The Governor of the Bank of England has ordered all

the omni- buses to be removed from their stand on the south and east fronts, where they have been really a " nuisance," in consequence of their almost blocking up the entrances to the Bank.

Shortly after the close of the performances at Braham's Theatre on Tuesday night, when the lights came to be put out in the interior, it caused such an extra pressure of gas upon the illumination under the portico, that the jets shot up to a great height, and the centre part of the illumination forming the crown having been placed too close under the roof of the portico, the flames caught the projecting cornice. For- tunately two firemen belonging to the London Establishment, who with an engine had as a matter of temporary precaution been sent down to the theatre, were present, and soon extinguished the fire.
