belonging to the Belgian Regiment, No. 12, and forming
part of the troops cantoned about Eschen, appeared in
our territory near Nespen, hut retired after a short stay.
The greatest vigilance is still exercised in the fortresses

count of the Belgians.

‘4 Captain ALEXANDER'S two volumes of
Transatlantic Sketches' is a most amusing publication,
and will be a highly popular work. The author is a well.
known traveller in the East ; and we have had reason to
speak favourably of both his Burmese and Turkish Tra-
vels. The subject of his present book is, however, far
more interesting than either Ava, Persia, or Turkey. His
circuit is of immense extent. He begins in British Guiana
,:nd other parts of South America, visits the West Indies,
his rambling and sailing among which afford numerous
lively scenes; he then proceeds to New Orleans, ascends
the Mississippi, traverses Tennessee and Kentucky, strikes
North to Canada, returns be the Ea•tern States, and
down again Southward through New York to Baltimore,
Washington, and bark again. A more ionosing collection
of travelling gossip we do not know."—Spectator.
PRESENT STATE OF INDIA.—" Without
the appearance of ambitious pretensions the description
given by ,Major ARC lIES, in his Tours in Upper India,'
of the interior of the country strikes us as one of the best
that has appeared!. The author narrates that which he
himself sees • and his vivid and entertaining descriptions
present the evidences of reality and facts. We have met
with f-,w books in which we have found more practical
and useful information relative to the actual condition of
the interior of India than in the volumes before u.. The
author touches without reserve on the question of the Re-
newal of the Company's Charter ; and boldly criticises the
local governmen,, and the administration of justice in the
courts of law in India. We recommend this work. Bri-
tish India is even yet a❑ almo:t unknown country to the
inhabitants of Great Britain. Every work that adds to
our knowledge of that land of tnyst:•ry and romance, is a
nation d benelit."— Courier.

About half-past four o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing a most destructive fire, attended with the melan-
choly loss of two gentlemen's lives, with injury to
others, and with much destruction of property
broke out in the lodging-house attached to Wood's
Hotel, Arundel-street, Panton-square, Haymarket.
About the time in question, a police constable
(No. 141, E) who was on duty in Coventry-court
observed smoke issuing in a dense body from the
windows of the destroyed house, on which he in-
stantly hastened to the spot, and burst open the
street door, thus fortunately giving the alarm to
several of the inmates, who had barely time to
escape from the flames with their lives. The
fire is said to have originated in the apart-
ment of a Colonel Bulow, a German Baron,
,bout 60 years of age, who was reported to
have been incautiously indulging in the dangerous
and objectionable German habit of smoking in bed.
A spark is supposed, while he was thus employed,
to have communicated with and ignited his bed
furniture. The flames spreading thence, unfor-
tunately cut off the retreat pf Mr. Nagle, a native
of the county of Cork, and of Mr. Cape, a Glasgow
merchant, both of whom, in consequence, lost their
lives. Mr. Nagle was a young gentleman in the
Royal Navy, greatly esteemed, and had married,
within the last nine months, a very interesting lady,
who was expected to arrive in town yesterday,
fondly anticipating to join her husband. Mr. Cape
has left a wife and three young children. He was
quite a young man, not more than 29 years of age.
He arrived in London a few days back from Glas-
gow, and, in company with a friend and fellow-
traveller, was to have put up at the John O'Groat's
Tavern, in Rupert-street, Piccadilly. On his arrival
there, unfortunately, all the beds in the tavern were
engaged, except one, which he insisted on his
friend's acceptance of; and, under these circum-
stances, Mr. Gregory, the proprietor of the tavern,
recommended him to Wood's Hotel, where he
unfortunately lost his life. It appears, that
when the alarm of " fire" was given, be
rushed down stairs from his bed and reached the
street ; but, unfortunately, under the impression
that he could possibly save his property, attempted
to return to his room. He had reached the first
floor, and there fell a victim to the flames, the floor
having given way, by which he was involved in the
burning embers, and doubtless soon sacrificed in the
ruins. His body has been found, and presents a
most distressing sight, the extremities having been
completely destroyed, and the trunk and head so
altered by the action of the fire, that it would be
difficult, but for the connecting circumstances, to
say ;hey had ever been those of a human being.
The remains were conveyed in a shell to an under-
taker's in the neighbourhood. The body of Mr.
Nagle has not yet been dug from the ruins. Both
the sufferetsoccupied apartments on the second floor.
Mr. Wood, the proprietor of the hotel, ha: lost
considerable property through the calamity, which,
report says, he is but ill able to bear. His insurance
soise time back ran out, and, owing to pecu-
of circumstances, he was unable to renew
it. Tile majority of the lodgers have lost much of
their property. As u.tsal, a number of thieves col-
lected at the sea-ne of the fire, and did all in their
power to embarrass the lodgers in their efforts to
save their property.
