DREADFUL CONFLAGRATIONS AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday night, at a few minutes past nine o'clock, a dense mass of smoke was observed to issue through the shutters in the rope-warehouse of Mr. Seymour, Pudding-lane, Thames-street, at the rear of the Monument, by the police- man on duty, who gave instant alarm, and in a few minutes two parish engines arrived, and immediately set to work. Several of the tire-brigade engines also were prompt in at-, tendance, and hy great exertions the flames were prevented from extending to the adjoining houses, and in the course of; an hour the fire was entireiy subdued. The damage is con- siderahle. A destructive fire broke out on Saturday morning, at two o'clock, in the extensive oil and colour-warehouse of Air. Ward, Tooley-street, which immediately communicated to IVlessrs. Loftus's alum-warehoine, and to Topping's Wharf, and as the contents of these buildings consisted of inflammable mate- rials, such as oil, turps, saltpetre, pitch, tar, sulphur, &c., the flames spread with terrific fury. Numerous engines promptly arrived, but for some time there was a great scarcity of water. At twenty minutes past two, the roof of Mr. Ward's premises fell in, Mr. Braidwood having sent for two large floating-engines, they were immediately set in operation, being manned by 200 p-rsons and the water beginning to freely from the fire-plugs, the engines were enabled to pour large volumes on the flames; notwithstanding which, by half-past four, Witsou's Telegraph had ignited, and in twenty minutes was completely consumed. The flames next took a westerly direction, and set fire to the helfryof St. Olave's Church, and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the brigade, the fury of the Hames could not be suppressed, and in twenty minutes the organ-loft was one sheet of flame, which descended rapidly into the galleries and aisles, all of which were soon blazing furiously. At this moment, the! whole of the front wall of Mr. Topping's warehouses fell for- ward into tne street, and the firemen with great difficulty escaped from being buried in the ruins. To add to the cala- mity, several vessels moored under Mr. Topoing's premises, caught fire, which increased the fears of the firemen as to the subduiug the conflagration. At five o'clock, the whole of Topping's warehouses attached to his wharf, the Church, and numerous other buildings were consumed. The fire, how- ever, still continued to rage in the Northern end of Mr. Ward's premises and among the shipping. The firemen, therefore, directed the branches of their engines to stop its ravages in this direction, but failed, and in a short time the premises of Messrs. Brothers, lead-merchants, opposite Mr. Topping's, caught the flames: happily, however, by dint of extraordinary exertions, the firemen were enabled to stop the fire at this spot, and thus save the pile of warehouses adjoining, in which pro- perty to the amount of 200,000i. was deposited. By SIX 0 clock all danger was dissipated, and no further destruction of pro- perty took place. No person received any personal injury. The vessels which were partly destroyed were, the Czar of Weymouth, laden with spirits, sugar, &c" but which fortu- nately had beenre.shipped into other vessels; the Fleece of Exeter, and the Cornwall of Truro. Among those most active in giving directions werp. thl" Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Pilcher, Mr. Churchwarden Bloyd, &t. The crowd of persons who flocked from every direction to the scene of Ihe conflagration immediately after its commpncement is beyond all description, and large assenublajes also crowded London Bridge and the opposite bank ot the River. Throughout Saturday every spot whence a view of the ruins could be obtained was thronged, persons of all classes exhibit- ing the greatest anxiety to learn the particulars. No one, however, hut those connected wjth property destroyed, or with the Fire-offices, was permitted to pass the harriers. The ruins continued during the day to emit large bodies of smoke and flame, and the float as well as land engines continued pouring a stream of water on the ruins until a late hour. The loss sustained at Mr. Ward's is estimated at Messrs. Scovell's (Topping's Wharf), 20,000/ and the other buildings, shipping, &c., at nearly 20,000l. more. St. Olave's Church is almost totally destroyed, no portion of the sacred edifice remaining but the walls and the pews in the body of the Church, which are all greatly damaged, as well as burned, by the falling of the blazing timbers which composed the roof. The interior of the tower, which contained the clock, &c., has been entirely consumed, and the remains of the massive bells are now lying in the porch of the Church underneath in broken pieces. Fortunately all the sacramental plate and other