Wednefday, t j th I Thorrday, --. 54th " It is reported," lays the Brillol Journal of Sam.. day," that a Gentleman of this City has received a letter from the Mediterranean, which Rates, that the garrifon of Gibraltar had fet fire to the town, in or der to exterminate the infection; and that its de. Ilrudion had occafioned the molt dreadful dillrefs to the inhabitants. We Rate the rumour without pledging ourfelves for its authenticity." Letters from the -Bland of St. Thomas's, to the 25th of November, Rate, that on the 22d of the fame month, one of the molt deßrudive fires took place there that has ever been experienced. It commenced in a (lore at King's-wharf, about nine o'clock, at which time the wind was exceedingly high, and the whole piemifes were loon dircovered in a blaze. The flames quickly communicated to 'the adjoining Bores, which being all built of wood, burnt in every diredion with the rapidity of a tar barrel, till every (tore in the place to the number of nine hundred, we re entirely conf irmed, and in the (port !pace of four hours.

I mar Major underwent a final examination on the charge of fwindling. The only trefh charge prefer. 'red againtt him was that of ordering a quantity of cart•harnefs of Mr. Dowtoo, a harncfi maker, Rating that he had recently taken a farm at Hendon. The profecutor, on inquiry, found that the prifoner had aCtually taken a farm, but before he had finiffied his order, he heard that be was in cuflody. The Ma. giftrate remarked. that it was dangerous far fetch a man to be at large, and he was accordingly fent on board the tender, to the fatisfaCtion of others who were prefent to enter charges again!! him. A dreadful fire was difcovered on Tuefday mor. ning laft, a little after five o'clock, in the premifes of Meas. Parry, Trufs, and Co. coachmakers, in Fore gate-hreet, Cheher, which raged with loch fury, that in the Ikon (pace of two hours it reduced the whole range of buildings to one heap of ru i ns . Fortunate ly the wind was favourable, otherwife the devouring element would have extended its ravages confitiera bly further. On the alarm being given, the drums beat to arms, and a number of officers and privates of the Chau Volunteers, as well as the regulars quartered there, attended, and were of great fervice in keeping a free garage for thofe who lent their af.

The defcription given to the Jury of the particular circurnßances attending the melancho. ly event exactly correfpond with that given in The STAR of yetterda. But, notwithtianding the gen teel appearance of the youth had induced every Ipec. tator to fuppofe that he was a perfon of rcfpeltable connections, it appeared that the father is a journey. man coach-harnefs maker in Compton-Rreet, Soho, and that the l:td was apprentice to 1i m. The verdict was, as molt have been expeLrted from the circum• fiances already related—Accidental Death. Before the time of Sir Mac Newton, various no• lions were entertained concerning colours. Plato faid colour was a flame ailing from bodies ; the In diansof America believed the fame, and when any perfon read a letter they believed it fpnke, and bid: fed the paper in proportion as they were moved by it.
