The supply of water was abundant , fi fi £ i * two hours elated before the fire was wh whoDy subdued , the premises and tbeir . valuable S SSTbeW wholly consumed . The total loss Messrsi Wer
£ fc very considerable , but , fortunately , - 5 u Suemerewereinsured in the Alliance Erei Office . Th The building was the property of Mr Dalton , of "W "Watford , and it is not known whether or not ne w was insured . The origin of the . disaster could not be be accounted for . About threa hours previously a fir fire , which , at one period , threatened to be attended vsi vritnthe most disastrous results , broke out in tbe N North Green Saw Mills , North Street , Finsbury , in a a shop used for sharpening the saws . The worksi shop in which the fire commenced was destroyed , ai and some stacks of timber in the yard were slightly
ii injured . , , Finns—On Monday , between tbe hours of one a and two , a fire tbat did considerable damage broke 0 out in the premises belonging to Me S . C . Chapman , a a plumber , painter , and glazier , known as Seymour 1 House , Xo 38 , Seymour Street , EustonSqiare . It v was discovered by the police constable on the beat , i and an instant alarm was raised . In a very brief I period the engines of the parish , North-Western 1 Railway Company , London Brigade , and West of 3 Eng land Fire-offices arrived , and the flames were i speedil extinguished , but not until every article in
y i the front warehouse was much burned . The owners i of the premises were from home at the time of the i outbreak , having left about ten minutes previously . —Whilst tke firemen weieengaged attbAsfire , information was conveyed to them that another had broken ont in the pareelsofEU o £ the Sorth-Westero Baflwav , in Whittlebnry Street . Various engines having " baen despatched to the spot , the firemen found that some sulphur bad become ignited , and fired the partition in the offices , but the damage done tws inconsiderable , although the alarm was
very great . — -About half-past eleven o ' clock in the morning a fire , which , had it not been opportunely discovered , might have been attended with serious consequence , broke out ia the first floor of the premises belonging to Messrs Newton and Co ., the advertising agents , in Warwick Square , Newgate Street It was caused through making a large fire in the drawing-room stove , which set tbe timbers under the hearth in flames . The firemen , by ripping up the hearth and bond timbers , succeeded in getting the fire out , —About the same hour a fire broke etf in High Street , Poplar , to which the fire-engines were called , hut owing to the timely aid afforded , the daa : a ? e done was confined to the destruction of
some furniture , & c . —At a late hour on Christmaseve a fire occurred at No . 6 , St Martin ' s Court , Ludgate Hill , in the occupation of Mr Wise , fishmonger . It was caused from a defect in the flue ofthe bouse which set the landing stairs on the second flaor in flames ; the firemen were unable to get the fire extinguished until the flooring , joists , and part of the stairs , and the landing and ceiling below were cut away . —About half-past eight , a . m ., a distressing accident happened by fire at 15 , Clare Court , Drury Lane , which it is feared , will terminate fatally . A girl , sixteen years of age , named Fanny Turner , by some means not clearly ascertained set ber dress in flames , and in order to obtain assistance she ran
from , the first flaor into tbe shop with the fire raging round her . As speedily as possible the fire was got ont , bnt not until the poor eirl -was frightfully burned . She was removed to King's College Hospital without tbe slightest hope of recovery . —On Monday night , shortly before eight o ' clock , a fire , attended with a serieus destruction of property , broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr Plummsr , a coal-dealer and timber-merchant , situate at 100 , Great Dover Road , Southwark . The premises , which were four stories high , extended backwards a considerable distance , the back portion being filled with piles of timber . The discovery was madeand an alarm given by Sergeant Hay of the Af division .
The flames soon shot through the various windows , and extended almost over the road in one immense body ; at the same time they ascended so high that the metropolis was completely illuminated . So strong was the reflection thatmultitudes of spectators lined the various bridges to witness the pi ogress of the flames . With all possible expedition the engines of the London Brigade , with Mr Superintendent Braidwood and Mr Henderssn arrived , as well as the West of England engine . At tbat period the whole of the timber in the open yard , as well as the front premises , were enveloped in one broad sheet of flame , and the noise occasioned by the combustion of the wood was like the discharge of sundry firearms . Fortunately there was an immediate and an abundant supply of water furnished by the Lambeth
Company , from which the several engines were set to work , but , in spite of the most strenuous exertions , the fire continued to spread , and it waa not extinguished until the whole of Mr Plummer ' s extensive ^ premises were gutted , the bare walls only remaining . Besides which the adjoining' premises of Mr Penny , trimming-seller , are extensively damaged , the roof being burnt off . The loss is considerable , and at present it is unknown whether the sufferers were insured . Owing to the absence cf all parties connected with the premises of Afr Plummer , fears were at one time entertained . that the inmates had been burnt to death , but , from the examination made by the firemen , there is every reason to believe that no one was in the place when the disaster commenced .
