Before au engine came up a plug was drawn facing the Horse and Groom, and sufficient water was obtained to supply one of the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., and also to allow two dummies to be used from the same plug. That the water was ready before an engine came up is manifest, for the turncock and the inspector ran down King-stn et and beckoned to the coachman to stop the speed of the engine for fear he should proceed beyond the fire-main. Other engines followed in rapid succession, and they were taken to the most commanding positions, and plugs were drawn all round the different streets and courts, but the immense hop-warehouses and so many other premises being in flames, had the floating engines, with the supply of the Thames been used, they would hardly have been able to do more good than the land steam and manual power engines. One principal cause of the fire extending with such rapidity in the warehouses was that the iron doors between each floor being so slight they ex panded and allowed the fire to pass through. In the northern hop warehouse matters appear to have been bet ter managed, for there the doors are what are termed patent reliance, being composed of double sheet-iron, and stuffed with a sort of preparation, and notwithstanding the building was exposed to intense heat the damage was con fined to the front, although one of the doors was broken open by the mob. Messrs. Story, Smith, and Co., the owners, will not be put to any material inconvenience by the disastrous event that has so seriously affected their neighbours. At 10 o'clock this forenoon several of Beck and Co.'s patent hydrants were discharging water upon the still smouldering ruins, and it required the assistance of Mr. Superintendent Dunlop and Inspectors Turpin and Manson to keep the crowd of idlers out of danger. 7011E14N RAILWAYr.

The jury, it is admitted, cast lots to decide whether a verdict of guilty or not guilty should be returned. After the verdict had been returned six of the lottery papers were found on which the words "Not Guilty" had been written, thus showing that at least one-half of the jury were against the conviction.

The 14th report of the Postmaster-General on i I the Post-office was issued yesterday morning, and contains much valuable and interesting information. ; It appears from the tabular statements respecting receptacles for letters, that at the close of 1867 there ' was one receptacle for every 296 houses in England and Wales, one for every 252 houses in Scotland, and one for every 437 houses in Ireland. During the vear 1866 free deliveries were fur the first time I established at 351 places (exclusive of single houses) in the United Kingdom ; and in the same period additional free deliveries were given to 124 places, while the boundaries of 206 other free deliveries were enlarged. During the year 1567 the exten sion of free deliveries was carried on more actively than in the year 1866. The total number of post towns in England and Wales in 1865 was 542 ; in 1866, 555 ; and in 1867, 559. Great improvements and accelerations have been made during the past year in the despatch of mails. The scale of postage, progressive by half an cz. through all its grada tions, was extended to the correspondence between the United Kingdom and numerous foreign coun tries. The pattern post has been greatly extended, and also the fees on registered letters, &c. The postage has been reduced to many kingdoms on the Con tinent. Among the new contracts made last year was one with the African Steamship Company, for the conveyance of the mails monthly to and from the West Coast of Africa, on terms by which a saving of £lO,OOO a year was effected. The com pany are now despatching steamers to the African ports twice a month, and an extra mail is carried monthly to each port ; the company receiving a portion of the sea postage on the letters carried as their remuneration. In June, 1867, a new con vention was signed, under which the total postage on a single letter passing between the United King dom and the United States was reduced from one shilling to sixpence ; the transmission of book packets and patterns at a low rate of postage was sanctioned, and reduced rates of charge was estab lished for correspondence sent in transit through either country. The altered arrangements neces sary to comply with the stipulations of the new , convention with the United States were found to be so unfavourable that it will only be continued in force for one year, when it is hoped another will be concluded free from the objections attached to that of Juue, 1867. Mr. Anthony Trollope has recently been to Washington to negotiate such a convention. Endeavours have been male to conclude a new postal convention with Brazil, but as there did not appear any prospect of success , the negotiation terminated. The improvements made in the Loudon district are numerous, and in clude extension of time for posting letters for night mails to the country, the acceleration of correspon dence by new arrangements with the district offices, additional collection of letters, and by the opening of 19 new receiving offices, and the erection of 64 pillar letter boxes. The total number of receptacles for letters in tee metropolitan district at the close of 1867 was made up as follows :—Receiving offices, 469, of which number 417 were money order offices and 405 were Post-office savings banks ; pillar letter-boxes, 423 ; wall letter-boxes, 51; railway station boxes, 9. 