FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL. Last evening,
about a quarter be!re nine o'clock, an. alarming fire
broke out in the extensive manufactory of Mr. 13artrum,
coach and omnibus builder, St: Mary's-_.trees, White-
chapel. The first alarm was given by a policeman on
duty. near the spot, who instantly despatched messengers
to the various fire' engine stations. The premises were
built entirely of wood, and, from this circumstance as
well as from the inflammable nature of the materials con-
tained in them, the flames spread with great rapidity.
The parish engine was first on the spot, and was quickly
followed by several others, when a good supply of water
being obtained, the firemen exerted themselves in a most
praiseworthy manner, and before ten o'clock all fears for
the surrounding property were at an end, the manufac-
tory being entirely destroyed. The workmen employed
' at Mr. Bartrutn's left the premises at eight o'clock, w hen
all was supposed to be safe. The building and stock were
insured.

TRUTH TO SHAME THE TORIES.—(From
the Revue des Deux Alondes.)—A question has arisen in
the English press, to know whether the merit of the
new Slavery Convention belongs to Lord Palmerston or
Lord Aberdeen. Justice makes us admit that the Con-
vention belongs to Lord Palmerston. France might
have signed it before the fall of Lord Melbourne, and
Would have signed it, had the French Cabinet not &
grudge against Lord Palmerston.
The City prisons never were so full as at the
present time. They are in consequence much inconve-
nienced, owing to there not being sufficient room in the
House of Correction. Yesterday morning there were
202 prisoners confined, whereas there was only sufficient
room for 150, and four or five prisoners were pit toge-
ther in one cell, where there ought only to be one con-
fined.

RESIGNATION OF MR. JUSTICE BOSAN-
QuET.—Mr. Justice Bosanquet, in consequence of conti-
nued ill health, has sent in his resignation to the Lord
Chancellor. His Lordship's successor, as one of the
Judges of the Conunon Pleas, is not yet known. In
Westminster-hall, yesterdiv, Mr. Sergeant Merawe-
titer, Mr. Law (M.corder ot London), and Mr. Sergeant
Goulburn, are each mentioned as likely to be raised to
the
Bench.
We regret to announce the decease of Bourke
Lambert, Esq., of Boyton, Wilts, Professor of Botany.
Ilis sudden removal front his friends in town, to a damp
lodging at Kew, with other distressing circumstances,
have accelerated the death of a gentleman who claimed
the best sympathies of the scientifie world, and the gene-
rous succour of his high and influential relations.
