COAST OF AFRICA STATION. -
Our correspondence from the coast states that since
the new treaty with Brazil the slave trade has received a
great check, and the commerce with Brazil has nearly
ceased in consequence of slaves being the only article
given in exchange for rum and tobacco. A sad of any
nation is now rarely seen. By news from the various
slave stations, we hear that they are in the most de-
plorable condition, in consequence of the strict blockade
maintained by the squadron and boatsl The largest
dealer in Porto Novo says that if he can dispose of those
slaves he has on hand he will abandon the traffic for ever;
but his word must not be taken.
Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey, has done the best
on the coast. She is a perfect man-of-war, and Captain
Patey is one of the best cruisers on the coast. Ia all she
has taken nine prizes—the last a full one, off Prince's
Island, on Christmas-day.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT WOLVER-
HAMPTON.

One of the most extensive conflegrations that has pro-
bably ever taken place in Wolverhampten occurred on
Wednesday night last, when the steam corn-mill of
Messrs. Norton, in Horsley-fields, was entirely destroyed,
together with an immense stock of grain, flour, and the
whole of the machinery. Some of the men, it appears,
were engaged on the premises till nearly twelve o'clock
at night, when they left, leaving everything apparently
safe. About one o'clock the building was discovered to
be on fire, dense volumes of smoke, followed by flames,
issuing from the windows, and in a brief space of time
the upper portion of the mill, where the fire commented,
was enveloped in flames. As soon as the circumstance
became kno en, the various fire-engines stationed in the
town, four in number, were quickly brought to the spot,
and there being an abundant supply of water, owing ,o
the mill being situated close by the side of the canal,
they were soon brought into action. The head which the
fire had gained, however, combined with the height of
the building (five stories), presented obstacles that the
most energetic and persevering efforts were unable to
surmount; and it soon became evident that all attempts
to save the mill must prove fruitless, and the effor.s of
the firemen were principally directed with a view to pre-
vent the flames from spreading to the adjoining build-
ings, which consisted of two sets of store rooms and a
residence. In this they were successful, and the fire
was confined to the mill. About two o'clock the build-
ing appeared in the full possession of the devouring
element, the whole of the upper story and the roof beirg
one mass of fire, the flames ascending much higher than
the tall engine chimney adjoining, Illuminating the
country for miles. Until four o'clock the fire held un-
disputed sway, but as the flames gradually descended,
the full force of the engines could be then brought to
bear upon them, and the fire was gradually but slowly
subdued. About six o'clock all danger of its spreading
seemed past, although large masses of corn and wheat
were still on fire, and on these and the building the
engines continued alternately to play till two o'clock on
Friday afternoon. The books of the firm, &c., and a
portion of the wheat and flour on the premises, were
rescued from the flames, but by far the larger portion
of the grain was so burnt and saturated as to be
valueless.

AT a MEETING of Ministers and Gentlemen
connected with the Congregational Churches of England and
Wales, held at Radley's Hotel, on Friday, May 16, 1851, and numer-
ously attended,
The Rev. JOHN KELLY, of Liverpool, in the Chair,
The question of the MAR. rIAGE or a WIDOWER with his
DECEASED VI'IFIE'S SISTER having been submitted to the meet-
RI, it was (with one dissentient) resolved
1. That such a marriage is not contrary either to the letter or
Spirit of the Word of God.
2. That, therefore, neither secular nor ecclesiastical law ought to
forbid it.

