      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Fbidat , Aug . 4 . The House held s day sitting , meeting at twelve o ' eloci-The Hadtney Carriages BID -went thronsh Cemmittee ; fee Highway Bates BUI "was read a' third time sndpassecL Some discussion took place in Committee on the Theatres Regulations Bill , but the clauses-were agreed to ¦ with slight alterations .

      The House then leselved itself into Committee on the Irish Poor laws . On clanse 16 , which givBff poirex to the guardians to advance funds to paupers for the purpose « f emigrating , Mr . Boss moved an amendment , -resting tics --power in the rate-payers , but the clause tras casried on a diTision . CO 5 DTICT OF IHE HUIi P 0 X 1 CB . On the Order of the Day for going into Committee o Supply being read , Ml . DlTSCOMBE said , that having been disappointed in bringing iorward the motion -with -which he -was aiboatjto condole on a former occasion , he should now call the attention of the House to a petition from tartan Inhabitants of Hull , which had been presented

      on *>«> Ssh of May . Tba petitioners complained , that a meeting having been convened in Hull in the market place on the 12 th of April last , is reference to the conduct of Saras Gsniey on thetrial of William Jones lor sedition , a l ^ r ge body of the police of the town had suddenly oome upon them without any notice , and 3 nade : a ~ bT& * al attack -cpsn the meeting , knocking down and -wounding several persons , so as to disable them fcom going to their work fort ^ o or three days , and finally dispersed t * " * ^ meeting , which the petitioners srerred was being carried on in a perfectly peaceable Twnww . vnft ¦ wonltHsave dispersed in a quarter of an iwrar of itself if it had been left alone . On the chairman , an elector of Hall , named West , applying to the

      magistrates , the pretence made was , that the meeting was obstructing a public highway j bathe conlil prove tbatit didnot , aadtiiat so apprehension was excited among the ^ n ^ vwhrn fj . He eould bring a hundred -witnesses to prove this before a committee , and be therefore locked to hear an explanation trom the Bight Hon . Baronet—iSb ? J . Graham . ) It was the undoubted right of jEn ^ liahm an to assemble to petition Parliament As to the ob&trnciion of the highway , that was impossible , beerass the meeting took place , where he understood meetings frequently tsd been held so late ago as 2842 , when the Right Hon . Baronet ( birR . Peel ) was carrying tbs Com SOI through the House . A meeting

      "was held late one evening in the market-p l ace of Hull , at which the Bight Hon . Baronet , whose Corn Bill did : not BxacHy please either party in the country , was Inrrnt in tifijy , the effigy being filled with gunpowder and other combustibles , and this was done amidst great apprehension of many persons , who felt -compelled to shnttheb ? shops , and yet so police interfered . He hoped that the . Sight Hon . Gentleman wculi not refuse a Committee . H » ease Trould not take two days in proving , sod , therefore , be hoped the Right Hon . Gentleman T » ould abow Ms grateful recollections of the people of Hull , and not refuse an inquiry into tftpiT grievances . He moved thai the petition from Hull presented on the Hit of May , be referred to a Select Committee .

      Sir J * GiiATtmf , after expressing his grateful zeool lections of tbe town of HnH , said , that on the present ationof the petition , he- had ordered an official inquiry to he made by the' authorities of Hull into the statements of the Hon . Member , and * of coarse he knew nothing about the case excepting the statement of the sutboxitieBmadeoa Gieir legporgTtglity , and of course he was not able to answer the stateseots of tbe Hon . gentleman except from what they so stated . He was not disposed , on light grounds , to interfere with popnlar meetings . But as to the facts ; in one material point ShexBwxsfio difference between the Hon . Gentleman and the magistrates , namely , in the day of the meeting . It was the 12 & of April . The meeting w » a held in tbe evening , lor tbe convenience ol the working people , and be was assured by thB magistrates it was eight . o " clock when the meeting was dispersed . At thathonrin April jtefknpwij it woold be observed , Tronld have commrnced .

      Hi . West , wbea be appealed before tbe magistrates , SMsotaUegB that a angle blow had been struck . Aa to the obstruction , the Market-place wss a square on which four streets abutted , and the Market-place , ae--eording to bis information , wat completely obstructed . Uow , seeing iliat great juzmbecs of persona tadaaseni-RBd-afterdark m QtttthBKmgMnTfl , tha police thongfet itsec&ssary , for fhB -myantaTmnnn of the peace of the town , to disperse them . Haying then directed She competent authorities to inquire , their account satisfied him that the facts were as lie had stated ? and , considering the time wbleb bad elapsed since the ccorianc « , and that it would not conduce to tbe propagation of good feelings among thB inhabitants of thp towa that ttns inquny sbould take place , he could not agree to the appemtment of a committee . He was satisfied that the conduct of the magistrates snd the police was not unbecoming—that no iDjury took place , and sot a blow "was struck .

