in visiting Ireland is to make himself fully and prac-
tically acquainted with its railway system; and also,
what is most important for the interests of the country,
to consider, on the spot, the various plans that have
been submitted to the London and North- Western Com-
pany for the acceleration and improvement of the com-
munication between London and Dublin. We have
every reason to believe that several important improve-
ments in the communication between the two coun-
tries will be the result of Captain Huish's visit; and it
also affords Us much gratification to communicate the
fact, that it is his anxious desire to give the benefit of
his great influence and authority in effecting these ob-
jects. The warm and cordial manner in which Captain
finish spoke of Ireland at the recent meeting of the
shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Company,
will, no doubt, be fresh in the recollection of our readers.
In illustration of the importance of
this visit, we may
state, that if some of the alteration! suggested be
adopted, a passenger leaving London in the morning
will be able to got to bed late that night at Belfast,
Cork, or Galway. Facilities such as these cannot fail
to be of the greatest value in promoting the material
interests of this country. The stay of Captain Huish
(who is accompanied by Mrs. Iluish) in Ireland will be
about three weeks.--Dublin Evening 1 ost.

FIRE.---DESTRUCTIoN OF A BARN AND A QUAN.
TITY OF' HAY.—About nine o'clock on Saturday morning a
fire broke out in the extensive barn and shippon belonging
to Mr. Jahez Parker, of Tong Head Farm, in the township.
of Tong, near Bolton. The building was about fifteen yards
by 8 yards, the upper portion being filled with hay, and the
lower affording accommodation for about 3.0 head
loft, worth
of cattle.
There were about GOO cubic yards of hay in the
about 2001. ; and most of it was either destroyed or rendered
worthless. The fire engines of Mr. Hardcastle, Messrs.
Ashworth, and the Bolton Corporation, were instrumental in
saving the house; but the fire had got such bold upon the
mass of hay that it was impossible to extinguish it with the
supply of water available at the time. 11Ir. Parker had no
will
insurance on the property, and his loss be the more se-
verely felt from the circumstance that during the prevalence
of disease among cattle he lost stock of the value of 6001.
Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.
THE CONVICTS SARAH AND ANA RIMMER.—The
only persons sentenced to death by Lord Campbell at the
late Liverpool Assizes were the two women convicted of
frequent attempts to poison the daughter of Sarah, and the
niece of the other prisoner. The case was a bad one. A few
days since the sister of the matron of Kirkdale Gaol con-
veyed the news to the Itimmers that their lives would be
spared.
TUE GREAT SEA SERPENT 111.—We understand
that a house in Liverpool has given an order for an iron
screw-steamer of 10,000 tons, to trade I?etween Liverpool and
New Orleau4o.-North British
