MONEY tit AR. T 4 : COMMERCJAL INTELLIGZ;TC,, CITY, Two o'CLooK, The advices received this m 'rain t, from the manufacturing districts represent that business, owing to the continuance of fine weather, was slightly improved for the various light, fabrics suit able for the season. At Leeds a perceptible ame lioration has been experienced in most de scriptions of light woollen cloths in the ware houses ; the various cloth halls had been visited by a large number of buyers, and the tone of the market was decid dly cheei The worsted trade at Bradf rd, however, has I:eei. inactive, and in the piece-goods ti a le there is. it le variation to report, the demand for ex } o. tat on for both the American and German markets b Ong very limited. The hosiery trade of Leicest,r has slightly improved in goods suitable f r home con sumption, but for export there is little or mo inquiry ; at Nottingham rather more activity has prevailed in the lace trade. Business at Manchester has shown very little improvement, the demand f r cloths still continuing very inactive. In yarns a fair number of transactions had been reportei, a ,d the mat kt-t for these descriptions of goods is decidedly hi nter. The iron trade of South S affordshire has remained very inactive. The fancy and general trade of Birmingham continues extremely d-presse 1, arid considerable numbers of the operatives are still unemployed. The general hard ware trade at Wolverhampton has exhibited li - tle change, and in the tin and japan trades increased depres-ion has been apparent ; the saddlery ironmongery trade at Wallsall is equally heavy. The Liverpool Cotton Market on S ►turday closed heavily, but prices did not exhibi , any alteration of importance. The sales were esti wated at 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market was rather flat. There is not the slightest change to repor in V.° Money Market, where the supply is superabun dant, and the demand very limited. Occasionally there is an increased number of applications for accommodation, but they produce no effect, and he terms range from 2i per cent, for the neglYiat on of the best qualities of commercial bills. Opiniousdiff r with respect to the policy of the Bank Director s; for while some consider another relaxation in the late inevitable, others believe that a determina* ion has been formed not to grant any further discount facilities when they would render very little benefit to the commercial public or to the national establishment. The Indian Loan does not appear very popular at present, and it is gen9rllly believed , hat the estimates made as to the probabl.- price at which it will be taken are too high Th- c m‘lichais imposed by the authorities are objee.ioeable in several respects, and the limitation of th applications to amounts of 5,000/. and the fait that im deheutures are to be for less than 5001. is likfly to Tnilita e against the success of the opnation. We have not heard of any tenders having ) et ben wade, and there really appears some probability of the pro spectus being modified, before the app- al of the ,Directors is fully responded to by the nL neyird pubic. At the meeting of the British American Land Company tn-day, the report stated tiiat the saes of land of 1857 had exceeded the previous year by 3,000 acres, the average price realised b dug 14s. 02d. Iu Sherbrook town the sales have been 3 1-12 acres, at an average per acre c f 1601. 15s. The instalments received showed an increa-e on 1856 of 1,2591. 14s. 4d., and leaving undivided profits 24,4521. lls. 9d. This was, however, not yet applicable to a dividend. Toe report was adopted. There is a steady market for Public Securities, but the quotations, though firm, exhihi , very liti le rnoyancy. The Indian news is cinsidered very favourable, but it has not cau-,ed any movr meut of importance in the value of the Fu ,ds. Busiwess, however, is very dull, and this partly accounts for the apathy of the mattet. Consols have been 97i for transfer, and the smile for mount. They are now flatter, viz., 97 to 97k. The March Exchequer Bias are 30s. to 395. pre mium; and the June ditto are marked 384. pre mium. India Bonds have been 235. to 245. premium. In the Foreign Market the dealings have been very limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are ab Alt 1011 i; and the 4 per Cents., 104 ; Belgian 4i per Cents. are 994 ; and Peruvian 44 per Cents., 834 84. The following are the nominal prices of For , ign Stocks i—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 61 ; Mexi can, 19i 20 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 824 83i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111; do. 4i pt-r Cents., 99 101 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 44 44i ; do. New Deferred, 26k j. A very limited business has been done this morn ing in the Railway Share Market, and rather lower rates are current for most of the leading lines. Great Western have receded 55.; Bristol and Exe ter, Eastern Counties, and Lancashire and York shire, 10s. ; Midland, 15s. ; and North Western and Caledonian, 1/. to it. ss. ; Great Northern and South Eastern improved about 108. In the Foreign and Colonial lines scarcely any busi ness has been reported, and there is little variation to report in prices. Antwerp and Rotterdam have improved about ss. ; E.st Indian declined 15s. ; Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada realised about form , r values. Mines, Banks, and Miscellane nis Stares are in limited request. Bank of Australasia have receded 10s. ; Loudon General Omnibus Company, ss. ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 10s.

