      British Guiana , and that these comments had been officially published . ' With reference to Ceylon , Mr . Baillie read a correspondence between Earl Grey and himself , in which his lordship had de * clmed to send for certain witnesses , namedvby _ him ( Mr . Baillie ) , by direction of the committee , on the ground that the committee had no power to delegate _SUCh a power to its chairman ; the result of which refusal would be to protract the Inquiry beyond the p resent session . If the inquiry were full y and fairly carried out , he declared that acts of

      atrocity would be proved in comparison with which the deeds of _Tield-Marshal Haynau in Hungary would appear mild aud merciful . Mr . Baillie detailed certain acts of illegal severity on the part of Colonel Drought , Captain Watson , and others ; but he eould not _undertake to prove his case if the witness required were not produced . If there was to be any inquiry , it should be a fair one ; and the house should not support a Minister of the Crown in a bold and unblushing attempt to baffle and defeat it .

      Mr . _HiwEssaid _, Mr . Baillie had made unqualified charges against Governor Barclay , who , seems them reported in a newspaper , had taken the first opportunity of _vindicating himself The proceeding of Mr . Baillie with regard to Ceylon , he said , had been marked with his usual injustice and want of candour . There had heen no refusal of witnesses ; the witnesses named by the committee had been sent for and were now in this country , and he denied tliat the committee had given power to their chairman to name witnesses , the expense of bringing whom wou'd be from £ 100 to £ _T 00 each . Mr . H-iwes appealed to the house -whether Mr . Baillie ' s personal attacks _espetaaUy upon Captain Watson , one ofthe witnesses to be examined before the _committee , were most unjust . Mr . _llnsns said , as long as he could do his duty in that house , he would take care that the atrocious proceedings in Ceylon should be inquired into , in spite ofthe unparalleled unfairness of thegovenraient

      Mr . _Dissju-uaeeusedMr-IIawes of mystifying the house by the manner in which he had read the documents , and declared it would not be creditahle to the house to desert their _cor »< mttee . Considering that the conduct ot the _ goverumeu . jiad been ofa tendency to evade a . fair inquiry , Be proposed to amend the motion by adding the words , that 'in consenting to the re-appointment of the committee , the house deemed it expedient to express its disapprobation of the manner in which her Majesty ' s government had evaded the undertaking of last session for the further production of witnesses . ' Lard J . Bjdsseu . gave his exposition of the nature ot the undertaking given last _session , and contended thatthe committee had gone beyond its legitimate _powers if it meant to delegate to its chairman an absolute authority to command a Secretary of State to summon any witnesses he might choose to name without reasons assigned- Had proper

      explanations been given . Earl Grey wonld nave secured tbe attendance ol ( he witnesses . Lord John regretted that Mr . Baillie should have raised these paiaful discussions , which would tend to disturb the tranquillity of the colony , where inflammatory reports were already in circulation , so that the peace and happiness of an important possession of the British Crown were involved in this question . Sir J . Gbaham exonerated Lord J . Russell from the _chaige of having violated his promise ; his general impression , from the noble lord's _f-haracter , was confirmed by his recollection of what occurred . " But pracdcaUy _ the great question was , not a vote of censure moved without notice , but whatthe eads of justice reqaired . It was impossible that this inquiry could be stifled : it must be prosecuted without reserve , and without the least possible delay . The committee might meet to-morrow , and name the witnesses .

      Mr . Diskuxi acknowledged that the amendment was open to objection for want of notice , and offered to withdraw it ; but Lord J . Bussell refused his consent , and the house divided , when the amendment was negatived , and the motion carried by 140 to OS . Mr . Gome then moved a resolution that certain witnesses should be summoned to attend the committee , which Lord J . Bussell resisted , as a vote of censure upon the committee , and upon a division this motion was negatived by 109 to 100 . It heing now six o ' clock , the house adjourned . THURSDAY , Fkhruaby 7 .

