Engineers are engaged in making the surTeys for a line

(60) from the capital, so as to form a communication with
all the great lines which start from it. Orleans Chartrea,
Evereux, Amiens, Epernay, Montereau, Sens, and Auxerre,

Frederick Wittneyer, a foreigner, has been brought up

We have every reason to believe that beyond the ap-
pointment of -Sir George Cathcart as Sir G: Brown's suc-
cessor; no change has been made in the -administration of
tho horse guards. The rumours, of new appointments in
that, department are therefore, to say the least,' premature.

Bum ow FlRE—About one o'clock on Monday morning
a brig, which had left Loith harbour on Sunday afternoon,
laden with the well known Torbanehill mineral, .was
covered while in the roads.to be on fire. Notwithstanding
the exertions of the crew, the flames soon enveloped the
entire hull, and to save 'the vessel from destruction, it was
considered expedient to tow her into Granton harbour, 'where
she was scuttled, as the only means of extinguishing the fire.
We have not learned whether the fire arose from accident '
or from the spantaneous combustion of the coal.—.Y. B.

TILE Fisn TRADE.—Fish are at present being caught in
large quantities on all.parts of the coasts oflngland, Ireland,
and Scotland, causing the transmission to the English mar-
kets of white fish to be stopped for the-present, and our own
markets to be consequently well supplied, and the prices
moderate. The forwarding of lobsters, however, continues
brisk. They are brought here in large numbers from the
western islands, chiefly from Skye, in boxes containing from
four to five dozen, and are here transferred for facility and
economy of carriage by rail, to tea chests; into each of Which
from 50 to 100 fish, according to size,
,are carefully packed,
and forwarded regularly, and in large quantities, in this way,
to Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London, in
each of which• towns is located a branch of a great firM, ori-
ginally of Aberdeen,. to whom are continually consigned
enormous, quantities of fish from all parts of the coast.
White and shell-fish that leave, Skye on Tuesday, are landed
here on Wednesday morning, are immediately repacked, and
on Thursday morning at the earliest hour are exposed for sale
on the stalls of the leading English markets. Lobsters ar-
rive in vigorous life.—Greenock Advertiser. • • •
