Boston, July 13, say, " The United States': revenue elitter, William Appleton, Lieutenant -Commander Ra.n dolp 11, arrived at Key West on the 26th ult., from a cruise to the south-east coast of Florida. Shebrings the mate and one seamen of the schooner Enterprise, of New Orleans, lost e Bth ink ,on Hilllsboro' inlet. The men are charged With the murder of Capt. Moriantes, and the robbery of his i all n, h ,S 7 and with runiung the vessel on shore, after throw -fit,,tte caPtain overboard. They say the vessel was bound ' ta vatma to Carthagena, and that she was to bring a ''ltrgo of Indians who wore to be sold as slaves on their ar -1:lival at Il a y aua ,; that when off Hillsboro' Captain Mori intee accidentally fell overboard, and while they were en eavearing to raise him the schooner struck; that they, et finding the vessel would be a wreck, were obliged to abandon the captain to his fate ; and that after getting the Moveables from the vessel on shore, they broke open the eaPtain's runk, took the specie, and divided it equally along them. Afterwards they launched the longboat, 411411 hilled her with a sail, provisioned her, and set sail down the coast. At Jupiter inlet they saw the United States Schooner Delaware, and were taken on board. To Cap tain Owen they said nothing about the robbery of the Money, but told the story of the captain's death and the Z: lee rs loss. One of Captain Owen's crew discovered a th e heavily loaded with money upon the person of one of 46 men, and revealed the fact. They were not ar teetted until Lieutenant Randolph came up with his cutter, 4.,_./vnell ho Doane gave them into his charge excepting "vo, who, fearing that they were suspected of crime, had at night taken their boat and made their escape. There are level'al very suspicious circumstances about the affair, which *sad the authorities here to believe that murder as well as robbery has been committed. Commissioner Brown has had anexarnination and commtited them for trial. Lieutenant Randolph searched the men a ft er the arrest, and found over 1,000 dols., in gold secreted upon them. The two who escaped have gone up the west coast, and will no doubt be oyerhauletl, as the cutter is on their track."

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 18b9, LAW INTL'. THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT, A NOVEL ATTACHMENT.-lIAMMOND V. POLLINGER. This was a judgment summons which had been adjourned to enable defendant to do something for the plaintiff. Mr. Buchanan said that, unfortunately, defendant had bean unable to do anything. Defendant had informed him (Mr. Buchanan) that a Mr. Pattison had recovered a large sum of money for defendant. His Honour (to plaintiff)—You should go to Mr. Patti son and get a charge upon this money. Plaintiff—l have been, and I have been informed that no money has been recovered for defendant. I was treated very coolly. His Honour—We heard nothing of this money on the last occasion. Defendant is committed for 40 days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Michael Collins, John Johnson, and Wm. Smith, three determined-looking fel lows, were charged before Mr. Beadon with assault, and stealing a purse, containing some silver, from the person of Mrs. Mary Ann Slade, an elderly lady residing at Acton, Middlesex. The prosecutrix, who is very infirm, said that on the previous afternoon she was passing along Oxford-street when the prisoner Johnson pushed against her with great violence, which act was repeated by the others, causing her nearly to fall to the ground, and at the same moment she missed her purse containing some silver. The purse pro duced was the same. Abel Dickens, 306 A, said he saw the prisoner, who was running at the stop of his speed, fall in the road in conse quence of coming in collision with an omnibus. He went to his assistance, thinking it was an accident, and offered to assist him to a pump to cleanse himself from the mud, when he very gratefully declined his offer, saying he did not wish to " trouble him," and he was about leaving him when a person came up and said he was concerned in a robbery, and was escaping. The whole of the prisoners were then taken into custody. Cording, 126 C, produced the purse found in the area of 414, Oxford-street. Wm. Thorp, 7, Queen-street, Grosvenor-square, said he saw Johnson throw something away in Oxford-street. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoners. THAMES. SANGUINARY ArrßAY.