SALES BY AUCTION: 1K BUCKS, NEAR TO BOXMOOR-STATIOL A CAPITAL MANOR FARM, NEARLY 300 ACRES, In the OCCUPATION of a FIRST-RATE TENANT. LOTS •f GOOD SHOOTING, and in a HIGH and HEALTHY POSITION. MRMR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed t o SELL . by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, en TAWS/DAT. the 29th of August, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, An exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD FARM, pleasantly situate, within four miles of Boxmoor, and less than three miles of the pleasant market.town of Berkhempstead, and the two stations. It is called YEW TREE HOUSE, WHELPLEY HILL, surrounded by good roads, within twenty eight miles of London, and an easy distance of the best markets. Chesham is three miles off, and Hensel Hempstead within Ave, so this' the produce Ands a ready vent at a trifling expense. The land is of a quality that may always be depended on under a healthy course of cultiva. tion, and the abundant crop* this year, atter bang subject to • severe discipline for the Fret four or Ave years, arising out of a sad forgetfulness of manure, still the lard exhibits four or Ave quarters of capital wheat and barley, and the crops of clover are most abundant. The farm-house, as well as the buildings, are of ancient date, and, In eandonr, it must be proclaimed, will be greatly benefited by a judicious outlay of three or four hundred pounds. THE WORTHY TENANT, BASSILL, who, with his family, have sojourned here near half a century, will be but too happy to have a lert , e, and continue the tenancy; but his present rent is a very inadequate one. The estate numbers near THREE HUNDRED ACRES, and with the exception of less than two, is entirely within • ling fence. There are about 50 acres in thriving woods and planta tions; it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them by degrees grubbed up, and good crops of cern become their substitute—a farmer does not need the luxury of wood. land scenery, to interfere with his more important avo cations. The outgoings are not high, and the tithe has been commuted at less than 45. per acre—such i• a faint outline of the property which is committed for positive sale, and offers an exceedingly eligible and secure investment for small capitalists.

UP LODERS, DORSET. CONTIGUOUS TO THE SEA AND THE BEST BATHING. A delightful VILLA RESIDENCE,with PLEASURE GROUNDS - extending to FOUR ACRES and a HALF, a TROUT STR EA M forming the boundary, and immediate possession. ATII. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to submit AZ to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, opposite the Bank, on THURSDAY Nux - r, August 9, at Twelve, A FREEHOLD VILLA RESIDENCE, possessing more of attraction to those who delight in a country life than can easily be imagined. It is replete with all the agremens so essential to the comfort of a family, situate at and known as UP LODERS, NEAR TO RRIDPORT AND BEAMINSTER, IN A BEAUTIFUL PART OF DORSET, AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE BEST SEA.BATHING ON THIS COAST. The Villa is of modern erection, adorned by a ♦erandah, and covered approach, contains drawing, dining, and breakfast rooms, six best bed-chambers, and excellent offices, detached coach. house and stable. THE LAWN AND PLEASURE GROUNDS are delightfully disposed wound the house, decorated with a pro fusion of choice shrubs, ornamental parterres and alcoves, a capital and very productive walled kitchen garden, with greenhouse and a close of land planted as an orchard, form the domain, and extend to tour acres and a half of rich land, BOUNDED ON ONE SIDE BY A TROUT STREAM, with a cascade where constant amusement may be obtained, and on the other by the road to Up Loders. The Villa may be riew^d by applying to Mr. Charles Salisbury, at the premises, and Particulars, with a drawing, had of him; also of Mr. Baruch Fox, solicitor, Beaminster, near Britiport ; of Mr. Danger, solicitor, Bristol; at the Auction Mart ; and at Yr., George Robins's offices, Cnvent-warden, VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES. A CA PI PAL AND PERFECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT. T ° he DI SPONED OF, the EXTENMIVE SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a considerable capital has been expended in arriving at the present favourable stato.