FIRE AT TILE LOW-MILLS, KEN-
DAL.—KENDAL, JUNE 10.—A disastrous fire occurred last
night at the mill of Messrs. John Ireland and Co., woollen
and linsey manufacturers, known as the Low-mills, situate
on the river Ken, about half a mile south of this town. The
premises consist of two separate mills, adjoining each other,
one of the buildings being in the occupation of Mr. Ireland,
and the other, at the back of the former, being occupied by
Messrs. Caleb, Metcalf, and Son, also extensive manufac-
turers of limeys, &e. The fire broha out in Mr. Ireland's
mill, about seven o'clock p.m., in the upper story, and such
was the rapidity of the flames that before the engines, three
in number, could be got down to the spot, it was manifest
that nothing could save the mill where the fire originated.
In a short tune the building, which consists of three stories,
and has a considerable frontage, was in a white glow of fire,
and the roof fell in, carrying with it the flours and the
whole of the machinery to the bottom. Nothing remained
but to save the portion of the premises occupied by the
Messrs. Metcalf, which, in consequence of its being diverted
from the mill by a double wall,w as, but not without great diffi-
culty effected. The mill was not at work when the fire broke
out, it being the principal Whitsuntide holiday. The
we believe, was insured to the extent of 3,0001. A large
body of workpcople will be thrown out of employment by
this disastrous occurrence. Mr. John Ireland is the most
extensive exhibitor among the Kendal contributions to the
Great Exhibition in Class 12, (woollens and worsted). The
exertion of the townspeople of all classes in assisting to ex-
tingnish the fire was most praiseworthy.
POSTAGE OP BOOKS, &c.—By a Treasury warrant
dated the 2nd of June inst., it is ordered that all
printed books, magazines, reviews, pamphlets, &c., whe-
ther British, colonial, or foreign, may be transmitted
Cpost between any part of the United Kingdom and
nada, or the lonian Islands, subject to the follow-
ing rates of postage, via., if not exceeding 41b. in
weight, fel. ; if net exceeding llb., le.; if not exceeding 21b.,
2s. ; if not exceeding 31b., 3s. ; if above 31b., an additional rate
of ls. No packet is to contain more than one printed book,
&c., and is not to exceed in length, or breadth, or width, or
depth 24 inches. The postage is to be prepaid by postage
stamps. If posted in Canada or the lonian Isles the postage
to be prepaid either by money or stamps. All packets to
be sent in covers open at the ends or sides, and no writing
except the address to be permitted upon them, or in the
contents thereof. Offioere of the postoffice to have power
to delay the transmission 24 hours, or until the despatch of
the mad next after that by which the packet ought other-
wise to have been forwarded. Printed votes and proceed-
ings of parliament, or of colonial legislatures, and such pub-
lications as pass under the newspaper privilege, are ex-
empted from these regulations, and nothing in the orderte
to extend to packets sent through France, or any foreign
country to which a transit rate of postage would be payable
thereon, nor to any packets sent by private ships.
PAVUGE MONEY BETWEEN THE CAPE AND Ego-.
LAND.—We suspect that the Screw Steam Company would
find their advantage in taking second cabin passengers at a
lower rate than at present, providing for them a less lux.
urious table than that of their cabin guests; if a diet •
little superior to that supplied the ship's company, with the
addition of fresh meat one or twice a week, were given to
theullwere who would willingly pay 251. for the trip, It is
that the greater number who would avad
eLrar4lo shim ships, particularly when the larger
mole sane to be gamed on the line would be much more
W:l4to dr mapaap than the few who will pay the
. lOW dinged ; the experience of the directors at
beim at to the wake of passengers carried on other hue,
end on railroads at high and low fares, will no doubt lead
