They are to .tocorapleted in three years, and to cost 1,300,000 f. ii the 29th June last, James Thorpe, master of -,e English fishi ng sloop Wilberforce, saved and eof nded at Hull the crew of the brig La Francoise, Agde, whom he met at sea just as the vessel was o f g• Wishing to re war d th e generous con d uc t o„-uat seam an , the Emperor, by a decree of the 1 ', - u. August last, has granted him a s il ver me d a l honour of the first class. The ball offered to the Emperor and the Empress Thursday night at Dieppe w as g i ven i n th e eat re. In front of the stage a th rone was erec t e d , 'under a canopy of crimson velvet and gold, the w surmounted with a gilt eagle. O n th e aeat s hite satin which covered the back o f th e I mper i a l were to be seen the initials E. N. The pit - Was boarded over and the whole house was orna ntented with flowers, draperies, mirrors, and thou rLeds of lights. The company had a l rea d y assem d, when ab ou t n i ne o ' c l oc k cr i es of " V i ve l'Em perene, from the outside announced the arrival of their Majesties. A similar greeting awaited them within the house, as they took their places in the c hairs of state. The Emperor was in the dress of a general of th e army , an d th e E mpress was s i m ply uressed in white. Their Majesties were received the entr ance t o t h e t h eatre b y the Mayor an d Municipal Council. All the public functionaries rcl the offi cers o f t h e Tmper i al household were i n _pull uniform. Dancing commenced immediately after the arrival of their Majesties, the Emperor ... ta king for partner Mme. Sellier, the wife of the 4Y-1-agar, and her husband dancing with the Em press. Their Majesties afterwards walked several le round the theatre, and withdrew about eleven o'clock. Dancing was continued with un abatedspirit afterwards, until about four in the Incoming. The Empero r an d E m p r ess left Dieppe at two „,„ e' clock on Sat ur d a y a ft erno on, and arrived at St. ` 4 ° l .ld at six. Their Majesties were said to be in excellent health. " It is stated," says the Patrie, " that a grand fete will take place is the camp at Satory on the 16th inst., being the day of Sainte Eugenie." The Debats of Saturday says that on September when the last news was received from St. Peters mlrgh, no one then knew what would be the deci kon of the Emperor Nicholas relative to the modi fications which the Porte had made in the proposi tion prepared at Vienna, and which Russia had accepted. It adds, however, that this is not extra ordinary, as the dispatches stating whether the 41 nPeror Nicholas adheres to the modifications or refuses them would most likely not be sent to - Vienna Paris, and London until Saturday, the 1 0th, wh en the ordinary packet leaves St. Peters burgh with letters. That vessel will arrive at Stettin on Tuesday next, the 13th ; but i i s not impossible that the intelligence brougkt it ny that vessel will be anticipated by ex- traordinary couriers or by the electric telegraph. -A-s to the state of feeling on the subject at St. Petersbu rg an d Vienna, at the date of thelast advices, th e same journal says :—" In general, regret was felt that the Porte had not given its Unmodified adhesion to the proposition sent in, because that course would have had the advantage of at once closing the incident, which the proposed modifications will prolong and perhaps complicate. The persons who anticipate the refusal of the Emperor Nicholas, form theiropinion cumstanee that that Sovereign , fhis s acceptance to the when on the cir- he informed the Cabinet of Vienna note, declared formally that if the Porte did not give its unmodified consent without any alteration Whatever, his adhesion to the proposition must be considered as not to have been given. But, on the other hand, it is observed that the modifications proposed by the Porte are not of any real import ance ; and since the Emperor Nicholas has ad mitted the good offices of Austria, who acts in concert with England, France, and Prussia, it appears 'unlikely that he will, by a refusal, lead to new and grave complications. However, the Cabinet of Vienna, even in receiving the refusal of the Emperor, will undoubtedly not renounce the employment of diplomatic means. Although the basis of the negotiation are no longer absolutely the same, we are of opinion that the negotiation will not be broken of, and we persist in believing a. pacific solution of the question." RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A letter from Vienna of Sept. 4, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says : We can positively affirm that Baron de Meyendorff has declared that xio apprehensions need be entertained of the Em peror Nicholas assigning to the modifications intro duced by the Divan in the note emanating from Vienna an importance likely to throw any obstacle Irk the way of a pacific solution of the Eastern ques tion. He has added that the Emperor would pro pose to regulate directly the disputed poiuts by flans of negotiations at St. Petersburg. The eva cuation of the Danubian Principalities is to take Place it is said, as soon as the parties have agreed onthe essential pOints. The Presse of Vienna, of the 6th, states that on 1 11 13 Preceding day, Colonel Ruff had an audience of t he Emperor of Austria, to deliver to his Majesty 4 letter of thanks from the Sultan. The Independance of Brussels gives the follow 111g extract of a letter of the Belgian Consul at Odessa dated the 26th ult. :.--"The harvest in t his part of Russia is generally abundant, so that ~ Boon expect to have considerable arrivals, liich have, in fact, already commenced : the new ir s n is remarkable for its quality and weight. usiness in wool is very slack, which is the general .sequence of large operations in corn. There is 41111 a great want of vessels, and freights have tc Ore than doubled." It was stated some time ago, in the journal de e oistantinop/e, that in the C a ucasus the Russian t r T i °°l: , B had been defeated with a very heavy loss. .Borsenhalle of Hamburgh states, from War alw, that th e Ci rcass i ans h a d made a very warm a ck upon the invading force, but that they had 'fro rep u l se d , an d h a d l os t 800 m en, whilst the wo us sialls had only one man killed ' and nine co ended. This statement is probably quite as in starect on one side as that of the Journal de Con ntinople on the other. AUSTRIA. cro telegraphic message from Vienna states :—The lb, w4 of Hungary, and the rest of the insignia of tv : ll garian royalty, which were lost after the in ltuection, have been found at Orsova.

