FIRES. Yerekday morning, between one and two o'clock, the inhabitants of S. Mary Axe were slat mei by cries of . 4 Fire," which had suddenly broken out in tne house No. 21-, occupied by a respectable widow Lady, natrAcl Gonne. It was :flea discovered by the watchman, and appeared to have c-zmmenced on the sec:•nd fluor. The lives of 1: ur young men, who s!ept in the attics, were exposed -to imminent risk. Some of the watchmen rushed up through clouds of smoke, in order to arouse those poor devoted beings ; hut on g soling the seco rd landing, it was ascertained that the staircase leading to their apartments had fallen in, and considerable appre hensions ss e e entertained for their safety. They were at length aroused- by the shouting of the people in the streets, and they soon after attempted to effect their retreat downwards, but the attempt was hopeless, for the stairs were now wholly consumed, and the flames wereaapldly closing around them. la this dilemma, they bethought them of georgic out on the roof, acid after some exertions they forced the attic window, which was fastened, and escaped to the leads, but not without haying been seriously °tuned on the hands and arms. The upper part of the house, however, was totally con mimed, and the rear of the next partially injured. Another fire broke out between eight and nine on Saturday night, at the house of Mr. Goodrich, cabinet maker, N 0.28, Old 'Change. It, commenced in the workshop at the rear of the premises, which are of con siderable extent. From the quantity of light timber on the spot, the flames made a rapid and terrific progress, and but for the peculiar construction of the building, which was formerly occupied by a sugar-baker, and protected by strong party walls, the adjoiniirg houses must have shared in the conflagration. The workshop, which contained a great quantity of valuable property, was completely destroyed. *Friday morning, the family of John Fitzgerald, Esq. of Portland-place, were thrown into the greatest alarm by the ay of " fire" from the nursery. The parish eogioe and several others soon arrived on the spot, and having a good supply of water, the games were soon • subdued. The fire originated in consequence of a lighted candle having been placed on the window seat, and which coming in contact wit► the curtains, set them on 6re. Considerable injury was done to the house and property. FIRE IN CANTON, . [The following is a translation, by the Rev. Dr. Morrison, of a Proclamation by the Foe Yuen of Canton, issued on occasion of the great fire in 1822. The Foo Yuen is Governor of the city, and the second mandarin of rank, being next to the Viceroy.] CUING, a Member of the Military Board at Pekin, a Censor belonging to the Board of Genet al Inspection, a Te-tuck of Canton Province, and Superintendant of the ' (kaki Tax, etc. hereby issues, a general Proclamation with the uosostearoestness, on a most important subject. On the 18th and 19th days of the Bth moon of „this yikr, in consequence of a fire occasioned by a shopman, when a mad wind blew, and the fire became furious, it was impossible for man's strength to produce any effect is arresting the progress of the flames they spread and consumed shops and houses and !tongs to a number that exceeded two thousand four hundred, and maimed and wounded into to the amount of several times ten, and destroyed the property of merchants and foreigners to the value of several hundreds of thousands of tens of thousands. The flowing gaity and glory of Canton was, all at once, consumed like the gaudy insect that rushes into the burning flames—such an event has not taken place for several hundred Yeats, You, Gentlemen, Merchants, and poor natives and foreigners, who have suffered this heaven-sent calamity, ore not the only persons whose hearts ate grieved and wounded. I, the Foo Yuen, since pay ears heard it and my eyes saw it, have not for a moment ceased to feel bodily pain anJ mental anguish, on account of it. But the proverb says--"Of every think and every filled cup there are none that are not previously fixed by fate." This judgment of fire was, no doubt, occasioned by the influences of the numerical destiny of the Pearl River (which runs past' the city and,subutb4. But I de.ire that you all, Gentlemen, Merchants, poor natives, and foreigners, will every one submit to a righteous destiny. .Do not sorrow, grieve, lament, and sigh. You must sot repine at Heaven, nor criminate man, and so in vain ' add to your trouble and vexation. But it is incumbent on you to receive the warning from heaven above. Repeot of you sins, examine yourselves, and always , preserve impressed on your minds the four words— heaved, placipks, good heart—and really acting ac cording to these, you will nut be ashamed before thi discerning gods, and, no doubt, the high Heaven will silently assist you. And how do you know, but that the residue left by the fiery flames shall re-arise in piles of gold, and heaps of gems, and tidies and honours? Yoo that have the power, are hereby commanded to hasten and re-build on the original site and foundation, which you must net overstep to encroach on your neigh hours; for if you do, so great an offence will be prose cuted and punished without mercy. As to the poor, who have beets burnt our, and have no dwelling, I have directed the local Magistrates to hasten and draw out a list of the names, and give gain and exercise compassion. As to those criminals who h we availed themselves of the fire to rob and plundtr, many have been taken, and will be severely punished; and a new search has been commenced for those not )et seized, so that not one of them may escape the net. I have also provided an additional numb. r of officers and troops to patrol the streets night and day. But if here; after any should act as incendiaries or robbers, it is allowed to country Gentlemen, Scholars, Merchants,' and poor natives, to constables and watchmen, to j in the military forces to seize the culprits; to prcreut them before the Magistrates, and if the charges be pioved, trey w ill on the spot be immediately cudgelled to death. As to the foreigners, who have iu barks passed over sets several times ten thousand miles in width, to come to our celestial empire to trade—in one morning their goods have been consumed by fire, and they have no settled pl ,ce whereupon to roost or rest--a case indeed much to be pitiesi—l hereby command all the Hong Merchants to set as is safe fur the foreigners, and settle theta in tranquil situations, that nom a theirs way be destitute of a place to I;vv ro. Let all the Military thicitrar etiontry Gentlemen, Mer- C 1124.41, pour natives, and foreigners whom this may concern, yield obed.ence thereto. Ds not oppose a;psdiad Podassaturn.

