FIRE LAST NIGHT.—A fire broke out last night in the office of Mr. Edward Brown, corn merchant, Fenwick-street. Fortunately, however, it turned out only trifling in extent. The fire brigade from Hatton garden, under Mr. Hewitt, was promptly in attendance, and speedily subdued the flames. The fire was caused by the timbers under the hearthstone having become ignited. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—In relation to the alleged foundering of the screw steamer Great Britain, we find that the fact r. corded in the books of the Underwriters' Association, is as follows :—" A small tin canister was picked up this morning, afloat near the mouth of the river, with two papers enclosed, on which some evil minded person had written the following falsehood : S.S. Great Britain foundered off the Western Is lands '—Memorandum • The Great Britain (s.s.) only left Liverpool on the 11th instant (last Sunday) for Melbourne, and was off Tuskar the next morning at four o'clock, with wind N.E." From the inaccuracy of the transcription given by our shipping reporter, we were led into the error which we now correct, and which we are extremely sorry to have been led into. BOILER EXPLOSION.—A boiler of a similar construc tion to that which exploded yesterday morning at the Magdalen Asylum, burst last night, between seven and eight o'clock, in the kitchen of a public-house in Netherfield-road North. Fortunately, however, neither life nor limb has been injured, though the violence of the explosion is sufficiently attested by its effects upon the walls. All the boilers, grates, and ovens in the range were blown out of their places, a partition wall was thrown down, and the back wall was shattered. A servant girl who was in the kitchen at the time almost miraculously escaped unhurt. The owners imagining , that it would be succeeded by a fire despatched a mes senger for an engine to Hatton Garden. Mn Hewitt, with a number of men, repaired to the spot, and, although there was no need for them in tilt capacity of firemen, they rendered essential service in clearing away the debris.

THE NEW LIME LIGHT.—Last night great interest was excited in Castle-street, by the display of a most brilliant light, exhibited—by permission of his Worship the Mayor—in front of the Town-hall. The extreme brilliancy of the light attracted a large amount of atten tion, and crowds were gathered in various places admir ing its beauty, and discussing its utility. The light in question is the oxy-hydrogen lime light, the intensity of which has long formed a favourable theme among scien tific men, and has led to many suggestions as to its ultimate adaptability for beacon and signal lights ; the drawback being the difficulty of effecting the con tinued emission of the light. The difficulty referred to is now said to be overcome ; and certainly the stream of light emitted from the apparatus in front of the Town-hall last night tended strongly from its steadiness and continuity to justify that allegation. In the instance referred to, the pencil of light was trans mitted through a lens consisting of several concentric rings of crystal, and the intensity of the light, which seemed a little redder in colour than is usual with the lime light, was most striking. LIVERPOOL CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET.—As com pared with previous years, we are informed that the Liverpool Christmas cattle market, held yesterday at Stanley, was a success—that prices were considerably higher, and the quality of stock a full average. The I supply of beeves was seasonably good. Some Scots and Irish beeves of a very superior quality were shown. In Scots, Mr. Gibbins, Mr. Roan, and Mr. Lamb exhibited some very fine animals, which commanded high prices— indeed, in many instances sales were closed at over Bd. per pound. Amongst the Irish stock were a very superior lot of heifers, shown by Messrs. Verdan & Cullen, Messrs. Patrick Leonard & Co., and Messrs. Maher & Kenna. These beasts were readily sold at very remunerative prices. A very superior Hereford bullock, in the stall of Mr. Banks, fed by Robert Rankin, Esq., of Brombro', Cheshire, was sold; we heard, for forty guineas. The number of sheep was large, but the animals were principally of inferior descriptions. Good old wethers were very scarce, and eagerly sought after, whilst middling and inferior were a slow sale, at about former rates. Beef ruled at from sd. to Bd. per pound, and mutton at from 6d. to Bd. WATER COMMITTEE.—Mr. Hodson presided at the usual weekly meeting of the Water Committee, yester day, and the other members present were—Messrs. Crellin, Beloe, Estill, Farnworth, 'Woodruff, Earle, Ben nett, agstaff, and Rae.—The Mayor said : Before commencing the business of the day, he thought it right to mention that several rep . erts had been made to him that numerous water pipes in the town had been closed by- the extreme frost, so that the poor were very badly off for water and he suggested that, if possible, water - carts should be -sent through the town to alleviate the ;inconvenience complained of.