Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. George Myers, the extensive builder, Guildford street, Belvidere-road, Lambeth, which at one time threatened the most appalling consequences to the sur rounding neighbourhood. The premises in question were very commodious, the workshop in which the catastrophe took place being 40 feet long by 20 wide, and principally filled with sashes for the huts for our brave soldiers in the East. Imme diately adjoining the premises where the fire occurred are those of Messrs. Gammon, builders, of Ed wat d-street, whose workshops were necessarilly with coMbustible filed nirit,rrials, which if once ignited would ha v e communi cated with the extensive buildings in the neighbourhood. Luckily, short l y after the outbreak, the powerful en gines of the Waterloo road, Chandos-street, Southwark brid,;e-road, and West of England brigades reached the spot, which speedily got to work in an admirable man ner, having a plentiful supply of water from the main of the Lambeth Waterworks, under the direction of Messrs. Henderson, Fleming, Hambleton, and Conuorton. The firemen, with great perseverance, succeeded in prevent iog the flames from spreading across the yard, and the , fire was entirely confined to the building where it occurred. The London fire floating-engine from South wark Bridge also arrived, under the direction of engineer Cnrrard, but its services were not required. Great praise is due to Mr. Superintendent Eveur, Inspector Cowlen, and Mr. White, of the County Fire Office, for the very efficient manner in which they dis charged their duties in rendering assistance to the Lon don Fire Brigade. The following is Mr. Braidwood's official report Mr. G. Myers, builder, workshop, 20 feet by 40 feet, burnt out, on first floor, and roof destroyed.—lnsured.

The flames were extinguished, and she was taken to St. George's Hospital ; but she remains in a frightful eon- dition.

The Russian re in the morning was warm and well directed ' • one or two of the mortar vessels had to be moved further out, but, although several vessels were three or four times hulled by shot and shell, nobody was killed, and but few wounded.

But as it came to blow very hard the next morning, the order f)r sailing was countermanded, and we lay Saturday and Sunday quietly at anchor. On Moudd.y morning we weighed again, as the weather had moderated, and arrived off Sweaborg in the even ing of the same day.

SEQOND EVENING. • On the second evening the rocket boats again attacked the place, going still nearer in than on the previous night. The Russians again fired at them in vain. The fire was more frightful, if pos sible, this night than the last. At four in the morning the order was given to discontinue the bombardment ; the mortars being all very shaky (three having burst), and Sweaborg being so completely in flames that nothing more could be done. Henry O. Bobn, York-street, CoVent-garden. TAKING POSITION. On the morning of the Bth, the English mortar boats were hauled into about 5,000 yards of the citadel, anchors during the night having been laid down in shore at 3,100 yards, and off shore at about the same distance, with a very long scope of cable to admit of the vessels being hauled backwards and forwards—that is, in shore and off shore, as cir cumstances might require. In the afternoon of the same day the French mortar and gunboats joined from Nargen, and at once took up their position in the same way in the centre of our line ; the attacking force now consisted of 21 mortars and 27 gunboats ; all appeared to be ready ; the weather was fine and the water smooth. As day light dawned, to our astonishment we saw on an island 400 or 500 yards in-shore of us the French flag proudly displayed on a rock, and found that during the night our indefatigable allies had thrown up a sand battery of four field mortars. The sand they had brought with them from Nargen. The mortar vessels then hauled into bombarding po sition, viz., 3,350 yards' distance ; the gunboats, in detachments of threes and fours, under the com mand of (that is each detachment) Captains Iran sittart, Stewart, Glasse, Hewlett, and Preedy (commander of the Duke), hovered round, snort ing with their high-pressure engines like war horses, and impatient to dash in to draw the fire off the stationary mortar-vessels.

