      howerer , is the first case for a long period of years , in- i deed , of this description , which has bean brought before j tbe Court ; and we have no reason to belieTe that much , if any , impression has yet been made by the efforts of ; these indivMuals ; and we are "Wiling to regard it ia j tbe light of an attempt detected and defeated in dee ; time , as to which we may try the « ffect of the punish- ! ment , which I am now to announce , without afc prasent going farther , notwithstanding the aggravation of ' many of ths circumstances .

      : 1 this prosecnUon ; because , though ,, in his advertisement and address , this individual declares that be a-1 dresses himself chiefly to the woikinjr class&s of Scotland , yet 1 am sure tkat be deceives himself if he imagines that that is a class which ttouH easily part with their belief in those truths which are perhaps more valuable to them in this life than to any &ther class in ¦ the community . There may , indeed , be a class of ; persons , like ths prisoner at the bar , in situations ; above tie working classes , young men whose education is imperfect and their reading misdirected , and it is to } save them from the mischief that it is necessary the law should tnke its course . j His Lordship then addressed the prisoner .

But a Convention , assembled from the GifiVrv-nt counties , rrpeated the call , notwithstendicg my publicly expressed withes ; and finally 1 decided to obey it . You may recollect that , four years ago , I was beaten in this same district abxrat 770 votes . Three years Ego Mr . Van Buren was beaten hero about 1070 votts ; » nd two years ago tha Democratic candidate was beaten 1200 volt * . The prospect , therefore , was considered , even by my friends , gloomy enough ; especially as one of the most popular men of the Slate , wh « had formerly been spokes of for Governor , a man of nrblernished

We traversed the entire district ; had sixty-three public meetings , With audiences varying from 200 to 700 ; each speaking an hour and a half in advocacy of his political sentiments , par place of speaking was often nutier tbe bongUs of tbe aboriginal forest , to listeners mde in dress and appearance , but shrewd and intelligen : and attentive , stretched at their ease on the green sward before us .

      DESTBUCTiYE FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS . At tweDty minntes past eight o'clock , on Sunday nicht , & fire breke out on tho premise * of Messrs . Ogilvie and Field , manufacturers of cocoa not oiJ and puicDt candle manufacturers , situate in Pjjadise-street , Lambeth , formerly in the occupation of Messrs . Keen , ma ' . tsters . Long before any engine arrived , the flames had attained tuch an ascendi * rcy , that all hope of saving 'the premises was abandoned . S&v&ral engines were , however , on tfce spot within ten minutes from the first cntbrwtk of the fhmes , which were visible , notwith-Etoiidin ^ ths dt-nse fog , at the most distant parts of the metropolis .

Although a- continuous and powerful discharge of water was ttUB kept up , the ijmes spread witt uncontrollable rapidity to a range of small tenements in Norfolk-row , the entrance to whieh is from Church-street , facing the park-wall of Lambeth Palace . The terrified inhabitants—all poor

      working people—rushed into the street in dismay ; j wme dashed thw furniture from the winfiowB , othera abandoning it , gtid to escape with life . Within less tha . n half an hour , the roof of the factory fell is , and the fl . \ mes shot upward in a broad bright column , whilst at the * same time ths houses in Norfolkrow were being rapidly consumed .

      | which time it was considered that no farther danger could be apprehended . It is quite impossible to form any accurate calculation of the loss of property , but it must be very considerable . The oil factory , in which the fire originated ^ is wholly consamed . The building ia not lofty , but it extended npwarda of sixty yards in depth , and was from twenty to thirty wide . It consisted of a meltinghonsej refining house , and stores for the manufactured articles . There was a large stock of tallow , eil , turpentine , and cocoa nnta , on the premises , all highly combustible , and it was observed that as the water fell on the fatty matter the fiames shot np with increased fury .

It was shortly ascertained that the occupier of tho rosms was from home , and that no one was in , and the doors fastened . Adjoining tbe floor , as we understood ,

      there were three children in bed , and the utmost exertions were m ; . da to secure them . This was done with considerable difficulty , nnd the children tiktn into a pub'ic-hsuso opposite .

In less than twenty minutes the fury of the fl imc-s was checked , aad by half-past nic& : r . ll dormer was at nn end . Too d . imare done is cuiisider .-.

The house also io extensively burnt , and it is quits certain ' . hat rot less than £ 200 will cover the loss sustained by tho sevsral parties . Hcrw tbe fire ori 'icated is unknown .
