A few days ago Mr. Superintendent Braidwood made
his annual report of the fires in London during 1853.
The document is extremely voluminous, and states, inter
aria, the following :
"The fires in 1853 as compared with 1852 have de-
creased by 23 ; but, on the average of 20 preceding
years, the increase is 24.
"The number of fires in the list of totally destroyed'
shows a decrease of 5 as compared with 1852 ; and on
the average of the 28 years, a decrease of 5.7 ; but, when
the increased number of fires is taken into account, the
decrease on the avanorge of the 20 years is 10.
" Of those totally destroyed nine were from two to six
miles from the nearest station.
" The conduct of the firemen has been quite equal to
that shown by them in any former year, and I cannot
avoid noticing the hearty goodwill with which all their
work is done, and which makes their exertions so much
more valuable than mere eye service ; not a little of this
spirit is due to the example set by the officers whom the
committee have placed under me, especially the four
foremen.
"The steam floating-engine has done all that was ex-
pected from her during the past year, and contributed to
lessen the list of 'totally destroyed.' When near enough
to work both engines, the 'steam-float' is more useful
than twelve land engines. The Tower float is as for-
merly ; the engines are in excellent order, but the hull
more decayed and more patched than it was a year ago.
"The number of fires from the Ist of January to the
31st of December, 1853, was as follows :
"Fires at which the premises were totally destroyed
and considerably damaged, 261 ; ditto, slightly, ditto,
639 ; making a total of 900.
" The foregoing statement does not include chimneys
on fire, known to be so, but only such as are known to
be fires."
The following is the list of fires, and the trades carried
on in the premises, during the year 1853 :
"Apothecaries and dealers in drugs, but no chemical
works carried on, 2 ; bagnios, 4 ; akers, 18 ; ditto,
pie, 1 ; booksellers, binders, and stationers, 14 ; basket-
makers, 3 ; barge and boat builder, 1 ; bacon-dryer, 1 ;

Among the most destructive fires during the year were
the following :
" A house of 10 rooms in Howard-terrace, Walworth-
I road, which was destroyed from want of water ; two
houses in New Church-road, St. Pancras, completely on
fire before the arrival of the engines ; a large timber
wheelwright's workshop, in Emmanuel-court, Red Cross-
street, Borough ; a japanner's workshop and drying
stoves, at Kneith-terrace, Mile-end, totally destroyed—
two miles from the nearest engine-station of Brigade.
The next completely destroyed was an unfinished house
at Forest-hill, six miles from the nearest station. An
unfinished house of eight rooms, at Bromley, was the
next wholly destroyed—four miles from the nearest sta-
tion. Two unfinished houses, in the Harrow-road, two
miles front the nearest station, were the next that were
destroyed. The Circus, in Islington-fields, is described
as being the next large fire, which was two miles from
the nearest station. On September 9 the great fire oc-
curred at Scott Russell and Co.'s, at Millwall, which
was three miles from the nearest station. The
next great fire was in the Finchley-road, three miles
front the nearest station, where an unfinished house
was destroyed. It is a singular fact that the next fire
where the property was wholly destroyed was in the
East India-road, Poplar, two miles from the nearest
station, where three timber cottages were burnt and
pulled down. On Christmas•day a licensed victualler's
house, in the Whitechapel-road, after being partly burnt,
fell down and nearly buried the firemen. On the 26th
of December a very large fire took place in Upper
Thames-street. The building was an old sugar-house,
used as a rag and paper-warehouse, which was com-
pletely on fire before the arrival of the engines. The
next extensive fire happened the following morning in
Hill street, Finsbury, which was likewise completely on
fire before the arrival of the engines, and when they got
to the scene the water was very scanty. The next large
fire was at a timber building in Great Winchester-street,
London-wall, used as an upholsterer's workshop, which
were burnt down on the 29th of December. Two days
afterwards a fire -destroyed a building 50 by 30, at
Plough-bridge, Rotherhithe, used as a turpentine
; and the same night followed the largest fire of
any during the year—viz., that in Bread-street, Cheap-
side, where ninny thousand pounds' worth of property
was destroyed, the buildings burnt out, and several
others damaged."

