DREADFUL FIRES. Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mrs. Parker, of No. 20, Wilmington-square, Spafields, who kept a boarding school for young ladies. It would appear that all the family, including Mr. and MrsuParker, had retired to rest before the fire broke out, as it was with the.utmost difficulty that any of them was preserved, even in their night clothes, from destruction. Mrs. Parker and the servants escaped from the front doer, while seveml °C I the young ladies were rescued from death by Mr. Par ker, a backgammon table maker, residing in Merlin's place, who, at the risk of his life, saved four of them by taking them out of the first and second floor windows, and was bravely proceeding to the attic story, through fire and smoke, to save a young child, five years old ; but in this attempt he had nearly perished, for he fell down from suffocation, and was carried out of the flames in a state of insensibility. Mr. Parker, the pro prietor of the house, was seen actively engaged in assist ing to preserve the lives of his family, but it is lament able to state that, -in his praiseworthy endeavours to accomplish so desirable an end, he lost his own life, and so late as five o'clock yesterday the body was not found ; nor that of the little girl, five years old, who was asleep in the attic story, and who is also missing. It has been a,cer tained that the fire broke out in the kitchen, and such was the rapidity of the flames, that but for the promßt supply of water, and the active assistance of the neighbours, and two parish engines, the adjoining houses must have been also destroyed before the arrival of the firemen with the Insurance Office engines. ANOTHZR Accouwr.—Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, a dreadcul fire broke out at an establishment for young Ladies, known by the name of Wilmington- House, No. 21, Wilmington-square, Clerkenwell, kept by a Lady of the name of Parker, which, for some time threatened destruction to the surrounding houses., By the timely arrival of the engines, aided by a plenti ful supply of water, the flames were prevented from ex tending their ravages beyond the house in which they first commenced, which was entirely burnt to the round, leaving only the bare walls standing. Not a single article of furniture was saved, with the exception of two or three chairs and's musical instrument. So rapid was the progress of the destructive element, that the inmates with the greatest difficulty effected their escipe, by means of ladders, from the second and third stories. The house, which belongs to a person of the Trance of Chell, residing at No. 22, who holds an official -situation under Mr. Justice Holroyd, is partly insured. We regret to add, that Mr. Parker, and a little girl about six years old, have since been missing, having, it is feared, perished among the ruins. The fire was first discovered in the kitchen, which was on the basement. Frieay night, about half-past eleven, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Simpson, a tea-dealer, residing at the corner of Rawsthorn-street, near Sadler's Wells Theatre. At the time the accident was disco vered, Mr. Simpson was in conversation with Alr. Jones, the landlord of the Red Liun public house, nearly ad joining. They proce e d e d instantly to he scene of devastat:on, and with greet promptness the latter Gen tleman rescued the cash-box, desk, and books of ac count, and lodged them in his own premises. He then, at great risk, proceeded to the upper apartments; in order to ascertain whether the children were safe, as the frenzied lather was almost incapable of exertion; ' finding the rooms all vacated, Junes descended, and being in danger of speedy suffocation, he dragged the father from the house, which, in the course of half-an hour, was reduced to a skeleton. There is another fact connected with this accident which is not unworthy of remark. About an hour before it happened, Mrs. Tit chenor, who occupied part of the premises, died sud denly during her husband's absence of twenty minutes, and her remains were removed to the clubroom of the Red Lion public-house, where they are now deposited. Sir HENRY HALFORD left town on Saturday, for his ma, Wiliam Hall, Harboiough, Leicesters hire. On Friday evening the Duke of Gra:woman ho neared the Haymarket Theatre with his presence. Tuesday week, while William Keating and Robert Hughes, of Ardfinane, were valuing tithes on the camp ground near that village, they were attacked by seven men, with blackened faces, and