A letter from Rome, in the Gazette de Lyon, has the following version of the dissensions between the English embassy at Naples and the Neapolitan Government : " You have doubtless heard of the altercations of M, Mazza, director-general of the police at kith Mr. Fagan, secretary of the British Legation. The true cause of them, which has not been stated by the nempapers, is this—Eng:and 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, whichcontains 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 75e. per day, but England offers lfr. 25e., and 65c. additional as campaign pay. Mr. Fagan thought that it was only neces sary to make this fact known in the Swiss regi ments, and the manoeuvre has to a certain extent succeeded ; there have been deserters, men on fur lough have not returned to their corps, and those whose engagements 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 Alazzini. 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 WERP. The following is an extract from a letter pub lifihed 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 Government at Cologne, left Wetteren for London. She had sol diers on board, was furnished with all necessary papers, and had 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 expense, which he refused to do, saying that as he had paid 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 his foot on shore he was asked again whether he would withdraw his ship, to which he replied, ' No, not at lily 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—being a strong man, repulsed the police, and having got one handcuff off, threw both into the water. After this he was conducted before the commissary 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."

Among the killed was Baron de St. Andre, French Consul at Philadelphia. NAVAL COURTEST.—On Wednesday, when the new steamer Sultana was taking a trip, previous to her de parture for Constantinople, w hen about 15 miles N.E. from the bar she was hailed by the French frigate Le Bayonne, requesting the favour of the master of the Sultans on his return to send out a Downs pilot. The Sultans immediately put about, and in a short while returned to sea, and put a pilot on board the Le Bay onne, for which attention the French commander ex pressed his best thanks. The Le Bayonne was on her voyage from the White Sea. MATTHEWS AND COURT.—The announced smilers' race between these men cae off yesterday, but was a shocking disappointment t m o the friends of Court. Matthews went away from him like a shot, and beat him by five or six hundred yards with the greatest ease imaginable. THE EAST INDIA COAL COMPANY.—A company under the above title has been established for the purpose of working coals in the valley of the Damoodab, in Bengal, and of supplying the increasing demand in India for company is provisionally registered under the new Limited Liability Act. The capital that arFicle. The pro posed to be raised is 150,0001. in shares of 10/. each. The Count De Nieuwerkerke, director of the Imperial museums, has just purchased at Dion (Aisne) a cross of an altar of the 12th century, of which the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul were the possessors. The sum given for it was 5,000 f., and this chef d'oeuvre will be placed in the Louvre. Hor MARSET.—The hop accounts from Kent, Sussex, and Worcestershire, of this year's growth, are so satis factory that the customary services of those gentlemen whose business it is to chronicle the prolific diseases to which this variable plant is liable, are this year dispensed with, for not even with a magnifying glass can either h o ney-dew, mould, flea, lice, or other vermin, be detected. GLASGOW.—WO learn that his Grace the Duke of Cambridge arrived yesterday, about half-past ten o'clock in the forenoon, at Kilwirming station, by the mail train, which left London on the previous evening, and proceeded to Eglinton Castle.—North, British. Mail of Saturday. THE AGUA FRIA GOLD MINING CO3IPANY.—This company have received .advises by the America from Mr. Attwood, at the Gold Hill Mines, who states the levels were being driven towards the vein in the deep working with all possible despatch, 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 he 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 had been crushed for other parties. MULTIPLICITY OP DEATHS BY DROWNING IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday there were no less than eight no tices of bodies found in the Thames posted tip 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." The poor fellow appeared about five feet seven inches in height, and 23 years of age. The body was conveyed to the dead-hous e at Woolwich, to be owned, and await the co roner ' s inquest. CATTLE AND HOR SE FAlR.—This which immediately succee ds, and is one H d e a rt y r : s o HART` (ESSEX rse fir, second in attraction to that of Barnet, was held 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. Milch and in-calf cows went at 15/. 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. ; small two and three-year-olds, 71. to 101. each ; nag or harness horses, suitable for tradesmen or military purposes, 201. to 301. ditto. A great amount of business was transacted both in cattle and cart colts, and at 5 o'clock the appearance of the fair showed there were not many lots left uneold. THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. 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 Bellemarre (Edouard Camille Dieudonne), his age 22. He is a native of Rotten. 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 Correctionnelle of that piece to two years' imprisonment. After six months' detention the remainder of his punishment was remitted by order of the Emperor, then President of the Re public, on the ground of his extreme youth. He then re turned to Path, where be 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 Rambuteau on the 4th. On the following cl.,y there were observed, on the walls of several houses in the same street and the adjoining ones, placards posted up, entitled "Motifs de la 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 nelle, and, being found guilty on his own admission of excitement to hatred among the citizens, dec., 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 February, 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 he 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 1,0001., 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, " Vim l'Empereur !" " Vim l'lmpera 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 yille, who, as already mentioned, struck down his arms. The pistols were small pocket ones, and no trace of the balls has been discovered, though they were distinctly heard, as we are informed, by the ladies in the carriage, as well as by other per sons standing near. In 10 minutes after the oc currence the Emperor drove up. The news had spread like wildfire. The Emperor entered his box 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 plexion 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 rather 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 witness, 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 afected 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 impudent. 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 months he 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 tone 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 doing 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 Bella Isle he had formed part of any secret society there, or whether he was of the party Blanqui or Barbes during the internecine war which the detenus politiques carried on even within the walls of their prison. He spoke in terms of contempt of both parties, who, he said, would not admit 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. In 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 Conciergerie, 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 d'Honneur 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 questions. 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 madman. 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,—SOOTHAMPTON, Sept. 10.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Avon, Capt.