—Mr. Alderman Bennett said that, within the• last two or three days, he had heard of many accidents to the kitehen ranges, arising from boilers bursting, consequent on frozen pipes. He wished to caution every gentleman who had a boiler to be careful in the use of it, and, before continuing to use it, advised that application should be made to some respectable plumber, so as to ascertain whether the pipes v: ere acting properly. The most dangerous results were likelyto arise from the pipes being frozen, as in such a case an explosion would take place. He had heard of several f , Al cases on Saturday, and again that morning. The a ' 'idents, he believed, were -to be attributed partly to use of -cheap or , slop plumbing.--L-In answer to a (1: , 4 - ion, Alderman Bennett said he cop .idered the common back boiler, with a worm, :h.i ):_ ,t, and the high pressure boiler the most dangerous.—Mr Crellin agreed- with Alderman Bennett, and explained the operation of the two boilers.—The Engineer reported that during the week there had been received from Rivington 51,465,956 gallons of water, and that there had been pumped from the wells 32,557,255 gallons, making the supply 84,023,211 gallons. It appeared that on the pipe line two pipes burst on the 15th inst., near Stubshaw's Cross, in the neighbourhood of Ashton, causing no damage further than for a short time flooding eight houses in the locality. Workmen were sent immediately, and both pipes have been repaired. The water was turned on again on Sunday morning.— The state of the reservoirs was as follows :—Roddles worth, 2 feet 101 inches fall; Rakebrook, 2 feet 10 inches fall ; Anglezark, 21 inches rise ; Rivington, 11 inches fall ; Prescot, No. 1, fall 2 inches • No. 2, fall 2 feet 71 inches.—The other business before the committee was of a routine character, NORTHERN RAIL/ TiMEt,. LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES. CROWN COURT, !Benign/a . . (Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.) The• criminal business having been disposed of on Saturday, his lordship proceeded with civil business yesterday. ASSAULT AND RIGHT OF WAX : GREEN THE YOUNGER V. YATES.—This action was brought to recover damages for an assault, out of which arose a question of right of way through some fields near Leigh, and this was the real question at issue. Mr. Millward and Mr. Cross conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Leresche appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff, John Green, jun., is a farmer near Leigh, and his father is the owner of some property near that place. The defendant formerly occupied a shop, and afterwards came into possession of some land which had belonged successively to his grandfather and father. A footpath, leading from Lawton to Landside, passed through this property, which was used by the people residing in the neighbourhood, as it saved them a con siderable circuit by the highway. The plaintiff alleged that this path had been open for seventy or eighty years, and freely used by the inhabitants during the whole of that time, and no inter ference had taken place up to the time when the cause for the present action arose. The path had been re cognised as a public road, and stiles had been erected on it at vai ions places for the convenience of pedestrians. It was shown in corroboration of the plaintiff's allegation that when the railway was constructed over the path some 30 years ago, gates were placed on either side for the protection of passengers by the road through the fields. The defendant came into possession of the pro perty in February last, and since that time he had dis puted the right of people to pass that way; and a board was put up, upon which was written "No road this way." This notice had not been attended to, and the defendant subsequently took measures to obstruct the path. Among others the plaintiff persisted in using it as a road as it was a convenient approach to his father's place. The plaintiff and his wife were going along the path on the 9th June last when he was met by the defendant, and an altercation took place, Yates refusing to allow Green to proceed, while the latter persisted in his right to go on by the path. The plaintiff made his journey by that 'route, and was returning about half past eight o'clock in the evening when he found one of the gates across the path securely locked, and the openings between the rails closed with hawthorn branches, while the defendant was acting as sentinel on the opposite side from where the plaintiff was. The plaintiff removed the thorns in order to pass, and then climbed over the gate. The defendant formally warned him three times to desist, and then commenced to chas tise him in a rather unmerciful manner, and concluded by throwing him over the gate to the side from whence he came, and where his wife stood. A great number of wit nesses were called, some of whom were upwards of eighty years of age, and they deposed that so long as they could remember, the path had been used by the public without hindrance. The assault was admitted, and it was mutually agreed that in case the right of way should be proved, there should be a verdict of 40s. and costs. Witnesses were then called for the defence, who gave evidence to the effect, that in 1793 the pro perty belonged to Peter Yates, grandfather to the defen dant in the present action, and he made a footpath across the fields for the convenience of himself and family, and not for the public. In 1807 he married a second time, when he removed to another