—Thomas Murray, a seaman, who presented a frightful appearance, and Thomas Smith, a notorious and desperate thief, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Charles James Childs, a police constable, No. 193 H. The parties appeared to have been engaged in a terrible conflict. The constable was in a weakly condition from loss of blood, and his head was bandaged. Murray was put into the dock with nothing on but his shirt and trousers, which were covered with blood, His head was also en veloped in surgical plaisters. It appeared from the evidence of the constable that Murray was very much intoxicated last night, in Back Church-lane. He consumed a quan tity of oysters at a stall, and then refused to pay for them. A mob got about him, and he went from place to place making a disturbance, and striking at every one he met. He begged of the sailor to go home and he refused to do so. He took the seaman into custody and he went quietly some distance, and then suddenly began kicking and plunging and struck witness and kicked him several times. A violent struggle took place, in the midst of which the other prisoner, Smith, came up, jumped upon him, and, as he was getting up, kicked him on the eye, and inflicted a severe wound. He received other kicks and blows and was disabled. Other policemen came up and took the prisoners into custody. Mr. Selfe—How did Murray get his head broken? Childs—He was extremely violent in the station-house, and assaulted several persons. A police sergeant who was injured struck him with a walkingstick. Smith is a thief, and he threatened to serve me out on Sunday night when I prevented him from committing a robbery. He belongs to a lawless gang of thieves. Mr. Thomas Hall, of No. 16, Eastcheap, confirmed the statement of Childs as to the occurrences of last night, and he said that in assisting Childs be was robbed of his watch. Mr. Selfe fined' Murray £3, which was paid, and sentenced Smith to one month's imprisonment, and also ordered that he should find sureties to keep the peace. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT ST.

PRIVATE BUSINESS—LONDON CITY GAS BILL. Sir W. CUBITT having withdrawn bis opposition to the further progress of this bill, it was, after a few words from Col. FRENCH, read a third time and passed. The Pneumatic Despatch Company Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. INIAN MUTINY. Mr. ROEBUCK pres Dented a petition from Calcutta praying for indemnity for losses sustained in consequence of the late mutiny in India, and gave notice that to-morrow he should call attention to the statements contained in the petition, and move that it be printed with the votes. After the presentation of several petitions on various subjects, the house resolved itself into committee on the SALMON FISHERY BILL. On clause 1 being proposed, Mr. HOPWOOD suggested that as the bill contained many important provisions, it ought to .receive full consi deration, which would be impossible during the present session. He therefore suggested that the bill should be postponed. Col. W. PATTEN concurred in the suggestion, and added that it would be desirable that the provisions of the measure should be considered by a select committee, with a view to amend the laws relating not only to the taking, but to the sale of salmon out of season. The suggestion was adopted, and the Chairman having left the chair, the bill was dropped. RAILWAY COMPANIES ARBITRATION mi d,. On the motion of Col. W. PATTEN tb;s bill went tt irouol committee, and was reported without amendmente„ IMPRISONMENT FOR . Q.:4ALL DEW.: S BILL. The house having gone ire committee OP- this hill, Mr. COLLIER, who Lad introduced -the measure, ex plained that he did. not seek to interfere with the existing law relating to debtor and creditor, or with the jurisdiction of county courts, as was supposed by the writers of certain letters in the public journals; but his object was simply to enact that no commitments should in future be made with out hearing, as was now the practice. At present there was a difference of opinion among the county court judges on the provisions of the existing eAntute, some of them holding that they have power to corn .. it a debtor to prison who does not appear on a judgment s ons, awl without inquiry; others entertain the opinion hat they are bound to hear the debtor before they commit him to prison. A return moved for last year by the Attorney-General showed that last year no less than 8,000 persons had been committed on judgment summonses. It must be remembered that these imprisonments did not discharge the debts, but was in tended as a punishment for not obeying the orders of the court. In some cases at Durham, for instance, the persons so committed were treated as felons. A letter from the governor of Carlisle gaol showed him that he had received into his custody two girls so committed, one for a debt of £1 fis, fid. and the oth er f or ll s. 10d. The writer added that he }lad one old man who had been committed seven times for a debt of £9, and had been in custody at various times for twelvemonths, a longer imprisonment than he would have been sentenced to if he had stolen the money. These were real cases of cruelty, and the object of this bill was to remove the only stigma on county courts, and to render them a popular source of the administration of justice. