In the Court of Queen's Beach yesterday, the long pending case to try the legality of Mr. John Reyeolds's election as Lord Meyor was at length de cided, the judgment of the court bring against his election. It will be lac Alectel that the corporation made a return to the writ of mandamus for the elec tion of a new lord mayor to the effect that the office was already hard. To this return a demurrer was made by the opponents of Mr. Reynolds. The de murrer has been before the court for the last three terms, and the judgment delivered yesterday was in favour of it, and against the return. Judge Perrin did not agree in the lodgment. but delivered no judgment of his own on the occasion. The Cork Reporter reiterates its statement about the Synod of Thurber, in the following terms: Writ 'Mist: to oar annoonesareat of Sstortay, we can only say that, marmot assertion pan rely that the deans of the synod will not be confirmed, we still consider that the intimation we g ire will be found correct, sod that except ;wasps, some *Mob have no interest for the general public, the 1104 See will no confirm those deems. • Eight estates were advertised for sale yesterday in the Encumbered Estates Court, but they were not each aspmented many attractions for public: compe tition. The estate of Samuel Mannetll, situated in the I counties of Limerick and Kilkenny, was offered. The Limerick estate was subdivided, into three lots, viz.; .Lot 1, 148 acme, yielding a gross rent of 223 L; lot 2, 92 scree, yielding ditto 196!.; and lot 3. 117 scree, producing a yews rent of 1991., the de ductions being a quit reut of 21.185., and a tithe rent charge of 171. An application was made to have these three lots pot up in one, but the commissioners objected to this course, as also to one C.r adjourning the sale, on the ground that they should keep faith with the public, who in such oases were put to considerable expense and trouble in look ing at the property advertim d, and coming there to bid fur it. Same one having observed that the N 1.41- ten in Chancery panned a different practice, VA ere more yielding to applicitions for adjournments, Commissioner Locgtield said - But how many estates; do the Misters in Cusecery succeed in soiling in the year? We are all very well acquainted with the practice of the ltle•ters' cfli-es, and the consequences of it on the elle of estates. Toe c iromissioners then naked if any person present desired the lots to be put up seperatch, sad a gentleman having replied in the affirmative, the arm lot was offered, and the bidding* for :t rose from SOW. to 1,700!., at which they ceased; but that sum not bring c msidered adequate to the value of the property, the rile was adjourned. The si mid lot lid/ then put up. There were no bidders, and the 000 rt then consented to pet up the hods in one lot. There was no bidder, flow erer, for the estate in this form, and the sale was ad journed. The Kilkenny portion of the property consisted of some houses. which were purchased for the respective prices of 264 43L, and NW. 31.tABLAGE WITH A DECEASED Win's SISTER.— A public sawing, presided over by the Mayor. to petilioa parliament to repeal the law whMh prohibits marriage with the enter of • &mailed wife, sad tilegitimatisse the off.priag of such starri•ps, wan held is the Tows hall, Birmingham, : an Tsesday events', and was very numerously attended.