      Austria aso _Husgaby . —Lord Domey Stuart moved an address for copies of correspondence and other documents connected with Russian , Turkish , Austrian , and Hungarian affairs . He wished for information as to tbe part which government had taken in _thequestionsreferredtoin _thosedocoraents . His lordship went at very great length into an examination of all the recent operations in Hungary , and having detailed many cases of atrocity on the part of the Imperialists , he defended the cause and conduct ofthe Hungarians , stigmatised . Russia as a

      -violator of treaties , and declared tbat this country was roused to the determination of protecting tho Ottoman Empire against the Czar of whose "traditional designs" he avowed himself rationally apprehensive . Lord Palmers-con declined to produce the papers , Lord Claude Hamilton , and Mr . Disraeli defended tiie conduct of the Austrian government . Mr . Moscktos Muses , Mr . Cockburs , and Mr . Grattam , supported the motion , after which it was withdrawn .

      Prohibited Marriages . —Mr . Stuart Wobiley moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend and alter the act of 5 and 6 William IV ., so far as relates to marriages within certain of the prohibited degrees of affinity , and stated that the bill was substantially the samft as that of List session .

      THE STORM OF TUESDAY AXD WEDNESDAY . A fcremendeusgale of wind , amounting at times to a perfect hflrricane , swept over the metropolis the greater portion of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning .

      THE NATAL DAY OF THE IMMORTAL

      THOMAS PAINE , Was celebrated at the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , _Tottenbam-cdurtrrbad , . on Sunday evening , February 3 rd , by a festival ; Nearly four hundred persons sat down to tea . After the tobies were cleared , and the outer doors opened , the rush for admission was terrific ; every nook and corner of the institution was crammed to excess , and many turned away , sadly disappointed , at not finding even standing room . The statue of Thomas Paine ( modelled by the notorious spy Edwards ) was placed on the platform , amidst an enthusiastic burst of applanse . - Mr . James Watson having been called to tne chair , the magnificent organ and Appollonic choir struck up the grand chorus of " Freemen

      reioice" which was hailed with much applanse . . The Chairman expressed his delight at witnessing the magnificent assemblage before him , met to _dis honour to one of England ' s greatest men ( Loud cheers . ) There was but one drawback to their pleasure , namely-the death of him who so ably presided last _vear-H enry _Ilethcrington . ( Much applause . ) Be had been a reader of the works of Paine for thirty years , having first commenced at Leeds in Yorkshire , when it was difficult to get fifty _together to express their opinions openly , and after the lapse of that period he saw no ground to change his opinions ; but , on tbe contrary , his opinions had been more and more confirmed . Let Parac ' _s political opinions be moulded into law , and then a social remedy would be found for our grievous wrongs—( hear , hear)—but the accomplishment of such an

      object was no child s play—as they had priestcraft , _moneycraft , and propertycraft fn their opponents . During thc past year , he ( Mr . Watson ) , bad gone to Thctford in Norfolk , tho birth-place of Thomas Paine , to ascertain whether any information could be obta ned relative to this extraordinary man . He met but one person , an aged quakeress , who said she knew Thomas Paine personally , he having been a visitor at her employers , who resided at Dunkirk , in France , during the first revolution , but she either knew nothing , or refused to give any information respecting Paine . The grammar school in which Paine was taught still remained . All hoped to see the principles of Paine in practice , and sure he was that a few years under them-would find tbe world wonderfully improved . r ( Loud cheers . ) . Chorus— " Now pray we for our . country . '

      Mr . Walter Cooper rose , loudly applauded , to give the first sentiment as follows * . "The people , may they not only know that union is strength and knowledge is power , but endeavour to produce the first and acquire the second . " The sentiment embodied two great principles of human progress , union and knowledge , these alone could save the world . With union the people were powerful . Without knowledge what are they ? This was an excellent commentary on a certain verse in a certain old book , — " get understanding . " With union and knowledge the people would certainly not remain slaves ; but slaves they would remain so long as tbey delegated their power of thinking to others ; never mind , although priests tell yeu , they are delegated by God , — think for yourselves .

      ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Cooper here entered into a statistical account of certain prisons and penitentiaries , showing that the large majority of criminal inmates had been either scholars or teachers at Sunday schools , and alluded to the want of knowledge amongst the people in bygone days , as illustrated in the burning of the philosophical apparatus , library , and house of Dr . Priestly , the cries of to hell r ' th tbe Pope , death to Thomas Paine , and live the king , the parliament , and constitution ; thus _mortgaging tbe bodies and souls of tbeir children , whilst Paine was enforcing the glorious truths of common sense in America . ( Hear , hear . ) But times were changing , and he hoped the people would g ive an extra impulse to that change by leaving those infernal dens—the gin shops—and

      crowd tbe free discussion balls . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The people must unite to assist the great principles of Reform . France was not perfect , and great anomalies existed in America , and a greater man than Paine must arise aud preach social equality . The great territory of America served the Americans at present , or they would speedily be as bad off as we are in England ; but fortunately America possessed political power , and when she possessed social knowledge , her peoplo could have what they pleased . ( Loud cheers . ) Lady Esther Stanhope , the niece of Pitt , had in her writings said : " My undo admits that Paine was right , " yet he prosecuted him . Knowledge was spreading . " Frazer s magazine had an article on " Labour and the Poor , " which startled every body

      who read it . Frazer said : " If thousands of starving tailors and needle women be English society , tis the work of the devil , and to hell with it as speedily as possible . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . A . Campell supported the sentiment . Chorus— " See our oars with feathered spray . " Mr . Thompson gave the second sentiment , as follows : — " Thomas Paine , the champion of civil and religious liberty , may the time speedily arrive when the truth aud justice of his principles will be universally acknowledged , and when the people of all nations will have the Common Sense to recognise and defend the Rights of Man . " He had much pleasure in giving tbat sentiment , because Paine had sent forth sentiments to stand on their own merits , without the aid " of persons or names . Paine

      was a thoroughly virtuous man . The ancients said the best test of virtue was self-sacrifice , and Paine had endured persecution and imprisonment , and nearly lost his life . He had always deemed it his duty to serve the people , and not a faction . Mrs . Matthews , in rising to support the sentiment , was greeted with loud applause . Paine had put forward prominently his political opinions , but he knew that little real good could be done whilst men s minds were clouded by superstition , and hence he issued the Age of Reason . " He had been hunted by priestly fiends and their satellites , and under such circumstances we must rejoice he

      maintained his integrity . ( Cheers . ! He would , indeed , have been of small service to the Americans to have possessed the sword of Washington , and lacked the common sense of Thomas Paine . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . J . W . Linton , who had just returned from Switzerland , and had travelled all night in order to be present , was greeted with . much applause . He said the Italian patriots were still determined to regain the liberties of their glorious Italy . ( Loud cheers . ) The men of the continent would _speeaily rise again for liberty . Struve and others were still imbued with ardour for the cause of Germany , and Kossuth and Dembinski were still on the borders of

      Hungary . He trusted that England would be ready for a commonwealth , and tbat her sons would reecho the Italian sentiment— " For God , our Country ; Humanity , Liberty , Equality . " ( Loud cheers . ) Chorus— " The Chartist Chaunt . " Mr . C-. J . Holyoake gave the third sentiment" The Press ! the great agent in the work of human progress ; may its future operations be governed by the principles of justice and impartiality , and its mission be to promote peace and brotherhood among all the nations of the earth . " Mr . Holyoake alluded to the exertions made by the late Carlile , Hetherington , Cleave , and their Chairman , and said they had made thought comparatively free , and

      the people have now the courage to discuss liberal sentiments . Paine had been called a destroyer of gods , but that was a mistake . Paine ' s was a reverential spirit ; he had put forth sentiments on tbat side of the question that would be looked for in vain elsewhere ; and he thought it one ofthe highest testimonials a man could have , when one who differed from him expressed so much . ( Applause . ) Mr . Holyoake alluded to the committee formed for the purpose of freeing the Press from its restrictions , and appealed for subscriptions to aid the cause . The strongest proof of the necessity of a Free Press was this : when nonsense was put forward , it found plenty of chroniclers , but when common sense , scarce any . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mri R . Hart said he must risk , or rather court some unpopularity , by declaring that he did not coincide with the principles enunciated by Thomas Paine . Then why was he here ? Because he believed tbat Thomas Paine was honest and sincere , and deserved the meed of approbation from every good man . ( Loud cheers . ) He had been for some years connected with the provincial press ; and on occasions like this he knew it was usual to laud the Press ; but those who did so invariably censured it when they got home . He believed the Press to be a wide-spread evil , and the greatest _carse they had . It represented the people as vicious—libelled them iu every possible manner and was itself most dishonest ; but this was the fault of the people . Let them mend themselves , and then the Press would