John Hart, foreman to Messrs. Kirk and Perry, said
he had the superintendence of the masons employed by
the firm at the Crystal Palace works, and recollected the
complainant coming to him on Monday last and saying
he supposed he should have to pay the money for his re-
admission into the union or leave his work. Re (wit-
ness) told him that he did not interfere in such matters
so long as they did their work. This was on the Mon-
day evening, and the next morning the defendant and
another mason named Cummings waited on him as a
deputation from the men, and said Wilcock had made
use of very offensive language, and therefore they did
not wish to work with so disagreeable a shopmate. On
the same day at dinner-time, or rather some time after,
on going on to the works he saw all the men standing
except Wilcock, who was at the work, and on asking
what was the cause, he was told Wilcock. He did not
know what to do under such circumstances, but thought
the best course was to discharge Wilcock, and he did so.
Mr. Norton That is to say, that though you told the
complainant you should not interfere so long as they did
their business, you acted in perfect violation of that
assertion, by discharging the man who was doing his
work, and sacrificing him to the caprice of the 20 or 30
persons who had not gone to their work, and who had
conspired to get rid of him. In answer to the questions
of the magistrate, the witness admitted that he had been
a member of the union himself when he was a working
man. The complainant, he said, was not a first-rate
hand, and he should have discharged him if he could get
a better.
John Cummings, an Irishman, laboured hard to im-
press upon the magistrate's mind that the society to
which the complainant was required to contribute was
only a benefit society ; but on being questioned by Mr.
Norton, he admitted that part of its funds were devoted
to the strike.

Symes—What he's been saying is all false. Boyd
brought the pin to me and asked me what it was worth,
and I pledged it for him for four shillings in my own
name. It doesn't stand to reason that I should do that
if I thought it was stolen. I know nothing about all
the rest he has been saying.
Floyd reserved his defence, merely saying, I know
nothing at ail about it.
Mr. Henry then committed the prisoners for trial.

PEMBROKE DOCKYARD, JAN. 21.
The arrangements for the construction of Her Ma-
jesty's new steam-yacht at this yard are fast progressing.
The slip on which the great Duke of Wellington was
built has been prepared for the purpose, and, as it was
not long enough for the yacht, it has been lengthened
temporarily some 30 feet. The shed, likewise, is to be
made to cover her. It has been decided that she shall
be made of mahogany, and large stores have been pro-
vided for the purpose. The Rhadamanthus, Master
Commander John Belam, brings round from the eastern
ports a large quantity of converted timber. She is to
be built upon the diagonal planking system, and will be
named the Windsor Castle. As soon as possible, a great
portion of the dockyard strength will be placed upon
her, so as to expedite her construction as much as pos-
sible before the summer. Her lines, it is said, promise
both speed and beauty ; the following are her principal
dimensions :
Length over all..
Length of keel ..
Breadth of beam
Depth of hold
If
Her estimated tonnage is 2,340, and she is to be fitted
with paddlewheels. Her engines are to be from the firm
of Penn and Co., upon their new oscillating principle,
and they will realise from 23 to 28 revolutions, which
will produce a speed of 15 knots, or about 17 statute
miles per hour. The cylinder has a diameter of 84 inches,
with a piston strok-i of' 7 feet, and the diameter of the
paddlewheel will be 30 feet. A large amount of horse-
power to tonnage is expected to be given, in order to
secure the high rate of speed calculated upon.

CLERKENWELL.—Mrs. Mary Mizen, a lady re-
siding at No. 8, Southgate•road, Islington, was charged,
on a warrant, with assaulting Mr. John Orick Kennard,
a draper, of Deptford.
The complainant stated that on Wednesday morning
last, between ten and eleven o'clock, he called at her
house for 101. 10s., being the amount of rent due from
her to him in respect to the premises she had formerly
occupied in Lucas-place, Hoxton. A note of the bank
of England for 101. was given to him by her servant in
part payment, and on his mentioning that he must have
10s. more, the girl went out of the room and returned
with her mistress, who was in her night-dress, and five
or six young ladies similarly attired, all of whom imme-
diately "pitched into him," and "pummelled" him right
and left, until he was forced to give up the 101., after
which they flung him out of the house. (Much laughter.)
Mr. Tyrwhitt (smilingly) —And that was the way they
paid you the rent ?
Complainant—lt was, indeed.

NOTTINGHAM, Jan. 19.—The two principal trosleser
1o o , the town have been visited by about the average nuln b 0 of buyers, yet the sales made have not been
to so Jar°4
an extent in either lace or hosiery.

Other witnesses of a similar character were called, and
it was evident that there was a strong feeling on the
minds of all against the complainant, from their know-
ledge that his feelings and opinions were inimical to the
" union."

The defendant's solicitor addressed the court at some
length, contending that the complainant was unworthy
of belief, and that the society to which he was requested
to subscribe was nothing more nor less than a benefit
society, from which the complainant himself would derive
as much benefit as those of his fellow-workmen. He
declined, however, to put in the rules of the society or
union.

