When put in she will proceed to Chatham to fit out: Theilloiatio, 22, Commander Joiner, is still in Sheer riess-harbour. We hear she has received enters to get ready for sea immediately.

The leak in the Cossack, 21, screw, Captain E. G. Fanshawe, cannot be discovered. Consequently she is again to be taken into dock at Davenport. It appears that it must be the same leak she had before she went on shore, as she now makes the same quantity of water. The Pylades, 21, screw-corvette,ls in No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, and a number of mechanics of all grades are at work at her. She is to be brought forward with all possible despatch, and when completed will form one of the most useful class of vessels in the service, as when ready for sea she is expected not to draw more than 18 or 19 feet of water. . The Leopard, 18, paddle, Captain George Giffard, Portsmouth, will be ready for sea on the 10th proximo.

" The left column, under tLe command of Lieut.- General Pauloff, had orders to occupy, with 12 Regi ments of Chasseurs of Borodino, Okhotsk, and Taren• tiro, and two companies of the 4th battalion of Rifle , men, and te dear theolefilea verveleel with thick brushwood situated beyond the Telternaya-Retchka, while the rest of the troops advanced by the oew road called that of the Sappers. Then, forming in order of battle between the ravine Kilene-Balka and the defiles in question, that column was to act at the same position as that of Lieut.- General Soimonoff. " Very unfortunately, the column of Lieut.-General Soimonoff, instead of taking the position indicated above, passed by the right bank of the ravine Kileueßalka, and itninediately upon the break of day, without wait ing for the arrival of the left column, made a rapid -:movement in advance--.-4 movement, however, which it was forced to make by the sharp fire from the carbines of the enemy, who, not heing threatened upon his left flank, was able to concentrate all his forces between the source of" the ailene-Balks and the valley 'of In kerman, upon ground very easy of defence The first line were the regiments of Tomsk and Kolyvan, fol lowed by the Catherinenburg Regiment of Infantry. Behind the right flank of these troops were, under the command of Major-General Jabokritsky, the infantry Reeiment of Boutyisk, and the Chasseurs of Ouglitch, and the Ist brigade of the 16th Division of Infantry, as a reserve to cover the right flank, according to the plan of attack by the left bank of the Kilene-Balka, " In order to escape from the murderous fire from the carbines of the enemy, the regiments of Tomsk and Kolyvan, preceded by a chain of Riflemen, also armed with carbines, formed themselves into columns of com panies, and rushed upon the enemy, supported by the battery of position No. 2, of the 10th Brigade of Ar tillery ; the battery of position No. 1, of the 16th Brl 7 gads ; and the light battery No. 4, of the 17th Brigade. The Chtisseurs 'pursued the enemy without stopping. The 2d battalion of the Regiment of Tomsk and the first two battalions of Kolyvan rushed upon *battery of the enemy and spiked two of its guns; the Ist and the 3d battalions of the Catherinenburg Regi ment of Infantry rushed in advance and upon the right across the Ki!ene-Balka, and carried by assault a part of the enemy's camp, where they spiked fodr guns. This successful movement was' stopped by tliq loss, almost simultaneously, of Lieutenant General Soimonoff, mortally wounded ; Major-General De Villebois, com mander of the 2d brigade of the 113th Division.of In fantry ; Colonel Zagoskine, commander of the 10th Bri gade of Artillery, and the commanders of the Regiments of Catherinenburg, Tomsk, and Kolyvan, which lost at the same time their commanders of battalions and a great number of , officers killed or wounded. "The regiments of the brigade of Chasseurs of the 10th Division of Infantry and the 2d and 4th battalions of the Infantry Regiment of Catherinenburg were obliged to descend to the upper part of the ravine, where there is a stone quarry ; a vtky brisk fire took place upon this point. By order of Major-Genbral Jabo kritsky the battery of position No. 2 of the 10th Brigade of Artillery, and the battery of position No. 1 of the 16th Brigade, with the light batteries Nos. 4 and 5 of the 17th Brigade. occupied a height situated behind the ravine of Kilene-Balka, find to the right, parallel with its direction. The infantry Regiment of Boutyrak was posted on the left bank Of the battery, that of the Chasseurs of Oeglitch at the right flank, and the first brigade of the 16th Division &Infantry remained in re serve Lehind the right flank. " Almost simultaneously with the attack of the 10th Division of Infantry, the Regiments of Chasseurs of Tarentino and Borodino, formed in parties of Columns by companies and preceded by two companiei of the 4th battalion of Riflemen, and all their men armed with carbines, took part in the action. The movement of these troops assisted iu forcing the enemy to give way before the rapid attack of the right column. Afterwards, when the regiments of the 10th Division of - Infantry descended into dui ravine, those