DESTRUCTIVE FIRE A 7 GREENWICH.

At a few minutes before three o'clock this morning a
fire of no small magnitude broke out in the extensive pre-
mises belonging to Mr. G. A. Casson, a furniture broker,
6, Church-street. Owing to the inflammable nature of the
stock in trade but a very short space of time elapsed be-
fore the whole building presented one immense sheet of
flame. The :inmates were fortunate enough to gain the
street in safety, but before an engine arrived the flames
had penetrated three floors of the still larger establishment
belonging to Mr. A. Murrell, a grocer and tea dealer, and
were attacking with full force the side of .11r. Gale's linen
drapery warehouse. The engines of the Metropolitan
Brigade attended with all possible expedition, as well as
the London Salvage Corps, but in spite of tho exertions of
both bodies the conflagration could not be extinguished
for some hours, and not before property valued at some
thousand pounds was destroyed.

The Queen, with Prince and Princess Christian,
Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, who
arrived at Windsor from Osborne yesterday, will, attended
by her Majesty's suite, leave the Castle to-night, for Bal-
moral.
COUNTY AND SUPERIOR COURTS. —At the
Judges' Chambers yesterday an application was made
to Master Bennett to remote a judgment obtained iu the
Ulerkenwell County Court into the Queen's Bench by
certiorari, iu order to enable the defendant to be taken
in execution, as the debt exceeded £2O. The application
was made under the County Court Act, 19 and 20
Victoria. Master Bennett ordered the certiorari to be
issued.
MONUMENT TO AN OARSMAN.—The monument
which has been erected by public subscription at Newark
iu memory of the late Robert Chambers, the champion of
the Tyne, has been unveiled in Walker Churchyard. The
ground plan is a parallel, gram. On a pedestal is placed the
statue of Chambers in a reclining position, with a broken
oar, emblematic of his sudden and premature death, lying
by his side. On the angles of the pedestal are placed
which
v e a lis'buttress jambs. The space between the two front jambs
is
five feet eight inches, which allows the figure to be seen
to greatadvantage.