place, leaving his eon in possession of his farm as his tenant. This son (the defendant's father) continued as a tenant at will, up to 1839, when he became possessor by the death of his father. That portion of the property through which the path was made was called "Tie Nine Acres," and this became the property of the widow under the will, the defendant's father still hold ing it as her yearly tenant until her death, in 1845. The nine acres were then offered for sale, and the defendant became the purchaser, when he gave his father notice to quit. His father, in giving up the tenancy, claimed for himself and family the right to use the path, but the defendant threatened to resist the claim at law, and in consequence it was withdrawn. The defendant's father got into difficulties in February last, and an arrangement was made that the son should take the father's liabilities and grant him an annuity, on condition that the farm should be transferred to him. This was agreed to, and the defendant, on takingpos -1 session, at once took measures to prevent the path being used by others than himself and family. It was con tended that he had a perfect right to do so, as his father, who was only a yearly tenant, had no right to dedicate the path to the use of the public. With regard to the gates put up by the railway company, it was further contended that they had been put there for the benefit of the owners of the property, and not for public use. It was on the part of the defendant, that the present action arose from family feeling, the plaintiff having married the defendant's half-sister, by which alliance he expected to come into possession of part of the property ; but this expectation ceased on the defendant becoming possessor of the farm. The hearing of the case occupied the entire day, a great number of witnesses being examined on both sides. At the close of the evidence for the de fence, the Court adjourned. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLBS.) EDWARDS V. DAwsoN.—The plaintiff in this case was a car driver in the employment of Mr. Ewart, and the action was brought to recover damages for the loss of an eye occasioned by a violent blow which was struck by the defendant. Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. nopwood represented the plaintiff. It appeared that, on the 2nd of June, the plaintiff was on the cab-stand when he was called by the defendant (who keeps a public-house) to take home an intoxicated man. The plaintiff, however, refused to put the man in his cab, and a quarrel ensued in which the defendant endeavoured to mount the box, but was pulled down and fell upon the plaintiff. The defendant then went and informed Mr. Ewart, the car proprietor, that the plaintiff had refused a fare ; and, as he was returning, the plaintiff called him a coward, and struck him a slight blow on the arm. Upon which the defendant took off his coat and planted a blow on the left eye of his assailant; and it was this blow which occasioned the loss of sight for which the action was brought. Mr. Wheeler, who appeared for the defen dant, urged that the plaintiff 's eye had always been weak, and that the great provocation which had been given by the plaintiff would amply justify a blow of its severity. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £lOO. GREEN V. THE LANCASHIRE & YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.—This was an action to recover damages for injuries received in consequence of a railway collision. Mr. Pope appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Overend, Q.C., and another gentleman, were for the defendants. The plaintiffs were Thomas Green and Elizabeth his wife. On the 27th of June, 1857, Mrs. Green, who resided in Wigan, came by an excursion train belonging to the defendants, from that town to Liverpool. She returned to Wigan the same evening, when the train, which consisted of some 30:carriages, being delayed a considerable time at Kirby station to collect tickets, was run into by a luggage train..' The plaintiff, along with several others, sustained severe injuries in the head and back, so severe, in fact, were the injuries received by the plaintiff, that she has been almost totally incapacitated from following her business, by, which, when in good health, she earned about eight shillings per week. The learned counsel for the defence contended that the company had acted in a fair and open manner—that at the time of the accident, the plaintiff received 12s. in compensation, besides which she received medical attendance and medicine at the company's expense.—The jury found for the plaintiff, damages £l5. COTTER v. THE LANCASHIRE_AND YORKSHIRE RAIL WAY COMPANY.—The verdict of the jury in the last case decided this also, and the' counsel agreed for £2O damages. ROCKS v. Wm:L-74n this case the plaintiff was the owner of a cotton mill, and the action was brought to recover compensation for injury done to the plaintiff's property by the defendant forcing an entrance into the mill. The defendant pleaded guilty to entering the house, but offered plaintiff £5 as a recompence. Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant was represented by Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Kaye. From the evidence of the witnesses it would appear that in September last in consequence of an advertisement which appeared in the papers, the plaintiff was induced to occupy a mill situated on Cinder-hill. For the fixtures, &c. of this mill he agreed for the sum of £263, £2OO, of which was deposited as an earnest of the bargain. The remainder of the money was to be paid in instal ments, the first OT which fell due on the 28th of January. i The plaintiff entered and commenced working the mill, I and continued doing so until the last day of 185 S, and upon the morning of that day he found the defendant, together with some other men, upon his premises, Be ran to the mill and shut himself in, but the defendants coming after him broke open the door, and commenced ordering the plaintiff's servants to dispose of some cotton that was strewn about. For the defence it was urged that the defendant had some right to the property', but the case was settled without submitting it to the consi deration of the jury, by the plaintiff accepting £ll3 for the damage done to his machinery, a guarantee being provided against any future claim that could be made upon the plaintiff. BROWN v. DAVIRS.—This was an action to recover damages for a libel which had been uttered by the de fendant upon the plaintiff's character. Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Brett were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Quin for the defendant. The plaintiff is an architect, carrying ou business in Hull, and the de fendant a lixendraper in the same city. The libel com plained of was uttered in St. George's-hall, at the late Summer Assizes, during a conversation between the defendant and a gentleman called Deft. The slander was with reference to the payment for some buildings which the plaintiff was building in Hull, and the de fendant imputed fraud to the plaintiff. The defence set up was, firstly, a denial; and, secondly, a justification. The case occupied the court up to a late hour last night, and it will be resumed this morning at nine. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. J. S. MANSFIELD.) ASSAULT ON POLICE-OFFICEE.S. —John Newton, a young man, was brought up on a magistrates warrant, for assaulting Police-constables 153 and 499, in Wind sor-street, on the 2nd of October last. The prisoner stated that he had been, in Manchester since August; but being unable to substantiate this by evidence, he was sentenced to pay a fine of L 5, or be imprisoned for three months. ATTBMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDB. - Mary M'Kenna, rather a decent-looking young woman, who resides in Cotter-street, Toxteth-park, was brought up on the charge of attempting to commit suicide. Police-officer 539 stated that he apprehended the prisoner on Satur day, in the act of leaping into the river from the end of the south Landing-stage. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stated that her mother and herself were going over to the other side of the water to work. They had some words on the Stage, and she threatened to leap into the river, but had no intention whatever of doing so. She also said that her husband ill-used her. —Mr. Mansfield advised her to go home, and do her duty to her husband. ROBBERY ON Boanu SHlP.—Alexander Thompson was brought up bn the charge of robbing Richard Hornby of a sum of money on board the ship Vigo, from New York. Mr. Bluck appeared for the defence. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner and himself were both third-class passengers on board the above-named ship. The prisoner came from Canada, and prosecutor came from the city of Providence, Rhode Island. They occupied berths next each other. After the vessel sailed, he was completely overwhelmed with sea-sick ness. On the morning of the 7th or Bth instant there was a cry on board of " Ship ahoy !" which was mistaken for "ship on fire." Shortly after the hurry and confusion that was occasioned by this, he discovered that his money, which he carried about his person, was gone, and he recollected feeling the prisoner's hand in his pockets. The money con sisted of twenty-two English sovereigns, two Australian sovereigns, twelve half-sovereigns, three twenty-dollar pieces, five one-dollar pieces, two two-dollar bills, and two one-dollar bills. He mentioned the circumstance immediately after to the captain, and the person whom he suspected to be guilty, but the captain would not allow any one to be searched on board. On his arrival in Liverpool he gave the prisoner into custody. [The prose cutor was here shown the money which was found in pos session of the prisoner, and swore that a sovereign he saw amongst it was his property.] Police-officer 706 stated that when he apprehended the prisoner, and questioned him respecting the charge, he at first said the money belonged to himself, and afterwards that he was bringing it home for a relation. Mr. Bluck contended that nothing was more probable than that the prisoner and prosecutor, coining as they did from the same country, should be in possession of similar coin ; that as there was no evidence but that of the prosecutor, he did not think there was a case made out against the prisoner. Mr. Mansfield, however, committed him for trial. Imßiaa.i., DETENTION OF A. DOCUMENT Captain Coran, of the ship Asia, was brought up on the charge of detaining a document in an illegal manner. The circumstances are as follow :—Richard Bland, first mate of the same ship, summoned him before the magistrates for a balance of wages. The summons was withdrawn, and Mr. Cobb, who was Bland's attorney, presented the account to Coran, and asked if he would pay it. As soon as Coran got hold of the bill, he said, "This is mine, and I'll stick to it." Bland, on the advice of Mr. Cobb , gave him into custody, when he was immediately conveyed before Mr. Mansfield, who discharged him, on the ground that the document was of no value whatever to any one. (Before Messrs. SHAND and RATHBONE.) CLAIMS on Wkons.