LATE OMISSIONS.

Nezp Orleans, August 2.
Fsre.-Lastn night, towards i0 o'clock the fine Cotton Press and Warehouses belonging to MT. J. FRERAT, Senr. sit uate in the square formed by Caronde- let, Union, Baronne and Perdide streets, suburb St. Mary, was destroyed by fire. 1t broke out on so many different noints, and spread with such rapiditr. that in moment the whole establish ment, although built of bricks, and cov- cred with slate, was in blaze. The warehouses contained upwards of 2000 bales of cotton, but little of which was insured, 1000 pieces of bagging, and quantity of bale rope. The two last ar- ticles belonged to the establishment, which weheard, with pleasure, was in- sured for S20,000.

 It was observed, on this melancholy occasion, that fully quarter of an hour had elapsed, after the breaking out of the fire, before the bell of the Cathe- dral began to ring. Was the watch on the top ofthe Church asleep, or was ii moi yet placed: The inefliciency of the Engines and buckets of the Corpo- ration was also remarked; but at the same time the zeal and activity of the private Engine Companies of the su- burb was conspicuous. These two En- zines preserved Mr. Freret's dwelling house, which otherwise, would havein- evitably been destroyed, as well as a number of wooden buildings adjoining. It to be regretted that the imprudent Zeal of several persons induced them to remove the furniture of NIT. Freret, which they wished to save from the tiames-it has been so brokenand spoil cd, that it is almost unservieeable.

 London, June 5.-The approaching 2 demise of the crown has already pro- duced visible effect on the movement ofparties. The greatest efforts will be made to displace the Duke of Yelling ton--bat the opposition which is hardly any thing more thana collection of in- dividuals united only in their hostility to the premier, is very likely to explode ofitself, as. soen as its triumph over the present ministry is attained. What must be thought of the soiidity of par U thatis destined to act under the ioint command of such old antagonists as Lord 6 6 ;eey ;eeyj' aHd Lord jT3iidion: 1illd vet 1t is confidently asserted, that there was to be, last evening, at the Marquis of Lansdowne'sa meeting of these ancient political foeman, and that all other dis ginguisfed ultrasof every side were to be present to aid in the organization of formidable and efficient opposition, and to arrange the materials of q new Cabi- net to como into power with the new Sovereign.

 On Thursday night, Lords Holland and Lansdcwne endeavored to extort from the Ministero of Foreign Affairs, confession ofthe real motive on the part of Russia, for abandoning a claim of million of ducats from Turkey---and on the part of the allies for narrowing the l boundaries of Greece, after having once fixed them from Arta to Velo. Lord i Aberdeen evaded the questions entire ly, but we see very clearly from the memorandum 1.-the British Hlenipoten- tiary annexed to the protocol of the 22d of March, 1899, that the British Gov 1 ernment, from the first, was averse to granting large and easy defensible territcryto the Greeks :--thaf the pro- posed boundary from Arta to Velo was only acceded to at the conference by =zzssse Efisssh Minister, upon the express I condition that 1t should not be consider l
