At nine o'clock, yesterday morning, the gable-end of a house in
the Maze, Tooley-street, No. 6, gay:: way, and in its descent broke
in the window-casements of the first floor of the house opposite,
and fell with a dreadful crash into the street happily, at the instant,
no person was passing. About the same time fell the stacks of
chimnies of three houses, 6,7, 8, in William's-place, Walworth.
At No. 6, the roof and back rooms were wholly demolished,
from one of which two infant children had but the moment' before
been taken from bed. Between nine and ten o'clock the stack of
chimneys belonging to Mr. Warren's house, in Bedford-square, was
blown down, and broke the roof of the house, and many of the
tiles and mortar were forced into the bed-room, but no person re.
ceived any injury. Abo'it 11 o'clock an immense stack of chim-
neys, belonging to Salvador-house, in Bishopsgate-street, fell with a
tremendous crash, which forced in the roof of the house, hut we
are happy to say, the terrified inmates escaped without sustaining any
injury. Most of the bricks and rubbish fell into the fore-court of
Mr. De Tutett's premises. The front of one of the modern-built
houses also, near the Albany-road, Camberwell, was completely
blown in yesterday morning: althotigh inhabited, no one was hurt.
A stack of chimneys was blown down at the west end of the Lon-
don Hospital, Mile-end road, which broke through the roof, and
did much damage ; fortunately, none of the inmates were hurt, but
the alarm among the invalids may be better conceived than de-
scribed. A large window, placed in the south side of St. Mary
Abchurch, Lombard-street, was, by a sudden gust of wind, blown
entirely out, with a tremendous crash. The upper part of the front
wall of a house, two stories high, at the corner of Hoxton-square,
Horton-town, Which was occupied by a person of the name of
Wright, an oilman, fell into the street with a dreadful crash, leav-
ing the roof, which was supported from the side walls, as well as he
under part of the house, completely undisturbed.

Three timber carriages, heavily laden with part cf
the cargo of the Columbus, Canadian ship, passed the Royal Ef-
change yesterday, just at the close of the 'Change, and attractcd
great attention.
DINNER TO THE DUKE OP MONTROSIL—Thursday. a
dinner was given in the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh, by the
Royal Company of Archers, the King's Body Guard, to his Grace
the Duke of Mowntosx on his appointment to be their Captain-
General. About six o'clock, one hundred and twenty of the Meth
bers of the Company, the Noble Captain-General, and several
other distinguished guests, sat down to dinner the Honourable
General Duey in the Chair, who had been called to it in conse-
quence of the unexpected absence of the Earl of ELGIN. A great
many loyal and patriotic toasts were given in the course of the
evening. His Grace left the room about ten o'clock, and the Com-
pany separated at half-past eleven.
Tuesday last, Lieut. GOLDSMITH, of the IsltatatE
cutter, on the preventive Service, partook of a dinnertgiven by the
Gentlemen of Penzance and its neighbourhood, at Pearce's Hotel,
in consequence of the replacing of the celebrated Logan Stone in
its original position, On the same day, the crew of the cutter par-
took of a plentiful dinner, given them by their Commander, to cele-
brate this event. After partaking of the substantial fare provided
for the occasion, and which was served to the seamen un3er an
awning, on the deck of the vessel, in Peuzance-pier, they were re-
galed with an abundant supply of punch.
The forthcoming new Series of the Talas entitled
" Highways and By.ways," is reported to be full of pathos and in-
terest, and quite worthy of the Author, whose first series procured
him the highest possible reputation as a Novelist.
