Mr. Braidwood states that but for the deficiency of water
the damage in the Arcade would not have been near so se-
rious. Besides the above cases the losses of the lodgers must
be very great, but the firemen have no means of coming at
the knowledge of their amount. The cause of the fire re-
mains unexplained. It is believed to have commenced in a
house in Bond street, immediately in front of the Bazaar.

BURKE'S GENEALOGICAL AND HERALDIC HIS-
TORY OF THE COMMONERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.—
This very interesting record of the rise, progress, esta-
blishment, and connection of the families of the Com-
moners of England has reached its third volume. It is
enriched by a finely-executed portrait of Mr. Coke, of
Norfolk. It must not be imagined that these volumes con.
sist merely of a dry catalogue of names and inter-mar-
riages. The most interesting particulars relating to the cele-
brated individuals of the various families are to be found there,
accompanied by a variety of sparkling anecdotes of the most
attractive kind. This valuable work forms an indispensable
appendage to the library of every English gentleman, for it
contains, in fact, the histary of his entire class.

A stone bridge over the river at Alleux, in the
Deux Sevres, erected about eighteen months ago, has been
completely carried away by the floods.
DISPROPORTION OF TIIE SEXES.—It is an extra-
ordinary fact, and no less lamentable, that in this town (Wood-
bridge) there are 115 marriageable females of the highest re-
spectability, from the blooming age of twenty-two to that period
-when " a lady's age becomes a questionable point," without
help-mates. There are also no less than 52 widows, who it
would be unfair to presume are not desirous again to enlist
under the banners of Hymen, having once experienced the
sweets of matrimony. The number of widowers amount to
only 17, and of bachelors to 32. So that, allowing each of
these "to take unto himself a wife," 119 damsels would still
be left "to waste their sweetness on the desert air," unless
some amorous swains should condescend to take compassion
and release them from their present state of "single blessed-
ness."—Suffolk Chronicle.
