This morning, a fire broke out at Mr. LIDDIARD*S house, the sign of the Cannon, in Cannon -street, St. George's in the East, which totally consumed the house, and damaged the adjoining premises. The. Principals in the Glove and Leather Trades, at Worcester, are preparing memorials to the Legislature, pointing out the difficulties and distress which now pervade those interests in every branch, both as regards masters an.' men, and praying that the anticipated measures, to which their origin is manifestly owing, m3y be suspended for the present.

It will be recollected, that it was provided by the Act passed last year for lowering Custom Duties, that it should be lawful for his MAJ!STY to order an addi tional fifth to be collected on the goods imported in the ships of any country which levied higher duties upou those imported in British ships than in its own national vessels. The Netherlands having fallen into the prac tice contemplated by this Act, the Gazette of last night contains a Proclamation, ordering " a further duty, amounting to one-fifth part of the existing duties," to be levied on all goods brought by Netherland ships.-- Another Proclamation, acting on the same principle and for the same reasons, imposes a countervailing ton nage duty of 11.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. The following instructions for entering Table Bay by night, have bees transmitted by the Agent to Lloyd's at the Cape of Good Hope. dated the 21st of Novem ber, 1825. They have been constructed on the obser vations made by his Majesty's ship Leven, November, 1825. The bearings mentioned in these instructions are all by compass or magnetic: Ist. To enter Table Bay from the northward, mean ing to pass outside of Robin Island. A ship sl•ould keep the light to the E istward of South, nine degrees East, or about South and by East, until she gets sound ings under 20 fathoms, at a little more than a mile from the light-house; she may then steer E.S.E. or E. by S. not to come under 10 or 12 fathoms until the light bears W.S.W. she may then steer for the an chorage, and may anchor in from seven to six fa thoms water, as soon as the li A hts are shutting in be hind the Lion's Tail. This track leads about a mile clear of danger on Green Point, but a ship need not approach it so near, if she have, by seeing Robin Island, ascertained by its bearings that she is clear of the Whale Rock, in which case she may round it at a greater dis tauce from Green Point, if desirable; but the soundings in that case will not alone be a sure guide. 2. In coming from the S.W. a ship should not get less than 40 fathoms before the light bears S.E. or E.S.E. nor less than 20 fathoms before it bears S. by E. when the preceding directions may be followed. From the northward, inside of Robin Island, the light should be kept about S.W. by S. until a ship have passed that island, in doing which she may have some casts from eight to six fathoms ; and when on that course, the water deepens to 11 or 12 fathoms, she may steer for the an chorage by the plan, as before directed. In beating round Green Point, a ship should never shoal her water under 11 or 12 fathoms, until she have brought the light to bear W.S.W. as before said. In beating between Robin Island and the Main, to enter Table Bay, the soundings may be taken from the island, as it shoals so, very regularly. In standing towards the Matin, it ap pears prudent to tack at the first cast of the lead after the waver shoaling. In these directions it is taken for granted, that a ship will always keep her leads going. By day, or when the Ames or surf can be seen, or, indeed, under any circumstances, the plan ought to be a sufficient guide. There are twn lights in the Light-house, which are in one, about S.W. by S. These appear to be of no other use than to assure the navigator which is the Light-house, if he should see other lights. We have Seen the lights clearly off deck at 16 miles distance; but they will not make cle.irly as two lights until within six or seven miles to the westward of them, and from the northward one light only will he seen.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The new opera of Ma bum was repeated last night with increased success and general applause. The acting of Mr. WALLACK and Miss KELLY was in every instance highly interesting and impressive; the songs (all adapted to Scotch and Irish tunes) were given with great effect, particurarly those allotted to Miu STKPII ENS, Miss Po vizir, and Mr. Hoax; and the finely picturesque and beautiful scenery excited most justly the universal ad miration of a crowded and elegant audience. The last scene of the Mountain Torrent presented one of the most effective objects of the kind we have ever witnessed on any stage.

