FIRE NEAREDGWARE.—TIus morning, between
the hours of one and two o'clock, a fire occurred on the
premises of Mr. A. Muddell, a private gentleman, situate
at Ltyde, near to Edgware, which were speedily destroyed,
as were also the stores of Mr. Chad, corn chandler. The
private residence of Mr. Tew was also burned down. The
origin of the disaster is unknown.

CHoLERA.--It is important that the public should
be acquainted with the best means for preventing
the spread of this pestilence The leading medical autho-
rities recommend the use of MCDOUGALL'S DISINFECTANTS
as the cheapest and most' efficient. They combine the
good effects of Carbolic and Sulphurous Acids, the disin-
fection being permanent, and not temporary only, as is the
case with mere deodorisers, such as Chloride of Lime, dr,c
Messrs. MCDOUGALL will forward " Suggestions for the
Prevention of Cholera" on application at their depots:
London, 11, Arthur-street West, London-bridge ; Man-
chester, Riga-street, Shudehill.
THE SUNKEN ITALIAN VESSELS.—Advices from
Trieste state that divers are getting up articles from the
vessels of the Italian fleet which were sunk, and that many
objects have been brought to light. One was a case of
table plate, marked with the cipher of the King of Italy,
and supposed to be a present made by the Sovereign to
Admiral Persano. A box, cased with iron, contained
amongst a mass of papers a voluminous correspondence of
the admiral with the King and various personages of
importance.
ICEBERGS.—NEW YoRK, July 23.—The Alle-
mania, which arrived hero on the 21st of July from Ham-
burg, saw several icebergs 20 miles north-east of Cape
Race. July 2.4—The Pioneer, which arrived here yester-
day from Shields, saw a number of icebergs on the 11th of
July in lat- 49, long. 49.