      Mi . Gisxobsb ihengbt the explanation sot satisfactory , and that the police were not justified in the attack they had made on the meeting . It was not stated when the meeting commenced . He didxotae © that darkness was a reason for " dispersing a meeting , and he had little doubt that tbe conduct of the police was stimulated by tba language of the Bight Hon . Gentleman on a former -occasion . Mr , HUMBthough * that tbe Bight Hon . Baronet had given up the ease , for he had not attempted a reason for the dispersion , except that it was dark . Was it , then , to lie promulgated in that House that people could not meet in the dark?—daughter ) . That was a new doctrine , and be thought tbe Bight Hon . Baronet ought to be ashamed of promulgating it—( laughter ) If the square was St up with gas , as be "was informed itTras , that pot the Right Hon . Baronet xmi of court . The lateness of the time of bringing on the motion was

      mot a reason , because his Hon . Friend had postponed his motion several times out of regard for the oon-Tenifixtce of Hon . Members , and among others his < Mx . Hume "*) . Zn bis opinion the magistrates and the police ought to receive tbe censure of the House , « having violated the auth ' ority intrusted- to them . U the committee was refused , his Hon . Friend ought to more a vote of censure en those parties . If the ^ Ptfrrnw of di spersing meetings was to be carried out in Ireland and Wales , the polios would have enough to do . In Wales , too , the ? met in the dark—( hear , bear } . Surely there ought to be a difference made between meetings of the -well-disposed and peaceable , and meetings fer purposes of violence . If the working Tn » m -was not to meet after work , when was be to meet ? He was sorry ths Bight Baronet had am ex * pressed an opinion of censure of the proceedings of She magistrates . He had expected better things from file Bight Hon . Baronet

      Mr . Hun felt bound to say that he believed no persons ¦ were less disposed to exercise their powers with aSgosr asd indiscretion than the magistrates in question , She police also were well -conducted , and considerate to persons with whom they had te deal There was no mention mads of blows until after the petition had i > een presented . He would not object to the inquiry if It -were insntnted -srithoiit any view fco east censure on the magistrates , who , however , would not shrink from * ny investigation of the circumstances . Mr . E . Howabtj . after the diverse opinions -on that { S » Opposition ) side of the House , hoped the Hon . Member for Finsbmy would not press his motion to a division . Tbe fact of a . meeting being held in the town at a latsicur , was calculated to « xrate alarm and ffistruBtin the minds of the respectable inhabitants .

      Mr . Ddscohbk was resolved to take the sense of the House npon the question ; but that he did noi wisb to onsume the time of the House , he could give a list of the persons wounded . With respect te tbe statement of tne magistrates and auihonties , that no blows had been javen , becouia prove , 2 a Committee -were granted , that fiastatement wasfalse .

      REBECCA AND HER FAMILY . { Reported aprady fer the Northern Star . J - \ SwiitSEi-Thla uumurun j family appears to be greatly increasing , fer it is only ashort while ago that any depredation in this neighbourhood could , with any degree of justice be attributed to ths agency of the invisible Rebecca ; new not anight occursbut tome devilment or another la transacted , and all is laid on the good old lady ' s shoulders . j Since I wrote you the antherities have been committing right and left ; but the only testimony they could obtain in support of the charge was tbe unsubstantiated evidence of the informer , and bis testimony contradicted by many respectable -witnesses . As tbe l ocal and London journals have so fully reported the examination before the Magistrates , I sha ll not detail it here , bat call your attention to the leading facts : —

      The informer , John Jones , deposed that he was present -when tbe Bolgoed toll-sate was destroyed . Jt Wss between one and two o ' cUck in the morning ; that about 250 men were present in various disguises ; 200 were in possession of fire-arms , which were incessantly being fired , and that Daniel Lewis , one of the defendants , personated Rebecca ; that the other three defendants were also present , dressed in -white shirt * over their clothing , and that tbe destruction of the gate occupied from ten to fifteen minutes , when they went to the mountain and dispersed . On his croes-examina > tien witness stated that he was on his way from hit brother ' s , where be had been staying three hours , two of which he passed in his company , when he fell in with the BsbeccaiteB , and that he never stated to any one that he was ignorant of the parties who were present at the outrage . J

      His brother was called on , who deposed that the previous witness was not in bis bouse at all , neither bad he been so from the latter end of March ; and he was quite sure be had notices him on that week . Two other witnesses al&o swore that the informer told them that he was so afraid be did not go near them , and did not kn » w a living soul who was present . Others were called who said they would not believe him on his oath . ' The magistrates committed all the four , but admitted them to bail to take , their trial at the Assizes . Mr . Maule , solicitor to the Treasury , oonducted tbe prosecution .