above.nained also took part in the fire against the enemy, and the combat was warmly continued, with alternate success. More than once the enemy was closely surrJunded and driven back upon his right flank, but having all his fdrces concentrated there heiresisted our attack. Towards 8 o'clock iu the morning, after a march which presented very' great obstacles, the rest of the troops of the left column reached the steep heights —viz., the Regiment of Chasseurs of Okhotsk, those of the Infantry of Yakoutsk and Selinghinsk, with the batteries of position No, 3 of the 11th Brigade of Artil lery, and No. 1 of the 10th Bri g ade, and eight guns of the battery of p os i t i on N o, 3o f the 17th Brigade. I placed those batteries upon our left flank, at the extre mity of which afterwards arrived two batteries of light horse artillery of the Don, which could not take part in the battle in consequence of the position occupied by the enemy being too distant. "During the battle the battery of position No. 2 of the 10th Brigade of Artillery, eight guns of the bat tery of position No. "3, and the light battery No. 4 of the 17th Brigade, which bad lost many men and horses, were replaced by the light batteries Nes. 1 and 2 of the 10th Brigade and No, 3 of the 11th Brigade, which re mained in position until the end of the affair. " In order to support the battle which was going on in the ravine, i n a d vance of our l e ft fl an k, Idirected upon that point the Regiment of Chasseurs of Okhotsk, which, forming its 3d and 4th battalions in columns by companies, made a resolute movement in advance, and took possession of a redoubt of the enemy with nine guns, three of which were carried off and thrown into the ravine, and the others spiked. Colonel Bibikoff, commander of the regiment, and the greater portion of his superior and subaltern officers were wounded in this attack. The enemy, on his part, continued to bring up fresh troops to the spot where a portion of the French troops arrived, which forced the Regiment of Okhotsk to fall back. Profiting by a deep ravine which covered the left flank of our position, I again , successively or dered to advance the Regiments of Yakoutsk and Selinghinsk to support our left flank in the ravine. The Regiment of Yakoutsk charged with impetuosity the English w h o h ad repulsed the Regiment of Chasseurs of Okhotsk, and, after having at first overthrown the enemy with great success, was in its turn forced to abandon the battery of which it had taken possestion, and compelled to retreat by a violent fire of carbines, and by the French troops, which came up to the assist anc'a of the English. " Not having any more troops in reserve at the left flank, I ordered the Ist Brigade of the 16th Division of Infantry to come up, At the same time the enemy continued to defend himself with peculiar obstinacy, and, as reinforcements of fresh French troops 'arrived, we were obliged to yield to the superiority of his forces. The troops who had fought in the ravine marched, a portion by the valley of Inkertnan, by the passage .of the Tchernaya Retchka, aud the rest fell back upon the principal position. In order to cover the movement of the loft flank m the valley of Inkerman, I also sent the Infantry Regiment of Vladimir, which p er f ec tly f u lfill e d its mission, and its commander, Colonel Delwig, was wounded. Soon afterwards the murderous fire of the enemy's artillery forced us to retreat upon the town. This movement was effected without obstacle and with out an attack from the enemy. "In this affair all the troops, from the chiefs to the lowest soldier, fought with a spirit worthy of the armies of his Majesty the Emperor. P on IVATKINS'S DIRECTORY.-BLUNDERS.

"At 10 o'clock in the morning, at the moment when the battle on the heights of Inkerman was already in full activity, Major-General Timoteieff, with the Infantry Regiment of Minsk, and four guns of the light battery No. 4 of the 14th Brigade of Artillery, axecuted a sortie from Sebastopol against the left flank of the enemy's works. Emerging -by the gate situated to the right of the bastion No. 6, this column crossed the ravine of the Quarantine Bay, passed the cemetery more to the left, and began to close in upon the enemy. I n a d vance marched two battalions in cllumns by companies, covered by a chain of riflemen, and having the artillery guns between the battalions. They were followed by two other battalions, in,columns of attack. "After having routed the enemy even to his entrench ments, the battalions charged with the b a y one t an d rushed upon the batteries. Sonic pursued the enemy from one point to the other, and the rest made to his guns, 15 of which were spiked. " While this was going forward the enemy, recovered from his surprise, began to send troops. Major-General Timoffieff demanded reinforcements. Two battalions of the 13th brigade of reserve (the sth of the Regiment of Brziesc and the 6th of that of Wilna) and the six last guns joined him. " Having formed these battalions into columns by companies, and Placed the artillery between them, on . • . 40* , . . ..... . ..,.. .- . 7/ r, • , ~- • • , - „..

