A further sum of £115,000 in gold was sent into the Bank !:.o-day, making an aggregate of £281,000 since the last return, whilst during the same period only 25,000 sovereigns are known to have been withdrawn. An instalment of 20 per cent. falls due to-morrow on the second issue of the Egyptian loan for £1,097,600 stock. The foreign exchanges to-day, except a decline in the rate on Vienna corresponding with the im provement telegraphed from that city, were with out alteration of importance. The following sums have been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the New Granada Dividend Funds, viz.: Santa Marta, £1,813 ss. 3d.; Cartagena, £274 12s. 7d. ; Saba nil!a, £lB2 1 ls. 6d.—total, £2,270 9s. 4d. Official advices from Caraccas state that the con• tract entered into by Senor Nadal on behalf of the the Venezuelan Government with Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., for the 6 per cent. loan of one million, has been accepted in its integrity by the Government, who only awaited the arrival of Mr. Mocatta, commmissioner from Messrs. Baring and Co., to complete the operation. Mr. Mocatta arrived at La Guayra two days prior to the departure of the mail. The issuing price of this loan, which is secured by special Customs' dues, was 63, and the amount already paid upon it is 15 per Gent. On the Ist of November another instalment of 18 per cent. (less a half-yearly dividend of 13 per cent.) will become due. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Thfl demand for discount accommodation is still actively maintained, a larger business being negotiable at the Bank of England as well as in the general market, but owing to the abundant supplies and the prcspect of increased plethora when the quarterly dividends are paid, bankers and brokers, although generally asking 2 per cent. for the bills they negotiate are disposed in exceptional cases to grant accommodation at per cent. lower. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and about 2-10ths per cent. nigher here than in Hamburg. The dividend warrants of the Pennsylvania C-ntr:2l Railroad Bonds are annouaced for pay ment. The traffic returns of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 19th ult., amounted to £11,436, against £8,321 in 1861. Two O'CLOCK. OL , ly a small amount of business has been nego tiated in the English Stock Market to day, but the recent advance is firmly maintained, and the tendency still appears favourable, although the de mand for stock on speculative account, but also for investment, is still exceedingly limited. Consols are quoted 9311 I for money and the Bth inst., and 93/ I- for the November. The New 3 per Cents. are steady at 921 ; the Reduced at 921; Exchequer Bias, June, at 19i. to 225. prem ; ditto, March, 16s. to 198. prem. India 5 per Cent. Loan is firm at 1081. In the Foreign Market the principal features ha ve been the buoyaney of Turkish Securities. The 6 per Cents. of 1854 have improved to 86 87; ditto 1858, to 691; ditto New Loan.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings con tinue limited, and in some instances prices have exhibited rather less firmness. Brightons and Midlands have receded about 55., and Great Westerns and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s. North-Westerns, however, have improved ss, and Great Northern A Stock 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines are a shade firmer. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have im proved to 221 ; ; Great Luxemburg to 14-2 t-; Grand Trunk of Canada to 21-1 ; and East Ind'an to 10624. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares con tinue dull with-)ut any material change in values.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about i -10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4 tsi per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5/ per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Dlirt price is, therefore, nearly 2-lfths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' si74 - lit is 128 to 129 per cent., and the premium on got lis about 17 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE WORST LADY'S HABlT.—Crinoline, and the sooner she throws off the habit the better.—Punch.