      On tbe night of the day on which this examination took place , a toll bar wss destroyed within three hundred yards of the Town Hall , where the Magistrates bad held their sittings ; two more in the immediate locality , and three others in the neighbourhood of LlandiUy . Last night ( Friday ) a field of wheat was cut downlong before it was reid . j for tbe sickle—tbe property of a gentleman who bad rendered himself obnoxious to Mother Becca ; and another gate has been destroyed about two miles from town . In short every morning brings ub accounts of gates destroyed or other property injured . Several other committaU have taken place . I The town and neighbourhood is placarded with billB effirirj * £ 200 rer . ard for tbe apprehension and conviction of any of the parties concerned in tbe destination of tie Bolgo&d , Pumfield , Bhydypandy and Ty Coeh Gates .

      THE ABMB " CASE . " Mr . Yaui&an , of the Red Lion , was charged with beiiij a * ' Bebeccaite , " and purveyor general for armB for that lady and her daughters . — Marsh , agent f # r the steam-packet company , deposed that a case arrived at their office addressed to the defendant which , from s letter he received , he was given to understand contained arms . He sent word to the Mayor , who arrived at twelve o ' clock on Sunday night , ( O ! what a disregard of Sir A . Agnew I ) in company with the magistrates * clerk and s > body of police ; and when the case was opened it contained twelve fowling pieces , double and single-barrelled ; one brace of pistols ; one bullet mould and some percussion caps . Tbe informer Jones swore h © saw Vsughan at Bolgoed when : be bar was destroyed . , Mr . Vaugban offered to produce witnesses to prove thst be was at borne .

      The Magistrates , on the solicitation of Mr . Maule , solicitor to the Treasury refused to hear them , and tbe defendant was committed fer trial .

      Ttn&N OUT OP THE COPPEE WOBKEBS . The whole of the men belonging to tbe extensive copper workB around SwanBia and Neath have struck ¦ work . On Saturday last , When the turn out was finally agreed on to take place , they resolved to have a procession ; and accordingly upwards of a thousand of them entered Swansea four-abrea ^ t Before they got to the Tiw . jn street they were met by Dr . Bird , tbe mayor ( a little dumpy chap with a white hat and green spectacles ) on horseback ; who ; told them that he had got a letter from tile Queen ( 3 ) not to allow any procession to go through the town *; and he therefore urged on them the necessity of a " right about face" to be followed by a countermarch to their respective places of abode . The men showed little * disposition to comply ; and be again -began blarneying them about loyalty to

      the Queen . It is , hbwevever , rather doubtful whether or not 1 hey would hsva tomplied , bnt Mr . Vivyan , an extensive master , and . one who is generally esteemed , joined tbe Mayor , and stated that he had some statements to snake to the me © , when they agreed to ac company him to a field outside the town . It should be remarked as a lesson to other civic dignitaries that there was no unnecessary parade of physical force on k » part of the authorities , to which circumstance , eoupleawijh fhs good sense of the people , it may be attabutea tte reason why the whole sfialr passed off without 4 fae slightest breach or the peace . Tbe Mayor , ^ »? « f *> Mr . Vivyan , and Mr . Benson , all en ° ^ t ' fv e 8 cotte < i by a superintendent and four policemen then beaded the procession to the place of meeting . The numbti cf the turnouts was now greatly

      Untitled Article

      increased , and as they marched in a circle around tbe horsemen and police , each division ; under the direction of a person appointed to eonvoul Jfcs movements , the superintendent exclaimed te the Mayor in evident alarm ¦ " Theyj are all drilled r The ring being completed , and silence obtained Mr . Vivyan addressed them in the followingstrain , " Wow , my lads , I nave to thank you that you have not been guilty of a breach of the peace , but tbat yon have at once complied with tbe wish : ol the Qu ? en ( a voice " Fndge 1 " )—the wish of the Queen thaty on should not match in procession ; and now that we are on our own ground , l et me hear what you complain of ; tell me what yoa want —( "We want the price tbe same as before . " ) Pat it as

      reasonable men ; look to the trade generally ^ see how the iron-workers are reduced , and one metal goes with the other ; jthe price of copper is reduced from la . to 9 d . Pat it to | yourBelves ; the copper companies have studied tokeep the works going , but when they ask you to reduce , a little , you strike , < One-of the men said in reply that Mr . V . bad not fairly stated the case , inasmuch as he bad said they had submitted tons redactions when the fact was directly the contrary ; for although tbey nominally received as ; much as formerly , yet when it was considered that theyj had now to make flevea score seven pounds to tbeewt , and twenty-three cwt and in some cases twenty-four to ' tbe ton , be thought if that wasnot reduction he did not ; know what was . 1

