On the previous Tuesday morning , a bricklayer , who IumI been engaged the preceding day setting a stove in the kitchen , went to the cottage to remove Ids tools .

Medical aid was instantly sent for , but the husband , who was eighty years of ' age , died during the evening without being able to relate anything respecting this very mysterious affair .

Immediately upon Ms release he left the city , and his wife never saw him again . Having obtained a situation as assistant clerk to the magistrates at Stourbridge , he was accustomed to visit Worcester frequently , and thus became acquainted with Mias Moss , the third daughter of Mr .

At the examination on Thursday , Mr . Howlett , brother of the prisoner ' s first wife , proved the
marl'Liire with" Ms SteWr , and Mr . Moss , father of his second bride . He made no sort of defence , and , as stated above , was fully committed for trial at the ensuing March assizes .

Bercll , watchmaker and jeweller , at Slough , was broken into , and property , consisting of watches , brooches , and other articles of jewellery , of-the Talue of npwards of £ 200 , was Stolen and " carried away . The robbery , from the skilful and systematic- manner in which it was effected , was evidently perpetrated by experienced IiOndon thieves , of whom , however , no traces were discovered until very recently , when suspicion rested
upon a man named Benjamin Isaacs , the landlord w the Blue Anchor , a low public-house , in Petticoatlane , London . This man wa 3 apprehended upon a warrant granted by " the Eton magistrates , before whom he ' was charged with receiving the stolen property in question . The evidence not being complete against bun , lie was remanded till the 7 th of last month , but liberated upon bail , himself in £ 500 , and three sureties , conjointly , in a similar amount .

The careful guard immediately ran back , with his lamp , exhibiting a red li g ht , togwe warning of danger . Unhappily , entering the west end of the tunnel at Heworth , " near the Felling station , just as an engine was entering it from tho east , the smoke and steam prevented the light from being visible , and he was run down ; and when , shortly afterwards , his body was found , life was extinct .
Fatal Flood . —During the night of Saturday last some very heavy rain fell in various parts of West Yorkshire , by ¦ which the rivers were much swollen . Owing to the force of the current between Brotherton and Castleford , a little below the confluence of the rivers Aire and Calder , a vessel , laden with wool and a general cargo of drysalteries and groceries , named the Yorkshireman of Bradford , and belonging to Mr .

AWomax Hakozd bt hbr Husband . — -Wigas , Friday , Jaxcart 12 th . —On Friday Mr . Rogerson , the coronor , resumed , at the Royal Oak Inn , Standishgate , the adjourned inquiry respecting the death of Rebecca Kaye , who died from strangulation on the morning of New Yoar ' s Day . "When the inquest was commenced it was generally supposod that the deceased had committed suicide , but it the second adjourned inquiry a fresh string of evidence was produced . Several persons living- in the immediate vicinity spoke to hearing cries of " Help , " and " God save mo , " proceeding from the kitchen where the body was subsequently found . In consequence of this evidence the husband was taken into custody , and confined in prison . Ho was placed in a cell along with a man named Joseph Mousdell , who , last night , upon being sworn , said that he knew nothing of the husband until he waa placed in his cell , when he told him that he had pushed his wifo down stairs ,
and had aiterwards hanged her . Several -witnesses proved having heard screams proceeding from Kaye ' s house , and that they went to tho door and knocked , but no one answered them . —Mr . Latham , surgeon , proved that death had resulted from strangulation , and the inquiry , after lasting to nearly one o ' clock this morning , was adjourned for additional evidence . A verdict of " Wilful Murder" has been returned at Wigan , by the coroner ' s jury , against Bernard Kaye , accused of strangling h ' is wife . The Maneheatcr Examiner reports that the deceased , when Kayo married her , about eight months ago , was maintaining herself in a repcctable manner by letting apartments . Kaye was always considered a dissipated man , and at tho time of the marriage he left the party in the chapel , previous to the arrival oftha priest , and was absent for two or three hows . On his return he was intoxicated , but the ceremony was proceeded with .
Frightful Accident . —A coroner ' s inquest was held on Thursday week before F . Badger , Esq ., at tho Cricket Ball Inn , Burton Head , Sheffield , respecting the death of a boy , fourteen years old , named John Hague ( son of Thomas Hague , of "Walker-street , "Wicker , a fitter in the employ of Messrs . Walker , Eaton , and Co . ) , who on Wednesday afternoon lost his life by a frightful accident at the Cyclops "Works , at which establishment he was employed . The room in which the deceased worked is the enginehouse , in which the operations of spring rolling and steel cutting are carried on . The steel cutting machine is a very powerful piece of mechanism , capable of clipping in pieces lengths of steel five-eights of an inch thick and four inches in breadth . On the afternoon of Wednesday the deceased and Borne other bovs , taking advantage of the absence of the
foreman , gave way to a youthful love of frolic , and in the course of then-gambols repeatedly put out the gaslight of one of the workmen named Hawcroft . The man was informed that Hague , the deceased , was the offender . Hawcroft was employed at a punching machine , which stands opposite to the fatal cutting machine . While sitting on a low seat at the machine Hague walked up to him to clear himself from the accusation , and stood between the machines Hawcroft , believing Hague to be the delinquent , suddenly sprung up and made a dart at the boy , probably intending to chastise him . Hague , in tea haste to escape , stepped backwards , and ran with his heels against some long bars of steel that were lying on the floor in front of the cutting machine . He was tripped up , and fell backwards with his head against the cog-wheels , one of which was revolving at the rate of 120 revolutions in » minute . His
head and the upper part of his person were drawn in amongst tho cog-wheels , and ground through a space not more than three or four inches in width . His death must have been instantaneous , for he was not heard to utter the slightest sound . The body became so firmly wedged between tho wheels , that the whole machine was stopped , and the mangled limbs oould not be extricated till the machine was taken to pieces . When freed from the wheels , the body presented a spectacle that would have struck terror to the stoutest , heart . Several of the workmen were so shocked by the sight , as to be unablo to render any assistance . The evidence of John Hawcroft corroborated the above statement , and the jury immediately agreed to a verdict of " AecidentalDeath . "
Extraordixary Suicide . —At Xorthwich , a gentleman of tho name of Green , late in the employ of the Andertoii Carrying Company , and who had , it was supposed , nearly recovered from a mental afiection , put an end to his existence in an extraordinary manner . On Wednesday evening week he rose and waa about to dress for the purpose of attending a party . His wife having left the room for a short time , he started off , almost in a state of nudity , direct to a rock salt mine in the neighbourhood , and precip itated himself down the shaft . The men had just before descended the shaft , and had gone down about forty yards , when the unfortunate man fell upon them . One of them was severely hurt , and Mr Green was so severely injured fhat he died in a few hour ^