Mr. Tyr whitt—Am Ito understand that all the ladies,
with the exception of the servant, were in their night
clothes ?

Complainant—"Oh, yes sir ; they came direct from
their beds to attack me. It was a most awkward predi-
cament. (Laughter.) I have not made the slightest
mistake about the the number or condition of the ladies."
Mr. Wakeling addressed the worthy magistrate for
the defence, assuring him that Mr. Kennard must have
been labouring under some extraordinary delusion at the
time he visited his client, who was the only person that
arose from her bed, and, with the exception of her
servant, was the only individual who went to tee
complainant after he had improperly obtained the 101.
The simple facts were :—On the day in question Mrs.
Mizen was expecting her present landlord for his rent,
amounting to 6t. 10s., and when the complainant pre-
sented himself, and in reply to the servant, distinctly
represented that he was the landlord of her then abode,
a 101. note was immediately handed to him to take that
amount, and the mistake being discovered and made
known to his client, she in a rage jumped out of bed,
and on demanding a restoration of her money, or the
difference between them, he knocked her down. Her
cries for help brought her assistance, and the complain.
ant having been made to refund the 101., he was suffered
to depart from the house.

Mr. Norton observed that he had no doubt what-
ever in the perfect truth of the complainant's state-
ment; indeed, he could have no doubt on the subject
as it was corroborated by the witnesses who bad
been called, and who were opposed to him ; and that
he (the complainant) had been made the victim of
the strike, because, like an Englishman he chose
to resist an illegal impost. He (Mr. Norton) could
not approve of the conduct of the foreman of Messrs.
Kirk and Perry, in taking on himself at once to dis-
charge the poor man, as it was quite at variance with
his professions to 'Wilcox—namely, that he did not in-
tefere with such matters as long as the men did their
work—in discharging the man who was at work, at the
will of those who were idle. There was nothing more
disagreeable to him than that of sending a hard-working
man to prison, and if he was satisfied that the com-
plainant was taken back, and should not again be inter-
fered with, he would avoid doing so.
The complainant said it would be useless going back,
as he could not expect any comfort, and he should leave
the case in the hands of his worship.
Mr. Norton said, in that case, he must do his duty,
and protect the complainant. He then sentenced the
defendant to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

EXPENSES OF THE WAR AGAINST RIISSIA.—A ru-
mour has been circulated on the Paris Bourse that the
expenses of the war against Russia are to be met by a
joint loan of 16,000,000/. sterling to England and
France. This loan, it is said, is to be issued at 78, as a
medium between the prices of the French Threes and
the English Consols. Such an arrangement would
doubtless suit the various financial houses on both
sides, eager for commissions, but, except in the wishes
of these persons, it can certainly have no foundation.
The chief cause of the calm confidence with which
the people of England look upon the struggle on
which they are about to enter is the conviction that
the experience of the last war and the subsequent
spread of clear economical views, will prevent all
attempts to• provide the cost by unsound expedients
of any kind. If the amount wanted from time to
time be raised in a national manner, in the open market,
and expended only by our own people, a few millions
will, it is felt, go a long way towards the maintenance
of an irresistible force ; but if the idea were to prevail
that the old systems of raising money by the issue of
large sums of stock at prices below par and of subsidi-
dizing foreign nations will be resorted to, there would at
once be an end to this conviction. The rumour in
question comprises as much of the two evils as could
have been condensed into a single proposal, since it as-
sumes that the Governments are to receive only 781. for
the liability to pay 1001., and that England is to be con-
tent to raise her 8,000,0001. at a price 10 or 12 per cent.
below what sho could otherwise get, in order that
France may contract her share on terms just as much
above the rate that is available in her own market. This
would simply bo a subsidy, with the disadvantage of
clumsiness, and the loa,nmong,ers, whose instincts are
developing themselves early, must devise something
better if they expect their statements to find currency
even for a day. As far as England is concerned, more-
over, it is not yet certain that an immediate surplus of
revenue, coupled with a determination on the part of the
people to submit to any necessary increase of taxation
for the future, may not be sufficient to carry us through
without creating additional burdens for posterity. At
all events, if none but legitimate loans are resorted to,
the belief may fairly be entartained that such amounts
as would otherwise have been absorbed from us by
Austria and Russia during the current year will be more
than sufficient for every purpose.

Tyrwhitt asked Mr. Kennard if he made use o
his stick as described ?

