Officer—Oh yes, Sir, and goes well—that is fast, for it has gained three hours in the twelve since I have had it. The cases are only common metal, and the works old rubbish put in motion. There is a maker's name, " Hurst, London." Both articles have been tested. A fire of a very extraordinary character occurred at the Bath Assembly-rooms on Thursday afternoon. This magnificent building is the focus of the fashion able circles in Bath. On Thursday afternoon there was a concert of the Bath Glee and Madrigal So ciety, in which Madame Rudersdorif, Miss Palmer, Herr Moliqu,e Signor Radnegger , Mr. Thomas, Mr. Palmer, and other artistes were taking part, and a large and fashionable audience were assem bled. The concert had proceeded for about half an hour, when smoke, which had a peculiar smell,was observed in the room. The committee of manage ment at first thought that it arose from the hot air apparatus, but an inspection showed them that fire was raging beneath the floor of the concert-room. The committee thereupon quickly distributed themselves throughout the room, and communicated that all was not right to the audience, and they rose and left the room as orderly as though the concert had con cluded. Indeed, Miss Palmer, who was singing at the time, afterwards remarked that uponiseeing the audience rise so calmly, she thought they were paying an act of courtesy to some distinguished person who had entered. Before, however, all had left the room, flames burst through the flooring. Fortunately, a number of men were at work at the time, and they and the attendants at the room im mediately tendered their services. Several gentle. men also assisted. A portion of the flooring was forced up, and a copious supply of water, passed from hand to hand in buckets, was poured upon the burning joists. The police, with the city hose and fire engines, were also speedily in attendance, and rendered good service, and the fire was in less than an hour completly mastered. The greatest proof of coolness and good management on this occasion is yet to be shown. In another room, Friend's being American panorama was exhibited at the time by gaslight to about 1,200 people, and it may be ea s ily i mag i ned what consternation and panic would have b een crea t e d amongs t suc h an assem bl y had a cry of fire been r ai se d. A s soon as th e fi re was disc overe d an intimaiion was quietly conveyed to Mr. closed Friend, and the doors of his own room and g . uai r. did.

So admirably, however, had things been managed, that his audience had not the slightest idea of their proximity to so great a danger. The damage is comparatively, trifling to what it must have been had the fire oceurred at night.: The even ino•.7) concert had to be held at the Gu i ldhall. On the motion of Mr. BRISTOW, the following resolution was agreed to " That the General Purposes Committee be instructed to consider the requirements of the Board and its offices, and to order the architect to prepare the necessary plans for erecting the building on the site of Berkeley-house, in ac cordance with the terms of the agreement entered into be tween her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods, &c., and the Board, and that the committee report thereon and submit the plans to this Board at the earliest possible period." "Dear Sir, —Having read in the papers a statement re ferring to the loan of £5OO made by you to me, and to vari ous public dealings with you as a contractor, which state ment if unexplained might give toithese transactions a cha racter not in accordance with the facts, I think it right, both in justice to myself and to you, to say that, as to the £5OO having been given as a bribe, or for any favour shown to you in the discharge of my public duties, the assertion is a cowardly and calumnious falsehood, which no man, how ever high his position, would dare to advance were I in England. (A laugh.) The passing certificates for stores not delivered must, to any man conversant with the prac tice of the service, be an obvious impossibility. The certifi cate, previous to receiving my signature, must of necessity have received those of th e i ns p ec t ors w h o exam i ne d the ,3 _TF . es, both as to quantity and quality, and upon the faith n f !! , ose signatures mine would have been att a ched, and without those, notwithstanding my signature, the Ac cotit,nl.ant-General would not allow the claim for payment. facilitiesln ll b: no way and on nooccasion have I favou r ed or offered Your firm which were not extended equally to all other contractors v ' Among them are many men of high honour and e te to them I may confidently appeal as to wheth er I havenot upon all occasions endeavoured, to ih 3 utmost of th e I me, to ensure them eagre assi s tance sparingly afforded' to of their supplieslomptitude of payment and a fair in spection' That I ever ow y ou or suffer by my neglect o f du ,any other contractor to utterly and emphatically del, or absence from Weedon, I him self more a slave to the publicNo man ever made H I been less zealous I service e than I did.

" I may add that I am ready at any moment to declare, on oath, that the loan of £5OO was the first and only private mlnetary transaction of any description between us, which, at the time of borrowing, I am fully persuaded it would have been in my power to replace out of money that I then hal a prospect of raising. " I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, "W. tLLIOTT. -[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—There is but one disease, the fountain of all others, bad blood, and there but one infallible remedy for it, Holloway's Pills.

The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day with the case of the " Great Western Railway Company, v. the Midland Railway Com pany," which was a part-heard case in the special paper, raising certain questions upon an agreement entered into between the two companies, with re gard to joint "running powers" and the leasing of certain lines, &c. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery. The Lord Mayor told Mr. Metcalf that the bar maid had acted with great liropriety in refusing to serve the prosecutor when he was drunk. His lord ship then sentenced the prisoners to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. PROPOSED NEW MAIN THOROUGHFARE FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. WRIGHT rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the Board to the difficulty of construct ing the middle level sewer, unless in conjunction with the new line of street from Old-steet, St. Luke's, to Hart-street, Bloomsbury, a line strongly recommended by Mr. Marrable, the superintending architect, in a reportpresented by him to the Board on 12th Jan., 1857. Mr. Wright said the object of the notice was to have the subject of the new street brought under the consideration of the Main Drainage Committee for them to ascertain how far it might be desirable to carry out the new street in connection with the construction of the middle level main sewer. He was afraid that the time for doing so this year was gone by, but still he Con sidered it right to bring the subject before the Board, and he would now ask their engineer how far it was desirable to carry on the middle level sewer in connection with a new street from Hart street, Holborn, to Old-street, St. Luke's. Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engineer, said difficulties would occur in this locality, but if the sewer was carried on in connection with this line of street, those difficulties, to a certain extent, would be re moved, inasmuch as the construction of the two works together would make a i rat difference in regard n antsowtehret to purchase o questionf p f r r o e p in e T r .

