THE DEATHS OF LORD AND LADY WALSINGHAM.

This morning, at a little after two o'clock, a most dread-
ful fire took place on the premises, 55, Upper Harley-street,
the residence of Lord Walsingham, by which calamity, his
Lordship became a victim to the flames ; and, from a fatal
accident, her Ladyship met with the loss of life. It ap-
peared that about two o'clock, having returned from a party,
Lord Walsingham retired to his bed-room in the two-pair
front, and Lady Walsingham went to her apartment, on the
same tier in the back. In a short time his Lordship's room
was discovered to be on fire, supposed to be from a habit of
reading by candle-light in bed ; since, from the rapidity
with which the flames extended, and owing to the infirm
state of body of Lord Walsingham, he was involved in the
common destruction of the devouring element. Lady Wal-
singham hearing of her imminent danger, unfortunately
took the momentary and fatal resolution of precipitating
herself from her apartment, by which accident both her legs
were fractured. She was taken to a room over the stables,
where immediate attention was paid to her, and Dr. Clarke
instantly arrived ; but, owing to the nature of the wounds
and the dreadful agitation of mind into which she was
thrown, very little hopes were entertained for her recovery;
and she breathed her last soon after five. Scarcely a vestige
of property was saved, and we lament to add, that the ser-
vants lost almost their all. Upon the first intimation of
the conflagration, the Protector, County, and several other
engines soon arrived ; when, after very active exertions, the
fire was extinguished, being confined to the building where
it originated, very little damage being done to the neigh-
bourhood.

Another fire took place in the course of last night. A
pawnbroker's house and shop near the top of Tottenham-
court-road, was burnt to the ground, and all his property
destroyed.

MEXICO.

TNT LATE GENERAL GITERNERO.—A letter to the
Aditors of the Daily Advertiser gives the following parti-
eulars of the manner in which General Guerrero was be-
niled :—" Guerrero was peacefully living in Acapulco,
•oustantly a stranger to the operations of the southern in-
,urgents of the country against the Government of Bugle-
!tient°, although obliged to live sheltered among them, that
he might not fall into the hands of his personal enemies, by
whom he had been declared to be an outlaw. But Busta-
inente and his ministers,. Alaman and Facio, thinking that
the destruction of Guerrero alone could cause that of all the
democratic part of the nation, formed, in January last, a
secret contract with a Francisco Pitaluga, then in Mexico,
captain of the Sardinian brig Colombo, anchored in Acapulco,
and an agent of the house of (iirolamo Rossi, of Genoa.
Pitaluga was then seen to depart again for Acapulco.
On arriving at Chipalcingo he was imprisoned, (probably
ID virtue of a previous plan concerted secretly with Ge-
neral Bravo residing there,) as a spy of Guerrero ; he
vas tried and set at liberty, for want of proofs. He
then proceeded to Acapulco, to show to Guerrero an
etbcial copy of this sentence, as a title to his confidence
And friendship. Guerrero fell into the snare—they became
intimate ; they gave dinners to each other ; and finally
Pitaluga invited Guerrero, together with Primo, Tapia, ,
Pita, Tavalita, and two other persons to a dinner on board
the Colombo. There they spent a joyful day ; the night
approached ; coffee was served in the cabin, when Pitaluga
went suddenly on deck, shut the door of the cabin, cut the
cables, and set sail. The darkness of the night prevented
the garrison of the fort from perceiving the treacherous
movement of the brig. She left the port in safety, and
went and landed the victims at Hautuico, a small port of the
neighbouring State of Oajaca, where every thing was pre-
pared to received them. A few days previous to this ad-
mirable coup d'etat, Bustamente had said to a friend of his
in Mexico—' How much will you bet, that before the end of
this month (January) Guerrero will not be in my power ?'
The news of the arrest of Guerrero having reached
Mexico, a council of ministers was held, to determine whe-
thar the affair ought to be had before Congress ; but it was
resolved, that Guerrero ought not to be looked upon as a
more privileged person than any other criminal. There was,
however, an individual who tried to save his life, by speak-
ing of clemency and generosity to Vice-President Busta-
mente ; but behold the reply of this hero. ' When I drew
the sword against the revolutionists, I threw the sheath
away, until their destruction should be complete. Who had
more right to Mexican gratitude than Senor Iturbide, who
did not cause a single drop of Mexican blood to be shed to
sustain himself ? But the negro (Guerrero) who has cost
so much to the republic.' Bustamente, Alaman, Facio, and
others, aim at the civilization of the republic—that is, at the
consolidation of their throne.

committed against the French subjects, and this v:ithin a
certain number of days, which will expire on the I lth inst.
Meanwhile the Consul, as well as the French merchants re-
siding in Lisbon, havo embarked on board the French vessels
of war anchored in the Tagus ; and, should the answer not
be received on Monday next, or prove unsatisfactory, the
vessels will leave on Tuesday, and then the French Govern-
ment will, most likely, take other measures against the tyrant
for which purpose, I hear, other vessels are daily expected
from France.

