LATE HOURS.—At a meeting comprising no fewer than
three thousand individuals, held at Exeter-hall on Wee-
nesday night, some strong resolutions condemnatory Of
:the practice of keeping open the shops to late hours, were
gassed. The Rev. Mr. Hughes and a Mr. Flukey were
the principal speakers. The latter termed all those wire
support the present system " murderers," an observation
which was gre,ted with loud pplause.
An extraordinary sensation nas been creased in Bishop
Stopford daring the last few days, in consequence of the
. apprehension of Alfred, sun of Mr. Yardley, pawnbroker,
together with Sarah Fuller, his servant girl, who were
charged, the former with having set fire to the dwellig;
house.of his father, and the latter as an accessary.
female has been discharged, and Yardley fully committed
for trial at the next Hertford Assizes. On the sth ult.,
the premises of Mr. Yardley were found to be in flames,
when a great qoantity of property was destroyed, a great
porton of which belonged to the poor of Stortford anti
neighbourhood. Young Yardley was very much respected,
sod would. on attaining his majority, (in a few months,)
onne into possession or very considerable property.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONDON.—On Monday night.
about nine o'cTock, the neighbourhood of New Cross was
alarmed by the report that the railway station was on fire.
It was soon ascertained that the engine repository, a fine
octigonal building, was in flames, which made such
rapid progress that in less than a quarter of an hour the
whole building was in a blaze. The fire was gre tly as-
sisted be a quantity of oil and turpentine, as vrell as paint,
that had been laid aside in a part of the engine room.
Before the engines arrived the flames had got ao far
a-head that it was found to be impossible to arrest their
progress. The fire brigade used their utmost exertions to
save the adjacent buildings, and, fortunately, the wind
proving favourable, their exertions were so far successful.
By eleven o'clock the roofs of both houses (which were
boards covered with lead, and on iron rafters) fell in,
and then the engines, amounting to about 14, were able to
make an effectual resistance against the devouring ele-
ment. The flames were at length effectually got under ;
and the books and furniture of the offices were entirely,
saved from destruction at the early part of the =flare.
tion. The heat was so intense that the iron rafters
which formed the roof came asunder in various places
and being unable to support its own weight fell in with arl)
awful crash.

CLEARANCES TO AND FRONI THE EAST --The Usual
comparative statement, puh'ished by the East India and
China Association, of the number of i3ritish ships, with
their tonnage, entered inwards and cleared outwards from
and to places within the limits of the East India Compa-
ny's charter, has made its appearance. It extends over
the period from the Ist of January to the 30th September
in the years.lB43 and 1844. The following are the results.

Showing an aguezate increase for 1814 over 1843 of 161
&lips and 56,794 tons. It will be observed, that in none
of the ports has there been any decrease. In July last,
we ment oned that a number of vessels had shared in
Liverpool in ballast for the East India ports, whose real
destination was the west coast of Africa, to co;leet guano., and that these returns must to that extent be fallacious.
In the one now published, a distinction is drawn in tb•
form of a note, between the bond fide clearances for the
east bad the nominal ones. The note says—" There were
likewise cleared out in ballast for the west coast of-Africa.
and the following ports, chiefly from Liverpool, 90 vessehi.
hz;:—For Calcutta seven, 2172 tons ; Madras nine; 2059
tons; Bombay furry-two, 18,692 tons; China tour, 2149
tons'; Ceylon one, 298 tons; Java two, 790 tons; Arabia
one, 221) tons; Mauritius ten, 2306 tons ; and the Cape of
Good Hope fourteen, 3460 tons; total 90 vessels, 31,10
tons ; and, as the professed object was that they should
load guano on the African coast, it was not judged proper
to include them in the above statement."
CRIME ANE PUNISHMENT IN 111011.0CC0.-4n avari-
cious butcher, who had enriched hitnself by selling " keh-
.ba, (fried meat,) was determined to increase his gains by
the more simple method of receipts without expenditure.
With this view he nightly ioveigled into his house a wo-
man of exceptionable character, who was immediately as-
sassinated, cooked, and disputed of the following day as
‘• kehlia." His wife, who witnessed these ni,htly mur-
ders, apprehending a similar fate, went to the Pasha, and denounced her husband. He was soon judged and con-
demned ; a bolls full of water was placed over a fierce
fire before his shop door, which soon reached boiling
temperature. The execwioner then dragged the crimind
to his own block, still stained with the blood of his nu-
merous victims, and, chapping off his hands, threw them
into the cauldron, and, when boiled, they were given to
the numerous bands Of hungry does who had been as-
semble i for that purpose. in the.same way his feet and
legs wA.e disposed of, until loss cf blood terminated his
life,-ald with it this appalling and barbarous justice...-.
