DISASTROCS FIRE IN SOUTHWARK.

A fire, involving immense destruction of property,
broke out last night, about half-past ten o'clock, on the
premises of Messrs. Thomas Routledge and Company,
proprietors of the steam saw-mills, in Holland-street,
Blackfriars-road.

Very shortly after the outbreak, the fire extended to
the flour mills belonging to Messrs. Waters and Steel,
and thence to the premises of Mr. James Dickenson,
bottle merchant, and Mr. Scott, linseed cake manu-
facturer.

The flames next communicated with the extensive
range of premises occupied by Messrs. George and John
Rennie, the eminent engineers, which, with all their
valuable plant, are immolated in one common rain.
The metropolis was brilliantly illuminated by the re-
flexion of the flames for many hours.

We regret to add that the catastrophe has been at-
tended with loss of life. Mr. Thos. Jackson, a fine
young man, only 25 years of age, stepson of Mr. Braid-
wood, superintendent of the fire brigade, and himself
holding the position of one of the surveyors of the Sun
Fire-office, while actively engaged assisting the firemen
in Messrs. Waters and Steel's yard was buried beneath
a stack of burning timber, which fell over from the ad-
joining premises shortly before midnight. The body,
burnt to a cinder, was only recovered at three o'clock
this morning. Mr. Jackson had only been 18 months
married, and was universally respected by all whoknew
him.
Mr. Henderson, foreman of the Southwark division of
the brigade, sustained a severe accident while actively
engaged in the performance of his onerous duties.
Thirteen horses were rescued with great difficulty
from the stables attached to the flour mills.
Almost all the brigade engines inf London were called
into use, as well as the steam-float engine from South-
wark-bridge. The West of England engine, and that bf
Messrs. Hodges, the distillers, were also actively -en-
gaged.
It is feared that the loss of property will amount to
at least 150,0001.
The scene presented by the fire from the bridges and
across the river was of the grandest possible description.
The floating masses of ice, illuminated by the glare of
the flames, had a most extraordinary effect, and for a
long period, while the fire was at its height, a snow-
storm added to the picturesque grandeur of the spec-
tacle.

The police, under Mr. Superintendent Haynes, were
of the greatest possible service in keeping the crowd
out of danger.
The body of Mr. Jackson was conveyed in a Ellen to
the workhouse.

THE PERSEVERANCE.

Admiral WALCOTT asked the First Naval Lord
what was the cause of the accident which befel the Per-
severance ?

Vv
Admiral BERKELEY said the subject was under
investigation ; hut, in the meanwhile, he could state
that the vessel was not much injured.

THE IRISH MILITIA.

In reply to Mr. H. lIEREIF,IIT,
Sir J. YOUNG stated that step 3 had alraady been
taken for supplying the Ireh militia with every descrip-
tion of clothing.
London, England, 1855-02-17

Let our fair readers, or their lords, who perNP3

read this to them, know, howver, that such in
the due course of providin ttea for soldiers both
here and at Balaklava ; except when some Com-
mander DzitiatmA.N, and his admirable second
master, Mr. SKR/ID, determine to take the tea
department of the Commissariat into their own
hands. The ladies will excuse us if we express
our belief that scores of sailors in the service, if
encouraged as they ought to be, would soon rival
the performances of our housekeepers themselves
in handiness amidst exigencies. Mr. FREDERICK
SKEAD is both in head and heart but a specimen
of many hundreds now afloat. If Lords PAL-
MERSTON and PAN3cIURE do but intend to begin
promoting ability and worth, they will soon find
a plentiful harvest both in the army and navy.

It is a singular coincidence that rumours have
been rife in Paris of the intention of Louis NA-
POLEON to visit the Crimea, while it is stated that
our army is falling back to be an army of reserve
and to defend Balaklava. The French, from the
comparative smallness of their losses, and their
large reinforcements, must have probably five or
six times more men than we at Sebastopol, and in
far better working condition also ; they have al-
ready relieved us, taking part of our "attack," as
it is termed, and it is not improbable that they
may be in a condition to take yet more. Their
work; also, are advanced much nearer than ours ;
indeed it would appear from many accounts as
if they might in one part commence at any time
a hand-to-hand contest for one part of the town.
Tt is certainly not impossible that the EMPEROR
may wish his name to be associated with the
storming of Sebastopol; and if he do, he is not the
man to be lightly diverted from his purpose.
There can be little doubt, moreover, that the
name of NAPOLEON would be a glorious watch-
word for the fellow-countrymen of those who pe-
rished in the retreat from Moscow. And Sebas-
topol stormed by the French under NnroLzoN
111., after his troops had successfully wintered
before it, would be a grand historic parallel for
Moscow burnt by the Russians to destroy NAPO-
LEON I. and his army by Russian snows. It will be,
moreover, the destruction of a vast fortressbuilt by
the CZARS for the most nefarious purposes, and
where Russians have no right to be, instead of the
conquest of a city which the CZARS ought never
to have left, and to which they must be driven
back again if Europe is to have lasting peace.
Should he go to the Crimea on such a mission,
we only hope he will return determined to be
present at the storming of Warsaw also. Euro-
pean history, then, could never forget him.

