Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Prideaux were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Hodges for the defendant. The plaintiff, Mr. Slade, was a waggon manufacturer and wheelwright, carrying on business in Temple Backs, Bristol, and the defendants were Messrs. T. J. Evans and Thos. Evans, and the action was brought to recover 1481. 13s. 4d., the value of certain timber, and as com pensation for injuries the plaintiff had received through a breach of contract by the defendants. The action arose out of these circumstances :—ln Ja nuary, 1852, there was a sale of a quantity of timber on the Piercefield estate, near Chepstow, when a purchase was made by a Mr. Thomas Smith, formerly a resident at Bristol. The purchase was made subject to certain conditions, one of which was that if Smith did not pay the money, the vendors should hamita i ln po wer of re selling the timber. Subsequently ' to the purchase, Smith became involved, and amongst other persons he was indebted to the plaintiff 1201. To cover this sum he offered the timber which he had bought at Chepstow. This brought the plaintiff into connection with the defendants, who agreed to let him have the timber upon his undertaking to pay the residue of the purchase money. An account was made out by the Messrs. Evans, and the plaintiff gave a cheque for the balance. The plaintiff subsequently agreed to sell a portion of the timber to a Mr. Bachelor, of Cardiff, who sent his truw to Chepstow for the timber. He was, how ever, owing to the defendants' breach of their agreement unable to get it, and plaintiff was obliged to pay him 151. for the services of the trow, and also a sum of money as compensation. This formed a portion of the claim for special damage. Plaintiff subsequently again called on defendants for the timber, when they said there was an account due for hauling by Smith, and that the plaintiff must pay it. To this plaintiff replied that nothing bad been mentioned of any charge of hauling in the account rendered him, and therefore he had nothing to do with it ; he at length assented, however, to give, a cheque for it if defendants would give him an acknow ledgment of its receipt. They refused to do this, stating that they did not wish to involve themselves in the mat ter, and the plaintiff refusing to give a cheque under any other conditions, the defendants refused to give up the timber. In these transactions the Messrs. Evans were merely the agents of other parties, but as they de clined to give the name of their principal, the action had been brought against them. The plaintiff and his attorney, Mr. Salmon, were called to make out the case, and the plaintiff stated that owing to the defendants' default he had been obliged to break faith with parties, whereby he had suffered loss. Mr. M. Smith, in giving the defendant's version of the matter, admitted the sale to Smith, but stated that owing to his failure to give security for the money beyond the 101. per cent. deposit, the defendants directed the bailiff of Piercefield not to allow Smith to have any more timber. The bailiff not wishing the timber to lie on the estate and injure the herbage, wrote to Smith that if be did not remove it he should be obliged to do so himself, and Smith failing, the bailiff removed it to near the place of embarkation, at which place the plaintiff saw it. It was clear that Smith must be liable for this charge of hauling, and the plaintiff coming in in Smith's place, also became liable. The plaintiff contended that he was not answerable for any charges between Smith and the bailiff, but there was no reason why, as the representa tive of Smith, defendants should let him have the timber upon inure favourable terms than it would have been supplied to Smith himself at. For the defence, one of the defendants, a clerk in his office, and the estate bailiff, were called, and they stated that the plaintiff was well aware of the haulage charge at the time when he came about the timber.

