The supply, in fact, is very inade tie' compared with former years, and the con ef—Ption, on the other hand, is large.

Since the 25th the weather has be e remarkably fine, and a large breadth of train has e beeke aped in excellent condition ; this has rather tilt l furthee advance, and as the reports from UniteddO States and Canada continue favourable, we anticipate much, if any, higher range of prices kho t e,revaiied during the past season, unless France . oii i ( '„require large importations, which the advises 'ltt e ,"", St country render very probable.

Present prices of wheat are, New, Bs. 10 ,, . to 9s. 8 , 1. ; Old, 9s. to 9s. 100. ; 9s. 64. to 10L. ; per 6:lbs.

England and France, however, it is ts e l i vt l i " contended, have need of peace also, and ue leg the case the resumption of negotiations it t his winter is confidently expected.

Mazza, director-general of the police at Naples, with Mr. Fagan, secretary of the British Legation. The true cause of them, which bas not been stated by the newspapers, is this—England is raising, as is known, an Italian legion. She has established the principal depot for it at Malta, and the enlistment offices in Piedmont are only branches of that depot. At Malta she has set apart for the legion Fort Manuel, which contains barracks for about two thousand men. The English are naturally desirous to ob tain the excellent Swiss soldiers in the service of the King of Naples ; but to get them it was neces sary to dazzle them with higher pay than that which they now receive. The Neapolitan govern ment gives them about 75c. per day, but England offers lfr. 25c., and 65c. additional as campaign pay. 2.. r. Fagan thought that it was only neces sary to :make this fact known in the Swiss regi ments, r. - id the manoeuvre has to a certain extent succeedal ; there have been deserters, men on fur lough hi.;e not returned to their corps, and those whose ergagements expired have not made new ones. M. Campana, the chief of police, made a re port on these facts to the minister, M. Mazza. The latter being one evening at the theatre del Fondo, and seeing Mr. Fagan in the box of General Filan gieri, Prince de Satriano, raised his lorgnon to make sure of his identity. Mr. Fagan imitated him with affectation. M. Mazza , thereupon sent to the general to say that he ought not to receive such a man. The general, being ignorant of the affair of the enlistments, expressed astonishment at receiving the message of the Minister of Police, and refused to cause Mr. Fagan to leave his box. M. Mazza, in consequence, made use of severe lan guage, and Mr. Fagan has sent a report on the affair to the British Minister of Foreign Affairs. Similar means of seduction have been employed in the two regiments in the service of the Holy See by the agents of Mazzini. The Pontifical govern ment accordingly takes precautions against foreign ers who arrive, and who, under pretence of rusti cating at Frascati and Albano, attempt to approach the garrisons of the Swiss." OUTRAGE UPON AN ENGLISHMAN AT ANT IVERP. The following is an extract from a letter pub lished in the Journal d'Anvers of last Friday, and the outrage to which it refers appears to call for some explanation : "A ship, loaded with powder, chartered by a colonel staying at the Hotel Fleur de Ble, at Bruges, and agent of the English Governme - it at Cologne, left Wetteren for Loudon. She had sol diers on board, was furnished with all necessary papers, and bad orders to proceed on her voyage with all despatch. On arriving at Bruges the ship was permitted to enter the basin of the canal, without being told that there was not sufficient water to enable her to continue her voyage safely. When in the basin the captain was desired to take out the ship at his own expenc3, which he refused to do, saying that as he had pa'd the port charges, and as the authorities had allowed him to enter, it was their duty, and not his, to rescue the ship from her improper position. Last Friday, whilst the captain was on board, the captain of the port came and asked him to speak to the commissary of police, and as the captain personally knew that gentleman he consented to do so. As soon, how ever, as he had put Ills foot on shore he was asked again whether he would withdraw his ship, to which he replied, ' No, not at my own expense ; but you may move her if you please.' Upon this they attacked and seized him, endeavouring to put handcuffs upon him. The captain, not liking to be treated like a malefactor or a thief, naturally resisted—L.3ing a strong man, repulsed the police, and hay ; got one handcuff off, threw both into the wat::. After this he was conducted before the cornmiss Iry and sent to prison for several hours, when he was set at liberty. The ship was then re moved from her position by the people of the place." THE AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige bas the following observations on the Aus trian alliance : "I am happy to inform you that the relations of the Western Powers with Austria are quite satis factory. I will even add that, as far as Austria is concerned, the situatioi is better now than it was before the disagreement which took place some months ago. This may stem paradoxical at the first view. It is true, indeed, that Austria disagreed with her allies on an essential point of the alliance, and it was natural to E..anpose that, even