DREADFUL ASTL E AND CATASTROP GATESHHEAD E IN NEW- C. Front a Third Edition of the iVaccastle Chronicle cf Friday, October 6. About 20 minutes to one o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the worsted manufactory of Messrs. Wil son and Son, in Hillgate, Gateshead, which spread with inconceivable.rapidity, and in less thanstialf an hour the place was from top to bottom one immense sheet of fire. The manufactory, it will be rememberedrwas burnt dawn, „just about three years ago, and has only been re cently rebuilt in a most substantial manner, but the large quantity of oil which was upon the premises offered such foisd.to the flames that no part of the stock could pA3O4ly be rescued. The adjoining premises were of a most substantial character, having been built for a bonding store a few years ago. The contents were chiefly sulphur, and the intense heat soon caused that substance to melt. It then escaped in a burning state from the window, and had a most remarkable effect. s sfp About t, o'clock Messrs. Wilson's manufactory was a total wreck, and the flames had nearly spent them selves on its contents. The firemen, accordisigly, turned their attention to the stores-; but, in spite of every exer ficin, they were wholly unable to stay the progress of the Haines, which gradually spread over the whole premises. The warehouses were fully 80 feet in length, by 20 in width, and six stories high ; and about 3 o'clock, when the whole range was one body of fire, the sight was one of the-most' awfully magnificent which can well be ima gined. . But we regret to add that far the worst remains to be told. It is unnecessary to say that. such a fire- natu rally attracted the affrighted inhabitants of both towns to the banks of the river, and about ten minutes past three a vast crowd was assembled. Suddenly a tremen ous explosion—such an explosion as we never heard before and never wish to hear again—proceeded from the burning mass ; and ignited materials, bricks, stones, - metal, and every article near was thrown into the air with tremendous force, only to fall again upon the dense Masses of .people all around. A prodigious quantity was thrown entirely across the river, and scores of spec tators upon the Quayside were thrown down and in jured, many of them being rendered insensible. The mass, of burning embers set - tire to the ships, and crossing over the Quay, entered into the houses opposite ; and in a ,mo ment the shops of Messrs. Spencer and Sons, Messrs. Smith and Ormston, and Messrs. Smith and 0., were in a blaze, while the uninjured standers by rushed off in all directions in search of safety ; several endeavoured to assist their more unfortunate neighbours ; but as no one was left to endeavour to stop the flames, of course the new conflagration raged with frightful vehemence, and the shops above-mentioned, the offices above them. the public houses of Mr. Teasdale and Mr. Batey, and many private dwellings, were consumed in, compara tively speaking, a few minutes. At the same time the workshops of Mr. Edgar, at the head of the George's Stairs, ignited by the same cause, were blazing with fearful rapidity, and being situated in one of the densest parts of the -town, seemed to threaten wide-spread de struction. About four o'clock, the fire, having wrought its way amongst the closely-piled houses situated at the back of the Quayside, broke through into the Butcher Bank, at Airs Temple's paper warehouse. This was soon one sheet of flame, and in little more than half-an-hour the house was an entire ruin. By this time the flames had also broken into the Bank at a furniture warehouse occu ' pied by Mr. Piper, a little further up, and with so much violence that attempts to check it would have been vain, even if the means of doing so had been at hand. As it was the explosion bad put the fire-engines entirely hors de combat at Gateshead, the stand-pipes and many of the men having been buried in the ruins. Six o'clock a.m.—The frontage of. the Quayside for more them fifty yards from the Grinding Chare, is en tirely levelled, and a clear view presented of the rifled and reined lanes and chases between the Quay and the Butcher Bank. In these the fire is still in some places burning with violence, and in others only smouldering. Parts of the framework of houses are still standing amongst the smoke, but as a whole the buildings have Men into a shapeless mass of smoking debris. The house next to Mr. Snowden's bonded store is entirely id the power of the flames, and must soon fall. An interval of two houses then occurs, in which there is little fire, and as their 'walls and interior have been well wet, it is barely possible that they may yet escape. The fire has, however, got hold of the next house, occupied by Mr. Morrison, sail-maker, and others, and indicates that behind it the ravages of the devouring element are in progress. As a last resort to check its progress down the Quay an ' 'attempt is being made to pull down a house a few doors above the Custom-house, in order to make a clear space which the fire may not be able to overleap. A strong cable; passed round the upper part of a house, has been affixed to a steamer, which is endeavouring to pull it down..