THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1861. . - GREAT FIRS ON SAFFRON HILL.-!THIS DAY.II SHIRE LIST ; This (Thursday) morning, shortly after 3 o'clock, a very serious fire broke out on the premises of Mr. King, the extensive timber and mahogany merchant, of Saffron hill. The inflammable nature of the materials contained in the pal enabled the fire to make great progress, and within • quarter of an hour the whole of the frost of the extensive range of Mr. King's premises facing Victoria-street wax in flames, aml fell to the ground with • terrific crash. The premises of Mr. Jacobs, clothier, as the right, and of Mr. Gorton, wardrobe dealer, on the left hoed, then beams • prey ; and in a short time Mr. Jacobs'. house was completely burnt through ; hut from the exertions of the police and fire-escape men, the inmates, fourteen in nu:oyr, were rescued in safety. The engines having arrived were speedily got into play, and with the powerful assistance of the steam-engine from Watliog street, copious stream+ of water were thrown upon the pre raises. Notwithstanding this, however, the flames continued to spread, and the roof of the extensive workshops of Messrs. Abbora and Hopwood, bladders and sewer contractors, of Iflesdieg Heart-yard, were reaclied. In a few minutes the domes again shut forth with redoubled fury, and the whole of the premoies in question, together with their valuableeentents and the dwelling-house of Messrs. Abbott sod Hopwood, were severely damaged. A report was rife that seven persons had been burnt in one of the many small dwelling houses abutting on the back Of the premises, hut upon inquiry this rumour proved unfounded. It was pitiable to see the in habitants of this poor and densely populated neighbour hood making their escape, with such few things as they roukl collect, axed some of them almost in • state of nudity. It is believed that Mr. King is insured, but not to ►s amount sudieient to cover the damage ; as are also Mmes. Abbott and Hopwood, who have other extensive workshops at Holloway, where they can carry on their business opera tines. The origin of the fire is unknown, but from the ra pidity with which it spread it is believed to have been smouldering for acme considerable time. The following is the official report of Yr. Braidwood : " Nos. 138, 139, and 140, Betiros•hfl—O. Wag, timber merchant : Burned down. Castes*. lamed in the Went. minder ; building, in the San once.

