FIRE AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE.—Lasr
night, during the performance of Susan Holley (the
first piece), the performers and audience at the above
theatre were thrown into the greatest consternation by a
fire taking place among the scenery. It appears that in
the scenery there are a number of gas lights used forth!)
purpose of giving a soft effect to certain scenes in th 6
pieces, which drop from the borders or top of the pro-
scenium, and in order to throw sufficient light upon the
hanging draperies a row of gas-burners are suspended
from fly to fly. A strong current of air is always in
circulation, and it is supposed the light fabric was by
this means swayed towards the lights and ignited. The
utmost alarm was caused, and the curtain dropped.
Every person engaged behind the scenes in the stage
business made the most prompt exertions, and tore down
the burning scenes before the wood caught. The audi-
ence now began to make a rush towards the door, and a
great number of persons from the gallery escaped from
the house, and were about to be followed by the re-
mainder, when Mr. Osbaldiston came in front of the
curtain and assured the audience the fire was totally got
under. His presence seemed to inspire confidence, and
he begged of them not to be alarmed. The engines
from the Waterloo-road and the County were instantly
in attendance, but their assistance was fortunately not
required. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Os-
baldiston and the performers—the former for his pre-
sence of mind, and the latter for their prompt assistance.
SWIMMING MATCII.—NATIONAL BATHS,
WESTMINSTER-ROAD.—Owing to the extraordinary ex-
citement caused here on Monday last, by the swimming
race given by Capt. Stevens, Mr. Tilke (a public teacher
belonging to the Operative Society) got up a race last
night (Monday) for five splendid silver medals, of the
value of U., 41., 3/., 21., and 1/. each. At the lowest
calculation upwards of four thousand persons were pre-
sent. The affair came off in five heats, five in each
heat. The winners were as follows :—The first, Mr.
B. Roberts ; the second, his brother, Mr. H. Roberts ;
the third, Mr. Child ; the fourth, Mr. Odell ; the fifth,
Mr. Templeton. Mr. Harris, the celebrated " American
diver," swam against Lewis, the " Champion of Eng-
land," for 20/. The prize was brought off by Lewis..

QUARTER TO THBffig'•
The almost hourly expected arrival of an express 111
anticipation of the Overland mail from India, has set the
tea speculators rather on the qui vice. The effect of the
heavy arrivals recently has been in some measure
counteracted by the increased consumption of the sr
tick, and under all the circumstances ,4-h &ete ma rket '
dedly looks firmer than a few weeks back. The :inanY
ties ruined by rash speculations,and even by hear; bonaf f
purchases with the view of laying in stock, operates ?
course as a caution and a warning to others, and there is
less time business doing just now. The pro vect of tilr,
further protraction of the dispute with ChLaa would
course raise prices.

INSOLVENT COURT.—=THIS DAY'
(Before Mr. Commissioner REvNoLns)
David Fogarty appeared on his petition to be discharged:
The insolvent had carried on business as a tanner, 0!
No. 6, Quay, Waterford, and subsequently came to
London. He disposed of a great portion of his stott
in trade and business to his father, and was led
ject to several liabilities in London. His P4th-
debts amounted to 2,500/. for which 7501. was„,in
out consideration. He- attributed his -ineolvo"-J
a great measure, to having become a party to certain was
commodation bills. This morning the sum of 1621 riti
received from his father, which was paid into Court. ,
The case having been closed, the Court pos;tponed jog-
ment for about an hour, and in the meantime a solicitor
appeared on behalf of Mr. Robarts, of Lombard-street'
and stated that there were certain facts which his client
wished to state to the Court, relative to the insolvent, bn;
was stopped by the Learned Commissioner,who said as th .
case was now closed such a course as this would
be
quite irregular, and interfere materially with the .adintnP.
tration of the Court. after
The insolvent was then called up and discharg..-9 s
the Learned Commissioner expressing, in strong terrn
his disapprobation of the accommodation-bill systertl.
Mathew Brice, a man of colour, dressed out in the ex
treme of dandyism, and sporting a huge pair of incustr'
chins, applied to be discharged.
It appeared that the insolvent, whose labial pectlliane
ritt
of enunciation and singular appearance created
laughter in the Court, and who had been employed 'f
several noblemen and gentlemen—how it did not apr."s;
—had run up a score with a publican for 41., for ighlt,,
he was brought before the Commissioners of us,
Court of Request, and sent to pi-ison for 100 da.Y,
