We have to import a decided improvement in our piece goods markets during the last few days, anal rates have ad vanced one or two an ass per piece for nearly all light makes of gray goods, with every prospect of a further advance 9,10,u1d the mail from England, now nearly due, bring, as is generally anticipated, favourable accounts of the raw staple at Liverpool. in the early part of the furtnigitt a few im porters sold largely at the low rates, of the last fortnight; latterly, however, they have.shown . increasing firmness, and during the last two or three days mast houses refuse to sell anything, except at a considerable advance, which dealers as yet are unwilling to give. A much better feeling has also become manifest in the native bazaar, where a larger busi ness is now in progress for the different up-country marts. The Marwarees especially, who have long kept aloof from our market, are now purchasing more freely of nearly all kinds of light goods. Bleached and printed fabrics are quiet, and unchanged in value, except plain Turkey reds, which are, if anything, a shade lower., In twist there is nothing doing. Metals are very dull. Iron is again lower in value, and alniost without inquiry. Copper hasrecovered a part of the recent decline, owing to a speculative demand I for the article.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCBA ; ..-1 with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual ilypochrondriasis, Translated from the German of Dr. PIT2, - KFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English r , aders by his frequent practical contributions to German 'medical 'literature. This is the first time, he informs us. tliat he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader, We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his Pow'',:r to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The eflil'or has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this 'distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scan d a l ous pract i ces of unqualified ad v 'aturers, who profess to cure a disease of which they Crow nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlicea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli- Winery chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; t the moderatd price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press. .461:, THE ARREST OF M. BISHOP AT NAPLES. _____ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I trust you will have the kindness to insert the accompanying letter from my brother, Mr. James Bishop, who has been arrested and confined in the prison at Naples on suspicion of conspiracy. I forbear any comment upon his letter, trusting that the insertion of it in your paper will in some mea sure obtain for him that justice which he has failed to receive alike from the hands of the!ltalian autho rities and the British Consul at Naples. The gross violence and i/boteeatment my brother (an afflicted man, without the smallest physical strength) sus tained at the hands of the former before he reached Naples speaks for itself. I should be greatly obliged by your insertion of this letter with that of my brother. I have the honour to enclose my card, and re main, your obedient servant, HENRY BISHOP, Lieut. 89th Reg t.

"I left Naples at 4 o'clock in the morning of the 2d inst., intending to go to Rome, and occupied the seat which is vacant for one passenger in the ' courier' which conveys the letters par terre, tra versing the route of Capua, Gaeta, and Terracina. At Gaeta I was asked for my passport, gave it, and received it back again without any remark being made. We continued our way till the carriage came to the Delegation, where it was stopped by four policemen, and I was forced out of the carriage, as they pretended to speak to the delegate. On going upstairs I found myself in a room occupied by a number of the police, and two young men who called themselves delegati. These were the same who had asked for my passport but a few moments be fore. I asked what they wanted, and what their motive could be in acting with such suspicion and roughness. The only answer I received was an order given to the police, who stood surrounding me, to search me and my luggage. I remonstrated, and showed my passport, which had the vise of the British Consul at Naples and that of the Roman Consul. " I was answered by a coarse laugh, and told to hold my tongue, for that I was a ' Swiss in disguise, and no British subject at all ' and that they, the two delegati, would teach the Government how to deal with all such reactionists.' The order was given to the police to search me. My things lay already strewn about the floor, where they were left. Nothing was found among them. They then proceeded to search my person, stripping me to my shirt, and forcing me to take off even my shoes and stockings. This lasted some time, I refusing to submit, and was held by four policemen, while the rest stripped me of my clothes. G 1 eat violence was used, and I was left completely exhausted, being in a very weak state of health, and told in the most insulting way to dress myself. _1 expostulated, threatened, and asked, but all to no purpose, except to bring a torrent of abuse and bad language. Nothing