Vorobieff." "In addition to these details of the battle of the sth Of November, his Majesty the Emperor has also received from Aide.de-Camp General Prince Measchikoff the two following reports, dated the 12th of November :--- if 4 1. " 'lndependently of the flattering words of your Impe rial Majesty to the army and the garrison •f Sebastopol —words which I transmitted by a special order of the da►y, in execution of your orders—Prince Galitzin, aide de-camp of your Imperial Majesty, has fulfilled with ex actitude the mission confided to him. Ho went through all the bastions and all the batteries where the sailors are stationed and fight: The thanks and encouragements of the Sovereign of which Prince Galitzie had the honour to be the bearer, addressed to these brave sailors in .the name of your Imperial Majesty, not only redoubled the ardour, but also touched every oue of there to the bottom 'of his soul. They listened.- with tears of emotion to the words of their Monarch and Father, full of solicitude for. his well-beloved children, as your Majesty deigned to ex press yourself in the receipt with which you honoured 'nie , on the 31st of this month. _ _ . It was with an equal sentiment of pious and grate ful veneration that the troops received the gift and the blessing of her Majesty the Empress. After a religious ceremony, the image of the Saviour, brought by Prince Gahtzin, *as taken, acccinpa,nied by all the inhabitants of the town, from the church of St. Michael. to the Niche,lasliattery, and thence that holy image was taken, with the appropriate religious ceremony, to all the bastions and all the batteries, to bless the defenders of them. AU the men present, having listened with pious attention to the address of the priest, prayed with fer vour, and went and kissed the holy image of the Saviour. " ' This image is now deposited in the locality pre pared for it near the entrance gate of the Nicholas Battery. " In my report, addressed to your Imperial Majesty immediately after the great sortie from Sebastopol on the sth of November, t have already had the honour to bear testimony that their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Nicholas Nicholaievitch and Michael proved themselves upon the field of battle, not only in every respect worthy of their high position by facing danger with coolness, but they also set the example of the true courage of the warrior. Their presence in the midst of the fire excited all and each to fulfil their sacral duties towards the Sovereign and the country. " The troops intrusted to mycommand were witnesses of this, and the intrepidity which they exhibited in the battle, so obstinate on both sides, was cau.,ed by the knowledge that the sons, so dear to the Monarch and to Russia, were in our ranks, and that every one ought to take example by their sell-denial. In my order of the day of the 10th of November I thought it my sacred duty to recall to the recollection of the troops these warlike virtues of the Grand Dukes, and I took the liberty of saying that under the fire of the enemy they had shown themselves to be brave Russian soldiers. " ' After having exhibited upon the field of battle the full extent of their courage and coolness, the Grand Dukes wished on that very day to visit the bastions and the batteries, in order to bear in person to the brave sailors the thanits of the monarch, in execution of your orders. At tins moment almost all the batteries were in action, and particularly at the kourgan Malakhoff the firing was so incessant that the whistling of the balls, and even of the bullets from the carbines, was heard by the Grand Dukes along all the road leading to the bastion. At the kourgan Malakhoff the enemy afforded to the defenders et Sebastopol a precious opportunity to join their proved courage with the first manifestation of that of the well-beloved sons of Russia. In presence of their Highnesses, and almost at their feet, two of the enemy's balls fell its the parapet ; a third, which reached the - wall separating two embrasures, covered the men at the guns with earth ; and, lastly, as if to complete the proof, a shell destroyed a building before their eyes, while at a few paces from it their Highnesses were ani mating. the combatants by the flattering words of your Majesty. " 'lt would be useless to say that during all these in stants, which might have proved mortal to them, the Grand Dukes showed themselves, I venture to repeat it here, to be true determined Russian soldiers. " ' Your Imperial Majesty would fill with joy the whole army under my command by conferring upon their Highnesses the order of military merit which in thought has been unanimously bestowed upon them by us. The Order of St. George of the Fourth Class, for bravery, if granted by your Majesty to their Highnesses, who have justly merited it, would be hailed as a high and inesti mable mark of favour by all the troops under my com mand, who were witnesses of the courage and intrepidity of - the Grand Dukes, in whose persons your Majesty, and the whole of Russia, have the happiness and the right to pride themselves and rejoice.' " Such flattering testimony