FIRE AT KENSALL-GREEN CEMETERY (THIS DAY).
—At an early hour this morning, the vault No. 16 in this
burying-place was found to be on fire. It contained 10
coffins, and before the fire was subdued nearly the whole
of them were consumed. A fireman descended into the
vault while the fire vs in progress in a similar dress to
that now exhibiting at the Polytechnic, and was supplied
with air by the steam engine..

BRISTOL-THURSDAY.

The wheat trade has been much excited during the last
few days, owing to the continued rain, and prices daily
stiffening. The crops have suffered severe injury, and the
yield, especially of wheat and fine barleys, will be seriously
affected. Our market to-day was shortly supplied with
English wheat, which sold freely at 3s per qr. advance.
Foreign 3s per qr. dearer, with a good inquiry. Flour 36
to 4s per sack higher. Malting barley scarce, and a fair
demand for grinding at 3d to 6d per qr. over last week.
Old oats scarce and 6d higher. Beans and maize as dear.

LoATDOAT, THURSDAY, FEB. 16, 1865.

We have not had long to wait for the satisfaction
of Our curiosity respecting the peace negotiations in
America. The arrival of the Hibernian, closely
following by the Canada, has at once dispelled any
hopes that might have been formed by the friends
of the Union in this country. A. very little reflec-
tion, however, showed the reader from the first that
there was little to hope. Continuous as have been
the Southern disasters of late, and active though
the agents of the North have been in fostering dis-
affection and discord in the councils of the Con-
federacy, there is certainly no reason toanticipaftoer
a wholesale surrender of the great principle
which the Southern people have so long and so
gallantly been striving. With Richmond still
secure, Charleston proudly defiant, Wilmington as
yet untaken, and Mobile in their hands, the Con-
federates would be premature indeed in abandoning

the struggle in which they have sacrificed so much,

unless they did so on the offer of better terms than.
any they are likely to have had at Fortress Monroe.
On the other hand, the Northern people are not
yet willing to abandon their dream of empire and
dominion. Though the war is drawing them with
velocity along the road to national ruin, they do not
foal inpvitable collapse, The factious prosperity

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been established for the purpose of
facilitating the Registration of Titles to Landed Estates,
uncle, the provisions of the " Land Registration Act ;' and
also for the purchase of Freehold Land, the titles to which

7i he especial object of this Company is to assist owners of
property who, fr, m want ot funds or other cans. s. have
hither o been unable to avail themselves ot the advantages
offered by the Act. The Company will undertake the exa-
mination and registration of titles to Landed Estates; it will
rovide the fund., for the necessary preliminary expenditure;
discharge the various incumbrances, where the value of the
estate bears a just proportion to the amount charged upon
it; and wilt also facilitate the arrangements of persons de-
sirous of lending or borrowing on landed security. Whilst,
from the nature of these operations and the securities held
by the Company, it will be prott oted aminst all risk of loss,
considerable profit must be derived, and owners of land will
find their advantage in the Increased value of their property.
The Company will purchase Registered and other Landed
Estates, and re-sell them in lots or otherwise, where the ad-
vantages of a simple and Parliamentary title enable them to

GENERAL GARIBALDI.—Dr. Whitehead, of Bir-

Daily Courier the following letter which he received yes-
terday from General Garibaldi, relative to the intended
visit of the General to England :—" Caprera, Bth February,
1865.—My dear sir,—lt being impossible for me to visit
England this year, I thank with all my heart my English
friends for their kind wish ; and I am, with gratitude,

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
The disheartened by illhealth need not be inconsolable till
they have honestly given a fair trial to these trusty medica-
ments. One grand fact to be noted is, that they are im-
potent to do mischief in any case, because both Ointment
and Pills are composed of the finest balsams, which purify,
regulate, and strengthen the animal economy. Every one
may confidently recommend these remedies to their friends
afflicted by bad health; they will free them from disease,
and confer on them the greatest good. Both external
and internal maladies have succumbed to the persevering
use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, when the duration
of some, and the excruciating pains of others, have defied
ordillary measures.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1i per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
rather more than 1-16th per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

