Monday. The " Times" Iot The " Stab."—Wh...
MONDAY . The " Times" _iot the " Stab . "—While we admit tlie right of the Thunderer to print on Monday tiie material portions of our article ot the previous Saturday in its own phraseology , common courtesy entitles us to an acknowledgment of the fact . In this age of inconsistency , the _newspaper that supports the NEW PRINCIPLE should , of all others , be tiie lcast _ashamed to confess the source to which it is entitled for its new conceptions . We have 110 objection whatever to the _ Y „ K 6 adorning our -hnple truths , plainly told , in its peculiar mysterious phra--eulogy . The sum and substance of our grievance is this : the lima of Monday makes it an invariable t 11 ' j ' * ' * '
practice "te cog" our leading article of Saturday for its principal leader of Monday _. and we defy any man who has read the Star of Saturday and the Times of Monday , upon that part ofthe Ministers policy respecting compensation to agriculturist- in the prono-ed alterations in local taxation and management , to come to any other conclusion than tbat toe are the great schoolmaster , and the Timet our pupil . The Times had four whole days to consider the several proposed « lterat ' wnB , and during that period laughed at them as insignificant , but , oa tbe tifth , adopted our « ews , and appreciated them _as great boons . What we have to expect in future , then , is this-that the lima will acknowledge its obligations to us thus : * '
A HA S H _FK O M _S-T-B-U- _' b " XOBTHKB- STAR . The _PnoTEcnoMsrs a > d their Tools . —So , then , the r _eefconiugdayka-i come , and agricultur al lury , heretofore unconnected and weak , bas been gathered into a storm , which threatens , if not a dissolution Ot Parliament , at least » severance of that hiirmomouB connection which so long existed between the farmer _. and their friends ; and hence , like well-bred dogs , wc see the agricultural pups walking out ofthe houve through the "Chiltcrn Hundreds" door , before they are kicked into the street . We always predicted that the time would come when Peel ' s pipe would rallv the men "THAT WHISTLED AT THE PLOUGH" against the HACKS that WHISTLE IN DOWNING-STREET . Wliich of the lines will Peel bow select as th « watch-wcrd for his future struggles ? Are they'to he peaceful or warlike ? Are they to be—Ilk eao qui _omndaxn gracHi mo-u _& ki avena _.
or _Jinaatiremj-eeoiw _Trqja _^ _tpritriH * ab oris ? The Tk _Honns' B _ a axd JjObd Ashley . —The fate of this unfortunate measure has been truly _romuntic . No sooner does it appear to be within the easy grasp of those who have so long cherished hope ia its enactment , and who have supported it with such heroic and untiring devotion , than anon it vanishes _Sike a phantom , leaving little but the temporary astonishment it created for the pur-led mind to reflect upon . The year before last it was strong , substantial , and _gigaxitto , BUnedinto form by the breath from without , aud _btawn into strength by the voice
of the majority within . It suddenly acquired importance , paralysed its putative father , and after * Mini-tena ! tribute ta his tenderness and parental affection , the pareat tent it again to nurse till any little Ministerial _deformity should have _beea removed . In _cfltspIiaHee with its noble parent's desire its friends -and supporters allowed it to rest until a _ ae _. e fitting opportunity should present itself for its -te-appearance , and in accordanae witk _t _* his policy the noble lord , early in the session , aad « fca time peculiarly fitting to its _introduction , _reaews the subject . He says , " Behold my monster-now ! See it , look well , feast your eves ; for a little time ye shall see it , and for a
GREAT WHILE TE SHALL NOT SEE IT . " It waa our misfortune to hc compelled , in the excrcise ofa ven- painful duty , to speak severely , if not reproachfully , of the noble lord ' s first retreat ; but what are we -to say of his second ?—when victory was _indisputable—when the triumph of labour was within his gras . p . Is it too much to say that there was as much -significance in the SHAKE of tho Premier ' s hand , as there was in the portentous NOD of _Loi-d Burleigh ' s head ? A member of Parliament should _weigi-consequences and balance results , and should not-capriciously preserve a mock , a puerile , and hypocr-tical consistency at the expense of the interest of millions of toil-worn slaves . Lord Ashley had a more noble , a more just , and a more
