Jones , the rector , waB preaching , a false alarm of fire was raised , which for some time created the utmost confusion and disorder , though happily it does not appear that any person was seriously injured . The alarm was first created by some children in the gallery , who , frightened by a terrific storm of wind and rain , rnshed from the church and raised a cry of " Fire ! " A panio was the consequence ; in every direction the people were seen hastening from their places , the aisles became blocked , and the most frightful shrieks were heard from those who were thrown down and tmmpled upon in the outer passages . The rector for some time endeavoured in Tain to calm the congregation , and to point out the groundlessness of the alarm , while the efforts of the curate , the Rev . E . Day , who left the reading desk to lessan the disorder , were equally fruitless . Fully a quarter of an hour elapsed before silence could be obtained , when the rector , after expressing his regret at what had occurred , briefly concluded the sermon and dismissed the congregation .

Frost ( a firm better known as Thomas Ogden and Sons ) , Manchester , was destroyed by fire on Saturday evening , by the watchman ' s lamp falling among the cotton in the creel between two self-acting spinning frames of 300 spindles each . The mechanic states that his hammer came accidentally in contact with the private watchman ' s lamp , and knocked it out of his hand . He had been longer in repairing the shafting thau he expected on Saturday afternoon , in oonsequence of finding that a brass step on which the shaft worked was nearly worn through , and he had to replace it with a new one . The evening came on , and he called in the private watchman to light him with his lamp . Tbe fire spread along the frame with great rapidity , and he sent the watchman for water , whilst he drew out the traversing

      part oftbe spinning-frame and succeeded in putting out the fire upon that . The watchman returned saying he could find no water in the yard , and they then tried to get some water pipes on the stairs , but a boiler was undergoing repair at the other end of the mill , and the water had been turned off from the staircase pipes to supply the boiler . Each of them had been supplied with mister keys , but they had not these with them , so that they could not unlock the door : » t the top of the staircase , which was the only resource for water after these repeated failures to get a supplv Thus nearly five minutes of valuable time was lost before the fire engines were sent for . The only portion of the mill saved was the engine-house , with a valuable new uinety-horse engine and boiler at the south end . The books

      were also saved .

      Rumoured Abmiko of the Rural Police . — A rumour has obtained currency among 3 t the rural constabulary within the last few days , that the Government have it in contemplation to arm the various bodies of the county police in this kingdom with guns and bayonets , after the manner of the Irish constabulary , and that the constables will in future be enlisted for a period of seven years . —Manchester Courier . Sir Fitzrot Kblli asd tub Representation op Exeter —For some time past vague rumours have been afloat in iixeter that the late Solicitor-General intended to solicit the suffrasres of the electors at the next election . Nothing positive , however , was known till Monday , when at ''early dawn the city waa placarded with an address from the learned gentleman , stating , that haviug been invited by a large portion of the constituency , he had determined to offer himself as a candidate to represent their interest in Parliament . He declares his sincere and unalterable attachment to the Church of England in all its purity and intesritv ¦ fln

      attachment which he deems not incompatible with the uni-Tersal religious liberty to which tbat church is itself , under Divine Providence , indebted for its independence and stability . Upon the important subject of the agricultural , commercial , and shipping interests , he says he heBitates not to declare his conviction that , under the circumstances which now press themselves upon public attention , it has become the bounden duty of every legislator to lend his aid in Parliament to relieve the agricultural interest from the unduly oppressive burdens and severe distress under which he says they have so long laboured .

      Colusrt Explosion near Manchester . —Another shooking colliery explosion occurred on Monday morning , at ¦ R ingley , near Manchester , resulting in the immediate death of three colliers , besides fourteen others more or less burnt , of whom two are at the point of death , and three others in a dangerous state . In all , seventeen persons have Buffered from this sad occurrence . The pit where the accident occurred belongs to Messrs . Knowles and Stott , and is known by the name of the Oannel Mine . The shaft is from 130 to 140 yards deep , and the workings extend about 200 yards from the . shaft . It wag originally ventilated by an old shaft , about 200 yards distant , with a furnace to assist ventilation , but has been rather noted for bad air ; and for some years it was not unfrequently that the men had to use their jackets to brush the inflammable gas — * ¦¦» . __ .. ¦ . it . — i t-

