ANOTHER CHURCH DESTROYED IIY FIRE.—We
regret to be called upon to record the destruction by fire,
of the parish church of St. Hilary, Cornwall, situated about
ate miles eastward of Penzance, on the left of the Helaton-
road. The conflagration was first observed about three
o'clock on Saturday morning, ani at that time had made
very considerable 'progress, for at four o'clock or a quarter
past, the whole of the roof had fallen in. Of course in a
district of which the population is so scattered, it was im-
possible to summon immediately more than a compara-
tively limited number of persons to the scene, in fact there
were not more than between thirty and forty persona pre-
sent. They only appear however to have been able to look
on the scene of destruction with a melancholy sorrow that
they could do nothing to stay the rage of the conflagration,
or had arrived too late for the purpose. Everything
i within the church has been consumed, but we have reason
to believe that it will be rebuilt in a style in many respects
superior to that of the now ruined edifice.

FALL OF A CLIURCII STEE£LE.—On Wednesday
night week, about half-past nine o'clock, the steeple of
East Kcal Church—which has, fur a long time past, been
in a very dilapidated state, from old age and decay—fell,
with a tremendous crash, on the north side, forcing the
earth up into an embankment td the height of three or four
feet ; and, by the top alighting in a singular manner in its
descent, almost perpendicularly, a great portion of it is
embedded some feet in the ground. The body of the
church, which is also fast decaying, has been considerably
shaken by the fell, and has had to be shored up, and the
whole of the edifice, it so expected, will hare to be pulled
down, and divine service be entirely suspended. The fine
peal of bells contained in the steeple, it was feared was en-
tirely demolished, but four of the six have been extricated
in a perfect *Lite, except the loss of the fastenings on the
hips of some of them. Some workmen, who were employed
in repairing the steeple, by inserting additional ties to the
straeture, had only left the building three hours previously
to the occurrence, and were to have resumed their work on
the day followiag.—LinestessAirs Chnxikk.
