The

“Pall Mall Gazette's” Revelations.

INDIGNATION MELTING OF LADIES.

The.‘‘Gazette” determined to speak and spare not.

Lonvon, July 14. In the Honse of Commons, yesterday, Sir Richard Cross, Home Secretary, said that the Government would make the full- est enquires into the truthfullness of the Pall Mall Gazette's revelation.

A mass meeting of women has been held to consider ways and means to protect young girls from the terrible pitfails of London, as revealed by the Gazette. Mrs Booth and other ladies delivered elequent addresses. The meeting resolved that the laws on the subject should forthwith be made-more efiicient.

The Gazette in an editorial commenting on results of its revelations, declares that its trumpet blast has roused the world, ‘*No word was raised in churches yesterday against us,” continues the paper, ‘‘but all the forces of wickedness in high places are against us. Smith and Sons, possessing monopoly of news stands on railway system of England have suppressed their sales of ! the Gazette, The Prince of Wa'es has stopped his paper. The Right Hn Geo. Bentinck is posing in Parliament in the name of outraged morality and clamors for our extinction. The Gazette did not un- dertake this enquiry to unearth vice of the great; but if we are driven to bay, we will be compelled by the aciion of our aseail- ants to speak and sparo not.

The Fishery Question. Orrawa, July 14.

In the House of Commons, yesterday, there wasa long discussion on the Wistery question.

The Fire Yesterday.

The beautiful residence of Benjamin Hear'z, Esq., North River Road, was yes- terday evening destroyed by fire. It was one of the handsomest dwellings in the suburbs, and an ornament to the part of the city in which it was situated. The fire originated from a spark lodging unobserved on} the kitchen roof, and the flamcs were first discovered by ladies driving past. They immediately ivf:rmed Doneld Me- K neon, Esq., of the occurrence, and Mr. McKinnon alarmed the hands at work in his tannery, in McKiaion & McLean’s Foundry and Mr. Boyie’s Tannery. The alarm was also seut from the foundry to the central station, and a general alarm was then sounded. The engines quickly took positi:n at the Lower Spring Park and assisted each other, while the Salvage Corps and Hook and Ladder Company, not- withstanding the heat of the day, made a splendid run to the scene of the fire, and did good work on arrival, the former

removing the farniture which _re- mained in the tuilding, and carefully guarding it on the lawn unt! the

owner took charge of it. In the meantime the men from the tanneries and the found: y, who first arrive |, were busily engaged with water bucke!s endeavoring to extinguish the flames—which were confiued io the kitchen roof. Then Tremont engine came to their assistance, und helped to stay the progress of the fire uatil the stean: engine got water. When the engine was ready to play on the flames, which were still con- ined to the kitchin, but extending rapidly towards the main building, a length of hose burat. Thus the firemen were <lelayed and the flames, notwithstanding the good work of ‘** Tremont,” extended to the roof of the dwelling, aud before all the de’e:tive lengths of hose were discovered and re- moved from the line, and the engine re commeuced work, the tire had taken possession of the top of the structure, and was slowly consuming it towards the founda- tion. Had the hose been sound when the engine was first ready to piay, there is little doubt but the dwelling would have been saved with small damage.

The residence is valued at about $4,000, and was insured in the Liverpool, London, and Globe—R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., Agent for $1,500. The furniture which was all saved, was insured in the Mutual of

P. E. Island.

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

the Lecture Last Evening

Sir,—Will you favor me with the privi- lege ¢f doing what my interest in the pros- perity and intelligence of this fair city of ours and its citizens makes me desirous of doing, saying a word or twoas tothe Lec- ture delivered last night in the Y. M. C. A, Hall by the Hon. J. B. Finch. The attendance last night was small, but 1 feel sure that if our people are only made aware of the masterly and attractive style in which the lecturer handled his eubject last night, that to-night the Hall wili be crowded. As a ruie, I am inelined to insert temperance lecturers amongst the evils, a petition for the deliverance from which I feel sure the compilers of the prayer book would mosi certainly have added to the litany could they only have forseen the troubles that were to come upon the men of the nineteenth century. There,is generally very little in the average temperence lecture but a combination of vombast narrowness and flowers.

But with the lecturer of last night the csse was very diterent. From _ begin- vivg to end the interest was sustained not oy rhetoric! tricks but by the force of a thorough grasp of his subject, a deep sym- pathy with the sorrows and sufferings of his fellows, and a marvellous power of cl thing his thoughts in appropriate words nd accompanying their utterance by that atruck home ‘‘every tne.” Leaving the interest of the que - Lion discussed to one side, I have this to

siy: “That anyone who is de- jsirous of hearing ® specimen cf the class of platform speaking whieh

ior good or evil is moulding public opinion amongst our neighbors across the border, ought to come and hear Mr. Finch to-night. I have seen McVicker’s immense opera house in Chicago packed from gallery to pit, at a dollar aseat, to hear Col. Robert [ugersoil speak, and I don’t suppose that a
