THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1844.

Charlotte Dalmas was next called as a witness ;
she had been previously sitting with her two other
sisters in a secluded part of the court, and when
she came forward to give evidence she excited
some curiosity. She stated that on leaving her father's
house, after he had absconded from Battersea, which
he did in consequence of his debts, she left in it a
copper, a sideboard, and a dresser, all of
which belonged to her father, but being in arrears
for rent they were left to satisfy it. Witness sold a
washing-stool, a clothes-horse, some knives, &c., to
the prisoner, but not the articles previously alluded
, to. She had offered him the copper for sale, but the
1 sum he tendered was so little she refused to take it.
Mr. PAYNTEE observed that he thought this a clear
case of felony, but as it was necessary to have the
evidence of Mrs. Lee, the agent of the prosecutor,
to prove that the prisoner was not authorised to enter
the house, he should remand the case until Wednesday
next. He consented to take bail in 401. for the ap-
pearance of the prisoner on that day.
In the course of the examination of Charlotte
Dalmas, a question was put to her as to whether she
knew where her father was when he absconded.
Before the witness could answer, Caroline Dalmas
rose up, and throwing her arms about, exclaimed,
" So help me God ! my sisters knew not where my
father was, and if I never move off this ground, I
was the only person entrusted by my father with
that knowledge."

EXTENSIVE FIRE.
On Saturday morning one of the most extensive
and destructive fires with which the west-end of the
town has for some years past been visited broke out
on the premises of Messrs. Horne, Thompson, and
Holland, coach and carriage manufacturers, No. 254,
Oxford-street. The premises in question are situated
on the south side of Oxford-street, between North
Audley-street and Park-street, and are very exten-
sive and capacious, extending backwards into North-
row, which runs from Park-lane into Queen-street pa-
rallel with Oxford-street, and on the south side of
North-row. Nos. 25 and 26 were a continuation off the
premises, which were used as the factory and work-
shops, and extended nearly to the backs of the houses
in Green-street, Grosvenor-square. The fire was
first discovered about four o'clock by a groom who
was sleeping in the apartments of Mr. Gooch, the
foreman at the factory, to which they are attached,
who, accidentally awaking, was surprised at seeing
a bright light shining in at the window, and on get-
ting up to ascertain the cause, found that the factory
was on fire. The flames appeared to him to be at
that time raging in the southern end of the factory,
nearest to Green-street, and were rapidly extending
themselves along the carpenters' benches on both sides
of the workshop on the first floor. He immediately
alarmed Mr. Gooch, who rang the large factory bell,
which speedily alarmed the whole neighbourhood,
and aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers, who
instantly began hurrying to the spot, while the police
were busily engaged in dispatching messengers
for the engines and in assisting in the re-
moval and protection of whatever property
could be saved from the burning premises. Twenty-two
carriages, valued at between 6,0001. and 7,0001., were,
by extraordinary exertions, rescued from the flames,
which had by that time spread themselves nearly over
the whole of the spacious building. The heat and
smoke was so intense, that all endeavours to save any
thing farther was considered both dangerous and fruit-
less. The engines which reached the scene of confla-
gration were those of the Baker-street station of the
brigade, and two belonging to the parish of St.
George, Hanover-square, and the brigade engine from
the station in King-street, Regent-street, which was
accompanied by Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the western
district, all of which were immediately got into ope-
ration. Shortly before five o'clock the roofs began
falling in, and the flames being acted on by the strong
south-westerly wind, which blew at the time, were
carried over the top of the blank wall in
Brown's-place to the houses on the opposite side, se-
veral of which immediately took fire, and there ap-
peared at that moment every probability that the
whole of the immediate neighbourhood would fall a
prey to the destructive element. The firemen, how-
ever, redoubled their efforts, and the flames were by
six o'clock sufficiently subdued to allay all fears of
extending further, although some of the engines
were continued in operation during the whole of the
day in cooling the ruins.
The whole of the factory is destroyed, with nearly
all its valuable contents, amongst which were a num-
ber of magnificent carriages, the property of noble-
men and gentlemen, with large quantities of valuable
materials and tools of every description, the value of
which cannot be at present ascertained. Messrs.
Horne, Thompson, and Holland, anticipate their loss
will amount to between 20,0001. and 30,0001., a por-
tion of which only is, we regret to say, covered by
an insurance in the Royal Exchange Fire Office. The
premises are the property of Thomas Williams, Esq.,
of Cowley-grove, near Uxbridge, by whom they are
also insured, in the same office. The premises belong-
ing to the firm on the north side of the North-row
are also extensively scorched and damaged by the fire,
but not to any great extent.
In Brown's-place, the houses Nos. 1,2, 3,4, and
5, the whole of which, with the exception of No. 5, in
the occupation of Mr. J. Palmer, were let out in
lodgings, are greatly damaged by fire and water, and
the furniture by removal.
The houses at the rear in Green-street have also
sustained some damage, more particularly No. 9, in
the occupation of Miss Ashton Smith, and No. 13,
occupied by Mr. W. Willan, through which the hose
of the engines were carried.
Nothing has yet been correctly ascertained as to
the origin of the fire, which is, however, believed to
have been purely accidental.

