Between twelve and one o'clock this morning, the, neighbourhood of St Nary-Axe was greatly alarmed by a fire being discovered at the back part of the pre snisei aIM 4 r.HALLZT, No. s 6, which soon spread, and toils its direction backwards, burning most furiously, into fit. Heien's4lace, Bithopsgate-street, where it terminated by burning the . antient building of hea ther-sellers'-Hall. Three houses in front of St. Mary- . Axe are down ; also part of the Cold-Baths are de stroyed. Little of the property is saved. We are happy to say no lives have been lost. Great praise is . ' due to the Police-Officers, particularly to Mr. l 3 the Marihall-nsan, who was very active ; and ,pret t .l vented the mob from plundering. The faVourite mule of Mr. 11 . s.u.rr was burnt. About two o clock this morning, another fire broke' out at Mr. Estn.'s Timber-yard, in the Old•thangi, - which burnt most furiously, and caught . to St. Gre gory!s Church, damasing the roof. Nine horses were unfortunately • burnt. Mr. Pact, the proprietor of the Timber-yard, lies in a dan'gerous state. We do not hear of any persons having lost their lives. OTHER ACCOUNTS. A dreadful fire broke out this morning, at about a quarter before one, at the house of Mr. UNIT, St. Mary Axe, which soon communicated to the houses of Mr. PIIOMPTON, Mr. Tavt.ott, carpenter, Mr. MIL cs, tea-dealer—the large and extensive house and school-rooms, belonging to the Ward of Cornhill— the well-kn Own Hot and Cold Baths, all situated in St. Mary Axe—backwards, the Hall of the Worship ful Company of Leather-Sellers, and two houses in St. Helen s-place, besides doing considerable daMage before it was extinguished. At two o'clock another fire brae out in the tim ber-yard of Mr. PAUL, in the Old 'Change, the back of the south side of St. Paul's, tie whole of which was consumed, together with the internal part of the Fing's Head Inn —two waggons, heavily laden with goods, and nine horses, fell a sacrifice to the flames. The dwelling-house of Mr. PAUL, in the front, is. totally consumed, together with the King's Head Tap. • The landlady of the Tap was with great dif ficulty saved. Property to an immense amount is destroyed. • , The following Placard has been issued from the Printing Office of Mr. WOOLER : " MASSACRE IN MANCHESTER BY TIIE YEOMANRY CA, VALRY AND THE MAGISTRATES! " A Public Meeting will be held at the Crown and Anchor.

" The Chair to be taken a: Twelve o'Clock, " T. J. Wooler, Printer; 76, Fleet-street." " It is more than a week since we were assured from Lancashire, that government suggested to the Magistracy, the propriety of letting the people meet,' provided their proceedings did not interrupt the pub lic tranquillity. This is a highly gratifying circum stance, and one upon the authenticity of which we are much disposed to rely : since it is, we are ready to acknowledge, consistent with the general temper and character of the leading Members of Administra- , tion. A less pleasing part of our intelligence is be-, hind ; for we are at the same time informed, that the local Magistrates ' determined that no meetings • whatever, as connected with the objects of the Re g formers, should be held; adding, that they would • take upon themselves all responsibility for the con- , sequences t So much for local wisdom, discretion, and liberality. We were not then without our fears. that the same spirit which had resolved, in opposition to the Government, to put down popular meetings, would, when it came to act against the people, resort to measures, as obnoxious to the Government as to, the Nation at large."— ELEGY. . . . BY A lIALF-PAYeFRICER. The Horse-Guards toll the knell of patting day, The bleak blast whistles thro' each 'cativo tree, 'I it'd Ceeknies homeward bend their weary way, And leave the Park to darkoess, and to me !

Relief turn'd out, and Grand Roundavisit paid, The yawning ranks to oaken couches Creep, While each, in sentry-box till morning laid, The peaceful guardsmen of St. Jamen sleep!

That scene where festive Pleasure holds her court, Where rank, and face official laid aside, Giv:, place to frolic flow, to mirthful sport, To sounding screw, and knife and fork well plied! Where oft the " thrice told tgle" by Homer blamed, Still sets the table in a general roar; Or. bastard wit by puny punster framed, Puts Gravity to flight, in wild uproar ! Where the stern Commandant's stale thread-bare joke, Daily both Majors of a grin beguiles, While the hciarse Adjutant, with lungs on cock, Lets off in horse-laugh when the Colonel smiles!

ASSIZES. SOMERSETSIIME--DRIDGEWATER, Amnia Vie IIAWKINS INUNKERTON. This was an action brougitt against the occupier of a turnpike-gate, by the person who succeeded him in the renting of the tolls, to recover the sum of Threepence ! ! which the Defendant had received for toll within a quarter of an hotir after the legal' expiration of his term. The facts were proved, and the Jury were reluctantly compelled to give their verdict for the plaintiff; but Mr. Justice Cur took occasion in strong terms to reprobate the conduct of the plaintiffs Attorney in bringing such an action; ;and it was evident that the costs were the motives which induced the AttOiney to bring it forward ; he would try to discountenance such proceedings, for as the Defendant had only been' guilty of entering and not of ejecting, he would' certify that the da mages was under Forty Shillings, and thereby de prive the Attorney of his expected profits.—The cause was undefended'. CROWN RIM-EXTENSIVE SORORRIES. Charles Ribbed, engraver of Bath, was indicted ,for counterfeiting, in the substance of the paper, by a most ingenious contrivance, the water-mark of the Bank of England notes. It :appeared, from a long course of evidence, that the prisoner had long car ried on his nefarious dealings to a great extent, for several worn-out platei were found in his house, as well as plates in use and plates in progress. The case was proved beyond the possibility of doubt, and the Prisoner offering no defence, was immediately found Guilty. There were four other indictments against the prisoner, for forging Notes upOn several Country Banks, particnlarly on the Devices Bank of Messrs. , Tyler and Co, The prisoner is a complete cripple, and was allowed to sit during the trial. He ap peered to have made up his mind to the faze which must await him. CROYDON, lIVOUST to. THE KING V. JOHN ROUPELL. This was an indictment against the defendant for a nuisance, in carrying on a' certain manufactory near the Old lialfpenny.liatch, in the parish of Lam beth, for the smelting of old lead refuse, to the injury of the inhabitants 9f the circumjacent neighbour hood. On the part of the prosecution, it appeared frOm the evidence of no less than twenty-ttree neises, that the fumes prodticed by the tha i nnfattorsr in question, were of a dense heavy natuse, discolour.: ing the linen hung out near it, and affecting all those who respired it, with head-ache, infiarnmations in the eyes, and a sensation similar to suhcation. • Dr. Davis and several other Men 'or skill , proved that there must be deleterioUs 'ingredients in tae fumes emitted from the factory; destructive to health. - On the part of the defence it was proved by five witnesses who lived iu the neighbourhood, that they felt no i4convenience from the factory in question ; and Mr. Accum, the ingenious chymist, declared it to be his opinion, after examining the profess pur sued on the defendant's premises, that no deleterious or poisonous effects could arise from the vapours that were emitted. Mr. Justice PARK put the case to the Jury, on the simple question, whether or not the public comfort had been disturbed ? leaving it to them to find the defendant guilty, if they were of that opinion. The Jury found the defendant—Guilty. The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morn ing. Another duel, similar to that in which the In dependent was concerned, has taken place between three of the Body Guards and three Gentlemen con nected with the paper called Lc Rcnomznee, in which M.