• At the upper end of the quay, the railway fire engine has. been brought into operation, and may pro bably prevent the fire extending in that direction. In the Butcher Bank the fire has been slightly got - under, and by maintaining the chief supporting posts of . Mr. Piper's shop, the framework of the house has been prevented, from falling. Many houses are, however, Completely gutted. The third house from the foot of Pilgrim-street has fallen down, entirely destroyed. The water from a hose-pipe has prevented the flames from extending further on either side of the street-frontage, but the mass of buildings between the George-stairs and the Butcher Bank is still burning furiously. A pipe, apparently with a 'good supply of water, has been got dawn the stairs, and may have some effect in arre.tiug or limiting the work of destruction. GATESHEAD. The explosion here, besides doing immense damage, naturally helped to increase the extent of the tire. The o'd houses in Hillgate were lett one mass of ruins seve ral of them took fire together, and being already heated by the flames, they fell a ready prey. In great measure, however, the destruction has been confined to the ware houses on the river side, and these to an extent of inure than one hundred yards are totally destroyed, some of them continuing to burn fiercely up to eight o'clock. LOSS OF LIFE AND PERSONAL INJURIES. As yet it is impossible to learn the extent of the loss of life caused by the explosion. Two soldiers were, we believe, killed on the spot at Gateshead ; and - on New castle-quay two spectators, who were thrown down. like many others, by the concussion, were also choked by the sulphurous vapour which was, borne across the river. This occurred, it is to be recollected, at a dis tance of at least one hundred and fifty yards from the scene of the explosion ! In the police station at Gateshead there were ten dead bodies lying at eight o'clock ;. one of these was an infantry soldier. One woman was known to be buried in the debris of the houses on Church-walk, part of her body being exposed, but - at the time it was impossible to reach her from the accumulation of - material upon her. One family in the same place was completely overwhelmed, but were for tunately got out without any serious damage. The amount of slight wounds and bruises it would be impos sible to compute, literally dozens of persons were going about with bruised limbs or wounded heads. Among the dead is Ensign Paynter, of the 26th Cameronians. He was buried amongst the ruins of a house in Hillgate, and his body was not recovered till some hours after the occurrence. At the Infirmary, between 40 and 50 wounded people have been received, and others are being brought. Most of them are very severely bruised, but others have only required their injuries to be dressed, and were then enabled to leave. _ _ _ In the - bond warehouse of Mr C. Bertram was depo sited a quantity of nitrate of soda, naptha, sulphur, and other highly inflammable material, but as far as can be ascertained there was no gunpowder in the place. The articles enumerated, though of a highly combustible nature, are not explosive, and it is supposed that some combination of gases, generated by the fusion of the ma terials, had made the explosion which has been so dis astrous. The force of the shock was distinctly felt as far as Dunston, and one gentleman was awoke by it in that village. As an instance of the immense force of the explosion, a piece of timber of about nine feet long and twelve inches in thickness was thrown from Gates head to the roof of the Ridley Arms, in Pilgrim-street. Into one place, at least 200 yards from Hillgate, stone, which would weigh about half a hundred weight, was hurled by the force of the explosion, but happily it fell in a yard without doing any harm. A smaller stone, however, fell a little beyond this and broke in the roof of a house, and a bar of red hot iron was blown into the High-street. Scarcely a house in the middle and lower part of New. castle has escaped from damage by the explosion. o n the Sandhill nine out of ten shop fronts and house win dews were completely blown out. In Dean-street, Mos ley-streets and their neighbourhoods, the same effects are observable, and many of the old houses on the Quay are left little better than wrecks. Even in Grey -street w indows and gas-lamps have been shattered. In all parts of the town the sleeping inmates of houses were roused. In St. Thomas's Crescent —three-quarters of a mile from the place of the explosion —the p eo p le awoke under the conviction that a piece of ordnance had been fired in close proximity to their windows, and some of them lighted candles and searched their houses. The following are a fe7 random particulars, c ollected subsequent to . lo o ' c l ock this forenoon : 10 o'clock a. flying missile, m c i — _lnspector Little was struck by a an ribs, his arm, and uncl e broken.

