MADRAS IRRIGATION COMPANY.
Mr. SMOLLETT asked the Secretary of State for India
whether he had made any further concessions or given a

Irrigation Company, beyond the sum of £1,000,000 sterling
to which the guarantee of interest was previously limited ;
and whether he would be prepared to produce all the papers
and correspondence explanatory of the Government con-
nection with this Joint Stock Company ?
Sir C. WOOD replied with respect to the first question
that nothing as yet had been done. Proposals had been
made and negotiations were now going on; in fact, the
whole matter had been referred to the Government of Ma-
dras, and until the Government received its reply he could
give no answer to the question, nor express any opinion
upon she subject.
CONVERSION OF THE QUEEN'S PRISON INTO

rrEETFI.—I3y MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented sott elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tee closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed ti last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulaion. Mr.

MILITARY BAR EtACKS.

Mr. LOCKE asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether it was intended to convert the Queen's Bench Pri-
son into a military prison; and, if not, what were the in-
tention of the Government with respect to the site of that
building ?
Mr. COWPER replied, that when the Queen's Prison
was discontinued, it was the duty of the Gcvernment to
consider the best use to which the building could be appro-
priated to the public service ; and it appeared, on inquiry,
that it would be an economical purpose to apply it if it were
converted into a military prison, With ;this view the
building had been handed over to the War-officeat the closet
of last year.
FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. HANKEY asked the Secretary of State for tho
Home Department, whether he would be prepared to bring
in a bill for the better protection of life and property
against fires in the metropolis ; and, if so, when he would
introduce it ?
Sir G. GREY replied that he hoped shortly to lay on
the table of the house a bill on the subject ; but, in order
to avoid misapprehension, he wished to state that the bill
would not be exactly in accordance with the terms of the
report of the committee of last session of which the
hon. member :was the chairman: The billjhei meant to
introduce would, he believed, considerably strengthen the
system at present in force for the suppression of fires, and
thus be fully equivalent to the wants of this metropolis.
CHURCH RATES.

Mr. HOPWOOD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if the Government intend to bring in a
bill on the subject of church-rates th!s session?
Sir G. GREY replied that the Government had no bill
prepared to lay on the table of the house.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute Fick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—Tiz., that which is accom-
panied by sicken ss and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate sunport, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these tne most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Muver,
it gratuitously aflords medical advice and a
we medicine to more,
On the average, than 1, out-patients ek.
The weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to £ &tit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

ANECDOTES OF THE Expi.onErt OF CENTRAL
AUSTRALIA, W, J. ViraLS.—At 11 years of age
he was trusted alone with a gun, and was a notably good
shot ; and having'no dog to accompany him on his sporting
excursions, he trained a favourite cat to follow him about
the fields ..nd hunt the hedge-rows. " So particular," says
his father, " was he in his general demeanour that I desig-
nated him Gentleman John, or my Royal Boy. His
brothers, all younger than himself, styled him Old Jack,
or Gentleman Jack." In 1851 (when 16) he came up to
London to see the Great Exhibition, and, for the first time
in his life, beheld the wonders of the capital. "If," says
Dr. Wills, recalling this trip, " after a day or two, I chanced
to deviate from the leading thoroughfares and missed my
way, he would set me right in a moment. This was
rather mortifying to one who fancied himself well acquain-
ted with London from frequent visits, but he smiled when

August 20, 1860, that he left Melbourne with the doomed
expedition. He was then 27 years of age ; but, though he
wore a beard and had decision stamped on his face, it was
remarked that he did not look more than 20. Some photo-
graphic artists present amongst the crowd who witnessed the
exodus of the explorers, wished to take his likeness ; but
he put them aside, saying with a sad smile, " Should it
ever be wor h while, my father has an excellent one which
you can copy from." On June 27 of the following
year, the poor fellow, with unsteady hand, was penning
these last words of his last letter to his father—" You have
great claims on the committee for their neglect. I leave
you in sole charge of what is coming to me. The whole of
my money I desire to leave to my sisters: other matters I
pass over for the present. Adieu, my dear father. Love
to Tom. I think to live about four or five days. My spirits

The insurgents retreated in good order, after hav-
ing lost 150 killed and nine wounded. Wengrow
was burnt, and, as usual, the unarmed inhabitants
were indiscriminately put to death.
The official journal of St. Petersburg publishes a
despatch from Warsaw announcing that three Rus-
sian officers, Lieutenants Framcewitch, Grewowski,
and Oudywicki, of the regiments of Vitebsk and
Polotzk, had deserted to the insurgents. The first
two took part in the attack on the town of Ra-
dowskpau by the insurgents. These officers have
been condemned to be shot. The sentence has been
confirmed by the Grand Duke Constantine.

