state that this gentleman lies ill, with scarcely any hope of

MEETING OF THE BAR.—A very DUMeTOIIIII meet-
ing of the bar, called by the Attorney -General, pursuant to
a requisition presented to him, was held yesterday. in the
Middle Temple-hall, in reference to the unpleasant collision
which occurred a short time since between two of her Ma-
jesty) a counsel, in the court of the Vice-Chancellor of Eng-
land. Certain resolutions were unanimously agreed upon,
which, as they were meant merely to express the menu of
the profession in respect of the conduct of two of its mem-
bers, we deem ourselves precluded front publishing or com-
menting upon. It can scarcely be considered objectionable,
however, to state that Mr. C. P. Cooper, one of the gentle.
men refeireffto, expressed his regret for having authorised
the publication of • pamphlet containing a statement of
what occurred, and that Mr. Bethel', the other gentleman
alluded to, apologised to the profession for certain expressions
used by him publicly in court on the occasion referred to.—

FRENCH METHOD OF SAVING CORN.—The Sub-
Prefect of the Basses PyrenEes (M. Julien), during the
absence of the prefect, has just addressed a circular to the
majors of that department, from which we borrow the

ing, and as there may be much rain, it may not be amiss to
describe the method of sari corn recommended by M.
Dombaste in the Agricultural Calendar. It is as follows :
In rainy weather make up the wheat in small ricks before
storing it in the barn, and adopt the following method
In the highest and driest part of your field place a single
sheaf, bent double, the ears resting on the extremities;
let a man, assisted by six or seven others, construct
his rick upon this sheaf, placing all the other, with
their earn resting upon the bent sheaf. When the
first row of concentric sheaves has been arranged, let
the second be placed upon it as evenly u possible; and
when the rick has reached the height of a metre (three
feet) let the central ends be crossed over one another, so as
to diminish the circumference to the form of a cone. When
the rick has reached the height of 14 feet (1 metre, 65
centimetres), let it terminate in an apex, and cover this
with • sheaf fastened at the extremity, so as to be fit to
form a kind of cap for the cone, the cars depending, and the
roots forming a spiral extremity. The advantage of this
method is, that the thickness of the ears causes the straws
to slope outwards, and thus enables the builder of the risk
to give it the bee-hive shape without difficulty. It is scarcely
necessary to say that this mode renders it impervious to
rain. On the return of settled weather, the small ricks
may be converted into larger, or the whole may be stored
into the barn. This method is absolutely necessary when
the corn is cut before it is fully ripe.
ACCIDENT ON THE DUNDEE AND PERTH RAIL-
WI.T.—A fatal accident occurred on this line of railway
on Thursday. While the down train from Perth was ap-
proaching Dundee, it was thrown off the rails beyond Inver.
gowrie, when one passenger, Mr. Cargill, of Arbroath, was
killed on the epot, and a number °tethers severely mutilated.
The sufferers were immediately removed to the infirmary,
where every attention was paid to them.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE BLUE BOAR'S HEAD,
LONG-ACltr..—This zooming between three and four, the
Blue Boar's Read Tavern, 114, Long-acre, the prope;tl of '
Mr. Drinkwater, was discovered to be on fire. Mr. Drink-
water and family effected an escape by getting through the
roof, and paning along the coping to an adjoining house.
The engines of the London Brigade, County, and West of
England companies were all at the sane of conflagration in
less than twenty minutes alter the first discovery was made,
and copious streams of water were thrown upon the blazing
pile. Notwithstanding, the work of destruction continued, i
the flames extending from the bottom to the top of
the premiss, esumaing in their progress • large
quantity of spirits, and the whole of the furni-
ture and wearing apparel of the residents. At one
period the destruction of the adjoining houses appeared cer-
tain, and the inmates commenced removing their goods to a
more distant place for safety. Fortunately, however, the
firemen, by dint of great perseverance' succeeded in stopping
the flames from extending beyond the premises in which the
fire originated. The damage dons is vary considerable, and,
besides the destruction et Mr. Driakwester's p
lodger in the home has also lost about 2001. worth7toL a
goods,
which was uninsured. Two of the firemen, we regret to
say, wereseverely injured.
