The Principality

PONTYPOOL. ON Mondny last, the mallagcrie of Mr. George Wombwell's visited this town, much to the delight and amazement of the curious, both old and young. BAPTIST MISSION:—The inhabitants of this town and Aber- sychan are anxiously looking forward to next Sunday, when it is expected that the Rev. J. Clark, formerly- a missionary in Africa, will preach, in the morning at., Abersychan and in the .evening at Crane-street chapel, Pontypool. THE REV. LEWIS POWKLL, of Cardiff; preached two most excellent sermons on last Sunday, at Sardis chapel,.Pontypool, to a crowded audience, who listened to his sermons through- out with the greatest interest. NARROW ESCAPE.—Oh Saturday, the 10th instant, while Mr. Ebenezar llees, of Tredegar, was playing on his harp before a festive procession, at Abersychan, the wheel of the vehicle broke off, leaving Mr. Rees and the, driver to fall to the road, but, fortunately, he received no harm, and the "lame driver" as well escaped unhurt. BLAENAU G W E N T.—Wo ET MY OF IMITATION.—We are informed on good authority that John Conway, Esq., and the proprietors of Abertulery Tin Works, have very kindly offered all their work- men at this place, carriage free, for them to go to Newport, or Bristol to purchase goods once in each month. We are ghid to hear also of this Company, that they never pay their workmen, but in the coin of the realm. This reflects much to their credit while the Truck system of paying the operatives is so generally and injuriously practised by the other masters surrounding them. CWMTILLEKY COI.I,IKRY.—We understand that Thomas Pro- theroe Price, Esq of Brecon, the propriecor of the above Colliery has made up his mind to-pay his cottiers,and other workmen wor- king at the said place, weekly in the coin of the fealm, which is a very unusual thing at the other collieries of- the neighbourhood. The benefit of such a wise and just determination, will ufelt throughout the place but no one will be benefitted thereby more than Mr. Protheroe himself. TIN-WORKS AT ABKKTU.I.ERY.—We find that these works are to be considerably enlarged, by the spirited proprietors. A new forge is to be erected in connection with the tin works, the foun- dation of which has uet'n already cut, and that Mr. tiudgeu, the famous engineer and the proprietor of the Union foundry Llan- hiletti, has become a contractor for the whole works, by whom the work is to be completed as soon as possible. The new forge and two tin-mllls arc to be 130 feet by 60 feet, with two other buildings of smaller dimensions, and will be capable of turning out 1,000 boxes of tin per week, when the erections are completed, and we are informed that MT; Hichard Budgcn, ihe contractor, has engaged Mr. John Wlide Surveyor of Ebbsv Vale works, to superintend-the erection oi those buildings. The forge and the tin-mills are to be worked by the power of two steam engines, which are to be made at the foundry of the contractor. .The present mills are worked by the power ol a very large water- wheel, these works will be of import-Hit improvement- in the pLica. ABERSYCHAN. — On the 10th instant, the true tvorite Society, of the White Hart Inn, held their Annual Festival, and after the members met at their Club-room, they formed themselves into a a procession, with all the regalia used on such occasions, and Mr. E. Rees, the harpist of the Ivorites, in a carriuge before them, playing some of his favourite Welsh airs." When the proces- si m armed5' at5 1'isga. Chapel, Talywauri; the Rev. William Thomas, the Minister of the place delivered a most eloquent ser- mon oil the occasion, from Luke Kith chapter and 8th verse, which ■WAS listened to throughout by the members, with attention and interest. After the ciose of divine service they returned to the White Hart Iiln, where they were regaled with- an excellellt dinner, by Miss Harries: TALYWAU-JJ.—On Saturday the 10th instant, the members of the Friendly Benefit Society, held at the White Horse Tavern, met at their Club-room, for ttie purpose of celebrating their Anni- versary. The members who have increased in the short period of eight months, to fitly four in number, attended divine service, at Pisga Chapel, where they heard a most impressive and appropriate sermon delivered by the Rev. W. Thomas, and when they returned they were''entertained at an ample dinner provided for them- by Mr. Jones, SOCIETY FOR PUOPAGATIOST OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS. —A public meeting was held at t he town school-room, on Thurs- day evening week, on behalf of the above venerable insutudoii. The chair was occupied by Evil. Phillips, Esq., who, in a most I\ppropnäe speedl, lntruÜueu(i the proceedings of the meeting; it was with much regret he had-to allude to the absence of many who ought to have been there upon so interesting an occasion. The'Rev. Mr. Davies,. Phillips, and Horwood, made appropriate addresses. T-he Chairman then called upon the deputation, | the Rev. Mr. FuHer, missionary, from Thorotd,Western Canada. who, in a long, and interesting speech, laid before the audience the claims of the society, It reall y was a treat to listen to counts so interesting, respecting the spread of the gospel in foreign parts, and the truly devotedness of those men whom God has used ii3 instruments in proclaiming, salvation to a lost world. The collection was as good as could have been expected from the attendance. POLICE.—SATURDAY, AUGUST 10.—[Before E. II. Phillips, Esq., and lev; D. Jones Clark. Mary Ami Williams and Thomas Williams were charged by Charles Meredith with an assault. Ordered to pay 7s. 6d. ex- penses.

