We direct public attention to the address of the North-West London Protestant Association for counteracting the principles of Popery. Our ob- servations last week, in closing the controversy be- tween the Hon. aBd Rev. George Spencer and the Rev. G. Ousely, are our warrant, as speaking the conviction of our minds, for the bold tone which we have.assumed on the subject. If Protestantism and its blessings be worth preserving we must buckle on our armour and plunge into the combat. The docu- ment is valuable as furnishing model for the esta- blishment of similar Protestant associations in ihose parts of the kingdom in which they are most needed. — Watchman. NEW LAMP.—There has been lately erecttd by the active and intelligent manager of the railway company, who has the merit of the discovery, at the head of the inclined plane in St. Leonard's de^ot, a lamp of a new and admirable construction, which describes a c rcle of light of about thirty feet in diameter, of the apparent intensity of sunshiny showing the objects within jig spliei-c as distinctly as those on the table of a camera obscura. The object which the manager had in view was to enable the engine-men to have a distinct view of the inclined ropes during night, and this has been fully attained. The !amp consists of an argand burner placed in the focus of a large spesolum of a peculiar form, by which the whole light is disturbed just on the space where it is required; it is computed that the light on the above space is equal to that of tweuty-five to thirty similar burners in common lamps. We are told Mr Raukine's name for it is the Conoidal lamp -probably because the light is thrown from it in the form of a cone. A lamp of this kind might, we have no doubt, be useful for other plii-poses it appears to us that the largest assembly room might i he brilliautly lighted by one placed at each end of the room, and one would be sufficient to light the 1 stage of a theatre. The cost of this one is said to I be about £ -20 hut we understand it saves an annual JfcfcrcM6 neaHy sura—Caledonian

PIRE AT FOSTON HALL. e Between one and two on Saturday morning, a fire broke out at the residence of Chas. Thorold Wood, Esq, Foston Hall, which raged impetuously in the principal part of the mansion, till nothing but the bare walls remained. The alarm was first given by a crackling near the sleeping room of the second son, who, waking, rushed instantly from the cham- ber, through the smoking corridors, and, at the risk of suffocation, continued ringing the great bell, by which some of the family were roused. Had not the Whole house been shortly in motion some lives would probably have fallen victims, so rapidly and widely had the flames spread. The parents, five of the family, and the domestics, succeeded in es- caping through the smoke to the lower part of the house, when it was discovered that the two younger sons were missing. All attemps to resell their room by the staircase proved fruitless. Someofthe family suggested saving them by a ladder, but destitute as they were at that moment of assistance, the room in which these two slept must have been consumed before the ladder could have been pro- cured. In the midst of this distressing consultation the family were re'ieved by the appearance among them of the two missing members. Their miracu- lous esclp was effected by the presence of mind of the younger brother, aged fourteen, who, suddenly waking, perceiving the room filled with smoke, and the flames bors'ing thrOIlh the door of the adjoin- ing room, roused his brother, and finding all other means of escape cut off, opened the window, and seized the sheets and a blanket, and keeping his head out of the window to enable him to breathe. tied and secured them to the bedpost. He instantly descended, and his brother followed him. In case of this plan failing, the elder brother had proposed as a last resource, to throw out the bedding and leap from the window. The cause of the tire has not been ascertained.—Abridged from the Derby Reporter.

