head-quarters of the 84th, now on their passage,
home from India, will be stationed on their arrival
in England. In consequence of casualties an
losses in India the service companies of the 84tui
are so reduced that their number is now only abend
400 men. The depot, however, is very strong, an
in consequence of no reinforcements having been
sent from it to India for some time past, its streng
has been raised to upwards of 400 men, which Nv„„
give the entire strength of the regiment about 8u"
bayonets. Recruiting for the 84th has been sue"
pended for the present.

LAW INTBLLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.

A NOVEL ATTACHMENT.-HAMMOND V. POLLINGER.
This was a judgment summons which had been adjourned
to enable defendant to do something for the plaintiff.
Mr. Buchanan said that, unfortunately, defendant had
been unable to do anything. Defendant had informed him
(Mr. Buchanan) that a Mr. Pattison had recovered a large
sum of money for defendant.
His Honour (to plaintiff)—You 'should go to Mr. Patti-
son and get a charge upon this money.
Plaintiff—l have been, and I have been informed that
no money has been recovered for defendant. I was treated
very coolly.

His Honour—We heard nothing of this money on the
last occasion. Defendant is committed for 40 days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(1111.5 DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Michael Collins, John
Johnson, and Wm. Smith, three determined-looking fel-
lows, were charged before Mr. Readon with assault, and
stealing a purse, containing some silver, from the person of
Mrs. Mary Ann Slade, an elderly lady residing at Acton,
Middlesex.

The prosecutrix, who is very infirm, said that on the
previous afternoon she was passing along Oxford-street
when the prisoner Johnson pushed against her with great
violence, which act was repeated by the others, causing her
nearly to fall to the ground, and at the same moment she
missed her purse containing some silver. The purse pro-
duced was the same.

Abel Dickens, 306 A, said he saw the prisoner, who was
running at the stop of his speed, fall in the road in conse-
quence of coming in collision with an omnibus. He went
to his assistance, thinking it was an accident, and offered
to assist him to a pump to cleanse himself from the mud,
when he very gratefully declined his offer, saying he did
not wish to " trouble him," and he was about leaving him
when a person came up and said he was concerned in a
robbery, and was escaping. The whole of the prisoners
were then taken into custody.

Cording, 126 C, produced the purse found in the area of
414, Oxford-street.

Wm. Thorp, 7, Queen-street, Grosvenor-square, said he
saw Johnson throw something away in Oxford-street.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoners.

THAMES.

SANGUINARY AFFRAY.—Thomas Murray, a seaman,
who presented a frightful appearance, and Thomas Smith,
a notorious and desperate thief, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with violently assaulting and wounding
Charles James Childs, a police constable, No. 193 H.
The parties appeared to have been engaged in a terrible
conflict. The constable was in a weakly condition from
loss of blood, and his head was bandaged. Murray was put
into the dock with nothing on but his shirt and trousers,
which were covered with blood. His head was also en-
veloped in surgical plaisters. It appeared from the evidence
of the constable that Murray was very much intoxicated
last night, in Back Church-lane. He consumed a quan-
tity of oysters at a stall, and then refused to
pay for them. A mob got about him, and he
went from place to place making a disturbance, and striking
at every one he met. He begged of the sailor to go home
and he refused to do so. He took the seaman into custody
and he went quietly some distance, and then suddenly
began kicking and plunging and struck witness and kicked
him several times. A violent struggle took place, in the
midst of which the other prisoner, §Mith, came up, jumped
upon him, and, as he was getting up, kicked him on the
eye, and inflicted a severe wound. He received other kicks
and blows and was disabled. Other policemen came up
and took the prisoners into custody.
Mr. Selfe—How did Murray get his head broken?

Childs—He was extremely violent in the station-house,
and assaulted several persons. A police sergeant who was
injured struck him with a walkingstick: Smith is a thief,
and he threatened to serve me out on Sunday night when
I prevented him from committing a robbery. He belongs
to a lawless gang of thieves.

