      S ^ aV ^ TRUCTION of adelphi ^ ^ UEATRE . 'AT GLASGOW . ; > We have to announce the total destruction , by firet > . of the Adelphi Theatre which occupied part of an . nnenolesed area in front of theVestern approach to , the Graen . - . The entire edifice was . consumed in such a short space of time that it is rather difficult to a ? - rive at the true facts connected fwitkihe origin of the conflagration ¦; bat so far aa we hate been able to learn , they arena follows •—A few minutes after one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon , rehearsal , as usual , wasgsingon upon the stage of the theatre . The nlay , by a singular coincidence , was the 'Ocean Monarch , or the Ship on Fire ' -and one of the actors who represented Captain Murdoch , was addressing a sneech to the aunposed passengers and crew on ^^^^^ 3 ^ Z ' 1 J

      the impropriety and danger of smoking , when heobserved a sudden glare of light in the north west corner of the upper gallery . He had scarcely time to utter an exclamation of alarm , when the fUmea shot along the whole range of the gallery feat ' , and tbo stage was in an instant deserted by all the players , who consulted their safety by a precipitate- retrea * . Hardly a minute elapsed till dense volumes of smoke wereobservediesuing from all parts of the roof , almost immediately afterwards followed by flames , and- in a very short time the entire building was enveloped in fire . Immediate information was sent to the police office , and the Glasgow fire brigade , West of England , and Corbels engines , under . the . charge , of Mr Forsyth , were soon after on the sprit , bat before they

      had reached the scene of conflagration it wa ? evident to ever ; one that all hope of mini ? any part of tbo theatre wasentirely gone , The fire brigade , therefore , directed their efforts altogether to tho preservation of the property contiguous to the burning edifice ; awl it m » y be mentioned that , but for their speedy arrival , the extent of damage would have been much greater than what it is , as some wooden sheds and booths to the south of the theatre had actually caught fire , and part of the roofing of St Andrew ' s Espiscopal Church , though at some distance , got so far ignited from the intensity of the heat to which it was exposed , that a bote had to be detached for the purpose of pitying on the building . The backs of the houses in Steel Street were exposed to danger , at d a great many panes

      of window glass there were destroyed by the heat * though away from the burning theatre a distance ot at least ISO yards . In fact , the heat wes so intense at one period that the firemen bad the greatest dim onlty in working their engines , and a poor horse , whita passing within a few yards of the fl * mts , was so much scorched that the hair was actua lly burned off its back . After playing on the adjoining tenements for upwards of an hour , and when no further danger was apprehended in that quarter , the firemen tnrned their pipes on the burning building , which ' was now almost entirely consumed ,, but without the least effect in checking the progress of the flames , which continued raging with the utmost fury until every vestige of the theatre had been entirely de stroyed . Chief Superintendent Miller and Assistant Superintendents Wilson and Machay were on the 1

      ground very shortly after the alarm was given , and , with tho assistance of a strong body of police , were ( if much service in facilitating the operations of the fire brigade . Not above aa hour and a half elapsed from the moment the flames were first observed till there was nothing left standing of tha Adelphi but a few blackened stumps , which still rose amid the smoking ruins ; and little or nothing ef any value waa saved , with the exception of a few stage dresses belonging to Mr Calvert , the lessee of tho theatre . His loss must be severe , as no insurance , we understand , was effected upon any part of the properties . The net amount of damage we have not been able to ascertain , but we believe it will amount to between £ 2 , 000 and , £ 3 , 000 ; and we regret to say that the lossto private parties will be very heavy , the building being entirely uninsured .

      It is almost impossible to account for theorijin of the fire , as no one had been in that part of the gallery where the fhmes were first observed , with the exception ef two workmen , who , about eleven o ' chek iu the forenoon , were employe ! in executing some repairs near that part of the house . - The above t ffers a somewhat singular parallel to the destruction of Mr Anderson ' s theatre , four years ago , in an equally sudden manner , and in the immediate vicinity of the Adelphi . Cooke's Circus , which stood at the south-east corner of the same area , was , likewise destroy * d by fire between three and four years ago . —Glugov * Courier .