• This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lime are unusually favourable. It will afford to a company or a few capitalists an opportunity of investing . FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS, With a prospective view most encouraging, and the opportunity to purchase the fee.simple on vi ry advantageous terms, is amongst the most prominent of its numberless advantages. This quarry (in Merionethshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi. ally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Mrs. Oakeley's property, which are the moat extensive slate quarries now worked in Merionethshire. It is situated upon the opposite side of the same hill, the summit of which is the boundary between the Cwmorthin and Oakeley properties ; and the vein, which in the latter estate is divided into three extensive quarries, has an extent on the Cwmorthin side equal to all three together, and capable of being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after Bangor and Llanberris, the largest Slate Quarry in Wales. A disagreement in the partnership, arising out of a difference of opinion as to the best mode of working the quarry, was terminated by the common consent of all the parties, and this is the sole reason why this valuable property is now to be disposed of. The present tenants hold under a forty years' lease, dated 20th March, 1942, which in all its conditions is more favourable to the capitalist undertaking to work the quarry, than those of any of their corn. petitors in the market. But the fee.simple can be bought upon terms which would enable the purchaser to secure large profits, where the quarries paying heavy royalties merely enrich the land lords; independently of being able to work the quarries wholly without interference, and to such extent, and .n such mannerg , as to obtain the greatest possible profit from a property which, properly managed, -increases in value the longer it is worked, since more Slate is continually opened, and which will not be ex. haunted in many generations. The present openings are so nsade as to be capable of indefinite extension—a small outlay would' ' bring an immediate return of Slate, which might be increased at the discretion of the proprietor. The metal is of the purest Port madee blue Sla e, easily worked, durable, and free from spot, stain, or blemish. Though the vein is barely opened in the top (as shewn in the plan), above eight hundred tons of Slates have already been made, of a quality in every way satisfactory, and it continues to improve, the deeper the rock is gone into. An extensive farm, with aboutlwe hundred acres of land, available for various pur poses, is included in the property—it will be of great valuo to the party working the quarry. A fall of water gives all the power needed for machinery to saw and plane slate; the use of which in articles of furniture and in house building is rapidly and daily ex tending. There is cheap and easy carriage by the Ffestiniog Railway to Portmadoc. And when the increasing demand at home and on the cor.tinent for Portmadoc blue Slate, the extensive pro. gress of buildings throughout the kingdom, and the peculiar ad. vantages offered by the Cwmorthin Quarry are considered, it will be found that a more tavourable opportunity is seldom met with for the investment of capital. with large immediate profit, and con tinued accumulation of the value of the principal in perspective. There are many admirable sites in the vicinity for the erection of an abode suited to the proprietor of these works. The situation is well known to be one of the most beautiful in North Wales, with capital sporting and the best salmon and trout fishing in the country. Principal• only will make application at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, who takes this opportunity to call the atten. tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking. IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS. TO be SOLD by PRIVATE TREATY, by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, A VERY PROMISING INVESTMENT AND SLATE QUARRY, situate in Carnarvenshire, North Wales. The Slste is of excellent quality, of a rich grey-blue colour, ant can be had in abundance under but a very thin cover. The work is already about 40 yards wide, and is capable of bielng extended to upwards of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT YARDS, where a large number of men may be employed most advanta. geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an Investment af. fording a rare opportunity to any party with moderate capital to accumulate A LARGE FORTUNE. The observations which follow are extracted from a Welsh Paper:—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it can be made, with a few thousands outlay, THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SOIL 11l THE WORLD.

The •ein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than 180 yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob. struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go, wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES; and with good management the profits would—cOuld not be less than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in proper order. Another desirable thing belonging to this concern is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards cover. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in good repair, as also the road, tbrec miles of which has been marle at the expense of nearly 2,0001.