Mr. Thomas Hall, of No. 16, Eastcheap, confirmed the
statement of Childs as to the occurrences of last night, and
he said that in assisting Childs b e was robbed of his watch.
Mr. Selfe fined Murray £3, which was paid, and sentenced
Smith to one month's imprisonment, and also ordered that
he should find sureties to keep the peace.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF
LIFE IN THE LONDON DOCKS.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report)

The most fearful scene that has probably ever
occurred within the London Docks since their open-
ing happened yesterday forenoon, and was attended
with the loss of one life, a serious destruction of
property, and almost fatal consequences to upwards
of 50 persons—firemen and dock servants.
From the best information that could be obtained
from the officials and others engaged in the estab-
lishment it appears that between nine and ten

o'clock yesterday morning some of the men em-
ployed on the East Quay had their attention called
to a peculiar sound, proceeding from the south end
of the eastern brandy vaults. At first it was ima-
gined that a portion of the arch of the vaults had
fallen upon some of the casks, and thereby caused
the unusual noise. Mr. Chandler, the principal ma-
nager of that department, was at once communi-
cated with, and that gentleman promptly attended
with a strong body of labourers and the firemen of
the docks. Upon opening the doors it at once be-
came manifest that a fire, and one of no little magni-
tude, was raging amongst the brandy stored away
in this part of the premises.
It should he here stated that this portion of the
property covered between 10 and 11 acres of ground,
forming fonr distinct compartments of cellarage,
separated by party walls and double iron doors.
In these four departments were deposited many
thousand " pieces" of brandy, and when the exist-
ence of the fire became known in the immediate

neighbourhood the most fearful apprehensions pre-
vailed amongst the many hundred poor persons liv-
ing near, lest such an enormous quantity of spirits
should become ignited, and blow up the whole of the
vaults. Fortunately such did not occur; if it had, the
work of devastation unquestionably must have been
carried amongst the shipping in the basin, and also
into the many houses outside the walls of the docks.
Nevertheless, from the dense vapour emitted it
was quite manifest to all present that the flames
had obtained possession of no inconsiderable
portion of brandy casks, and all the engines
stationed at the different entrances to the various
warehouses, as well as the hands employed, were
summoned to the place, and the company's power-
ful floating engine was also drawn to the edge of
the basin.
The hose of the different land engines were
dropped into the basin, and the machines were
called into operation; as well as the float, but the
difficulty which then presented itself was, how was
any one connected with the docks able to carry the
hose under the arches, so as to be able to distribute
the water upon the exact scene of the conflagra-
tion. Many made attempts to get to the spot where
the flames had commenced, but they were obliged
to return very quickly almost .exhausted. Intelli-
gence of the disaster having been forwarded to the
London fire brigade, in the course of a few minutes
the engines from IVellclose-square, School-house-
lane, Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, Fartingdon-
stree, Holborn, Crown-street, Chan dos-street, and
the two powerful steam floats, reached the spot
under the direction of Mr. Fogo and Mr. Hender-
son, the chief officers of the A and D aistricts, and
Engineers Bridges, Maidman, Holloway, Perryer,
and a great number of other oficers. This power-
ful force at once went to the assistance of those con-
nected with the docks. The first thing sought to
be accomplished was to do, what the local firemen
were unable to effect, and for that purpose the dif-
ferent hose from the two steam floats and several