The obelisk erected at Turin in commemoration of the clergy having been deprived by the Consti tution of their ecclesiastical jurisdiction, was un covered a few days ago. It contains the names of all the municipalities which contributed to its erection. A letter from Rome, of the 31st ult., states that, in connexion with the recent plot, two boxes con taining arms have been seized in the house of a druggist named Lefort, who has taken to flight ; and that a priest named Raffael, two brothers named Segnali, and an engineer named Rumiti, have been arrested. In the residence of Rumiti, it is added, a plan for the execution of the plot was discovered. _ The new regulations relative to the state of siege in the Lombarde-Venetian kingdom are to come into force from the Ist of October. A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., states that 22 persons, amongst whom is the ex-Minister Ruggier 1, have been condemned to death by de fault, for participation in the events of the 15th May, 1848 ; and that 15 other accused have been condemned to hard labour, and three others to banishment for the same affair. Thirty others were tried, but acquitted. GREECE. A letter from Athens of the 26th of August says :—" The day before yesterday the Ministers gave official information to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, of the resolution of the conference of London relative to the order of succession to the throne. Official reports prove the harvest this year in Greece to be one third less than in pre ceding years." SWITZERLAND. From Basle, Sept. 8, we learn that by decree of the Federal Council, the Italian refugees Clementi and Cazzola, have been expelled from Switzerland. These persons have been convicted of having sup plied arms to the Lombard insurgents, and of having been in the closest connexion with Mazzini. BELGIUM. The Independence of Brussels gives a formal contradiction to -the statement that Queen Victoria is about to visit Belgium. The King and Royal family of Belgium have re turned to Brussels from Liege, where their recep tion was, if possible, even more enthusiastic than in the other towns which they had visited since the marriage of the Duke of Brabant. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY AFTERNOON. By the Royal mail steamer America we have advices from New York to the 30th, and Boston to the 31st ult. The America has brought 79 passengers, among whom are the Earl of Elgin, Lady Elgin, and three children. She has also brought 127,569 dols: in specie on freight. The steamship Europa, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston on the 31 st ult. There was nothing of importance from Washing ton. No definite settlement had, as yet, been come to with regard to the mission to France. The yellow fever still continued in all its viru lence at New Orleans. The number of deaths from it for the week ending the 27th of August, was 1,365 ; and for the three weeks ending on that date, 3,669. The steamer Georgia had arrived at New York from Aspinwall with 1,550,000 dols. in gold dust on freight. The Georgia brought the last advices from Chili, Peru, and Bolivia. The British barque Fortune had arrived at Val paraiso, from Sydney, in 45 days. The British barque Acacia had arrived at Val- paraiso from Hartlepool, with the crew of the French barque Robert Surcroft, bound to Califor nia, and lost off Cape Horn. Thd Pacific Steam - Navigation Company's Royal mail steamer Quito, had been totally lost on the 10th of July, by striking on a rock near lluasco. The letter bags and a portion of the silver were saved. Sixteen bars of silver, which were shipped at Copiapo, were lost. One person only is reported to have been drowned ; his name was Don Cruz Tobar. The Quito's bottom was completely torn out by the force with which she struck on the rocks. From Chili we