Never, since the commencement of our editorial duties has it been onr melancholy lot to record an event of a nature so much to be lamented as that with which this town was afflicted on Saturday last. At about twenty minutes before eight o'clock of that morning, the appalling cry of fire was vociferated throughout town, and the dark clouds of smoke soon convinced us of the fatal truth, and which was found to have thiginated in a house just behind the market place, and having communicated to the adjoining build. ings, spread to the North and South with a rapidity truly astonishing, for in two hoar: from the com mencement of the fire the principal part of North Crown Prince's-quarter had become a prey to the de vouring flames; and notwithstanding the great exertions made to arrest its progress, all the houses on French man's-hill (excepting Major Wright's dwelling, and, we believe, two small buildings), were burnt to the ground, as well as thole in a line from the market down to the very end of the town. The southern part of Curacoa•street, and about twenty houses on the right of the main street at the west end of the town, were, by great exertions, fortunately rescued. Same of the fire-proof stores in the range of the fire were preserved ; but others supposed . to be so, being ex posed by having the doors and windows open to remove the goods, were destroyed. On the least calculation, we may safely say that one-third of our unfortunate town has been destroyed. From all the accounts we have been able to gather, it appears that the fire originated entirely from accident. It gives us great pleasure to state, that a subscrip tion was opened )esterday, and in a few hours nine thousand dollars were raised, which is now in the hands of a Committee, who are distributing food and apparel to the unfortunate sufferers. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE arrived yesterday from the Continent. His Grace landed at Dover on Monday. In the same packet came passenger Reenters, %Nara ava's celebrated Mamelake It is said that the embassy of the Duke of NORTH minarres will cost nearly 150,000, and that the expense win be borne entirely by himself. FOOTS AND HAYNE.—(From a Correspondent.)—We understand that the deeds of settlement between these parties were traneelkd on Saturday last, and that the 2001. said to have been de posited by Mr. HATNE in the bands of Miss Fortra's solicitor, were returned on Monday.-21eses. PETBRSPIELD ELECTION.—OOIOIIeILUSHINGTON was, on Saturday, elected without opposition to serve in Pat• liament for this Borough, in the room of Sir PHILIP MUSGRAVE, who has been elected for Carlisle. Saturday, Sir PHILIP MUSGRAVE was elected to represent the City of Carlisle in Parliament, in the place of the late Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Batt. M. PILTIER well known for his devotedness to the Royal cause, for which he wrote and exposed himself so courageously from the beginning of the Revolution, has just died at Patis. He was the chief Editor of a collection which was much in vogue in 1789, and the two following years (The Ads of the Apostles). After the 10th of August, 1792, he withdrew to England, where he never ceased to write against the Governments which took the place for a time of the legitimate Mo narchy. Having returned to France in 1814, he con stantly professed the purest and most disinterested zeal for the Monarchy and the Bourbons. He was sixty two years old.—Journol des Debats.

LITERATURE, gee. Tremaine ; or, the Man of Refinement. 3 vols. Lon don, 1825. Without inquiring whether this excellent Novel is from the pen of any of the distinguished personages to whom it has been ascribed, we hesitate not to say, that it would do honour to the head and heart of any author. It embodies many original and well-drawn characters in a story which is at once clear, distinct, and interesting. The hero of the novel is a Gentleman in high life, who retires from the world, sated with its vices and follies:, he has become a sceptic—almost an infidel, but is af terwards reclaimed by the powerful reasonings of a friend. The last volume conta►ns much able polemical discussion, yet so happily interwoven with a story, as to appear to constitute an essential and interesting part of it. The author has a deep acquaintance not only with society, but with the human heart, and notwithstanding the gravity of some portions of these volumes, there are others of a light and agreeable character, which prove him to possess considerable humour. The style is vigorous and elegant. The following is an extract : "It was at the gate of a cottage garden in theOrlean nois, in one of the softest evenings ever known in France, that a graceful little French girl, with brown but well turned hands, presented a scarcely browner loaf and a glass of milk to Georgina; and this little French girl looked so salve and eveille, and was dressed so piquantly in a jacket and short jupe, shewing the most charming symvs etry at every torn, and the simple rose with which she had decked her dark hair just where it parted, Madona-like, across hi r oval polished forehead, was so tastefully disposed ; and moreover, she curtsied her thanks so prettily for the little piece of silver bestowed upon her for the milk and bread she had supplied ; she was so humble, yet so proud withal for having done any thing for so sweet a lady. " Mademoiselle est si donee, et si milack," said the little French girl. All this, to gither with the scene around, excited more interest in Georgina than anything she had met with since she left Yorkshire. " It was, indeed, a scene to do the heart good, espe cially if it wanted soothing ; for not only was the air alone, in that soft climate and softest of evenings, a luxury sufficient for the most sickly sense,but the cottage garden, at the gate of which the poor exhausted Geor gina had stopped, was a blaze of