There is no fea ture of interest in any department of the Stock Ex change, but a vague feeling of anxiety seems to have been occasioned by the statement from Paris of a concentration of Russian troops on the Pruth— a statement which requires confirmation. English railway stocks, in some instances, have declined per cent. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 27}c., being 1-16 per cent. worse than yester day. Consols are officially marked 91i and 921 for money, and 92 for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 92 both for money and the 9th of May. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 233, 2341; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901,1 ; New Three per Cents., 901, 1 ; Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 151 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1021, 102 ; ditto Four per Cent. Deben tures, 1858, 961; ditto Bonds, 16s. dis. ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. dia., par. The Turkish loan of 1858 is supported at the im provement which took place yesterday afternoon, being quoted 54 to 1. In the morning, however, tran sactions were recorded at 541. The Loan of 1858 is rather flatter, at 70/ to lex div. In other re spect' the foreign stock market is almost with ' out business. Sales are recorded as follows : Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 64 (exchange, 128.) ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, for account, 461 i ; Russian Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 91i ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 541. At a meeting to-day of the creditors of Messrs. Cook and Greenwood,wine merchants, the liabilities were estimated at 14,8601., and the assets at 6,8371. A show of hands was in favour of the acceptance of a composition of 7s. 6d. in the pound, but several creglitors spoke in favour of bankruptcy proceedings owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the trading. FOUR O'CLOCK: Consols are quoted 92 to 92k, both for money and the account, showing an improvement of * per cent. since 2 o'clock. At the Bank and in Lombard-street yesterday the demand for money was quiet. Good bills can be placed readily at 4} to per cent. The Stock Exchange will probably be closed on Wednesday next, the Ist of May, according to custom, that being the day fixed for striking the half-yearly balance at the Bank of England, where the transfer offices will be shut. About 31,0001. in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. The recent advance in the price of silver having attracted a supply from the Continent in excess of the demand on mercantile account, for the outward Bombay packet, the market is flatter, and the quo tation for bars has receded to se. lid. per ounce. The Liverpool cotton market continues rather active. The sales yesterday reached 15,000 bales. Priem were firm. A telegram from Shanghae says :—" Settlements, silk, 2,100 bales. Imports dulL Silk scarce. Total exports, 73,000. Exchange, Ss. 4d" The advices from Canton, dated March 16, report " Tea dull. Total exports, 74,703,000 lbs. Ex change, 4s. Bd." We learn that an arrangement has recently been concluded between the English and Turkish government& of considerable financial importance to the Turkish empire, and calculated material y to improve the position of English holders of Turkish bonds. The Porte having formally consented to adopt a system of thorough reform in its finan cial administration, at the instance of our ambassa dor, Sir Henry Buiwer, has now further assented that the improvements contemplated shall be car ried out in concert with agents appointed by our government. Two English commissioners are ac cordingly en route to Constantinople for this pur pose. Turkey has hitherto kept faith with her creditors, and her undeveloped resources are im mense. These considerations will tend to increase the interest with which the bondholders will watch the result of the effurta now in progress for her relief at the point where relief is most needed. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 169/. ; the Great Northern a decrease of 1,3201. ; the London and North West ern an increase of 8001. ; and the South Western an increase of 1,254/. It is understood that the forthcoming return of the Lancashire and York shire Railway Company will show an increase of about 1,0001. The traffic on the 1,004 miles of the South Austrian line of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway Companyfor the week ending April 15 was 49,3711., being 26,3511. more than in the corresponding week of 1860, on 687 miles ; and that on the Lombardo- Venetian line, 4,8051., showing an increase of 817/. The Liverpool and New Orleans Steam Naviga tion Company (Limited) is announced. The oh lject of this undertaking is expressed in its title. There are numerous lines of steam communication between Liverpool and various American points, but none between Liverpool and New Orleans, which may be regarded as the two great ocean Inmini of the cotton movement. It is proposed to try if steam vessels will not supplant sailing vessels on this route, now that the desire of the Southern States to establish a direct connexion with Europe, independent of the porteof the Northern Con federation, has shown itself so strongly. The traffic arising from passengers and manufactured goods between Europe and the Mississippi and its tribu taries occupies, apparently, a prundueut place in the coompany's programme. Finally, stress is laid upon the stimulus which will probably be given to the southern trade by the comparatively liberal tariff in force there. No appeal is made to the speculative appetite, for the shares are of 501. each, and no application will be received unless accompa nied by a deposit of 51. per share, which, it in pro vided, shall be returned in full if the company is not established. The capital in the first instance is fixed at 200,000/. Respectable names are attached to the project. The following circular has just been issued by the directors of the Great Ship Company : The Great Ship Company (Limited), 90, Cannon street, Loudon, E.C. April tt. Sir,—The decision of the Court of aommon Pleas, con- Wary to the unanimous opinion of the Court of Queen's Bosch, in tho ca r.° of Mr. John Scott Russell's claim, ren ders it necessary to be prepared to lodge about 19,0001. in court before en appeal !wiriest that decision (with stay of execution meanwhile) is likely to in entertained. The directors think it all important to be thus prepared, so as to prevert delay in the sailing of the ship for New York on the lit May next. It is proposed to raise the sum of 35,000/. on debentures at six months, bearing interest at WOOD per mot. per annum, with which to pay off the present mortgage, and deposit the amount of Mr. Russell's verdict, or to settle with him amicably if possible. The debentures to he further secured by. a mortgage on the ship (with policy of insurance), to be given to two responsible penous in trust few the respective debenture-Colder.. The directors, and others, have already subscribed for about 17,0001.. so that only 18,0001. remains to be provided ; and I am instructed by the directors to request that you will favour me with an immediate reply, stating the amount of such debentures for which you are willing to subscribe. —I am, &c.

THR ROCHDALE Okra Cans —There was another " sone" in the Rochdale County Court yesterday, in the case of Maden and Wife against Catenacb. The case was a revival of the old cam • but from what transpired at the trial it appeared th at the plaintiffs estimated the value of the piano which they sought to recover at • higher rate than in the former instance, is order, as the judge said, to obtain the hams of as appeal. The same incident, however, occurred as at the previous case. Mrs. Madan said abe did not believe in a God, nor in • future state of rewards and punishments, and consequently the plaintiffs ease was diamiseed. The peculiarity of this trial was, however, that Mrs. Haden was sworn on what is legally termed the weer dirt—that is, literally translated, to see what aim would say," whether, after the oath she had taken, she believed in the obligation of an oath. Mr. Craulurd, M.P., appeared for the plaintiffs. iiiwouLaw. Pxzwounwow.—ln boring for cod midway between Wakefield and Pontermet, at a depth el 140 yards, a strong smell of sulphur was perceived, impreg nating the water that bubbled up in the boring bole. The water soon reached the surface, and has been now for about a fortnight boiling, or rather (for it is only wane) buhhhng furiously, and on applying • lighted paper the sulphur blares up through the water to the height of three or y four feet, presenting the appearance of "snap-dragon ' on a large scale, the boring hole being about five feet square. it is estimated that • depth of 100 yards will still have to be bored before the earl is reached, bat how long it may he before operations can be resumed remains to be seen. hun dreds of people have visited and are continually visiting the spot, the ph e nomenon, unprecedented as it would seem, being an object of general interest in the neighbourhood.

The owe having ham fully heard, the court p rono unced judgment declaring that M•Robins had been guilty of contempt ; but, considering that. he had already undergone six months' imprisonment, and that there were other mitigating circumetanoes in the ease, they would not inflict any further punishment on liim, but lowly make an order directing him to pay the meta incurred by Mrs. Sherwood in the proceedings.
