SHADE TREES OF THE BOULEVARDS,

PARIS.

The whole length of the boulevards, from the
Madeline to the Porte St. Denis, will be replanted
this autumn. Most of the trees—if, indeed, not all
that we remember in our youth—were felled in
1848, to serve as barricades, or to make room for
trees of liberty, which, somehow or another, never
thrived. The police are accused of having enter-
tained a mortal dislike to these unhappy members
of the vegetable kingdom, and evinced great
promptitude in removing them. The successors
to the trees of liberty formed a motley gather-
ing. They had a mangy look, and soon withered.
Their premature decay was caused, according to
the authorities, from having sucked into their sap
the essence of anarchy and revolution left by their
predecessors, and it has been discovered that it is
impossible for imperial plants to live in -the soil
which nourished democratic poplars. To obviate
this inconvenience trenckes three metres wide have
been opened on either side of the boulevards, along
the edge of the pavements, and all the democrati-
cally contaminated soil dug out and carted away to
make room for good vegetable earth brought from
the most imperial portion of French territory. The
trees of like origin are brought into Paris, holding
in their roots their native earth, and so planted.
Drain pipes are arranged round the roots and below
the pavement, for the purpose of supplying air and
water to the roots, which they cannot imbibe
through the asphalte. The same system will allow
of the application of liquid manure, in order to
develop the growth as rapidly as possible. In-
dependently of the revolutionary and anarchical
causes before mentioned, one of the chief reasons
of the trees perishing was the "pest stratum,"
formed by the infiltration of gas from the leakage
of pipes. To guard thiS each system of drain pipes
is seated on a foundation of concrete, and enclosed
lby walls, and other drain pipes are placed exter-
nally, to receive whatever gas may escape and
allow it to pass into the atmosphere. The trees
are all from 10 to 13 years of age, and 8 to 10
metres high. With that order and regularity
which flow from a perfectly centralised system of
administration, the boulevards, are to receive dis-
tinct species of trees. There is to be no mingling
of classes, and none of the laisser tiller doings of
nature are tolerated. Thus the Rue Royale, which
has not yet been ornamented with trees, is to be
planted with South American sycamores or maple ;
the Boulevards de la Madeleine and des Capucmes
with planes; the Boulevard des Italiens with
Japan sumacs ; the Boulevard Montmartre with
elms ; the Boulevards Poissonniere and Bonne
Nouvelle with chesnuts ; and the space in front of
the Gymnase with catalpas. The reader will re-
mark the exquisite gradation in which the planta-
tions are effected ; how the relative botanical value
of the trees are apportioned to the social position of
the locality—from
elm
maand plechestnut. Next autumns, sumacs, and planes,
down
the plantations are to be continued up to the Bas-
tille, so that there will be a regular succession of
plants, all arranged in botanical order, from one
end of Paris to another. Whether the effect will
be as pleasing as if a little more latitude were
allowed, time will show.—Building News.

FIRE AT THE CASTLE MILLS, KENDAL.