KALL, DRC: V. OMURA HOSPITAL. This was a suit claiming 1,2001. now lying in the coffers of Chelsea Hospital, which was alleged to be due to Sir Robert Hall, as prize money. It appeared, that in 1798, Genoa and its depen dencies were captured by a combined force of British men-of war, and a hod, of Sicilian trnops. One of the • vessels was commanded by Sir R bert Hall, who at the time of the capture was acting as Illigadier-Ge nei al of the 4icilian troops, the command of his vessel being entrusted to the First Lieutenant. In the distri bution of the prize-money, however, the Naval Com missioners allotted Sir Robert Hall his full share of 7001. as Commander of a King's ship, and the Sicilian Com missioners awarded him a further sum of 1,2001. This latter sum Sir Robert never claimed, and it was, after some time, paid into Chelsea Hospital. Lord SrowELL expressed his decided opinion, that S r Robert was only entitled to receive in the higher capa city. The payment of 7001. to him by direction of the' Naval Commissioners was made in error, and that that sum ought to have been distributed among the Officers, who had his duties to perform in addition to their own.. With respect to the 1,2001. now claimed, the Court could only act upon the Order of Council issued at the time, which directed that the share allotted to the Sicilian army should be paid into the hands of the Minister for that country, resident here. The Court, therefore, or dered the money to be paid into that Minister's hands, and advised the representatives of the deceased to me morialiae the King of Sicily on the subject. The Committee at Quebec for the Relief of the Mira michi Sufferers, presented an address to the Earl of DALHOUSIC on the 28th of December, in which they stated, that through the genero,ity and humanity of the neighbouring towns and provinces, they had been enabled to place those unfortunate persems in a situa tion of comparative comfort, and provided against the inclemencies of winter. The severity of that season in Canada, may be estimated, when it is stated that at I Montreal, on the 14th of December, the thermometer stood at 22 deg. below zero. A project is in hand, to make a canal from Lewes to Brighton, for the double purpose of carrying goods, and supplying both places with pure running spring water from the excellent and abundant springs near Southover, called the Coch-hut and Spring Ditch. The House in which the Representatives of Kentucky was sitting took fire about the middle of December, 'and was entirely consumed. The House was in Session when the fire was discovered ; every effort to arrest the, progress of the flames proved ineffectual.—The Metho-1 dist Church was immediately tendered and accepted by the Members for their use during the rest of the Session. A letter from our Consul at Tripoli, dated Decem ber 7th, states, that letters and journals had been re ceived from Major LAIN% dated from Gadamas, in November, stating that he calculated on being at Tim buctoo about the 10th December. It is proposed to erect a breakwater in the Delaware Bay. During the last twenty-three months, fitty-one wrecks, or partial wrecks, have occurred in the Dela ware.within a few miles of the point where it is proposed to erect a breakwater; and it as said the United States have, within a few years, lost in the diminution of duties alone, a sum that would have been sufficient to build it.—Savannah • The house of a decent - fsrmer, named Michael Car roll, at Bridgetown, county of Clare, was entered on Thursday night, by a number of persons armed with pitchforks and sticks, who viole. tly assaulted and wounded Michael.

There was a superabundance of fighting men, but there was not a Gentleman present to be dis appointed. The Cematinorts General announced that the Champion of England was near at band, and he had, blunt, with assthorisat to back him against Ward, for 5001. Crawley mounted the wage, and said 4 " Gentlemen, I am willing to fight Ward, or any man in England; I ant ready to make it for 5001. and I will wait two hours at Tom Cribb's to deposit 201. and to make as much mote of it as Ward's backers like, the next day."

RRIIARICABLI ZSCAPR OF A Fox.—Thursday last Lord Parses hounds found a fox at Nose Wood, near Billericay, which, after leading them a long chace, hid himself in a-cart in a farm-yard, near Parndon Wood; but findiug his gamer: grow warm, and that he was likely to be ejected somewhst roughly if he remained, he took to the field just as the hounds approached, and, after an arduous run. Bed for succour to Stock village, where he selected the baker's residence as best calcu lated for his safety, and here the scent was lost, the fumes of the smoking joints, which had just been re moved, confusing the fine noses of his pursuers. About two hours after, a little boy informed Mr. Matthaei, that he had observed reynard at a window of the bake• house, endeavouring to make his escape. When Mr. M. entered, he found the arch rogue employed at a small looking-glass which hung in the window adjust ing his whiskers, which had become quite fashionable, and reached in a circle directly round his china Mr. M. immediately pinned him to the ground with' a fork, and, after securing, sent him to Thuradon Hall, for another day's sport, A Correspondent in a Morning Paper alluding to the circumstance of Sadler's Wells, the New Surrey, and Coburg Theatres, being open on Monday, the anniversary of the artyrdom of King Charles the First, whilst the performances at the Theatres Royal Drury lane and Covent-garden, and at the Adelphi Theatre, were suspended till next day, says, .This, in my opinion, deserves the attention of tire Lord Chamberlain's office."