A letter written from the Falkland Isiah& in behalf of the crew of the North Atnerican ship Antoinette, states that that ship has been wrecked on the coast of the Falk. land Islands, while on its way to London "We got to Berkeley Sand," it says, "on the second day after we left the ship, or rather to a settlement at Port William, where we found an American consul, to whom the captain told our loss, and tbat there was a boat and five men adrift, whom we had lost sight of. The good (.1d gentleman got a vessel the same afternoon, and at daylight the next Morning proceeded to 1 !ok for them, although it blew a gale of wind. His last worms to 113 were, tn't fear, if they are alive I will find them ; and find them he did on one of the small is'ands, with boat stove and without water ; and the crew informed me that be never left the d, ck or slept until he did fit , rl thew, when he showed them every kinilnees in his p4wer. He was absent but four days. I am inforine t by the in habitants of the colony that he has always been in the habit of acting in tLia way for many ye , re. He is the Remo man who went in pursuit of and f 'end Captain Gardner and the missionaries who were starved to death at Cape Horn, rescued a French crew on the coast of Patagonia and in the Straits of Magellan, and It Denish crew at Hatter land, and all at his own ex pense. The inh,bitanti say he to b.ttsr aequaiet-r1 and has more knowledge of the place and (eia t e, than any Man living. H e i s kind, generous, and in the ztrente. lP The Court of Assizes of the Lot-et-Garonne, three eye ago, tried a married couple named Verdier of Don -1 des on the charge cf extorting a signature, and a man n a med Brunet for having assisted them in so doing. The a al took place with closed doors, but it transpired that I person from whom the signature was alleged to b ye been extt-rted was the p a ri h priest, and that " a cording to the iodlutue..t coke to 8 " e woman a t a time wh e• thonett her hugba , d ab sent, but that the husband ant hi , friend taring rusl,et4 , accused him of adultery, and wee() him sit , n two bate 1 1 exchange of I,ooof. each.

(B , fore Mr. Prendergant, Q C ) THE DOCTOR'S BILL-.-A NEW INVENTION-DOUGLASS ♦, EnfITEL Mr. Buchanan appeased f r the defendant. Plaintiff is a surgeon, and sought to recover the ruin of 2/. 2s. for medical attendance upon a little boy, nephew of defendant. From the evidenceof the plaintiff it appeared that the sufferer was stopping at defendant's house, and having met with an injury there, viz., a fracture of the arm, was taken to the child's father's chambers. At that place the plaintiff saw the child and placed its arm in gutty percha splints. Mr. Buchanan—Plaintiff must prove employment on the part of defendant, who is only uncle to the child. His Honour—The work was well and properly done, I suppose? Mr. Buchanan—Oh 1 yee. The child was well cured Plaintiff—l saw the child four times. One of the small bones of the arm was broken. As the accident was re ceived at defendant's house I thought_l could charge him. His Honour—The work has been done, and plaintiff ought to be paid. Defendant's sister said she went to plaintiff's with the child, and that plaintiff said to the father of the child, who was present, "If it were any one but you, Bill, I should make a job of this." His Honour—lt seems a strange thing. Why didn't you raiee a subscription amongst yourselves, and pay the defendant ; it is admitted that he did the work, and did it well. Mr. Buchanan proposed to call defendant, but His Honour said he was afraid plaintiff must be non suited, though it was very strange that in a family mat ter plaintiff could not get his money. Mr. Buchanan—l have now to ask for costs. His Honour— Certainly not. Mr. Buchanan—l am not disappointed. Plaintiff said though gutta percha was very flexible, yet a great deal was used for splints, and found to an swer every purpose.

