that it was in great part covered by iosur-
ence. Two berme were burned to death
in the .table, and another seriously burnt
before being got out. The flames spread
too fast to prevent therm accidents. The
honest had only been taken a few minute*
before, from the stage that had arrived from
Hamilton. The accident, from which so
much loss bat arisen, is attributed to the
carelessness of some person, lighting his
pipe with a match, or smoking in the stable
—a practice that cameo' be too generally
condemned, or too severe:y poached, by
Municipal regulations. It is well worthy
the consideration of local conncillors,
throughout Upper Canada. We bate
scarcely ever witnessed a more striking in-
stance, of the great ureic. to be rendered,
by eves a small engine, properly eppl:ed,
than in the prevention of fire spreading in
Caledonia on this occasion : and it is evi-
dent, had there bee. a proper supply of
water and suitable engines, tiw.ously at
hand, that Mead's Hotel on the one side,
and Campbell's Tallor's Shop on the other
side might have been easily saved. Anoth-
er circumstance is worthy of being mention-
ed, that the Shoe Shop. close by Campbell's
house, would certainly have gone with the
others but for its having been roughcast,
or plastered with lime, all round the outer
frame work. Had the bare wooden boards
been exposed, they would soon have taken
fire, from the proximity of the bone to the
burning one adjoining. The cost of rough -
cut buildings is not more in general than
that of ordinary framed and boarded
buildings ; and in the erection of houses in
villages, where bricks cannot be either pro-
cured, or the expense of -them afforded, it
will always be worth while to adopt the
roughcast wall, if at all pos.ible. 1t gives
beauty,-darabiliy, and security to the buil-
ding, with very little, if any, increase of
coat. Ln some localities, indeed where
lime is plentiful, the roughcasting must be
*beeper than the clapboarding.—Colonist.

PUBLIC EXPENSES FOR 1850.
According to the Hon. Inspector Gene -
rats "estimate of certain expenses of the
civil Government of the Proviso. of Canada,
for the year 1860, for which a apply is re-
quired,' the total sum requisite for the pre-
sent year's expenditure, is, exclusive of the
supplementary estimate, £811,994 0s 10d.
As some may feel anxious to learn bow so
large a sum is disposed of, we take the
liberty to present our readers with a few of
the items of exisenditure. None can doubt
the utibipof the Militia 8ta8, which costs
the country in dollars $8,684; god who can
say that the annual services of the Legisla-
tive Council are not worth $64,0801 The
expenses of the Legislative Assembly ere
$179,000. Pensions to the amount of
$2,132 aro paid to Officers of the late Leg-
islative bodies of Upper and Lower Canada.
To hospital., kc., there is an allowance of
$68,000. The contingent expenses of the
administration of justice amount to *148,-
771 iocludin an allowance of *16,000 to
four new Juges In Lower Canada. in the
Miscellaneous charges amounting to $I67,-
894, we find the largest to be *14,000 for
printing laws, lac.; $27,120 u expenses of
Montreal Police force; *88,083 the cost
consequent upon the removal of the seat of
government to Toronto; a retiring pension
01 $1,200 per annum to R. A. Tucker, Esq.,
Tate Provincial Registrar; expenses of In-
spector General to England to negociate a
loan, $1,600; ditto of other miniow on
',ebbe service $1,644; expensn of Police
Magistrates in Quebec and Montreal
$1,400. The salaries to officers of the
Court of Common Pl... $17,140. and to
those of the Court of Chancery $I3,100.—
These are but trifling portions of the ag-
gregate expenditure, but some of them aro
charges which may sot be unworthy of at-
tention. The exposing of the Militia Staff,
though email, might we think, be wade less,
as twilit those of the Legislative Council
without causing any carious diminution of
their usefiilneee. We are ectirely opposed
to the pensioning system, but would u,ur-
edly be unwilling to deprive those who are
already in receipt of pensions of the some
ggnarn,tied to them. To the support of
Hospitals and otbar benevolent institutions
the amount tented le not toe great, sod
lhs eestingeet expenses of the admlel.tra-
tion of Justice eaonot be materially loose -
ed sail men will bare bunion wee 'boogie