      become what it should he—a looking-glass , sending forth a true reflex . It was not by the sword , but by ideas , the change must be brought about . ( Cheers . ) - Mr . Staiiwood , in support of the sentiment , said he agreed in a great measure with his friend Hart as to the character ofthe press , but surely he ( Mr . Hart ) could not mean all : there were exceptions . A Voice : The Northern Star . ( Cheers . ) - Mr . Hart : Yes , all without exception . Mr . Stallwood ; Well them ho must differ with Mr . Hart . A friend had' mentioned ic . ¦ _D " > rthem Star . Now , " ¦ he was not so selfish as tn see only the Northern Stan In the past they had Carlile ' s Gauntlet ; surely no one

      would charge Richard Carlile with dishonesty neither would they their lamented friend Henry Hetherington in the conducting the Guardian , and other papers ; nor could he believe that George Petrie , the author of the beautiful poem Equality , dishonest , when he contributed-so largel y to the columns of One Man . ( Loud cheers . ) - Again ; there wastheir worthy Chairman ; who had sent forth to the world a little work called the Working Man ' s Friend . Ho hoped , if we _yiewed-our'Chairman _, through' his- consistency / we ' should-say his brochure advocated -truth and justice . So much for the past , and now for-the present . Would any one venture to say . that . _Tlitmds - Cooper ' s Journal was

      The Storm Of Tuesday Axd Wednesday. A Fc...

      dishonest ? And had they not aPoliticat Instructor beaming -with philanthrophy , truth , and justice ? ( Loud _cheers . ) And did not the teetotallers deem the Working Man ' s Friend honest : and surely the Saint of Freedom was hot to be deceived ; and some friend had most opportunely placed . in his hand the Democratic Review ; surely the editor of that journal could not be said to lack either boldness or honesty in proclaiming his sentiments to tho world , ( Great cheering . ) And now for the Northern Star ; but allow him to say first , he had not—like his friend Hart- _^ to ask himself why he was there , having attended Paine ' s celebrations for the last twenty years , and most thoroughly agreeing with Paine ' s political sentiments—although . lie

      differed with him in theology , not ' because Paine went too far , but , because . he did not go far enough . He could say , most sincerely , there was no part of his duty he attended with more pleasure , than these— "Paine celebrations . " ( Loud cheers . ) He thought it would not be denied for a moment , that the past and present editors and conductors ofthe Northern Star , always possessed courage and honesty sufficient to give vont to sentiments akin to those propounded by the man , whose memory they met tonight to honour . As a proof of thi 9 , he pointed to the leaders and reviews in that journal ; and , sure he was , that there were several on that platform , who would acknowledge tbat the review department was conducted honestly ,

      fearlessly , aud faithfully . ( Loud cheers . ) Lastly , there was Robert Owen , and others of tlieir social friends , connected with the press—and were these to be classed amongst the dishonest ? ( Cheers . ) He looked forward to the time , when there would be more weekly papers advocating the cause of the people , and a national daily paper , gathering up and enforcing the democratic and social views of the people . The principal reason for his rising was to ask Mr . Holyoake , if it would be prudent to propound some of the practical proceedings intended by the committee to which he had alluded , in order to induce more support , pecuniary and otherwise , to the good object they had in view ? Did the

      committee intend that petitions should be sent to . the House of Commons , or did they think of < again risking Coldbath-fields , Clerkenweli Bastile , or _Tothill-fields prison ? if they intended the latter , he had suffered in Coldbath-fields before , and ,-wa , _s ready for another breeze . ( Loud cheers ;) He agreed with the politics of Thomas- Paine , and hoped to see such an union of the people , as should cause them to be reduced to practice , and then he thought they might soon march on to a community of property . ( Loud cheers . ) : ' Mr . RicHAim Moore said , as one of tbe committee , he just wished to say , that the Press committee did intend to petition the house , and cause ! a motion for the removal of all restrictions from the Press

      to be submitted for its consideration . As to the second question , whether it could be fought by bringing out a paper unstamped , in defiance of Law , it bad been before tbe committee , but nothing decisive had been done on that matter , but for his pavt , under the present law , he thought it quite impossible . " The market Chorus" from Massiniello was given and encored—whenthe "Marsellais , " was judiciously substituted , amdist rapturous applause . Mr . Stallwood moved a vote of thanks to Mr . Watson for thc able manner in which he had presided , which wns seconded and carried _unanimously . Mr . Watson bowed his acknowledgement ; and thus terminated one of the most numerous assemblages ever met to do honour to that noble of nature , Thomas Paine .