      out of their workings . At times , as we were informed by a collier , they would experience the foulness of the gas when descending ; and only half way down the shaft , a few months ago , a road was driven through into Kersley-hall mine , § 00 yards distant , and this to some extent improved the draft . The colliers usually went down with safetylamps , and tried the state of gaB in their respective workings , although a fireman was employed specially for this work . On Monday morning the workmen , thirty to forty in number , descended soon after six o'clock , and had stripped , bufc scarcely got to their workings when an explosion of a fearful nature occurred , a vivid flame rushing through all the workings from the direction of the shaft , accompanied with a rush of air and a noise like low thunder which lasted several minutes .. It knocked down many of

      the colliers , and threw about the tubs aud waggons with such force that they were broken to pieces . It is believed that a collier named Henry Page had fired tho gas . He had last been seen with a naked candle , going to look in an old working , ( only eight Oi nine yards from the bottom of the shaft , and where there was likely to be a quantity of gaB collected , ) for a piece of clay with which he might make a socket for his candle . After the explosion , all the colliers made directly for the shaft , some of them wrapping their flannel jackets round them for protection , and running on hands and feet to escape as much as possible the suffocating effects of the sulphur . Page was found within a few yards of the shaft quite dead , and Thomas Lindley and George Grundy , two other men , were taken out quite dead . Page

      and Grundy have each left widows and five or six children . The other sufferers are , Thomas Lindley ( no relation to the Thomas Lindley before mentioned , ) single man , very badly burnt . Frederick Barrett , single man , badly burnt . Isaac Barrett , badly burnt and at the point of death . James Morris , badly burnt and at the point of death ( the latter being a married man with three children , but Isaac Barrett being single . ) And Squire Lindley , Joseph Warburton , William Seddon , James Lord , Samuol Seudon , Jeremiah Leech , Joseph Platt , and another , man , besides two boys , all more or less burnt , some of them rather severely . An inquest was open on Tuesday on the bodies of the dead , but was postponed till the . Secretary of State ' s notice had expired .

      Longevity . —There is now living in the parish of Pitminster , near here , a woman , aged 104 , named Betty Oaten , the ages of whose living progeny are eighty , seventy-eight , sixty , five , sixty-three , sixty-one , fifty-four , fifty-three , in all 558 ! She has also forty grand-children , and 200 great grandchildren now living , and several descendants of the fifth generation . She is supported partly by parish pay , and partly by the benevolence of the ladies and gentlemen in the neighbourhood , who know her extreme old age . She has always subsisted on the most simple diet .

      Stats or the Nobth . —In addition to the reinforcements of military and police which were despatched to the disturbed districts in the middle of the week two troops of the 7 th Hussars and some companies of infantry left Dublin on Friday for Louth , Monaghan , and Armagh ; and early on the same morning a detachment , consisting of three constables , two acting-constables , and twenty-five sub-con stables , under the charge of Head-Constable Shannon , proceeded to Crossmaglen , county Armagh , on temporary service until further orders , fully armed , and equipped with extra ammunition . Private accounts continue to speak with great alarm of the

      aspect of affairs in three at least of the northern oounties Persons have been freely , mentioned as having fallen under the ban of the conspirators . Among the Hat of proscribed is a gentleman who has been a public benefactor by the extent of employment he has afforded to the peasantry and working closes ; and it is further reported that a lady possessed of landed property is compelled when leaving her house to take due precautions for her personal safety , her sex failing to protect her from the threats of the agrarian legislators . Five companies of the 62 nd regiment left Dublin on Monday for the disturbed districts , and further reinforcements are held in immediate readiness for the same destination .

