Unfortunately Alfred Wil son th e h ea d engs - 44 White-street engine -station,',.' and one of his senior 1 0 . " of the name of Crampton—both married, with large ft. —were standing some distance from the spot, directing theA, water upon the flames, and before they had time to run away same tons weight of red hot bricks fell upon them, and they instantly became buried in the smoking debris. Some of their more fortunate comrades immediately ran to their rescue, but the bricks were so hot that as they lifted them the skin from their hands stuck to them. Neverthe less they kept to their work, hoping to save both men. One poor fellow was, after some time, got out, when it was found that his head was battered in, his helmet shrivelled, and his brain, it is asserted by those who pulled him out, was actually smoking on some of the hot bricks. Wilson was the second man rescued, and he gave two or three groans, which led some to believe that he might recover. Both were quickly conveyed to the London Hospital, but within a quarter of an hour after admission they were pro nounced dead. Several other firemen, including Mr. Fogo, the foreman, and Mr. Jones, of the West of England engine, narrowly es caped receiving a similar fate. Those firemen who were not engaged in rescuing the men buried in the ruins kept pouring some tons of water mo mentarily on the blazing p rem i ses; but owing to the vast in the pl ace, the fire rose so high perfectly light, th e re fl ect i on could distant ; and at one time nothing bt that, aste, quantityeanlft from mu p gm i h t c a h int , y t w a m r a s , & I e s c. short of the destruction of every building near could be ex pected. The firemen, however, did not relax in their exer tions,finally, between eleven and tw e l ve, they got the complete and, mastery over the fire, hut not until the whole of the valuable stock in trade was consumed, and all that re mained of the building was the eastern wall, which repeat edly gave indications of falling. A woman has made her appearance at the fire, and she , seems positive that her husband, who worked in the lower me warehouse, has perished, with se other workmen, b u t nothing positive can yet be learnea. The origin of the fire is unknown. The firm is stated to be partially insured. LATEST PARTICULAES.—IIALF•PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. From personal inquiries just made by the reporter, we can state positively that the whole of the men who were em ployed on the premises had happily succeeded in effecting a safe retreat before the fire had gained any considerable head. The managers of the firm having called all hands together, none were found to be missing.

Being taken in hand again by the dockyard people, they worked all night on her, and yes terday she left port at half-past two PM. She had hardly, however, reached seven miles on her homeward trip before she made signals for assistance, and they be ing reported to Admiral Harvey he ordered the Medina to get up her fires and assist. This she did, and at eight o'clock towed her in. Her machinery, just repaired, is gone. What with her salvage, her repairs, and other expenses, the Arabian's present voyage will be very ex pensive.

' This Company has been established for the purpose • of purchasing a large trant.of valuable forest land in the State of Georgia, consist ing of 1,042,000 acres, and covered with a luxuriant growth of yellow or pitch pine timber of very superior quality and size. The tract comprises upwards of 16,050 square miles ; it is inter sected by rivers navigable for vessels of a large'class, and is in close proximity to the ports of Darien, Jefferson, Burnt Fort, and Bruns wick, on the Atlantic Ocean, affording ready means of shipment, as well as a very considerable local market. The timber has an establishid aaTaCter in the markets of the United Mates, and commands a higher price than the produce of the northern forests. It is extensively used for ship-budding. rail ways, and other purposes, and is of great durability and excellence. Its value is being continually enhanced by the rapid exhaustion of the pine forests of the northern states. A railway is in course of construction through the property. The soil is of great fertility, is unusually free from swamps, and therefore more than commonly salubrious. The land when cleared is susceptible of cultivation for cotton, Indian corn, and other products. The timber on the estate is of very great value. It is pro posed, by the erection 'of saw-mills, to convert it for the Ame rican and British markets; and returns, based upon very mode rate calculations, show very great profits to the proprietors ;'and the land when cleared will also realise a very large return upon the capital. The title is derived from the Government of Georgia, and is vested in the names of three highly-respectable gentlemtn as trustees for the shareholders. Of the proposed capital of the. Company 260,0001. is taken by the vendors in shares postponed in respect of dividend to the preferen— tial shires now proposed to be issued, and of which 30,000 shares are already engaged. In effect, therefore, the holders of the shares now to be issued, and amounting to the small sum of 140,0001., will exclusively receivo all the profits of this vast property until they have cleared 8 per cent., with the prospect of further dividends afterwards. The Company will be managed in the United States by a highly respectable Board of Direction, and in England by a Board of Agency, by whom the stock created in America will be delivered, and thus no liability can accrue beyond the amount subscribed. PrOspectuses and plans of the district may be had at the Com pany's temporary offices, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank ; and at the broker.;',oftiterompany, afessrs..il, and W.