LUXEMBOURGIL

It appears certain, says the Courrier Francais, " that
:lie entrance of the troops of the German Confederation into
the Duchy of Luxembourg is postponed. It was fixed for
this day, (April 16), but has been postponed to May 18.
If we may give credit to accounts from Belgium, this de-
lay will not be lost by the friends of the national inde-
pendence. Every means will be employed to render the in-
vasion more difficult. Troops are to be organised in the
Duchy, and intrenchments raised at every point susceptible
of defence.

SlR—The successes of the Poles, and the insurrection in
Lithuania, are now confirmed by the journals of Prussia.
which are always slow in communicating an advantage in
favour of the Poles. The Polish Diet are determined not to
treat any more with Diebitsch; and we are in hourly ex.
pectation of further victories.

WIZ ST BALLOT.

Mr. HUNT presented a petition from a place In Dorsetsbire, which
prayed that all placeman, and those holding profitable offices under the
e:own, might be deprived of their seats in Parliament—that Parliament
might be of shorter duration, not longer than triennial, and that the
mode of election might be so free as to prevent all attempts at bribery.
In the prayer of this petition he agreed, and the day was not far distant
when no placeman would have a seat in that house. (A laugh.) Hon.
members might laugh, but they would have been quite as much sur-
lrised, if they had been told ten years ago that Government would have
in-night in such a bold and efficient measure as the one introduced last
night. He thought the measure might have gone farther; but it went
far enough to ensure his hearty support. (Hear.) He hoped to live to
arc the whole qhestion carried. The measure now proposed was only
the beginning, lie repeated; it should nevertheless have his humble
support. He presented that and other petitions for reform, from
Devonshire, Kidderminster, &c.—Ordered to be printed.

THE ELECTION OF THE LORD M.l YOR.

We are sorry to state that an adverse party
feeling, which has too often misled the Court of
Aldermen, has induced their worahirs to return
Alderman Tuonr, instead of the preirent LORD
Ms roe, whose re-election was 'i.e obvious pur-
rose of the Livery. Toots, our readers must be
aware, is a reformer on principle ; but put forward
on this occasion as a supernumerary, and the pre-
ference of the Livery was indicated by the superior
number of votes bestowed on the LORD 511 volt
As might be expected, therefore, the perverse pre
feieoce of Alderman Looar defeated the object of
the Livery ; for this gentleman, as might be ex-
pected, RESIGNED, and hence the city has to
undergo the perplexity and confusion of a st:coeu
ELECTION, in which no doubt. KLT and THORP
will be again put forward, and he again returned !
It seems, therefore, that the Upper House in the
city, as well as that at Westminster, are oeter-
mined to be at crow-purposes with the people, and
to demonstrate how ueces•ary is a reform in the
constitution of both.

THAMES POLICE

iPdliaes MiCart* an Irish coal whipper, was charged
with having, in conjunction with several other ruffians, way.
laid and attempted to murder John Hood, a sailor, on
Wednesday last.
It appeared that the complainant was on Wednesday nigkt
last leaving a public-house, called the White Han, in Shad.
well High.nreet, when he was followed by a gang, who
assailed him near his own home, and commenced the attack
by cutting his head open with a bludgeon. The unfortu-
nate man defended himself as well as he was able, but wo
soon overpowered by numbers, and beaten in a dreadfid
manner about the head, face, and body, until be fell (torn
weakness, and was rendered 'pennies,.
Mr. Basuarriwa said the outrage exweded in atrocity
anything he had ever heard (if, and he convicted the pri-
soner in the highest penalty of M ; and in default of pay-
ment, to two months' imprisonment. But that was not
all, for, in order to protect the sailor from further violence,
he ordered the prisoner to find bail to keep the peace
for the next two years, himself in NUL and two sureties
in 1001. each.
The ruffian was sent to Brixton, where he will doubtless
remain for the next two years.

