THE LATE FIRE IN CLEiticExwELL.--The follow-
ing notice was, on Thursday last, sent from the Home..
office to the various police-stations in and near the me-
tropolis :—" Whereas, a large portion of the premises
belonging to Mr. Davenes, wholesale poulterer, No. 22,
Turnraill-street, Clerkenwell, have been destroyed by
fire three times within the last nine months, under strong
suspicion that the fire has been occasioned by some vile
incendiarY, a reward of 100/. will be paid by her Ma-
jesty's Government to any person who will give such in-
formation as shall lead to the apprehension and convic-
tion of the offender or offenders. A further reward of
1001. will be paid by Mr. Davenes for such information
as shall lead to the same result. The Secretary of
State for the Home Department will likewise advise the
grant of her:Majesty's most gracious pardon to any ac-
complice, not being the actual person who set fire to the
premises on either occasion, for such information as
shall lead to similar results."

CONVEYANCE OF WAR-HORSES BY RAILWA
It appears from a document produced from the War-
office, and laid before the Select Committee on railway
communication, that arrangements have been entered
into with the leading railway Companies, including the
Birmingham, Grand Junction, Great Western, Brighton
and Dover, the Manchester Companies, North Midland,
and Eastern Counties, for the conveyance of the horses
of field and staff officers of infantry when proce, ding by
route with regiments ; and likewise for the conveyance
of sick horses of cavalry regiments, at 4d. rer mile each
horse, for any distance not exceeding 50 miles ; between
50 and 100 miles, 3fd. ; and exceeding 100 miles, 3d.
each horse.—Railway Record.
PRODUCTION OF ICE IN A RED-HOT
Place a plating crucible over a spirit lamp, and keep it
at a red heat ; pour in some sulphruous acid, which,
though the most volatile of bodies at a common tempe-
rature, will be found to become comp!etely fixed in the
hot crucible, and not a drop evaporates—being sur-
rounded by an atmosphere of its own, it does not in fact
touch the sides. A few drops of water are now intro-
duced, when the acid immediately coming in contact with
the heated sides of the crucible, flies off in sulphurous
acid vapour, and so rapid is its progress, that the caloric
of the water passes off with it, which falls a lump of ice
to the bottom ; by taking advantage of the moment be-
fore it is allowrd to remelt, it may be turned out a lump
of ice from a red-hot vessel !—Mining Journal.
The Duchess of Cambridge and the Grand Duchess
of Mecklenburgh Strelitz honoured the Lyceum Theatre
with theirEpresence last evening.