—Richard Bland summoned Captain Coran, of the ship Asia, from Hull to Bombay, for a balance of wages which he said was due to him. The whole amount was over £6O, but Mr. Cobb, who appeared for the complainant, advised him to sue only for £5O, as that was the extent to which the magistrates had 'jurisdiction. Several sums, how ever, had been paid on account, and when it was intimated that these sums would be deducted from the £5O, the complainant withdrew the summons.— Charles Schwarey, second-mate of the Asia, also sum moned Captain Coran for a balance of £25 19s. 4d. The captain acknowledged the debt, with the exception of forty-five rupees, which, he said, he had on one occa sion paid the complainant ; but, having no receipt to show for the sum, the case was decided against him. FRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPLOSION AT WOBURN-HILL. About twelve o'clock on Sunday noon, a most frightful explosion took place in the house of Mr. Sharpe (of the firm of R. S. Sharpe & Sons, coffee-roasters), Woburn hill, near Stanley. About the hour stated, it appears that a girl named. Shaw, one of the domestics, had just goneinto the kitchen for the purpose of preparing dinner for the family, and` almost at the instant she en tered, the boiler attached to the kitchen-range burst with a fearful force and noise ; the report, indeed, being heard for a considerable distance round the neigh bourhood. Mrs. Sharpe and an invalid daughter, with the exception of the girl Shaw, were the only inmates .of the house at the time, and the two former were in an upper apartment—the bedroom of the dau.ghter,.who was confined to bed. And so power ful was the explosion that the bed and the chairs, in the room referred to, were lifted, as Mrs. and Miss Sharpe say, fully a foot from the floor. In a state of great alarm Mrs. Sharpe ran down stairs to see what was the matter ; and, on looking into the kitchen, she was shocked at seeing that the whole of her kitchen range was blown out, and that the floor was Strewed over with fragments of, it. 'All the furniture and other things in the - kitehen were les4 or more destroyed. The whole of the kitchen :window—frame and all—was bloWn out, 'and thrown to a cOnsiderable 'dbitance. • SeVeral of the other windows, in the house .were also shattered. A more a h Coreispection discovered the poor girl, Shaw, lying nearly' linried and much hurt, under amass of fragments blown'froni the boiler, and the bricks with which it had been built. She was much scalded, and severely wounded by fragments Of the boiler. Mr. Pritchard; surgeon, Fairfield, and two other medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance, but from the very serious nature of the injuries sbe had sustained, they entertained no hOpes of her recovery. FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE MAGDALEN INSTITUTION. An accident, as terrible as it was unexpected, and which has in two cases already been attended with fatal results, took place yesterday morning at the Magdalen Institu tion, •Mason-street, Edge-hill, in consequence of the explosion of the steam boiler in the washing house. The boiler was constructed on the self-feeding principle. About half-past eight o'clock the inmates were pre paring to commence washing. Before the fire was put to the boiler the feeding cistern was examined, and found to be full of water, but covered by ice, which was broken. Naturally supposing that the water would run into the boiler in the ordinary manner, the fire was lighted. The supply pipe, however, being frozen up, the water was prevented from making its way into the boiler, and the small quantity left in it from the time it had been previously used being converted into steam, the result was the explosion. The boiler was lifted entirely out of its building scattering fragments of brick and iron in all directions. Two girls, who were sitting in front of it, were hurled with such violence against the opposite wall, that one of them died almost immediately after being taken to the Royal Infirmary, and the other ex pired at one o'clock, p.m. The laundress, who was passing through the door opposite the boiler, about twenty feet distant, was severely injured by some frag ments striking her on the arm, above the elbow, and between the shoulders. Of three other in mates who sustained injuries, one is seriously scalded, the other two, though severely are not seriously burnt. The promptitude and attention of the police in the vicinity was exceedingly creditable. As soon as the front door was opened there was an officer ready to come in, and others immediately joined him, so that no time was lost in removing the five sufferers to the Royal Infirmary, and the laundress