The Belgian journals give some details respect. ing the destruction of the theatre of Namur. It appears that the building might easily I have been saved had there had been a regular body of firemen, as when the alarm was given the fire had scarcely taken hold of the roof ; but a much time was lost before the engines could be got to work, that the whole building WM in a blaze, and all efforts were melees. _ .~._._ SHARE MARKET-THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Hazlit and Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IMPORTANT TO BANKRUPTS.-IN RE HAZARD. The bankrupt was a printer is Garlick-hill, and this was an adjourned last examination. The preliminary part of the business was taken before Mr. Registrar Hazlit, when Mr. H. Harris, for the assignees, complained that although three menthe had elapsed since the bankruptcy no accounts had been filed. The accountants, Messrs. Paul and Turner, having refused to do so until their charges were paid: Mr. Hazlit said he saw no other course than to adjourn the examination sine die. _ _ Mr.' Stansfeld, the official assignee, said that if the bankrupt had gone to his office, they would have put him in the way to make out his accounts, as they were said to be very plain. Mr. Paul was sent for and declined to file. The matter was then referred to the Commissioner, who ultimately said he would never sanction the appointment of an accountant who impeded the business of the court. Mr. Paul said that he had been engaged by the bank rupt's son. His Honour—You made your awn bargain and must abide by it. 1 will not have accountants playiog with the court, putting the estate to great expense and the court to great inconvenience. If the accounts are not filed, the official assignee will render the bankrupt assistance and throw you overboard. His Honour then granted a short adjournment. POLICE-TITIS DAY. MANSION-HOUSE. THE SUSPECTED WIPE MURDER.—This morning the prisoners Gardiner and Humbler were placed at the bar, on remand, both charged with being implicated in the death of Mrs. Gardiner, the wife of the first-named prisoner. The body of the ; oor woman, it will be recollected, was found in her apartments, in Northumberland-alley, death having been occasioned by a desperate wound in the throat. The female prisoner (Humbler) was servant to Gardiner, between whom, it was alleged, there had been an improper intimacy. No further evidence having been offered, Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, who appeared for Gardiner, ap plied for a remand, in order to afford him an opportunity of going through the evidence taken on the first examination of his client, and also that adduced at the coroner's inquest, in order that ho might be in a position to cross-examine the witnesses on the next occasion, whereby a very different complexion might be put on the melancholy affair. He did not see that any objection could be made to the application, as both prisoners had been committed by the coroner to take their trial for wilful murder. The application was granted. A street musician named Kift was charged with causing the death of his wife, by kicking her violently in the abdo men, The prisoner was remanded, to await the result of a post mortem examination. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY AT A TAVERN.—Wm.ne; a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with burglariously entering the house of Mr. Nind (proprietor of the Hotel de Provence) numbered 18, Leicester.square, but situated at 18, Bear street, and stealing a quantity of cigars, &c. John Hacker, 104 C, said that about three this morning, while passing along Bear-street, Leicester-square, he found on trying the door of the public-house, the tap be longing to the Hotel de Provence, it gave way. He went into the house, and saw the prisoner standing in front of the bar, and on asking him what he was doing, he said it was all right, and that they were going to bed. He told the prisoner he must see about that, and called some other constables to his assistance, and then roused the inmates, who were asleep in the back parlour. He then searched the place, and found at the prisoner's feet a box of cigars, and in his pockets 64 more. On asking the prisoner how he got into the place he replied, " Oh, over the fanlight," which at the time was open. Ann Roberts, barmaid to Mr. Nind, said she fastened the doors all safely at a quarter past 12 last night, and heard nothing further till the constable came in a little before four o'clock. She then found the articles produced, which had been removed from a high shelf in the bar, tied up in a bundle. To get at the things prisoner must have stood on a sofa. Prisoner had also removed a new umbrella and left an old one in its place. In answer to questions the witness said the articles were the property of Mr. Nind, but her sister, Mrs. Kohler, had the management of the place. She knew prisoner by sight. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked prisoner if he wished to say any thing, and he replied in the negative. The prisoner was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. CRUEL ROBBERY. - Caroline Lightfoot, a well-dressed woman, was placed at the bar charged with robbing George Payne, of 99, Great Peter's street, Westminster, of a cash-box containing £45, and a great. number of ocher articles. £5O PLATE.