.rhe course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on
gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on
the importation of go:d from the United states.

friends for their kind wish ; and I am, with gratitude,
truly theirs, G. GARIBALDI." _

LADvEnusEmENT.]-11olloway's Ointment and Pills.—
The disheartened by illhealth need not be inconsolable till
they have honestly given a fair trial to these trusty medica-
ments. One grand fact to be noted is, that they are im-
potent to do mischief in any case, because both Ointment
and Pills are composed of the finest balsams, which purify,
regulate, and strengthen the animal economy. Every one
may confidently recommend these remedies to their friends
afflicted by bad health ; they will free them from disease,
and confer on them the greatest good. Both external
and internal maladies have succumbed to the persevering
use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, when the duration
of some, and the excruciating pains of others, have defied
ordinary measures.

This was also a petition for dissolution of marriage pre-
sented by the husband against his wife.
The parties lived in Leeds, and, from the evidence, it
appeared that Mrs. Livesy became addicted to intoxication,
so much so that the petitioner was compelled to leave her.
On one occasion she struck him with a pitcher on the fore-
head, the mark of which still remained. One of the wit-
nesses had seen Mrs. Livesy in Leeds gaol, where
she was confined. The adultery having been proved,

THE POOR RATES.

Lord RAVENSWORTH presented a petition from
Hammersmith complaining of the gross inequality of the
poor rates between the metropolitan and suburban districts.
The noble lord having called the attention of the Govern-
ment to the statements contained in the petition, and in
the course of his observations said the grievance of which
he complained resolved itself into one short solution, viz ,
that where the wealthy districts of the metropolishadthe
benefit of the exertions of the working and industrious classes
the expense of supporting the poor, the sick, the aged, and
the infirm, fell upon the suburban districts. The noble
lord concluded by asking the Government whether they
contemplated any measure of relief to the suburban dis-
tricts in their promised bill for the amendment of the Poor
Law Acts.
Earl GRANVILLE wasunderstood to say that although
her Majesty's Government intended to introduce a bill
to carry out certain recommendations of the committee
of the House of Commons of last session, to
which the noble lord had referred, they did not intend to
legislate specially for the metropolis.
ILLICIT DISTILLATION IN IRELAND.

sion of illicit distillation in Ireland within the counties of

wounds.

The Richmond journals state the Federal forces
under Sheridan, now in the valley of the Potomac,
comprise only about 6,000 infantry and 8,000
cavalry. Sheridan's headquarters are said to be at
Winchester, where his troops are mostly in winter
quarters.

Beauregard is said to have officially contradicted
the report that Union meetings had been held in
Georgia, outside of Sherman's lines. Some attempts
had been made to get up such meetings, but they
had been suppressed by a general uprising of the

people against them.
The Richmond Dispatch of Jan. 28 claims that the
Federal accounts of the disasters of Hood's army
are gross exaggerations, that Hood had inflicted
double his own losses upon Thomas, and that the
Confederate army was well supplied with artillery,
and neither demoralised nor discouraged.
The Richmond Examiner says that all the blockade
runners in Cape Fear River escaped to sea before
the fall of Fort Fisher.
The total Federal casualties at Fort Fisher are
now stated at 691 men. Of these 11 officers and 77
men were killed, 39 officers and 472 men wounded,
and 92 men missing.
The Confederate General Whiting, and Colonel
Lamb, are recovering from their wounds, which
were very severe. General Terry had granted per-
mission to General Whiting's friends to send him
funds and clothing.
Richmond journals state that a movement is being
made by a force of from 6,000 to 10,000 men up
the Chowan River against Weldon, but it is claimed
that a force has been sent to Weldon sufficient to
defend the place and rout the force advancing
against it in a thorough manner.