jEntpmal jJarltamcnt. HOUSE OF LOPDS-TIIURSDAY. The Forest of Dean Bit!, the Surplus Fund Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Bi I were brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. ORANGE LODGES. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that he should on that day week move that a mes- sage be scotto the House of Commons for a report on Orange Lodges. The Noble Marquis said he wished for that opportunity of defending himself against the malignant calumnies that had been spread, of his being a party to a scheme to disturb the succession to the throne. He said the time wo-. come, when it was the duty of all Noble Lor^g to repel the slanders that were raised, fbr pa- ty pur_ poses, against every subject who loyally stood for ward in defence of the Constitmjou cf j^e coulUry. Hear, hear.) ECCLESIASTICAL REFORM BILL. The Bishop of EXETER presented ihree Petitions oil this subject. Oue ot fhrm, from some solicitors, said, that as far as their peisoiml interest went, they had no objection to the removal of these Courts to London, for it would increase their business, but they felt that it was not for the benefit of the county in which they resided.—Adjourned. "# HOUSE OF COMVIONS-THURSDAY. ABERDEEN SCHOOLS. Mr. BANNERMAN moved the second reading of the Aberdeen School Bill. Capt. GORDON opposed the motion. The Bill, a. an estate Bill, ought to have originated in the other House of Pat-liarnelit and it went to divert property from the purposes for which it was left in trust. Capt BANNER MAN entered into a detailed ac- count of the trust fund, in which it appeared that the fund was for keeping in repair the bridge over the river Don, and that a surplus ofXI8,000 had accumu- lated. The bridge, he said, %i as maiutaiued at an ex- pense of X300 a year, Mr. PPINGLE said the question was whether the appropriation was in accordance with the intention of the donor. Mr. CAMPBELL hoped the House would sanction the principle of iheBill. Sir G. CLERK opposed the Bill on the ground that it violated the principle of reserving trust money to the purpose for which it was intended. Mr. Wat ace, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Stuart Mac- kenzie supported the Bill. Lord SANDON said, the practice in England was, in appropriating surplus of trust funds, to act under guidance of the Court of Chancery. (" Y4"y, No.") According to arrangements of Hon. Gentle- men opposite, they might apply the surplus of a turnpike trust to a College. The House divided, when their appeared I For the second reading, 118 Against it 72 1 I- tsiMiUPRICK OF DURHAM —Lord J. Russell, in answer to a question irom an Hon. Member as to whether it was the intention of the Government, in any new appointment to the Bishoprick of Durham, to separate the ecclesiastical duties of the Bishop from those of the Custos llotulorum, said the subject was under consideration. ORANGE LODGES. Lord J. RUSSELL read the following most graci- ous answer from his Majesty to the Address of the House. { "WILUAM REX. I willingly assent to the prayer of my faithful Commons, that 1 will be pieased to take such mea- sures as shall seem advisable for the effectual dis- couragement of Orange Lodges, and generally of all Political Societies excluding persons of a different religious persuasion, using signs and symbols, and acting by means of associated Lodges. It is my firm intention to discourage all such Societies, and I rely with confidence upon the fidelity of my loyal sub- jects to support me in my detef-mi nation." PAPER DUTY. Lord F. EGERTON presented a Petition, signed by 70 gentlemen engaged in the Paper Manufacture, for a Reduction of the Duty. The Petitioners com- plained that the Duty at present was both exorbi- tant and oppressive, that it encouraged fraud, and was of serious injury to the fair trader; and while it caused a great defalcation in the revenue, that it contiihuted to retard the extension of liferature and the general diffusion of ktio, le,lge --(hear, hear, hear,)—that the mode in which the Duties were collected was at variance with the spirit in which the Act of Parliament was framed. The Noble Lord supported the prayer of the Petition in an able speech. The CHANCELLOR 'of the EXCHEQUER con- curred in the view so ably taken bv the Noble Lord. The subject was under the consideration of Govern- nient. He should make his financial statement at "aster. He hoped gentlemen who wished for a i-educiion in the Paper Duties, would he contpnt-tø wait until April, and he pledged himself that there would be a reduction in such branches as would est beiiefii the com,nut,ity at large. MALT DUTIKS. Mr WODEHOUSE gave notice that on Thursday he should ask the Right Hon. the Chancellor ofthe 1uer a question relative to the Malt Duties. (C?