after the intimacy was renewed h:::;ween the three powers, some ill-feeling was left behind. The alliance, be fore the month of May, was based on the treaty of Dec. 2, and was no doubt serious and sincere on both sides. But the sth article of that treaty, which foresaw, without explicitly defining it, the eventuality of the military co-operation of Austria, contained the germ of a future complication. The question was often asked, what Austria would do when the case foreseen by the treaty had in reality taken place, and whether she'would take the same view of that case as the other Powers. The dis agreement which followed on the question of inter pretation showed that there was good reason for putting such a question. The Western Powers, having heard the reasons assigned by Austria to justify her abstention from military co-operation with them, thought that they ought not to aban don the alliance, because Austria did not put the same interpretation as themselves upon au essential point of the treaty. It was therefore necessary, from the moment it was thought de sirable to maintain the alliance, to put an end to the real coolness which had existed, hnd to prevent in future any similar cause of embarrassment. The three powers are engaged upon this work with equal loyalty and zeal on bod, sidei ; and Austria, moreover, has made the negotiation easy by readily declaring that the special and limited disagreement which she had announced should in no way affoct her sentiments and relations on the subject of the alliance, to the spirit and letter of which she still remained faithful. On this ground communica tions and explanations have been exchanged be , tween the three powers, which have resulted in new arrangements and new engagements, which may be considered as additions to the treaty. Everything is defines with precision so as to meet all eventualities. Each of the contracting powers can now reckon upon its allies in perfect confidence and ent re security. Thus we can say that the alliance between Austria and the Western Powers is now s'Tonger, more secure, more easy in its ap plicatic •, and more intimate than it was at the first period." A MAN FOUND DEAD IN THE TRENCH ON CHATHAM LINES.—Early in the morning after the last day of the Rochester and Chatham races a roan was discovered lying dead in that part of the trench opposite to the Spur Battery. He must have missed his way, and walked in, and it being of great depth, about 21 feet, he must have been killed by his falling on his head. THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER AND MS LATE CON STITUENTS.—The Duke of Manchester has issued the following address to his late constituents :—" To the Electors of Huntingdonshire :—Gentlemen,—You are all aware of the melancholy event which has de. prived me of the honour of representing you in the House of Commons. I cannot, however, surrender my trust without thanking you for the honour you conferred upon me, and expressing my unfeigned regret, both on personal and public grounds, that I have not longer enjoyed it. I cannot hope that every one of my votes in Parliament can have given satisfac tion to each individual elector ; but I trust that you have all considered that I have acted according to the prin ciples I announced when you elected me as your repre sentative, and that I have not neglected your interests. I have, at least, the satisfaction of feeling that I have conscientiously endeavoured to do so. In the new sphere to which I am called I shall not fail to be mindful of the requirements of the county of Huntingdon, with which I hope to have many opportunities of becoming better acquainted in the frequent residence amens you to which I look forward, and from which I hope to gain many friendships.—Your oblLled and faithful servant and friend, MANCHESTER —Eirnbolton Castle, Sept. 5." THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER NEAR BRISTOL—The Bristol Mercury mentions a rumour to the effect that the returned convict Pealing, who was apprehended near Thornbury on Wednesday, for the murder of Jane Bagley, at Cudham, in Kent, was met in Bristol on the Sunday of the murder at the Hotwells, and that while conversing somewhat early in the day with a person neat. St. James's Church ho gave them some particulars of the occurrence. So many idle tales have from time to time been promulgated that we know not whether to believe or reject this story, but it is one which should, and doubtless will, receive every investigation. It was nearly mid day before the murder was known in the city to any extent, which of itself would raise some sus. sp;cion, but beyond that there is some similarity between the two murders. Both victims were killed by their heads being beaten in. And thence as regards motive : a villain who would kill one woman and nearly murder another for the sake of almost valueless plunder would have had little compunction in destroying the girl Payne had she resisted his attempt to take the jar of beer. or, as it might have appeared to him, of spirits, from her. A week intervened between the two murders, and it will be important to discover, if possible, Pealing's where -4.04t0 t .tho 18144 THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NA POLAON. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The assassin was taken to the Prefecture of Po lice and examined by the Prefect. The result of the examination, as well as his previous history, prove beyond a doubt that he is a maniac. His name is Belleznarre (Edouard Camille Dieudonne), his age 22. He is a native of Rouen. At the age of 16 he was employed as a shopboy by a trades man of that city ; he committed thefts, was arrested, tried for swindling, and sentenced by the Police Correctiounelle of that pima to two years' imprisonment. After six months' detention the remainder of his punishment was remitted by of the Emperor, then Pr es id en t o f th e Re public, on the ground of his extreme youth. He then returned to Paris, where he got occasional employment as a messenger. On the occasion of the disturbances following the coup d'etat of the 2d of December, 1851, he took part, or, at least, says he took part, with those who fought at the great barricade of the Rue de Ra.mbuteau on the 4th. On the following day there were observed, on the walls of several houses in the same street and the adjoining ones, placards posted up, entitled " Motifs d e l a Con demnation it Mort de Louis Napoleon Bonaparte." They were taken down by the police, and searches made after the author—the placards being anony mous. In the course of the inquiry, Bellemarre came forward, and avowed himself the author. He was thereupon taken into custody once more, handed over to the judicial authorities on a charge of political offence, tried at the Police Correction- Ilene, and, being found guilty on his own admission of excitement to hatred among the citizens, &c., was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in a foriress. He was sent to Belle Isle as a political offender. His term of punishment expired in Jan. last, and he returned to Paris in Febivary, but under an assumed name. He soon obtained em ployment in the office of a huissier, or sheriff's officer, and was employed to carry messages, and occasionally to copy letters, at a salary of about 85f. per month. In this employment he continued until about eight days ago, when he disappeared. The name of the huissier by whom be was employed is Jeanne, who was completely ignorant of the in tentions of his servant, and who, moreover, bears a respectable character. The cause of Bellemarre's mistaking the carriage which contained the Ladies of Honour is worth being noticed. An old man who served as a sol dier under the Consulate and the first Empire, and on whom the present Emperor has bestowed a pen sion of 1,000 f., happened to be standing on the pathway at the moment the carriage drove up, con versing with the tapissier of the theatre, whose wife and children were present. The old man in ques tion is so enthusiastic a partisan of all who bear the name of Bonaparte, and particularly of Napo leon 111., that the very sight of the livery of the Imperial household drives him into transports of joy. Wherever the Emperor is expected there he plants himself for hours, and waits with the most exemplary patience under all kinds of weather until he gratifies himself by a sight of his benefac tor. He happened last night to be standing quite close to Bellemarre when the carriage drove up. At once he began shouting with all his might and main, " Vive l'Empereur !" "► ive I,' Impera trice !" and his friend the tapissier and his wife and children joined in the chorus. It was at that instant that Bellemarre stepped forward hastily ; his movement was observed by the sergens de rille, who, as already mentioned, struck down his arms. The pistols were small pocket ones, and no trace of the nails has been discovered, though they were distinctly heard, as we are informed, by the ladies in the carriage, as well as by other per 4ons standing near. In 10 minutes after the oc currence the Emperor drove up. The news had .pread like wildfire. The Emperor entered his hox as cool and impassive as if nothing had hap pened. The moment he made his appearance the audience rose, and welcomed and congratulated him with the loudest acclamations, repeated over and over again. Bellemarre is little more than 22 years of age. He is about the middle height, or perhaps some what under. He is slight in person, and his com ple►xion pale and very scrofulous ; his face is com mon, even ignoble, his lips thick, eyes dark and small, and he has long suffered from a severe rupture. He was rasher well than ill-dressed when arrested. When he was liberated from Belle Isle, in January last, the Governor of the prison wrote to the authorities that Bellemarre was deranged in his intellect ; that he had the monomania of crime ; and that he ought to be taken care of as a dangerous maniac, who, he was given to understand by his fellow-prisoners, had sworn to attempt the life of the Emperor. Belle marre used to boast that he in his single person was the accuser, the witnes., and the judge of Louis Napoleon ; that he had tried and condemned him, and that he should be his executioner. His fellow-prisoners, who disliked him, were wont to turn him into ridicule, and he himself has admitted that he was considered by them as a madman. During his examination by the Commissary of Police of the quarter of the Italian Opera, and subsequently by the Prefect, M. Pietri, he affected to exhibit the greatest courage. He looked his examiners full in the face, his manner was forward and bold, and his 'answers unhesitating, boastful, and even impudefit. He made no attempt