OF PROPERTY.

TEA 7 LOSS

This (Friday) morning, shortly before 3 o'clock,
a are, which at one time threatened to be attended
with serious consequences to life and property,
happened on the premises belonging to Mr. J. Law-
rence, a snuff and tobacco merchant, carrying on
an extensive business at 106, Euston-road, St. Pan-
cras. The discovery was made by the police officer
on the beat, who at once aroused the inmates sleep-
ing in the house—the shop being to a certain extent
detached from the dwelling—consequently they had
little difficulty in effecting a safe retreat, although
the smoke from the shop nearly filled every room
in the private house. The Royal Society's fire
escapes were soon in attendance, followed by nume-
rous engines of the London Brigade and the land
steam engines by Shand and Mason. A plentiful
supply of water having been procured, under the
direction of Acting Superintendent Fogo, of the B
district, and engineer Perryer, went to work, and,
being aided by twenty-eight hired auxiliaries, they
succeeded in confining the, flames to the shop and
warehouse, but they were not extinguished until a
serious amount of mischief was done to the valuable
stock in trade, fixtures, and other effects, the fire at
one time having obtained such an ascendancy that
it was rushing out of the ground floor window
across the foot path. The origin of the misfortune
is unknown. The loss will fall upon the Royal and
Union fire offices.

Another fire took place in the same road shortly
before the above-named, and another a short time

trifling.
A fire of a very alarming character broke out be-
tween seven and eight in the morning on the pre-
mises belonging to M.Louis Lachenal, manufacturer
of the patent concertina, whose factory is of great
extent, and situated in Little James-street, Bedford-
The fire commenced from some unknown
cause in the ground floor of the factory, at which
time a great number of young females were working.
in the premises. Nearly the whole of them ma-
naged to get out without much difficulty, but two
young women became prostrated with the heated
smoke, when conductor Ross, of the Royal Society,
having obtained a ladder, he rescued the two
jeopardised females from the back windows. The
engines of the London Brigade from several sta-
tions, including the powerful steam land engine by
Shand and Mason, under the command of Acting
Superintendents Fogo and J. lerrard, and engineers
Perryer and Flyn, were remarkably early in arriv-
ing, and, by great perseverance on the part of the
firemen, the flames were soon extinguished, but not
until great damage was done by fire and water,
every valuable musical instrument being spoilt by
the steam generated from the water used in getting
the fire subdued. It is at present unknown in
what office the sufferer was insured, as he had not
arrived in town at the time of the outbreak.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Charles West, wbo gave his address at 10, Warngate,
York, was placed before Alderman Humphrey, charged
with stealing a diamond ring, value £B, from the shop of
Mr. Cockavne, jeweller, of 1.54, Fenchurch-street.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner went into
the shop of the prosecutor in Fenchurch-street, and asked
to look at some pearl rings. A tray was accordingly shown
him, when he objected to the articles, and requested to be
shown some set with diamonds. Tho articles were shown
to him, and then he contrived to substitute
a " duffer" for the genuine one. The person who was
attending to the prisoner immediately saw the spurious
ring in the tray, and, without making any remark, he went
from the counter to shut the door before the prisoner could
leave the shop. The prisoner, imagining something was
wrong, put the geninue ring back on the tray, but not in
its proper place. He was then given into custody, but the
paste ring was not discovered.
The address given by the prisoner was a false one.
Another charge of a similar nature, the gentleman
robbed being Mr. Burton, Church-street, Hackney, was
then preferred against the prisoner. The ring, which was
stolen on the 31st of July, was valued at £l7 17s,
The police-constable said there was another charge
against the prisoner—viz., stealing a ring from the shop of
Mr. Campbell, of Cheapside, but that gentleman was not
in attendance.
The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be brought
up again to-morrow, for Mr. Campbell's charge to be pro-
ceeded with.

The .711obile Advertiser gives an extract from a
private letter from Vicksburg, stating that the
Federal commander had offered to raise the siege lf
the gunboats were allowed to pass the batteries.
" JULY 13.

" We have just received exciting news from our
batteries. A Yankee flag of truce has arrived to
request permission for their gunboats to pass our
batteries at Vicksburg and Baton Rouge unmo-
lested, and that they will evacuate New Orleans
and the river. It is said that General Van Dorn
has refused the request, for he says that before two
months he shall have the whole of the Yankee fleet
between Vicksburg and Baton Rouge. General
Breckinridge has command of the troops on the
Opposite side of the river, at Monroe, Louisiana,
and is marching to capture the Yankee batteries
over there, and to prevent supplies reaching the
Yankee fleet. The whole of the Yankee went
down the river yesterday for the
purpose of se-
curing our batteries at Baton Rouge, but I am
happy to say they have a very poor chance cf
doing so, as we have re-opened the batteries
on both sides of the river, and are mounting
more guns and erecting new fortifications. There
is no doubt that we made a brilliant stroke in
the recapture of that :town. Meanwhile a large
light artillery force has been stationed on the
banks of the river, with orders to attack all
transports and Yankees boats that attempt to pans.
So you see Yankees have got their paw in the
wrong pot' this time.