MARK LANE, Prosecutor said that on the Ist of last month, his wife went to Ramsgate, previous to which she engaged the prisoner to come in and perform the requisite menial offie,s during her absence. On the 4th he had occasion to go to Barnet; Fair, and on the following day he missed 45 sove reigns from a cash-box kept in his bedroom. Prisoner had been there on the previous day. She was afterwards missed and seen nothing of until apprehended yesterday. Mr. Paynter—Was everything in the box taken ? Prosecutor—No, there were bank notes to a similar amount left. Mr. Paynter—They were untouched. Prosecutor—They were in the bottom of the box amongst some papers, and I suppose escaped notice. Mr. Paynter—ls anything discovered respecting the mis sing gold. Prosecutor—Nothing. But there is a great many other things traced to her which have been stolen from my house. Mrs. Mary Ann Payne said on her return to London she missed three sheets, a quantity of other linen, and articles of wearing apparel. A pawnbroker produced several articles. 12f xd Prisoner—l don't deny taking these things of course ; but other people had access to the money. I never took it, Mrs. Payne—The woman has used us very cruelly and ungratefully. She came to me with scarcely a bit of clothing to her back and said:she had been deserted by her husband, who had gone off with another woman. I took compassion on her and gave her a cotton gown and other things, and employed her as a charwoman, and now you see she is dressed in silk, and I have no doubt out of our money. Mr. Paynter—How did you get the tickets of the articles in pawn. Policeman—They were given to me by a man with whom the prisoner had been on terms of intimacy. Mr. Paynter—The prisoner is remanded for a week. SPORTING-THIS DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. NEWMARKET RACES.-THIS DAY. Wild Rose Amy Carisbrook Welcome Fresh up to Mark Lrne, this mo ning, the arrivals of English wheat were small, and in poor condition. For all qualities, however, the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations of 2s. per quarter. There was a good show of foreign wheats on the stands. Good and fine qualities were in moderate retail demand, at late rates, otherwise, the trade was dull, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late currencies. The barley trade was very dull, and prices were Is, to 2s. per quarter lower than on Friday last. The supply on offer, however, was small. In malt a fair business was transacted, at full quotations. Oats, notwithstanding that the show of samples was very moderate, moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Beans and peas were dull, and dropping in value. The best flour was tolerably firm in price, but inferior qualities were very difficult of sale. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English.— 1,320 130 I 169 340 sack .

Love, the superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, with wanton and unnecessary cruelty to sheep under his care. The evidence was gone into on a former day be fore Mr. Selfe, who then expressed himself very strongly on the folly as well as cruelty of striking sheep under any circumstances whatever. The evidence of George Choice and George Young, officers of the Royal Society, proved that the prisoner was driving a quantity of sheep along Duke-street, Whitechapel, and was thrashing them on the head as he went along. One sheep was struck three times on the head with a stick. Particles of wool flew from the sheep when they were struck. A sheep was knocked down by the prisoner, and when it got up it was struck again. It also appeared that repeated complaints had been made to Mr. Love of the cruelty of the drovers of cattle and sheep landed at the wharves, and Choice and Young had been specially appointed, at the re quest of numerous respectable persons, to the particu lar duty of watching the drovers on the way from the wharves to the fairs and cattle markets. The prisoner, in defence, said that he only pushed the sheep to prevent their getting into the shops, and that one of them fell unper a cart, and he gave it a poke to get it up again. The officers were recalled, and said the prisoner beat the sheep, and struck them on the head. The prisoner now called William High, a butcher, who j said that with regard to the sheep in charge of Spencer he I had a few words with the Royal Society's officers, and just shoved the sheep along. IV hen the prisoner touched the sheep with his stick he could not have hurt a fly. Mr. Woolrych—l differ with you. That stick would hurt something more than a fly The prisoner's master said—Spencer has worked for me seven years. He is a kind-hearted, honest, and industrious young man. Mr. Woolrych—A very flattering character certainly. I have heard the evidence that was given before my colleague, and I differ with you about his being kind-hearted. There is some evidence of unnecessary cruelty to the sheep, an animal that requires no beating. I fine the prisoner 10s. NINE TIMES SEVEN.—There are some who be lieve that for man generally the number of the years of dis cretion has been wrongly settled by the mystical arithmetic ; that three times three is the right multiple of seven; a nd that man properly comes of age when he i s sixty-three. In the number s i x t y - three, observe the s i x no d three, which, when added together, make n ine, the complete number of the mu ses, b ut w h en sub tracted one from the other , will make three, the number of the grace s; you cannot get the muses. Whether you add, subtract, multiply, or divide, for them, they will not come . For are not the graces led by youth, and the muses by ex perience ? I nheritance of property ou com ing of age would obviously be pref era bl e un d er the rule of nine times seven. For whil e it wou ld o b l i ge men whose ancest ors have thriven, to live by their own energy in years when a man ought to do so , it wou ld se cure them a comfortable provision for th e d a y s o f age , i n case they failed, or a well - timed, addition to th e f ru it s o f their labour.—Adconss , , AR the Year Bound." BOROUGH HOP. Good and fine new, including well-kept old, hops are in steady request, at extreme rates. Other kinds are a slow sale, yet no change in prices. WHITECHAPEL.

