Two MORE FlRES.—Between one and two o'clock
on Wednesday morning a most destructive fire was
discovered in the lower part of the premises occupied by
Mr. W. Fryer, grocer and cheesemonger, 1, High-
street, Camberwell. The progress of the flames was
extraordinarily rapid, and owing to the lapse of time
which occurred before water could be obtained, the fire
tad caused great devastation before the firemen were in
possession of the means of checking it. Tho shop is
burned down, and the kitchen at the back of it most
seriously damaged. The next house, in the occupation
of Mr. James Rowley, bootmaker, is materially injured,
and the stock and furniture considerably damaged. No.
3, occupied by Mr. Morgan, baker, is also slightly
burned : and the house No. 9, opposite, tenanted by
Messrs. Wade Brothers, linendrapers, is scorched by the
heat from the flames. Mr. W. Mould, oilman, of 1,
Wyndham-road, has suffered considerably ; his stock
and furniture, both by water and removal, are much in-
jured. Mr. Fryer is not insured for the contents ; the
building is insured in the Dissenters' office. The other
property is partiall insured. Cause unkrown.—At ten
minutes past five o'clock the police-constable upon the
beat.di,scovered a fire in the extensive warehouses and
workships belonging to Messrs. Perkins and Sharpus,
wholesale tin-plate workers, 6, Bell-court, Cannon-
street, 'City. Mitch damage is done throughout the
building and to the stock, the work-benches, fixtures,
flooring, joists, and roof in the top floor (where the fire
originated) being leaned, and the contents most seri-
ously damaged on the first and ground floors of the
warehouse. The firm are insured for the stock in the
Sun office. It is not known how the fire originated.
We understand that the several Noblemen and
gentlemen whose meeting at Lord Howard's was noticed
tin a former occasion have continued their deliberations
from time to tune upon the Church question, and were
preparing resolutions and 'a memorial to the Queen
against the recent changes in the form of conductinr
public worship, and attempts to subvert the principles of
the Reformation, to he submitted to a more extended
meeting intended to be held early in this week, but under
existing circumstances it has been deemed expedient to
suspend their proceedings until after the meeting of Par-
liament.—Times.

EXTRAORDINARY GLUT or FlSH.—Tuesday Bil-
lingsgate, Hungerford, and the different metropolitan
fish markets were enormously glutted with various kinds
of fish, which sold at unusually low prices ; and the
supply of mackarel was so abundant that they sold in
Clare-market at the almost incredible price of Id., and
even an low as a halfpenny a piece. At this time of the
Tear mackerel is not considered to be in season ; those,
however, brought into the markets yesterday were re-
markably floe, and were eagerly bought up.
HANDSOME SPECULATION.—It is stated that within
forty years the United States have extinguished the In-
dian title to 4:30,000,000 acres of land for 82,000,000 dol-
lars. At this rate they paid the Indians an average of
less than 20 cents. per acre. Now, if the United States
disposed of those lands to their citizens at the present
low Government rice of 1 dollar 25 cents, they have
received into thei asury the slam of 455,500,000 dol-
lars above the o I cost.—Cherokee Advocate.