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was of opinion that those county court judges who adopted the practice of com mitment without inquiry had put a wrong construction on the act. This construction had been adopted by thirteen or fourteen out of the sixty county court judges, and there fore he thought the public was indebted to his hon. and learned friend for having introduced this measure. The first section of the bill had received the approbation of the ma • jority of the county court judges; but with regard to the second clause of the bill they were of opinion that it would tend to upset altogether the system of credit now in opera tion with the labouring classes, and would be productive of much misery to that class in times when employment was scarce, owing to the fluctuations in trade, and therefore its enactment would be impolitic. This was set forth in the report of the standing committee of the County Court Judges, which had been formed at the instance of the late Lord Chancellor (Lord Chelmsford), with a view to ex amine and inquire into the operation of the County Court Act, and the provisions of the bill now under consideration. The report was worthy of consideration, and he trusted would induce the house to be of opinion that it would be impolitic to interfere with the law at present in force, with respect to credit for small amounts. When the committee came to the second clause he hoped these considerations would not be lost sight of. Mr. HENLEY observed that the commitment without inquiry was in pcenam, and in the nature of a criminal pro cedure. It never could be intended that a man for a small debt should be committed time after time without inquiry. Re therefore supported the first clause, which would set at rest this system which operated so cruelly upon the poorer classes. There ought to be but one remand when fraud was proved, as was the practice of the Insolvent Court, and not commitments ad infinitum. Mr. CLIVE said that his experienite as a County Court Judge had led him to believe that none but fraudulent debtors were ever committed. He, however, concurred with his hon. and learned friend the Solicitor-General, with re spect to tht3 first clause of the bill, which he thought to be unobjectionable. With respect to the second clause it was not yet under consideration. Mr. PAGET expressed his fears that an attempt to do a great right would effect a serious evil upon the working classes, by such an enactment as that which the second clause would carry , out. He should therefore move " that the chairman do now leave the chair." Mr. E. JAMES could not believe that the stability of the system of credit would be endangered by the abolition of imprisonment for debt. That fallacy had been exploded by the committee which sat on the question of the abolition of arrest on mesne process, and experience had shown that credit had not been endangered by the abolition of arrest for debt under £2O. He supported the bill, and trusted that some limit would be put to the terms of imprisonment ordered by County Court judges. Major STEWART drew attention to the fact that in his county the majority of county court com m it men t s were f or debts incurred with hawkers who travelled the country, and induced wives to take their wares unknown to their husbands. He knew many instances in which, for debts incurred with these hawkers, young females, under 19 years of age have been committed for several terms. He therefore hoped that this bill would receive the sanction of the Legis lature. Mr. AYRTON called upon the hon. member for Not tingham (Mr. Paget) to withdraw his amendment and to allow the bill to proceed. The house could not better occupy its time than by the consideration of this measure. Mr. HODGKINSON objected to the change in the law proposed by this bill, and supported the amendment moved by the hon. member for Nottingham. Mr. PAUL concurred in the views enunciated by the hon. and learned gentleman the Under. Secretary for the Home Department (Mr. Clive), and hoped the committee would be allowed to proceed with the bill. Sir G. C. LEWIS thought the committee was in a position to proceed with This measure, and seemed to be disposed to do so. He would, therefore, join in the suggestion that the amendment ought to be withdrawn, and the committee allowed to go on seriatum