rendered by the Com. minder-in• Chief to the warlike qualities displayed by his youngest sons before the eyes of the whole army caused sincere joy in the paternal heart. of the Emperor. His Imperial Majesty, in conformity with the proposal of Aide-de•Camp-General Prince Menschikofi, has deigned to confer upon their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Nicholas Nicolaievitch and Michael Nicolaievitch the Order of St. George of the Fourth Class." SOUTH AUSTRALIAN AND NEW SOUTH The Australian papers received by the overland ma show that the recent proposition of the Governor o South Australia for a railway of 1,000 miles, to connec that colony with Victoria and New South Wales, at a cost of 10,000,0001., the interest on which should be guaranteed by the Home Government, has awakened much attention, and furnished a topic for prominent discussion in the principal journals. Its practical un soundness, however, notwithstanding its dazzling features, seems to have been recognised to a consider als!e, extent, and the Melbourne Argus and Adelaide Times both express their views of the hopelessness of the scheme. In the latter paper it is observed : " The message of Sir Henry Young to the local Legisla ture, forwarding co'pies of a despatch from his Excellency to the Duke of Newcastle, containing suggestions for tie formation of a grand trunk line of railway connecting the capitals of South Australia, New South Wales, and Vic toria, is before us. We fully recognise the paramount ad vantages certain to accrue to the Australian colquies from the establishment of a cheap and speedy system of in tercommunication with their capitals, when such a system can be accomplished with a due regard to the prospect of an ultimate return ; but we trust we shall ever be found in the ranks of those opposing, by all means, the prosecu tion of chimerical designs, which, like that now under c onsideration, can alone result in the retardment of that prosperity which it is their object to promote. The axiom about its being necessary to creep before commencing to walk is applicable to all young colonies, and, as being especially so to one whose career , up to the present p e ri od, has been distinguished by the most rapid strides to wards permanent commercial prosperity, should be borne in mind accordingly. Of the fatal results of au opposite course of policy, it is greatly to be feared that era long examples will not be wanting ; and it be hoves ' South Australia, as a means of retaining the posi tion she has reached, to act with circumspection, and to regard with the utmost jealousy propositions of a public character which, however apparently brilliant, may, too late, be discovered to have been producitive of incalculable mischief. " At the very outset the great difficulty of raising se largo a sum by loan from the Eglish Government, on the terms set forth in the suggestions, appears to be insuper able, and can only be looked upon as a proposition which ' will be dismissed without a moment's favourable conside ration. We should be asking the British Government to guarantee a loan for the construction of the proposed works ' immediately after having received from them the inesti mable boon of an unfettered control over the enormous and valuable territory of Crown lands which the Austra -1 ban colonies contain within their limits. Apart, however, from this consideration, we entertain strong doubts of the disposition of the Governments of the sister colonies in the matter, and perhaps any very elaborate speculation in reference to it is as well delayed until their inolination to co-operate has been ascertained." MURDER AT MARTHILL, IN SCOTLAND.—A brutal and unaccountable murder has been perpetrated at Maryhill, in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. A Plan about fifty, pained John Welsh, who had been employed in watching the surface works at Kelvinside ironstone pit, was found lying in a state of insensibility from various recent and where consciousness gradually returned, severe wounds about the head. He was immediately ah9nmieed'but upon ical examination his wounds were found conveyed and, as he appeared to be fast to be of a fatal cha racter ; sinking, his dying deposition was takes, which is said to amount in substance to the following :—He was watch ing at the works at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, when a young man, a coal drawer, named Alexander Stewart, came to him and asked for a light of his pipe. H e gave bite a light, and they talked together for some time, when Stewart lifted one of the workmen's picks from among a number, and in a half-jestin,g mood said, " John, would that kill a man ?" Welsh answered, "Yes, and it would kill a horse." Scarcely had the words been uttered when Stewart struck Welsh four severe blows on the head, face, and neck with the pick, levelling him to the ground in a state of insensibility, and thus was he found as already described. The poor man died from is wounds about four o'clock on Monday • morning.—or h tli, Billies Mail. - - PRICE RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BOARD OF TRADE LIST OF NEW RAIL- WAY BILLS.

