VOLUNTEER REVIEIV AT WINDSOR.

We are requested to give notice that.all carriage
tickets for the Volunteer Review have been disposed
of, but as there is no restriction as to vehicles en-
tering the Great Park by the appointed routes, those
without tickets will have little difficulty in finding
places from whence the review can be seen, provide I
the horses are taken off. No tickets are required
f•,,r officerS in uniform, as erroneously state 1 with-
out authority. Horsemen are particularly requested
not to ride within the line'of sentries, nor to att_tnapt
to follow the manoeuvres of the troops. Siectators
in general are earnestly recommended to keep thir
places after the review until the troops have
marched off by the Long Walk, so as not to impede
the progress of the volunteers to the railways or to
ndanger their own safety.

The following official Memorandum was issued
from the War-office last night :
Tne infantry corps, exiling from Virginia Water,
Staine3, and Egham, will rendezvous near the St-itue
tit the end of the Lang Walk. A gun will b.! fired

GREAT FIRE AT DULIVICI4.

o--~

Shortly before 12 last night one of the most ex-
Lensive fires that has occurred for years broke out
in the premises belonging to Mr. Dawson, the well-
known brick and tile manufacturer, and contractor
for several public works, incluling some for the
British Government. The factories, which wen
probably the largest of the kind in this country,
Nen fitted up with steam power, and were filled
.vith manufactured and partially finished goods.
A.s was the usual custom, the day hands left off work,
tnd only the usual night hands were kept on the pre-
nises. One of these all of a sudden noticed that a
stack of straw in the back of the buildings and ad-
joining had taken fire, and at the same moment he
saw fire issuing from the counting-house, the boiler•
douse, engine-hous as will as th 3 general offices
inl stables.

In the last-named compartments were 16 valu-
Lble horses, and a little further to the north were a
lumber of pigs and a large number of bwls, ducks,
tud geese. These were fortunately saved, bat
hree of the noble horses were burnt t) death, it
wing impossible for any one to stand the heat gent
forth by such a powerful body of fire, to drag them
out, and their cries daring the time the fire was
►ttacking them were painful to hear.

Two of the Metropolitan Brigade engines were
soon in attendance under the command of Messrs.
T. and G. Jerrard, and these were followed by Mr.
iiewatt, the eminent brewer, of Larkhall-lane,
Clapham, and his bold body of volunteer firemen,
with a land steam engine by Shand, Mason, and
Co. By this time buildings covering exactly 444
feet in length, and in some parts three floos high,
were in a general blaze. Acting foreman Macduff
and head engineers Duck and Helps next arrived
with several other steam and manual power
engines, and the mains of t'e Lambeth company
afforded a most abundant supply of water, but
the factories on fire were so far away from
tire main rod 1 that it required not less than
30 lengths of hose, each of 42 feet, t 3 reac'i the
scene of conflagration. The paying out of such
enormous lengths of piping took but a very few
ninutes, and the engines were worked with full
vigour, but hours elapsed before the least impression
could be made upon the violence of the fire. Some
)1 the engines in order to get near the fire to be
?Ailed into operation had to pass up and down hills,
,ver green .fields, &c., and we regret t 3 state that
the Watling-street engine in ploughing its way
tcross one of the newly made roads overturned and
brew the firemen upon the ground, and Mr.
llitchins, one of the engineers, was badly injured
)3r the wheel of the engine passing over his leg.
fhe London Salvage Corps, under the direction of
Mr. Superintendent Swanton and Foremen Cooper
and Puckett, were also remarkably early in arriving,
and they assisted materially the brigade in sub-
luing the fire; but it was not until an advanced
hour this morning, notwithstanding the vast streams
of water that were pouring from the engines, that
the slightest impression could be made upon the
violence of the conflagration. At length, however,
the firemen had the gratification of seeing the
lanes palpably diminish, and before 7 o'clock they
were entirely extinguished. The damage done by
the diastrous event will reach to several thousand
pounds sterling.

Mr. White, the assessor to the County Fire Office,
tnd other gentlemen, as soon as the fire was sub-
due], made an inspection of the rains, for the pur-
pcs3 of ascertaining the cause of the fire and the
amount of property destroyed. As far as the for-
mer was concerned, not the least reliable informa-
Lion could be gleaned, but it was stated that Mr.
llawsoa's loss will exceed £7,000. Unfortunately
he was not insure]. The chimney stalk, up-
wards of 170 feet in height, is standing, as well as
a long range of warehouses and workshops, and,
what was also fortunate, the books, which were
taken out of a red hot patent llobb's safe, were
ound to be perfectly legible, so that the
fifty workmen thrown out of employment
will be enabled to resume their employment much
sooner than would have been the case had the books
and documents been destroyed.