Mr , Dem's Tmai . —Another argument in this protracted case took place on Saturday . The judges again postponed their decision until Thursday . More Writs op Error . —Tho case of Gogarty and others , convicted during the war mania of illegal drilling and training to arms , promises to cut out more work for the lawyers . At the rising of tho Court of Queen ' s Bench on Saturday , the assignments of error on the part of Gogarty * were handed in , but not read . The principal objections relate to the alleged defects of the indictment against the prisoner , for jiot negativing the exceptions in the statute in reference to those tried for illesrallv 1 * 11 * O » drillinH . Decision of the Judges os the Writs of
Errok , is the case of W . S . O'Brien , F . Meagher , < fcc . —The Judges delivered their decision on Tuesday , the appearance of the city was perfectly quiet . Half-a-dozen mounted police rode outside on the Quay opposite the court , and a few constables were placed about the hall . The Court of Queen ' s Bench wa 3 closely filled , tho bar mustering very numerously to hear the Judges deliver their decisions seriatim . Whenever in any cause of importance Chief Justice Blackburn k to deliver judgment , the court is crowded by the profession , as ho has an admirable mode of traversing much rround in little time . The state prisoners , Messrs . W . S . O'Brien , T . F . Meagher , T . B . M'Manus , and Patrick O'Donohoo , Saving been conducted to the side bar , the Cliief Justice remarked that
in these several causes writs of error had been brought to convictions obtained at a Special Commission held in the county of Tipperary . He then proceeded to state the grounds upon which those writs of error had been raised , with respect to the caption and the appointment of the three judges , who presided at the commission , tho particulars of which have already so ofted appeared in our columns . He declared that the first objection raised a 3 to the caption , could not be sustained-, and atnrmed that he , a 3 a legal depository of that commission , was bound to say that the judges who presided there h * l been rightly and legally appointed to hear and determine , and . therefore , the first objection waa not valid . The second objection he decided to be wholl y insupportable , and he undertook to pronounce Ms judgment upon the I Plea of Mr O'Brien on the question of his right to haTe notice of trial serred . tea days Before

