NOTTINGHAMSHIRE V. ALL ENGLAND.

Yesterday morning this match was resumed, and, as
will be found, was brought to a termination adverse to
" All England," who upon the first innings had the
advantage by 45 runs. There are those in " England"
who have said that Clarke's slow bowling is "bosh,"
and that Bickley is "no great things." What will they
say now ? At the close of the match the final score pre-
sented this appearance, by which it will be found that
" All England" were defeated by 27 runs, although the
respective scores were but small.

THE GREAT FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—The worst antici-
pations have been fully realised. The immense building
is a complete ruin. A heavy stock of cotton has been
entirely destroyed, and upwards of a thousand hands are
thrown out of work. The fire can only be said to have
really lasted two hours, but at its climax, about half-past
10 o'clock, the sight was one of the most astounding
grandeur. For an hour before the heavens had been
illuminated, and an immense concourse (we should
not be wrong, we are sure, if we estimated them at
10,000) assembled at the scene of the disaster. The
unfortunate factory, with the exception of the dark out-
line of walls not yet fallen, seemed one mass of burnished
gold. The police arrangements were excellent, and
the multitude were most obedient. In some neighbour-
hoods, and those where it would be least suspected, it is
astonishing how susceptible people are of police control.
As to the origin of the fire, it is, of course, at present
involved in mystery ; but we believe that during the
cessation of the ordinary labour some bricklayers and
joiners had been employed, and that they were working
last evening up till 8 o'clock. The mill, machinery, and
stock which it contained, we have heard roughly esti-
mated as of the value of nearly 60,000/., and insurances
in a great variety of offices have been effected, it is un-
derstood, to nearly the full amount. Undoubtedly, in
one sense, the greatest loss is that sustained by the 1,000
workpeople so unexpectedly thrown out of bread,---a
state of things which will necessarily be felt among all
the tradesmen and shopkeepers of the district.
CONTINENTAL SPECULATIONS. The commercial
advices from the continent continue to possess little in-
terest. Speculation is active on the Paris Bourse, and
the fluctuations are considerable. From the west of
France it is mentioned, with regard to the prospects of
this year's harvest, that the growing crops of every de-
scription are decidedly backward, and that in many in-
stances the young wheat is meagre and looks unhealthy.
On the whole, however, there seems to be no rea-
son for any particular apprehensions. Stocks had
been reduced to a low point, owing to sales for the
Paris market, where prices are much higher than at
N. antes, but the exportation to England from that sec-
ton of of the country was less extensive than usual. The
Vienna letters give the details respecting the increase
of the capital of the Austrian Bank. Each holder of an
old share is to be entitled to a new one of 800 florins,
to be paid by a deposit of 10 per cent., and subsequent
instalments spread over four months, interest at 4 per
cent. being allowed for prepayment. From St. Peters-
burgh the dates are to the 10th of May, when, owing
to warm rainy weather, the navigation was about to
open. The Odessa advices refer to the active shipments
going on, the extent of exportation being unprecedented
at this early period of the season.