by a person in female attire, who beat them severely, inflicting seven cuts on the head and many bruises on the body of the former, and four cuts on the head of the latter. , --irish Paper. The whole of tk.e clothing delivered to the Militia for annual training is ordered to be sent to the Army Depot in London, previous to that force being new clothed, which is understood will take place immediately, it having been determined on some material alteration, so as to render the Militia men effective, a part of which, it is said, will remain constantly embodied, from which the regular army is to be kept complete, by allowing a portion of the Militia to enlist therein annually, which will dispense with the present mode of recruiting the At my, and preve , t the numerous illegal enlistments of Altlitia men, a hich now take place into the Line. CRUELTY TJ A tiOßSE.—Saturday, at Guildhall, the driver of the Marcharn waggon was summoned by Mr. L. Gomakarz (Member of the Cruelty Society), before Alderman ANSLEY, for ill treating a horse. The driver was severely reprinianded, and charged with costs. SeecticaTros MANIA.—It appears from a table just published of all the schemes and bubbles projected during the last two tears, that they amounted in num ber to two hundred and forty-three; that the amount of capital proposed to be subscribed on these schemes was 21.8,000,0001. that the amount actually paid was 43,062,6081. and that the balance due on the whole of these schemes, at the close of 1825, was 199,937,1021. Numerous other schemes, to which equal publicity has not been given, are known to have been projected throughout the United Kingdom, and without exagge ration it may be inferred, though it may astonish dupes and Directors, that the bubble mania, if carried into ex ecution to its meditated extent, would have required, if it could have been procured, a capital of three hundred antlffly millions sterling! Wednesday, a disgraceful riot was created in Turk stt eet, Bethnal•green, by a woman named Buna, who had just returned from the House of Correction for ill-treating her apprentice girl. On her arrival, learning that an old woman, who had been a principal in procuring her com mittal, was on the point of death, she hastened to her, and uttered some imprecations and impious wishes as to her future destiny, which so shocked the inmates, that they forced her into the street, where a general battle en sued, and several persons were seriously maimed. She at length took refuge in her own house, every window in which was demolished, and there is no doubt that the whole building would have been laid in ruins, and her life forfeited, had not the arr i va l o f t h e police abated the fury of the mob. POLICE INTELLI6tNCL .....tis..-.. . • y ROW-STREET. . . • . Saturday, Mr. Hogg was charged, by Robert Fault, with ed. Waal cooversation with his (Forrett's) wife, and with throwing him down stairs. Mr. Hogg, who is a master-baker, was brought from St. Clement Dane's Watch-house, where he had been eon: Zrto on the preceding night ; Mr. Parrett is a journeyman e!, residing in Plough-court, Carey-street, Lincolles ho [ Fields, and Hogg was his particular friend. Mr. Forrest accused his friend in the following terms t " I had been out to spend the evening on Friday, and about eleven o'clock I returoed home. I went to the door of my wife's bed-room, and found it was locked Inside, a circumstance very unusual; I knocked at the door, and instantly heard a confused noise • I rapped at the door repeatedly, but no answer was made ; called out to my wife to let me into the room, but still no reply was given ; I•walkefl to the top of the stairs to call for aseistance, when the door was cautiously opened by a man, who came out, and rushed violently against me, and shoved me headlong down stairs. The prisoner was ultimately taken Into custody. I had returned an bout sooner than I was expected, and Mr. Hogg is the person whom I saw come out of my wife's bed-room." On being called upon to explain his conduct, Mr. Hogg said he met Mrs. Forrett, in Holborn, on Friday tight, and accompanied her home. He admitted that they spent the evening in drinking; but he neither admitted nor denied that he had been criminal with her. Mr. blittsuut.t. said his conduct towards his friend had been very treacherous. His running off in the way he did was proof of his guilt, and he had aggravated his offence by subsequently tommiting a violent outrage on the husband. tie ordered him to be committed, and to give twenty-four