The origin of the fire is unknown. It has been attri-
buted to the friction of the spiudies of the brushes caus-
ing the wood iu the immediate neighbourhood to ignite,
from whence it spread to the other parts of the building.
The premises, it appears, was also lighted with gas,
which was carried throughout the building, and had Rot
been turned off at the meter when the men left. Owing
to this circumstance, the progress of the flames was ma
teriellv quickened, for as each gas-pipe became melted
or broken, a fresh and continuous supply of combustible
matter was afforded. The spot where the gas main
entered the building and communicated with the meter
was inaccessible owing to the flames, and it was deter-
mined to cut through the main in the roadway, which
was accordingly done; but some time necessarily elapsed
before the ground could be excavated, and it was about
two hours before the gas was cut off from the building.
About half-past ten on Thursday morning the fire
amongst the grain, flour, &c., still being very fierce, it
was deemed advisable that additional force should be ob-
tained to extinguish it, fears being entertained that the
great weight arising from the successive falling of the
various floors would prove too great for the outward
walls of the building, and cause their fall. Accordingly
W. Rogers, Esq., rode over to Walsall, and obtained
the assistance of the Norwich and the Birmingham
Fire-office engines, which were rapidly conveyed to the
spot, and materially assisted in checking the fire amongst
the grain.
As soon as it was at all practicable, gangs of men were
employed in removing the flour, grain, &c., and great
quantities of the semi-burnt grain were shovelled into
boats which were brought alongside the building.
The wall of the building fronting the canal is in a very
dangerous state, being denuded of all support from the
interior until the bottom of the erection, and from its
extent and height presents a very singular appearance.l
Several times apprehensions that it would fall were en-
tertained, and the parties working the engines momen-
tarily retreated from their dangerous vicinity. Other
portions of the building were propped up with timber,
but this coarse could not be adopted towards the canal.
With regard to the damage various statements are
current, but it is generally thought it will amount to
about 20,000/. The building, we learn, bad scarcely
ever been so full of grain, containing at least 12,000
bags, which were double stacked in the different
stores. During the course of Wednesday, 450 bugs of
wheat were delivered at the mill.
Messrs. Norton, it is stated, are insured to some ex-
tent, and the sum of 8,000/. and 13,0001. have both been
named as the limit. There is little:doubt, however, that
a severe loss must accrue to the firm by the stoppage of
much of their business, independent of any absolute loss
hy the fire.
Many gentlemen of the town were present at the fire,
and actively engaged. The police force, under Colonel
Hogg, and a detachment of the 50th Foot, under the
command of Lieut,nant Galton, were of essential ser-
vice, the soldiers helping at the engines, besides keeping
the ground so as to prevent the crowd from impeding
the working of the engineg.
Withcut wishing to impute blame in any quarter, we
are only reiterating the almost universally expressed
opinion that the existing arrangements of the town are
utterly inadequate to meet calamities like the present.
The fire-engines aro not sufficiently num( roue or
powerful, nor in that efficiency which a town like
Wolverbimpton requires. However, the present occur-
rence will doubtless force the subject upon the public
authorities.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

