THE LAUNCH OF THE TEAZEB.—CHATHAM, JUNE 20.
—This vessel was launched this day, from the lower slip in
the dock-yard, in the presence of a number of spectators. At
the head of the vessel was a platform erected for the purpose
of performing the ceremony of christening, &c., on which

Captain-superintendent of the yard, Captain W. H. Shirreff,
led the amiable daughter of Colonel J. B. Parker, of the
Royal Artillery, to that part of the platform where she was
to officiate, who having dashed the suspended bottle of
wine against the bows of the vessel, named it the Teazer.
The work of splitting out the blocks from under her
keel then commenced, and the iron ballast descending,
knocked away the dog-shores, and in a second she "rushed
sublimely to the floating deep." She is a beautifully, con-
structed boat, and is to be fitted with two engines of fifty
horse power, with a screw propeller. She is built
two upon a-
a
new principle, with three thicknesses of oak plank, di
gonally, and one fore and aft; she is to carry one long gun

JEWISH FREEMASONS —IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE
GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND.—The Grand Lodge of England
has, after a correspondence and remonstrance, conducted by
the Earl of Zetland and the Grand Secretary, resolved to
withdraw their representative from the Grand Lodge at
Berlin, in consequence of the refusal of the Russian Lodges
to admit Jews to their meetings, though such Jews have di-
plomas of the Grand Lodge of England. The representativ ines-
of the Grand Lodge of Berlin in this country, is to be
formed that he can no longer be acknowledgede or take is
seat in the Grand Lodge of England in his official characther
of representative.
FIRE AT THE GEORGE AND BLUE 130 Any 'HOLBORN.
—Last night, between ten and eleven, a fire that at one ti
threatened very serious consequences, broke out in the
upper part of the booking-office, attached to the George an('
Blue Boar, Holborn. The flames commenced, from some
unknown cause, in one of the top rooms, and extended front
thence through the roof. Several engines of the London
Fire Establishment, with the West of England one, and two
escapes of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from
Fire, quickly attended. The flames having obtained such a
strong hold of the building, it was found impossible to sub-
due the fire without the aid of an engine. The one front
Holborn station was therefore instantly set to work, and by
carrying the hose up the staircase the firemen were enabled
to discharge the water in the right quarter, and in a short
period the flames were entirely extinguished. The damage
done is, considering the magnitude of the premises, not very
considerable. The property, we understand, is fully insured.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—A very alarming and destruc-
tive fire broke out, shortly before twelve o'clock last night,
on the premises of Messrs. Miles and Edwards, upholsterers,
of Oxford-street. The rear of the house, in the main street,
is flanked by extensive workshops, which run back into Red
Lion-yard, a narrow turning, leading out of Vere-street. In
the upper story of these workshops the fire broke out. m
Fro
the inflammable nature of the contents the flames spread
with surprising rapidity, and in the course of a few minutes
burst through the roof, illumining the whole western dis-
tricts of the metropolis. The engine belonging to the parish
of Marylebone was early on the spot ; but owing to the
great height of the warehouses, it was utterly ineffectual is
keeping down the fire, and great fears were some time enter-
tained that the flames would extend to the adjoining pre-
mises, right and left. On the arrival of the b
three active officers ascendedrigade firemeoln+.
however, two or to the roofs
the adjoining houses, and dragged up the hose of their re-
spective engines, from which a great body of water Was
poured on that portion of the warehouses where the fire WO
the strongest. Thus it was happily extinguished in little
more than half an hour after the outbreak. Among lithe
spectators at the fire were a great number of the nobilityr,
who were just about taking their departure from LadyLyirtr
hurst's assembly, in George-street.
FIRE AT EDMONTON.—Late on Thursday evening,o"
most destructive fire happened at the homestead of Sr'
Board, at Edmonton, within a few yards of the line of th.c!
Eastern Counties Railway. It was discovered in a barn, well
stocked with agricultural implements and corn; and ere
assistance could arrive to check its progress at so early a
stage, the flames extended over the whole building. Ihe
first object of those drawn to the spot was to rescue the
horses from a range of stabling which adjoined the barn;
this effected, similar precautions were adopted for the pre-
servation of the other portion of the live stock, and ths
cattle being secured from danger, vigorous attempts N'lT'e,_w
made to subdue the flames. Owing to the direction of ,
wind, however, two large clover stacks and one of
whes
became ignited, the whole presenting a fearful confiagrg
a"
tion. Engines from Edmonton, Enfield, and neighbourin
parishes were promptly brought to the werespot,anda good
supply of water being procured from a ditch, they
supply effectual operation. By cutting off te communication
