TERRIFIC CONFLAGRATION. Shortly after one
o'clock this morning, a fire, attended with a serious de-
struction of property, and which for the space of an
hour lighted up the whole of the metropolis and suburban
districts, broke out in an immense pile of premises be-
longing to Mr. Law, a feather manufacturer, situate on
the banks of the Royal Surrey Canal, near the Kent-
road-bridge. The premises in question occupied a con-
siderable space of ground, and at the time of the calamity
were well stored with goods of a costly character, the
whole of which, with little exception, have fallen a prey
to the flames. On the earliest information of the out-
break;numerous engines'of the London Brigade and West
of England Company started to the scene, when the fire-
men found the entire range of premises in one great
sheet of flame, the heat from which was so great that
the adjoining whiting factory and other buildings were
actually smoking and in several places were on fire.f
The engines having been conveyed along the banks of
the canal, they were set to work, and although several
tons tons of water were momentarily discharged overat tbeffiore
it continued to progress most fearfully, so

We have heard it rumoured that there area few
foreigners who are making themselves busy in respect to
the Chartist demonstration about to take place undo r
Mr. Feargus O'Connor. We Englishmen leave- foreign
nations to settle their affairs without interference of any
kind on our part, and we feel assured if it should turn
out that there is any truth in the above mentioned
rumour, that the police and special constables will know
how to deal with such gentlemen in cases where they
may be found meddling with unlawful proceedings in our
morns.— Timei,

News from the Islands—All the islands in the West
Indies were reported to be healthy, but all groaning
with the same complaint—want of labourers. The
Spaniards are now commencing sending labourers from
the Canaries. One small ship full of them sailed from
Porte Rico the day the Medway left.

IMPORTANT FROM THE MOSQUITO SHORE.
The R.-. M. C.. steamer Medway arrived yesterday
morning from Chagres, bringing the new 6 of the capture
of the Upper and Lower Forts on the Oregon River, by
the boats of 11. M. ship Alarm, Captain Loch, the steamer
Vixen, and brig Daring; and a detachment of the 38th
Regiment; the whole in the command of Captain Loch,
with Commanders Rider and Peel in command of their
own boats. The lower forts showed much resistance,
, but the lcss in the boats was trifling; one man killed, and
a midshipman wounded. The wounded and prisoners
were sent on boSid the Alarm—some of the former had
died.—Jamaica Timea, March 6.
The following are some details of this affair:—
Her Majesty's ships Daring and Alarm, and the
Vixen (steamer) were at St. Juan's, Nicaragua, with a
view of settling some mistinderstarOing or dispute
between the New Grenadian Government and the King
of the Mosquitos, whose cause England.had espoused.
The ships, in addition to their crews, had a detach-
ment of the 38th Regiment, the whole under the com-
mand of Captain Loch, of her. Majesty's ship Alarm,
with Commanders Peel and Rider in command of their
own ships' boats. The expedition left St. Juan's on the
7th of February. They had previously taken and de-
stroyed a small fort about half a mile up th& river with-
out any resistance. The lower forts, howeWr, of Sara-
pique, about twenty-five miles up the river, offered some
resistance, but the loss was trifling, one man killed and
a midshipman wounded; while the loss on shore
amounted to six or eight. An officer and a few men
were left in charge while a party proceeded up the
river toward another fort situated near the Lake
Nicaragua. •
On the 26th of February dispatches were received at
St. Juan's. The Fort or Castillo del San Carlos had
been taken without any resistance, the New Grenadian
soldiers having fled on the approach of the boats.
Captain Loch had sent an officer to the city of Gre-
nada to make terms with the Government.
The subjoined are particulars 'of the killed and
wounded in this assault and capture:—
Her Majesty's steamer Vixen—Mr. Turner, midship-
man, badly wounded. Killed—Charles Fowell, captain
of the foretop.
Wounded—William Coombs, bo severe] •P. Nagle,
seaman, ditto ; James Hooper, y'
Wright, marine, lost three fingers..seaman, dttto; and W.
Her Majesty's ship Alarm—One seaman killed.

Captain Loch, and Mr. Feiner, midshipman, had
narrow escape, and cut three men down.
The action lasted forty minutes, and resulted in the
capture of fort Serapique, with a loss to the enemy of
0 killed and wounded and 10 prisoners.
We regret to add that Patrick Walker, Esq., her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul General to the King of Mus-
quito, was unfortunately drowned in proceeding up the
river St.4Juan. It appears that he was in one of the
Loats d the squadron, and while asleep the boat was
suddenly surprised, as they supposed, by canoes; and
while the seamen were procuring their arms from the
chest in the stern of the beat, Mr. Walker and another
gentleman unfortunately fell overboard; the latter was
picked up, but Mr. Walker could not be found. Thus
has the service lost a useful officer, and society at large
a valuable member.—Jamaica limes, March 6.
NEW
COLONIAL CURRENCY.—The following is ex-
tracted from a private letter from Barbadoes :
" There is no money here, and the labourers are
working for a bitt a day, payable in sweet potatoes,
which may be considered as the silver currency of the
island; yams, being a more valuable commodity, may be
termed the gold currency!"
We regret to announce the death of Lieutenant-
Colonel Capadose, Ist West India Regiment, which
melancholy event took place at Up Park Camp on
Monday evening. Colonel Capadobe hail only lately
assumed the general command as senior officer, on the
death of Major-General Lambert, and was very gene-
rally respected. The deceased had been suff,,ring for
some days from dysentery. The command now devolves
on Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Campbell, Bart., com-
manding the 38th Regiment at Newcastle.
Her Majesty's ship Vindictive, having on board Sir
F. W. Austin, K.C.8., arrivee. at Port Royal, last
Grenada, yesterday.—Jamaica Times, March 2.

TUNG STON MARKETS.
(From De Cordova 's Mercantile Intelligcneer.)
No change of any importance has taken place in the
state of business since our last report, except the occur-
rence of a trifling improvement in the price of sugar and
rum, owing to the reduction of the stock at market.
Money continues scarce, without the immediate pro-
spect of the stringency of the market being relaxed.

hilarity her representation of the Young Widow. Mel-

E. Lovegrove was illimitable as the self-taught-dictionary
