THE TIRE AT NIIRAMICHL c or w of a letter from the master of the ship Canada, 111. (;. Smith, owner, to his mother at N , )rtli Shields: _ " Milumicni3Ocrosta 9, 1825. 4 , Dra a 310-tura—lt grieves me much to inform yen of the total &woe:ion of the ship Canada, which took place on the 7:h, about rifle o'clock at sight, and burnt down to the water's edge. This is o r way it happened : the woods had been on fire for some days; this 1 . . ‘ 1 ' it came a gale. when the fire on shore increased , and burned Writ house but five for ten miles ; the fire came off in whole showers ,i,„h l r. We took hold on the main topmast rigging; myself ~,d nor man got up aloft, but the fire increased so fast with the File, that we could by no means get it extinguished. I stopped till r: burned part of the hair off my head, and scorched my foot ; it hi.ld of the mainsail. and from chat to the deck ; she was all in &nu; in a short time. There are seven ships of us altogether 4.1 h tic,troyed. It is distressing to see the poor people sitting au ELL. .Lore, having nothing to eat, nor know not where to lay ther head% My two mates, carpenter, and myself, have nut a Kt ond shirt to our hanks--everything is burnt. One day more p ad !Lre loaded the ship.-1 out's, &c. " JOHN REDPATIL" Ti:e flillowing account of the dreadful fire at Mira inicj was received yesterday in the City : " lltcaxutrt, OCT. 17; 1825. DAR FATHER—I have already written a few r hoes to L—, by the first conveyance, after the fate ye y dreadful event, to prevent you from remaining isi a J ate of suspense, with regard to our safety in this i . stet r:1 Mtramichi. But, although ten days have elapsed ,I;.a the fire, we are not prepared to give a cit cum ,•antial account of its ravages. I am persuaded (and, npi-ion is the preVailing one) that never since the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has the world wit re, scene so ter' ific and appalling ; for only a coun try such as this (the face of which is one interminable forest) could produce a cunflagtat:on so great and so awful. The weather, for two drys before the fire, had been so unseasonably and iotensely hut, that all persons vete convinced that some great fire was raging to the No th west of Nliramichi ; and at sun-set on Friday, I obi-rve‘i a dense cloud coveting half the heavens, in t!ia direction, but it did not give me any alarm; for, although convinces t' at it te as smoke, I was equally sore it was then at a distance of '2O or 30 miles ; but sc.ticely ni . gla drawn her curtain over us, than a low nrnthli a sound cos heard in the woods on the opposite s l u ve,wiiich,as night ad vanced, continued to increase,and at 17.5 , resembled or e l..ng level berating peal of thainder. But, al linusli this was heard along am extent of forty the flay miles, yet no fire was seen, and few persons, i k iiere, were under the slightest apprehensions of the danger that was approaching them. This sound con tinuer, urthotit cessation, from six till nine o'clt ck, about whi h time the wind blew fresh from the north 'rest; and my alarm was first excited by seeing some large sparks tailing in the street, .which had blown vas's the Liver (neatly twice the width of the Thames). Mis shower i f fire increasing, the alarni became gene and the file-buckets were out, and every prepaia ton made to extinguish a fire, if it should occur. But :few minutes mote were sufficient to convince us that human precaution was not likely to afford us much He; fur it literally rained fire, and the a ind suddenly ;cuing more to the noithward, blew at once a perfect tonicaise ; and brought over such volumes of smoke cinder , , that it was quite impossible to see your own hand! Never did 1 witness such a chaotic darkness. At this time, except the masses of fire, which fell close twos feet, nothing was visible. The smoke was so great o that respiration became difficult, and I frequently *sight that suffocation was inevitable: but language is wo feeble to describe the horrors of that period.— Perhaps the crater of a volcano,during an eruption, may bole best comparison, but to this must be added, the hnetrending shrieks of tire women and children, (and 11141 1 men too) who leaving their houses, were .vainly attemptii.g to fly from the awful scene around them. .111 tlas time a lit c was raging in the rear of Chatham, which had been caused by the sparks, and burning many }muses around, threatened destruction to the 'thole village, and it is perfectly miraculous that any thing escaped its fury. But I have only been describing 1%1141 witnessed in Chatham, which proved nothing in aompatison to the desolation on the opposite shores, the tire 11 ad burst (at the same time) upon all the Settlements