with the clauses of the bill. He denied that the system of imprisonment originated with the present county-court judges, but the practice had been im ported by some of the county-court judges who had been judges of the old Courts of Request. Mr. PAOET withdrew his amendment, and the clause was agreed to, as was also the preamble, and the bill was ordered to be reported without amendments. HIGH SHERIFFS' EXPENSES BILL. On the question that this bill be now committed, Mr. WISE moved as an amendment that 'f the house resolved itself committee on this bill on this day three months." [LEFT SPEAKING.] ELECTION COMMITTEES. —(This Day.) The trial of election petitions was proceeded with to-day in a number of the committee-rooms of the House of Com- mons. In the Wakefield committee it was decided that William Henry Latham, the late member was, by his agents, guilty of bribery ; that he was not duly returned, and that the last election was void. In the Dartmouth committee the sitting member, Mr. Schenley, withdrew from the contest, but Mr. Slade, the counsel for the petitioner, Sir T. Herbert, proposed to go into details, to show that bribery had been committed during the election. The room was ordered to be cleared to consider the question. On the public being re-admitted, The Chairman announced that the committee had de cided to go on with the inquiry. Mr. Slade then proceeded to prove the committal of bri bery during the election. In the Ashburton, Gloucester, Huddersfield, and Ayles bury committees no decision had been given up to the time of our going to press. A " SMASHING" LEAP. —A gentleman of Bever ley was out for his morning ride last Saturday morn ing on one of his hunters, when, on passing a pot-stall in the Market-place, he asked the proprietor " how much for a leap?" "A penny, sir, and payment for the broken pots." The rider (who is a thorough English sportsman of true game, and who has figured in many a welter race and frequently been one of the selected few "nn at the death" after many a gallant run), immediately pt his thorough. bred at the crockery establishment, and, nothing daunted, charged it in a regular steeplechase style, but the animal jumping short with his hind legs, caught thenapp er y ware, and fractured about a sovereign's worth. A bill for the amount was speedily sent to the gentleman, and as speedily and cheerfully discharged. Yorkshire Gazette. POSTAL SUBSIDIES, &C. (CANADA).—Copies of the address from both branches of the Legislature of Canada to her 'Majesty relative to postal subsidies and the inter colonial railway ; and of the correspondence between the delegates from Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia and her Majesty's Government relative to the interedlonial railway from Halifax to Quebec, have been printed on the motion of Mr. Wyld, M.P. These appeals of the colonists of British North America were answered by the then Colo nial Secretary, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, on Christmas-eve, NM Sir Bulwer, referring to the proposal that some Im perial aid should be granted towards the completion of " an intercolonial railroad" from Halifax to Quebec, remarked that the project was regarded by the Home Government " with the best wishes," but that, having respect to the necessity of not unduly increasing the public burdens at this moment, they (the Home Government) could not ac cede to the said proposal, whi c h was re j ec t e d accordingly. THE SONS OP BURNS.—Lieut.-Col. Burns and Colonel Burns, sons of the celebrated Scottish peet, accom panied by their niece, Miss Burns, hive qrrived at the seat of G.

The weekly number was below a thousand in June, till near the end of the month ; it then rose above a thousand; in the-first week of July it was 1226, in the following week th e number was 1400, and last week it rose to 1605. The mean temperature of the air in June was 61.4 deg. : in three weeks of July it has been i 69.1. deg. An increase in the heat of nearly 8 deg. acting in connection with other circumstances that are necessarily unfavourable to health, has been attended by an increase of 600 in the deaths. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last week was 1064 ; but as the deaths included in the pre sent return occurred in a population which has in- , creased, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, nair,r' i ," with 1170. The result of the comparison f ''- n . "' n '' ' usually unfavourable as regards the present time, for the 1605 deaths of last week exceeded the number which the average rate of would have p ro d uce d . mortality On refer ring to the causes of death y 4 35 is found under diarrhoea, the cleat- 'the increase rose last we e k to 415, a Ir .