he was called upon to plead , and that copies of tho indictment should have been supplied him , with the list of witnesses for the crown endorsed thereon , within the 9 ame ten days , before he should be called upon to plead . The laws under which the prisoner in error had been tried were still in force in Ireland , and the acts of 25 th of Edward III ., and the acts of 7 th and 8 th of William III ., and ot Queen Anne , entitled prisoners accused of high treason to have copies of the indictment ten days before trial ; but these provisions did not apply to Ireland , and the Irish act ; , which bore upon the ' question , enacted that prisoners so charged were entitled to have copies of the indictment only fire days before they could be called upon to plead ;
and , therefore , on these and several other grounds he declared that the third objection had not been sustained . The last objection was that named on the allocutw , as to why the question had not been put to the prisoner why sentence of death and execution should not be pronounced upon him , which the learned judge also declared to be unsustainable . Judg e Crampton next delivered judgment , and proceeded to review the same grounds gone over by the Chief Justice , on each and all of ¦ which ho declarod himself of tho same opinion , and pronounced it as his opinion that the writ of error in all its bearings
should be disallowed . Judges Pernn and Moore followed , agreeing in opinion with the preceding judgos . The court were unanimous in overruling the errors assigned , and confirming the judgment of the court below . The government have long since announced their determination to commute the sentence of death prottouticed at Clonmel ; hut tta exact extent of the punishment to be inflicted will not transpire until the judgment at Clonmel shall have been finally confirmed . The prisoners intend to appeal to the House of Lords , if they can obtain the necessary certificate from the Attorney General .
Depreciation i . v Landed Property . — In the office of Master Litton , on Monday , a portion of the property of Count Magawley , situated in the King's County , was submitted for sale , under a decree of tho Court of Chancery ; and , after several vain at-, tompts on the part of the Master to induce a purchaser , the sale wa 3 adjourned , there not being a single bidder present . The property is situate in tho baronies of Ballyboy and Eglish , and is of a very eligible description , comprising valuable land mills ana household tenements , some of which lie in the town of Franckfort . The plaintiff in the cause is a Mr . Searle , who holds a mortgage on the property , to the amount of about £ 8 , 000 , the rental of which , at present , yields an income , it is stated , of about £ 750 . This was not a property in the destitute districts of the west or south , but in one of the midland counties .
Embarrassbd Landlords . — -The Freeman says : — " From every side we hear the crash of falling families and fortunes . Members of the old patrician houses , some of the most ancient and most aristocratic in the land are outcasts and beggars . One southern commoner has fled in disguise from . hi 3 ancient castle , alone and unattended , without host or retainer , to avoid the inconvenience of the Gazette . He was supposed to be the wealthiest and safest proprietor of the south . He turns out to be penniless , and his incumbranccs hard upon a quarter of a million ! Another instance of a reverse of
forture -was lately brought to our notice . A gentleman , with a nominal rent-roll of « £ 10 , 000 p er nnnum , who lately filled the oflice of high-sheriff in a most important county , and represented one of the most honoured Protestant families in Ireland— a family , too , to which tho Catholic proprietors of Minister owo no small debt of gratitude—this gentleman , we have heard , is nor waiting at the office of the poor-law commissionora , looking for rv vice-guardianship i " RETRiBunrp Justice . —The dee » y of the landlords continues . Within the last few days the lord lieutenant of a county in Minister had thirteen executions against him . ¦
Meeting of tux Irish Members . —Mr . Henry Grattan , has called this meeting for Tuesday the 23 rd , the Lord Mayor has granted the use of the Mansion House for the purpose . . Tue Mock . Roy . alts . — Amongst the questions which will be brought before the House of Commons in the ensuing session will be the propriety of « iboliahing the vice-royalty . An English member for an important constituency , connected by property and marriage with Ireland ( Mr . R . Osborne , we presume ) , intends , he says more suo , " to make a dash at it . "
Romaic Catholic Exdotvmext . — -It seems not to be very certain whether Mr . Keogh , the member for Athlone , will persevere in bringing forward the endowment of the Cathelic clergy . That subject is as little popular here with any great party as in England . The landowners are not it favour of it , and the popular organs cry out against it . Tut . Pooh Law . — Poor-law reform , in all its branches , is still the cliief topic of discussion in this country . It would be amusing ( were not the matter too serious for sport ) to contrast the opposite views and contradictory ideas of the professed reformers of the poor-law . There would , probably , be a greater outcry amongst the gentry , only for the number amongst them who are looking for places
under the system . . A provincial journal recently stated that on the list of candidates for the office of rice-guardians , there were the names of a thousand magistrates . Certainly tho crumbling of the old structure of society in this country is a most extraordinary moral speptacle . Upon the results of this social revolution it is almost presumptuous to speculate . The Tipperary Board of Guardians were dismissed last week by a scaled order of the poor-law commissioners , for refusing to strike a rate including the re-payment of the Treasury advances . The average annual rate for the last three years of the famine was less than 2 s . in the pound . It is said the vice-guardians will now lay on a rate ofos . in the pound .
The Pat Boy . —Mr . John O'Connell has , if possible , plunged deeper into the mire . He has now written a most abject apology to the " state prisoners" for the terms of contumely which he applied to them hi a recent lengthy letter . He might safely p lead in mitigation , that very few people read his etters , or remember them when read .