His Royal Highness Prince Arthur embarked on
board the paddlewheel steamer Vivid, tender to the
Fisgard, H. W. Allen, master, at Woolwich, on
Friday morning at 8, and proceeded to Shoebury-
ness to witness the gunnery experiments. The
Prince was accompanied from Greenwich by Major
Elphinstone.
A large number of non-commissioned officers and
privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine
Light Infantry were on Friday awarded badges for
good shooting during the past year. The badges
were of three kinds, and are to be worn by the re-
cipients during the present year, when others of a
similar nature will be competed for. The name of
the best shot is private Tomkins, of the 24th com-
pany, whose badge is a couple of crossed muskets in
gold wire, surmounted by a crown, and carries with
it a gratuity of 3d. pee day during the 12 months
for which he is entitled to wear it. The other first
Class badges, 10 in number, are similar to the
above, with the exception of the crown, and entitle
the bearer to the gratuity of 2A. per day for 12
months. The second class badges distributed were
78, of a similar design, with ld. per day gratuity,

THE GREEK THRONE.

A letter from Athens says that if the reports of
the Government took a long time, the decree of the
downfall of King Otho and his dynasty, and the
proclamation of Prince Alfred as the result of the
popular suffrage, took but very little time the next
day. As for the first, there was some danger of its
leading to lengthy discussion about the form of the
decree, which was calculated to weaken the general
effect of the unanimity existing in this respect.
More than a dozen different projects of decrees were
presented. At the last moment, however, the in-
convenience of such a proceeding was felt, and it
was determined to form into a committee all those
who had proposed the different projects. This led
to a- speedy uaderatandin, and the following short
and pithy decree''Nati the -resuitt—"The Second'
National Assembly of Greece, sitting at Athens:
considering the decree of the nation of the 22d of
October, 1862, which has pronounced the downfall
of King Otho from the throne of Greece, and which
has abrogated the rights of Queen Amelia to the
regency, as well as those of the Royal House of
Bavaria to the above mentioned throne, decrees that
the throne of Greece is declared vacant by right
and de facto since the 22d of October, 1862."
The decree was adopted unanimously, the whole
house rising.
The decree having passed, Korroneo, the Presi-
dent of the Commission drawn by lot for the count-
ing up of the votes of the plebiscite, made its short
report, according to which the votes were as fol-
lows :

c-- v` IRE AND LOSS OP LIFE.

Yesterday morning, shortly before 8 o'clock,. the
greatest confusion was caused in the immediate
neighbourhood of High-street, Vauxhall, in consek.
quence of the outbreak of a most destructive fire in
some premises immediately facing Messrs. Burnett's
distillery, in High-street, Vauxhall. The building
in which the disaster occurred belonged to Mr.
Poley, of Kennington-road, but was let out in tene-
ments to sundry poor families, as were several others
adjoining. These houses were of great antiquity,
and were built, principally of wood, as long since
as 1666. The houses on either side—in fact, the
entire clump, comprising several—were built in a
similar manner, there being nothing more than
lath and plaster partitions between each, which to a
certain extent will account for the extraordinary
spread of the fire; and unfortunately with what
was will worse, fatal results to a female bordering
upon 90 years of ag,..

From the inquiries made upon the spot during
the raging of the fire, it appelrs that as a police-
constable of the L, or Lambeth division, was patrol-
ing his beat, he noticed smoke issuing from one of
the upper rooms in the tenure of a Mrs. Perton.
Au instant alarm was given by the officer, and as
soon as assistance arrived, messengers were de-
spatched to call the engines, and also the Royal
Society's fire escapes. In the meantime an effort
was made to enter the room in which the fire had
occurred, it being supposed that Mrs. Perton was
in the room, as she had not been seen to leave the
building. The flames, however, spread with such
rapidity that no one could get up to the apartment
to render the least assistance, and meanwhile the con-
flagration assumed a fearful aspect, the flames rushing
right and left into the adjoining houses. The Royal
Society's escapes and two engines from Burnett's
dis-
tillery promptly attended,as well as that of the parish,
another from Hodges' distillery, one from,Bea,ufoy's
vinegar works, South Lambeth, and three of the
leondOn Brigade, under the superintendence of Mr.
ITendereonTtle'chief officer of the D district. Such
a formidable appearance, however, did the flames
then assume, that the inhabitants of the surround-
ing houses commenced removing their furniture,
and the mob began to pull out the front windows,
which caused the inmates to run into the street in
, a state nest to nudity. Mr. John Burnett, the distil-

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tt. last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.