BRITISH SEAMANSHIP in a STORM

BOULOGNE, Nov. 13.—We have had here for the last
four or five days a succession of tempests almost without
example for their duration and their fury. Happily
there have been no wrecks in our immediate neighbour-
hood, but I heard this morning that many fishing
vessels have been driven ashore, with a melancholy lose
of lives, below Etables, not far from the scene of the
loss of the Reliance and the Conqueror, a year or
two ago.
At Boulogne the sea has been frightful, and has
nearly destroyed the whole of the solid sea wall at the
back of the Etablissement erected in 1840. It is not,
however, with the purpose of communicating events un-
happily occurring too generally and too frequently to
excite much interest, and which, occurring out of our
own island, have less than the common claim to atten-
tion ; it is not with this purpose that I write, but in order
to lay before the public in your columns the solution
of a problem of great importance, as I think, in the ad-
vancement of the science of navigation—particularly of
steam navigation.
At noon yesterday, "when the tempest was at the
highest (the sea wall at the Etablissement had just
fallen), I was on the Pont, taking leave of some friends
about to depart in the diligence for Calais, when I was
startled by a rush of some hundreds of persons, chiefly
sailors and fishermen, in the direction of the sea. This
was the more remarkable, as the rain was descending in
torrents at the time, and I concluded that some hapless
vessel had struck. Emerging from the shelter of the
Messagerie, I ran with the crowd, and soon ascertained
that the object attracting it was not a vessel ashore, but
a vessel in sight—an occasion of almost equal horror.
Indeed, both were regarded as involving the same cer-
tainty of destruction. Such was the intense interest
excited by the announcement that, notwithstanding the
sheets of rain descending, more than 1,500 persons had
in the course of a few minutes—l might say a few
seconds—assembled on the Eastern Jetty, and the scene
which they witnessed was assuredly one to justify their
excitement. The approach to Boulogne harbour, as you
know, lies between two long jetties about 60 yards apart,
and extending between dangerous_ sand-banks, some 600
or TOO yards in the sea. These jetties run pretty nearly
north and south, and that nearest to the Calais side is
called the East Jetty ; the other the West Jetty. The
West Jetty is somewhat the longer, and has a lighthouse
at the seaward end of it.
As the wind yesterday blew south and by west (the
worst wind in the Channel, as all sailors know), the
Western Jetty was exposed to the whole rage of the sea
—such a sea as few have ever seen, and was, for the most
part, hidden by the waves that rolled over it. It served,
however, as a protection to the East Jetty. Within a
few momnts after "a vessel in sight" was announced
by the rating of a flag, the Eastern Jetty was, as I have
said, covered with, at the very least, 1,500 persons.
The vessel that bad an attraction so powerful appeared
to be just outside of the dangerous bar, not more than
100 yards front the end of the Western Jetty. She was
struggling hard, but struggling gallantly, against the
tide, the tempest, and the current of an awful sea, to
gain an offing to the westward before making the attempt
to enter the harbour. Though so near, the vessel could
not be distinguished with any approach to certainty
through the thick rain. However, the opinion of the
crowd decided at once upon the vessel and the com-
mander. "No other vessel but the Princess Maude,
no other captain but Captain Monger, would dare to
face Boulogne Bay to-day." The conjecture was cor-
rect ; it was the Princess Maude and the gallant com
mander named. Whatever opinion, however, had been
formed of either ship or captain, the most painful
feelings of apprehension were excited by her situa-
tion for some time. It was long doubted whether
the great steam power of the vessel could win the offing
necessary to give her a free sweep in between the light-
house and the bar. " She will do it"—" It is impossible,"
ran from mouth to mouth in anxious whispers ; the pre•
vailing feeling was however, desponding. At length the
first great point was gained—the noble little vessel won
her way considerably westward of the lighthouse. Next
came a severer trial, to round into the harbour without
overshooting it, from the combined force of the storm,
tide, and sea ; for to overshoot the harbour would be to
go directly ashore. Having secured his offing, Captain
Monger brought his vessel about ; and, to the amaze-
ment of the timid and unskilful, spread a broad extent
of canvas, under the tremendous gale, bearing down upon
the mouth of the harbour with a rapidity perfectly ter-
rific. As the vessel passed the lighthouse, almost every
heart sunk under the impression that nothing could
check or divert her direct progress to the sands. A stifled
moan was heard through the crowd, when, as if by magic,
the sails dropped instantly, the vessel changed her course
full 90 degrees, and then shot up the harbour at the rate
of at least 15 miles an hour. The enthusiasm of the
spectators found expression in a loud cheer, which was
again and again repeated. The most striking circum-
stance in the whole of this magnificent scene, was the
total absence of everything that could be called accident,
either favourable or unfavourable. All was obviously
the necessary result of means coolly and accurately cal-
culated, and applied with the characteristic skill and
courage of a British seaman. Captain Monger knew
what his vessel could do, and he did not scruple to risk
the proof. Some naval officers of high rank and of great
experience, who witnessed the scene, do not scruple to
acknowledge that they for a time anticipated a very dif-
ferent result, and to confess, that no vessel of the old
construction, whether sailing vessel or steam vessel,
could have accomplished what the Princess Maude accom-
plished yesterday. No sailing vessel or old-fashioned
steam-vessel could have gained her offing against such
difficulties, as no vessel less sharp than the new iron
steamer could have been made to obey the helm with
such miraculous promptitude. This seemed to solve the
problem as to the best quality of steam-vessels, at least
of the smaller size. The sharp iron steamers are ma-
nifestly the best. In the hands of such a man as Cap-
tain Monger a sharp iron steamer is, in the very worst
weather,.perfectly safe—far safer than a London wherry
is in the best weather.—Correspondent of a Morning
Contemporary.

