DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.--"A most (1;;
structive fire broke out last night, about half-past eleven
o'clock, on the extensive premises of Mr. Henry Jurcis.
and Son, Vauxhall-mill, opposite Tatlock-street, ir'l`.l
hall-road. Mr. Hewitt, accompanied by 'Mr. DoWIII
and other officers of the constabulary with six eegi.jurter
were at the scene of devastation in less than a 1111— ei
of an hour after the alarm was given, and rendered feri.
cious and lofty, being
valuable assistance. The premises, which are very sl3s'd
completely crammed from the basement floor with Ind n•
about ten stories in height, A%
corn and meal, surmounted by a heavy portion of lr.cid.
work, necessary for carrying on the operation of gl'llwe
ing the. wheat, and other articles of grain, weigh/DP n.
are informed, upwards of three tons, were soon e—
veloped in flames, and from the immense quantity of cobi;
bustible material, but a very short period had elapse
before the flames attained the top of the buildinw
But a very small portion of the contents could be 513:
cured, and in less than an hour from its coramencenief
the buildin was reduced to a mere shell. From the r.t
mense weight of metal at the top, it was suspected tu"
the framework would burst, and should this have,),°°,;
curred it is fearful to surmise the destruction of life "--
might have ensued. Messrs. Jump, we are informed,
are insured to a pretty considerable sum in several 'insirance offices, but to what amount we were unable (LI:
tinctly to ascertain. It appears that the machinery ea
kept at work night and day, and a different set ef
are in charge during the night. It was not for some tan.
after the alarm was given that the water from one branch
could be obtained, but this was obviated in a great• rtelise
sure by the engines stationed on the margin of
About an hour after the commencement of the
above, another alarm was given of a warehouse in Ala,
street. being on fire, but this, fortunately,
extinguished.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—In the barn-yar, h. o-
toch (Mr. Morrison's farm), near Beauly, a poor
en and a'
'
lineirtridge are laying their eggs in one nest.
. „
hers
'e is robbad of n every morning, but of course,
thelitytridge eggs are left in the nest, and quite a little
war is waging betwixt the fowls for the privilege of
sitting upon them. Should the barn-door hen be trium-
phant, it will be interesting to notice how she will treat
the young birds, and how the young will treat her.
Mr. Morrison has taken every precaution to secure the
nest and the hens from marauding enemies.—lnverness

SERIOUS ACClDENTS.—Yesterday the following ac-
cidents occurred, one of which, it is feared, will end in
loss of life :—The first happened to a youth named
James M'Gregor, aged seventeen years. It seems that
he was employed on board the Victoria, a trading vessel,
belonging to Goole, Yorkshire, and whilst in the act of
ascending a ladder he missed his footing, and fell a
depth of twenty feet down the hold. Ho was raised up
in an insensible condition, and carried ashore at Hay a
Wharf, Tooley-street, Southwark, and from thence to
;the nearest surgeon. He had received a severe scalp
wound, dislocation of the clavicle, and concussion of Oa
brain, and was in such a condition that it was necessary
to remove him to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he now
lies in a very precarious state. Another accident oc-
curred to a man named George Wright, a bricklayer,
living at No. 25, Essex-street, Gravel-lane, Southwark.
He was at work on the roof of a house, when be, by
some means, lost his equilibrium, and fell into the yard
at the rear of the building, whereby he sustained a frac-
ture of the thigh, and such other contusions, that he w_as
.
taken to Guy's Hospital. He is progressing very fa'
vourably.