On Saturday the period fur ss. admissions terminated,
and in a manner which reminded one of the last night
of a favourite actor. There were thousands assembled at
the entrances Wore the doors opened, and when twelve
o'clock struck no excited and expectant audience ever
rushed into the pit of a theatre with greater eagerness.
Each party haetoned off to make sure of the tiret view of
come particular object, and in a space o; time which
appall-ad incredibly short the galleries and nave were
swarming with visitors. During the morning a few ei-
sitors in Bath-chairs, having a spacial privilege accorded
to them on account of their infirmity, were allowed to
enter and be wheeled round. Just before twelve they
collected in a circle round the " Koh-i-noor," of which
they were determined to have the first sight as it emerged
from the iron prison which confines it. A little incident
like this well illustrates the curiosty which is felt about
the far-famed diamond, which is, after all, a great dis-
eppoiutment in the effect which it predates on almost
everybody who sees it. From twelve till four o'clock
the influx of people never ceesed for a moment, and
some idea of tee vest numbers assembled may be formed
from the fact that 5,0781. was taken at the doors. There
were thus during the day 20,312 persons who paid the
ss. entrance fce, and the number of season-ticket holders
could not have been less than 10,000 to 15,000, making
altogether from 30,000 to 35,000 visitors. From
the habit of crowding into the nave, which
is still persevered in, that part of the building
appeared well filled on Saturday, more so, indeed, than
we have yet seen it, but the interior had ample accom-
modation for thousands of people, and there were one or
two parts that remained almost deserted. We would
suggest that all the seats in the centre aisle, or, at least,
&considerable portion of them, should at, once 'be re-
moved into the less attractive parts of the collection,
and that those who want to rest should do so in the
departments dedicated to raw produce, where their
fatigue can be turned to sufficiently profitable account
without being a source of obstruction. On Saturday the
police were, for the first time, active in guiding the
streams of visitors flowing in different directions. Their
arrangements answered well upon the whole, and if at-
tended with some inconvenience, they are likely to have
one excellent effect in putting an end to mere idle saun-
tering. A large party from the University of Oxford
visited the Exhibition on Saturday, and in accordance
with the announcement on that subject made by us some
days ago, took a systematic survey of the interior. Pro-
fessors Cowper and Ansted are successfully pursuing the
course of lectures and practical illustration which they
nave undertaken, and their example is likely soon to be
followed by other men of high scientific attainments.
Were their hours not quite so early as at present, a
;rest benefit would be conferred, for there are many
people who would gladly attend their classes if doing so
fid not require such a sacrifice of morning slumbers.
In connexion with the Exhibition we have several
times drawn attention to the model house for the labour-
ing classes erected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert
at the Cavalry Barracks, Hyde-park. The subject is
one of great importance, and a visit to the building,
which is now completed, will be found very instructive.
For some time past a lively interest has been taken in
this matter by the most philanthropic men of the age,
,or both in teen amid country the sanitary deft cts of the
dwellings of the poor were felt to be a reproach upon
our civilization. There were obstacles, however, in the
way which it was found extremely difficult to over-
come. In the first place, the question of expense pre-
sented itself. Cottages were erected very pretty to look
at, and a vast improvement in their internal arrangement
on the old forms of dwellings in use, but when they
were completed it was found that the cost, as compared
with the ordinary rate of wages, precluded the idea of
their extensive adoption, and that as trade speculations
they would not answer. Considerate landlords have ne-
vertheless provided, in many instances, convenient and
comfortable accommodation for their workpeople, ac-
tuated by a laudable desire to see them comfortable;
and the Society for Improving the Condition of the
Labouring Classes has erected model lodging-houses in
different parts ef.the metropolis, which, being constructed
on a large scale, have returned a fair profit on the
money invested in them. So far success had been
achieved, but it was necessary to carry the experiments
made much further before any permanent or extensive
effect could be produced in the objects contemplated. It
was requisite to show that at a cost, if not smaller, cer-
tainly not larger than that at present incurred for
building the very inadequate houses which workmen and
their families inhabit, houses could be erected giving
them the benefit of sanitary arrangements, and pro-
viding for their increased comfort, cleanliness, and do-
mestic decency. The rate of wages in this country,
whether in the rural or town districts, leaves but a
mall margin over, after the purchase of food and
clothing, for rent and the other expenses attached to
it. This aet.s limits to the outlay in building labourers'
tenements which cannot be transgressed, and the eon-
-sequence has hitherto been that they have been com-