DISASTROUS STORMS AND SHIPWRECKS . Abeudeex , Jan . 11 . —The coast of Scotland has this week been visited by a most disastrous storm . On Monday there was a change ; the morning was mild , the barometer fell _ about an inch , and the wind eastward . As the tide rose a heavy sea came rolling in , and by mid-day , it was not safe for vessels to be on the coast . About tide time the Union , of Stonehaven , a schooner from Newcastle , with coals , in taking the harbour missed the channel , struck on the breakwater outside the pier , and in a quarter of an hour was in pieces . The crew were saved by means of life-buoys throvm from the shore . A . poor little boy was observed clinging to a spar , then to disappear , and twenty minutes afterwards , when he was given up for lost , he was washed up on the pier , and his life saved . About the same time the fine schooner Mansfield , of and for Aberdeen , got embayed to the southward , and having carried away her foremast , drove ashore at John ' s Haven , near Montrose . The crew were with great difficulty saved , the vessel has since become a wreck . On Tuesday the wind moderated . As night came down the wind settled in the south-east , ana yesterday morning it blew a gale with a tremendous sea . A good number of vessels were seen in the offing labouring hard . In the afternoon the Isabella , of Dundee , from Riga , for Ireland , with liuseed , had to run ashore on the sands . The vessel took the ground Wfill , and , an efficient crew Laving manned the life-boat , tho whole of the ship ' s crew were
rescued from the wreck . About seven o ' clock the Elizabeth , of Aberdeen , also came ashore , but owing to the darkness of the night , and the sea making a clean breach over her , the life-boat could render but small assistance , and the captain , the mate , and a boy were drowned ; the other men were saved . Early this morning a third vessel , the Dahlia , of Newcastle , coal laden , came ashore on the sands ; the tide being up the vessel was well beached , and the crew got safely to land as the tide receded . To the southward of the Girdlcness a vessel is said to have foundered on the outer rocks of the Bay of Nigg . From tho north tho accounts are of the most distressing character . Several vessels have been wrecked in Peterhead Bay . At Bodhamnear the
, Buchannes 3 Lighthouse , about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning , two schooners and a bri" were seen standing to the northward , the sea running mountains high . It soon became evident that the brig would not clear tho Buchanness . When about three quarters of a mile from the Ness , and about a furlong from the shore , she wont down with all hands . The msel appeared to be about 140 tons with white paint streak and figurehead . Three or four men were seen in the boat on deck , and one or two on the ship ' s quarter . Fragments of the boat came on shore shortly after the vessel foundered . It was an old boat , fir plank outside , and painted black , inside a brown-red , gunwales light blue or lead grey ; the stern had no ship ' s name on it . A large vane came ashore at the same time . It was
of red woollen stuff , with " C" in white cotton wove into it . About two o ' clock the two schooners got into Peterhead Bay , and were driven on shorethe . one is the Catherine , of Aberdeen ; the other , the Hero , of Frascrburgh . One man was drowned from the Hero . A brig , with seven men , is lost at the Scores of Crudcn . The damage done alonir this coast is great . Tho bridge of communication between the Buchanness Light-house and the shore is carried away . The barometer , put tip here by Lord Aberdeen , is at 28 . 55 , and appearing to rise . At Peterhead'ten men , who were on the quay in readiness to assist any vessel that mi ght attempt the harbour , were swept into tho basin by a ^ avy sea and three of them drowned .

Storm in Moiwcambb Bat . —Last a most severe storm and a higher tide than has boon know for many years . On Wednesday the gale roso to a perfect hurricane , and the high tido occasioned serious damage to the works of the Furness Railway , near Barrow , and also to the embankment between Hoc Isle and tho main land .

Intelligence has roached Southampton that tho whole of these extensive works , together with a number of vessels that wore near , them , were entirely destroyed during a hurricane which raged in the Channol during Wednesd ay , Thursday , and Friday week last .
Letters from Messina of the 2 nd mst . state that on tho night of tho 26 th and 27 th ult . the wind blew a perfect hurricane from N . N . E ., which wrecked some twenty English , Danish , American , and Sicilian vessels . There has been a violent storm at Malta . Tho total damage on shore and on board will bo at least £ 20 , 000 . Shipwreck at Cardigan Bar , axd Loss of Tb . y Lives . —On Thursday , the 11 th inst ., it blew a violent gale from the north-west . About three , p . m ., a large brig was seen to run into the breakers . The vessel was ascertained to bo the Agnes Lee , of North Shields , John Clarence , master , bound from Alexandria , with wheat . She loft tho Cove of Cork on
Tuesday morning hist . The sea beating very high , no boat could go out to render any assistance , although several attempts were made . There is no life-boat at Cardigan . The crew launched the jollybont , which was filled with eleven of tho crew , and captain , wife , and child , one of the crew taking to the rigging . The boat swamped after leaving the vessel . The fishermen , boatmen , and others on the shore , under tho direction of Mr . George Bowen , master mariner , joined hands , and went into the water at the risk ot their lives , and saved four of the individuals . When brought on 3 hore , they were quite insensible . The bodies of two of the crew and the infant child were Trashed ashore , one of the parties saved being tho mate , a native of Cork , named John Fortune . The night of Thursday being very dark and boisterous , no boat could
go out . On Friday morning they put off , and found the man in the rigging , in a very exhausted State . Tho body of the captain ' s wife and one of the crew were washed on shore on Friday , one body on Saturday , and three on Sunday , leaving only the body of the captain to come ashore . If a lifeboat had been there , tho whole of the crow would have been saved . One was promised aftor the disasters of 1843 , and every year since vre have had accidents upon the Bar , and nothing is ever done to obtain so desirable ¦ . an object as a lifeboat . It is now promised again , on the eve of an election , but when that is over we shall have the same complaint . On Sunday five of tho bodies were interred at St . Dogmcll ' s church-yard . The vessel still lies beating where sho struck ; the cargo is floating up each tido .