Captain Warner's inventions are an invisible shell with marvellous explosive power, and the long range of which he gives this account— " I can project (he said) 100 shells of most destruc tive power, and I can repeat the operation with rapidity. If I threw them into Gibraltar, in a few hours not a man would be left alive in the place.—(Laughter.) This I can accomplish at almost any distance. By means of my long range I could bombard a fortress, and, with a single vessel, could cut out a fleet in defence of the garrison. —(hear, hear.) I could have demolished Algiers, instead of merely damaging it, as was done by Lord Exmouth with his splendid fleet.— (Cheers and laughter.) After that I could, with a comparatively small refit, undertake to destroy Toulon." The invisible shell, the experiment of which was so unsatisfactorily made at Brighton, professional men think little of; but they rate the long range, with the newspaper qualification, as important, if true. Yet it seems that Mr. Warner is infinitely more dis posed to exhibit the powers of his invisible shell than his long range. He is like Boniface with his bill of fare, who after all comes to the one thing only that he can give you. We have heard of many invisible things in our time—lnvisible girls, Invisible boys, &c.—and the in visible shell is the new wonder of the class, and the inventor complains that for the requital of it there is also an invisible reward. As for the long range, there appears to us to be a good deal of it in the accounts of the shell, from which it is said to be quite distinct, and the very name of it is unfortunately associated with the ideas of a proverbial archery in which truth is somewhat overshot. Until Sir Robert Peel mentioned the fact, we were not aware that Mr. Warner had tried his inventions against an enemy. The account is highly curious. " The Commissioners asked him:. How long is it since you satisfied yourself on the powers of your long range and invisible shell?' Captain Warner answered: Twelve years as to the long range, and twenty-seven years as to the invisible shell. I sunk two French pri vateers at the end of the war, one off Folkestone and the other off St. Vatlery's Bay.' When asked what vessel he was in at the time, his reply was that it was called the sloop Nautilus, that it was a King's vessel, and that it was commanded by his father, William Warner. The next inquiry was, Whether such an extraordinary cir cuinstanoe as the sinking of two privateers in this way had not of course been reported to the Admiralty:— No (was the answer), we were not under the Ad miralty, for the vessel was employed by the Secretary of State and Lord Castlereagh in landing spies.'— Then was the destruction of the privateers reported to the Secretary of State?'—' I do not know; it might have been.'—' Were the facts recorded in the log of the Nautilus?'—' We did not keep a log.'—' Did you receive head money f , ‘r the destruction of the privateers?'—' No ; it was not claimed.'—' 'Were any of the crews saved?' —No, none; and the facts were only known to myself and another j--Such were the assertions of Captain Warner, and the Commissioners sent first to the Ad miralty. to learn if there was any record there of the destruction of two privateers, and the answer was, that not a vestige of such information could be found. They then resorted to the Foreign-office, because the vessel was said to have been employed by it, but there was no trace there of anything of the kind. Thus, according to Captain Warner, the vessels and their whole crews were sent to destruction without any reward, and with out any record in any departme., t." The powers of the invention were so great, that it not only blew the privateers to atoms, but also all record of the fact, not a vestige of which could be found, az Si" Robert Peel remarked. It is unfortu nate that Mr. 'Warner at that time hid his lights under a bushel ; especially as it was in the war when the long range and invisible shell might have been so patriotically employed. But he blew up French pH vateers as good Christians perform acts of charity, without letting his right hand know the deed of his left. We wonder whether those two privateers were ever missed in France. The explosiou was perhaps so great that it blotted from the memory of men all recollection of' the existence of the vessels and their crews. With the long range this may happen. It is possible, however, that Mr. Warner blew up the Flying Dutchman with his invisible shell, mis taking that once common phenomenon for an enemy ; and this .would account for its non-appearance of late years, the phantom ship having found its match in the invisible shell and the long range. As Lord Inges trie says, we " challenge any man to prove the con trary." We defy any one to prove that Mr. Warner did not blow up the Plying Dutchman. Sir .Robert Peel •has acted very judiciously and fairly in this affair of Mr. Warner's invention. lle would not make a blind bargain, he would not buy a pig in a poke. The reasonable conditions required on the part of the Commissioners were these— `''They shall not require the disclosure of your secret ; they shall only witness its operation, in order that they may be perfectly satisfied that all that has been promised can be done. They shall make their report to the Government, or to me individually, if you prefer it, in order that it may not go farther. If they first take the invisible shell, they will have to see thst it can be applied under adverse circumstanees of wind or tide. Then they must be assured of the safety of those who use this power ; and thirdly, they must have an understand ieg how long the Government shall be in possession of the secret after they have purchased it. I reserved to myself' the entire power of determining how much it was worth ;• and I wanted, moreover, to be assured that when we had obtained the secret, by paying for it, we should have the exclusive use of it. I felt that we ought to h ave the security that we could ourselves manufacture the same explosive materials, and that we ought to know 'how long we could r, tsin the secret ; on the first failure, for aught we knew, it might be picked up by ourenemies and made use of against ourselves. I will not, said I, enter into any such blind bargain as that, supposing you `bl'av up a ship you shall receive a certain sum. . 'What wa s requi red was, that they s h ou ld w i tness th e de struCtion of a vessel, and should accompany Capt. War ner on board the steam-boat that was to be employed on . the ovcasien. Captain Warner, in reply, said, posi tively object to your being present, and upon those terms I will not try my experiment.' We said, 'lf the expe rimentalists are not to be on board the steam boat, let us waive the objection,' and we culled upon Mr. Warner to state an estimate of his experiment. I said again, that I would not enter into a blind pledge to pay 100.0001. in the event of a certain contingency, but I will appoint two gentlemen to consider the experiment., and to make a re port to the Government ; we promised to pay the expense but I wished him to make an estimate of the expense ; and before I could consent to incur an unlimited amount, I wanted to see Mr. Warner's estimate of the expense of the materials. I confess that I was startled at the esti mate of the expense. Many projectors are content to receive 2,0001. or 3,0001. fir their whole reward ; but Mr. Warner required 2,700/. for his experiment with the in visible shell, and 2,4701. for his experiment with the long range, making in the whole 5,1701. as the expense of try ing the experiments. My answer was again, that the experiment we desired to see was that with the long range, that we might therefore spare the expense of the experiment with the invisible shell, and proceed with that which we deemed the more valuable ; and seeing what hail been done at Folkstone, in St. Vallery, and in the Forest of Hainault, I thought 2,5001. a very large • sttm.

