THE MISSING PACKET SHIPS.

(From the Liverpool Albion.)
The missing packet ships, United States and England,
the former of which sailed from Liverpool on the 26th
of November, the latter on the Ist of December, conti-
nued, when the last accounts left New York, to be the
theme of deep anxiety on the part of the owners and the
public. Both the vessels had valuable cargoes. One of
the cabin passengers on board of the United States was
the Rev. Mr. Tulloch, who fled from Scotland after com
mating forgery, and after whom an officer was dispatched
by the steamer ; had he reached his destination he would
have been immediately arrested. We subjoin a list of
the crew and passengers on board of each vessel, their
fate, we fear, heint, no longer problematical :

FIRES.—Last night, shortly before midnight, a
fire broke out on the premises in the occupation of Mr.
R. llurst, trimming manufacturer, 10, Quaker-street,
Spitalfields. The building in which the outbreak oc-
curred is a substantial erection situate next door to the
Castle public•house. Flatnes were first perceived issu-
ing from the windows of one of the lower floors under-
neath the workshops by police-constable Wright, 52 H.
He instantly gave the alarm, and the family escaped
from the burning building. Information of the outbreak
was immediately forwarded to Mr. Braidwood, at the
Watling-street station, and in a short space of time
engines from Watling-street, Jeffery-square, White-
cross-street, and other etations of the brigade, were upon
the spot. For some time, although a plentiful supply of
water was furnished to the engine belonging to Messrs.
Truman and Hanbury's establishment, which was first at
the fire, the flames continued to progress, and it was
with difficulty that the fire was got under, and pi evented
from extending to the adjoining buildings. How it
originated could not be ascertained. Before the above
fire was extinguished information was received by the
firemen that another outbreak had occurred upon the
premises occupied by Mr. Freeman, furniture broker,
Crombie's-row, Ci mmcrcial-road East.. A valuable
stock was principally destroyed by fire and water. Cause
of occurrence unexplained. Insurance unknown.
MANCHESTER.—The corporation have completed
negotiations with Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., for the pun.
cba,qe of the manorial rights of the town, which are esti-
mated to be worth •18,;551. The average proceeds for
the last few years have been 9,2141. 16s. Bd., •arising
from tolls, properties, &c. The council, after mature
deliberation, have agreed to pay Sir Oswald Mosley the
sum of 200,000/. for the whole of his manorial rights and
properties, and to mortgage them for the interest of the
amount, which is to be paid at the rate of 31 par cent.
per annum. They have also agreed to pay off the prin-
cipal by instalments of not less than 4,0001, and of not
more than 6,000!. per annum. By this arrangement it
is calculated that the tolls, chief rents, &c., will realise
1,000!. a year more than the sum required to pay the
interest.

Mr. Stephenson, private secretary to Sir Robert
Peel, has been appointed messenger to the Order of the
Bath, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Pulman. The
more proper designation of the office would be that of
reeeirer-geueril and treasurer to toe Order.—Observer.