      MANSION-HOUSE . —Rohbery . —MarkBenjamin was charged with having robbed S . Rathbone of a silver watch and a key . The prisoner was defended by a solicitor . The complainant went o . h Sunday into Petticoat-lane , for the purpose of making some purchase , and upon being asked what o ' clock it waa pulled out his watch , which was suspended by a guard round his neck , from his waistcoat pocket , and told the hour . Soon afterwards the prisoner and three other men closed round him , and shoved him along , and he felt the guard tight about his neck , so that he was sure somebody was nibbling at his watch . He suddenl y put down his hand , found that his watch was out of his pocket , and that only

      part of the guard remained , and he observed the prisoner in possession of the other part . —Other persons who were on the spot distinctly saw the prisoner pass the watch to another thief , who contrived to get away . The whole transaction having been performed by able artists occupied but a few moments , and all the gang got away with the exception ofthe prisoner , wbo was grabbed and held by the complainant until the police arrived . —The prisoner : 1 am as innocent as the baby that ' s just agoing to be born . —Sergeant Deady , of the City police , assured the Alderman that the prisoner was a regular trainer of children in the art of picking pockets —The prisoner ' s solicitor hoped the Alderman would not allow his client ' s case to be

      prejudiced by a statement of so injurious a nature _^ especially upon a preliminary proceeding against the accused . —Alderman Humphrey : I am obliged to Deady for giving any information he is possessed of upon such an occasion . It happens that at the trial . the officer would not be allowed to deviate in the slightest degree from the direct evidence applicable to the case ; but you have the opportunity of hearing at once what can be stated upon the subject of the prisoner ' s habits . —Sergeant Deady , sworn—I have known the prisoner these six years to be a very bad character , and to be frequently employed in teaching boysthe most approved method of picking pockets _, nis associates are of the same class , and they all live by thc system , which is much more

He struck her several times in the face , and then knocked her down . The constable separated them , and the prisoner again struck the woman a violent blow , which brought on a fit . The prisoner left the house , and while the constable was

      restoring the woman the prisoner came in and struck her another severe blow . The constable took him into custody , when the prisoner commenced a furious attack upon him , and struck him a blow upon the nose , whioh bled profusely . The prisoner followed up the attack by striking him . several times across the eyes and face , until his eyes were much swollen and blackened . The prisoner , after he had inflicted this violence , struggled with the constable , and succeeded in making his escape . He ran into Fleet-street , pursued by the constable , who succeeded in stopping hini . The prisoner again commenced a second attack upon . the constable , knocked his hat off , and struck him repeatedly in the _ neck and face .

Witness asked him whether he had _» receipt , when . he produced a bill ,

      dated November , the particulars of which he did not see . Witness told him that he believed he did not come honestly by them , when he replied that they did not _belong to him , but to a stout man at the bar . At that time Reynolds , the party alluded to , came into the parlour , when witness asked him from whom he purchased the hops . He replied , " That it wa 3 Sunday , and no day to transact business .

Witness then gave orders to force the frontdoor with asledge hammer ' After two or three blows the door flew open , and he aiid the constables went in .

The doors were of double iron , and were fitted with massive bolts and bars ; and had not tho

Police constable 389 , A , proved seeing the defendant Townsend open the door to gentlemen on several occasions within the last week . —Mr . Clarkson ( with Mr . Roberts ) appeared for the defendants , and addressed the magistrate at considerable length , contending thatthe charge wns altogether bad , inasmuch as the police has exceeded their authority . —Mr .

      any one present . —Mr . Clarkson contended that the defendant would not be justified in dealing with his customers as persons of bad character , upon the hearsay evidence of policemen . —Mr . Bingham asked Mr . Clarkson if . the point whioh he mainly rested on was that the keeper of a place of public resort could only know liis company to be prostitutes by their conduct . —Mr .

