STEAM FIRE ENOINE.—The prevalence and pro-
gress of destructive fires in America iv, it may not be
geitirally known, diminished very much by the use and
application of what is known there as the steam fire engine.
In its form it is somewhat similar to a locomotive, throws
upwards of a 200 feet jet, and about 2,000 barrels in an
hour, in from one to six streams of water. The machine
may be put in operation in five minutes, requiring four
men and four horses, and is calculated, it is sant, to do as
much as six of the ordinary hand engines. At a fire in
May last, at Cincinnati, of a large brewery, the engine dis-
charged a cataract of 15,000 barrels of water in eight hours.
and nothing but this could have saved the entire square in
which the brewery was from destruction.

FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES AT WlND-
son.—On Friday afternoon, a stranger, of respectable ap-
pearance and good address, supported on crutches, entered
the shop of Mr. Hetchscher' jeweller, Themes-street, and
intimated a desire to purchase a silver watch and guard.
Several watches were handed to him, and he selected one
with a silver guard, for which he agreed to pay ten-
dering in payment an apparently well-worn, soiled, and
rather ragged 101. note of the Bank of England. Mr.
Hetchscher delivered the watch, gave the stranger 71. in
change, and the latter immediately ordered a cab, in which
he was driven to the Slough station on the Great IVestern
Railway, where he took a second class ticket for London.
On Saturday morning, Mr. Iletchscher, suspecting the
I note was not exactly correct, hastened to London, where
he soon ascertained at the Bank that the apparently old and
' worn-out note was a recent forgery, and that others of a
similar Lind had lately been uttered.
TILE LATE SIR HENRY ONSLOW, BART.—This
baronet died a few days since at Leamington, in the 70th

command on occasion of D.,rican's victory at Camperdown.
Sir Henry was formerly an active officer in the Royal
Artillery. This family is a branch of the Earl of Ons-

Arthur Onslow, Speaker of the House of Commons. The
deceased is succeeded by his son Henry, born 1309.