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . In Lixcoln ' s-inn . —On Sunday morning , about half-past four o'clock , a fire broke ' out in JTewsquarc , Lincoln's-inn . The police-constable on duty was passing down Bishop ' s-court , and saw a strong light in the basement floor of one of the houses . lie alarmed the porters of the inn , and with them proceeded to make an investigation . They soon discovered that a fire had broken out on the basement floor of No . 2 , New-square , the chambers being occupied by Messrs . Harrington and Kebble . The latter gentleman , it appears , was the only person who sleet on tho premises , but he can give no account ot the origin of the fire . As soon as it was discovered , Mr . Kebble was aroused , but the flames bavins encircled the greater portion of his chamber .
he was unablo to make his escape , and remained in his roonis fully twenty minutes , while messengers were dispatched for tho fire-escape . As this did not arrive , Mr . Kebble leaped from his bedroom window into tho garden , and _ at length effected his escape without any very serious danger . When the porters were informed of tho fire- they called out the emrinea belonging to the Inn , but , from being in a baa condition , they were comparatively useless , and much confusion and delay were the consequence . It is stated also that every disposition was manifested to kcej ) the knowledge of the fire from the brigade or other parties outside tho walls , and oven on tho arrival of tho brigade engines at the gates admission was for a time refused . Owing to the quantity of
timber and the walls being encased in oak the fire spread with great rapidity . Many papers and books were saved by means of exertion of the firemen , but these form avery small portion of those which wore on the premises . The want of water thwarted in a great degree the exortions which were made to save the buildings . When the engines were got into play , several of the brigade men very narrowly escaped ¦ with their lives . They bravely attempted to carry the hose into the centre of tho buildings , and had nearly accomplished their purpose , when the stone staircase fell with a frightful crash , burying everything in the way under its . ruins . This event cut off all communication with the chambers above ; the flames raged uncontrolled throughout the building , and the greatest fears wero entertained that the whole
range of buildings would be consumed . By Mr . Braidwood's directions , engines from the whole of the metropolitan stations were sent , and , on thoir arrival , the most complete measures were adopted for arresting the progress of the fire . It was not ntotil eight o ' clock that apprehension was allayed . Between nine and ten o clock fearwas ' again excited , several stacks of chimneys , and a portion of the front wall , having fallen , leaving only one , botween fifty and sixly Teet in height , resting upon a very slender basis . That fell in shortly before two o'elock ' . The destruction of property is variously estimated at from £ 15 , 000 to £ 20 , 0 < J 0 : Most of it was insured in the principal London fire offices . The premises were built in 16 C ( J , immediately after the great fire of London .
ADDITIONAL PAMIOmiRS . Not fewer than nine fire-proof boxes have been taken out of the basement ofthe destroyed building , whore they had fallen from the , first-floor , and upon opening them on Monday morning , the deeds and other documents wero found uninjured . This is exceedingly fortunate , as the papers had roferenco to property of considerable value . The account books belonging to Messrs . Jones , Batcmau , and Bennett , with several drawers filled with important writings , have been taken out . of the premises but triflingly iniured ^ but a groat number of tin boxes , containing legal parchments , &c , havo been entirely destroyed . The present unfortunate circumstance will cause the question to be again agitated to obtain a general registry of all deeds and mortgaged
property , as is the case in Scotland , in Ireland , and most parts of the Continent . The oldest firemen can scarcely remember a fire . of similar magnitude burning for so long a period . Although the engines were kept at work during the vrhole of Sunday night and Monday , there remained at seven o ' clock on Monday evening a considerable body of fire on tho basement , and also in tho walls ofthe building . Mr . Kebble , a barrister , had a narrow escape from being burned to death . lie slept on the ground floor , at the back of the premises , and before any alarm was given in the front , ho was awoke by hearing a slight noise , like the dripping of water , in the next room . He immediately jumped out of bed , and on
opening tue door found the passage full of smoke , and of such a suffocating nature that he could not pass through . He therefore ran to another door , and found that the fire was breaking into tho passage , so that hia escape in that direction waa likewise cut off . Ho then made for one of tho windows , but even his escape was in that direction cut off , for had he jumped down a distance only a few feet , he would have had to climb up a wall twelve ° i ' ? urte ^ hi ? - Nofc knowing what to do for the best Mr . kebblo sat upon the window sill , where he remained calling "Fire" and "Help" for upwards of a quarter of an hour , during which time tho flames broke through the door of hia room , and