Am* 8. Clans Hakkens, a Dutchman, was Wed by a Jury consisting of half Eugli,hmen and half Foreigners, for stealing. in the dwelling-house of Mr. John George Fearn, eighty gold rings, value 1001. , and other pro perty. T-e prisoner, about six o'clock on the evening of the 16th of March, entered the shop of the prosecu tor, who is a jewella in Cornhill, and risked the shop man to shew him some mourning rings ; he had several on his fingers, and asked to look ac others, as they were too small. The shopman was in the act of reaching ever the tray of rings, when the prisoner snatched up the first tray that had beenshewn to him, containing rings, value 1201. and ran out of the shop. He was pursued down Pope's Head Alley, along Lombard street, and was secured at bottom of Sher borne lane ; but be had nothing in his possession at the time he was stopped. The tray was picked up in the street, and also about one-fifth of the rings. The shopman spike with confidence as t the identity of the prisoner. The oisoner, in his defence, said, that he never was in the shop. Witnesses were called to character, and no man could receive a better. It also appeared that he was in the employment of Walton and Co. sugar bakers, up to the sight of the robbery; that he was courting a daughter of a respectable trade man, and was on the point of marriage. The Recommit summed up the case; and said, if the Jury could entertain a doubt of his being the person who committed the capi tal felony, they would pronounce a verdict is his favour. Verdict-- Guilty but recommended to mercy on account of his former cha racter. The Recorder seriously admoMbhed him to prepare fur the worst. John Chick and George Burke stood indicted for as saulting Mr. Thomas Wardle, a silk mercer, on the King's highway, the 7th of March last, and stealing from his person a gold watch, with appendages, valued at upwards of twenty guineas. The Jury consulted together about twenty minutes, when they acquitted Burke and found Chick Guilty—Deatk. Catherine Clarke alias Pitt, was indicted far violently assaulting hoe Stanley on the King's highway, and taking fromler person a muff and tippet, and Bs.6d. in money. The prosecutri: stated, that she had dis charged a hackney coach that she had been riding in, in St. John's street, between ten and eleven rclock on Monday evening last. The prisoner followed her for some distance, as she was- going towards her home in the City-road. When in Wilderness-row the prisoner knocked her cloven And took the articles charged in the indictment from her. The prisoner in her defence said that the prosecutrix was an unfortunate woman like herself; they were en intimate terms with each other, and had been drinking gin until they had because "elewaited." The prowess& was recalled, and indignantly repelled the accu sation, and called the constable and watchman to contradict the so u rtien. Verdict, Gatiley—Droth. Mr. Serjeant A RABIN observed, that she had greatly aggravated the offence by the insinuation she had made against an innocent woman. That she was evidently a most abandoned character, and that it was , not for gotten that she had a narrow escape from forfeiting her life about six years since on a charge of murder, for throwing a man out of a, window in Charles -street, Drury-lane. Jareph Lock and Jaen Sea were indicted foe a burglary in the dwelling house of John Froggittoud stealing two coats, and sundry articles of trifling value. The case was eleariy proved, and the Jury found the prisoner Gad* MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL S.. . Mr. ADOLPHUS moved the judgment of the Court on John Iluomphrey, who on Friday pleaded Guilty to an indictment, charging him with publishing certain books, of an obscene and immoral tendency. He was sentenced to two months imprisonment. Thomas Parton and Elixakdk Berkeley stood indicted for maliciously administering eight grains of tartar emetic to Nathaniel Cross,a private in the Guards, with intent to do him bodily injury. The prosecutor,it may be remembered, was billetted at the Bunch of Grapes public-house, in Bow-street, and was sitting by the fire in the tap room, when the pri soners, out of joke, as it should seem (for being srtangers they could not be supposed to bear him any individual malice), prevailed on him to drink a glass of ale, into which they had introduced a powerful dose of tartar emetic. It was proved, that the male prisoner had asked a person to go and fetch him some, who had re fused, and the poison was eventually procured by the woman; who, not being able to get the quantity she wanted at the fi rst chem ist's, went to two others, pur , chasing some of each, and thus making a dose which had very nigh proved fatal to the man, who, from its consequences, remained in a state of insensibility during the whole of that night and the following day. Verdict—Giiilts. Sentenced each of them to six months' imprkonment. William Savage, a man well-known in the Prise-ring, stood in dicted for assaulting his own daughter-in-law, as luteresting young girl, thineeo years old, with Intent to commit a rape. • The tale told by like girl, corroborated as it was by the evidence et the lodgers in the house ' who heard the child's screams, and by the surgeon, who had examined her person, left no doubt of his guilt; and the Courtofter remarking on the enormity of his coo -1 duct, sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, and hard labour. INQUSST OW . THS K IWO ON TIM BSCIOARS.