      HORSB FlEALIIfO BY A DlSSBKTIKG PrKAGHKR'T " During the night of the 1 st of the month , a stable in the occupation of Mr Bljth , of Weaeeaham , was entered and a black mare , with saddle and bridle , stolen therefrem . Five pounds were effered for the apprehension of the thief , and Lewis Smith , the superintendent of the Ludham district-set off in pursuit of the robber . The first information Smith obtained of the mare was near Yarmouth , where one answering the description iu every particular to that stobnfrom Mr Blyth had been seen in the possession of a man , who , from his dress and demeanour , was represented as a 'dissenting parson , ' being attired in a suit of black , a white cravat , a broad brim hat . and having with him a capacious umbrella . A

      clue having thus been obtained of the mare , Smith prosecuted his search with renewed vigour , and ultimately tuoceeded in tracing the mare to the stable of the lung ' s Head Inn ,, at Ipswich . He first took possession of the mare , and likewise thesadJle and bridle , and after making inquiries Smith repaired to the dissenting chapel and quietly waited until the service was conclude J , when amongst the congrega tion who wtre _ taking their departure he recognised a man answering to the ' descripion of the one he was looking after . Smith at once took him into custody , when , after a little equivocation , he gave his name as George Smith , but afterwards said it was George Buck , which , in fact , is his real name . Upon taking Buck to the stable , Smith asked the estler who the

      person was that bad left the mare , when , before the ostler ceuld reply , Buck said ' I left it , and it ia my mare . ' The prisoner was then taken to Fakenham , and remanded for further examination , While at Fakenham , Smitb , observing in the Pohce Gazette that a horse had been stolen , on the 16 . hof October , in a similar manner , from the stable of T . C . Oldham , Esq ., oi Louth Paik . Lincolnshire , which horse had been sold by auction , at Fakenhan , on the 19 tb , made some further inquiries , and ascertained that the prisoner came from Louth , where he was in tho receist of . £ 40 per annum , as dissenting preacher . Smith immediately suspected that he might also be tin person who had stolen that horse , and upon being questioned upon the subject , he at once confessed , and also to seeing it at Fakenham . Buck was further remanded until Wednesday las '

      , in order to obtain the necessary evidence for the identification of the two horses , and also to procure witnesses for the purpose of tracing the effender from place to place with the horses in his possession . On that day he was taken before F . W . Keppell , Etq ., at Lexham , and fully committed for . trial on both charges , Mr Blyth and Mr \ 01 dham having dearly identified the horses as their property . The prisoner has for many years been a preacher of the g ospel at various dissenting chapels in that part of Lincolnshire . In his possession were found papers and correspondence , moat of which were of a religious character . On the day he was apprehended at Ipswich ho had been three times at chapel , and from his puritanical demeanour would neve r h & ve been suspected of being so accomplished a thief .

      A . UNIVERSAL PERMANENT GOVERNMENT , CONSTITUTION ' AND CODE OF LAWS , BASED ON THE UNCHANGING LAWS OF NATURE , FOR THET ^ RLD , IN WHICH THERE IS BUT' ONE ; ; REAL INTEREST P QR , ALL- ITS iPOPULATION WHEREVER SITUATED rAND ALSO ' FOR EACH STATE ORi NATION SEPARATELY , UNTIL THEY ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF FEDERATIVE UNION . - . „„* . nAvnnu „ nvn

      INTRODUCTION . The period for introducing -Hhe ,, permanent rational system of society , based on the ascertained laws of nature , for remodelling the character of man , and for gbVerniriff ' the population of the earth ! in unity , peace , progressive improvement and happiness , is rapidly approaching ; and no human power can long resist the change . - - The governments of the ' world will , therefore , soon be compelled , in their own defence , to . adopt this superior system , to prevent being involved in anarchv , war , and ruin .

