NEWCASTLE.—About ten minutes before five
o'clock on Thursday morning last the attention of Inspector
Smellie, of the new police, was attracted in passing along
Eriek-street, in this town, by some smoke arising from the
workshops of Mr. Henry Ellis, the plumber, and from a
light in the premises. Having immediately ascertained that
the building was on fire, he alarmed the firemen. The en-
gines of the Newcastle Fire-office, the North British, and
the Newcastle and North of England, were soon after upon
the ground. Unfortunately, however, before any engine
could arrive, or commence playing, from the nature of
building, great part of it being of' wood, the fire had extended
to the roof, and the premises were in a blaze. Having ob-
tained an instantaneous and abundant supply of water from
the Water Company's pipes, they soon produced a great effect
upon the flames, effectually prevented their spreading to
the adjoining property, and succeeded in extinguishing them
altogether in three-quarters of an hour. It is due to Gal-
loway, foreman of the Newcastle Fire-office engine, to say
that be displsyed great energy and activity on the occa-
sion, and by his exertions chiefly, Mr. Ellis's books and
office were preserved. The police were present, under the
orders of Mr. Stephens, the superintendent, and were of
considerable service by keeping the ground clear for the
firemen and preventing any depredation ; they, however,
took no active part in attempting to put out the fire. The
upper part of the building, and part of the stock, lathes,
and patterns were destroyed ; but the greatest part of the
d stock, which was happily on the grounfloor, was preserved.
The fire, it is ie •ed, originated in a beam of wood, which
had been placed too near a chimney, with which the furnace
communicates. By the Town Improvement Act, recently
passed, it is required that no wood shall be placed within
nine inches of the internal surface of any chimney. had
this been enforced sonic years ago, this fire could not have
hadpened. This Act also very properly requires that all
hoascs and manufactories erected since its passing shall
have party walls ; this necessary precaution had likewise
heen omitted in the erection of the workshops in question.
Mr. Ellis's premises and stock in trade were partially in-
sured.—Tyne Mercury.
Everybody who has been at Paris is familiar with
the names of Madame la Duchess de Guiche, the beautiful
sister of Count d'Orsay, and Madame de Rccamier, the
friend of Clrateaubriand, who boasts—and what a splendid
boast it is I—that she has had half the celebrated men of Eu-
rope for her admirers, and kept them as her friends. Madame
Le lion, the wife of the Belgian Ambassador, and a Rat-
hens' beauty of the first water, is particularly celebrated
fur her chapeaus, which are still copied as soon as worn,
though the hcvdey of her fasliion is gone by.' Madame la
Comtesse de Vaudreuil, an attractive young widow, has
earned a name in history by the introduction of the risellc ;
the ruby velvet first worn by herself contrasted soadmirably
with her raven hair that the fashion spread like wildfire, and
was almost as rapidly extinct. As regards head-dresses, a'
custom prevalent among Frenchwomen who arc fortunate
enough to possess jewels deserves to be recorded. Instead
of trusting the arrangement to their maids or hairdressers,
they send their pearls and diamonds to lierbault or Beaudran,
to be disposed about turbanstheiri\i and hats, and a fine picto-
rial effect is the result.liDuchesse de Plaisance,
daughter of the Princessetic
'gram, is a beauty of the
light, airy, sylph-like order. She was one of the first to
adopt the small tjght old:fasi.eliuontea lce„ve, revived by Ma-
dame Oudot-Manoury— a uu such
couturiere"—says a lady corre-
spondent of acknowledged tastematters—" a cou-
tut iere of less general renown thannYre or Victorine—
but of infinitely more inventive taste, daring
fashion,iariig even to plan from
i in