¥ atai wages . —An inquest was held before Mr Baker , at tbe Black Lion , New Montague Street , Spitalfields , on the body of C . D ^ lany , aged 36 , a plasterer . —G . Croft , a plasterer , deposed to having known tbe deceased , who , up to the previous Sunday evening , was in good health . On that evening witness was in company with the deceased , in the taproom of the Black Lion , when the deceased wagered , that he would drink twelve pints of porter , within si hour , allowing himself five minutes to each pint , or forfeit ten shillings' worth of drink . The bet was accepted ; and the deceased having drunk ten pints within the specified time , was in the act of drinking the eleventh , when he fell to the ground ,
and was immediately conveyed to his lodgings in a State of insensibility , where he was a'lowed to remain on the floor , wholly unattended , till the Mow ing morning , when , not having rallied , a surgeon was called in ; but the man died on the next day . — The coroner having animadverted in severe terms npon the gross impropriety of such wagers , the jury returned a verdict of * Died from excessive drinking . ' Audacious Street Robbery—Oh Saturday last , a little girl , pipe years old , the daughter of Mr William Redgrave , of York Street , Covent Garden ,
was returning from the house of an acquaintance of her father's and when in Drury Lane , she was asked by an old woman , who wore a handkerchief ov = r her eye , to hold some money whilst she tied her shoe . This she did , and the woman was very profuse in complimenting the child npon her appearance , and having got out of ber who her parents were , and where they lived , she said ske would see her hone , at the same time taking her hand . She led her through some courts and back streets into Lincoln ' s Inn Melds , when the child said that was not the way to her father ' s . The woman said she
was going to make a call on the way , and prevailed on the child to accompany her up a court in Chancery Lane . There the old wretch dragged her into a water closet , and , threatenine to murder her if she ecreemed , proceeded to strip her cf her clothes . She took from her her shoes and stockings , a small woollen paletot cloak , bonnet , and her frock , all of which were new , and said she should return in a minute for the remainder of her clothes . The child iad . allowed herself to be thus Stripped from fear , but oa sooner had the old hag disappeared , than the ran away , and crying , told a gentleman what had ocaarred , and he took her home half dead with cold . Information was givea to the police , and they have obtained a clue to the thief . This is the third case of Ahe land that has come under the UQtice- ' of the poliee within the last week .

Mr Jones , of
, BlackfriarsRoad . surgeon , stated , last meat , watne had made ^ postmortem examination of the body . Un osening the head , he discovered about three ounces of extravasated blood , from a rupture of a vessel of the dura mater ; and above ft waa scalp wound . Tbe rapture was the cause of death , and had been produced by violence . Other witnesses were examined , who deposed to seeing the deceased crossing Blackfriara Road on the afternoon of Thursday last , when the prisoner Wether drove from the direction ef the bridge in a four-wheeled chaise at a rapid pace , and the deoeased wat knocked down . The driver could not help seeing her , but the moment she wasdown ne whipped hia howe and drove away . He was stopped at Rowland Hill ' s Chapel , when ba was found to be quite tipsy , and had to be pulled out by a policeman before he would surrender . The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against George Wether , and the coroner gave his warrant of committal to Newgate .