      The " Monagban Standard " states that four Poor Law guardians have received threatening noticea , warning them that if they vote upon a certain measure contrary to the wishes of the agrarian legislators , the fate of the late victim to RibandiBm awaits them . Pauper Emiobation . —It appears from the proceedings of the Carlow Board of Guardians that steps have been taken towards the emigration of 600 paupers , and it has been resolved that none shall be eligible to offer themselveB who shall havo entered the house after the 20 th inst . This will prevent au influx of paupers for the purpose of emigration , and avert any inconvenience that may arise from a desire to participate in the benefits of the proposed plan without being duly qualified by a sort of probation in the house .

      Another . Attempt to Assabsinatb . — As Mr . George Morant , the agent of the Shirley estates , in Monaghan , was walking in bis garden on Friday , a gun was discharged at him by some person concealed behind the wall . The shot happily proved harmless , although Mr . Morant had a narrow escape , as some of the slugs with which the piece was loaded entered his hat . The scene of this outrage is close to the town of Carrickmacross . The "World" v . the Castle .-Ou Saturday c ounsel on behalf of Sir William showed cause against the conditional order for a new trial being made absolute in the case

      of " Birch f . Somerville " The full Court of Queen ' s Bench decided that the conditional order should be set aside , with costs . Death by DESTiTOTiON . —On Saturday an inquest was held at Rushall , in the Queen ' s County , before John H . Owen , Esq ., on view of the body of a labouring man , named Michael Tohey , who had been found lying in a state of exhaustion by the roadside on the evening of the previous Thursday . The jury found the verdict to the effect that the deceased came by his death in consequence of destitutiou and exposure to cold , acting on a debilitated constitution .

      Mr . Cuambre . —There is no reason to doubt ( sayg the " iMail" ) that oneof the persons in custod y for the attack on Mr . 0 uambr 6 is deeply implicated in the murderous deed . We stated in a former publication that a Ribbonman's card was found on his person , inscribed with Mr . Chambre " s name , and his own underwritten , and bearing the ominous pass-word— " A deed is to be done . " Another discovery , serving to illustrate that proof , sheds some light also upon the source from wfcich the Order whose badge he bore , derives its inspiration . A fragment of a newspaper , in which refreshments were brought to the prisoner by a member of his family , has been compared with tbe wadding of the blunderbuss left behind by the assassins and found to correspond precisely where it had been previously torn for that purpose .

      THE LATE DISASTROUS GALES . Hurricane in the Channel—On Saturday night it blew oneof the most fearful gales in the English Channel ever known- The new West India steamer Orinoco , on its passage from London to Southampton , experienced its full fury . The gale came on just as the Orinoco passed Dover . The sea washed over her funnels , and for three hours , although her engines were going at full speed , she was enabled to make but little way ahead . She took eight hours in running the twenty miles from the Foreland to Dungeness . Not a person on board ventured to . retire to rest during the whole night . She proved a splendid sea-boat , or she could not have lived out the gale . She came up to Southampton water on Sunday afternoon after her fierce encounter of the preceding night in splendid style . It is feared that there must have been a great loss of shipping and life in the English Channel . A fine brig , called tho Guide , Mr . Russell , master ,

      belonging to Stockton , was on a voyage to the Thames from Hartlepool , and when abreast of Cromer she encountered tbe formidable gale of Saturday . At length she sprang an alarming leak , and the most vigorous working of the crew at the pumps failed in reducing the water , Tremondous seas kept breaking over her , sweeping the decks , and carrying away everything moveable . As the evening advanced , she lost her steerage , and , catching a heavy blast of wind , went over on her beam-ends , and instantly foundered in some eight or ten fathoms of water . The crew had not the least means of preserving themselves , and , with the exoeption of the master , every soul on board perished . Mr . Russell oontrived to make his way up tho rigging as the vessel was going down . He secured himself in the crosstrees , and after being in that position upwards of twelve hours , he was taken off by the-Inoonstant , of Blyth , and landed near Yarmouth . When rescued he was in a most exhausted

