THE PILE PIER ON. FIRE.

The wooden part 1.i1);." Fl;:p;;;: bad. narrow escape
from deatruction by fire on Wednesday afternoon, and
Wt of the rotunda was actually burnt. Mr. Witimble,
Me Nobble (Weymouth and Channel Islands Steamer
Company). and Mr. Lin (H. IL. Excise) were walking on
the pier, when they saw a Mune burst up from the round
end, and on the south side thereof. It fortunately
happened that a boat from 11.11.8. Thnifiterar was coming
Into the harbour, containing Captain Wit.. Lord
Charles Beresferd, lc., and on the alarm being given,
these reliant iffilorra at once had the boat headed for the
first eight of steps In the boat they luckily had •
bucket, and the *adore were at mos set to work to ex.
tingulsh the flame.. Having done this, as they thought.
effectually, the officers and sailors retired, but It was not
twig ere the fire burst out again; Kr. Win called on the
men of the Prince steamer, who ripped up the
boards and put the fire out. If the naval officers'
party bad not pared by when they did, it is believed that
In ten minutes the names would have take° a feat bold on
the structure, as the wind ICU blowing from the smith
east, thus directing the fire cm the rest of the Pier. It is
thought that some one must thrown down a lishted fusee,
which mouldered and eventually burst into name. The
pier has, at least once before, been in danger of being
beret, from this cause. The demote dom not •PPew to
be greet only extending for about four feet above, but the
beans underneath are seriously charred.

THE COLLEGIATH SCHOOL SQUABBLE.
We are Wormed that the objectionable rule—that
the master of the Collegiate School and boys should
attend St. Mary's—wit, not framed especially for Mr.
Ellis. in whose Evangelical sympathies there was full
confidence, but in order to ensue a control over any
master who might succeed Mr. Ellis, and whose
Evangelicalism might not be so well smeared. It would
be awkward, it warn felt, to make • rule especially in
view of such • master, BO the rule was introduced at
first that there might be no oocesion for making an
obnoxious innovation.