Major-General Simpson, Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, is appointed Deputy Adjutant-General to the Forces, vice Sir G. A. Wetherall, C. 8., K.H., ap pointed Adjutant General at the Horse Guards. This makes the Governorship of Portsmouth and the command of the South-Western District vacant. So scarce have the troops become that the Major-General commanding at Portsmouth has informed the Admiral Superintendent of that dockyard, for the information of the Lords of the Admiralty, that, after a few more days, he will not be able to furnish any troops for dockyard duties or guards. This, it is expected, will necessitate the calling into ser vice of the dockyard brigades for the duties of those , establishments. THE TRANSPORTS. The Royal serew-transport Perseverance, commanded by Commander Pullen, late of the North Star, in the Arctic Regions, with Mr. Krabbe, as second in com mand, who was master of the screw-tender Intrepid, in the Arctic expedition, is being fitted out with all de spatch to take troops and stores to the Black Sea, where she will in some degree repair the loss of screw-transports suffered by the fatality to the Prince, and the disabled state of her Majesty's screw-transport Himalaya ' aryl Cambria, paddle, which ships, it is said, must comehome to be docked, the Himalaya having her shaft casing in jured. The African, paddle-steamer, is in Sheerness basin under the sheers, hoisting on board the lower masts and yards of the Perseverance. She is expected to sail for Woolwich to-day (Friday). The Moubrey, steam-tug, and Goodwill, lighter, have arrived at Woolwich from Sheerness, with part of her spars and rigging. The Cumberland, chartered steam-transport, arrived in Portsmouth Harbour yesterday afternoon, to receive on board the portable barracks. TRIALS OF THE LANCASTER GUN. - - Notwithstanding the late period of the season and re- cent unfavourable weather, the Royal Artillery, under Colonel Wilson, at Shoeburyness, continue to carry on very important experiments at that long range. Mr. Lancaster is still indefatigable in his exertions to make his shell as perfect as possible, and the shells on his principle are being made in great numbers for actual service. The recent impreveinents have been so effective that the shells have been carried 600 yards longer range, with a charge of 21b. less powder (the former charge being 121 b., and the new charge 10Ib.) than had been obtained on any previous occasion. The practice with the new description of howitzer, weighing 125 cwt., on Colonel Chaliner's plan, has been splendid, the range obtained with le-inch shot being 5,500 yards. Government, it is understood, intend to make Lancaster's shells in large numbers, under the superintendence of competent persons and their own workmen. RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday the preliminary notices required by the Court of Admiralty in respect to the Russian ♦essel Wilda, prize to her Majesty's steamer Cruiser ; and the Hannah Maria and Magle,prizes to her Majesty's steamer Archer, having expired, the -court will proceed to con demn them forthwith, and issue decrees of sale for the benefit of their captors. THE WHEAT CONTRACT. Contracts were taken at the Royal Clarence Victu. ailing-yard. Gosport, by Rear-Admiral Courtenay yes , terday for 2,000 quarters of wheat, at an average of 745, per quarter. MILITARY. Captain Bourke contrn:Lnds the depot of the 34th, at Plymouth, whence Major Kelly proceeds with a draft of 150 men, to follow the regiment from Corfu to the Crimea. Recruiting parties left Chatham on Thursday—for the 76th Regiment to Alsforn, near Farnham, and the 61st to Norwich. The Ist Royals depot is ordered from Castlebar to Athlone, to be replaced by a company of the 40th depot from Galway. - Colonel John L. Denis is in command of the 94th at Windsor, with the following Officeri :—Captain H. L. Caife, Captain A. Maclean, Lieut. Oswald de L. Priaulz, and Lieut. John Murray. The head-quarters are ex pected to leave Chatham in a few days at Wellington Barracks. An order was received on Monday to form the depot of the 72d Highlanders in Limerick. On Tuesday 800 stand of old musketry belonging to the 72d were deposited in the armoury of the Ordnance depot in Limerick, and replaced by 800 stand of Minie rifles. All the Irish artillery regiments of militia are to be drilled at Woolwich. MILITIA. Colonel Bingham has received official orders' for the immediate assembling of the Dorset Militia, which are under his command. Before being appointed on garrison duty the men will have 28 days' drill at Dorchester. The First Devon Militia Regiment is making great efforts to increase its stringtb, in anticipation of many of its members volunteering into regiments of the line. The staff commenced recruitint , at Exeter on Friday, and on Saturday they went to'Crediton, where a few men volunteered. They have also visited other places during the week for the sane purpose. Tbe Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire has intimated to the officers and staff of the 2d Regiment of Staffordshire Militia, at the head-quarters at Stafford, thAt he expects immediately to receive