FIRES YESTERDAY.

Between two and three o'clock yesterday morning,
a mounted express arriving at the London fire-engine
stations, with intelligence of a serious fire having
broken out at Golden-green, Hendon, about ten miles
from London, two of the brigade engines were imme-
diately dispatched to the place, on reaching which
the firemen found the extensive farmyard belonging
to Mr. G. J. Morant in flames. There seemed every
probability of the entire property falling a prey to the
destructive element. Strenuous exertions were made
to cut off the further extension of the fire. A vast
quantity of rye, straw, and hay was soon destroyed,
but the engines being immediately set to work from a
pond, the flames were so far subdued as to allay all
fears of any further mischief. The origin of the fire
is not precisely known '• but it is generally supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss,
it is understood, will fall on the Westminster Fire-
office. A short time previous to this another fire
happened in one of the large double mansions num-
bered 3 and 4, St. James's-road, Liverpool-road, Hol-
loway, the property of Mr. Alexander Ward, builder,
of Frederick-terrace, Hampstead-road. When dis-
covered, the flames were issuing from the lower
windows with great impetuosity. Messengers were
dispatched for proper aid, and with all possible ex-
pedition the escapes of the Royal Society arrived, as
well as the engines .of the parish, London Brigade,
and West of England-office. Fortunately the fire-
men succeeded in extinguishing the conflagration, but
not until great damage was done, which was thus
officially reported :—" No. 3 burned out, part of roof
'burned off of No. 4, and the floors damaged by fire.
The premises were insured in the Guardian Fire-
office." About the same hour a fire took place in the
premises of Mr. Murphy, a green-grocer, No. 11,
Mint-street, Borough ; but owing to its timely dis-
covery was soon extinguished. A fourth outbreak
happened about one hour previous in the premises of
G. Jordan, a bootmaker, No. 22, Murray-street,
Camden New-town. It was caused by a cat
upsetting a lamp in the ground floor back, which set
the apartment in a blaze. Considerable damage was
done to the premises and their contents. Mr. Jordan
was insured in ,the Alliance-office. Another fire,
which occurred during the same night, was occasioned
by some boys letting off fireworks in Fair-field,
Stepney-road, which, falling on the roof of a building
belonging to Mr. Marsh, rope manufacturer, set the
building in flames, but the damage done was incon-
siderable.

ENTHRONEMENT OF' THE ROMAN CATHOLIC Bl-
snor OF NOTTINGHAM.—The ceremony of the enthronement
of a Roman Catholic Bishop of Nottingham is fixed to take
place on Tuesday, the 2d of December. The arrangements
for the inauguration are of a most imposing anti magnificent
character. Several wealthy lay members of this sect have
contributed liberally towards decorating the various chapels
clustered together under.the roof of St. Barnabas, the Romish
" cathedral" of Nottingham. All the priests of the so-called
diocese are invited to take part in the proceedings. Cardinal
NViseman, it is understood, will not be present. Dr. Ulla-
thorne, " Bishop of Birmingham," will, however, take a con-
spicuous part in the proceedings. The admission is to be only
by tickets, for which,the prices are rather high. Dr. Hendren,
whose name became rather notorious a short time ago, in re-
ference to the affair of Miss Talbot, is the new "bishop."
RAPID COMMUNICATION.--The death of the King
of Hanover, as our rtaders, will see in anothor part of our
paper, occurred at Hanover yesterday morning, and the in-
telligence of the melancholy event reached the office of the
Moving Post at nine o'clock the same evening; having been
forwarded to Paris by telegraph, and thence by electric and
sub-marine telegraph, to London.—t Post.

THB WEATHER..—From Sunday evening up to, the
time at which we write,. the weather has been exceedingly.
cold and stormy. A gale of win,' has been blowing from the
north-west for many hours, and the falls of snow have been
so heavy that the earth has been covered with it to the depth
of from four to six inches. There is every prospect of an-
other very boisterous night. We fear there will be many
shipping disasters to record. A large number of vessels have
sought shelter in Harwich harbour, amongst which are many
colliers that are unable to make their passage to the north.
In consequence of the prevalent winds the arrivals of coal-
laden vessels at this port have been fewer than usual.
