Naval and Military Intelligence.

The screw steam frigate Liffey, 31, of 2,654 tons,
and 600-horse power, was removed on Thursday from
Keyham steamyard to the sheer hulk in Hamoaze for
the purpose of receiving her masts, after which she
will return to Keyham to be rigged and stored for
the first division of the Steam Reserve. She will
probably enter the basin to-day.
The armour-plated, double screw steam gunboat
Vixen, 4, having had her iron deck covered with
composition in order to prevent corrosion, was re-
moved on Friday from Hamoaze into Plymouth
Sound, where she received her ammunition. The
Vixen will shortly take a cruise, and may be sent to
Ireland. ". Captain Ewart, of the Cambridge, took
her outside Plymouth Sound, and tested her quali-
fications for shot practice on Saturday.
The gunboat Dapper, from Dartmouth, arrived at
Plymouth on Saturday. The screw steamship Gib-
raltar, 81, Capt. R. Cook, which arrived in Ply-
mouth Sound from the Mediterranean on Monday,
was inspected on Tuesday by Port-Admiral Sir W.
Martin, K.C.B. On Friday she was removed into
Hamoaze. Her crew will be paid off in the course
of a few days. It is not yet decided by the Admi-
ralty that her masts shall be unstepped.
The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 35, having been
coppered, is appointed to be removed to-day from No.
1 dock in Keyham steamyard, to give place to the
Galatea, 26, which will probably go in to-morrow.
The gunboat Ruby (tender to the Coastguard
ship Dantless), having had defects made good at
Devonport, left Plymouth Sound on Saturday with
supernumeraries for Ireland. She will shortly re-
turn to her duty at Hull.

MR. GARTH AND MR. BRIGHT.—At the recent
Guildford election Mr. Garth took several opportu-
nities of animadverting upon Mr. Bright, charging him with
being a bad master, stating that " he had never dared to
stand fur Rochdale," that "he had baen hooted away from
his own promises," that "his own people distrusted him,"
that " such men were rather a curse to the country than
otherwise," and so on. The papers containing these re-
ports having been forwarded to,Mr. Mills, the manager of
Mr. Bright's works at Rochdale, have elicited the follow-
ing reply :—" Rochdale, Dec. 25th, 1860. Dear Sir, —Par-
don me for not sooner replying to your note of the 20th. I
have the papers you sent. Mr. Garth does not seem a
gentleman on whom many words may be expended with
piofit. I have not the smallest hesitation in saying that
his reference to the business relations of Mr. Bright was a
wilful, malignant, and premeditated falsehood. I hope the
legal knowledge of the hon. member for Guildford will be
able to comprehend the meaning of this. I am, dear Sir,
faithfully yours, ROBERT MILLS. Mr. D. M. Stevens."
THE EQUITABLE JURISDICTION IN COUNTY
COURTS.—The Lord Chancellor has made an crder that all
causes transferred from the County Courts under the
Equitable Jurisdiction Act to the Court of chancery be
heard Moro Vice-Chancellor Stuart.

The show of wheat was fair, but the quality and con-
dition ca the grain was varied. The demand was mode-
rate, at last week's prices. The supply of barley was
pretty tolerable, but there was not much demand ; for the
best qualities late rates were supported. A moderate
show of oats, for which there was a steady demand, at
previous rates. Beaus a dull sale, at a slight concession
in prices.

Old white wheat, 70s to 73s ; old red, 62s to 68s ; now
white, 62s to 72s ; new red, 54s to 63s per 36 stone. Oats,
old, 32s to 36s; new, 25s to 32s per 24 stone. Beaus, old,
56s to 60s ; new, 44s to 52s per 38. stone. Fine flour, 47s
to 49s per sack.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—l am sorry to have to inform you that a
portion of the Crystal Palace has been this day
seriously injured by fire. It appears to have origi-
nated in the north-east part of the tropical depart-
ment, where it was discovered about 2 o'clock p.m.
The company's staff and fire engines were at once on
duty, and Captain Shaw arrived about half-past 4
with the steam and other engines of the London
Fire Brigade, and a large force of firemen. By these
means the fire was rapidly subdued, and by 6 o'clock
all risk of its spreading beyond the tropical screen
was at an end.

The iron framework of the tropical end is mostly
standing, and apparently not severely injured ; but
the contents of that portion have been almost en-
tirely destroyed, except the Aboo Simbel figures and
a large part of the Alhambra Court. Except by
removal, nothing has suffered on the south side of
the screen.
I am thankful to say that no lives have been lost,
and no one seriously hurt. Superintendents Payne
and Walker, of the metropolitan police, were early
on the spot and rendered valuable assistance.
The Palace will be open, as usual, to-morrow
(Monday).—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
G. GROVE, Secretary..

