Nuer knock at the door of a • great Man as thmigh
you are conscious of the inferiority of your rank. Suds
manifestations of humility, although rarely, if e•er ap
preciated, are commonly attended with very inconve-
nient results. No footman of the smallest tact ever
dreams bf opening his toaster's door to one 01 your
witidest tat-tat ats until it be repeated at least half a
down times; and when he is as length induced to pay
attention to the summons. the expression of his count.:•

Which he demands to be informed of " your business
with my Lord ?" leave you in no manner of doubt as to
the impression of your importance.
The knocker of amen of fashion is the thermometer
by which his servants uniformly regulate their conduct
towards his visitors; always bear in mind that a man,
whatever may be his nominal rank, can but be a Gentle-
man, and that if you are entitled to be so constdeien,
you have as undoubted a right to the lull swing of
.your friend's knocker as the first Duke in the land.—
Leave the tap " between a single and double to der sing-
masters and apothecaries: If you do not make the ser-
vant recognise your station in society, you stand a vet y
fair chance of being treated cavalierly by the master.
A man oldie world will ascertain in a moment from
the manner in which his footman announces your name,
the degree of politeness and respect he is called upon
to display towards you. This preliminary impression,
like the anticipating verdict of a Grand Jury, is to be
sure often reversed, but still more frequently conveys a
prejudice which no after circumstance can eradicate.
Knock modestly at a Nobleman's door, and you will in
'all probability be informed, that he is "not at home:
Give a pretty considerable sisserara, and you will secure
yourself an arm-chair, not in the hall, or in a ball-
furnished waiting room, but in the library, until John
hhoulderknot has ascertained whether my Lord is visible
or not. Moreover, take care, to lock sufficiently self-
important; for, next to beggars and children, there are
no practical physiognomists like the "pampered menials"
of thb Nobility. They always measure the depth of
purse by the humility of your address, and it is not
seldom a very tolerable criterion. The affectation of
importance is the next way which you must employ to
emote you the reality.—Literary Magnet.

DRIADPUL FIRE AND ACCIDICNT.—AbOOt one o'clock
this morning the vicinity of Barlow-street, St. Georgei,
was thrown into a state of alarm by the dwelling-house
of Mr. Hooozft JONES, No. 47, in the street being
discovered on fire. The flames appeared to ascend
from the lower part of the house, and with great rapi-
dity. The watchman of the street, instantly proceeded
to arouse the inmates, who appeared at the windows of
the second floor in a state of dreadful dismay ; to escape
by the lower part was found impossible, but fortunately
a trap-door in the roof enabled Mr. Josses, his wife,
mother, and child, to escape that way over the roofs of
the adjoining houses. The flames spread dosing that
interval upwards, and-the house was nearly all on fire,
when Mr. JONES, who was in the street, recollected that
the servant maid, who slept in the back kitchen, had
Iriot escaped. This was immediately circulated through
the crowd, and almost immediately after the shrieks of
;the hapless female were heard from within, but at that
Imoment to save her was impossible, and in less thad a
minute after the upper part of the house fell in and
buried beneath its burning embers all in the direction
the poor creature was. The house was burned to the
ground, and considerable mischief was done to two
pining houses.
AWFUL OUTRAGL—Between two and three o'clock
yesterday morning the house of John Mannin (who, on'
an action for trespass, tried by record, this assizes' was
awarded 501. damages and 6d. costs, against Mr. Man-
deville,) of Ballybough, was maliciously burnt, and,
Ilhorrible to relate, his wife, Catherine Mannin, reduced
to a cinder! The furniture, the clothes of the family,
and almost every asticle, were consumed to.ashes!—
How awful is the state of society in this county ! While
his Majesty's Commission was sitting, an awful and
most daring murder was committed near Cashel, by
the lawless and indomiiable ruffians that riot in rapine
and murder, set the laws at defiance, insult his Majesty's
Commission, and inspire the farmers and the peasantry
with such dread and terror of their lives and proper-
lies, that they can, and do levy with impunity, rob, as-
Isassinate, and commit every degree, and almost every
species of degradation. And while the always-everTto-
be-respected Commission continues to exercise its most
salutary, restraining, and punitive functions—while the
murderer of the Sheas, under the authority of that
Commission, still exhibits an ignominious, disgusting,
and anatomized spectacle of awful punishment—while
the murderers of Barry are being prepared for the saint
dreadful and shameful death—a ruffian of I uffians can
be found to react the dreadful scene which terminated
the last sad and burning moments of the She"—