at ex cuse or palliation, and avowed his intention of, as he said, taking vengeance on the Emperor, for the ' six mouths lie passed in prison for theft, notwith standing the remission of his punishment. When asked if he had accomplices, he declared he had not, and, with a tune and air of superiority, advised the Prefect not to bother his head (creuser la tete) about finding out accomplices. It is suspected, however, that he communicated what he proposed (king last night to three or four persons of the same description as himself, but they had no partici pation in the affair, beyond receiving his confidence. He was asked if during his detention at Belle I , le he had farmed part of any secret society there, -)r whether he was of the party Blanqui or Barbes luring the internecine war which the dete2bus kolitiques carried on even within the walls of their prison. He spoke in terms of contempt of both parties, who, he said, would not adm►t him among them : but of the two chiefs he felt less indisposed to Barbes than to his rival. He again declared that he was understood by neither, and that all must be mad as they believed him so. Iu a word, he fully avowed what he had done, what he had meant to do, and emphatically repudiated the idea that he had accomplices. The opinion of all who heard him is that he is a monomaniac. He was this day transferred to the prison of the Couciergerie, where no one is allowed to communi cate with him. These are all the particulars pos sessing interest about this affair, and may be relied upon as being substantially correct. MONDAY.—The unhappy man who fired at the carriage of the Dames ci'llonnour of the Empress has been again interrogated. It results from the assertions of the accused, and from a witness, that the pistols were fired in the direction of the ground ; and, in fact, the contents of the pistols did not even hit the carriage, and were found on the path way. In some measure this may be accounted for, a police agent having struck down the arm of the assassin whilst in the act of firing. I am told Bellemare is not in any way changed, either in manner or appearance, from the moment of his arrest. He cannot account for the guilty act, or at least refuses to give any reasons for the attempt. He answers vaguely to all qvestions. He has more than once, however, taken occasion to state that his mind is not affected. Such an assertion alone, more than once repeated, and without any reason, is sufficient to prove insanity. In all probability he will be confined for life as a madmaa. ANOTHER SURVEYING EXPEDITION.—The United States Surveying Expedition, under charge of Lieute nant Williamson, accompanied by an escort of about 125 soldiers, under command of Lieutenants Gibson and Hood, left Fort Reading on the 26th of July for the foot-hill of the Sierra Nevada, directly east of Shasta. The object of this expeditiou is to discover, by actual and careful survey, the existence of a practicable route for a railroad between the Columbia River and the Sacra mento Valley. It is thought the party will be out about four months. The whole expedition numbers nearly 200 men. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 10.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Avon, Capt.

THE AGUA FRIA GOLD MINING COMPANY.—This company have received advices by the America from Mr: Atwood, at the Gold Hill Mines, who statss the levels were being drive', towards the vein in the deep working with all possible ilespatch, but the ground was so excessively hard that it took much longer than he had expected, and at least a month would elapse before he could raise the quantity of rock be had anticipated from that source (40 to 50 tons per diem). In the month of June 147 ounces of gold had been obtained from the company's quartz, and 4941 tons bad been crushed for other par:.ies. MULTIPLICITY OF DEATHS BY DROWNING IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday there were no less than eight no tices of bodies found in the Thames posted up at Bow street, they being strangers, and unidentified. The last unfortunate person was picked up off Woolwich early that morning, and was described as dressed In blue jacket, blue trousers, &c. ; had some loose money in his pockets, two knives, and a tobacco-box, marked " Wil liam Raymond." Tue poor fellow appeared about five feet seven inches in height, and 28 years of age. The body was conveyed to the. dead house at Woolwich, to be owned, and await the coroner's inquest. HARLOW (ESSEX) CATTLE AND HORSE FAlR.—This one day's horse fa'lr, which immechately‘succeeds, and is second in attraction to that of Barnet, was field yester day. The store beasts brought to this fair were numer ous, the general condition of which was good. The choice lots of store beasts, of good grazing qualities, were in great demand, fully at, and in some instances exceeding, the high prices obtained at Barnet. Inferior beasts of mixed breeds, and Welsh and Irish younglings sold freely, but prices ruled a trifle in favour of buyers. Mulch and in-calf cows went at 151. to 191. each ; hei fers, 101. to 141. ditto. The horse fair was largely sup plied, particularly with cart colts, three-year.olds real ising 30 to 40 guineas each ; two-year-olds, 20 to 30 ditto ; best cart horses, 45 to 60 ditto ; Welsh horses, 16 to 24 ditto ' • Welsh ponies, from 12 t o 13 hands high, 101. to 141.

