DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY ARMS TAVERN,
HASUMERSMFFII.—Yesterday morning, shortly before
two o'clock, a fire, involving a serious destruction of
property, and it is feared fatal consequences to one of the
inmates, broke out upon the extensive range of premises
known as the City Arms Tavern, situate at the water-
side, near Harnmersmith-bridge, is the occupation of
Mr. Thomas Beaumont. The flames, when first dis-
covered, had obtained a firm hold of the ground-floor,
and, having extended to the spirits, they were rapidly
making towards the staircase. At that time Mrs. Beau-
mont, her son and daughter, together with a servant, were
in their beds asleep. After considerable trouble the resi-
dents were made sensible of the great danger to which
they were exposed, and with the exception of Mr. Beau-
mont, jun., and a man, they escaped without receiving
any personal injury. The other two, however; were
both injured by leaping from the window. Owing to
the combustible nature of the contents of the place, very
few minutes elapsed before the building, which was 40
feet long by as many feet wide, was completely enve-
loped in flames. The firemen and parish engineers
laboured incessantly, but they were unable to get the
mastery over the destructive element before the building
was burned down. The premises occupied by Mr.
Adams, 15, Seymour-place, and a cottage adjoining, in
the tenure of Mary 'Ware, have also sustained consider-
able damage by water and removal. The origin of the
disaster is unknown. The tavern and its contents were
insured in the Phcenix Fire-office.
DON'T USE COVERS FOR NEWSPAPERS.'—Those who
receive a newspaper through the post have no concep-
tion of the dangers which it has to encounter in its
journey, and how fortunate they are, if it was dressed in a
cover, that it has reached its destination; fer on Satur-
day nights' several omnibuses are required to convey the
newspaper bags to the different termini, and they are
jumped upon and squeezed into almost inconceivable
shapes, in order to accommodate them to the bags for the
different districts. Covers are at all times unsafe, un-
less they are well pasted as they issue from the news-
paper offices. Directing on tt spare place, and tying
with string is the safest plan. Frequently a vast
number of newspapers are found in the bags, the
covers of which have been violated, either from im-
perfect folding or the hurry-scurry of packing thorn.
On such occasions the persons who claim the forsaken
news-sheets are guessed at by the sorters, and in order
to pacify the Liberal politician or the rigid Conservative
who may have objectionable papers sent them, the fol-
lowing missive is dispatcheds balm, bearing the signa-
ture of Colonel Maberly :—.Several newspapers having
escaped from their covers in the newspaper office this
morning, from the imperfect manner in which they were
enclosed in them, they have been replaced as correctly
as
th e possible
]lasi the accompanying
paper may not be
ntendou, I one originay.y beg to explain,
that the inconvenience you may be subjected to has not
been occasioned by this department, Civil and Mercan
tile Journal.
SHIPWRECK AT THE GIANT'S CAttsisw ey.—On
Monday night the schooner Spokesman, Bell, master,
from Liverpool to Dorry, laden with cannel coal, came
.
on shore at Portnogher, a total wreck The foremast,
anchors, and chains, were gone, and a great part of the
bottom knocked out. The log book and papers were
found, but no entry had been made from the previous
Thursday. The fate of the crew has not been ascer-
tained, but it is feared all hands may have been lost.—
Coleraine Chronicle.
STOURBRIDGE —THE GLASS TRADE.--We regret
to hear that the depression in this trade has occasioned
the masters to discharge many of their men, as, during
the last few weeks, they have not had a sufficient
number of orders to employ them more than two or
three days per week, and cannot continue to support the
whole of them with that limited amount of employment
without giving a part of them notice, which has thrown
numbers from the various glass manufactories in this
neighbourhood out of employ.—Birmingham JournaL
COMMISSION or LUNACY.--Yesterday a Commis-
sion of Lunacy was opened at the Swan Tavern, High-
road, Walham-green, Fulham, before Mr. Commissioner
Barlow and a jury composed of seventeen magistrates
and freeholders of the county, to inquire into the state
of mind of Mr. John Wood Willie, a retired surgeon in
the East India Company's service, late of Hollywood-
place, Fulham-road. and now an inmate of Kensington
House Asylum, Kensington. Mr. Willie, who was
present, handed in a protest, after which he left the
room. Evidence was then gone into, and ultimately the
inquiry was adjourned.