FIRES IN MANCIIESTER.—ANOTHER COTTON MILL BURNED. MANCHESTER, JAN. 1,5. The adage that " misfortunes never come single " has had • smiling illustration here. Since I sent you an account of the destruction of Meters. Wallies and Co.'s mill, on Friday morning last, we have had no lees than six other fires, one of which, last 'vendee, destroyed • considerable ' portion of the cotton factory of Messrs. Robert Moreland and Co., Aswan. Messrs, Robert Manland and;Co. are spinners and doublers, and their premises, called the Ancoats bridge Mills, consist of three parallel buiichon, on the north side of the river Medlock, the middle and principal budding being 120 feet long and 32 broad, and conuting of six stories and an attic. It won in this larger budding, Idled principally with nin nies machinery, that the fire originated. It was discovered about • quarter put six .'cloak in the evening—the work people having left their employment at six—by some penises outside the mill, who immediately com maniested the last that there was a strong light In the top story to the private watchman. An alarm wee given immediately in the neighbourhood. and Messrs. °oiliness end Co., whose priat works are on the opperite bank of the River Mullah, sent • private fire engine, whim' was got lute play with considerable offset, though some delay centred owing to the muddy bed of the river rendering It neeneary that tn. wider eboull be laden into tun before it could be paned through the seeing. The town Ids engines, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Rose, arrived at the memo of the fire about twenty minutes to omen o'clock. At this time the fire, which had commenced at the north end of the add, bad extended nearly the whole length of the building, and the two upper stories—the sixth and seventh—were a mass of limns. By the energy of the fire men—who succeeded di getting at the flews by taking the hose from the engines on to the top of the adjoieing buildings, sad directing the jets of water immediately into the window, of the top stories—the flumes w. re much re d-aced by ten o'6 ek, and there was • hope that the demure would be confined to th e two top stories of the mill. 137 am accident which occurred at about this time similar to that at the fire of Misers. Wallace end Co.'s, last week, :he 011onnt of deans was much augmented. The floor and faker Hipp , its of the top stories appear to hive b. en so mesh injured by the fire, that about ten o'clock they were melongra capable of sustaining the weight of machinery upon them as the north end, and the floor, extending along nearly sae-half the building from the acieth end falling in, carried down corresponding portions of the filth, fourth, third, and second stories to the bottom of the mill. Had the fire not been is much reduced at this time, it is probable that the Oman would have extended to the lower stories of the other part of the building, in which can the destruction of the entire mill would have been almost inevitable. As it is, the fire has destroyed nearly one ball of the larger mill, and the two tap stories of the remainder, including the entire roof The whole of the walls are standing, except • small portion of the top of the western side. The outer buildings upon the premises have not suffered, except from water. The buildings an insured in the North of E Ireland to the amount of 25001 ; in the West of England tar 2,0001 ; in the Guardian C 001.; and in the Atlas fir C 001.; total, 6,800. The °mount of damage done by the fire is estimated at about 6,0091. 1 regret to say that about two hundred end thirty heeds will be thrown out of employment by the calamity. The cause of the fire is not known. It is said to have originated in some waste roviogs at the north end of the sixth storey or the building, but how they were ignited is • mystery. Duty waste will ignite spontaneously if suffered to lie long in one place, bat these were perfectly clean meiotic in • basket which the spinner lied placed in the career, on the steam pipe. A perpendicular and hori zontal iron steam pipe is united in this part of the mill by means of • curved topper pipe, to permit of the extensioa of the iron pipes, and the spinner has tor many years used this curved copper pipe as a ledge for his waste basket without any accident resulting; and, indeed, it seems improbable that the waste would take fire from any cause except that of • spark dripped in, whether designeisly or accidentally, or through carelessness on the part of some of the hands when leaving work. Two of the fires I have alluded to above occurred on Saturi'sy afternoon, be tween four and five