CONFLAGRATION AT PATRICK BANK PRINTFIELD.
—Oa the evening of Saturday last an alarming fire broke
out in Patrick Bank Pr intfield, occupied by Messrs. Ronalds
and Co., calico-printers, and situated about three miles from
Paisley, and one and a half miles from Johnstone. The
devouring element when first discovered was raging with
great violence in the old printing shop, a building of two
stories, and, owing to the combustible nature of the mate-
rials, increased with fearful rapidity, illuminating with the
huge volumes of fire it emitted the entire country for miles
around. Messengers being immediately dispatched to Pais-
ley and Johnstone for the engines belonging to these towns,
the fire-trig-de of the latter was soon on the spot, and,
there being an abundant supply of water in the pond and
lade adjoining the works, succeeded, after much exertion, in
subduing the fire, and preventing it from extending over
the premises. A good many workmen employed by Messrs.
Ronalds and Co. will now be thrown idle • and the adjoin-
ing village of Elderslie, being much dependent on the print-
ing works,will also be injured by their suspension. We have
not heard the amount of damage done, but, a great portion
of the buildings being completely gutted, it must be con-
siderable. We understand the buildings and contents are
insured iu the Globe and Imperial Offices.—Glasgow Con
stitutional.
RESTORATION OF ST. STEPHEN'S, WALDROOK. —ITS
RE- OPENING.—The Lord Bishop of London, has, through
Dr. Croly, announced his intentions to tie churchwardens
of Sr. Stephen's, \Valbroek, to preach the sermon on the re-
opening or the beautiful miniature cathedral, to take place on
Sunday next in the presence of the Right Common d_ Mayor,
the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, the Council-
men of the ward, and the Grocers' Company: The interior
of the church (so justly prized as Sir Christopher Wren's
master-piece, designed by that celebrated architect prior to
the erection of St. Paul's Cathedral), now that its restora-
tion is completed, is beautiful in the extreme, and excites
universal admiration. It is proposed to fill in the three
eastern windows with painted glass, but the want of funds
prevented the churchwardens carrying out this most desir-
able arid sadly-wanted addition. Dr. Croly, at the request
of the inhabitants of the ward, will deliver his lectures on
Sunday evening instead of the afternoon, as hitherto. A full
choir has beau permanently establiAhed.
