DEsTRUGIirIVIL FIRE IN MANCHUbTER.-About one
o'clock on Sunday morning, a large five storey warehouse,
belonging to Mr. Ed ward Butterworth, situate in Henry-
street, Great Ancoats-street, Manchester, was discovered
to be on fire. It contained a large quantity of twine, and
materials for the manufacture of cordage, which, being
of a combustible nature, got ()Teat hold before the bri-
gade arrived. Fortunately, they were enabled to pre-
serve the surrounding property, but the warehouse and
contents were destroyed, the damage amounting to not
less than 4,0001., but covered by insurance.
ROBBERY BY A RAILWAY GUARD.—At the Manchester
police-court, on Monday, James Hollingworth, lately a
guard in the service of the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincolnshire Railway Company, was charged with hav-
ing absconded, on the Ist of August, with two parcels,
with which he had been entrusted, containing 361. He
made no defence, and stands remanded for the produc-
tion of a necessary witness.
SIGNOR TAIIBURINI.—The friends and admirers of
Signor Tamburini—and who that have over hard or
known him are not among the number—will be glad
to hear that he is enjoying a true °awn cons 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 ♦ery appropri .te 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 ♦ery handsomely gave his
services to lead and enrich the choir at the celebration
of high mass.
THEATRB 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'e
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. It. Boss an excellent Muster Grinnidge.
After the drama, Mr. Benjamin Webster appeared as
Captain Sans Soacie, 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 character, 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 he 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 ♦ery
large, many having not less than from 15 to 30 each.
On the Morfe 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 FIRB.—The cotton waste and
rag mill of Mr. Edmund Butterworth, Ancoats, Man-

chester, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, in-
♦olving 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 were able to save
it with some little damage—more from the water than
the fire. The origin of the fire is not known.

NRW 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
new 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,
parties will know the grounds on which the rules are
obtained, 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 Exchequer Chamber, and the House of Lords
a►re to he the Court of Appeal under the act,