The most fatal fire that has occurred for many years past el tee metropolis took piece yes' erday morning, which, we regret to staee, was attend -d ci h the sacrifice of net less than 15 hntnan beings. The scene of his ealetni!y is Giliert-street, Bloomsbury, a narrow thoroughfare running nut of Museum-street into Bury-street, where the houses in Great Russell-street, opposite the British Mu seum, flank the house on the northern extremity. It appears that in the middle of Gilbert-street, on the north-east side, stood a house containing not more than eight upper rooms, while the ground floor was occupied by a carpenter and builder, named Taylor, there being no basement floor to the place. The second-floor was occupied by a man and his wife, named Eastwood, and three children; the back part of the same floor being in the tenure of a Mr. Smith, his wife and seven children ; and the premises of Mr. Sawbery, a mineral collector in Great Russell-street, had a passage which touched upon the burning property, the only sepatation be tween the two buildings being a wooden partition, which was found inadequate to resist the fury of the flames. The discovery was made by police-constable Sul livan, 34 E, by seeing smoke issuing apparently from the back part of the ground-floor of one of the houses. After the lapse of a few minutes the constable found out the exact locality of the fire, and without a moment's delay he sounded an alarm, knocked violently at the street door, and after springing his rattle succeeded in making some of the inmates aware of their danger, but not until the fire had gained possession of the whole of the lower part of the house, and, rushing up the stair case, soon cut off all means of egress by the regular way. The affrighted occupants—or as many as were awakened—made an attempt to descend by the stairs, but the moment they reached the landing they were met by such huge volumes of sparks and hot smoke that they- were compelled to return again to their respective rooms. The man Eastwood, and his wife and three children shortly afterwards made their appearance at the second-floor window, screaming piteously for help. Sullivan, the policeman, and another officer, at the risk of losing their own lives, did all that was possible to rescue this family, and fortunately they were successful ; but in an adjoining room on the same floor, were Mr. Smith, his wife, and seven children, and to get to these persons was found im possible. Another man and his son, named Hedger, also lived is some portion of the building, who have likewise perished. Almost facing the burning property was a newly erected house, and there being a ladder against the scaffolding it was carried to the spot, and every endeavour was made to get the inmates out pend ing the arrival of the Royal Society's fire escape, which was stationed at Bloomsbury Church. Un fortunately, all the police and others were unable to make the remainder of the occupants aware how they could reach the ladder, and a young man, a son of Mr. Smith, finding the fire spreading so fearfully, as a last resource jumped out of window, and falling upon a policeman, was so frightfully injured that he was removed to the hospital, where he shortly afterwards expired. His father and mo ther and children being overcome by the heated smoke were unable to get to the window, and they fell beneath the action of the flames and perished. Conductor Christian at last arrived with the fire es- cape, but unfortunately when he got to the end of the street he was unable to take his machine for some few minutes to the place, owing to some barriers that crossed the road to shore up the houses on either side. After lowering his machine he was at length enabliicl to pass it under the struts and hav ing placed it against the Blo o m s b ur y Dispensary, next door, he got upon the roof, thi n ki ng th ere were windows at the back of the burning house from which he might be able to rescue those who were known to be in the place. The flames at that period were rushing out of the first and second floor front windows. Unfortunately, it proved that there was not one window at the back of the house, con squently the conductor was unable to enter from that part, and the flames rushing out furiously from the front windows also prevented him from rendering any assistance in that quarter. Information of the outbreak having been sent to the engine stations with as little delay as possible, numerous engines of the London Brigade, ut der the direction of Mr. Colf, the foreman of the B district, and Engineers Wilkinson, Flemming, Giraud, and other officers, as well as the West of England firemen and engine, arrived. An