, and throughout his brief but
extraordinary ctreer on the turf he preserved his fair
fame untarnished. It was, in face, never even sullied
by the slightest breath of suspicion. In him his employers
placed the most absolute trust, and their confidence vas
never abused. As a jockey, too, Frank Butler was de-
servedly popular ; the public were always satisfied e hen
he was "up" on a favourite, for they knew that, if sound
judgment and admirable horsemanship were alone requi red
t) achieve an important victory, he possessed them in an
eminent degree. Poor Frank received in his youth the
education of a gentleman ; he was conversant with both
French and Latin, and possessed many accomplishments.
In a ball-room he was particularly distinguished by a
peculiar ease and propriety of behaviour. Unlike many
jockeys, be served no decided apprenticeship to his pro-
fession ; he belonged to no training establishment, hn t

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—There was
not a lad came with poultry whilst master was at the
door. Mr. Joseph Vaughan did not leave the study
upon that occasion. He went to a meeting, and re-
membered the name of Beven being mentioned. She
could not remember any other name. It was an unusual
thing for the undertaker to come with the sexton. Such
a thing had not happened. Some gentlemen had come
to the doctor's house. " I did,not see any of them at that
meeting.
Lydia Brougham, Va,ughan, examined by Mr. Pri-
deaux—l am daughtii'r- to_ defendant. I recollect the
day in question, and was in ttre study. My sister and
brother were there. The servant brought in a message
about thefuneral, and he told the servant to say hecould not
have anything to du with it. My father got up and went
cut, and told Maltby and Hayden they must go to the
churchwardens. My fattier did riot collie back to his study
until after they were gone. He did not say to them that
they must tell a lie, and. say that the body came from
R.,bbert-street. I recollect that the name was Beven,
because we knew a gentleman named Boven, a clergy-
man. Her father never took ary paper or gave any. I
saw Mr. Hayden at the police-court. I know him. He
is the brother of our butcher.

Throughout the suburbs the amount of damage is very
great. A portion of the steeple.. Q 1 St. Matthew's Church
had been blown down.

was taught to ride by his uncle, the late Sam Chifney.
A better tutor and an apter pupil were never brought to-
gether. Frank's style of riding was very similar to that
of his uncle ; Frank invariably ma 'e a waiting race, com-
ing with a terrific Chifney "rush" at the finish. This
his sound judgment of pace enabled him to do with
certainty and effect. Who that saw him win the Derby-
on Daniel O'Rourke can forget the determination with
which he called upon the horse to make his final effort ?
Daniel O'Rourke seemed to be actually lifted by the
power of the jockey past the winning chair. The spec.
tators were dumfounded for the moment, end when
Daniel O'Rourke's number was displayed as the winning
horse they could scarcely credit the fact. " Where did
he come from ?" was a question which was frequently
repeated with a puzzled look of ast(mishment. It is
still a popular belief that Frank Butler could have won
the Derby of that year on the second, third, or fourth
horse. Although the success of Daniel O'Rourke
astounded the ring, yet it was not unexpected by poor
Frank. Just prior to the race, as he was quitting the
weighing-room to saddle, he tapped us on the shoulder,
and with his quiet smile of ',confidence, said, "I shall
pull through to•day." When he rode the " little pig of
a horse," as Daniel was called, back to the Grand Stand
enclosure, he was received with deafening and pro-
longed cheers. His face, however, had its customary
stolid look of indifference, and he dismounted as coolly
and quietly as if he had just ridden an unimportant
" walk over" at Newmarket. Another extraordinary
achievement of Frank Butler's was at Chester ii
1146, when he won the Cup on Coranna, an animal with
only three sound legs, and in whore its trainer pat so
little confidence that ho hedged the money which he had
invested at a decided los3.

