Need a bit of advice guys.

A halogen bulb recently blew in my kitchen which knocked out all my downstairs lights as i do not have a circuit breaker/trip switch thing??? I turned off the power to my downstairs lights and replaced the blown fuse which was in a pull out black switch in the wall. However another bulb has just blown in my kitchen again and when i went to change the fuse (as before) i noticed that previously i had accidently put a 13Amp fuse in instead of a 5Amp one. Now depite it now having the correct fuse none of my lights work downstairs. What can i do???