abun dant supply of the New River Company's water was procured, with which the engines were imme diately set to work, but before the men had time to tbrow - a drop of water upon the fire it had extended across the row!, and was attacking the front of the manufactory belonging to the Messrs. Harding, the fringe makers, and stro ng apprehensions existed for the safety of the Bloomsbury DispensAry and the houses in Great Rusioll-street. The moment the hose of the different engines could be clia7gTd with water the firemen, under the direction of their superior officers, exerted themselves in a moat in trepid manner, and by conveying the lea thern piping round the adjoining housts and into the one on fire they were enabled to cut off the further extension of the flames in the direction of the dispensary, the piano -forte factory, and the fringe warehouses, but it had already seized upon the back part of the premises belonging to Mr. Sawbery, the mineral dealer, in Great Russell street. The whole of the firemen then tried all they could to save this last mentioned property, but at first there seemed not the least chance, for the flames were rushing out of every window (Attie houee in which they commenced, and were rising high into the air ; the inhabitants on either side of the blazing property were removing their goods. Fortunately the firemen, by great perseverance, managed to get the fire extinguished in Mr. Saw bery's premises, but not till the owner had sus- tained serious damage, not only to his house, but to the valuable contents. The firemen having acl ieved this point next directed all the force of water at their command upon the premises iu which the misfortune commenced, and while so employed the roof suddenly fell in, and forced the two floors down, as well as the front wall. By keeping to their posts the firemen eventually succeeded in getting the tire entirely subdued, and as soon as the ruins wer e sufficiently cooled for any one with safety to enter they commenced removing the fragments to search for the unfortunate persons missing. This task de volved upon Wilkinson and Flemming, of the Bri gade, and Wing and Hemmings, of the West of England office. After digging for some time the firemen found in the ruins the body of a man ter ribly burnt ; and after proceeding further with their search they found the bodies of two women, and after that the bodies of two male children. These were at once placed in shells and removed to St. Giles's workhouse. Two lads were next dug out of the ruins, also dead, who from the position they were found in are supposed to have fallen from the upper floor when the roof fell in. These re mains were likewise taken to the workhouse. Upon further search a woman and two children were found, they having to all appearance been suffo cated before the fire seized their bodies. The total number, therefore, found burnt in the ruins is 14, and the man who jumped out of the window and has since perished makes the number 15. To give the names and ages of the deceased per sons would be at present impossible, but the fol lowing are known to have perished :—Mr. Hedger and son, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and seven children. Mr. Smith, it is stated, had nine children, but is hoped that two were sleeping from home. Out of 20 persons who I,,dged in the house only 5 escaped, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood and their three children. As to the origin of the calamity not the least re liable information can be obtained. It seems, from the inspection since made of the ruins. that there was a dustbin at the further end of the shop, and it is not improbable that some heated cinders might ol,;a,ni, n nlimne of theruins,was robbe d of a vile which was dexterously wienehed hot') his guard, and with which the thief got clear off. The build t•g where the fire took place and the dre dful loss of life we have to chronicle occurred, appews t hive kern of a very dilapidatAl charac from the appe r:n c e of t he party tt r. Judgi ~ ' i walls, tne bearings of the beams and rafters were of the most meagre character. Looking at them from the street and at a distance, the wonder is that the' floors Er) long sustained the living weight that nightly accumulated upon them, and that they had not given way and killed as many if not more than have been deprived of life by this great c 'lamity. The area within which this frightful destrnotion of human life occurred is another exemplification of the manner which stern necessity compels the huddling together of human beings in the metro polis. In a close confined spot of about 20 feet by 36 feet stood a house inhabited by