The report was adopted. There is a steady mark , t for Public Securities, but the quotations, though firm, exhibit, very lir d e buoyancy. The Indian news is c 'nsidered wry favourable, but it has not cawed auy MOW merit of importance in the vafti, , of the Fu dl.

The 940 p.m. train had jest 1-ft, and but one or two officials remained on the premipes, when James were observed issuing from the ticket-office, which, together with the waning rooms and t•uperin tendenta' cfficee, in a few minut , a pre.ented an un broken sheet cf fisrne. An alarm was immtdiatelv_given, and hundreds I f persons hurried to the spot, hut the building being chi , - fly composed of wood, it was at once' 'perceived that any a tempt to arre.t the progress of the flames would he wholly unava beg. Fr on the ticket o ffi ce and waiting-rooms the fire altn"st io-tantane -012,1v t xtended to the parcel and telegta o h ffivie airs to the passenger shed adjoining, and in Jess V issi an bour the whole range of building, about 350 feet, was burnt to the ground, two or three posts and chimney stacks only remaining. The light was r e strong at , tne time as to throw the tall spire of the di- ta..t e t.eerel into bAd relief, and shortly after the ft aues at4ai..ed their height, and only the fratueworis, as tt were, of the building remained, the iteeri e c uld only . be compared .to - a huge pyrotechnic disptay. So destructible were the materials that no quantity of water th c have been applied would have sufficed to ex it gulA the battl ing ma , s. Attention was then f ire irue ed to the pr , - , nervation r‘f the goods station, on the opposite side of the yard, which at one time, owing to the inten-e heat, was placed in great' jeopardy. Forunatvly the . wind was lea!, and water having been thrown upon some fencing which had ig Red close by, no further ' damage was sn,tained. There was ro great amount of property in the build n g which was destroyed, but o wing to the suddeneess of the outbreak, and the rapidity with which the flames travel ed, it was found inpossit-le to save the.booke..

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 anti 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 waa very moderate. From abroad we received 11,74 qrs of wheat, 1,50) barley, 2,616 oats, 550 rye, 2,463 beans, 5 peas, 122 tares, 3,540 oilseeds, 2 mustard seeds, 83 sun dry seeds, and 433 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 is to 2s per quarter beneath last Mon•lay's quotations. There was rather an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh ai 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 sigh t. Floating cargoes of grain command very 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 p'ace in value. Good and fine oats sold steadily at full currencies. In. ferior parcels met a slow inquiry on former terms.

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 so'nuight, we have no improvement to notice lin the general quotations. We may, however, state that the extreme value of the best Scots w is 4s. 4d. per Blbs. 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, awl from Ireland 240 oxen. 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 55 per 81bs. Out of the wools Downs sold at 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs, Lambs were in moderate su, ply, and sluggish request, at from Gs to 6s Gd per Bibs; about 20J came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We had a (hit inquiry for calves—the supply of which was moderate—at full prices. For pigs, the demand ruled heavy, at last week's cur tansy. Henceforth, the market here will be held on Thursdays, instead of Fridays, us heretofore. Per ;ilnB to sluk the oG a. d. I a. ' s, d.

No advance, however, has taken place in 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 wade, but the demand for them gene) ally has been by no means active. Cakes are lower to purchase.

INTELLIGENCE, Day 4 CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (B ire Mr. Prendergast, Q C.) THE DOCTOR'S BILL -A NEW INVENTION-DOUGLASS V, SMITH. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant. Plaintiff is a surgeon, and sought to recover the Eum of 2/. 2J. for medical attendance upon a little boy, nephew of defendant. From the evidenceof the plaintiff it appeared tlat the sufferer was stopping at defendant'. house, and having met with au injury there, viz., a fracture of the arm, was taken to the child's father's chambets. At ihat place the plaintiff saw the child and placed its arm in gutta percha 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 I yes. The child was well cured Raintiff—l saw the child four times. 0.,e of the sm - al• bones of the arm was broken. As the accident was re ceived at defendant's hou-e I thought I could charge His Honour—The work has been done, and plaintiff ought to be paid. Defendant's sister said she went to plsin , ifrs with th , - child, and that plaintiff said to the father f the child who was present, "If it were any one but you, Bill, I should make a job of tilts." His Honour—lt seems a strange thing. Why didn't you rai , e a sub-cription amongst yourselves, and pa) the dtf , Jr.dant ; it is admitted that he did the work, an did it well. M . Buchanan proposed to 0311 defendant, but His Honour said be was afraid ilaintiff tnu.it be not: suited, though it was very strange that in a family ma' ter plaintiff could not get his money. Mr. Buchanan—l have now to ask for coats. His Honour— Certainly not. Mr. Burbanan—l am not disappointed. Rainttff said though gotta perelia was very fl.x be, ytt a great deal was used for splints, and found to an. saver every purpose. LiA) feD'S SHIPPINd.--(This Day.)

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH TO AFIZI6A• The Chamber of Deputies at Turin has lately adopted a bill having for its obj ct to effect Some modifications in the original convention passed between the Submarine Railway Company and the Sardinian Government. During the dicussion en the bill, documents were brought forward which proved—lst, that the submarine cables I etween Li Spezzia and Corsica, and between Corsica and Sardioia, are in a perfect state of repair, and have t been in any way injured or altered since their immersion ; 2dly, that the land-line across Sar dinia works without interruption, and in a most , tisfactoi y in inter ; and 3dly, that the Sardinian Guvernmeut has; admitted that it was only just to cord 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 the 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 in 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 opehing of the communication with Algeria, the two months of November and De cember having alone had 2,s9odespatchFs, producir g 20,460 fr., or upwards of two-fittns of the while receipts of the year. The reporter on the bill has estimated the annual returns of the Sardinian line, supposing them to remain 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 period, not only the government - .will be relieved from all guarantee of interest, but the sharrhotiers will have to receive a satisfactory dividend." As to the French telegraphic , line in Connection with that of Sardinia, .only.one wire out of the four composing the (sable is at present regularly at work, so that, the guarantee promised by the French Government on the complete termination of the line has not yet come into operaii . n. It is believed that the inter ruption in the electric current must exist either at the point of junction at Bona, , or within seventeen miles of Cagliai i, at the point where a supplementary cable was added in consrquilace of the line not having b,-en at first of sufli,ient length, the rectifi catii,n of this imperiection can be effected, .it is thought, without any very great clitheuity-:-and will most pronatily be attempiel when the waters of the Mediterranean are perfectly calm for bo rne length of time, which generally occurs about the end of May.