When you consider that twenty-five 13-inch mortars for upwards of 48 hours kept up a continued firing, some projecting as many as 350 rounds into a comparatively small place like S weaborg, crowded as it was with wooden buildings, dockyards, and barracks, you may form a pretty correct idea of the ffect these dreaded missiles had ; indeed, two hours after the commencement of the bombard ment, the fortress was on fire in seven different places, which spread rapidly, and continued for three days, destroying everything of an inflamma ble nature, leaving nothing but ruins of brick-walls standing. One hundred and sixty gun-boat sheds, many with row boats in them, were totally burnt, as were also the government ropewalk, storehouses, dock yard, barracks, main guard, and signal station. The firing was so hot and the practice so admirable, that the three-decker moored across the entrance, after having several shot into her, was forced to haul out of her position, and take shelter behind the stone walls.

But every age has had its Peninsula. ie en who were sent .to oppose Gates- and rash ngton were our gallant veterans of Dettin -311 a d Culloden. •iThe advisers of the Duke of "ork u Holland were described by the Ministerial itsi o the clay as heroes who had sc aled the Heights ,f Ab. ahem and swept the plain at Minden. The N.me can war, perhaps happily, did not last long -nough to exhaust the superincumbent layers of military incapacity ; but in the great struggle which follovied after 16 long years of reverses and humi-. liations we at last found a general. Unhappily, the nation has been more content to exult in the vic torie of Wellington than to endeavour to fi n d a successor by disregarding the c'aims of seniority ; and a commander-in-chief of 38 would probably be looked upon with more astonishment at the present day than at any past time. The remarks we have been compelled to make from time to time on the conduct of military men in high position have been often met by the argument, if it may be so called, that the Great Duke, during the earlier period of his career, was attacked by an ill-judging Opposi- . tion and a misinformed public, and that therefore censures on generals in the Crimea and Admirals in the Baltic would be proved by the avenger Time to be equally worthless. These critics did not recollect that the Great Duke formed almost the only . instance in which censure was - misplaced. • After all, there was much excuse for a mistaken estimate of a really great man, when the country had ' within the memory of that generation been humiliated and nearly ruined by its Burgoyne and Cornwallis, its Duke of York, its Whitelocke, its Earl of Chatham, its Sir Harry Burrard, and Sir Hew Dalrymple. This brings us to our present position. We are passing through the Burrard and Dalrymple phase, and hope soon to emerge on the classic period of another Welles ley. Should such a warrior arise, we shall not be ashained to recant any adverse judgments which dime may prove to be incorrect. Met the practical results of our recent losses are hrmight home to every household in the speedy promotion of those who have chosen arms as a pro fession, and in the demand for men to fill appoint ments which till lately were rarely vacant, and were thought to demand acquirements much above the average. The loss of engineer officers in the Crimea has been very heavy, and now 20 young men aro to receive commissions at once, and 40 more within the next three months. That the acquirements of these young men will be below the average of their predecessors cannot be doubted, but 'that is an evil inseparable from a state of war, and perhaps attaches only to this corps, in which some scientific attainments are requisite for a pro per discharge of duty. Throughout the army the same rapid rise of the fortunate survivors of battle and disease is conspicuous. Men now command regiments' who were by no means the seniors among the captains when they first encamped at Scutari. As far as regimental advancement is concerned, there is an unexampled prospect for the young, strong, and enterprising. Up to a certain point promotion is and will be as rapid as in the early armies of the French Republic ; but the de cision as to who are to have the chief commands over this young and vigorous band of warriors will, no doubt, for years be influenced by old recollections of former companionship, a mistaken sense of long , etanding claims, and an idea that age necessarily confers experience, and experience ability. But beyond the example of all former times the nation is now watching, and as it were superintending a war which is peculiarly its own. That nation will make use of the lessons learnt in former strug gles, and ponder the still more important t:ach ings of the last few months. From the past it will gather that the old military system, which during a long peace has settled down and indurated afresh in the country, has never insured, or even per mitted, success in war ; from observation of what is passing at present in the Crimea it will be con vinced that such experience as the soldier of a few years or months in Spain or Belgium can boast of is of little value, and that the best school for Sebastopol is Sebastopol itself. To public opinion, which has already done so much, we commit the completion of those great changes which have already commenced. CONTRABAND OF WAR AT HAMBURG.