—Friday, an Inquest was held at the Rose and Bell public-house, Ilankside, Southwark, on the body of a little, diminu tive, and deformed mast, named Andrew Weston, who had been denominated King of the Beggars by some persons, in consequence of bis having been a mendicant Aeon the streets of the metropolis, particularly in the neighbourhood of Blackfriars, for the last twenty years. —The deceased was a r emarkably little man, and travelled along the streets in a small wheeled carriage, w hich he impelled along by the use of crutches. He drank usually to excess, and it appeared from the evi dence of a surgeon that he died of apoplexy, and not from his being parried home (as was stated) head down wards, when intoxicated. The " Resurcectiouists" were on the M look out" for his body, and it was stated that the surgeons were exceedingly anxious to get it for alla tomic.l purposes. When alive, he was about two feet fo.ir niche, in height, and was thirty-thee inches round the body, twenty-seven inches round the hea.4, and thirteen inches from the chin to the crown. From the heel to the knee-joint, he measured sixteen inches, ten from the knee-joint to the hip-bone, and seven inches and a quarter round the wrist; be was double jointed, and possessed considerable strength, particularly in the hand. Several anecdotes of " LittleAodrew's" amours, disappointments, &c. were related by some of the Juror s ; who finally remelted a verdict—Died of Apoplexy.— The day after the Inquest sat on the body, it was con veyed to St. Saviour, burial round, and interred in grave dug fourteen feet in depth from the surface, over which were placed thrib other coffins, in order it; secure it against tt.e resurrection men, who- were anxious to have the corpse to dispose of. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • MANSION HOUSE. • -41.1111rday, gale, who was a few days ago charged with ImviMEMolen a watch and seal, the property of Mr, Wright, of the NAOMI public-house, was this day brought up fur further era. mismtloo. When the former evidence was read over, a pawn braes stated that the prisoner bad pawned the watch.at his house on the day It was taken from the Dolphin public-house. - Heaketh and Martin, tha officers, took care to lay their hands upon everything that was likely to give an insight into the former, life of the priaoner, and they laid before the Lord Mayor a great number of papers, which fully explained the nature of the trade in which be had been extensively engaged with other persons. The Loan Mayo& asked, whether there were any other persons who had anything to say against the pawner ? Mt. Lake, an attorney, stated, that he had been dining at a public-house where the prisoner was also dining in February lase. After dinner, having occasion tor some snuff, he handed his snuff boa, which was of silver, to the waiter (perhaps through the pri soner), mitt it filled, giving sixpence to him 'at the same time., The waiter, upon returning, held over the box towards him , but the prisoner, being closer to the waiter, took it, and immediately decamped with it. From that day to the present witness never beheld him. _ _ The prisoner's solicitor said, he could prove, with respect to the first case, that his client had returned to the Dolphin. public-house the day after he had taken' the watch, which, although it was pawned, had really been merely taken in a lark. And as fur the second, hAhought an action in trover was the mode of recovery. The Loan Maros said, it appeared to him that a downright felony dad been committed in each case, and that if actions in trover were the only course to be resorted to in such cases, there would be an infinite number of them every day, and all the thieves in London would be the defendants. His Lordship then said, that coupling the circumstances of the two eases, with the fact of the detecting of so abominable vsystern of swindling as it was evident the prisoner bad been engaged iti. it was impossible not to believe that he was quite serious In appro. priatiug both the watch and the snuff-box to his own purposes. He (the Loa. Mavoc) had seen, upon looking over the pliers, that a regular system had been acted upon, fur the purpose of im posing Oil the public to an enormous extent. The prisoner had received instructions, with which it appeared he bad complied to the letter, from other persons who seemed to have a greater com mand of money and address. He had taken a counting-house, given it the appearance of great business, obtained referehces, and it was evident from the bill book, that bills to the amount of ael 0,000 had been drawn by the confederates of the prisoner, and that several of them had been negociated. He regretted to per. ceive that some of those bills, amounting to £BOO or £l,OOO had been passed off upon a respectable merchant. As such proceedings were of the most destructive nature, he should consult the City Solicitor upon the subject of prosecuting the whole gang for a con spiracy. In the mean time, however, he should fully commit the prisoner upon the two charges of felony. Nightingale was then fully committed to prison. The Justice Room was crowded to excess during the examination. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CA 1111MIDGIC, Arau. 7.