learn that the Executive and Congress were zealously employed working out plans for the improvement of the country and the development of its resorces. The country in ge neral was in a very tranquil state. From Peru we learn that the difficulties between that country and Bolivia remained in state quo. No actual conflict had occurred between the forces of the two nations. Punta Arenas advices of the 20th ult. state that business was very dull in Costa Rica, and great difficulty was experienced in procuring cargoes. Coffee was selling at 10 dols. per quintal. The Go vernment of Costa Rica had it in contemplation to close the port of Punta Arenas, and establish another in its stead at a more northernly point, as being more convenient for the commerce of the Republic. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 9th ult. are devoid of interest. The black vomit was pre vailing at Acapulco ; many deaths had occurred. General Manuel Vallida had died of the disease. Telegraphic accounts from St. Louis of August 29th state that Mexican troops were approaching El Pase, intending to keep possession of Melilla Valley, where the Mexican flag was waving. The Mexican troops were deserting ; and one thing ap peared certain—that should hostilities break out, the majority of the inhabitants of New Mexico would lean to the United States. There was less animation in the New York stock market. Erie Railroad shares had declined to 1 ; New York Central Railroad, ; and Haarlem Rail road, to 1. No alteration in the money-market. Foreign exchange firm and in good demand. London, 1091 to 109 i ; Paris, 5 131 to 5 15 ; Am sterdam, 404 to 41i ; Frankfort, 401 to 40-i ; Ant werp, 5 15 to 5 174. Cotton in better request, but without alteration in price. Flour in good demand at advancing prices. Wheat in goad demand at 134 c. for Genessee white ; 1300. for Michigan ; and 120 c. per bushel for Oho red. Indian corn was selling at a slight advance. Provisions without alteration. A limited business had been transacted in Scotch pig iron at $34 to $35 per ton, six months. Freights to London.—Tobacco, 275. to 30s. per hhd. ; flour, 3s. to 3s. 3d. per barrel; measurement goods, 255. to 30s. per ton ; heavy goods, oil, &c., 325. 6d. to 355. per ton. From Bolivia we learn that Senor Aguirre had been appointed Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Senor Bustillo, who has resigned. The steamer Uncle Sam had arrived at Panama from New York ; on her passage thither she boarded Lady Franklin's vessel the Isabel, and found all well on board. The British mail steamer Bolivia arrived at Panama, on the sth of August from Callao, with $130,000 in silver bullion. Her Majesty's sloop of war Thetis, had arrived at Panama from San Blas, on her way to England, with $244,000 in specie on freight. Montreal advices of the 29th ult. state that the mayor of that city, the Hon. Charles Wilson, had been arrested by the Vigilance Committee, and held to bail in the sum of $B,OOO to appear on the 14th of October next at the Criminal Court of Queen's Bench on the charge of murder during the Gavazzi riots on the 9th of July. Three more of the rioters had been arrested. By arrival at Liverpool of the ship Columbus we have received late advices from the Brazils ; from Bahia the news was very unimportant beyond the gratifying intelligence that the fever was rapidly subsiding, and that very few cases existed, freights, 575. 6d. to 60s. to England. Exchange.-211d. From Pernambuco we learn that the Royal mail steamer Great Western arrived there after a pas sage of 23 days from Southampton. Freights continued exceedingly dull, there being only a trifling quantity of sugar in the port, for which prices were nominal. Cotton was quoted at 6,200 reis to 6,300 reis per arroba. Exchange.-28 to 28i at Pernambuco, and 28 at Rio Janeiro. AMERICAN SHIPPING.