had been found appa rently to satisfy them, and there only remained my writing-desk, of which they had not found the key. They threatened to break it open if of my own accord I did not open it. I refused to do so, declaring that I preferred returning to Naples, or sending a telegraphic despatch to the Questura ' and my Consul, who would be able to satisfy them. They refused to listen, declar ing tnat they were the authorities of the place, and as for my Consul, I had none, for the Swiss were no longer tolerated in the kingdom, and I was one of the last to be sent away. " The courier then appeared, saying that he could not possibly wait any longer, and that if I were not ready to go on he must leave me behind. The two authorities answered for me, that I was detained by them, and could not continue my journey. I asked why, and was told that I had come with a false passport, and should be taken back to Naples. I protested, but in vain. The room was full of police, who prevented me from stirring hand or foot, for I was surrounded by them. " The courier was a Piedmontese, and said to me in German,—' But you speak German. I don't believe you can be an Englishman, for I heard yon talking German to your friend who accompanied you to the door of the carriage at Naples.' He then turned to the delegati, assuring them that I was either an Austrian or a Swiss. The paper was then given him allowing him to go without me. " I have since heard that this man had suspected me, from a remark my friend hal made to me before starting, and that as soon as we arrived at Capua he sent a telegram to Gaeta warning the police to have me searched. This man was a Garibaldist, and is called Matteo. " As soon as he had left, I was again attacked, to make me open my desk. Having many letters which had been given me by friends to take to Rome, I persisted in refusing to give the key, which they had not been able to find. I was called the most obscene names by the two authorities, one of whom declared that 'he would see whether I was an Englishman,' and challenged me to fight him. I began to doubt whether I was really in the hands of the authorities, and feared to have fallen into the hands of thieves dressed in the uniform of the police, as this is a means employed almost daily in the provinces ; but the Sardinian flag and cross removed my doubts, and just then the Under Prefect entered the room. A cabal ensued, in which I could not make myself heard, and all I could perceive was that the Prefect laughed a good deal, and then left the room. " The fellow who had challenged me then came up, and, haranguing me after the manner of a savage chief, told me that I had given the last proof of it, and an d h t o o would kno w teach the worth not b e i ng an E ng li s h m an by no t accept i ng hi s entrails respectb blood Italia challenge ; that I was a vile Royalist, h e was sure °y th - of thent ra ils to precious of Garibaldists such as his. My answer brought such a blow from his fist at my chest that I reeled back and fell over the chair which stood behind. Another man entered and poked his first under my chin, telling me it was all right ; I should soon be done for. Some time elapsed. They then agreed to telegraph to Naples, and after an hour, pretend ing that the answer had come giving th em plein pouvoir,' they called in some 10 men of the National Guard, the mayor and judge of the place, a n d or dered the police to search me again. I was then literally stripped to the skin, and again left to dress myself. The key of my desk was found; they opened it, and amid the most coarse and obscene language they began to search through the papers me to it contained. There were th re e letters given deliver to friends of some o f m y a cquaintan ces i n Naples, in which refe rence was ma de to the efforts they were making for the return of the King. In another wa s a detailed list of the forces throughout the kingdom, which were armed and in readiness to begin the general movement as soon as the King should approve it. Thcse forces amounted to 80,000 men. The rest of the papers were private letters, the greater part of which were from my mother. These were haulett-over with the rest, and because no one present understood English two Piedmontese officers were sent for from the town to see what these letters contained. After perusing them for some time both declared they were not written in English, but in what language they could not exactly tell, and the younger of the two turned to question me. " A savage yell burst from the crowd surrounding the table on which lay strewn my desk and papers, and I saw the " del4cato" holding up a photograph of my mother in Ode hand and a portrait of the King in the other, on the back of which was his signature. I tried to obtain them, driven as I was almost to madness by the ill-treatment J had re ceived, but was held back by two policemen, and my arms pinioned, while the operation continued. .The portrait of the King was then thrown with that of my mother on to the ground. Some pre tended to tread on them, and: the delegato' spoke out a sort of form implying that the King and all who followed him were the most infamous of crea tures, to which the whole company shouted 'Amen,'l and ' Viva Garibaldi !' " I was then taken guarded by ten policemen to the inn, where I was locked into a bed-room, two policemen being left with me during the night. It was 10 o'clock, p.m., when I reached the inn. I had not tasted food the whole day, and was almost fainting from exhaustion and the brutal treatment I had had to endure during the 11 hours I was de tained at the Delegagon. The master of the inn, who knoWS me well, liroUght me some Supper, and I went to bed, the policemen sitting beside me. I was not allowed to stir from my room the whole of the following day, being told that I must hold my self in readiness to go to Naples. At 4 o'clock p.m. they allowed me to telegraph to my Consul at Naples for the first time, begging his interference. I received no answer to this despatch. I was treated in the most shameful manner during the whole of this day by the police, who never left me, and was constantly assured of what the Piedmontese officer had menaced me with in their presence the preced ing evening—that I deserved to be hung, and that this would probably be my fate. I did not feel that my life was safe an instant, and if I had not been so strictly guarded I should have jumped out of the window and fled for safety. " On Friday morning, the 4th, I was forced to dress myself in a few minutes, and hurried away without being allowed to touch a morsel of any food whatever. In the carriage were two delegati, two policemen, and myself. There were four loaded guns and three revolvers. The carriage was accompanied by two mounted Carabineers. It was in this way that I was escorted back to Capua. I was there placed in a railway carriage, and arrived at N a pl es at 6 o'clock in the evening, having again been ob liged to pass a whole day without touching food. I attempted to drive to my consul, but was surrounded by two or three men dressed in plain clothes, whom I had not perceived before, one of whom &c., and I w said, a s half 'l n h t a h n e d e n d r h e a o f f f r t c h e e d , Q i n u t e o s tura,' the carriage, and the unknown speakers followed. Arrived at the Questura, I am bound to own that I was shown every attention possible, the Questor giving me his office to lie down in, and sending for some refreshment for me. I requested to go to my Consul's, b'it was refused. At the same time the Secretary-General went himself to inform the Consul of my arrival, and of my wish to see him. The Secretary returned alone, saying that the British Consul had not found it necessary to come himself; and, as regarded the papers, which should be opened by the Questor, he (the Consul) had said that the law should have its course.' Accordingly, witnesses being called, and the Ques tor having allowed me to name whomsoever I pleased for myself, the packet of papers taken from my desk was opened, the papers read, signed, and a proces verbal made of their contents. In this man ner the night of Friday was spent. I was cross examined, and refused to enlighten them upon what did not concern myself ; nevertheless numbers of arrests were made that night from mere suspicion, others from their names having been found written in my book of addresses; among these latter was that of an old doctor, who had been recommended to me three years ago when I was ill, but with whom I had certainly had nothing to do in politics, for I had never seen him since. This poor old man is now in the same prison with myself. " The following morning (Saturday) Mr. Turner, the Vice-Consul, came to me, heard my complaint, assured me that the Consul would protect me as well as any other British subject, and then left me. I have never seen the Consul at all, and the Vice- Consul only once. I remained at the Questura during Saturday and Sunday, and am bound to bear testimony to the great kindness and consideration shown me by all the officials, and the regret ex pressed by the Questor at being obliged to act against me. I was also informed that the British Consul had been asked whether he wished me to be placed in conditional liberty, he answering for me, as in this case the Questor would have no hesitation in doing so. The Consul answered that he could not take any part, and that the law must have its course. " Accordingly, on Monday morning, at 7 o'clock, I was conveyed from the Questura to the prison of Santa Maria Apparante. There, with all due re spect, I was placed in my cell, my hat being first taken from me and my things examined. I have not yet seen my Consul, and have no idea of what steps are being taken, or if any at all, either to hasten on my trial or procure my liberation. But as the Count de Cristen is in the same prison, where he has been detained nine months without ever be ing brought to trial, I have not much better to hope for. The injustice of the whole proceeding is ap parent ; the ill-treatment I have received monstrous. All proof against me is reduced to this,—that I car ried correspondence upon me which, if authentic, tended to subvert the present Government atNapl es- For letters written by others and given to me sealed up I am not answerable. There are no proofs what ever that I had taken any part in what comes un der the name of conspiracy, for lam alone, and have no associate, " At the same time, I am treated as a condemned criminal, and was for the first three nights obliged to sleep on the stone floor of my cell till I had ar ranged to have the necessary furniture of bed and chairs sent me from the town. " The situation of the prison is healthy, and I must own that the officials do not appear to do their duty with unnecessary rigour. They are respectful and well conducted. " My health is already beginning to suffer from the confinement, and would eventually, I feel sure, quite break down if I had to endure this life long. lam writing this in the night, as I should not be allowed to send what had not already been seen, either by the delegato here or the Questor of Naples. "JAMES p. BISHOF. " The Prison of Santa Maria Apparente, Naples, April 11." AN "AFFAIR OF HoNouß."