1 he service in many provincial towns has been placed upon a new and satisfactory footing. The increase in the number of letters conveyed by the Post-office during the year 1866, and again during the year 1867, was, as in previous years, much more than proportionate to the in crease of population in all parts of the United Kingdom, and to the increase in the number of in habited houses. In the United Kingdom the pro-. portion of letters to population rose from 24 per head per annum in 1865 and 1866, to 26 per head per annum in 1867; the proportion of letters to inhabited houses rose from 135 letters to one house in 1855, to 141 letters to one house in 1866, and 144 letters to one house in 1867. During the years 1866 and 1867 the total number of letters delivered in the London district would have been much more than sufficient to give a delivery of one letter on every working day to each house throughout the district. The gross total of the articles conveyed by the Post-office rose in 1866 to 750,000,000 ; books, free, and chargeable newspapers, samples, and pat terns, 101,884,185—in all, 851,781,185. And the gross total of the articles contained iu 1867 was, letters,, 774,831,000; books, free and chargeable newspapers, samples and patterns, 102,273,301—in all, 877,104,301. The progress of the book post and the pattern post calls for no special comment. The report states with respect to valentines that in 1866 the number was estimated at 997,900, whilst in 1867 the number rose to 1,119,142. As in previous years, it was found that the valen ' tines sent from London to the country were twice as numerous as those sent from the country to London ; and also that the number of valentines posted in the western district was, in both years, greatly in excess of the number posted in any other district of London. The estimated postage derived from the valentines pass ing through London was £9,354 in 1866, and £11,242 iu 1867. Valentines having postage charged upon them to the amount of nearly £2OO in each year were refused by the persons to whom they were addressed. The number of registered letters passing through the registered letter branch of the General Post-office, either for despatch or delivery, was in the year 1865, 1,800,982 ; in the year 1866 this number had increased to 1,955,141, or an increase of 8.5 per cent. ; in the year 1867 the number had increased to 1,964,980, or an in crease of 10 . 5 per cent. These figures are exclu sive of the letters containing coin, which are com pulsorily registered in this department, and which numbered 37,823 in 1865, 33,364 in 1866, and 28,000 in 1867. There has also been a correspond ing increase in the number of registered letters passing the post in the whole of the United King dom, which number amounted in 1866 to 2,540,160, and in 1867 to 2,619,570. In 1866 an important improvement was introduced in the system of treating registered letters in the Regis tered Letters Branch of the chief office, rendered necessary by the growth and the extreme impor tance of the duty performed there. This change consisted in an improved system, by means of which the check was extended to each officer through whose hands the registered letters passed, instead of being confined to those only who received and de spatched the letters. The returned letters for 1867 were slightly in excess of the number for 1866, the total being, in 1866, 3,602,995; 1867, 3,618,888. At the end of the year 1865 the number of money order offices was 3,418, and at the end of the year 1866 the number was 3,567, showing an increase of 149 ; at the end of 1867 the number amounted to 3,691, showing an increase on the previous year of 124, or a total increase on the two years of 271 offices. During the years 1866 and 1867 the money order business was established between this coun try and Alexandria, Turk's Island, Dominica, Ber muda, Nevis, Bahia, Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and Lagos. The number of depositors in post-office savings -banks and the amounts deposited continue to increase. The number of savings-bank at the close 1864 were 3,507, the number of deposits received from the 31st December, 1865, to the 31st December, 1866, were 1,525,871, and total amount of deposits £4,400,657. The number of savings banks at the close of last year was 3,629 ; the number of deposits received from the 31st of December, 1866, to the 31st of December, 1867, £1,592,344, and the total amount of deposits £4,643,906. The number and amount of withdrawals during the past year exhibited an increase over 1866. The total number of deposi tors in Post-office savings banks and old savings banks combined, and throughout the kingdom, had risen at the close of the year 1866 to 2,156,290, and at the close of the year 1867 to 2,232,347. The total number of depositors at the end of the year 1835 was 1,304,000 ; so that there has been in the last 12 years an increase of nearly a million in the number of savings bank depositors. In England and Wales there was in 1866 and 1867 one deposi tor to every 11 persons ; in Scotland one depositor to every 16 persons ; in Ireland, in 1866, one depo sitor to every 74 persons, and in 1867 one to every 69 persons ; and in the whole of the United King dom there was, in both years, one depositor to every 14 persons. The total amount of sums re- , /ceived on account of Gover nm e n t annu ity an d i n • surance contracts fro.n the co mmencemen t o f busi ness on the 17th of April, 1865, to the 31st of 1 December, 1867, was £163,751 15s. 3d. The total amount of payments in the same period was £159,974 Bs. 7d., leaving a balance of £3,777 6s Bd. The gross revenue from letters, books, pac kets, &c., in 1866 was £4,311,467 ; money-order commissions, £166,430 ; and produce of the im pressed stamp on newspapers, £121,780, the total postal revenue being £4,599,667. An increase was observable in 1867, the figures being—gross re venue from letters, &c., £4,376,014, money-order commissions, £172,085 ; ani newspaper stamp pro duce, £120,085; the total revenue being £4,668,214. The total cost of the Post-office service in 1866 was £3,201,681, as compared with £3,216,830 in 1867. The net revenue in 1866 was £1,397,986, against £1,421,361 for 1867. The average net revenue of the first five years since 1858 was £587,507. The average net revenue of the second five years, £1,298,507. 7Lr i": 41 Litt) E1)1110.AN • SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Major-General Lord George Paget, C. 8., attended by Major Brett, Brigade-Major of Cavalry, made his annual inspection of the 15th (King's) Hussars, under the command of Colonel Fitzwygram, on Fri day, the 31st ult., at York ; and on Thursday, the 6th instant, his lordship made his annual inspection of the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, under the com mand of Colonel Crawley, at Manchester, whence he proceeded to Lichfield, where on the 7th he in spected the Queen's Own Royal Regiment of Yeo manry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Lord Bagot. On Saturday he returned to London to re sume his military duties at the Horse Guards. Yesterday Prince Arthur left Chatham garrison on the termination of his course of instruction at the Royal Engineer establishment, and proceeded to Windsor. Before leaving Lis Royal High ness presented Mr. Superintendent J. Strength, of the dockyard police force, with a massive gold pencil-case, as an acknowledgment of the efficient manner in which the police arrangements had been made during the time the Prince has resided at the dockyard. Captain W. Houston Stewart, C. 8., superintendent of the establishment, who placed his official residence in the dockyard at the service of Prince Arthur, has been presented by Her Majesty with a handsome silver vase. The divisional orders issued yesterday by Major-General F. Murray an nounce that the Field-Marshal Commandiug•in- Chief has granted leave of absence to Lieut. his Royal Highness Princa Arthur, R.E., until the Ist of November. The mounted A troop of the Royal Engineer Train, numbering 170 non-commissioned officers and men, with 110 horses, and the whole of the pontoon train and Royal Engineer equipment com plete, arrived at Chatham to-day from Aldershot, to go through a course of pontooning practice at the new pontooniug ground recently constructed by the sappers and miners at Wonldham, near Rochester, where the officers and men will be en camped. The Lords of the Admiralty continued their official inspection at PortstnJuth yesterday, lauding at the dockyard from their yacht Enchan tress at 10.30 a.m. The members of the Board pre sent were Admirals Sir A. Milne, Sir G. C. Dacres, Sir J. D. Ihy, and G. 11. Seymour, with private secretaries. Their Lordships first paid a visit to the Cracker, 2, twin scre vv, composite built gun boat, and afterwards inspected the officers and men belonging to the Steam Reserve at Portsmouth. The force was drawn up in the vicinity of the office of the Admiral Superintendent of the yard, and consisted of Capt. William C. Cham berlain, in command ; Chief Inspector of Machi nery Afloat George Murdock ; Commander John C. Wells, Staff Commander William 11. Fawckner, Staff-Commander John E. Petley (of the Ad tniralty yacht Enchantress), officers of the Asia, Steam Reserve guardship ; 26 chief engineers, 51 engineers, 21 first-class assist.- engineers, 7 second class assist.