EXTENSIVE FIRE AT TIIE WEST-END.—Yester-
day morning about 2 o'clock a tire, attended with great
kmy of property. broke out iu a three-story pile of pre-
iu Mortimer-street, at the corner of Wells-street,
(lifwd.street. The lower floors were occupied by
Messrs. Fairchild, Mumford, and Bishop, builders; the
first-door by Mr. Lamb, a gold and silver chaser; and
the top doors by Mr. Burley, a cabinetmaker. Adjoin-
ing these premise. was a lofty dwelling-house, each floor
of which was occupied by lodgers. Owing to the large
quantity of inflammable articles in the different workshops
the times for a long time appeared to defy the exertions
of the firemen who were soon in attendance; by five
o'clock, however, the tire was extinguished, but not until
the whole of the workshops before alluded to were totally
destioyed. the contents inciudnig the men's working tools
were eonsumed, and the bark rooms of the private dwell-
ing house partially destroyed. The origin of the fire is
unix. wu.

KI aN Doi Pulses.—A t.trartv occurrence has
been reeorteti this morning by a British schooner, the
Marie Steal t, of Fowey, which has just arrived from (lir-
genti. The act sumurs somewhat of piracy on the high
seas. It seems, accenting ti the statement of the mate
nisi w (four in number) of the above-mentioned vessel,
that a lieu some 20 or 30 miles westward of earthagens
lust Wednesday week, two boats were observed ap-
proaching the schooner. On earning alongside, the crews
of these boats, fourteen men and • boy, boarded the
selesaier, red raid they wished to exelituige fruit for the
sulphur which funned part of the selmouties
ring.). The captain of the British vetewl was
ill in his cabin ; and the mate, who was in charge,
refrosal to exi hange, saying he did not want any fruit.
Upon this the Spaniards declined that they would have
the sulphur, and took upon themselves to open the hatches.
The mate interposed, and insisted upon replacing the
hetchas and seeing a vessel in sight -hoisted the British
eusigu. The Spaniards, however, by force mienieded in
hauling down the flag, and in so doing tore it. After
this y proceeded to plunder the ship. They took pot-
s-44w among other articles of some pork, a pigeon, a
lair of truwiters belonging to the mate, some matches,
soil two shirts trem me of the crew. The mate and
u w being outnumbered were iu fear of their liven, and
eouPt make no resistance. Moreover, the mate was
eventually compelled to surrender • little sulphur,
iu enie.r to satisfy the thieves. The Spaniards
remained um board the schooner about three hours,
nod soon after eight a.m. left. They again returned
later in the day, but by this time the crew of the
schooner had been able to make prep aratious fur their
ireeption. There were two old rusty guns onboard which
es it, fished out by the mate and loaded. On the arrival
of the Spanish boats within hailing distance, the mats nut
up the English ensign and said he would lire on them if
they tried to board again. tln seeing that the crew of the
'eremites were ready to reisive them, the pirates turned

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD.

The Union Company's Cape royal mail steam-
ship Cambrian, Captain G. F. Smart, arrived
at Plymouth on Saturday evening with 24
first class and 47 second clubs passengers, 32 sacks
of mails, 1,328 bales of wool, and 730 other
packages. Iler news dates from Natal, July 22 ;
Al roa, July 29 ; Cape Town, August 4 ; St.
Helena, August 12 ; Ascension, August 16 ; and
Madeira, August 30.
'the discovery of gold in confirmed by the later atvires
%filch reach us from the colony. The district is situated
on the borders of the Transvaal Republic and Portuguese
ri ttleinente, and has been named the Victoria diggings, in
honour of her Majesty. Each digger is charged a sove-
reign by the native chief to whom the land belongs, and
two Englishmen have been appointed by him to look after
the money. The leader of the that party of diggers
writes word that be has been joined by others, and that
they are all working successfully. Great excitement has
been caused by the discovery. and digging parties are being
organised thronghout the colony.
Captain Faulkner's Livingstone Expedition left Table
Bay. on August 2, in the Florence, a schooner of 75 tons,
for the Zambesi river, ei," Simon's Bay and Port Natal.
The goods of the expedition: consisted of some forty tons.
The Dutch Reformed Church in the colony was in a
difficulty. It was alleged that in its case the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council, in giving judgment on
the appeal eae in reference to the Rev. Mr. Burgers, bad
fallen into an error on a matter of fact as to the points on
which the appeal was made. A now reference home
was thus determined upon, Sir Roundell Palmer, the
leading counsel employed by the Church had, however,
sent out hi. " opinion that it mattered nothing whether
the Judicial Committee did or did not err on the grounds
referredto, the question could not now be even ruined, and
the judgment deelanng the Rev. Mr. Burgers a member
and minister of the Dutch Reformed Church was irrever-
sible. Without a fresh action de sore, it could not be
touched.