A- large majority of the fatal cases, as was shown in former returns; are amongst infants, 381 out of the whole number in the present return having occurred to children who were not two years old. Of the remaining 34, 10 occurred to children more advanced, only 4 between the ages 10 and 60 years, and 20 at 60 years and upwards. Besides the deaths from diarrhoea, 39 were returned as caused by cholera, choleraic diarrhoea, &c., 9 of which were the deaths of adults. Scarlatina was fatal in 48 cases, diptheria in 8. Four deaths were recorded in the previous week as the result of the unusual heat ; last week eight of a like description were returned thus :—A boy, aged 6 years, died on the 14th inst. in Islington, from congestion of the brain and convulsions, from heat of the sun (12 h ours ' ill ness) ; a girl, aged 9 years, on the 13th, from convulsions and symptoms of cholera, brought on by exposure to heat; a brick maker's labourer, aged 21 years, on the 16th, at Rockhill, Sydenham, from sun-stroke, congestion of the brain ; a sugar-baker, aged 32 years, on the 11th, in Whitechapel, from congestion of the brain produced by heat and labour ; another sugar-baker, aged 34 years, on the 18th, in the London Hospital, suddenly from sun-stroke; a solicitor, aged 77 years, on the 17th, natural decay, accelerated by the ex cessive heat of the weather; a man, aged 68 years on the 20th, from natural decay, and debility from the heat of the weather (10 days) ; and a weaver, aged 46 years, at 36, New York-street, Bethnal green, on the 18th July, from coup de soleil from working in a f ac t ory w i t h a glass roof. With re ference to this last case the deputy coroner states that the medical evidence was conclusive that the sun's rays produced inflammation and congestion of the brain, and coma. Last week the births of 855 boys and 748 girls, in all 1,603 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the average number was 1,491. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.756 in. The mean temperature was 69 deg., which is 7.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day except Saturday ; and on Sunday and Monday the excess was about 12 deg. On Monday the thermo meter in the shade reached 93 deg., and in the sun 115.2 deg. On the same day the thermometer in the shade fell to 56.7 deg., the lowest point in the week. The entire range of temperature of that day, and also of the week, was 36.3 deg. ,The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 73.9 deg., or nearly 4 deg. above that of the air. The wind was generally in the south-west. Rain fell to the amount of 2.15 in., more than half of it on Thursday. THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. It is one of the disadvantages of a country which stands on the defensive that it must always be ready for war, while its enemy may choose his own time. The dangers which threaten the peaceful communities of Europe are far more serious than the chance of a war at a certain period and for a limited time. If we knew that at a particular date—say, three years hence— we should be at war with any Power, there would be no difficulty in preparing for it without any ex haustion of our resources. This is, indeed, the ad vantage of an aggressive State ; it can choose its year, even its month, and it knows how much ven geance or glory it can afford to buy with the funds at its disposal. It also knows that whenever it chooses it can obtain peace, since its victims, how ever unjustly att ac k e d , will be naturally willing to put a stop to hostilities which are draining them of men and treasure and deranging the concerns of peaceful industry. But the case of the threatened State is widely different. This must be at all times ready for the danger which a week may bring forth. It must watch the movements of its adversary, con tinually strengthen its resources, and adopt every improvement in the art of warfare without delay and without regard to cost. This lesson we have learnt long, and it is continually repeated, as each year brings forth new means of offensive or defen sive war, or shows how novel tactics act upon the issue of a struggle. One principal matter of im portance is the preparation of rifled cannon. The Armstrong gun will, no doubt, be an astonishing weapon ; but as yet we have only one or two speci mens of it. The works are only in course of erec tion, all the machinery has to be brought into order, and the utmost that we are promised is a hundred Armstrong guns by the end of the year. Even this promise is hardly likely to be kept. On the other hand, thousands of Armstrong guns will be required for our ships, our fortresses, and - for service in the field. The construction of these must be the work of several years. In the meantime what is going on across the Channel ? " The most noticeable feature in the Arsenal," writes our Marseilles correspondent, " is the effort made to provide rifled ordnance for the Navy. The system which appears to be defini tively adopted consists of three grooves about three inches broad and an eighth of an inch deep, with a twist of one-sixth." ;These guns are being supplied rapidly to the French line-of-battle ships. It would certainly seem but a prudent step to make use of the guns we have as supplemental to the " Arm strongs," which must be comparatively few in number for the next two or three years. There are, we believe, no less than 7,000 smooth-bored guns now lying at Woolwich Arsenal. To rifle a part of these would be an easy and, comparatively, an inexpensive work. If beyond the puwers of the Government establishments, the work might be distributed among the various factories in our great towns, and by the end of the year large numbers of rifled guns might be fit for use.—Times. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. THE KINSALE RIOTS. The military investigation into these disgraceful riots is now proceeding at the Cork barracks, the civil inquiry, for the information of Government, having taken place at Kinsale. Until the whole inquiry is completed, it would be manifestly unfair to pronounce any opinion upon the conduct of the parties implicated. In a few days, however, the public will be enabled to judge whether the local papers or the noble colonel of the Antrim Artillery have exaggerated the extent or insignificance of the affair.