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins cross-examined this lady at
some length, but failed to shake her testimony.
Mist Decima Vaughan gave similar statements.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, on hearing the young ladies'
statement, said that he could not resist the evidence, and
should withdraw from the prosecution, and, in justice
to those who instructed him, he could only say that such
would be their sentiments, as they were actuated only
by a spirit of justice. (Loud cheering followed this.)
Mr. Justice Wightman, in ordering the defendant to
be discharged, said, be thought'that the prosecutor had
acted entire), under a misapprehension.
The defendant was then arraigned upon a third indict-
ment, which Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said he should with-
draw from.
The defendant then left the dock and was immedi-
ately surrounded by,l4s friends, who were in the court
in great numbers.

There has been very serious destruction to property
in the northern part of the city. A large recently erected
stalk in the works of Messrs. Tennant, of St. Rollox,
was blown down, and falling upon valuable works below
has caused ♦ery serious loss. This was not the great
stalk, which is the highest in the kingdom ; but any-
where else the chimney which has thus fallen before the
blast would he considered a mighty one, for it was
nearly 350 feet in height. The extensive range of work-
shops in the course of erection for the Caledonian Rail-
way Company, at St. Rollox, have been disrupted in the
most serious manner—presenting all the features of a
mass of ruins. In the same district many of the monu-
ments have been damaged and gravestones laid flat in
the Necropolis, and injury of a similar character has
been sustained in Sighthill Cemetery.
The hurricane was experienced i❑ great fury in the
village of Govan. A young► woman named Jessie Muir,
25 years of age, whose father had died so recently as
Saturday last, was in the house alone, and began to get
very frightened as the storm grow in intenQity. She
accordingly went into the house of a neighbour, hut had
only been there for a few minute when the chimney fell
through the roof of the house, by which she was deprived
of life on the spot.
In the southern part of the city the destruction of pro-
perty was great. During the morning the roof of Mr.
Dixon's ironworks, Govan-hank, the roof of the boiler-
shed at Lily-hank, and the roofs of several small build-
ings in the district were blown off. Many casualties
occurred oh the south side of the river. Two magnifi-
cent building sheds, erected about three years ago by
Messrs. Tod and M`Gregor, iron shiphuilders and
engineers, at Particle, were destroyed. These sheds,
constructed in the most substantial manner pos-isle,
were the most unique of their. kind in the United King-
dom. They were in two divi:ionw, the largest being
about 340 feet in length, GO feet in breadth, and GO
feet high ; the second was GO feet in height, 50 feet in
breadths aad ;NO feet lung. They were erected at gnat

Frank Butler for many years rode at small country
meetings before he became known to fame. His prin-
cipal employer at that time was the late much-respected
Williarn Beresforel. Subsevently he was regularly en-
gaged to ride for General Anson and Mr. Bovrev. His
last important victory was achieved •n West Australian
for the St. Leger in 1853. His declining health com-
pelled him soon afterwards to give up riding. In addi-
tion to many minor achievements, Frank Butler won in
the course of his career two Derbvs (on Daniel O'Rourke,
1852, and West Australian, 1853) ; six Oaks (P
1843 ; The Princess, 1844 ; Lady Evelyn, 1849 ;
Rhedicyna 1850 ; Iris, 1851 ; and Songstress, 1852),
four years in succession ; two St. Legers (The Baron.
1845, and West Australian, 1853); the Ham, Gm, r
wicke, Goodwood Cup (three times) ; Stewards' Cup,
at Goodwood ; Doncaster Cup, Great Yorkshire Handi-
cap, Nerthamptonshire Stakes (twice), the Two Thou-
sand Guineas (twice), the One Thousand Guineas (twice),
the Che-ter Cup (1846), the labor St. Leger, Prince of
Wales Stakes, Liverpool St. Leger, &e.
Frank Butler was a married man, His wife died
about a to elvemonth ago ; rho was a Miss Baily, of
Waterbeach, near Good, ood. A. sister of hers married
poor Frank's brother, William, the present trainer to
the Duke of Bedford. Frank Butter was in his 38th
year. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well.—.Sanclay
