DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION-

GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY.
On •
Friday night, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, a fire brokeou t in Mr. Chadwick's wool mill,
From
at Villafield.some unaccountable misma-
nagement, intelligence of the fact did not reach the
police-office, till half-past one on Saturday morning.
Two engines were immediately dispatched. They
arrived to see four huge, smouldering walls, where,
yesterday, there was
mill. Some delay
occurred before the en-
gines were brought fairly into action, and
then their agency wasused for the purpose of
preserving the
outhousesmain building. Other twothree-storied engines speedily arrived.
was filled with a l one, and, we be-
lieve,arge and valuable stock of
wool and worsted. Theh _fire, it is said, broke out in
the first floor of the
thisu lding, in proximity to the
boiler, but no facts onepointare definitely. ascer-
tained. It is said that building is insured,. but
not the goods. An
additional burden, we fear, is by
this melancholy catastrophe,thrown -
on our unem-
ployed list.
While we go to press, the
firemen
are still direct-
ing their attention to the outhouses, which appear to
be in considerable danger.
The scene which the conflagration presented was
grand. Large masses of the burning material were
continually being thrown into the air, and the snow
wreaths, which have been driving about all the morn-
ing, had a beautiful appearance, reddened by the
glare of the flames. A large concourse of people
assembled during the height of the conflagration, but
d.
1 they have now dispersed.
Mr. Chadwick, we believe, has a navy contract in
1 hand.—Aberdeen Herald.

SUICIDE OF LOAD MIDDLETON.-GODALkEING,SA-
TURDAY.—We lament to :record an event which has
overwhelmed an eminent and noble family in affliction,
and the whole neighbourhoods of Paperharrow and
Goldalming in consternation. The unfortunate deceased
(Lord Middleton), a man in the prime of life, had been
tor soma time rather eccentric in his manner, arising, it
was understood, from family matters. He had latterly
resided almost alone in the superbly decorated mansion
at Paperharrow-park, a short distance from Godalming.
On the morning of Wednesday last an old servant of his
Lordship's, feeling uneasy at not seeing his master up
at the usual time, went to his bedroom to see if he was
ill, but on entering found that his Lordship was not
there. He went and searched the house, and on enterin,7
a small room was horror-struck at finding his noble
on the ground, and an appearance of blood
master lying
issuing from his mouth. On the poor old man touching
his Lordship's chest, he found it perfectly cold. Ile
nevertheless instantly dispatched the steward on horse-
back for the medical aid of Messrs. Steadman, who at-
tended his Lordship professionally. Mr. Steadman
im-
mediately proceeded to Paperharrow-park, but found that
Lord Middleton had been dead some hours, and that
death had been caused by the noxious fumes of charcoal.
flis Lordship's will was lying on a table near, as well as
a ring he usually were
and a plow, illo
was fetched from the
deceased Nobleman's bed-room, lying near the bra-
zier, and on it his Lordship's head was reclined. Let-
ters were also found indicative of his Lordship's inten-
tion to destroy his life. The afflicted lady of the de-
ceased arrived at Paperharrow park on Thursday, and it
is stated that she Has in the act of writing to his Lord-
ship, stating her intention of returning home when the
messenger arrived with the dreadful news. His Lord•
shig dies without issue, and is succeeded by Charles
Brodicke, son of the late Archbishop of Cashel, and
brother to the former incumbent of Shalford.
The Queen has appointed Idr. Henry' Halford
Vaughan, M.A., of the Inner Temple, Barrister, to be
the Regius Professor of Modern History in the Univer-
sity of Oxiord. •