ABER-G-AYEMT. BAPTIST'MISSIONARY SOCIETY. —0;I Sunday last, the Annual Sermons, on behalf of the above Society were preaghed in Frog- more Baptist Chape!, by theTley,. John Clarke, Missionary from Western Africa. Oh the following evening, a public meeting-was hold" in Lion Street Baptist Chapel the service was opened, by reading an appropriate portion of scripture, after which Mr. Clarke offered up prayer. The Rev. H.Pooie, Minister of the place presided. In his opening.remarks,he earnestly appealed to the meeting-to give the Society that support which it so highly metited., The meeting was ably addressed by the Revds". Micah* Thomas, and W. Aloss, (primitive Methodist). We were highly pleased with the deputation, Mr. Clarke. Never did we.listen to a Missionary who delighted us so much, and who. showed so much christian liberality. While speaking of the great success which •lias attended the' Baptist Foreign Missions, Mr.. Clarke -did not forget to speak in the brightest terms (-If other sections of the Christian Church, who are engaged in the same work. The brief sketch Mr".vClarke gave of his mission abroad was,most aíTecting. The difficulties, trials, and privations, with which he has met with have been ofrio ordinary character. Few men we apprehend have toiled harder, and worked more laboriously, in the Missionary field, than this gentleman. We understand that the collection exceeded what was anticipated. REAPING has commenced about Talybont, and other districts in Breconshire, and the promise of crops is abundant. The oats are particularly good in all the hilly districts, attributable to the seasonable weather of June and July.

CARMARTHEN. THE TRAINING COLLEGE.—The Welsh Education Committee, have recently issued a report of the state and progress of the Training College, Cannnrthcn. An.expehditure of nearly £ 12,0ti0 has within the last three years been incurred, for the purpose of affording.suiiable and competent instruction to masters of national schools. In the College there is room for 80 students. The ex- penditure for the seven quarters completed, has amounted to j|S50 19s. I ad., to meet which the quarterages of students have produced £ 1,1)14 Is. 4d., contributions of the National Society, £ 175 and the remainder £1,661 18s. 6d., (with the exception 0" £105) has fallen on the Welsh Education Committee. It has been estimated that the future net expenditure for 30 students will be from £ 800 to £ 900 beyond' the sunis payable by the students and the probable grants, in respect of certificates of merit, by the committee of Council. To meet this expenditure the Welsh Education Committee and the Finance Committee of the National Societyhflvetogethr allotted £ 890 per annum, andcertdiu members of the.Welsh Education Committee have agreed to take the financial responsibilities of the Training College for a limited period upon the above scale of allowance. The Committee of the institution have also issued a circular appealing for pecuniary support for the establishing a "Middle School," the objects of which are stated to be to supply liberal education suited to the children not only of those engaged in mines manufactures, and trade, but to ensure to the future Dr Wales instruction adapted to his calling. Ax AMERICAN ABDU'JTION CASE.—Rebecca Bernstein, W' was compelled on Friday last to obey the older of the court return to her relatives, from the cuivipaniotiship of Joubcrt, ha, it seems, been fully satisfied of the f tisehoods by which this mall. gained her. On Saturday last, wrought up to frenzy by the dis- grace wh.eh he iJallenhiled upon her, she undertook, with the aid of relatives and friends, to wreak a summary revenge. She visited Joubert at his store, corner of Julia and Tuhoupitoulas streets, and invited him to walk with her, stating at the time that she had escaped from the custody of her family. The father of Joubert, suspecting danger, insisted that he should not leave the house, but the fellow declared that lie would face the world if Rebecca were with him, dunned his best attire, and accompanied her. They proceeded to the corner of Annunciation and Race streets, followed at a short distance by three of her were there to aid her in case of an emergency. During the'y/alk," Joubert communicated the fact, that he had offered 1,000 dol's. to an acquaintance, if he would assist him in Again taking her from the guardianship of her family. While thus conversing, Rebecca suddenly threw off her