equitable _couree before Kim than that of Ministerial pander er . Parliameiitary consistency . He was at best but the delegate of the majority of Dorsets ' nVre farmers , while he was the representative of mil-ions _-ctttcred over tbe face of the country , whose confidence heihas foully betrayed , and whose cause he has _unfairlyjj-qpardise _' d . What ' s the opinion or _even-the existence of all the farmer- of Dorsetshire in comparison with the importance of a measure which would _stopslotriand continuous torture , a lingering existence , and premature death , as the rule of ai immense population ? If Lord Ashley was more -sensitive upon the subject of his Parliaraentaiy consistency than upon ihe incalculable blessings that must flow from that social reform which was within his reach , he
should betake himself to retirement amd solitary reflection , and not again intrude his sensitive _ineffici' _-iray upon thousands , aye , millions , who are now SLAVES TO HIS CAPRICE . Lord - __ etey = migut have saved bis consistency , and at the same time have prsserved his dignity , his party , and his principles by taking the sense ofhis constituents , as their delegate , and , bv voting accordingto their directions , _havestlll remain _astherepresentativeof _^ he-working classes . This would have been the honourable course ,-and one that would have been -estt _ . f _ c .-ry to all ; we trust , however , that the _principle-will gain strength by the command being tran % f erred to tbe incorroftible and indomitable Fielden , < . « e . 'AshIey
who retires in disgrace . Now , it will not _do-for-Lord _Ashlevitoplay fast and loose with this _ftuestion—to run with the hare and hold with the hound—it will not docto make Dorsetshire a HACK , and infant lab _ ur a HOBBY-HORSE—it will not do-to come and go , for mayhap some other _tainisterial crisis may pre-ettfc * -. fresh difficulty , which would make it incumbent npon the noble lord to resign the house and the question , rather than impede the progress of tbe _basineaa-of the country ; which _aneans'the passing of railwav bilk , raising supplies , -coercing the working _classed *_ d spending their ratney . . Lord . ' AHhley . then ,- __» never again be permitted to take the lead in a question which he has trace deserted , and to accomplish which he lacks the moral courage .
Mr . _F-XRAire axd the _Leagoe . —In : faith , - _ ut the _honouraWe membor for Knaresborough hashad more than a taste of free trade philosophy ,, and * we presume he _undefstands their knuckles better than their arguments .

lingar sessions for firing at Sir Francis Hopkins , will not be executed , and tbat his sentence will be commuted to transportation for life . We think this is thc least reparation to a miserable man who was convicted by a _secondjury , frightened into unanimity by the threatened starvation of their predecessor .. C-XSK _ftUEJ-CKS OF Bad LaW AND LANDLORD _Ttrasst . —We give in another column reports of more murders and "shooting , " collected from the Tory press , that has been long bellowing for coercion . From these accounts we learn that oue man wasfired at on his way home , but wc have given previously many instance- of outrages committed upon the HATS and GARMENTS of individuals by their own hands . We tendered the following evidence to
Mr . Lyttleton , then Secretary for Ireknd , wheu the Whig government was getting up the howl for coercion , but the Whig secretary refused to aid . ns in the exposure of the guilty parties : —A celebrated Orangeman , who waa a major tn the army , was , together with sonic other LARKING DEFENDERS OF THEIR COUNTRY , on a visit with a gallant captain , and the whole party , with faces blackened * and otherwise disfigured , essayed , in thc middle of a dark winter ' s night , to ransack the neighbouring farm-houses , their object being to swear the occupants to be White Boys , and to beg money to buy fire-arras and ammunition . The outrage was strongly relied upon by the Irish coercion / sis , and when we discovered the plot from one of the guilty