flowers, displaying such colours and emitting such scents, as we poor islanders, with all our ruralities, are condemned never to know. Then again, in a large stack-yard, only just across the garden, the fragrant process of building several hay ricks was going on. These were supplied by a suc cession of carts, drawn by oxen, from the plain of Orleans, which lay but a short distance off. The ve nerable pile of its cathedral could indeed be distinctly seen in the distance, and curfew heard, as if warning all travellers to come within its protection before night should set in. "Georgina,however,was much more disposed to listen to a song of birds perfectly ravishing, that arose from the echoing of a number, seemingly endless, of nightin gales and thrushes that lived on the banks of the copsy stream which passed the end of the little garden. This fairy rivulet ran winding under •arious root-formed bat , ks, and gurgling over mossy stones,it brokeout of the valley into the great plain of Orleans, abovementioned, then uniting itself with the Loire, it proceeded in broad and majestic march, till at a distance it seemed lo.t among the ever memorable walls and consecrated steeples of this old. eventful, and still respectable city. All this formed exactly a fit scene both for father and daughter." The History of Paris from the Earliest Period to Me Pre sent Day, containing a Description of its Antiquities, Public Buildings, Bfc. Three Vols. Bvo. L.0nd0n,1825• Will it be believed that this is the first attempt to give to the British public a general History of Paris ? yet such, we are assured, is the case, however extraor dinary it may seem. , 4 Better late than never" is an old proverb, and a true one, and we are therefore thankful to the author for thus supplying a desideratum in our literature. The work commences with a general history of Paris, tracing its progress from the time when the Parisii, who had been driven from Belgium, settled on the Islands of the Seine, to the present day. It is curious to see from what slender beginnings cities, and even kingdoms are formed. The whole territory of the Parizii at first was limited to some ten or twelve leagues, and the present city of Paris consisted then of a few wretched huts. The Author describes all the principal public buildings of every description, and introduces many interesting anecdotes connected with the revolution. In the third volume, there is much curious statistical information; and the work is such that it will soon find its way into every good Library. The Author gives a very interest ing account of the Prisons, and of the horrible system that formerly governed them. We have little room for erracts, but shall quote two passages: In the Prison du Grand Chitelet, the most wanton tortures appear to have been committed : " In the accounts of the previlti of Paris, there is this article:—' Brass pulley for the use of the prison de la Fosse, at the Chitelet: It appears that the prisoners were lowered into the dungeon, named la Foss?, by an opening contrived in the vault, in the same manner as . a bucket descends into a well. " Perhaps this fosse was the same that was called Chews& d'Hypocras, where the prisoners' feet were in water, and they could neither stand upright nor lie down. Its form must have been that of an inverted cone. In general, the prisoners confined here died after a fortnights detention. " Another dungeon, filled with ordure and reptiles, was called Fin d'Aise. In short, most of the names of these prisons, and especially Les thibleettes, present a dreadful idea of them to the mind. This prison was demolished in 1802, with the other buildings of the Chitelet." The following custom is related in the account of the Church of Notre Dime : " In 149, some notable personages, master gold smiths of Paris,agreed, as an act of e devotion, to present annually, on the first of May, at midnight, a Ally be fore the principal door of this Church. They elected* Prince for one year only, who was to settle the expenses of the said May. " The May was placed on a pillar in the form of a tabernacle, in the several faces of which were small niches, occupied by different figures of silk, gold, and silver, representing certain histories, and below them were explanatory inscriptions in French verse. The May remained at the great door from midnight till after vespers the next day, a hen it was transpoited, together with the pillar,before the image of the Virgin, near the chciry and the old May of the prece frog yea& was removed into the Chapel of St. Anne, to be bpi' there also a year. This ceremony was regsilarly ob served 16b7,tilr when the goldsmiths presented to the Church a triangular tabernacle of wood, very curiously wrought, in %shah three paintings were inclosed; these' paintings were changed annually, and the old ones hung up in the Chapel of St. Anne." 7 he Pocket Annual Register of the History,Politics, Arts Science, and Literature of the Year 1821. 18iao. 510. London, 1825. The experience of more thin half a century has con firmed the value of those records of events, called An nual Registers, and they are now to be found in every good Library ; there is, however, a class of persons to whom their bulk or price may not be suitable, and to such we would recommend this really clever little volume. - 7 -It is a faithful epitome of the events of the year, executed with good taste and great discrimination ; and contains a digest of the Foreign and Domestic History, of the Year, the Proceedings -in Parliament, Public D3cuments, State Papers, a Chronicle of Occurrences, and Law Proceedings. The volume also contains Memoirs of nearly fifty Distinguished Persons who died during the last year. Miscellanies of Science, Art, and Literature, Extracts from New Books, Charac ters of Individuals, Select Poetry, &c. A more useful, interesting, or better arranged pocket volume we never met with.

