SERIOUS FIRES AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE.

persons were kernel over the window, the flames fired their
night-clothes, and both were so seriously burned that they
had to be removed to the hospital. The building was all
bat destroyed, and the contents concerned. The total lose
is considerable, and unfortunately the sufferers are unin-
sured. _ _ _

Another fire, attended with a far greater destruction of
property, occurred in the premises belonging to Mr. L Duke,
also a box maker, in Eagle-wharf-road, New North-road.
The factory was burned down, the costly stock in trade
destroyed, and the roof of the dwelling house adjoining
slightly damaged by fire, water, and breakage. Unfortu-
nately the sufferer was uninsured. The building, however,
was insured ha the Royal Fireofflee.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Don Giovanni was performed lost night for the
lientiiimatilla maces ; ma this greatest of opine, es it
never fails to So when properly got up aod well per-
formed, drew au imosenae hones. It was on this occasion
got up with even more thee usual are. AU the scenic
appointments were rich and nvignificent, and the perform-
ance, taken altogether, was excellent. Mdlle. Fried, u
Donna Anna, appeared to greater advantage than she has
yet. She sang with mach vocal power, and her action was
intelligent and energetic. Mdlle. Patti was as captivating
a Zorlina as ever, and had the good taste to sing Mozart's
music as it is written, without the profusion of so-called
eroballishmente in which she is often too much inclined to
indulge. Madame Ruderadortf is one of the few performers
who understand the character of Duna Elvin, and are
able to give it due importance and interest. Faure was the
Don Giovanni—certainly the best representative of the

aristocratic libertine now on the stage. Formea's Leporello
was, u usual, an admirable reading of the part ; arid
Ronconi's Montt* le in his richert vein of comic humour.
So performed. the opera was a delightful entertainmeot,
and went off with even more than ordinary spirit and ap-
plause.

THE APPROACHING ROYAL VISIT TO THE

CITY.

Costly and elaborate preparations are being made
by the corporation of the city of London for the forth-
coming ball at Guildhall in honour of the marriage of the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and which their royal high-
siesta will grace with their presence.
The day for the fete was originally Axed for the Ist of
June, but it has since been altered to Monday, the Bth, to
suit the oonveniene,e both of their royal highnesses and
of the corporation. A special emulates of the Courts of
Aldermen and Common Council, to the number of nearly
50, with Mr. Wyatt Trosoott, the chairmen of the City
Lends Committee, at its head, has been appointed to manses
the entertainment, and sits from day to day at GuildhalL
The Duke of Cambridge has been pleased to accept an in-
vitation, and other members of the royal family are ex-
pected to be present. The number of invitations is under-
stood to be limited by the corporation to 1,5(1 All the
Ministers of State and Foreign Ambassadors will be in-
vited, with many other distinguished persons. An
elegant reception saloon, two stories high, and cover-
ing the whole open space in front of Guildhall, is being
expressly erected for the entertainment, and the interior of
the great hall itself will be decorated under the direction of
• committee, who are now engaged in considering the cha-
racter of the embellishments. Over the entrance saloon in
Gruldhall-yard will be a spacious apartment, dorigaed to
accommodate 1,000 of the company at supper at one time.
It is intended to confer the freedom of the City upon the
Prince on this auspicious occasion. The ceremony of presen-
tation will take place at 9 o'clock in the great hall, and be
conducted with befitting splendour in the presence of such

conclusion the ball will be opened. The ancient Company
of Merchant Taylor, are also making becoming preparations

THE WRECK OF THE ANGLO-SAXON.

