FIRE in the BLACKFRIARS' ROAD.
An alarming fire broke out this morning, at four o'clock
in the Blackfriars'-road, on the premises of Mr. Johnston, o
the Yorkshire Stingo beer shop, opposite the Magdalen.
The fire, supposed to have originated by ignited tobacco,
dropped between some loose joints, was discovered by the
police. By four o'clock the whole was in flames. By quick
arrival of the engines, however, and plenty of water, the fire
was got under in a quarter of an hour. The whole of the
inmates happily, though precipitately,
escaped in their night-
clothes. The to room bar, and sitting-room, are almost
wholly destroyed; the rest of the house is comparatively unin
i-
ured. Mr. Johnston is not insured, though the building s
jupposed to be so. The damage is estimated at about 2501.

CONDUCT OF THE POLICE.
FROM A consEsrostnerr.)
With reference to the statement which appeared in the
Times under the head of Greenwich Police, I must express
extreme surprise that subjects of this kind should be so much
tai represented. The gentlenian (Mr. Williams) seized by the
police was but doing a duty which every reepectable person
would do in the safe conducting of a Tidy (the sister of
a very respectable tradesman in the town of Dept-
ford) to her mother's home. The case was heard and
willisuns, from the violent treatment he had dismissed by by the presiding officer of the Court, and
stating in a very gentlemanly manner, that he should
upon Mr.
ceived,
report the case at Srotland•yard, he was subjected to contumely,
inasmuch as he was recalled, and for the observation he
had matte, fined five shillings for being drunk ; this cannot
be considered justice, for had he merited a fine fee drunk-
enness, es
why not have awa- instance ded it in the first insta ;
ebnuntnos'•' it is evident that the fine was inflicted in consequence
of Mr. Williams stating that he would refer the ease to Scot-
whether of high or low degree,
offend

inflicted, and upon no °e' let pu •hs

The value of Sight and Hearing can never be
truly estimated but by its loss. Sedentary occupations, close ap-
plication to business, continual reading and writing, intense study,
the use of bad and improper Spectacles, and Ear Instruments, all
conspire to injure these best of nature's gifts, the Eyesight and
Hearing. It is, indeed, of vital importance that the adoption of
Spectacles to imperfect vision should be regulated on proper prin.
ciples. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Pic-
cadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street,
City, have devoted their whole lives to this branch of science,
which has enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new
construction; immediately they are placed before imperfect vision,
either by day or candlelight, that mist and dulness which appear
before the eyes Is at once removed, every object becomes clear and
distinct. so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and
brilliant, and is brought to its youthfUl, natural, and original
state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor Sound Magni
fiers, for deaf persons, is not the least perceptible nor uncomfort-
able; they give immediato relief to old standing, extreme cases of
deafness. Persons can be suited at a distance; those who have
never made use of Spectacles, by stating the number of inches
they can see moderate sized print from the eye, and those who are
making use of Sp-ctacles by sending them, and making the same
statement when in use. The Sound Magnifier Invisible Voice
Conductor and Spectacles are sent, daily, by post, to various parts
of the country.

uiiTtinehwpe wheats are increased
in the ear immensely, and the growth of the barley bit t in
the stalk and ear is a.stonishing. Au agriculturist upon whom
we can rely assures us that his barleys have risen twelve ireaes
in ten days. But we nevertheless apprehend that neither it .p
ail be quite equal to that of last year, though there are prodi
giously fine appearances on some of the heavy and light li.nds
o' Norfolk. The second crop of hay will be greatly increased.
We have only to hope for a fortnight of sunshine to bring 4)
an early harvest.7-Norwich Mfrcury.