about twenty one persons Lthe first and second floors being divided into eight rooms, which must have been of the most close and unhealthylcharacter possible, for in the house abutting on the back of Mr. Saw brey's house in Great Russell-street the'occupants had no means of obtaining air except through the windows of the front, and no light for the back rooms except from a skylight, with a borrowed light over the doors. It was to this circumstance . that in a great measure is to be attributed the great loss of life, the wretched creatures having no means of escape from the fire but from the front of the house. The appearance of the ruins was of the most heart-rending description, even without the con nection of the lamentable and frightful loss of lif e with which it is associated. The floors and roof are entirely down—not even the vestige of arafter, beam, or j .ist remains to give any idea of strength, or indentation in the walls to show that provision had been made for such useful arid necessary articles in the construction of a house to be in habited by human brings. • Amongst th e ru i ns are m i xe d articles of furni ture of the plainest character, denoting too clearly the class of the occupants. Bedsteads, pans, kettles, bottles, crockery, books, wearing apparel, bedding, loam of bread, and articles of that kind are strewed about in the utmost confusion, whilst the walls dis play the rapidity of theitainaes ' - mid Th-eseddeniiian ner in which they Borst upon them. , • Tn the stoviit are the remains of the previous night's family fire, and on the hob of one of them stande a tea kettle. The chimney-pieces / retain their ornaments, blackened with the devouring element, whilst over another is to be seen the remains of a looking-glass. In the further corner of the top room hangs two bird cages divested of their occupants or who pro bably shared the same fate as the unhappy owners, and on the shelves are to be seen numerous culinary and domestic Petioles with, in one or two cases, loaves of bread intermixed, and burnt to a cinder. The family of the Eastwoods, as soon as they were extricated from the ruins, were kindly con veyed by Mr.:Fowler, master of St. Giles's work house, to that establi-hment, where they were re ceived and treated with every kindness. A ward is specially devoted to them, and everything is be ing done to mitigate, as much as possible, their sufferings. This family consists of the following persons—John Eastwood, the father, aged 50 ; Elizabeth, the wife, 32 ; Mary Ann, 12 ; Elizabeth, 10 ; Maria Anne, 14 ; and Thomas, 3 years of age. The unfortunate persons who met their death, and were taken out of the ruins principally by Wilkinson of the fire brigade, who exerted himself to the utmost, both to prevent the loss of life,' and afterwards to recover the bodies from the ruins, for which he is deserving of the highest praise, were removed to the dead house of St. Giles's work house, where they have since been identified. They are Richard Smith, aged 52, Harriett, his wife, 51, and the following children—Alfred, 14 ; Henry, 17 ; William, 12 ; Harriett, 16 ; Teresa, 7 ; George, 11 ; and twins, Maria and Albert, 3 years of age. The mother, and Harriett, her daughter, are dread fully burnt, and the whole present a sad, sickening, and harrowing spectacle. Most of tha bodies are placed in shells, but those who are aot present much of the appearance and position they were in when death put an end to their existence, especially the three youngest children (includ ing the twins) who appeared to have died from suffocation, and without a struggle, their arms being over their heads as it in sleep. The other persons at the dead-house are James Hedger, 53, Mrs. Hedger, his wife, 50, William. Henry, their son, and a young man, supposed to have been in the employ of a butcher in Drury-lane, but whose remains have not yet been identified. The young man who jumped out of the window was Richard Smith, 19 years of age, son of Richard Smith, mentioned above. After jumping out of the window he was taken to University Hoqpital, where he died about three hours after his admission. His body presents a shocking mutilated appearance. In adduicii to being much burnt, his legs are broken, and collar bone and head fractured. The inquest will be held at the Fox, Doke-street, but the day and hour bas not yet bean fixed. It iv expected it will be opened by Afr. Wakley to morrow morning, to enable the bodies to be in terred, and afterwards the proceedings will, it is believed, be adjourned, in order to get up the evi dence necessary for a searching investigation both as to the origin of the fire and the nature and cha racter of