ELETEIN OF ENGLAND V. EIGHTEEN CF LEAMINGTON.
—ln consequence oftthe ;wet weather, the rain fulling
throughout the day on WedneEday, this match was not
resumed; and therefore, not being played out, was drawn.

THE COOPERS' COMPANY.—A special meeting of
the Court of the Coopers' Company was held on Tues-
day, Mr. R. Carter, Master, in the chair; after which
they dined at the London Tavern, where Mr. James
Firth, of the Town Clot k's-office, their late Master, was
presented with a vote of thanks, splendidly written, cm •
blazoned, and framed, in acknowledgment of the great
services rendered by that gentleman during the two
years he had acted as Master, for his urbanity and kind
ness to the several members of the Court, more espe-
cially evinced in the preparation of, and presentation to
each, of his " Historical Memoranda connected with the
Coopers' Company, consisting of Charters, Documents,
and Extracts from the Records of the Corporation of
London and the Books of the Company, 1396-1848."
The vote also comprehended the testimony of the Court
to the discretion, judgment, and ability manifested by
Mr. Firth in remodelling and reconstructing the Gram-
mar School at Ratcliff, which promises to be an institu-
tion of great utility. _ _

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—Early yesterday morning a
fire broke out in the oil and colour warehouse of Mrs.
M. Pottle, Tabernacle-square, Shoreditch. Mr. Deacon
the occupier of the Baths adjoining, succeeded with
great difficulty in rescuing the residents, who were taken
out of the premises through the back windows, nearly
suffocated with smoke. Notwithstanding the exertions
of the firemen, the whole of the stock in the warehouse
was destroyed, and the building itself partially damaged.
A short time before the toutbreak of this fire another,
which it is feared will be attended with loss of life, broke
out in White Horse-alley, Bankside. It commenced on
the second floor in front of the house. Mrs. Welsh, the
wife of the owner, was asleep at the time, and before any
assistance could be rendered to her the room was on
fire. She was dreadfully burnt. She was removed to the
hospital, where she now lies in a very precarious state.
At a late hour on Saturday evening the Baths in Old
Broad-street, city, were discovered to be on tire, but by
the timely arrival of the engines, the fire was speedily
extinguished.
WHOLESALE DISFRANCHISEMENT.—It 19 HOW as-
certained that if only one-half of the objections which
have been lodged against the electors in the boroughs
and county of Cardigan are sub•tautiati el, the next
candidate for the reception will have but little trouble
to canvass, as nearly half the electors will be disfran-
chised.
NATURAL CURIOSITY.—There is growing in the
garden of Mr. King, Wellpalk, Rutherglen, a small
apple-tree, called the "Irish Cluster;" its height is not
more than eight act, with three small branches in the
form of a weeping ash. On each branch there were
last week about 2,000 apples, or 6,000 in all; they grow
in clusters of twelve and fifteen, closely knitted to-
gether. The tree was literally euverat with fruit,
' which, but for a double snpport to each branch, would
have weighed them to the ground. Last year there
was not an apple on this tree.—Glogow Courier.
