EDINBURGH, Dic. I. We bad continued and heavy rain daring the whole of yesterday and last night•; the weather very 'cold,' and the tops of the Pentland-hilts and Arthnrs' Seat sprinkled with snow. Saturday, after dark, a •ery alarming fire was dis.. covered to have broken our in the making kiln of Mr. Anderson's brewery, at the east end of the Meadows r but fortunately, by the very alert assistance given by the fire establishment, and from the wind blowing the flames in a direction away from the other parts of the building, only the kiln, and about twenty bolls of malt ing bailey which were on it at the time, were destroyed. We understand Mr. Anderson's property was insured. The farmers in Logiealarsond complain of their houses and barns being over-run with rats and mice, in conse quence of a person who snares and kills all the cats and dogs of the district for the sake of their skins.

We regret to state, that the effects of the ga'e yester day mot ning have been of the most disastrous character, is regards the destruction of property. By this morn ing's post we have received a letter from a Gentleman at Filey, which we lay before our Readers: " Nay, December 1.

The life-boat was promptly prepared and manned ; the fishermen and men on the Preventive Sta. tion osesi their most strenuous efforts to aid the life-boat establishment. and it affords us the most heartfelt and gratifying pleasure to find, that out of twenty-five ships sod one sloop which came on shore, not a single if. has been lost.

The CriAtemas informed the Meeting that the pre. tent was a Special Meeting, called for the purpose of raining the sanction of the Proprietors to a plan for ming a new entrance to the London Docks at Shad ell. In pursuance of resolutions, passed in January 4.a Rill had been obtained, authorising the Directors raise an additional capital, in order that the objects templated might be carried into effect. • The SsearrAaT read the Resolutions referred to. The Report of the Directors to the present Meeting ad reference to obtainment of the said Bill, which othorised the taking of 300,0001. The Directors felt anfident of the expediency of the new cut, and the AePott expressed the intentions of the Directors that !l'e'T mom shcluld be used. The CHAIRMAN said it was Intended, if the Court of Proprietor s thought proper, to act up totbe Resolutions )(January, to propose resolutions, adopting the Report the Directors, and authorising them to proceed with be work. A Pinworm* desired to know bow money was to it farad to meet the extraordinary expenditure? Tim CIIIAIIIIAN said the new entrance was content 'when tne Docks were 6nt built. By the new th. Directors had two objects in view—an accession business and a prevention of loss. He thought both. bo attained by the new cut, f'r it was notorious at they lost many ships from the want of an entrance °their docks in Shadwell. It was highly necessary for hem now to do all they could to increase business. Mr. B.IILET thought that instead of voting for further lay, be was rather surprised the cut bad not bear lore made. Could the Directors state uhether the , -filtrated expense of 150,0001. would or would not be iceeded ? The CH AIRMAN said they could bare the work effected 9 ,0001. less than the estimate. Ultirgately the report and the resolutions proposed 7dle-Court of Directors were adopted, and the Meet— g separated.

In the higher kind of fancy goods for the spring trade there seems to be a revival, and the Raters and weavers' joiners are extremely busy. The practice of paying wages in goods, instead of the current coin of the realm, has become so prevalent in Bolton and the neighbourhood, that t')e shopkeepers, butchers, and others, have come to the determination of forming an association, for the purpose of putting a stop to this illegal system. GREAT MARLOW, Nov. 29. Colonel CLAYTON last week gave an elegant dinner, by way of housewarming, to as many of the builder, and other tradesmen of this town, as his house could accommodate, and we understand that he has since issued invitations for a similar party nest week. Thursday evening, as Mr. Moss and 'some of his friends were returning from Colonel CLAYTON'S, they were assailed by a shower of stones from some roffians who had concealed themselves behind a wall. They fled the instant they were pursued. The carriage of Own WILLIAM, Esq. M.P. for the Borough, was at tacked in a similar manner as he was going to a ball in thetown last winter, on which occasion a reward of 50i. was offered for the discovery of the offenders. MEETING AT BANGOR. The Meeting of the Inhabitants of the district of Bangor, to take into consideration the propriety of pre. 