By JOHN BULL, Lag. pp. 767, London, 1825. He must be a much graver personage than we pro fess to be, that does not laugh with the Laughing Phi losopher; and we envy not that man's taste who cannot find abundance of amusement in this •olume. It con- I , tains a choice selection of tales and anecdotes of wit and humour, bon mots, repartees, sm. If it be trite, as the song says, that " Too much care will make a man grey," we recommend the Laughing Philolso. as an antidote which will scarcely fail of being effectual. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BERKELEY HUNT DINNER. Yesterday sennight, pursuant to annual custom, Colonel Berkeley and the Members of the Berkeley Hunt Club, dined together at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham. Their social meeting was never so nu- 1 merously attended as on this occasion, by Noblemen and Gentlemen of consequence and respectability in the county ; and the arrange ments for their reception were truly superb. After dinner, the customary touts were drank with enthusiasm : "The King and the Illustrious Members of the Royal Family," &c. • After which Colonel Berkeley proposed that bumpers should be filled " to the town of Cheltenham, and the happiness and welfare of its inhabi tants,' a toast which was received with the warmest acclamations. Mirth, pleasantry, and good humour, pervaded the happy circle till a late hour. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. ?MOAT APRIL 5. _ .

By the timely arrival of the engines the further progress of the fire was arrested. So great is the demand for houses st Derby, in con sequence of the increase of its population, that nine acres of building ground, called Sitwelrs Field, for which'lool. only were asked a few years ago, were lately knocked down for 11001.

LENT ASSirES.. MAIDBTONP.. APRA 4: Stephel &Sikh and 46randist Wick= were indicted for a burglary and robber?, to the amount of nearly 1001. in the house of Mr. Thomas Thompson, at'Seele. in the night of the 12th of Nov ember last; and /boas Bloomfield was indicted as a inky receiver of part of the stolen property. Two men, named Clarke and Butler, travelling tin kers, were indicted at the last Winter Assizes for the same robbery, and were, under circumstances of great susp'elon, acquitted. It has since turned out that they were perfectly innocent of the offence. Tne principal witness to support the present indict ment was an accomplice named Thomas Avis, a noto rious end desperate burglar, who admit ed, on his cross-examination, that he had been concerned in no less than 22 capital felonies within the short space of 18 months. From his evidence it appeared, that the prisoners Smith and Wickins, and himself, had planned a robbery in the house of the Countess of Ahoyne, on the night of the 12th of November, but finding some of the domestics up at the time they arrived at the premises, they changed their arrangements, and pro ceeded to the house of Mr. Thompson, a Gentleman of substance, residing at Fawke-common. They at rived 'there bets; een 11 and 12 o'clock at night. Mr. Th imp s= and his wife were from home on a visit, leaving a groom and two female servants in the care of the house. An entry was immediately effected through a wash house window, by means of a centre-bit and other im pkments of burglary. Avis, the accomplice, remained outside, whilst his companions till Id the hogs* of a considerable quantity of household linen, wearing ap parel, and a traylul of silver plate, consisting cf forks, spoons, ladles, &c. They were on the preini.es alto gether for about two hours. What occurred inside the . Louse was described by the man and the maid servants. From their evidence it appeared, that about three o'clock the females were aroused by two men entering their bed-room, with their faces blackened, each having a candle in his hand. One of them immediately w:th drew, whilst the other went to the foot of their bed, and demanded where the prosecutor's money and plate were? The girls, almost terrified to death, screamed for help. Tim ruffian held a bludgeon over them, and threatened murder if they made any noise. He then proceeded to search the drawers and cupboards in the mom, and from cue of the latter he took the plate-tray, and banded it to his companion. By this - time the cries of the females aroused the groom, who slept on the same floor. He came to the door, and the sound of his voice