party , whosincerelyrepentedofhisfolly , and , although we had his permission to communicate the facts to the government , together with his name and what he could prove , thc government refused any participation in tlie trial ef the offenders . So much for the mode of making out a case for coercion , and the real value ofthe ho \ vl to Ireland ' s oppressors . In 1823 a gallant captain of a yeomanry corps , who wished to be put on permanent pay , as well as being desirous to recommend himself to his employers , one night , on his return from a party , dismissed hi * servant , who was accompanying him home with a lantern , and after a lapse of time , more than sufficient to have gone ten times the distance , he ran home breathless , -with his hat on his head , declaring that he was fired at , but tbat he didn't
know whether he was hit or not ; leaving . it to his afflicted family to discover the bullet hole in his UNMOVED hat . The hoax was so gross , and so clumsily done , that , although it served as a justification for' increased tyranny , the author was the sufferer , for he became a perfect laughing-stock to his neighbours . Ten hearty ruffians ean , in any ten days in the year , establish strong * t rounds for coercion . Ireland , however , never ought to be quiet , and we trust never will be quiet , until the Protestant Church EstaMishment is destroyed , toot and branch , —until her sons are allowed to cultivate the soil for their own benefit , and until every man of twenty-one years of age shall have a vote for the representative who is to make the laws to govern him .

FOREIGN . _FbascsisnEmiASB . —Still the war of "WHO SHAL L ! " rages in the French Chambers . The national sympathy is in fevour of America , while ministerial expediency leads towards the great maritime neighbour . Upon the whole , we incline to think that Africa and DOMESTIC PROGRESSION , together with the _unquietness by which the great nation is bounded , will give the despots quite enough to do upon their own account , without burning their fingers in % meddling war . For further foreign new . see our general Foreign Summary . _E-jaovEAi .

-On the 6 th , a Mr . Bowlin addressed thc House , and breathed dreadful _fiuy against Great Britain inparticu-! _. r , and the monarchical state * of Europe in general . He would not , according to the report of the United States Courier , cede an inch for the purpose of preventing a war , but would rather , on the contrary , give up the whole territory of Oregon to have a war , which might give him lhe opp <_ rtuni . y of coming to Europe to instil the principles of _liherty amongst the European _population , and to teach them how to dethrone tbe despots who have , he _saji , vowed an implacablo hatred against America .
By the above , it appears that we did not miscalculate , when we announced that the question of nonintervention inthe President's message would be the greatest ftt _ m-ii _ g--l-ck to tbe European League of Kings ; and Louis Philippe , whose tenure hangs , perhaps , upon the slightest thread , has set his Minister at War ' s wit to work from the commencement of the French _sessions till the present moment , to see how he can best stem the torrent of non-intervention , which , ia common language , means nothing more ov less thaa the uninterrupted progress of democratic institutions .
TUESDAY . Tub _Motsteb axd the Lbacde . —The League are playing the dodge , and not a bad one either , of keeping their forces together until the fate of the _Mmi-teral measures are known . They are mindful of the old adage , " MUCH WILL HAVE MOltE , " and will , therefore , frighten the already terrified landlords into a tame acquiescence in the proposed measure , by threatening them , in case of sulk , with a total and immediate repeal . It reminds us of the Irish traveller in the olden time , who , with a sixpence
in the left hand and a bit of blackthorn in the right , said to a lazy postboy , " Here's this ( the sixpence ) if you go on , aud this ( the blackthorn ) if you don't . " There ' s nothing like a stone in the sleeve , and for that reason we shall keep our ' s snug until the sixpence and bit « f blackthorn have done their work , and then our Chartist stone shall go into the " sling " of agitation ; . as the League may rest assured that they are not going to wrest political power out of the hands ofthe multitude , to be used lor thc irrevocable subjugation of labour .

