      MIDDLE CLASS LEGISLATION . Ovx readers will of course have perceived that one of the first acts of the present Session has been the granting of leave to Lord Joe . \ Rcssell to bring in » Bill for continuing and extending the powers of the Poor Law Commissioners . Upon this iniquity , we have much to say , for which we have neither time Bor sp » ce at present ; but we cannov allow the debate to pass without presenting to our readers the henest declaration by Brown Bread Josfph—the fatfeerihai-is-io-oe of the newly begotten but yet unformed Suffrage bastard , of his attachment to , and determination to abide by , the fell principle and infernal operation of these devil laws . Here is the precious morsel : —

      «• Mr . Hr « could not aUow the honourable baronet to » J ti » t tne ' hole bill was erroneous in principle , and ought to be abolished , without expressing his dissent from roth a sentiment . He bad seen much of the -rorkiB ? of the law , though , perhaps , not » o much as kUhonourable friend near him ( Mr . Wakley . ) He was aware that hardship bad resulted from the working of the present system ; but it had been introduced to remedy fu greater evil * . Ho one could recollect the endence that had been brought before the house ¦ without being convinced of the necesiity of a reform ot the old lynem . He prote « ted against the assertion of the honourable baronet , that the bill had indiscriminately punished all kinds of poverty . The intention of the bill •*** to disingtiifih between poverty that was unundeserved , and that which arose from -rice . "

      Let the Chartists read teat , and then , if they like it , trust Brown Bread Joseph to guide them safely into his political puddlehole , so cunningly called a h-o-u-fe-e !

      Ms . D eegjls a > T 3 thb Nobthkbs Stab . —We have received a letter , dated " Bishopwearmouth , Sunday evening , January \ 1840 , " of vrhich the following u a copy : — " Sib , —1 neTer wrote to yon before , and I dent think yon » 21 thank me for this ; iowerer , I will pay the post , and then you will only need te scan it over , and then if it is no better worth , you san toss it * -mnngnt rubbish , or light your pipe with it . - Sir , 1 have been in the habit of purchasing the Xort&em Star from one of your agents , far the last three years , and therefore it is that I feel grieved that Mr . Deegan , the Durham missionary , should hare thought it his dnty to attack , and hold up to public reprobation , the Star , and its editor , Mr . HilL The following took place this evening , in the Co ^

      operatfre BalL Mr . Deegao said , that the editor of the Xortheni Star had d « ne Mr . Lowery , of Xerweastle , and himself , great injustice , in placing their names nearly at the bottom of the list of those who vere appointed to speak on Holbeek Moor . But , Sir , that is not your enly crime ; yon strove hard and long to persuade the Chartist delegates that they had nothing to do with the fox and Gooae meeting , at Marshall ' s will . Yob did not gro-s full report of Mr Deeg&n ' s speech at the meeting f tee 6 « ese . And Mr . Deegan farther states , that you have alleged in the Star , that the conductors of the Timet promised you a report of the meeting , which he sayt they never did . How , Sir , I think Mr . Deegan mart eiLher stat « th * whira is not correct , or you publish that which is not true .

      This is the second time that Mr . Deegan has attacked and held up to scorn and ridicule , the Northern Star and its editor , Mr . HilL la conclusion , I hare had no qnarrtl -with Mr . Deegan ; and of the editor of the Star , I know nothing ; but of this I am sure , that whatever reasons Mr . Deegan may hare for his conduct towards the the people ' s paper , he will not rise much in iny esteem by it ; yet I think it may on the whole be usurious to the circulation of the Star . " We thank the writer , ( who gives his name and adireuyj very cordially , for this piece of information . It is both well and necessary for us and the people to understand each other . It would have been , in our opinion , more honest and

