by, who observed a strong light over the fanlight of the
shop door. He immcdiately gave the alarm, and arouse d
the inmates, who had only just retired to rat, but the
flames spread with such rapidity that they bad only time to
make their escape in their night clothes before the whole of
the premises were in one mass of flame. Mounted expresses
bad in the meantime been despa.ched for the brigade
engines, but before any of them could arrive •
powerful engine, kept by subecnption in Camden-row,
had been brought to the spot, and with the aid of a plen-
tiful supply of water had been enabled to confine the fire to
the rremises in which it had broken out. By 11 o'clock
the brigade engines from the Holborn and Chandosetrcet
stations bad arrived, at which time the dames had feat
taken hold of the back portion of Mr. Gordon's premises,
tobacconist. All hope of saving Mr. Dean's premises being at
an end, the firemen directed their attention to the houses on
either side, and by hall-past 11 the further progress of the
flames was arrested. The premises of Mr. Dean were com-
pletely gutted, and the whole of the stock and furniture
consumed. The premises of Mr. Gordon were also much
damaged by fire and water. The canoe of the fire is attri-
buted to an escape of gas in the shop. Mr. Dean is partly
insured.

A SOUTHERN WAY OF CLINCHING AN ARGUMENT.
—A few days ago a number of gentlemen, promiscuously
thrown together in a railway train proceeding from Liver-
pool to Manchester, found that one of their number was •
native of the Coofederate States of America. A converse-
tins very naturally arose upon the struggle now existing in
America, and quite as naturally changed to an argument
about negro slavery. The Confederate gentleman strongly
defended the institution, and attempted to justify it, mainly
on scriptural grounds. His chief opponent wss • Man-
chester gentleman, who so roused the anger of the other
that it became quite uncontrollable. To the amazement of
the rest of the company the Southerner seized the Man-
chester man by the throat, and seemed disposed to settle
the argument by strangling him. This of course was not
allowed, and they were soon separated. When the Ameri-
can's temper had cooled • little the Manchester gentleman
told him that he appeared to have forgotten that he was not
now in a dare state, but in a land where every man was
allowed freely to express his opinions, and would be pro-
tected whilst so doing by the law. He at the same time
stated his intention of giving the other into the custody of
• policeman for the assault. Upon this intimation their
fellow-passengers again interfered, and it was ultimately
arranged that the ' belligerent " Southerner should be
excused on payment of a sovereign to the fund for the relief
of the distress in the manufacturing districts—a penalty
which he willingly consented to pay, when he saw the con-
sequences to which he had exposed himself by his display of
temper.
LIFEBOAT SERVICES. —PADBTow, SUNDAY NIOHT.
—This morning, in • very heavy sea, and with the wind
blowing strong from the west, the sloop Loftus, bound
from Plymouth to Padstow, split her mainsail when entering
this harbour and was obliged to anchor in Hell Bay. She was
discovered in this dangerous position about 3 o'clock, when
the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed
at this place, was immediately launched, and pre siisled
off to her amistance, and succeeded in rescuing her crew.
Very woo afterwards the sloop parted from heranchore, and
went on shore. Within the last few years this lifeboat has
been the means of rescuing the crews of the following
wrecked vessels : Brigantine Gonsalve. of Nantes, 7 ; brig-
antine Nugget, of Bideford, 5 i schooner Haberdine, of
Teignmouth, 4 ; Ethooner Frederick William, of Ipswich, 5;
and the crew of the sloop Loftus.
SUPERABUNDANCE OF MEN.—There is, according
to the census, an sloe. of 733,25 R males over females in
the United Siete'. This fact is noteworthy and ought to
quiet the apprehensions of those who feared and
war would
cause an undue preponderance of women after peso) was
declared. No matter how bloody the war may be, or how
long it lasts, it cannot make away with three-quarters of a 1.-:i.
million of lives. The waste of life may make the sexes