When the debate comes on , every finger will be feeling in the pie for its own plum , and we very much fear , that when finally arranged , if the Minister does not show pluck , that when the pie is _opened tho labourers will find that the stones only remain in the bottom as their share . We anticipate no small amusement from aperu ~ al of the many discoveries that will be brought to hear upon the IMPRACTICABILITY OF THIS PORTION , THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF CARRYING OUT TLIAT PORTION , and the actual UNSOUNDNESS OF
LEGISLATING U _. ON THE OTHER PORTION ; so that from present appearances wc should not be at all astonished to find that , like the old brig Elizabeth , she , from frequent repairs , hadn't one remaining plank of her original hull ; that the allmighty measure turned out to be no measure at all , as , * in truth , the criticising _pvees _hai already commenced the work of emasculation , each _selocting tho portions most favourable to its own readers .
IKELAND . Coercion . — -There can be little doubt that as won as the great commercial policy is disposed of , thc Irish red box will be opened , containing the hue and cry of eveiy murder that has been committed in Ireland for thc last fifty years , as the groundwork of a new Coercion Bill .
WEDNESDAY . The Tew Hot / Re' Bill . —We rcjoico to find that the Thunderer is not so irrevocably steeped in free trade pledges as to be forced from the advocacy of tlie all-important principle of Short Time ; .. nd if the Times ouly succeed-in keeping up the steam in favour of the holy cause to a successful issue , tve shall willingly , gladly , and cheerfully accord to it that ascendancy which it bas long struggled to achieve , but which it never will deserve until it can point to some substantial measure that it has wrung from the rich oppressor in favour of the poor oppressed . _^ We propose once more to take our humble position as private soldiers in the Short Time ranks , and to devote a month or more , if necessary , to the continuous
agitation of the subject , in order to back its supporters within , with an amount of petitions from without tbat will fairly astonish tlie untutored minds of our sapient representatives . Now , we never promise what we do not mean to perform , but we do promise , upon our own part , and whicli cannot be had witiiout our energy and agitation , ONE MILLION SIGNATURES , praying tor the adoption of the _mea-iire , as soon as we are convinced that they will be availably used by it * Parliamentary supporters . _IticHAnn Oastlbb ash tub Ten Houkb' Bill . — Men sometimes cannot _comprehend the great importance of a subject in which , at first sight , individual importance can only appear . Despite thi * difficulty , however , we contend that no subject ol
greater importance can possibly present itself to our mind at the present moment than that of FORCING Richard Oastler into the House of Commons , whether he will or no . If not the inventor , he is thc renovator , the improver , and the engineer of thc shorttime machinery ; and lie . is the man , above all others in this world , to enforce the weight of the pressure from without , to strengthen the opinions within upon the subject . Moreover , we wish the question ol labour to be forced in all its phases upon the _consideration of the house , pending the debate upon the Ministerial policy ; and we know of no man on earth whose advocacy of labour ' s social rights would have so astounding an effect upon the Protectionists as that of Richard Oastler . He has a way peculiar to
himself , and , at the same time , not distasteful to tho most critical , of plumping out truths and strong facts , and lab . mr VULGARITIES , which in another , man would be called rude , but in him would be thought knowledge . There is an earnestness , a sincerity , a vigour , an irresistible courage about the Old King , which sets feeble opposition at defiance , and laughs prejudice out of countenance . Shall we , then , without a general election , put our every shoulder to the wheel , and give to the Ten Hours' cause a commander that can neither Joe corrupted , bribed , or intimidated ? By all that is just , we would suffer any amount of privation to hear the lion of labour roaring amongst the wolves . We say again , that perhaps if we were writing our
fingers oif , we could not suggest any change that would be more conducive to tlie cause of labour than that of transforming the quiet gentleman into a bustling representative . Nothing could be more easy , * and if the friends of Short Time , and the friends of liberty generally , back us in our endeavour , we have no doubt of success . We _attaah more importance to the question of Short Time than to all the _Ministerial measures of Sir _Robart Peel put together , or to all other measures , except the People's Charter . And , in point of fact , the greatest importance that we do attach to Peel ' s measures , is the conviction that they must inevitably lead to an adjustment between animate and inanimate producing power .