SECOND BURGLARY AT MR. WILLIAMS'S, AND CAP-
TURE OF ONE or THE BURGLARS.—Some alarm was
occasioned during the latter part of last week amongst
the inhabitants of Clerkenwell, in consequence of the
premises of Mr. Williams, soap-manufacturer, of
Compton-street, having been burglariously entered a
second time. About nine years since several daring
housebreakers obtained a forcible entry into Mr. Wil-
liams's premises, and were encountered by Mr. Shep-
pard, his clerk, who slept in the counting-house, and
who was inhumanly murdered by the villains. Every
endeavour at the time wag resorted to to trace the re-
treat of the murderers without success, and they have
eluded the vigilance of the police up to the present time.
From the period of the commission of the deed no per-
son has slept in the counting-house, but greater means
for securing the property deposited in it were adopted
by Mr.Williains, whose residence is apart from his place of
business. On Wednesday morning, however, it was dis-
covered by one of the workmen that the counting-house
had been again burglariously entered, and that the
clerk's desk had been rifled of its contents. Informesion
was immediately forwarded to the police, aru. Tespector
Barton and Sergeant Archer, of the G divi.,,sion, minutely
examined the premises, and agesrtained that the
burglars had broken -open the desks and removed the
keys deposited in them, and had cut out one of the
panels of the wainscoting, behind which was an iron
safe containing from 2,000/. to 3,0001, The lock of the
safe they ineffectually attempted to force open ; and, at
length, left the premises, taking with them two coats
and other trifling articles. Barton and Archer, after
most praiseworthy exertions, have succeedel in tracing
out and apprehending one of the burglars, named James
Stirling, at No. 1, Providence-place, Bishopsgate. They
found at his lodgings a pair of boots covered with soap-
ash and of peculiar shape, corresponding with the foot-
marks in Mr. Williams's yard. There were evidently
three burglars concerned in the robbery, but the oth'ls I
have hitherto escaped detection,