LATE ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND. The following evidence was adduced before the coro ner's jury, after we closed up our report of the proceed ings in our first edition on Saturday : William Shrimplin, carpenter, recalled. In answer to the coroner and jury he deposed—l have been en gaged on these works for the last eight weeks as a car penter and joiner. lam in the employ of Mr. Lucas, and was ordered to put up two shores by Mr. Abra hams, who is the surveyor to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. Mr. Abrahams said he would wish to have everything safe. After that, Mr. Rowe came and I took my orders from him. Ile told me that Mr. Abra , hams had ordered some more shores to be put up, and we put up three more double shores. The first two were at the end of the house—the end nearest the Strand, They were about 10 feet apart. The top shore was 40 feet long, and the lower one about 30 feet. There were altogether five d ou bl e s h or es and three single ones, and they were all about 10 or 12 feet apart. The first were put up about six weeks ago, and the last three about three weeks ago. The tim ber used, in my judgment, was sound, solid, good timber, suited to the purpose. I have been a carpenter, andjoinerall my life, andhave had considerable experience in framing of different kinds, and the nature of the shoring required for such purposes. lam quite satisfied that the shores were sufficient. The wall was about 50 feet high. From the base of the wall to the foot of the shore was 14 or 15 feet, so that the shores, which were 30 feet long would reach up the wall about 25 feet, and those which were 40 feet long would reach up about 36 feet. Above the shores, therefore, there was about 16 or 20 feet of wall. I thought that the shoring was quite sufficient for such a wall. I needle my shores, not through the wall, but about six or seven inches into the wall, having a cross plank to receive them of -inch deal, by three inches, by 14 feet. The wall was very tender. It was an old wall, and the mortar did not appear to have much strength. I think it would not have been desirable, therefore, to needle the shores through the wall. I apprehended no danger myself, not a bit, or I should not have been at work under the wall. I was at work under the wall, within two or three yards of it, when I heard the crack and it fell, Mr. Rowe was thew also also. We both ran, but he stumbled and fell. When I heard the crack I looked up and saw the wall sinking. It fell out about 12 feet from the top, and then it all came down together. We had dug down below the footings of the house, about 18 inches in one or two places. We thought the shores sufficient, and I found that my shore stood to the last, until they cracked by the weight of the falling house. We had shores at the back end of the house towards the short wall that cracked, some part of which fell on Tuesday. About a cartload of that wall fell on Tuesday, but it was not con nected with the house, and we made it all secure. I put in solid wedges to prevent the shores from shifting. A Juror—Do you think that those 18-inch boles that you have mentioned had the effect of weakening the wall ? Witness—l don't know that it weakened it much. I should certainly say that it " wouldn't do it no good." The Juror. At whose direction did you dig those trenches ? Witness—At Mr. Rowe's. We did not dig under neath the foundations of Mr. Thompson's house. Ido not know the district surveyor, and am not aware whether he has seen the property lately. I have not, to my knowledge, seen the district surveyor upon the pre mises at all. By Mr. Bodkin—There had been some houses re moved and the materials taken away, and upon the site of those premises the new ones were being built. Having placed a hoarding round, we proceeded to do the first thing essential in building, which is to dig for the foundations. When we did that against the party-wall of the house that has fallen, we found that in some places the wall did not come down so low as we had dug. That was the case in one or two places, but in other parts the wall did come down, and stood beneath our excavations. Where it did come down to that extent we put in jack-shores to carry that part where the foundation of the party-wall did not come down to our excavations. I was up on the roof of the next house, No. 184, three days before the accident, with a plumb-line. I held the plumb bob and Mr. Rowe stood below, and we found that the wall was not above an inch or two out of the upright. Mr. Rowe was quite satisfied, and said there was no danger. Mr. Abrahams came constantly to see the progress of the works, and I never heard him express any fear of their safety. I never heard him say that the shoring was not safe, and he made no complaints. Mr. Rowe was a man of great experience, and was considered a clever man in the trade. We had orders both from Mr. Lucas and Mr. Rowe to send to the yard the moment any thing was wanted, no matter what the expense, and we always got whatever we wanted immediately. By Mr. Hawkins—There were no struts or shores of any kind whatever placed inside the cellar, or inside the party-wall, to resist the pressure from the wedging up of the outside shores. Mr. John Bush, builder, of 3, Mill-street, Lambeth, next presented himself. He deposed to the general fact that he had been employed by Mr. Thompson to examine the wall and to see that no permanent injury was done. He consequently saw Mr. Abrahams several times upon the subject, and was satisfied with the mode in which the works were being conducted. Mr. Thompsonhimself was anxious that the party-wall should not be pulled down, on account of the inconvenience it would occa sion to him in his business. He was not aware that either Mr. or Mrs. Thompson was apprehensive of dan ger. A portion of the parlour wall was down on Tues day afternoon when he was there last with Mr. Thomp son, and he was satisfied that that was insecure but that would not affect the main wall in any way, and before taking that wall down they certainly ought to have shored it, both from the inside and the outside. He thought the cause of the accident had been the giv ing way of the floors and the lower part of the wall failing and bulging out, which