Again , we repeat , that no power on earth can give the people any command over the power of capital , and the dominion of their masters , until there is such a demand for labour as will make the child , Capital , obedient to its parent , Labour . And we further assert , that full and unrestricted free trade in erery * thing , with the unrestricted lise of machinery , would be the greatest cursa that could befall this country , as the inevitable result would be an active and destroying competition in slave labour , to maintain our manufacturing pre-eminence abroad ; and no man in England can so effectually bring tliis question before the Liouse and the country , as Richard Oastler , the KING OF THE FACTORY CHILD !
No Vote , no Muskbt J—In another place will be found the proceedings of several public meeting _* which have been held in opposition to the proposed embodiment of the militia . Mr .

We commend Mr . Sturge's speech for other reasons ; it was full of that milk ol human kindness for whicli its author is so celebrated . We are glad to find that the gathering was a mixture of Chartist and the Complete Suffrage party .

ing in support of Sir Robert Peel ' s five years industrial residence , which we regret not having room for . This article is more elaborate upon tbe same subject than our comment in yesterday ' s Summary . It treats at large the subject that we tliere merely glanced at . The pith of the article is , that a minister should net allow the rights of the poorto be made a bone of contention by the rich ol different classes ; and in order to strengthen an impression , which never should have faded , as to the injustice of seducing agricultural labourers to the manufacturing _di . trjcto , we give the following correspondence , which is extracted from the article in question : — Extract of a letter from Mr . Edmund Ashworth to his " respectedfriend , Edward Chadwiek , _Toor Law Commis-Kion-otlict . "
" Thin bespeaks a scarcity of labourers here * , at tho same time , great complaints are made of surplus populaii » n in the agricultural counties , and societies are formed for transporting tlicm lo our colonies and other countries , whilst here our deficiency is made up by a vast influx from Ireland of ignorant , discontented , and turbulent people , who , introducing and widely spreiiding their own habits , hava a tendency gradually to demoralise our own native population , " He then suggests , that " the greatest possible facility sliould be afforded to families who should be willing or desirous of removing from the agricultural counties , where _worK'i . scarce , to the manufacturing' districts , where it is abundant . " This recommendation is followed up by Mr . Robert Hyde Greg , of Manchester , who thus addresses Mr . Chadwiek : —
" I have for some time thought of addressing you on the same matter as my friend _Aehworth did » ome time ago-, namely , the propriety of opening a communication between our ( strange to su ;) _umicrpeopied districts and the southern overpeopled ones . " It is at this moment a most important suggestion , and deserves to be put into immediate operation . " It must be looked upon as a happy coincidence that at the period of depriving or curtailing perhaps tbe facilities of gaining a livelihood to the people of _one-liulf of England , and causing a full in their present low wages , and a scramble amongst them for employment , there should exist a dilliculty in obtaining labourers at extravagant wages in these northern couaties . This fortunate occurrence should be taken advantage of _.
" The suggestion I would make is thiB , that somo official channel of communication should be opened in two or three of our large towns with your office , or any office , to which the most overcharged parishes might transmit lists of their families . Manufacturers short of labourers , or starting new < oncerns , might look over the lists and select , as they might require ( for the variety of our wants is great ) , large families or sinall ones , young children or grown up , men or widows , or orphans , ic . " Now let the reader read the above , in connection with our comment on Lord Stanhope ' s letter , and he will see how all the friends of the poor , however they may diifcr in politics , sometimes think alike . We would really recommend every person who can get hold of the Times of Thursday , thc 5 th of February , to read the third leading article .

