THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SE-PTEMBER 7, 1844.

The decision of the House of Lords in the case of
,he "Irish conspirators"—as they have been called
for the last six months—will, we trust, go far to re-
move the notion so long entertained in Ireland, that
that country had nothing to expect from the justice of
England. The highest Court of Judicature in the
Empire has now proved to demonstration that this
notion is an unfounded one. Justice has been done to
Ireland, and common sense asserted its supremacy by
the unconditional release of men who ought never to
have been found guilty. The news of the decision of
the House of Lords occasioned a great sensation
throughout Dublin the instant it reached that city; the
decision was evidently an unexpected one, and in their
first surprise people seemed scarcely to know whether
they were justified in giving credit to it or not. By
this time the auspicious intelligence must be generally
diffused throughout the sister country; and are we
indulging in too favourable an anticipation, if we say
that it is likely to moderate much of the ill-feeling
and distrust that of late years Ireland has expressed
so decidedly towards England ? Whether it will have
that effect or not, we cannot undertake to say with
confidence; but we hope it will, and moreover we
hope that it will tend in some degree to check the pro-
gress of the Repeal question, by convincing Irishmen of
all classes that England is by no means such an inve-
terate enemy to their natural interests as they hsd
imagined. Meanwhile, in what light will Mr. O'CoN-
NELL regard this important decision, which unbars
the gates of the Richmond Penitentiary, and leaves
him free once again to rove with his gun and
his dogs over the mountain steeps of Derrinane,
or listen—to use his own favourite poetic phrase—
to " the murmur of the Atlantic wave that rolls in
unbroken from the free coast of America." 'Will he
regard the decision' with lofty indifference,
or with eager exultation ? Will he be
stimulated by it to make fresh exertions in the
cause of Repeal, or will he quietly lay by for a
while, watch the progress of events, and be guided by
circumstances, ready to renew his agitation the in-
stant he discovers that nothing is to be hoped for
Ireland at the hands of the Conservative Ministry ?
If he be wise, the latter is the course he will adopt,
for Government has already led people to believe that,
during the recess, they will be busy with some reme-
dial measures for Ireland, which they will take the
earliest opportunity of bringing forward next session ;
and it would be scarcely just or fitting—notwith-
standing that they have been so tardy in coming to
some determination on this point—to which, by the
bye, they have been brought evidently less from in-
clination than from the pressure of inexorable ne-
cessity ; it would scarcely, we say, be just or fit-
ting in Mr. O'CONNELL to throw any obstacles in
the way of Government's remedial measures by con-
tinuing the vigorous agitation of the Repeal question
By so doing, he will not only in some degree be
crippling the movements of Ministers, but be fur-
nishing them also with an excellent plea for backing
out of their projected remedies, in case—ii is by no
means impossible—they should be smitten with a
sudden fit of decided Toryism. The most prudent
game that Mr. O'CONNELL can play at the present
juncture, is to rest quietly on his oars, and vigilantly
watch the direction that events are taking. If these—

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.
This morning, shortly after two o'clock, the whole of
th,) southern part of London was thrown into a state of

fire.

sion—be unequivocally adverse to Irish interests

' The premises in which the fire originated was in the
occupation of Mr. Cleave Hooper, an extensive tanner
and factor, situate in the Spa-road, Bermondsey. The
principal building was a warehouse, entirely constructed
of wood, termed a barkbarn, having an altitude of 80
feet. It. was 60 feet in depth and 100 in length. This
was adjoined by the engine and boiling-house, extensive
drying lofts, also built of wood, the area in front forming
the tan-pits, being corered by an immense roofing.
The fire appears to have been discovered at a few mi-
nutes after two o'clock by the police, but before the con-
stables had time to communicate the discovery, the
n
flames burst out with frightful violence, encircling the

arrived, but some time elapsed before it could be brought
into operation. Before then, however, an engine from
the brigade station in Southwark-bridge-road, under
the charge of Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern
division of the establishment, and was immediately fol.
lowed by the
engine
from Tooley-street station. In
addition to the boiling and engine-house, the fire had
extended along the whole line of drying lofts and work-
shops, to contiguous property of the same class belong.
ing to Mr. llugman, also a tanner. The engines of the
brigade, the moment they arrived, were supplied by a
good stream of water from the plugs. The firemen
used the utmost expedition in getting to work, their
attention being wholly directed to the preservation of the
warehouse, or bark barn ; the flames, however, beat
over from the opposite direction, and attacked the gable
end of the building, which instantly ignited. By three
o'clock the whiile biady of the warehouse was one solid
mass of fire, and the flames rose, in a huge bulk, to an
amazing altitude. A number of other engines of the
brigade had by this time reached the scene of desolation,
and were arranged in the best possible positions by Mr.
Braidwood, the superintendent. Unfortunately the sup-
ply of water was so diminished by the great number of
engines got early to work, that very few could even-
tually be kept in play. These were judiciously brought
to bear on the remaining portion of Mr. Hooper's pre-
mises. The flames in that direction were stopped without
doing much damage to the adjoining building.
The conflagration, however, had communicated to two
stacks of tan in the yard at the back of the tan-pits ;
thence to the stabling, and lastly to another large bark
warehothe at the back of Mr. Hooper's bark barn, then
burned down the property of Messrs. Easton, tanners and
factors, approached by the same inlet as that which led
to the premises of Mr. Hooper. Immediately the disco-
very was made, two engines were taken round and got to
work, and all.possible exertions were made to stop the
further progress of the fire. This was accomplished as
far as had reference to the outside of the bark stored
there ; but the fire having penetrated the heart of the
immense pile, it still continues to burn, and it is sup-
posed that it will continue to do so for several days to
come,