bonnet,.upbraided him in violent terms for his infamous course, told him that she was satisfied of the false- hood of his solemn oath that he was negro blood, nor a married, man, and then, with a motion too quick to allow his retreat, she drew a pistol from her dress, presented it, and fired, the ball, penetrating his cheek and shattering the teeth of his left jaw. Joubert staggered, but the desperate girl finding her work buc partially done,, instantly drew another pistol and planting it di- rectly in his face, pulled the trigger. The weapon failed t.) second her intention. It snapped, and her friends fearing vio- lence from Joubert, immediately came up to her aid. One of them, pistol in hand, advanced to the wounded man and offered a fair combat but Rebecca, declaring that she would vindicate her own cause, "matched the third weapon and again essayed to shoot the late con:oanion of her flight. Joubert retreated as the (It infuriated girl advanced, and he owes his life to the fact that she could not, with her-ignorance of the weapon, discharge the load. A parley here ensued in this singular affair, and Joubert, before the crowd of persons assembled, declared that after Rebecca had left her home he had but two interviews with her, both in the presence of others. lie expressed himself most penitent for his intended crime and past deceptions, and avowed that he had re- ceived but his deserts. These statements appearing satisfactory to the parties, they drove off in a carriage, leaving Joubert to seek relief for his wound. One of the police came upon the spot at the close, of the affair, and attempted to arrest the girl. but we understand that Joubert said that he had no charge to make, and: had merited all that he had received, upon which no further" effort was made to detain her.—New Orleans Bee.

EXPLOSION AT SEAHAM IIAUBOUK.—An explosion, which, might have been attended with serious consequences, occurred on Sunday last, on board a vessel lying in Seaham harbour. Upon Saturday she took iu a portion of a cargo of South Hetton coals I and the crew v/ere distinctly cautioned net to put down, the hatches in case that any accident should occur from so doing. This warning, it would appear, had not been attended to; the hatches were closed, and the result was that while the mate: was Si riking- a light in the cabin of the vessel on Sunday forenoon, a fear ui explosiotrtook place, caused no doubt by the carbnretted hydrogen gas, which, arising from 'he coals closely confined in the hold, had communicated with the cabin, and filled it to some extent. Considerable damage was done to the vessel, and the mate was very severely hurt. The captain also, who happened to be in the cabin at the time, (lid not escape, but his injuries were not so serious as those of the mate. Expectations, however, are held out of the recovery of both parties.—Sttnderland Herald. GALLANT CONDUCT OF A YOUTH.—As several boys were bathing in the Fredlwey Creek, near Pewit Inn, Grim hy, on Monday evening last, among them was TIWiI. Wardaie, who was unable to swim., On the bank were two Watching the con- sequences, they having just bathed and dress d; one of the two could swim—-the other,. Thomas Ilewson, soti of Mr. Edward Hewson, postman of Grimsby, could not. Wardale suddenly disappeared, and came up again and disappeared three times, and was going down for the last time when young ITewson rushed in with his clothes on, seized the drowning boy by the hair, and after placing his own life in the most imminent per. succeeded in saving the lad. Having got him out, he and his companion conveyed him to his mother: and brothers, one of whom fell on his knees and offered up a prayer of thanksgiving to Gud for so providentially savimr the life of his drowuiasr- brother. SUDDEN .DEATH OF THE KECOSDEK. or LOXDO.W — Intelli- gence. was received at the Maosio.n-hou.se on Tuesday.morning, of the death of the Right Hon. Charles Ewan Law, Q.C., Recorder of the City of London, which to >k place rather sud- Jenlv, at his residence, at Eaton-place. The hon. gentleman has"been ailing for some few dnys. but his illness was not of that character to cause alarm to his faiiiilv. lie served the office of Common Sergeant from 1830 to 1832, when he was elected Recorder. By his death a vacancy occurs in the re- presentation of Cambridge University in Parliament. Mr. It. Gurney, Judge of the City Sheriffs' Court, is spoken of in the City as a likely candidate for the vacant ReiordjrslJ.p.