The pro perty in this locality is now nearly all in ruins. The provision shop of Mrs. Shiel, with a row facing All Saints' Church, including Mrs. M‘Kie's premises, are totally destroyed. Within the sacred edifice the de struction is most complete. The beautiful stained glass windows on each side of the pulpit representing the arms of the Corporation and Trinity House, are irreparably demolished ; the doors are torn from their fastenings, and the body of the church is strewed with the splinters and fragments of glass. During the conflagration, Mr. Dinne, the police superintendent, had a narrow escape. He was standing on a burning building, from which ladder communication had been cut off, and had to make ; SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 1 a spring for his life.

NEWCASTLE, Two O'CLOCK P.M.—Already the Ina joiity of the inhabitants of Newcastle and Gaieshea,i have made themselves acquainted with the general fea tures of the terrible disaster which has befallen these two towns, by personal observations from some point of view or other. On the memorable morning of the 6th of Oc tober, on the two si,des of Tyne Bridge three fires were simultaneously raging, each of them of a magnitude far transcending anything of the kind that has ever, per haps, occurred in this town before, and at least one of them involving a destruction of property that probably exceeds any that has for many years been caused in any city or town of this country. As detailed above, the first, and the producer of others, occurred on the river edge at Gateshead, and extended 200 yards, destroying in its course large and' well-stocked warehouses. In Newcastle the greater of the two fires has burned down a mass of closely packed build ings of at least a hundred yards square, lying between the Quay and the Butcher Bank, and between Grindon Chare and the Custom House. The other has rifled another set of buildings of a similar character, but of less extent, in a space enclosed by a triangle, the sides of which are represented by Pilgrim-street, Butcher-bank, and George's-stairs. Taken together, the fires, falling as they have chiefly upon the busiest part of the town, have inflicted an amount of loss that it will require, at the most mode rate calculation, at least 1,000,0001. to repair. We are afraid to approach the as yet undecided question of the extent of the loss of life, but already we fear that the deaths discovered amount to nearly a score, while the amount of serious bodily injury that has been caused is almost incalculable. • Under the still flaming ruins of the Gateshead warehouses, it, is certain that there are some, it is possible there are very many, poor follows lying as blackened corpses. The followidg is a list, as full as can be at present obtained, of the bodies which have been found : Mr. Davidson, jun., miller ' Gateshead. Mr. R. Pattinson, jun., Gallowgate, a member of the Town Council of Newcastle. Ensign Paynter, 26th Cameronians. Corporal Armstrong, ditto. Corporal Hamilton, hairdresser, Gateshead.

A. number of others in various places, of whom we have as yet received no account. Mr. Harrison, Head of Dean-street, is missing. Mr. Bertram, of Gateshead, also missing. In the hospital of the barracks, no fewer than forty soldiers are at present under surgical treatment for dif ferent and frequently severe injuries. In the lower part of Gateshead it is almost imposSible to make way through the streets, so overpowering is the vapour of burning sulphur ; and this effectually pre vents, for the present, any attempt to ransack the ruins, or even to approach them, with the object of preventing, the fire from spreading ; so that the most dreadful sus pense, as well as considerable danger, must continue to exist for some time, unless some plan can be hit upon to neutralise the effects of the fume with which the air is impregnated. No death has, so far as we are aware, resulted di rectly from the fire ; the entire of the fearful list of mor tality being attributable to the tremendous explosion in Mr. Bertram's bond warehouse. In this country the only parallels to this explosion are to be looked for in the depths of the most firy of our coal pits ; and even there we doubt if we can point to an occurrence so ex , tremely disastrous as this has been. It now appears more than probable that future investigation will elicit the fact that it is to gunpowder rather than to any for tuitous generation of gases from sulphur and nitrates that the great calamity is due ; but in the meantime nothing positive is known. Of course, a few days will bring the truth to light. At present the fire on the Quayside, where alone it may now be considered immediately dangerous, is in a great measure circumscribed, and will in all probability be prevented from extending.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 4. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of 'a despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Stockholm, inclosing a translation of a Proclamation issued by the Swedish Ministry . of Marine (copy of which is subjoined), notifying the " Flagmarks" which have been set up on cer tain shoals in the Gulf of Bothnia. (Copy.) (Translation.) The Royal Administration of Marine announces, for the irformation and guidance of Mariners, that according to, his Majesty's gracious command, a great flagmark has been set up on the east side of each of the two Fuingrunds, and on Grundkallegrund, situated in the South Qrarken, east of " Grason," viz.:— EAST FUINGRIRED, the shallowest portion of which is hardly 2 fathoms deep, with an extent of about 700 fathoms in length, from W.S.W. to E.N.E., in au average of 4 fathoms of water. East of the shallowest spot, at a distance of about 500 fathoms, 54 fathoms deep, a largo mark is moored, the iron cone of which bears an iron pole 12 feet long, painted white, and furui - 4hekl at the top with a large red ball, which is visible at a distance of 4 geographical mile. This shoal can bs sounded up to from the north. WEST FUINGRUND bag its shallowest spot only from sto 7 feet water. The shoal, which is of a triangular form, has its longest sides 4 and 703 fathoms in length in the respective directions of N.W. and S.E. About 330 fathoms from the shallowest point, and east of the same, in 6 fathoms water, a mark is set up of similar else and form to that on the east shoal, but its polo is painted red and its ball white ' • it also is visible at a distance of geographical mile. This shoal cannot be sounded up to from the north side with any security. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SlR,—The adoption of corn rents, based on the aver age prices of wheat, or of wheat, barley, and oats, for the farmers' year, ending on Michaelmas day, having been Stronglyadvocated by many gentlemen, as forming a more equitable bargain between the landlord and tenant, I was induced to make a communication to you, in October, 1353, and as a continuation, embracing the year ending Michaelmas-day, 1854, I have prepared the annexed statement. I also subjoin the weekly average, upon which the quarterly and annual average is founded, put into a shape more convenient for reference than the re• turn published in the London Gazette. It would tend very much to promote the extension of the system if a general plan of proceeding could be in troduced ; and, with a view to this object, it would be gratifying to me to be furnished with information as to the mode in which the adoption of corn rents bas been introduced and carried out in different parts of Eng land, particularly with reference to the high prices of grain. By way of example, we will suppose that a farm would be worth 3001. a-year rent, if the average prices were as follow, viz.: Wheat, 7s. Old. per imp. bushel, or 563. 2d. per imp. quarter Barley, 35.110. 31s. Bd. PP PP Oats ... 2s. 9d. 238. Od. pp Now, at these prices, if we turn one-third of the rent into each of the above kinds of grain, the corn rent will be— 284'866 bushels of wheat. 505 . 263 „ barley. 727'272 „ oats. And these quantities, valued into money, at the annual average prices ascertained up to each Michaelmas-day, w•iil give the rent from year to year during the continu ance of the agreement.—l am, &c., CHARLES M.

At this extensive shoal, the limits of which are not fixed, are found alternately, deep water up to 10 fathoms and more, great pieces of rock, and isolated stones, one of which is visible above the water. East of one of these shallow points, which has however no stone above the water, a large mark is moored, which has a pole 15 feet long, le upper end of which furnished with a red streamer. The mark stands in a depth of 9 fathoms, and about 330 fathoms from the Shallows itself. This mark is visible about a geographical mile off in favourable weather. So far as is known, this 'shoal, the extent of which from N. to S, is about a geographical mile, cannot be sounded up to. To avoid it, one must keep eastward till Understen, or some other known spot comes in sight, by which the course can be shaped. All the directions here given are reckoned by well-regulated compasses. Stockholm, 18, August 1854. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 5. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at Christiania, modifying the regulations respecting quaran tine for cholera on the south coast of Norway, of which the following is a copy. (Copy.) (Translation.) By the highest authority it has been graciously re solved •- • First—That along the whole coast from the Swedish frontiers to Bergen, that town Mid harbour, with channels leading to it, all restrictions with respect to cholera on vessels arriving frOm an infected or uninfected port in the country ofabroad, are annulled, unless_during the voyage they have had, or on arrival they have, any one,on board sick of, or dead from, malignant cholera ; in which case qurrantine will have to be observed in conformity with the 1 § of the Royal Resolution of the 25th June, 1849. Second—That with respect to the quarantine in the ports of the kingdom, the same rule is to be observed as regards vessels arriving from a national port, but conform. able to the existing regulations for vessels arriving from foreign ports._ _ _ Third - -That all quarantine against cholera in infected places is abrogated. (Signed) PETERSEN. RCEDER. The Royal Norwegian Marine Department, Sept. 21, 1854. