THE CALAMITOUS FIRE IN
GUILDFORD-STREET.

DEATH OF MR. MAYOW, THE SOLICITOR OF

EXCISE.

The Holborn division of the Fire Brigade have
been actively engaged in removing the ruins of Mr.
Farey's late premises, No. 67, Guildford-street, during
the past week.
In turning over the immense pile of burning
rafters, &c., a number of valuable models, con-
nected with machinery, hare been recovered, besides
a quantity of scientific works, which, although
much damaged, are not so extensively injured as to
be rendered valueless to the professors of science.
Perhaps not the least prized relic that has been
saved is a sliding side rule for measuring cylindrical
steam-boilers, &c., presented by the renowned Mr.
Watt, of Bolton, Lancashire, many years since, to
Mr. Farey, senior. The workmen continued their
labours up to five o'clock (Saturday), and at that
time they had completed their examination of all the
ruins, with the exception of those in the back parlour
and back kitchen, without finding the trace of any
human bones.

It will be recollected that Mrs. Auste's family,
residing at No. 68, Guildford-street, on the eastern
side of Mr. Farey's, took refuge in the house of
Mr. Mayow, No. 54, opposite, on the night of the
fire, and where they have since continued to re-
ceive the greatest kindness and hospitality.
Mr. Mayow, who has been so many years
known to the public as the chief solicitor of
Excise, was far advanced in years, and was on Satur-
day morning found dead in his bed. Mr. Mayow
was much alarmed on the night of the fire, and had
since been attended professionally by Dr. Latham.
Ills loss will be severely felt in the public department
of her Majesty's Excise, to which the deceased has
been for so lengthened a period such an useful officer.
Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the Fire Brigade,
made a close examination of the ruins on Saturday
morning, and expressed his decided opinion to be,
that the fire was occasioned by a hot air flue becoming
over-heated, and setting fire to the beam in the back
parlour. The deaths of the unfortunate persons he
attributes to the falling in of the upper stories,
through the insufficiency of the building, the timber
and joists, &c., having been, as he says, too light fur
so capacious a residence.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

On Friday, a commission de lunatic° inquirendo was
held at the Crown Inn, Twickenham, by Francis
Barlow, Esq., to investigate as to the sanity of Miss
Barbara White, a maiden lady, 55 years of age, the
sister of Lieutenant-Colonel White, and neice to the
late Sir John St. Aubin, residing at Selina Cottage,
Twickenham. Mr. W. James attended as counsel to
prosecute the inquiry on the part of the immediate
relations of the lady, and from his statement it ap.
peered that many years ago symptoms of insanity
began to exhibit themselves in the acts of Miss White,
which had become more decided on the decease of her
mother, who was burnt to death some years ago. At
her mother's death, Miss White became entitled to
the third part of 6,5001. and an annuity of 1001. a
year, payable out of the St. Aubin estates, and sub-
sequently to two small legacies, in addition. A pre-
vious commission had been issued in March, 1841,
without the consent of the immediate relatives of the
lady, and on that occasion the jury had found tha.
Miss White was of sound mind. The circumstances
of the case had since that time materially 'hanged,
particularly in regard to the property to which the
unfortunate lady was entitled, and which formed her
only source of income, and the mental delusion which
had previously existed :had now become so itrtmgly
developed as to render her perfectly incapable of taking
care of herself or her property, and unless some means
were taken for her protection, it waspoasiblesheinight
be made the dupe of some designing individual.
With respect to her income, the charge to which
he alluded was this, that she now refused to give any
receipts or vouchers for the money paid to her by her
cousin, Mr. tit. Aubin, Who was the receiver to the
estates out of which the annuity wits payable 1 the
consequence of which was that that gentleman re-
mained liable to the Court of Chancery for money
which he had actually paid, and acting under advice,
he had since declined to pay over to bliss White any
more money. ,The 6,600/, had been paid into the
Court of Chancery, and the lady's share invested in
Consols and transferred to her separate account, and
the result of her refusing to give any receipts or
vouchers was that she was was without money, and
subjected to very great inconveniences. Under these
circumstances the present writ was issued by Mi..
Little, of the firm of Little, Rickards, and Co., of
London, as the executor of one of the two brothers of
the lady, and as holding a power of attorney from the
other; and the present proceedings were taken at the
instance of her nearest relatives for the purpose of
throwing round her the protection of the Lord Chan-
cellor, who had, on the report of physicians sent to
examine her, directed this inquiry to be instituted,
notwithstanding the result of the previous investiga-
tion. The evidence which he should submit
to the jury would show that Miss White lived
alone in a cottage, which she had inhabited ever
since her mother's death, having a servant, who
did not sleep in the house, to wait on her in the
day time. That she occupied one room only, keeping
the other apartments locked up. That she laboured
under various delusions, one of which was, that seve-
ral persons designed to poison her, and mixed poison
with her food ; another, that she was subject to what
she termed the Jewish ordeal, a society or club formed
to persecute her. Then she fancied she heard voices
in her room when she was alone, and that there were
certain subterraneous passages leading from her house
to the Archdeacon's, and to the river, which were
used by her enemies to annoy her; and that persons
who were inclined to befriend her were, on leaving
her house, inveigled into a room in which was a chair
called a detaining chair, from which they could not
rise until they promised to abandon her cause, and to
accuse her of having occasioned her mother's death.

