EXTENSIVE FIRE.—On Sunday morning, about tw.o
o'clock, the metropolis became brilliantly illuininatedq.
consequence of the sudden outbreak of a urging's'
tensive fire, near the Great Northern Railway, 11-113 P d•
cross, which continued to burn for a lengthened Perg'ed
wharf, Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge.
The premises in which the disaster commenced belong•
to Mr. Wombwell;ithe great cabproprietor, Belt:clouts

several persons having entered the burning promisee, they cu.

the contents consumed. The origin of the disaster could not
be ascertained. The premises were insured in the lloYal
Exchange Fire-office, but, unfortunately, the contents were
not insured.

QUICK LATE BRIGHTON TRAINS.—The Brighton
Company have put on a ten o'clock quick lath train, which
mutt prove a most acceptable boon to the Sunday visitors
to Brighton, and those who come to see London. We think
the plan might be adopted with advantage by some other
companies.

SALE OF THE INDIAN COLLECTION FROM THE GREAT
Exiiismoar.—Yesterday morning, at the Mart, Mr. Norton
proceeded with the first day's sale of the magnificent Indian
collection exhibited at the Ciystal Palace by the Honour-
able Directors of the Erst India Company. The sale of the
entire collection will occupy eleven days; and yesterday the

tures from diffirent parts of India; native shoes and slippers,
embroidered shawls, gauze shawls brocaded with gold and
silver, velvet throne c9vers ; jewelled jade, agate, and crystal
cups, and jewellery of the most costly description. The
sale-room was densely crowded by a feshionable assemblage
of ladies and gentlemen, and the possession of the varioui
lots was spiritedly contested for, the whole day's sale realis-
ing 2,8001.

LAST APPEARANCE OF MISS cusrigAN

ON I'HE AM E idCAN STAGE.
TIER FAnEwuLL PERFORMANCE AND PARTINO AD
rrEes.—Miss Charlotte Cie.hman has closed her bill"
liant professional career in America. She appeared for
the I.,st time, at the Broadway Theatre, sshich !Pe
crowded by those who wished to evince their admiration
of her character and talents. The play select !d for the
occasion was Guy filannering, dramatised troth Sir
Walter Scott's novel of that name, and in which
Cushman enacted her great character of Meg Menillet
It would be supererogatory to criticise or eulegise he'
matchless render:ng of this, one of the grandest cren-
Lions of the " Great Wizard of the North." Suffice it t:
say, she has nobly sustained the high reputation which
she has long since won on the stage for her unrivalled
delineation of the gipsy queen, and was frecloultif
interrupted ..
in her performance by the irrePre?
sible plaudits of the audience. After the curtain
fell, Miss Cushman, in obedience to the call of 10
house, came before the lights, supporese by Or;
Larry, the telentrel stage manager of the establisb'nel"
Her uppearaece was greeted with rapturous and Icnig;
sustained applause. As soon E 9 the uproar subsided
sufficiently to permit her voice to he heard, she seeks
her adieu in these words :—" Li-dies and gentlemen,t