At five minutes past eight on the 9th the signal to commence action was made, and the ball was opened by a shell from the Pickle mortar vessel, which was anxiously watched to see how far our range was good. To our great satisfaction it fell on the very top of the citadel, close to a flag-staff where waved the Royal standard of Russia. (It is supposed that the Archduke Constantine was at hweaborg.) And now the row began in earnest. All along our line bang went the 13-inch mortars, charged with Valenciennes, and other ignitable composition. In dashed the gunboats, firing as they advanced, rushing in at full speed, till within 3,000 yards of the forts ; then wheeling sharp round, and making way for those astern of them. " Hurrah, Johnny !" Off go the mortars from the island battery (which I don't think tho R uss i ans had seen before) ; but don't imagine we have it all our own way. A moment had not elapsed after we had opened fire, when, from every embrasure, from guns en barbet, from mortar batteries, from the line-of-battle ships at the entrance of the h hour, and from the guns on the heights of Bakhol men, off went missiles of all descriptions ; and though many fell short, the disagreeable sounds in the ear of passing shell or red-hot shot were much too frequent to be pleasant. As our fellows got nearer they thought nothing of that sort of thing, both soldiers' and sailors' whole mind and energy being directed to pitch into the " Rhoosians" and revenge Hango (many of the shell and shot were marked Hango). When the mortar and gunboats attacked the dockyard and arsenal, the Cornwallis, the Hastings, and the Amphion were ordered to attack the bat teries at Sandhamn (the same had been previously engaged by the Amphion on the 22d of June). At eight a.m., immediately after the mortars had opened fire, they weighed from the anchorage at. Miolo, and stood in towards the batteries, three in number, mounting together 15 or 18 guns ; the Hastings got the first shot, but at rather long range. The Amphion stood further in, and opened fire with pivots, and then with main-deck broad side, first a little more than 2,000 yards, and sub sequently about 1,500, and blazed away as hard as she could pelt till half-past ten, when the signal was made to discontinue the engagement. The Amphion fired 40 broadsides from her main deck guns, and 60 rounds from each of her pivots, and was struck five or six times ; her main-yard se verely injured, one shot through the spanker, a fore shroud carried away, and a main-deck beam badly sprung, and had one officer and two men wounded, one very slightly. The Cornwallis was frequently hulled, many of the shots that passed over the Amphion hitting her • she had one officer and six men wounded. The ilastings was not struck at TREMENDOTS EXPLOSION. The fire was kept up with spirit on both sides, with hardly any casualties on ours, until nearly twelve o'clock, when one of the most awful and terrific explosions I fancy that ever was witnessed took place close to the citadel. I can only com pare it to a violent eruption of Vesuvius. A whole fort was blown up, thousands of shot and shell were thrown into the air, the latter bursting as they rose ; and what appeared the most extraordi nary was that it seemed as if it were never to cease. Pillars of smoke, intermingled with shot, shell, and some affirm guns, constantly rolling out of, as it were, the bowels of the earth. The sea for half a mile was immensely agitated and covered with foam. Firing on both sides ceased for the moment, but as soon as the first burst of astonish ment had subsided the air resounded with the cheers of the allies, not only from those engaged, but from the vessels outside, whose rigging and yards were covered with men ; but " Don't let them rest," was the order. "Blaze away, my boys," and carcases and shell and red-hot shot were thrown as near the fire, to make confusion more confounded. Not another gun did they fire for more than an hour. The flames caused by the explosion spread rapidly ; and building after build ing, barracks, stores, and small magazines burnt and blow up right and left. One remarkable circumstance must be told to show the cool courage of the Russian, and his con tempt at death :—A Russian gunner, amidst the carnage, was seen to reload his gun, single-handed, although a mffgazine had exploded alongside with out touching him ; he had actually primed his gun, and was laying it, when down he went, gun and everything about him. • (From, the Times of this day.) In a few days Sir R. England will set foot on the soil of his native country, and the last of the old Generals of Division who enjoyed the