      Another workman observed tbat the reduction In the price of iron instead of being a disadvantage was a positive advantage to the masters , as they rued it so extensively in the works ; that theli trade was very lin-i healthy and should be well rewarded ; and tbat a suit of clothes would not last them a month ; that although ' the " Blackaen" got nominally good wages , yet when it was remembered tbat they had to act as labourers ! and get labourers' wages one week in every month ; their average earnings were greatly reduced ; and tbat the proposed reduction would in their case be 7 s . fid . a week . ; He thought it unfair and be for one would not accede to it . i

      MclBenson , the other master present , took on himself the taBk of replying , and would assure the men that with the masters it was a case of dire necessity . Just let the men go back to their work and hope for better time * . And aa soon as they could afford it they might rely that they would again receive their former wagea . He also would compliment them on their orderly conduct on the present occasion . They had afforded an example to the whole community , and he would suggest tbat they give three cheers for the Queen , and agree to return to their work . : A man bere Bang out , " Will tbe Queen fill our bellied or clothe our wives ? " and in sorrow for the loyalty of the copper workers of Swansea , I have to record that not a solitary cheer was raised for their sovereign . I

      Tbe Mayor then thanked tbe men for tbeir orderly conduct , and after some further altercation about the wages they were in receipt of , tbe prominent part of which was maintained by an underling who bad neither tbe sense nor feeling of his employers , tbe " gentlemen "' departed , and tbe workies unanimously resolved to stand out upon " strike . "

      ( From the Times . ) , : Cabjubthbn , Aug . 5 . —Mr . Hall , tbe Commissioner appointed to inquire into the cause of the disturbances of this country , arrived here ( Carmarthen ) on Thursday night ; and onPriday commenced bis inquiry , in the manner I have already described to you—hearing privately the communlcationa of every person who will go before him , ; relative to the state of tbe country . Another gentleman , a barrister , named Ellis , aiio forms part of the Commission , and directs his attention solely to the accounts and management of the turnpike trusts . I understand he has expressed a strong opinion against the numerous side bars , and that be has drawn a Bill , new before Parliament , having for its object the consolidation of tbe trusts , and tbe gradual paying off of the tallies . Sofar from the disturbances having abated , they seem to be progressing rapidly , and a crisis of some kind must ! soon arrive . ¦

      On Wednesday night the turnpike-gate in the village of llannon was demolished , and tbe toll-house burnt . Tbe Rebecca rioters then proceeded to & mansion recently erected near there by Mr . Rees Goring Thomas , a Magistrate of the oounty , and broke all the windows . Tbey ] then gave three cheers and dispersed , j On Thursdiy morning , between tw « and three o'clock , the Rebeccsites , armed with guns and other weapons , destroyed the Furnace-lodge and Sandy Limekiln gates , near Llannelly , together with tbe toil-houses belong * ing to them , and afterwards burnt the materials . They severely beat tbe gate-keeper of Furnace-lodge , and it is rumoured shot him in tbe face . After firing a number of shots , tbey separated . There is hardly a gate or a bar in that part of the country now standing . :

      At Narbeta there is a turnpike-gate called "Tbe Plain-dealing and Stumpy-gate , " within 300 yards of the hotel where the Castle Martin Yeomanry are stationed , and where a magistrate is obliged to be ready to act On Thursday night , seven cuts and drivers came to this gate , and demanded tu be allowed to pass through . The gate is in reality a long poll across the road , swung with" chaios at each end . The toll-collector refused to allow them to pass unless they paid toll , . ' when the driver of tbe leading cart coolly unyoked his horse from the cart , and fastened it to the

      bar , and pulled it down by main force , saying , " , that was the way to pay tbe toll" A constable was standing near , who ran to tbe feotal and informed Mir . Swann , tbe Magistrate , who was there , of what was going on . Mr , Swann immediately sent three or four special constables to take tbe man into custody , but the cart drivers , -who were now passing throngb the town , set the constables at defiance . Mr . Swann then ordered cut tbe yeomanry , and the drivers , seeing them coming , ceased to muke any resistance , and were all taken into custody .

