DREADFUL CATASTROPHE IN _NEW CASTLE AND GATESHEAD From a Third Edition cf the Newcastle Chi% mide of Friday, October 6. About 20 minutes to one o'clock this mornb a fire broke out in the worsted manufactory of Me sgrs. Wil son and Son, in Hillgate, Gateshead, which sp re ad with inconceivable rapidity, and in less than half an hour the'place was from top to bottom one immense sheet of fire. The manufactory, it will be remembered, e va.s burnt down, just about three years ago, and has only - been re cently rebuilt in a most substantial manner, "sbut the large quantity of oil which was upon the premisE is offered such food to the flames that no part of the sto ci could possibly be rescued. The adjoining premises were of a most sub stantial character, having been built for a bonding stoi es a few years ago. The contents were chiefly sulphur, and the intense heat soon caused that substance to alt. It then escaped in a burning state from the windio w, and had a most remarkable effect. About two o'clock Messrs. Wilson's manufactex y was a total wreck, and the flames had nearly spent them selves on its contents. The firemen, accordingly, turned their attention to the stores ; but, in spite of ever exer tion, they were wholly unable to stay the progress of the flames, which gradually spread over the whole pr smises. The warehouses were fully 80 feet in length, by 20 in width, and six stories high ; and about 3 o'clocli ~ 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 remais ts to be told. It is unnecessary to say that such afi natu rally attracted the affrighted inhabitants of boil t towns to the banks of the river, and about ten mini x :,es past three a vast crowd was assembled. Suddenly a. tremen ous explosion—such an explosion as we nev ec r heard before and never wish to hear again—proceeded :from the burning mass ; and ignited materials, bricks, . atones, metal, and every article near NV 9.3 thrown int o the air with tremendous force, only to fall again upon I;la( dense masses of people all around. A prodigious qi tensity was thrown entirely across the river, and scores: .f spec tators upon the Quayside were thrown down. a ad in jured, many of them being rendered insensible. TI -e mass of burning embers set fire to the ships, and cm nil ig, over the Quay, entered into the houses opposite ; atnt a a mo ment the shops of Messrs. Spencer and Sons, :.‘lessrs. Smith and Ormston, and Messrs. Smith and (.10. , were in a blaze, while the uninjured standers by ruslase I off in all directions in search of safety ; several ens lea voured 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 vi het uence, and the shops above-mentioned, the offices ab‘sve them. the public houses of Mr. Teesdale and Mr. Be to y, and ninny private dwellings, were consumed in, eel npara tively speaking, a few minutes. rat the same ti me the workshops of Arr. Edgar, at the head of the :".4- ~ , r r. St sire, ignited by the same cause, were blast fearful rapidity, and being situated in one of the r • ensest pelts of the town, seemed to threaten wile.si ire; el de struction. About four o'cllck, the fire, having wrought its way amongst the closer,'-piled houses situated et, - t;le, b; (if the Quayside, broke through into the Butcher B:zu K, at Mr. Temple's paper warehouse. This wee s, er one sheet of flame, and in little more then half ae-144.)t r the house was an entire rein. By this time the flat•at 3 had also broken into the Bank at a furniture warehou, me occu pied by Mr. Piper, a little further up, and with o tench violence that attempts to check it would have be it vain, even if the means of doing so had been at hand. As it was the explosion had put the fire-engines entir 51:7 hors de combat at Gateshead, the stand-pipes and mar .y of the men having been buried in the ruins. Six o'clock a.m.—The frontage of the Quay side for more then fifty yards from the Grinding Char a, is en tirely levelled, and a clear view presented of t' le rifled and rained lanes and chares between the Qua' rmu d the Butcher Bank. In these the fire is still in nor ne ..)laces burpinf , with violence, and in others only smo old ering. Parts - of the framework of houses are still eta uding amongst the smoke, but as a whole the buil.iingi ; have fallen into a shapeless mass of smoking debyit , .. The house next to Mr. Snowden's bonded store is •in tirely in the poker of the flames, and must soon An interval of two houses then occurs, in which thi re is little fire, and as their walls and interior harp been well wet, it is barely possible that they may yet es cape. The -fire has, however, got hold of the next, h once, occupied by Mr. Morrison, sail-maker, and of and indicates that behind it the ravage s of the devouring element are is progress. As a last resort to check its progress down the Qu sy an attempt is being made to pull down a house a fee r doors shove the Custom-house, in order to make a clea r space which the lire may not be able to overleap. A. sea•ong cable, passed round the upper part of a house, h as been affixed to a steamer, which is endeavouring to pr ll 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 pea of Mr. Piper's shop, the framework of the house has I seen prevented from falling. Many houses are, hoere ver, completely gutted. The third house from the tot t of Pilgrim-street has fallen down, entirely destroyed_ The water from a hose-pipe has prevented the flames from extending fuither on either sine of the street-frrin tare, but the mass of buildings between the George-sta lrl s and the Butcher Bank is still burning furiously. A. pipe, apparently with a good supply of water, has le lei got down the stairs, and may have some effect in as re Ming or limiting the work of destruction. GATESHEAD. The explosion here, besides doing immense dar cage, naturally helped to increase the extent of the fire., The old houses in Hillgate were left one mass of ruins s; seve ral of them took fire together, and being already-:heated by the flames, they fell a ready prey. In great u ses.sure, however, the destruction has been confined to t he ware houses on the river side, and these to an extent of more than one hundred yards are totally destroyed, me of them continuing to burn fiercely up to eight o'clok. 