" 5 P.M.

" News has just arrived that Van Dorn sent
the following answer to Farragut, commanding
United States' fleet above and below Vicksburg :
" Your communication, under flag of truce, has
been received. In answer, I beg to say that the only
way you shall pass my batteries is at the mouth of
the cannon.

"E. VAN BORN.

A letter from Washington says :
" A rebel officer has just been arrested in

EXTRAO.RDINARY MURDER OF A.

CIIIL.D.

On Saturday forenoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for
Central Middlesex, prosecuted an inquiry at the
Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town,
touching the death of an infant, aged about five or
six weeks, found alive in a bandbox at a railway
station under extrasrdinary circumstances.
Edward Emery, office-porter on the London and
North-Western Roilway at Euston-square station,
deposed that he was called on Thursday at three
p.m. to take charge of a bandbox left in a water-
closet at the station, which was covered with two
wrapping cloths, and careftlly tied up with a cord.
An address was written on paper in a bold hand,
and sewed upon the outer wrapper as follows :
" To the Lady Warden of St. Michael's School, Bog-
nor, Essex." On opening the bandbox he found in
it a living male child. He went for medical aid
' without loss of time, and eventually the deceased
was removed to St. Pancras Workhouse Infirmary.
A female nurse of the infant ward of the work-
house infirmary, named Champe, said she took
charge of the child about nine o clock the same
night. It then appeared to be dying, and expired
about three hours afterwards. Every effort wa.c.'
made to save its life.
Mr. W. Sowerby, surgeon of St. Pancras inflr,
mart', stated that he attended the deceased after it
had been received into the infirmary, between nine
and ten o'clock. It was pulseless and very cold,
breathing but three times a minute instead of some
twenty-four times, as a child of that age ought to
do. A note was sent from a medical man called in
at the railway station, stating the treatment he
had given it before removal, to the effect that he
had given the child port wine and water and coffee
injections, and also port wine and water by the
mouth ; that the child appeared to be suffering
from narcotic poisoning. Witness set up artificial
respiration, but it sank and died a few minutes
before twelve. The result of a post mortem exami -
nation showed that deceased was five or six weeks
old, and died from compression of the brain and
overflow of blood in the vessels, produced no doubt
from the narcotic poisonous effects of carbonic acid.
caused by close confinement in the bandbox. He
analysed the contents of the stomach for morphia,
&c., but could find none.
Verdict, " Wilful murder" against some person
or persons unknown.

ITALY.

The following order of the day has been issued
by Col. Medici, late lieutenant and intimate friend
of Garibaldi, to the National Guard of Palermo, ot
which he is at present the Commander :
"`ltaly and Victor Emmanuel Such is Gari-
baldi's programme, as well as that of the King ot
Italy's Government. Between those who profess
the same purpose, the only difference that can exist
is that of the means to be employed ; it is a family
question, which I trust may soon be settled. The
National Guard, whose duty it is to be above every
party, must rally round its chiefs and behave with
firmness, so that family misunderstandings may not
degenerate in a fratricidal war. Relying on the
patriotism of the National Guard, I feel confident
that I shall be enabled to fulfil my mission, uphold
order and liberty, and thus restore that calm and
confidence which is indispensable to the social life of
this city, which has deserved so well of Italy.

realising from £l5 to .£2O a-day for the fund—by
no means an insignificant amount. He has only

20 times as much. On Saturday, however, he

LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE SIR NV. C. ANSTRUTHER. BART.
This wa, an adjourn d meeting for last examination and
dischar e. Tne debts due to unsecured creditors, £2,13J;
recured, £85,100. The property held in security was a
property in Scotland, and the case had been adjourned for
an inquiry as to whether the bankrupt's interest would not
pay the whole of the creditors in full.
Mr. Aldridge (as Crown solicitor) said he had made in-
quiries through the agents in Scotland, and had been In-
formed that the debts to secured creditors would absorb the
whole of the bankrupt's life-interest in the estate; but the
unsecured creditors had expressed a strong desire that the
bankrupt should pass his examination and receive his dis-
charge.
Passed and order granted.

ITALY.

