inspector and one of the shipwright. has tensed an impor-
tant minute from the Captain Superintendent, wherein he
threatens to recommend to the Admiralty the abutting up
the dockyard if such disputes are at all continued (!). H.
must have sadly misoonosived the nature of the squabble
to have been induced to introduce such • subject in his
minute.

FIRE IN

Thunder night a fip

occurred at beetle, which resulted in the ihnit total de-
struction of the wind and stoma still, the wpm of Mr.
Thomas Bollard, situated in Bootle-km, opfeehe the In-
dustrial Schools. Smoke was seen te knee bum sue of the
upper rooms of the windmill, about Agile Walla w the
night in question, and beton nine o'clesk She neon of the
Liverpool fire brigade, under the any et Impeder
Hewitt, and the West of England and Nand& Bed= In-
surance Companies, were on the spot. By that time the
fire bad made considerable progress, the Enna shooting
forth from the windows and other parts of the building
with such force as to render it comparatively futile to at-
tempt to save the building. The efforts of the brigade were I
then directed to prevent the spread of the fire to the adjoin- I
ing building and cottages, and very fortunately the wind
was blowing in the contrary direction, or most probably
the entire would have been destroyed. When the windmill
was being consumed, all attempts to stay the ravages of the
fire in that direction having failed, the fire brigade per-
severed most courageously in their endeavours to save the
machinery of the steam mill, and after much difficulty were
ancensiul. About half-put ten the fire was got under, and
all further danger was at an end. The windmill was com-
pletely destroyed, and • great portion of its contents, the
only part of the premises saved being the engine-house end
machinery, which is damaged to a considerable extent. The
mill was one of the largest in the neighbourhood, and
worked eleven pair of stones. Nothing is known of the
origin of the fire. The total lees must be very considerable,
and is only covered by insurance to the amount of 5,0001.
The mill was burned down about ?3 years ago.—Lirerpool
Chronicle.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlTER.—Yeater-
day Mr. Baker held an inquest on the body of Frederick
Allcock, aged 36, one of the three unfortunate persons who
were drowned an the 28th ult., in consequence of the skiff
in which they were erasing the river being run down at
Deptford by the screw-steamer Alar. The jury found •
verdict of " Accidental death."
PARLIAMENTARY PAPER6.—Frequent inquiries
having been made with respect to the distribution of Par-
liamentary papers amongst the different Literary, Scientific,
and Mechanics' Institutions, the readers of the Journal are
informed that the resolutions of the Parliamentary Com-
mittee which sat last year on this subject, cannot be carried
into effect until they have received %the sanction of the
House of Commons. Owing to the illness of Mr. Tufnell,
the chairman of the committee, the discussion on the ritsoln-
Dons was necessarily pestpmed, but the Council have autho-
rity to state that it is Mr. Tufaell'a intention to take the
earliest opportunity, on the meeting of Parliament, to bring
forward the resolutions of the committee; and, as they
were adopted unanimously, it is hoped that the house will
not hesitate to sanction them. When thighs' been done, the
committee which must then be appointed will proceed with-
out delay to decide upon the distribution of Parliamentary
papers. —Journal of the Society of Art..

VISIT OF THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY TO THE

MANCHESTER INDUSTRIAL AND RAOOID SCHOOLS.—On
Thursday last his lordship was conducted over this esta-
blishment by the Rev. Canon Clifton, Chairman of Com-
mittee; John Taylor, Esq., Hon. Secretary, and other
friends of the Institution. His lordship carefully inspected
the work-rooms, schools, printing-office, Sc., and conversed
with several of the children for some time with great kind-
ness and affaility. His lordship seemed to be much struck
with the healthy and comfortable appearance of the chil-
dren, and the general arrangement of the establishment.
The visit occupied about an hour and was concluded by a
most appropriate address to the assembled school, in which
his lordship spoke with great feeling end affection, and was
vociferously cheered by the children. On his departure his
lordship left the following remarks in the visitor's book :
t' Extremely delighted by the appearance and manner of
the children, by the manifest care and discipline exercised
in the school, by the locality in which it is situated, and by
all that I saw sad heard, I heartily desire that many such
schools be established hers and elsewhere. SHAFTES-