Those pliant-minded gentlemen really thought that they had nothing to do but to change thoir opinions for pelf and patronage , and that their pliant supporters should as quickly change theirs . " What , " said an Irish patriot to a borough-monger in the Irish Parliament , who had purchased hiB seat , " Are you going to sell your country ?

If Peel is as wise as we take him to be , ho will keep his practitioner operating during the whole debate upon his measures , buying everything , no matter what , that has a tendency to inspireconSdence in government , for he may rest assured that when his measures are carried , we shall all for a time tumble into the same pot . Until Peel ' s measures are fully and practically developed—that is , for throe years at least , not a single man will know who he is , what he is , where he is , what he is about , or what he ' s worth .

What a pity , that while protectionists and free traders can extract pledges , the violation of which involves the loss of seat , that the people , for whose especial benefit the power is said to be conferred , can only squeeze out a bit of mock sympathy . But never mind , every old adage is in our favour : " It ' s along lane that has no turn , " "The longest daymust have an end , " "There ' s luck in leisure , and pleasure in waiting for it . "

Destructive Fire. Newcastie.Upon-Ttns , ...
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE . Newcastie . upon-Ttns , Tuesday . — A most destructive fire occurred this morning at the extensive locomotiveengine manufactory of Messrs . R . and W . Hawthorn , at the Forth Bunks , in this town . The principal portion of the manufactory has been completely destroyed , together irith a numberof locomotive engines in _progress , and nearl y the whole of the valuable models Of locomotive and other machinery . The fire originated in the joiners' shop , which formed the second story of an immense rectangular building in the centre of the works , the lower story heing tln _ locomotive shop , where the locomotive engineB are put together after their several parts have been manufactured in the various parts ofthe establishment .
The fire was discovered between four and five o'clock in the morning by John Reside , the night watchman , who shortly before had let one of the workmen , a joiner , named _Mosscrop , into the premises to complete some work he had left unfinished the previous night , He observed the fire from the east window of the joiners' shop , and tried to effect an entrance , but could not for the smoke . He then gave the aiarm , _andllosscrop and another man who came into the yard at the time ran away for the _firo-engines , aud to give information to the foremen aud the police . The fire-engines were on the spot with unusual celerity , but the fire bad then attained such a height , that all attempts to extinguish it were useless , so that the _cxertiens of the firemen and police wero chiefly directed towards preventing the fire spreading to the adjoining premises . A detachment of soldiers from the garrison , with the brigade tngme , were presently on the
ground , and rendered very _ussfeBtial _ternce , An im _« mense number of _pertons had col _lected outside the works , watching the progress of the devouring element , which raged with irresistible fury , and / eemed to threaten tha entire neighbourhood . In _littler / ore than an hour the work of destruction was _complete , the roof of the building fell in , the ponderous wheelsr of the locomotive tenderburst through the burning riffters of the floor , and the whole place was wrapped in one intensely burning Same . The cause ofthe intensity ofthe heat and the magnitude ofthe flame was soon discovered to procted from the gas , which had been turned into the pipes a few minutes before the fire broke out , and on the melting ofthe pipes , which ran in various directions along the building , the gas ignited , and , being fed from the main , it continued to burn with appalling fury till the supply was cut off by choking the pipe , tbe meter and the main tap being inaccessible from the fire . The workmen of tbe establish .
ment were exceedingly active ; but from the first it was evident that no efforts could save the principal building and its contents ; but to those , with a few trifling ex * _ceptions , the _destruction was confined . No one sus . tained any serious personal injury . The damage is estimated at from £ 1 G , 000 to £ 20 , 000 , and the works ars insured in the Leeds and Yorkshire Insurance-office , but not , it is understood , to the entire ai _ o __ - -f i _ -l- _ s . The most serious inconvenience and loss will result from the suspension of the works , and the impossibility of completing contracts within the stipulated period .