He said he did not. He had the will but not the
power to do so, for the ladies clung about him like
leeches. (A laugh.)
___

Mr. Wakeling called for the defence the servant,
Catherine Lines, who distinctly swore to the several
facts spoken of in the explanation.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, after the straightforward tes-
timony of the last witness, he should dismiss the charge,
with a strong recommendation to Mr. Kennard to come
to a speedy amicable arrangement with Mrs. Mizen, or
she might with safety turn the tables on him.

SEMEING OCCURRENCE AT DOVTLAIS—A. CHILD
EATEN ALIVE By RATE.—The busy little town of Dow-
lais, Glamorganshire, has been the scene of one of the
most painful and revolting occurrences which we have
ever been called upon to record. Some of the poorer
class of houses are infested to a considerable degree by
those destructive vermin—rats, but no one seemed to
imagine that the presence of those intruders, although
dangerous to property, would be attended with so much
peril to personal life, A poor working woman having
occasion to go from home, put her young child to bed
until her return. Upon her opening the door of the
apartment in which the child lay, she saw three large
rats jump from the bed, and on looking in that direction,
was terrified at perceiving that the bed-clothes were
stained with blood to a considerable extent. Upon her
removing the coverlet a shocking spectacle presented
itself. The rats had mutilated the poor infant, and
destroyed its life, having eaten away the wall of the belly,
and destroyed portions of the intestines. The agony of the
unhappy mother upon discovering her loss may be better
conceived than described. Her cries brought her neigh-
bours to her assistance, and the shocking occurrence has
produced a painful sensation throughout the neighbour-
hood.

lid Holloway, a young female with whom he cohabited,
were brought before Mr. A'Beckett, for final examina-
tion, charged with gross cruelty to Mary Ann Iloilo-
-
way, their illegitimate offspring, 15 months old, by
breaking its arms, burning its legs and chest, and
neglecting to provide fur its proper nourishment.
It appeared from the evidence given on former exami-
nations that the prisoners had lodged about three months
at the above address as man and wife, and that when
they came there the infant was twelve month old, and in
good health. Latterly, Mrs. Marley, the landlady, had
heard the child scream dreadfully when the male pri-
soner was at home. The infant was sent to nurse a fort-
night
before Christmas, and brought home on the 26th
ult., apparently in good health, and for several days
afterwards the infant was heard to scream dreadfully,
and when the landlady saw it, she was told it had fallen
off a chair into the fire. After that the landlady saw
the child in the arms of a girl who nursed it, and per-
ceiving it suffered great pain, she examined it, and she
found it in such an extremely emaciated state, that she
at once informed the police.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.—A. stranger arrived at Potsdam a
few days dago, and, going to the Frederick Church,
asked the beadle to be allowed to visit it, as it is one of
great beauty, and contains many works of art. The
beadle opened the doors, but no sooner had they entered
than they heard slight moanings. They hastened to the
spot, and found a young man hanging by the neck to a
large marble figure of Jesus Christ on the Cross. They
immediately cut him down, and conveyed him to the
hospital. Having partially recovered, he stated that ho
belonged to the sect of Old Lutherans, or Pietists ; and
that, being anxious to secure his salvation in the world
to come, he had long determined to die as Christ died ;
that he had frequently attempted to crucify himself, but
had not courage to execute the design ; and that at last,
after a violent struggle with his bad passions, he bad
hanged himself to the cross. About a quarter of an
hour after making this statement he died,

TWO LINE-OF-BATTLE SHIPS FOR THE
BALTIC FLEET.
It is reported that the Cumberland, 70, flag-ship of
~
Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.B commander-
in-chief in the West Indies, will come to England imme-
diately, and that the ship intended to relieve her, the
Boscawen, 70, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe,
C.B , now fitting at Chatham, is not to proceed to her
station, but is to be detained in England.

THE ALLEGED MURDER ON ROBOROUGH-DOWN.—The
prisoner M`Donnell was on Thursday morning last taken
from the military prison at Devonport (where he is un-
dergoing punishment by sentence of court-martial), and
marched, under an escort of soldiers, to Roborough-
down, to afford him an opportunity of pointing out the
spot where he had deposited the remains of the woman
whom he still persists in declaring he has murdered. Mr.
Giffard, chief of the Devonport police, and other persons,
were on the spot ; but after the day had been passed in
a fruitless search for the alleged " body," the escort re-
turned, tired and jaded, fully impressed with the convic-
tion that they had been hoaxed. The fellow has borne a
most disgraceful character in the regiment from the time
he entered it.