Her bow is lik e that of an Indian canoe, swe l ling out at rnidships to her greatest beam, where she is almost circular, then gradually diminishing ; towards the stern her form at the water line assimila.es to that of the tail of a fish. About ten feet before the stern-post there is an opening or space of about fifteen inches wide, in which revolves a disc, on the periphery of which are fixed the fins or pro pelling blades. Aloft, in other respects, she resembles an ordinary screw steamer with a very narrow beam. Her accommodation is for about twenty passengers, and unless appearances deceive she will be an extraordinary fast steamer. We are informed that her engines are 30-horse power, and to all who feel an interest in steam and its other gentlemen. gentlemen. There is also, of Mr. J.

DR. LINGARD'S CHEAP EDITION. The History of England. By John Lingard, D.D. 10 vols., 1854-55. Dolman. Exactly thirty years after the d a t e o f its original appearance in 1819, this celebrat e d masterpiece of research, eloquence, and . impartiality was i ssued once more fro m th e p ress i n an edition so remark able of its kind as to impart to the work that form an dconsisteney by which it must hen ce f ort h b e distinguished as one amongs t th e great classics o our national literatur e . Thi s c r o w n i ng e diti on was the sixth : it appeared, as we have intimated, in 1849 ; and was sedulously sup er vi s ed by a lit erary friend of the historian, as it passed through the hands of the compositor—the friend, in questio n , being, as it would now appear, the R ev . Ed war d Price, already himself favourably known to the world of letters as the annalist of the " Gordon Riots" and as some time editor-of Dolman's Maga zine. What constituted the paramount attraction of the reprint of 1849, howe ver , was the circum stance of its having been very carefully revised, and very considerably enlarged, besides being ren dered throughout more symmetrical as a continu ous narrative, by a variety of very curiou s transpo sitions and singularly judicious rearrangements. This elaborate revision, this important extension, and this almost unexampled remodelling of a work already endowed with a popularity so pro minent, and a reputation so elevated, being accom plished, from first to last, by the pen of the vene rable historian himself, then in the fullness of his intellectual powers, and in the maturity of a judg ment alway s c l ear - s i g ht e d , b u t more searc hi ng i n its gaze with th e a d vance o f years an d th e accumu lation of experience. It is from that perfected issue of " The History of England," by John Lingard, that the pre sent "Peopl e ' s Editi on " o f th e wor k has been faithfully reprinted. Literally the cheap edition before us i s th e seventh, but virtually it is nothing more than the sixth, republished in a shape more accessible to the general multitude. The character of the republication may be best ex pressed by our observing that it i s , i n a ll essent i a l respects, a reissue, identical in appearance with that of Sir Archibald Alison's People's Edition of " The History of Europe "—originally in weekly numbers, or monthly parts, the numbers sixpence, the parts varying from two shillings to two and six pence, the whole ultimately binding up into ten small or crown octavo volumes, uniform in size and type with those already mentioned as having been recently issued from the press by the Messrs. Blackwood. And, in this popular form, " The His tory of England," by Dr. Lingard, may now be stored up on the bookshelves of the commu nity at large, by the side of Hume, and Rapin, and Henry, and Smollett, and Stanhope, and Hallam, and Macaalay, and Martineau, and Mackintosh. Welcoming, as we do very cordially, this posthu mous accession of Doctor Lingard to the ranks of those eminent authors whose writings have obtained the glory of being numbered in the popular ag gregate of our cheap literature, we cannot but re call to mind the sentiment at once pathetic and dig nified, with which the illustrious annalist on the 20th of December, 1849, while bidding farewell to that great work which was the fruit of so many ex tended researches, the attestation of his patriotism, and the tribute of his nationality, echoed from his lowly bat thenceforth classic retreat at Hornby the memorable words of the veteran in Virgil— " Hic ccestus artemque repono." Two years after wards the hand that had penned the valedictory preface, and had revised the History, the hand that thirty years previously had written its elo quent and impressive commencement, was cold in death—the 'geed old sage had breathed his last, and to us, his contemporaries, had lapsed from liv ing, breathing humanity into one of the great names in the record of historical literature. Thereafter he could be viewed bythe critic with that calm serenity of judgment with which the dead ought ever to be regarded by their survivors—a contemporary no longer of Hallam and Macaulay, of Thiers and La martine, but a companion, rather, in the sacred shades, of Froissart and Holinsbed, of Sismondi and Tacitus. And so will