it would do on account of the shores resting only against the upper part. Had there been shores under the timber joists below, he did not think the accident would have happened. As it i was, for want of support the wall bulged out below the point where the raking shores supported it, and came down, and of course the upper part followed it. Mr. James Henderson was next called and examined. He said :—I am a photographic artist, and did reside at No. 184, Strand, until quarter-day last. I now reside at No. 204, Regent-street. I was last in the house in the Strand on Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock. I occupied the first floor and top floor, front and back. I have noticed a crack in the front wall of the house exactly at the angle where the front and party wall unite. It has been getting worse ever since the digging at the end of the house commenced. On Tuesday ast I put my flat hand up to the knuckles intoi t.l I complained of it to Mr. Thompson, and he said there was no fear whatever. The last time that I complained was, I should think, about a month ago. I was always complaining. I first entertained fears when the work began in October, and in fact I touk away my property and carried on my business elsewhere for three months. I have not slept there since last quarter-day. There was a crack right along the top of the room on the first floor also, and another in the room above, through which the rain used to beat in. I drew the attention of Mr. Thompson and of Mr. Phil lips, who is Mr. Abraham's principal clerk, to the cir cumstance, and Mr. Thompson always replied that it was quite safe. I have nothing further to say, except that I think the house might have stood for many years if they had not commenced digging so near to it. Upon Tuesday I thought that it seemeeworse, and some per sons who came in to have their portraits taken spoke of the strange vibration in the house. I take it that the vibration was occasioned by the weight of the traffic and the unsoundness of the foundations. The coroner here intimated that the case must be ad journed, and in the meantime, before they re-assembled, he should like to have the ground cleared and a plan of the property prepared. Mr. Hawkins said it would be very desirable if two or three independent surveyors would also examine the premises. The Coroner said that he had no power under the act either to make such an examination, or to pay the gentlemen who made it. He could only pay them for their attendance according to the usual scale for wit nesses, and the expenses of these investigations were very jealously watched by the magistrates at quarter sessions. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the Messrs. Lucas, said they were most anxious to further the inquiry in any way they could, their only object being to elucidate the truth. Mr. Ford, on behalf of the Messrs. Smith, volunteered to bear the expense of employing either one or two or three surveyors, to be named by the coroner, so desirous were they for a thorough investigation. Mr. Abrahams then observed that he should be quite ready to present himself for examination upon any future occasion. After some conversation as to the most conveni en t day for resuming the investigation, it was ultimately adjourned until the 19th inst. A MONUMENT TO N APIEE.-Of course th ere will be a monument for Napier ; it is his due by the custom of the country. It is not due on l y to him, but to the country itself ; for it is the only use to which we can now put him to make him a standard for those that follow. Where to put the monument ? We know of no place better than on the very head and front of the dis— trict which constituted his last command—on the shores of England, where he would have stood so well to defend us if we had been attacked, and where his very name may b e a word t o rem i nd the foe what sort of a man an Englishman may be. Nay, it appears to us that we owe him yet another tribute—it is to give him a worthy successor. We do not mean in the colonelcy of his regi ment —a post of command, alas ! which has become half honorary, half commercial in its character—but we meanin that di s t r i ct w hi c h was f or a ll it s hi s t or i ca l an d politi cal associ a ti ons so we ll a ll o tted to a man like Napier— the Kent militia district. If titles do not stray to men like Napier, let not the patronage of that district stray amongst mere titled commanders, but let some truly able man who seeks to emulate Napier's powers as a soldier, with his devotion as a patriot, be posted on that fore most a part man of b Englandepa id, if ap a n i t n e on gst the such can h English e fn p o eo nd pl e . 2 L 7a et such Leader. TREATY WITH THE REPUBLIC OF THE EQUATOR.—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have caused to be transmitted to the Commissioners of Cus toms, for their information and guidance, and the officers under their control, a copy of a treaty of commer c e and navigation between her Majesty and the Republic of the Equator, and the Commissioners have caused copies of the same to be transmitted to their officers at the several ports throughout the United Kingdom for their future government in the matter. FIRE AT MILL WALL, POPLAR. On Saturday morning last Poplar was visited by a fire which, in the course of a few hours, laid in ruins property roughly estimated in value at upwards of 100,000/. sterling, besides throwing out of employment several hundred workmen. The scene of this misfortune was the extensive iron steam-ship manufactory belonging to Messrs. J. Scott Russell, and Co., at Millwall, within a short distance of the Poplar railway station. The fire was discovered by a police officer on duty in the neighbourhood, and by the watchman employed on the premises. An alarm was raised, and several of the men hastened to the spot to render assistance but, notwithstandi ng th e i r exer tions, the flames, which it was at first expected would be confined to one particular building, made fearful pro gress, and very speedily extended to the floors above. The stock contained there proved such a powerful aux iliary that the fire spread in four directions, igniting in succession the erecting shops and the long range of carpenters' and painters' workshops. The powerful engine belonging to the firm was at once got out and set to work, but the water thrown by one engine made not the least impression upon the fire, which quickly broke through the roof. