THE BALTIC FLEET.

A squadron of the British fleet, eighteen strong,
entered the Great Belt early on the 25th ult. On
Monday last the fleet arrived off Kiel, when letters
and despatches were landed for England, and an
abundant supply of coal was in readiness. Early on
Wednesday the fleet sailed from Kiel for Kjoge Bay,
near Copenhagen.
On Monday the Miranda returned to Copenhagen,
having reconnoitred as far as Revel.
The British Ambassador at Berlin sent on the
25th a telegraphic message, vid Hamburg, directing
Admiral Napier, now that war is declared, to com-
mence operations. It is said that the first point of
attack will be the isle of Ahland.
At Copenhagen the King of Denmark refused to
see Admiral Napier, on a plea of ill health, but, in
reality, from an indisposition to offend the Russian
party there.
Two more ships have been despatched from Ports-
mouth, to make up the fleet originally intended for
the Baltic. These are the Cesar, 01, screw, Captain
Robb, and the Conflict, 8, screw, Captain John
Foote.

LAST NIGHT A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE broke out at
Hungerford-ball, near the Strand, which raged with
much violence from seven to eight o'clock. The ball
has recently been opened for a public exhibition, and
suffered considerable damage before the flames could
be mastered. Her Majesty passed along the Strand
while the conflagration was at its highest. Curiously
enough, on the night of the Queen's last visit to the
Lyceum Theatre another extensive fire occurred—
that at Mr. Bielefeld's manufactory in North Wel-
lington-street.
