GREAT FIRE NEAR TORQtrAY.—One of the most
extensive conflagrations that has taken place in the neigh-
bourhood of Torquay for a great number of years, occurred
on Friday, at Barton Hall, the beautiful seat of Mr. Henry
Langford Brown, about two miles from Torquay, on the
Newton Road, and which resulted in the total destruction
of the above mansion. The fire occurred between eleven
and twelve o'clock in the forenoon. It appears to have
broken out in one of the bedrooms. Every possible assis-
tance was rendered by those present in removing the furni-
ture and other valuable property. These were taken out on
the lawn in front of the house, and, although principally
saved, are greatly damaged. The house is entirely de-
stroyed, and the damage done is estimated at several thou-
sand pounds.
ARREST OF COLONEL KNOX'S ASSAILANT.—
The e:wrtions of the police to discover the miscreant who on
the 31st ult. fired at Colonel Knox, of Brittas:Caetle, have,
it is believed, at length been successful. A man,
named Bohen, the son of a farmer residing at Barnane,
was arrested on Friday last, and has been identified
by Colonel Knox. as the person who fired at him.
It will be remembered that at the time of the occurrence the
assassin, previous to discharging his pistol, crossed the
road, caught hold of the bridle of Colonel Knox's horse,
and demanded money, and, on being refused, he pulled a
pistol out of his pocket, and discharged its contents at
Colonel Knox's head. It will thus be seen that Colonel
Knox had ample time and opportunity to observe the
mp:p rtihetset peneac
fea-
tures of the man, so as to be able to identify hi

" The Inman steamer
The Cork Examiner says :
of to-day. the City of Washington, takes out a yet larger
number of passengers than did the vessel of the preceding
week. Upwards of 500 emigrants leave ; these belong ap-
parently not to the poorer, but to the more comfortable
class of small farmers. Astonishing as it may seem, the
number emigrating during this and the past three weeks is
even greater than during the corresponding, periods last
Tear."