-engineers, 8 eagine-room artificers, 59 leading stokers, 122 stokers, 65 second-class stokers, and 12 pensioners. On the whole, the force pre sent el a very creditable and service-like appear ance. Before leaving the dockyard their Lordships' attention was drawn to the coaling of her Majesty's ships in Portsmouth harbour, oae of the most iin port,int of all questions, financially considered, coun2cted with the port. In the official report re cently presented to the Admiralty by the commit:ee appointed by the board to inquire into and report upon " Dockyard Craft," the committee strongly condemn the present syste,n of coaling her Ma jesty's ships at Portsmouth by means of coaling and fixed (steam-craned) coal depot ships in the harbour, proving by figures that coal of the same quality and description was put on board her Majesty's ships very much cheaper in total cost both at Gibraltar and Malta thin is done at Ports mouth from the floating steam depot ships. A partial remedy will be supplied by the coaling jetty to be built at the south end of the new dockyard extension works ; but meanwhile the evil is one of great magnitude in the case of a port where more coal is issued than in any other of our home ports. The immediate remedy laid before the Admiralty yesterday consisted in a plan proposed by Staff-Captain W. T. Mainprise, C. 8., the pre sent Master-Attendant of Portsmouth dockyard. Capt. Mainprise proposes to construct on the edges of the west and east mud-banks of Portsmouth harbour, between the north and south ends of the dockyard, new and old, jetties, fitted with the pro per appliances for receiving and issuing coal, in short and inexpensive lengths, which could be ex tended hereafter as might be found requisite. The plan has this great recommendation that its partial execution would at once most materially lessen the cost per ton of the coal issued at Portsmouth to her Majesty's ships. Captain Mainprise's scheme would also relieve the harbour of useless craft, and leave it clear for the passage of her Majesty's ships of war and transports between the harbour and Spithead. After leaving the dockyard, at about 11.30 a.m„ the Lords of the Admiralty crossed the harbour in their State barge to Gosport, where they made an inspection of the Royal Clarence Vic tualling-yard, over which they were Conducted by Captain-Superintendent C. F. A. Shadwell, R.N., C. 8., and Storekeeper Mr. Thomas G. Grant, of the hospital and gunboat establishments at Haslar, and of the Royal Marine Light Infantry at Tor tola. NOTICE.

ASSAULT ON A WIFE AND DA UWlTER.—Benjamin Newman, a warehouseman, r:siding at No. 22, Langl►aui-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife and daughter. Mrs. Matilda Newman, who had a black eye, said—The prisoner is my husband. Last night I was returning home from the Alhambra, where I had been with my husband's knowledge, with my daughter and a young friend, and when near my door my husband, who was standing there, walked towards me, and after making use of fearful lan guage struck me a severe blow in the eye, and would have further assaulted me, but was prevented by a constable. I went a little way with my friend, and afterwards on returning home I found my hus band on the landing, and directly I got in he struck me again, and I first fell on the bed and then on the floor, near the fire-place. He also struck my daughter. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Can you get your living without him? Mrs. Newman--I can. Mr. Tyrwhitt—llas he ever done anything of the sort before ? Mrs. Newman—He has. The Prisoner—l did not know where they were going. I was kept at the street door till half-past * twelve, and had to go to work that morning at four o'clock. I have been 16 years in one situation, and never locked up before. I hope my wife won't press the charge, and cause me to lose my character. Mary Ann Newman—l had been with mother to the Alhambra, and in Langham-street met my father, who said he meant to stab my mother with a knife he had in his pocket, but I did not see a knife. He called my mother beastly names and struck her, and hurt her head while in the street and afterwards when at home, and he also struck me in the face. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has he ever assaulted you be fore ? Witness—No ; but he has my mother. The prisoner—l have been a good father, and always take home my earnings. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Some people seem to think be cause a man works he is exempt from all punish ment, but that is quite a mistake. The prisoner will be committed for two months with hard labour. BURGLARY IN REGENT -STREET.