the vicarage of Camberwell, and the right of presents•
tion, subject to the life of the preseat incumbent, who
is forty-four years of age, were offered for sale by auc-
tion yesterday at Garraway's. Tho particulars stated
the gross income of the vicarage to be 2,2441. 15s. Ild.,
from the tithe rent charge, ground rents, surplice fees,
and Easter offerings, from which the outgoings were
1401 Ils. There was a full attendance, and a good deal
of discussion took place upon the terms of the sale and
other points. The first tffer was 10,0004, the highest
12,6001. The reserve was 12,7001., and that amount not
beinz bid the sale was not effected.

NOTTINGHAM HOUSES NEVER BURNT.—At Not•
tingham, where gypsum abounds, the flours of all houses
were, till of late years, universally formed by an almost
exactly similar process to that employed at Paris—stout
reeds, however, being strewed over the joists as a basis,
instead of split battens. The practice at Nottingham
adds small coal and cinders to the plaster of t'aris
(gypsum) in making the mortar, and the surface is at
once trowelled over to finish. In this manner is pro-
duced an almost indestructible floor, capable of any
surface, and so secure a protection against fire, through
its imperviousness to air, that, notwithstanding the un-
ceiled and exposed joists below, houses in Nottingham
are said never to be burnt, whilst the floors are said to
be free alike from damp and from vermin.—Builder.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Gentleman Sixty Years of
Age Cured of a Dreadful Bad Leg by Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills.—Mr. Nicholas Page, residing at New-
sham, had been suffering for three years with wounds on
his leg of a most awful nature, to cure which he tried a
great variety of specifics, and consulted nearly every
surgeon within twenty miles of his house, yet all failed
to give relief ; as a last resource he used Holloway's
famous Ointment and Pills, which healed his leg in a few
weeks. In gratitude for the wonderful cure effected at
his advanced age, he thus gives every publicity to the
circumstance, that others may derive similar benefit.—
Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's esta-
blishment, 244, Strand, London.

T.. PORT OF HAVRE.—New conferences have
been opened between the military officers of engineers
and the head engineer of the port of Havre, to operate
an almost complete change on the works that are to be
undertaken for the defence of the town. The plan is
now far more extensive than that of 1846. In fact, the
first estimate of expenses was only sixteen millions,
whereas at present the sum calculated on is not less than
64,195,700 f.