      condition . Early on the morning of the same day another deplorable oatastrophe occurred on the same const . While the wind was raging with all its foroe from the south-west the Elizabeth , Mr . Negus master , which was on a voyage from the Tyne to London , came in collision with a bark in ballast . The violence of the shock may be judged from the fact that the bark within fire minutes afterwards foundered in deep water with every soul on board . The name of the ill-fated vessel could not be ascertained , and the formidable state of the weather prevented the Elizabeth making any prompt efforts to rescue , if possible , the poor fellows . The Elizabeth lost her bowsprit , and sustained Other damage by the collision . She cruised about the scene of the catastrophe as long as practicable , in the hope of picking up some of the crew of the bark ; but nothing of them or the wreck could he seen . The Elizabeth then

      made foy Whitby , eight or ten miles distant , which she reached in the course of tho day . The Kentish Knock , a formidable shoal some thirty miles from the eatrance of the Thames , was the scene of a deplorable wreok . A sohooner , named the Ann and Elizabeth , from Mogador to London , in beating up the Channel , was driven on the Knock , and the violent weather which was prevailing destroyed all chance of getting her off . She speedily became a wreck , and we regret to add that a passenger ( whose name has not been communicated ) and master were lost . The remainder of theorewand i second passenger were preserved by the Alpha , of Barking , which stood for Harwioh , and landed them . During the gale the crew of the Earl of Errol , bound to Boulogne , which had sprung a leak and had foundered , sought refuge on the Kentish Knock light-vessel , and have Bince been

      taken off and conveyed to Deal . In the upper part of the Swin several sunken wrecks have been observed , but the fate of the crews has not transpired . The accounts from the Welsh coast speak of the gale having been very destructive . At Southampton it blew with tremendous fury the whole of Saturday night , so much so that the French mail boat from that port was unable to put to Bea until Sunday morning . Partial Dkstrbction 0 ? the Wiiitehavbn Junction Railway . —A very serious injury was done to the Whitehaven Junotion Railway on Saturday , the sea having washed down a hi !> h strong wall , and , rushing over the embankment , tore up the rails of some thirty or fnrty yards , and also destroyed the wall which protected the other side . The spot where " the occurrence took place is about half a mile from Whitehaven station .

      On Sunday . afternoon we were visited by athunder- « tovm , accompanied by a heavy galo and sharp hail showers . In tho oourse of that day a portion of the paddle box of a f teamer and the carcases of some swine were cast ashore near Horrington . DoniNO the gale of Saturday night a gasometer recently erpcted at the gas works in Southampton , whioh contains 50 , 000 cubic feet of gas , was blown down . The escape of the gas oansed serious annoyance in the neighbourhood of the factory . Prigiitfdi . Tornado . —Saturday , the 24 th of January , 1 S 52 , will never be forgotten by tho present generation of the people of Nenagh . Tho whole night the rain descended in torrents , and at nine on Sunday morning one of the most frightful hurricanes ever witnessed Bwept through . 1 portion of the town , carrying away the entire roofs of houses and several chimneys at the same time . This frightful

      scene did not last more than one minute ; had it continued another , the entire town of Nenagh would have been a heap of ruins . Afcer the storm ceased groups of people were to be seen , gazing in amazement at tho -wreck before them . The entire roof of the police barraok , a new and substantial building , has been entirely swept away . Had it occurred at an eavly period of the morning there is no doubt but many of the policemen would have lost their lives , as several of the men were in tho habit of Bleeping in the room beneath . Never did Wmn « h present such a dismal appearance as it did this morning ; every pane of glass and sashes smashed to pieces in several houses , the blinds in some pulled down , shutters closed , streets Btrewn with fragments of timber and immense quantities of slates ; in lacfc , Nenngh looked as if a victorious amy had passed through our town and had put the inhabitants to the sword . A few minutes before the tornado made its appearance a heavy rain and strong wind prevailed . This frightful hnr .

      ricane resembled the noise of distant thunder , and whatever it came in contact with it levelled to the ground or swept before it with indescribable power and velocity It is a very curious circumstance tbat it pursued its terrifio course through Castjo-streot and a pit of Summer-hill tSZl » tW- ^?» * t m totally ™ °° nng tho house of Captain Baldwin . The inhabitants of Barrack-street and many _ other localities did not hear or know anything about wl h ™? ° T \ they a , PPeared in the "toet , when they were horror-struck at the spectacle nmented to thefr view