The house is understood to have contracts for work that will keep the establishment fully employed for three yoaTS to come , and the utmost exertions have been made for some time past to keep pace with the extraordinary demand for locomotive power in all parts of the world A notice was affixed to the entrances of the premises this forenoon , intimating that all the workmen employed in this portion of the establishment that had escaped the fire were to resume labour at one o ' clock to-day , and arrangements are being made , with the usual promptitude of tbe enterprising firm , to repair the dumage wilh as little delay as possible .
The origin of tho fire appears clearly traceable to Mosscrop , the joiner , who entered the premises shortly after four o ' clock in the morning , and who , it seems , went into the tender . room wilh a lantern to get his saw , as be confesses having opened the _lantom door , and the five was _discovered by the watchman a very short time afterwards . These circumstances having come to tbe knowloflge o £ the police , they made _inquirits for Mosscrop and fouud that he had never been in the yard after leaving it when the fire broke out , in order to fetch the engines . They proceeded to his lodgings and found him sitting by the fire-side , on which they took him into custody and conveyed him to the police-station , where a preliminary in . vestigation has been instituted during the day .
After hearing lhe evidence of the watchman , which was similar to thc statement above given . Robert Mosscrop was examined . He handed in a long written statement , of which the following Is the most material portion —¦ " I tins told by the foreman of the joiners' shop , John Haddon , yesterday morning , that I had to work on till a quarter past ten o ' clock at night , when 1 remarked that he might let me off if possible , as I had promised to go and play the violin at Mr . Douglas ' s , where I always play when the violin is wanted . He did not say much to it , andi considered it settled till night , when one of the men told me I hud to work on . I got a ' glift of John Haddon , and I told him that if it laid upon that I would not stop , as it would dissappoint them 1 was going to play fov , but , if it suited , I would come in at four o ' clock and finish tho
box I was doing . He said that would do , audi fulfilled my promise and came to work . I think it was about a quarter after four o ' clock when I came to the door , and I knocked four or five times and rang the bell . After a great deal to do , the _wnteh came to the door and let me in . He was about dead asleep . I went into the time-office to get my time-board out , and a lantern to go upstairs to get my saw out , and when I got into the time-office , the watchman asked me what the devil I wanted there , nnd I told hira I had to start at four o ' clock , and I was wanting the Jantern . He threw himself on to the drawers -and seemed quite dead asleep . I got hold of the lantern , and not being accustomed to lanterns of that description , thewick had gone in , and I held it to tbe gas to light it , andit would not take hold . The watchman put the wick right , and I lighted it , and shut the lantern door , and went up into the shop , to get my saw out . I was not three minutes
in the shop , till I came out again ; and I had not the door of tho lantern open till I got to the drawer to get my saw out , and then I closed it again and came down stairs . I saw no fire , nor smelt any smell . " He further stated , that he went to a shed and got a candle , nnd thon went into the smiths' shop to get a candlestick . Bid not know where tho watchman was all that time . On returning from the smiths ' shop he met tie watchman coming for the lamp , and gave it to hi _ _i . _Thwi \ wa _ t int . Wished , aud had been there at _workjabout a quurtar-of-anbour when the watchman called out and said , ' "ho hsd set the place on fire . " Went to call the foreman , and afterwards went to call for the fire-engines , when ho met some' policemen , who told him the _fire-enginemen had been warned . Returned to the yard , but could not get in , and , after standing a while outside , went home , and was there taken into custody .
JoUu Haddon , foreman of the joiners , confirmed Mo ? - _, crop ' s _statemi-ut of what took place between them the preceding day . Had received orderB from Kr . Dunn to get certain work done , as it was required to-day , and at the request of Mosscrop consented to his leaving at night and coming at four o ' clock in the morning to finish it . —Mosscrop was remanded . -r * . wcABT-. E . ON-T- _ _i _, _Wednesdiv . — Mosscrop , the man aecused of having caused the extensive lira at Messrs . Hawthorne's _mamifftetovy , in this town , was discharged this morning , nothing having transpired to show more than gross neglect on bis part .