SALT and Co's. E&ST • INDIA PALE ALES. As a general rule, SALT and Co. have been content to let their Ales speak for themselves ; but the agitation which has been going on for the,last few weeks in the shape of what may be called , the STKYCHNINE 'CONTROVERSY, has placed them in a position which seems now to call for a few remarks. It was perhaps not to be wondered at • that the public should be a little started on the, first intimation that they were drinking poison every day without knowing it; but that a report so vague, so ground less, and so manifestly absurd, as that on which the charge of using STRYCHNINE in the manufacture of PALE ALES was founded, should :have more than a merelytemporary effect,apPeared to them per leafy incredible. At any rate, a simple denial of the imputation was, in their opinion, all that the occasion required. Such denial they gave, together with the other Brewers of Burton, by publishing a declara tion to the effect, that nothing besides MALT, HOPS, and WATER, had ever been used in the composition of their Ales; and they have all along considered it beneath the proper dignity of a respectable house to do more than this. They have been compelled, however, in self-defence, to go somewhat beyond their own conviction on this point, by the extraordinary manner in which some others in the trade have so pressed their own particular Ales upon the notice of the public, as to convey the idea that no others are genuine. It is, therefore, alike due to themselves and their friends, to make the fact I known, that whenever a fair opportunity has offered of submitting their Ales to • the test of analysis, they have sought to avail themselves of it; though. in one i nst a nce alone has this privilege been afforded th em , namely, in the case of Mr. PEPPER, Professor of Chemistry 'at the Royal Polytechnic Instlution, whose Certificate they sat join ; indeed, such has been the spirit in which some of these analyses have been conducted, as to make it evident that the object was rather to serve private interests than to satisfy the public mind. amag o e f the subject fanam in e t o h f e o f t l ers. persuasion Still, eventhis might have been do ne w ith out making invidious comsApLariTsaoand C comparisons{ n ul ow ate t d ak to e d leave testimony s tothe controversy. purityo that they will eventually lose nothing the estimation of the public f theirWe realietanledwfitelll, by the comparative silence they have m a i n t a i ne d d ur i ng th i s long d ars uce to am th p e l m e and, they as eowitdappproe from the medical profession as from p r i va t e individuals. , but they prefer taking the higher ground of conscious rectitude, and a Charac ter of fifty years standing.

The most contradictory rumours were.afloat regarding the Burmese poltey. _ ;By one account the King of Ava is dead, and l ap is anarchy at his capital. By another, he is alive, but has been kept by- the Governor of Rangoon in total ignorance o f a ll t h at h as occurre d ; an d a t hi rd report is to th e e ff ect that he has wr i tten a warlike letter to General Godwin, and has dispatched his brother-in-law f rom Ava with 20,009 troops to drive the English into the sea. All that regards the future is at present the mer es t surmise, but in, the • best informed quarters the chances are considered, in favour of a set tlement being effected without the necessity of any fur ther military operations. Should these, however, be un avoidable, two -European regiments, her Majesty's 86th and the 2d Bombay Europeans, with a troop of Horse Artillery, will probably be sent from Bombay, and three or four Native Infantry regiments,, either from that pre sidency or from Calcutta, a sufficient number of the Bengal regiments having recently volunteered for service in Burmah. " Sir Colin Campbell is carrying on a . fittle campaign in the valley of the Swat river (the principal northern afflaent ot,that of Caboul), with about 4;000 troops and ten guns. The force has had some severe hand-to-hand fighting, in ,which both officers and men have behaved with distinguished gallantry.. On the 13th the hill fort of Prarghur, on the threshold of the valley, was stormtd. -On the 17th the enemy came down in force into the Ranerzad valley to - attack us. On the 13th Sir C. Campbell moved forward and attacked them. They stood their 6rorind well for some lime, but at length gave way and fled, leaving 130 deadbodies on the field. Sir C. Campbell intended to march into. Swat on the 23i1 of 'May.. "His force . was not expected to return to camp for some time. - " The news from Cabul is important. Herat has for some time been in dispute between' the sqn of Yet Ma homed, backed by the Persians, and the: Kandaharee Sirdars, busked ,by Dost 'Mahomed. 10,000 Persian troops were on their 'way_ to [Waist , Yar Mahomed's son, and lost Mohamed had ;dispatched his own son, Glaolain Hydkr, with a large body of troops, to the assistance of the Kandaharea faction. The factions, ' however, •joined battle without wait ing for the arrival of their respective allies. The Herattee army, under. Yar Mahomed's son, numbered 12,000 or 13,000, the • Kandaharee force rather less. After eight hours' fighting,' the latter were defeated, with a loss of 2,000 men; and obliged to retreat to Kan dahar. On learning the result, both the Persian and Affgban ffiree halted - for further' orders. It may be hoped, therefore, that a collision between them will be avoided. " No improvement has taken place in the state of the Niz - im's territory. " The public were startled the ,other day by the in formation that the King of Oude Was preparing for war with the _British Goveipment. It since dppears that this demonstration (irhich- actually oceurred.),4o.e:ntirely to be attributed to the King's insanity, and that his Ma jesty has now forgotton 'the hallncination4 "Calcutta, With the south and east of Bengal, was visited on the 14t and-15th of May by -it violent hurri cane, which has done immense damage to property. In Calcutta alone, according to the chief magistrate's re turns; 2,657: thatched cottages, 526 tiled ones, a nd 40 large and strong 'houses , were destroyed by it. Eight inches of rain fell in a few hours at Dumdum. The monumental pillar to the memory of the 'artillery who fell at Cabul was thrown down. "The appointment Of Mr. 'J.