Cakbiass Acctdbnt—On Friday night week , a man named Clifford , aged twenty-nine , was passing along Charing Cross , and in crossing the road directly opposite Northumberland House , a carriage , driven at a slow pace , belonging to Mr Cripps , of Bond Street , -came up , and the unfortunate man was knocked down by the pole and run over . Three ribs were fractured , a leg broken , and elher extensive injuries were sustained , which caused his death in the Charing Cross Hospital , on Tuesday . Suicide pboji Fn . ui . Affection . — On Saturday last . Afr Mills held an inquest at the Red Lion , Walhsm Green , Folham , on Mary Anne Partridge , aged thirty-five . About four months ago deceased's mother died , and ainee then she bad been exceedingly
dejected , through grief for her mother * * death . Lately she betrayed symptoms of insanity , and gave up a house which her mother had bequeathed her to live with her brother-in-law . On Friday morning week , she put a wheelbarrow close to the water butt , and , mounting the barrow , pitched herself headforemost into tha butt , where she waa soon afterwards discovered by her brother-in-law . Verdict . ' Deceased destroyed herself , but there is no evidence of her state of mind at the time . ' Fatal Accidxht ox the Bbighion and South Coast Rah . wat .-Oo Wednesday evening . Mr Payne , the coroner , held an icqaest at Guv ' s Hospital , on tte body of Cieiar Augustus Page Bumstead , aged twenty-one , late a guard in the employ of the above
railway company , who came by his death on Toes * day last under the following circumstances , Henry Divis , railway porter , deposed that , on Tuesday , he travelled on the line by the quarter-past two Croydon train , from London station , of which train deceased was guard . The train stopped at New Croa * . where it remained the usual time . The starting bell having ronf , the train proceeded to moveslowly from the platform . Witness then observed deceased to make a spring at the projecting handle of the last carriage but three , with the view of assisting himself to his seat on the roof of tho carriage . He appeared , however , to miss his grasp , and was immediately precipitated on to the line between the steps of the carriage and the nlatfora . He seemed to have fallen
in a longitudinal direction , and parallel to the platform , for he was carried along by the train some slight distance without receiving any injury . In his straggles to extricate himself , however , his body got transversely across the rail ? , and before the progress ofthe train could be arrested , the three carriages passed over his body- The practice was no doubt a dangerous one ; but it was no unusual thing for euards to mount their boxes whea the carriages were in motion . Deceased was conveyed to town by the first np-rrain , and was removed to Guy's Hospital , where he expired from the extensive injuries he had received , in three quarters of an hour after his admission . These facta having been corroborated by Benjamin Ford , another railway porter , and Mr Buckle , the anrgeon , tbe coroner summed np , and remarked npon the numerous fatal accidents
resulting from the dangerous and foolish practice of attempting to enter a carriage when the train was in motion . Yardict , ' Accidental death / Gas Exhabvk m Knfo ' s C ixbgb . —An explosion of gas took place on Tuesday evening at King's College . Some fresh pipes have been laid down to convey gas to some portions of the building in which it had not been hitherto employed .

This being the case , however , a quantity escaped into a large passage on the lower story . About six o ' clock some one went into this pasuge with a light , and an explosion immediately occurred . No other damaee was done , however , than the breaking of about 112 squares of glass . No one was injured .

Melancholy Occurrence And Loss Of Life A...
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE .
On Tuesday night a terrible catastrophe occurred at the Victoria Theatre , by which two lives were lost and many persons seriously injured . It appears tbat dnrins ; tbe afternoon an immense- number of persons had congregated at the gallery door of tbe theatre anxious to witness the pantomime , and the instant the place wag opened a general rush to the top o ! the gallery stairs occurred . Tha consequence was that in a few seconds the entire stairs were crowded with men , women , aud children . For some time they remained packed together without evincing any disposition to create a riot , but at length they felt the inconvenience of being so closely wedged to eether that they oould scarcely breathe , and the
parties on the upper part of the stairs made an endea-Tour to get out , when the weaker portion were thrown down and trampled upon . The cries at this period became truly appalline . Those whe were at the bottom of tbe stairs , not liking to lose tbe ) position they had taken , refused to move an inch , backward . Tne crowd above cried as loud as they were sb ' e to those below to let them get down , but without avail , when all of a sudden the pressure from above forced those below against the hand rail , which pare way , and abont thirty persona were thrown down npon tbe crowd standing there . At that time the clearance of tbe lower stairs caused these above to descend , and a general movement from the top to the lower part of the stairs naturally followed . Two parties were thrown down acd trampled upon at the landing just above the snot where
the hand rail was forced down . One or two men who were on the stairs , on seeing the people fainting from the want of air , handed them down as well as they were able , and they estimated the number thus rescued at nearly thirty . They were forthwith taken to Mr Sewell ' s surgery , when it was found that two of the unfmtunate sufferers were qaite dead . They were both lads , aad apparently about the sees of fifteen and sixteen respectively . They were forthwith reaoTed to the vaults of St John ' s Church to ba identified . The other sufferers were alio taken to Mr Sewell s , and were attended to by that oentleman , and also by Mr Brookes and Mr Fairbrother . two othersorgeons living in the immediate vicinity Every assistance was rendered ta tbe parties , two of whom were sent home , although suffering from severe bruises .