-es Of h,-ar, hear, he(ir.") ROEBUCK, gave notice that on the 5th of vi !C'' '1e Wou'd move an humble Address to his lajesiy t0 remove <he Chief Justice of ihe Mauritius 01 high crimes and misdemeanors, and on the 15th of March he would move an Address to his Majesty, piaying him to remove the Chief Commissioner of Lands in Lower Canada. „ TIMBER DUTIES. Mr GEO. F. YOUNG asked the Right Hon. Gen- t leman, the President of the Board of Trade, what was the illtelllion of Government on the subject of the Timber Duties. Mr P. THOMSON said he thought a measure would be introduced before the close of the present ~s'on to carry into effect some part, if not the whole, of t|le recommendation of the Select Com- liiittee, Mr. LYNCH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to extend the jurisdiction and regulate the proceedings ot the Civil Bill Courts in lr(-Iand -Also a Bill to icpeal so much of the Act (19th George II., c. 13, (Irish) as annuls and makes void all marriages cele- brated by any Popish Priest between Protestant and Catholic. On the -motion of Mr. HUME, a return was or- dered of the amount received for salary and as fees by cacn of the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, in addition to the fixed salaries of their several office*, during the time they held the great seal, aud under what authority the saire were paid stating, also, the amount of salary and fees from their other offices during that period. Mr. I>LA( KliURNE moved for a select committee to uiquire tuto the circumsiauces attcndiug the late election of the municipal council of Poole. The de- bate upon the motion was adjourned till Friday, after several divisions on the question of adjournment, which caused the House to sit till near your o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY. Earl Fei-rei-s took the Oaths and his seat. The Duke of CUMBERLAND took the opportu- nity of observing that, ill consequence of what had taken place elsewhere, having seen the Address to his Majesty, and his Majesty's gracious answer to it, he, aud those who acted with hirll, proceeding ac- cording to those piinciples which always had been the rule of their conduct, had felt that they ought to lose DO time in calling on the Oratigemen of Ireland to dissolve their Associations, and that the same steps would be taken with respect to the English body. Tiscount MELBOURNE expressed his great satisfaction at the declaration ofthe Illustrious Duke. It was no more, he said, than what he had expected from one holding his high station; and he hoped in consequence that it wou:d be unnecessary to adopt any measure whatever to carry the resolution of the House of Commons into effect. The House on rising adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Friday. Mr Ball, K.C. took the Oaths and his seat for Clonmcll. Mr MAXWELL announced that he had been directed by the Duke of Cumberland to inlorm the House, that iu consequence of, the opinion expressed by his Majesty ou the subject of Orange Lodges in his gracious answer to the Address of that House, his Royal Highness had, in concert with all the leading members of Orange Lodges of Ireland now in London, taken s!eps to recommend to all members of Orange Societies the dissolution of those associa- tions. H-e (Mr Maxwell) was also instructed to state, that his Royal Highness had also taken steps to dissolve the Orange Institution of Great Britain and the Colonies. Lord J. RUSSELL having expressed his satis- faction at what lit; had just heard, said that he h id felt it to be his duty to transmit copies of Ihe resolu. tion of the House and of his Majesty s Answer to his Royal Highness, and that he had received the fol. lowing reply :— « St. James's Palace, Kb. 26, 1830. "MY LORD-I have received your Lordship's letter, with the enclosed printed copies of the Reso- lutions of the House of Commons, containing an Address on the subject of Orange Lodges and other similar Societies, together with his Majesty s most gracious answer. Before I had received your I Lordship's communication, I had already taken steds, in conjunction w th several official and distinguished members of the loyal Orange Institution in Ireland, to recommend its immediate dissolution, in confor- mity with the loyal principles of that Institution. 1 have only to add, I shall take immediate st*" dissolve the loyal Orange Itistitutioii to Britain. 111 Great '• I have the har or to be. &c.

