THE IPIRB.-(THIS DAY.)

The great masa of ruin continues to cool down.
There see vow very few external indicatkous of active Ire,
and the smoke aria* from the smouldering heaps of dibris,
and from the underground celbux, is by no mesas eo
considerable in volume as yesterday, nor is the
natik, fatty, acrid smell of combustion so disagreeably
perceptible. The opsrations of shoring up the dangerous
walls next Tooley-street are being, rapidly pushed forertm4
as are also those for the recovery of salvage, the amount of
which it is now pretty generally admitted will ultimates
be much larger than was at Mgt antici
although many weeks—several months, in fact
elapse before those goods which are uninjured either wholly
or in part can be entirely disinterred from the super.
Incumbent TAM of fallen bnck work and rubbish. The bed?
of Mr. Scott has not yet been found, and there appears new
to be no hope of its speedy recovery, even if it should ever
be found at ell, in • shape to admit of its identiloatiss.
The number of persons visiting the scone of desolation this
morning was very limited.

Parliamentary returns issued this day state that
the sum required to be voted in order to make good the ex-
cess of expenditure for non-effective charges of the revalue
departments for the year ended March 31, 1861, is
17,9831. lls. 10d. The sum required to make good to the
Treasury chest amount, a repayment to the Exchequer is
excess of the surplus balance of the vote of credit of the
years 1854.5, 18554, and 1856-7, for the extraordinary ex-
poser of t►e war tit► Buse* is 53,4301. 15e. 10d.

the attention of meteorologists to • notable abeence of any
disturbance of the atmosphere we an extensive scale since
last March. excepting by local thunderstorms during the
'sat fortnight. From the end of March to the middle of
June neither sudden changes nor strong gales have
occurred over the British Islam's. Cold northerly
winds have prevailed, with but short and par-
tial exceptions (in these last weeks), during almost
three month*. Scarcely a fortnight of warm weather
cud but few hot day. have been felt ; those few, however,
have been very hot for the season. The previous period of
many months, especially December, January. February,
and March, having been so very much the reveres as to
atmospheric commotion, induces Admiral Fitzroy to re-
quest those interested in such matters to reconsider the
daily meteorological tables which they Lave noticed in our
columns, and mark the correspondence of their indica.

very gradual mixture, or rapid combination, or sudden col-
