Hay, Gall, and Co. printers, and Alessrs. Armstrong and Son, brass-founders,.l Niddry-stteet..lt began, seemingly, in the top stOty; and such was the violence of the flames, thikt notwith: standing the utmost exertions of the firemen, and' others, the whole premises, consisting ,of two three story houses, were involVed in one general .. 4oriflagra- tin, and in two hours reduced to a inereihellithe, font wall, which Was chiefly of brick and wood, .gtvie . way along with the floors, and almost the whole•stoek of goods and materials fell a prey to the flames.— About seven o'clock the fire 'communicated with a dwelling-house of two stories, attached to the-print ing-office on the north ; and before its violence could be stopped, part of the roof and the floors of this-build ing were also destroyed. The walls, however; being. of stone, offered more resistance to the flames than the two others, and by nine o'clock. the fire was so far got under as to relieve any fears of faither mischief, ithough the engines continued to play till a late bout in the forenoon. The inhabitant, had fortunately time to retire from the house, and to save great part of their furniture; but a chimney-sweep who was assisting at the tire was severely hurt by some part of the burning ma terials falling upon him, and was carried to the Royal Litirmary. There were five engines present, including two from Leith. Mr?. Sheriff Duff, several of the Ma gistrates, Captain RObison, with a strong body of po• iice, as well as Captain Ross, of the Leith police, and A' number of the high constables, were early on the spot to preserve order, and to encourage the exertions of those employed at the engines; and about nine o'clock parties of the 65th and 94th Regiments arrived from the Castle—the former of whom kept the streets clear, mid the latter assisted to work the engines. - Most of the sufferers were insured to a considerable amolint. 4r• - - DISTRESSING EVENT.—The violent hurricane from the north-east, which was experienced here on Thursday, severely felt on the Frith, where several fishing boats were i❑ imminent danger. One boat belonging to Buck haven, although within two miles of that harbour, was oblige.l to run up to Newhaven for - shelter. But we are sorry to add, the storm was productive of more serious and fatal consequences. Two fine young men, belonging to Newhaven, had gone down the Frith in tLcir boat on Monday, to wait for employment as pilots, .lace which period their ft lends had heard nothing of them tiil late on Friday evening, when they received the melancholy intelligence that their boat had been irked up at Crail in the course of the day, bottom up and with all sails set. The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers had not been found, Their names were John Carnie and Andrew Adamson ; and their loss has caused great lamentation in the little community in which they had lived, where their characters for sobriety and in- dustry were highly esteemed; but it will be More se-, veld), felt by their immediate relations, the former' having , left a widow and three children, while the latter, who was unmarried, had been long the sole support of an aged mother. These individuals are now left desti tute, and; if the hand of benevolence is not stretched out ' relieve them, must. speedily, in addition to the loss of Oil that they held dear, be involvedin poverty and want. GUARDIAN SOCI v. -- Yes terd ay a Meeting was held it 'the Egyptian Halt, in the,MantiOn House, of the friends and antnnoters of 'the Guardian Society—the 7,oaa Maxon in the Chair. This Society *as instituted 1812, for the preservation '.f public m oos, by pt o . Uing a temporary asylum, with suitable employinent, those unhappy females who have deviated from the of virtue, and who have eitl.er been removed by operation of the Public Street Acts, or awakened by' cunstience . to a sense of their guilt and danger. The hepert of the Society's proceedings, which was read, snewed in an eminsnt degiee the progress and utility of the - Institution. The Meeting was but thinly att Hided: tenni; Resolutions in furtherance of the benevolent ob jects of the Society Acre agreed to. Sunday etening Mr s . Carr, an attendant on the Rev. Mr. Gurney, went to visit a friend in Little Tower street, &. Martin's-lane, and on descending the stairs, his footslippecl, he fell to the bottom, and died instantly. ~ ~._ ROYAL AG''ADEMf i Mr sIC. -~-~ Yesterday, the first Anniversary :or the Royal Kea demy of Music was celebrated at the City of London Tavern. His Rayat Highness • the Duke of YORK pre. sided. Among the Noble and distinguished guests who supported him oa this occasion were—the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, the Earl of SA LTOUN, the Earl of MORLEY, Sir JOHN LEACH, Sir G. CLERK, Sir G. WA RRENDER, G. W. TAYLOR,' Esq. When the dinner was ended, a considerable number of youths and females, who are now profiting from the arrangements of the Institution, made their appearance on a small stage erected for their accommodation at the southern extremity of the dining-room. The young Ladies, some of whom were in the bloom of youth, others but yet iu childhood, furnished a splendid and an interesting novelty. They performed several pieces of music 'at different periods of the evening, among which were God save the King, .Rule Brihinnia, and Glorious Apollo, in a manner which Oiled forth thun ders of applause. The Duke of YORK, in proposing " The King," had to announce a donation of 100 guineas to the Society from his Majesty.—The toast was drank with four times four, and with great applause. The nest toasts were, " The Royal "Family," and " The Royal Academy for NI usic."