her Majesty's warrant directing him to embody that regiment forthwith. The regiment is commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Littleton, ISLE, who is at present at Madeira. In his absence, the com mand devolves upon Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Uxbridge, M.P. The Government have since intimated that the 3d Regiment of Staffordshire Rifle Militia, com manded by Colonel Bagot, will be ordered out as well as the 2d. WINE FOR SCUTARI HOSPITAL. —lt was stated Wednesday; upon high authority, in the Central Crim nal Court now in session, that a letter had been received from Miss Nightingale, in which she stated that so great was the want of proper necessaries in the hospitals at Scutari that there were only a few bottles of wine for the use of the sick and wounded troops. Immediately upon the fact becoming kriown to the sheriffs, they in the most prompt and kind manner got up a subscription, the amount of which was handed over to Mr. Alderman Finnis, who volunteered to immediately procure a pipe of port wine, to be at once despatched to the East for the use of our brave troops. FLOODS IN THE NORTH.—A succession of heavy showers on Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night, have swollen the rivers Irwell and Mersey very considerably. During Tuesday night and Wednesday morning the rain fell in torrents, mingled with hail. At Broughton, above Manchester, the Irwell had overflowed its banks and flooded the fields on either side , and the sam e result I bad followed at Throstle Nest, below that town. Near Sale and Ashton-on -Mersey, four miles west of Man chester, the Mersey had overflowed its banks and laid great quantities of Meadow land under water ; and from the rate at which the floods were accumulating great mischief was feared ; but towards noon on Wednesday a strong north wind sprung up, dispersing the clouds, and bringing with it a total change of weather for the remainder of the day. The wind was exceedingly cold, but drying, and almost blew a gale during the after noon. EXTENSITE CONFLAGRATIONS. Yesterday morning, shortly after three o'clock, the inhabitants of Wellclose-square were aroused from their slumbers by the springing of policemen's rattles and a loud cry of "fire." It soon became apparent that the misfortune had taken place in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Safron, la cabinet maker, carrying on busi ness at No. 2 in the before-named square. The build ing in which the fire commenced was scarcely 40 feet long, and of proportionable width, and was well filled with goods of nearly every description made in the trade, whilst the open yard between the work shops and private dwelling-house was stored with timber, so that at one period nothing short of the complete destruction of Mr. Safron's premises and those in North-east-passage could be expected. Owing to the very inflammable nature of the stock-in-trade, consisting of such a large quantity of dry timber, the progress of tke fire was unusually rapid, so that in less than ten minutes after the alarm had been sounded the range of workshops presented one tremendous blaze. The three engines of the London Brigade stationed in the square were promptly in attendance, and the reflec tion of the fire in the atmosphere was so strong as to cause a general turn-out of the more distant engines, so that at oue time the engines of Watling-street, Farring don-street, and Jeffrey-square depots, as well as that of the West of England office, from the Waterloo-road, were proceeding along the road towards the fire with all possible expedition. Upon arriving there an abundan, supply of the East London Company's water was pro cured, when the firemen went to work most vigorously, but in spite of their exertions the fire continued to rage fearfully, and it could not be extinguished until the whole of the workshops were burned down, and the stock in trade therein, including the men's tools, was likewise consumed. The whole of the stock in trade in the open yard is in addition extensively burned. The origin of the fire is unknown. Fortunately, the sufferer was in sured in the Sun Fire Office. flefore the above fire was subdued an express arrived with intelligence that a serious fire hall broken out at the Bow-station of the North London Railway. As many engines as could be spared from Wellclose-square fire were despatched to Bow, and on reaching the sta tion they found that the outbreak had taken place in a long range of premises recently- erected and used as the blacksmiths' shops, the repairing engine -houses, and other workshops. The flames were first discovered by a policemen of the K division, by his seeing them issuing through the roof of the smiths workshops. He at once called up the men employed at the station, and, strange to say, he seat off to Wel'close square for the aid of the engines 'stationed there, not knowing that a fire was raging there ; the oo nsecinenz was that three engines of the London establishm ent, a that of the West of England office, were enabledetotstart to the scene, and on arriving the firemen n found that the parish engine was already at work. der the direc tion of Mr. P.

