DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—This splendid establish-
ment is still literally crammed, night after night, to witness
the joint attraction of Wallace's new opera of Maritana, and
Flora Fabbri in the new ballet of The Devil to Pay. Sorry,
indeed, are we to see, by the official announcements, that
the present week is the last of her engagement, owing to the
approach of the pantomime; and certain we are that no one
will miss the only opportunity they may ever have at seeing
one of the first of living danseuses.
COLOSSEUM.—The following distinguished persons
have visited the above splendid establishment during the
past week :—Earl Bathurst, Chief Baron Pollock, Prince
Mohun Lal, Count Bathyany, Lady Gurney and family,
Lord Curzon, Lord Charleville, Countess Sellers, the Danish
Ambassador, ke. &c.
The members of the Royal Western Yacht Club
have sow resolved to defer their decision relative to the
erection of a new club-house until August next.—Plymouth

CARRIAGE ACCIDENT TO THE LORD MAYOR'S
CARRIAGE.—On Friday morning, between twelve and one
o'clock, as the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Lady
Mayoress, were returning from a party in their carriage,
when on arriving nearly opposite the Haymarket, a street
cab and horses, without a driver, came galloping up at a
furious rate, having been left on the stand without any per-
son to take care of it, and ran with violence against the car-
riage horses of his Lordship. The shaft of the cab entered
the side of one of the horses, which almost instantly caused
its death. Such was the violence of the collision, that both
the carriage and cab horses were thrown to the ground. The
Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress alighted from the carriage,
happily without sustaining any injury: A cab being imme-
diately
procured, they proceeded home in it. The can iage and
surviving horse were removed to the Lemon Tree livery-
stables, in the Haymarket. Not the slightest blame is to be
attributed to the coachman.
SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last
a meeting of the Wardens of Rochester-bridge was held, for the
purpose of receiving the plans of the South-Eastern Company,
and of the North Kent Railway Company, for crossing the
Medway. The South-Eastern was represented by Lord Tor.
rington and Mr. Fearon, and the North Kent by Mr. Vig..
noles. After a consideration in private of the plans in ques-
tion, those of the South-Eastern Company were selected.—

The Eastern Counties Company have ordered 500
waggons for the coal traffic which will come upon their line
at the completion of the branch to the Thames.—Railway

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BISROPSGATE.—A fire
occurred on Friday night, shortly before eleven o'clock, in
Catheritiewheel and George-court, Bishopsgate Without, by
which a lofty erection of four floors was burned from the
base to the roof, a vast quantity of valuable property de-
stroyed, and the beautiful chapel, known as " Bishopsgate
Chapel," so far jeopardised that, tbr some time, the greatest
fears n ere entertained for its safety. The building was let
out in warehouses and shops to Messrs. Forth and Co., wine
merchants, Mr. Bull, an envelope maker, and Mr. Johnson,
a carpenter, who severally occupied the ground, middle, and
upper tbors. Police-constable Millard, 131 City, first dis-
covered the fire as he was going along his beat; it was then
burning about the centre of the extensive erection. Suddenly
the flames burst from the whole of the middle, and upper
windows, and immediately afterwards the body of the build.
ing, from the first floor to the roof, exhibited a mass of flame.
Engines were sent for without delay, and in a short time
not less than six brigade engines, under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Braidwood and Mr. Crookland, the fore-
man, were got to work. The hose from one of the most
powerful of the brigade engines, was taken op the staircase
into the gallery of Dr. Townley's Chapel, and from that po-
sition the firemen were enabled to play most successfully
upon the fire. For some time, however, in consequence of
the vast mass of combustible material in the building, the
11. e could not be assuaged, but by half-past eleven o'clock
all danger of its further extension was at an end. How it
0.-iginated could not be learned, nor whether the several par-
ties were insured.
