HARWICH HARBOUR.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Captairk JERVIS moved—" That in the opinion of this
house it is the duty of her Majesty's Government, before
applying to this house for grants of money to construct
harbours of refuge, to take steps that the natural harbours
of refuge of this country be maintained." The hon. member
referred to a number of reports made to the Admiralty,
showing that with every long continuation of easterly winds
there was an extension of Languard Point, threatening
the access to Harwich Harbour, remarking that though
attention had been drawn to the fact so long ago as July,
1852, no remedy had as yet been provided. Regarding the
subject as one of very great importance he had written to
the Board of Trade, but was told that it was no business of
the Board of Trade, but of the Admiralty. The Admiralty
told him it was the business of the Treasury, and the Trea-
sury that it was in the department of the Board of Trade.
(A laugh.) Ho had, therefore, no alternative but to bring
the question forward in the house. He might be told that
it was not a question for the Government—that the town
should look after its own harbour; but Harwich had been
looked to from time immemorial as an important harbour of
refuge, and his constituents had no jurisdiction over the
harbour. The matter was ono of deep interest to the east
coast of England, and he trusted the Government would
take it into their consideration, and do something with a
view to remedy the evils complained of. He should not have
brought the question forward had it not been for the direct
authority of the Trinity House and of the I,ydrographer of
the navy that it was a matter that could not be delayed,:that
unless some steps were taken the harbour would be stopped
by a bar of sand, and then the cost of the remedy would be
so great that it would not be worth while to undertake it.
The cost of the work was estimated at only £15,000, and he
trusted that the Government would not grudge keeping the
harbour in its integrity at so small an expense when they
were asking Parliament to vote very large sums for artifi-
cial harbours of refuge,

Mr. M. GIBSON was sorry the hon. gentleman should
have been inconvenienced by the reference made from one
department to the other; but as his application was for a
grant of money, the Board of Trade thought, therefore,
that it was a more appropriate subject for the considera-
tion of the Treasury than for the department with which
he (Mr. M. Gibson) was connected. The Board of Trade were
quite alive to the importance of the question, and it would
be admitted by every one that the filling up of so valuable a
harbour of refuge would be a great national misfortune.
(Hear, hear.) He had heard it stated, however, that the
predictions which had been made were not likely to be ful-
filled to the extent that it was supposed, and that the access
to the harbour was not likely to be put an end to altogether ;
but no doubt it was possible that the access might be ren-
dered far more difficult than it was at present. The subject
should receive the most serious consideration of her Majes-
ty's Government. He quite admitted that it was a matter
of importance, and that the hon. gentleman had done good
service in bringing it under thenotice of the house. (Hear.)
He should not anticipate what the Secretary to the Treasury
was likely to say on the financial part of the question, but
this they knew, that estimates for engineering operations of
this character were not generally to be relied on, but that
difficulties arose in the progress of engineering operations
connected with hat bours involving a great outlay beyond
the original estimate. He hoped that full inquiry would
take place, and that means would be found to deal with the
difficulties of this case.

Capt. JERVIS, after the reply of the right hon. gentle-
man, expressed his willingness to withdraw his motion, and
The motion was withdrawn accordingly.
SUPPLY.—CIVIL SERVICE ESTIMATES.

The house having resolved itself into committee of supply,
Mr. PEEL proposed a vote of £38,214 for the expense of
maintenance and repairs of the royal palaces—the first vote
of the class " Public works and buildings."
Mr. CHILDERS drew attention to the form in which
these estimates were presented, and expressed his hope that
the system which had been applied to the army and navy
estimates would be extended to the civil service estimates.
Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the increase year after
year of the civil service estimates. In the last year of the
unreformed parliament the civil service estimates amounted
to £2,000,000, while this year the amount was £7,665,000,
that being £123,000 more than was required lad year.
'With regard to the vote before the committee, he did not
complain of the expense of the palaces occupied by her Ma-
jesty, but he wanted explanations of the items £2,750 for St.
James's Palace occupied by the royal household ; £3,627
for state rooms, chapels royal, and apartments occupied by
the royal household; £4,755 for Kensington Palace, with
the stables and out-buildings ; and £6,054 for Hampton-
court Palace.