Mr. DAWSON asked the President of the Board of Trade
whether any detailed report bad been made to his depart-
ment of the loss of the Anglo-Saxon steamship, from Lon-
doaderry to Quebec, on the 27th April, and whether the
circumstances of that lamentable event were oorrectly stated
in the public press; also, whether the government had ever
refused permission for the use of Daboll's fog trumpet upon
Cate Race. in Newfoundland; and, if so, what were the
filo:aids for such refusal. He said that having teen several
shipwrecks on the coast of Newfoundland, be was anxious
to know whether say step had been taken to establish a
fog signal.
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that no detailed statement or re-
poi t of the wreck of the Anglo-Saxon had as yet been made
to the Bawd of Trade, nor would any further particulars be
known until the arrivals,' the next mail. With regtrd to the
second question, as to whether government had refused per-
mission to erect Debars fog trumpet on Cape Race, be led
to st it* that last year the Associated Prose of New York had
roads a proposal to erect the trumpet, but it was not
thought desirable by the colonial overnment that a foreign
compay should occupy a site within British territory. The
Board of Trade had, however, urged upon the steerihi
sisowners the necessity of erecting some adequate fog '
on so important a point as Cape Race, and bad also ea led
the ttention of the whole shipping interest of the ocestry
to its importance. Government had the power of erecting
fog noels and of imposing a toll for their support, but the
steamship owners had mid that although they should like to
have such a signal erected they should not like to have to
tear the expense, and the habit of the government was
to waive the right and consult the wishes of
the parties priocipolly concerned. With regard to
the particular fog signal in queatioo, it wee sot
certain that it was of a good description, and it was most
important that if a signal were put up it should be of •
kind that could be relied on. A bad one would only have
the effect of tempting ships to go too near the land wins it
might not be possible to hear the signal, and the result
would be their going on shore. Very lately • steam ship

port from the United States Lighthouse Board respecting

was worth a trial ; but did not go the length of saying that
it had been sufficiently proved to be on so important
a point as Oape Rasa

GAUIIBALDI.

A Turin letter in the Diseresnberg Correspondent
stales that a few days ago a party of 25 Englishmen arrived
at Owen to pay their respects to Garibaldi. The latter
thenked them very warmly for that proof of their sym-
pathy, but at the same time expressed his regret at only
being able to receive two of the party, the state of his
health still requiring repose.
"Since 1859, 150 steamers have touched at the island of
Capron, where formerly no Teasel ever stopped, and more
than 16,000 persons have landed. Your Neapolitan vessels
beer the name of Garibaldi. The General is godfather
to 4,500 children, and 2,000 boys have received his
name. During the last three years he has received
presents of the value of 16,0004 r. The majority of them
are agricultural implements, chiefly from England. Dur-
ing the same period he has refused other gifts representing
a value of nearly one million. Garibaldi is honorary bur-
gess of 90 cities and towns, and honorary president of
120 associations. He has 21 swords of honour, of which
11 have been sent from abroad. Since 1859, 3,000 addresses
of devotedness have been sent to him.

" In consequence of the improvements introduced into the
cultivation of the land which he pommel at Capron, his
annual revenue from it now amounts to 3,000 fr. Originally
it was aimed nothing."

The consideration of the azaendmeate on this bill wee

Mr. SENTINCE repeated his objectiose, and moved the

word " persuasioa" to the end.
Mr. PAOKE supported the amendment, stating that if it
were not carried be should move another amendment pro-
viding that the Roman catholic chaplains should he paid by
voluntary contributions
Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment. The majority of
the home bad, be said, already decided that it was not
desirable to take from the juatices the power of renstinera..
big the chaplains.
After an observation from Mr. Maguire and Mr. Newde-
gate respectively, the amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. HENLEY proposed certain ameodme its, the object
of which was to provide that ministers of religion oa

THE MURDER BY A SAILOR IR LIVIRPOOL —ID
further investigations which took place yeeterday before
the Liverpool coroner and borough manietrates, a young
Spanish sailor named Jos, of the brig Papita, was clearly
identified as the man who stabbed Harrison and Cohen,
two English sailors. in Oldhall-street, on Tuesday night.
Antonio Barges and his wife, who keep a boardinghouse
near the scene of the murder, stated that the prisoner came
into their house shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday night,
and said that be had had a row with three English men in
Oldhallotrest, and that is self•defence he had stabbed two
of them. Mrs. Cook, the wife of a stationer in Oldhall•
street, saw the quarrel between the prisoner and the three
pagiMh maims. She identified the prisoner as having a
knee in his band, as she vainly tried to hold him as be was
running away. The prisoner was remanded in both court..
Cohen, °Deo( the men stabbed, still survives, but yesterday
he was in a most critical condition, and it is almost ins.
possible for hint to survive the wend he has received.

RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN
PARLIAMENT.

