put up in the Cove Field , " by tlie militaiy , by five o ' clock la the CTcaing , '¦ . * , - * ¦ -.- * * The scene was one fruly piteous . Hoaiy age , and helpless infancy , frail women , the sick and decrcpid , halted in these bleak highways and rade outbuildings , unable to Uy further from the scene of danger ; there they sunk down , overwhelmed with despair . Some idea of the sufferings of these broken-hearted people may bs gntlicred from the fact that two children , who were taken from a bed of lever , expired yesterday in a stable . A woman also expired from fright and exhaustion in an open field , and we have been told that a man also died in some wretched corner on Sunday I night . ! ( From ( Jte Quebec Gazette . ) \ Distbibciiox of Food to iue Sufferers by toe Late Fins . —As no bread could ba obtained from the
bakers on the mommgafter the lire ( it being Sunday ) , biscuit was procured , and about twelve cwt . was immediately distributed to the crowds of poor sufferers , who had lied for safety with their little all , and were lying 011 the glacis , and in the fields adjoining the martcllo towers . This temporary relief was conducted by Messrs . Synics and FaribauU , who were assisted by Messrs . Frechette , jun ., Uuot , Fulton , Prcnderijast , jun ., and Evans . On . Monday morning the distribution of bread was made at the building of the Legislative Assembly , under the superintendence of Messrs . Faribault , Chabot , and Holt , and continued to a late hour . Tho number of individuals who were thus supplied with food was 4 S 00 , or 1109 families .
IMPORTANT SEWS FROM TEXAS . T 7 e take the following extracts from the New York papers ; intelligence from Galveston to the 23 rd ult . had been received by tbc Princeton steamer : — The Theaty with Mexico bejkcied . —President Joses ' s Message . —Tn « Axxexaiion Project COPIED UXAXIMOUSLY BY CONGRESS . TllO UCWS brought by the Princeton is of the most interesting character . Both houses of the Texan Congress have unanimously consented to the terms of the joint resolation of the Tuuitcd States . The Senate had rejected the treaty with Mexico by a unanimous vote . A resolution was introduced into both Houses of Congress , requiring the executive to surrender all posts , navy yards , barracks , &c , to the nroper authorities
of the United States . The joint resolutions were introduced into bothllonses of Congress on the same day , and -were almost identical in their tenor . The resolutions passed the Senate on the 18 th of June , and were sent to the honse ; tlie house laid them on the table , and passed tlieir own resolutions unanimously , and sent them to the Senate on the next day . In the meantime considerable jealousy arose as to which branch should claim the honour of the paternity of the resolutions ; and it ' was finally settled that the kouse should take up the resolutions of the Seaatc , and amend-them in the third section . The house tlieu pa ? scd tliem in their present form , and Ecni ihcni back to the Senate , which body concurred in the amendment .
The Washington Union of tlio 3 rd announces tlie acceptance of the annexation of Texas on the terms proposed by the latter . It therefore appears that there is now no avoiding the full consummation of the scheme ;
. MEXICO . The intelligence from Ycra Cruz is to the 13 th ult . Asotuer Attempt at Revolution ' . —We have already , say the New York papers , had accounts of another revolution , but this arrival gives fuller details of it than had reached us . It seems that on the Gtii of June , according to a letter in the ficayimc , a regiment broke through , the guard stationed at the Government Palace and took the President and Secretary cf Foreign Relations prisoners ; but the revolutionists wera immediately afterwards put down by the citizens and soldiers , and the above distinguished personages set at liberty . In this affair , a colonel , ; i captain , and about thirty of the privates belonging to the malcontents were killed , when quiejfc was once more restored . Many men in high stations in Mexico arc suspected of haviiis ; a hand in causing this new outbreak , . ind it is said that ex-Sccretavy 'f cruel has been arrested and imprisoned .
CUBA . Great Fihe at Mataxzas . —Loss Estimated at Eight licxDitEi ) Thousand Doluiss . —Theifet / York Krjiras cf the evening preceding tho Ac . idia ' s departure publishes the following : —Yve have a IJavannaii paper of the 28 th ult-., which gives us the details oi a great fire in Matauzas , that happened on the 26 th . The following we translate from La , Aurora , a Matauzas paper of the 2 fth : —It appears that a severe calamity has befallen the rich city of Matanzas . At halt-past eight o ' clock , a . m ., the bells of the parisu charcli announced that the richest part of the city was seized by the flames . In fact , the fire had bust out , as we are informed , in a carpenter ' s shop , in the Marina , where a large eolieetbn of timber supplied abundance of fuel to the linmes . The lire immediately extended to tucadjacont buildings , which were all oi wood , and 01 such 02 c a-3 to be hHily
eonibustiolc , so that the conflagration extended rapidly towards the Royal Custom-house , on the opposite corner , r . ml to the house of Don Bartolm 6 dek Mater , which was soon seized by the devonriasr element , threatening to consume tkc whole town , " it is three o ' cicck in tlia afternoon , and v . -e have just It ft the seene of the ea ' . iistroph p ; aac ! while the ' rains oi the c ( Mees of the n-hoiu ^ Marina , are consuming , - the principal block , and another adjoining it , have disappeared . A great pail of the contiguous blocks in the west- have also been destroyed hi part . "We may truly say that . vfcsfc has beca tlie genera ! depot of the great part of the commercial wealth of their city has 2 icw teen made a prey to the flames .