It was an interesting debate and Mr Ward, Mr O'Connell, Lord Mahon, Viscount Palmer- ston, Sir John Klley, Sir R. Pee^ and Sir J. C. Hobhouse spoke at considerable length. The papers moved for were granted. The debate on the Poole Election was a "a in de- ferred, and several Bills were read a first time. The House adjourned at half past twelve o'c'ock until Monday. .# HOUSE OF LORDS—ItloNr-w. Several Petitions were presented on subjects not of general importance. Lord DUNCANNON brought up the report of the Commission appointed to examine the plans for the Building of the New Houses of Parliament. The Noble Lord stated that he had directed the plans selected to be pi-aced in one of the Committee Rooms for the inspection ofthe House and of 1 he Committee of the House of Commons on the ranie subject. Some Bills were forwarded a sta"-e and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Mr P. THOMSON stated that the Committee on Railroads might be expected to present its report to-morrow (Tuesday.) A considerable time was then occupied in the presentation of Petitions connected with various Railroads, and some Railroad Bills were forwarded a stage. On the second reading of one of them being moved (the London and Gravesend) all amendment was pro- posed that it should be read a second time that day six months. Some discussion ensued, and the House divided, when the numbers were :— For the postponement 177 I Against it 63 The Bill was consequently lost. In answer to a question from Mr Hume, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was the intention ot Government to bring in, with reference to the see of Durham, a Bill founded on the report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, which might shortly be expected. The Bill would embrace the regulation of the revenues, aud tile separation oftheeivil from the episcopal duties, of the bishopric Mr C. WOOD, in reply to Mr Hutt, observed that the last of the ice-bound whale-ships had now been ascertained to have drifted out of the ice, and that it was not, therefore, intended to send ou: any other expedition than the one that had already sailed, under the command of Captain James Ross. On the request of Mr Sergeant JACKSON, who stated that he must unavoidably be absent on the day already fixed, Mr O'Conaell postponed till the 28th of March his motion relating to the Lay Asso- ciation in Ireland. Many petitions having been presented for and against the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill, Mr O'LOGHLIN (Attorney-General for Ireland) moved (he second reading of that Bill. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman entered into a variety of details, for which we refer to the abstract we else- where give of the proposed measure. In his man- ner of treating the subject there was nothing re- markable. Sir H, PEEL immediately succeeded, and, after an elaborate allalvsis of the hbtorv of Irish cornn rations, insisted, in opposition to a passage in the King's Speech, as well as to the assertions of Nll. O'LOGHLIN, that the Bill differed in many im portantpat-ticutars from the principle adopted in the Act for reforming the English municipal co.- porations. The Right Hon. Baronet then pro- cceded to announce what would, in his opiuioii, be a prefet-ikbie plan to that proposed by Ministers. He proposes to invest the Crown with the preroga- tive of nomination to the offices of Sheriffs and. Magistrates, instead of placing those important official appointments at the mercy of the Town Councils, or their leaders and guides. The mauae- ment of corporate estates the Right Hon. B iroriet proposes to commit to Commissioners, to be ap- pointed by the Crown, whose duty is to be of the same nature as that now discharged by the Com- missioners appointed under the Act of the 9ih Geo. IV. or, as they are commonly called in Ireland, "the Wide Street Commissioners." Another part of the plan of Sir R. Peel is to abolish ail the petty Courts in coqJOraliolls-such as Manorial Courts, Courts of Conscience, and the like-atid to transfer the jurisdiction of the whole ot them to the Courts of the Assistant Barristers, The Hjght Hun. llaronet con- cluded a speech of two hours and a half's duration with a burst of eloqucnce that produced the most powerful effect on tile HOllse. When he sat down the cheers continued for severalmiuutl's The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH EQUER rose for the purpose 0/ replying' to Sir It. P«.e|f -p0 S3y that he displayed considerable skill aud adroitness would only be to repeat what is generally thought of the Right Hon. Gentleman s Parliamentary style but in strength and soundness of argument he was no match for his antagoili-st the task was beyond his powers. Lord STANLEY followed. After an able exposure of the week, poiiits of Mr Spnng Rice^ speech, and of hi* inconsistency in off part of it which the Noble Lord proved by reading Kome 'former and rather recent opinions ot Mr Jtie's, his Lordship expressed his entire coucui rence iu the suggestions of Sir R. Peel. Mr SHEIL indulged in some brilliant, though not discourteous, personalities; but did not con- sider the present the fit occasion for going into the details of the q les IIon. Colonel Ck),N c ?LLY-IiortlYaLddressed the House, principally in vindication of one of the Corpora- tions attacked by the AttornLY-(;elie: al for Ireland. Colonel SIB ,I'L]OIZP said a few Wortjs againstthe measure. Lord J. RUSSELL then stated that the course Government intended to pursue was, to move, on Monday next, that the House should go into Com- mittee on the Bill; and, In answer to an inquiry by the Noble Lord, Sir K. PEEL announced that, when the former motion should have been made, he would move that it be an instruction to the COlIimittee to consider his plan as well as that embraced by the Bill. The Bill wa- then read a second time, and Mr BROTH EKTON having moved an adjonrn- ment, some formal business was disposed of and at half past twelve the House adjourned.

