FIRE AT BASS'S PALE ALE STORES.—Between the
hours of twelve and one on Sunday morning a fire was
discovered raging in the premises belonging to Messrs.
Bass, pale ale brewers, of No. 3 wharf, City-road Basin.
It commenced in the hay-loft over the stabling, and
owing to the easily ignitable nature of the stock the loft
was soon one complete blazing mass and the flames shot
through the roof into the air a considerable distance. A
number of engines were with all possible speed at the
scene, and, being aided by an abundance of water, they
soon extinguished the flames, the danger being confined
entirely to the loft and stabling, which are consumed. A.
man, who it is supposed had fallen asleep in the loft, is
reported -to be much burnt, and was taken to the
hospital.

PRINCE ALBERT AT COBUROt-AlLOCOrding to
letter, dated the 4th:inst., the Prince, accompanied by his
brother the Reigning Duke, went, the day after his arrival,
to visit the apartments occupied by their late father in the
castle of Ehrenbourg, which had been left precisely in the
same state, without a single article being removed.. Prince
Albert was deeply affected at the view. At two in the after-
noon, the whole court attended divine service in the catlig-
dral, every part of which was filled with the people, anxious
to see once more their beloved young Prince.
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S STATE DIN-
NEM—It is understood that the Reverend Primate has

-presiding at the State dinners, which will, consequently,
be resumed this season.

THE GALVANIC. TELEGRAPH ON TAE GREA r
wE,Tuic, HAlLwAy.—The first intelligence of the arrival of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert in this country from Ger-
manv, on Thursday last, was communicated to her Majesty,
at Windsor Castle, by means of the galvanic telegraph on the
line of the Great Western Railway. Within one minute of
the arrival cf his Royal Highness at the Paddington ter-
minus the information had reached Slough ; at which station
a special messenger, mounted upon one of the fleetest horses
in the royal stables, was stationed, by command of the
Queen, and who proceeded with the gratifying intelligence to
the Castle, where he arrived in eight minutes and a half from
the time of his leaving Slough. Thus the news of the Prince
Consort's return to England reached" her Majesty, and their
Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, in less than
ten minutes after his Royal Highness had arrived at Pad-
dington, aid forty, minutes before the PrincS reached the
royal residence at 'Windsor.

'We hear that a limited reduction:in thejtoyal stud,
comprising some of her Majesty's valuable saddle-horse:,
which, it is said, are to be sold; is likely to take place shortly.