CREW'S CHLORIDE OF ZINC , the best and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification of Ship's Holds ' Cesspools, Drains, water-closets , & c.; the Disin fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of Contagion. Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at Os. per C anon. Each Bottle wi.l be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diltnea with 200 times its quantity of water.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--LlvEnrwt, AUG. 13 (Crown • Court.—Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) ADMINISTERING POISON TO A HUSBAND. Martha Walker was indicted for having administered to Philip Walker a quantity of sugar of lead, with in tent to murder him. Mr. Overend and Mr. Higgins appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Sowler for the prisoner. The prosecutor is an operative cotton spinner at Ashton-under-Lyne, and has lived with the prisoner in comfort for about 20 years, until about 12 months ago, since which time they have had frequent quarrels. The prisoner is the mother of 11 children. On the 21st of May the prosecutor returned home at mid night, and the prisoner struck her son, upon which the prosecutor interfered. The prisoner said to him, "Hold your d—d noise ; you shall not live three weeks." He then asked if she was going to poison him, t o which she replied, "No , thou may live as long as thou can." He hit her with a poker. On the evening of the 24th, upon the prosecutor returning home from work, he got some coffee, which tasted disagreeable and rough, but he did not mention this to his wife. During the night he got up to get some water, and he then told her how he felt. Upon getting up at five o'clock in the morning, he took a parcel of coffee and sugar for his breakfast. On pouring it out at breakfast-time, he saw some white grains, and he took the stuff to Mr. Star, the druggist, and requested him to analyse it. On the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, he continued very unwell, and accused her of attempting to poison him ; but she denied having put anything into his coffee. She said some sugar of lead must have fallen from a glass in the cup board into his sugar and coffee. She said that she got the lead for the purpose of bathing her face, which had been affected by St. Anthony's fire. She recommended him to get some castor oil. The prosecutor gave in formation to Inspector Buckley, who apprehended the prisoner, and the coffee was analysed by Mr. Stone, of the Manchester School of Medicine, who found acetate of lead. The principal witness for the prosecution was of course the prosecutor himself, who stated the leading facts of the case and the symptoms under which he laboured. He was c ross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Sowler, and admitted that he had occasionally taken laudanum at nights, but never in the day time. In this, however, he was flatly contradicted by his sons, who stated that they bad frequently seen their father take laudanum in the day-time ; sometimes with a spoon and sometimes he drank it out of a bottle. Buckley, the officer, stated the fact of his apprehend ing the prisoner. chemist, Mr. Geo. Stone, analytical stated that he examined two parcels from Mr. Buckley, and found a quantity of white grains, which proved to be acetate of lead. Several children were called who stated that they had been sent several times by the prisoner for sugar of lead to bathe her face. Mr. Sowler addressed the jury at considerable length on behalf of the prisoner, observing that this was a most serious case, and the motives suggested against the pri soner were—first, a quarrel with her husband about a small sum of money ; and secondly, the base motive of possessing herself of the sum of 4/. from some benefit society, in case of her husband's death. The fact was that the weakness under which the prosecutor laboured was produced by laudanum, and Mr. Steer, the druggist remonstrated with him, and then he got laudanum else where. The husband denied that anything had been the matter with his wife's face, but it appeared that she was ill only three weeks before she was apprehended, and she got some sugar of lead then. The learned counsel then commented upon the conduct of the prose cutor, who just before the time of his wife's apprehen sion had got drunk along with her at a public-house, and now appeared to prosecute her. evi His lordship having summed up the dence, The jury found the prisoner not guilty. in IV.

In the sitting of the 20th Mr. Wentworth moved the appointment of a com mittee to draw up what is called " the new consti tution." The chief point discussed in this pre liminary debate was the future organization of an Upper Chamber, the establishment of which is the condition attached to the other concessions of the home Government. In the remonstrance of the Council of last year, the constitution of Canada was referred to as the model to be copied in the reor ganisation of that of New South Wales. The Cana dian Upper House is composed of members nomi nated by the Crown for life ; and Mr. Wentworth, in moving for the committee, assumed that the Council has bound itself to adopt that mode of constituting the Upper House, and no other. The Crown has granted what was asked, and it is argued, the Council has no right now to alter the terms of its demand. Only one member of the Council—Mr. Martyn—dissented from this view of the question ; he thought the Council was not so completely tied by the language of its remonstrance as Mr. Wentworth supposed, and maintained that the reference to the constitution of Canada was merely general—a mode of expressing their wish that the spirit of "responsible government," which lhas been so advantageous to Canada should be in fused into the future political system of New South Wales, and not a demand for the exact reproduc tion here of a Canadian institution. The commit tee, however, will, it is pretty certain, adopt Mr. Wentworth's view of the question, and recom mend that the new Upper Chamber be composed of nominees of the Crown. It is the readiest mode of meeting the difficulty ; but that it will be popular out of doors is more than doubtful. The nominee system is disliked in any form ; hitherto, every failure in colonial legislation has been ascribed to the influence of the nominee members of the Council, as at present constituted ; and it is the general impression that the new Chamber will be composed of nearly the same men who are now th the ent—at, in regular supporters of the Goverum . fact, the Upper Chamber will be little more than the nominee section of the Council sitting sepa rately, instead of forming an integral part of it. The unpopularity of the official members of the present Council will be transferred to any assembly constituted in the same