parochial muniments and records, through the exertions of Bloyd, were preserved. SINGULAR MARRIAGES IN ST. OLAVE'S DURING THE FIRE. —Singular to relate, it is a fact that while the galleries were still burning, the engines pouring streams of water, and the burning timber falling about in all directions, the sacred rite of matrimony was, about ten o'clock, solemnised by the Rev. Mr. Kenney, the Vicar, and the hands of two couples were joined together under the cupola of the chancel, which was still standing. The bridegroom, in the first instance, was a gentleman about sixty years of age. and the bride about thirty, while the second couple were both about twenty years of age. Their singular situation on so important an epoch of their lives, did not, however appear to diminish the pleasure of the event, and both couples retired amid the cheers of the spectators ———— Whilst the above destructive fire was raging in Tooley- street, and the blazing embers falling literally in showers in the High-street, alai ge piece of ignited timber was seen to fall into the chimney of Mr. R. Jones, grocer and tea dealer. An alarm was promptly given, but the family could not be roused before the shop was observed on fire. An engine from the South'wark Bridge station was sent for, and the frnnt-door being forced, it was discovered that the fire had caught several bags of frnit and fifty sugar-loaves at the rear of the shop, and was spreading rapidly. The water being plentiful, the flames were speedily extinguished, but not before considerable damage was done to the stock. At about four o'clock the same morning, the neighbourhood was thrown into indescribable excitement by an awful foX. plosion taking places on the premises of Mr. Newberry, manufacturing chemist, Fetter-lane, and in an instant the front of the premises was one sheet of fire indeed, every pait not on fire was blown high into the air, forcin il1 the windows of the opposite and adjoining bonses. Mr. New- berry threw himself from the second floor window: he was I picked np by a policeman, and conveyed to Bartholomew's Hospital, where he immediately expired. Mr. Rose, who lodged in the house, was blown across the street, and on being conveyed to the same Institution he breathed his last. The bouse was levelled with the ground and after a great body of water had been poured on the ruins, which had the effect of cooling them, the firemen proceeded to examine if any other person had perished, and soon discovered the lifeless bodies of Mrs. Rose and her two sisters, Miss and Miss Eliza M'Crendle, which were conveyed to the premises of Messrs. Compford and Falkner, undertakers, Bartlett's Passage. Fortunately Mr. Newberry's assistant was absent. The party-wall was considerably damaged, and an immense number of windows broken in the surrounding houses. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. At ser n o'clock in the evening, an inquest was held on the bodies of the sufferers in Bartholomew's Hospital. The Jury first viewed those in the Hospital, and afterwards those at the undertakers. The first witness was policeman George Walton, who de- posed, that about four o'clock that morning he heard a loud explosion, followed by a second, an I on looking up saw that the roof was blown off; Mr. Newberry then got outside the window, and made a spring towards witness, who tried to break his fall, but he fell with his head on the pavement; saw two other persons on the third floor frying to escape; ran to the side-door to see if the e was any escape for them, but was attacked hy a shower of rockets; the explosions were still going on. M r. Newberry was a practical chemist; Mr. Rose was head clerk in the Registrar's Office of the Law Society in Chancery-lane; witness helped to cany both to the hospital; went back to inquire about Mrs. Rose, but could learn nothing of her: including the small ones, the explosions lasted five minutes: passed the house about ten minutes before the catastrophe, but saw no appearance of fire: saw a light in the second floor shortly after two o'clock, bnt it was put out about ten minutes afterwards. Abraham Wilson, assistant to Mr. Newberry, deposed, that deceased was a chemist, not a surgeon, and about thirty years of age he and Mr. and Mrs. Rose, and Miss M'Cren- die slept in the honse; Miss Eliza M'Crendle slept that night in a back attic; no servant had slept in the house lately. Witness left last night at a quarter past eleven with Mr. Newberry, who went to Mr. Scott's, surgeon, Bouverie- street; did not see him after that; he had seen the five bodies, bnt could only identify those of Mr. Newberry and Mr. Rose: could not say how the explosion occurred; it might have been caused by a bottle containing two ounces of fulminating mercury falling ou the floor and igniting; theie were several cats in the house, and one