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 veer e, 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 sulphurousevapour which was borne as cross 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 debria 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 Canaerorians. He was buried amongst the ruins of a house in and hie 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, naptlia, sulphur., an d other highly inflammable material, llut as far as 07. n be ascertained there was lid gunpowder in the place.. The articles enumerated, though of a highly coribuslible 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 Ily 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 Cates head to the roof of the Ridley Arms, in Pilgrim -street. Into one place, at least 200 yards from Jl;ei ga l e , a stone, which would weigh about half a hundred weiebt, was hurled by the force of the explosion, but h app il y i t fell in a yard without doing any harm. A, smaller s t one , however, fell a little beyond this and 'oroke 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. On the Sandhill nine out of ten shop fronts and house win dows were completely blown out. In Dean-street, Mos ley-street, 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 windows 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 people 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.

One body i b n a h r a b t e i r . mass, and the leg of another was burnt named Hamilton was among the number. Th A e tants of the vicinity are still running about in fearful distraction. Every hour only add s to the state general consternation, consternation, as fresh discoveries of l oss are made. The sight presented by one p oor woman wa,mg truly heartnding. She had lost four child ren i n the v debris at Hillgate. The surgery of Mr. S. W. Rayne in Westgate-street was crowded by the injured members of the, police force, to whom be is surgeon, and every attention was paid to them. On the Newcastle side the fire still rages. The pro perty in this locality is now nearly all in ruins. The provision shop 4 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, Nnd the body of the church is strewed with the Splinters --- ankt•Nlgment9 of glass. During the conflagration, Mr. inson the police superintendent, had a narrow escape. e,,was standing on a burning building, from which -:-../ S ' I -. ladder communication had been cut off, and had to make ; a spring for his life. He had no sooner left. the building I than it fell with a tremendous crash. The Infirmary is rapidly filling with the wounded and dying. Every attention is paid to the unfortunate crea tures by Mr. Gibbs, the house surgeon. Broken skulls, legs, and thighs, were among the more serious of the ac cidents. As we left others were being brought, and al ready some of the women's wards have been made use of. With pleasure we state our hopes that the progress of the fire on the Quay is in a fair way of being arrested. An order has just been issued for 300 men to pull down several ruined buildings, and so if possible to cut off the communication. The reverberation was felt so strongly in Shields that many of the inhabitants rushed out of their beds, under the belief that the shock had arisen from an earthquake. Several bricks were dislodged from 'Messrs. Swinburne's glass-house chimneys, and the workmen ran out in the greatest fright and excitement. The gas. lights in the Jarrow Paper Mill were blown out. About four o'clock a telegraphic message was sent down for the engines, which were sent off after some delay. By five o'clock the powerful river engine was sent away in tow of a steamer, and by seven o'clock the alarm having spread through the town, crowds of people rushed to the railway station to see after their friends. The trains were crowded. The explosion was also felt at Sunder, land, and the sulphur and other material cast up by the explosion were scattered three or four miles down the Gateshead line. The workmen in Monkwearmouth Colliery, the deepest in the kingdom, and at least eleven miles from Newcastle, heard the explosion, and turned out in alarm. FURTHER PARTICULARS, NEWCASTLE, Twoo76l:oCi---1.11:1- Already the ma jority of the inhabitants of Newcastle and Gateshead 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 Oz tober, on the two sides of Tyno 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 Geinden Chare and the Custom House. The other ha , rifled another set of buildings of a similar character, but of less extent, in a space enclosed by ;e triangle, the sides of which are represented by Pilgrim-street, Butcher-bank, and George':--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 incalcula'ile. Unuer the still flaming ruins of ,the Gateshead warehou , es, it is certain that there are some, it is possible there are very many, poor fellows lying as blackened corpses. The following is a list, as full as can be at present obtained, of the bodies which have been foiled : • Mr. Davidson, jun., miller, Gateshead. Mr, R. Pattinson, jun., Gallowgate, a member of the Town CouncA of Newcastle. Asian Paynter, 26th Caineranians. Corporal Arm,trong, ditto. Corporal Hamilton, hairdresser, Gateshead. Corporal Scott, of the Gateshead Police Force. Four other bodies, names unknown, apparently ,workmen. A. female has died in the Infirmary, after an amputa tion. A number of others in various paces, of whom we have as yet received no acc,)unt. 