Calendars, Aimanacks, and Diaries.

THE CATHOLIC CALENDAR (for 1868), enlarged
to 100 pages, and published for a groat, has already
►nade its appearance. It seems to have been very
carefully revised, and comprises within it an ex-
traordinary amount of cleverly condensed and sin-
gularly valuable information. So far as we are
aware it has swept out of the field all competitors,
and may be regarded now, small in size and cheap
in price though it is, as the Catholic Calendar and
Church Guide for Great Britain.
BLACKWOOD'S SHILLING DIARY and his Scribbling
Diary—the one an ordinary-sized pocket volume,
the other of large dimensions, and intended for desk
or table—have also put in an early appearance, and
at once, by reason of their promptitude and In-
trinsic value, are worthy of a welcome.
UNWIN'S INDICATOR (for 1868)—with 365 leaves
to be torn off, one by one, as the days of the nevi
year run out, would bi very muc4 more ac-
ceptable if published without those absurdly trite
mottoes at the foot of each leaf, as, 4‘ That which
we acquire with the most difficulty we retain the
longest," which is appended (for no earthly reason)
to the record of January (31) 1., Wednesday.

of excitement about the committee rooms, but with
this exception the election has ken a very quietonet
the discontinuance of cabs to bring, up electors hav-
ing relieved the streets of the great inconvenience

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Last evening, about five o'clock, an alarming fir°
occurred in the extensive goods depot of the London
and North Western Railway, situated in the Oval-
road, Camden-town, and in the near neighbourhood
of the Camden-station, on the company's main line.
The building forms four sides of a large square, 16°1
a spacious court-yard in the centre roofed with glass'
and is connected with the railway by siding.; on the
one hand, and also with the Regent's Canal on the
other. The fire is supposed to have originated in 3
part of the structure used as offices, and in which
the books and papers relating to the business of the
goods depot were kept. It speedily broke out into
a blaze, the reflection of which was visible all over
the metropolis for more than an hour, and
soon attracted the attention both of the men c'n
duty at the head-quarters of the Fire Brigade i 3
Watling-street, city, and at those of the Londcu
Salvage Corps, close by. In a short time about 16 0f
the most powerful engines of the brigade, with 3
strong body of men from the various stations, arrived
at the spot one after another, those from the district
stations nearest the scene of the fire, under the
charge of Superintendent Teviotdale, being among
the first. The military fire brigade from the Albanr
street barracks, with their engine, were likewise
promptly in attendance, as was also the Volunteer
Fire Brigade from Kilburn. These were further red'
inform(' by the railway company's engines Of
hydrants, and, there being an abundant suppli
water both from the canal, which flanks the build
ing on one side, and from the mains of the Water
~
Company, they were all more or less brought into
L
play with prodigious effect. Nevertheless the whole
of the side of the building in which the fire origi-
nated and parts of two other sides of it were cle;
stroycd, with the roof and most of the contents, an 0
some part of the glass roof in the centre. All tb
offices connected with the building were more or less
v
n
injured by the heat or by water and smoke. -.J., A
o'clock the fire was so much under control that a;
A au
apprehensions of further mischief were allayed, 3eo
throughout the remainder of the evening the l"
•
Brigade, with some of their engines, were 0331111
engaged in cooling the ruins. Mr. Swanton/
tb
superintendent of the Salvage Corps, was in offence
ante with a body of men, and a great number
e°
the railway company's servants rendered assisf3'
in the emergency.