VEGETARIAN BANQUET AND SOIREE. The aunual banquet of the Vegetarian Society- was held 011 Thursday evening week, in the large room at the Town- hall, Saltord, and was attended by members of the society from various parts of the kingdom. The room was very ;lu tastefully laid out and decorated.. There were nine tables exelusi le of that of the president, which extended the whole length of the room, each furnished and presided over by one of the lady members. Shortly after five o'clock Mr. J. Brotherton, M. P., took the chair, and at that time the room was filled by a very respectable company, numbering perhaps, 250, a fair portion being ladies. The bill of fare included—Savoury dishes:—savoury pies, mushroom and savoury pies, savoury fritters, savoury outlet. Sweets;- moulded farina, moulded sag-a, cheese cakes, moulded ground rice, blanc mange, custards. Fruitsgrapes, strawberries, cherries, preserved fruit. Beverages: — ten, milk, coffee, water, with other accompaniments of the tea-table. The Soiree, in the evening; was well attended. Mr. James Simpson, president of the society, addressed the com- pany at considerable length. The principal topics in his speech were an article in a recent number of the West- minster llevietc, written to show that the' tendency of the progress of civilization must be to induce cn abstinence from- animal food, and the cruelties necessitated, by the meat-eating system, as set' forth bv Dickens in iiis hold Words. Mr. Nelson dwelt upon the advantages of the vegetable system. He remarked that he believed there was more nutriment in a cabbage than a beaf-steak and urged that from the smaller amount to which the digestive powers were taxed by vegetable than by animal food, there was much greater comfort and safety in commencing work after a meal of the one than of the other. Mr. Joseph Borniend said that all were desirous of hap piness; but happiness could not be obtained without living: for it; and to. do this they must not obey what physiological laws they thought proper, but must ..live in obedience to the whole family of them. What duty could flesh-eaters, witlv their savage, expensive food, perform which vegetarians could not perform without it? or What organ, in the body of the one performed its-functions with greater iexaetitute than a similar organ in the body of the other? It was nothinc but the force of appetite that induced so manv to brave the clanger of depositing animal food in their system. Bv every law of mind-, and every rule of logic, by all laws of econ- omy, and by common observation,Ave must be driven tc this conclusion, seeing that we had the testimony of the first living chemist, that we got only. the same" clcmeuts from the mangled bodies of animals, as vj6 find in a purer form in the simple production of nature. The meeting was addressed by several other gentlemen, and the proceedings terminated about ten o'clock.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 15.-[Beit)re the Mayor, and C. C. Williams, Esq. ,c David Davies was complained against by Phillip Rudd, for non- payment of wages, amounting to 9s. 6d. The complainant worked piece-work for defendant, who is a shoemaker, residing in Canal- row, and the amount claimed was now due. The debt was incurred in December, I- Sl S. The defendant said he had paid 3s. 6d. to complainant's brother, and did not owe*more than 5s. 6d. Rudd was asked whether he had ordered his brother to receive the money, but not answering to the satisfaction of the magistrates, an order for 5s. 6d. was given. Thomas TImntts was charged with assaulting Ann Davis. This case has appeared before the magistrates before, but owing to the incapability of-the. woman to attend, it has been repeatedly ad- journed, It appeared that complainant resides at the Bridgend public-house, kept by her husband. She had occasion to go into the tap-room, defendant was sitting there, and he took up a glass and without saying a word, threw it at her. There was only the servant there. The blow rendered complainant insensible. She had never seen the man before to her knowledge. There was in the house, the servant maid, a young woman, and an Irish woman. The defendant said there were ttvo or three girls in the house, who wanted to pick a man's pocket he was with, and because they were prevented from robbing him, he received a large portion of abuse Feeling annoyed, he took up the glass and threw it, but did not intend "to strike anybody. Mary Kington heard a tremendous l'"W in the house and saw