The Cape parliament still continued in session. A select
committee of the legislative council on railway oxtemeion
had preented a report strongly in favour of extended
lints constructed on an economical system. The Horse
of Assembly had also taken the preliminary steps for a
thorough investigation of the whole question.

THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

By the arrival of the above mails we have ad-
vices from Bombay to August 11; Madras, Au-
gust 5 : Calcutta, August 6; Ceylon, August 10 ;
Bong Kong, July 24, &c.
The Calcutta Eaglishnian says that rain has fallen
in the north-western provinces, and generally all
over India. The prospects of ail the crops, espe-
cially of indigo, had greatly improved. In places
where the Khureef crops had suffered largely from
drought fresh sowings were being actively made.
The Madras Athenaeum says that the prospects of
the (sops from the interior and from the districts
round about Madras are very favourable, and all
anxiety about scarcity in the presidency may be
set at rest for this season, unless there should be
too much rain, which might prove as hurtful as a
drought. At present, however, there seemed
nothing much to fear. . .

The hb,mbo Observer gays that the great event
sinew the departure of the previous mail had been
the unveiling. at Kandy, of the statue of the late
Sir Ilcury George Ward, 0.C.M.G., who was
Governor of Ceylon from May, 1535, to June.
und who " m the five years of his government
did more to promote the material progress of the
Wand than any other ruler, at least since the tim

a procession, headed by a few musicians, was formed, and
preecded by a banner bearing the inscription. "Justice,
and no more—our rights and no less," marched to the
brew of tl e hill where the committee had previously taken
their stand. The numbers swelled immensely. and in a
short time no less than 3,000 or 4,000 assembled. Before
the chair was taken, all present obeying the in-
juuctii,n of a cab-owner and driver named Barnes,
who is a prominent member of the committee. sat
down and formed a circle of which the impro-
vised platform was the centre. Barnes seemed to
have considerable influence over his brother cabbies.
Ihey obeyed him good-humouredly. and thoroughly ap-
woriated the slang phrases in which he indulged. He
told them he was sorry he could not drink their health,
but he would take a pinch of snuff, and say "lied bless
'cm all." He then very generously held out his snuff
lox and invited tho-e near "to take a pinch, awl be
jolly." With the unanimous assent of the meeting the
chair was taken by Mr. PEARCE.
The CHAIRMAN was received with general cheering and
waving of hats. As he was suffering from hoarseness. ho
apologised for his inability to deliver a long address,
adding that he had made twelve speeches at the top of
his voice within the last two or three (Jaya and had been
np all night at work in the interest of those who had
assembled on that occasion. He would, therefore, be
compelled to call upon some of their friends to state the
objects of the meeting, so as to let the public really know
and understand what was the point in dispute between the
cab owners and drivers of the metropolis and the railway
companies. With that view he would first ask their oil
friend Mr. Barnes to address them. (Cheers.)
Mr. BARNkM commenced his speech by entreating them
to bury the past. He was a man of peace, although
he had been a fighting man at one time—(cheers
and laughter)—and he believed that peeeeable movements
were always the most successful. When the public saw

was a bad time for the growlers. (Laughter and •' hear,

because the Chatham and Dover ran anywhere and every-

half the trade out of their hands and the bread out of
their mouths. (Hear, hear.) Yet, in fast of this, these

passengers to the railway, but not good enough to take
the same passengers back again. (Hear, hear.) lie

voice and action they would show the blundering directors
who were not capable of getting a dividend without
getting it out of poor cabby, that they wore not to be

The eyes of the whole of England were upon thin at

which they acted on that occasion, and therefore he hoped
their proceedings would be peaceable and orderly.
