The manufacturing blisinesi ih this city is giving

yet rather scarce. The improvement in the silk trade
has been considerable advantage to the lawn weave',,
as a number of them have turned to the weaving el

readily supplied with silk shades, for which there is 4

Ross served as Flag Captain to Rear Admiral Sir Geo. Cockburn,

Portsmouth ; in 1822 be was appointed Resident Commissioner at
Jamaica; and afterwards he was removed to the same post at
Malta, from whence he has returned to his native country to OH the
honourable station of Commissioner of this yard. The demonstrations
of public feeling on the occasion of his departure from Malta prove
the estimation in which be was held there. On leaving the harbour of

by the Military and Navy; and Commodore Sir Thomas &aims

regret on parting with Commissioner Rom His hospitality, the
urbanity of his manners and the kindness he evinced to all, caused
him to be beloved and looked up to as the life and soul of the island.

Yesterday. morning, about three o'clock, an alarming
fire broke out in the back part of the premises of Mr.
Watchers, .bookseller and stationer. Charles street,
Mary-la-bonne, nearly opposite the Middlesex Hospital.
At the above hour the watchman on duty in Wells
street observed a quantity of smoke rising above the
houses in Charles street, and soon discovered that it
proceeded from the workshops in the tear of Mr.
Walthers's house at the back of Wells mews. The alarm
soon became general in the neighboorho,d, which was
rendered greater by the recollection of the resent des-
tructive fire at the Bazaar, and the inhabitants of the
adjoining houses, and the poor people in the Mews,
commenced removing their goods, and men. women,
and children, were to be seen running in all directions,
many of whores were in a state of nudity. The British,
Protector, and Alliance engines arrived in quick suc-
cession, and a good supply of water being obtained,
the firemen played with great effect on the devouring
element; and in the course of halt au hour the fire was
got under. The workshops, in which there were a
quantity of valuable hooks in sheets, and valuable
bindings, stationary, stamps. and other property, were
entirely destroyed. The back part of the house was also
consumed ; the front remains uninjured. It is not known
how the fire originated.
Saturday morning, at half past seven o'clock, the
premise: of Mr. Russell, a tallow chandler, in Old
Compton street, Soho, were discovered to be on fire.
The house had only just been rebuilt, having been
'burnt down about four months since. The workmen
had been engaged in melting down some offal Mr
reeves, and it is supposed V,at some tal:ow must have
dropped on tt e awls Iron. a piece of sacking placed
o-er the mouth of the boiler, for the purpose of con.
*eying up the.chimney the disagreeable fumes Joking
tram the melting. By the prompt arrival of the engines
the fire was got under in the course of three Trailers of
an hour.. We understand Mr. Russell is insured.

The various work, of the exhibition of the Colosseum
are proceeding rapidly to completion. The improvements do great

A Homan SHOT.—Saturday morning a housebreaker
was shot in the shoulder while attempting to break
into the premises of Mr. Newcome, in Webber street.
Lambeth. The owner of the house bearing a noise
threw up his window, and perceiving one of the shutters
of his shop down, he armed himself with a pistol, and
on going down stairs saw a mat in the act of leaying
the shop, whom he tired at and' wounded in the shoo'
der. The fellow, however. was not sufficiently wounded
to impede his career, for he still kept running, and
esea ed through some of tie narrow passages leading
out of the above street into the Waterloo-road. _

An inquiry is nnw going on at Paris as to the titles
purchased by Frenchmen and foreigners at It-me.—
Many of the possessors of these titles are fou,.d to be
persons of light character, who having become M .r.
quiases, Counts, Barons, and Knights, by purcha,e of
the Popo% Secretary, set themselves up for fine Gentle-
men in Paris. and practise a good deal of deception on
the unwary. These titles ate disposed of their by .n
agent, at something like the follov ins prices—For a
Nlarquessate, 20,000 francs; for a Barony or a Count.
ship, 12,000 ; and for a Knighthood, 3,000. Move than
one purchaser of Knighthood has had the effroutety to
dub himself Sir, in English society there.

STAFF OF IRELAND..—In the Cour rier des El&ears,
a paper recentls got up in Paris, we have a very amus-
ing statistical at count of Leland. Of this article we
maf•, some time hence, give a translation in tots, with
a few comments. In the mean time, we may observe.
that the French account of the resources and popula-
tion of Iceland outstrips all the statements that we have
had any oppottunity of seeing heretofore. Neverthe-
less, it may be quite correct. With regard to the po.
pul4tibu, it sets forth that in 1695, it amounted to
1,034,102; in 1754 to 2 372,634; in 1805 to 5,395,456;
snit in 1821 to 6,801,827: Of this last number there
were 3,441,926 males, and 3,459.901 females. In
agricultural pursuits 1,138,069 were engaged. and
1.170,044 in commerce and manufacture.. 1111828,
the number of inhabitants is rated at 8.490,000! This
eicicis the estimate of the Association only by about
o*e million and a half! The total value of property is
giien at 563,660,0001. sterling, of which 9,000,0001 is
deriominated public property. This, if it can be brought
to the test, is really a valuable discovery and piece of
infordition ; bet, unfortunately, it is at variance with
another part of this statistical account, which states the
acres *cider cultivation to be only 11,943,000. The,
article in querion then enlarges on the Nobility of Ire-
;and through a great variety of grades and generations,
the number of Roman Catholics, the representation in
Parliament, police, and bank circulation. In the c
lendar of crimes, it sets forth that the number of per-
sons condemned in 1805 was 613 ; 911 in 1810; 2,319
in 1815; 5,377 in 1820; 9329 in 1825; and 9 269 in
11428. We have neat an enumeration of the most con-
siderable towns in point of commerce and population;
and lastly. a list of persons by whom Ireland has been
distinguished in the republic of letters, in which th-re