The public meeting of the city of Westminstin atti, of the Patriotic Fund, adjourned from the IGth OfNcr yember, was held yesterday in St. Martin's-hall ; Mr. F.. Smedly, High Bailiff of Westminster, in the chair. The attendance at the commencement of the proceedings was rather small, but became larger towards the conclu sion, and there was a consialerableninster of ladies-in the galleries. On the platform were the Bishop of .London Sir J. Shelley, M.P., Admiral Bowles, the Rev. Mr. Cureten, and several other gentlemen connected with the city of Westminster. The HIGH BAILIFF, after stating the object of the meeting, observed that he had received a letter. from Lord Onleen, expressing his great regret that he was unable to ho present hi consequenee of a Cabinet Council. He had nisi received a letter from the Duke of Boo clench, in which it was stai,ol that his absence front town pre vented his being at the meeting, but requesting that his name should be pat down, aq High Steward of West minster, for 250/. (Cheers.) He had obtained, he might say, piles of letters from other noblemen and gentlemen, assigning as a reason for their not attending their ab sence from town, and stating that they had subscribed in their own localities. There were depatations present, he was happy to say, from several of the most important parishes of Westminster, and he had no doubt that, in the matter of subscriptions, all of them would do their duty. (Cheers.) • - Mr. HANSARD, the printer, announced a subscription On the part of the workpeople in his employment. The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution, which was as follows :-- "That this meeting, while deeply deploring the loss of valuable life occasioned by the war, responds with eine- Cons of love, loyalty, and gratitude to the call of her Majesty for the formation of a Patriotic Fund to mitigate the sufferings of the widow and the orphan ; and is at the same time desirous to record its deep sense of grati tude to Almighty God for His past mercies and its de vout dependence upon Him for the future, imploring way, to mitigate the horrors Him, in His own time and of war, and bestow upon us the blessings of peace." The right rev: prelate said he was glad to see so many present, though the attendance was not, es s ie e p s , so numarous as might have been expected from, the large and important city of Westminster. (Rear, hear.) But it. was to be remembered that some of the most influen tial persons whose assistance they depended upon were detained by engagements of the highest importance, while many others who resided in Westminster were employed in trade and commerce in other parts of Lon don' and had already liberally subscribed to the fund. He did not, therefore, regard the comparatively scanty attendance as indicative of any want of sympathy with the object for which they were assembled. (Hear, hear.) He was sure they would all cordially respond to that part of the resolution which referred to the debt of gratitude they owed to her Majesty fur the establishment of the Patriotic Fund, and the appointment of a Royal Com mission, which enabled the public to contribute without any misgiving as to the liberal, equitable, and discreet distribution of the money intrusted to their hands. They owed also to her Majesty an acknowledgment of the deep sympathy she had on all occasions expressed towards those of her subjects who were engaged in fighting her battles ; ' and he might, without impropriety, state that, he had \ been honoured with the sight of a private letter from her Majesty, speaking in the most feeling manner both of the pride which she felt at the gallantry and self devotion of her army and navy and of her deep sorrow at the heavy loss they had sustained. (Cheers.) They had, indeed, to deplore the loss of many valuable lives, and it was grievous to think how many families had been placed in mourning by the casualties of the war ; but -that many more such casualties would occur it was impossible to doubt, when they looked at the manner in which the war was carried on and the fosrful odds against which our brave soldiers had to con tend—odds which they had hitherto been able to over match by the indomitable valour, perseverance, and energy which they had displayed. The losses we had sustained excited the deepest. feeling of sorrow in every English heart ; but with that feeling had mingled pride and thankful exultation at the manner in which our English soldiers had maintained their ancient repu tation--aye, and even exceeded it—by defeating armies many times their number, with the highest honour to themselves and ignominy and confusion to the foe. (Cheers.) They de - sired at the same time to record their deep sense of gratitude to Almighty God for his past mercies, and their devout dependence upon Him for the future. If there was a nation in the world which ought to express gratitude to the Supreme DispOser of all Events it was Great Britain, seeing the many signal in terpositions of Providence on our behalf—at one time overpowering great naval armaments that seemed des tined to crush our freedom and our church—at another, in the early part of this century, interposing to shield our country from the Power which then threatened to