'tenting ith Address to hi. Maje s ty, and Petitions to the Members of both Houses if Parliament, praying their lefusal to.grant further- po:itical power to the Roman Catholics than they at present eijny, was held, pursuant to advertisement, at the National School Room, in Ban• gor, at six o'clock on the evening of Friday last ; and a most respectable Mesting it assuredly was. All the Gentlemen of rank and properirin the neighbourhood residing on the spot were present, except the few (ir wculd, perhaps, seem invidious to name them) whose opinions are in favour of what ia called Roman Catholic Emancipation, and those who are lukewarm in their opposition to it. About 700 persons were assembled.— Rostat.WILLIAMS, E.g. of Tynyfftid. moved that the Magistrate of the district do take the Chair. C. &monmy Gamest; Esq. R.N. of Bangor, se conded the motion, and a large show of hands imme diately took place. WILLIAM Warn, Esq. of Glasenfrye, then rote, and after a few introductory remarks as to the object for which he had no doubt they were assembledor is. to oppose y every legal means the admission of Papists to politi.. cal power, went on to state, in most forcible terms, the danger of admitting Roman Catholics to further parti cipation. He concluded by. moving a series of Reso lutions and an Address to the King. PAVIA BARTHON s Esq. 41 Glenadda, seconded the motion for passing the above, and said that he felt the . greater pleasure in doing so, because none years backlit looked upon the question of CatholicEmancilation quite in a different light to that in which he at present viewed it. He then thought it a religious question. He now believed it to be purely a political one, and this was erident from the illegal conduct of the demagogues of the Roman Catholic Association—lL:hem). They gloss . their aspirations for political power with religion—they use religion as a cloak to conceal vie infernal come. vances 'which they are repining- to enforce the comes• sion of all that they demand--(Cheers); The veil, how. ever, which they used to hide the deformity of their idol was of too thin a texture to prevent its discovery, and under the garb of religion the cloven foot would appear en spite of them—(Cheers). The:Resolutions and Address having been separately Pat in !ha affirmative from the Chair, the hands of nearly. en in the room %ere held op in fivour of the motion for their adoption. They. were then put in the negative, and g o bands of two persons only were lifted'up againell them. There being so small a minority, The Rev. Mr. REYNOLDS intimated that if the Gen. men who dissented had any thing to advance as seasons for so doing, or any other resolutions to propose, he would insure them a patient hearing Nopersons, how. ever, came forward; and the Magistrates, conceiving that perhaps the persons who held their hands up against the motion might not understand what they were about, put she vestion a second time, when no hand being exhibited against them, the /es °lotions and ad diets Isere declared to be passed unanimously, amidst lotsd and long continued cheering. THOMAS Jotters, Esq. of Novo, V:en rose, and said it 'devolved upon him to propose the adoption r f two Pess titions, which he held in his hand, to the Wines of Parliament, of the same tenor as the Address to his Ma jesty. which had just been .passed su unanimously. The Petitions, baying been real in Welch and Eng lish, were seconded by Gamma Davies. Esti,. of Ban. goy. who addressed the Meeting with considerable effect in the ancient British language. The motion that the petitions be adopted was re. ceived with loud cheers, and the hands of all in the room were held up in its favour. with . a single exception.— Wheri.they . were put in the negative, this person, a young matt, being the only individual in the ioom who did so, some mares of disapprobation were manifest.d, till the Rev. Mr. %MOLDS commanded silence, and said thit if the young man had any thing to Edvanie upodthe, subj ct sat his dissent from the maj city, he ought most patiently to be heard. By this time the dis sentient bad sat down, and as every other person in the room was stanaing, he could not for some tioie be seen. This occasioned cries r f" He's ashamed to show his face." To which he replied, still sitting, " I am, not ashamed to show my face, nor have 1, to my knowledge, ever done any thing to cause use to be to. The invitation from the Ch it to express his sentiments was again repeated. He replied, " I am well convinced in my own mind that I am tight; but 1 have nothing to say, as I am not used to speak in public company. Here there was a loud and general laugh; and, at the request of the majority, the guestion was again put in the negative, with an intimation. that if the Ger.tlreman did not ex plain his views, the meeting would conceive that he did riot understand the master; and if he telaised again to bold up his band against the motion, it w•iuld be ac counted as carried new. die. Failing to du either, a motion as to the unanimity of the meeting was mad., and received with loud cheers. The Rev. Oitau RevuoLos congratulated the Meeting off their unanimity, and the good temper they had dis played in discussing that important question. While they su held together, they would present an effectual bar to the inroads cf Popery, and would be the salvation of the' Constitution in Church and State, as by law vs tablished, by making a " long puke strong pull, and a pull altogether." Three loud and long-continued cheer', and "One cheer more," Ware then given fors ProteStitat Ascen dancy.... tad the Assembly dispetied. 