BOROUGH. HOP.

There has been rather more business passing in hops.
The transactions as yet, however, have been somewhat
restricted, and, in fact, have been confined to satisfy the
immediate wants of brewers, As regards prices the trade
has riled firm. The imports into London last week
amounted to 8 bales from Boulogne, 294 Antwerp, 58 Rot-
terdam, 93 Hamburg, 271 Bremen, 24 Ostend, and 188
bales from Calais.

LATEST PARTICULARS THIS DAY.

The property destroyed will amount to a sum
Almost fabulous to mention. Some of the assessors
to the different fire offices estimate the damages at
nearly half a million sterling ; but Mr. White, the
assessor for the County Fire Office—no mean autho-
rity—is of opinion that the losses will) not ex-
seed from £200,000 to £300,000. The losses to
the various exhibitors will be severely felt by those
parties, but most of them have their goods insured
by floating policies. The exact amount of the liabi-
lities will not be able to be learned for several days,
as many of the owners live in the country, and some
are abroad.
he insurance companies are at the present time
holding a conference as to whether the premiums
they are at present charging on the Palace and the
contents are sufficient to cover the risks, but the
result of the deliberations of the fire-committee is
not at present allowed to transpire. It was stated,
but with what authority we cannot vouch for, that
the Norwich Union and nearly the whole of the old
established London offices will suffer more or less by
the disaster.

THE MATCH BETWEEN CHAMBERS AND KELLEY.—
On Friday a meeting of the supporters of Chambers, the
champion oarsman, was held at Newcastle. Mr. Jas. Wil-
kinson was voted to the chair, and there were present
Messrs. Blakey, Smith, T wcddle, H. Clasper, and the
champion. After a consultation extending over two hours
it was decided not to accept Kelley's offer to row in June,
and ultimately it was decided to name, in the articles to be
sent for Kelley's signature, Monday, May 6, the distance
to be the four mile course from the High Level to Leam-
ington Point. If no satisfactory conclusion be arrived at
with respect to the referee, it was suggested that the stake-,
holder should name that functionary.

We had a tolerable supply of wheat, the show con-
sisting of white and red descriptions. A moderate busi-
ness was done at fully late rates. The inquiry for barley
was moderate, and sales were slow, at last week's prices.
Oats wore in seasonable supply, and met a tolerable de-
mand. There was a slow demand for beans, at rather less
money.

New white wheat, 68s to 70s ; new red, 60s to 68s ; old,
white, 70s to 76s ; old red, 66s to 70s per 36 stone. Bar-

THAMES.

THE PRICE OF AN EYE.—Mr. Albert Bryant, the mate
of a ship, and dwelling in Totten-street, Stepney, who had
been out on bail, appeared before Mr. Partridge to answer
a charge of violently assaulting John Lee on the eye with
an umbrella, on the 12th of the present month, in the
White Swan public-house, Commercial-road, East.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner, who,
he said, deeply regretted the lamentable accident which
had taken place, and by which the unfortunate man Lee
had been deprived of the sight of an eye.
Mr. Partridge said the evidence was that in the course
of an altercation in a public-house the prisoner struck the
prosecutor on the eye with the point of his umbrella. The
surgeon, who gave evidence three weeks ago, said the
sight of the eye was destroyed.
Mr. Young—No doubt about that, sir; the defendant
had no intention of injuring the man.
Lee, who has been under medical treatment iu the Lon-
don Hospital, said he had no wish to proceed with the
charge.

Mr. Partridge—You have received compensation, I sup-
pose.
Lee--Yes. sir; ho has agreed to pay me £l9.
Mr. Partridge —That is the price at which you value
your eye.
Mr. Young said he had nothing whatever to do with
effecting the compromise, and did not know until then the
amount agreed to be paid.
Tho prisoner was discharged.

A RUN WITH THE QUEEN'S HOUNDS.—The meet
on Friday was at New Lodge, the residence of the
Belgian Minister, near Windsor, and besides a large field
of sportsmen on the ground enlivening the scene there was
a brilliant assemblage of the ladies living in the neighbour-
-11001, who assembled in carriages to witness the uncarting
of the stag. The "Rake," a fins animal, who had been
rechristened, but who, under the nano of " Hawthorn,"
gave the riders with her ajest's hounds a good run some
weeks ago, on being unMcarted,y made for a good line of
country, but was heade I back by a farmer opposed to the
sport, and so changed his course. After a good run at
Flackwell Heath it was found that a few " knowing ones'
had crossed at •Cookham Ferry with three couples of
hounds, which had also crossed after the stag. They had
taken the deer, and surrendered him accordingly to the
legitimate keepers when they arrived at the scene, Mr. H.
King thanking them for their cleverness in taking tIIQ
shortest cut to recover the prize,