SHOCKING AFFAIR AT KIRKHAM. A dreadful affair occurred at Kirkham, near Preston, on Sunday night. It appears that a party of Irish harvest men went to the Swan Inn, where they had something to drink. About 11 o'clock they became very noisy, and the landlord, Mr. Henry Rawcliffe, expressed his desire to clear the house. He asked the men to go, but they refused. He then seized one of them, named Garrety, who seemed to be the worst, and got him into the lobby, but was unable to eject him. Subsequently he went to the door, and gave an alarm with a dog whistle. This brought a policeman named Fletcher to his assistance, who tried to get the men away, but he could not do so. The• officer then went out and whistled, and Sergeant Lofthouse came up, and Garrety was apprehended. The other Irishmen then turned out of the house. A man named James Cain, his wife, and Patrick Cain, their nephew, tried, but ineffectually, to rescue Garrety, who was taken to the lock-up. The three Cains then ran away, but was pursued by the police. Whilst the officers were thus engaged, they were informed that Rawcliffe, the land lord, had been killed. They then went to the Swan, where they found Rawcliffe almost dead, and attended by two surgeons. It appears that after the officers had left, the door of the Swan Inn was immediately closed, and Raw cliffe and his eldest daughter, a girl 15 years of age, went into an upper room, with a view to see what was going on in the street. At that time the crowd in front of the door had gone away, and Rawcliffe was about leaving the window. His daughter had gone just before ; but she had not proceeded very far before she heard a great crash, and, on looking round, observed her father with his head near the window. She went up to him, when, to her horror, she found that a poker had been driven into his eye. It had been hurled at him from the street. She did her utmost to extract the poker, but her efforts were ineffectual. She immediately raised an alarm, and several neighbours came in. Rawcliffe was found lying on a chair near the window bleeding profusely, and with the poker still protruding from his right eye. A man named Smith tried to pull out the poker, but for some time his efforts proved vain. At length he placed the unfortu nate man's head between his knees, and then it required all his force to extract the poker. Of course Rawcliffe was quite insensible. Two medical men were sent for; but Rawcliffe died an hour afterwards. The p ker had entered under the lower lid of the eye, and had thence passed into the brain. Yesterday Garrety and the three Coins were brought be fore the Kirkham magistrates. Garrety was committed for two months for assaulting the police, and the others were remanded until Thursday. Yesterday the inquest was opened, and after some formal evidence had been given, the inquiry was adjourned until Monday next. At present nothing definite is known as to who threw the poker at deceased. A correspondent writes that after the hearing of the case at the Police-court, the landlady of the Caine volunteered a statement to the effect that on Sunday night James Cain ran into her house and seized a poker, swearing that he would have somebody's life, or some one should have his, that night; that he took the poker out with him a few minutes before the landlord was struck.