To show that she was perfectly incapable of managing
her affairs, he slynild prove that on one occasion an
a~ ion he.d been brought against her; upon another,
that a distress had been put into her house for rent;
and on a third, an execution had-been threatened by
the King's tax collectors, and that she had been quite
unable, such was the state of her mind, to give the
necessary instructions for her own protection. As
there had been no disposition of property, the date
from which she might be declared to have been of
unsound mind was immaterial ; any date the jury
might fix upon would answer the purpose of her
friends, viz., to place her under the protection of the
Lord Chancellor.

Elizabeth Murrell, who had been for the last
twenty months servant to Miss White, gave evidence
as to the various mental delusions mentioned by the
Learned Counsel and many others, of the same cha-
racter ; and Dr. Southey, M D., who had examined
the lady by order of the Lord Chancellor, and Dr.
M. Bury, her own medical attendant, both gave it as
their opinion that she was insane, and perfectly in-
competent to manage herself or her affairs. Some
other evidence having been gone into to show various
acts of insanity, Miss White herself was introduced
and examined. She described the various modes of
persecution to which she supposed she was subjected,
by means of the Jewish ordeal; the detaining chair;
the fatuous instrument which she said was used by
governments for secret purposes ; voices in her room,
and monkeys coining down her chimney and stealing
her food. She said the reason she had refused to
give receipts for the money which had been paid her
was, that Mr. St. Aubin wanted her to sign an ac-
knowledgment for 8001., whereas she bad only re-
ceived 4601.

The lady haying retired, the jury immediately
found that " Miss Barbara White was of unsound
mind, and incapable of managing her own affairs,
and had been so since January 1, 1844."

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, DEC.
to the majority of merchants and manufacturer. being
now engaged in taking stock, transactions in Foreign
Wools during the past week have been only incns"
siderable in amount, but the prices realised exhibit
somewhat of a rising tendency, especially these sorts
of which the market has recently become very bare.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. -97.--" The
manufacturers of both combing and clothing wools
purchase more freely than a few weeks ago, and price'
have an upward tendency.
WAIIEVIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 27.—We heve
again to report extensive operations, and a little
further improvement in the value of deep combing
warp wools, with more firmness in wool of all other
descriptions, both long and short.
LEEDS.—The transactions at our cloth halls tills
week have been to a greater extent in balk goods than
in any week during the last six or seven. prices
continue steady, but the manufacturers complain
heavily of the rate of profit. As usual, so near the
close of the year, there is little doing in finished
goods. The foreign houses are doing little, and few
buyers are now visiting the market; and business'
therefore, is dull in the warehouses.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.-- The closing
market with the year, which formerly was not kePts
has been fully as animated as for some time past, and
a general feeling prevailing that the worst is paste en
that piece goods have seen their lowest point, gives a
tone of firmness, and will probably induce the tong*
lecturers to change their recent policy, which is now
i
keenly felt by the operatives. The advanced price of
wool has made the spinners worse off, and they are
seeking improved prices for yarns, which on the
opening of the year it is generally expected will be
given, as the contracts for January will not be made
at December prices. There has throughout the wok
been a tolerably active demand for both combing and
clothing wools, and on all kinds an advance has been
fully established.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.--We have_ls
decidedly better feeling in our cloth market this week,
though the week preceding the new year is invary
ably a duller time than any other. Shirting' fir the
Chinese market are in great demand, and the inr,n
dearer ; other goods are quite firm, and even huoy.sm•
Yarns continue much the same in demand, and price
though, if anything, rather better to sell.---Leedg