INDIA RUBBER CLOAKS. Machingtosh v. Elverington/or Infringement oj Patent. 0 0 0 For the defendant, Mr Green, the aeronaut, was examined. He stated that previous to the year 1823 he ascended often in a balloon, the silk of which he made air-tight by a dissolution of India rubber in umastic alld oil. No person knew of this prepara- tion except his son, who assisted him, and it was similar to that used by the p!aintiff in the combina- tion of his manufacture. Mr Green's son stated that his father had often t<ild him and showed himlhe preparatlOlI, which was similar 10 Ihat of the plaiutjtrs by which th hallooll was made air-tight aud impervious. The silk ot the Coronation balloon had been torn up aud made cloaks of, and when worn was found to be walei-proot. Evidence was given to show that cloaks had been. made in South America of a composition ot the luilk of hythea and ludia rubber, but they were found to be so offensive that they could not be worn, though they were water-proof. Patents obtained in 1797 and IS25 for a similar manufacture were put in. The Attorney-General replied at great length, and observed that il Green, the aeronaut, was aware ot 'he value of his composition, if he had any, why dId he not, instead of ballooning, tuin manufacturer of cloaks ? lie stated that he had been up ill hi, balloon 212 times.

The Act of Parliament passed last Session for the amendment of the Act passed the previous Session respecting weights and measures, is found to be such a bungling piece of legislation, that the inspectors are quite at a loss how to interpret it, particularly the clauses respecting what kind of weights are to be stamped. It is expected that another bill must immediately be brought in to explain the lbriner.-Chestbi- Courant.

ACCIDENTS IN COAL PITS.'—ON Tuesday last an inquest was held at the Fitzwilliam Arms, near New Park Gate Works, Itotherhani, before Mr. Badger, coroner,on view of the body of David Utley, who was unfortunately killed by a drug, containing many corves of coal, passing over and nearly cut- ting off both his thighs, on the railroad at the bottom of the Basset Pit there. It appeared that the deceased had been cautioned not to ride on the drug, but he persisted" in doing so, aud was thrown off in consequence of the rapidity with which the carriages pass on the railway. Verdict, 44 Accidental death,Un the same day another inquest was held at Hansdworth, on view of the body of Samuel Gill, a collier, working at the pits at Ogreave. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased had been setting a blast at the bottom of the pit, and he re- quested his fellow-workmen to draw him out as qliick as po-isible olit of the wikv of the blast and in so doing tll,, COI'VLI was drawn up rapidly éJgainst the pulley-wheel, and poor Gill was thrown head- -long to the bottom of the pit, (upwards of eighty yards deep,) and pitching upon his head, extin guished the light affixed to the blast, and was killed on the spot. Verdict, "Accidental de acli," -Sheffield Iris. HORRIBLE DEATH-—On Thursday se'nniglit. Robert Hutchinson, a coal.miner and well-sinker, known in the neigh! ourhoods of Middleton and known in the neigh! ourhoods of Middleton and Blackley by the name of Rough Robin," was sink- ing a well for Messrs. Moult and Holden, of Cheet- wood, and was so imprudent as to cut into a layer of sand the depth of eight or nine feet without putting in a drum or stay to support the earth. The upper part of the shaft was bricked, the bricks being SUH- pemb-d on a ring as usual, but the depth above mentioned he had sunk without supporting the earth. His son, a youth about sixteen, and another person, were waiting upon him at the head stocks; the lad saw the earth was giving way, afid said Father, its coming j'* the father, looking up, said "Take care of thyself," and ejaculating "Oh dear !'• the earth fell, and he was buried ative. A messenger had been despatched to Messrs Livesey and Co. of Alkrington Colliery, requesting such assistant e all their men could afford, and a number of the most skilful atid daring of their hands were selected and sent off without delay. They worked on unremit- ungly until about two o'clock on Friday afternoon, (twenty-three hours after the accident) when the poor fellow's hat was Keen, and about three he was brought out quite dead. It was evident that he had hved a considerable time after the earth closed upon him: the sand around him was wet but that about his'mouth was as dry as if it had been scorched by the «UD,