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the fire brigade ; Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D section of the establish ment ; Mr. Fogo, the head officer of the A district ; and Mr. Connorton, the foreman of the West of England office, were all hurrying with their engines as fast as possible, as they supposed, towards the seat of the calamity. Unfortunately the light of the fire deceived them, and, instead of taking the Middlesex side of the river, they crossed the bridges, and proceeded at full speed towards Deptford Dockyard ; but on reaching that establishment the firemen, for the first time, as certained where the fire was raging, and the engines had to be turned back and cross London-bridge. The powerful steamfloat, at Southwark-bridge was sent down the river as fast as possible, and thereby reached the place almost as soon as some of the land engines which had taken the wrong side of the water. The floating engine belonging to her Majesty, for the pro tection of the dockyard at Deptford, was also brought across the Thames and set to work, and also the lower float of the fire brigade from Rotherhithe station. The whole of the land engines present (10 in number) and that of the West of England Company were likewise set to work from a bountiful supply of water furnished by the East London Company's mines ; but, in spite of their exertions, the work of desolation continued, and the smithy, containing a number of forges, cutting and ploughing machines worked by steam, estimated to be worth 12,0001., and the carpenters' cutting department, a building nearly 90 feet long by 25 feet broad, became enveloped in one immense sheet of flame. From these premises the flames seized upon a lofty stack of heavy timbers, used principally for constructing the docks and internal fittings of the iron ships. The wind, which had been blowing fresh all the night, had by this time greatly increased. The firemen tried all that was possible to prevent the flames communicating with the pattern lofts, the mould lofts, and the coal sheds, but without success : and in a brief period the whole of these premises, composed of brick and timber, considerably over 150 feet long, nearly 100 feet broad, and three stories high, filled with ar ticles of great value, were wrapped in fire, which com municated with a spac:ous timber building belonging to Messrs. Napier, the steam engine manufacturers, ad doining the west side of Messrs. Russell's shipyard. The firemen, upon finding that there was every proba bility of the whole of Messrs. Napier's premises also falling a prey to the fury of the flames, brought all their force to bear upon the building that had just taken fire, and by great perseverence succeeded in preventing the spread of the flames in that direction ' • but the building itself, which was of great extent, and used as erecting, polishing, and fitting-up shops, was levelled with the ground and the valuable contents destroyed. By 3 o'clock the whole of the fitting-up and erecting shops of Messrs. Russell were burning from the base to the roof, and the heat was so intense that the firemen were frequently exposed to imminent danger. Two splendid iron ships built for the North of Europe General Steam Navigation Company, each 600 tons burden, one of which was intended to be launched on a h l a s v o e ex h zse ed d w to hil s e uc l h yi a n n g intense heat Sa tu r t d h e a y t n t e h x e t i w b o e w r e s slips. A vast amount of property that was in the mould lo f t s has likewise been destroyed, and the destruction of pat terns, among which were those of the intended largest ship in the world, to be built by the firm for the Eastern Steam, Navigation Company, has been most disastrous. Fortunately the premises on the opposite side of the yard, although much scorched, are not destroyed, and it is understood that business will not be entirely sus pended. Throughout yesterday many thousand persons flocked to the spot for the purpose of inspecting the ruins, and it required the services of a strong body of police to keep them out of danger. The damage done is thus officially reported :—The erecting shops, the fitting-up shops, the carpenters' and moulders' shops, the smithy, destroyed ; the stores, sheds, and contents severely damaged by fire, and the heads of two iron steam-ships on the stocks damaged by fire. The erecting houses, pattern shops, mould lofts, the carpen ters' shops, the smithy, the engine and boiler house, and the tool warehouses, the steam-engine house, the boilers and machinery therein, the stock and utensils in trade, the painters' shops, the stock and utensils in trade, with the vessels on the slips were insured in the Sun, Atlas, Globe, Phcenix, and West of England offices to the ex tent of 90,0001. Although no lives were lost during the raging of the fire, a body of the fire brigade were nearly killed while proceeding with their engine in search of the conflagra tion. As the horses were galloping with their engine through the Borough they ran into a hole eight feet deep in the middle of the road, which broke the forecarriage of the engine, forced the driver off his box, and pitched the firemen off the machine. Hambleton, the engineer, and the firemen, together with the driver, were all much shaken and bruised, but fortunately no limbs were broken. The engine was so much disabled as to be un able to proceed to the fire, and it was in consequence taken back to its station in the Waterloo-road. A very strict investigation has been made by the bri gade authorities, and also by Messrs. Russell, for the purpose of ascertaining how the fire occurred, but no thing satisfactory could be elicited. Such an extensive fire has not taken place in the neighbourhood for several years. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 10.—The British and North American mail steam-ship Africa, Harrison, commander, took her departure hence for Halifax and Boston, at 1.30 p.m. to-day, with 150 passengers on board, besides a very full cargo—as much as she could carry—and the usual mails.