with such irresistible impetuosity, that it became diffi sok lor the pr ople to save their lives. On one side, a river agitated by a tempest, and awfully dark; on the abet, the flames sweeping at a blast a whole town. All Mho coul.l get into boats or canoes did so, and mostly sithout clothing ; others trusted themselves to rafts, vhrch soon broke up, and left the wretched passenger persh by drowning. Captain Duncan crossed on est stick of timber; but what is still more surpris ing, and well calculated to silence all who oppose the belief in a ruling PROVIDENCE, is• this :—A man and woman (one of the Lohana) got on a raft which 'Ass broke up, and the man having leached the log Oil which his companion hung, desired her to hold fast by him ; he was, hots ever, washed off, and she landed in safety on this side. How many were drowned aone can tell. The very cattle committed themselves to the river, and two came aslitue at our wharf, where they were taken care of the next morning, but far more 14 1 e downed. Our ship yard was nit fire in six places, Lte was foitunately put out, as was alto the case with isle, Thompson's Church.. It is impossible to tell how many lives ate lost, but I fear little less than two bun ored. 'nee ships were burned to the water's edge, and many others took fire. We are quite inundated kith tie sufferers, who, driven from home, and desti t•tz' if food and raiment, are dependent upon those "Lo base been pt eser ved from the calamity. We made subscription as soon as the confusion had subsided, and fond and clothing are now distributed every day to all who are in want; and three of the Committee attend all day for that purpose. The.soup is made in a coppe r ta, on a blacksmith's forge. The same ar -311, merits are al o made for the suffering parts of the I'vri* . • r L—'s information, I will name the houses Ilat have been but nt ou this side, as far as I hear.— i kre', at the Chu rc h, w i t h one man in it; the little louse slit te Corcoran lived, at the Ship-yard ; Wal -I,4ce's (above), and three opposite to his ; Osborn's, at the Ferry-road; Bulman's and young Brawn's, . at the same place. But on the Newcastle side it will be easier to name those that have escaped. From Oak Point, ' I Pto Bigg's house, at Gretna Green, everything is At Gretna Green three houses have escaped ; and what is singular, Gilman, Rankin, and Co.'s house, although the rest of the premises ate all destroyed. At ‘rwcastle, Abbott's Store and Bara are safe, as about a dozen others. Dr. Petrie's new Hospital is destroyed, And he likely to leave the place. From Mckenzie, in Liu' South-west, up to Boyce's, with some exception, iver)thing almost is gone.

DE DEA UVOIR V. RHODES. The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed the judgment upon which he had entered on Saturday, and pronounced his opinion, that upon the statement of facts as contained in the pleadings, I e could not invalidate the lease in question. At the same time he gave the parties to understand that his conviction was, that the real facts, as they h id been represented in the course of the argu ment, to far differed from the statement of them in the pleadings, that he would not object to the motion for a rehearing, with leave to file fresh affidavits, or, if the parties preferred, they might take an issue at law to try the question. His own inclination was not favour• able to the common law trial of it, because be had found by experience that questions of this nature, which comprised the consideration of fraud in obtaining the deed, were seldom or ever tried in a satisfactory manner before a Jury. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMita IS. • • WEN? V. FOREMAN. This was an application from John Went, a private soldier, who had been servant to the late Major Lawson, against the executors, for the payment of a legacy of 5001. bequeathed to bins by his master. It was under stood that the executors did not oppose the payment of the legacy, but they were desiroui of having the opinion of the Court on the suiject, as a doubt had arisen, whether the terms of the will did not restrict the bequest to the use of the plaintiff's children after his decease. The Vica-Cuaisciu.coa, on looking over the papers, decided that the plaintiff was entitled to a life use of the interest in this fund. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 14. • ROBINSON V. LE MERCIER. This was a bill filed by the plaintiff against the de fendant, for the purpose of obliging him to account for certain sums of money alleged to be due from him to the plaintiff. It appeared from the statement of Mr. JRRVIS .who was for the plaintiff, that she w a s a L a dy who is, a respectable boarding-school at 'furnham-green. The defendant was employed as dancing-master at her establishment, and had continued to attend from the year 1814 down to the year 1819. In consequence of certain embarrassments, the plaintiff was not able to. pay the defendant regularly for his attendance, and a number ofaccommodati In bills passed between them, for a greater amount than was due. Both parties agreed to contribute a stipulated sum towards taking up the bills, but certain differences atising between them, the present bill was filed, in order to obtain an account. The defendant in his answer, alleged that the matter in dispute had been settled for a consider- , able period, by the verdict given in his favour in an action brought against him by the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel, however, did not, by a means, consider this as an answer to the present application. Mr. PARKER, on the part of the defendant, submitted , that all accounts between the parties had been already settled, and that the whole matter was decided by the result of the action. The verdict rag that occasion was for .501. in addition to the amount of the bills ; and this he hoped would be quite sufficient to satisfy his L-rdship that there could be no legitimate grounds for this bill. - Mr. JERVIS, in reply, submitted that; as each .Party had paid a share in taking up the bills when due, a disputed account might very natura4 be supposed to arise between them. The Loan Cum , Baiou—A Court of Equity never will inter fere, except in those cases where the complication of accounts prevents a definitive claim in a Court of Law. Now, in this case, it is merely a difference between a school-mi s tr ess andi S dancing master, and I cannot conceive any such complicated accounts as can render an examination before the Master necessary. The bill must therefore be discharged with costs. COURT OF DELEGATES, Nov. I S. BRISCOE V. BRISCOE. A munition having been granted in this suit, against the defendant, Sir Walter Briscoe for contempt of Court, in having refuted to pay costs, his Counsel (Dr. PHILLHrona) applied to have a petition heard, in which Sir Walttr stated the suit to have been vexatious, and the costs enormous. This application was opposed by Dr. JENNER. Whilst the Court were engaged in deliberation upon the application made by Dr. PHILLISIORE, Sir W. Bris coe, addressed Dr. JENNER (the Proctor for the opposite party) and said, 46 it was a sneaking proceeding, and Jenncr is a scoundrel for getting the munition in private as he did." In a few minutes the Court resumed, and Dr. STO. DART delivered the judgment. He said that the appli cation of Sir Walter Briscoe wbuld produce both expense and delay ; that it did not appear to the Court that he bad any substantial grounds for desiring that delay, but ,nevertheless, the Court was unwilling to debar him from taking the course he desired, but he must under. stand that he did so at the peril of heavy costs. Dr. jENNER now applied to the Court to learn whether it was in possession of the opprobrious language used in open Court,,whilst the Judges were engaged in consultation ? . • Dr. Summar—Knowing nothing• of the language alluded to, we have only to declare our decided sense of its impropriety. Dr. PkIILLI34OIII—My Lords, the language used by my client was certainly very improper, but I trust you will consider his irri. tated feelings, having been involved for years in an annoying suit. Dr. SroDART—It is impossible for the Court to find language to express its disapprobation of such conduct, and the Court expects that Sir Walter Minor will instantly retract his words. Sir W. Briscoe—lf I used those words before the Court, I was wrong. I retract them as uttered in the presence of the Court, but would not in private. Dr. Lie— Is the Proctor satisfied? Dr. Jonas—My lords, I shall be satisfied with whatever the Court thinks fitting ; but I think I have a right to an unqualified' retraction of the language applied to me. Sir W. Briscoe-1 shall retract it, as having used it in open Court. Dr. LUSHINGTON—My Lords, lam concerned in this suit fur Sir W. Briscoe. 1 was in Court, and beard the expressions corn pl.ined of; they were most disgraceful, so very disgraceful that if they be not retracted I shall give up the papers anCtorief I hold. Nu W. Briscoe having consulted with his Counsel, after much hesitation, and with apparent reluctance said—" I am sorry for using the language I have done before the Court." Thie angry chpcussion was here terminated by the announcement that the Court had adjourned. • , Wednesday, the 2' instant, the &mato% ,A:cailethitus bf the University and King'.