Yesterday, in Earl Donoughmore's committee,
the bill for the amalgamation of the North Fasters any
Stockton and Darlington Railways was passed. Mr. Cal-
vert, Q.C., then opened the ma* of the West Hartlepool
Railway Company at great length, from which it appeared
that the aggregate amount which the company have been
authoriesd to raise as capital is 2,100,0004, and by borrowing
700,0001., making together 2,810,0004, and that the trot.
pany now are liable to what are called "primary charges
to the amount of 726.0004, in addition to which tbrs
hate
a debenture stock and debt amounting to 2,699,1621. and •
preferential and ordinary capital of 527,7501., making a
total of 3,952.9671. The main object of the company is to
confirm, in contravention of their acts of parliament and of
the standing orders, the large excess in loan and sham
capital created beyond their powers by legalising the deben-
ture debt, authorising the raising of 726.0001. to pay off
some amounting to that figure, and to borrow on mort-
gage 1,40.0004, to pay off arrears of interest and
divers debt' and liabilities amounting to 292,2201.
The Chairman : Then your company comes to us to legalise
this large amount of overdrawn debenture debt, crested in
mew of the company's powers, to legalise stock admittedly
raised illegally, and to enable von to borrow further money.
It seems a strange propositioo. —Mr. Calvert : Yes, to
enable os to fulfil outstanding obligations to creditors, to
defray the expenses of authorised work now incomplete or
to be completed, and for other porpoes. After some dis-
cussion the committee intimated that they would adjourn
natil thin daefor the purpose of taking evidence. In the Duke
of Richmond's committee on the proposed extension of the
Midland Railway from Bedford into London, the cumulative
evidence from local sources taken in the Commons was dis-
pensed with, end that of Mr. Allport, general mnnager of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire, relative to the desirability
of an additional northern line of ingress into London occu-
pied the committee. The proceedings of Mr. Hansard's
committee on the Great North of Scotland Railway consieted
of • cootinued discussion of the clauses. The we of the
Mr Inky and Drayton extension of the North Staffordshire
Railway was concluded, and Mr. Merewether opened the
opposition. The hearing of the Great Eastern's March to
Spalding extension was finished, together with that of the
Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds in thews committees, and
Sir C. Fox followed Mr. Turner with engineering evidesos
in favour of the proposed new line to Brighton.

hew the peril is peak and it seems that this is owing
to the friendly advice of the British Lega-
tion. At the first news of these events we
had • kind of panto, as is always the case
when the swot dimensions of a peril just
passed through are not yet realised ; some members
di the Assembly have even gone to the extent of
proposing the formation of committees for the
special investigation of such plots and the pu-
nishment of the offenders ; but the Assembly
have rejected all extra-legai measures, leafing
the established tribunals to dispense justice.
Our new ministry go on very well up to this day.
Tranquillity and order are prevailing in the:capital.
and in the provinces ; the condition of the army Is
not so bad as it was, and measures are in contem-
plation for making some radical improvnients
in its organisation. What has mostly occupied the
attention of the new ministry is the financial ques-
tion. The Assembly has ratified the national
loan of 6,000,000 drachmas, of which the National
Bank has already taken 5011,000 drachmas and it is
I hoped that the whole amount will now soon'be taken.
It is, moreover, hoped that the taxes will now
begin to be collected with some regularity ; and all
this will give some relief to the exchequer, which
haabeen in great stress of late. Measures of eco-
nomy and retrenchment have also been adopted,
such as to effect a yearly saving of some millions of
drachmas. Among other items of economy I may
point out the suppression of all embassies abroad
except the lNation in Constantinople. It is pro-
posed to send a diplomatic agent to Brussels, and
to accredit him to all the Western governments.
There is also some talk of placing Greek interests
abroad under the protection of the Bel-
gian embassies. But the great question
and the most serious difficulty is the discovery
of • King, as without the presence of
such a centre we may always run the risk of
seeing unforeseen complications darken our pro-
spects ; Greece will be in a state of revolution as
long as she is without a king at her head. But
where is she to find one i After the election of
Prince Alfred, this question becomes more difficult
than ever. The Greeks cannot elect another king,
and run the chance of having another refusal ; nor
can they find out the right man among the possible
candidates for their vacant throne. It is only the
great powers that can and ought to do this for
Greece. It is to England especially that people
look for the solution of this difficulty ; and it
is to be hoped that the country may not be
allowed to remain much longer in this state of
suspense.