The cost of that part of the street required by the engineer —the net cost—would be £437,678, and the gross cost .X. 550,873. . Mr. WRIGHT then moved that the Main Drainage Committee confer with the Works Committee, and that they p resen t i mme di a t e l y a joint report upon this subject. Mr. DixoN seconded the motion. After a long discussion a division took place, when the numbers were :—Fer the motion, 15 ; against it, 12 ; majority, 3. • Mr. LEGG gave notice for the next Board— • " That it be referred to the Main Drainage Committee to john Hopkins, a ferocious looking fellow, 50 years old, was charged with breaking his wife's leg with a poker. The Attorney General resumed his arguments on behalf of the Midland Railway Company, his ad dress extending over more than five hours. Mr. M. Smith had not concluded his reply on the other side when the Court rose. The case will be taken again on Monday next. Constable .568 said—Yesterday afternoon, from information I received, I went to St. Thomas Hos pital, and saw the prisoner's wife, who had a broken leg. She at first said she broke it accidentally, and upon my saying that I did not believe her, she told me the prisoner had done it with a poker. She also said that he had been in the habit of ill-using her for years. The prisoner, who denied having used any vio lence to his wife, was remanded. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Well, it certainly appears a very surprising accomplishment for such a price as you mention. I will remand the prisoner, who will no doubt be known, and then send him for trial on the charge of obtaining money by false pretences. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. STAFF V. JULLIEN.-M. JULLIEN IN A COURT OF LAW. Prisoner—l was drunk, and the prosecutor hought he had a bargain. Remanded. MAI Staff, the plaintiff in this case, was a tent manufacturer in the neighbourhood of the Dover road, and she claimed to recover VO Bs. for the hire of a tent which had been fitted up for the pub lic at the Royal Surrey Gardens. The defendant paid £2O into court, and denied his liability for any greater amount. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Prentice appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Turner for the defendant. CLERKENWELL.--John Williams and John Hawkins, two fashionably-attired young men, who stated that they lived in the Waterloo-bridge-road, were placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing a valuable gold watch from the person of Mrs. Ilizabeth Nalder, the wife of Mi. James Nalder, under the following circum stances. MARYLEB ONE.—A respectably-dressed young woman, named Sophia Wilkinson, residing at 11, George-street, Lisson-grove, was brought before Mr. Long, charged with having attempted to mur der a man, and also to terminate her own existence. White, 96 S, deposed that at six that morning he was on the platform of the London and North- Western Railway, at Euston-square, when he saw the prisoner rushing towards a man who was in the act of getting into a carriage, and seize him by the hair of the head, with the evident intention of cutting his throat with a knife which she had drawn from her pocket. Finding that she was foiled in her sanguinary object she made a despe rate effort to cut her own throat, but was prevented by witness, who took , her into custody, bnt not be fore she had, in a struggle, inflicted several wounds upon her hands. Witness-produced the knife, the blade of which was between four and five inches long; there wa s blood upon it. Mr. Long—ls the man here ? Witness—He is not, sir. He went off by the train with the intention, as I understand, of going to Australia. He and the prisoner have bee n li v -, i n g together for some weeks. most Eeri , Mr. Long (to the prisoner)—This is a The plaintiff's case was that in the summer of 1856 her son waited upon Madame Jullien in refer ence to a tent, which he told her would cost for hire £5 or £6 a week. This was for a common tent ; but as the tent was wanted as a place for drinking champagne in, it was suggested that it should be supported by framework instead of by ropes; that there should be a floor an sliding shutters; and that it should be decorated by having muslin cur tains and by being painted. The tent cost £lOO, whilst the one originally ordered would only have cost £BO. The tent was up six weeks. Some muslin curtains were blown away on the day of the banquet to the Guards, and they were replaced by some canvas curtains. The amount charged for the hire of the tent was £8 Bs. a week, which, for six weeks, would make the su►n claimed £5O Ss. It appeared that the prosecutrix was near De Beauvoir-square, Kingsland, rather late in the afternoon, when the prisoner Williams asked her the way to the Holloway-road. She told him he was going in the wrong direction, when the other prisoner, who was standing , near, made some remark ; and after she had told them the way and was about leaving, she heard a snap, and then putting her hand under her cloak found her gold watch gone. She took hold of Williams and said, " You bad boy, you have taken my watch," when he indignantly asked her what she meant, and told her to let go of him. Both of the prisoners were attired in loose coats, and Williams having broken away from her grasp, then ran off, and some work ing men pursued them, and finding that they were followed the watch was thrown away. When the prisoners were captured. the at first pretended that they did not know each other, but at the station they pleaded for forgiveness. Robberies of this The witness, Mr. Isaac, said, in reply to the Chairman, the £5OO was lent on Saturday - , the 15th of May, but it was on the Friday Mr. Elliott asked him to advance it. Mr. Elliott simply said, " Will you pay £5OO to my credit at the hank at Northqmpton, for two or three days?" Witness ! plied he would. He did not gay what he wanted Evidence was produced to make out the plaintiff's ease, and to prove that the charge was reasonable. BIRTHS.