to the West Derby Hospital. Two of the inmates with commendable courage and presence of mind, while the majority were completely paralysed rushed down, and entered through the broken windows, the door being impassable, to the relief of sufferers. The wash-house presents a sad spectacle, being com pletely filled with the debris of the boiler and fragments of broken windows. CORRESPONDENCE. [TITe do not hold ourselves responsible . for the opinions of our correspondents.] FROST AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Sia,—lt cannot be too generally known that loss of life and damage to property may occur during prevalence of frosty weather from mismanagement of the boiler, or cisterns placed in most houses at the back of the kitchen fire-grate, for conveying hot water to baths, &c. Only yesterday, an instance occurred in my house, near Wal ton, where, with a loud explosion, the boiler. burst, car rying with it all the ranges, ovens, grates, &c., with ter rific force, and in broken fragments, setting the kitchen furniture on fire, and doing much damage. Most pro videntially the servants were not about at the precise moment, or they would have been killed on the spot. The cause of such accidents most likely arises from the steam not having egress, the pipe through which it is intended to escape being full of ice. Better discontinue (until a thaw comes) using the kitchen, with grate and boiler so attached. Housekeepers and owners cannot at present be too cautious on this head.—Yours, &c., - ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. The archdeaconry of Ely, which became vacant by the death of the Venerable C. Hardwick, M.A., has been conferred upon the Rev. Francis France, 8.D., fellow and tutor of St. John's College, Cambridge. The new archdeacon graduated in 1840. On Sunday morning the Bishop of London held a general ordination in St. Paul's Cathedral, being assisted in the ceremony by the Very Rev. Henry Hart Milman, D.D., Dean of St. Paul's ; the Very Rev. William Hale, M.A., Archdeacon of London ; the Rev. J. H. Coward, M.A , rector of St. Benet's, Paul's Wharf ; the Rev. W. H. Milman, M.A., rector of St. Augustine and St. Faith; and the Rev. Edward Parry, M.A , rector of - Acton, his lordship's chaplain. Full choral service was performed, the prayers being beautifully rendered by the Rev. J. H. Coward, and the lessons read by the Rev. W. H. Milman, M.A. The Rev. Dr. Goulbum, prebendary of St. Paul's, and incumbent of St. John's, Paddington, late head master of Rugby School, was he preacher, and made a most eloquent discourse. He selected for his text the Ist chapter of St. Paul's Second Epistle to the Corinthians, 6th verse—" And whether we be afflicted it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer ; or whether we be comforted it is for your con solation and salvation." The sermon concluded, and the Bishop having taken his seat in front of the communion table, the candidates were presented to him by one of his lordship's examining chaplains, the Rev. Edward Parry, M.A., rector of Acton, in the absence of his lordship's other examining chaplain, the Rev. Professor Stanley, canon of Christ Church, Oxford. Twenty-one deacons and twenty priests were admitted into holy orders. After the ordination, the bishop licensed thirteen newly ordained deacons to euracies in his diocese. The bishop was attended by Mr. J. B. Lee and Mr. liassard, his secretaries. The service throughout was extremely solemn and impressive, the arrangements made being of the most judicious character. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SOUTHWARK.—On Saturday morning, between the hours of three and four o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. C. Skinner, wheelwright and cab-master, Surrey-row, Blackfriars-road. Owing to the nature of the stock, the flames spread with amazing rapidity ; and notwithstand ing the good supply of water, they were not extinguished until the premises were destroyed. We (.1: thenceum) understand that the contributions to the Scientific Relief Fund, organised by the Royal Society, already exceed £3,000, and that the amount has been invested in the public securities in such a manner as to form a separate account from that of the society's other funded property. With her usual liber ality, and desire to make her great wealth useful, Miss Coutts has subscribed £lOO to this excellent fund. LOSS OF A. SHIP AND FIFTEEN HANDS.—SHIELDS, Saturday.—Mr. A. Strong, of North Shields, has re ceived a telegram from Constantinople to-day, informing him of the loss of the barque. Arthur Wellesley, in the entrance of the Bosphorus. The Arthur Wellesley was on her passage to England from the Black Sea, and we regret to state that the master, Mr. Graham, the chief officers and all the crew but one, a seaman, have perished with the vessel. These are the only particulars that have arrived, but the vessel would have at least a crew of sixteen hands. Hou.owAr's OINTMENT AND PILLS.