THE GREAT FIRE IN TOOLEY-STREET—LATEST
PARTICULARS (TUESDAY).—This extensive fire was
net wholly extinguished at noon to-day, and the smoul-
dering iif over a million pounds weight of tea, the gradual
consumption of coriander, carraway seeds, Spanish juice,
and the burning of Malacca canes, parterre canes, bags of
rice, pimento, nutmegs, mace, &c., of course will swell the
damage to a far greater amount than was expected yester-
day. The whole of the engines have, with the exception
of the river floater, been what the firemen term " knocked
off," the land-side hose being fed from Beck and Co.'s
patent hydrants, supplied by the Southwark Water Com-

THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS.—The colliers
of the South Yorkshire district have made a demand for an
advance of 10 per cent, upon their present rate of pay.
The movement is of no ordinary dimensions, inasmuch
as 6,000 hands are engaged in the district. The reasons for
the demand are the present brisk state of the market and
the advance which the coalmasters have made in the price
of the commodity. There appears to be a likelihood of the
masters complying with the request, in which case the un-
happy circumstance of a strike will be avoided.
THE GREAT ENGLISH BARITONE, MR. SANTLEY.
—Mr. Santley appeared on Saturday night as Casper in
Weber's " Der Freischutz " for the first time ; this after
having undertaken nothing less arduous than Mozart's
"Don Giovanni (also for the first time) on Thursday.
When it is remembered, says the Athenawn, that Mr. Sant-
ley's week's service has likewise included appearances in
M. Gounod's " Valentine" (a part he may be said to have
created) and also in Fidelio," we may call attention to
the four performances, in referring to this, as a feat which
places its maker in the very highest class of dramatic
artists.