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 fur dif ferent and frequently severe injuries. In the lower part of Gateshead it is almost impossible to make way through the street, so overpowering is the vapour of burning sulphur ; and this effectually pre vents, for the present, any attempt to ransa4i the rums, 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 ciuntry 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 wo 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. MICIIAELMAS RENTS ON CORN AVERAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE. Siß,—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 strongly advocated 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, 1853, 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 has 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. pericap. bushel, or Ns. 2d. per imp. tparter Barley, 35.11.-d. 31s. SI. If Oats ...2s. 2:38.0d. Now, at these prh:es, if we tura one-third of the ren into each of the above kinds of grain, the corn refit roil be— • 281 . 8C6 bushels of wheat. 505.203 „ 'barley. 727'272 „ oats. And these quantities, valued into money, at the annual average prices ascertained up to each Michaelmas-day, will give the rent from year to year during the continu ance of the agreement.-4 am, &c., CHARLES M.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint George John Robert Gordon, Esq., now her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires and Consul-General to the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, to be her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Confederation. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 4. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have receive'l, 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, forth° information 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 FIIINGRUND, 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 an average of 4 fathoms of water. East of the shallowest spot, at a distance of about 500 fathoms, 5 fathoms deep, a large mark is moored, the iron cone of which bears an iron pole 12 feet long, painted white, and furnished at the top with a large red ball, which is visible at a distance of 4 geographical mile. This shoal can be sounded up to from the north. WEST FUINGRUND has 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 shallo west point, and east of the same, in 6i fathoms water, a mark is set up of similar size and form to that on the east shoal, but its pole is painted red and its ball white ' • it also is visible at a distance of A geographical mile. This shoal cannot be sounded up to from the north side with any security. GRUNDKALLEGRUND. At this extensive shoal, the limits of whichare 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,iB moored, which has a p ole 15 feet long, the upper end of which furnished with a red streamer. The mark stands in a depth of 9 fathoms, and about 330 fathoms from the Shaliows 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 Uudersten ' 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, August 18, 1854. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Our. 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 and harbour, with channels leading to it, all restrictions with respect to cholera on vessels arriving from an infected or uninfected port in the country or abroad, aro 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, Teraatte, 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 versd, are to be exempt from import and export duties. - - BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 6. 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 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 Schiermonnikoog. (Copy.) (Translation) NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Minister of Marine gives further notice that the lights 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 size, are each placed on a round tower of steno, .on the sandhills, 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 ells (143 Rhineland feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 28 m. 56 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 m. 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. Tho most northerly light stands 42.30 ells (135 Rhine land feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 29m. 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 3i 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. S. at the depth of fully a 8 fathoms, are lost sight of or declined (and the most northerly first) at a distance of fully 3 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 54 and nearly 6 fathoms' depth, close against the Ameland shore, the steeple of Nes on Ameland bearing S.W., which cross-bearing accordingly gives a distance there of fully 3.1 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, at 4i 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 Oostreahorn and the Zoutkainp, in the passage the Slenk, somewhat S.E. of the buoy called the Babbelaar, near the Vlakken or Sehel phoek, where the light then diminishes and disappears in the N. f W. It has also been observed that the Lights of Schiermon nikoog, at ordinary view and with the eyo, 4 ells (12:4 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 et.- 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.
