The proceedings were creditably conducted, and the
efforts which were made to improve the character of the
" Metropolitan Steeplechases " were well directed, and
are likely to meet with encouragement. On Wednesday,
the "grand day," spectators mustered very numerously,
but yesterday there was a marked falling off in the
attendance.

SERIOUS FlRE.—Wednesday night a fire occurred in
Princess-street, Little Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
and was unfortunately attended with considerable loss of
' property. It took place in the premises (formerly the
swimming baths) in the occupancy of Messrs. Tamplin
sad Pearce, wholesale feather bed manufacturers ; Mr.
Eshelby, currier ; and the Tilbury Glassworks, No. 6,
Princess-street, Little Queen-street, within a short dis-
tance of High Holborn. In a very few minutes the
brigade engines attended, as well as that of the West of
Eng!and Office, and the firemen, under the direction of
the principal officers, went to work, and by ten o'clock
—four hours after the outbreak—they succeeded in get-
ting the fire subdued. Messrs. Tamplin and Pearce's
stock is almost entirely destroyed, as well as the con-
tents of Messrs. Eshelby and Co.'s premises, and serious
damage is done to the costly stock of Messrs. Basire,
engravers and printers. As to the origin of the fire no-
thing could be gleaned.

By 'ter Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per-

piece, lc ill show distinctly Jupiter's moons. Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same teicszope can ino
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 10 to 20 miles. They are of larger and aL

DERBY SMITHFIELD.—Noy. 27.

There was a better supply of fat beasts to day, but the
demand was not quite so good; the quality of many was of
the middling sort, and some few loft unsold. The show of
sheep was large, and of good quality, but no alteration of
price. We had a good average supply of fat pigs.