      Chartist-like for Mr . Deegan to have made any statement of complaint to U 3 , tchile he was at Leeds , than to hare done it in the way staled by the tenter ; nwe especially as he promised to vhit the Star Office , on other business , but failed to do so , though he was waited for by our book-keeper till eleven o ' clock at night . 11 seems , hoicever , thai Mr . Deegan s notions of honesty and propriety in such things differ from ours ; and hence tee must be content to reply to his allegations as ire happen to hear of them . Thit ire shall do , seriatim . First , then , for the ** injustice ' of placing his name and that of Mr . Lowery ' nearly at the bottom of the list of speakers for the Hoi beck Moor meeting . " It mi

      ght be quite sufficient , even if the Editor of the Northern Star had perpetrated this liberty ; to plead that somebody mast occupy that post , and that it was scarcely to Li expected thai Chartist delegates , contending for equality , would U the very first to fight arid snarl fur pre-eminence on the aristocratic principle , but the arrangement of speakers for the Holbeck Moot meting happened to be made by a committee appointed for the pu-pose , and not by the Editor of the Nonbera Siar . We insisted that the delegates had nothing to do with the Mill Meeting . " We did so ; and we do so still . We admitted their right to attend it , if they could get tickets , in their individual cavacitv :

      K but not as delegates . We did not fully report Mr . Deegan ' s speech . " We aid not . We did not fully report any speaker . Jtvas imposibte . The speaking commenced at Jtxe , and Mr . Deegan did not commence till ten : v e went to press at five in the morning to save Vie post . That to any but Mr . Deegan will be reason sufficiently satisfactory . Every other speaker was abridged , but no other complained : trough several others were more abridged than u even he . Mt- Deegan denies that the conductors of the Leeds limes bnke forth wi : h us in the matter of the report . " We do not think Mr . Deegan knows anyihtng about it . We say they did promiseand a * a proof that they did so , the Leeds Times of last Saturday does not venture to impugn out statement

      ; we know not whether they may Aace instructed Mr . Deegan to diny it Jor them ; <» tt ice believe that , if it be even so , this secondnand denial will not be so likely to be believed as V M had come from the dirty Doctor himself . - Wt know not why Mr . Deegan should attack the Northern Star and itt Editor . The Editor it not aware of having ever done anything either % Weor effendMr . Deegan ; and certainly the . Northern Star hat not deserved ill treatment tfc t Deegan has been an agent for we btar / rojn its commencement—in thai ca-Paaty he has contracted a debt to the office of a *» a « cAa / serious amount .

      Upon this letter we have merely to remark that the reqttirixg P / a ' * balance-sheet" is a subterfuffe , ¦ to . cause ilr . Deegan , some time ago , tent into the ofiaf a balance-sheet drawn up by hinudf , from which it appeared that he teat owing eight shUlingt more than we have charged to him . This is the way that men of Mr . Deegas ' t kidney " push the Star . " They first get into arrears at the office , then Xold up the paper and its ediUr to tcom and ridicnle , " and then fia&y refute to pay . J . Wn . tu . KS toys that Mr . Richardson ' s statement , in his Rights of Woman , about women being employed in coal mines , is incorrect to far as Durham and Northumberland are cvntemed , and that the trices and daughters of the pitmen

      in these districts are employed as women ought to be , in making the homes of their husbands and fathers comfortable .

      LEEDS . —A Rascally Case . —A poor man has sent the following communication to our office . We give it as received : — " On last Monday week , as I was proceeding on the Calls , laden with a turn of potatoes , I was overtook by Mrs . Fullon , of No . 7 , George-itreet , and accused by her with stealing her potatoes . Upon this I remonstrated with her , and told her that the was mistaken in the man , and she had better go bome and see if they were not there . Policeman Fitzpatrick , No . 18 , coming up at the tune , Mrs . Fullon told him she had paid me to carry the potatoes into Georges ' -street , but I was stealing them and taking them elsewhere . After receiving some rough usuage and bad language from the policeman , I was taken into custody , my potatoes

      taken from me , and escorted down to the Warehouse Hill , where the woman had purchased her potatoes , when she was informed I was not the person she had engaged . I was then set at liberty . Fitzpatrick and the woman then went down to her house , where they found the man waiting at her bouse with her potatoes , and had been some time . Considering that I had been badly used , I went down to the police office to lodge a compla&t against Fitzpatrick . Haring stated my ease , Fitzpatrick was desired by Child to prefer a charge of assault against me , which war dene ; they then ransacked my pockets and took my watch and money from me , and locked me up for upwards of four hoars , when they took me before the magistrates , and I was fined 2 * . 6 d .