THE GLASGOW MURDER. A great meeting was held in the City Hall, Glasgow, on Monday eveniikr, to petition the Home Secretary for a respite of Jessie M'Lachlan. An hour before the time announced for the commencement of the business, the hail was crowded in every part, and hundreds had to go away unable to gain admittance. Couneillor Clark was called to the chair, and told the meeting it was intended to forward the petition that night to London, in order that it might be presented to Sir G. Grey yesterday. The following memo rial to Sir G. Grey was unanimously adopted : " That in the case of Jessie M'lntosh or M'Lachlan, who is at present confined in the prison of Glasgow under sen tence of death, your memorialists respectfully submit, "Ist. That the evidence adduced at the trial W as entirely circumstantial, and was not such as to clear up many doubtful and obscure points that deeply affect the solution of this important case. "2d. That an extraordinary and exoeptional character had been given to the case by a declaration read by the prisoner's counsel after the verdict was returned, which declaration purports to be a true statement of the prisoner's connection with the crime, and is affirmed to have been made by her to her agents on the 13th day of August last, before she had any information as to the evidence to be adduced against her,—which declaration was not made use of in the prisoner's defence. " 3d. That from the circumstances in which the declara tion was made, the nature of the declaration itself, and the painful excitement created on the subject, it appears to your memorialists to be imperatively necessary for the interests of justice and the satisfaction of the public mind, that there be a special investigation into the whole matter. " 4th. That, in the meantime, a respite of the sentence be granted, and upon the above inquiry being made, tLat the Crown be graciously pleased to interpose further in the case, as the ends of justice may appear to demand. " And your memorialists, as in duty bound, shall ever pray." The Forth British Daily Mail says :—" The Crown officials in Edinburgh, having taken into consideration what has transpired since the return of the verdict in the case of Mrs. M'Lachlan, have issued a warrant to the Sheriff here, directing that a strict official investigation be made into all the circumstances which have since come to light. This warrant has just been received, and already the Sheriff's officials are bestirring themselves to give it due effect." The truth of this statement, which was published in a late edition on Monday was disputed, and the flail therefore gives the following particulars : Yesterday the Lord Advocate arrived in Glasgow a little before mid-day, and had a consultation with the Sheriff's officials, including the Procurators-Fiscal, Messrs, Hart and Gemmel. The upshot of this consultation was, that a warrant or order was given for a private official precogni• tion to be made by the Sheriff and his Fiscal, of all who can throw any light on the case, and who were not examined as witnesses at the late trial. Accordingly, yesterday after noon summonses were issued to about a dozen witnesses, including Mary Black, Miss Dykes, the three young women (the Misses Brown), Mr. Stewart, Sandyford-place, and others, calling upon them to appear this morning, before the Sheriff, at the County-buildings. The following are the terms of the summons : "Room No. To -. You are hereby summoned to compear before the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, within the Pro curator-Fiscals' office, County-buildings, Brunswick-street, Glasgow, one stair up, on Tuesday, the 30th day of Sep tember current, at nine o'clock forenoon, to be examined as a witness in the case of Jessie M'lntosh or M'Lachlan, and that under the penalty of one hundred merks Scots." It may not be out of place here to correct a popular error. According to the constitution of this country, no person who has been examined as a Crown witness can be after wards charged with the crime regarding which he has given evidence. At the same time, if it be found that a person has given testimony inconstent with truth on the trial, he may be indicted for perjury. The condemned criminal continues much in her former state of mind. Some imprudent person, however, we un derstand, has informed her of the efforts being made to get for her a respite, and it seems she is sanguine of their suc cess. Her husband brought her child into the prison on Saturday, when it may well be imagined a most harrowing scene took place. The Caledonian Mercury says:—" It is currently in m6ured in the city, and believed to be true, that Lord Dees has received a missive from Sir G. Grey, requesting his attendance in London in reference to the Glasgow murder trial, and that his lordship has left to consult with the Home Secretary." MURDER IN THE COUNTY GALWAY.—TuAM, Monday Evening.—l regret to inform you that a most hor rible tragedy was enacted yesterday, at the Weir Village, within about a mile and a half of this town, involving the sacrifice of human life under circumstances of a most re volting and unnatural character. An old, man named Qualter, upwards of 70 years of age, quite blind and infirm, was found lying dead in his house, about three o'clock p.m., with his skull fearfully fractured and several other marks upon the body, which leave no doubt whatever of his having met with an awful and violent death. An old hatchet stained with blood was found in the room near the corpse. Suspicion having strongly pointed to some of the imme diate members of deceased's family who lived with him, and consisted of two sons, two daughters, and a daughter-in law, the police arrested the whole party, who were brought into town and underwent a preliminary examination, at 12 o'clock to-day before Mr. Redmond, R M., who has re manded them, pending the result of the coroner's inquest, which will commence to-morrow. Rumours are rife of occasional bickdrings and dispute regarding the possessio n of the old man's holding, in which one of the sons ar_Ct his wife were principally concerned, and various str;ries are afloat; but to those it is unnecessary to advilrt any further at present. —Dublin Freeman.