10. FIGHT BETWEEN . NED NEAL AND ROCHE Yesterday was appointed for the deeidoa of the mod, between Ned Ithal said Roche, the Devonshireman, fo, one hundred pounds aside. The affair has been Ion? on the tapis, and woe regarded with a good deal of in terest, as rumours were industriously circulated tha Roche was *something out of the common way," and would humble the pride of the London ring, by not only licking Ned Neal, but Jen) Ward, and every oilier man who had the slightest pretensions to milling con sequence. The toss for the place of fighting having been won by Neal, he chose the neighbourhood of the scene of hi, late conquest over Jack Nicholls, and named North chapel, in Sussex, on the Petworth road, and about 45 miles from London, as the place of tendezious. He had trained at Milford, near to Godalming ; and it was re• marked by those who felt an interest in his success, that he was more than usually careful in tak;ng his exercise. Roche, who keeps a public house at Exeter, and who had been brought op from his " crib and his customers" as the tool of his honest Devonshire friends, arrived in London ten days back, and was sent down to the Bell, at Edmonton, to finish his training. From the time of the match being made, about two months since, he had considerably reduced his weight.and upon going to the scale aid Monday was found to be a trifle less than 14 stone—while Neal weighed but 12 t. Clot. This dispa rity in tare was of tousle seized as a strong argument in favour of his pretensions over Neal; but by those who were ipettind the curtain—and there were such—his size was placed ,at nought, kir it was discovered that he was a mere yobri in science. - On the Sunday Roche reached the Red Lion at Godafrainz, where he tor k up his quarters, accompa nied by some of his patrons. Neal was but two miles distant, and on the Monday afternoon he set off to a retired house at Compton; a village *Wit four miles from Milford, where he kept hiMself completely se cluded from obeervation. The eventful Morning at last: broke, and soon after ten o'clock Ned returned to his old quarters as blithe as a lark. as tine as a star, end, in fact, in tip-top condition. The ring was formed as i common _behind the vil lage of Nort* Chapel, in good order ; but, considering the importance of the event, the muster of " the Lon don Particulars" was but thin. At eleven o'clock Ruche quitted Gpdalming in a post chariot, his two principal hackers on the box„ and a third by his sides he VokeJ in good health and tolera ble spirits. Just at the moment he arrived at Milford Neal came forth surrounded by his friends, sporting their bitd's-eye blue fogies in good style, while_ two key bugles rtock up the favourite air of All the Blue Bonnets." A carriage, with four horse,, was in readi ness, upon the ben of which he mounted, supported on his left by the Poitsmouth Dragsman, one of his staunchest supporters.. Tom Swing, and his other friends, .then mounted, and off set the cavalcade. Roche taking the lead. The four prods, however, soon gave him the" go by." and Neal first reached the Swan arNortfi Chapel, where he tommenced prepara titms for.laction. The weather, trough extremely cold, wait fine, and.the sun shone forth with unusual brightness. Rothe remained in his chaise. Shortly before onto clock, Neal entered the' ring, attended by Tam Spring and Harry Holt—he was received with loud cheers. Roche soon after carnelorth, under the guidance of Ben Burn and yowl; Dutch Sam, followed by his backers. His co. lours "delight bine. The toss for choice of position was won by 4./lolt for Neal, and bath men proceeded to strip. On comparison of their persons, it was . impos-ible not to observe that Roche had the advantage both. in weight and lesygtli ; but then in age and freshness it-was quite the reeerse. His flesh sedned soft and puffy, while the fat of his greobliery hung in folds over his drawers. He knked..as w e before - said, well in health, but to our rile he could not be less than 86 years of age. Neal was all life and file—not 4 superflo.,us ounce on his bones, and as dins as a greyhound. Tne umpires and referee having been chosen, the backers of K vtle took up as petition near the roles. At this moment 7 to 4 and 2to 1 wore greedily taken. And nest tomes • TH R FIGHT. Round I.