In consequence of the alarming spread of the cholera in the districts occupied by the working classes in the eastern and western parts of Newcastle, a meeting of the poor-law guardians was held on Friday, at which energetic measures were taken to carry out efficient sanitary regulations to prevent the epidemic extending. Two assistant-surgeons were appointed for the districts that were infected, and the following suggestions made by Mr. Newton, surgeon, met the hearty approval of the board :-1. A sanitary officer to act in conjunction with the medical and relieving officer for the parish of All Saints. 2. Four or six nurses or female attendants to be employed ; also whitewashers. 3. From places overcrowded means should be provided for removing to the vagrant ward. 4. That.the inspectors of provisions should visit the Hamburg steamboats and fruit ships, with a view to ascertain and interdict the sale of rotten or unwholesome fruit. 5. That a " house to house" visitation be established to treat all incipient cases, and to cause the removal of filth and nuisances. 6. That a cholera station be placed about the west end of the New-road, where medicine and attendance can be promptly had during the night. 7. That animal food and bread and coals be distributed to widows and other very destitute people in the neighbourhood of in fected localities. 8. That the police be requested to stop the prevalent practice of throwing nightsoil out of the windows. 9. That the scavenging of the narrow lanes, &c., be done in the morning, and not, as at pre sent, in the middle of the day. 10. That all the lanes from the head of the quay to the east end of Sandgate be washed out by the water-engine. It was deter mined to make a careful "house to house" visitation, and report to a committee of the guardians each even ing—the medical men to have the fullest liberty in exercising their discretion in each case, without waiting for an order from the relieving officer. AN AFFECTING NARRATIVE. The Liverpool Journal relates the following romantic story :—About 11 years ago, long before the gold disco very in Australia had startled the people of England, and tempted from her shores some of her best and wor thiest sons, a silk manufacturer of Manchester, having failed in business, quitted his native country for that distant colony, leaving behind him a wile and two chil dren. To a sensitive mind there is no change so bitter as one from affluence to poverty, and so keenly did Mrs. M--(for so we shall term her) feel this, that she determined to leave the scene of her former pros perity, and accordingly came to Liverpool, hoping among strangers to hide her altered circumstances, and find a living by industry for herself and children. By the application of her needle she endeavoured to keep gaunt famine from her now humble hearth. Time flew on, and, although her husband had promised to write and inform her of his success in his struggles in a sphere so new, and cheer her with hopes of ret urn i ng fortune, no such tidings came, but after an absence of two years and a half intelligence reached her that he had died in a strange land. Unused to the rough labours of life, this was enough to fill with despair and dishearten the most courageous. The presence of her children, however, nerved her to fresh exertion. But the unfortunate seldom find friends, and those little articles, the wreck of other and better days, one by one went to find bread for the starving children. Even clothes were sold to meet the demands of a heartless landlord ; but in the meantime the stranger in Australia had prospered, and not only w r itt en to h i s faithful wife, but sent her remittances, which never reached their destination, her whereabouts not being known. Every article of furni ture bad been sold by Mrs. M--, and there seemed for her and her children but the last resource of the friendless, when the former unsuccessful merchant ar rived in England a wealthy man. Through a chain of circumstances the suffering wife and mother were dis covered, and once again raised to affluence, for, besides 14,0001. which was showered into her lap, large posses sions in Australia are now held by her husband. It only remains to add that the now happy family are about pi-oceeding to Australia ; but the tale may be relied on as one of the strange things told in connection with that colony and the eventful histories of families. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. ( From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS, Sept. B.—The markets have been of a rather varied character this week. There was a fair business done on Saturday in the Coloured Cloth-hall ; but in the white market the tone was generally dull and inac tive. On Tuesday the transactions in the White Cloth hall were again very few and meagre, and it was a de cided bad market—in fact, the worst there has been for a long time. There was a better feeling in the Coloured Hall, and a moderate business was done for a Tuesday's market. On the whole, the tendency this week has been towards dulness. The mills in the clothing districts continue in active operation, as it is the manifest policy of.every manufac turer, now while the prices are high, to work up his materials with all possible dispatch ; there is conse quently abundance of employment for every one that is willing and able to work. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.