—W. 11. Gar wood, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with burglariously entering the house of Mr. Baker, hatter, of No. 104, Regent-street, and steal ing a travelling bag. From the evidence of Maud Hunt, an assistant to Mr. Baker, it appeared that at a quarter-past one in the morning the housekeeper came upstairs to her bed-room, and told her that some person was in the house. She went down stairs and saw that a travelling bag in the parlour was gone, and while in the parlour saw the pritouer pass along the lobby and then return towards the street door. She rushed upon the prisoner and seized him, but he got a way. She then called " Stop thief l " when a young man, who was on the opposite side of the street, ran after the prisoner, and shortly afterwards she was in formed that he was taken into custody. Thos. George Sicklen, a young man, living at No. 76, Mount-street, proved pursuing the prisoner, and seeing him run down Golden-place, Golden square, and there losing In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said he was positive the prisoner was the same person he pursued, and knew bim again by the peculiarity of his legs, which were very much bowed. The prisoner—You say I ran ; that's a lie, for I hurt my foot a little bit ago. The Witness—You ran fast enough to get away. Mr. John Baker, hatter, of Regent-street, said that his house had :been entered three different weeks, and each time a pair of his boots taken away, and on the prisoner, when at the station, were a pair of his boots. He had no doubt the pri soner entered the house by means of keys. Richard Dowell, of No. 4, Golden-place, proved seeing the prisoner iu Golden-place, and heard him enter No. 34 through the walls of the houses being thin. Heard him threw down hid boots directly the got into his room. i Police-constable Norrish Pike, 51 C, p rove d tak ng the prisoner into custody at No. 3, Golden place. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, as it is believed other charges will be preferred against him. THAmEs. At 12 o'clock George King, a carman, was charged with stealing, and Thomas Carr Henry Gaylor and Joseph Williams were charged with feloniously receiving, knowing it to be stolen, a chest of tea, the property of Traward Brothers, carmen, of Chamber-street, Whitechapel. On Saturday last King, who was in the employ of Traward and Co., w as directed to carry eleven chests of tea to the Dublin wharf, and two chests of tea to the Irongate wharf. He delivered one only at the Irongate wharf, and the other was subsequently traced to Mat thews, who is a beershop-keeper, with which is intermingled the trade of a grocer and cheese monger. The prisoners Carr and Gaylor were con cerned in the transaction, and assisted in con veying the chest of stolen tea to the pri soner Matthews'. Dunaway, a clever detective officer, No 11 11, who arrested all the prisoners, said that King made a full confession of his guilt. The officer said to him, ,, My information is the chest of tea was shifted out of your van into another in the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane." The prisoner said " That's right ;" it was taken out of my van in Cog's-square." King afterwards said that two chaps persuaded him to steal the chest of tea. Mr. Benson remanded the prisoners. MR. I. TV. ANSON'S ANNUAL BESEFIT. Mr. Anson will entertain his friends at the Adeiphi Theatre, on the 19th inst., with a varied performance, including the favourite drama " Flying Scud," a farce, and " A Roland for an Oliver." In the latter popular old dramarMr. Anson will him self resume the " Sock and Buskin," and appear as Sir Mark Chase. We feel constrained to assist in making this announcement public, because in com mon with every well-wisher and patron of the drama, we feel indebted to Mr. Anson for the dis interested labour he imposes on himself in behalf of the members of the dramatic community who are in a position to require assistance from th e i r brethren. He labours with the ability, energy, we may say with the devotion, of one who feels that he has a mission to perform in behalf of afflicted and distressed humanity. As a secretary to two bene volent institutions, his work is almost unceasing. The patrons of the drama and the frequenters of the various theatres owe a kind of debt to those who in their working days have done much to amuse them ; and they, therefore, cannot help ap preciating the efforts made by one who, like Mr. Anson, has devoted so much time in alleviating the suffering of those in whom all playgoers must feel an interest. As treasurer of the Adelphi Theatre, Mr. Anson has for years enjoyed the esteem and consideration of all those for whom and with whom he has had to act; in him the public also have found a most efficient and courteous officer. We have no doubt that the announcement to which we now help to give publicity will be read with interest by the patrons of the theatre, and that Mr. Anson's benefit on Wednesday, the 19th, will be signalised by the most complete success.—Theatrical Observer. The Empress Eugenic is at this moment occupied in the foundation of a new charitable institution for the creation of orphan asylums in the agricultural districts. Her Majesty has already had several in terviews ou the subject with M. Frcimy, Director of the Credit Foncier Company.