pelled to live in abodes totally unfit for human habita-
tion, and which have led to an immense amount of pre-
ventible mortality among them. Damp walls and floors
did one part of the work of destruction, and overcrowded
rooms, where cleanliness, decency, and comfort were im-
posible, the rest. At this stage in the sanitary movement
it is superfluous to say more on these subjects, as their
evil influences are admitted on all hands. The question
remained bow were they to be dealt with, how was the
working man to be provided with a suitable home at a
rent which his wages permitted him to pay? It was
found that the inferior bricks of which his humble tene-
ment was constructed held water like a sponge, nod that
from one of them as much as a pint of moisture could
be extracted. He and his family, therfore, were con-
stantly undergoing, night and day, a species of hydro-
pathio treatment which doomed them to inhale damp
air, wear damp clothes, sleep in damp beds, and suffer all
the complicated miseries which arise from walls stream-
ing with water, and absorbing the rain from without, and
the heat of the fire from within. That was one great
difficulty to be overcome, and it has been accomplished
in a very successful and ingenious manner. The
bricks used in the construction of the Prince's model
houses aro hollow, whereby their strength is pre.
served, at the same time that the necessity for lath and
plaster is removed, and perfect dryness secured. Their
form renders them applicable not only for side and par-
tition walls, but for floors and roofing, and by glazing
their surfaces the most ample facilities are given for
cleanliness. Each room can be washed out as thoroughly
when thus constructed as an earthenware dish, and fuel
is not uselessly expended in warming a solid mass of
material saturated with moisture. By this species of
wall ventilation, which, singularly enough, appears to
have been practised among the ancient Romans, the close
fetid smell so offensively present in apartments that have
been overcrowded for some time after they are vacated,
is entirely got rid of. Other advantages also present
themselves, for buildings thus constructed obviously be-
come fireproof, and hollow bricks are found to be excel-
lent non-conductors of sound. In small confined tene-
ments there is no greater source of discomfort than that
which arises from the manner in which the slightest
noise penetrates through partitions and floorings, and a
simple inexpensive arrangement,which protects the quiet
and privacy of the poor man's family, is a boon of
immense value to him. The use of hollow bricks is thus
recommended by a variety of considerations, but the
chief benefit which it confers remains to be stated. By
it a saving of at least one-third is effected in the expense
of ordinary construction, and quite as much in fuel and
annual repairs and insurance. We shall revert to this
point again, and in the meantime proceed to other mat-
ters worthy of special notice in the arrangements of the
model houses. One peculiarity which strikes the visitor
is the avoidance of expensive woodwork and the em-
ployment
of few and cheap materials to do all that is re-
quired. The plasterer and tbo carpenter are almost
entirely dispensed with, and mineral manufactures, in
one shape or other, are resorted to. Everything is of
durable material, and little liable to go out of repair.
There are some obvious improvements which might be
made in the construction, and some economies that
might be effected, for the building is, of course, ex-
perimental in its character, and does not claim per-
fection, being undertaken by his Royal Highness
principally to stimulate the efforts of those whose
position and circumstances enable them to carry
out similar undertakings. Viewing it as a whole,
however, the visitor will not fail to observe
that it is a good working model, not a mere prettiness
expensively got up and inapplicable to practice, but a
sincere, honest, and sensible attempt to supply a design
for the style of architecture suitable to the labouring
classes and within their means to command and pay
for. It is adapted for the occupation of four families of
the class of manufacturing or mechanical operatives re-
siding in town or near it. Each tenement is arranged
on precisely the same plan, having a well-lighted lobe
or porch, a living room, a scullery, a watercloset,anyd
three sleeping apartments, all simply but effectually pro-
vided with convenient fittings for

the different rooms, and the public will fo o
forth
a
betterg
conception of the care with which the whole has been
got up when we mention that nearly a dozen well-
known manufacturers and makers have been laid under
contribution for suitable materials. Thus Clayton's tile-
machine turns out the hollow bricks. Ridgeway sup-
plies the earthenware, and the whole has been under the
direction of Mr. Roberts, honorary architect to the
Society for Improving the Condition of the Labour-
ing Classes. We come now to the questions of ex-
pense and profit—from rent, upon which of course
the success of the experiment turns. The calcula-
tion on this subject is that a building of the kind can be
erected for 4001., or about 1001. for each tenement, and
that a payment of is. per week for each room, or about
3s. by each family. would pay 7 per cent, and cover all
contingencies. Now,

.one who wishes to understand, in its true significance,

dition of the labouring classes over which Prince Albert so
appropriately presides, after paying a visit to the model
