OnTuesday morning , about a quarter-past six o ' clock , a most destructive fire broke out in Widegat « -allcT , BiBbiopsgate-Etreet Withont , the result of whieh , -we regret to add , has been the loss of eight lives . The fire Tras first discovered . bursting forth from the back of No . 10 , on the south side of ( he alley . A female -was observed to throw herself from the first floor ^ window . She was picked up appa ^ rently dead , and conveyed to a neighbouring house . The police endeavoured to force their way Into the house for the purpose of tLScertaumigTf there were any other inmates , but were unable to do so , or give any information , in consequence of the rapid increase rfthe fire . , P ?? J 2 ? ?? HJ ^ ^ VJP ^ EIGHT
Before the engines conld be got into play the fiames . nad extended to the buildings , Nos . 9 and 11 The enginesunder the command of Mr . Braidwood were scarcely iniull operation , for the purpose of preventing the extension of the fire , when the whole frontageof the nouses Nos . 9 , and' 10 , fell in one mass , with a tremendous crash , into the alley , . and ii was only by making a precipitate retreat , and letting go their tranches that the firemen escaped Afi « r the failing of the houses 9 and 10 j the greatest fears were entertained for those on the opposite side , as ike brickwork , in its descent , battered in the frontage of 2 \ o . 22 opposite , a large oil and colour warehouse , occupied by Mr . John Webb , and the ski door , alodging house , into which great flashes of fire and burning embers were precipitated . ' The engines did not cease playing on the ruins for some hours after . -
Reports having been in circulation during the raging of the eonSigration , that at least 14 or 15 persons had perished in the flames , Crookland , - the foreman of the eastern division of the Fire Brigade insntnted inquiries , and from what he collectedfrom a man na med Newman , foreman in Mr . Barton ' s factory , and who with difficulty effected his escape from the house No . 10 , in which he slept ) he entertained no doubt that such was the case . The ruins have become sufficiently cooled , and every other precautionary measure having been taken for securing them from the falling of the tottering walls and chimneys , by which they were surrounded , the iremen commenced a careful search , and had scarcely enwa-ed the ruins of 2 * 0 . 10 , before they discovered Hidden
partially . by a heavy beam , a blackened mass , which on further examination proTed to be the body of a female . It wa 3 immediately removed from the rums , enclosed in a sheet and placed in the Tear until a shell was proured from the parochial authorities . Oh the removal of this body , those three children , varying in age from four to nine years , were discovered directly under it , in a posision which left no doubt that the body of the female was that of their mother . On continuing their search the bodies of fhree men and another Troman were subsequently dascOYeTed , bnt burnt in so frightful a manner as to render it impos sible to inentify them . Some of them had lost their heads , and most of them their arms' and lees .
Among those missing are a man named Hood , a . cabinet-maker , his wife , and three children ; and two men , named M'Carthy and Ennison . The whole of these bodies were discovered within a few yards of each other , and as they were dug out the firemen were unable to conceal the spectacle , owing to the situation of the place , from public gaze . It created intense horror throughout the assembled multitude , and the screams of the women at the Jieart-sickening sight "were truly appalling . Shells having been procured , the remains were conveyed to Bishopgate Workhouse , to await the verdict of a coroner ' s jury . - ^ Newman , who , fortunately for himself , escaped , gives the following account of what came to his knowledge respecting this melancholv occurrence ;
—He , together with his -wife , slept in the front room oo the first floor of the honse No . 10 , and retired to rest'on Monday night , about half-past eleven or a quarter to twelve o ' clock , previous to which time he had gone over the factory , and found the fires connected with the machinery and steamengine used in the business quite out , and everything perfectly safe . He continued awake until abont two o ' clock , when he heard , as he believed . Flood and his wife , who lived with their family in the second floor back-room ^ come in and stumble up stairs in - a "very clninsv manner , as if they were in liqnor . He then went to sleep mml six o ' clock , when he was awakened as he thought by the heavy falling of ram . He woke his wife and called her attention to it , and then got put of bed to dress himself , which took him about
ten minutes or a quarter of an honr .. On opening ibe _ room door for the purpose of going down stairs , a vast body of flame burst in upon him , and he was convinced had he not fallen down on the floor he must have perished . He scrambled to the ¦ window and opened it , and the current of air caused the fire to ascead the staircase and enabled him to descend and open the street door to call for assistance . Seeingno one he returned to secure the safety of his wife , but whilst in the act of assisting her out of the room , the upper Etaircase gave way , and fell in a mass of fire before them . He ( Newman ) however succeeded in again reaching the street door , bnt his -wife retreated to the room , and threw herself out of the window , bnt was so injured as to render it necessary that she should be conveyed to tiie London Hospital , where she still remains in ^ dangerous state . He conld hot form the slightest idea as to how the fire originated .