—On Tuesday, early in the day, an information wes taken before Mr. O'Donnell, sitting magistrate, at the Capel-street Police Court, by Alexander Staples, brother of one of the parties concerned, to the following effect :—" That from information I have received, I have reasonable grounds to suspect, and do verily believe, that a hostile meeting is likely t o t a k e p l ace be tween my brother, Robert Hughes, and a man named Gerald Rochfort, and that arrangements have been made that the above-named parties aro to meet this evening in the neighbourhood of Clontarf, at 5 o'clock, for the purpose of fighting a duel _ " Acting on the information received, a warrant was immediately issued for the apprehension of the gentlemen who were about to encounter each other s ith such a deadly purpose, and at between three and four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day they were conveyed to Capel-street Police -offic e in a cab, and in the custody of a police officer. They were immediately brought before Mr. O'Donnell, who had not left the bench, and bound over to keep the peace, as well as to find sureties for their future conduct towards each other. The cause of quarrel did not transpire, but it is presumed there was a lady in the case,_-. .Dublin Mail. To-day the finishing stroke will be given to a work whieh has been in progress at the Mansion House for some Months, designed materially to en hance the interior splendour and convenience of the official residence of the Lord Mayor, and executed at a cost of some £2,000 to the corporation of Lon don. As the fabric, about 120 years old, was origi nally designed and completed under the supervision of Dance, the architect, that part of it located be tween the vestibule and the entrance to the Egyp tian Hall, and now called the saloon, was a sort of courtyard, quite open at the top to the weather, and that within living memory. Many years ago, however, the saloon was covered in with a horizon tal roof in glazed compartments, but this was always rather unsightly, at so low an elevation as to de tract from the character of the building, with which it had nothing in harmony, Mr. Cubitt, the present Lord Mayor, with other gentlemen connected with the corporation, had long desired to see an altera tion in that part of the structure, and the Court of Common Council having willingly voted a sum of £1,700 for the purpose, he has eheerfully put 'up for some time with the discomfort attendant upon the necessary works with a view to the convenience of those who shall succeed him in his office, and to the general internal embellishment of the official residence of the chief magistrate for the time being. A very elegant curved roof, with_ panels or compart ments of embossed glfiliil;doSigned by Mr. Bunning, the City architect, has been thrown over the saloon, supplanting the old flat ceiling, and some 10 or 12 feet higher. The effect has been to give a very im ir posing appearance to the interior of this part of the building, and most agreeably to light it up, pre serving at the same time a harmony with the gene ral character of the whole fabric. Simultaneously with this change the vestibule, saloon, and princi pal staircase have undergone a costly and tasteful process of embellishment, which for years past had been much wanted. Of these portions of the building, throught the whole interior, the ceiling, and the panelling and niches of the walls have been painted in fawn, white, and grey colours, blended with a profusion of gold etching, and presenting on the whole a very handsome appearance. For the first time these improvements will be seen by a portion of the public on Easter Monday, when the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress will give the customary banquet, which will he served in the Egyptian Hall. Within the last few days, how ever, the hall has been partly denuded of some of the finest pieces of sculpture which adorn it, eleven of the principal figures. having been removed to grace a department of the International Exhibition, including all the more recent ones by the most emi. nent ;of our native artists, in the production o: which the corporation have from time to time lavished large sums of money. THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 27th of March, and from Calcutta to the 18th of March. We take the following from the Bonzbay Gazette of the 27th of March : " The English mail of the 18th of February ar rived in Bombay on the 12th of March.

