A LETTER FROM LONDON.
Extract Of letter from a Gentleman to his bro
ther in Philadelphia, dated
LONDON, DECEMBER Sd, 1871

LONDON, DECEMBER Sd, 1S41.
81 am sorry to so say, that sickness at the
present time abounds in all parts of these King
doms TO an alarming extent. arising out of want
both of food and clothing, and other calami-
ties. The prospect before US, at the present
moment, in reference &c the approaching win
ter, is fearfully dark and alarming.
never remember time when England had
less demand for her manufactured goods in
foreign markets than the present, nor when
prices, were so wand the certainty of obtain
ing money SO precarious; nor do ever re-
member having seen so many out of employ
ment, and such number in our work-houses.
Our poor rates nave increased cf cc@rse, il q
ratio corresponding with the increase of pau
persm All these continued evils, with the
additional high price Of the first necessaries of
life, have brought us to the verge of fearful
precipice, over which we must inevitably be
hurled, unless Parliament repeal the corn and
provision laws, and grant us some very exten-
sive measures of commercial reform, which will
set our manufactures in motion, and allow us
10 procure cheap bread from other nations

Destructive FIRE. About 7 o'clock on
Sunday morning last, fire was discovered in
Mr.. N. c. Goddards Bookstore, in this village.
Mr.. Goddard had barely time 10 save his ac'
counts, and Mr.. Gilkey those of the Pos, office
(Which was kept in The same room,) by enter.
ing through window, wher he was driven
out by the flames. Being part of the most ex-
tensivc business block in our village, great ap.
prehensioDs were felt respecting the adjoining
leneme MS but by the well.directed energies
of the Fire Companies and citizens generally,
aided by good brick walls on either hand and a
calm atmosphere, the fire was kept within that
building, of which and its contents nearly all
that was combuslible was entirely consumed.
The contents OF the store, are estimated at
So, 900, on which there was an insurance Of
$1,000 at the Vermont Mutual.
The tenement belonged to Mrs. NJ. A.
Clarke. and is an entire loss; the policy of fin
surance had expired a short time before, and
had To. been renewed.
The origin of the fire cannot be ascertained.
The Post Office was closed the preceding
night at about II o'clock, after the arrival and
distribution of the Boston Mail, when Messrs.
GiIkev and Goddard left it together.

the South American States never sung so low,
'or showed itself so utterly lost to all sense OF
honor and AMI seIfrespect, as to repudiate its
debts. Their revolutions have been as FIRE.
quent as their earthquakes, one usurper has
succeeded another, universal anarchy repeat.
'edly threatened to destroy all forms of govern.
'ment, yet the obligation TO pay their debts has
never for moment been disputed. ID.

TEMPERANCE IN HIGH PLACES. We un-
derstand that Gov. Seward in his preparation
for the New Year, has substituted Lemonade
and Cold Water for Punch and Wine. This
is bold innovation, but one which the Spirit
of the times demanded. The Temperance
cause has right TO claim an example from the
highest authorities. The amount heretofore
expended for Wine &c. by The Governor, will
now be given TO the 2oor.--Albany Epening

evening an occurrence took place at the Men
agerie, No. 81 Bowery, which has not been
paralleled in this city for horror, and which it
is feared must terminate fatally. On that
evening, Mr.. David Watkins, of No. 643
Fourth-street, went to the Ampitheatre accom-
panied by his wife and an Interesting little
girl aged about four years. Finding the doors
of the Brewery entrance very much crowded,
they passed around to Chrystic-street, inten-
ding to go thought the Menageric, and enter
the Ampitheatre by that way. Among the
various animals kept there for exhibition is a
young Leopard which has been considered so
tame that it was merely kept chained by a
collar, without the restraint of a barred cage,
and many persons have been in the habit of
playing with and patting it.
As Mrs Watkins was passing this leopard
with her child in her arms, the animal made a
sudden spring, and catching the child's head
in his mouth, dragged it from its mothers's
arms who Immediately fell to the floor in
swoon. The Menagere was filled with ladies.
and their shrieks as they noticed the dreadful
occurrence, were appalling. The leopard ia
king the child to a corner of the place where
it was confined, laid her down, and the keeper
of the animals coming up at the moment, dealt
him several severe blows on the head with a
heavy club, and the child was rescued. 1t was
horribly lacerated about the face, the teeth OF
the ferocious animal having torn its flesh in a
dreadful manner, and one of the eyes Of the
poor child was nearly torn from its socket, her
whole appearance presenting scene perfectly
horrible. Medical aid was Immediately called
in, and every thing was done to relieve the lit
tie sufferer that skill or kindness could suggest
and the wounds having been dressed, she was
conveyed home in a carriage, where she now
lies with scarcely any hope of recovery oil
should she survive, it will be to remain disfig.
ured for the rest of her days.-N. Y. Cour.
