of gnnwwder under grcuEd , that the most resolute men of the fire brigade hesitated to approach snffideatly near to the fated pr ^ mis ? s to render their efforts for its preBetration eff-. ctiv « . An abundant Fnpply of water was speedily obtained from the main pipes , and seven er eight lar ^ e engines were bronght to bear on the sourh-west angle of the bnildisgi which was easiest of access , there being atthe otHer extremity enclosed ground , attached to small cotta * e 3 , the inmates of which fled ont in the most pitiable consternation , conceiving that ihe whole place most be blown op . In le * s than half an hour , the factory itself was rednced to complete ruin , and the dwelling-house , in front , a sliwht build * ing , two stories high , shared the timo fate soon
after . The discharge of fire works having created sufficient apertures , the firemen directed all their attention to the cellarage , with the view of preventing the expected explosion of guapowder , it having been ascertained , beyond all doubt , i-hat there w < 2 re on -the premises at least fix barrels of thai terrible combustible . By great exertion , they wero enabled to throw in some thousand tons of water directly overjthe cellaN , so that the ground was covered to the depth of two inches , aim ihe rockets and fragments of burning timber , were qumchtd as they fell . The firemen , perceiving that , there was no further danger of the gunpowder exploding , proceeded cautiously to the interior , and , with the hose of
several engine ? , deluged the smouldering wood that lay scattered about . Their next dmy , and it was one of some peril , was to search among the ruins for the renaics of whoever mifcht bare s-uff-red . In a few minutes the charred boJy of a lad . about 17 or 18 years o ] d , was dug out ; the next was that i > f a man of muscular frame , supposed io be Wright , ihe foreman of the factory ; : ! ie next was ihat of a full-grown man , believed to be the nntcrtunaie proprietor , Mr , D . Ernst ; and p , fourth , which s-o horribly burned as to preseut Ecarctiy any traces of humanity , was the last v . ctim fourd . The iatter was pronounced to be a woman , and the sisti-r-inlaw of Mr . D'Ernst , who Lad charge of the premises . The hta was one of ' . ho apprentices .

Sir R . Peel maintained that part of the Government ineasuio which respects barley , as bearing a duo proportion to ¦ t bat pirt which respects wheat . He had not expected , so extreme ah opposition ,: item the notice given from Jlr . Wodebouse , in which that Hon .