Mullins and George White . , The following members of the Provisional Central Committee were also present—Messrs . Fleming , llobsori , Skclton , and Barratt—and took part in the sions , but did not vote .
The chairman , in opening tho proceedings , congratulated the Conference on their again assembling to discuss subjects so important for tiie benefit of the working classes , lie could assure them that since they . last met the Central Committee had not been unmindful of tl je interests of the working cjasses . They had divided their plans of organisation into two distinct sections , namely ; , one for the better union of Trades generally , and the other for the better employment of surplus labour in agriculture and manufactures . The more he ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) considered the plans which the committee had proposed , tho more was he convinced that they were the only ones which would have the effect of pcrmanentlv benefiting the working classes .
( Hear . ) They were now assembled to discuss the plans which the committee had proposed , and ho hoped that they would do so with temper and discretion , lie was bound , however , to toll them , that he had received many communications , to the effect that a sufficient space of time had not intervened between the publication of the plans , as drawn up by the committee , and the assembly of the Conference to consider them , to allow of tlie Trades generally to send delegates . Indeed appeals had been made to the committee to postpone the meeting of Conference , for some two ' or three months ; but the committee felt that it would have been an exercise of power liable to bo called in question . The Conference that appointed the committee had fixed the day for the assembling of the second Conference ; and though the committee knevy that the time between t !; o publication of the plans and the meeting was very short—for too short—still all they could clo was to
convene the Conference , leaving it to the body when assembled to adjourn for a-stated period if it thought such a course desirable , or at all ' likely to result in . 1 better representation of the Trades . The plans had been promulgated as soon as they had been prepared , and they would have been prepivred'sooner , had the respective Trades sooner responded to the call made on them for the detail information necessary for the committee , before drawing up their schemes of organisation , lie had thus brought the matter before them : if they thought it best to adjourn , they had the power to do so . No desire being expressed to adjourn tho meeting , _ The Secretary read over the order of business . A list of standing orders was also submitted , whicli was agreed to ncni . con . The report of the , Provisional Committee was brought up by tho secretary , which , on tho motion ol Mi . Berry , seconded by Mr . Aarons , was received , and read at full lenath . When it was concluded ,
Mr . Rogers rose and read . 1 plan submitted by tlie Trades of Bristol . Upon the motion being put that this plan should be received , Mr . W . Evans moved"That any attempt ts form a general union on a plan combining tho twofold principles of the organisation of Trades and Land allocation , will be impracticable and prejudicial to the union now sought to be cemented" —which was seconded by Mr . Young . On tho question being put , the Chairman declared the amendment carried . The preamble of the plan propounded by the-Provisional Committee was then submitted , and unanimously adopted . The further discussion of the plan was adjourned until Tuesday morning , ton o ' clock . The following members were appointed to audit tlie committee accounts : —Messrs . Bush , Carpenter , ¦\ V . Evans , Potter , and Kenyon , Bloek-Priuters . The Conference tiiun adjourned .

Wedsespat , July 30 . ¦ The house jaetat twelve o ' clock , and proceeded at once with public business . On the motion for going into committee of supply , Mr . Fieldes called attention to the treatment which lie and others had received under the Property Tax Act , and moved for certain returns connected therewith . It appeared that the lion , member ' s establishment at Oldham had been assessed to the property tax at £ 21 , 000 per annum . Upon appc-al the commissioners , when he was not present , had reduced it to £ 12 , 000 , which was far greater than it ought to be . lie had sought every means of redress , but iu vain , and he now brought the subject before the house . lie had offered to produce his boolts , shewing his dividends of profits with his partners ; but without availing themselves of this means of ascertaining tlie real facts , the commissioners , in his absence , decided against his appeal , aud his goods were levied upon for the assessment on a profit of £ 12 , 000 .