of them might have knocked down the phial, and the friction would have at once ignited the mercury. The premises were examined every night from fear of accidents. There was no confined gas that could have caused the explosion. There was about 2 cwt. of gunpowder on the premises. Other witnesses deposed to seeing Mr. Newberry and Mr. and Mrs. Rose at the window of the second and third stories, and that the two former fell into the Street, and 1\lrs. Rose back into the flames: Mr. Newberry's shirt was on fire at the time he attempted to escape. Other witnesses had fre- quently heard Mr. and Mrs. Rose express fears at residing in a house where there were so many combustible materials. Henry Scoit, surgeon, Bonverie.stteet, deposed, that he had known Mr. Newberry for five years; he visited witness shortly after eleven o'clock the preceding night,and remained till about two o'clock he was quite sober when he left attributed the exploion to the failing of a bottle containing the fulminating mercury, which was very likely caused by one of the three cats which Mr. Newberry kept in the house. The catastrophe at Apothecaries' Hall a short time ago was to be ascribed to the ignition of fulminating mercury. Mr. E. Lucas, house-surgeon, proved that Mr. Newberry's death was caused by a severely fractured skull, and that of Mr. Rose from the spine of his back being broken and severe injuries on the he id. Mr. R. Faulkner said, he was present when the three bodies were found in the mins of Mr. Newberry's honse; that of Mrs. Rose was found in the upper part of the ruins, and the otlieis tying under the bed on which they had been sleeping, and had turned over in the fall, the bed having fallen through with them they were cbsped in each others' arms, and were so much burnt that they could not be identified. The Coroner remarked, that as far as the evidence had gone, it appeared that no direct light had been thrown upon the origin of the explosion; it was merely surmised that it was occasioned by the fulminating mercury on the premises: it was therefore for the Jury to say, whether they wished to adjourn for further inquiry,or whether they would come to a decision at once.—The Jiuy consulted for about ten minutes, and then returned a verdict, that the deceased's deaths were occasioned by an accidental explosion." On Monday morning at half-past two o'clock, a fire broke out in No. 16, Cambridge-street, Edgware-road, which was totally destroyed. The flames communicated to the adjoin. ing house, occupied by Mr. Stephenson, the Railway En- J gineer, and threatened destruction to other houses; but by .dint of extraordinary exertions of the firemen, it was got Slider by four o'clock, the damage being confined to the upper portion.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDA Y, AUG. 21.-Their Lordships met at five o'clock; when the Marquis Clanricarde withdrew his motion relative to Scinde, promising to draw attention to the subject next session. APPEALS.—On the motion of Lord Brougham, returns were ordered of the state of the appeal business in the House of Lords and ilie Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Some con- versation took place, in which Lord Brougham highly eulogised the government for the progress they had madE" in law reform, and some sarcastic remarks were made [IY fir(i Campbell, on there being a ret deal said about very small matter. The Government had failed in passing any measure of imporlallce- Lord ti-oiiflhttiii, in r. joirlller, said there were three important nieusmes whic h the Government hart done all in its power 10 liaie passed into laws. Thees werc'the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, the County Courts Bill, and the Factory Bill with its educational clauses. lIe clepbrei the fate of those measures, but they must not forget to what cause it was owing that these nieastir s were oligcd 10 be abandoned. It was much to be regrelled that the I delay of five or six weeks during which a single measure was kept before the other House, rendered it necessary that these three bills should he postponed until next session.— Lord Campbell said, as to the discussions on the Irish Ariiis Bill, which his noble and learned friend spoke of as having in the other House occasioned the loss of tlie three bills to which he referred, lie (Lord Camp- bell ) begged to express his decided opinion that those honourable i>l embers who opposed Ihe obnoxious elauses of thai bill so lirml v were deserving of great praise —(hear, hear). And most assur- edly, whatever the late of the divisions, the honourable gentlemen had been successful in their object to a verv great extent. Nine clauses were wholly withdrawn from the bill by the Government very material modifications of others consented to, and the bill was passed for only two years, instead of for a much longer period — (hear).