Mr. PEEL said that comparison in the miscellaneous
votes could be fairly made before the year 1834, when seve-
ral new charges were transferred to these estimates. The
vote for the police alone made an addition of £lOO,OOO.
With regard to the comparison with last year, the census
vote alone was £127,000, which more than accounted for
the increase this year.

Mr. COWPER said the tree palaces referred to by the
hon. gentleman were not in the occupation of her Majesty,
but being royal palaces they had to be maintained. The
Lord Chamberlain and Lord Steward had offices in St.
James's Palace, there being no room for them in Bucking-
ham Palace. The palace of Kensington was in a dilapidated
state and required considerable repairs ; indeed, some por-
tions of it would have to be pulled down before long. He
was sure no one would grudge the money for the repair of
amonument of sucharchitectural beauty as Hampton Court.
The works carried on there were works of necessity. Of late
years, persons who got apartments in that palace, from the
bounty of the Queen, were the widows of officers in the
army and navy who had not the means of renting houses of
their own.
Mr. WILLIAMS observed that he could find the names
of only three widows of officers amongst those who were
provided with apartments in Hampton.court Palace.
The vote was then agreed to.
On the vote of 05,470 for the maintenance and repair of
public buildings,
Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the item of £4,200 for
supply of water to the Houses of Parliament and the foun-
tains at Trafalgar-square, also of the item of £9OO for the
Tithe and Copyhold Commission,and the increase of £4,855
for the maintenance of Holyrood Palace. He should take
the sense of the committee on the item of £6BO, the rent of
the house in the occupation of the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sion. He thought they were wealthy enough to pay the
rent themselves. He moved that the vote be reduced by the
sum of £6BO.

Mr. A. SMITH complained that so many items were
jumbled together in this vote, and recommended a better
classification in future. He also complained that the public
were paying high rents for houses on Crown property.

Mr: PEASE thought that the charge for the Ecclesiasti-
cal Commission was to have been removed from the esti-
mates. He understood the commissioners stated that they
had not asked for this money.
Mr. PEEL said he believed this money was not for the
rent of the house, but for the performance of duties which
were formerly performed by the Church Building Commis-
sion. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners stated that one-
fourth of their time was occupied on business that did not
properly belong to them, and it was under that calculation
that the sum was put down in the estimates.
Mr. WILLI•AMS said he should withdraw his amend-
ment, in the hope that when the house was more full he
should have a better chance of carrying it.
The motion was then withdrawn.

Mr. CHILDERS wished to know why there was a dis-
tinction made between the buildings appropriated to the use
of the Admiralty and the War Department. There was a
rent paid for the one, and not for the other. He thought
the votes of the public departments should be put together.
By that means they would be better able to ascertain the
whole cost of each. There was the large sum of £7OO a. 3 ear
paid for the Stationery-office, which had been built entirely
at the public expense. That seemed to him a very large sum.
_ _

Mr. LAYARD called attention to the item of £340 for the
removal of a hideous piece of upholstery, known as the
Wellington Burial car, from Marlborough-house to the
crypt in St. Paul's Cathedral. He thought it would be
better to make a present of it to Madame Tussaud.

Mr. DISRAELI wished to know what had become of

dralwline aCtlithAelißnstlaAnNce
Mr. COW PER observe i that the Admiralty had its 0
wn
department of works. The two houses which had been re-
ferred to were sublet, so that in reality the rent was paid
by the tenants and not by the public. He thought it was
very desirable to keep the departments of Woods and Works
separate, and not blend their accounts as had been sug-
gested. As 0 the Duke of Wellington's funeral car, he con-
sidered that though it had been exposed to great criticism
as a matter of taste, it was an object of great interest to a
large portion of the public, as was proved by the numbers
that had visited it at Marlborough-house. It did seem to
him, therefore, that connected as it was with the memory
of that great man, the Duke of Wellington, it would be de-
sirable to place it in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral, near
hie Teraina, The mean would be very light, and would be

confined to preparing a place at the entrance to the crypt
for its reception.
Mr. BLACKBURN begged to move that the item be
Atruck out.