Mrs. Davis sutfGring from* the blow. Upon telling Thornae of what he had done, he replied, I don't e-are a for I shall only get a month of it." The defendant went by the name of Landaif Tom," and was so addressssd by witness. Ke was rather a noisy character. Morgan Davis, land- lord, said that the man alluded to by defendant had drunk some beer aad wanted to sleep, but was prevented by defendant. Upon the servant telling him that it would do the man good, and farther remonstrating with lnm, he, without saying a word, threw the glass and struck witnesses wife. He appeared very careless about the accident. The defendant Stated that he had nothing to say, and the magistrates considering he had been guilty of a most ferocious attack upon the woman, fined him 40s. and costs or two months' imprisonment.. The glass thrown was a heavy half-pint glass. The magistrates having, ascertained that beer was drawn between thS: hours of Divine service, on Sunday evening- to the defen- dent, the necessary information was ordered to be laid. John ULaearthy 'and his wife were charged by John'Welsh, upon the evidence of I'.C. Hagan, ivitli li,).i,in on the 13th of August, between three and four in the afternoon, created a disturbance in Ruperra-street. A.bout 100 people had assembled,anCl the female defendant was standing in the door-wav of Welsh'* house and her husband behind inlhe back kitchen, 'Th0 woman struck James Welsh, the'brother, in the head' with a stick and cut him severely. She also broke six panes of glass Did not see the husband do anything. Mr. J. Bird, who appeared for the defendants, cross- examined the policeman. Robert Thomas saw the window and believed each pane to be worth 6d. The sash was also damaged, and together with the glass, would be about 9s. Fined 9s. and costs or two months' imprisonment. Edward "Macarthy, a youngster of Jack Sheppard appearance, WAS charged with iiiilkiilg, cows, belonging to Win Davis. There were two companions with him, the one milking into a can and the other into a shoe One cow was milked quite dry. Remanded until Monday to produce the others. Charles Collins svas chrged with creating a disturbance in Mill- lane, whilst in a drunken state. Fined 5s. and costs. William Jamas, a boatman, was charged with stealing a hand- saw, the property of William Ellis, a carpenter, employed at the Bl1tc-doeks, building houses. The saw was safe on the 31st July, in ashed, which was locked up by prosecutor,ffcut was gone on the fallowing morning at six o'clock. There had been a board taken from the side at which a party could gain access. It was found at a shop kept by Townsend- Dennis, in 'Caroline-street where it had been sold by James, on Monday, for Is., with a promise that it was to be redeemed. P.C. Morgan, N-o. 9; having received information that several tools had been lost by Ellis, gave information at the »h'»ps and shortly after heard that a saw had been sold at Dennis's, which was now produced and identified by prosecutor. The pri- soner made a statement which clearly implicated himself. Com- mitted for trial.

A FEMALE IMPOSTKU. — On Friday evening last, a woman made her appearance on the platform of this station, and applied to one of the porters if he knew a respectable house where she could be accommodated for the night. He imme- diately took her to the house of Mrs. John Thomas, who rea iiiy received her, and shortly placed before her a sumptuous repast, with which she was very much pleased, In the morn- ing, after. hwing partaken of breakfast, she stated, that she had just arrived from the Cape oi Good Hope, where she had been hying for some time, but the death of a person of rank required tier appearance- in pngLtnd. She showed some very costly jewels, su h as gold watches (of these there were three), tc., which she had brought as presents for her frioiiis and also stated that she expected a quantity of luggage, consisting of numberless boxes and trunks by the next train. Accordingly, a little beffre the time, she went to the station to look for her luggage, but upon the arrival of the train she actually forgot to pay,for her entertainment, and took train for Swansea. \Ve have since heard that she has made her appearance in Aberavon. BRID3BVD M'icrr.vvics' INSTITUTION.—This institution has reccivel a very handsome present from Lord Adare, M.P., consisting of a very valuable selection of !io among which we noticed Black's Atlas (originally published at £ 10 iOs.) and Leibig's works on Agriculture and Animal Chemistry.