manner by nomination. It will be prejudged. This is the disadvantage of the system ; on the other hand, it is argued the Crown is not limited in its selection to its present nomi nees, and that if the new appointments are made for life, as in Canada, some of the body might de rive from that security a degree of independence that would render them fair arbitrators between the Crown and the elected representatives ; and, even if the change went no further than sending the official nominees of the Council to sit in another Chamber, it would still be an advantage, inasmuch 1 as the Council, then wholly elective, would give a truer reflex of public feeling. At present great concessions have to be made to official influence to secure the passing a measure or the adoption of a report ; and some of the elected members will, per haps, not be sorry to see the representatives of the Crown fairly "in another place," where they may be " bombarded with good measures," and left to incur the undivided unpopularity of rejecting them. Something like this is very likely to occur. The committee to which all the despatches of the Colonial-office are referred consists of the following gentlemen :—Mr. Wentworth, the Colonial Secre tary, the Attorney-General, Mr. Martyn, Mr. Cowper, Mr. Douglass, Mr. J. M'Arthur, Mr. Murray, Mr. Thurlow, and Mr. M`Leay. The question excites no general interest ; the public mind is wholly absorbed by business, and the task of constitution-making falls in a very unfavourable time. Nothing less solid than gold and the large profits of the Traffic it has created command any attention. A series of five resolutions expressing the thanks of the Council to her Majesty's Ministers for the recent concessions, and proposing also an address of thanks to the Crown, was moved and discussed on the 21th, but for various reasons the resolutioni themselves were so strongly objected to that they were finally withdrawn, and a committee of eight members named, with Anstructions to draw up others. The 10. amending the Gold Regulations Act has been introduced and printed ; it removes many of the grievances that have been so much complained of, but, if the reports from the goldfields can be relied on, is still not considered satisfactory by the diggers. The desertion of the fields of New South. Wales for those of Victoria is ascribed to the strin gency of the regulations enforced in the former province. But the diggers are under any circum stances a migratory class, quitting one field for another, according to the reported richness of the ' finds.' The greater productiveness of the southern diggings drew them to Victoria in a rush ; and the discovery of richer deposits than those now being worked in the north would bring them back again. Under no regulations, however favourable, would they stay in an unproductive field ; nor would the most stringent rules keep them out of a very rich one. The number of workers in any district is, in the main, determined by what can be got in it ; the regulations that are so loudly condemned as " the cause of depopulation" of the New South Wales diggings may have some influence, but not half so much as people impute to them. The new bill will allow persons to " prospect" or try the ground without licenses in places that have not been proclaimed as goldfields. The prohibition of the issue of licenses to runaway servants and ap prentices is repealed, merely because it is impossible to carry it with effect ; but a conviction of hav ing absconded from hired service cancels a license if it has been obtained. Servants, persons in Go vernment employ, and clergymen, are not to pay license fees for residing on the fields, and foreigners are to be dealt with precisely as British subjects. With these amended regulations, if a few dazzling nuggets are turned up during the winter, the Syd ney diggings may again be tenanted. Without some greater finds than have lately been made, much effect cannot be expected of them. The committee of the Australian Anti-Convict League has decided on dissolVing that body so soon as the ministerial declaration of the abolition of transportation to any of the present Australian colonies shall have been legally carried into effect by an order in Council, or an act of Parliament. It is proposed to celebrate the dissolution of the league by the grandest banquet that has ever been given in the colony. The Adelaide steamer arrived here on the 21st ; the incidents of her voyage have almost brought steam itself into discredit, and the condemnation of the Royal Mail Company, on all sides, is deep and hearty. It is doubtful whether the Adelaide can attempt to make the voyage back to England in her present state ; the general impression is, she will be sent to India for extensive repairs, as there is no dock or slip here large enough for a vessel of her tonnage. The Shanghai has luckily brought the mail shipped by the Australian ; had that been delayed as long as the former one, the merchants of Sydney would probably have been supported by the Council in a strong remonstrance to the Post-office authorities at home on the mismanagement of their contract for this colony. Considering that the exports from Australia now equal in value those from the whole empire of India, the colonists feel j ustly indig nant at their postal arrangements being so bungled. Two glaring failures, and an accidental escape from a third, when millions depend on the advices both ways, are enough to give colour to any charges of neglect or incapacity in those who have the real control of the arrangements. The accounts from the goldfields are almost limited to the returns of the quantities of bullion brought down by the escorts, and the preparations made by the diggers for the winter ; many will quit the grounds to return in the spring ; the more steady and determined will camp out and work on ; bark huts and log houses are being built, and in many places the diggings present a more settled ap appearance. The roads, difficult in summer, are becoming worse, and the carriage of goods in again rising. At Castlemain (Victoria) there has been a disturbance, caused by the over-zeal of the police in illicit grog selling ; theyrepressing pulled down and demolished a store in the night without war rant or authority, leaving the inmates, lodgers, and o th e rs exposed to the weather. Such a proceeding o n suspicion was considered too bad, an d t h e dig gers thrown into an anti-police agitation. Indig nation meetings are being held, and placards are posted on the gum trees, inv o ki ng the spirit of Hampden against official tyranny. re port it was supposed that the lo: By the last eal commissioners would allay the storm by paying for the damage done. Half the business of the police appears to be in hunting out these contraband establishments.