Viscount PALMERSTON hoped the committee would
not agree tot he amendMent. As to the taste of the car the
Government were not responsible for that; but no doubt
the noble lord opposite (Lord I. Manners) would be ready
to defend it. (Laughter.) Whether, however, it was in good
or bad taste, the car was a relic of the Duke of Wellington,
and he hoped that the house would not let it be broken up
for the sake of this trifling vote. (Hear.)
Lord J. MANNERS always trembled when questions of
taste were submitted to the house, and he would not say a
word on the subject. He agreed, however, that it would
not be right or proper that the car should be broken up,
and he thought that the right hon. gentleman had made
a very wise selection of a place in which to deposit it.
Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know whetheranybody could
see the car in the place in which it was proposed to place
it. If they could it would certainly be a great hardship.
(Laughter.)
Mr. COWPER said it would certainly be placed where
nobody could see it—(laughter)—except those wllo wished.
At the same time he must say that there was a good deal
of difference of opinion as to the car as a work of art.
There were many persons that thought it a highly credit-
able effort.

Mr. BLACKBURN protested against the notion that
any feeling of disrespect to the memory of the Duke of
Wellington had prompted his motion. On the contrary, he
did not see why the one failure of the public funeral should
be perpetuated. (Hear.) Everyboiy admitted that it
would have been infinitely better that the coffin should
have been borne upon a common gun carriage ; and in fact
the disrespect to the memory of the duke seemed to him
to be connecting it with such an abominable abortion.
(Hear, hear.)

The committee divided :
For striking out the item
Against it
Majority .
The item was therefore retained.

Mr. WILLIAMS now moved that the vote be reduced
by £6BO, the rent of the house for the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners.

Sir G. C. LEWIS defended the vote, in which, he said,
the house had acquiesced for many years.
After some discussion, in which Mr. Pearce, Mr. Black,
Mr. Disraeli, and other members took part, Mr. Williams's
amendment to reduce the vote by the sum of 0680 was ne-
gatived without a division.
The vote was then agreed to.
On the next vote, for furniture and fittings for public
offices,

Mr. A. SMITH moved that the vote be reduced by the
sum of £10,400 for furniture for the South Kensington
Museum, in order that when they came to the vote for that
department they might deal with the whole question at
once.

Mr. COWPER replied that the present was the proper
time for deciding upon the question of furniture, and he could
assure the committee not only was there greater economy
practised at the Kensington Museum than at any other
public department, but this sum would be most economi-
cally spent.
Mr. LAYARD hoped that the hog.• member would not
press his motion for a reduction.

The committee then divided, when the numbers were—
For the motion
Against
Majority —ll5
The vote was then agreed to.
On the vote of £93,293 for the Royal parks and palaces,
Mr. BLACKBURN complained that the vote was in
excess upwards of £13,000 beyond that of last year, and
hoped some explanation would be given why that occurred.
Mr. 'WILLIAMS called the attention of the committee
to the fact that £24,000 was spent on the pleasure gardens
at Kew, beyond the amount charged last year, and he
wished to know why that occurred.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE complained of the manner in
which the estimates were made up, so that the committee
could hardly understand them. The Public Moneys Com-
mittee made several excellent recommendations with re-
spect to the preparation of estimates, but he was sorry to
say the present Government had not adopted any of them.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not
understand why the hon. gentleman who last addressed
them could talk of the Government deluding the house
in bringing forward these estimates. He remembered in
1858 those who were then in office said tho miscellaneous
estimates of that year were less than that which preceded
it; but the fact was, the balances in the Exchequer were
overdrawn to such an extent, that enough of money was
not left to carry on the public service. The present Go-
vernment, he could assure his hon. friend, followed strictly
the recommendations of the Public Moneys Committee
whenever it was practicable, and would continue to do so.
The expenditure under the miscellaneous estimates had
never equalled the amount voted. He was ready to admit
that the estimates ought to be framed upon the principle
of keeping to the outside of the anticipated expenditure,
but he did not know that the house ought to vote 202
estimates with 202 margins; the effect of which would be
to vote a very considerable sum in excess of what was needed.