o'clock. One of them, M • house in Moreton-street, Strangeways, wu named by the Oen of the H mind of the lower storey running into a flue, and not being sufficiently protected. The other, also in • dwelliatelsouse, is Wiadmill street, originated in s spark from • fire igniting some bedding. The damage done in either cuts did rot exceed 61., the flames being confined to the rooms in which they originated, and being eats. giddied, with the entrance of the neighbours, before the snivel of the firs engines. The third fire, which was more sericw in its consequences, occurred in • four-storey build. ing, compiled by Mr. Henry Fmk's., a leather currier, and situated is a court near Dausgate. At • little baton six o'clock on Sudsy morning, the two upper storeys were discovered by • policeman to be in flutes. Information being immediately given at the police yard, Mr. Hoes was speedily on the spot with three engines, end sac coded in extinguishing the Are by *bout 8 o'clock, ft having been almost entirely confined to the two upper storeys. The warehouse was closed at half put four on Saturday afteroun, and, coast quietly, nothing is known en to the MIN of the fire, though it is cocjectured to have originated from • sizing stove in the third stony. The total denial, done to the building end stock is estimated at about 4001. Another fin broke out about 10 o'clock on Sande, evening in the sager refinery et Messrs. pinyon, and Shopland, Chester-street, Oeford-street. The workpeople succeeded in extin,uishing the HAMS bailee the arrival of the engines, and the dagger will not slued 201. There wee a sixth fire this morning, but I have est yet Oa parting's,. EMIGRATION TO THE NORTH AM ERIC, COLONIES. A meeting was held tit Southampton on Tuesday evening, in the Town Hall, to consider the advantages offered by the port of Soutnserpton as a favourable point for national emigration, and to hear from the lion. Mr. Howe (Gowen %shit to this country from Nova Scotia) a statement of the mensaresot public benefit designed by his gNyernment en the subject of promoting emigration to the British mihmies in North America. The MAYOR, who presided, briefly iketched the noun immtiestare of the object for which the meeting was convened, and then introduced The lion. Mr. HONE, who remarked oo the numerous natural advantages possessed by the port of S.uthampton, which must be ;sang to every obi. ever. He found the most erroneous opinions prcvaient in this country with reference to the it ate of the British province on the con tinent of America. Many persons imagined that at the time of the American revolution nearly all that was valuable was swept awry from the British dominions. Now, if they would take the trouble to refer to the map, they would find that one half of the whole American continent still owned allegiance to England, and was subject to the aconite el Queen Victoria. But that vast tract of country wet very little known in England, and he wished, there fore, to draw public attention to it. They had four millions of square miles on that vast continent, subject to Queen Viet , ria ; which won larger than all the states of Europe, in cluding the British Islands, put together. They had, there fore, bathe inexhaustible sastenanee of the people, en ex tent of territory more than equal to Europe. (The hon. gentleman proceeded, at great length, to remark on the 1 , climate, the character and productiveness of the soil, and other matters connected therewith ; and showed the gnat advantages which the old united colonies now • forming the United S ates of America pawned over the northern colonies, and which accounted fur the superior progress made by the former over the latter). The five northern provinces comprised Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward's Island, and Newfoundland. Nova Scotia alone possessed 2,683 vessels (or 47 more than all the other four provinces put together). Mr. Howe referred to many other matters connected with the state of the population in the British Islands, illustrative of the evils • created by the immense pressure on toe means of life, acd the legitimate source of relief for that pressure to be found is emigration. He contended for the eupericrity which emigration to the North American colonies offered over ' emigration to the Australian or ocher distant colonies, in ' point of distance, time, and money saved in the passage, • price of land, die.; and entered into fall explanations of the social arrangements (misting in the North Antenna colonies, and gave much latencies information on a;most every branch of the subject which he had so ably brought before them. Then came