UNION HALL.-(THIS_ DAY.)

Mr. Sidney Foster, of the Surrey Zoological Gardens,
attended to request the Magistrate's advice under the follow-
ing circumstances.
The applicant stated that he applied on the behalf of
the individual who furnishes the fire-worksto the Zoological
Gardens, and who for that purpose had recently purchased
an acre of ground in the vicinity of the gardens for the pur-
pose of carryin,, on his business. Within the last few weeks
a person has lately erected a shed close to the spot where
the fire-work business is going on, and this shed
he has converted into a kind of factory in which
he is carrying on a most dangerous trade, that of
varnish making. A few nights ago, owing to the negligence
of the man in charge of the shed, a Iv occurred these, and
nearly consumed it, and had not t!:e, wind been in the east,
there was every reason to believe that the flames might have
extended to the place whue the fireworks were, and that an
explosion of the IDC3t serious nature would have been the
result. The olject of the present application was to ascertain
if the person against whom the complaint was made could be
restrained from carrying on his trade so close to the fire-
work manufactory.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that ii the fire was caused by the
negligence of the parties carrying on the varnish-manufac-
tory the applicant had better serve him with a notice, and if
after that any accident should occur, he would be civilly as
well as criminally liable for the damage sustained.
The applicant, having thanked the Magistrate, withdrew.

THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB,

GRAND CHALLENGE Cur.—The announced great race for
the 10th of July, is at present the leading feature in the
aquatic circles. Subjoined arc the winners since the first
institution of this great contest with the entries for the forth-
coming race :-
1840. The Gazelle. 1842. The Ada.

1841. The Champion. 1843. The Enigma.
EmcriuEs.—Mvstery, 25 tons, Lord Alfred Paget, blue, red
Maltese croas ; hxquisite, 15 tons, T. R. Tatham, Esq., white,
blue cross, gold star ; Gazelle, 25 tons, T. Rutherford, Esq.,
white, with red arrow ; Enigma, 25 tons, Josiah Wilkinson,
Esq., crimson, gold Maltese cross ; Blue Belle, 25 tons, John
Chandless,' Esq., blue ; Gnome, 25 tons, Thomas Meesome,
Esq., blue and white, with star.
The Challenge Cup is a floating prize, open to twenty-
five ton yachts of any Royal Yacht club, and must be won
two following seasons by the same yacht before it becomes
the property of the owner. It was, however, determined at
the last Thames Yacht meeting, that a prize, value twenty-
five guineas, should be presented to the holder of the one
year, who should be unsuccessful on the second. Such a list
of powerful competitors we have never before remembered,
and the equality of the tonnage, with the exception of the
Exquisite, renders it difficult for the most observant yachter
to determine which to back.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM..—Yesterday the friends of
the Caledonian Asylum (the Hon. Sir George Rose in
the chair) presented the Rev. John Lees, M.A., with a
purse of a hundred sovereigns, and a piece of plate,
value one hundred guineas, bearing the following in-
scription :—" Presented to the Rev. John Lees, M.A.,
in pursuance of a resolution unanimously passed by a
public meeting of the guardians and friends of the Cale-
donian Asylum, held at the Freemason's Tavern, Lon-
don, on the 14th of April, 1844, as a lasting testimonial
of their respect for his character, and of their gratitude
for the paternal and unremitting kindness and zeal with
which, for a period of twenty-one years, he discharged
the duties of Superintendent and Secretary of that In-
stitution." Among the subscribers to this well-merited
testimonial were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, Sir Augustus Frederick 'D'Este, his Grace the
Duke of Sutherland, his Grace the Duke of .Riehnsond,
the Duke of Roxburgh, the Marquis of Bute, the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane, Lord James Stuart, M.P. ; Lochiel ;
Chisholm ; Sir Charles Forbes, Bart. ; P. M. Stewart,
Esq., M.Y. ; Colo:lel Hugh Baillie, M.P., James Ma-
theson, Lsu., of Achany,
FIRE.—Th:, morning, shortly after twelve o'clock,
some alarm was created in the immediate vicinity of the
Surrey Zoological Gardens, in consequence of a fire breaking
out in the boiling-House belonging to Mr. Lyons, floor-cloth
manufacturer, situate in Lovemore• gardens, Newington.
Fortunately the building was detached, or it is impossible to
tell to what extent the conflagration would have travelled.
By half-past one o'clock, owing to the exhaustion of all com-
bustible material, the fire was entirely extinguished, not
however until the boiling-house, with its contents, was con-
sumed. The origin of the outbreak could not be ascertained ;
the fire under the boiler had been raked out some time be-
fore the flames were discovered. Unfortunately Mr. Lyons
is not insured, and the present is the second fire that has
occurred upon his promises in the course of a few weeks.
PARISH OF ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.—CHURCH-
RATES.—Yesterday afternoon, a most numerous meeting of
the inhabitants of this parish was held in the vestry-room,
and, by adjournment, in the school-rooms adjoining the
church. According to the statements of several of the
parishioners, the meeting was the largest held in the dis-
trict since the passing of the Reform Bill. The meeting
was convened by the churehwardens, on account of a re-
quisition that had been presented to them by upwards of
500 of the inhabitantr, stating that it was intended to take
a vote to pay the sum of 60/. per annum as salary for
the Rev. Mr. Ainslie, who had been appointed chaplain
to the workhouse. The question was considered at a pre-
vious meeting, when the payment was refused, it being
alleged by several of the rate-payers that Mr. Ainslie was
not entitled to auy further remuneration, he being then in
the receipt of 5501. per annum as incumbent of St. Peter's,
Walworth. Several eminent dissenting clergymen after-
wards offered to perform the services gratuitously, but their
offers were rejected by the board. After some discussion con-
nected with the holding of the meeting, Mr. Brown, the
churchwarden, took the chair; and read the requisition amidst
much uproar. Mr. Shaw then proposed a rate of one half-
penny in the pound, amidst the most tremendous uproar.
The resolution was seconded. A most disgraceful scene next
ensued, during which several chairs and other articles were
broken in pieces. An amendment was passed to the effect
that the question should be considered by a committee, in
order that the sum might be raised by both parties, without
it being demanded as a rate. The amendment was carried,
but the parish will be polled on the subject. There were
about 1,200 persons present.
For solve time past a series of reports have been
circulated'respecting certain changes that have recently taken
place in the Royal Household, and- in anticipation of further
alterations which it is alleged are about to take place. It has
been studiously represented that the persons dismissed from
the Royal Household have been discharged without suffi-
cient reason, that the saving produced by their removal is to
be applied unfairly to purposes unconnected with the Royal
Household, and that the pensions to which these discharged
servants are entitled are not only of lower amount than
they ought to be, but that they are to be derived from a
fund which will increase the burdens of the people. These
reports have been circulated with so much industry and:ap-
parent candour, that we regret to say we were in one instance
deceived by them. We have since ascertained that they are
all, without exception, destitute of any foundation. Amongst
the number of attendants that it has been fo and necessary to
place upon the retired list, there are some whose conduct, so
far from entitling them to complain of the amount of pen-
sion awarded to them, has not entitled them to any retiring
allowance. There are others still retained :In the Royal ser-
vice whose conduct has not been satisfactory', and from those
sources may be traced those misrepresentations -which have
been forced into public notice.— Times.
SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ACTOR.---Mr. Edward