The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige has 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 situation is better now than it was before the disagreement which took place some months ago. This may seem 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 suppose that, even after the intimacy was renewed between the three powers, some ill-feeling was left behind. The aliiance, 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 an 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, and to prevent in future any similar cause of embarrassment. The three powers are engaged upon this work with equal loyalty and zeal on both sides ; 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 affect 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 defined with precision so as to meet all eventualities. Each of the contracting powers can now reckon upon its allies in perfect confidence and entire security. Thus we can say that the alliance between Austria and the Western Powers is now stronger, more secure, more easy in its ap plication, 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 man 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 20 feet, he must have been killed by his falling on his head. THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER AND HIS 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 hono'ir 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 among you to which I look forward, and from which I hope to gain many friendships.—Your obliged and faithful servant and friend, MANCHESTER.—Kimbo I ton 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 near St. James's Church he 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 spicion, 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 discove r, if possible, Pealing's where abouts on the 18th of August.

By John Lingard, D.D. .10 - vols:, 1854-55. - Dolman. Exactly thirty years after the date of its original appearance in 1819, this celebrated masterpiece of research, eloquence, and impartiality was issued once more from the Dress in an edition so remark able of its kind as to impart to the work that form and consistency by which it must henceforth b e distinguished as one amongst the great claissics o our national literature. This crowning edition was the sixth : it appeared, as we have intimated, in 1849 ; and was sedulously supervised by a literary friend of the historian, as it passed through the hands of the compositor—the friend, in question, being, as it would now appear, the Rev. Edward 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 zi,le. What constituted the paramount attraction of the reprint of 1819, however, 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 curious 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 pliihed, from first to last, by the pen of the vene rabile historian himself, then in the fullness of his intellectual powers, and in the maturity of a judg -lin t always clear-sighted, but more searching in its aze with the advance of years and the accumu lat nof experience. It is from that perfected issue of 'i" The History of England," by John Lingard, that the present "People's Edition " of the work has been faithfully reprinted. Literally the cheap edition befoke us is the 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 is, in all essential 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 Macaulay, 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 but 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 good 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 by the 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 liolinshed, 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 po pular 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 Dudley, 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 octavo edition 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 Thursday and Friday evenings next, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. In anticipation of the glorious event, Mr. Danson had con structed portions of the picture of the stormingof Sebas topol to fall to pieces, and other parts to sink from view, and Mr. &)tithhy has kept in reserve effects which will far exceed all that has 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 GEN. ; mut• ton. 6d, to 6:1(1. THE HON. F. HINCKS.—The Hon. F. Hincks, who is appointed 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 hie ccrres poudence with and against Sir C. Trevelyan on colonial finances. The late Colonial Secretary for Canada, the Hon. 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- Toyed to Westminster Hospital. The premises of Messrs. Baker are destroyed. The Brigade engines, to the num ber of tea or twelve, with those of the West of England and of Messrs.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION OF STEAM COAL —CARDIFF, Sunday.—At about six o'clock on Friday morning the inhabitants of Bute district in the town of Cardiff were alarmed by a loud explosion which shat tered the panes of glass in some of the windows of the houses, and shook the furniture in most of them. It turned out to have been occasioned by an explosion of steam 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 up 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 head, 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 hatches of steam coal-laden vesEels to be kept partly open until the time for sagiDg. re' be Int St. 10 St. 25 1.00 8 100 10G all all 14! 7 all all I 00 all R2B. 100 100 100 3i 100 all all all 100 20 13; [OO [OO al 10 all 16 , X too 9 100 21i 10 5 20 18 20i 100 1 204' 100 20 ' 40 I 40 100 100 100 20