if. it be made undeniably manifest that Ministers can
do nothing, and will do nothing fur the welfare
of the sister country, then it will be time enough to
renew the agitation for Repeal—an agitation which
is only justifiable when it is shown to be the last re-

source of national despair. But to agitate that ques
tion just now, when the Ministerial plans are incom.
plete, and may possibly, when matured, turn ou
to be much more efficient than was anti

cipated—what is this but. to refuse fair
play to Government, and in some degree to
incapacitate them from satisfactorily accomplishing
that which, nevertheless, you most wish they should
accomplish ? By delaying the agitation of Repeal
for a season, Mr. O'CoNNEu deprives Ministers of

every plausible pretext of backing out of their reme•
dial projects; he gives them an opportunity of show-
ing their faith by their works, and at the same time

he satisfies that love of fair play which is a conspi
cuous feature in the English character.

Madrid journals of, the 30th ult. have been received.
According to letters of the 17th of August, some
of them received at Gibraltar from Oran, the Moors
were again assembling an army on the frontiers, near
the camp of Marshal BUGEAUD. who, it is said, had
ordered fresh reinforcements to join him from Oran.
This, however, is very improbable. Intelligence from
Cadiz to the 26th had reached Madrid, but no men-
tion is made of the Prince de JOINVILLE and the
French squadron. 'We are therefore to infer that a
paragraph which appears in some of the Paris jour-
nals, announcing the Prince's arrival there on the
24th, is incorrect.

Intelligence of the acquittal of Mr. O'CoNNELL
and his fellow-prisoners was received in Paris by
telegraphic dispatch, on Thursday, and excited uni-
versal joy. The Speech of the QUEEN, and the result
of the deliberation in the Cabinet Couricil on the
Otaheite affair, were looked to with much interest.
The article put forth by the Times of Tuesday, an-
nouncing the probable settlement of the misunder-
standing between the two countries, had been re-
ceived by only one journal ; and, as far as we can
learn, had given much satisfaction to the friends of
peace. Whether the manner in which the affair has
been arranged will please the war party, is another
matter. All the articles in the Opposition, and some
of the Government journals on Tuesday, were written
in the belief that the ultimatum of the French
Government would be rejected. The Globe, M.
GUIZOT.S paper, is an exception, and contains an
article which leaves no doubt that it had received
some communications which could be depended on.
That journal says

Up to ten o'clock the fire was still raging, although it
had a considerable time previously been so far checked,
as to guarantee that it would extend no further.
The amount of property destroyed was currently re-
ported to be at least 20,000/., but at present, of course, we
have no means of obtaiking a real estimate.

KENNOWAY---SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Russell,
of Coul, and his wife were proceeding to Carriston House
to dinner, on Tuesday last, the wind blew back the
winkers of his horse, when the animal took fright and
ran of at a tremendous pace. Messrs J. Fernie and
William Ballingal were on the road before, and bound
for the same place. On seeing Mr. Russell's gig coming
forward at such a rapid rate, Mr. Ballingal drew off into
a field, and Mr. Fernie drew his gig to the side of the
road, and leaped out. Mr. Russell, having lost the corn.
mand of his horse, could not guide it past Mr. Fernie's
gig. They came in contact, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell
were thrown out. Mrs. Russell had her corar-bone
broken and two ribs ; and Mr. Russell was himself a
good deal bruised.—Fife Herald.

" Our readers know that we have never ceased to
believe, not only in the preservation of peace between
France and England, but also in the maintenance of good
harmony and a cordial understanding between the two
Governments. We still have the same confidence, and,
indeed, adhere to it more firmly than ever. As the
question becomes stripped of its extraneous complica-
tions, in proportion as the men who have to resolve it
are relieved from the pressure made upon them by the
Chambers and the journals, they have drawn nearer to a
mutual understanding, and daily made steps to concilia-
tion ; and, we venture to say, that the incident which
has so much occupied the public mind is on the point of
receiving that solution which is so earnestly desired by
all the friends of order and peace in both countries.
We are bound to congratulate the two Governments on
the good sense they have shown in suffering themselves
to be guided, not by an exaggeration of the point of
honour, but by a calm, intelligent, and elevated ap-
preciation of the serious interests of two great nations,
in whose concord is involved the peace of the world.

