DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE ClTY.—About two o'clock on Sunday morning a most destructive fire broke out in the House of Mr. Gurr, the Cheshire Cheese public-house, Addle-street, Wood-street, Cheapside. The fire is supposed to have originated in the taproom, and so rapid was its progress that the inmates were compelled to effect their escape from the roof. In a short time the engines from Farringdon-street and Watlingstreet stations, near the place, accompanied by a strong body of the fire brigade, as rived, but before they were able to set to work four other houses had caught fire. A plentiful supply of water being procured, and the West of England and other engines having arrived, the fire was at length got under. Two firemen, named Isaacs and Bradley, were very much injured by falling ff, it is supposed, one of the fire ladders. The following is the loss of property occasioned by the fire :—The house and stock of Mr. Gurr completely consumed (insured in the Licensed Victuallers' Office); Mrs. Lewis, marine store keeper, damaged (insured in the Piicenix) ; Mr. Kean, hairdresser, damaged ( Phoenix) ; Mr. James, hairdresser ( Royal Exchange) ; and Mr. Neid, Manchester warehouseman ( Royal Exchange). The amount of property destroyed is estimated at from 8,0001. to 10,000/. The origin of the fire is not known.  IS IT TRUE !—We have heard a strange story about a Tory Noblemen connect( d with this County having refused to confirm a number of leases illegally granted by his predecessor, although dearly paid for by the lessees. Can3any of our readers furnish us with some authentic information on this subject. The electors of Williton and its neighbourhood have been well rewarded for the abject prostration of their consciences at the command of their landlord. But what could they expect? If men will crouch and fawn like dogs, they must expect to be treated like dogs, and be cuffed and kicked at the pleasure of him at whose feet they have fallen. Somerset County Gazette.  Mr. WILLIAMS, in seconding the resolution, said it had been stated that he was a physical force man, a dagger and torch man. But his hands had never yet been stained with human blood, and he hoped they never would. At the same time. he wished to prevent the aristocracy from staining their hands in innocent blood—(Cheers)---by exycuting these three innocent men. He wished to try all the moral force in his power. It had never yet been carried to the fullest extent. An attempt was made to shew something of this last Sunday, when a large body of the people went to St. Paul's, and thence to Copenhagen-fields, where 3,000 persons were assembled, who were determined these poor men should not be executed. He would advise every man to attend church with a black bandage on his arm, and let them hang black flags from their windows, in older to show their moral force to the Aristocracy. He agreed in the propriety of sending an address to the Queen, who had the power of saving these men. She saved a murderer's life. Would she save these three innocent men ? He was satisfied that she would save them ; but if she refused she would lose the confidence of the working classes.--( Hear, hear). If the people suffered these men to be executed, if they did not use their physical power, they were not worthy of the name of men.—(Cheers.) In the course of another week tnere would be a far greater meeting than the present. In a short time London would be organised, and then it would be impossible to put tnem down. To every ninth man in the unions there was a leader, so that they could carry on correspond"nco without having public meetings until the.!: were all organised; and every man was (leertPilled to.