Lingard be remembered from this time forth in the vague hereafter. And so will his noble annals of this our common coun try, "this dear, dear England"—" this precious gem set in the silver sea"—be read and consulted. Annals they are, be it remembered, the limits of which extend over a no less protracted lapse of years than make up the total of some seventeen centuries and a half—namely, from A.C. 55 to A.D. 1688, or, otherwise expressed, 1743 years altogether, beginning with the earliest invasion by the Romans and ending only with the accession of William and Mary, the event in which the Whig Revolution may be said to have been consum mated. Before closing our remarks upon this ro palar reprint of " The History of England" by Dr. Lingard, it should be observed in justice to its en terprising publisher, Mr. Dolman, that the attrac tiveness of a cheap edition has in the present in stance been considerably enhanced by the dis tribution through these ten goodly volumes of instructive letterpress, of a variety of appropriate and picturesque embellishments. These illustrations adorning the text of Lingard, illustrations en graved from designs by William Harvey, by Henry Doyle, and by Howard Dndley, as well as by other artists of distinction, will be found to impart an ad ditional interest to a reprint in itself more than sufficient to .excite the cupidity of every book-loving purchaser of moderately-priced and standard pub lications. Altogether, if the noble ten-volumed imperial octavo edition of 1849 was emphatically the author's edition, being the one, as we have ob served, which received his latest revision—this ex ' cellent ten-volumed crown octavoedition of 1854-5 may be regarded as no less emphatically the people's edition—and as such may be earnestly commended, as we do here commend it, to the acceptance and admiration of the great mass of lettered English men. CAPTURE OP SEBASTOPOL —The public will enjoy a treat of no ordinary character on Thurada" and niday evenings next, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. In anticipation of the glorious event. Mr. Denson had con structed portions of the picture of the storming of Sebas topol to fall to pieces, and other parts to sink from view, and Mr. Southby has kept in reserve effects which will far exceed all that haci hitherto been attempted. LIVERPOOL CATTLE TRADE, MONDAY.—The same dull demand continues for sheep, buyers bestowing very little attention upon this article, and though we had an ave rage supply, a large number was left unsold. The beef trade also ruled dull this morning, and a small number was turned out undisposed of. Beef, Gd. to GO. ; mut ton, 6 1 . to Gild. THE HON. F. HINCKS.—The Hon. F. Hiucks, who is all:ointed to the governorship of Barbadoes, is an Irish gentleman, who has been settled for some years in Ca nada, where he conducted a Liberal newspaper with some success. He was elected a member of the Provin cial Parliament, and became distinguished for his finan cial abilities. He acquired no little fame by his corres pondence with and against Sir C. Trevelyan on colonial finances. The late Colonial Secretary for Canada, the Ron. Mr. Daly, was also an Irish settler in Canada, and was promoted by Earl Grey to be governor in the West Indies, and afterwards to be governor of Prince Edward's Island. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT LAMBETH.—A fire broke out at one o'clock this morning in the extensive premises of Messrs. Baker and Co., builders, Palace road, Lambeth. Policeman 33 L being at the moment on the spot, gave the alarm and sent for the engines, but there being a scarcity of water the fire made a rapid pro gress, and at two o'clock it seemed as if the whole neigh bourhood would fall a prey to the flames. At three the firemen succeeded in checking the progress of the fire, although there was still great danger of its spreading. A. workman received a fearful wound in the left leg, from a box of tools thrown out of a window. He was con veyed to Westminster Hospital. The premises of Messrs. Baker are destroyed.

It turned out to have been occasioned by an explosion of •team coal on board of a Dutch vessel called the Jacob Hunger, which having taken in a full cargo of coal was lying in the port preparatory to her sailing. The force of the explosion tore np and shattered the decks, throw. ing fragments of the woodwork to considerable distances, and actually hurling the anchor overboard into the water. The captain, Pashan, was very much burnt about the bead, face, &c., and the first mate was also scorched considerably. Accidents of this kind have very frequently occurred in the ports of Cardiff and Newport, generally owing to the masters of vessels fastening down their hatches too speedily on the delivery of the coals on board. It is to be regretted that some means of ventilation cannot be devised, or that some arbitrary port rule is not established to compel the batches of steam coal-laden vessels to be kept partly ore until t " tiPe 4.o4pir! ;() z4i,„ d.) to 1 .0 18 1.11 in 2 all :3 00 14 If; 4,0 20 50 20 25 30 25 20 all 10 i 87i 8 71 i 47 i ex d