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. SKVEN PERSONS ART-,S OF TIIIR- TEEN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. (From a Second Edition of the Lit-erpool Standard, of Tuesday, March 2.) This morning, about half-past six o'clock, a most dreadful accident occurred in Thomas-street, Pool- lane, in this town, which has occasioned the toss of the lives of no less than seven persons, and the serious injury of thirteen others, several of whom are not expected to recover. The house situated at 'he corner of Thomas-street, which was tenanted by a person of the name of James Carline, who sold groceries, bread, &c. in the shop to the front of it, and let the upper and adjoining rooms to lodgers, chiefly poor Irishmen and their fami'ies, was the scene of this melancholy accident. Infor- mation was given at the Police-office at the time above stated by one of the dock police that the building had fallen down, and buried upwards of SO persons in the ruins. Upon going to the spot, the building presented a mass of ruins. Several of the uniortunate inmates were crying in the most piteous manner for assistance, while the cries of the relatives of those of them whom it was t >0 certain were lying dead upon the spot buried in the ruins, were heart-rending beyond description. Several of the persons who had lodged in the house last night, had only arrived from Ireland yesterday, and were on their way to America and New South Wales. How many of them have been killed we have not been able to learn, but from what we can gather from one or two of the men wh" escaped without injury, four out of the seven kilTed were about to emigrate, and had recently came to Liver- pool for that purpose. Anthony Carline, a boy about 13 years of age, son of the landlord, lies dead in a house opposite to the ruins he slept in the garret of the house. His father escaped without any serious injury; but his mother has been conveyed to the Infirmary. A poor woman, wife of one of the lodgers, fortunately, as it has happened, quarrelled with her husband last night, when she left the house with one of her children, to which she, no doubt, owes the preser- vation of her own life and that of her child. James Healey, a tailor, who had lived some time in the house, lies dead in the same room as the boy Carline. James Stockman, a labouring man, about 35 years of age, lies in the Northern Hospital. He has re- ceived a severe wound on the back part of his head, and is otherwise seriously imured in his hank and limbs. A labouring man, named Summerfield, and his wife 'lie ii I he stine house dead, together with another man, ot the name of Owen Conlan, who was employed in the docks as a ship scraper. ,Nlicliael N]INatigiltoll, who occupied the cellar un- derneath the building, together with his wife and four children, have all been providentially saved. The escape of M'Naughton and his family has Been most miraculous. They, it appears, had all slept at the upper part of the cellar, and on the house falling, the floor of the kitchen fell entire, in a standing position, one side of the floor being sup- ported by the rafters against the wall at its original elevation, the other end of the rafters on the side of the house which tell out, resting on the ground. On removing the rubbish from one end of this, the whole of the six, along with two pigs, walkedout uninjured. One of the inmates of the opposite house was looking out ot his window at the time the accident occurred, and saw the outer wall crack outwards towards SOIlh John Street. Immediately afterwards a sailor, in the falling building, the one who had quarrelled with his wife, rushed to the window, burstopen the sash, and threw himself I n" out, clinging only by his hands pi-eviolisly to jump- ing down, when at the same moment the corner of the house fell with him, and buried him underneath —an instant longer and he wuuld have been saved. Under one of the bedstocks, which supports a quantity of rubbish, are two pigs, which appear unhurt. The scene of the ruin itself baffles description. Beds, old tables, old clothing, tea trays, and hats, all mixed up with rnbbisn. Quite in a corner, at the upper side of the ruin, is a part which has not (alien in, and (he- pots, tea-cups, and candlesticks arranged in a closet in this corner present a strange appearance to the confusion and ruin around. The sight in the house opposite, where the,bodies have been conveyed to, is most shocking. Four lie dead on the floor, and on a chair is the boy C ariine, covered only by a few scanty rags, besmeared with blood and rubbish and in a house next door lies the body of the sailor, with his