We have a number of fafhionable female chat-4)- teen, who daily dalh along the ftreets, fpreading terror and difmay as they pals. Such is literally the cafe ; for the principal ftreet of the town is fo ' Very narrow, that the rapid driving of a coach muft naturally alarm the pedeftrians ; particularly if two coaches meet, it is impoifible for them to pats without invading the footway; not unfre goody, oo kith an °cc:dim, very comic difputes arife which than give way, and the point, I Arum you, is fometimes contefted with as much pertina• city as, according to the report of Lady M.

We mentioned yenerday the dreadful calamity that hat befallen the qty of Liverpool, the influ ence of which will be more 'or lets felt by every commercial town in the kingdom, and which for cibly points out the neeeffity of adopting fome means for fecuring . buildings, and particularly thofe deftined to receive the valuable produaions of our Colonies and National Induary, which mull often be accumulated and kept till a market offers, or opportunities for 'clifperfing them. We hope this unexampled conflagration will have the ace to make fomething of this kind be ferioufly en tered upon, and that it is not yet to late to apply fuch ayreventative as we fuggeft to the ware houfes at the New Docks. We fubjoin fome farther particulars refpeaing the melancholy event LITHAPOOL I itPTEIIIIIII 16. On Tuefday laft this town was vilited by a ca lamity as fingrilarly awful in its appearance as it was difaflrous and deftruttive in its efftEts.—About ten o'clock in the evening fmoke was obferved to Mee from a room in the warehoufe belonging to THOMAS FRANCS, Efq. at Goree, whole (pact -Dos and lofty front has long attrated the admira tion of ftrangers, and which, if equalled, was not tumefied in magnitude by any fimilar flmanre in the kingdom. The alarm of fire was rapidly fpread through the- town, and an immenfe crowd were loon al ( embled, where the danger had been firft difcovered. For a time appearances teemed to )(laity a hope that the tremendous mifchief which had been announced and apprehended might be fubdued without much effort—but no fooner were the doors wad windows of the build ing forced, than the flames, which had been (mothered, burg out with horrid fury, extending their ravages in every clireilion, with equal rapt di!), and violence. In a few hours this itnmenfe pile, together with that large and commodious range of warehoufes, which was eredted in front, at the diftance of 16 yards, as well as that which extends from it, in aline, to Water-fireet, was a heap of ruins, and a great proportion of all that rich and various produce, with which every apart , ment of thefe buildings had been ftored and crowd ' l a, was confumed. The mildnefs of the evening, and the tide, accompanied with light and variable breezes, being fortunately at flood, gave an op portunity to remove the (hipping beyond the reach of the flames, and fo prevented the devallation which was fpreading on the !Bore, from being ag travated by a fcene of confufion and ruin, which the imagination even &udders to contemplate. iIiIIOTHER ACCOUNT, DATLD SEPT* Ile A tre asendous fire broke out on Tuefday night at this place, which contained the whole of the beautiful and extenfive warehoufes fronting Saint George's Dock, justly the pride of Liverpool's enterprifing inhabitants, and the admiration of all ftrangers.— It is not known how this dreadful calamity origi nated ; but about ten o'clock &lobe was obferved to iffue from the centre of Francis's Buildings ; the fire bell was Mandy rung, the drums beat to arms, the whole of the military turned out, and every exertion that chive attention could furnish was rendered. The remains of the Northumber land Fencibles were particularly aaive, command ed by their Adjutant. 