MINING.—The share market generally has been
kftected by the panic, and an attempt made to depreciate
several stocks. Wheal Margaret, however, have continued
10 rise, and have reached 73 to 75. Providence mines, 921
(0 95. Wheal Basset have been dealt in at 192 k to 1971; the
!nine is looking well, and upon the best authority we learn
.18 likely to continue its present rate of dividends for a long
Se to come. East Basset advanced to 240, but leave off
,430 to 233. West Caradon, 80 to 85 ; at the meeting on
Thursday a dividend of £2 per share (£1,024) was declared,
leaving £2,187 15s. in hand. The report of the mine
Ilhowed that the prospects had improved.—Mining Journal,
this day.
In the Bankruptcy Court, yesterday, the case of
u• P. Oakey was heard. The bankrupt was a bookseller,
411. Paternoster-row. This was the examining meeting.
4/is debts are £1,600 ; assets of trifling amount. His Hon-
Illtr passed the bankrupt's- examination, observing that he
Suld have much to answer for at the certificate meeting.
The case of Collins and Collins was also determined. Tho
paternoster-row,
described as publishers and map-sellers, of
raternoster-row, passed their examination on accounts
Swing about £BOO due to unsecured creditors, and £1,600
10 those holding security.
PRESERVATION OF TWENTY-FOUR LIVES FROM
pine.—A*fire occurred in the metropolis yesterday, which
would, in all probability, have been attended with the loss of
24 lives, hall it not been, for the prompt arrival of a fire escape.
At appears .that police-constable No. 165 G ran to the con-
ductor's station in Hatton garden, and informed the man
that a fire had taken place in a large double house occu-
pied by Mr. Kitchen, a cheesemonger, &so. situate at the
rner of Greville-street, Leather-lane. The escape of the
Royal Society was immediately taken to the spot, when a
one that can with difficulty be described presented itself.
uet of each window issued volumes of black smoke which
help
the front of the building, and the loud cries for
be
from 24 persons clearly indicated that no time was to
ue lost to effect their rescue, for the lower part of the pre-
-lises and staircases were burning like a furnace. The con-
'Oretor (named Arkell) at once placed his escape in front of the
house, and brought from the first floor seven persons, who
were safely landed below. The jumpingsheet attached to
the escape was next taken off and held by the police, when
gve or six persons were thrown from the second floor, and
\Vere received in the sheet without receiving any material
jury. The remainder of the unfortunate persons were
oaken from the third floor and passed down the escape, save
~11e man who managed to get upon the roof and pass
through an adjoining house. The engines of the neighbour-
'PK brewery, that Of the parish, and several others of the
''ondon Brigade were remarkably early in their attendance,
,krtd a good supply of water having been obtained the fire-
glen went to work in their usual intrepid manner, but they
house
unable to get the mastery until the lower part! of tho
ghouse was burnt out and the upper part seriously injured.
Unfortunately most of the sufferers were uninsured.
GALWAY ILinuoun.—A report has been made by
'aptains Washington and Vitch, and Mr. Barry Gibbons,
to the capabilities of the harbour of Galway. They con-
11,,ier that for the purposes of a harbour of refuge nature
t, 8 done all that is required, but with a view of facilitating
e embarkation of passengers, mails, and goods, propose
jk=jous engineering works. That on the smallest scale con-
Nts merely of it landinff jetty, and the removal of a small
ge of rock; but if it should be decided to make Galway
Permanent mail-packet
south, they propose either to
l'eet a pier to extend in a -easterly direction from the
puth end of Mutton Island, about 800 yards into a depth of
,I:_cen five to six fathoms at low water of spring tides, which
o'Yould cost altogether about £300,000, or instead of carrying
„,114 the chief works into deep water, to bring a low-water
I;4anuel up to the existing harbour and dock, the cost of
,hich scheme would probably be about £150,000. The third
),,ttri that has been prepared consists of a pier about 400
Ms long, extending from the south end of Mutton Island,
he inner portion of it being built on open piles, so as to
Aiding the necessary docks, would exceed £300,000.
