THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The Secretary of the
Admiralty, in reply to a communication, has stated that the
Lords of the Admiralty will give directions for the British
lied North American mail steam-ships to call at Holyhead,
whenever the pier at that place is sufisciently 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.

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