DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—On Saturday evening a fire
broke out in the farm-yard at Northflee:, Green, near
Gravesend, by which the barns, stables, and other out-
offices, together with four large stacks of wheat, and a
quantity of wheat, partly thrashed and partly unthrashed,
which had been in the barn in which the fire originated,
were totally consumed. The damage is estimated at
£2OOO, but the property was insured. On Sunday morn-
ing, at half-past five, a fire broke out at the Black Horse,
High•street, Gr vesend, by which six houses in High-
st reet, and three in the rear, were totally destroyed. Two
persons were badly burnt, and one man (in the employ-
ment of Mr. Wombwell) is supposed to have perished.
The loss is about £lO,OOO.
A GREAT Ram—The greatest race the world ever
saw is, while we write, " coming off," and all mercantile
Europe, in anxious expectation, is awaiting the issue.
The abettors and originators of the race are the Austrian
and French Go zernments ' • the latter with its long-orga-
nized and highly-perfected system of conveyance at its
disposal, the Austrian Government with no other reliance
than on the intrepid, enterprising, and enduring Waghorn,
whose name history will ever associate with the opening
and improvement of the communications with India.
Long distant will the racers be from each other in their
course, though they will start and terminate in one point.
Bombay is to be the place of departure, and London that
of arrival. From Bombay to Alexandria both will ba in
juxtaposition, their speed being regulated by circum-
stances beyond their control. The true start will be from
Alexandria; Waghorn taking his course from that port
to Trieste, and the carriers of the French mail pursuing
their usual route to Marseilles. One will proceed through
Germany to Ostend, the other through France to Calais,
thence bending their course both to Dover, and by rail-
road to London. The time for leaving Bombay was to
be the Ist instant, and the appearance of one or other of
the contending racers may be daily, perhaps hourly,
looked for.