A serious conflagration occurred on Friday morn-
ing at the Castle Mills, the premises of Messrs. J. J.
and W. Wilson, woollen manufacturers. The build-
ing where the fire occurred is the frontage of the
mill, and behind it are extensive sheds filled with
the valuable machinery. This front building is
chiefly used for the stoving purposes of the manu-
factory, but there was at one end some machinery
for teasing the wool. Not a sign of anything
wrong was visible at 2 o'clock in the morning, but
between 3 and 4 a dense smoke was observed by
police-sergeant Hoggarth and police-constable
Cookson, who were on duty at the higher part of
the town, to rise from the neighbourhood of the
mill, and shortly afterwards the flames broke out.
The police officers hastened to give the alarm and
rang the fire-bell, and by this time the fire had
been observed by several other persons. The en-
gines were soon on the spot, but such was the rapid
progress of the fire that it shortly became evident
that the front of the mill must be either wholly or
almost entirely destroyed. By half-past three the
flames were.bursting out of the roof, and, viewed
from the higher parts of the town, presented a
magnificent but fearful spectacle. The efforts of
the firemen were judiciously directed by the
Messrs. Wilson to save the engine-house, a new
building adjoining the north end of the structure
on fire, and to prevent the flames from pene-
trating into the large area of the sheds full of
machinery. Fortunately very thick iron doors
separated the sheds from the flames raging on the
other side of the wall, otherwise nothing could have
prevented a destruction of property tenfold more
disastrous than that which has occurred, and which
must have thrown all the numerous hands in the
mills of the Messrs. Wilson out of work for months.
As it was, the machinery hall a narrow escape.
The massive iron doors were red hot, and one of
them is much bent by the action of the fire. About
5 o'clock the flames were sufficiently subdued to
preclude any danger to the rest of the mill. The
fire must have had a very strong hold of the com-
bustible interior of the stoving rooms before the
flames became visible. The clock in front of the
building had stopped at half-past one, so that its
works had been subjected to considerable heat
long before that time. The machinery for
teasing at the north end of the building
was not much damaged, and as soon as the roof and
flooring can be restored can be again put into use.
Some of the tenters are also available. The total
damage, however, is probably not less than £1,200,
which we are glad to say is very nearly covered by
an insurance in the Phcenix Fire-office. There will,
however, be some loss by delay in getting the part
of the mill which is destroyed into working order.
A great number of people were on the spot after
the alarm was given, and .active assistance was
given in manning the buckets. The supply of water
from the mill race left nothing to be desired on that
score. It is 19 years ago on Tuesday next since the
same firm sustained a considerable loss by their
warehouses being destroyed by fire in Stramongate,
which occurred Nov. 2, 1839. The present is the
largest fire—in fact, the only serious one—which
has occurred in Kendal since the destruction of the
Low Mills woollen manufactory in June, 1851.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF
INSPECTOR BUDD.

Edward Mark Council, a pensioner from the
Royal Engineers, was placed at the bar, before Mr.
Traill, for final examination, on a charge of attempt-
ing to murder Wm. Jas. Budd, senior inspector of
the R division of police, on duty at Woolwich dock-
yard. The prosecutor was now sufficiently recovered
from the effect of the wound to attend the court,
and deposed as follows :—On Wednesday afternoon,
Oct. 6, between the hours of four and five o'clock,
I left my office at the dockyard for the purpose of
procuring change for several bank notes, in
order to pay the men under my inspection. I
crossed over the road and entered a tradesman's
shop, when I saw the prisoner on the same side
of the way. I looked out of the shop door to see
if the prisoner had gone past, as I had heard that
he had threatened me; and I did not wish to
come in contact with him. I left the shop, and
walked along Church-stroet, the prisoner being in
front of me, and when at Marty's-passage I lost
sight of him, I then entered the shop of Mr.
Vicars, butcher, and obtained some change, and left
for the purpose of returning to the dockyard. On
passing the end of Coleman-street I saw the prisoner
come towards me at a smart pace from that street.
I kept my eye on him until I came to the shop of
Mr. Rastrick, chemist, which is nearly opposite
the dockyard gate, and a coal-waggon being
at this spot, I lost sight of him. I was
crossing the road for the purpose of entering
the dockyard gate, and when within a few yards
of the gate I heard a quick step behind me. I
looked sharply round, and at that moment the muzzle
of a pistol was close to my nose on the left side
of my cheek, and I received the contents of the
pistol, which was fired on my left cheek, imme-
diately under the eye. I caught hold of the
prisoner, who was about to get away, and police-
sergeant Ryan and constable Willes came to my
assistance and secured the prisoner. The ball was
immediately extracted, and I have been under
medical treatment up to the present time. I re-
ceived the pistol produced from a man named Flint,
who stated that he found it in the road.
George Flint proved that immediately after the
occurrence he found the pistol produced in the road,
opposite the dockyard gate.
The prisoner now put numerous questions to the
prosecutor, with a view to elicit that he had com-
mitted perjury, &c., and he contended that he
was a persecuted man.
Mr. Inspector Brine intimated that a man em-
ployed at the dockyard could prove that the
prisoner had threatened to take the life of Mr.
Budd.
Mr. Traill said it would be necessary to procure
this evidenee on the trial.
The several witnesses, whose evidence has pre-
viously appeared, were then, with the prosecutor,
bound over to attend at the next Old Bailey
Sessions, and the prisoner was fully committed for
trial.