      Yesterday morning , about eight o ' clock , the iame bar having been ze-erected , a > fanner lode up and demanded to pass through without paying ! this was refused , when he made his horse drive against it , and broke it in toe centre . A constable attempted to take him into custody , bat was resisted , sod . the farmer threatened to take the life of anybody who attempted to apprehend him . The constable ran to the hotel to inform the Magistrate , who sent six or seven constables to appeehend the offender . He , however , resisted them ) and Mr . Swannfearing a serious disturbance , again ordered out the yeomanry , and the farmer , as soon as he saw them , immediately surrendered . He was fined 20 s . for tbe offence and discharged .

      To-day also a meeting of the trustees of the Three Comet Trust was held in Carmarthen , and tb » question of the number of tbe aide-bars and gates was taken into consideration . Ten ef them were recommended to be taken down , and a meeting of the trustees to decide on this 1 b appointed to be held on the 26 th instant . The different trusts , however , are bo interwoven that it is almost hopeless to effect much good without a consolidation of tbe whole of them . On Thursday the magistrates bere again assembled for tbe purpose of swearing in special constables , according to adjournment ; but although there were 250 sumnionBOB , no one answered .

      MOST DESTRUCTIVE FiRES . A fire broke out in Moseley ' a tool-factory , in Newstreet , CoTent-garden , on Saturday morning , about seven o ' clock , when the wbole of this well-known manufactory was destroyed . Tbe premises in question were bounded on one side by Rose-street , and having Messrs . Jones ' s gas-work factory abutting on the rear of the ssrae . As to the origin of the fire , nothing could be learned , but it appears that Mr . Jones , on getting up at a qnarter before seven o ' olock , and on looking out of his window , was astonished at seeing tbat Mr . Moseley ' s premises were on fire . At this time it is certain the -conflagration was raging in tbe lower part of the factory . Mr . Jones , on rushing out of tbe bouse to give an alarm , found that notice bad been previously given , and that several persons , assisted by the police ,

      were busily engaged arousing the inmates of the adjacent bouses . Several brigade engines—tbe West of England and County engines , tbe two latter under the direction of Messrs . Connorton and Carter , were with all possible expedition en the spot , and as soon as water conld fee procured they were set - to work , but tbe engines were forced to give over working for some minutes owing to there not being a snfficient supply of water . In about half an hour after the outbreak , namely , a quarter post seven o ' clock , tbe wbole range of workshops belonging to Messrs . Moseley , occupying nearly 6 , 000 square feet , were completely enveloped in flames , ' and , notwithstanding the exertions of tbe firemen , they could not prevent the adjoining property of Mr . Jones , gasfitter , of Rose-street , from igniting , and in a very short period the workshops belonging to the latter gentleman were , with their contents , entirely consumed , and owing- to the extremely combustible nature of the

      stock of Messw . Moseley , without which the flames were inconceivably rapid , and by half-past seven o ' clock , the of whole the four floors of the factory were on fire , and tbe " only part that appeared to be comparatively free frpm its ravages waa tbe -western end , which Was filled with timber . In less than ten minutes subsequently the flames broke through the roof , wb , ich fell in with a fearful crash , which was no sooner done than tbe flames rose to a tremendous height , and could be distinctly seen for a great distance . It was soon evident to the most experienced firemen , that nothing could save Messrs . Moseley's promises ; they therefore endeavoured to their utmost to * prevent the fire spreading to several adjoining tenements . At half-past eight , one of the immense walls fell in , and for a minute - or two subdued the fire , bat it again bunt forth with increased inry , and it was not until a quarter before nine that the firemen bad the controul of the fire , when it was ) pretty clear that it would soon yield to the water which was being poured upon It :

      XNOTHKB FIBE . ; Shortly before twelve o ' clock , on Saturday nij , bt , the neighbourhood of Fore-street , Limebouee , was thrown into a state « f great excitement , -in consequence of a fire ,: which was not extinguished until property to a very serious amount was destroyed , breaking out on the premises belonging to Mr . Mills , situated at 3 No . 105 , ! Fore-street , Limehouse , nearly opposite Messrs . Blyth'a extensive steam boiler factory . The firat discovery was made by police constable Hutton , 60 K , who , in passing along hia beat , bad bis attention d-. rected to it by perceiving smoke issuing from the street door . Tbe officer immediately sprung Mb rattle ,

      Untitled Article

      and aroused the inmatefybut , by the time he had accomplished this , the back part of tbe first floor was one body of fire , which was fast descending the stairease , and it was with the utmost difficulty tbat tbe residents were rescue-i . By that time the fire bad broken through the walla of the adjoining house , belonging to M « . Martin , being No . 104 . The officer , immediately on discovering tbe fire , despatched messengers to the different engine stations . Several quickly arrived , and as soon as water conld be procured , the whole of the force was set to work ; but , notwithstanding the' indefatigable exertions of tbe firemen , the

      whole of Mr . Mills * premises were consumed , together with those adjoining belonging to the Wall ' s-end Company , and considerable damage done to Mr . Martin ' s premises , the Steam-boat public-house . By half-past one o'clock tbe firemen had perfecf , control of the fire , and no tortheir destruction of property took place . A strong body of police'of the K division , under the direction of Mr . Inspector May , were on the spot , and rendered essential service to the inhabitants by keeping back tbe immense crowd , and also in assisting them to remove their furniture . The origin of the fire is unknown .

      TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF BIBS S STEAM SAW-MILLS , GRAVEL-LANE . We are extremely sorry to have to record another most alarming and destructive fire , in which property to the amount of many thousand pounds was consumed . This fire broke out on Sunday , i n tbe i mmense range of premises belonging to Mr . Bird , the occupier of the well known steam saw mills and dock contractor , situate in Love-lane , Old Gravel-lane , Sbadwell . Tbe premises were about 150 yards in length , and nearly fifty li . depth , and of proportionate height , and were filled up with Bteam engines and tbe usual costly apparatus . The yard and adjacent outbuildings were stored with timber and other equally Inflammable commodities . The fire was firat discovered by police

      constable 382 E . at which time it was raging in the centra of the saw-mills . The officer ,--with , all possible speed / raised an ahum , and went to the adjacent premises , belonging to Mr . Kuight , soap and tallow melter , to apprise him of the imminent danger bis property was in . After some time he succeeded , but not before the flames bad reached the southern wall of his extensive factory , and it was only owing to the exertions of the police that the factory escaped total destruction . By this time the parish engine was on tbe spot , followed immediately by Mr . Connorton , with tbe West of England engine , who was succeeded by Mr . Braidwood , with as many engines as could fee spared from the fire at Limehouse . About half a dozen other engines of the brigade , and also tbe county engine , with Mr . Carter , next reached the scene of conflagration , when © ne

      of tbe most awful sights presented itself ; tbe entire range of buildings being one vivid sheet of fire , ascending to u considerrbl ' e height , causing large flakes of fire to fall on the tops of the adjoining and opposite houses . The yard of Mr . Bird being filled , with timber , as we have before stated , the fire travelled along the ground almost with the quickness of lightning , setting fire to Mr . Bird ' s private dwelling and several other bouses in Love-lane . The excitement that now ensued was painfully great : in one street wera to be seen numberless persons escaping witb What little property tbey could lay their hands on ; whilst in another street were to be seen the inmates rushing out of their habitations quite frantic , and almost in a state of sodity . Atfaalfpast three , an hour after the outbreak , Mr . Bird ' s premises , with the valuable contents , were totally destroyed , and numerous other buildings partly burnt down .

      FTRE IN GREAT GEORGE-STRFET AMD PaRLIA

      MENT-STBEET . About twenty minutes to three o ' clock on Sunday morning last , another most extensive and destructive fire broke out in tbe residence , of Mr . Villiera . surgeon , situate between Parliament-street and Kingstreet , opposite Westminster Abbey , which for upwards of an hour threatened tbe total destruction of tbe entire range of buildings in tbe vicinity . Tbe fire was discovered by two constables of the A and B divisions , it being the spot where their beats joined . Tbe first intimation which tbey received was from the sudden outbreat of a strong flare of light Issuing from a small bock room on tbe : first floor , accompanied by a dense smoke . The appearance Indloating the place to be on fire , the police proceeded to alarm tbe inmates , and

      they then started for the engines . At this juncture some females happened to come up , who continued without intermission to knock at the doors of the adjoining houses . Strange to say , tbe fltines ran through the houae as if a train had been laid down , and tbe entire building was enveloped in one mass of fire . At tbis time the utmost alarm prevailed , the inmates appearing at the ' windows , . calling loudly for help . Fortunately , tbey all nil succeeded in tffectiDg tbeir escape by the roofs of the adjoining bouses . At this period tbe scene was truly magnificent , the flames illuminating Westminster Abbey , tbe Ball , and tbe whole of the West end , tbe reflection causing the engines from Chandoa-street , King-street , Wall-Street , and the adjacent parts to arrive , as well as tbe

      parish ones of St . Margaret ' s and St John ' s ; but so strong a hold had the destructive element obtained , that for a length of time all chance of stopping its progress was abandoned , tbe flames burning lack wards , and in lesa than twenty minutes a cry was raised tbat the premises of Mr . Goldsmith , wine-merchant , Parliament-street , vrere in fiimea . The alarm waa too uptediiy confirmed by the fliraea bursting forth in an immense volume , and in less time than we have occupied in writ ng it , the entire bouse waa enveloped in one immense body of fire . At this period a plentiful supply Of Water ; was obtained , but neatly an hour elapsed before the slightest impression was visible , At length ,