      and 5 a . costs , as the policeman swore that I had knocked him down twice . I being in confinement , as I have stated , had not a chance to get any one to speak-in my behalf . They thought fit to treat me in the manner I hare described . By inserting this in your ralaable paper on Saturday next , you will much oblige , William Bahkeb , porter , on the Warehouse Hill . " If the facts be as here stated , they are most disgraceful to the police force of Leeds ; and shew the necessity of the people ' s putting them&elYes at once into the right position in reference to all political and social matters—a position which would enable them to protect " their crder" from oppression ; while it would also Becnre iustice to alL

      BABNSLE 1 T . —Tbade . —This town i » now m * distressed state , owing to the want of employment , the manufacturers being redacing their hands more than one half ; add to that the indeBtency of the weather , which renders it donbly painful to poor men , who have to leave the town and go seek work elsewhere ; indeed , the wonder to mu , how they find men to work for them , when we contemplate that there is neTer more than four or &r § months partial work . BU&TO 1 T . —On Thursday night week , Mr . Day's house , of Burton , was broken into by some thieyes , and a large quantity of bacon , batter , and cheese taken therefrom , together with a vast deal of linen , and wearing apparel , and also some geese from an outhouse . If the times continue as they are , without a remedy , for any length of time , the working classes will be conTerted into a body of thieves

      HTODBBSrXBlB . —MlDDLB CLASS JUSTICE . — Hear this , oh 1 ye pretended followers of the meek and lowly Jesus , but in reality the worshipper * of Mammon . —A manufacturer , residing ) at Mold Green , one of the cheap bread men , and what is worBe , a " pillar" of a certain religious body in thi * town , a few weeks since reoeived his account for gas supplied during the last wiuter , which account amounted to rather more than he expected . Well , what of that ? You shall hear ; this " Pillar , " this •* Cheap Bread" man , immediately sets to work , and calling his workmen together informed them Vbat each of them owes him for what—gas , the sum of nine shillings and sixpenoe ! Ob ! sixpence per week for the last nineteen weeks past . —Of

      course the poor workmen , whose wages are email enough , God knows , remonstrated , but it was of no arail ; they must either submit to the impost or quit , and several who would not submit to be robbed , were turned to the wide world , in the midst of a hard winter , to starve , for having the impudence , as it was termed , to resist the tyranny of this tyrant . One of his men , more determined than the rest of his fellow-workmen , being also a member of the body , expostulated with him upon the tyranny and the unchristian principle of such conduct . Thereupon the noble minded pillar flew into a terrible rage , and the poor man who thus had the honesty and firmness to reason with this pretty tyrant , was dismissed instanter ! 1

      Christian Charity . —Last week , a poor woman from Bayhall , was brought to the panah church for interment , and being ten minutes too late , the humble minister of the church would not inter her until the extra sum of 43 . 6 d . was paid , and that first , too , which had to be collected from the people there on the spot ; the poor woman having been buried by subscription ! New Bastilh Practice , by a Female at Huddeksfield . —When the present overseers of Hudgave up possession of the workhouse , to the Guardians , they expelled Mr . and Mrs . Brunton , who , for humanity and good order , were unsurpassed in their office of master and mistress of the house , and put in ihoir stead a lunatic of the name of Mr . W .

      Taylor , from Sheffield , with his aunt , a widow named Ains worth , who had been expelled for conduct which cannot be named here . The insane nephew , who was placed there in order that the woman might have the sole command , was , within a fortnight , sent back to Sheffield , wrapped in blank * ets , &o . to his mother : he returned , and was soon packed to Blackpool , and on his return ( after being repeatedly told that the order of things was reversed by placing a madman over the Bane inmates of the workhouse ) was dismissed , and again seat back to his mother at Sheffield , and his aunt ( Jezebel , as she is commonly called ) left in possession . This termagant has had the execrations of 99 out of every 100 rate-payers : she has only the support of the