The woman of the house is one of those who was wounded by a sabre on the blood-stained field of St . Peter , and at whose house the commemoration has always takea place . The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens , and pictures , portraits of a-great number of those great men who hare figured on the political stage , and who have left names behind them as imperishable as the evergreens that surrounded their portraits .

chair , and Mr . Elijah Broadbent . Vice-President lie opened the meeting by stating that they had that night assembled to do honour to the name of a man who was never yet surpassed for his devotedness to the great and sacred cause of freedom , and he relied upon that kind of conduct which he had mvaxiably found amongst the Radicals , for making uis situation tk-at evening of very little trouble to him , and he sincerely hoped that nothing would be introduced to cause the least ill feeling to spoil the social hour . The first toast he had to propose to them , was the "Working Classes , the true and legitimate source of all power . " In the absence of some of the principal speakers , the Chairman was called on _ to respond to it , which he did at Borne length , pointing out the many evils by which we are surrounded , and stating that if ever there was a time when the energies of the people were required that time was the present * and that withouturianimitV and perseverance they never could gain their noliticalnghta . ™

' " The cloud capp'd towers , the gorgeous palaces , The" solemn temples , the great globe itself , Yea '! all which it inherits , should dissolve , ' And , like the baseless fabric of a vision , I « eave not a wreck behind , " before those great and sacred principles could be driven from the minds of the industrious Bons of Bntam .

The next toast was "The Education of the People , and may the State speedily provide for their moral and intellectual improvement " Mr . James Taylor said that he could , notbe called upon to respond to anything that could give him more pleasure , as he considered th <» education of the people a question of great and paramonnt importance , for if ever the people were instructed as he could wish them to be , they would not suffer oppression and Jnsult as they had done ; but with alf the teunts thrown out by the enemies of the people about their ¦ *• ignorance" he felt convinced from experience that they had more intelligence , mce sound political knowledge than those who were now intrusted with the franchise . In the course of his speech ( which lasted nearly an hour , ) he adduced many interesting subjects , both historical , theological and ^ scientific , which gave great pleasure and satisfaction , and concluded amidst the general plaudits of the meeting .

He said he should feel Wanting -in his duty as a son of Caledonia * did he hot make somo remarks on the poeticgenius of that great , but unfortuaate , taaui His poetry throughout was sublime and beautiful ; and some of his poems were never surpassed in patriotic ardour . He had made that wild and beautiful countryj emphatically speaking , the land of Burns . His voice was whispered on hill and dale by the bold BOHS and beauteous daughters of ¦¦
- ¦; ; " Scotia my dear , my native soil , Forwhomniy wanucstpniyors toheav'nare sent , Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil Bo bleat with peace , and ease , and sweet content " The mind capable of giving birth to such patriotic snetiments as those he had just repeated was dosefving of being immortalized tor ever . After passing a high eulogiura on the genius and patriotism of Burns , he concluded amidst great applauso and clapping of hands . . . , Mr . John Redmain also made- some observations on the wit of Burns , and repeated several verses of his best poems ; In the courso of the evening , the following songs were sung , and recitations given ;
Song— " There came to the beach a biff beffcarman bong— - mere came to the beach a big beggarman Of Ireland wanting the' ? Ttintf " - ' By Mr , John Redmaiil , which caused gteat laughter . Recitation— " Volney ' s New Age . "—Mr . Eliiah Broadbent .