      This change will root up and utterly destroy the old vicious and miserable system of ignorance , poverty , individual competition ; and contests , and of national war , throughout the world . And will introduce in place thereof , the rational system of society , in which competition , strife and wars will cease tor ever , and all will be trained , from infancy , solely to promote each' other ' s happiness . This system can be the best commenced by convincing governments , of the truth of the principles on

      which it is founded . There must be also , a sufficient number of individuals instructed to acquire its genuine spirit of charity , affection , and philanthropy for man over the world ; and taught , the best mode of applying it to practice . They must likewise possess patience , and perseverance to overcome all the obstacles which the prejudices arising from ignorance , will oppose to their progress ; and , above all , they muss be united , have full confidence in each other , and be directed by one heart and one mind . : v

      11 » is now deserving of the most profound corns , deration , that under the irrational system of society , hitherto alone known and devised la opposition to nature , almost all the external circumstances formed by man , are of a vicious or inferior character ; but that under the proposed rational system , formed in accordance with nature , all the circumstances under human control , will be of a good and'Superior character . . . . Also , that under the existing religious , political ,

      commercial , and domestic arrangements ^ OfGreat Britain , 250 individuals cannot he supported in comfort on a . square mile of land : while under the proposed system , with much less labour and capital than are now employed , 500 may be immediately supported in abundance ; and in a few years , after the new arrangements shall have be ? n matured , 1 , 000 , 1 , 500 , and probably , without any additional new discoveries , 2 , 000 individuals , may be so supported upon every square mile of land , of an average quality . ; r

      Such wilt be found to be the difference between the rational ' system of society , based on the unchanging laws of human ' nature , and formed in accordance with them , compared with a system based on falsehood , and constructed in direct opposition to the ascertained laws of humanity . Under the latter , the earth is gradually approaching toward a pandemonium ; while under the former , it will rapidly advance , without retrogression , toward a terrestrial paradise , for the creation of which Nature has new provided the most ample materials . > .

      A rational government will attend solely to the happiness of the governed ; to attain which it will ascertain what human nature is—what are the laws of its organisation and existence , from birth to death—what is necessary for the happiness of a being s 6 formed and matured—what are the best means to attain those requisites , and to secure them permanentl y for all the governed . It will devise and execute the arrangements by which the conditions , essential to human happiness , shall be fully and permanently obtained for all the governed—and its laws will be few , easily to be understood by . all the governed , and perfectly in unison with the laws of human nature .

      1 . —WHAT HUMAN NATURE IS , " Human nature , in each individual , is created , with its organs , faculties , and propensities , of body and mind , at birth , by the incomprehensible Creating Power of the universe—all of which qualities and powers are necessary for the growth , health , progress , continuation of the species , excellence , and happiness of the individual and of society ; and these results will be always attained when , in the progress of Nature , men shall have acquired sufficient experience to cultivate these powers , physical and mejpal ; in accordance with the natural laws of humanity . ' But they may be misunderstood , misdirected , and perverted by the inexperience of society , and thus made to produce crime and misery , instead of goodness and happiness .

      Through want of knowledge in our early , ancestors and their descendants , this perversion of man ' s natural faculties has , so far , been universal among all people , through all past time . The natural organisation of each individual , from birth , may be , therefore , rightly or wrongly directed by society ; and from misconception of its powers has been , hitherto , wrongly directed . It has now , in the progress of Nature , for the first time in man ' s existence , to be rightly directed through the life of all . Human nature , its organisation , and existence , are , consequently , a compound of natural / acuities at birth , which may , from that period , be well or ill-directed l y society . Thus Nature and society are alone responsible for the character and conduct of every one .

      2 . —WHAT 13 NECESSARY FOR THE HAPPINESS OP A BEING SO ORGANISED BY NATURE AND MATURED BY SOCIEIY .