Patt erson an d T. stated to ether, and the 7 bad asked Captain. Wane:, if ' there were twenty sail of the line in Torbay Harbour, hich was three miles wide from Bury Head to Hope's Nose, how long would it take to close it up ? Oh, it would take an hour and a half. It was clear, then, that there must be mlny invisible shells, and lines connecting them, so that if a vessel struck the line or the shell it would be destroyed. How was Captain Warner to lay out these lines ? He did not pretend to be invisible, at,d he must fsce the enemy. Oh,' said Captain 'Warner, I will do it by cutters, schooners, and boats. But how was he to buoy up a passage three miles wide by cutters, schooners, and boats, in a strong tide ? —Why. he wouldget a steamer. Then there would be the noise of the paddle-wheel ; that he would obviate by using a screw, and the result was, that be would have to come in the face of a British fleet with his cutters, schooners, and steamer, to buoy up the passage.' Such was the admirable appl cation of his discovery of the power of explosion : it was worse than the attempt to lay salt on the sparrow's tail.—(Laughter.) —How was he to place his invisible shells ?—They were to be anchored.—What depth would he have to go ?—He would ascertain that.—Then he would have to sound ?—Yes.—Then as to the tide, how would that affect him ?—He would steady the shells by a stay anchor. So that he would have to sound, and to anchor, and to place his line, and to pass his steamer in front of the fleet. Then, with respect to his power against a vessel chasing—the experiment seen at Brighton. This experiment was of the same class as the punt in the filtpond, which was towed by the horse. It was only some experiment on a larger scale. There was a large vessel instead of the punt, and a steamer to tow instead of a team of horses, or one old horse, The vessel was dragged in the wake of the steamer. There was one shell on each side ; the force of the vessel caused these two to collapse, and thus it was destroyed. He was not a seaman, but he was sure it was mot the rule of seamen to chase in the wake ; it was the rule to attack in the wake. It was clear that a vessel in the exact wake might be caught, but if either steered athwart the tide the shell would be missed. The invention, therefore, never would be used to a great extent there." Sir H. Douglas talks of Hope's Nose in Torbay. Why was this ? Was he fearful of alarming Sir Ro bert Peel by the mention of Bob's Nose as the point to which the line of explosion was to be conducted ? Sir Charles Napier gave a most amusing account of the various explosive inventions which were to blow up navies in his time, and of the great unpleasantness of having to do with such contrivances, so much more perilous to those who use them than to those against whom they are to be used. In the handsomest way he offered to blow up Lord Ingestre, without any charge whatever, and without the generous aid of Mr. Soames. " Now, the Noble Lord had talked about blowing up ; why, if he will sit quiet and allow me to put a few ounces of detonating powder under his bottom, I'll blow him up to his heart's content.—(Loud laughter.) A few years ago Captain Warner showed me a picture of a whole fleet blowing up with his apparatus. I said, I don't care two straws about your shells, I want 3ou to give me your long range, and tell me you can blow up a ship seven miles off.—(Hear, hear.) But Captain Warner said he would blow up all the ships in Portsmouth Har bour from the back of the Isle of Wight. I said to him, if you will prove to the Government that you can blow up a ship six or seven miles off, I will stand up in my place in Parliament and say I have seen you perform this extraordinary operation.—(Hear, hear.) Throw aside your invisible shell altogether, and use your pro jectile ; but he always returned to his invisible shell, and always shied off the six miles.—(Laughter.)" In our last number we observed on the rashness with which Mr. Warner's advocate, Lord Ingestre, vouched for the destruction of the barque off Brighton by projectiles; but now we find him distinguishing the invisible shell, used on that occasion, from pro jectiles I " Although he had an array of officers telling him that the invisible shells were worth nothing, he had no hesitation in telling the House and the country that they were worth all they had been stated by Captain Warner to be ; and if a ship could be destroyed by the invisible shell, why should they adopt the other method ? If they accomplished everything they wanted without a pro jectile, why use it ?" How then is the statement in the certificate to be reconciled with this distinction ? If the invisible shell is not a projectile, how was it that his Lordship vouched for the destruction of the John o' Gaunt by " certain projectiles ?" It is very strange that Mr. Warner and his friends are all for giving the invisible shell instead of the long range. We can, however, thoroughly understand the professional preference f the more comprehensive engine of destruction. We would say to Mr. 