" The Government of India has sanctioned the construction of a line of telegraph between Agra and Deesa ; the expense of such portions of it as pass through Jeypoor, Ajmeer, and Mey war, being borne by the States benefitting by the same. This does not refer only to the expense of construction but to the permanent maintenance of the staff and material requisite to keep the line in working order. After the cost of construction has been defrayed, each State will be assessed at the annual rate ac cording to the importance to it of the line, or the benefits derivable therefrom.

Avot), intend to memorialise the local government on the subject, on the ground of great difficulties having been recently experienced by them in making proper entries of such notes in their account books. " His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of India and party arrived at Mooltan on the 24th of February, having ridden more than 700 miles in 17 days.

" Assistant-Surgeon Robinson Boustcad, of the Bombay Medical Establishment, has been cashiered. " The health of the town and island of Bombay improved slightly during the early port of the past fortnight, but has again slightly declined." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Times of India of March 27.) The London mail of the 18th ult, arrived at Bombay on the morning of the 12th inst., bringing telegraphic advices up the 26th ult. The commercial intelligence brought by this mail is of an encouraging nature, and has had a favour able influence on our markets generally. As we are still without our usual telegraphic news via Galle, per Calcutta degree of composure, and with devoted attention, the unremitting and kindly services, rendered by her spiritual adviser, the Rev. Mr. Cowan, chaplain of the prison. For several days after the sentence of death was pronounced upon. her Ate was com pletely prostrated, and seemed given up to utter hopelessness. The religious instruction communi cated to her has had, so far, a soothing -influence upon her mind. She has acknowledged her awful crime to the chaplain, and given minute details of its commission, all of which have been taken down in writing, and communicated to the sheriff, by whom the statement has been sent to the Lord Ad vocate, who will doubtless lay it before the Home Secretary. It is in effect as follows :—She states that she and her husband (who had been married ten years) lived happily together till they came to re side at Carpshad about two years ago. Some time after that, she says, the deceased Ann Hannah acquired a great influence over her husband, which caused differences between them, and originated in her mind a jealousy of the deceased. On the morning of the fatal occurrence she went to gather some sticks for fuel, .taking with her a rope , with which to tie them, when Ann Hannah seeing her . object cried, " Are you coming here to steal more of my sticks?" An altercation ensued, and blows were ' exchanged. Tho prisoner then ,returned to her house ; but, still heated with the quarrel, returned to Ann Hannah's house to give her a beating, but with no intention, she declares, of taking her life. The prisoner no sooner entered the kitchen than she was met by Ann Hannah, who gave her a violent kick with a clog above the knee, inflicting a severe wound, the scar of which is still visible. The fight was then renewed, blows being struck on either side; and, in the course ,of the battle, Ann Hannah struck the prisoner with a wooden mallet or beetle (and was thus the first, if this account be true, to use this formidable weapon, which figured so much at the trial). Ann Hannah having dropped the mallet, it was picked up by the prisoner, who struck the deceased a heavy blow with it on the side of the head, by which she was stunned, and in the frenzy of passion she followed up this blow with others. The prisoner positively affirms that the mallet was not hers, and was not taken by her to Ann Hannah's cottage.—Dumfries Standard. DREADFUL SUICIDE IN BLACKHEATH YUNIVEL. The following is a more detailed account of this attempt than has yet been given :—" The passen genera by the twelve o'clock down train from Lon don-bridge, soon after entering the long dark tunnel under Blackheath, were affrighted on Wednesday by the report of a pistol shot in one of the carriages, which reverberated along the vaulted roof with startling effect on the occupants of almost every carriage, many of whom imagined it to be some danger signal, and were in momentary expectation of a collision. On reaching the Charlton station it was discovered that a respectable:dressed man, apparently about fifty years of age, was crouching in a half recumbent posture in one corner of a third class carriage with a frightful wound over the right temple, which was bleeding copiously. The pistol was still firmly retained in his grasp, the contents having torn away a clear passage through the rim of his hat, passed through the occiput, and lodged, it is supposed, in the brain. Dr. Gatehouse was promptly in attendance, and, together