LIFE IN THE LONDON DOCKS. The most fearful scene that has probably ever occurred within the London Docks since their open ing happened yesterday forenoon., and was attended with the loss of one life, a 'serious destruction of property, and almost fatal ..r, o n se ,of 50 persons—firemen P.:nd dock servants, lishment it From the best infor quences to upwards !nation that could be. 'obtained from the officials ao:a othera engaged in ihe estab on o'clock yesterdi appears that between nine and ten to a peonij a some of the men em ployed,iy morning of the the Aast Quay had-their attention called sound, proceeding from the south end 8 -°...ern brandy vaults. At first it was ima gined „ ° clot a portion of the arch of the vaults had fa'-iP,n upon some of the casks, and thereby caused th r .i unusual noise. Mr. Chandler, the principal ma nager of that department, was at once communi cated with, and that gentleman promptly attended with a strong body of labourers and the firemen of the docks. Upon opening the doors it at -once be came manifest that a fire, and one of no little magni tude, was raging amongst the brandy stored away in this part of the premises. It should be here stated that this portion of the property covered between 10 and 11 acres of ground, forming fonr distinct compartments of cellarage, separated by party walls and double iron doors. In these four departments were deposited many thousand " pieces" of brandy, and when the exist ence of the fire became known in the immediate neighbourhood the most fearful apprehensions pre vailed amongst the many hundred poor persons liv ing near, lest such an enormous quantity of spirits should become ignited, and blow up the whole of the vaults. Fortunately such did not occur; if it had, the work of devastation unquestionably must have been carried amongst the shipping in the basin, and also into the many houses outside the walls of the docks. Nevertheless, from the dense vapour emitted it was quite manifest to all present that the flames had obtained possession of no inconsiderable portion of brandy casks, and all the engines stationed at the different entrances to the various warehouses, as well as the hands employed, were summoned to the place, and the company's power ful floating engine was also drawn to the the basin. The hose of the different land engines were dropped into the basin, and the machines were called into operation, as well as the float, but the difficulty which then presented itself was, how was any one connected with the docks able to carry the hose under the arches, so as to be able to distribute the water upon the exact scene of the conflagra tion. Many made attempts to get to the spot where the flames had commenced, but they were obliged to return very quickly almost exhausted. Intelli gence of the disaster having been forwarded - to the London fire brigade, in the course of a few minutes the engines from Wellclose-square, School-house lane, Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, Farringdon stree, Holborn, Crown-street, Chandos-street, and the two powerful steam floats, reached the spot under the direction of Mr. Fogo and Mr. Hender son, the chief officers of the A and D districts, and Engineers Bridges, Maidman, Holloway, Perryer, and a great number of other officers. This power ful force at once went to the assistance of those con nected with the docks. The first thing sought to be accomplished was to do what the local firemen were unable to effect, and for that purpose the dif ferent hose from the two steam floats 'and. several land engines were taken into the long range of vaults. The moment the water was discharged, the most serious part of the day's proceedings com menced, for all of a sudden a cry was raised, " A man off the float in the water." This unfortunate man it seems had gone on the dock-floating engine to assist in working it, but by some means he lost his balance and fell into the water. The drags were at once obtained, and whilst the men were dragging for the poor fellow, a still more fearful scene happened. Mr. Fogo, and Mr. Henderson, with about twenty of the fire brigade and some thirty of the dock hands, went into the cellars for the purpose of reaching the fire, when they were struck down by the heated vapour and became insensible. For the space of a few minutes it was feared that the whole of that first number of men had perished, when the brigade lamps were lighted, and others were sent down to render assistance ; but the mo ment they reached the vaults, so strong was the vapour that the lights in their lamps Were extin guished; the men were thus left in total darkness, and it was impossible to tell