RUMOURED LOSS BY FIRE OF ONE OF THE HA-
LIFAX AND BOSTON STEAMERS.
The following is a letter received at Lloyd's this morning
from their agent at Dublin, dated 15th inst., the substance
of which no doubt gave rise to the rumour that one of the
Halifax and Borten line of steamers had been destroyed
by fire :

" Dublin, Oct. 15th, 184 g.
" Captain Roche, of the Torrence, reports that on the 30th
ult.. at 10 o'clock r.ar., steering E.S.E., he fell in with a
ship on fire to the northward. He immediately altered his
course, and ran down to her, going as close as he could with
prudence in the then crippled state of the Torrence. As well
as he could judge, she had been on fire some time, as her
decks were all burnt excepting the topgallant forecastle.
Flames were issuing out of the stern windows. From the
time that Captain Roche made her out first he hoisted lights,
in order that. should any of the crew or passengers happen
to have taken to the boats and be in the neigh-
bourhood, they might see the position of the Torrence.
During the night he ran clear before the wind, keeping a
good look out, a heavy sea being on at the time. Captain
Roehe's reasons for supposing the vessel to have been a
steamer are—a short straight bowsprit, two tier of cabin win-
dows aft, sharp bows, high out of the water. He could per-
ceive irons on both sides amid-ships, where the paddles of a
steamer would Li ; but from the smoke and the thicknem of
the weather, he could not clear:y ascertain what she was. On
he larboard bow he saw a small air port open."
From Liverpool, Lloyd's have received_the following from
....

I
their Agent The remains of a vessel of about 356 tons,
that had recently been burnt, with the Astrea from Wey-
mouth to Quebec lying by, was passed on the 25th ult., in
lat. 45, lon. 53, by the Cambyses, arrived here. This is the
only vessel reported on fire, besides the one noticed by the
Torrence at Dublin, the latter of which was reported to be
a steamer ; they were probably both derelicts, set on fire by
some passing vessels, whose safety had been endangered by
them."

ROYAL BENEVOLENCE.—The whole of the chesnuts
grown upon the royal domains in the Great Park at
Windsor have been placed at the disposal of the paro-
chial authorities for the purpose of their being sold and
the proceeds applied towards the relief of the poor of the
parish, in any way which may be considered by the
churchwardens and overseers most conducive to their
comforts during the approaching winter. The quantity
already gathered amounts to upwards of six hundred
bushels. At the present market price of chesnuts it is
expected that they will realise at least one hundred
pounds. A large quantity still remain to be gathered ;
and it is expected, when the whole are housed, there will
be very nearly one thousand bushels.
