THE GREAT FIRE AT DOCIZZAD.

LATEST PARTICULARS.—(TITIS DAY.)
This fire is still far from being extinguiehed, and
the gleam floating engine and several of Shand and Mason's
lead Amman are at fall work. Mr. Woollett of
the Royal, Mr. Hawes, of the North British and
Mercantile, end Mr. Roberts, the ameepar, are beady
employed in directing several gangs of men in removing
from the ruins tons weight of jute and seeds. Barges are
moored alongside of the wharf, and as fest as they are filled
with seeds and peas they are sent away and the contents
despatched to kilns to be dried. The goods already
rescued will amount to several thousand pomade
sterling. Out of the immense stock of sugar in
the warehouses, it is faired that very little, if any, n•na be
saved. It is running in a liquid states down the Sewer!, and
finding its way into the Thames ; the water is discoloured as
far down as Greenwich. The firemen declare that they
have not had such a " stiff " job since the barnio; of the
wharves in Tooley-strest. There seems every proba-
bility of the fire being entirely extioguislatd
in the course of another day, unless another
explosion of saltpetre should take place. Every pre Anti, r

DOUBLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Late on Friday night a shocking tragedy n
acted in the village of Sydow, about four rai:C.4 fee.
Leicester. The perpetrator is named Timothy Ilsum, aged
28, a wheelwright, and his victims are his wife, Jane %mu,
and his only daughter, 11 mouth. old. About 11 o'clock
on Friday night the murderer's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jane
Shelton, was asleep in a room adjoining to thst in which
Baum and his wife and child were sleeping, when wo„,
disturbed by the cries of the child. On going tow..r tt •
bedroom she met Baum with a bloody knife L.
his hand. She asked him the cause of it, but be reel.
no reply, and at came made an attempt to rut h.
throat, but was frustrated, as the weapon was dashed out
of his hand by Mrs. Shelton. He then rushed downstiirr.
but returned in a few minutes with the knifebor in hii
band, and was feeling as if in search of the carv!upanifi,
which, however, did not happen to be there. With great
presence of mind Mrs. Shelton took the knifebox out et her
hand, seized him, and dragged him into a bedroom, wham
she pushed him into • chair and cried out "Murder !, This
brought to her assistance a youth named Tae.,, who
slept in an adjoining room, and be speedily gave the alart,
to the gieighbours, and two men were quickly on the spot.
Mrs. Shelton then entered her daughter's bedroom, ani
found her lying in bed with a stab in her throat, quite
dead, and her child at her side, also with its throat cut ham
ear to ear. The unfortunate woman was near her cot hue.

remanded till Wednesday.

SOLDIERS' WIVES AT ALDERSHOTT.—Thu fint
annual report of the Association for providing Lodgings fir
tiokhere Wives and Families at Aldershott has jut been
issued. The object of the emaciation is to provide lodglugs
at • cheap, r rate than they could be obtained by the or
means, and, owing to the high rents at Aldershot:, it
may be considered most valuable for the benefit of the
married soldier. When the former report was issued only
40 lodgings were available in that rata of Aldershott teed
North-lane, or New-town, but in January the committee
took three house in Albek-street, West-end, at a rent of
6h/, per annum, including rates, repairs, am, by which 17
lodgings were added to the others, with the rents at the
low figure of is 10d. to 2s. 2d. per week for each room,
partly furnished. Ninety-nine soldiers' wives and
children have been benefitted by the lodgings since these
were opened, and all the tenants continue to esprees th,ir
satisfaction with the quarters provided for them. There is
a rule most rigidly adhered to by the committee, which
excludes from the benefits of the association the wives of
soldiers married without leave, but if • suMcient number of
women married with leave do not apply for the lodging,
then those married without leave who can obtain mom.
maculation' from their commanding officer are admitted.
A NEW ZEALAND SAW TEL S PHILOSOPHY...-Wo
give the remits of • conversation with one of these men,
omitting the leading questions we addressed to him :—" I
have now been knocking about in these colonies for eleven
yeara. I consider myself better off here than at home. In the
old country your master will turn you off for a soar look,
and when you have once got • bed name it will go hard
with you to find another plane. Here I am es good as my
master, and be knows it : I can turn him off when I choose,
and find as good • place to-morrow. I can make as much
in a day here es I could do in a week in England. I have
saved no money ; what's the me! I once made 230/. at the
diggings in Australis, went down to Melbourne and spent
it like • peacoats. Ali l it is a pleasant thing being a
gentleman ; I should like to have nothing else to do. I
wore aa good a coat as any of your officer fellows, and spent
my money quite as freely. It lasted MO five months ; and
it is • comfort to me that I never met a poor pal without
standing treat. I met an old chum bound for New Zeo•
land, and came down here with him for a lark. When I
have made • little money, I go down to Auckland and
spend it like a gentleman. It is not worth while going
there with lose than 60!.; that lasts me about • fortnight.
Being a topsawyer at the top of my profusion, you know,
I can make that sum in six weeks. I thus work like a
man for nine months of the year, sad live the other three
like a gentleman. If I meet my muter in town, I look
him fairly in the face ; why shouldn't I! Aint I u good
sa he? I owe him nothing, and he owes me nothing ; I
have done my work and he Lea paid me for it, so there's
an end of the matter. What should I do if I were sick?
Why go to the hospital to be sure. But I never have been
sick, and don't mean to be; it is not in our line. It
wouldn't pay cm no amount. Oh, yes, I auppoes I shall
dirD:4llB day, but then I won't make • long job of it. There
will be no °session to call the doctor or mood for the nurse.
I'll be crushed by • tree, or drowned in the river, the same
as other sawyers. Neither my father nor my grandfather
died in their beds, and I don't expect to either. When I
die my oomradee will dig a bole and bury me beneath some
tall kawi tree, and the world will jog on es before. I
don't bother my bead about the rest ; I suppose I shall
fare se well as others. I have lots of poor relations in Eng-
land, but they have no claim on me. They never did any
thing for me. end why should I do anything for them! If
they want money, let them work for it, as I do ; the world
is wide enough for all. If they chaise to stay at home
and starve, that is their look out, not mine, lam not such
• fool as to be earning money for them. Besides I have
always been • friend of palm, and don't wish to have them
them quarrelling about my money when I em dead."—
