Dr. Spinks said this was a suit instituted fora dissolu-

tion of marriage by reason of the wife's adultery wsth the

In this case, in which a decree for judicial separation on
the ground of cruelty had been obtained by the wife.
Dr. Spinks moved for an order for "permanent alimony.
the petitioner had been all, eived £250 a-year alimony,
pendente litre, and it was now asked for an increase. The
petitioner was a collector of waste cotton, and carried on a
very lucrative business, but he had since disposed of it, and
as it was believed the transfer was fraudulent, it was desired
to contest the question. The petitioner had one child, and
she also desired to have the charge of the respondent's child
by his first wife.

The Judge said, looking at the income of the respon-
dent, he felt justified in ordering 4400 a year permanent
alimony, but with regard to the child by the first mar-
riage he could make no order, as the petitioner was a
volunteer.

Order for payment of £4OO a-yoar accordingly.

DREADFUL TIRES AND LOSS 017 LIFE.
(THIS DAY.)

This (Tuesday) morning three fires occurred in various
parts of the metropolis, and unfortunately one was attended
with a loss of life. One fire happened in the well-known
and extensive premises, belonging to Mr. C. J. Freak,
builder, situate in Onslow-square, Brompton. The flames
commenced in a long timber building, 150 feet long, used
as mason's workshops, and was occasioned by the beat of
the fire-place. Information of the outbreak having been
sent in all directions for the engines, and in the course of a
very brief period three of the brigade engines arrived, and
one from the International building, by Shand and
Mason, only taken in the last Week of the building being
open to the public, and two parish engines were also quickly
attended. A good supply of the Chelsea Company's water
having been obtained, the firemen and parish engines were
set to work in an admirable manner, and by great exertion
they succeeded in saving the whole of the remaining por-
tion of the extensive property, but the building in which
the disaster commenced was about the third destroyed.
The building and the contents were insured, it is supposed,
in the Royal Exchange Fire-office.
A fire took place sometime previously in the premises
of No. 15, Edward-place, Seymour-street, let out to several
families. The flames commenced from some unknown
cause in the back room ground floor. The engines of the
parish and London Brigade were soon in attendance, but
owing to the exertions of the inmates and strangers the
flames had been previously extinguished, when a most dis-
tressing scene presented itself, for an unfortunate aged
female, who had passed her 60th year, was found burned
in a most fearful manner. Medical aid was obtained, but
life was quite extinct. The body remains for an inquest to
be held.

Another fire happened about two hours previously in the
premises of Mr. E. Durrell, 118, Howard-road, Stoke
Newington. The engines of the parish and London Bri-
gade soon attended, but the fire was not extinguished until
the lower part of the premises were burnt out and the upper
part severely damaged. The cause of the fire is unknown,

A new mode of engraving and printing bank
notes has been brought forward by Messrs. Ashby and
Co., which is asserted to possess the recommendations-
1. That they cannot be photographed, as the black printing
is interlaced, in an extremely complicated manner, with
another colour ; 2. That the note plates cannot be copied,
the ornamental engraving being executed by a machine
from a matrix arbitrarily formed and made intricate by
transposition in kaleidoscope fashion ; and 3. That note
plates engraved by such a matrix cannot be produced again
by the engravers without the matrix, so that if that is de-
trued, or handed to the custody of the bankers, they hold
their own security.

CRINOLINE.—An inquest was held on Saturday
at the Sheffield Public Hospital, by tho deputy coroner, on
the body of a young married woman, named Sarah Swift,
who had died on the previous day. It appeared from the
evidence of the husband of the deceased that a few days
ago he and his wife were in the house together, and that he
left her in the kitchen, attending to the baking of some
bread, while he went upstairs. After he had been absent
for a few minutes he heard his wife scream out in a dread-
ful manner, and on rushing downstairs be saw her standing
in the room enveloped in flames. With great presence of
mind he wrapped a woollen rug round her, and succeeded
in putting out the flames at a great risk to himself. Assist-
ance was procured, and the poor woman was removed to
the hospital, where the surgeon found she had sustained
extensive injuries. She died on Friday. She was not able
to give any clear account of the manner in which her
clothes caught fire, but she would be obliged to pass the
fire frequently while looking after the baking, and there is
no doubt her clothes were pushed against the bars by the
aw shortas wearing.