with the stationmaster, accompanied the sufferer, who still survived, to Woolwich, where he was placed on a shutter and removed to one of the waiting-rooms. Two other passengers, a man and a woman, occupied seats in the same compartments, but they were unable to assist the inquiry, the place being at the time in utter darkness. It was ' ascertained by several documents found in his pockets that the sufferer's name and residence were as follow :—Henry C. Missing, draper and mercer, Waterloo-house, Tranquil-vale, Blackheath. A banker's memorandum-book, containing entries of money transactions and deposits at the London and Westminster Bank, 17s. in silver, and a return ticket from London to Blackheath, were found in his pockets, and on a leaf of his pocket book was written in a clear mercantile hand the following M y most beloved Wife—l am i n a peaceful state of mind this morning. My oppres sion is going off. I feel how blessed it must be to be at rest ; and where, surely, we shall meet again, to part no more. When I die—and I know not how soon that may be—l trust you will not grieve for me as one without hope. I know Christ came to save sinners, and into his hands I commend my soul. I cannot help rushes of despair, which have been on me so often of late. They are not to be got rid of. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away. 1 hope by one manner or another a decent maintenance will remain for you. H I live it must be otherwise, for my mind is utterly incapable of working out the bias towards a good result. Farewell, farewell ! God protect you, and forgive your distracted hus band !' Information of the event was telegraphed by the station-master at Woolwich Dockyard to Blackheath, and at half-past two the sufferer's wife and one of the neighbours arrived in a cab. It was, however, considered advisable that she should not be permitted to see her husband, who was still breathing but pulseless, and who survived till five minutes past three, when he expired, Dr. Gatehouse being constantly in attendance. It was stated at the time that the probable cause of the act was the withdrawal of his stock in trade, which he had held on commission, and a want of confidence on the part of the mercantile house in London, where, it was supposed, he had that morning made a last and successful attempt to redeem his credit." ANOTHER FATAL ROCK OIL ACCIDENT.—An in quest was held a few days since at the Court-house, Neigh' ley, before Mr. Thomas Brown, coroner, on the death of William Gill, a retired factory operative, whose death was caused by the ignition of some American oil which was being stored for use at Mr. Sugden's mill. IVilliam Bar rett, of Keighley, factory operative, deposol,—On Fri• (lay week, at night, I was in the cellar of Mr. Sugde'n's old mill, in Keighley. I had taken in some yarn. Two young men took a cask into an adjoining room. I Was told it was oil. They pumped it out into a cistern. I had closed the room I was in. I wen t through the room w h ere the oil wan. The men had a li^;lited lamp. T won t to l oo k at the oil, which th e y said was like water, taking the lamp in my Ltad. When I h a d got within about 2 y ar d s o f th e oil it exploded and burst into a flame, reaching the top of the room. One of the young men ran for an engine. I ran for wet sheets. when I came back the cistern had been pulled ov er . The oil covered the floor. I saw the deceased come out of the room sadly burnt about the face. Mr. Angus Cameron, of Keighley, surgeon, said—l was called to see the deceased on the evening of last Friday week. He was very severely burnt in the face, neck, and hands. I saw little hope of his recovery. I continued to attend him till his death. He died from the effects of burning. The jury returned a verdict, that " Deceased died from accidental burning from the ignition and burning of a quantity of rock oil." The jury recommended that great care should be taken in using this oil or storing it in an =purified state. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OP THE BATH T.HEAT.RE BY FIRE. The beautiful theatre, which was one of the orna ments of the City of Bath, and which since its erec tion in 1805 has contributed so much to the reputa- ion of the city as a place of amusement by the excellence of the dramatic representations constantly presented, was yesterday (Good Friday) totally de stroyed by fire. It was built at a cost of about 1:2,000, and was regarded as one of the, if not the most ecu.x.ipact and elegant of provincial theatres. 