the question as to the remedy • he proposed for these evils. The plan of colonisation and emigration which he proposed was exceedingly simple. It combia,d the providing of ocean steamboats for the poor— 'the preparation of the wild lands for the settlers by the colonial governments —the promotion of government works within the province'', which would be profitable la them selves, whilst they affortted the means of labour to the poor —and that inter-eolonial communication should be promoted by funds provided by the e aided by loans from the mother country. They were unions to establish cheap te samboats for the poor, whi.:h would ran semis from South ampton to Halifax in 10 days, enabling every man, woman, and child, to land on what Jan of the coast they were wanted at, without that rak of ninon and death to wh'clt they were exposed in the long 'wages of sailing vessels on the usual me , hod. They would not only enabs Britons to come out to the colonies, but also allot' chew, or th. it descend ants, en "sty mo& of returning Wit; to visit the lands of their birth. The hon. gentleman predated a mass of statistics, showing the lawful mortality experiuteeel by emigrants on the present system, and the great saving in tune, money,and life that would be effected by the employmeni of steamboats. He should be happy to co operate with the people of Seuth a mpton in earryinq out these important matters. The 'rpm sea 'allow he had made to her Majesty's government on the subject had been, he was happy to say, waived by them in the kindest yeah spirit; sad be believed they were deli. roue, if the Jaen could be shown to be pewit:able, to assist is establishing these cheap steamboat'. The hon. ire atlemsa resumed his seat amid the enthudastie applause of the meeting. The meeting was subseqlently addressed by Mr. Council lor Stebbins, Mr. Alderman Lankeater, Mr. Sheriff Payne, Mr. Alderman Tucker, Mr. Councillor Club. Mr. Councillor Douglas, T. ' Falvey, E.g., Mr. Alderman Laishler, Major Carmichael Smith, Twlta, Esq. (of the dock ecmpany), T. L. flume., EN., and the It-v. H. Taylor, in support of resolution", which:ware severally carried unanimously. WLNDING UP JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. MADRID AND VALENCIA RAILWAY. Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, the proceedings upon the 1 1, cheep brought spinet the directors of this company were s e resumed, before his honour the Muter in Chancery Blunt, counsel appearing fur the various parties, of whom them * was the usual numerous attendance. Mr. Daniel Mildred, partner in the firm of Meurr. Mar • Lerman end Co., was recalled and examined, and had sines se yesterday conversations with his partners, and had refreshed se his memory by referring to documents. A short time before the 30,7121 17s. 10d, was paid in, Mr. Crudwiclas chairmen JO of the company, and several of the directors came to the t' banking house and wished an account with the Madrid and Valencia Railway Company should be opened, stating K . that the greater past, if not the whole, of the shares had 10 been allotted, and that it was a great object to the company be that the 30,7121. 17.. 101. should be advanced acrd paid, he 1.5 believed it was requested, into the Bank of England by the 0 0 . firm, sad to the credit of the Spanish ambassachr. Upon 5 the strength of this, and upon the calls which yi were Immediately to be paid in, and upon the 1 4 directors giving their guarantee as a collateral 11. security, shanty after the payments in respect of the • deposit., as was expected, came in, and of course relieved the guarantee. He had looked anaisegst his tiepin, but had y o round nothing relating to the taacsaction, and the guarantee gs was of course given up at the time. The ',mount, as ap peered from the ledger, appeared to have been opened in the name of three individuals, namely, Munn. Chadwick, Col 01 quhoun cud Rain, and with the name of the secretary, F. Y. Fowsll, who DO presumed had authority to do so from 63 the rest of the directors, but that in the ordinary coarse of 1. business the actual business in these affairs was delegated by the larger to the lesser number. The banking firm of 23 Messrs. ilsaterman, no doubt, at this period, had tr.,nsec. Lions of this description, with between 50 and 100 public g companies, and this was the ordinary course of business. 12a Upon eau-examination by Mr. Wale, on behalf of Mr, 13 4 Chadwick—That he could not depose to the fact of the the payment of the 30,7121. 17.. 