hours notice •f bail. IFIATTON-GARDEN. George Mood, a timber-toad lien Bobstay, was charged by Dem dale the Night Constable, with creating a riot hi Chapel-street, Somers Town, on Friday night. The veteran, who keeps a tin shop near the spot, and is a Greenwich out-pensioner, had just re ceived a quarter's pay, and had been indulging himself with a double share of grog, when, under cover of night, he bore down, with a galling shower of grape and canister, upon the regularly constitu ted authorities of tbat place. The bombardment was patiently en dured for some hours, and the assailant entreated to close his ports, which being disregarded, the Governor of the fort ordered out a superior force to board the " daring foe ;" and, after a most gallant resistance, be was towed into dock. Magistrate. What is he? Constable. He keeps a tin-shop, your Worship. Prisoner. It's false ;--tbe shop keeps me. lam a seaman, served his Majesty 17 years, and lost my pin in defence of my country ; and now I am dragged here in irons like a dog, because I will not pay taus to a parcel of taylors and cobblers to get drunk with every night.--He was remanded till the fumes of the grog bad evaporated. '` . s DIARY-LA-BONNE. Paddington Tom, alias Thomas Parley, was charged with assault ing and beating C harles Elliott, " What are you?" said Mr. RAWLINSON to Elliott, when he got up to prefer hit charge. " A shooter, Sir,' replied Elliott. " A shooter!" said Mr. Eswcissow, " what do you mean by a shooter?" " It's the same thing as a cad to other coaches," replied Elliott, " but we Paddington cads are shooters." The etymology of the term put Mr. Martinson to the puzzle.— Elliott could throw no light on the subject further than that it was a new name for cad, to which, by way of pre-eminence, the guards of Paddington coaches are alone entitled. The word "guard" seemed to assist Mr. Rawlinson in big ideas, and he concluded, that as guards occasionally carry blunderbusses, the word shooter owed its derivation to that circumstance. In a " bit of a lark," Joe Mellish, another shooter, stole Charles Elliott's dinner out of the dickey, and gave it to Paddington Tom, and he said, says he, " Tom, here's Charley's dinner." Thinking it no joke to lose his dinner, Charley " takes up his fi,t, and knocks Paddington Tom down;' and thus originated the assault. 'lr. Raw/Litman ordered Torn to find bail. The parties retired, and soon returned to say that they had set tled the matter, Ly Tom jiving ds, to Charley. Mr. Ilawtutsom said he would consent to no such arrangement; the Paddington shooters are a perpetual nuisance to the public, and unless Tom gave an additional ss. to some charity the case must go to the Sessions. This did nor meet with Paddington Tunes approbation, and he was locked up. Major Spencer was charged by Mr. Hart, of Holywell-street, in the Strand, with an assault. Hart said, that on Thursday, when he took some damask table cloths and napkins to the Major's : house in Bentinek street, which the Major had bought of his fa ther, a dispute arose about the quality, and the Major refused to pay for them ; he threw the napkins, &c. about the floor, locked the parlour door, knocked him down, called him an impostor, and kept beating him, although he cried " murder and mercy !" until at last be kicked him out-of the house; said he was very much id': jured by a kick upon a dangerous part, which he received at the street door. John Lomath, a stranger passing by, witnessed the last kick.—The Major acknowledged that he did kick the com plainant out of the house, as a reward (he said) for his insolence. He was ordered to give bail, himself in 401. and two sureties is 201. each, to answer the charge at the Sessions. Job Norton, who formerly kept a butcher's shop in Fitzroy Market, with his wife and four children, the eldest eight years old, and the youngest at the breast, asked Mr. ItAvimissos's advice. He said, that on Thursday, being in the utmost distress, he applied to the Overseer of Sc. Pancras, and they were taken into the Work house • but on Friday, 10s. was given to him, and they were sent away —be walked the streets, until the children could proceed no farther, endeavouring to procure a lodging, which every body re (used Lies, because of his family, and they must have remained out an night, had it not been for a Lady, who took them to her house. Charlotte Sharp, who lives in Field -street, Bartle Bridge, said, that hearing a noise at the top of the street, between twelve and one in the morning, she dressed