THE MEMORIAL TO THE PRINCE CONSORT IN
HYDE-PARK.--The granite blocks for the base and
pedestal of the memorial to his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort have been received by the contractor—Mr. Kelk—
from the quarries of the Scottish Granite Company, in the
Isle of Mull. They are now at Limehouse. From their
enormous size and weight, the transit to their destination
will be an operation of public interest.
THE LIBERAL CANDIDATES FOR WINDSOR.—
Yesterday evening a great meeting of the Liberal electors
of the borough of New Windsor was held at the public
rooms, High-street, for the purpose of introducing Mr.
Labouchere (who, with Mr. E. F. Flower, of Stratford-
upon-Avon, intends to contest the borough with Colonel
Vyse and Mr, Vansittart, the present sitting members at
the next election) to that portion of the constituency. Mr.
H. Driver, the chairman of the Liberal committee, pre-
sided, while among those present were Mr. Flower, the
other candidate, who had already presented himself to the
electors of Windsor, Mr. Hall Saye, Captain Seymour, Mr.
Darvill, Mr. R. Ekyn, &c. The room was greatly crowded
by the principal Liberals in the town, who had assembled
to hear Mr. Labouchere's political views.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE THEATRE ROYAL,
EDINBURGH.—The unfortunate people who losttheir
lives through the destruction of the Theatre Royal, Edin-
burgh, by fire, are—Mr. G. Lorimer, dean of guild, aged
54 ; Mr. J. Taylor, builder, St. James's-square, age un-
Imown ; Mr. T. H. Leeke, Union-place, clerk to Mr. Tod,
painter, Dundas-street, aged 26 ; J. Clark, mason, Middle
Arthur-place, aged 67, and who had served 18 years in the
fire brigade; Bernard M'Vie, labourer, Lawnmarket, aged
36 ; George Sweeney, gentleman's servant, 15, Leopold-
place, aged 67. As stated yesterdays Mr. Lorimer was
killed while bravely endeavouring -to save others ; for,
although begged to come away from the spot, he persisted
in remaining. As a mark of public esteem, a public
funeral will be given to him. A meeting of the inhabi-
tants was to be held yesterday, to consider what steps
should be taken for the relief of the sufferers. The origin
of the fire is ascribed to a mishap which occurred
in the lighting of the top shifts preparatory to the
first juvenile night performance of the pantomime.
The gasman had been putting in the lights at a
reduced flame, and had lit one of the upper borders, when,
in travelling along the second, the drapery, which, it would
appear, was insufficiently protected, took fire. It is said
that a similar occurrence had taken place on some previous
occasions, but that by cutting off the burning edge all dan-
ger had been averted. In making a like attempt on this
occasion, the gasman did not succeed. The fireman, who
was in the house, had recourse to the moveable hose, but
was unable to overtake the rapidly-spreading flame. The
total loss is estimated at 12,000/., of which 2,0001. repre-
sents the damage to the Roman Catholic church.

HEALTH OF SCOTLAND.—The Registrar-General
reports the deaths in the eight principal towns of Scotland
in the month of December (2,412)t0 be the-average number;
but 31 per cent. of them have to be recorded as due to the
zymotic (epidemic and contagious) class of diseases. Typhus
fever caused more than 10 per cent. of the whole mortality ;
in Paisley 12.5 per cent., and in Greenock as much as 20 per
cent. This has been the most severe epidemic of typhus fever
Which has has existed in Scotland for many years. 91 deaths

Loss OF A RUSSIAN BRIG AND NINE MEN. —A
Russian brig, the Ilma, 197 tons, went ashore on Friday
night, or early on Saturday morning, near Etaples, France.
Nine men were lost. The captain and a boy were saved.
The brig is supposed to have been laden with coffee. The
vessel has gone to pieces.
Mr. Seymour Huffham, the respected representa-
tive of Baron Rothschild at Lloyd's, met with an accident
yesterday afternoon by being knocked down by a cab in
front of the Mansion House ; but we are happy to say he
was not much hurt, although from his age, upwards of 84,
it is hared ho may puffer from the offocts of tho shock.