To those not actually making money, life is a struggle with ex pensive discomfort ; many persons who were inde pendent of trade are leaving the colony altogether and returning to England ; professional men, Go vernment officials, and others are driven from the 1 city, finding it impossible to pay the rents de -, mantled, and are compelled to find residences in the country. Those who are employed at fixed salaries, or who hold Government situations, 'are the worst off, as they can neither quit them nor, like profes sional men, increase their income by higher charges. This unfortunate class is fast sinking into debt, - and the Government has been compelled by the hardship of their case to propose a general increase in the scale of all official salaries ; the measure is now before the Council, and, when voted, will pro bably be made retrospective, the increase 0111e naencing from the I s t o f J anuary l as t. , BArt iii ALL respects. Sydney offers only a faint picture of the state of things at Melbourne ; ;there VP are asked for mere hO ve l s th a t would not be demanded for mansions in Europe ; and the rapid increase of the population is beginning to be regarded with something like fear. So great is the suffering of the hundreds who laud there destitute that the residents, though till now very indifferent, have at last made an attempt to relieve it, by pre paring some place of temporary:. shelter for the new comers. There is some difficulty in comprehending how positive destitution can exist where every kind of labour is well paid ; but a large proportion of the immigrants are neither labourers nor mechanics, nor domestic servants ; the diggings failing, they soon spend all they hav e , and fall into a most miserable condition ; at last they are compelled to become labourers on the road, or anything ; but the struggle with pride is often long and painful. One of the Melbourne journals has published a solemn exhortation to this generally useless class, imploring them to descend cheerfully and " like Christians" to the menial occupations for which there is a field, at the same time lecturing employers on the folly of entertaining a prejudice against taking gentlemen and ladies for household servants--an additional difficulty with which the educated destitute have to contend. There is, it seems, something embarrassing to a master in having a graduate of Cambridge to black his boots or groom his horse ; and even if a gentleman offered to un dertake those duties, he would be rejected for one who could not be accused of mathematics or man ners. Yet, if the advice of the writer above cited Could be followed, it would be a benefit on both sides ; that it should be so earnestly giv en is on e of the inications of the anomalous state of society. The Monumental City, an American vessel, was .• wrecked on the night of the 15th by running on a rock in Malaaoutta, Bay, on her passage from Port • Philip to Sydney. 32 of the passengers and crew perished ; 54 were saved. The captain, W. H. Adams, is severely blamed for recklessness and keeping too close to the land, even against the warning of one of the passengers, who was well acquainted with th e coast. The night was fine and the wind off shore. P RIOE 50. permitted in the towns, Fa freer dispensation of licenses at the diggings might be made without detriment to morality, and would render the illicit sale of spirits less profitable. The regularity with which large quantities of gold are brought down to Melbourne proves, how ever, that the diggers do not allow their labour to be interrupted by such incidents. By a return sub joined it will be seen that the produce of the Vic toria goldfields continues rather to increase than diminish. The richest or best-worked diggings are evid6ntly at Mount Alexander. As long as the yield in Victoria continues so great no change in the gold regulations of New South Wales will bring the gold seekers back to the northern fields. It is quite possible the Sydney diggings may be no less rich than those of the south ; nothing is more ca pricious than the manner in which gold is distri buted. But to become popular they must furnish some counter-temptation to announcements like the following, taken from the last Geelong Adver tiser : " Mr. Esmond, the first discoverer of gold in Victoria, has just brought into Geelong a splendid specimen found in White Horse Gully, Ballarat, of the estimated weight of 60 ounces. It was found at 54 feet depth, in a seam of quartz running horisontally beneath