FIRE IN ST. LUEE'S.—Late on Thursday night a
terrific fire broke out in tae premises of Mr. Strickland,
picture-frame manufacturer, Gee-street, Brick-lane, St.
Luke's, which continued to burn for some hours, de-
stroying property to a considerable
_amount. Several
of the adjoining houses also sustained much damage.
SUNDAY BANDS.—The season for the playing of the
Sunday bands in the parks is to be brought to a close
on Sunday next, and the committee have is ued a wore
than usually attractive programme fur the Regent's
Park. It is remarkable that though the bands have
drawn many thousands of persons together Sunday
after Sunday, they have never produced the slightest
confusion, and the police courts have not had a charge
from them—thus proving the beneficial itilaence of
innocent recreation on the character of the people.
THE GREAT EASTERN.—A correspondent of a contem-
porary says :—As our difficulties in India, I fear, .will
not be got over so speedily as ice imagine, and many
more troops will be required, could not the finishing of
the Great Eastern be expedited, her trial trips made,
and, if satisfactory, taken up by Government for the
conveyance of troops to India ? She might start with
men from England, pick up more at the Cape, Mauri•
tins, Ceylon, or wherever they were not required. Aft•r
the suppression of the insurrection iu luuia she could
carry a whole army at once to China, and grievously
astound the celestials, and bring them to their senses.
THE ALLEGED RUSSIAN INTRIGUES IN INDIA.—A
Polish correspondent of the Frankfort Journal says it is
strongly suspected in the kingdom of Poland that some
of the officers and sailers who have recently been dis-
missed from the Russian army with one year's pay have
gone to join the mutineers in India. " Certain it is
(the writer says) that the Russian Government Las for
the last three years been systematically exciting the
Chinese, Persians, and the heirs of the Great Mogul
against England."—Seoteli. Paper.

ANCHORS FOR THE GREAT EASTERN STEAII SHIP
o,:e of the set of anchors for the liviathau steam ship
Great Eastern, building on the Thames, arrived here
(Liverpool) on Wednesday, and is now lying at the
Georges Basin, near the landing•stage. If. weighs 6
tons 19 cwt. 2 qrs., and being of Tr. truan's patent is
equal to an ord,nary anchor of 10 tons. Tne largest
size used in the British navy is 41 to 5 tons, but of the
ordinary description. The manufacturers are Messrs.
Wood and Co., of Saltney Ironworks. " Trottrian's
anchor" is on the swivel principle, and aas stl3cted by
Mr. Brunel from a host of competitors as the one caleu
lated to give the greatest security, combined with other
minor advantages. The largest ships aft.eit have Trut
man's anchors—the Cunard Company's steam ships, the
Peninsular and Oriental Comp:soy s, the Australian
Comprnies, H.M.S. Himalaya, &.-., and to the
number these is now to be added this mender ship.—

FUND FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA

—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with
his accustomed liberality, has forwarded to the L trd
Mayor, as president of the committee for the relief of
the sufferers in India, the handsome deflation of 1001.
A communication has also been received from Sir James
Melvid, Secretary of the East India Company, enclos-
ing a private donation from that gentleman, and assur-
ing the committee that their exertions meet with the
cordial sympathy of the directors. An impression is too
prevalent in some quarters that the entire onus
and resp3nsibili'y of alleviating the great amount
of distress existing amongst all classes, whether servants
of the company or not, will rest with the company. It
must be obvious, however, that there will of necessity be
a very large class of our fellow-countrymen either
wholly or partially ruined by the recent ctlarnitous
events in Bengal, whose claims fur cmperisation could
not be entertained either by the di, ectors of the com-
pany or by the Government.
BARNET GREAT STOCK AND HOESE FAlR.—Yester-
day this celebrated cattle fair commenced, and, as usual,
attracted an immense numb -r of graz'sre and others in-
terested in live stock. The cattle 6, lds xtended over a
very large extent of land, and were well supplied with
stock. Wales contributed largely of black cattle and
Welsh ponies; from Scotland there were great herds of
polled beats and island runts ; Ireland sent some droves
of well bred colts, and our home produce completed the
mart. With milch cows there was a good show of well
bred beasts, which found purchasers at 13 to 24 and 26
guineas each ; ditto down calving, 16 to 20 and 22
guineas ; inferior bred ditto, from 121 to 151. ; Welsh
beasts, 9/. to 141. a-head; heifers, 61. to 101. ; Scotch
steers, 121. to 171. ; ditty runts, 81. to 101. ; home bred
heifers, 10/. to 151 ; ditto yearlings, SI. Lo 81. ; and hall
fatted beasts, 121. to 181. Business was transacted
slowly, but high prices were made. In the horse mar-
ket there was a flue show of cattle, and an active sale
was carried on. Carthorses, young and well seasoned,
and adapted for London purposes, wade from 45 to 60
guineas ; ditto, for agricultural work, 30 to 40 guineas ;
cart colts, 25 to 40 guineas ; nags, 25 to 45 guineas.
The droves of Irish colts were of first-class quality, and
unbroke animals were selected at 30 to 40 guineas ; and
others made 20 to 28 guineas. Among Wel h ponies
there was a brisk and amusir g business ; these 1 lliputian
animals were huddled up in large roves, and, wild ai.cl
unhaltered, were, when selected by a purchefe:r, seized
upon the Welsh hot sedeaier and bustled out for view.
The breed among this class of ponies has of late years
much improved, and they obtained prices varying from
Bto 12 and 16 guineas each. The fair continues to-day
(Saturday).
