fortunate, as there are many large warehouses in the lo-

About a quarter-past Three o'clock yesterday
morning, a young man who had been making some en-
quiries at the Bridewell, discovered a fire in the upper
portion of a warehouse in Exchange-buildings. He gave
the alarm at the detective police station, and they soon dis-
covered that the ceiling Of the upper room was in. a blaze.

done. The building is occupied by 'Messrs. Stock and Son,

LAW INITLLIGENot.—On Friday, in the Consolidated
Chambers, before Judge Jackson, an application in the case
of Ruchacin v. Sodorholim, was made on the part of the de-
fendant, who is master of a foreign vessel in the corn trade,
and is at present. in the gaol of Cork, to have him released
from custody. It appeared that a cargo of wheat was
shipped from a port in the East by the plaintiffs, and that
the captain, having been driven by stress of weather to take
shelter in another port, was obliged to sell a portion of the
cargo, in order to defray the expenses, and the remainder
was transhipped into another vessel, and ultimately delivered
at Antwerp. The owners commenced proceedings against
the defendant to recover the sum of £2.600, loss said to have
been incurred by the sale of joart of the cargo and the dif-
ference of freight.. For the defendant, it was urged that at
the time of his arrest, he had no intention of leaving the
country, except in the discharge or his ordinary duties, as
master of a vessel trading to and fro ; and that he was not
liable to the sum claimed, being entitled to
_pursue tho,
course which hehad been compelled to adopt, in consequence
of tempestuous weather; that it was not alleged that the
corn had not been sold to advantage ; and that, if any loss
had been incurred, it was a question of
the
average, and
shoulebe borne proportionately by all the parties. The ap-
plication was refused, but without costs.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.—A quarrel which arose some
time since, between tha,Dublin and Bray, and the Dublin
and Wicklow companies, has been satisfactorily settled.
The facts are as follow :—The Bray line which belongs
to Mr. Dargan, had an act of parliament granted on the
condition that carriages should run on it from Dublin to
Dundrum, on or before ere Ist of July last. Now on that
day, there was not the slightest sign of the railway being
finished to Dandrum, but in order to comply with the act,
a few carriages were got over the ground in some exceed-
ingly primitive manner.: This, however, did not satisfy
the Wicklow company, who, being authorised to go on
with their line, if the others did not comply with the re-
quired conditions, were of course on the watch, and imme-
diately took the preliminary steps for obtaining an injunc-
tion against the Brayites. Matters went on in this way
until the other day, when an agreement was come to by the
amalgamation of the two companies.

0 RANGISIVI IN LISEUEN.—The extraordinary tyranny
which is sometimes exercised in party warfare, appears to
have had a striking development at the Lisburn election.
The Arorthern Whig o f Friday, gives a detail of some
orange proceedings, which, in their nature, would do credit
to a minor inquisition. It is stated that the independent
candidate, Mr. -J. J. Richardson, "of the Island, having had
the support of some of the allied brethren, the wrath of
some of the "lodges was excited, and the result has been,
that a summons was issued, after the manner of the
Vohnwerieht, to the offending parties. This summons con-
tained' a request to attend the Assembly House, Lis-
burn, to receive a deputation from the Grand Lodge
of Ulster, to answer certain charges against you,
for supporting the liberal candidate against a brother
Orangeman." This threatening notice was addressed
to the chief members of lodge 356, and it is stated that the
result ,of this investigation will be the withdrawal of the
warrant of that lodge. As the Whig remarks, "if anything
could possibly have tended to exhibit in their true colours
the Orange faction in Lisburn, this last display of their
character must fairly place them before the empire, and hold
them 'up to the reprobation of every • right-minded
individual."
