" Last night, just as I had turned the corner of John Watson's house, I was alarmed by the cry of fire. It proceeded from Roderick Tullogh's store and rum shop adjoining, where, in the gutter between both houses, some diabolical incendiary had tossed a ball of combustible matter, in the centre of which was a lighted mass of rotten wood ; the smell alarm ed the neighbours, and it was thrown off the house before it had communicated to the shingles. Had it been an hour or two later, being only just nine o'clock or the shingles not damp from the late rains, pro bably that quarter of the town would have been de stroyed, the situation being a central one. I know not what to think of these repeated attempts." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. " It is painful to say, this town was attempted to be set on fire again last night, the most daring and villainous plan that can be imagined. The fire was soon extinguished, but we are fearful we have some very ill-disposed persons amongst us." “ MONTEGO-BAY, MAY as. " On Monday night last, a li_tle past nine o'clock, the inhabitants of this town were alarmed by a cry of fire. Having so recently experienced that dreadful calamity, a number of persons were in a few minutes on the spot, when it was discovered that a piece of lighted wood, together with some old canvas dipped in oil or grease, had been thrown on the top of a building in St. James's-street. It had not yet set fire to the shingles, owing to their being damp from a heavy rain which fell the preceding day, and the re mainder of the town was fortunately preserved. " A reward of 4500 is offered for the discovery of the incendiary or incendiaries, which we sincerely hope may have the effect of bringing some of the wretches concerned to condign punishment." KINGSTON, MAY 35. The American Government, notwithstanding the Non importation Act against Great Britain, permits American vessels from this and other Colonies, to take a return for their cargoes in rum, several vessels having proceeded to different ports at the north side for that purpose. Extract of a letter rrom Carthagena, dated the 4th instant, to a Gentleman in this city :—" A report is prevalent here, derived from Porto-Bello, that the British Government have proposed to garrison Pa nama, Chagre, and that place, with English troops. The English Officer who carried the propositions has, it is said, been very ill received at Panama. If the British attempt to send troops to any part of the Spa nish Main, it will make an unfavourable impression, for the same jealous disposition of the Spanish Ame ricans which was experienced at Buenos Ayres, is prevalent in every part of our territory." S ANN'S, MAY 7. The lake at the Rio-Ho has fallen near two feet I within the last six weeks, but it is not conceived to be from any subterraneous outlet, but merely from ex- ' halation, and the uncommonly dry weather. It be. gins in consequence to acquire a very offensive smell, and it is to be feared, should it continue to subside, that all that district will become a scene of pestilence from the effluvia produced from the immense quan tity of morass and other vegetable matter becoming putrid. It is asserted that a gentleman in the neighbour hood of the lake, found on its banks a nest of eggs, which, from their uncouth appearance, he took to be those of some strange water-fowl, and carried them 'home and placed them under a duck, when, in lout teen days, there carte forth a brood of sixteen young alligators, which immediately set off full speed to the lake, accompanied by their foster-mother, who at tends on its borders for them, as if they were of her own species. We regret to state, that although the pimento-pipes have thi own out a fine blossom, there is but little hope pf a good clop, from the prevalence of dry weather, which, Could it continue putch longer, will, it is feared, occasion a most considerable diminution of the Frocloction of that article, LONDON. i p ARL um ENT A R r F iggainica, of attacking 13423 and Übeda, I took measures lot • ----, '" - the defence of the last place, and formed in the square HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 5, of the city two columns ; one composed of 400 of the.
