A SHIP ON FIRE.

PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.

About 3 o'clock this morning a fire broke out on
board the bark Grenapa, 705 tons, laden with coal,
from Cardiff, for Jamaica, and then lying in the
Sound. The alarm having been given by a gun
from H.M.S. Liverpool, assistance was sent to the
burning vessel, which was towed to the northern
side of Mount Vatten and there scuttled. The
floating engines belonging to the dockyard were set
to work, and by the efforts of a detachment of the
Royal Marines the flames were extinguished.

CABINET COUNClL'—Summonses were issued on
Saturday evening for a Cabinet Council to-morrow after-
noon at the Earl of Derby's official residence iu Downing-
street. The Council is summoned for half-past 3 o'clock.
_ _ _

Lord Naas has appointed Mr. W. Edmonstone
Lendrick his private secretary.
LORD BROUGHAM, we are glad to learn, has con-
sented to sit for his bust to Mr. Adams, of Rome, the artist
who is engaged on the statue of Mr. Gladstone for Liver-
pool.

THE FIRE AT QUEBEC, it now appears, has de-
stroyed 55 streets, 2,500 houses, and £600,000 worth of
property, and has rendered houseless 20,000 persons, almost
wholly of the artisan class.
Loss OF LIFE ON THE IRISH COAST.—On Saturday
night the steamer Ceres, trading between London and
Dublin, was wrecked on the coast of Wexford, and 20 lives
lost. Captain and crew saved.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY.—About nine
o'clock this morning, at 37, Alfred-pace, Bedford-square, a
middled-aged lady, named Levey, who has been staying
there for some time, under the care of an attendant, threw
herself from the second floor window; and, in falling,
broke two panes of glass in the first floor window with her
feet, and struck upon the railings or balcony, and thence
was precipitated into the area. Death, of course, being in-
stantaneous. The mind of the tr.:fortunate deceased has
for some time past been in a state of derangement, neces-
sitating the constant care of a female attendant.
MR. ROBERT BUCHANAN--the young Poet—thus,
with a noble and affecting burst of indignation, sets
aside with scorn the cruel charge of sycophancy directed
against him by the Westminster Review, because of his
dedication of the last volume of his poems to Mr. Hep-
worth Dixon, theeditor of the Athenoium. The objectionable
passage in the Westminster Review, he says, was as follows :
—" Mr. Buchanan's London Poems' aro disfigured by one
of the most sycophantic prefaces wo ever read"—mean-
ing, of course, the dedication to Mr. Hepworth Dixon.
I will not deny that these words of the anonymous
writer gave me a certain pain ; for when one is
bitten, it matters little whether the attack come
from a pure breed or a mongrel. Let one who has
undergone a sore struggle in the pursuit alike of bread and
fame examine his feelings towards the first man who
whispered confidence and afforded help, and he will know
what my feelings were and are towards Mr. Dixon. With
me at least gratitude towards those who brought the cup
of water, while priest and Pharisee passed by, is a passion
deep as tears,—as pure as the elements drunk down in that
refreshing draught, and as eternal. These things are trifles to
all thelrest of the world, but they are immortal memories to the
recipients; and whosoever forgot them or feared to utter his
gratitude for them, would assuredly be doomed to a dog's
paradise —the comfortable, painless region where there is
yelping and wagging of tails, but no shining of souls. The
word "sycophantic," as written in the Westminster Review,
expressed every imputation which to a pure mind is horrible
and loathsome reflected hideously on my private character
as a man, tampered foully with my holiest private feelings,
and, in a word, was distinctly of that complexion which
the law terms libellous. Yet a very little reflection convinced
me that to seek redress from the cowardly author of the
assault would be to demean a stainless reputation to the
plae-utrtaatleldtoe,v—elwhere such base things are conceived and per-
pass into the foul region whether no man,
howsoever earnest his indignation may be, can venture
with clean feet. So I left the assaulter to his dog's paradise,
content that he should howl and rot there, and faintly
hoping that the consciousness of public contempt might
prevent him from ever again venturing on the highways
of literature. •

MDLLE. RosA BONHEUR has nearly completed a
largo picture of cattle and drovers in the Highlands. The
men are vigorously belabouring some of the animals in
order to make them move on a rough road. One of the
most important of the latter is in Mdlle. Bonheur's compo-
position, intended to be a dun bull of skittish habits and
irascible temper. In order to paint this creature after her
usual careful fashion, the artist procured in Scotland a
noble animal. The bull was despatched from Britain, but,
ou arriving in a French port, he was stopped, being liable
to suspicion as coming from a country infected with cattle
"disease." The lady waits to complete her picture until,
by means of a special order from the Minister of the Interior,
the brute is permitted to enter France.—Athenaeum.
ANOTHER OPERA HOUSE IN LONDON.—It is said
that the vacant site in Leicester-square, caused by the fire
which destroyed the buildings once known as Miss Liu-
wood's gallery, so long coveted by theatrical speculators
as the finest in London for a new theatre, has at last been
secured by Mr. Mapleson, the lessee of her Majesty's
Theatre. In this admirable situation Mr. Mapleson intends,
it is stated, to erect a magnificent opera house at a cost of
about £lOO,OOO, and which will, ill is hoped, be one of the
most perfect buildfngs of the kind in Europe. Mr. Maple-
son has selected as his architect Mr. E. A. Salomons, of
Manchester, a gentleman who has recently achieved a very
high reputation as a theatrical architect in Liverpool and
Manchester, for which towns he designed the New Prince
of Wales Theatre and the Prince's Theatre.

" The Paris Guide Book," which is to be pub-
lished on the occasion of the Exhibition of 1867, will be
entitled " Paris par see Illustrations," and will be divided
into three parts, the first relating to the art, the second to
the science, and the third to the social life, of Paris.
Victor Hugo is writing the introduction, M. Thiers the
history of the Legislative body, Michelet that of the Col-
lege de France, Theorhile Gautier an article on the Louvre
and its treasures, Sainte-Beuve one on the Academy, Ito-
queplan one on the lyric stage, and George Sand ono on
the artistic beauties of Paris. The illustrations will be
taken from drawings by Meissonier, Gavarni, Gustave
Dor6, and other famous artists.
NEW JUDGES.—We believe we are correct in
stating that an intimation has been conveyed to the Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench that it is the intention of the
Government to propose at the meeting of Parliament the
creation of three new judges—one being allotted to each
court. It is also proposed to rearrange the circuits, and the
judges have been consulted as to the most convenient redis-
tribution of counties to the different circuits. We believe
they will recommend that Lancashire should bo created into
a separate circuit. Yorli in the northern counties will
form the Northern Circuit. Tho Midland Circuit will be
remitted to its ancient limit, receiving in addition Birming-
ham, at which town, for the future, an assize is to be held.