66 Abaft one the flames bur& forth with tremen dous fury, and continued-raging and threatening deftruaion to all around till fix o'clock 'in the morning, when they were got fomewhat under.—. The fury with which the conflagration raged, its effeas will be& demonfirate, for all thole beautiful and extenflve buildings reaching from Water-lane to Brunfwiek-greet, with the correfpondingflore houtes called Francis, were, at fix o'clock i n the 'Deming, one prodigious heap of rains l I am juft returned (twelve o'clock) from vifiting the ruins, and cannot defcribe to you bow awfully grand they appear—the walls which bounded thefe pro digious buildings being from to to 14 narks high, Rand petfea but unfupported ; the front has given way, except Tome large (lone arches which formed its balls—thefe, as the buildings have fallen, are mutilated, and aprear above the heaps of the rub- Wit a perfea pianre. 66 George's Dock is 'one fcene of confufion— bales of cotton, puncheons of rum, of fugar, bags of corn, Sec. lying in promifcuous heaps; every face bears evident marks of forrow or of fympa. thy. The anal damage cannot be lets than n million of money. u The (hipping (for the dock was full clofe to the (pot), were, from its fortunately being florid tide, removed and preferved, but every attention was neceffary, fuch as *et fails placed before the rigging, Ike. It may be confidered a fortunate circumaance that the Areets of this populous town were laid with water-pipes, and the attention paid by the Proprictois of the Bootle. Springs to wards furnifhing a fufficient quantity of water, in a great meafure checked the progrefs of the flames. It is to be regretted the immenfe refeivoir cont. pleting by this Company was not-411;0*d, as it is calculated to'contain near 4000 tun); of water, at an height commanding the utmoft acclivities and buildings of the town. A NOTHIti AccouNT••••••• 4 4 A dreadful cataltrophe has taken place here, which has obfirueed all kind of bufinefs to-day. That noble pile, called Francis' Warehoufe, on Goree, of 13 ftories high, and feveril contiguous warehoufes , are, with all t heir contents of Weft India produce and grain completely deftroyed. They were full; antialof; has occurred to the town of a million of money in valve, about two-thirds of which amount is fup pofed to be infured. The accident was oecafioned by the falling of a fnuff of candle among fhavings in a porter vault. 44 The fire brae out at midnight, and raged un til noon this day." On the agth ult. a fire was difcovered in the out premifes of Mr. THOMAS MOHR'S, at Dean-Farm, sear Croydon, which raged with fuch fury, that in a (hart time a large quantity of wheat, hay, fawn' boon!, and a great number of valuable implements, were totally confumed. It fed to have been wilfully let on fire by who had been reaping for Kr. T • ••77.7". MORRIS, and whom he had difcharpci tor impro per condo& Three of theni,hasee been-ap prehended and committed to gaol. On Thurfday night a fitb broid out in the Rabies of Belmont Houfe,Vanxhall, which totally deftroyed them, together with the other offices.— By great exertions the fire was prevented from communicating to the dwelling-honfe. All the horfes were preferved except one, which was burnt to death. - Sunday night a fire happened at Mr. NEWELD'S, furgeon, of Chelmsford, occa fi oned by the fringe of the bed-curtains accidentally catching fire, which immediately hurtling into a flame, dearoyed the bed hangings, bedding, and part of the fur niture of the room ; and had it not been for timely affiliance, the confequences would, no doubt, have been dreadful, as the flames were rapidly communicating to the main beam. An infant was afleep in the bed, which was providentially removed. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCZ. MAltr THIS DATA—WIND N. W. ARRIIvtD. I Dublin, I Waterford O Hamburgh PORTSMOUTH, DUB.

