The Paces began yeflerday, which afforded ihme excellent fport ; and there was as deep bet in the Booth as we ever remember. The fport of this forenoon was not In good, the firll match being off by confent. In the lan beat a fad acci dent happened to Mr. Ladbroke's Bay Filley, by Bacchus, which in coming up the hill funred a drain, and broke his back ; the confequence was, that his throat was obliged to be cut on the courfe.

Fl R s.—Ye flerday fe'n nigh t, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a tire broke out at the houfe of Mr. Bond, a farmer at Shobrook, fix miles from Exeter, which was attended with the molt melan choly confcquence.. When this fad cataftrophe occurred, Mr. Bond and part of his family were at church,and only two of his daughters at home, the eldelt about eighteen years of age, the other fifteen ; both of them, after dinn e r, had rep o f e d themselves on a bed, and did not awake until they were lurrounded with flames, one of whom imme diately flew to the window, and defcended un hurt : the other attempted to follow her, but fome fire falling before her, became fo alarmed that the ran to another part of the home, where, finding the fire raging with greater violence, the endea voured to get back again, but being prevented by the flames, ran to the window of another room : here the fcene was 4ffliding to an extreme degree, the young lady was ken by her neighbours ufing every effort to open the window, which the being unable to accomplith, they begged her to break the glafs, which was inflantaneoufly effeaed. But, unfortunately, in the hurry and confufion, no lad der could be found, fo that no aid could be af forded her ; and being unable, with her utmoft efforts, to force her way through, her fituation became awful beyond dekription : repeatedly the jumped at the window, clafped the fraircs with her hands, but being fuff.)cated with the fmoke, the fell backwards, and perithed in the flames ! her body was loon after dug out, with the head :Ind legs burnt off ! The whole of the premiks were confumed. A fervant maid coming too near tile -e,whilft part of a chimney was falling down, a brick tell upon her head, and fiatftured her fkull. On the gth of month, a dreadful fire broke nut in the village of St. Veit, near Schonbrunn, in tilL, ncigitipuur!:ond of Vienna ; feveral houfes were reduced to alhes, and, !hocking to relate, fix little children becamea prey to the wide fpreading flames. On Tuefday morning, at a very early hour, the barns of Mr. John Hoy, farmer at Cove, near Dun bar, was difcovered to he on fire, by which the whole were burnt down, together with all the oats,' barley, and grain therein ; afro a flack of wheat, and another of oats in the barn-yard, were com pletely confumed.