      screwgut Guardians , as she is so well fitted to ' thetr purposes of oppression , supplying small quantities of coarse food , and flogging . A widow , wno bad been an iumate of the said workhouse , left it to be married , leaving a child in the house , she having no means by which to support it . Shortly after the mother had left , the Jeeebel of a mistress engaged this child to a collier at Thornhill ; who , finding that he ( the child ) bad no strength , returned him , not to the workhouse from which he took him , but to the mother . This woman ( the workhouse mistrest ) if she deserves the name of woman , took upon herself thus to dispose of the child without the knowledge of the overseers of the poor , or the poor house committee , so that no human being is safe in her custody . Now , mark ! The child ia seven years old : he weighs 42 pounds , and measures 4 li inchel

      in height . What will the mothers of EagianQ »* tothis ! Will they submit to have unprotected infancy driven to labour in a coal pit by a barren termagant—a fiend like this—a tool ot the tools and tyrants at Somerset House ? The case of this child has been twice before the Board of Guardians , a number of whom attempted to put down the enquiry by clamour , but , it would not do , they were compelled to acknowledge the crime of their protegee and that she had done wrong , and imagined that this would get her out of the scrape ; but it is intended to make a motion that she be called before the board , reprimanded , and dismissed . On Friday last , one of tbe Guardians took this poor unfortunate child into the Board-room , lifted him upon a chair , and told them to behold an independent British labourer ; and even this u cut" did not produce a single blush upon their brazen fronts ! !

      A New ( but Unlawful ) Way to Pay Old Debts . —After an experiment of four years , and with all the soasted blessings which were promised , and all the curses * ' loud and deep " against the opponents of the New Poor Law ; alter having London police , local police , constables , and military , to subjugate the rabble to submission to it , what has it produced ? Why , nothing less than a complete revolution in the minds of the very individuals , who were mainly instrumental in so far introducing " the accursed thing" amongst us ! They are now sick

      and sorry tbac they should have been so mad as to bring upon themselves ( not minding the poor ) so heavy au itfliccion . Such has been the increase of the rates , that they are truly alarmed at the ruinous addition . And what hare the present Whig majority of the guardians been driven to ! Those props of it hare actually commenced a regular course of l&w-brcakiDg ; they began Borne time ago to give what they call cheques , bat re&Uy a nondescript sort of payment , purely illegal . These are passed through their hands , thus defrauding the revenue . Here is a copy of one : —

      Huddersfield , 8 tfc Jan . 18 * 1 . To tbe Treasurer of the Huddersfield Union . Pay to Mr . Samuel Drake , or bearer , two hundred and forty three pounds five shillings . J . M . Maxfield , Presiding Chairman . SE ' isr- }« - ¦* - ¦ C . S . Floyd , Clerk . Payable twenty-eigbt days after date . J . M . Maxfield .

      There are six cheques dated the 8 ch , and twelve dated the 15 th of last mouth , amounting in the whole to about six hundred pounds . " Necessity ia the mother of invention , " Those boasters and denouncers hare invented this scheme , and broken the law , in order to save themselves a little longer from disgrace ; but the silly abject tools of the Somerset House triumvirate , have lost sight of the tenfold disgrace they fall into , the crime they commit , and the punishmeut which no doubt will be awarded .

      Another Shiloh come . —Very recently the village doctor of Hoiiley was called to attend a young woman , not fifty mile 3 from the workhouse . Tn « mother and daughter held one opinion , Ihe doctor expressed another . The women persisted , and lee : hesand blisters were applied , but lo 1 in a few , a very few da > s , the younger brought forth a living soul , but insisted that it had no father . Oh , thiB New Poor Law , which drags poor rates , instead of supplyiug them to , from the poor , in order that the placemen and understrappers may riot in luxury , lewdness , and debauchery . Those poor houses under the new system are no better , it would Beem , than brothels ; and the writer , Mr . Editor , would be glad to state who the putative father i . « , providing that a certain relieving officer would give you a guarantee that no action for libel would be brought , it is well known , Sir , that that tbe lawyers hold that the greater the truth the greater the ltDel . —Correspondent .