Mr . Williams seconded the motion , and expressed his belief that this was only one of a thousand similar
cases . The Chaxcellou of the Exchequer regretted tho inconvenience to which the lion , gentleman bad been subjected , but that inconvenience was chic-fly to be attributed to that boasted British virtue of resistance to oppression upon which the lion , gentleman hsd acted to an extent which others might think scarcely prudent , and which al all events liad led to the annoyances of which he complained . He did not see bow the bouse could relieve him —all the proceedings were regular and legal , and even though tbc commissioners might have come to an uujust decision , yet Government were bound hand and foot by the provisions of the act , and however they might regret they could not assist the hon . gentleman . To the greater portion of the returns moved for he had no objection .
llr . Ilawes and Mr . Ilume having addressed the house , Sir It . Peel said-he deeply regretted the annoyances to which Mr . Pielden had been subjected , but the fault did not rest with the Government . When the income-tax was under the consideration of Parliament , the Government bad proposed the appointment of these commissioners under the conviction that jealousy would _ liave been excited both within and without the house if they proposed to vest in themselves the patronage which the appointment of assessors and collectors must have given them . That feeling seemed to have been' adopted by Parliament , and the present system was adopted , the evils of which , as complained of , he thought to be exaggerated . After some further conversation , Mr . FiiiiDEX withdrew his motion .
THE HA 1 LWAT ! ACCIDENTS . Mr . Behxal called attention to the recent accidents on railways , and contended tliat where parties were deriving large profits from them , the public had a right to expect that every attention should be devoted to the safety of those who travelled by them . Sir G . Cleek stated the steps taken by tlie Board of Trade in all such casts ; and , aftci « a short discussion , Sir R . Peel , amidst repeated cheers , said that the railway directors were bound to protect the public . It was no answer when accidents occurred to say that in coach travelling accidents were more frequent—they should seek to have no accidents at all . If railway propriotors failed in making proper provision for the safety of the public , he was satisfied , that Parliament would not hesitate to diminish their profits , with a view to provide more efficaciously for the security of the lives of those whom they conveyed .
NATIONAL DEFENCES . Lord PALMEnsTON stated some circumstances of mismanagement on the Dover line which had come under his own observation ; after whicli , he called attention to the state of our national defences . It was true , he said , that we were on the host tenus with Prance , but it was to be recollected , nevertheless , that Prance had an army of 350 , 000 men—a large naval force , particularly in war steamers—that a steam bridge might be thrown across tlie Channel without any difficulty should
the present good understanding unhappily be broken , which it might be any month in the year , and that in such an event we were powerless for resistance . The noble lord argued at some length for the necessity of calling out our militia as usual for the full period of 2 S days , by which course we might reckon upon a force of 50 , 000 men , if requisite , in case of an invasion , at an expense of only £ -10 , 000 ; and he also contended for the necessity of taking a larger vote than the ona already agreed to for the construction of-harbours of refuge .
Sir It . Peel said t !; at this was a subjeet . which , from a sense of public duty , he would not discuss in that house . There was no advantage in displaying to the world the extent of our resources ; but he would say this—that if a just war were to call forth the energies of the British nation , there never was a period in which she could make a mow powerful demonstration than at the present moment . With respect to harbours of refuge , he was of opinion that they should proceed , as they were proceeding , cautiously . The apprehension of the noble lord some what surprised him ; for thenoblo lord was himself ten years in oBicc without being assailed by any fears ,
alihoaxh tae country was then in a much more defenceless position than at 'present . With respect to the calling out of tha militia , he hoped tho house would not press him to stiitethe intentions of the Government , lie would only say that he thought , in iho present state of society in this country , tliat tlie present militia laws were not in any way adapted to it . Jfe did not think that we should be running a race of rivalry , not of commerce and civilisation , but of military display with Prance , or any other power , though ho admitted that it was a nice point to juJga -where the necessity of self-defence terminated .
Lord Paljiesstox said he had suggested no rivalry of military power with other r . ntious . He had only referred to tiie great military power of Prance , and its means of decent by steam bridges . Sir R . Peel said Ihut it was to be recollected that steam bridges wove available to both parties , and that wo bad steam bridges also . Lord Palmessxo . v . —Yes , but we have not an army . Sir C . Na ? i :: h said that we were not so defenceless as the noble lord supposed , if it wore really true , as he understood it to be , that in addition to 30 , 000 regular troops in England , we could at any moment call out 50 , 000 serviceable pensioners , who had fought our battles in the Peninsula and elsewhere .
Quebec . ns . In reply to a quo ? tion from Jlr . J , A , Smith , Sir H . Piel said he had read the accounts , received that morning , of tho . calamity by fire at Quebec—a calamity which involved four-ul ' ths of tlic town in destruction ; ar . d he thought the house should show its sympathy for the uafcisunate suftarcrs . lie would , before ' thu filial lose of the committee of supply , propose a vote for their relief . Tiic remainder of the evening was occupied in tho discussion of tiie estimates .