nothing but destruction looked him in the face . At length , however , alamplightor ' s ladder waa brought , and by its aid he managed to effect a retreat , llis opinion is , that tho fire must have occurred in the area floor . At half-past nine o ' clock on Monday evening the firemen were still engaged pouring water upon the ruins ; and so dangerous were the walls that they woro expected momentarily to fall . The houses on cither side have sustained loss damage than was at first expected . During Monday forenoon , whilst the firemen were employed upon this fire , an alarm vrag given that another had broken out in Chancery-lane . One of the engines was immediately taken there , when it was ascertained that somo of tho burning flakes had been wafted bv the I r-L-. _ _ - . » .

With tho aid , however , of plenty of water , the fire was extinguished , but not before considerable damage iraa done by fire and wnter . Is SPKA . Lrai . us .- —On Saturday morning , ahoytly before four o ' clock , a fire broke out in the cabinet manufactory belonging to Messrs . M . and J . Mahony , in Brown ! a-lano , fipitalfiolds . The flames , when first discovered , were raging in the factory , a building nearly 150 feet long , immediately at the
rear of the dwelling-houso , which contained proporty of considerable value . Owing to the highly inflammable character ofthe stock , but few minutes elapsed ere the greater portion of the factory was enveloped in flames . "When the engines ai-rived , not only' tne manufacturing premises of Messrs . Mahony were completely wrapped in flames , but Jireh Chapel , with the private house of Messrs . Mahony and the back workshops of Mr . L . B . Ogers , were also blazing away with great fury . The various engines were as apoedily as possible set to work , when tho firemen conveyed the nose of their enginos around the adjoining houses , and succeeded in
cutting off the further progress of the flames in the direction of the chapel , but not until they had burned some ofthe gallery windows out , and tho building was materially damaged . Having succeeded in stopping ' 'the ' fire in this quartor , the next object was to extinguish the main body of flame * , and that was a work of no little difficulty , for , besides the premises being on fire , the destructive element had oxtended to tho piles of timber in tho opemyard . It was nearly eight o ' clock before the firo was wholly extinguished , and not until the factory of Mesara . Mnhony . -sras burned down , tbe chapel extensively damaged by fire and water , and the " workshops of Mr . Qgerg much burned . Fortunately the sufferers were insured in the West of England Fire Office-. The cause of the outbreak could not be ¦
learned . Isr Broadway , Dbftford , another fire occurred nearly at the same time . It commenced in the large rango of premises belonging to Mr . Watts , a linondrajer and ailk mercer , carrying on business at No . 19 , in the Broadway . The building was ef considerable- magnitude , and , owing to the easily ignitible character of the goods , the housre / in the course of a few minutes , was in a blaze from the base to the roof , so that the various inmates had the greatest difficulty in effecting a retreat . When the engines arrived , they found the entire range of Mr . Watts ' a premises in a broad sh&et of flame , and tho adjoinin ? property of Mr . G . Couzens , No . 18 , and Mr . J . W . llasley , grocer , were also on fire . Nearly three
Hours elapsed before tho lire could be extinguished and n 6 t until the whole of Mr . Watts ' s premises wero levelled with the ground , his stock-in-trade , furniture , and other effects reduced to ashes , besides which , tho upper part of Mr . Couzens' premisos was destroyed , tho front and roof of Mr . Hasley ' s house extensively damaged b y fire and water , and the stock-in-trade materially injured . At Hampsiead Watbr Works . — On Saturday night . a fire broke out on the newly-erected premises termed the Hampstead Water Works , which was attended with a destruction of property valued at several thousand pounds . The > premises in which the firo began were of rast extent , being about eighty feet square , of considerable altitude , and fitted" up
with most costly machinery , the weight of which is estimated at 30 tons . Hoir the calamity occurred is enveloped in mystery . Gloucestershire . — Iwcbndubism . —At an early lour on Sunday morning it was discovered that two barley mows and one wnoat mow , belonging to Mr . Piimphlin , of- Queen ' s Charlton , about five miles from Bris tol , were on fire . In a short time the Keynsham fire-engine was on the spot , and was immediately ollowed by several engines from Bristol . The conflagration by this time had reached a great height , and it was with the utmost difficulty that the firemen succeeded in preventing the extension of the flames to the homestead . About thirty sacks of wheat and eighty sacks of barley were totally consumed .
Destructive Fikb nearOugiitbbidce . —On Thursday week , about nine o ' clock , intelligence was received at both fire-offices at Sheffield , that a fire was raging in tho farm promises of Mr . John Redfeam , at the Gate , near Oughtbridge . On the arrival of the engines the roof of the barn had fallen in . The barn was a large , long building , and it contained about twenty tons of fodder , besides a quantity of oats and seeds , and some farming implements . Fortunately the work of destruction was limited to the barn , the roof of which was quite destroyed , and likewise a largeportion of the contents . The fire is supposed to hare originated in the act of an incendiary .

