A large collection of Italian sculpture, recently arrived
from Volterra, has been removed to Robins' Auction Rooms
for public sale. It embraces numberless groups and figures,
exquisitely sculptured in alabaster,presenting beautiful orna-
ments for the drawing-room, whilst the variety of form of
vase and tazza cannot fail to please the connoisseur, copies
from all the celebrated models in the numerous galleries at
Rome, Naples, and Florence, enriching this extensive con-
signment. The sale is on Thursday.
The Bristol Journal has the following:—" We have
heard that inquiries have been made at Clifton for a house of
sufficient size to accommodate the Queen Dowager and suite,
as it is stated that her Majesty has some intention of spend-
ing two or three months there in the course of the year.
TAKE OF HERRINGS.—We are happy to state that the
greatest take of herrings within the memory of the oldest in-
habitants of this island, has occurred in our bay (Dugort)
during the last three weeks. We may safely state that up-
wards of 300,000 herrings were caught, and sold at fair
prices, averaging from Is. 3d. to 3s. per hundred. The fish
were of snore than ordinary size.—"lchill Herald.
Mr. Neville is not going to resign the representation
of Windsor, as stated in some of the papers of yesterday.
EXTENSIVE SLIP OF EARTH• Wong.. ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.—A large slip of as embankment supporting
the down rail of the Great Western Railway ,occurred on Saturday night
last. The heavy rains which h.i ye fallen for some weeks past: have
produced a prejudicial effect upon the earth-works of the line, and has
no doubt rendered them at many points less secure. The slip oc-
curred between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night, not
very long before the six o'clock up-train from Bristol was due. The
embankment gave way for a considerable distance, and slipped from
under the up-rail, which was left supported ealy by some of the
wood-work. A number of men are engaged in repairing the damage,
and it is expected it will cost the company above 1,000/,
DISASTROUS INCENDIARY FIRE.—CAMBRIDG
E FEB.
7.—Early on Saturday morning a fire was discoVered on the pre-
mises of Mr. Free, an extensive fanner at Bottesham in this county.
The whole of the premises, with the exception of the dwelling-
house, together with about one hundred and thirty coombs of wheat,
the like quantity of barley, and other agricultural produce, various
implements, a valuable cart horse, and some fat swine, were entirely
destroyed. The fire, in consequence of a brisk wind, speedily spread
to the adjoining farm, the property of Mr. John King, which soon
shared the same fate as his neighbour's, the house only being saved.
here also corn, hay, implements, &c., were destroyed to as large an
extent as on Mr Free's premises. Seine out-buildings in the occu-
pation of 'Mr. King, glazier, were also consumed, nor was this all,
fir Unhappily the wind being very high, sparks were conveyed by it
to some cottages on the opp,,site side of the village, belonging to
Mr. Parker, which soon ignitci, and fifteen dwellings were soon one
blazing mass. Twenty poor families have been thus deprived 0" a
home, and it was truly heartreliding to see the poor croatures with
only their night-clothes on, running with their families they knew
not whither, in search of a place of shelter, while others were en-
deavouring to rescue their small stock of furniture. The Norwich
Union engine from Cambrilge arrived at four o'clock; but at that
hour tirowti
Sri and Bottesham engines were, and had been for
some time, in full work. The property we understaz.d is insured,
but the loss we fear considerably exceeds the amount of the policies.
No doubt existed from the first that the fire originated from the
hand of an incendlar y, and there is, we rejoice to say, every hope
111., tin thl,i the miscreant will be brought to justice. A man
"
named Webb, but commonly called Squirrell," was taken into cus-
tody at the fire, and examined this morning before George Jenyns,
Esq., et the Swan Inn, Dotteshain. The incliji”ras proung
when we left.