      At a meeting of the committee for petitioning her Majesty in council to incorporate our borough , several letters were received from different members of the council , with their opinions on the subject . After a long discussion , it was agreed to write again to Lord Normanby before the petition was sent for presentation . The Anti-pbtition has only got about 200 signatures , while that for the Charter or incorpation has above 3 , 000 , all inhabitant ratepayers . Anti-Corn Law Association . — The Operative Anti-Corn Law Association of this town , has fallen into insignificance , and in all probability will not

      again appear before the public . The meetings are now very thinly attended ^ and members arc not to be found since the discussion at the Philosophical Hal ) . The Chartists have declared their intention to meet them at all time * where they appear in public , either by lectures or discussion . If the operatives of the association be sincere , they will either call upon the people to discuss the question , or abandon it . It is said that petitions are to be got up , but surely the operative * will not demean themselves to do the dirty work of a few in a hole and corner , but take the opinion of the public , as to the best means of obtaining total and efficient repeal .

      Too thick ore the Ground . —In a place in bnxton Road , Huddersfield , known by the name of " Floyd ' s Rookery , " a shoemaker las apparently lived very comfortable with one wife , but another spouse came and took possession of a portion of the house , and Crispin also finding himself rather crowded , the cobbler thought proper to fix up / m the front of his dwelling tbe following inscription : — "A wife to let on reasonable tennB . '' We have not heard that a tenant has been found , and between the two , the poor cobbler has kept to his last .

The room in which the dinner was held was decorated with flags , evergreens , portraits , &o . In the course of the evening numerous patriotic toasts and sentiments were riven , and ably and eloquently responded to ; in addition to Which , various appropriate souks were sung . Some of the speakers took occasion to repudiate the theological opinions of Paine ; although highly eulogising his political sentiments .

On arriving at the church yard the ourate discovered one of the party carrying a large book , and imagining that he was going to act in opposition to him , told him vety significantly that he had best take care and not do himself an injury . The man replied , do" not be alarmed ; whether I injure myself or not , I shall not injure thee . " The ourate again cautioned him against injuring himself , and the man again gave him the quaker-like answer of" never

      mind , 1 shall not injure thee , " when proceeding to place his book in order , with the apparent intention ot reading , the curate took the alarm , and sent the clerk post-haste to inform the churchwardens , who came running to prevent the mischief .

This was a complete trick upon the people , and a regular scheme to make tbe meeting a "hole and corner" affair .

      BIRMINGHAM .- —Public Office . —The Crimk of Poverty . —Mr . Johnson was charged by a policeman with breaking a square of glass in the shop window of Mr . Showell , bookseller , New-stroet . The case excited great attention , and shows up tho condition of the industrious population of this ' * happy country . " It appeared , from the statement of the policeman , that the prisoner came up to him in the street , and asked him where he was to apply for relief , as ho had been a day without food . The policeman advised him ts go to the workhouse . The prisoner answered that he had been there , and was refused relief ; that he did not want to steal , as that would cause him to lose his character ; but that he must have something to eat , if he was forced to go to prison for it , and thereupon thrust his hand through a square of glass . The policeman immediately took him into the shop , in order that the

      owner should be satisfied . Mr . Showell having questioned him , and finding that the man was in extreme distress , immediately supplied him with necessary refreshments , and wished him to be set at liberty ; but understanding that he was determined to have au asylum to protect him from hunger , he consented to his being taken to the Police Office . This statement was corroborated by Mr . Showell , who did not seem inclined to injure the prisoner . Mr . George Redfearn , prison keeper , stated that so numerous were the offences committed for the purpose of being sent to prison , that the magistrates were compelled to order that they should be kept the first month ou bread atid water . Mr . Lawrence , the sitting magistrate , then ordered that the prisoner should be confined to hard labour for six weeks , the first four on bread and water . This is a picture of England , " the envy of surrounding nations , and the admiration of the world . "

