" We do unt hesitate to recommend, from experience, DEL.

...ll' The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable
perfume of the season 1844 ; but though the last, is net the least
i nperfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence •f all
the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the
white moss rose.
Let him who is a true born gentleman,
And stands upon the honour of his birth
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth—
From off this briar pluck a white rose with me.

THE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE, AND NAVAL
AND MILITARY JOURNAL FOR JANUARY, 1845.—Thy
most 'narked difference between this magazine and
most of its contemporaries is, that while they are filled
in a great measure with tales of fancy, which are perused
but to be forgotten, it is a record of facts and occur
rences, and of the results drawn from reflection and ex-
perience in reference to many of tke most practically in
teresting questions regarding the professions which it re-
presents, and through them to the peace, prosperity, and
security of the nation at large. The truth is, we knoll
of no periodical published in this country more descry
ing general patronage, and certainly no one containing
anything like the same amount of information. Nor is
what may be regarded as light reading wanting in its
pages, for it abounds with narratives of the most inte-
resting and exciting kind—stranger than fiction, with
the additional recommendation of their being true. The
articles in the present Number that may be considered
the most striking are—The Social Wrongs of the
Soldier—Hints for National Defence, addressed to the
people—The Experimental Squadrons—Reminiscences
of a French Prison—A Record of Indian Warfare and
Passages of Indian Adventure—Notes on Eastern Africa
—A Chapter of Reflections on the Military Art—The
Theatre of War in the Caucasus, &e.
CALAMITOUS AND EXTENSIVE FIRE IN DUMFRIES.
—On Wednesday morning last, about two o'clock, a fire
broke out in the large workhouse of Mr. Beck, coach-
builder, immediately behind New Market-street, Dum-
fries ; the alarm was instantly given, and the police,
with the fire engines, hastened to the place, but the
destructive element had obtained so extensive a hold
upon the combustible materials in the building, and
spread with such fearful rapidity, that all efforts to
arrest its progress on that part of the premises
were considered hopeless ; and as soon as water
could be procured, the engines were directed to play
upon the houses fronting into New Market-street, as the
wind, from being in an easterly direction, brought an
immense quantity of sparks into that quarter, and se-
veral chimneys were on fire, on both sides of the street.
The wind, however, continuing moderate, the progress of
the fire in that direction was arrested. In the mean-
time it continued to progress in the other direc-
tion, anti the whole of the workshops, store-rooms,
show-room, and other back premises, belonging;
to Mr. Beck, were soon involved in a universal confla-
gration. Almost as soon as the workshops ad-
joining the dwelling-houses were on fire, and be-
fore the flames began to issue from the roof, it
was observed, from the emission of smoke, that
the dwelling-house had also caught fire. Every
exertion was now made to save Mr. Beck's house-
hold furniture, and other valuables in the dwell-
ing-house the greater part of which, we be-
lieve, were got out with little damage. None of the ad-
joining buildings, except those belongine. to Mr. Beck,
have been at all damaged by the fire, while the whole
of his property is entirely burnt down. The property is
to some extent insured. The cause of the Eire is not
known.— D unfries Standard.
FIRE IN GounaLs.—Between six and seven o'clock
this morning, a fire broke out in the cotton factory of
Messrs. WAslan, in Muirhead -street, Gorbals, shortl:•
after the work had been set on, which for a time threat-
ened not only the destruction of the entire building, but
the loss of a number of lives. It originated in the pick-
ing-room, and speedily enveloped the whole of the lower
flat. By the timely arrival of the Gorbals fire-engines,
its farther progress was checked, and the upper flats of
the building saved ; a considerable amount of property,
however, was destroyed. When the fire was first ob-
served, the workers in the lower flat made their escape
as quickly as possibly ; but those in the other parts of
the 'building, especially in the upper flat, got through the
smoke with difficulty. We are happy to say that no
person was injured, and that the flames were completely
got under by nine o'clock. The West of England en-
gine, wo may remark, was in attendance, as well as the
Gorbals brigade.—Glasgew Saturday Post.