THE UNIWED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, DEc. 22.—The New York packet-
ship Fidelia, Captain Yeaton, after a remarkably
short passage of fifteen days, arrived here this after-
noon. She has thirteen cabin passengers, including
Colonel Sherbourne, bearer of dispatches ; and
60,000/. in gold on freight. Her news, which is only
one day later than that .brought by the steamer, is
not important, and adds nothing to the details noted
in our report of the Caledonia's news.
The following appears in a New York paper of the
16th ult.:—
" By the arrival of the steamer Galveston at New Or-
leans we have via Vera Cruz, four days' later intelli-
gence from the city of Mexico.
" Santa Anna was at Tehuacan. He had only a few
hundred soldiers with him; this force mutinied for pay,
and left him with only forty men. He then moved on
towards Orizaba to meet his wife.
" Colonel Childs had joined General Scott.
" General Lane and his command were still at Puebla,
where everything was quiet.
" Nothing said about the movements of the Mexican
Congress, or probabilities of peace.
" Santa Fe was prosperous, and in a thriving condi-
tion. Merchants were doing a good business. The
Americans were building new houses, and laying off
plans for the improvement of the town. Hotels were
opened, a paper printed, and lots, &c., advertised for
sale. Large commissary trains were arriving almost
daily."
The commercial accounts from New York do not dif-
fer from those received per the Caledonia. The follow.
ing are the reports of the country markets :-
44 CINCINNATI, Nov. 15, P.M. Flour—The market
showed some increased degree of firmness, and sales of
all kinds footed up about 7,000 barrels, at 4 dolls, to
4 dolls. 25c. to 4 dolls, 50c.
" PITTSBURG, Nov. 15.—Flour—There was no change
in the market, and prices stood the same as at the close
on Saturday, 4 dolls. 81fe. to 4 dolls. 931 c. Wheat was
firm at 93c. for good Pennsylvania, and Ohio with an
upward tendency.
" ALBANY, Nov. 15,—Flour—The market continued
dull at 5 dolls. 87ic. to 6 dolls. for western brands, in-
cluding Oswego and Genessee. Sales were very limited.
Receipts by the canal during the previous forty-eight
hours were as follows :—Flour, 20,000 barrels ; corn,
15,300 bushels; barley, 43,600 bushels."

IRELAND.
MURDER or MR. LLOYD.

Dusurr, Dxc. I.—The following is an extract
from a letter written by a magistrate of Roscommon :
" I was at Ballyglass yesterday, and, on my return
found that the Rev. John Lloyd had been shot dead
on his return from church about three o'clock, at the
lands of Lisanella, between this house and Elphin.
His carriage and family had passed on a little before
him '• he was in a gig, with a small boy. Two men
came up to him, one having laid hold of the bridle, he
asked did:they know him, or what they wanted. They
answered they did know him well, and wanted to
shoot him, and desired the boy to get out of the gig,
which he refused. Poor Mr. Lloyd then desired him
to do so, and one of the men pulled hisn out. Mr.
Lloyd then said, Boys, if you want to shoot me,
I'm here ; fire away ;' when they instantly shot him
through the right side, and killed him on the spot. No
one can form the least idea of what motive they could
have had, a 3 he was always a kind, harmless man,
and not in any way brought into hostile collusion with
the people, to whom he has always been kind."

DISSOLUTION OF ANOTRER BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
The board of guardians of the Cavan Union was
yesterday dissolved by the Poor-law Commissioners.
A paid board will, of course, be forthwith appointed.

DREADFUL MORTALITY ♦MONG SMALL FARMERS.
In the Court of Chancery this day, Master Murphy
called upon the receiver in the cause of O'Sullivan
v. O'Sullivan to account, when that gentleman stated
the appalling fact that during the last year " three
hundred of the tenants had died and were interred in
one trench." The receiver added that the holdings of
those persons are now all unoceupied. The estate
lies in the county of Cork.

THE CORPORATION.
A meeting of this bcdy was held to-day, for the
discharge of some routine business. After its dis-
posal Mr. Gustavus Hamilton, a Conservative mem-
ber of the House, gave notice of motion that an humble
address be presented to her Majesty to convene a
meeting of the Imperial Parliament in the city of
Dublin, once in every three years, and that her Ma
jesty should be requested to direct her Ministers, if
such a step should be necessary, to bring in a Bill for
that purpose : and the Learned Gentleman further
moved that, in case his motion received the affirmation
of the corForation, he would submit that the Lord
Mayor should proceed to London in state, accom-
panied by the civic officers and such members of the
town council as wished to accompany him, to present
the address to her Majesty in person.
ARREST or SEVEN ROCKITES. - Sub-Inspector
Morgan, with constable Connors, of the Lisduff sta-
tion, and a large police force, traversed the Glankit
and Blakefield mountains, and succeeded in arresting
seven notorious characters. Among these was Pat
Ryan, a most sanguinary desperado. Leinster
