belonging to Mr. Edward Butterworth, situate in Henry-
street, Great Ancoats-street, Manchester, was discovered
to bo on fire. It contained a large quantity of twine, and
materials for the manufacture of cordage, which, being
of a combustible nature, got great hold before the bri-
gade arriyed. Fortunately, they were enabled to pre-
serve the surrounding nroli'erty, but the warehouse and
contents Were destroyed, the damage amounting to not.
less than 4,0001., but covered by insurance. •

with which he had been entrusted, containing 36/. He
made no defence, and stands remanded for the produc;
tion of a necessary witness.

SIGNOR TA3IBURINI.—The friends and admirers of
Signor Tamburini—and who that have ever hard or
known him are not among the number—will be glad
to hear that he is enjoying a true °awn cuin dignitate,
at Sevres, where he has for many years been the pro-
prietor of a most elegant villa, the artistic beauties of
which are the result of his own taste and direction.
It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Seine,
just below Bellevue, a name which would be more ap-
propriate to itself, since it commands a fine panoramic
view of Paris and the adjacent country. The name, how-
ever, by which it is known in the neighbourhood is the
Palais Tamburini, and a very appropriate one, too.
With him and Madame reside Signor Madame Gardoni,
another daughter and son, and a goodly array of bloom-
ing grandchildren. On the occasion of the magnificent
fetes last month, the Signor very handsomely gave his
services to lead and enrich the choir at the celebration
of high mass.
THEATRE ROYAL, HULL—MR. WEBSTER AND MA-
DAME CELESTE.—This beautiful theatre, in Humber-
street, has, during the present week, been nightly the
receptacle of numerously-attended audiences, assembled
to witness the performances of these world-wide celebri-
ties, Mr. Benjamin Webster, lessee, and Madame Ce-
leste, directress, of the well-known Adelphi. On Mon-
day evening Madame Celeste appeared in Buckstone's
masterpiece, the drama of the The Green Bushes ; or a
Hundred Years Ago ; herself performing the character
of Miami, the huntress of the Mississippi, and as a ne-
cessary sequence, that of Madame St. Aubert also. This
talented lady's acting throughout was marked with
grace, ease, and dignity, and at the close of her per-
formances was summoned before the curtain amidst the
loud plaudits of the house. Mrs. Raymond, a neat,
lively little actress, was an efficient representative of
.Nelly O'Neil, the late Mrs. Fitzwilliam's celebrated cha-
racter ; and Mr. R. Ross an excellent Muster Grinnidge.
After the drama, Mr. Benjamin Webster appeared as
Captain Sans Soucie, and Madame Celeste as Helen de
Montereau, in the amusing comedy of Flying Colours ;
or, Crossing the Frontier. On Tuesday, and the two
following evenings, Mr. Webster and Madame Celeste
appeared in a round of favourite characters, and they
will make their last appearance this evening.—Hull
Packet.
ACCIDENT AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE, GLASGOW.—On
Saturday night last, while the performers in the Queen's
Theatre were performing the Courier of Lyons for the
first time, one of the company, named Beaumont Hughes,
was severely wounded in the hand by the accidental dis-
charge of a pistol ho had in his possession. The per-
formance was in consequence suddenly brought to a
close for the evening.—North British Daily Mail.
'THE GAME SEASON.—It is acknowledged by all sports-
men that the game this season is most abundant. The
coveys of partridges round this neighbourhood are very
large, many having not less than from 15 to 30 each.
On the Mode lands, and around the extensive parishes
of Worfield, Claverley, the friends of the trigger have
incessant work ; the only drawback the past week has
been from the excessive heat.—Shrewsbury Journal.

MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The cotton waste and
rag mill of Mr. Edmund Butterworth, Ancoats, Man-
chester, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, in-
vorving a loss of 5,0001., which is covered by insurances-
in the Defender-office. But for the strenuous exertions
of Mr. Rose and a strong body of the fire brigade under
his command, much of the surrounding property would
have been destroyed ; fortunately they wero able to save
it with some little damage—more from the water than
the fire. The origin of the fire is not known.

NEW TRIALS IN THE SUPERIOR COURTS.—On and after
the 24th October an important alteration will take place
with respect to new trials in the superior courts. No
now trial is to be granted by reason of the ruling of any
judge that the stamp upon any document is sufficient,
or that the document does not require a stamp. In every
rule nisi for a new trial, or to enter a verdict or nonsuit
the grounds upon which such rule is granted shall be
shortly stated therein. This is a decided improvement,
as parties will know the grounds on which the rules are
tamed, and the plaintiffs will have to confine them-
selves to the points set forth. In all cases of rules to
alter a verdict or nonsuit, upon a point reserved at the
trial, if the rule to show cause be refused or granted,
and then discharged or made absolute, the party decided
against may appeal. No appeal is to be allowed unless
notice be given in writing within four days of the decision,
or such further time as may be allowed. Notice of ap-
peal is to be a stay of execution, provided bail be given
to pay the sum recovered and costs in like manner, as
bail in Error, within eight days of the decision com-
plained of, or before execution is delivered to the sheriff.
The Court of Appeal is to have power to adjudge the
payment of costs, and to order restitution, and to have
.the- same powers as the Court of Error. The Court of
Error, the Exchequei Chamber, and the House of Lords
are to be the Court of Appeal under the act,

" VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING.

" Omer Pacha received at Bucharest, on the
22d, the following despatch, dated Old Fort, the
17th, and signed by Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord

Raglan :

" I`'° beg leave to inform your Highness that
wo have disembarked successfully to the north of
'Sebastopol.

" The enemy offered no opposition as we occu
pied our positions.

" ' This circumstance has produced the most pro-
found impression on the Tartar population, who do
not conceal their sympathy for our cause.

" All our guns and materiel have been landed,
and we march on Sebastopol with every confidence
in the success of our grand enterprise.' "
The following is another despatch :
VIENNA, MONDAY, SEPT. 25.

Advices from Kronstadt (Transylvania), of the
25th, confirm the successful landing of the Allies in
the Crimea on the 14th.

An engagement was expected on the 20th.
The inhabitants of the Crimea willingly supply
the troops with provisions.
The troops are confident of victory.
Their health is good.

A letter from Vienna says :—" The troops were
landed with incredible rapidity, and at nine in the
morning 15,000 men were already on the shore.
The sappers, aided by detachments of infantry,
cleared the beach of all the obstacles which the
Russians had placed there, and began to repair
the roads, which the Russians had everywhere
destroyed. It was not yet noon when the ad-
vance guards put themselves in movement for
Sebastopol by two different roads, that of Simfe-
ropol and that of Baltchi-Serai. At four in the
afternoon, at the departure of the second advice-
boat, the landing was almost terminated. The
Russians appear to occupy positions in the moun-
tainous grounds near Simferopol. The inhabitants
in the village of the neighbourhood of Cape Baha
arrived on the shore, and showed great astonish-
ment, but manifested no intentions of resistance.'
