OUR MACHINES SHop.-Bingham &
Co., our new machinists are now hard
at work in their shops, and we are
glad to say are getting an abundance
Of work, not only from the people of
the county, and the Valley, but from
Ohio, and even from Alabama. They
contemplate making some very decid-
ed modern improvements in the
shops, and among them is the plac-
ing Of u steam hammer in their smith
shop, with capacity TO do any kind
Of iron work, from the tiniest up to
steamboat shaft. They will also put
u furnace in their foundry depart
ment, to take the place Of the pres.
ent cupulo. These gentlemen are
filling want long felt here, and we
are glad TO chronicle the fact that
they are meeting with more success
and business than they anticipated.
Mr.. sehon is making considerable
improvement in his Saw Mill, by en-
larging its capacity, putting in
new circular saw and other machin-
cry. When he gets his contempla-
ted improvements made, he will have
one Of the best Saw Mills in the val
ley. Mr.. Henry j. Benedict, a gen.
tlcman well known to our people,
and one Of the best Saw Mill men in
the country, is general superintend.
ent Of the Mill.

A Fl re which broke ont in the cid

Dir. Benjamin Perry, the cal at
Bristol, on Wednesday, L chcd
during The night 5000 barrels of Pc
troIcum, mostly stored in an extensive
range Of cellars beneath the burning
warehouses. IS these barrels burst
the oil reached the public drains,
which were on fire nearly half a N Ie
from tie scene Of the outbreak, the
flames issuing feom the gratiugs Of
the channel courses. In one instance
a man, whose clothes had got satu-
rated with petroleum, while he was
aiding the iremen, stood unwItIingIy
near a grating in the gutter, and the
flames from the oil in the drain. sud
denly lgniting his clothes he would
have been sadly burnt but for,one Of

nearly drowning him with water, The
fire in the buildings burnt all day
Yesterday, and all the 5000 barrels
Of oil were sacrificed. Some work
men rescued S45 barrels Of oil from
an adjoining warehouse, and while re
moving them the men had TO cover III
the drains with clay in order to pre-
vent any fire reaching the oil as it
was being carried past the openings.
The windows of adjoining premises
also had to be stopped up with clay,
so fierce were the flames. After the
walls of the warehouse were RACED to
the ground the fire continued to burn
fercely in the cellars. With the
utmost difficulty the fire brigade pre-
vented the flames from extending to
valuable stores adjoining. In n
cellar ten tons Of Iedgers and books
of the late West of England Bank,
and now the property of the official
~liquidators, were destroyed. They
were insured. Fifteen thousand hides
of great value, belonging to Messrs.
Bisley and Brown, of London, were
saved IN a warehouse on the same
premises of Mr. Perry. There were
Two or three assurances effected on
them, and in one office alone the
sum was $4,000. The oils belonged
to Messrs. Pritohard and Co., Of
Bristol. The damage will be many
thousands of pounds. At . late hour

Great robbery OF Diamonds.
From the TimeS.J

Office in Hattongarden, the mail bag
containing the registered letters and
packets, among which were large
c0nsignments of diamonds for the
Continent and elsewhere, being car
ried off in the very presence OF the
postal officials. 1t is customary at
the Hatton-garden Post office to
make up two bags for the evening
mail, II containing the ordinary
letters, the other the registered let
lers and packets, which are conveyed
in van to the General Post Office.
The work of making up these bags
was just being completed on We'd
nesday evening, the hour being o
few minutes past 5, when the gas was
suddenly turned off at the meter, and
the whole building plunged into dark
ness, to the CONSERVATION of the
employees, and such of the general
public as happened to be tr~ansacting
business in the Office, In the COM
motion which followed, the mail bags
were snatched from the hooks on
which they were hanging behind the
counter and carried off, by whom no
one at present can say. When lights
had been procured, and order restored,
it was found that the robbers had
GOT clear away with their booty, the
value of which is Close upon 100000.
The robbery must have been very
skilfuIIy and carefully planned, 1t is
supposed to have ben executed with
the help Of a Confederate, who turned
off the gas at the right moment, the
hypothesis being thai the robbers
entered the office and engaged in
business in the usual manneA and
that the gas was turned off at a given
signal, So as to enable them in the
darkness and confusion to leap oyer
the counter, seize the bags, and trans
fer them to some vehicle waiting
outside. The gas meter was situated
in a cellar underneath the Ofice;;'to
which it would have been difficult
for a stranger to get access without
attracting attention.
Whatever other property they NAV
have obtained, tno vuJu~v Vi .nvso
who planned the robbery was no
doubt to get possession of the dia-
monds, in which there is a large bust
ness done between Hatton-garden
and the Continent. Hatton-garden
is the headquarters of the diamond
trade in London, and as many of the
jewellers there have houses in AM
sterdam, Paris, and other Continen-
tai cities, as well as manufactures in
Birmingham and Coventry, large
consignments Of valuables are con-
stantly passing through the Hatton-
garden P~ost-ofice. It is not at all
unusual for a registered letter or
packet to contain $4,000 or $4,000
worth of diamonds, and a complete
system of insurance is generally
adopted. This is effected through
an insurance office at a charge aver
aging Is. Sd. per 9100 value. Some
merchants take out a floating policy
by paying premiums in advance to
insure 100000 or ESQ., 600 worth of
goods, and every time a parcel is
despatched the insurance office is
advised Of its value, and writes off the
