rail from Liverpool, received by Keeling and Hunt, sold

ward this season, and the parcel intended fur this week's

Act.

Lieut.-General Sir Edward Blakeney, Commander of
the Forces, has returned from Portrush to the Royal
Hospital, perfectly recovered from the late accident on
his tour of inspection in the north of Ireland.

ZULU KAFIRS, ST. GEORGE'S GALLERY.—We observe

where they will give their remarkable exhibition of
savage life for a week only, previous to their departure
for one of the most popular theatres of Paris ; and it is
announced by the proprietors that in order to enable all
classes of the public to avail themselves of this very li-

THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-LANE:—
Yesterday the directors of this excellent institution
caused notices to be extensively circulated, Inviting all
who might be attacked with cholera to apply there
for assistance. Similar notices were issued at the Free
Hospital, Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT HALIFAX. —On Tuesday even-
ing a fire broke out in the extensive mill premises of
Messrs. R. Whitworth and Co. Lee Bridge, on the
Halifax and Reighley road. The mill was six storeys
high, and had attached to it a large weaving shed and
extensive warehouses. The fire was first discovered
about 7 o'clock, in the fourth story, and when the engines
arrived, nearly an hour after, the flames had made great
progress. Although the firemen made great efforts, they
were all but unavailing, and in a short time the roof fell
in with a great crash. The telegraph was worked for
extra engines from other towns, but, notwithstanding
every effort, all except some low buildings were de-
stroyed. The excitement was intense, some 20,000 per-
sons being congregated on the surrounding hills. Nothing
but bare blackened walls remain. The damage is esti-
mated at a considerable amount. The stock and ma-
chinery are insured in various offices for 34,000/. By this
calamitous event 14,000 hands are thrown out of em-
ployment. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.
MODEL LODGING-HOUSES.— Miss Burdett Coutts has
offered to contribute the liberal sum of 1001. towards
the establishment of a model lodging-house for families
in Dublin, and a yearly donation of 51. for the purpose
of helping to form an industrial education school, to be
attached to it.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C.—
An accident, which might have been attended with very
serious consequences, happened to this gentleman on
Tuesday, while hunting in the Downs with the Worth-
ing harriers. His horse, a very valuable one, suddenly
fell down dead, and is supposed to have ruptured some
vessel of the heart. The animal, in falling, rolled upon
Mr. James, who was removed from the Downs to the
house of Mr. John Day, the trainer, at Findon, in a
state of insensibility. Mr. James, though seriously
bruised and injured by the fall, it is hoped will be
speedily convalescent.