      o clock with some friends , and while going along the London-road one of his friends suggested a parting glass , and they , turned into a street in which there was a public-house to have something more to drink . Ono of his friends had occasion to stop at the end of the street , and he ( witness ) was proceeding along with the other when tbe prisoners Griggs and Pollard , and a third man , not in custody , came up , knocked hia friend down , and grasped him by the throat . They then flung him down on his back in the mud , and one of them held him by the throat , whilst the other two rifled his pockets of all the money he had got , which consisted of five half-crowns and some small silver . They also took a gold pin out of his stock , and

      effected their escape . The violence of the prisoners was so excessive that it was some minutes before he recovered . his senses , and he was still suffering from its effects . In repl y to the questions of the magistrate , the witness said that he knew the prisoners from having seen them on the niglit of ; the robbery in the tap-room of the Flying Horse publichouse , and he felt satisfied that both of them and their companion had followed them from that house . He had no doubt whatever of their identity , and felt satisfied that the prisoners Briggs and Pollard , were two ofthe three who had assaulted and robbed him . —Messrs . F . and W .

The prisoner , however , refused to go with him , upon which he ( Moss ) and Sergeant Quinnear were in the act of removing him from the house , when tho prisoner Lester , who is the son ofthe landlord ofthe house , interfered—declared he should not betaken—and called upon the persons in the tap-room to assist

      him in effecting his ( Pollard ' s ) release . Pollard then struck witness a'desperate blow on the eye ; and Lester , in endeavouring to grasp him by his stock , had torn a piece of skin from his throat . — Sergeant Quinnear , 1 P , corroborated tho testimony of Moss , and said that he had been so severely struck by Lester that he was still suffering from its effects . —The prisoners Griggs and Pollard denied the charge of robbery , and Lester said he was very sorry for ' what he had done . —The magistrate was informed that Lester bad been before in custody at this court on a similar charge , and attempting to rescue the prisoner Griggs when taken on a charge of robbing a man of his watch in his father ' s house . —Mr .

      The Fire In Lambeth. F Continued From Ou...

      THE FIRE IN LAMBETH . f Continued from our sixth page . ) Further Particulars . —The east side of Guildford-strcet , York-road , is almost wholly occupied by the extensive range of workshops and manufactory belonging to Messrs . Grissell and Peto , the eminent builders . On the opposite side of the street stands ( or rather stood ) the timber yard and _saw-mills . of Mr . Myers , a building contractor in a large way of business , aiid the India-rubber manufactory of Messrs . Nickell and Co , and it was in . the back part ofthe timber-yard of Mr . Myers that the fire is said to have broken out , it having been first discovered there by a policeman about half-past twelve o ' clock . In an incredibly short space of time the whole of the combustible materials

      congregated in tbe timber-yard presented one vast roaring mass of flame , spreading terror and devastation all around . The timber-yard abutted on the -back part ofthe premises of 7 , York-road , which , happening to be immediately contagious to the spot where the fire was began speedily caught fire , and in a very short time was _^ completely gutted . Thence tho conflagration proceeded down Yorkroad , in the direction of Guildford-street , consuming each house with terrific rapidity . Simultaneous with the destruction of the houses in York-road , the flames communicated with the India-rubber manufactory of Messrs . Nickell , consisting of an immense building of five stories high , which they speedily consumed . ; In one floor of this building alone there wore 500 maohines , and in another SQO , besides power and hand looms , whioh were all destroyed . The superintendent of the manufactory , who lived on the premises , escaped with hia wife

      and four children in their night clothes . Messrs . Nickel ! estimate their loss at about £ 15 , 000 , but they are partially insured . The whole oi tbe property of Mr . Myers was in like manner consumed , including four valuable horses , which the firemen were _. unable to rescue . He was partly insured . By the destruction of Messrs . Nickels' premises not less than 300 to 400 hands , principally females , will be thrown out of employment . The houses in the York-road , numbered from 7 to 12 , are very much damaged , the back fronts , roofs , he ., being destroyed . In six of the adjoining houses the stock and furniture have sustained considerable injury from water and removal . In the Belvidere-road five houses aro . very much burned . Only a few of tho occupants were insured .: The . total amount of property destroyed by this calamitous fire is estimated at upwards of - £ 50 , 000 _j . and the insurances effected on the loss are _staged to fall short of that sum by about-612 , 000 . . , ; ; :