BARWSI . EY . ( Omitted last week for want of room . J The members of the ^ orthern Union keld their weekly meeting ag usual on Thursday the 3 rd instant . When the business conBected with the union was over , the chairman read Mr . O'Connor ' s reply to the Editor of the Champion ^ which drew forth the animadversions of those present . . The following resolution wag passed unatiimouBly . . ¦ " That this meeting view with contempt and indignation the base , dastardly , and invidioua conduct of the Editor of the Champion , © n our nobleminded and chivalrous friend Feargus O'Connor Esq ., during his absence in Ireland . Further , this meeting is of this opinion , that the unta ] ented HUMBUG wished to overshadow the bright stab bj : Liberty , and raise the Cktmpion oh ^ its ruins . "
The town having be en placarded that a meeting of the friends of education would be . held at the Odd Fellows ^ Hall , on Tuesday , the 5 th inst ., at two o ' clock , p . m . y when Earl Fitzwilliam was to tate the chair , and the meeting was t » receive admission by ticket , delivered at the Meehaaics ' ¦ Institute . " - one hour previous to the taking of the chair . At the . appointed time , many respectable working men repaired to the Institute ,. but on their
aDDearance before the partiiet yvho delivered the tickets , they were refused without ceremony , on account of their being Chartists , ( as they called the applicants ) and even many membeTs of the Mechanicg Institute were refused on the same ecorej by what authority such regulation * were made was not stated . The writer of this notice was one among the refuged number , and would have been unable to obtain admittance , bad it not been for a gentleman , who kindly presented him with a ticket .
After the refusal and exclusien of the parties for whose service they pretended the meeting was called , the working classes felt indignant at such base treatment , drew up a memorial , and had it presented to his Lordship as he arrived at the place . The note was to this effect . "That a portion of the working classes , being desirous to attend this meetings and being refused admi 8 « on , they call on your Lordship to use your influence in their behalf . " This note was Mgned by a number of the working classes . Theresult was , that the person whodeli " vtred the note w ^ ca'led upon the platform / He was interrogated as to the object they had in view or were they not prepared with some resblucion to
disturb the harmony of the meeting . ; To this he gave a decided negative . Notwithstanding , they were refused admittance . On the motion of Mi-Martin , ¦ J ,-P . j ' E « l FUzwilliamw ^ moved to the chair . We noticed tround him Sir Francis Lindley Wood , Mr . Plint , Corn Law agitator , of Leeds Messrs . F ., "W . "Wilson , Harvey , Miclethwaite WilsonvBanksj Hall , and oihers . Mr . Martin proposed the first resolution , and took oeeaBion , in thus doing , to revert to the late proceedings of the town . He stated , if they had had the aid of the Foreign and British School Society , some years previous , they would not hare heard of the late movements , considering in hi * logical deductions that misery and discontent arose from the ignorance of the people . p
. ' ResolTed , "That it is the opinien of this meeting : that the greater portion of this town are unedu ^ cated . .. ¦ " . '¦"¦ " . . . .. < ¦ - . - ¦ , . ; ¦ ¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ . ¦ ' - - . - " F . ^ W . Wilson seconded the re « olution , upon which the ' e Rev . ilr . WiUiams , of St . Mary'd Church ^ arose and addressed the Chairman , stating that it wag his opinion there were ample ; means in the town to give educattoh to the -working classes , without inourrringtke expense of another buildiBg . He therefore waraed all his . hearers belonging to th ^ Church not to contribute to the p-esent scheme of eduaation ' as he oould not agree with any plan , unless the monies were under the control of the established Church . He protested against the present scheme , inasmuch aa it admitted deists , atheiats , and papist ' to its school . re
He was followed in a more liberal manner by the Rer . Mr . Roberts , of St . G * orgp ' s , who finished his tune on the name string rb &Ir . WilHams , by entering hi * protest against the present system . This proceeding on the part of the Rev . ^^ Gentleman . drew some very severe eastigations from the speakers who followed after , and who were loudly cheered , when shewing forth the untenable position of the Chureb > e 8 tabli 5 > hed monoplj-..-. y The next resolution was proposed bv Sir F . L . Wood , who noticed , in severe termsV the arguments made use of by the Rev . Gentlemen who precededhim : — . " Tkatit is tke opinion of this meating that a school should be built for the education of the working classes of this town and ieibbourhiod . "
g .. ThisTesolutien was seconded by Mr * Wilson , of tfank Hall , in a very powerful aid able manner after whiehy ' Mr . Plint , * f Leeds , addre «§ ea the meeting at considerable length , and took occasion to refer to the late political mpveraentj and said thai he rejoiced as much as mybody ,. could that political changes should be called for ; and shewed , that were it not for the ignorance ; in which the working clagses are steeped , they would scout any man from among them who would talk to them about physical force . At ; the . conclusion ' - of his speech : .- ¦ ' .
TheRey . M > . Rigbyj Cath » lie Pastor of Baros-Tey , rose to ask the last Bpeaker a jHeHtion , namrfy , from what terswu of the Bible were the extracts to be made for the uie of the school?—and then took occasioti bo illude to the expr ^ sionrwhich fell froin the Key . Mr , Williams , regarding Deists , Atheists and Papists ; and stated to the meetiBg that he would riot wish to deprive the Dissenters of the "biessings of education , although ^ he etood dlere as the only individual who was not a DisieBter—aa a Roman Catholic ; they , as a matter of course , Us . sented from his Church . He then reprobated the ldeaof the people being ignorant , inasinuch as that all systems of education laid dowi for the people were ia them ^ lyes imperfect aid deficient , and took the opporlanity of contrastinst the education «**
„ on the Continent with ours . The present advocates of education never brought forward a syatem of education whereby the working man may : employ his native ^ talent . He fclao state * that children should not ^ nl y ^ be tanght , reading , writin g , and anthmetie ^ ut hkewse irawbg vmathematic ^ &e ; and . concluded b y ^ tating , if ttiey COUld nit meet hw tiews with regard to the . extraotB from the Bible he would feljhankiul if theywbuld uM him wi £ someicp | ybook « andother thing , , which vould enable SnlerW ^^ dan ^ iS ^ tS ^ r ?^^^