the building. • CORN EXCHANGE. The country markets held on Saturday were but mode. rately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi ness was transacted, at drooping currencies. Barley. eats, beans, and peas, the supplies of which were rather limited, sold steadily, at very full prices. In France both wheat and flour are a slow inquiry, and the quotations show a tendency to give way. The transac tions in produce for export in the United States have been trifling of late. Up to our market last week the arrival of English grain was very moderate. From abroad we received 11,761 qrs of wheat, 1,500 barley, 2,616 oats, 550 rye, 2,468 beans, 5 peas, 122 tares, 3,540 oilseeds, 2 mustard seeds, 83 sun dry seeds, and 435 sacks of flour. Fresh up, to-day, both from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, the receipts of wheat were unusually small. From our othar counties hardly any supply reached us ; indeed, the actual quantity on offer was under 1,000 quarters. Nevertheless, owing to the fineness of the weather, and to increasing imports from the continent, the demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, and sales of most kinds were effected at 11 to 2s per quarter beneath last Monday's quotations. There was rather an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and forced sales were effected at is to 2s per quarter beneath the currencies realised on this day se'n night. Floating cargoes of grain command ♦ery little alteration. The show of both English and foreign barley was li mited, and all kinds were in fair request at full prices. Malt sold slowly, but no quotable change took place in value. Good and fine oats sold steadily at full currencies. In ferior parcels met a slow inquiry on former terms. Beans were in short supply and steady request at Is per quarter more money. The few peas on sale changed hands at extreme rates. There was very little doing in flour, and prices were is to 2d per 280 lbs. lower than on Monday last. The top price of town made fell from 3s to 4s per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL. MEASURE.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 414 head. In the corresponding week in 1857 we received 1,094; in 1856, 263; in 1855, 1,378; and in 1851, 1,424; in 1853, 2,761 ; in 1852, 1,185 ; and in 1851, 2,213 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEBS.

Compared with Monday last, the receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were limited, and the quality of the stock was inferior—over 800 bulls being on offer. Although the beef trade was somewhat firmer than on this day se'nnight, we have no improvement to notice in the general quotations. We may, however, state that the extreme value of the best Scots was 4s. 4d. per 81be. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,960 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds, from Scotland 440 horned and polled Scots, and from Ireland 240 oxen. ... 0 ... 20 There was a further increase in the sheep supply. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly, at about last week's currency. The top price of the best old Downs was 5s per 81bs. Out of the wools Downs sold at 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs, Lambs were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at from 6s to 6s 6d per 81bs; about 200 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We had a fait inquiry fcr calves—the supply of which was moderate—at full prices. For pigs, the demand ruled heavy, at last week's cur rainy.

The arrivals of potatoes, coastwise and by railway, last week, were moderate. The imports were 1,005 tons from Antwerp, 826 tons from Ronan, 837 tons from Dunkirk, 47 tons from Ostend, 80 tons from Terse:lnnen, 265 tons from Ghent, 270 tone from Calais, and 110 tons from Louvaine. Selected samples are firm, and rather dearer, and the value of other kind, is fairly supported.

WOOL. Fine colonial wool steadily supports the advance obtained at the last publicsales ; but inferior qualities are very dull. In foreign wools, we have no transactions to notice. Eng lish qualities dull in the extreme, and we have ne buyers except at further reduced rates. Apparently, the latter are likely to give way, as the supply is now rapidly in creasing, and as there is no foreign demand. SEEDS. The demand for both red and white cloverseed continuos active. No advance, however, has taken pl ace i n the quo tations, holders being anxious to dispose of their stocks. Linseed and rapeseed are very firm. In the value of other seeds no actual change has been made, but the demand for them generally has been by no means active. Cakes are lower to purchase.

