PARIS, Aug. 10.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes an account of
the reception of the Emperor at Troyes. In an-
swer to an address presented by the Mayor of the
town, the Emperor said :—" I would not pass
through Troyes without stopping
a moment, in
order to give a proof of my lively sympathy for the
people of the Champagne, who are animated by
such patriotic feelings. Last year I felt pleasure in
noticing the progress of industry in your province.
I urge you to continue it, for nothing to-day
threatens the peace of Europe. Have confidence in
the future, and do not forget that God protects
France."

GREAT FIRE EV SOUTHWARK.

THIS DAY.

At an early hour this morning a fire, attended
with great destruction of property, broke out on
premises about 300 yards in the rear of King-
street, Southwark. Besides consuming several large
hop warehouses, no less than ten or twelve other
buildings have been laid in ruins. The fire seems to
have commenced in a warehouse belonging to Mr.
'Russell, patentee of farinaceous food, &c., and
from thence rapidly spread to an adjoining
building in the occupation of a Mr. Drewett,
carpenter and joiner. The Horse and Groom
publichouse was next attacked, and three small
houses in Tennis-court. The fire then communi-
cated itself with the hop factories contiguous to
these buildings, and in a short time it was evident
that very little of their contents could be saved. A
number of land engines soon arrived, and though
the firemen set to work with a will, the fire con-
tinued to rage with great fury one at o'clock this
afternoon.

A curious example of how " law and order" are
observed in some parts of the north of Ireland waf
afforded at an investigation at Banbridge, reported
in the Northern Whig. In the month of June some
Roman Catholic missionaries visited the town, and
special services were conducted in the chapel up to
an advanced hour in the evening. The Orangemen
of the neighbourhood, hearing of the visits of the
missionaries, expressed their hostile feelings by play-
ing fifes and drums in front of the sacred building,
calling for the "holy fathers " in terms of ridicule,
and finally smashing the windows of the chapel.
A magisterial investigation into the occurrence,
having been rather tardily ordered by the Govern-
ment, was held on Thursday, and the Roman
Catholic priest was examined to detail the facts.
He had scarcely commenced his evidence, however,
when the deafening sounds of fife and drum, and
the shouts of a crowd in front of the court-house,
made him inaudible, and effectually stopped the
inquiry. The Crown solicitor and the magis-
trates protested that they never witnessed such a
scene, and that it could not occur out of Ireland. It
was stated that there were forty policemen in the
town, but they were powerless, it seemed, to pre-
vent the disturbance, which there was reason to
believe had been preconcerted for the express pur-
pose of baffling the inquiry. For two hours the
witness remained on the table, while the proceed-
ings were at a standstill. At length it was suggested
that the attorney for the persons who were accused
of the riot to which the witness was deposing, and
the defendants themselves, should go out and en-
treat their friends not to injure their cause by such
misconduct. The ambassadors succeeded, but when
order was restored there were no defendants in
court, and the magistrates were still obliged to sus-
pend the inquiry. After some time the absent par-
ties returned to court, and the examination was
resumed. The further hearing of evidence was ad-
journed until a future day, and the Crown solicitor
strongly urged the propriety of having military
present to release them from the tyranny of the
" drumocracy," as he bitterly called the disturbers,
and prevent a repetition of such an outrage on
the administration of justice.
