some Tea and Coffee Service, at a dinner given to him at
Inglefield's Hdtel, Woodchurch-green, on Saturday last.

In a letter received at Woolwich from Mej )--General
Sir W. F. Williams, the General informs his friends there
that he has not received the slightest intimation of any-
probability existing relative to his being likely to resign
the command of the garrison for the present. Neither is
there, any truth in the report of his having been offered
the governorship of the Island of Malta.
THE INDIAN DfORAMA..—This attractive exhibition, it
will be observed, remains open up to Saturday only, and as
the proprietor wishes that every one should have an op-
portunity of seeing the beauties of Indian scenery, life
and manners, he has reduced the charges to half what
they were before. This, no doubt, will enable hundreds
to enjoy the instruction and pleasure derivable from a visit
to the Tuetonic Ball, during the week.
FIRE LAST Niaier.—shortly before seven o'clock last
night, a fire broke out among a large quantity of timber,
stacked on some vacant ground close to park-street,
Toxteth-park, A reel from Sussex-street, was speedily on
the spot, and succeeded in subduing the flames before the
arrival of two engines which had proceeded from Temple-
court station, under the charge of Me. Hewett. The
timber was the property of Mr. E. Choloner; Queen's Dock.
TRANMERE TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY.—On Monday
evening last, Mr. J. 'Fheophilus Jones delivered a lecture in
the school-room, St. Paul's-road, on the " Maine Law, and
the necessity of legislative interference for the suppression
of the liquor traffic." There was a numerous assembly of
the working class, and the deepes', interest seemed to be
manifested in Mr. Jones's admirable lecture, his objections
to the traffic being stated in the most unobjectionable
manner ; and his arguments appeared to convince his
hearers that moral suasion to sober habits was only as a
" drop in the ocean," and that legislative interference was
absolutely necessary. Mr. John Lockhart presided, and
Messrs. Guy and Baxter addressed the meeting. The
latter wished Mr. Jones every success in his new under-
taking of reforming the drunkard in other localities, where
the efforts of temperance advocates and Maine Law lee-
revers are more appreciated. It was understood that
•
Manchester was meant.
FlRE.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour. great con-
sternation was created in Vauxhall:road, and its densely
populated neighbourhoods in consequence of an alarming
fire having broken out in the stabling belonging to Messrs.
Irving, Son and Jones, proprietors ,of the extensive
rice mills, Blackstock street, which, at the time, con-
tained ten valuable horses, and was largely stored
with hay, straw, &c. From the very inflamable
nature of the contents of the building, and the rapidity
with which the flames spread, great fears were entertained
that the horses would fall a prey to the devouring ele-
ment, but, by dint of great exertion, six of them were
safely rescued ; another was brought out, so severely
burnt, and injured, that it was found necessary immediately
to convey it to a veterinary surgeon in the neighbourhood,
but the remaining three, we regret to state, were destroyed
by the flames. Mr. Hewitt, with engine and reel from
Temple court; Mr. Barrett, with West of England engine,
and a reel from Rose hill, were quickly at the scene of
destruction, and, owing to their great exertions, the
flames were confined to the premises on which they broke
out. We understand the bilildipg is insured in the Nor-