IFriday last, aproCtor or . snh•proctor, with Eel vantc, hirses, and carts, of the Duiie of Athol, and of the Bishop, went into the parish of Kirk Christ Ruslien •collect the tithes of potatoes; they had suc• ceeded in taking away doting the day, and without obstruction, a quantity of potatoes. Near the close ni the day, a number of men of the lab- , uring 'classes' as sembled, and having overturned the cats, committed actS of personal violence on the persons ei.gv.,ed in col lecting.the s,id tithes. and also broke the windows of a house to which the proctors, &c. had for'safety retired. They also vinlehtly assaulted two individuals who had attempted•4o'iaterpose, and threatened the persons and. properties of others. Previous to the overturning Of the carts, &c. it has been asserted that irritating words used by the collectors hastened, if not occasioned, the violence which ensued. Saturt!ay morning, the High Bailiff of Ca:tletown, by direction, as is understood, of his Honour the Lieu. tenant-Governor, repaired to the parish, and having taken examinations on oath, issued warrants, and toot into custody, wi:lt the assistance of the civil officers, two of ti;e persons concerned in the vi dence done to. the persons and properties of indiViduals, and commit teal them to gaol in Castle Ruben. On Monday, con stables were sent to execute warrants against the other °fie:lee:s, but the constables were driven horn the parish. The Lieutenant-Governor having, as is understood, expressed his determination to c 'try into effect th.e war rants issued by the High Bailiff—E. Gawne, Esq. Cap tain of the Parish, supposed that his authority and influence in the parish, aided by the High &jiff, would enable them to secure the offenders. The exer tions, however, of these Gentlemen proved unsuccess ful ; they apprehended two men, one of whom was only committed to gaol, the other being rescue:{. During this period, no siolence was offered to the Captain of the Parish nor to the High Bailiff, nor to the persons nor properties of any other individuals, saving some not vtry gentle squeezes by a few of the fair sex on Monday to some of the constables, and also excepting some acts of violence which occurred on the Wednes day, under the following circumstances : Mr. *Crone dispatched some horses, carts, Ste. under the command of a person of the name of Cobb, to persist in collecting the potatoes, and requesting the High Bailiff to order constables to accompany the party on this etribiosy, who good•naturedly, perhaps incautiously, was prevailed on to allow some of the constables to go. Tim people, in great bodies, assem bled to guard the potatoes, saying if they were to die, they might as well be killed outright as be starved to death for want of their food, the means by which they lived—the potatoes. An altercation tool place between tre partin, and this Cobb produced a pistol, and poitt ing it to some of the patty, snapped it ; on which the pistol was wrested from his hand, and the poor man was co6bed in good earnest. The High Bailiff having reported to his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor the difficulty of executing the warrants without military aid, his Honour promptly ordered the troops under the command of Capt. Dissect, in Douglas, to repair to Castletown, and join the de tachment under the command of Lientr nant Burns in that quarter, who, at an early hour on Thursday morn ing, accompanied by the High Bailiff and several . constables, proceeded to the parish of Rtnhen, to execute the warrants so issued by , the High Bailiff, and to ap prehend the offenders and lodge them in gaol. After a diligent search, and without obstruction offered by the parishioners, the party were not successful in finding the offenders, and they returned quietly, without any serious disturbance having taken place, the par ishioners remaining still in considerable bodies assembled. Oa this day it happened that the Council was assem bled for the purpose of granting banking licenses, and it having been understood that thee Bi , hop, who was of course in attendance as a Member of the Coun cil, would not be adverse to giving due consideration to such representations as the parishioners might be in. dined to .make, the parishioners did make a communi cation in writing to the Bishop, but he had left Cas tletown before the paper reached, and it was forwarded to him in Douglas. The substance of it was an entreaty to forbear the exaction of the potatoe tithe, and offering to repair the injuries sustained by individuals in conse quence of the unjustifiable conduct of some of the en raged parishioners. The people, anxious to ascertain the result of their communication, not having received any answer on Thursday, as they expected, still remaining