THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.—Mr. Wyld, 0
Charing-cross, has just published a very excellent
map of the seat of war in Denmark. The proposed boun-
dary lines of the Danish, German, and neutral powers, are
very clearly shown, and the map, therefore, will be found
of great service at the present period.
THE AMERICAN WAR. Messrs. Bacon have
recently contributed some valuable help to the
intelligent study of the war now raging in Virginia by the
publication of two maps, which illustrate on a large scale
tine prominent features of the country now occupied by the
contending armies of Grant and Lee. Every position is
distinctly defined, and by their help the course of Grant's
advance, and the steps by which his adversary has foiled
his movements may be distinctly traced. One of these
maps represents an area of 50 miles round Richmond ; the
other takes a wider range, and embraces the whole state of
Virginia.

DISTRESSING CASE OF DEATH EY FIRE.—On
Tuesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, a
deplorable cause of death by fire occur! ed in the Borough to
the wife of Mr John Beckett, late relieving officer of the
West London Union. It appears that the unfortunate crea-
ture, who is not snore than SO years of age, was alone in
the house at the time, with the exception of her family,
consisting of five small children, and having newly taken
the premises, she, in the absence of her husband, put the
children safely to bed, and then descending to the lower
past of the house, began to put the place in order,
taking a lighted candle with her. Her cries having
alarmed the neightoure, and the police observing the flames
through the basement windows, they got into the premises,
and there they found the poor woman in a complete bleza
from head to foot. As promptly as possible 'he fire was
extinguished, but the sufferer had ceased to exist. Medical
assistance was called in and other efforts used, but it was
found to be a hopeless case, life having Treen destroy ed LT
the fearful element. It is supposed (tle candlesticle being
found on the floor) that she had set it thoughtlessly down
And her dress having caught the flame it ignited, and hence
'he calamity. The requisite information has been sent to
ilr Payne, the coroner, relali?e to the unfortunate occur-
rence.