The vote was then agreed to.
On the motion that a mini not exceeding £04,692 be
granted to her Majesty, towards completing the works of
the new Houses of Parliament,
Sir H. WILLOUGIIBY said this was rather an old
story. (A. laugh.) Every one knew that the original esti-
mate for completing those houses was £700,000, but they
had now run the expenditure up to £2,500,000. The ex-
penditure went on for a long time, until it was at length
put a stop to, in a great measure, by the late Sir William
Molesworth, who brought the wasteful expenditure to a
conclusion. It appeared a strange thing that the House of
Commons could not control the expenditure of their own
houses. It was owing, he believed, to als ant of good faith
in the executive. He wished to have an explanation from
her Majesty's Government how it was that they now came
to ask for a sum of £21,500 in addition to the gross sum,
and after it was said on former occasions that a final grant
of £121,000 would be sufficient tg complete the houses,
(Hear, hear.)

Mr. COWPER said no doubt it appeared on the face of
the estimate that the sum of £20,000 bad been all that was
spent beyond the estimate of Sir Charles Barry in 1859. He
agreed with the hon. baronet that this was a matter very
n.uch to be deplored ; but he thought, if he looked rightly
at the matter, that he would see that those houses ought to
have been built by contract ; but instead of taking that
course, the course taken was to give a general authority to
the architect, who was not to come under any sufficient con-
trol of the Board of Works. He was responsible to a com-
mittee of the House of Lords and of the House of Commons,
and he had, in fact, many masters. Every one grieved that
those mistakes in the arrangement of this matter occurred.
With regard to the proposed vote, he admitted it was not
satisfactory. But since Sir C. Barry had been removed
from the scene, they could not obtain any information. One
thing he might add, that the works were absolutely neces •
sary, and it was desirable that they should be completed.

Mr. WILLIAMS said ho found the sum of £3,200 put
down for statues of the early English kings. He should
like to know who they were. (A laugh.) They had already
on the outside of the building kings from the very earliest
periods of our history, and in St. Stephen's Hall there
were statues of Hampden and other distinguished men,
but where was the statue of the man who had laid the
foundations of our liberties—the Lord Protector Cromwell ?
(Laughter.) He regretted that the mention of that name
should have excited laughter on the opposite benches—
(hear, hear)—because the people out of doors were anxious
to do honour to the greatest man of his age, and one whom
all since had agreed to glorify. The time had, he thought,
come when a statue should be raised to his memory. (Hear.)

Mr. BOUVERIE observed that the First Commissioner
of Works had stated the sum now asked for would com-
plete all the works on hand, but there was a great gap at
the corner of the Clock Tower, which was intended in the
original plan of the late Sir Charles Barry to be filled up
by an elaborate screen, to give a magnificent courtyard at a
cost of £900,000. What he wished to ask was, whether
that plan had been abandoned, or what was intended to be
done with that gap ? Had the Government. in fact, any
plan or specification for the completion of the building, and
any estimate of the cost.
Mr. G. A. BENTINCK complained of the decaying
state of some of the frescoes, and especially that Mr. Dyce
had received £5,000 for frescoes in the peers' robing room,
and had as yet executed very little of the work undertaken.
He thought it was due to the country that it should be
known whether any steps had been taken to enforce the
completion of these engagements.
Mr. LAYARD believed that one great cause of the decay
of the frescoes arose not so much from the badness
of the materials used in painting them as from the badness of
the plaster on which they were painted. At Munich the fres-
coes had lasted for twenty years without decay. The old
Italian frescoes had lasted for centuries, and it was natural
that the artists of this country should hesitate until some
better material was provided to paint upon.
After a few words from Colonel Dicks° N,

Mr. COWPER said a committee was now sitting, as to
the stone of which the Palace was built, composed of very
learned persons, and he expected that they would shortly
report. With respect to the remarks of Mr. Layard, he
believed that the damage to the frescoes arose as much
from the materials used in painting as the materials for the
wall. (Hear, hear.) At all events he believed that the
recent paintings did not show such signs of decay as those
first painted. (Hear, hear.) But with respect to those
paintings there was a balance of money in hand already
voted, and the artists were only paid in proportion to the
work executed, so that no vote was asked for this year on
that account. The vote now asked for of £20,895 was in-
tended to complete all those portions of the building of the
'louses of Parliament which were now in hand, and would
complete everything that required to be completed, but did
course

it should be left an open space, or in what way it should be
appropriated, Nothing in, that ROI Was Waded to fill

up the rough wall of the Clock Tower that was at present
left uncovered.