104., and other nsa•ters, from 01 Its is own personal knowledge; but that the information was :? thrived from the communications he had had with his part- is oars, and more particularly with Mr. John Mumma, 30 junior. lies Honour then directed that Mr. Jim. Masterman, jun., at 'koala be summoned to give evidence upon this point to-day. 3 ° Mr. William Howarth, of Fullforl, county Turk, and • : 1 clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Currie and Co., in us. 1845, wan then examined by Mr. Tibbetts, on the part of si the ofliaal moaner, to show that an account had been opened wish that firm upon the suthority of the directors 2 0 and trustees of the Ma .nd and Valencia Railway Company, 2.,,, t • and that the sum be had personally received on that ace tent 30 was 27,4901. between the 9.h and the 21. t of October, 1845. 60 All the cheques, as was the practice of the Bank, were ISt returned. All the sums were paid, he believed, in cheques, lib which were signed, to the boat of his recollection, by Mean. an Chadwick, Udquhoun, and Knell, countersigned by the g i c i' Secretary, Mr. Fowell. He believed that none of tie depo- sits were so placed at the bankers as to enable Count Eyre to to draw. Ile believed that the Lame 0 . Mr. Jos. Capper was 50 not signed to the letters giving the orders. 12f Mr. John Durdin, clerk to the Commercial Bank of Loa- 2 8 1 don, Henrietta street, Covent.garden, and who in 1845 masa Is ' clack in Meson. Currie and Co.'s Bank, deposed that he bad so received 15,5001. deposit on b•halt of the Madrid and Valets- le tie Itrilway Company, between the 10th and 18th of Oe- St. tob:r, 1845. Del not remember that any cheques were dis- 50 humored. 40 50 Mew.. 13. Williams H. T. Forman, C. Wilson, and 30 T. Elswortby, clerks to Messrs. Cockburn and Co., to depos d to having received certain sums in the shape of tit. deposit, and made payments in accordance with the ender of 25 the trustees of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Company. I° Mr. Billing, clerk to Messn. Materman and Co., deposed 4 to the firm having debited themselves on behalf tithe cons. g ‘ pony, down to the 27th of December, 1845, with the sum of to 101,1601., and that at the close of the ledger account there U. wee a sum now due in the way of balance to the company 04 from Nears. Masterson, of 61. 3s. 7d. • et. Mr. Daniell, counsel for Count Eyre and others, said he so understood that during the day a claim for 3,4631. had beea filed against the company by Mr. James Beatty, balance ot 6 account, and that it was desirable to proceed with it u quickly as possible, as the gentlemen had come over from 4 bpain, sad were desirous of returning 04 soon 41 possible. 30 Alter some discussion it wee decided to proceed with the L e consideration of the claim cn Friday. 'Notice Las heels us served upoa Mr. Rose, solicitor for Mr. Chadwick, of • pro- 15 posed undertaking on the part of the official menag r, to 9 pay what may be found due to him from the company, on ;i4 his delivering up the book, and papers.

CASE OP MANSLAUGHTER AT BRISTOL.—A COCO ner's inquest at Bristol, just concluded, his resulted in a verdict of manslaughter under circumstances of a peculiar nature. It would se:m that on the night of Thursday last a trow called the Flower of the Severn, while lying at anchor in the river near Sea Mills. was run Into by • trading vessel rolled the Bristol Packet, and her mast being broken off it tell on • man named Stephen Aylmer, end killed him almost immediately. The circumstances under which the collision took place formed the priccipd Meters of inquiry, and the evidence in regard to it was of a conflicting nature. Oa the part of the people in the vow at was stated that they were keeping • proper wiveli, and saw a steam tug coming down the river at about midnight pulling down four or five vessels, among which was the Bristol Packet. Some of the viresels pipets!, and seeing the packet nearing them the cries of the trow hailed them, and called out to them to port their helm, and the deceased man, Aymer, held up a 'anthem as • signal, which be was in the act of dreg when the mast fell upon and killed him. Asians as the collision took plume a man jumped on board the trow from the pocket, and vid it was an unfortunate affair, but he was below at the time The eursman of the packet, on the contrary, depose-d that • man named Morgeo, who was the watch of that vessel, was looking oyer the bow, sad that the helm was ported es hard as possible. This man also stated that the captain was on deck at the time, a fact which the captain himself contra dicted. The jAry gave credence to the case of the trow and returned a von \ of " M anal& ughtor against Henry Mor gan", who was egt.mmitted to take his trial ter that offence.