destroy us. (Hear, hear.) At the present moment we were standing forward in behalf of the liberty of Europe, and no one could say that we were actuated by molests purposes or by any desire of aggrandisement • and it was to God that we owed all the success which had hitherto attended our arms. We were at the same time to implore Almighty God, in his own time and way, to mitigate the horrors of war, and to bestow on us the blessings of peace. We were apt to look upon war as being loss of an evil, loss of a scourge inflicted on us by God, than it really was. Exempt by our insular posi tion from painful experience in the worst calamities of war, we were apt to think more slightly of those cala mities than we ought. We heard the echoes of the thunderstorm from a distance, but did not feel the flash of the lightning, or the power of the bolt. Yet how many families among us were feeling the horrors of war in being mutilated of their most precious members, and who mourned with only the consolation that their relatives and friends had fallen on the field of glory and in their service of their country, and, it was hoped, with the consolations of religion in their dying hour. (Hear.) They ought, then, to pray that these horrors should cease; and who could tell what would be the effect of the united prayers of a Christian nation addressed to the God of Peace to put an end to that which, no doubt for his own good purpose, he had inflicted on the nations of the world ! (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, the right rev. prelate expressed a hope that in the comeributions to this fund all classes would join, even the humblest and poorest, according to their means. In the parish of Fulham domestic servants and labourers had cheerfully contributed, and even the inmate% of almhouses had given their sixpences to the cause. SHear.) What was thrown into the treasury would not be judged of by the amount, for it was the motive that gave value to the gift. (Cheers.) Mr. JOSEPH WOOD seconded the resolution, which was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The next resolution was proposed by Sir J. SHRUM' : —" That this meeting, with a view to record its sense of the obvious duty devolved upon it to provide for those who have lost husbands or fathers while nobly defending the cause of its country and that of her ancient ally, do form a committee to raise funds in aid of the Patriotic; Fund." The hon. haronet said that he rejoiced in having the opportunity of lending his humble aid in support of the Patriotic Fund, aed he believed that such a spon taneous and voluntary subscription would be more grates ful to the feelings of British soldiers and sailors than any sum that could be voted as the result of a debate 1 in the House of Commons, and of a cold calculation of what amount would be sufficient. (Cheers.) Being assured that there was not a man who needed any incite ment to contribute to the full extent of his ability to the Patriotic Fund, he might content himself with simply moving the resolution he had proposed, if it were not that be felt he now stood in a peculiar position as their re presentative—though he would not say unfortunate position, for no elector of Westminster, he telt certain, begrudged to the tountry the able services rendered to it on the field of battle by his gallant colleague. (Loud cheers.) They all saw as they passed along the streets the anxious crowds perusing the announcements of the latest intelligence from the seat of war, and they .might be sure that Westminster, with its numerous inhabitants, looked with an anxious mind to the lists of those who suffered from casualties, to ascertain whether that brave old man who had been so long its honest r epresentative had suffered any misfortune. (Hear.) Many an anxious_ father and mother read the Gazette with the fond hope n ol finding some beloved name mentionedbweitnh honour disappointed,;s. in this respect Westminster had not Raglan in which the name of . . for scarcely a despatch had been G en re e c rn e ei l vel ir fr p i e Lord y to disease, was At length the brave old mac, su Evans was not honourably di,tLn u g ra tu b sh ia e g d.

The reoeuamendations which placed Sir De Lacy Evans in the proud position ke occu pied had been his own good sword, his gallantry, in domitable courage, and those eminent qualities whilii Is six e t t r i e s e c v o e u n r s h e o or horses his es k c i l a l r e e d e r u S n i d r e ll r e h i L m a , con stituted him one of the be s t o f so ldi ers.

(Loud icheere.) In concluding, the hon. baronet ex pressed his conviction that the House of Commons would show, by the readiness and liberality of its votes, its anxiety to strengthen the hands of the executive Go vernment so long as the latter exhibited a determination to bring the war, by vigorous efforts, to a speedy and successful termination. (Applause.) Admiral BowLns seconded the resolution, appealing to the ladies to promote, by their influence and exertions, the work of charity now being commenced, and feelingly alluded to the noble devotion exhibited by ""1e -04attbthier countrywomen in tending the wounded and si.• hospitals of the East. aft.or a few The resolution was carried unanimously , wards from Mr. D.