herself, and went to see what was the matter; on her road she found the poor man and woman sitting toge:her upon the ground, the eldest child was sitting at a distance by himself, two of the girls were asleep on a piece of board, and the other was in her wallies arms. " I could not, your for ship (said she), return to my bed, and leave the poor creatures in such distress, so I took them home, and I hope your Worship will do something for thent." The worthy Lady gave up her own bed for the children's accommodation, and they had received a good washing, and some additional clothing, at her hands, before they came to the Office. Mr. Itawcu4son asked her if she knew any thing of the family ? She said she never saw them before. Mr. liwwursow—'• You have done a very kind act, and I am sure the recollection of it will afford you satisfaction at a future day. I will immediately send au officer with them to the workhouse, and if the Parish will not provide fur them, bring them back to me."— The Lady then accompanied the parties to the workhouse. J. Beck was remanded on suspicion of having stolen a quantity of harness with which he was stopped by a watchman en Saturday morning, in company with another man, both of whom were given into the custody of a private watchman, but who suffered the other to escape.—The Magistrate reprimanded the private watchman severely, and told him if the other man was not produced on Mon day (this day) he should hold him responsible. UNION-HALL Mr. Thomas lbw again appeared, according to the Magistrate's directions, and Mr. Venning, who had preferred a charge of assault against Hoot, being also present, the complaint was discharged, oa Vanning stating that the hurt be received was purely accidental.— The case is given in Saturday's STAR. THAMES POLICE. Saturday, Samuel Lalky was put to the bar, charged with the wil ful murder of Thomas Tate, on beard the ship Kent, a South sea man, in September last, on the High Seas, near the Sandwich Islands.—The risoner,who is a very good-looking young man, and has been in irons since that period, was brought up on Tuesday evening, In custody of Gray, the officer, from Blackwall, where the Kent is now lying. Mr. Decimate then went partially into the case, and the prisoner was remanded till Saturday, when all the evidence was fully gone into. Richard Christopher stated, that he is a seaman on board the Kent South Sea whaler. On the 19th of September last be was on board the vessel; she was on the coast of New Zealand. He was in the forecastle, as was the deceased, Thomas Tate ' • he was sitting on a chest, cutting tobacco • it was on a week day, between the hours of twelve and two; th e prisoner came from the deck into the forecastle, and sat down opposite to the deceased ; he was eating his dinner ; some words passed between them. The witness saw the prisoner strike the deceased with his right hand; he had a knife, with which he was eating his dinner, in his left; saw the deceased endeavour to get up, but be fell down immediately; after wards saw a quantity of blood gush from his right side; the deceased almost immediately after died; when the prisoner struck the de ceased, he heard the latter cry out, " Oh ! for GOD'S sake, go for a doctor." Mr. BSODKIUP addressed the prisoner, and said, "On Tuesday evening you, spina my advice, insisted on entering on your defence. I apprised you of the consequence of so doing, without the advice of a professional man, and warned you that every thing you sh ou ld say would be annsilitted to writing, and might operate against you Lave said I 4 pelimmer : I valala a bast lama ; riga' wants' ipe was mac pea-soup. ilagnar4 a @Maass. aikido*, 14 Hails you tiothing else to bail your satizwki r I said not. I mt. it, and bailed the soup. Christopher ".That's a noble asp." I said, lam no more a chap than you Ire —I have amass in the vessel as well as you have, call me by my name; be said, I auppossi you want to bully. Tate said, it was a dsemt trick—he never saw such done before. I said it was often practised; be said ao ; so I hove the cocoa nut-shell at him, vinegar and all, Cannot recollect the answer be made ; if it was to save my life caunot recollect it. I told bins, if be would not give overaggranting me, I should strike him; be said, " Don't be afraid, lam not afraid; Christopher." He said they were sending Ilissiessaries to naturalize the savages of New Zealand, and it would be myth better tit keep them at beta', and send them to naturalise that part of the cottury I came