wife and c'rild weeping over it—the sight is most heartrending. We trust something will be done for the siirviving relatives, who appear to be in the last stage of destitution. The accoun's as to the exact number in the house at the time of the accident vary extremelv 26 have been found. -J but rumour says there were between 35 and 36. Nine of the sufferers were conveyed to the Infir- mary and one to the Northern Hospital, and three others to private houses. At the Infirmary there are five men, four women, and two children. The names ofthe sufferers are, Mercy Le Joice, having a severe contusion on the back j Mary Martin hav- ing a severe contusion on the left hip, and 'gene- rally much bruised; Bridget Carline, the landlady of the house, severelv bruised on the hip and general contusion; lfrid,et O'llar, the upper part of the left ai-in, and generally much contused, particulaily about the body. She is not expected to recover. Two chlidren of Le Joice s were not much bruised. The men's names are John Scurs- held, James Manin, William Gill, William Bond, and atrick M'Ardle, all of whom are generally brut-ea about the limbs and body, but not seriously so. i roui the statelllent of one of the sufferers, it appeals that the house fell at once without the s ig itest warning as the majority of them were getting up. The cause of the falling of the building has not yet been ascertained. It is, however, supposed t lat the foundation of the lioti,e had been somewhat undermined by soiiie di,ging w liieh was going for- ward immediately adjacent to the ruins.

BREACH IN rHE BANKS ()F THE GREAT HIVER OUZE, NEAR LYNN, NORFOLK. 1'h"" IIth1o. -1. 4'- consternation pievans mine ncigu- outhood (,f Lynn, in consequence of a breach in the eastern bank of the great river Ouze, which conveys t it highland waters of the counties ol Huntingdon, Cambridge, Bedford, and Buckingham, as we|| ;,s the waters of the largest portion of the Bedford Level, to sea, by the port of Lynn. This frightful catastrophe Wag occasij0i,c() hy 'be late violent gulp accompanied by an unusually high tide. The breach is situate in the parish of Magdalen it took place early on Thursday morning, the 18th ult. and has caused the most werious the safety ot many thousand acres of fertile laud being dependellt upon the security 0f the banks of this river at 4 o clock p.m. on that morning the extent of the bnach through which the water was then rushing was not less than 140 yards,- or rather two breaches of 70 yards each. In some' parts of the hank wha« are called slips iulve lake|, place, which is the to^> only of the bank giving w iy, and the water rUIl' ning over into the adjoining lands; but in other parts the bank itself is supposed to be washed away to the bottom of the river. It has bcen dltticult as yet to obtain accurate information, particularly at so early a period after this calamitous event. The, tide rose nearly three feet higher than at the time of the late March gale. It has partially overflowed Ihe hanks near to Denver Sluice, particularly into Air Gamble's farm, a great part of which is inun- dated. The flood also reached the top of the new bank below the sluice. From a slight variation in the wind, the water was not so high on Friday and Saturday alid great hopes were entertained that the flood would be prevented coming up higher than a spot called Bells Bank. A strong current of water from ihe gull or breach in the hank ran across the turnpike-road at Seteh, between Lynn and Dowuhain-market, in1 ihe direction of VVormgay. The gTcatest consternation pievailed in the neigh- bourhood. The state of lhe.se banks has been for sometime the source of liliatioll ill the Courts of West minster-hall, and his likely to be the subject of investigation. The houses near the quays and the principal streets of Lynn were ('om[)etelt' inun- dated, so that boals W(,l'e :n requisition as far as the market-place to assist the inhabitants to escape the threaieuingr danger. Towards 8 o'clock, however, the tide receded, and we have not heard of any loss of life here, although we hourly expect heavy tidings from the coast, the wind blowing direct 011 the Norfolk shore. At a place called the Magdalen, near Lynu, the tide rose so rapidly that the adjoin- ing meadows were completely uujer water before the farmers could remove UK. stock and hl coa8C_ quence 1,700 sheep perished; while between Down- ham and Lynn, 0.1 the London-road, more than 4,000 acres of laud are now under water, the banks of the river aviug g. ven wayj and the loss of cattle and fanning implements^ said to be very gre'at,