in coaninion with the interment of the remaias of the
late Dr. Leepiogwell took place this day at the cemetery
neighbouring Parker's-piece, and sever mince its opening
hove so many persons bean assembled at the IMO time
within it. precincts. Thousands of persom were present,
and though some of them were attracted by e knowledge'
that the rifle corps of Cambridge would be present, and that
military honours would be mid to the remains of the
lamented deceased, it ia not too much to say that the highs'.
feeling of true :egret actuated the vast majority. Dr.
Lespivgwell bad entered moat eothuenatkally into
the patriotic volunteer movement, had taken an
active part is the formation and contributed greatly
to the efficiency of the Eighth Cambridgeshire (Town)
rifle corps, in which, up to his decease, he held the post of
captain. Hence the military display. The two Cambridge
corps resolved to pay the last mark of respect to the de-
caused, end, as the funereal cortege woad have to pee
Parker's-piece as route to the cemetery, they assembled
there, under the command of Captain Barlow, Clay, and
Claydoo, accompanied by the hand al the joint corm, in all
1:30 strong. and wearing the military Maim& of mourning.
The firing party alone carried their rifles. On the arrival
of the funeral procession at this spot the corps fell in, and
preceded it to the cemetery, the band playing the " Dead
March" in Sant. At the doors of the cemetery chapel the
a was received by the Rev. J. G. Howes, incumbent
cofr.
Mary-the Less, and the A. V. Hadley, fellow
and tutor of St. John's College, the letter the chaplain of

service, the Leeson being read most impressively by Mr.
Hadley. On the coffin lay the military scoontremente of
the deceased. The mourners were the Masten of Christ's

MR. THACKERA rs LAST ILLNESS.

As there are many stories in circulation respect-
ing the circumstances which immediately preceded
Mr. Thackeray's death, the following facts, which
were obligingly given us by one of his most intimate
personal friends, may not prove uninteresting. It
appears that although generally enjoying good
health, he was at intervals subject to severe spasms
of the stomach, which caused violent retching and
nausea, and left him in a state of utter prostration
often for hours after the first violence of the attack had
passed away. On the night of his death, his mother,
who slept overhead, heard him get up and walk
about his room, but was not alarmed, as this was
a habit with her son when he felt any symptoms of
an attack coming on. In the morning his valet
came into Mr. Thackeray's bedroom as usual, and
saw him lying on his back quite still, with his arms
spread over the coverlet, but he took no notice, as
ho alio was accustomed to see his master
thus after one of his stomach attacks. He
brought some coffee and set it down beside the bed,
and it was only when he returned after an interval
and found that the cup had not been tasted, that a
sudden alarm seized him, and he discovered that
his master was dead. Dir. Thackeray had in fact
been seized when his mother heard him get up in
the night and walk about the room, and the violence
of the attack, it is supposed, brought on the
effusion on the brain, which, as the poet-mortem
examination showed, was the immediate cause of
death. Mr. Joseph Durham, the eminent sculptor,
has undertaken to preserve the likeness of his de-
ceased friend in a marble bust, which he means to
present to the Garrick Club.

THE NHW STRUT IN SOUTHWARK. —To-morrow
Londoners will receive a boon by the opening of the new
thoroughfare which is to unite the borough of Southwark
with the Bleckfriers.read, thus leading, by the continua-
tion of Btandoedetreet, in an almost direct line to the
Waterloo patine. The first day of the new year has been
well chosen for the ceremony of inaugurating so important
• metropolitan iroprovemen. The street is at present •
here roadway, with broken land, rough timber (anon and
mounds of earth end bricks on either side. For some time
the new street hes been open as far as the narrow tunings

and scaffold poles bring the traveller to a halt, and compel
him to diverge northward. All them obstacles are to be
removed to-morrow, when the eseeermay of proclaiming the
street open is to be performed by Mr. Thwaites, chairmen
of the Metropolitan Board. The gentlemen composing that
body will assemble at their Odom in Spring-gardeos, and,
with a select, party el Aprons whom they have invitd, will
proceed to inspect the works connected with the sew
thoroughfare. Then Include provision against future re.

NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.

ffi " RAILWAYMITROTLITAIT EXTENSIONS'

AND "INNER CIRCLE."

• The " Metropolitan Railway Company" propose
two extensions of their system—a line, upon the
east, from Finsbury-circus to Tower-hill, and a
line, upon the wait, from Paddington, through
Bayswater, to Notting-hill, and from thence to
Alfred-plate, Bromptun, in front of the South
Kensington Museum. It has been already observed
of both these extensions that they effect no junc-
tions with any other hues of railway, and that
they therefore can bring no goods traffic from other
;nes upon the Metropolitan system. They are
1..1th laid out to pass through very valuable pro-
rty, especially the extension on the west ; and
refore they will both have to be made at gnat
• Tower-hill is not a place of great resort from

her to reach Brampton from the Bank of Eng-