a hard conglo merate of slate and quartz blended. The specimen re sembles those masses found at Canadian Gully. The colour, shape, and fragmentary appearance of the quartz are- the counterparts in every respect of those found at the Canadian. WhitelUorse Gully is close to Yuide's home station, and on the Ballarat side of the dividing range." Some of the miners now use gunpowder to loosen a bed of conglomerate from five to ten feet thick, which has to be cut through in the works at the White Hills and Ballarat. The cradle,' the first and simplest contrivance for washing the stuff, is being superseded by machines that wash greater quantities more thoroughly ; the long Tom' is an enlarged cradle, and the sluice' is a still more ef fective arrrngement for parties sufficient in number to work it. The whole process is gradually be coming one that requires a certain degree of skill, and that of a kind which must be acquired on the spot ; even in discovering the most likely places for claims, geological knowledge is often baffled where a sort of local instinct succeeds. It is the recom mendation of one of the scientific authorities of the colony that persons who have read up their geology for the article gold,' with a view to the diggings, had better, on arriving there ' lay all their science on the shelf as soon as possible.' The following return gives the quantity of gold delivered from the Victoria fields, at Melbourne, by the Government and private escorts, in the firs four months of the present year : Ounces. 186,015 . 172,329 . 169,654 . 161,431 Total In the corresponding months of 1852 the produce of the same fields was as follows : Ounces. . 64,834 . 56,108 51,865 . 67,556 COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. January February March . April 240,363 The increase is 449,066 ounces above the produce of the same period last year, or 187 per cent. But it should be remembered the fields are now more extensive, and worked by a greater number of per sons. There is no indication that the yield is fall ing off ; another return gives the quantity brought down in the last two months from the several diggings : SYDNEY, MAY 30. Our markets continue very active, and our trading community is in a most prosperous state. A very large amount of coin is in circulation in proportion to the paper afloat. , Money never was so ch ea p i n th e co l ony as at present, and we doubt not it will be cheaper still. We must then look for heavy speculations and speculative purchases of the most extraordinary nature being en tered upon. Credits are tendered liberally, and many houses will, doubtless, spring up ready to avail them selves of the favourable opportunity of obtaining heavy stocks. The trade and importers are, the most part, very confiding, and the colony, on the whole, in an ex cellent course of training for running into as heavy a crash as we had in 1842. Up to the present time goods were so exceedingly scarce that there was no oppor tunity for investment. We are having large quantities of goods coming forward, and the trade are stepping out of their line to speculate in land, houses, &c. With our immense resources we can never be long sufferers ; but even they cannot support the expense the colony now labours under. Consumable goods of all descrip tions leave an enormous profit. Manufactures of almost any description sell at extravagant rates. Materials of whatever description are enormously high. Mechanical labour of whatever class yields a most extraordinary return. Ale and porter are being largely consumed, and leave a very heavy per tentage. Bacon, hams, cheese, and butter rule exceedingly high, and the finest qualities most sought for. Fish, dried and preserved, bears an extreme profit, and the consumption is very heavy, though we notice a decline on the extravagant rates ruling during Lent. Spirits are quoted higher for brandy ; rum and gin 1 without alteration. _ _ Oats, oatmeal, barley, peas, malt, wheat, bran, &c., all fl uc tuating considerably, but leave large profits to the importer. Flour is rather easier. -- - Oilmen's stores leave a very heavy profit to importers, and, as the country stores had been cleared previous to late arrivals, are freely taken as they come to hand. Fine sugars aro in request, and some very suitable samples in the market, ex Fanny Fisher and Richard and William. Fine samples of Hy son kinds in request, and stocks light. The stock of Congous is rather fallen, and prices barely remunerative. BY GOVERNMENT ESCORT. Ounces.