ATOITIOHAIPABTICCLARB . On Wednesday morning an inquiry was instituted by the lessee and other officials of the theatre , with a view of ascertaining the precise cause of tbe disaster , and for the adoption of suoh steps as should prevent the recurrence of a similar calamity : bnt the particulars stated upon suoh an examination—it not being an official one—cannot with safety be relied upon . No coroner's inquest has yet been held . — During the forenoon of Wednesday tha bodies of the deceased were identifiad by their relatives , when it was ascertained that their names were William Phillips , of No . 5 , Turk ' s Row . Chelsea ; he was about « JJ »™ ef age ; and John Cwtello , aged 15 , of No . 2 , Plough Court , Fetter Lane . Several anxious parents , who had children missing , visited the church in the
coune of the day for the purpose of viewing the bodies—thus affording melancholy evidence of the faet that & number of children and young persons are frequently lost in London in tha course of a af ? ht of whom the public hear nothing , and the knowledge of whose logs is . csofiied to the bereaved family circle . —Workmen were engaged during the day in repining that part of the hand rail which had been lorn down . —The following were among the parsons injured :-Leonard Tcchin , of 33 , Causton Street , RegentStreet , Westminster , severely injured ; Henrv Frarsr , Providence Yard , Vauxhall bridge Road seriously injured , with , concussion of the brain Henry Neat , 97 , Wickam Street Vauxhall , slightly aniared ; George AateU , 3 , Jthn ' a Place , White Horse Street ; severely injured . There were several other persona who were hurt , but they were taken home by
their friends . —Had it net been for the exertions of the nolioe it is more than probable that several other PBrioM waold n « e tost their Urn So weat waa theorowd outside the theatre that it required the set . vices of between thirty and forty police constables , who were under the direction of Mr Superintendent Rntt , Inspector Rotere , and Serjsant Roales to keep the people back , so that the injured could be removed front the stairs . The whole of tbe other parties injured were found to be , npon making inquiries at their respective residences in the afternoon , going onas weUascould be expected , and nothing fatal in either case ww apprehsnded .

Marlborough Street.-Boxiko Dat.-The Sitt...
MARLBOROUGH STREET .-BoxiKO Dat .-The sitting magistrate , Mr Hardwick , was engaged all Wednesday morning in disposing of oases of drunk and incapable , whioh figured in the police sheets to the number of about fifty , a proportion considerably less than previous ' Boxing Days ' have generally furnished . The excuses were pretty much of tbe same character—namely , the necessity at this particular season of accepting the hospitable effers of friends and acquaintances—and this plea was allowed to have its weight , as far as lightening the usual fine , wherever it could be done with propriety . At the other offices the magistrates were similarly engaged daring a great part of tke day . Numerous oases of attack upon the police were also heard , some of them of a very severe and desperate character .
SOUTHWARK . —Another itisueino Scicidb . —Mary Moss , a respectable-looking woman , was charged with making two attempts to throw herself off Waterloo Bridge into the river . —A gentleman named Biokerbn stated tbat on the preceding night , as he was walking over Waterloo Bridge , he saw the prisoner frem the opposite aide enter one of the recesses and get upon the parapet . Suspecting that she was about to throw herself over , he ran to the spot , and seized her clothes , while she struggled to get free and to precipitate herself into the river . Ho had some difficulty in holding her , and being a strong woman , she did break away from his grasp , and again attempted to ascend the parapet , bnt he prevented it , and a policeman coming up at the time , be gave her into custody . Tho witness added that he subsequently heard her state that she was prompted to make the attempt
upoa her life owing to the brutal treatment she experienced at the hands of her husband . She was perfectly sober at the time . * -The policeman said that the prisoner ' s husband had been keeping up the Christmas holidays , and that he was drunk night and day , and beat and abused her in such a manner that she was compelled to quit the house —The magistrate inquired if her husband waa made aware of what had occurred , and tbe reply being in the affirmative , the husband's name was then called aloud , bnt no answer was returned , and the magistrate having remarked on the heartless conduct of the man , said that after the unfortunate womaa had made such a determined attempt to put an end to her life , he would not feel justified in permitting her to go at large , although she promised not to repeat the attempt , without responsible persons becoming surety for her , and he therefore committed hers
WORSHIP STREET .-Robbeit . — Edwin Davis , a man of rather stylish appearance , was placed at the bar before Mr HatnmUl , charged with having feloniously received a Quantity ef woollen cloth and numerous articles of haberdashery , the property of Mrs Catherine Standon , aa outfitter at Oiford .

