FIRE IN THE CITY-ROAD.—Yesterday morning,
soon after one o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of
Mr. J. Farrents, surgeon, at the corner of Regent's-
terrace, near the canal-bridge, City-road. It was nearly
half-past two o'clock before le fire was completely ex-
tinguished, and not before the whole of the stock in
trade, fixtures, and utensils in that portion of the build-
ing where the fire commenced were destroyed, and the
remainder of the premises and contents seriously injured
by fire and water. Mr. Farrents is insured in the Al-
liance Office. How the fire originated could not be as-
certained.

A SCENE IN A JURY-ROOM.—Whilst the jury were
discussing their verdict in the late case of alleged riot at
the Essex-street pier, tried on Thursday last at the
Westminster sessions, a singular scene took place in the
room to which they retired. It will be remembered that
the case lasted the whole day, and the jury were unable
to agree as to the guilt or innocence of the parties in
•
dieted. They consequently were shown into the bur-
gess court, to be there kept without fire, candle, or food,
until they did agree. It is said that one of them had
in his pocket, which,

continued about three hours, but it did not prevent the
window-men having their jokes at the passers-by. At
nine o'clock, however, some concession was made, and
the worthy magistrates, who had had three hours for
their dinner, were called in to receive the verdict, which
amounted to nothing.—Sunday Times.
LADY CIGAR SMOKERS OF MEXICO.—Of all the
petty vices practised by the New Mexicans, the mks
inocente of smoking among ladies is the most intolerable;
and yet it is a habit of which the loveliest and the most
refined equally partake. The puro or cigarro is seen in
the mouth of all ; it is handed round in the parlour, and
introduced at the dinner table. Even in the ball-room.
it is presented to ladies as regularly as any other species
of "refreshment;" and in the (lance the senorita may
often be seen whirling round with a lighted cigarrito in
her mouth. The belles of the southern cities are very
frequently furnished with tenazitus de oro (little golden
tongs) to hold the cigar with, so as to prevent their deli
cafe lingers from being poljuted either with the. stain or
scent of tobacco, forgetting-, at. the same time, its dis..
agreeable efleets upon the lips and breath,—Grey9",