      Conditions Requisite for Happiness . , 1 st . To have a good organisation at birth , and to acquire an accurate knowledge of its faculties , propensities , and qualities . ^ 2 nd , To have the power of procuring at pleasure whatever is necessary to preserve the . organisation in the best state of health , and to know the best mode : by which to produce these things for our * selves , and to distribute them to others . 3 rd . To receive from birth the best cultivation of our natural powers—physical , mental , moral , and practical—and to know how to give this training and education to others .

      4 th , To have a knowledge of the means and the inclination to promote continually , and without ex ception , the happiness of our fellow beings . 5 th . To have the inclination and means to increase continually our stock of knowledge . 6 th . To have the power of enjoying the best society—and more especially of associating , at pleasure , with those for whom we feel the most regard and greatest affection . 7 th . To have the means of travelling at pleasure with pleasure . 8 th . To have full liberty to express our thoughts upon all subjects . < 9 th . To have the utmost individual freedom of action , compatible with the permanent good of society .

      , 10 th . To have the character formed for us to express the truth only in look , word , and action , upon all occasions—to have pure charity for the feelings , thoughts , and conduct of all mankind—and to have a sincere good-will for every individual of the human lace . 11 th . To be without superstition , supernatural fears , and the fear of death . 12 thV To reside in a society well situated , whose laws , institutions , and arrangements , well organised and well governed , are all in unison wit h the laws of human nature ; and to know the best means by which , in practice , to combine all the requisites to form such society .

      Section III . THE PRINCIPLES AtfT ) PRACTICES OF THB

      RATIONAL RELIGION . Law 12 . That all facts yet known to man indicate that there is an external or internal cause of all existences by the fact of their existence ; that this all-pervading cause of motion and change in the universe , is that Incomprehensible Power which the nations of the world have called God , > . Jehovah , Lord , & c , & c , but that the facts are yet unknown to man which define what that Incomprehensible Power is .

      Ijaw 13 . That it is a law of nature , obvious to our senses , that the internal and external character of all that have life upon the earth , is formed for them and . not by them ; that in accordance with this law , the internal and external character of man is formed for him and . not by him , as hitherto most erroneously imagined , and , therefore , he cannot have merit or demerit , or deserve praise or blame , reward or punishment in this life , or in any future state of existence .

      Law 14 . That the knowledge of this fact , with its all-important consequences , will necessarily create in every one a new , sublime , and pure spirit of charity for the convictions , feelings , and conduct of the human race , and dispose them to he hind to all that has life—seeing that this varied life is formed by the same Incomprehensible Power that has created human nature , and given man his peculiar faculties . Law 15 . That it is man ' s , highest interest to acquire an accurate knowledge of those circumstances which produce evil to the human race , and those which produce good , and to exert all his powers to remove the former from society , and to create around it the latter only .

      Law . 16 . That this invaluable practical knowledge can be acquired solely through an extensive search after truth , by an accurate , patient , and unprejudiced inquiry into facts , as developsd by Nature . Law 17 . That man can never attain to a state of superior and permanent happiness , until he shall he surrounded by those external circumstances which will train him , from birth , to feel pure charity and sincere affection towards the whole of his species—to speak the truth only on all occasions , and to regard with a merciful disposition all that has life .

      Law 18 . That such superior knowledge and feelings can never be given to man under those institutions of society wbiclt have been founded on the mistaken supposition that each man forms his own feelings and convictions by his will , and therefore has merit or demerit , or deserves praise or blame , or reward or punishment , for them . Law 19 . That under institutions formed in accordance with the rational system of society , this superior knowledge , and these superior dispositions , may be . given to the whole of the human race , without chance of failure , execept in case of organic disease ;

      Law 20 . That m consequence of this superior knowledge and these superior dispositions , the contemplation of Nature will create in every mind feelings too high , sublime , and pure to be expressed in forms or words , for that Incomprehensible Power which acts in and through all nature—everlastingly composing , decomposing , and recornposing the elements of the universe , producing the endless variety of life , mind , and of organised

      form . Law 21 . That the practice or worship of the rational religion will , therefore , consist in promoting , to the utmost extent of our power , the well-being and happiness of every man , woman , and child , without regard to class , sect , sex . party , country , or colour ; and in those inexpressible feelings of admiration and delight which will arise in all , when made to become intelligent and happy by being surrounded by superior circumstances only .