FINED £lo.—At the Aberdare Police court, last week, Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P., was sum moned at the instance of the Inspector of Mines, Mr. Evans, for that ho did not comply with the tenth general rule of the act of Parliament, 23d and 24th Vict. cap. 151, which enacts that no single-linked chain shall be used for lower• ing or raising persons in any working pit or shaft. The offence was admitted on behalf of Mr. Bailey, and in miti gation Mr. James said everything was now being done to carry out the provisions of the law. The magistrates fined defendant £lO and costs.—Bristol Mercury. The Vienna Gazette announces considerable re ductions in the effective of the Austrian army—infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

A PRIZE FIGHT PREVENTED.—lnformation haying been received by the police authorities at Wool wich that a prize fight would take place in that locality yesterday, prompt measures were taken by Inspectors L . - Till and Monahan, of the R division, with a vi e w to appre hend the parties offending.

The attempt of these latter to force the bride along with them was resisted by the bridegroom, whoa as consequently killed on the spot. The young wife, roused into fury by the fall of her husband, broke out into such curses and invectives against the mur derers that these could only silence her by laying her down dead by the side of the dead. The villains then compelled the old servant to strip the bodies of the unhappy couple of all their ornaments and clothes before the eyes of the dis tracted mother, and, after also robbing all the other travel lers of all they had about them, they made off with perfec impunity. THE FATE OF HORSES IN AUSTRALIA. _.Palk 0 the nobility of the horse! why we learn from reliable au thority that Mr. Atkinson, of Sophienburg, has taken a con tract to boil down 2,000 horses. There is no sale for those animals, and the owner wants to sell their oil, hides, and hoofs, and thus get as much from 'them as possible.

Last night, betweeen the hours of seven and eight o'clock, the whole of the buildings on the Surrey side of the river for miles around became brilliantly illuminated, to such an extent as to be hardly credible unless witnessed, owing to the out break of a fearful fire in the premises belonging to Messrs. Simpson and Co., wholesale and retail oil and colourmen, varnish manufacturers, &c., carry ing on a large business at Nos. 53 and 54, London road, Southwark. The premises in question extended from the Lon don-road into Nelson-place, the back portion form ing the warehouses and store; whilst the front was used as the retail department. In the former com partments were stored several tons weight of oils, tanks filled with turpentine, varnish, and a large quantity of resin, pitch, gums, and other equally inflammable articles, but fortunately no gunpowder. It appears that two men, Chas. Knight and Wm. Long, were employed by the firm in hoisting casks of oil or turpentine to the upper warehouse by means of an iron chain crane. Whilst so doing, Police-constable Pike, of the L or Lambeth divi sion, who was on duty at the back of the building, saw a strong body of flame in that floor, and know ing that only the ordinary gas- burners were alight, he felt convinced that the warehouse was on fire, and he therefore called out to the men to make their escape as speedily as possible. I n an i nstant afterwards a sheet of flame rolled over the Ware house, rushed through the loophole in the back front almost across Nelson-place, and the me n Knight, in order to avoid being burnt to death, had to slide down the chain of the crane. He had barely reached the street when a sheet of flame rose into the air, and so extensive was it that it gP.Ve intelligence simultaneously to every engine -keeper in the metropolis; and without delay the engines of the brigade from the Waterloo-road station at.. tended, under the direction of Engineer Medcalf. Lieutenant Becker next came camp up, with Hodges's engine and firemen from the Lambeth Distillery, and was followed by Mr. Henderson, with the Southward-bridge -road engines; Captain Shaw, the chief of the brigade, and Foreman J. Gerrard and Swanton also followed with the power ful land steam-engines by Shand and Mason. A plentiful supply of the Lambeth and South wark Company's water having been obtained, the firemen, under Capt. Shaw and the other superior officers, went to work in a most daring and intrepid. manner; for, regardless of turpentine or oil burst ing, they mounted ladders, entered the warehouse, and threw such immense columns of water into the building as to prevent the flames from reaching the front shops,alt hough turpentine and oil were washed along the floor and ran through into the street. The steam engines, it is only right to say, did what might be literally termed wonders, for unbroken columns of