FIRE AT AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.

A disastrous fire took place on the 9th of October in
some large buildings in the rear of Rochester University,
in the State of New York. The loss that was sustained is
estimated at 60,000 dollars. The mineralogical cabinet
was burnt, and the plaster casts, moulds, and models of
Professor Henry Ward were destroyed. The fire is said
to hare destroyed the labour of years, and articles have
been lost which cannot be replaced. It is supposed to have
originated accidentally.

The revision of the Liverpool voting lists having
been completed, both parties have issued their version of
the result. The Liberals claim a gain of 1,401, whilst the
Conservatives assert that they have a gain of 1,203. In the
South West Lancashire revision the Conservatives state
that they are stronger by 1,069 votes ; per contra, the Libe-
rals say that, with the exception of one polling district, the
Conservatives have lost ground throughout the division.

The office of Public Orator at the University of
Cambridge has just been resigned by the Rev. William
George Clark, M.A., Fellow of Trinity, who succeeded to
it on the resignation of the present Master of St. John's, in
1837. The Globe says, "the cause of his resignation is not
yet known." Our contemporary apparently forgets that Mr.
Clark has recently seceded from the Anglican Church to the
Church of Rome.

At a meeting of the directors of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, the secretary stated
that be had received a complete series of plans of the Suez
canal, accompanied with a request that they should be
framed and exposed in some public place to which the mer-
cantile community had freo access. The plans will be
framed, and application will be made to the committee of the
Royal Exchange for permission to exhibit thorn in their
rooms.

A conference of the members and friends of the
Central Association for Stopping the Sale of Intoxicating
Liquors on Sunday was heldat Manchester on Wednesday. Mr.
Richard Haworth, who presided, stated that the executive
thought it advisable that a bill should be introduced during
the next session of Parliament, notwithstanding the pledge
which had been given by the Government to bring in a
general measure to deal with the licensing question as a
whole, as they feared the Government measure would not
satisfy their wishes. Several gentlemen expressed their
approval of the objects of the association. The chaplain of
the Nottingham Gaol said he knew from experience that
Sabbath-breaking was the cause of much drunkenness and
en immense amount of crime in the country. Tne Rev. T.
A. Stowell moved that a memorial be presented to the Pre-
mier, praying the Government to insert a clause in their
promised measure prohibiting the sale of drink on Sunday.
The proposiiion was adopted.

riiiivEirrisEmENT.i —Holloway's Pills.—Health's Foun-
tain.—lt cannot surely be necessary to remind any intelligent
reader that purity of the blood determines every invalid's health
and vigour. Holloway's medicine searches out the slightest
taint in the vital fluid, and neutralizes or expels it, so that the
circulation supports the system in place of sowing the seeds of
decay. When e,idernics arc a lvancing, and disease is steadily
on the increase, it behoves every one to have a restorative like
these pills ready to set r ght any irregularity in stomach, liver,
bowels, or kidneys. Holloway's treatment is especially suitable
for the young, delicate, and nervous, who are most susceptible
of any prevailing sickness, and whom violent measures would
endanger little less than the epidemic.