By her Majesty's Royal Letters P a t en t f or va l ua bl e an d ex traordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles.

The Royal Exhibition, 1851. —A valu able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a-half mile distant. They answer every pur• pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, Camp, Perspective, and Race-course Glasses, with wonderful powers. - Invaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre served and strengthened and very aged persons aro enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the elan• gerons effects of further powerful assistance.

The Chamber of Deputies at Turin has lately adopted a bill having for its object to effect some modifications in the original convention passed between the Submarine Railway Company and the Sardinian Government. During the discussion on the bill, documents were brought forward which proved-Ist, that the submarine cables between La Spezzia and Corsica, and between Corsica and Sardinia, are in a perfect state of repair, and have not been in any way injured or altered since their immersion ; 2clly, that the land-line across Sar dinia works without interruption, and in a most satisfactory manner ; and 3dly, that the Sardinian Government has admitted that it was only just to accord a guarantee of interest to the extent of 5 per cent, on the totality of the capital, amounting to 3,000,000 fr. In the course of Vie debates it was stated that the number of despatches has progres sively increased, having been 2,575 in 1855, pro ducing 15,891 fr. ; 4,882 iu 1856, giving 30,953 fr. ; and 8,920 in 1857, making a return of 49,371 fr. The augmentation in the receipts has been infinitely more marked since the opening of the communication with Algeria, the two months of November and De cember having alone had 2,590 despatches, producing 20,460 fr., or upwards of two-fifths of the whole receipts of the year. The reporter on the bill has estimated the annual returns of the Sardinian, line., supposing them to reuntin stationary, at 160,056 f,, and in taking as basis the receipts of December, at 196, 260 f. ; " so that," observes the report, " in a very brief lldeed rps frome r l\ io il d la , lh n ag o vu t ea r o ta n on l y t er t ee h eo e e v g ien o l a • e e r r es n sa m tt se buttnf aet w otrb i y l e l s b i e la r r :l h i l e o dividend." As to the F renc h t e l egrap hi c li ne in connection with that of Sardinia, only one wire out of the four composing the cable is at present regularly at work, so that the guarantee promised by the French Government of the complete termination of the line has not yet come into operation. It is believed that theinter ruption in the electric current must exist either at the pint of junction at Bona, or within seventeen miles of Cagliari, at the point where a supplementary cable was added in consequence of the line not having been at first of sufficient length, , . the reetifi- cation. of this imperfection can be . effected, is th o great wh d e rffi n ctuhlety , waters, a n d wil l u m g h o t s , t w p r i t o h b o a 7 , t ly a b n e y of the Mediterranean are perfectly calm for some length of time, which generally occurs about th e attempted very end of May. ta y os t d daughter g eo h np t te e nreodf Railway, for public b a bl n iec d . w e understand that a marriage has been arranged between Viscount Ca‘tlerosse, M.P., son of the Earl of Lady ii.- nm c a ss r hte e ra , coroo a i nedniti d aTns l ed l yc i : co s i noh l nea ' . h t y oh af n e, the i o sE n l traffic tw The een o n Monday, the 29th this day.

Mr. Sawbery, of Great Russell-street, has also sustained great damage by fire and water, but lie was insured in the Sun-office ; and the fac tory of Messrs. Harding, opposite, is much scorched by the action of the flames. Upon inquiring last night at the workhouse for a list of the names of the persons lying dead there, the reporter was informed that it was at present impossible to tell, as no one had yet been found to identify them; but the following was the order they were brought in :—Ono man, two young women, two male children, one female child, three men, two lads, and another woman and two children. 1 I I ROO lOU 00 [GO 1.90 1.0.61 20 4 20 10 12 3 25 20 St. St. St. St. St. .2112 30 17s 1715 7i 178 !6/151 1256 ii? all all all li all all 10 all all all