festivities of Ccnstantinople, suffered from the fevers of Varna, and shared the glories and hardships of last autumn's campaign, will have quitted his command. Too great exertion, the weakness or timidy of advancing ago, the weariness engendered by long and tedious warfare, may all have had their share, with wounds and sickness, in inducing's° many to abandon the high position and brilliant prospects which belong to the successful warrior ; but the fact is a singular one and worthy of attention, that after eleven months of active war, the Commander-in-Chief, all the Generals of Division, and no small number of the Brigadiers, have quitted the scene, and left their places to other, if not to younger and more skilful men. But not alone in our own army have those who a year ago were in the mouths of all passed away, so that their • names are little more than a reminiscence ; each of the contending hosts has lost its chief, in every case a man of mark and celebrity. It is fresh in the memory of all how, with the news of the Alma still ringing in our ears, 1 there came the not unexpected tidings that the French Commander had sunk under disease, anxiety, and fatigue, and lay dead at the little haven of Balaklava, then a strange name—now how familiar, and how mixed up with recollections of glory, guilty negligence, and a long term of disaster ! The remains of the dead General enter ing the Bosphorus amid the crowd of vessels which bore those wounded on that brilliant victory, of which he had just shared the renown ; the stately honours paid by the Sultan and Ambassadors, the still more impressive funeral rites celebrated in Paris to a Marshal of France—these things are like the events of yesterday, and yet St. Arnaud was the first to fall—the first great victim in the holo caust which three nations are offering up to the Spirit of War. Next comes a darker and sterner figure ; a figure iuvested by popular belief with almost fabulous at tributes of pride and imperiousness,—Mensebikoff —the fanatical noble, the arrogant ambassador, the stubborn if not capable commander—succumbing to wounds, age, and anxiety but a few days before his Imperial master was struck down. In retire ment he now watches the desperate struggle in which his country is engaged, and has leisure to regret the infatuation of the Prince who sent him on his fatal mission, and the gratuitous and unbid den arrogance which he superadded to his master's instructions. Yet his career has not ended in un mixed calamity. At Sebastopol he prepared what must have seemed a desperate defence after a crushing defeat. He sunk the fleet which had long been his peculiar care, and, if he did not plan the new and unexampled works which have defied at tack so long, he at least chose the men who were capable of such designs. He remained to see his resolution rewarded, and the defence of Sebastopol successful and famous. The Crimea will have saved his reputation from the failure of Constanti nople. A pompous and arrogant diplomatist, he was seen through and gauged at once by the wary representatives of the Western Powers, and failed even to impress the Turks themselves. Before he left he was thoroughly cowed ; his shrewd wit died on his lips, and his threats, kept for the Pashas and the populace, were changed for con ciliatory overtures towards those who really wield the destinies of the Sultan's empire. At Sebas topol he was once more in a position where such genius as he possessed could do him service, and he has ended a long career in a manner which even enemies must allow to be not inglorious. The last few weeks have taken away the third of the Commanders-in-Chief who have fought around this modern Troy. The! oss is too recent and the fallen General too well known among us for criticism to be either appropriate or necessary. Praise and blame he received in abundance during his lifetime ; both are now useless, except as they may excite emulation or hold out a warning. But the British army has lost much in Lord Raglan. He had high military rank, long experience of mankind, and manners which gave him an influ ence with our Allies beyond what any other gene ral is likely to possess. He was above petty jealousies and petty intrigues, and kept his way uninfluenced by what would have affected the course of many a man. who en of our army have quitted the scene --so With Lord Raglan almost all the general who served joyed the esteem and trust of . those c confidence only in under them ; more who inspired has last hopes .of_suceesa or the di:- pleasure of our enemy and our t Ain days of the war been indeed, has from the earliest But his opponent, p the enemy.