IS REÖOX- THE great Mountain cas.j wa; decided last It was an action of Replevin, nominally to recover damages for the im- pounding cattle,'the property of the plaintiff, but in fact to try the right of tiie plaintiff, Morgan Morgan, Esq, of Bodwigiad, to a piece of m iumaiu land, known as the Glog, or Mynydd-y- j Glog, extending over one thousand acres, on the lulls, in the V1.n,¡b of Penderyn, and claimed by him as his private freehold property. Oat..eothersidjtttvasciaimedby Sir Charles Mor- gan, Bart., as a portion of tiie waste iand of the manor of Brecon; and the Rev. W. Payne Davies, of CourtygoHend, claimed for his tenants, in the parish of Penderyn, a right of common over the whole of it. Although the trial fasted fuur long days, awl a large number of witnesses were examined, the various points of the case, as stated by his lordship on summing up, lay in a very narrow compass. His lordship said that he believed this to be the longest trial in wmcli he had irr his experience ever been en- the longest trial in wmeh he had irr his experience ever been en- gagea on the civil side. He expressed his opinion that it had been conducted with great ability on both sides. He then I described the pleas, and said that two questions only could remain for the consideration of the jury. Tne first was, whether the ground in question was a part of the Mynydd-y-Glog, and the soil and freehold of the defendant; and the second, whether the plaintiff had a right of common over jt. The burden of proof, on the first, lay upon the defendant; and, on the second, on the plaintiff. His lordship ther), in a very lucid manner, went over the history of the succession to, the property, conveyed by the deed of 1720, and said it. would be for the jury to determine, whether the Genffordd described by the plaintiff's witnesses, or the Genffordd pointed out by those of the defendent, was the real boundary. He expressed an opinion that the weight of evidence was in favour of the boundary for which the plaintiff contended. He said that it was a very curious part of the case, tli-,it, in the conveyance from Lord Jersey to the Rev. Reynold Davies, no mention was made of so large a portion of land as one thousand acres, though the value of it might not be very great and it-was difficult to suppose that the vendor did intend to sell, or the vendee to buy, without making some mention. There were, however, general words which would suffice to con- vey the ground, if tiie fee simple had invested in Lurd Jersey,— for the conveyance passed all commons, &c., in as full and ample manner'' as they were enjoyed under the leases held by the puchascr. This wouid render it necessary that they should carefully examine the conditions of these leases, through which his lord-ship went very minutely. His lordship very clearly arranged the principal facts, and read over such parts of the testimony given as bore upon each point. The jury, after half- an-hour's absence, delivered a verdict for the defendant, on the main issue of soil and. freehold," leaving the minor pleas to be arranged by consent. The counsel for the plaintiff were—Mr. John Evans, Q. C., Mr. Sergeant Jones, Mr. Davison, and Mr. Morgan. Attorneys Messrs. G. A. A. Davies and Son, of CrickllOwell. Counsel for defendent—-Mr Chilton, Q. C., Mr. Grove and Mr. Bevau. Attortiey-.Nir. Cook, of Neatli.

SWANSEA SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Saturday morning in- telligence was received at Lloyds' of the total loss of the vessel Hope, of Portegnon, Richmond, master, on the Mumble Rocks, off Swansea. The vessel was first observed on the rocks about seven o'clock in the morning, when signals of-distress, by firing guns, were made by the crew, and the life-boats of the district were immediately launched for the purpose of endeavouring to give assistance. They approached the wreck closely enough to observe that the after-deck was crowded with human beings, but tiie state of the weather and the heaviness of the sea on at tne time, rendered their efforts to save the lives of those on board unavailing. The vessel went to pieces soon after striking, and it is supposed more than 40 individuals went down within her. ACCIDENT.—David Jenkins, the head porter at the Swansea staliJl1 of the South Wales Railway, met with a severe accident on the evening of Wednesday week.

FIRB IN COI-LCGE-STREET,—Some consternation was created,' on the evening of Thursday last, among the Inhabitants oi Gower-slreet, College-street, Goat-street, the lower portion of High-street, and the adjoining streets, by the outbreak of a tire in the grocery and provision shop of MT. Courts, in College- street. The tire was first discovered at about eleven o'clock at night, when the riatries were observed bursting forth from the shop window. It has not been-aicert iiiied how the fire occurred, but it obviously originated either in the cellar or beneath the stairs, rather in the rear of the premises. The police, together with a considerable number of the inhabitants, were promptly in attendanee., Tiie former brought to the scene the two fire- engines frour the police-station. There being in this town no regularly organised lire-brigade, considerable confusion ensued, as might be expected, and some time elapsed before the engines were brought to bear effectually upon the flame?, which had by this time obtained a most destructive ascendancy. The supply of water f: oiii the Water Company's mains (supplied gratuitously) was ample. The flames, finned by the current of air through the staircase, qu;ck!y reached the roof of the house, bursting most turiouily through the tiles. The ravages of the devastating element were, however, greatly counteracted by the plentiful supply of water which was poured by the two engines upon the burning mass. The tire was got under in about an hour and a half, hue not until-the house had been completely gutted, A large quantity of the stock, consisting principally of bacon, cheese, tea. coffee, Sec., was destroyed or damaged by the com- bined effects of lire and water; but we are glad to state that through the efforts of the inhabitants and the police, all of whom exerted themselves with praiseworthy activity, the greater portion of the stock, as well as nearly the whole of the household furniture, was saved. In a case were so many persons exerted themselves to the utmost, it would be iuvidious to particularise names. We understand that the loss caused by the lire exceeds the sum ( £ 300) fur which the stock and furniture had been in- sured in the Star on-ice. Y:l'Al,'YFERA.FATA'f, ACCIDEXT.