      Bobbery of a Barber ' s Shop by a Policeman . —Manchester , Feb . 4 . —On Thursday morning , Mitchell M'Clough was brought before Mr . Maude , at the Borough Police Court , ^ Manchester , on a charge of baring stolen a razor and comb , under tbe following ciaoumstancea : —Mr . Peirse , Police Inspector , said that Mr . Hanson , hairdresser , of Great Ancoafsstreet , cane to the offloe ^ and stated that he bad been robbed of a comb and rwar , and that the same had been found in the prisoner's coat pocket . Mr . Hanson , prosecutor , was then sworn . He said that the prisoner , M'Clougb , came to bia shop to be shaved , and when be ( Hanson ) bad shaved him , the prisoner gave him a shilling to get changed , so that be might pay him . Hanson went out to procure change , and returned and

      gave it to him . Shortly after , Mr . Nathaniel Pock cmae into bis shop . Hanson told Peck that he had been robbed of a comb and a razor , and that no one bad been in the shop but the prisoner and Mr . Peck ; but he was sure that P « ck bad not taken them . Mr . Peck , who is a respectable man , replied " No ; it must be the policeman . " Hanson immediately went to the policeman ' s lodgings , and inquired for him . He wu informed that he was asleep in bed . A topcoat bong in the room , and Hanson asked the -woman with whom M'Clougb . was lodging , whether he might be allowed to search the pockets ; permission was given , and . the result was , that he drew out the comb aud razor now produced from the pocket *

      ot the policeman . Mr . Maude asked the prisoner what he bad to say for himself . Prisoner said he went to the 8 h » p to be shaved j and as the barber had been in the habit of cutting hair for the force , and as he had no comb , he thought he . might get one from the barber , but it was his intention to have returned it Mr . Maude—Why did you not ask for it ? Prisoner answered—Because , being a policeman , he though he might take it without asking . The Superintendent , Coohreae , merely corroborated the evidence of Hanson and Peirse . Mr . Maude to Hanson—Are you auro those articles are yours ? Hanson—Yes : he could swear to them , because his name was upon them . Mr . Maude , without further hesitation , committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Sessions .

      ADDERS URV . —Within about fourteen miles of the writer ' s residence , there has been another of our wealthy and aristocratical displays of brutality , and man-debasing exhibitions , a prize fight ; and never , in the remembrance , of the oldest inhabitant in this part of the country , was there known to have been collected together such a mass of blackguardism , thinielorigging , thievish set If New South Wales had been culled , and the scrapings of all hell collected together , it could not have overmatched it ; and whether the day did not prove so fortunate for their nefarious practices as they wished , they were determined to make it out by their evening ' s maraudings . On their return from the brutal place , they robbed all they fell in with ; and since I have begun writing these few lines , three

      daring robberies have been committed in the broad light . A person of tbe name of Loftos , ( Banbury ) a teacher of French and drawing , bad been the same afternoon receiving his pay , and on his return homo , when about one hundred yards from the Adderbury Turnpike Gate , a cart with five or six fellows in it overtook him , stopped , and asked him to ride . He replied in the negative , when he was knocked down , aud robbed to the amount of thirty pounds in money , and checks , and also his watch , with which they decamped . He was bruised very much by the monsters kneeling on bis stomaoh . It was about nix o ' clock in the evening , and the Sovereign coach , from London to Leamington , wm at the bar at the same time , and a shepherd was not fifty yards from the place ; but the

      poor man knew nothing ot it till afterwards , aa he had no chance of making any alarm whatever . The same evening , King ' s Sutton Church was broken into , but luckily there they had their trouble for their pains Oh Thursday evening , a respectable architect , of Banbury , was coming home , and when within a few yards of Hoporoft ' s Holt , on the Oxford Road , was stopped by four men , and robbed of about twenty shillings in silver , and also his watch , worth £ 4 , with which they got safe off . Such is the pastime—I beg pardon—the wickedness which our legislators , aristocrats , and bull-headed frog fanners , the fifty pound captives , and our superiors (?) patronise , and publish In a puper , which might be very properly called .

      Woolwich , February 1 . —Escape of a Convict . —About half-past six o ' clock on the morning of Tuesday last , one of the convicts belonging to the Warriar convict ship , moored off the Dockyard , Woolwich , made his escape , and although every exertion has since been made to recapture him , he has eluded the vigilance of the police . Last Sunday evening , during divine service , at a Dissenting meeting-house , in the City , the minister interrupted the Binding of the hymn , previous to the sermon , by the following ejaculation : — If that gentleman who sings so very loud , cannot sing more in tune , he had better leave off altogether . "