urgiag him to transmit te him various articles of clothing , which were particularly specified , and a large parcel , containing a paletot and other property , ib directed by Marshall , haviog been stopped in f ratuftu , Mr Nicholls , tho manager of the establishment , immediately posted to town , and proceeded oa Saturday night , with the officers Flirjerald and OlSbrd , to the prisoner DwU'a house , in Duke Street , Spitalfields . Upon asking the prisoner whether he htd recently received any parcels from the country , he replied not , butafterwardsaoknow . tedged that several had been sent to him from Oxford , containing various property , no part of which , excepting a satin scarf , remained in his possession . On searching tha house , however , they discovered , besides the scarf In question , which was valued at a guinea , a number of
silk and cambric handkerchiefs , arUclss of wearing ap . pare ] , and a remnant of oloth , the whole of which were identified by Mr Hicholls as forming part of the pro . perty stolen from hit employer's premises . A large packet of letters was alio found , relating to the different consignments , in the handwriting of Marshall , and In answer te corresponding ones from Davis , whioh were taken from the former at the time of his apprehension . Amongst the letters lu tht priseaer ' s handwriting , ad * dressed to Marshall , and produced by the foreman , was one whioh , after adverting to a previous proposal to send him something for Christmas , proceeded in these words : — 'You are poking yoar kindness again upoa me , my boy , hut I will not tax your generosity , so much tbis time . Ton write ma that yoa are sticklna it Into the Oxford tradesmen , Tbafs right , my hoy , keep up jour dignity at their expense , - gentlemen like you can't , of course , be expected to wear shabby clothes . But I'll tell
yoa what yoa can do for me ;'— -and ths letter then wound up with a request that he would send him a paletot and other articles , which exactly tallied with the contents of the parcel above referred to as having been intercepted in its coarse to tho prisoner ' s address in town . A pair of gold shirt-links , valued at a guinea , but which had besn pledged by the prlsouer Davis for 8 j ., were produced by the shopman of Mr Darker , a pawnbroker In Honndsdltcb , aad were also identified by Mr Nicbolls , as the property of the prosecutrix . —Mr Pelbam , on behalf of the prisoner , submitted that the evidence in identification of the property was of too loose aad unsatisfactory a character to justify a committal but Mr Hammill considered that the ownership and ualawful poututou had been ( ally established , aua there , fore ordered the prisoner to be conveyed forthwith to Oxford , In the custody of the officers , to undergo hia trial before tbe local authorities .

where it was cashed , and he receipted it in Mr Gardener ' s nama . He had . ' ever since been squandering away the caoaey la profligacy , aud having spent the whole of it , his mind wat seised with compunction , and he determined on delivering himself at onoa to the police , in order that be might be brought to justice , A clerk from the IiBue-office in the Bank of England deposed that the bill was brought to the Bank and paid in on the 20 th ofKorembcr , and had been drawn on the 13 : hefthe same month , and the value was received through Couttt aad Co . Mr Coaibe asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything in Ms deftnoa to the charge ? Tritc-ntr ; I have nothing at all to say , only that all stated is quite true .

The Rational Mode Of Permanently And Pea...
THE RATIONAL MODE OF PERMANENTLY AND PEACEABLY ADJUSTING THE PRESENT DISORDERED STATE OF EUROPE .
( Concluded from the Star , Dec . 23 . ) Law 13 . "That it is a lair of nature , obvious to our senses , that the Internal or external character of all that have life upon the earth , is formed Voft them and not by them ; that in accordance with this law , the internal and external character of man is formed for him and not by him , and therefore men cannot rationally have merit or demerit attributed to them , or be praised er blamed , or rewarded or punished .