The following order of the day has been issued
by Col. Medici, late lieutenant and intimate friend
of Garibaldi, to the National Guard of Palermo, of
which he is at present the Commander :
" Italy and Victor Emmanuel !' Such is Gari-
baldi's programme, as well as that of the King of
Italy's Government. Between those who profess
the same purpose, the only difference that can exist
is that of the means to be employed ; it is a family
question, which I trust may soon be bettlect. The
National Guard, whose duty it is to be above every
party, must rally round its chiefs and behave with
firmness, se that family misunderstandings may not
degenerate in a fratricidal war. Relying on the
patriotism of the National Guard, I feel confident
that I shall be enabled to fulfil my mission, uphold
order and liberty, and thus restore that calm and
confidence which is indispensable to the social life of
this city, which has deserved so well of Italy.

THAMES.

THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.—An incorrigible offen-
der, Ellen White, a smartly dressed, and very impudent
girl, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with
robbing her parents.
The prisoner was before the magistrate some time ago,
and she was then charged with obtaining goods and
money under false pretences of tradesmen, and after
a week's remand she expressed her sorrow for what
she had done, and to behave better in future.
She was then discharged with an admonition. Lat-
terly the prisoner had relapsed into bad courses, and
her last act was to steal a shirt valued at 3s. 6d. belonging
to her father, which she sold to a " leaving shop" keeper
for Bd. A man named Johnson, who gave, or rather lent,
this Bd. on the shirt, said he intended to let the prisoner
have the shirt again.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

11Ir. Selfe commented on the conduct of Johnson, the
proprietor of the leaving shop, and said that such placea
ought not to be tolerated. He was afraid the prisoner wag
a very bad girl. She was charged with many frauds a
long while ago, and then was very mercifully, too merci-
fully treated. He was afraid the prisoner would come to
great grief. He sentenced her to three months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY--William Tizzard, a well-known
thief, a returned convict, and considered by the police to be
the most desperate ruffian in the district, was brought be-
fore Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch, value
£3 108., from the person of an American seaman, named
Wood.

The prosecutor said he was coming out of the Kettle and
Drum publio•house on Saturday night, at a quarter past 11
o'clock, when he saw the prisoner, who put his arm across
his breast, at the same time he heard a "clock" and missed
his watch. A shipmate said " There goes the man who took
your watch." The prisoner was then pursued and caught.
Mr. Selfe—Your watch was not caught ?
Witness—No, sir, it was not.
John Battye, a seaman, saw the prisoner take his ship-
mate's watch and pursued him.

The prisoner on being called On for his defence, said he
holiest employment, but no one
hwaodulrdepgeivaetehdilmy swork,ought
Mr. Selfe—The consequences of your former dishonesty.
I am sorry you could not obtain work if you really sought
it, which I very much doubt.
Former convictions against the prisoner Were made out
He was committed to Newgate for trial.

METROPOLITAN UNDERGROUND

RAILIVAY.

On Saturday evening the completion of that por-
tion of the Metropolitan Underground Railway ex-
tending from Paddington to Gower-street Station
was celebrated by the contractors, Messrs. Smith
and Knight, giving a dinner to the men engaged
at work. A platform was thrown across from one
side of the station to the other, and there the tables
for the feast were laid. Upwards of 600 men sat
down to dinner, and were presided over by Mr.
Smith, the senior partner of the firm.
Among those present were Mr Roebuck, the con-
tractor's manager ; Mr. Henchman, the secretary
to the company ; Mr. Johnson, the resident
engineer; and several ladies and gentlemen.
The several loyal and,patriotic toasts were drunk
with musical honours.

The Chairman then said they had met that even-
ing to celebrate the completion of that end of the
Metropolitan Railway, and having spent three
years on the works they might say at that end
that they had done their work very creditably.
(Hear, hear.) He employed the best men that
could be found in England; and when he said that

it meant the best men that could be found in the
world. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that that line
would be considered, what it really was, one of the
best undertakings in the world, and that it would
prove highly remunerative to those who had so
liberally subscribed their money to so vast a work.
Cheers.)
Mr. Henchman said it had afforded him very
great pleasure to meet the men that evening, and
it was a congratulation to them all that that great
work had been brought to a conclusion without
the loss of a single life from accident. (Hear,
hear.) That result was owing to the great precau-
tions taken by their masters for their preservation.
(Hear, hear.) As long as that work hung together
it would be a credit to all who worked at it. (Hear,
hear.) He was sure he would have every man
with him when he asked them to drink " The health
of Messrs. Smith and Knight."
The toast was drunk with tremendous cheering
and musical honours.
ohe nso
foreman
" The Healths of Mr. T• M. J
h
t
engineer, and "Mr. Armstrong,,,
of the works, were drunk with great enthusiasm
and duly acknowledged.