—Lord Monteagle said that the Factories' Bill would have failed, if the Irish Arms Bill hud never been heard of—(hear, hear). The educational clauses oflhat bill fell before the opposition of great masses of the people. The Ecclesiastical 1 Courts Bill had also been withdrawn by the Government and attempt had been made to change its nature, but in the end it was withdrawn, and withdrawn bv Government. — Lord Brougham denied that there was any opposition to the Factories' Bill on the part of life great mass of the people, though it was true that certain Dissenters were much opposed to it.-Lord Monteagle.— At all even's there we e two millions of signatures and more against it.—The conversation then dropped. LORD LUNCAN'S CASE.— Lord Wharncliffe and the Lord Chancellor expressing their conviction that Sir E. Sugden was entirely justified in removing Lord Lucan from the commission of the peace in Ireland, the Marquess of Clanricarde thought the tia" y expression which was alleged as the ground of the Noble Lord's dismissal had been too severely visited, and that the conduct of the stipendiary who presided should have been inquired into.—Lord Lucan warmly accused Lcrd Wharncliffe of trickery in fit- conduct of the discussions before the House, and Lord Wharncliffe as warmly vindicated himself.— Lord Brougham and Lord Campbell concurred in imputing nothing more than an error of judgment to the- Irish Chancellor.— l'he Duke of Wel. lington, having examined the papers on which the charge against Lord Lucan was founded, bote testimony to the great amount of provocation which he had endured before he committed the con- tempt of court which had been punished by his dismissal. He vindicated, however, Sir E. Sugden's decision, and especially the spirit of impartiality in which he had removed from the com- mission not only Lord Lucan, but the magistrate with whom the squabble originated.— Lord Glengall highly disapproved the con- duct of the Irish Chancellor, hot after a few words from one or two other Noble Lords, the matter dropped. The Chelsea Out-Pensioners' Bill was reported and ordered to be read a ihird time the next day.—The Irish Poor-law Bill was read a third time and passed, and was also the Customs Bill.- Several other bills were forwarded, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY, AUG. 22.-The House met at four o'clock, when the Royal itse 111 was given by Commission to a multitude of public and private bills. DEFAMATION AND LIBEt. BILL.—Lord Campbell, in moving the consideration of the Commons' amendments Oil this bill, lamented the mutilation it had suffered, and cited a number of instances to show the injustice of adhering, as the Lower House had done, to the old rule of common law, which denied redress for any spoken scandal, unless it iinpnted an indictable offence or tended to injure a man in his profession.—The Lord Chancellor vindicated Ihe discretion of the House of Commons in the changes thev had made, and the amendments were then agreed to THE POOR LAW.— Lord Teynhum afterwards moved for certain returns afreclilt the administration of the Poor Law, with the view principally of procoring for the poor art extension of out door relief, but partly also that he might procure the appointment of a committee to inquire into the operation of the act.-Lord Stanhope objected not only to the cruelly and injustice of the law, but to its principle, and on behalf of ihe oppressed poor demanded its repeal. That result would one day be obtained and if it was not conceded by Parliament, it would be achieved bv the people. — Lord Wharncliffe had no objectiolt to the retivrns the motion was, therefore, agreed to, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, AUG. 21.—TUeSpeaker took the chair at twelve o'clock when, on the motion of Sir T. Freemantle, a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a Member for the county of Argyle, in the room of Alexander Campbell, Esq., who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. SLAVE TRADE SUPPRESSION Bin..—The Hone having gone into committee for further consideration of the report of this bill, Sir T. Wilde proposed certain amendments to meet the objections of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals as to certain clauses of the bill on Friday last.-After some conversation they were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third lime the next day. RECEPTION OF ESPAKTERO IN ENGLAND.—Mr. Borthwick begged to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet at UW head of the Government, relative to a matter upon which i4was of some importance that the opinion of the Government should be made public. It was known that Espartero had arrived on the coast of England, and he (Mr. Borthwick) was desirous of being informed in what character her Majesty's Government intended to receive him, whether as a person or distinction in distress, or, as !lOllle supposed in an official form, as the Regent or Spain.