Smith s and yesterday the Philoniel, 10, Commander Hawes, arrived at Spithead from the Mediterranean. The latter vessel sailed hum Malta on the 13th ult. By these vessels we learn that Count Heyden, with the Russian aqua. dron, is progressively extending his blockade of the Alussulman's dominions, ostensibly to prevent supplies of provisions reaching Constantinople, and to cut off communication between Egypt and Candi.. The latter seriously Hines our cotton trade from the Nile, and the former is a considerable annoy ante to our Levant %lade. The Russians have very vet ently declared the whole of the coast between the Gulf of Saros and the Gulf n f Contessa to be included in the Dardanelles blockade. This comprehends all the sea side of Rumelia ; and Admiral Ricurd, consequently, had sent away some lonian vessels laden with rice, bound to Enos. Info?. relation had arrived at Sniyrna of the Russian Black Sea squadron having landed 5,000 troops at Siziboli, a tows and fortress on the south point of the Gulf of Bourgm. The town they had destroyed; the fortress still re. malted in their possession, as well as two small islands which secure the anchorage; and the fleet had proceeded tri Varna and Odessa for additional traps. The Greets also were pushing forward very successfully. Admiral Maul's having taken .the Castle of Leparoo. end' ..46enerni Church the fortress of Vonitza, in the-Gulf of . Arta.. On thepthei hand, it was ufficially known that the Porte was making extraordinary efforts to meet the exigencies of the approaching campaign, and there is no probability of the renewal of hostilities being avoided. . It is expected the Sultan will proceed to Adrianopl.r. previously 'Wring the fortresses, and acquainting him self with the nature of his resources at the Dardanelles. Though the public are seduced to feed on bad bread and scanty supplies, abundance of every thing is re served for the troops, which has greatly added to their lumbers. They are now receiving from every side the necessary supplies of corn; so that in a very 'host time the object of the blockade of the Dardanelles will be entirely defeated, if we except the distress it occasioned amongst the Christian population. The Turkish fleet had gone up near the mouth of theffisphor us, coosotine of five ships of the line, tour frigates, and four or five small vessels; rind to inctease this force, 1.100 seams had lmely reached Constantinople from Alexandria. When thePhilomel left Malta there was one Russian lire ' of b. t le strip and two frigates refitting in great haste to join the main body of their squads on in the Arciapel *there was r.o: much familiarity observed between the squadron.. Theßussians were in constant di cad of Si t P. Males , ittio receiving orders to raise all their blockade.. Sir Pulteney hiniseU was about to quit Malta, no a short cruise, with the Asia, hpattiate, Windsor Castle, and Wellesley.

An loque.t on the bodies of five of the sufferer io the late calamitous fire that took plgce on Thursday night was held on Saturday at St. Geotge's workhouse. The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to tike a view of the remains which had been dug out of the ruins, and which presented the usual melancholy appearance. . , On their return several witnesses were examined. and from their testimony it appeared. that the fife was first discovered about ten minutes before midnight. at which time ti.e flame was perceived through the shop Shutt rs of the house, which belonged to a furniture broker, of the name of Pick. The names of the in mates of the house were—Mr. and Mrs. Pick, and a child that Mrs. Pick had had by a former marriage, of the name of Mary Ann Clinch; Mrs. Gregory and her infer t, about three months old, and her sister, whose name was Eliza Robbenet. There was also the errand boy, of the name of John Field, all of whom are sup posed to have been burned, although the bodies of the list five only have as yet been discovered. A man of the name it Cook, who is the private watchman of St. George's Market, was among the first on the spot after the fire broke out. A woman told him of it out of a window in the merket.'and he immediately ran to the, horse; just as be got there he found two or three per sons eagerly engaged in breaking down the shop shutters, in the hope of being able to save the furni ture; but finding that he could be of little use there, he act rou:id to the back of the premises, and as sisted by two or three young men, he silo seeded in detaching a platform from the premises, by which the fire was pre vented from extending itself to some work shops. This witness appeared to think that the re gular watchman