'War ner, as little Acres says to his second, " If you love me, Sir Lucias, let me bring him down at a long shot." Six miles is a most convenient and eligible distance for opening a battery. It is incomparably preferable to the scope of a tow rope. And the long range' may be so improved that, in the event of war, we may batter the French coast from the English, the sights of the guns being fitted with powerful. telescopes. Dover would Make short work with Calais, Folkestone would duel it with Boulogne, in a fashion that little Acres himself would approve. When the aerial machine, as yet as invisible as Mr. Warner's shell, is ready for flight, it may be fitted with the long range, so as to be able to pour down a fire upon any place in the world, from any elevation. The fortifications of Paris would look rather foolish under that sort of attack which would bring bomb proof parasols and umbrellas into vogue. Absurd, however, as the whole thing appears, Mr. Warner should have a fair trial ; and it is satisfactory to us to see that our notion of what is necessary to a fair experiment is borne out by the stipulations of the Commissioners thus stated by Sir H. Douglas " The Commissioners proposed to proceed with these experiments, but they were called upon by Captain Warner to allow him to provide two vessels. The Com missioners replied that they had provided two, and that providing the vessels was no part of his destructive power. They had settled among themselves that he should never see these vessels,,still lessgo on board either of them, till they were conducted to the bay or roadstead where the Commissioners had fixed, and then that he should be told to commence, and even then that he should not he allowed to appear nearer to the vessels than the certain distance, which he was to carry. They would have taken care to keep the ves , el out of his personal charge, and le t allowed any one to come near it. They did not mean this as enythiug hostile to Captain Warner, but to protect the public against even the suspicion of collusion. Therefore they would not allow him to be nearer than the person using his means of destruction at his stated distance would require to be." EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAT.—On Thursday the half-yearly mteting of this Company took place at the London Tavern and was numerously attended. The 'hair,was taken by Henry Bosanquet, Esq. The meet ing was also made special for consolidating some of the new shares into capital stock, to decide on the devia tion of the branch from Ely to March, there to meet a direct extension line from York by Doncaster, Lin coln, Boston, and Spalding, to be constructed by the Midland and York and North Midland Railway Com panies. and also for limiting the projected line from Hert ford to Hitchin and Bedford, to Hitchin only (the Lon don and Birmingham Company having agreed to form Bletchley to Bedford), towards which the Directors pro posed to apply the extension stock No. 2, which will not now be required for the proposed lino from Ely to Lin coln. From the report it appeared that immediate mea sures were being taken for constructing the branch line from Stratford to the Thames. An Act of Parliament had been obtained for certain deviations in the Newport line. By the union of this with the other rival company the branch railway from Colchester to Harwich would be secured by an Act in the next session. The Direc tors recommended a dividend at the rate of four shil lings per share on the new shares, and three shillings per share on the old shares. From the balance sheet it appeared that the half-year's receipts amounted to 63,435 L 16s. 2d., which left a net balance of 20,5911. 14s. 5d., which was the Colchester line. This, with the net balance of 4;051/. 4s. 9d. from the Cambridge line, and another balance, left for a dividend 25,276/. 16s. 3d. The balance in hand on the capital account was 18,357/. 10s. 2d. After some discussion amongst the proprietors the report was adopted, and the various reso lutions founded upon it were passed unanimously. It appeared from the engineer's statement that the line from Hertford to Hitchin would now only cost 200,000/., and that the whole communication to Cambridge and Norwich would be completed in the course of next year. On the motion of Mr. Kettricx, seconded by Mr. E. Whittle, thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors, when the meeting separated. BRIGHTON, THURSDAT. — The race week has not brought us so large an influx of fashionable company as usual.