Mr. E. BALL wanted to know when the flag-staff would
be put up on the great tower; and he also wanted to know
when there would be a statue to Oliver Cromwell, who was
one of the greatest men of his time—(cries of " Oh," and
" Hear, hear")—and when monarchs forgot their promises
he was bound to say Oliver Cromwell did not. While he
admired the monarch who now reigned over them, he be-
lieved that there was a moral worth in the character of
Oliver Cromwell which no monarch ever had surpassed;
and he hoped, when a statue should be erected, that it
'would not be placed in an obscure situation. (Hear, hear.)
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wanted to know whether this
vote of £20,000 would cover all the expenses.
Mr. COWPER assured the committee that a statue of
Oliver Cromwell would be placed in the Houses of Parlia-
ment as soon as possible. As for the Royal Gallery, it
was intended to have a chronological series of the Sove-
reigns of this country, so as to give the names of every
ruler who governed it from the earliest period of their his-
tory.

Mr. GREGORY protested against having such a chro-
nological series as spoken of by the right hon. gentleman ;
and reminded the committee that last year they decided
that no such works should be performed. In order, there-
fore, to take the opinion of the committee on the matter, he
would move the omission of £3,200 intended for statues.
Lord CLAUD HAMILTON thought that no real Eng-
lishman ought to object to a statue of Oliver Cromwell
being placed in the Houses of Parliament; but he never
could consent to have a vote of public money passed for
that purpose.

Mr. STIRLING objected to the sum of £6,455 being
expended on furniture in the Houses of Parliament, and
wished to know how it was expended.
Lord J. MANNERS hoped it would not be left to the
discretion of the house to select the names of the Sovereigns
to whom statues were to be erected in the Houses of Par-
liament ; because if that were done there would be as great
a diversity of opinion as prevailed in the distribution of
the four seats now vacant.

Lord PALMERSTON said the hon, member was not
perhaps aware how difficult it was to form a committee.
It appeared to him that the site was an appropriate one
for works of sculpture. Well, then, what works of sculp-
ture were they to have? Would they have allegorical
statues ? Would they have works of heathen Danes ?
(Laughter.) Well, then, what would they have but
works to be selected from the history of England ? They
could not obliterate the history of England. (Laughter.)
Well, then, there was a certain number of statues to be se-
lected, and those statues would represent certain periods in
the history of England, and they were the statues of the
Sovereigns whose reigns were the most remarkable in that
history. He thought, then, that they ought to be left to
the committee, perhaps for the committee to be found fault
with and come under the control of the House of Commons.
(Laughter.)

The vote, after a few words from Mr. DILLWYN, was
agreed to.
The house then resumed.

EAST INDIA (HIGH COURTS OF JUDICATURE'

BILL.

On the motion that this bill, as amended, be considered,
Mr. BUTT moved, as an amendment to clause 4, page 2,
line 26, to insert the following clause :—" Every chief jus-
tice of any of the high courts shall hold his office during
good behaviour, and shall be removable upon an address
froth both Houses of Parliament. Provided always that
when any judge of the high courts shall be removed from
his office a copy of the warrant or other instrument remov-
ing him, together with a statement of the reasons for such
removal, shall be laid before both houses of Parliament by
one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State within
ten days after the issuing of such warrant, if Parliament
shall be then sitting, and if not, within three days after
Parliament shall next meet."

Sir C. WOOD objected to the clause, which was nega.
tived without a division,

Sir C. WOOD proposed the insertion of a clause, the ob-
ject of which was to secure the interests of existing judges.
Sir J. ELPHINSTONE moved as an amendment—
`• That any covenanted civilian who may be appointed or
transferred under this act, shall be entitled to receive the
same salary as any judge appointed under the act."

The SPEAKER said the hon. gentleman (Sir James
Elphinstone) could not move his amendment, as the charge
was one upon the Consolidated Fund, without the consent
of the Crown.

The amendment was then withdrawn, and the bill was
ordered to be read a third time.

Mr. MASSEY brought up the report on supply,' which
was agreed to.

INLAND REVENUE ACT.

Upen the bringing up of the resolution, on which io
found a bill on this subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the object of the proposed bill was to give effect to the Suc-
cession Act.

Leave was given to bring in the bill in question.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AMENDMENT

(No. 2) BILL.
This bill was read a second time.