'The present lessee is Mr. Chute, who is also the lessee of the Bristol Theatre, and the last perform 'ance was on Wednesday - last, when the sensation drama, " Peep o' Day," was splendidly presented. No business had been subsequenti7 transacted, but on Thursday the chimneys were ali swept, and charwoman was in the theatre cleaning v. When she left all appeared safe, and it was not until shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning that smoke was first seen by a woman living in the vicinity issuing through one of the windows,which turned out to be the window of one of the dressing rooms. An alarm was given, and the police with the city hose, and the firemen of the West of Eng land Insurance Office, were speedily upon the spot. Five hoses were attached to the city water plugs and a copious supply of water obtained, but so rapidly had the flames spread throughout the building that in a few minutes the whole theatre was a cauldron of fire. The flames burst through the windows with terrific fury, and it seemed for a time certain that a large amount of property surrounding it must destroyed. The contents of the houses were removed, and the greatest consternation prevailed amongst the inhabitants, but by strenuous exertidns the flames were confined to the theatre itself, the strong walls of which resisted their further pro gress. So rapid were the flames and intense the heat that everything within the theatre, even to the, iron pillars that supported the tiers of boxes and gallery, were consumed or muted in less than two hours, and the place was a bare ruin—a well of burning embers—which continued to blaze and fizz under the copious streams of fire poured on them. ' Had the fire occurred at night the conflagration must have been terrible, as the police and firemen could not have cut off the communications with other buildings. The building was,insured in the West of England and Norwich Union Offices for about £6,000, but this is wholly inadequate to its value. Besides, the magnificent wardrobe and valu able library were utterly consumed. Mr. Chute, the lessee, who is not insured, loses about £5OO, and =em b e rs of the company and the orchestra are also fire. The origin of the fire is a mys d were visibly affected. t s e ne . r e ri.rb.ayna Mrs. Charles Kean viewed the con flagration 2.HE NEW BOTTLE ,TRICK. Clever as Frikel is acknowledged to be in his art, it is to be doubted whether he has not lately been surpassed, at least in one part of his per formance—the bottle trick. How this wonderful act; has just been capped may be briefly told: Within the last week or two the inhabitants of Denmark hill have been favoured with the visit of an indivi dual, who under the pretence of acting honestly, has enriched himself at the expense of the householders. The plan pursued by this person is to call early in the morning, while the family are at their matuti nal meal, and to hand to the servant who opens the door a letter, which upon being read turns out to ht a circular, to the effect that C. Baker gives above the average price for old bottles. The consequence naturally follows that Paterfamilias advises Mater familias " to get rid of all their old bottles, especi ally as the price offered is so tempting." The fellow is told ho can have what he desires. Upon this he says he will call at 12 o'clock to give time to make the necessary arrangements. Accordingly at the ap- I pointed hour he arrives, and surveys the quantity of glass bristling in the hall, and declares that by will have a large amount to pay, but stillsving he will I cheerfully mak e th e disbursement, h require ment for an immense quantity of bott les. He then goes on to s t a t e th a t his cart being in the nei g h.. bourhood, taking away somebody else's store of old bottles, he should like to purchase some old clothes, boots, and indeed anything of madam. She at length ; the offer for t c h om e t p h li i e n s g , an s thdursape rsoadekuscetdhebewinagrdrroidb i e culously small, it is refused, but o n'the man of glass and brass deli cately observing that unless th e t r i fling sum be ac cepted he gill not take the large qu an tity o f b o ttles the controller of the household gives way. •Mr. C. Baker then stows away in capacious bags coats, gown s, trowsers, bonnets, boots, jackets, frocks, collars, waistcoats, shirts, and hot or articles of wear enough to supply the wants of Australia, New Zea land, or Vancouver's Island in clothing for a consi derable period. He at agreed upon when the stun promised for the bottles was taken into consideration, at the same time in a tradesman-like manner insisting that he always liked to settle upon the completion of a transaction. The next stage in the proceedings is to get rid of any men or boys there may be by begging them to procure him as much straw as possible for the pack ing of the bottles. During their absence the nvin rashes to the door to call an imaginary Jack to bring the cart, but; as the mphical gentleman does not answer, Mr. C. Baker then tells Materfamilies he will look after man and cart. It is perhaps un necessary to name that the researches of the adven turer become so extensive that lie is never se en again, unlike other conjurors, in the same place. As his visits, therefore, have recently been confined to the sweet south, the inhabitants of north, east, and west would do well to be fully alive, when the rival of the evil magiciao, who cried "New lamps fur old" in the "Arabian Nights," is amongs them, to " preparation" for—the bottle trick.