These, having been taken cut or the river on the western bank, were conveyed to the nearest county inn, while those of the other four, which were landed on the east bank, were taken to the Anchor Inn, Deglis, in the city of Worcester. To explain this it is necessary to observe, that at the point where thicdread ful catastrophe occurred, the Severn divides' ,the city from the county of Worcester. To-day inquests : , have been holden on all the bodies ; on those at the Anchor, before Mr. Hyde, the city coroner, and on those at Whitehall, before Mr. W. S. P. Hughes, the coroner for the county. The evidence adduced on each inquest was of course almost precisely similar. One of the navigators employed on the work, named Charles Head, deposed to the nature of the accident, which he witnessed, having declined to enter the boat, which he thought was' over loaded. The real cause of the accident appeared from his statement to have been a rope, by which a barge was moored to the bank. To cross the river the boat must necessarily pass under the rope, and on reaching it ene of the men (Richard White) lifted up the rope. At the. same moment the fifteen men standing up in the boat stooped down to clear the rope, and this caused the boat krome dintely to capsize, precipitating the whole of the ill-fated fellows into the river, which, at this point, was deep and rapid, from being contracted by the works in progress. It was a flat-bottomed boat, and the men were all stand ing on the bottom of the boat, and not upon the seats. There was no " larking" going on at the time amongst the men, as was at first stated, but all of them were very steady. The witness (Head), on witnessing the accident, seized a piece of timber, with which he succeeded in ex tricating one of the men, named John Dodson. This John Dodson was alSo examined on the inquest; ke ee scribed the rope attached to the barge to have been lying on the surface of the water, and thought the boat might have passed over it had not White caught hold of it. Head, however, was of a different opinion. _ The two juries returned verdicts of " Accidental Death," with regard to all the deceased. Their names are— Richard White, aged 21, of Defford. Charles Baker, aged 24, from near Brighton. • Mark Lewis, aged 27, from Walsall. William Rose, aged 24. Thomas Packwood, aged about 27, a native of Om bersley, near Worcester.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE LOBS OF PROPERTY.: The premises where the fire originated, the cause being attributable to the foulness of an oven flue, belonged to Mr. Solomons, consisted of a cottage, which *vita ad joined by three others, all tenanted by labourers and their families, employed on Mr. Solomons' estate. The whole were consumed, and the walls have falleh• in, None of the parties are insured. The farm in the rear (belonging to the estate) much damaged ; the northern wing partly burnt. Second Fire.—The greater portion of the agricultural buildings on Queen's Farm (belonging to the same` gen. tleman, Mr. Solomons) consumed—namely, the barn, two stacks in the rick-yard—one of beans, containing 80 qurters, the other of wheat, the produce of 14 acres ; also a granary and some bullock sheds. The . above formed the east side of the farm ; the dwelling-house and stable, forming the west frontage, saved. The barn contained two floors, and was very large, being upsitards of 200 feet-in length. The distance of the farm from the cottages above mentioned, is nearly 100 yards. • Third Fire.—The King's Farm (the property of the same unfortunate owner as the above) totally burned down. The distance from the Queen's Farm, over a meadow, is between 150 and 200 yards. It occupied an immense area, and the number of buildings was greater and more extensive than at the Queen's. They were-as follows :—Two barns, one 60 feet, in length and 30 feet in breadth, and the other 70 feet in length and 40 feet in depth ; a granary, 24 feet long and 14 feet in breadth. These buildings, with a range of stabling, SO feet in length, formed the eastern frontage of the farm, to be added to which was the rick-yard at the back, contain ing several stacks. This is also destroyed. A brick hen-house, and two four-stall stables (each separate brick buildings, with lofts above) formed the south frontage to the farm, of 160 feet. The opposite frontage was likewise burned down. It was upwards of 200 feet, and formed of bullock and cow sheds. The farm-house is partly destroyed. It was tenanted by the labourers and families, eighteen in number. A fourth fire occurred at the dwelling of Mr. Solo mons' shepherd, a wooden building, about SO yardi, dis tance from the King's Farm. Part of the furniture de stroyed, but it was fortunately checked without any damage to the building. In addition to the above, there were a number of Carts and waggons destroyed ; likewise a horse and several pigs burned to death. All the fires were occasioned by the first, the burning embers being carried by the wind on to the roofs of the different buildings. One man lost his life, and two were severely injured by the fall of burning thatch. DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE AT NOTTINGHAM. NovrixotrAar, Aria. B.—Yesterday evening the Coroner (C.

PlNES.—Another portion of the cargo of the Fear Not, consisting of 5,000 pine apples, was sold on Thursday afternoon by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, in Monument-yard. The present specimens tuened out better than those of any previous sale, being in finer preservation.