THE WEATHER, THE PARKS, (to.

The appearance of the Thames yesterday was singu-
lar. Not a steamboat could be seen passing up or down.
Up to yesterday the North Woolwich Railway bad been
enabled to convey their passengers from Shoreditch to
North Woolwich, and pass them over to the Kentish
shore by means of steamboats. Yesterday morning, how-
ever, put an end to the previous facilities, for, on the
passengers getting to the North Woolwich station, it
was found impracticable for the small steamboats to cross
to the opposite side.
Between Greenwich and Woolwich a great accumula-
tion of ice has been frozen together, in such bodies that
it is next to an impossibility for any small craft to cross
the water.

A.t Putney, Wandsworth, and even lower down the
river, no sort of vessels can venture out. Several skaters
amused themselves upon the ice at Kingston yesterday,
as did also many hundreds at Teddington and Barnes.
The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Re-
ceiving-house in Hyde-park during the night of Thurs-
day indexed 20 deg., being 12 deg. below freezing point.
Yesterday morning it was at 9 o'clock 20 deg. and at
noon 26 deg., but at 5 o'clock in the evening it stood at
24 deg., being 8 deg. below freezing, and towards the
evening it commenced rapidly to descend, indicating the
continuance of the present severe weather.

The barometer yesterday indexed 29'93 deg., being
25-100ths above what it was the preceding day.
The wind in the morning was east by south, which
changed in the evening to south-east by east.
The barometer at 5 p.m. showed an inclination of going
down, so that a further fall of snow way be expected.
The ice on the gerpentine was 7. inches thick, and
the sliders and skaters during the day was about 20,000.
At a late hour on Thursday night a singular performance
took place. A great number of gentlemen, not wishing to
mingle with the crowd, proceeded in a body to the Ser-
pentine after the regular skating hours had finished,
and, each with a lighted torch in band and a policeman's
lamp buckled in front, amused themselves on the ice
until nearly midnight. Mr. Superintendent Williams,
on being informed of what was doing on the river, pro-
ceeded to the spot, but fortunately no accident took
place.
20,000 persons, including nearly 250 women, ventured
on the ice in St. .Inry..,s's raric.
The Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of
Cambridge, and a goodly sprinkling of the nobility were
on the banks of Kensington-gardens witnessing the evo-
lutions of the skaters dur;ng the day.
The Long-water had sliders and skaters. The Round-
pond bad 1,500 skaters and sliders, but no accident of
any moment occurred. The Regent's-park had about
15,000 sliders and skaters on the frozen waters.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Feb. 14.—The Gazette du Senat pub-
lishes the convention concluded with the Govern-
ment for the management of the telegraph between
here and St. Petersburg, which is now, at the special
instance of the Prussians, also opened to the use of
private persons. State despatches have precedence
of all others, and are forwarded gratuitously ; next
come those connected with the technical service of
the telegraphs themselves ; and last of all come
those forwarded by the public at large. The num-
ber of State and other official despatches forwarded
last year by the 16 existing lines of telegraph in
Prussia was, in the course of last year, 12,000 ; the
number of private despatches, however, was, dur-
ing the same time, 100,000, and brought in a reve-
nue of 260,000 thalers, of which 50 per cent. was
net profit over and above the expenses of working
them. The whole outlay for the 16 lines during
1848-54 amounted to 1,106,307 thalers, so that the
net profit is now nearly 10 per cent., irrespective
of the gratuitous forwarding of State despatches.
In former years, up to 1852, the working of these
telegraphs caused an annual loss of from 56,000 to
74,000 thalers to the Government.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. s.—Gen. Guyon (ICnr-
chid Paella), well known as the leading staff officer
of the army of
Anatolia, arrived from Trebizond
yesterday morning.
The Jean Bart, Freno thr.e-decker, arrived a
couple of days ago from Sebastopol, en her way to
Toulon ; but owing to the pressing demands of the
service she was ordered back with 600 men on
board. The Turkish steam-frigate Mahbir-i-Niridi
has also been ordered to take up troops, and I am
told the Friedland, Valmy, and Ville de Paris,
French line-of-battle ships, are all under orders for
'Sebastopol with troops.
A most exciting scene took place a few days ago,
when 860 Armenian and Turkish porters wore en-
gaged to proceed to Balaklava, to aid in unloading
the transports, and to work at the tramway. The
agent sent down for the purpose offered 'ill. ss. per
month, and a biscuit ration for each man. These
conditions were jumped at by all the porters of the
place. Several thousand healthy sturdy fellows
came forward, and those who were rejected ex-
pressed such sincere regret that it was heartrending
to hear them.

