The fire Commenced in the interior It is not known how • but it is helieved that some ladies who had 'been inside inspecting their property must have carelessly thrown down an ignited match Some large insurances were effected on some of.-the goods; but unfortunately every one saems to have felt so secure in the fire-proof building that ia many cases people were not insured at all, and in others for a mere trifle. Hundreds of private carriages perished in the flames. DEATH OF YOLTIGETJB. Pacing circles have been stirred to the depths of their sentimentalities by the demise of that wonderful horse, Voltigeur, which occurred at Aske, in Yorkshire, the seat of the Earl of Zetland a few days since. His remainb were interred on the lawn at Aske Hall, and the earl is going to erect a grand monument- to the memory of a horse, who,, aa a .three-year old, accom plished so many brilliant turf achievements. His death was occasioned by a kick from a mare, which" fractured his near hind thigh, and he had to be destroyed. Voltigeur was bred in 1847 by Mr R, Richardson, of Hart, in Yorkshire, and he won the Derby in 1850, beating a field of 24. He also won the St. leger of that" year, and the Doncaster Cap, beating Hying Dutchman. The Dutchman beat him _as a four-year old at York the following year, and he afterwards suffered another defeat on the'same course. He was sire of some splendid racers, and was a great pet of the late Lord Zetland, who scarcely ever missed a day without visiting this horse that had won hiWf such; turf honours. - - DEMAND FOR FLAX. There is a great demand for flax just now in the English market, and it seems to be generally believed that the Irish, as well as , European supplies will not be anything like ' ipto the necessary orders. If this be so, the New Zealand flax trade should feel some tailus this year, which I hope will be the case, for the phormium seems to have estab liiied a hard-won reputation at last. : DEATH OF DE. BINJOtY. Drßinney, the great Nonconformist divine, died on the on the 24th of last month. He lad for a long time been suffering from severe mess. He was in his 75th year, and had spent more than 40 years of his life in Lon don. He was a North-country man, being s native of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and from the earliest days of his ministration made his mark in the religious world. Both in America and in Australia he did much to disseminate his views. His visit to Austra lia was in 1857, and he then engaged in a correspondence with the Bishop of Adelaide concerning communion between churchmen and dissenters, which excited a good deal of attention at home and abroad. INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL MATCH. 4 I had the curiosity to go and see the great International Football Match, which came off at Kennington Oval a few days since, and, althongh the .weather was most dis mal and damp, there was a large crowd of spectators", including" many leaders^ The match was one of a series which commenced j& 1871, on which first occasion at Edinburgh tne Scotchman won by a goal and a try to »try. In 1872, at London, the Englishmen Were victorious by two goals," and a try to one goal. Last year at Edinburgh there was a drawn battle, and this year orjee more the Jtoglish were left masters of the field. The Bontherners wore white jerseys, with a rose and brown stockings, and the Scotcnmen blue f!T a thistle an<i scarlet stockings ; »ut the ground was sloppy, and, in about ten ™Mtes, the combatants were such a mass of Was to render all uniforms indistinguish- ? B«v 1 notice that there is very little kick mto what used to prevail in old days. »Ie great object seems to be to get hold of the , and keep it so long as possible. This ™Wts m an y amount of struggling, and'even |BBng, but the absence of kicking prevents aerious bruises and bone-breakings which tormerly to accompany these romps.