THIS DAT. Two o'Ctocs. The settlement of the monthly account in the Cunsol market has formed the chief feature of business in the Stock Exchange to-day, and has led to rather more movement in prices than of late has been the case. Consols have been sold as low as 961 fur cash, but since the bulk of the accaunts has been arranged more firmness has been apparent, which feeling has been further strengthened by the news that the weekly board meeting at the Bank has broken up without making any alteration in the rate of discount. Console in consequence have rallied to their present quotation, which is 961 to for cash, and 961 for the 12th Feb. Tee prices of business in this stock are thus marked. Gisela for money, 961, a, a; ditto for the 12th Feb.,961, Business is marked in the Three per Cents. Itedue,cl at 971,1, 1 ; the New Three.and-a-Quarter per Cents. , 981, 4, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 71 South Sea Old Annuities, 96,1; Bank Stcck, 2141; India Stock, 268. In Exchequer Bills there have been extensive transactions, at 56.., 59a., 559., and 575. prem., fur all descriptions. Indian Bonds, 1,000/., mark 7:35. premium. The foreign stocks generally maintain late prices, though business in this department is still very in active. Mexican Bonds are to-day quoted ex the dividend of 21 .; transactions are marked at 33 to 3a. In Spanish stocks there is still no business offering, but prices appear steady, and the market does not seem materially affected by the telegraphic despatch published in the Di ily News of this morn ing, to the effect that the Spanish ministry has broken up, and that General Name z has taken his departure fur Bayonne. Further ad vices are anx'ously looked for, the present account being considered too vague to form the basis of ope rations. Toe list of actual transactions to-day is as follows : Belgian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents.. 90: ; Two-and-a-Halt per Cent. Dutch, 57: 58; ditto Four per Cent Certificates, 90 1, a.

It opened on the 11th nit. with Consols for the 16th January at 981 to 1, equivalent to 961 to 97 with the dividend off. The daily fluctuations of prices, as between the highest and lowest prices, are subjoined. The highest price during the period em braced in the account was 971, and the lowest, 96 t ; the extreme fluctuation is consequently about 1 per sot. . ...

The report and proceedings were of a highly satisfactory character, and are further to be noticed, as besides the usual dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, a bonus cf six shillings per snare, or at the rate of 1; per cent. per annum, was likewise declared. This is in pursuance of the pledge of the directors that the profits should be so divided when the reserved fund exceeded 100,0001., and which had been delayed for some time. On the 30th June this fund amounted to 111,183/., and its amount now is 100,1074, or 10 per cent. on the paid up capital of one million. This capital constitutes an ample security for the four mil lions of deposits and circular notes, and is virtually invested, together with the greater part of the re served fund in government stock and Exchequer bills. The total expetditure for the half-year for six esta blishments is set clown at 19,134/., which appears a very moderate sum. The progress of this establishment from its organi sation tinder Mr. Gilbert, has been attended with some interesting features. In 1834, its paid up capital was 182,2331., and its yearly profits 3,3401. ; in 1830 its paid up capital was 1,000,0001., and its yearly profits, 67,2621. Two years after its foundation its capital was materially,iecreased, and the development of its profits has likewise been very satisfactory. As early as 1839 they reached 48,098/. and continued in creasing until 1816, when they amounted to 72,1751. The later years, being a period of depression, have not equalled that amount. In sixteen years 720,0001. has been paid, as dividend and bonus, besides the creation of a reserved fund of 100,0001. The Imperial Brazilian Mining Association have received the chief c immissioner's report of the work ings, dated Banana), 3rd and 13th November, 18,50, from which we extract that the wheel bad gone to work en the 28th ult., and that all the machinery at 3 :0 2 so r 4 0 71 9 . S G S present is in good working order, and the suriice works are progressing satisfactorily. The produce for the last ten days had not been equal to expecta tions; the stopes both in the back of the 24, and bot tom of the 14, on the big pump vein, had been poor, owing to the vein being split in several parts and other else much disordered. A few boxes of work had been obtained from three places fcr the wash-house, but the produce had been only 1 lb. 8 oz. 2. &rte. In driving the 24 on Thomas's vein, nothing encouraging , had yet been developed, but they ho in a short rime to be working on this shoot of g ol d, both in the back of 24, and in the bottom cf Thome' shaft, Appearances at the edit level driving north of Wray's shaft have very much improved, the vein is of a promising character, and had lately produced some particles of gold when washed in the " flatea," and a discovery of importance may be exincted in this part of the mine ; the end is now within 30 fathoms of some old surface workings, and abut 90 from the large excavations mentioned in lust report; beyond this, and in the same direction, are the workings of Morro ass Alma., of which report speaks very favourably, but the old miners were obliged to aban don it, having sunk as deep as their limited power would allow them to go ; the present adit level if ex tended to his place, will be of immense &pit, and open a dry Mne of considerable magnitude.