" The Prince de Joinville was at Cadiz on the 23d
ult. He was to embark in the Pluton steamer to pro-
ceed to Oran, where Marshal Bugeaud is to wait for him.
He was to go from that place to Bona, to visit the Duke
d'Aumale, and thence to return to France by Toulon. A
letter from this town of the Ist states that all the officers
of the navy were ordered to be ready to receive the
Prince, who was expected from one moment to another.
The Sub-Prefect had convoked the Municipal Council
extraordinarily to deliberate on the measures to be taken
to give his Royal Highness a fitting reception."

The Frankfurter Journal gives the following from
WTilna, 27th ult. :
" Notwithstanding all that has been done in favour
of the Jews, on the frontiers of Russia and Poland,
their translation is decided upon as the only means of
maintaining the system of exclusion and the law which
protects it. There are comprised in this measure
100,000 Israelites. It is true that the richer Jews have
received permission to sell their landed property, and
fix their residences where they wish. This is deemed
a favour, but it is in truth an illusion ; for the sale of
their estates being a forced one, they will have great
difficulty in finding purchasers at their just value, and
they at the same time must limit their new abodes within
one or other of the Governments which formed part of
the kingdom of Poland before the first partition."
" A letter from Graetz, in Styria, quoted by the "lugs.
burg Gazette, states, that on the 26th ult., at the moment
the troops were filing off before the E:nperor and Em-
press of Austria, four piers that supported an iron rail-
way near her Majesty fell down, and killed two men and
injured several others, amongst whom were two captains,
very severely.
" A letter from Copenhagen states that the Russian
fleet took its departure from Elsinore on the 26th ult.,
passed Copenhagen in the afternoon, and entered the
Baltic.
" The National asserts, that in the Morocco affair,
France has manifestly been the dupe of Abderrahrnan

SIR ROBERT AND LADY SALE.--These distin-
guished individuals arrived in Londonderry on Tuesday.
Immediately on their debarkation they wero received by
a large number of respectable persons on the quay with
cheers and other demonstrations of respectful welcome.
They had been accompanied from Portrush by Sir R.
Biteson, Castrues ; Col. Cairnes, K.G., and other gen-
tlemen, who interested themselves in the cordial wel-
come so deservedly prepared for the gallant general and
his lady. The worshipful the mayor (William Haslett,
Esq.), accompanied Sir Robert Sale to the house of John
Dysart, Esq., in Shipquay-street, to whom the hero of
Jellalabad is on a visit. The joy-bells rang merrily
through the day, and successive peals of artillery re- I
sounded from the walls at intervals. The vessels in
the harbour were decorated with flags in honour of Si]
Robert Sale's arrival. Sir Robert Sale will be enter
tained at as sumptuous a banquet as Derry can afford, of
Friday next, in Corporation Hall, where he will be not
by as many gentry of the district as the Hall will a:-
commodate, and a ball will be given in honour of Laly
Sale on the Tuesday evening following.
SIGNS or WINTER.—On Sunday evening a Irge
flock of wild geese passed over Chesterfield, on heir
way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire. Sich a
circumstance at this early period of the season was
hardly ever known ; and it is considered to forebde an
early and severe winter.—Notts Review.
It is stated that the wheats in this county, where
they have been got up hard and dry, weigh fron 63 to
651bs. per bushel, and the quality is bold and hadsome,
—ChelmVord Chronicle.
VAUXIIALL GARDENS.—The portals of the' Royal
Property" are to be opened once more, and fo the last
time, ere this splendid and favourite place of otertain-
ment is razed to the ground, it having been dereed that
it shall yield to the " march of brick and metar" now
proceeding at such a rapid pace in its vicinity, A grand
Indian equestrian entertainment is to be poduced on
Monday afternoon, under the direction ofMr. Catlin,
when the loways will be encamped in their' wigwams"
both night and day in the inclosure of the grdens known
as the " Waterloo Ground," and which, tom its now
being covered with grass, and surrounde' by trees and
shrubs, completely resembles an Indiar prairie. The
warriors and chiefs of the party
will spear on horse-
back, in saddles and trappings of their or; manufacture,

HORRIBLE MODE OF PUNISHMENT AMONG THE
CINGALESE.—One of the most dreadful punishments
devised by the cruelty of man'is practised by the Cinga-
lese, and some of our soldiers in former times were
victims of their atrocity. When any of these were
taken prisoners, they were stripped naked, smeared over
with wild honey, and tied to a tree in the vicinity of ant-
hills. Thus exposed, they were speedily covered by
myriads of these insects, which in a few days consumed
their flesh, and left nothing but white bones to bleach in
the sun.

tunda Theatre.
A REASON AGAINST A RAwAY.--One of the
hotel keepers at Bowness, Winermere, declared that
they did not want a railway to ti Lakes, " because it
will increase the number of visits, and they are already
so full they don't know what trio"—like the fat boy,
blubbering over his pudding, betuse he couldn't eat any
more !—Railway Record,

When Lord Nelson first appeared at the levee at
St. James's, after losing his arm, his Majesty, acknow-
ledging his great services, added, "but your country has
a claim for a bit more of you."—Life of Lord Eldon.