—With these marvellous remedies always at- hand, no sick person need despair of being perfectly cured ; they act, iu unison, on the absorbent system ; giving tone and vigour to all the functions of life. Their surprising sale is proof that their virtues have not been overrated. In bad legs, scrofula, and diseases of the skin, they are wonderfully efficacious. Thousands, of persons who suffered from these dreadful maladies have been .com pletely cured after every other means had failed. There is no case, however obstinate, or of however long dura tion that can ultimately resist the united action of these medicaments. PROFESSOR LIEBE° AND THE SEWAGE QUESTION. — Baron Liebeg has, in a series of letters, called public attention to the system of sewerage in large cities. He directs attention to what Babylon. and. Assyria once were, and to what they are now, and urges upon us to learn in time, from their melancholy fate, which he is of opinion we certainly shall share one day if we do not provide against it, and which, in the case of those ancient seats of civilisation, he seems altogether to ascribe to the gradual exhaustion of the soil by a system of agriculture in which care was not taken to replace every atom of fructifying material taken from the field in the harvest. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BIRMINGHA.M.—Between three and four o'clock on Saturday morning, the premises of Messrs. T. Upfill and Sons, iron bedstead manufacturers and general merchants, in SheeßCote-street, were dis cOvered in flames. The fire originated ina warehouse on the middle floor, and spread with such rapiditT,that in a short, time the whole of the Warehouses and store rooms, occupying a, length of abont twenty-five yards, a w g e e re tothe were a mass of flames. The engines were quickly on stock' T an h cl e the spot, and succeeded in confining . the flames to ,the part of the building in which it originated. The fire was not subdued till about ten o'clock. The whole of 'uninjured: building is estimated at about £4,000. bthuielcuivonrgksishOiins•ssuirtueda,tecalmidn T h e e rear ail VACANCIES, APPOINTMENTS, AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.--War Office.—Mr. George Alfred Jolly has been appointed a temporary, clerk ,in the Military Store Department, and received ,his certifi cate of successful examination ; Mr. D., F, F.

MATTHEW'S CHURCH, BETHNAL GREEN, BY Frum—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fire broke out in St. Matthew's Church, Bethnal Green. The fire was discovered by the police, who at once sent for assistance. The incum bent, curate, and several parochial officers, were shortly on the spot. Numerous engines shortly arrived and dot to work in an admirable manner, but it was not extin guished until the church and tower were entirely burnt out. ROBBERY OF EMPLOYERS ON AN EXTENSIVE SCALE. --At the Police-court, Wolverhampton, on Saturday, William Rous, a porter in the employment of Messrs. Campion, Jones, and Co., chemists and druggists there, was, in conjunetion with two accomplices named Cad wallader and Lapp, charged with robbing his employers to a very large amount. It appears that for a long time Rous has ben in the habit of removing quantities of goods, such as oil and borax, in which, and in the dis posal of the plunder, he has been assisted by the other prisoners. Inspector Butler, of the detective division, stated that he had been watching the parties for some months, but had only recently obtained such informa tion as warranted him in taking them into custody. Cadwallader, on being arrested, admitted his guilt. Already, a considerable quantity of the booty has been recovered, and losses to the amount of between £2OO and £3OO have been ascertained, but it is feared that the actual loss has been much greater. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—About six o'clock on Satur day evening, a girl, twelve years of age, named Cathe rine Long, daughter of Mr. Wm. Long, of Chapeltown, near Leeds, was met in the high road near the police station by a dastardly scoundrel, who seized her and asked her if she had got any money. She said she had not, upon which he told her she would have to accom pany him. She said she would not, and began to cry. The ruffian then drew a knife from his pocket, and say ing if she made a noise he would kill her, he dragged her across the road, past the police station, to the end of Back-lane, and there cut off all her hair with a pair of scissors. He also took her hair pads. The man, who is described as being of the middle height and of gentle manly appearance, with moustache and beard, then made off in the direction of Leeds. He can be identified. GIFT To BURNS' NIECES.—The members of com mittee of this fund met in Ayr on Thursday, to receive the report of the secretary, and to take steps for invest ing the money subscribed for behoof of the Misses Begg. Mr. Hugh Cowan, the treasurer, read the se cretary's report, from which it appeared that the total contributions amounted to £1,128 Bs. Id. The total expenses amounted to about £52. After some consder ation, it was agreed that annuities of £2O should be pur chased for each of the Misses Begg, which would cost about £540 ; the remaining balance, £460, to be placed at their disposal, with the consent of trustees. Of the £76 overplus, it was agreed to remit £5O to the fund for behoof of Mrs. Thomson, the poet's daughter ; while the remaining £26, together with any further subscriptions which might be received, should be subse quently appropriated as the committee might see proper. —Scotsman. ligorting 3attifigna, RACING FIXTURES FOR 1860.
