ALAR.4II2Nri FIRES.

During Saturday night and Sunday morning
four fires took place in the metropolitan district.
One fire happened between the hours of one and
two o'clock, on tho premises' belonging to Mrs. J.
'Topton, a laundress, situate at Are. 9, Charles-street,
Shepherd's Bush-market. The out: break was caused
by one of the ironers making the ,sire too brisk in
the ironing stove, which ignited a quoltity of ;inen
and wearing apparel, at the same time demolishing
the glass windows.
About midnight another fire happened in theD
premises belonging to Mr. W. M'Moran, 3 Kemp's-
court, Berwick-street, Soho. This fire took place on
the first floor, and wag caused by a spark flying
from a live coal in the rate. An immediate alarm
was given, and information was sent in sundry di-
rections for the engines, an,i in a very short space
of time the firemen arrived a.nd the fire was extin-
guished, but not until a son of Mr. M‘Moran' about
eight years of age, was so terribily burnt that he was
obliged to be removed to the hospital, where he at
present remains without the least chance of re-
covery.
Another fire broke out in the premises belonging
to Mr. Smith, tailor, No. 5, Tenter-street, North,
Whitechapel. The premises and their conte:its were
seriously damaged by fire and water. The cause of
the fire is unknown.
Shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
took place in the premise; of Mr. M. C. Mackey,
No. 40, Hide-place, Westwinister. The disaster
was caused by a spark flying from a lighted candle,
which ignited the bed and bedding, as well as the
furniture, and a coffin containing a dead body. The
exertions of the firemen, under Mr', H. Campbell,
succeeded in getting the flames extinguished, but
not until considerable damage was done.

MAR LBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE AT A CAFE.—Herbert Craven, 15, Sloane-
street ; Henry Howard, 8, St. Jshn's-wood• road ; William
Baines, 16, Sherborne- place ; and Fleetwood Chase, '2,
Molcombe-street, described as gentlemen, were charged
with being drunk, creating a disturbance, and assaulting
Mr. John Nicholls, keeper of the Cafe Reiche, 226, Picca-
dilly.

Mr. Nicholls said the four defendants came into his
house at eight the previous night and asked for soda water.
The waiter served them, and Howard and Baines then
commenced sparring. Ho told them to desist or they would
do some damage. They then sat down and called for
coffee, but he refused to let the waiter serve them. Baines
then drew his chair up to the table where he was sitting
with his wife and stared very rudely in her face, and on
his telling him not to do so, as she objected, he replied " Oh
if there is a woman in the case she is sure to have a finger
in the pie." Baines then told him that he doubted whether
it was his wife. Baines, while he was standing in the
lobby to prevent them again coming in, caught hold of his
coat and tore it, and dragged him into the road, and then
seized him by the leg and tore his trousers. He afterwards
gave the defendants, who were all drunk, into custody.
Player, 309 A, and Wheatley, 308 A, having corroborated
a portion of Mr. Nicholl's evidence,

Sergeant ± )raper, on duty at Vine-street, said the defen-
dants created the greatest disturbance he ever heard while
at the station.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked what the amount of damage was to
Mr. Nicholl's clothes, and he replied £4. (The coat and
trousers were sadly torn.)

Baines said he had taken a little to drink, but was no
drunk, for he had been driving just before, and ho could note
have done that if he was drunk.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that depended sometimes on the width
of the road and other things.

The other defendants said they were not drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no doubt keepers of refresh-
ment houses had a right to order persons to leave their
houses if they liked. Baines would have to pay £3 10s. for
the damage and ss. for the assault, and they would all have
to pay ss. for the disturbance at the station.

"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
hould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
3d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27,1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from hervous excitement and de•
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful —Record.

THAMES.

SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—Mr. Lewis, Ben., the
solicitor, of Ely-place, applied to Mr. Woolrych, while the
night charges ware being heard, ard said that a boy named
Maurice Friederberg was under remand until that day on
a charge of stealing half a sovereign, and that his parents
and friends, who werehighly respectable, would take charge
of him if liberated. It was not the intention of the prose-
cutor to press the charge, and ho was satisfied with the
week's imprisotment he, had already endured.
The magistrate kindly 'complied with the request of Mr.
Lewis, sen., and the boy, Who'ilfourteen and a half years
of age, and who gave the name of Maurice Benjamin when
he was arraigned last Monday, was then brought
before Mr. Woolrych, and, on the assurance of the
solicitor that his parents would receive him and
take care of him, he was ordered to be discharged. The
evidence on which the prisoner was remanded was some-
what extraordinary. On the afternoon of Sunday, the Ist
instant, the boy entered the service of Benjamin Lavey,
clothes salesman and outfitter, of No. 4, Penson-place,
West India-road, Limehouse. Both master and boy are of
the Jewish persuasion, which accounts for the engagement
being entered into on the Christian Sabbath. About two
hours afterwards, and while the bell of Limehouse parish
Church was calling the people to prayer, an homeward-
bound sailor entered the shop, purchased a suit of clothes,
and borrowed a half-sovereign of Lavey, to be repaid when
he received his wages. The sailor forthwith exchanged his
old ones for the " rig out," and when he had finished
the adornment of his person he looked for the half-
sovereign he had received of Laney, and which he had de-
posited in the pocket of his old waistcoat before he pulled

t off and laid it on the counter. The half-sovereign was
missing, and Fried erberg, alias Benjamin, was accused
of stealing it. He denied the theft, but was searched, and
after some delay he admitted having taken it and put it in his
boot. He pulled off his boot, took the half-sovereign from
it, and delivered it to his master. The boy was given into
custody forthwith, and after two hours' service on a Sun-
day afternoon, was locked up, and on being brought before
Mr. Woolrych on Monday last was remanded for a week.
He is a native of Germany, and his parents reside at 20,
Union-street, Spitalfields.

ASTRO-METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY.

The first annual meeting of this society, the ob-
ject of which is the promotion of the science of
meteorology in connection with astronomic pheno-
mena, was held on the 29th ult., at the offices in
Pall-mall—Lieutenant R. J. Morrison in the chair.
The report expressed the thanks of the committee
to the members and others for furnishing meteoro-
logical observations, and they trusted that the
science which had astronomy for its basis, and pro-
mised so great a boon to all classes of the commu-
nity, would meet with due encouragement and
support. Astro-meteorology, as a practical science,
was of the utmost importance to sailors, farmers,
and others dependent upon the weather, as it
enabled them to guard against those sudden and
terrific changes in the state of the atmosphere
which sometimes did an enormous amount of
damage, as it would put them in possession not only
of the causes of storms, but of the times when they
might be expected. The report and the accounts
having been adopted, a paper was read, showing the
range of the thermometer on the occasion of the
conjunction of the sun and the planet Saturn during
the last ten years. The range on seven days, in-
cluding three days before and three after the con-
junction, showed a great variation in the tempera-
ture and a disturbed state of the atmosphere.
Various communications were read from corres-
ponding members in different parts of the United
Kingdom, verifying the predictions of the society
as to the state of the weather during the three
months following their quarterly publications ; and
it appeared they had predicted storms and heavy
rains about the 11th of September last, when the
conjunction of Saturn and Mars took place, and
that the 11th was the memorable storm in which
the Great Eastern so severely suffered. The chair-
man, in the course of his remarks, alluded to the
storm signals which were made only a few days
before the change in the weather was expected,
and pointed out how much life and property would
be saved if storms could be foretold three months
prior to their occurrence. 'With regard to the
storms to be anticipated during the first three
months of 1862, he said the calculations of the
society showed that they would be as severe as
in the present year, but not so numerous, and that
the'severest period would;be the 17th and:lBth of
February.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock ; nevertheless, the demand for it ruled very
inactive at barely last week's currency.

The supply of home-fed beasts was limited as to num-
ber, but in greatly improved condition, especially the arri-
vals from Scotland. Although, owing to the prevailing
mild weather, the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish
state, prices were well supported, and, in some few in-
stances, last Monday's currencies were slightly exceeded.
A few very inferior Scots sold at 5s per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we received 2,200 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was limited even for the time of year.
For all breeds the demand ruled steady, but by no means
inactive, at fully last week's currency: Very superior
Downs were worth 5s Bd, but the general top figure for
mutton was 5s Gd per 81bs.

THE POACHING AFFRAY NEAR EAST RETFORD.
—The men who were reported in The Sun of Monday last
as being concerned in a violent attack on a gamekeeper at
Bothamshall were brought up at the Town 'hall, East Ret-
ford, on Friday afternoon last, and committed for trial at
the next assizes for Nottinghamshire. The Bench offered
to take bail, each in. £lOO and two sureties of £lOO. In de
fault, the prisoners on Saturday morning were removed in
custody to Nottingham Castle, where they will remain until

with the despatch to Lord Lyons on Monday last, the 2d

CORN EXCHANGE.