      through the exertions of the firemen , aided by tbe police , the fire gave way , and by fonr o ' clock all danger was at an end . The house in which tbe fire originated is divided into tenements , the lower part being occapied by Miss May , the daughter of Superintendent May , who carries on the business of a milliner . The fire took an angular direction , leaving the extensive premises of Mr . Morris , the ironmonger , untouched , bat burning In a southward direction , the premises of Mr . Cuthbertson , the wax-chandler , were for a length of time in imminent danger . The damage done is estimated at about £ 5 , 000 , the whole of which will fall on tfae County Fire Office .

      Muri > eb of a Gamekeeper in Cheshiee . —We lament to have [ to place upon record another of those agrarian Crimea of the deepest dye , which have for some years disgraced this end of the county of Chester , in the lawless murder of Matthias Bailey , the gamekeeper Qf George Wilbtaham , Esq ., of Delamere House ,. near Northwich ; and under circumstances which aro likely to baffle the ingenuity of the most experienced of the police in deteotiDg the miscreants who haveperpetrated this horrible crime ; inasmuch as at present there exists notrttie slightest Cioe by the moana of which oven suspicion can attach to any one . Tho following are the leading facts of the case i—On Friday morning last , bet ween eight and nine o ' olock , a female named filary Yearsley , who resides at Crowton , near Weaverham , was proceeding up a place called Camomile-lane ,

      when f he observed the body of a man in the lane ; he was lying with the face down , so that she could not identify who it was : and she noticed that a considerable quantity of blood in a clotted state was close to the head , and which appeared to have flowed from -a wound in the neck ; the body appeared to be lifeless ' . She informdd some other persons of what Btae ha d seen , and it was identified as the body of Matthias { Bailey . He was without his coat , which was fouud in an adjoining cornfield ; and bis gun was fottnd in thtf same field , about fifty yards from his coat . Wbek the body was examined it was still warm , and from the position j it was evident that the unfortunate man had . been shot from behind , and had fallen forward . There was not the

      slightest indication that he bad had any conflict , as no marks of struggling were seen . It is conjectnred that when in the corn-field be may have become aware of some trespassers , and that he had pursued them ; as it ] was his habit , when he gave chase to any such parties , to throw his weapons down , and release himself as much as possible from the trammels of dress . Information of the dreadful event , was immediately conveyed * by a young maa named Thomas Minshull , to Mr . Wilbraham , whp , with Clement Swettenham , Esq ., and other magistrates , immediately proceeded to institute tbe most rigorous inquiry into the affair . It appears that on the preceding evening Bailey returned home from the bay-field , soon after seven o'clock , and went early

      to bed , telling bis wife that he intended' to get up early next morning , in order to get bold of " those fellows , " nieaning , no doubt , some persons suspected of poaohing . He arose between three and four o'clock ; and that was the last time his wife saw him alive , j The only incident that has yet come to light , previous to the finding of his body , rests on the testimony qf Thos . Piokering , a labouring man , re siding at Norley . It appears that , according to his accpunt , about 4 o ' clock he wen t to fetch his-cow out of the field , when he found that sbo had strayed into Moss-lane , I situated between Norley and Crowton . When he was in the lane he beard the report of a gun , and saw two men running towards Camomilelane , the last of whom bad no coat on , and appeared

      to he much ] larger in sizs than the other : One of the men called ] out , "It ' s yon , John ; " and be believes the voioe to have been that of Matthias Bailey . Under the directions of Mr . Baker ,, special high constable , five persons were apprehended , named John Blane , Samuel Blane , and also Duncalf and Wright . On Monday , an inquest was held on the body ,-at the Fox and Homds public-house , Crowton , before Henry Churton , Esq ., tbe coroner , and whion was attended by Mr . Wilbraham and several other parties . Evidence was given by the widow , Thomas Pickering , Mary Yearsley , and Thomas Minshull , to the facts above stated . Mr . Smith , surgeon , living at Acton-brike , who had made a post -mortem examination of the body , stated that

      tbe neck w as perforated by a large quantity of small irregular pieces of lead resembling shot , ten of which he extracted ; the intervertebral cartilages were penetrated , ond | alsothespinal marrow , by two ot the pieces of lead ; and he stated it to be bis opinion that tho latter named injury would be sufficient to cause death . It ( appears that about half a pound of shot had been found in the corn field before mentioned , being No . | 4 , mixed with dust ; but there was no correspondence between them and tbe shot extracted from tbe neck of tbe victim . No evidence . whatever was adduced against any of the parties in , custody , and they were consequently discharged . It did not

      appear probable that any further evidence could at present be ( attained ; and it being the opinion of the coroner , and also the magistrates in attendance , tbat no good result would accrue from adjourning the inquest , inasmuch as , if anything further transpires , the matter can be investigated before the magistrates , the jury returned a verdict . of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . " Bailey wass & stout athletic man , aged about forty J oars , and ! by bis death bis wife and four children ave been ( bereaved of their sole support . He was very generally respected by his employer , and also by all who' knew him . —Chester Chronicle .

