THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The Secretary of the
Admiralty, in reply to a communication, has stated that the
Lords of the Admiralty will give direutions for the British
and North American mail steam-ships to call at Holyhead,
whenever the pier at that place is sufficiently advanced to
afford shelter to the packets; and it is expected that may be
the case at the end of this year. There is not the slightest
probability of the steamers being removed from Liverpool.
They will merely call at Holyhead for some of the mails.—
Liverpool Mercury.

On Thursday last Lord Frederick Fitzclarence
inspected the depot of the 69th Regiment, stationed at Chi-
chester, under the command of Major Mackirdy, and ex-
pressed in the highest terms his perfect satisfaction. This
corps fired a feu de joie in honour of her: Majesty's birthda
on the 31st, in the Priory-park, at the request of the mayoyr
and citizens, and afterwards went through a variety of evo-
lutions in presence of a large assemblage of the inhabitants
of Chichester and neighbourhood.

E ITENSIVE FIRE.—A very extensive fire broke
out yesterday (Tuesday) at the coal depot of the Birming-
ham and Blackwall Railway, at the Caledonia-road, sup_
posed to be owing to a spark or piece of coke from the loco-
motive engine falling upon the extensive timber coal shutes
just finished. The flames threatene 3 not only to stop the
traffic of the line, but also the destruction of the adjoining
building belonging to ➢lr. Cubitt's bricl-yard. The engine be-
longing to the Model Prison was immediately brought out un-
der the direction of the efficient staff of the establishment, and
in a few minutes was in full activity, obtaining a supply of
water from a well on Mr. Cubitt's premises. This timely as-
sistance, by great personal exertion., quelled the fire, but
not until great damage had been done. The fire brigade
having arrived, and an additional supply of water having
been got from the mains, all fear of further damage was at an
end by three o'clock.