Colonel Mignon, of the lst Bombay Europeans, was drowned in crossing nullah near Poonah during a thunderstorm on the 3d of June. The monsoon sot in at Bombay also on the 3d of June, and the trade of the port.may now be considered closed for the season. During the fortnight a moderate amount of business has been-done. Tonnage continues abundant, and freights moderately high. The money market is more easy than it has for some time been known."

Indigo—The hurricane which passed over Calcutta and the eastern parts of Beep' on the 14th and 15th ult. has done much less damage to the plant than was anticipated, and its effects are not likely to affect the ultimate result, what ever that result eventually may be. In fact, it was only in particular localities, such as low and " chur" lands, that any real damage occurred, and the injury done in those places and elsewhere is becoming rapidly effaced under the influ ence; of a hot sun and genial weather. The October plant particularly in the district of Dacca, suffered most, but the sowings of that plant were, fortunately, less than usu a l, owing to the excessive dearness and bad quality of the seed then obtainable. The tempest was confined to a section of Bengal, but the rain which accompanied it extended to Bhangulpore, Tithsot, and other places, and has greatly im proved the plant in those districts. The hurricane caused much destruction among trees, out-offices, and villages. In violence it was only inferior to that of 1842. In the upper provinces prospects at present promise well.

The commercial in telligence by these opportunities is, upon the whole, satis factory; the consumption of produce was upon the increase; the stocks in the hands of retail dealers reduced; the accounts from the continental markets favourable, while money conti nued plentiful and extremely easy. With some exceptions, our export market has been compa ratively quiet during the past month. A good demand has existed for sugar, which has been stimulated to greater acti vity by the London advices of the 24th of April. Saltpetre continues to go forward freely, although prices have given way about 4a. on the fine= refractione. Rice has been shipped moderately to Great Britain.

Low bleached jaconets are in good inquiry, but the better qualities have partaken of the decline on the g reys . Lappets, remain dull, and the business done in them has been for immediate wants.

The bulk of the busi ness, amounting to about 1,215 bales in mule twist, was done in the first halt of the month ; latterly very few transactions have taken place in that staple. German dye yarn con ' tinues to be sold freely; but scarcely anything has been done in the British dye. Copper has fallen about 4 annas per md. in value. Iron remains firm. Spelter has given 1 way 4 annas to 5 annas per md. Lead is dull and without i report of sale. Tin plates are in good inquiry and look ing up. There has been very little demand for bills of exchange, and rates have consequently had an upward tendency. Our quotations at going to press were 2-0% for credits, with hardly any takers at that rate, and 2-0% to 2-1 for documents. _ The money market remains abundantly supplied, and loans are available on easy terms. In Company's paper New Fives are wanted at 5-4 premium. Transfer paper has fallen to 7-0 to 7.4 premium. The Four per Cents. are difficult of sale, and not easily moved at our quotations of 88-12 to 89-0 for the Siccas, and 90-8 to 91-0 for the Company's. The Bank of Bengal is not likely to make any further reduction in its rates of interest and discount. Shares of that bank are worth 6,660, but very few are for sale. Freight gradually fell to about 5-0 ,per ton since the date of our last report, but within the last few days they have recovered what they had lost. CANTON MARKET REPORT.

The corps of artillery about to embark for England are still detained for want of conveyance. We have to notice a tragical event in the case of the American ship Robert Bowne, Captain Bryson, bound from Amoy to California with about 400 Coolies, who after a fuw days' departure took the vessel, having mur dered the captain, officers, and part of the crew. The vessel was retaken, after a large portion of the Coolies had landed on an island off Formosa, and brought back to Amoy, with 21 Coolies still on board. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis and her Majesty's brig Lily lett Amoy in search of those who had landed, bat bad weather obligedthe former to return to Hang• Kong; the latter got into safe anchorage. The Semiramis left again for Amoy on the inst. Her Majesty's brig Con test, from Shanghai, joined her Majesty's brig Lily, and succeeded in taking most of the Coolies, and brought them to Am oy. The Lily was to proceed to Shanghai on the 18th, and the Contest arrived here on the 19th. The alleged cause of disaffection among the Coolies was the cutting off their tails and other ill-treatment ; but there were some des perate characters on board, who, it is re ported, shipped with the view of taking the vessel, supposing there to bo a quantity of gold on board. The English ship Baron Renfrew was brought into harbour a few days ego by her Majesty's steamer Sphynx, owing to some dissatisfaction on board, which was arranged through the senior naval ofiizer, Captain Massie, and the vessel left again on the 19th. The French steamer Cassini and the corvette Capricieuae are to proceed shortly to Ningpo and Chusan. In Canton the business during the month has been small, both in imports and exports. From Shanghai we have advices to the 10th. Imports had been in demand and stocks were small ; but few transactions had taken place in produce. Nothing is as yet reported regarding this season's crop of tea. The excess of exports in tea over last year is now 1,800,0001 b.; of silk about 1,000 bales.