land engines were taken into the long range of
vaults. The moment the water was discharged,
the most serious part of the day's proceedings com-
menced, for all of a sudden a cry was raised, " A
man off the float in the water." This unfortunate
man it seems had gone on the dock-floating engine
to assist in working it, but by some means he lost
his balance and fell into the water. The drags were
at once obtained, and whilst the men were dragging
for the poor fellow, a still more fearful scene
happened.
Mr. Fogo and Mr. Henderson, with about
twenty of the fire brigade and some thirty of the
dock hands, went into the cellars for the purpose
of reaching the fire, when they were struck down
by the heated vapour and became insensible.
For the space of a few minutes it was feared that
the whole of that first number of men had perished,
when the brigade lamps were lighted, and others
were sent down to render assistance ; but the mo-
ment they reached the vaults, so strong was the
vapour that the lights in their lamps were extin-
guished; the men were thus left in total darkness,
and it was impossible to tell in what portions of the
cellars they were owing to the vast accumulation
of vapour. The patent smoke jacket was then sent
for, but owing to the narrowness of the passages
between the rows of casks of brandy, it could not
be used, and ropes were obliged to be dropped into
the vaults, and the firemen and. others, with the
assistance of those not so much exhausted, assisted
in hauling the men out. They were taken at once
to a couple of sheds, where Dr. Brown, the brigade
medical officer, and nearly 20 of the local medical
gentlemen, attended and did all that was possible
to restore the unfortunate sufferers —and, fortu-
nately, their labours were crowned with success,
tut the different persons suffer still from excessive
pains in the head, though nothing fatal is appre-
hended from inhaling the heated vapour. The
body of the man who fell off the dock-float was
found in about. 7 minutes. It was placed in a warm
bath, but owing to the poisonous nature of the
water into which he had fallen, life was extinct.
The deceased, it was understood, was named Jacob
Marrit, and was employed in one of the warehouses
of the docks.
The fire brigade, and also the dock firemen, kept
to their work, and many thousand gallons of water
were thrown amongst the brandy casks, but, in
spite of this, the conflagration could not be said to
be entirely extinguished until late in the afternoon,
when the vapour had so far cleared off that the
firemen were enabled to enter and examine the
place, when they found that about 50 casks of
brandy had been destroyed, and a great number
of other cases of brandy severely damaged, many
of the casks having the wooden hoops burned
off, and, being kept together only by the iron ban-
dages. The spirit contained in these, it is
hardly necessary to state, must have been greatly
deteriorated in value, for to such a height did the
heat rise that even the bungs were driven out of
the barrels by the force of the fermentation.
The official report describes the damage done as
follows :—" The stock of brandy in three arches
destroyed, and the goods in another partly con-
sure ed."

The returns for the week that ended last Satur-
day show a further and rather formidable increase
of the deaths in London. The weekly number was
below a thousand in June, till near the end of the
month; it then rose above a thousand; in the first
week of July it was 1226, in the following week
the number was 1400, and last week it rose to
1605. The mean temperature of the air in June
was 61.4 deg.: in thred weeks of July it has been
69.1. deg. An increase in the heat of nearly 8 deg.
acting in connection with other circumstances that
are necessarily unfavourable to • health, has been
attended by an increase of 600 in the deaths.
In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of
deaths in the week corresponding with last week
.
was 1064 ; but as the deaths included the pre-
sent return occurred in a population which has in-
creased, they can only be compared with the
average raised in proportion to the increase,
namely,
with 1170. The result of the comparison is un-
usually unfavourable as regards the present time,
for the. 1605 deaths of last week exceeded by 435
the number which the average rate of mortality
would have produced.
On referring to the causes of death the increase
,
is found under diarrhcea, the deaths from which
rose last week to 415, a number which is
much greater than that of any week in previ▪
ous
years. The average number in corresponding
.weeks
of 1849-58 (corrected for increase of population) is
i 108 ; the numbers previously ranged from 51 n the
year 1850 to 259 in 1857. It is important to re-
mark that the complaint was far more fatal last
week in the east districts, particularly Shoredit▪
ch,
Bethnal-green, Mile-end, than in the other metro-
politan divisions. Of the 415 deaths from diar-
rhcea 153 occurred in the ease districts, although
they comprise little more than a fifth part of the
population of London. The disease was also fatal
in Kentish Town, where no less than 16 deaths
occurred from it. A large majority of the fatal
cases, as was shown in former returns, are amongst
infants, 381 out of the whole number in the present
return having occurred to children who were not
two years old. Of the remaining 34, 10 occurred
to children more advanced, only 4 between the ages
10 and 60 years, and 20 at 60 years and upwards.
Besides the deaths from diarrhcea, 39 were returned
as caused by cholera, choleraic diarrhcea, &c., 9 of
which we,e the deaths of adults. Scarlatina was
fatal in 48 cases, diptheria in 8.
Four deaths were recorded in the previous week
as the result of the unusual heat ; last week eight of
a like slescription were returned thus :—A boy, aged
6 years, died on the 14th inst. in Islington, from
congestion of the brain and convulsions, from heat
of the sun (12 hours' illness) ;
a