alarmed the thieves, who immediately fled, car rying off the property with them. According to Avies story, the plunder was eqtally divided between him and his accomplices, and that nett day he saw the latter go into the house of the prisoner Bloomfield, and leave there some part of their share of the booty. Mr. Th.ins- WO advertised a reward of 1001. for the apprehension and conviction of any of the persons concerned in the robbery. The two men, named Clarke and Butler, above mentioned, were taken up on suspicion, in conse quence of their having been seen near the premises oa the day before the robbery, and were then discovered to have in their tinkery barrow a screw-driver and an old razor, converted into a chisel, which exactly resembled two instruments of the same description which the thieves had left in the house upon their retreat. The tent in which Butler and Clarke lived was afterwards searched, and these implements having been found in ' their barrow, they were taken up, 'tied, and acquitted. On the lit and 2d of January last, in consequence of information given to Mr. Thompson by a brother-in law of Avis, the prisoners Smith and Wickens were ap prehended, and then Avis voluntarily surrendered, con fessed his guilt,aad implicated his ace( mplices.He admit ted, on his cross-examination, that be knew Clefts and Bader to be innocent of the robbery, and yet allowed their lives to be placed in jeopardy without any attempt to come forward is their justification. The houses of the three prisoners were respectively searched. In the house of Bloomfield were found several pairs of sheets, and a shawl, which were identified by the prosecutor and his wife. The initials marked on the sheeting had been ingeniously picked out, but the traces were per fectly visible. In the house of Smith were also found some pieces of sheeting, one of which was alfo identi• fled in the same manner to be the property of the pro secutor. The accomplice was corroborated in several collateral particulars of his story. No witnesses were called in definite. The Jury, after an elaborate summing up on die part of Mr. Baron Gamma, found all the Finnan Guilty. The Comm sentenced Bloomfield to be transported for 14 year, and sentence of Death was pronounced so the other prisoners ; upon whom, the Learned Judge told them, the judgment of the law must be executed. APRIL S. PIIKVIIIITIVE SIRVICII—RIOHT 07 MIMICS. THI ZING V. PINNAW. Mr. Betjeant TADDY stated the case for the prawns. tion. He said that the question which be submitted to the Jury was important, not only to the prosecutor (the Earl of Harborought, but to the public in general. Tbis case was that of every subject who had any regard for their liberty. The facts were shortly these s—Oa the 28th of August, 1828, the Noble Lord entered on board of a vessel at Ramsgate, with the view of teach ing Dover that evening. He arrived there late at night ; and as the tide had ebbed, he could not enter the bar bout. He landed just below it, at a place called the Knowles, about half-past eleven at night. After he had debarked, he walked towards the York Hotel; bat on his way thither was stopped by the defendant, who was a seaman in the Preventive Service. This person in sisted on searching him : his Lordship asked *list authority he possessed for exercising this poser ? The only answer made to this request was, that his Lord ship must not ;sleeted farther. • This, however, his Lordship refused to do, as no authority had been pro duced. The man then drew his cutlass, and in a menacing attitude said, es By the H sly Ghost if you don't stop I'll cut you dawn." His Lordship lemon :traced against this flagitious conduct, and de clared that if the man carried his threat into execution, ht had . eirecwoultdupbeonahaillaitY;offorilionurdbri; This , Lordships w irtmit er, pt mg to proceed to the Hotel, the seaman drew forth a pistol, and threatened to blow his brains out. Lord Herb*. rough thought it proper for his safety to apply for the assistance of the crew in the vessel which he had left, and two of them were accordingly called. Meanwhile the defendant fired the pistol; mid as this acted as a signal to the seamen stationed at other parts of the coast, the Lieuteaaat came to the spot. The delentlaat afterwards withdrew, and his Lordship proceeded to rthe York Hotel. The Learned %Jeans submitted that the proceeding on the part. aI Pinnate Iles gaits L, i yy 1.