is universally acknowledged, and this course is
generally adopted. If in scientific, why not in
questions of every other kind ? Error not I rougl.t
to view, but concealed—error operating not open.
ly, but privately, may be dangerous; for it has n..,
enemy to detect it, and nothing to fear. Publis:,
it, expose it, discuss it, and the vapour is dissi-
pated before the beams of truth. Look at the de.
spotic countries of the world, and reflect for a rae.
ment on the character and motives of those classes
of society by whom discussion is forbidden. Reflect
on the questions and the doctrines that are thus for-
bidden in those countries—is it the interest of the
people, or is it the interest of these predominant
. classes that is consulted by the prohibition ? Look
again, are not knowledge and power connected ;
and is not that connexion exemplified beyond the
possibility of denial in those countries which have
been formerly, and now are, the most prosperous
and powerful on the face of the earth ? Why arc
they so ? Because knowledge is power ; and be.
cause the door is closed against knowledge where
freedom of discussion is forbidden.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The accounts received this morning from
Derby are said to be of a gloomy description ; se-
Imes riots have taken place. On its being known
there of the Reform Bill being thrown
out by the Lords, the gaol was broke open,
and the prisoners released—the mob fired
upon from the prison—many wounded and some
killed ; a newspaper-office pulled down, and a glass-
house destroyed.—lt is said the mob were still
continuing their work when the account left. This
beginning has caused some sensation in the city,
fearing the flame will reach to many other places.

by the Marquis of TAT ISTOCE , who stated that Callington
contains but 1,300 inhabitants, and Tavistock 6,000.
Lord PALMERSTON, a new Reformer, avowed his appro-
bation of a bill, which was likely to transfer the represen-
tation from men with the longest purse, to men of talents
and public estimation. He considered the measure as being
rendered necessary, by the neglect of the House to punish
election abuses.

Sir ROBERT PEEL, as the organ of the Opposition,
argued at great length against the bill, and eulogised the
close Boroughs, as affording facilities to men of talent to
enter the house ! He urged also the right of non-residents
at Oxford and Cambridge, and spoke of the failures in other
countries of a pure representation, alleging, that its success
in America was no proof that it would suit here. He
ascribed the ferment of the people to " vague ideas about
liberty," borrowed from the French. He thought the plan
should have been on the narrowest basis, and that Ministers
ought not to have sent firebrands of discussion throughout
the country. This speech detained the house till half-past
one, when an adjournment took place till five this evening.
In the House of LORDS a rather angry discussion arose,
on the presentation of a petition by Lord Cs awnavoN,
who spoke of the bill in the Commons as providing a new
constitution, instead of the old one. This insinuation Earl
GREY repelled; but Lord WYNFORD alleged that themes-
sure was not founded on the principles of the old Constitu-
tion, which limited the right of voting to the King's tenants,
who held in capile. Lord Kis° replied, and quoted Scot-
land as a proof of the imperfection of such a system. His
Lordship also stated, that he meant to impeach all the
parties concerned in the misappropriation of the
Navy Estimates, and to scrutinize the malvorsations
in the Colonies. This called up the Duke of WEELING-
TON, who defended the Colonial Administration, and took
occasion to state, that the plan of Reform was incompatible
with Monarchy. Several Peers then rose to defend Lord
MELVILLE ; and Lord BEXLEY asserted that the money
paid to a different service than that voted, was generally for
extra men. Earl GREY considered this as no excuse. The
Marquis of CLEVELAND, a principal borough proprietor,
and Earl STANHOPE declared themselves friendly to the
new plan of Reform.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
The Consol Market has been greatly agitated this morn-
ing. Consols, which left off yesterday at 75i for the ac-
count, opened at the same price; but soon after fell to 751
for money : after which a re-action took place, and they
immediately rose to 752 for the account; but at present
they have again declined to 751 i. The great uncertainty
of the grand question of the Reform Bill causes much
agitation.

...
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.

The extreme fluctuation in Consols this morning has been
upwards of one per cent.—in the early part of the morning
they were 755, and at present they may be quoted 76$ for
the account.

PRINCE GEORGE OF CUMBERLAND.

The following gallantly-angry letter has been addressed
to one of our contemporaries, relative to his young Royal
Highness's coursing at Hampton Court the other day :

Sra—The Court Circular of yesterday has the following announce-
ment :—" Prince George of Cumberland, attended by the Earl of
Errol and Sir George Quintin, coursed yesterday In Hampton Court
and its neighbourhood." It has been the invariable custom hitherto,
on these coursing occasions, to admit the ladies into the park to view
and admire the horsemanship of the Royal personages who take part
In the sports of the acid : and the scene is but a dull affair if the ladles
of England are excluded. Who, I would ask, would form a party to
behold sack an exhibition, if ladies were excluded ? I attended, Sir,
on the occasion above-named, with a party composed chiefly of ladies;
they were anxious to see the gallant riding of the Prince George of
Cumberland ; we approached the gates of the park, the keeper said
~ Ladies cannot be admitted; Prince George of Cumberland is here,
Sir, and therefore ladies cannot be admitted." This statement, Mr.
Editor, is true, perfectly true. I deem it right to put you in posses.
den of these facts, knowing well that you are, and ever will be, the
admirer and patron of the ladies of England, and of all their little
tastes and amusements.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

It is understood that there will not be any division upon
the introduction of the Reform bill, but that it will be read a
first time, as a matter of course, and that the trial of strength
will be upon the second reading, which is not expected to
take place sooner than in a fortnight.