The operations of the mining companies have not yet gained for them the entire confidence of the public in the colony. It is the general opinion here that for some time to come it will be impos sible to keep a sufficient body of workmen together to render mining on a large scale profitable. There are peculiar influences in the colony that tend to break up any organisation for gold milling not formed on the principle of share and share alike, both in the work and its profits. It is not the best system, but perhaps the only One practi- cable at present. Unless the companies can give the highest rate of wages men can make, or even hope to make, at the open diggings, they will not work for them long ; skilled miners are even less likely to be retained by employers than any other class ; they will be tempted by very high offers to become leaders of these small mining parties, to whom their experience will make them invalu able. As to enforcing agreements by law in the colony, it may be possible to a certain extent, but not for any length of time. Compelled service will soon be found worthless ; and though prosecuting their men may afford some degree of satisfaction to a board of directors, it will not pro duce dividends. Such is the character of colonial predictions ; though the possibility of mining for gold profitably on a regular system, in any other state of society, is fully admitted. All the condi tions of the labour market are thrown into confu sion or reversed, and all undertakings that require intricate and permanent arrangements are sus pended or cannot be commenced. One mining company here, is already, it is rumoured, on the point of being broken up ; and Mr. Hargreaves, the Crown comm issioner for exploring the gold districts, in his last report to the Colonial Secre tary, dated the 10 th of April, says—" The Great Nugget Quartz Vein Mining Company is diligently endeavouring to ascertain the extent - and value of their claim, and is in the course of establishing more extensive machine r y th an i s a t present in operation ; it appears extremely doubtful th a t th e vein will ever repay the capital that has been ex pended upon it.' For _expressing_ this opinion, th e secretary of the company, Mr. Mitchell, has called on Mr. Hargreaves to state as publicly on what data or special kn ow l e d ge he founds his opinion. The question has not yet been answered. Of the six gold mining companies five are noted in Bar ton's Share List without any quotation of a price for their shares in the colony ;of one—the Great Nugget Vein Company —the last London price of its share is alone given. Her Majesty's birthday, the 24th of May, was very loyally observed by the Sydney ' citizens of • the shops w ere c l ose d , and a general holiday kept. The Governor-General held a levee on the 24th, and gave a grand ball at the Government-house on the following evening. Rents continue to rise in Sydney, to the dismay of all who have only fixed incomes and no lease. Provisions, though far below Melbourne prices, are high, and the large importations do not appear to bring them down, as the purchases for the Mel bourne market are extensive. The great mass of immigration goes to Port Philip ; but the real na ture of the work required for successful goldseeking is becoming more kn own in the colony, and those who cannot undergo severe toil are compelled to find other employments. Wages have probably reached their highest rate. This cannot be pre dicted of hous e-rents, as there is comparatively little building going on. Capital makes a quicker re t u rn in other investments, and skilled labour can not be procured in sufficient quantity to con- SYDNEY SHIP NEWS.

The inhabitants of Dover and Folkestone were thrown into a painful state of excitement yesterday evening in consequence of the outbreak of one of the most tre mendous conflagrations that has occurred in the town of Dover hr many years, and which, at nearly midnight, was still raging furiously. The damage already done, it is feared, will amount to several thousand pounds ster ling, in addition to which a large number of persons will be thrown out of employment. The premises in which this terrible fire commenced belonged to Messrs. Walker and Co., oil merchants and seed crushers, situate under Dover cliffs, something more than a quarter of a mile from the Dover terminus. The discovery was made by one of the 60th Rifle Brigade, who in passing the mill perceived smoke in dense bodies hovering over the south-east side of the premises. Assistance promptly arrived, and an attempt was made to confine the flames to that part of the mills then on fire, but unfortunately without the least success. The fire was not discovered u n til a f ew minutes before ' six o'clock, and in less than ten minutes after the clock had chimed that hour the flames could be seen rising several yards above the roof of the mill, and were roar ing with a noise resembling that produced by several furnaces in full play. The powerful engine belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Company was immediately taken to the spot, and was followed by two from the barracks, with another belonging to the ill-fated factory. A strong muster of the troops was also soon at the scene, together with Superintendent Coram and a body of police. The whole of the engines were at once set at work, but the confla gration continued to spread, and became visible for miles. About half-past six o'clock the scene became one of fearful grandeur ; for the fire rose to a great altitude, and at the same time myriads of sparks and large flakes of burning material were drifted by the wind, and kept falling upon the house-tops a considerable distance off, exposing them to imminent danger. At this conjunc ture an electric telegraph message was forwaarnded. t London, requesting the aid of the fire brigade t n a ews en gines. Mr. Braidwood, upon receiptfrofm h w ordered r two idg e - r o o f a t d h e station brigade a engines, i tnhees otherone fr o om tli w e a S t o l u in th:- . street, to be sant to the London strong body of firemen.

Th e m ill, it s hould be stated, was situated at the end of Snares brook-street, under the cliffs, and was nearly half as large as the London-bridg terminus of the South- E a stern Railway ; and from the fact of nearly the whole extent of the works being on fire, O. - ere seems no chance o f getting it entirely extinguished until lade this (Mon day) morning for at frequent intervals, as the vats and casks of oil become ignited, they explode, and the con tents run about like liquid fire. The property destroyed already must be enormous, but it is impossible to tell at present the exact amount. A telegraphic communication has been received at London-bridge since the express train left Dover, to the effect that the flames were extending. It is understood that Messrs, Walker are partially l insured. The successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyon question that ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin vlarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated 011 is now universally act , nowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of Wnrintsas, EYEBROWS, and litusTactuos, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-c mb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft t at it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price he. 6d.