The police, under Mr. Inspector Gedge of the P
renderei great assistance to the firemen
by keeping the crowd out of danger, and Mr.
Fountain, of the Plough Tavern, threw open his
house for the night, fo:' the accommodation of the
3iigade.
The following is a copy of Captain Shaw's
official report of the damage :—" Lordship-lane,
Dulwich.—Mr. Dawson, patent brick and tile
manufacturer ; a brick building of two floors, 60ft.
long and 370 ft. broad, used as boil. r and steam-
engine house, offices and stabling burned down and
roof off ; a brick and timber building of three floors,
240 ft. long and 341 t. wide, used as drying-houses,
machine-rooms, and dwelling-house, about 50ft.
severely damaged by fire, and part of rouf burned
off—all adjoining and communicating. Three
horses burned to death." •

ELECTION NEWS.

OXFORD.

The Right Hon. E. Cardwell has issued the fol"
lowing address to the electors :

"To THE FREEMEN AND ELECTORS OF TILE art

OF OXFORD.
" G...ntlerned,—The Government have proposed'
and the House of Commons have adopted, a bill for
shortening the duration of the present Parliament'
and for expediting the appeal which is about to be
made to the constituent body. I desire, therefore,
respectfully to solicit a renewal of the trust 103°1
for so many Parliaments it has been my privilege
to enjoy.
" When first I had the honour to be chosen by
you I was a member of Lord Aberdeen's Goveri
ment, which then proposed the largest scheme
providing by the disfranchisement of small boroughs
for the enfranchisement of populous communities
that has over been proposed by any Govern'
meat since the year 1832. In the preseo
Parliament I have endeavoured to promo°
the same object. The bill of 1866 proposed to re-
distribute 49 seats, to be taken from small boroughs'
and given to counties and great towns. It was d""
feated by the party now in office ; and in 1867 tbe
proposed a very inadequate measure in its stead'
I was one of those who endeavoured, with per°/
success, to make that measure more extensive.

" The proposal for an extension of the franchise'
made in 1866 by Lor 1 Russell's Government, lyn°
defeated, nominally at least, on a question of ratiog.
That principle was consequently introduced into
the bill of last year, and the result has been a degree
of confusion and a sense of grievance in many parts
of the country, which will require the early atter
tion of the reformed Parliament.
"In the present session the new First Lord nf
the Treasury informed us that his Administration
would pursue in reference to home affairs g a troll
Liberal policy.' What this policy was to be as re'
garded Ireland has been a subject of much contre4
versy. Its authors have employed such expression°
as these, viz. A change in the status of the ow,
endowed clergy,' ' To create and not to destroy'
No objection to make all Churches equal, but the
result must be secured by elevation, and not by
confiscation,' and other ambiguous, though, I line..
gine, very pregnant sentences. It has, however'
clearly appeared that one intention was to establish
in Ireland an university for an exclusively Ronan
Catholic education, and pay its expenses from the
public funds.
" Under these circumstances the leader of the
Liberal party had, in my opinion, no alternative
His duty was to invite the Liberal party to declare
whether they accepted such an interpretation of
truly Liberal policy,' an 1 submit to Parliament
and the country a policy more worthy
that name. I had previously stated in °r
ford that no settlement of this questio°
could be satisfactory whfe'r failed to treat 01'
equal terms all the Queen's Irish subjects, whether
Protestants of the Establishment, Presbyterians, cir
that large majority of the people who belong to the
Roman Catholic Church. Establishment of theal
all is impossible ; and I am convinced that Xr;
Gladstone's proposal afforJs the only prospect 0
equality, and that without equality we can never
have that perfect union of heart and feeling with
Ireland which is essential to the security of the
empire, and to the honour of the Crown. I have'i
therefore, cordia'ly supported the resolutions sne
the bill which Mr. Glaistone has carried by large
majorities through the House of Commons.
4, The subject of education will doubtless ()coil
a principal share of the attention of the new Par
;
liament. The object at which we ought to
aim is the instruction of the children of tua
whole people ; but considering the establish'
usages of this country with respect to I°6''
tax 'lion and the pressure sustained by the
wealthy classes of the population in providing '53
it
the maintenance and clothing of their children,
will be necessary to proceed with caution. I thil)o
that we ought to exhaust every other effort bje's,
we have recourse to compulsory laws. Every U 1
ass
sure which elevates the teaching of the higher cl 7i
has an important bearing on that of the lower ; 5134
I believe that by giving in our great universities;
united education to the future teachers of the peeP
bele
we shall improve the instruction of the iv to
country, promote. concord among all the profs 01
of our common faith, and strengthen the gene,
influence of religion over all classes of the corm'''.
nity. I have, therefore, heartily agreed with -11,i,
Coleridge in his proposal for opening the full pri'„
leges of our universities to all our fellow country,
men.
"Modern improvements in the arms of warritreai
recent experience on the continent, and a grcisviltbe
conviction, both in the colonies and at home, o't
necessity for a greater self-reliance on the par of
our distant dependencies, will make a review of :0,
military and naval establishments a cardinal 4° e•
tion in the future Parliament. I trust that the
ti'r,
suit will lead tc a diminution of the public be
