amongst the wild scenes and wilder characters of the Rocky Moun-

and hardships a traveller may anticipate, should he venture to pass
through it and mix with its semi-barbarous and uncouth people, and
4o draw a faint picture of the lives of those hardy pioneers ofcivilisa-
lion whose lot is cast upon the boundless prairies and rugged moun-

ESTE. .)N OP THE CITY ARMS TAVERN,
HAMMERSNYTIL—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, emensive range of premises
known as the City Arms 'Cavern, situate at the water-
side, near Hammersmith-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, tegether with a servant, were
in their beds asleep. After etot isiderable trouble the resi-
dents were made sensible of the great danger to which
they were exposed, and vvitia the exception of Mr. Beau-
mont, jun., and a man, they escaped without receiving
any personal injury. The ether two, however; were
both injured by leaping front the window. Owing to
the combustible nature of Vac, contents of the place, very
few minutes elapsed before the building, which was 40
feet long by as many foot ide, was completely enve-
loped in flames. The fir et nen and parish engineers
laboured incessantly, but r,loiey were unable to get the
mastery over the destructiv a 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 Phoenix Firt ream.
DON'T USE COVERS FOR NEWSPAPERS.—Those who
receive a newspaper throng 11 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 it destination; for on Satur-
day nights' several omnibus( .a are required to convey the
newspaper bags to the dill anent termini, and they are
jumped upon and squeezeal into almost inconceivable
shapes, in order to account:lac date them to the bags for the
different districts. Covers itr a at all times unsafe, un-
less they are well pasted as rthey issue from the news-
paper offices. Directing °lt a spare place, and tying
with string is the safest. plan. Frequently a vast
number of newspapers an s found in the bags, the
covers of which have been violated, either from im-
perfect folding or the hurt 17-scurry of ackin thorn.
sus such occasions the pers, as who claim g the forsaken
news-sheets are guessed at by the sorters and in order
to pacify the Liberal politici to or the rigid Conservative
who may have objectionable papers sent them, the fol-
lowing missive is dispatched ass balm, bearing the signa-
ture of Colonel Moberly : averal newspapers having
escaped from their covers it a the newspaper office this
morning, from the imperfect .canner in which they were
enclosed in them, they have been replaced as correctly
as possible ; but as the accona ponying Paper may not be
the one originally intended f 4 tr you, I beg to explain,
that the inconvenience you ten ty be subjected to has not
been occasioned by this depart ment.—Civil and Mercan
tile Journal.
SLIM'SVRECK G) (ANT'S r. AT THE ....AUSY.—O
Monday night the schooner it spokesman, Bell WA,
mastner,
from Liverpool to Derry, lade a with cannel coal, came
on shore at Portnogher, a tot al wreck. The foremast,
anchors, and chains, were goe e, and a great part of the
bottom knocked out. The 1 og- book and papers were
found, but no entry had been :made from the previous
Thursday. The fate of the c row has not been ascer-
tained, but it is feared all ham is may have been lost.—
Coleraine Chronicle.
STOURBRIDGE.—TEE GLA SS TRADE.--We regret
to hear that the depression in. this trade has occasioned
the masters to discharge man y of their men, as, during
the last few weeks, they I la ve not had a sufficient
number of orders to employ' t 'nem more than two or
three days per week, and cannt, t continue to support the
whole of them with that limite d amount of employment
without giving a part of them . notice, which has thrown
numbers from the various gins. s 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,t iefore Mr. Commissioner
Barlow and a jury composed r seventeen magistrates
and freeholders of the county, ', to inquire into the state
of mind of Mr. John Wood WI llie, a retired surgeon in
the East India Company's ser vice, late of Hollywood-
place, Fulham-road, and now a n inmate of Kensington
House Asylum, Kensington. Mr. Willie, who was
present, handed in a protest, after which ho left the
room. Evidence was then got .e into, and ultimately the
inquiry was adjourned.