Droitwich, belonging to J. Robeson, Esq., solicitor, s„n

discovery of the incendiary. Drinkwater, his innocence
being clearly established, was discharged by the Magi'•

and since that time the accuser, Bennett, upon wher,
the guilt of perjury seems to have hung like a des

Deposit, 11. 10s. per Share.
Th r.l proposed by this Company commences at Cowley-
bridge .11 the vicinity of the city of Exeter, uniting at that point
with tne Bristol and Exeter Line, traverses the centre of the
county of Devon, and the greet mining elistrict of Cornwall to the
town of Truro, whence it takes a southerly direction to, and ter.
ininates at, the port of Falmouth.
The line is integral between its termini, and will, by means of
the Bristol and Exeter and the Great Western Railways, connect
the port of Falmouth and the western counties with the metropolis
/and the chief manufacturing towns in the north of England.
The line was surveyed, at a great expense, in 1636, by the Lon-
don, Salisbury, Exeter, and Falmouth Railway Company, the pro-
rooters of which applied to Parliament in the session of 1,37 for
an Act of incorporation, which had, after a protracted and search-
ing investigation, the sanction and report of a Committee of the
House of Commons in its favour.
The present Company has, by an arrangement with the Share.
holders of the former, acquired the valuable plans, sections, and
other documentary evidence in support of the line, and it is thus
enabled to present an undertaking sanctioned by a Committee of
the Legislature—a feature which distinguishes it from all the rail.
Ways of recent projection.
The notices and deposits of plans requited by the Standing Or-
ders of the Houma of Lords and Commons have been perfected.

FAREWELL ODE TO 1844.
A.
Farewell to 'Forty-Four ! Another year
Has very nearly fin its career.
And lo ! the term whose sands are well nigh spent,
Is signalised by many a great e•ent,
Which Father Time, like some historian sage,
Has noted down, to till another page.
Farewell to 'Forty-Four ! With grateful hearts
Volte bid aditu, oh Is thus the year departs.
To this important era we may date,
Success in glorious streams, and triumphs great.
Prosperity has crown'd us more and more—
. A memorable year vr:.s 'Forty-Four!
Farewell to 'Forty-Four! But not farewell
To that success of which we gladly tell,
F r when the present season shall have pas',
MOSES and S.)N'S success, we trust, will last.
And, then, their mighty mart shall he display'd
The most astounding monument of trade.
Farewell to 'Forty-Four ! and many thanks
To public frier cl-' who form such nunfrous ranks.
MOSES and SON, with heart-felt warmth express,
Their inward gratitude for vast success;
And, in return for this, they promise more
Than what the public had In 'Forty-Four!
A WELCOME TO 1845.
Weic-rne to 'Forty-Five! May this he found
The happiest year that ever ran its round !
May young and old, throughout the coming year
In glad prosperity alike appear!
May trade and commerce happily revive,
And glorious'y distinguish 'Forty-Five I
Welcome to 'For ty-Five 1 Throughout this term
Oii,ES and SON will signalise their Firm,
Inventions and improvements shall appear,
Such as will rival each preceding year:
And v tat advantages shall all derive,
Throughout the coming year of 'Forty-rive.
Welcome to 'Forty-Five I May wet c crown'd
With bright'ning prospects,while it hastens round.
May show'rs of patronage incessant pour,
And quite eclipse the trade of 'Forty-Four.
And may the glorious House of MOSES stand
A universal wonder in the land.
Welcome to 'Forty-Five! Let all who hear
Unite in joyful welcomes to the year !
Let rich and poor combine in one loud chorus,
To welcome in the year which smi es before us.
For much it will unfold—and, when it closes,
You'll gladly give three hearty cheer s for MO ES.