from. This aggravated me. I struck him; he hipl a knife in his band ; I said, • 1 Tate, do you intend to stab me i° I bad a knife in my left hand; he shoved his knife against my chest, and, under the apprehension of losing my life, I m a de use of rte tare I bad, and I had no other way of escaping, extepth e ailing over the chest, which was impossible. Riskard Christopher was again called, and he made a further doe position. He said that he did not see Tate, the deceased, strike the prisoner; he was not minding much, but was eating his dinner. It might be possible that the deceased struck, or attempted to take, the prisoner with a knife.' The deceased did not rise up after belimi stabbed. There was no scuffle. He certainly saw prisoner get up from where he was sitting, and strike the deceased first. Mr. Baoneate begged to know from the witness how long it was from the time he first saw the prisoner strike the deceased until be saw the blond gush nut from his side? The witness said, about five minutes. I%lr. llstoocariobstrved, that five minutes was a long time, and be requested the witness to state how he was occupied from the period he saw the prisoner strike the deceased the first blow, until be saw the blood Sowing from the deceased's wound ? The witness replied, that he was eating his dinner, and had jest got some broth, and had time between the first blow and the fatal sta► to take four spoons-full of lt, and break part of a biscuit into it ; he was eating his dinner in the ordinary way ; the broth was not over hot; he had not finished his dinner. He was quite dis gusted; he could eat no more when he saw the blood of the de ceased rush into the pea-soup. Two knives were here produced, the one with which deceased was cutting the tobacco, and the other with which he was stabbed. He identified them both. Frederick Robinson, the surgeon of the ship, proved that the wound received by Tate caused his death. He was stabbed in the right side, between the second and third ribs, penetrating the dia phragnt through the right lobe of the liver, and wounding the vena cave.—Several other witnesses were examined, but the details of their evidence were not important. The prisoner was remanded. He seems to be about 25 years of age, and throughout the whole investigation be conducted himself with the greatest firmness. ..- • - • Z ug o ffte sii elemehere ; bet *lll you`segaid and what you Let hen alien ton yiiii. lit:olive while I rUd 1 Mr. iesdlik. etatement of. the i Iteela ax 14ita thifiCent 10 September lest i I boat Steiebitle; aol~t harpoons and ha It Miami* Medi* the song out for dinner dews alit Shunt, ale other men - were at mess.

(a writ of Habeas having been previously granted.) Several affidavits were sub mitted to his Lordship, amongst others, we understand, was one from the family of the deceased, stating that they had minutely examined the circumstance. which led to this unfortunate affair, and that they considered the strict intimacy which existed between the parties to the latest moment, justified them in considering the quar rel was perfectly unpremiditated. Lieutenant Kenny, who, we understand, was much distinguished in his profession in India, appeared in extreme ill health.

MODE OF TRAVELLING.-~ Wednesday afternoon a novel mode of conveyance passed through Reading, from Bristol, on its road to London; it consisted of a light four.wheel carriage, in which were three persons, drawn by two kites. The Gentleman belonging to it was stated to be Mr. Pocock, a teacher of mathematics in Bristol, who has had it in use some time. The large kite, he said, was twenty feet high, covered with cambric muslin, with tissue paper pasted over it, and painted; its height from the ground was about one hundred and severity feet; the top or pilot kite was about the same distance from the first. The lowest kite was painted to represent a bal loon. They sere attached to the carriage by a mode rate sized cord, each kite having a separate one, the cord of the pilot passing through the first to enable the traveller, by pulling the string of the pilot, to raise the first sufficiently to clear trees or other obstructions, by the side of the road. Under the carriage was a drum and apparatus to wind the cord on or let it out at pleasure, as necessary. The carriage was guided in the same man ner as a Bath chair. Mr. Pocock said, in coming from Marlborough, he many times went at the rate of eigh• teen or twenty miles an hour. BIRTH. The 14th inst. at Edinburgh, the Lady of Dr. Short, of a Elm DIED.