- ^^^ TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND . Letteb XI . Fbllow Couxtbtmex—The industrial operations of the whole world are , indeed , too vast and numerous for observation . I will , therefore , on resuming the consideration ofthe results of " Free selling , as well as free buying , or Fr « e Trade fully and fairly carried out , " select one branch of our manufacture for remark . I think there are circumstances connected with thonianufaoture of merinos that call for particular notice ; it is , moreover , a branch of national industry with which Mr . William Hand must be well acquainted . It is very remarkable that , while the measures of government hajo tended very much to depress that > ranch of British manufacture , it has received the honour of her Majesty ' s patronage . Before the tariff of 184 o , great improvement was
made in the English merinos . Those improvements were suddenly checked by that tariff . The low price of wool , the great want of work , and the svmpathv of the Queen , who , early in this year , ordered the ladies attending her Majesty's drawing rooms to appear in articles of British manufacture , encouraged the revival of the attempts to improre the manufacture-, which have resulted in producing merinos of finer quality than those of France . ° ¦ Mr . William Walker , of Bradford , Yorkshire , has produced the most superb article , which has entirely removed prejudice from buyers , and even foreign buyers admit its decided superiority . The price ° ia higher than that of the finest foreign merinos . Her Majesty has been plcaeed to patronise that manufacture , and is supplied therewith by Messrs . ltichard Brook and Co . of Uradforrt
Merinos wore originally manufactured in Saxony They are now made in England ( principally in Yorkshire ) , Scotland , France , and Saxony . They are produced from German , French , English , and Australian wool . The principal consumption of merinos is m England and her dependencies . Europe and America are also consumors . Before the Free-trade tariff of 1846 , an import dut , r of 1 . 5 to 30 per cent , was charged here on foreign mormos . France prohibited the introduction of English merinos , and granted a bounty of 10 per cent , on the export of French merinos to England Germany and America charged a duty of about 30 per cent , on all merinos imported .
Under those regulations , the manufacture of merinos m Yorkshire and other parts of Great Britain increased and was generally remunerating The French , having the " fashion" in their favour JS ££ F 7 Y > bufc only on the fiues * ¦ A . nearly ae cap be computed , the number of men women and children then employed in the manufao ture of merinos in Yorkshire and other ¦ ffi ^ SS " Kw ^ T - ; f' T and sSony ^ boui 2 , 'J 1 ? camtal employed in that branch in Great Bntain was supposed to be about £ 5 , 000 ? 00 o " ^ . ^ f / and France , about £ 3 , 000 , 000 .