—These having seve rally been drank with appropriate honours, The Duke of WELLINGTON having obtained permis sion from the Royal Chairman, to propose a toast, begged to give the-health of his Royal Highness. the . Dukeof Yoi k.—The toast was drank with three times 3. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the honour which he had received, and warmly supported the ob ject of •the Society. This country, he remarked, ex celled in arts, in war, (this never could be forgotten in the presence of his Noble Friend) in polite literature, and in almost everything but musk. ' It was the object of this Society to enable natives of England to vie with foreigners in this delightful art, and though yet in its infancy, he thought a gratifying promise had been given that, favoured with the countenance of those to whom he addressed himself, ache object would eventually be accomplished— (Applause). The healths of the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Leopold (Vice-Presidents of the Society) were drank with three times three; . The ROYAL CHAIRMA N next gave' " The health of the Duke of Wellington." Duke of WziLtscroN, in returning thanks for the honour which he had received, described the objects of the Society to be two-fold. The one, was to enable' the Professors of Musid in this country to vie with those of ii.ttious ; the second, to give those who de voted theinselvds.to it, the means of honourably pro viding for themselves, lie earnestly called on the Meeting s io bestir themselves with zeal in the cause of" so dandable Institution. Already, he regretted to say, it, baclibeenAund necessary to limit the exertions of<the Society, and it would be necessary to contract them still *nit!) if a material addition were not made, to the mcaaa Aow at their disposal:---" The Marquis of .I..ansilovrA's . health," was the next toast. The Noble Mantauts expressed himself grateful for the unexpected honour which , he had just teceived. In the . .r co m in which they, were then assembled, he re marked, the cause ciffAvatty Societies had been success- , 1 fully pleaded, but.ltepriyalij conceive none that deserve& support more than,rhis,,,which nropoed to support indi-i viduals of talent, so as to afford them • a chance of making their own fOrtune, while contributing by their skill in the delightful art of music to, the incessant gra ; tification of their country. 1 " The Directors of the Society for Ancient Music," and " The Directors of the Royal Academy for Music," were the next toasts. The Earl of Monc& returned thanks for the Direc tors of this Institution, briefly described the difficulties with which they had to contend ; and appealed to the Meeting if what they had seen and heard that day did not justify them in looking forward to the cumplete ac complishment of the object in view? The healths of " The Stewards," and " The Committee of the Institution" were severally given. For the latter The Earl of SALTOUN returned thanks; ably advo cated the cause of the Institution, and spoke of the efforts of Mrs. Wade and Mr. Miles, as having contributed largely to the improvement of the pupils. Ile stated himself to have received a letter from the Duke of Argyle since he had been in the room, apologizing for the absence of his Grace, and enclosing a donation for the service of the Society. " The Ladies Patronesses of the Institution"—lt Dr. Crotch and the Professors of the Institution"—" Sir T. Lawrence, and the Royal Academy of Arts," avid "The Philharmonic Society," vire severally given and toasted with the usual honours. At half-past ten, the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, and the Earl of Morley, retired. The Ea , l of Salmon then took the Chair, and prolonged the festal scene for another half hour. Besides the donation of 100 guipeas-frorn his Mstjesty, subscriptions of 501. from the Duke of York and the Mai quis of Lansdown, and other sums from the Nobie men and Gentlemen who countenanced the Institulion, %vete announced in the course of the evening, to the amount of 8111. The Lisbon Gazette contains several articles relative to the state of Brazil, which indicate dissatisfaction in provinces with respect to the Government of Don Pedro, though to make that appear is by no means the object of their insertion, which is declared to be to exhibit, " by means of the pens of the natives of that country, the frightful picture of anarchy and demoralization which reign in that continent since impiety and rebel lion have leagued against the altar and the throne." It seems that some persons expelled from Pernambuco ' have lately arrived at Itio. One of those persons has set up a Paper, under the title of the Ara7a Per hambucana, which professes to give an account of the views of a patty' in Pernambuco and the other pro vinces, which is hostile to the establishment of the Imperial Government. Accordingto what is stated in the Lisbon Gazette, the Editor of the Aroma denounces the existence of a plan for making Pernambuco arid the other provinces of Brazil independent Republics, united under a federal government, similar to that of the United States of North America. It is also said, that with•the view of formirig an independent Govern ment, the Republican party of Pernambuco had ordered the purchase of two frigates, for the purpose of oppo sing any attempt which might be made to blockade that port by the Government of Rio de Janeiro. The body of Captain STEWART, who was unfortt?- nately-drowned on the 2d February last, in going down to Sheerness to join his ship, the BMW, of 16 guns, was on Monday picked up in Kit's Hole, floating on the sur face of the water, by the men belonging to Mr. Boucher's Loy, and conveyed to Rochester.

Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision: "The Court having maturely weighed the whole and every parr, of the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, as well as , what the prisoner has offered in his defence, is of opinion, the prisoner, Brevet Major John Mitchell, Capt.nn in the 95th Itegi- Meat, is guilty of the whole and every part of the charges alit ged against him,. which being in breach of the Articles of War, do therefore sentence the prisoner, Brevet Major John Mitchell, Cap. tain in the 95th Regimen, to be reprimanded in any way, and at such time and place as .his blajesty may be graciously pleased to direct."

HAWKINS. Mr. GURNEY stated the .case. It was an action to re cover possession of the Queen's Head, public-house, in Twickenham, on the ground of forfeiture of the lease, by assignment to Messrs. Whitbread and Company, the brewers. The Company had . been particularly careful ti keep this a free house, and had refused repeated ap plications to let it to brewers. In the lease for 21 years :a Olden, there was an express pi ovision of forfeiture in case of assignment to brewers. Olden became indebted to the house of Messrs. Whitbread and Company, to the amount of 8001. The lease was deposited as secu rity with Messrs. Whitbread. Messrs. Whitbread ap plied to the Company of Clothworkers for a license to Olden to assign the lease, which the Company refused. Messrs. Bland and Martineau, the acting rtrtners of the house of Messrs. Whitbread and Company, after• ixards put Hawkins in possession, by proceedings upon a warrant of attorney. Mr. Clump, the • Companfi clerk, and Mr. Marti neau, one of the attornies of .thedefendants, proved that application had been made and refused for an assign ment, and that Hawkins was now in possession tinder. the o:her two defendants, Messrs. Bland and Martineau. In cress-examination, Mr. Martineau said that Olden was indebted 8001. to thedefendants, and that he wished to sell his lease.—This was the case for the plaintiffs. Mr. SCARLET L. contended that thereswas not a case to gc to the Jury. It did not appear by what title the defendants were in possession. A forfeiture was odious, arid must therefore be strictly prouo:t• No fact was to rbe presumed. 11 then the defendants could he in pos.., session without forfeiture, the Jury could nut presume that they were in possession in any other forM. • The LORD CHIEF Jusztcr. said he should atlree, if forfeiture could only I.)e by assi , gnment ; but any parting wi.:li the interest to brewers was a forfeiture. Mr. ScanLErr then addressed the Jury. The defen dams came into possession vi ithout forfeiture, for they . came in by the judgment of the Sheriff, without rraud . or collusion. This he proposed to proie. .The LORD CHIEFJUSTICE said, that he was of opinion the mere depositing of the lease was a parting with the interest for the benefit of the brewers, which forfeited '‘e lease.--Verdict for the pl.tintiifJ. • _ • .:-~-'_~ v_a• 4, 771 1 " 4 - . _gbra .

The eclat which would have inevitably attended the announcement of this very popular toast was consider:- 'ably heightened by the opportune detonation caused by the explosion of three champagne Basks,_ which the gal lant Chairman said he considered as three rounds of grape—the prOper accompaniment of the toast which he had just had the honour to purpose— (Loud laughter, and universal eheering..)