RUSSIA.

A letter from Hamburg of the 13th inst. says :
ii ..... _ _

" Letters from Poland, which were received here
yesterday and to-day, agree in stating that, since
the beginning
of the month, various movements
have taken place among the Russian troops in that
kingdom. Prince Gortschakoff, whose army had
been much weakened by the successive departure of
various corps for Odessa, had received reinforce-
ments from Volhynia and Podolia. It was sup-
posed that the two divisions which had left Lublin
and Zamosc were destined to replace the different
regiments which will leave those provinces to join
Prince Gortschakoff's army in Bessarabia.
"The Russian Government is turning the win-
ter to account, which in this country facilitates the
means of transport, by sending stores of every
description to Odessa, and thence by Perekop to
the Crimea. Caravans of hundreds of sledges are
sent from all points of the Empire, and especially
from Moscow, with provisions and clothing for the
army.

" The Minister of Marine at St. Petersburg has
received a detailed report from Councillor Kryloff,
sent, in November last, to Sebastopol to organize
the service of the hospitals and military ambulances.
This report states that a marked improvement 'was
visible in the sanitary condition of the garrison.
The barracks were in a good condition, and the
sick and wounded in the hospitals received every
care and attention.

"The famous surgeon, Giragoff, who, with a
body of volunteer surgeons, had left St. Petersburg
for the Crimea in November, was rendering signal
services to the wounded. The reports of the Ge-
nerals to the Government speak in the highest
terms of the devotion with which M. Giragoff ful-
fils his mission, and of the acts of benevolence ren-
dered by the Sisters of Charity sent out by the
Grand Duchess Helena at her own expense to the
Crimea."

THE CAVAN ASSASSINATION.

Up to the present nothing has transpired, at least
publicly, which would afford hope of the speedy arrest
of the murderers of poor Miss Hinds. Save to the con-
spirators the perpetrators are unknown, and, doubtless,
walk abroad and unmolested in the face of day, confident

mend that an additional pohce-station be formed in the
immediate vicinity of the late outrage.
" That a subscription be entered into, and that the resi-

magistrates of the county be authorised to receive such

sense which we entertain of the services rendered to the

RUSSIA.

WAtaily, Oct. 26.—The new levy of 10 men in
1,000 inhabitants is to include the trews, and is the
eighth since the beginning of last year. The first
was ordered by the imperial ukase of the 10th of
February, 1854, and the proportion fixed on was 9
recruits in 1,000 souls, whilst it had effect in the
whole of the Russian empire in Europe. In the
course of the same year fresh levies were ordered
by the ukases of the 7th of September and the
13th of December, to the extent of 10 men in 1,000
souls both in the eastern and western provinces.
The first act of this description in the present
year was the famous manifesto of the Czar of the
10th of February, ordering the embodiment and
formation of the militia in 18 provinces to the ex-
tent of 23 recruits in 1,000 souls ; and three months
later appeared the imperial ukase of the 6th of
May, ordering a fresh levy of 12 men in every
1,000 inhabitants for the western half of the empire
(Russia in Europe). Them) were followed in quick
succession by the three ukases of the 31st of May,
12th of August, and 7th of October, embodying the
militia in the rest of the provinces of the empire
and ordering a levy of 10 men in 1,000 souls.
From the 10th of February, 18'54. d.,,ern to the
present time, the Czar has consequently raised no
less than fifty-two men in every thousand inhabi-
tants in the whole of the empire, and 12 more in
the western half ; and now comes a fresh conscrip-
tion of ten men in one thousand souls, making
altogether about seventy men in two hundred and
fifty, or more than 25 per cent. of the male popula-
tion, for we may assume that one half of every
thousand inhabitants are females, and of the re-
maining five hundred one half are children and old
men. Notwithstanding the colossal nature of these
draughts on his subjects in less than two years, we
see that the Russian army are just barely able to
make head against the allied forces of the enemy,
and the question very naturally presents itself to
every reflecting mind--" If the loss of life is so
great during the first two years of the war, and our
population experience a similar drain during the
continuance of hostilities, how long will it be before
the population of Russia is reduced to nothing but
woman and children ?" It is a common rule-of-
three sum that any schoolboy can easily calculate.