REASONS FOR THIS LAW , No one possessing thet power of accurate observation and reflection , can doubt that that which is created or formed is unconscious of its own formation , and that that which has life becomes conscious of its own existence only when fanned . But such has been the insane state of mind of our ancestors , that they have attributed the possession of the qualities given to the individual human being created , or formed , the merit or demerit of creating those qualities . himself , although he could have had no knowledge whence those qualities proceeded , or any control over their formation or combination .
This mistake has been the GRE AJT ERROR of the human race from the 'beginning of known history ; the origin of evil , the source of every crime , and now the chief , if not the sole cause of misery throughout all nations and people . v It is the moat fatal error ever made by man , and now bars his progress to rationality , deranges his mental faculties , and divides him from his fellows all the world over . On this fatal foundation have all the institutions of man been based ; This has been the source of hia religions , governments , codes of laws , and classification of society ; of his injudicious rewards , and unjust and cruel punishments ; of his fears in this life of a future diabolical
everlasting punishment , and of hopes in another state of existence of happiness , happiness which , but for this error , might be soon securely enjoyed in this life , and renewed and improved through every succeeding generation . In short , it is the cause of making man -irrational , disunited , uncharitable , and miserable , when he might now be made highly intelligent , charitable , kind , united , and happy . The first step to ameliorate the condition of the human race , and to put it in the direct road to union , rationality , and happiness , will be for the authorities of the world openly to abandon this fatal falsehood , and all its misery-producing consequences in practice .
Law 14 . "That the knowledge of this fact , ( see previous law , ) with its all-important consequences , will , necessarily create in every one a new , sublime , and pure spirit-of charity fer the convictions , feelings , and conduct of the human race , and dispose them to be -kind to all that has life , seeing that tbis varied life is formed by the same Incomprehensible Power that has given man his peculiar faculties . "
REASONS FOR THIS LAW Without charity—pure' practical charity for mankind—there can be no real virtue or rationality in the mind or conduct of men ; but this charity has never yet existed among any nation or people . It is not to be given by precept ; as well may the human race be told to fly without giving efficient wings , as to tell them to feel universal charity without creating the cause which can alone produce it . Charity is a necessary effect , emanating alone from an accurate and extensive knowledge of human nature ; from knowing that the natural
qualities and propensities of men are formed for Jthem at birth , without their consent and knowledge , and that their" subsequent character and conduct are the necessary result of the inferior or superior circumstances in which they are placed by society . Bid the authorities of the world possess this invaluable knowledge , they would know how easily and certainly all men might be made from their birth to receive this knowledge , and be made to become not only charitable in mind and conduct to the full extent of its divine expression , but , in consequence , to be also good , wise , and happy ,
With this knowledge of humanity , the most important knowledge yet acquired by man , the human race will attain a new life ; anger , and all the vicious and inferior passions , with all falsehood , will die their natural death ; truth , unalloyed with deception of any kind , will become the universal language of men ; they will have new minds and feelings formed within them ; strifes and congests will cease universally ; man will not only be kind to his own
species , but , to the extent practicable , to all that has life ^ The earth , as population can be made . to increase , will be reclaimed from its original wild condition , drained , fertilised , made healthy and beautiful ; and humanity , for the first time , will be enabled to enjoy , in innocence and purity , its natural rights , unrestricted except by the mind highly cultivated , knowing how and desirous to create the greatest permanent amount of happiness for all .
If there be wisdom and intention in creation , it must be to produce , at the earliest period , the happiness Of all sentient beings . Increased knowledge in man will stimulate him to aid , with all his wondrous powers , this great advent of all existence . Innumerable , illimitable new powers from science have been given to aid man ' s limited natural power , to enable him to become an active agent in making our planet a terrestrial paradise . Pure , genuine ) , universal charity is the only true motive power that can work
these all-powerful means for their rightful purposes , and secure , in perpetuity , the happiness of terrestrial existence ; and . thus will man cease to contend with his Creator , and longer to oppose his ignorance or inexperience to the wisdom of nature . Law 15 . "That it is man ' s highest interest to acquire an accurate knowledge of those circumstances which produce EVIL to the human race and of those which produce GOOD , and to exert all his powers to remove the former from society and to create around it the latter only . ' '
REASONS FOR THIS LAW . Of ail the sciences yet acquired by man , the knowledge ofthe science of the overwhelming influence of circumstances over human nature , is , beyond all estimate , the most important . The future happiness or misery of all of the human race depend upon it , and are now under its immediate control . With this knowledge , immediate !? , wisalv
acted upon , the population of the world may soon be relieved from its present sin aud misery . Were all the late scientific great improvements and discoveries introduced over the world , metal money reduced to dross , and industry and wealth everywhere made to superabound , and to be superabundant for the rational wishes of all , Europe and North America may be made rational and happv in ess than five years , and Asia and Africa in less than ten .