assembled in large bodies, on Friday came to Castletown, about eleven o'clock, to meet the Bishop, and occupied a considerable part of the Parade. From the nUMbers so assembled, his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor gave such directions and com mands to the peace officers and military as might best guard against any annoyance to the peaceable inhabit ants, and to disperse the assembled crowd if necessary. In this position of affairs, his Honour the Lieutenant Governor approached the people, and after a strong remonstrance and caution, demanded to know the cause of their assembling ? The reply was, they wanted an answer from the Bishop. The result was, a deputatiou from the people of six individuals from among them, which was received by' the Bishop in the Chancery Court Room, in Castle Rushen. when his Lordship delivered a paper expreisive of his sentiments to the deputation, which was afterwards read by the Captain of the Parish on the Parade; the substance of which was (as could be collected from a hasty hearing of it read, and not having seen the document), that h s Lord ship, considering the representations by them made, would not for the present insist on the payment of their potatre tithes. Sun Office, Four o'Clock, is. The Military have just received orders to march to Bishop's Court, and a Deputation of Farmers are reported to have waited on Mr. M'Crone concerning the state of the public mind. We have not time to say more—but we sincerely hope that peace will be permanently restored. We have this moment, ongoing to press, received . Patriclues'' letter, announcing that last night the Proctor of Kirk Patrick's haggard and a house, containing tithe potatoes, have been burned, as also a building of the Rev. Mr. Coulees, containing the same. This shameful example of violence and insubordination, we trust will not be followed by other parishes. The perpetrators are the greatest enemies to their own cause, and afford the organ a the party a plausible pretext for defaming them. They will, no doubt, identify these violent proceedings with the people's causes of cont. plaint in the mode adopted in collecting the green crops, for the pllrpwe of exciting the odium of disaffTetion in aU those who legally resist the arbitrary mandates of the I'ructors. We, however rely with perfect conbdence on the Lieutenant Governor, who will, no doubt, punish the offenders, and restore peace and good order.— fhe best remedy to prevent .Millar expressions of violence, would sae a law to render every parish liable to the expenses so incurred. This would render it the interest of every inhabitant to put dow.. -all acts et violence ; and we hope that it will meet the artentio u the house of Keys. EXECUTION OF SAMUEL CROOK. --~-- This morning the awful sentence of death was car ried into execiit . on, in the Old Bailey, upon Samsael Crook, aged '2l, for stealing in a dwelling-house. The crowd assembled was by no means grett, and only those close to the scaffold could see the wretched cul prit and fatal ceremony, owing to the density of the fog. The circa instances of the crime for which the wretched man fo' (cited his life, are by no means peculiar, having unfortunately been developed latterly in numerous cases, namely, the disposition prone in servants to a 'mit rob bers into their employers' houses, and assist in the work of plunder. Crook had filled a -confidential situaticat in the house of Messrs. Waverlow and Co. silk manu facturers, of Spital6elds, and wail induced to assist in plundering his employers ; and, accordingly, the plan, having been 'concerted, was not very diCult of execu tion ; the only obsti - cle apparent was a large and fall). ful watch-dog, which,, the night rev'ons to the bur glary, the prisoner was observed to carry away from the preinise and return without it. The robbery, which was very extensive, was soon discovered, and shortly af!.e; the' conduct of the unhappy prisoner became so suspicious, th tt lie was given i n to custody, and ir. a Very brieeperiod, a chain of evidence was established which led to the conviction of him and one otitis party. The wretched young man, from his previous g Ind character, and other circumstances, did not anticipate any such fatal results as have taken place from his con viction, and wfon the death-warrant for his execution arrived, it gave him an unexpected shock, and fie bit• terly complained that he was, as he said, selected, as the youngest offender, from so many practised ct i mina's for an example. He thought, as it was his fist offence, he was e ai led to a commutation of punishment, but that offence was too flagrant and enormous fur him to skeet mercy at the hands of an earthly