— Sir R. Peel said, he was nnlprepued to answer the Hon. Gentle- man's question. Espartero had arrived in this country saddenly and unexpectedly. He apprehended there could be no doubt that according to the law and institutions of Spain, Espartero was dejure Regent of Spain. There could be no question, either, that lie did not now, de facto, exercise the functions and power of Regent. All lie could state was, that the Hon. Gentlemen might depend upon it that Espartero would be received in this country with the respect which was due 10 his high character, and wilh the sympathy which was due to his unmerited misfortune. He would lake that opportunity of slating that no disposition what- ever had been shuwn in the transactions between Spain ind this country to depart from that high lone which the Spanish Govern- ment ought to adopt in its intercourse with other nations. There had been no one single act done by Espartero in conducting the diplomatic relations of Spain with this country at variance with that paramount duty which he owed to his own. He did not believe the reins of power had ever been placed in the hands of one who entertained a more sincere desire for the independance of his country. The accusations against this country of having interfered wish the domestic Government of Spain were alike wilhout foundation. The charges and accusations against this country, and against Espartero, had been made use of for the purpose of promoting insurrection in the armv, and the infidelity of those military authorities upon whom Espartero had a right to depend for fidelity, was he main cause of the misfortune in which lie was at present involved. Haxing slated that he was dejure Regent of Spain, although de facto power had passed from his hands, lie was sure the Hon. Gentleman would not call upon him to state what course the government would consider it proper to lake wilh reference to his reception in this country.— Mr. Hindley begged to ask tlte RIRht Hon. Baronet whether it was true that the Government of this country had demanded a conference with the other Four Powers relative to the affairs of Spain, and that the conference had been refused? Sir R, pre| replied — No. The House then adjourned at two o'clock, till four the next day. TUESDAY, AtG. 22.-The Slave Trade Suppression Bill was read a third time and passed, after a few observations from different members.—Several bills were agreed to without remark, and the House then adjourned to Thursday.

As her Majesty has ere this prorogued Parliament, it may not be uninteresting to conjecture the character of the speech which she has been advised to deliver from the Throne. Thanks have, of course, been given to the Parliament for its six months' attention to the affairs of the nation, and for its unsuccessful endeavours to improve the administration of the !aiv, to extend the benefits of education, and to carry other measures of general benefit. As regards foreign affairs, herMajesty, as usual, continues to receive assurances of amity from all Continental powers. There can, however, b« no expression of opinion upon commercial treaties with other countries, as the Premier admits that past ex- periments have not been encouraging. With respect to Scintle, can its conquest be a subject of congratula- tion ? We do not know lJOIV Government excuses its interference with that country. We have not been told whether the Ameers of Scinde were found in- triguing against the British power and if they were lIot, it is difficult to understand how the war can be justified, as it is quite contrary to Lord Ellenborough's own proclamation, who declared that theIndianGovern- ment did not intend to carry its conquests beyond the In dus. Again, the state of our commercial relations with the United States and the Brazils, cannot be deemed satisfactory, inasmuch as the decrease of our exports to those two great markets is upwards of 3,OO,),OOOl Then, as to the state of otir manufactures, although Sir R. Peel may have lately talked about indications of improvement in two or three branches of manufacturing industry, still we do not think he has been bold enough to persuade her AJajesty to speak of the restoration of that most important cause of the wealth aud greatness of these realms. In reference to the domestic state of the country, the speech can only contain expressions of deep regret; for seldom has Parliament been prorogued, when two diflerent sections of the country have borne so gloomy an aspect. Wales and Ireland are in a most unsettled and disturbed condition. Disturbances prevail in one country in consequence of local grievances, and excitement reigns in the other, in consequence of political disaffection