SUNDAY TRADING IN BEIGIONDSET--A general meeting at the master hatchets of ads popst:oue district of the metropolir, to,,k place last evening, at I fv• !Leal Tavern, Beresondsf y square, for the purpo of taking into consider ation the pruisions of a bull a non. to be introduced into parliament, by Mr. Williams, M.l'. for Lambeth, the object of which is to suppress Sunday trading as ler se possible. Mr. J. Hayman presided, and sweet, that from communica tions which he bad had with shout 300 butehers, be was con vinced that they were almost to • man in favour of a mom which should enforce entire closing on the Sabbath. They well knew that if such a measure were pused it would have a most beneficial effect in preventing the working duets from wasting their money one Saturday night. The fealtof all Sabbath legislation hitherto wee, that it was imprac ticable—a character which would oo rear vet by Mr. Willsams's bill. lie then went through the douses. The bill had the merit of being very short and definite in its provision , . There are but 12 clauses. The first counties o general prohibition against selling, b ,wking, crying, or publicly t tiering ter exposing for rale in any shop, warehouse, market, thoroughfare, or other place within the metropolitan police district or the city or liberties of London, any goods, chattels, effects, matter, or thing whatever (the excepted liniCiti are afterwards stated.) The second clause continues tits existing statutes as to nevem, steam peekete, club houses, &n. Tao third takes away the responsibility at servants. The exempted articles are declared by the fourth clause to be: medicines or drugs for medicinal purposes; milk, before nine to the morning and after one in the afternoon; tea, coffee, ready-dressed food, or other refreshments, in any eedfee shop, &e., before ten in the morning and utter MO in the afternoon, or at any period of the day to lodgers or re sidents; meat or fish, before nine, between May and October ; fruit, pastry, &c , before nine and after one ; news men beret" ten and alter one; and cigars and tobacco after one.

FIRE.—On Saturday evening one of the most destructive fires which has occurred in Edinburgh for a considerable period broke net in the printing establishment at Clifford Park, of Mr. Thomas Nelson, tne well known publisher. The premises, which were only erected three or four years ago, consist of a handsome range of two story buildiesia, the eastern extremity of which is occupied, the ground floor as an engine house, and the upper story as a store for printed works, paper, &a. The fire originated in the engine holm referred to, hut what was the Immediate C 2060 cannot at present be ascertained, the men Waving all lett and the place being shut up some time previously. It was first discovered about 9 o'clock, when a dense volume of flame was observed, by a woman reeioing is the Deign bouzhood, issuing with great violence from one of the windows on the ground fiew. The alarm was immediately conveyed to the pollee dike, and Superintei.dent Oillespie, with four engine., was as soon as possible on the spot. By this time, however, the flames had reached the windows of the second story, in which, from the highly combustible nature of its contents, they were making fear. fel ravages. I' was at cm* *peanut that the total destruc tion of this portion of the bulling was inevitable, and the firemen therefore directed their efforts to the preservation of the rest of the premises, and the immediately contiguous property, comprising Hoy's court, Gifford-perk, &e. in this they were hip:illy succeraful, tor, though the fire raged with almost unabated intensity till nearly I ..m., four hours after its first dithovery, Its destructive effects were confined to the portion of the building its wtich it originated. The damage sustained in Ramis and property is, as nearly es can be at present estimated, between 2,0001. and 3.01,01, there having been probably not lees than 2,0001. worth of sheets, &c., ready for publication In the store in question at the demo( the oecarmece. We believe, however, that Mr. Nelson is insured in the Norwich-office to an extent which will fully cover all the lace which Lae been occasioned.— Caledonian Mercury.