Wilfiaar, for healing a filk pocket handker chief, the property of C. Holland • S. De Grave, for healing a tin box, and 4.5. 6d. the property of G. Sikes ; Jabs AU a. for healing four ounces of filver, the property of Martha Clarke. ' Charles Clarke, fon of the profecutor, hated, that having reafon to furpea the priforier, who was one of the workmen in his mother's manu faaory, he marked fome pieces of flyer ; his brother and himfelf watched him, and on Tuef day the aßth of March, fent for a conflable, who fearched him, and found feveral of the pieces of filver in his cuflody. The prifoner produced feveral witneffes to his charaCter ; but as the fad was proved, the Jury found him Guilty. Win. Hawes, for healing half an ounce of Myer, the property of the above Martha Clarke. Charles Clarke depofed, that this prifonet had been employed by his mother as an apprentice, to be approved. One morning, having gone into a privy which is common to all the perfons in the houfe, he obferved 2S. 6d. and tome halfpence on a ledge ; the halfpence might have 'been obferved by any perfon, but the es. 6d. were covered with dufl. On the other fide of the privy there were concealed fome bits of flyer, fuch as are ufed in their manufactory. After he had come out of the privy, he watched to fee who fhould go in next. The prifoner went. After he came out the wit nefs proceeded to examine the place again, and he miffed fome of the halfpence. He then fent for a conftable ' who fearched the prifoner, and found one bit of Myer s upon him fimilar to tilde in the privy. The conitable fwore, that he alto fearched the privy, where he found as.6d. and about a fltillings worth of penny pieces, and fome of the pieces of flyer mentioned above, which the prifoner cOnfef fed he had put there. William Clarke, another fon of the profecntrix, proved by particular marks, that the pieces of ver were of the kind which is ufed in their manes faftory. Mr. juhice LIBLANC obferved to the Joey, that the principal queftion for their confideration was, whether the prifoner Bole all the pieces of flyer or feveral of them at once, or only one at time ? This made a confiderable difference, for as the value of each piece did not exceed .tad. if the Jury were of the latter opinion the prifoner cauld only be convkted of petty larceny. The probability in his opinion was, that a workman in a manufactory where fuch pieces of flyer were ufed, would take them away bit by bit ; but the Jury would form their opinion on the evidence which had been given. The Jury found the prifoner guilty of healing one piece, but on account of his. age (only 13) recommended him to mercy. The Ptofecutrix begged the Court would thew, lenity to the prifoner. The Court fair', that the recommendation fhould be attended to. Mit Allah for healing at Saines, on the 7th of Mirch laft, a petticoat, value I as. the property of William Lewis, Efq. • It appeared ifi the courfe of the evidence, that te t ptofecutor, Mr. Lewis, removed, in March from North Badgely, in Hamp(hire, to Ham hte;cmith : a great part of his houfehold goods, '.thefts with wearing apparel, &c. were put into a travelling waggon, in order to be removed to his new place of refidence. Upon the road, hear Alton, the waggon was met by the prifoner, WA another man, who agreed with the waggoner for a ride to a certain diftance on the London rood: they accordingly got in, and went with the waggon as far as Staines ; they occafionally got out and walked, as fuited their convenience. They • quitted the waggon at Staines, and fhortly after it was difcovered that one of the chefts had been broken open, and a variety of things taken out, particularly a japanned cafe, which contained Mrs. Lewis's jewels; and other articles of very onfiderable value : among other things taken was a muflinet petticoat. Soon after, the prifoner was apprehended on fufpicion of committing the robbery ; but before his examinations by the Ma. giftrates were concluded, he found means to ef cape. A man of the name of Knight was taken up about the fame time on a fimilar fuficion, but he was difcbarged. On the 29th of July, it ap peared that the Prifoner was apprehended a fecond time, at his apartments in a Court neat Bilhopf gate•ftreet. One of the firft things obferved by the Officers on entering, was a piece of fine mut: linet, in ufe as a window-curtain. They imme diately took. paffeffion of it. The prifoner was fearched, and in a pocket-book found on him, was difcovered a duplicate, which was for a piece of muflinet, which it was Coon found had bees pawned by the prifoner's wife, and on comparing this piece, and that ufed as a window -curtain, they were found to have been originally one piece, ' and on being produced in Court, were defcribed by Mrs. Lewis to have been the whole, or the greater part of the petticoat which had been Nolen. The prifoner told a long (tory in his ddence, admitted that he had been in the waggon as far as Staines, but denied knowing any thing whatever of the robbery. lie Paid the piece of muilutet had
