DIE LABEAN COAL MlNES.—Advices from Labuan
and Borneo Proper to the 24th of August state, that the
coal vein on the main land belonging to the Eastern
Archipelago company, which was before reported as being
30 feet thick, is now found to be a remarkable mass up-
wards of 60 feet thick, and altogether so extensive above
water level that steam power for the purpose of working
it will not be required for ten years to come.

RUSSIA AND THE NEW SAINT.—On the morning of the
30th ult., the cannon of St. Angelo announced to the
Roman world the accession of a new saint to the calendar,
in the person of Father Andrew Babola, a Pole, of the
company of Jesus, whose promotion to the honours of
martyrdom and beatification has been actually effected, in
spite of the remonstrances and opposition of the court of
Russia. All Romanist subjects of the Czar now residing
in Rome are stated to have received private admonition
from the Russian embassy that they would do well to
abstain from attending the ceremony, which was sumptu-
ously performed by the chapter of St. Peter's, the Pope
himself only undertaking the still higher ceremony of
sanctification. The portrait and biography of the blessed
father were abundantly distributed at the gates of the
church, and the expressions used in the latter were by no
means calculated to soften down any irritation already
existing in the mind of the Emperor Nicholas, alluding
forcibly to the ignorance and barbarity of the schismatics
of the Greek Church, and detailing the atrocious torments
with which the Cossack officers, Zieleniecki and Popenko,
put the saint to death at Gianovia, in 1657, on account of
his zeal and success in converting schismatic ecclesiastics,
with their flocks, to the pale of Rome. His Holiness and
the sacred college paid their adorations to the martyr in
St. Peter's in the afternoon."

AMERICAN CRIMINAL COURTS.—At the Supreme
Court, in Alfred, Maine, on the 14th inst. (October), Wm.
E. Haskell, who was convicted on two indictments for
store-breaking, being asked by Judge Howard if he had
anything to say, made some hypocritical remarks, calcu-
lated to propitiate the judge, and received sentences of
two years in the State prison on each indictment. County-
attorney Drew observed that the prisoner was a dange-
rous man, and should have had a more severe sen-
tence ; and Haskell replied in some personal remarks,
which brought down the audience in a perfect uproar, so
that some time elapsed before order was restored. The
sheriff then informed Haskell that Deputy Lord would
take, him back to gaol; but the prisoner objected, and
expressed a, willingness to go along with Deputy Moulton.
This arrangement was not approved by the sheriff; and
when an attempt was made to take Haskell out of the
dock, a tremendous fight occurred,--sheriffs, police, and
lawyers, assisting to bind and carry off the prisoner, who
fought like a madman. For this freak the judge re-con-
sidered one of his sentences, and sent him to Thomaston
for 17 years, instead of four. He had prepared a heavy
bludgeon with which to knock down Sheriff Moulton,
which was the reason of his anxiety for the pleasure of
the company of the latter to gaol.—New York Herald.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT NEW YORK.

ABOUT six o'clock, on Sunday morning, the 30th ult., a
fire was discovered in the upper part of one of the build-
ings in the block at the corner of Fulton and Nassau-
streets, known as Fowler's-buildings. It is probable that
the flames had been smouldering for some time in the in-
terior of the building, as the fire 'had attained great
strength when it was discovered, and although the rm,
raised by the police and the insurance watch, was promptly
responded to, the flames were raging in three buildings,
No. 121 and No. 123, Fulton-street, and 96, Nassau-street,
before the firemen could commence effective operations.
While some of the men were engaged in saving the
goods, they were subject to the greatest peril. The beams
of the third floor having been burned through, two heavy
iron safes fell with a tremendous crash on the floor below,
and the whole mass sank into the cellar, bearing with it
several of the men who were labouring to secure the goods.
John Carman and Michael O'Brien were descending
the stairs, when they were caught by the falling mass,
and buried beneath the ruins. It is also thought that a
young man, named John Van Alen, shared the same fate.
About two o'clock the next morning, the body of John
Carman was recovered and taken to the station-house. It
was so badly crushed and burned that it could only be
identified by his gold watch and chain. Meanwhile the
conflagration !continued, and the three buildings men-
tioned were entirely consumed. The building No. 98,
Fulton-street, was also burned out. The flames caught
the roofs of the adjoining buildings, and of the Herald
newspaper building on the opposite side of Nassau-street.
These structures, however, were saved, though not with-
out great damage to the contents by water.
The buildings consumed were owned by Mr. Jonathan
0. Fowler, grocer, of Greenwich-street, whose loss is esti-
mated at 40,000 dols. ; insurance 28,000 dols. The ground
is leased to him by the Reformed Dutch Church, to whom
it belongs. The block consisted of six stores, one of which
was not harmed. They cost 80,000 dols., and were in-
sured for 50,000 dols.
The stores No. 123, Fulton, and N. 96, Nassau-street,
were chiefly occupied by P. S. Rogers, clothier, whose loss
is estimated at $165,000, on which there was insurance to
the amount of $50,000. The total loss by this fire is pro-
bably not less than $350,000, about one-third of which is
covered by insurance.
About eleven o'clock a.m., while the above described
conflagration was raging in New York, a fire occurred in
Brooklyn, in the storehouses of Messrs. T. Shortland and
Sons, on the North Pier of the Atlantic Dock, recently
occupied by Messrs. Verplank and. Chambers. The fire
broke out in the engine room of No. 33, and extended to
the adjoining stores on either side. The buildings and
machinery were greatly damaged, and the contents,
amounting to nearly 70,000 bushels of wheat and corn,
were partly consumed and partly spoiled. The total loss,
probably, exceeds $BO,OOO.