It appears that the Rev . Francis Thomas , a benefited Clergyman , debauched'a Miss Caroline Williams , a lady of most respectable family in reduced circumstances . It is alleged that the reverend gentleman succeeded first by force , and it was proved that he promised marriage , and ] that a long intercourse and most characteristic correspondence followed , ending , as usual , in a heartless desertion . In one of his letters from Pembroke ; College , of which tbe reverend seducer was a fellow , he wrote to his victim

      thus—* ' I am sorry to hear you are ill ; you must try to get well and be hapyy . If I had the power to confer those blessings on you , I would say , be happy—and be so for ever .

      part of the way by a two-horse coach . The advice will be , most likely , to the following effect ~ : —If that woman annoys » ou , have her up instantly before the authorities , and bind her over to keep the peace .

I informed him that Miss Williams had charged him with l-ftving seduced her about nine or ten years ago .

      Mondat , August 7 . The Honee sat from from twelve o ' clock at noon fll hsJf-jjast one next morning , ' being thirteen hours and a halt They vrent through the Irish Poor Law Amendment BUI in committee , and advanced other measure * On the motion for going into committee of supply , Mr . Ewabt raised aJbrief debate on tbe great and important principles of fiee trade , being probably tne last opportunity en vfWch this Tital subject can be discassed in Parliament during the present year . His motion -was , that it was [ expedient that the principles advanced in the celebrated Import Duties Committee of 1846 should nctw be recognised in legislation , and at onoe applied [ as a remedy for the depression of commerce and the distress of the people . ! Mr . Milkeb Gibson followed , in a short speech .

      Mr . Gudstoisb referred to the thinness of the attendance , as evincing the exhaustion of the House and the inntillty of pressing such a debate as the present at this peried of the session . These important subjects could not be re-considered at this late season , even if it were fitting to disturb them at all , so soon after the great aetOeinenta of them which were made in the lastyeax . } Mr . H vhs said the motion was ' & very fair one . The public had begun to apprehend that Sir Robert Peel waa receding from the free trade principles professed by him a little -while ago ; and it became reasonable , tbfirefore , to call for a declaration from the Bight Bon . Baronet . !

      Mr , Bright said he was glad to be there as the representative of men with hard hands , for the rich had representatives enough . He had . been an active member of tbe Iieagne , because he believed that tbe abolition of the corn laws would be tbe abolition of all other monopolies . He scouted the word protection , which was intended for the property of the rich , not for the labour of the poor . The question was a rent question . Sorely the poor msii ' a property in his labour was as sacred as the rich man ' s in bis land , or even more acred . But the operative made a piece of flannel and sent it to America- —corn came back in exchange—and then you compelled him to pay a duty of 12 s . upon it in order that he might be driven to buy Mb com of the English landlord . Tbe general discontent at these things -was extreme , and tended to a spirit of insubordination . Look at Ireland , look at

      Wales—the landlords were the subjects of complaint in both those parts of the empire * and things were not much quieter in Scotland or in England . A body of pitmen had combined in the north to keep up prices * that might be absurd enongb , but was it worse than a combination of three hnndred gentlemen in tbat honse to keep np « ents ? Let the landlords recollect that they have an interest in the people ' s prosperity , and that the people will prosper by the introduction of food into fhe country . ' The H < mse divided * rejecting the motion . Tbe house having resolved itself into Committee of Supply , Sir 6 . Clebk moved a vote of £ 821 , 020 for the expenses of the war in Chins , stating ihs £ this sum was a debt dne to tbe East India Company . After some explanations the vote was passed .

      Sir G Clebk moved a vote of ; £ 25 , 300 for military services in Canada . ; Mr . Htjxe contended that the Canadians onght to bear their own expenses . If the local Government -wanted those troops let it pay for them ; if the troops were not wanted by that Government , let them not be charged upon the mother country . Lord Stahlet said there bad been a reduction of this estimate from £ 120 , 000 to £ 25 300 . Mr . Hvhe , proving obstinate , persisted to & division , on which be was defeated . Tho Committee next went into the miscellaneous estimates .