water were scattered round the ware house, and falling into the basement had the desired effect of saving 15 tons weight of oil deposited therein. By 10 o'clock the fire was entirely extinguished ; but great as the damage unfortunately has been, it will not materially interfere with the business, as the whole of the front houses have sustained no in jury, except by water, heat, and smoke. The firm, it is believed, was insured in the Sun and Westminster Fire-offices. Another fire broke out whilst the above was at its height, in Bermondsey, which was attended by Lieut. Becker with Hodge's engine, and one of the brigade; but the damage done was only the dem struction of one room and its contents. _ CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, a rate of 3d. in the pound was made and ordered to be collected forthviith upon all rateable property within the City, to meet a demand of £16,499 odd made by t} i e Metropolitan Board of Works, being the estim.ated quota of the Citytowarde the main drainage 'works for the year ending the Ist of August, 1 8( 1 ,2, and payable on the 25th March next. Mr. Dept)* yHARRISON, one of the Commissioners, and a rep%•esentative of the corporation of the Board of Wor'ss, stated incidentally that during the last year the rateable value of the property in the City of london had increased by.£20,000, a circumstance which tended to lessen the rate, adding jocosely, that he hoped the prosperity of every citizen had increased in proportion. Mr. Arthur S. Denny applied for and obtained leave to exhibit before the commission an invention for " dressing a scarfying" street pavements, the object being to counteract the slippery smoothness of the footways produced by constant friction. On the recommendation of a committee, Mr. Se condary Potter was nominated to transact the legal business of the commission until they shall have appointed a solicitor in the room of the late Mr. Charles Peat son. An incidental conversation took place as to whether the next solicitor to the commission should be paid by fees or by salary. At a recent meeting of the Common Council it was referred to a committee to consider the duties and emoluments of the City Solicitor, and whether it was desirable to amalgamate the office with any existing one in the corporation. Yesterday it was suggested that the commission should wait for the report of that committee before they appointed a solicitor to the commission, inasmuch as it would. save them the trouble of making a similar inquiry for themselves. That was opposed by Mr. Deputy Elliott, who said the appointment of the late City Solicitor as such to be the solicitor to the commis sion was a mere accident, and not a desirable one in itself. He contended that the commission ougbt to appoint a solicitor of their own wholly regardless of who might be the future City Solicitor. The conversation led to no practical result, Touching the sanitary condition of the City, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported on the state of 190 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 149 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise sub mitted a list of 57 places which required further proceedings on account of orders already issued but not yet complied with. He also reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in spected, and the officers had seized 960 lbs. of meat, 601bs. of sausages, and 175 head of game and poul try, as unfit for human food. All of it had been destroyed in the usual manner. The mortality num ber for the week are a little below the average. The returns of death was 45, and the births 48. Exactly one-third of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and ten were among per sons of 60 an d upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 9 ; pneumonia, 2 ; bronchitis, 3 ; continued fever, 2 ; scarlet fever, 4 ; measles, 2 ; and infantile diarrhoea, 3. Most of the deaths were from diseases of a chronic charac ter. Yesterday the commissioners fined Mr. Baker and Mr. Boakes, two of the contractors, £5 and £1 respectively, for proved neglect of scavenging duty. GREAT INTERNATIONAL FRUIT SHOW. The Commissioners of Customs have had under consideration an application of the Royal Horticultural Society, stating that a Great International Fruit Show will be held at South Kensington on the Bth of October next, and requesting that packages of fruit arriving from the colonies and from foreign countries for the exhibition may be passed without being opened or disturbed. The board allow all such pack ages addressed to the Horticultural Society to be forwarded without examination under seals of office to the society's premises, at Kensington, to the " care of the officers of customs in charge of the International Exhibition," subject to the same regulations ac were observed in regard to goods for the International Exhibition.