      Law 24 . J hese societies shall be composed of associations of men , women , and children , in their usual proportions , from five hundred to three thousand , the latter being the greatest number that can be most beneficially united under one scientific arrangement , to perform all the business of life . Law 25 . As these societies increase in number , unions of them , federatively united , shall be formed into circles of tens , hundreds , thousands , & e ., until they shall extend over Europe , and then to all other parts , of the world , uniting all in one great republi ? , with one interest .

      Section VI " . ON THE ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENCES . Law 35 .

This meeting , called after a month ' s notice , shall calmly and patiently investi gate the conduct of the general councils ; and if a

      majority shall determine that they have acted , or attempted to act , in opposition to these laws , the gene . ral government shall devolve upon the members of the society who have passed the councils , and are above sixty years of age , united with those who have not entered the councils , and are between twenty and thirty years of age .

      Transition Governments . * The Inhabitan...

      TRANSITION GOVERNMENTS . * The inhabitants of Europe , under all its separata governments , have had their characters so misformed , in consequence of society being , from the beginning , based on false principles , that innumer . able errors and evils have been created in practice . A new state of society for Europe has , therefore , become an immediate , irresistible necessity , to calm the excited feelings and passions of its population and a rational government is required to gradually supersede those governments which experience has

      proved to be most irrational and injurious in practice . But the characters which have been created under the old governments , have been made to become so inferior and irrational , and their practices so injurious , that without a new training and education , the people are unprepared to rationally govern themselves , or to be rationally governed ; nor can they be educated to become competent to well go . vern themselves while they shall remain within the arrangements and institutions emanating from tha false fundamental principles on which the entire system of society over the world has been alone based .

      In consequence transition governments , to reeducate and gradually new place all tbe inhabitants of Europe , are now required as the first practical measure to meliorate the present sad condition qf its population and make it rational ; and thus prepare it to live under the universal rational government , which has been previously given in detail . To establish these transition governments peacei ably and rationally , they should emanate from the existing governmsnts , whatever may be their present form , that the change maybe effected gradually , in peace , with order , foresight , and sound wisdom .

      These governments remaining undisturbed , like the old roads during the formation of the railway , which were to supersede them , should select a certain number—say seven , more or less—of the most intelligent practical men they can find , to he a committee , council , or called by any other name , who should have entrusted to them the creation of the new arrangements , under which , in the new state 0 ! society , all the business of life is to be conducted : arrangements devised to create and distribute wealth , form character , and govern in a very

      superior manner compared with existing arrangements , formed with the view to attain these results , This committee should begin the change by enlist * ing all the present unemployed into a civil army , to be trained under new arrangements , in order that they may create their own supplies of every description , be re-educated , become defenders of their fiountry in case of invasion , and maintain peace and order at home , while the regular army shall be employed abroad , as long as a regular army shall be necessary .

      This civil army to be well drilled , disciplined , properly officered , and instructed , to create the new arrangements required to re-organise society upon true principles * , arrangements purposely devised to perform all the business of life in a superior manner . Thug gradually , peaceably , and wisely ta supersede the present injurious and most miserable state of human existence by a scientific and rationally constructed society , far superior to any past or present , for permanently producing health , knowledge , and happiness to all . These transition arrangements may he made not to interfere with any existing government or public or private interests ; but gradually to supersede themf as the railway superseded the old road , most bene * ficially for all the members of old society .

      The reasons for each law of the new general constitution for the world or for any particular district , shall be given in subsequent numbers . Robert Owen . 1
