EXTENSIVE FIRE AT MESSRS. SASIUDA'S MANU-
FACTORY, BLacxwau.—About a quarter before six o'clock
this morning (Saturday) a fire was discovered upon the ex-
tensive property of Messrs. Samuda, Brothers, the eminent
engineers of Blackwell. A person poising to an adjacent
foundry first observed bodies of smoke issuingfrom the body of
the building used as a store-roota and pattern-shop, a distinct
building, ranging in extent about 70 feet by 25. The brigade
engines and firemen were very speedily upon the spot, and a
considerable numberof strangers were ready to lend a helping
band in extinguishing the fire very soon after the outbreak.
Notwithstanding this, however, the building was burned
down, and its valuable contents destroyed, and a considerable
quantity of the adjoining private: property materially injured.
The firm, it is stated, are insured in the Phoenix and Imperial
offices. How the fire originated is not known.

TROSE.—We have to record the der else of the Duchess (Dow-
ager) of Montrose, who died on the; 24th instant, at her villa,
near Richmond, aged seventy-seven. The deceased, Lady
Caroline Maria Montagu, was the eldest daughter and only
surviving issue of George, fourth Duke of Manchester, and
was conserlinntly aunt to the pre sent holder of that title. In
1790 she married James, third ;Duke of Montrose, who had
been previously married to Lady Jemima Ashburnham, and
by his Grace, who died in 1836, had issue seven children, in-
cluding the present Duke, the late Countess of Winchilsea,
and the Countess Powis. The Doke and Duchess of Mon-
trose, who had been staying for siome time back at Brighton,

DEATH OF THE HON. SER. EDWARD VAVASOUR,
BART.—We have to record the sudden death, near Dijon, in
Burgundy, of the above Hon. B; tronet, who was at the time
on his way to Rome. The melt sucholy event took place on
the 15th inst. The deceased baronet was second son of
Charles, 16th Lord Stourton, and uncle of the present peer.
He was born May 6, 1786, and married August 5, 1813,

by her ladyship, who died in 1821 i, he had a family of five
sons and three daughters. In 18!16 he inherited the ancient
family estate of his kinsman, Sir Thomas Vavasour, Bart., of
Haslewood, Yorkshire, and than ;upon took by sign manual

he was created a baronet. He was a knight of the order of
St. John of Jerusalem, and a deputy-lieutenant of Yorkshire.
The deceased baronet is succeeded by his eldest son Edward,

fortable night on Thursday, and wr ts considered to be rapidly

or not to resume his duties before this holidays.
ST. PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN.-METROPOLITAN
IM-
raovisarEr•rs.—A meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of
St. Paul, Covent-garden, was held, on Thursday, the Rev. G.
H. Bowers, the rector, in the chair., for the purpose of hearing
a communication from the Secretetry to her Majesty's Com-
missioners for Metropolitan Improvements read, as also a
resolution of the Commissioners on: the subject of two reso-
lutions passed at a vestry meeting on the 27th of November
last, relating to the proposed new •
,street from Long-acre;
and to determine what steps should be taken with reference
to the communication. Mr. Mosely, the vestry-clerk, having
read the letter es well as the resolution of the Commissioners,
which stated that they, the Commissioners, could not under-
take to recommend to the Commissioners of Weods and
Forests to continue any measures for carrying into effect the
contemplated improvement in the neighbourhood of Covent-
garden until the parish of St. Paul obeli have given a gua-
rantee to the Commissioners of Wools and Forests that the
sum of 1,000/. by private subscription, and 2,000/. by paro-
chial rates, be raised and paid over to the said Commissioners,
a long discussion took place, in the course of which it was
elicited that the Metropolitan Cotter aissioners required this
sum, in addition to 10,0001. given by the Duke of Bedford, to-
wards forming this street. It was at; first suggested that a
memorial should be presented to hi ; Grace, asking him to
subscribe the additional three thous and, but eventually it
was agreed that a circular should be ,sent to every inhabitant
asking how much he would subscribe towards the amount
wanted by the Commissioners.

The late Member for Joseph Cripps,
Esq., banker, Gloucester, has bequeathed to his twelve
children specific pecuniary legacies to the amount of upwards
of 80,0001., and the residue amongst five of them. He
directed that his freeholds should be sold, and added to
his personalty, which was valued at 40,0001. His eldest
son takes nearly a fourth of the proporty.— Worcester Chrc-