Owing to the prospect of hostilities with J imerica, the
country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for wheat, at
in some instances, an advance in the quotation sof ls. to 2s.
per quarter. In the value of spring corn, very: little change
took place ; but flour was held for rather more money.
The French markets have continued steady whilst the
outflow of breadstuffs for America are still very large.

Very small supplies of English produce:we re received
up to our market last week. The imports from i 'broad were
41,374 quarters of wheat, 4,350 barley, 6,155 oat s, 89 beans,
4,797 peas, 923 tares, 19,304 linseed, 3,005 rape seed, 1,563
maize, 170 sundry seeds, 152 sacks and 28,60 E t barrels of
flour.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to this morning's
market were very limited, and several samples cal ne to hand
in rather damp condition. Not the slightest e xcitement
was observed ; indeed, the trade, both for red and white
qualities, was decidedly inactive, yet there were ; no sellers
on easier terms. Prices, consequently, exhibit 1 to ohange
compared with this day se'nnight. The whole of the sup-
ply had not been disposed of at the close of busing ss.
There was a fair show of foreign wheat on tb e stands.
Importers were very firm, and all descriptions wet -e held at
fully last Monday's currency. In several instanc es some-
what enhanced rates were demanded for Amerio to quali-
ties.

Floating cargoes were moderately, though by i Lo means
actively, inquired for, and the quotations were 1 'ell sup-
ported.

The supply of barley was much less extensii la. The
finest descriptions fully maintained previous rates, but
medium and inferior qualities were a slow sale, of t former
terms.
Malt changed hands slowly at previous quotatiot Is;
With oats we were very moderately supplied, and the
trade ruled firm at full currencies.
The supply of beans was somewhat on the filen:tit se. All
kinds were in slow request, yet no change took place in
their value, eompar,,d with last week.

Although the show of peas was Brasil, the demi Ind for
them ruled inactive at late rates.
The flour trade was firm, and prices were well sup ported.

THAMES.

SINGULAR CASE OP ROBBERY:—Mr. Lewis, sem, the
solicitor, of Ely-place, applied to Mr. Woolrych, while the
night charges were being heard, and said that a boy named
Maurice Friederberg was under remand until that day on
a charge of stealing half a sovereign, and that his parents
and friends, who worehighly respectable, would take charge
of him if liberated. It was not the intention of the prose-
cutor to press the charge, and he was satisfied with the
week's imprisonment he had already endured.
The magistrate kindly complied with the request of Mr.
Lewis, sen., and the boy, who is fourteen and a half years
of age, and who gave the name of Maurice Benjamin when
he was arraigned last Monday, was then brought
before Mr. Woolrych, and, on the assurance of the
solicitor that his parents would receive him and
take care of him, he was ordered to be discharged. The
evidence on which the prisoner was remanded was some-
what extraordinary. On the afternoon of Sunday, the Ist
instant, the boy entered the service of Benjamin Lavey,
clothes salesman and outfitter, of No. 4, Penson-place,
West India-road, Limehouse. Both master and boy are of
the Jewish persuasion, which accounts for the engagement
being entered into on the Christian Sabbath. About two
hours afterwards, and while the bell of Limehouse parish
Church was calling the people to prayer, an homeward-
bound sailor entered the shop, purchased a suit of clothes,
and borrowed a half-sovereign of Lavey, to be repaid when
he received his wages. The sailor forthwith exchanged his
old ones for the "rig out," and when he had finished
the adornment of his person he looked for the half-
sovereign he had received of Laney, and which he had de-
posited in the pocket of his old waistcoat before he pulled
t off and laid it on the counter. The half-sovereign was
missing, and Friederberg, alias Benjamin, was accused
of stealing it. He denied the theft, but was searched, and
after some delay he admitted having taken it and put it in his
boot. He pulled off his boot, took the half-sovereign from
it, and delivered it to his master. The boy was given into
custody forthwith, and after two hours' service on a Sun-
day afternoon, was locked up, and on being brought before
Mr. Woolrych on Monday last was remanded for a week.
He is a native of Germany, and his parents reside at 20,
Union-street, Spitalfields.