and symptoms of
cholera, brought on by exposure to heat; a brick-
maker's labourer, aged 21 years, on the 16th, at
Sydenham, from sun-stroke, congestion of
the brain ; a sugar-baker, aged 32 years, on the
11th, in Whitechapel, from congestion of the brain
produced by heat and labour ; another sugar-baker
aged 34 years, on the 18th, in the London Hospital,
suddenly from sun-stroke ; a solicitor, aged 77 years,
on the 17th, natural decay, accelerated by the ex-

ference to this last case the deputy coroner states
that the medical evidence was conclusive that the

. Last week the births of 855 boys and 748 girls,
in all 1,603 children, were registered in London.

HALL—Love
25,ahighlye nr
in the above room, by Mr. Samuel E. Smith, surgeon
—Oenfilelolencdtuarye
to the National Ear Institution, 12, Pall-mall East. The
lecturer commenced by describing the anatomy of the ear,
in so simple a manner that his hearers could not fail to have
a clear comprehension of the subject. He next touched upon
the general principles of sound, and showed the conducting
power of almost every earthly body. After which he pro-
ceeded with the physiology, and in an impressive manner
explained the way in which every external impression is
conveyed to the brain through the medium of this invalua-
ble organ, also the difference in structure and function of
the ear in the lower classes of animals. The lecturer con-
cluded with remarks on the various diseases to which the
ear is liable, and different causes of deafness,

It is unknown at present in what offices the pro-
perty was insured. The police rendered essential
aid by keeping the crowd out of danger.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.

A fearful conflagration, resulting in the destruc-
tion of the huge mills situated on the banks of the
Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at the north end of this
town, occurred yesterday afternoon.
This is the second time the same buildi and its
contents have been totally destroyed. The first oc-
casion was on the 17th of May, 1853, when it was
used as a cotton mill. The loss on that occasion
was estimated at £102,000.
The building was since then rebuilt as a rice and
flour mill, and was of great extent. Li shape it
was cruciform, eight stories in height, and after
presenting a long frontage to the bank of the
canal, extended back the same height for a conside-
rable distance. Attached to the mill are ranges of
offices and a series of terraced cottages four stories
high, erected for the use of the work-people.
The fire was first discovered about half-past one
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the alarm was imme-
diately given. Expresses were instantly sent to
the fire-engine stations, and engines ani hose
were promptly brought to the scene of the con-
flagration ; but between the time of the discovery
of the fire and their arrival the devouring element
had made such rapid progress that the whole mill
was in a blaze. The character of the building and
the nature of its contents—grain and rice—all con-
spired to hasten the catastrophe. Within an hour
and three-quarters, of the mill itself only portions
of the outer walls were standing, and from their
immense height great fears were entertained that
they would give way. The canal furnished a plentiful
supply of water, and the engines, aided by the hose
attached to the 'mains in the street, were mainly
directed to save the offices and houses of the work-
people.
There has not as yet been time for investigation,
as the contents of the different stories are blazing
fiercely piled upon the ground within what of the
walls are standing; but there is no doubt what-
ever that several lives have been lost. Many have
been bruised severely, and were conveyed to the
hospital.
Nothing, as yet, has transpfred as to the origin
of the fire, but it is presumed to have commenced in
the lower portion of the mill, for the work-people
were seen, in their efforts to escape, jumping and
dropping from the windows three and four stories
high.
Thousands were collected on the farther bank of
the canal, in the fields, and streets adjacent, but
everywhere in the immediate neighbourhood of the
front of the mill was kept clear by the police and
a detachment of military.