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 5. The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through. the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de spatch from her Majesty's Consular Agent, at Batavia, transmitting a proclamation of the 23d June, 1854, by which the Government of Netherlands India have declared the ports of Amboyna, Banda, Ternatte, and Rajalie free ports ; and in the closed or smaller ports of the Moluccas, goods shipped by native crafts from the above ports, and vice versa, are to be exempt from import and export duties. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 6. The Right Honourable tho , Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have 'received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam, inclosing a Notice to Mariners, issued by the Netherlands Minister of Marine (a translation of which is subjoined), relative to the lighting of the Coast Lights on the Island of Schiermonuikoog. (Copy.) (Translation) NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Minister of Marine gives further notice that the ights on the two newly-erected lighthouses on the Island of Schiermonnikoog have been lighted on the evening of Ist of September for the first time, and since that day burn every•night from sunset to sunrise; that the two fixed lenticular lamp lights aforesaid, being of the third TIIZO, are each placed on a round tower of stone, ,on the saudhills, standing N.W. by N. and S.E. by S. at a dis tance of 1008 Netherland ells (3211 Rhineland feet) from each other. The most southerly and highest light stands 44.9 oils (143 Rhineland feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 28 m. 56 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 in. 49 s. longi tude east of Greenwich ; illumines a bow of the horizon of 245 deg., namely, from E.N.E. through the north and west, to the south. The most northerly light stands 42.30 ells (135 Rhine land feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 29w. 14 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 in. 3 s. longitude east of Greenwich; illumines a bow of the horizon of 135 deg., and likewise from E.N.E. through the north, to W.N.W. . According to observations taken from the deck of a pilot boat, with the eye 3 Netherland ells (11 Rhineland feet) above the surface of the water, it appears— . That the Lights of Schiermonnikoog, bearing 'W S.W. (rather west), and at the same time the Light of Borkum, bearing S.E. 4 S. at the depth of fully 71 a 8 fathoms, are lost sight of or declined (and the most northerly first) at a distance of fully 31 German sea miles (14 English miles). These lights, bearing S.E. by S. to S.E., with the" eye at the same elevation above the surface of the water, then at 14 fathoms' depth, with fine greyish sand bottom and with the lights level with the ho, izon to the eye, steering S.W. by S. and S.S.W. to wards the coast, the most northerly light disappears in the E.S.E. (rather east), being there at 51 and nearly 6 fathoms' depth, close against thei Ameland shore, the steeple of Nes on Ameland bearing S.W., which cross-bearing accordingly gives a distance there of fully 34 miles (13 English miles) from the most northerly light of Schiermonnikoog. It has likewise been found that coming round the east from sea, and getting both these lights in view in W.S.W., and steering for them, one runs along and free of the west point of the Borkum Reef and the Geldzak Shoal,4at 4. a 5 fathoms' depth. By keeping these lights together in one and the same line, bearing S.E. by S., this direction is very useful for observation above the Friesland Sea Gat. Inside, towards the west and south side, the Most south erly light remains visible to between Oostmahorn and the Zoutkamp, in the passage the Slenk, somewhat l S.E. of the buoy called the Babbelaar, near the Vlakken br Schel phoek, where the light then diminishes and disappears in the N. # W. It has also been observed that the Lights of Schiermon nikoog, at ordinary - view and with the eye, 4 ells (12i Rhineland feet) above water, aro quite visible at a distance of fully 4 miles (16 English miles), more or less, according to the state of the atmosphere, and in proportion as the eye is raised above the surface of the water. These lights retain a bright brilliancy until they are ex tinguished; they likewise rise brightly above the horizon, and only there, where according to the above-described lines of compass, illumination commences or terminates ; they neither increase nor decrease suddenly, but gradually : at two miles' distance from these Lighthouses, both Lights are visible at equal heights above the horizon. The above bearings are according to non-adjusted com pass, the non-adjustment calculated at 21 deg. 42 m. N.W., and the depth as at ordinary low water. The Hague, 21st September.
