GALA MITOUS FIRE
AT ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK.
lCOncluded.)

NCOuCluueu.J
This is the largest dock fire that has
happened in the port Of London for some
time and following so soon after the
serious outbreak which happened at the
western end of the same warehouse q few
weeks since, has caused much excite
ment among the dock people and the
owners of waterside property. The
former fire originated on one of the up
per floors, in which was stored IA quaint
ty of hemp and coir, and this second
outbreak appears to have commenced on
a floor which contained a similar descrip-
ton of stock. The discovery was made
about eleven o'clock, smoke being OBJ
served TO issue from the apertures of the
fifth floor of the G division of the ware
house, and before any adequate force
could be got together in order to cope
with the fire at that early stage, the
flames combat municated throughout The
whole range of floor, the dense heat and
smoke rendering any near approach to
the entrance quite impracticable. Capt.
Shaw, the chief of the now Metropolitan
Fire Brigade Che act which places that
body under the authority of the Metro

into operation on that day. was quickly
in attendance with most of the powerful
steam land engines in London as also.
the steam floating engines from the river;
but Notwithstanding their united exer-
tlons The flames continued to extend to
the adjoining division.
1t is stated that had the fire happened
during the night the place would have
been better protected, for the men hav-
ing been at work from the usual hour in
the morning, some of the iron divisional
doors which cut off the communication
between the floors would not have been
opened in order to facilitate the ordinary
business in the warehouse.
Regarding the probable extent Of the
amount Of property destroyed, some re-
ports state that it will exceed 5000 900,
and that almost every Insurance Office in
London will suffer. The origin of the
fire is Il perfect mystery, and no doubt
the Dock Company will institute a most
searching investigation as to the cause.
Happily no lives were lost.
The property destroyed comprises the
upper floors of two large divisions of the
warehouses, and of course the loss of
merchandise must be very considerable.
On the lower floors were stored a large
amount Of talIow and other inlammabIe
materials, and had they ignited is is diff
cult to conjecture what would have been
the extent of the conflagration. It is
understood that most of the merchants
property consumed was covered by po-
licies Of insurance. The Dock Company
were similarly protected to some extent.
A number of Dock Directors, share
holders, and officials visited the dock
during the raging of the fire.
The following steam fire engines, be-
longing TO the Metropolitan Fire Brigade
were brought into use =

hear) Mr.. Willoughby Smith had IN
vented a most delicate and perfect in
strument for testing the insulation dur
ing the whole process of laying, splicing,
&c. Mr.. Varley did not think that a
revenue of $1,000, 900 sterling per an
nun would be at all an unreasonable
anticipation, particularly as the Persian
Gulf cable, with all it's imperfections Of
management and its delays, yielded
$4,000 "A year. The instruments 10 be
used in connection with the Atlantic ca
BILE would work eight times as rapidly as
those employed on the Persian Gulf cable.
Mr.. Field further explained that the
Anglo-American company had of necessi-
ty been SO rapidly formed that at present
the directors were London men, but that
it was intended to unite the lnterests.of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and
other large cities on the board. The
scheme was cosmopolitan, and the com
pany would receive messages from all
other telegraph companies and transmit
them in the order of reception. With
regard to capital, he stated that of the
$500, 900 required, 94OO,O0O was SUBJ
scribed before he left London, and that
it was intended to close the list for Lon
don on Monday, and for the country on
Tuesday. Eight gentlemen connected
with the Telegraph Construction and
Maintenance Company had, at one sitting,
subscribed 100000 each. Mr.. Marley
illustrated, by experiment, the "splicing';
process and subsequent insulation by
gutta percha. He also stated Gn reply
to questions) that the electric condition
of the submerged cable was perfect, and
that the insulation, owing to the depth
and the cold, was much greater than
near the surface. Mr.. Canning and Cap
tain Anderson expressed a confident be-
lief that the old cable would be recover
ed. If the Great Eastern could pick up
the "bright" it would be spIiced, and
the operation of laying both cables
would go on simultaneously. If not,
one of the smaller vessels would be de-
tached to pick up. MI. RawIins called
attention to the fact, that three or four
miles of the lost cable had actually been
recovered. Votes of thanks to the gen
tlemen who had made the explanations
were adopted.

A TALL SToRY.-A writer, in Black
mood, detailing his experiences in the
American war, says -" I had just been
ordering our men not to waste their am
munition, and 10 fire only when they saw
the person of a Yankee completely ex-
posed, when close at hand | heard the
dull thud of a bullet striking home, and
turning round saw one of our soldiers, IL
gallant young fellow whom [ knew well,
throw up his arms and fall heavily to the
ground. Dismounting at once, / hasten
ed TO his side but, finding that the ball
had struck him right in the middle of the
forehead | regarded him as a corpse, and
deemed all further assistance wholly I'M
necessary. Not many minutes had elaps-
ed, however, before the apparently dead
man began to move; and when the sur
geon, who had already arrived, poured
some brandy down his throat, to our in
finite amazement he opened his eyes. A
few hours ACCOMMODATIONS to relate
when the bleeding from the wound had
ceased, he had recovered sufficiently from
the severe shock to return to his post of
duty. According to the surgeons'S state
ment, the ball, striking obliquely, had
glanced, passing between c%uticle, and
skull, all around the head, emerging at
last from the very place it had first en-
tered"

Increase of TpPu;aiion.

In 1860, the population Of Pennsylva-
MIA was 2,9O6,115, and the largest vote
(for Governor that year was 492,624.
Divide the population by the vote for
Governor, we have a fraction less than one
0Oter to SIR popu7ation-say one to six.
The recent vote for Governor amounted
to 597,37O-which, by the test Of 1850
would show population of 8,584,o2O,
in Pennsylvania, in l86G-an increase of
591,395, Considerably over half million)
in six years-say 100000 year, in the
whole State.
The interior cities of Pennsylvania
taking the population of 1860 and the last
vote for Governor as a test, show hand
some gain, as follows:
