FIRE AT OLD BRENTFORD.—Wednesday it was re-
ported in Brentford that during the previous night a most
daring attempt had been made to set fire to the extensive dis-
tillery and premises belonging to Sir Felix Booth, Bart. It.
appears that, about three o'clock, as police constable James
Cuisham, T 110, was proceeding round his beat, he observed
smoke issuing from the bullock-house at the rear of the pre-
mises. The bu:lding in question is very spacious, being up-
wards of 300 feet long, and on the ground-floor frequently
contains nearly 500 head of cattle, while the floors above are
filled with ground grain to the value of from 10,000/. to 12,0001.
On hastening to the spot he found Mr. Swan (one of the ma-
nagers), who with the watchman and other persons, were already
there, when by great exertions the flames, which were found
to he raging in a narrow passage leading to the feeding-place,
and filled with a quantity of shavings, were soon extinguished.
No carpenters' work having been done for three weeks in the
building, there is no doubt the fire must have been caused by
some incendiary.
RIO DE JANEIRO, MARCH I.—By the search made
by the police in the horse of Isidore Joaquim Pereira, house-pro-
prietor at the bar of Tejuca, the discovery of five interred bodies
was made—of blacks, ,laves of his own, whom he assassinated
by flogging at different periods. The criminal is arrested.
Upon this, a correspondent observes :—" Yes, arrested fur a
day or two ; but a bet may safely be laid of 50 to 1, that no more
will be heard about this matter, and that after a couple of
months Senor Isidore will be again quietly in his house, chas-
tising his blacks worse than ever." Bara de Tejuca is only five
miles from the city of Rio, and that in fart belongs to the city.
The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have
sent in about 50 workmen to rebuild that portion of the stable-
yard adjoining the mansion of Colonel Peel, opposite the gland
entrance of the Duke of Sutherland's mansion.

THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.
ADMIRAL SIR EDWARD OWEN'S ORDER OF THE DAY OX
ASSUMING THE COMMAND OF THE MEDITERRANEAN FLES
" In taking upon myself the command of the Mediterraneal
fleet, and the direction of the various duties on that station, I
feel highly gratified by the good will which I have found pre-
y ailing in the several ships comprising it, and I beg to offer 0,1
sincere acknowledgments to Sir F. M. Ommanney, my 'raise"
diate predecessor, of whose valuable services I shall have the
honour and the gratification to avail myself as second in cola:
mand. To Rear-Admiral Sir J Louis, Bart., superintendn
of the dock-yard ; to the several captains, commanders, Du
commanding officers ; to the lieutenants, to the officers of Abe
Royal Marines; to the warrant and petty officers; to theses'
men of every description, as well as the non-commissioned
officers and privates of the Royal Marines, I am most hopP la
expressing my satisfaction with the good order, the reg
and the right good feeling so generally established. I trust that
all will in their respective stations still uphold the credit of tbe
naval service in which they hold so prominent and:
honourable a position. It must be borne in In'n
however, that this fine fleet, perfect as it has 111—si
made in all its equipments and appointments,
higher duties to perform than those of mere parade, or mu
indulgence of the individuals serving, in those gratifist
lions which will draw one moment from the great object 4
from the details of the several duties resting upon each.
fleet must, on the contrary, be at all times perfect i
order, its dist ipline, and its exercises, in momentary realliniu;
to meet whatever contingencies can possibly arise. With the
view the indiscriminate indulgence of the shore must bolt
strained, and the example of self-denial, on the part of
officers, will furnish a most useful example to those Wu:,
them. It is, in the moderate expectation of the superiors,
their knowledge of those placed under them, in their mark
notice and encouragement of the good men, and in the tiro,elol.
restraint of the idle, that the best foundation for good diseipll
will be laid, leading, as it should do, to that unmeasured des.,S
tion for the service of our most gracious Queen and our belaTi
country, which their honour and their interests demand and u."-
for at our hands.
" I urge, therefore, on each individual in his station, whit
ever it may be, to contribute, as all may do, in their co the
and example, to that harmony of discipline, which rest nu the
willing submission and respect of all to their superiors, of .;
kindness, the condescension and the friendly interest of .
superiors in the welfare of their subordinates as well as in
consolation and the general good will of all."
