BRESCIA, April 20

The Sentinella Bresciana publishes the following
intelligence from Venetia, dated Ist inst. : " When
the last levy was made the authorities only called
upon the conscripts destined for the engineers and
the artillery. Now, however, all the others are
being summoned under arms. Yesterday orders were
issued calling out the reserves, and requesting them
to report themselves in the proper quarter on
Saturday. It is not understood why the reserves
should be called out before the other classes. The
fact, however, is none the less certain, and has
great importance. A pontoon train was despatched
yesterday by rail to Padua. It is intended for
Verona or Legnano.

Dreadful Fire and Loss of Life.—This Day.

This (Tuesday) morning, shortly after one
o'clock, a dreadful fire happened in the premises
belonging to Mr. Hooke, a boot and shoe maker,
carrying on business at No. 3, King-street, Ken-
sington. The discovery was made by a man named
May, who was in the employ of Mr. Tucker, the
tallow-chandler, of the High-street. After giving
the necessary alarm he succeeded in waking the
occupier and his wife. At that time there, was a
boy, aged seven years, in the first floor, and the
father made several attempts to get to him, but in
so doing got badly burnt about the head and face.-
The mother saved her life by jumping out of the
window.

Conductor Mason quickly attended with the
Royal Society's escape, and also Conductor Green
with his ladders from Notting-hill. Mason having
been informed that the child was still in the house,
he made several attempts to enter it, but the flames
broke through the roof and out of the different
windows, so as to render it impossible for him
to reach the poor child. As soon as the ruins were
sufficiently cooled, Conductor Mason entered the
place and found the body of the child with the top
of his head burnt off, as well as his hands. The
body was removed to the workhouse to await an
inquest.