--Our markets are now so generally good ones, that it is difficult, week after week, to vary the tone in which an opinion is expressed of them. The same tale has to be told to-day. All kinds of seasonable goods have been bought up as readily as ever, and nothing of any consequence left unsold. Prices about the same. ROCHDALE, Monday.—There has been a good demand for flannels, more especially for those made of the lower qualities of wool ; goods of a finer description have not been so much inquired after. Low priced English wools are scarce, and better prices are asked for them. BRADFORD, Thursday.—The market of this day was characterised by dulness, though a good deal of business was done. In plain goods, Cobourgs are the principal article in demand. This is a brisk season for fancy goods. The present condition of trade is what is likely to continue for some time to come. An average sale, but perpetual struggling about prices to secure the barest profit ; purchases made from hand to mouth, without livelinesss or speculation. HALIFAX, Saturday, Sept. 3.—The market to-day has been rather quiet in nearly all its departments. Few sales have been effected in long wool, and the expecta tion of higher prices, which very recently prevailed, seems for the present at least to be checked. They ar e reported stationary and firm. Short wools pretty well inquired for. HOLYROOD PALACE.—We understand that it has been determined to re-floor the whole of the suite of state apartments of the Palace, including the Picture Gallery, and that the work will be commenced immediately after her Majesty's return to England. This, we have some reason to hope, is only the commencement of more im portant alterations and improvements on the house and grounds.—Scotsman. The Duke de Montpensier has just purchased the humble house which was inhabited by Fernando Cortes, at Castilleja de la Cuesta near Seville. The prince be ing desirous of transmitting to posterity what may be called a monument of Spanish national glory, is about to have the house repaired without changing its form, so as to leave it just as it was inhabited by the illustri ous Spaniard. VISITATION OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. —His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury concluded his triennial visitation of the diocese of Canterbury on Friday, September 9, at Maidstone. Before taking leave of his clergy the Archbishop expressed the great gratification which he had experienced at the state of the churches and schools within the diocese, and at the very full attendance both of the clergy and of the church wardens at the different places of bolding his visitation, LETTERS, &C., FOR GREECE AND THE lONIAN ISLANDS, —The following notice has been issued by the Postman ter General :—" Her Majesty's Packet heretofore con ' veying the mails between Malta and Corfu having been withdrawn, the correspondence for the lonian Islands and Greece can no longer be forwarded by the Overland üb t n l e i above di e nagys exec forwardedeo putnetd7tso thosea F r are adni foresp t ft c oh h re e diof conveyance r n o i i a n n L l o sl n a d nb o d n ys and Trieste, mail either via Southampton or via Marseilles.

DARING ROBBERY OF BANS NOTES.—On Saturday at the Brentford petty sessions, Ellen Haley Haley, aged 40 years, was charged before the magistrates with stealing five 1001. notes, the property of Michael Daley, her master, living in Daley's-buildings, Isleworth. John Poole, a police serjeant, stated that on the_ a 15th of August he apprehended the prisoner on board ship lying off Spithead, and preparing for her departure for_ New York. She had only 10s. 6d. in a purse, and an outfit sufficient for the voyage. g r. the prosecutor, who was a very feeble age, oldm t he ' a r F s p o e n a er r ing to be about 80 years of entered his service as housekeeper in 1851, and he had employed her sometimes to co llect his rents. She knew I n November, 1852, he re where he kept his money. ceived five 1001. notes, which he deposited in a box. He afterwards sent the prisoner with the five notes as a pre sent to Mother Mary, at the I sleworth Nunnery. She, ei ve so rich a gift, and he p u t however, refused to rec in the box again, them _he had never seen andthem chant and outfitter, at East since.—A provision-mer he bad furnished the oner Smithfield, proved that . . her friends, with themecesand four other persons, and the saries for a voyage, to New which ho York, articles were paid for by a 1001. note, .hafterwards paid into the Bank of England.—The prisoner, in defence, told a long story a b o ut Mr. Daley being frequently d r u n k, and her having to wash and dress him. She said he was a Catholic, • as well as several of his friends ; that his married daughter lived in the same house, but was not on good terms with him ; that on a particular occa sion she bad returned home and found the street door open , • that Mr. Daley was in bed and had been wounded in the face, and she attributed this to some thieves hav ing entered the house, who had, no doubt, taken the money at the same time that they had ill-used Mr. Daley. If she had been inclined to rob him, she might easily have done so when sent with the five notes to the nunnery. She declared, as a true Catholic; and as she hoped to be saved, that she had not touched the money, but had only taken enough to carry her to America, where her relations lived ! The prisoner was committed to take her trial at the Central Criminal Court. ~~