The English government have thus given a great impotus to the Frcneh trade in merinos , as well as a , favourable position to tho Saxons ; and now , not only the fine , ' but the middle and low qualities of French and Saxon manufacture inundate our markets , flow into every town of importance , awl are to be found , instead of English merinos , in _ almost evory British draper ' s shop ! At the same time the English manufacture has encountered a withering blast from its own government ; many thousands ot the people ( forming a part of those masses of unen > ployed operatives alluded to by Mr William Rand ) , hitherto engaged in tho manufacture of merinoa beino- now sustained out of the poora rates , and many hundreds of thousands of pounds invested m mills , warehouses , cottages , and otherwise , in t&e manufacture of merinos , having been destroyed Dy act of our own government . in ,, x <«_ i : ^\ . ~« , r , « . Tvmi > Tit . Yuwfi tViua sriven a great
an . Tiie manufacture of merinos in Britain , where continued , is now almost profitless , not because ours is an inferior article , but because our wages are higher than those of our rivals , and our government is resolved to maintain an unequal competition . ,, It would , I think , be very difficult to find anothelf people that would designate such proceedings " common sense . " The English market is now inundated with Frenoa merinos of all qualities . They arc so much " cheaper" than our own that they ( the French ) sell readily every piece they send , whilst our own manufacturers are left just to supply the residue , lowered in price by these imports nearly to their prices . Our skill , labour , and capital are thus rendered
valueless by the act of our own government , who » when complaint is made , taunt their victims with a sarcastic jeer , saying , " Surely you can manufacture as cheaply as your rivals ?" Is it asked—What have these facts to do with our present question , we having now to supose that all duties and bounties are removed , that there ia " a clear stage and no favour ?" I allude to those circumstances because they formed the subject of conversation a few weeks ago , with a kind friend , -who was in 184 G extensively connected with the manufacture of merinos . He was justly complaining of tho robbery of himself and liis workpeople by tho English government allowing the free importation of French merinos , when the French government prohibited the introduction of English merinos , and granted a bounty of 15 per cent , on the exportation of their own .
" I ask for no protection , ' said my friend , " only g ive me a clear stage , even-handed reciprocity , and I should , as an English manufacturer , be ashamed of myself if I could not meet my foreign rivals in any market . But it is too bad to be forced by our own government into such unequal competition with the French in our own market , when we are prohibited , ore any terms , from entering the French market !"—¦ " My friend , " I replied , "the question is iiot whether ' you would bo ashamed' or no ; but the solemn question you have to ask yourself is , could I afford , in e ^ ual competition with the French or Other rivals , whose wages are so very much lowee than those I havo given—could I afford to gije my workpeople such wages as would fairly remunerate them for their skill and labour , remembering that no manufacture can be nationally advantageous that does not allow a sufficiency for those employed therein ?"
That observation gave a new current to my friend's thoughts . It is in that direction , fellowcountrymen , I wish your thoughts to flow ; now , while leaving things as they are , I would turn your attention to the period when duties and bounties will be no more . A vulgar error has been planted in the national mind , viz ., an idea that our manufacturers need no protection—that tho landlords and farmers were unreaaonable in requiring what was said to bo an exclusive protection . I would eradicate that untrue supposition by showing that our manufacturers cannot be nationally beneficial if they are not protected ; in fact , that every nation must , to secure prosperity , protect its industry . Under the system of absolute freedom , there are only two modes of procedure for tho choice of the manufacturers of merinos . They must either at
once yield the palm to the " cheapest" producers , or , acting in the spirit of rivalry , drive the competition to its utmost limit , until those manufacturers who can exist on the lowest possible wages and profits should destroy the property and the value of the labour of their vanquished rivals , and thus gain tho prize . I will endeavour , without exaggeration , to show the effects that would be produced in either case . Should the first sacrifice be preferred , the British manufacturers would immediately prepare for a retreat . They would adopt the most prudent measures for releasing their capital from an unprofitable employment , and , as soon as possible , engage it in some gainful occupation . The 80 , 000 persons forming tho body engaged in our manufacture of merinos would strive to find another craft , wherein profit , or better wages , would be their reward .
Ot course , great loss and destruction of property would bo consequent on these changes . Without doubt , terrible sacrifices would be made by those 30 , 000 unhappy individuals . According to the doctrine of the Economists , those evils are more than counterbalanced by the gain resulting . Cheap merinos would be the universal reward ; and the maxim , "The few must lose for the gain ofthe many , " being admitted among the lessons taught by " common sense , " those "few" must not repine ! How different are those lessons taught by tho unerring Spirit of Truth : — " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour , " and , "As you would that others should do unto you , do ye even so to them . " On that principle , " tho many " ( the consumers of merinos ) would prefer to pay rather more money for their dresses than drive "the few" ( the 80 , 000 of " thoir neighbours" ) into so much suffering .
But mark the retributive hand of justice ! It is not clear gain to "the many . " In the transit , those 80 , 000 persons would become very burdensome , " eating up" the ratepayers , " crowdingthe gaols , increasing the army of tho discontented , and requiring troops and police to watch their movements and check their crimes . Those costs are never calculated by the " philosophers ; " they do , notwithstanding , form a very heavy drawback from the profit made by " the many" at tho expense of " the few . "
When thoso losses have been incurred , and the season of trial and of suffering is ended , the remnant of those people and of that capital will have found employment in some other branch of industrv which may , in its turn , be required to yield to tlie " cheapness" of a foreign rival ! I need ' trace their wanderings no farther . It is enough—merinos are now " cheap" all over the world . r \ ? , T a } Mr < w - Rand - naYe I exaggerated ? I think I have fairly stated tho case should the first alternative be adopted .
I do not , however , imagine that the owneiN nf £ 5 , 000 , 000 , ' of British capital , and that W ™ 00 ft British operatives will quietly surrender to ' the ownpra of £ 3 , 000 , 000 of forei gn capital , and 50 000 foreign operatives . I think tne second mode of action will be adopted—that the god " Cheapness " f " ^ , ^ rios * ° cn S S in the strife of competition for the mastery—and that years of struggles , of losses , and depressions will he eonseaction . ° Pti ° the freo P ™< apIoTof