      Destructive Fire in London . —On Tuesday morning , at ten o ' clock , a fire originated on the premises of Messrs . Painter and Co ., the extensive cabinet-manufacturera . Fmsbury-pavement , Muorfields , which has involved the total destruction of that spacious building . The area occupied by it was almost an acre in extent , and the top of it was surmounted by a dome . The fir < 3 , it is supposed , arose from the boiling over of some varnish in one of the warehouses , which was situated under the roof . Mr . Painter had prompt information of the unfortunate circumstance , and he directed his servants to proceed instantly for the engines . The inflammable properties of the varnish , however , hood communicated to tbe other materials in the room , when it

      beoame soon evident that no effort could arrest the progress of the devouring element . The flames raged with fury , and rushed from fioor to floor with amazing rapidity , and passing out at the windows , carried them across the street , which is there about 200 feet . wide . The various engines from the different stations of the London Fire Brigade quickly arrived , but water was not supplied with sufficient promptitude . Long before eleven o ' clock t&e whole of the Messrs . Painter ' s premises were in one .-olid flame ; they presented an awful sight ; and such was its power , that many persons in Chiswell-street were unable to remain there . At tke houses on the opposite Bide of the pavement , the shutters of the shops of which were put , the shopmen

      were compelled to be employed in flinging buckets of water upon them . The engines also played above , the effect of which was to prevent their ignition . By this time , however , the house adjoining the Messrs . Painter's , which was occupied by a medical man , at the corner of Fiusbury-Bquaro , caught fire . The rear of the houses to the south , also , in Cross-etreet , belonging to Mssara . Baker and Co ., importers of foreign wines , of Mr . Everest , a wine merchant , and of Messrs . Ballard and Co ., paper hanging manufacturers , were in the same situation , and unfortunately the wind was blowing in that direction . During the progress of destruction carried on by the devouring element , occasional explosions were heard , which were

      supposed to proceed from different iuiidmniabie bodies , while largo burning masses of furniture were frequently driven among the crowd . At eleven o'clock , a large portion of the front wall of the premises fell down . Fortunately it descended in a perpendicular direction . An immense mass of dense and heated smoke instantly arose , which had a terrific appearance . As soon as it passed away the whole interior of the premises presented a dreadful scene , while the heat was much more intense . As it was impossible for the engines to produce any effect upon the building , the men exerted themselves to arrest the progress of the flames from causing further damage to the adjoining houses . A large body of police of the 6 division ,

      under Inspectors Robinson and Slacket , were present tokeepofftheimmensecrowdassembied together . The loss of property is said to exceed £ 25 , 000 . No portion of Messrs Painter and Co . ' s premises and manufactory are remaining ; the whole are burnt to the ground . The firm are insured in the Phoenix Fire Office , but , Mr . Painter states , far below the extent of property consumed . The premises of Dr . Shoveller , No . 50 , adjoining , and at the corner of Finsbury-square , are completely gutted . He is insured in the Protestanta and Dissenters' Fire Office . No . 49 , Fiiiabjuy-square , belonging to Mr . Gregorie , professor , seriously damaged by water ; insured . Houses on the west aide of the Pavement , opposite the premises burned down , No . 1 , belonging

      to Messrs Cater and Wood , part damaged by fire ; No . 2 , Mr . Evans ; No . 3 , Mr . Reymoud ; No . 4 , 5 , 677 ,-8 , and 9 , similarly damaged . Several houses in Cross-street have sustained damage . Most of the occupiers are insured . The cause of the fire cannot be learnt . An accident occurred during the raging of the fire to a man in working one of the engines . He had the ends of his fingers jammed off , and ib now at St . Barthplemew ' s Hospital . Nearly the whole of the premises now destroyed formerly belonged to the far-famed bookseller , Mr . Lackington , who , from the very humble condition of penny

      trifles in the street ? , became successively tne proprietor of an old book stall , a librarian and bookseller , and , in the result , realised an immense fortune , after which he wrote his life to explain to the rising generation the way in which he had from the very smallest of beginning created for himself , by his prudence and economy , the eminence which he then occupied . During his occupancy of tho spacious premises in Finsbury-Bquare , a sensation was caused by the driving of one of the mail-coaches round the circular counter in ; his immense shop , above which , in his time and for many subsequent years , arose a dome containing several galleries filled with a vast assortment of books .