Gentlen.en, that he manufactures Trusses upon an Im.

It is difficult to captain the nature with which some

to almost bid defiance to every kind of Truss to retain the

Rupture.

A BEAUTIFUL BEAD OF HAIR.

WHAT can be more fascinating and attractive
than a beautiful head of Hair? During the high
and talmy state of the Roman Empire the Hair was
teruliarly attended to, and considered highly ornamental: the
G.eeiat► fashion subsequently followed, and produced a
iiiedaii.g effect ; but nothing has accomplished au admirable
at, improvement in the Hair as C. and A. OL DRIDGE'S
BALM OF COLUMBIA. It stops the Hair from
1.111::g off on the first application, and a few bottles
ImPint a gloss and brilliancy to it, hitherto unattained
M the fashionable world. This incomparable Balm is
su eutr4ious a nature, that it produces Whiskers
..ad Lye-brows, prevents the Hair from turning grey,
treed it Irvin all impurities, and makes it curl beauti.
'ilk. It was in allusion to this latter virtue that a cele-
t,rated Duchess, on observing a lack of fashionables in Ken.
'into!' Gardens, was recently heard to exclaim, " What is
scums of the curled darlings of the nation?" Price 31. &L
. and I is. per Bottle.
No:Limas Certificates of the that respectability in support
el the virtues of t OLDRIDGE'S BALM are shown by the Pro.

by all respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders.

SECOND EDITION

EXPERSS FROM PARIS.-THIS DAY.
STAR OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK.

We have just received a Paris Paper of yester-
day, and a Private Letter, both of which speak of
letters in Paris, from Vienna, which state, in posi-
tive terms, that a suspension of Hostilities had been
agreed to ; and that negociations for final arrange-
ments were carrying on by Plenipotentiaries at the
Russian Head-quarters. This intelligence is gene-
rally credited on 'Change, in our Public Offices,
and at the House of Commons, now sitting.

It appears that the Russian army had pre-
viously advanced, and that the Poles hail
retreated to the immediate vicinity of Varsa►►
there having been no serious conflict, but merely
some skirmishes between the advanced posts. If
the negociations should prove abortive, the delay
will be more advantageous to the Poles
than the Russians. There is, of course, much
division among the leaders of the Poles, in regard
to the terms of accommodation, which they ought
to accept. On the Praga side of Warsaw, the
communications of the Poles are perfectly free.
This intelligence had exalted the French five
per cents to 89 fs. 80 c. and the three per cents
59 fa. 10 c.

We lament to state, that one of the most respectable thr
in Belfast has sustained a heavy loss, by the burning of
of the handsomest steam flour mills in Ireland, On
day night last, the persons employed in the steam mill of t,
Messrs. Gamble, of Waring.street, left off work a little
than usual, about 8 o'clock. Shortly before 11, some prt.(.;,
passing through Tomb.atieet, observed smoke issuing frut
the south end of the building, and almost immediately akt.
' wards the flames burst out of the windows of the atory
so the attic. An alarm was instantly raised ; but in
than half an hour, and before any effectual measures couk
be adopted, the fire had attained such a height, as can.
pletely to do away with any hopes of saving either the
or any of its contents. The fire raged with terrific grandee!
till near two o'clock, when it reached the grcund fluor, and
this lofty and extensive building then presented the asptct ot
a vast cauldron of red-hot flames. After two, the tire was
gradually exhausting itself ; and we may thank GOD tha.
none of the surrounding buildings,in some of which Were ...egt,
quantities of flax, hay, and coals, took fire ; for, in that
case, it is impossible to say where it would have ended...—
In the afternoon of yesterday, some parts of the building
were still burning ; hut they were carefully watched, to
prevent the fire from spreading. The walls are standing,
but the loss to the M . Gamble will be severe, amount-
ing to nearly 14,0001. and it gives us pain to state, that
insurance has not been effected to the amount of much
more than 9,0001.