It is with our oN • commands in the vn affairs that we are chiefly concerned, and the last twelvemonth must be overhung OmerPasha,°ffi e the ers moral to be extracted from the SHELLING THE RUSSIANS. About noon several Russian regiments were dis covered on one of the small islands thickly wooded with pine trees, busily engaged in throwing up batteries, which might have proved highly danger ous to the ships of the Allies if not interrupted in time. Two frigates and a corvette were ordered by signal to move up and shell the place, which was speedily done, and the Russians abandoned the island, leavin g 500 killed and wounded behind them, whilst the ships returned to their former sta tions without suffering the least damage. REPORTING LOSSES AND CASUALTIES. At 5 p.m. the gun-boats and mortar vessels were ordered by signal to report their losses and casualties. The answer was, that one sailor's arm was hurt by the fall of a yard, otherwise no da mages had been sustained. In one vessel, fitted with Julius Roberts's mor tar, it split into parts and fell into the well, but in the discharge the shell went into the fortress ; in another mortar vessel one half the mortar was thrown on the quarter-deck, the other half on the fore-deck, fortunately without doing any injury. THE ROCKETS AT NIGHT. And now it is night, a pitch dark night ; all quiet but an occasional explosion on shore or a shell from a mortar. Perhaps the Russians were even trying to rest. Whether or not, they must have been rather astonished at about 12 o'clock by seeing the sky suddenly illuminated and 40 or 50 rockets rushing simultaneously into.their already well-lighted town and store-houses. These danger ous projectiles, thrown from the boats of the fleet at 2,500 yards distance, soon added fuel to the flame, and one of the most enormous fires conceivable was the result. It was in vain that they fired Shrapnell shell, red-hot shot, &c., at the boats ; it availed nothing. For a full hour the hissing sound of the rocket was heard, at the end of which time it is no exaggeration to say that the fire extended nearly a mile, the flames and black smoke being perfectly terrible to look at. At two o'clock in the morning a similar dose was administered. en The only accident that took place was two . m of wounded in the Vulture's boat by the explosion • k a rocket. SECOND DAY• At daylight on the 10th the mortars opened fire, and the flying squadron again dashed to the front, • lattißUßG, August 19.—it cannot be denied that the merchants of Hamburg are practical men of business, and know how to indemnify themselves for the lose ef , their former direct trade with Russia, by carrying it on indirectly, but to a much greater extent. In conse quence of the war a new market has been opened for many artioles, especially lead, sulphur, and saltpetre, and very considerable purchases have been made ever since the winter for Russian account. One single house that I could name confesses to have sent no less than 19,000 bags of saltpetre to Russia since March. Allow me to call the attention of your readers to the fact that the greatest supplies of these articles comprised in the generic name of " contraband o war," for the use of the Russian army, are now sen from this city, which is carrying en a most thriving trade, the articles being sent by the railway through Berlin. Hitherto the British and French Governments have taken no steps to prevent it. Is it because they are unacquainted with the fact ? Whilst the British Consul-General is enjoying the pleasure of sea-bathing at Travemunde, and the French ambassador's house in town is shut up whilst his excellency is breathing the fresh air at his country villa at Blankenese, these things • are carried on publicly. The British merchants residing here are prohibited by the Queen's proclamation from holding any commercial intercourse with Russia, it being pronounced high treason to do so ; but their next-door neighbours profit doubly by the prohibition, and I may therefore be permitted to ask the question, is there no way of stopping it ? Could not a ship of war be placed at the mouth of the Elbe, to overhaul ships arriving with contraband of war ? Germany talks so much of her neutrality—is this a proof of it ? The commercial paper, the Borsenhalle, gives in its yesterday's number the usual weekly report of the mar kets of this city, from which I would lay before your readers the following short extracts relating to the above mentioned three articles, which undoubtedly come under the denomination of contraband of war : Su phur—During the past week about 2,000 ca , ks have beim sold to be sent to the interior, at successively rising quotations of about 25 per cent. Some parcels have also changed hands for shipment, bywhich our stocks have been grewlyreauced. and holders insist on a still further advance. Saltpetre—The imports this week consist of 1,694 , bags of East India, the greater part of which was already ,old on delivery. There are but few parcels at present in the hands of importers, which are held at very, higk , prices. Of refined there is none in the market, and the demand is so great for delivery that no•contracts can be made to deliver at an earlier period than the end of Sep tember. Chili saltpetre is not to be had, but some par cels are expected shortly, which may be purchased pn delivery after arrivo. Lt ail—This article is in great demand at rising prices.