tribunal. Crook, hou ever, with the assistance of th. Rev. Mr. C tto 1, the Rev. Mr. Collier, late Recoir of Hamble. don, Rutlandshire, the Rev. Mr. I-aac an independent preacher, and M r . B a k er , b etoo k himself to devout con siderations, and became contrite, resigned, and penitent. He took his last f 'lessen of his father, mother, four sisters, and two young brott.ers on Monday, and that trying scene can be very easily imagined. His family ate respectable. His parting with his broth-r, on Tues day, was very distressing. About eight o'clock this morning, Mr. Sheriff Kelly and the Under Sheriffs, attended in the jail, and shortly after the unhappy man was introduced, supported by Mr. Isaac and Mr. Baker. He was so weak as scarcely to be enabled to walk; he seemed completely abstracted, and lequently groaned heavily. Being pinioned, an orange was placed to his mouth, and seemed to relieve him ; he was then led to the vestibule of the prison, where the procession halted; the Rev. Mr. Isaac, who was most assiduous in attending the unhappy man, and pointing nut in eloquent terms the sublime promises of the Goipel to penitent sinners, through the intercession of CIIRIST, here burst into tears, and embracing him, desired him. to be of good heart, and to place his hopes on the great truths which had been explained to him. The unfortunate man sank i to the arms of two of the Sheriffs' officers, and was supported unto the scaffold. The fresh air revived him, and he moved his quivering I.ps in prayer, and stood firmly up; turning towards he Reverend Divine, he said, " GOD bless you, oh, pray fur me!" and turning towards the crowd, said, in a very feeble tone, " this comes of bad company." He then continued to say, " Oh, ALMIGHTY Goa, re:eive my poor soul 1' lir a minute or two, when he ceased, and became motionless. Mr. Baker being at the time holding his arms, it was supposed that the earthly struggle was over, or that he had become insensible. The drop, how ever, soon fill, and he appeared not to struvle, as io an instant, upon the cord obtaining its full tension, he hung suspended w ithout moving. After hanging an.hOur, Ins body was given to hii friends. A French sloop, having on board eight men, fi e English and three French, and 337 kegs of spirit', was captured on Sunday night, by the coast guard boat stationed at Mevagissey, and taken into Fowey it day. STEADS BOAT ACCIDENT.—AS one of the steam-boats which ply between Pauillac and Bourdeaux was arriving at the ft rarer place, in a very thick fog (which is com mon at this time of the year to the river Oaronne), she ran down two boats, which contained eight:f ersons each; they were all lost before assistance could be brought. The unfortunate people in the boats only saw 'the steam-vessel arrive when they were within a few yards of her, and, as the current of the river is very strong, they could not get out of the way time enough to save themselves.- This catastrophe, happened on ti e 23d of last month. We understand that steam boats are not now allowed to ply during the fogs. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY complained to the Venetian Ambassador that his Republic , had sent hid) ' a Venetian who had misconducted himself during'his stay. St Your" Highness must not be surprised at that,* sa'd the Ambassador ; "I assure you we have but too many fools at Venie 4" "We have plenty of fouh,at Florence, also," replied the Duke; "but we don't send them abroad to manage affairs." Mr.Cua RAN, cross-examining a horse-jockey's servant asked his master's age? " I never put my hand in his mouth to try," answered the fellow. The laugh was against CURRAN, till he wittily retorted, " You di d perfectly right, friend, for your mastett is said to be a very great bite." One of those idlers who live by their wits upon the simplicity of the farniers who frequent Smithfield, went to an inn, where he saw a farmer with a tankard of mulled wine. He entered into conversation with him, boasted of the many extraordinary things he could do, and among others declared he could drink exactly a wine glass full out of any tankard. The farrna. expressed some doubts . ; when to prove it, the fellow said, " I do not like tobet,much, but I will lay you a penny Ido it." The Wager was accepted. The fellow swallowed the whole contents of the tankard, then coolly said to his dupe, " I own, Sir, 1 have lost the wager, here is my penny." Th. Melia; Mos;bray horse, Forrester, lost his match of two miles for 500 sovereigns on Saturday, on t he flat approaching Not tingham. The task was to trot the two miles in three misses and four seconds, but the time was out when the horse was fifty yards frombome. CORN EXCHANGE, MARE-LANE, Nov. 16.