in what portions of the cellars they were owing to the vast accumulation of vapour. The patent smoke jacket was then sent for, but owing to the narrowness of the passages between the rows of casks of bmndy, it could not be used, and ropes were obliged. to be dropped into the vaults, and the firemen arid others, with the assistance of those not so muc'a exhausted, assisted in hauling the men out. They were taken at once to a couple of sheds, where Dr. Brown, the brigade medical officer, and nearly 20 of the local medical gentlemen, attended and did all that was possible to restore the unfortv.nate sufferers—and, fortu nately, their labours were crowned with success, but the different persons suffer still from excessive pains in the head, though nothing fatal is appre hended from inhaling the heated vapour. The body of the man viho fell off the dock-float was found in about 7 in mutes. It was placed in a warm. bath, but owing to the poisonous nature of the water into whic)a he had fallen, life was ettinct. The deceased, it, was understood, was named Jacob Mar rit, and Nve,s employed in one of the warehouses of the docks. The fire brigade, and also the dock firemen, kept to their worn, and many thousand gallons of water were thrown amongst the brandy casks, but, in spite of th. 7 .s, the conflagration could not be said to be entirely extinguished until late in the afternoon, when the vapour had so far cleared off that the firenaeia were enabled to enter and examine the place, when they found that about 50 casks of brandy had been 'destroyed, and a great number of other cases of brandy severely damaged, many of the casks having the wooden hoops burned • off, and being kept together only by . the iron ban darges. The spirit contained in these, it is hrardly necessary to state, must have been greatly deteriorated in value, for to such a height did the heat rise that even the bungs were driven out of the barrels by the force of the fermentation. The official report describes the damage done as follows :—" The stock of brandy in three arches destroyed, and the goods in another partly con sum ed. ' It is unknown at present in what offices the pro perty was insured. The police rendered essential aid by keeping the crowd out of danger. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LIVERPOOL. A fearful conflagration, resulting in the destruc tion of the huge mills situated on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at the north end of this town, occurred yesterday afternoon. This is the second time the same building and its contents have been totally destroyed. The first oc casion was on the 17th of May, 1853, when it was used as a cotton mill. The loss on that occasion was estimated at £102,000. The building was since then rebuilt as a rice and flour mill, and was of great extent. I:i shape it was cruciform, eight stories in height, and after presenting a long frontage to the bank of the canal, extended back the same height for a conside rable distance. Attached to the mill are ranges of offices and a series of terraced cottages four stories high, erected for the use of the work-people. The fire was first discovered about half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon and hose afternoon, and the alarm w a s imme, diately given. Expr esses were instantly sent to the fire-engine stati ons, and engines were promptly br oug h t to the scene of the con flagration ; but b e t ween the time of the discovery of the fire and th e i r arrival the devouring element had made such rapid progress that the whole mill was in a blaze. The, character of the building and the nature of its contents—grain and rice—all con spired to hasten the catastrophe. Within an hour and three-quartera, of the mill itself only por ti ons of the outer wall s ' were standing, and from their immense height, great fears were entertained that they would giv e way. The canal furnished a plentiful supply of waster, and:the engines, aided by the hose attached to fhe mains in the street, were mainly directed 'w save the offices and houses of the work people. The :e has not as yet been time for investigation, as tt i c contents of the different stories are blazing fief cely piled 'upon the ground within what of the vialls are standing; but there is no doubt what ever that several lives have been lost. Many have been bruised severely, and were conveyed to the hospital. Nothing, as yet, has transpfred as to the origin of the fire, but it is presumed to have, commenced in the lower portion of the mill, for t'ae work-people were seen, in their efforts to esca pe, jumping and dropping from the windows thre , ... and four stories high.