causes of evil over the earth may be removed , and the causes of good may be made to supersede them . Is it not , then , man ' s highest interest to exert all hia power to acquire the knowled ge to remove the causes of evil from his race , and ! to supersede them with those causes which , shall produce good only , and to apply this divine knowledge to immediate practice I True charity , based on the knowledge of the laws of humanity , applied to practice , under the direction of the science of'the
overwhelming influence of circumstances ovet human nature , will easily and speedily effect this great change in the condition of man over the earth , and in its wondrous results greatly surpass the accumulated wonders of the past period of human existence . Thus will the cause of good and evil become familiar to man , and for the future be placed ,, by this new knowledge , under his control ; he will thus be new-formed in mind , regenerated ,, made rational , intelligent , beautiful and highly refined in person , manner , and conduct .
Prepared thus , by the influences of superior and good circumstances only , he will be ready to receive the wedding garments to enable him t « become an inhabitant , not of aa imaginary heaven in or above the clouds , hut of a substantial paradise upon our own earth . Then , and not till then , will there be real Liberty , EauAuir , and Fraternity ; and this is the change for which Europe is today so blindly contending for and against * The Socialists blindly attempting , with in * efficient knowledge and an erroneous spirit ,, to attain it ; while their opponents , possessing only the errors of past times , vainly oppose , and desire to retain the unjust and absurd state of things as they are , producing to all , endless evils and miseries . '
The contest between , the existing false and irrational system which is most injurious to all , and the true and rational system which will be permanently most beneficial to all , may * arising from the present irrational state of both contending parties , be severe and cruel in its progress ; but as Truth is about to prevail over error the ultimate result admitsof no doubt .

Emcr Of Fright.—One Of The Most Affectin...
Emcr of Fright . —One of the most affecting occurrences in the life of Campbell was the conveyance by himself and wife of their only son to a mad * house as an incurable lunatic All the particulars about that melanchely episode are of the moat pain , ful interest . Describing many of the inmates , tha poet says :- —* You may remember a horrible inci * dene , a few years ago , on the Salisbury road , whea a lion broke loose from a caravan . All escaped intoa house bat two men , one of vhem was killed by tbe wild beast on tbe spot ; the other flew to an ad * jacent house . It was locked by those who fled to ic for shelter . Tbe poor fugitive saw the lion , after killing his companion , stalk slowly towards tha house . He shrunk up to the side of the wall . The >
monster glared upon him , but , by soma unaccountable accident , passed hits , and went on . At that moment , he said , he felt exactly as H half of hia head had been torn off . Nevertheless his senses did not immediately forsake him , for he proceeded to London * and had composure enough to draw up a distinct ao « count of the catastrophe ; but his intellect boob after fell to ruins , and he is now incurable . '—Beat * tie ' s Life of Campbell . Wbboks . —The brig Margaret , of and from Stocks ton , coal-laden , and bonnd tor Aberdeen , wa | wrecked on the morning of the 20 th , in attempting to make the harbour . The sea at the time was running very high , and a strong gale blew frem theaenth east . Ne sooner did the vessel get among tue > broken waves than she ceased to obey her helm * When almost close to the pier-head , and just about to enter , a heavy tea struck her on the starboard aide , and hove her to the north of the pier , while a .
succeeding one carried her farther to the back of the breakwater , where she struck . Immediately after ,, a tremendous swell swept the deck , and washed away the master . The mate and rest of the crew got oa shore by means of lifebuoys . The body of tha master was recovered the same evening . —The-Clydesdale , of Glasgow , Thomas Auld , master , laden with cotton , from Chsrleatown for Glasgow , was totally wrecked on the island of Colonsay on the night of tbe 15 th . The crew , including the master and mate , consisted of twenty-two ; of that number fifteen were taken on shore , and the rest drowned ; nine of the number were first saved by some brsti belonging to Colonsay . The captkin and five men remained on the wreck for several hours , and would have perished had net the wreck left the rock oo . which it first struck , and come to the shore of tha island , when they got on shore .