WINDSOR SUSPENDED CANONRIES BILL.
Sir G. C. LE WIS, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said that these canonries had been established in the
timo of Edward 111. Out of eightcanonries now suppressed
and the proceeds of which were payable to the Ecclesiastical
Commission, he proposed to take two, and divide the pro-
ceeds of one among the Military Knights, and those of the
other among the parishes of the tos% n of Windsor.

Lord J. MANNERS thought that words ought to be in-
troduced giving the living of Wraysbury a preference over
the two livings of the town of Windsor.

Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the bill as entirely opposed
to the spirit of recent legislation.

Mr. AYRTON said that the bill was a strange contrast
with the conduct of the Government in reference to cathe-
drals, no portion of the expenses of which, incidental to the
performance of Divine worship were allowed ; for it pro-
posed to give money to these military gentlemen who had no
claim to it whatever, as it was originally set apart to religi-
ous purposes.

Mr. HOPE denied that this was the case. The knights
were entitled to the very small allowance for decent main-
tenance, which it was proposed to give them, namely a
shilling a day and six yards of broadcloth a year, and that
was the source from which it was to be applied.
Mr. DEEDES said there were many other chapters that
had equal claims to that of M indsor.
The bill was read a second time.

COUNTY SURVEYORS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL.
The committee on this bill was resumed.
Mr. CARDWELL stated that he had withdrawn the
superannuation clauses, and he hoped the bill in that state
might now be allowed to pass through committee.
The bill then passed through committee, and the house
resumed.

The Courts of Justice Building Act (Money) Bill was
read a second time and ordered to be committed.

The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes (Ireland)
Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Local Government Supplemental Bill was read a
third time and passed.

The Enclosure (No. 2) Bill was read a second time.
The house adjourned at five minutes past two o'clock.

MR. SPURGEON.—During the service on Sunday
forenoon Mr. Spurgeon stated that the excitement of a visit
to Swansea and Merthyr Tydvil, where he had during the
past week addressed large multitudes, had brought on a
" tremulous feeling," accompanied by indisposition, from
which he is now suffering. His medical advisers had in-
formed him, that unless he abstained in the meantime from
all labour beyond that connected with his own chapel he
might lose his voice for ever. He had resolved, he said, in
consequence to preach nowhere but in his own chapel, and
he begged his friends not to countenance any attempt to in-
duce him to break through his determination.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Summer Season.—All who have a due regard to their well-
being will at this season use some cooling purifying reme-
dies, or probably fever or inflammation will endanger their
lives. Holloway's Ointment, well rubbed over the liver
and stomach, exerts the most wholesome influence over
both organs; and when rubbed on the back and chest
operates with wonderful celerity and success in removing
all congestion of the lungs, in allaying irritation of the air
passages, in cooling and purifying the blood, and equalising
its circulation through the frame. It is advisable for the
invalid to take Holloway's Pills at the same time ; they
assist the curative powers of the Ointment, and expel all
bidden impurities from the body.

THE GREAT FIRE IN TOOLEY-STREFT:

This fire still continues to make fearful havoc. I
Everything has hitherto been done with water to
extinguish the fire, but without the least avail. A
number of gentlemen, at the direction of some of
the committee of the London Fire-engine Establish-
ment, made some experiments last night for the
purpose of trying quite a different means of extin-
guishing the flames. A gallon of sulphuric acid
(oil of vitriol) was mixed with half a ton of water,
and then discharged through the hose of the fire-
engine upon the flames, but the effect upon the fire
was nil, as far as decreasing its violence, but on the
contrary, it appeared to add fresh vigour to the
flames.

Another experiment, we understand, is to be made
this day, under the direction of Mr. Warrington,
of Apothecaries' Hall with some kind of chemicals,
but what will be the result, of course it is impossible
at present to tell. In the meantime the flames not
only engulph the different warehouses, but they rise
so high as to threaten with destruction the parish
church of St. Olave's and sundry cheese warehouses
close at hand, having a frontage in Tooley-street.
Several severe explosions of saltpetre took place
during the night, coupled with the bursting of casks
of tallow in the vaults. The rumbling noise made
by the crackling of the arches, and the boiling of
the water as the heated tallow rolls into the Thames,
is such as cannot with accuracy be described.
Even the firemen now look upon the fire with
astonishment, there being little chance of the con-
flagration being extinguished unless more than
ordinary means are used.