of the beat had been very remiss, for although his watch•box was not above half a dozen yards from Mr. Pick's house. he did not make his ap pearance fur ten minutes after the fire was discovered. Those who were engaged in removing the shutters of the shop soon succeeded in their attempt ; but though this was the means of saving a little of the furniture, the Coroner strongly deprecated the course pursued, as it was necessarily the means of admitting a strong draught of air to the flames, and adding a vigour to the fire which before was wanting. In his opinion. had every thing been kept closed, and the inmates th 'roughly alarmed, they might have contrived to make their escape; but as soon as the under part of the house was once thrown open to the air, the stair caw acted as if it were a chimney, and the whole of the fire and the smoke issued up it with such violence as effectually to prevent any escape that way. Shortly alter the first alarm of fire was given, a woman wi h an infant in her arms was seen standing at the second floor window, as if for help; but no sooner were the shutters removed than the smoke mounted upwards in such volumes that she was no longer able to retain her situation. The next door neighbour, Mr. Sewed. find ing that all hope of escape that way was lost, ascended to the trap door at the roof of his own house, to see it any assistance could be rendered them. He had not been many minutes there before Mr. Pick made his appearance from the trap door of his house, with no other garment on than bissahirt,and with some difficulty was assisted into Mr. Smeed's parlour. All the witnesses a ho saw the unfottunate man agreed in describing him to have been in an almost distracted state, and so highly agitated that he appeared quite unable to understand, what he was about. The e facts having appeared in evidence, Mr. Pick was called upon by the Coroner to state what he knew of the melancholy transactions. Mr. Pick, in obedience to this call, stated, that he had spent a portion of the evening previous to the fire at the Princess of Wales, a public-house near his own residence, and that at a quarter before eleven he 'owned home. He and his wit . - had a broiled mackerel for supper, which was cooked and eaten in the back parlour, and then, having taked out the fire, they re lied to test—probably about 20 minutes past 11. He could hardly tII whether he had been asleep or not, when he was roused by the cry of " fire," un which he threw up the s indow, and saw that the persons beneath had succeeded in removing one of the shutters; on this he roused his wife and the lodgers in the nest room, and they endeay. wed to make their escape down stairs, but miter descending a stair or two, they found the pro. gress that way was impracticable; the witness then be came so confounded with alarm and agitation. that he could scarcely tell what subsequently took place; as far as he remembered, he got a chair from his bedroom, and by that means made his escape through the II ip-inne and down the nest house, as described by Mr. Smeed. He bad no doubt if the shutters of I Me shop had not been so suddenly removed, they might all have been able to make theo escape, fur they had only to descend about eight or tea steps to get to the platform which led to his workshoo ; the smoke, however, was so overpowering, that, as he had stated b tore, they were obliged to return..atter having descending a stair or two. He did not know whether the house was insured, bet he had insured his fur niture and goods in the Hand-in-Hand Assurances Offices for SOUL The father of Mrs. Pick appeared to think that there was souse co f psis u about the time that elapsed between Mr. Pick's return home and she breaking nut of she fire. Mr. Pick had told him on the morning alter the fire, that he did not worn home till a groaner after eleven. and he cet tainly thought that bons a quarter after eleven till ten mina es to twelve (the hou. at which all agreed the fire ass first di.envered) was a very ►hort time lot a mackerel to be cooked and eaten, a pot of beer to be drunk, Mr. and Mrs. Pick to go to bed and be asleep, especially as the fire must have been smouldering ter some time bef ire it was discovered. Mr. Pick denied that he bad said that it was a quarter after 11 that he returned home; it was a quarter before 11, and be could bring a witness to rove it; neither had he said that he had been sleep; be had told the Coroner that he could not be sure on that point, as be had been roused so abruptly, and so alarmed and con- fused since. A tradesn.an, and relative of Mr. Pick,who had spent the evening with him at the Princess of Wales, stated that he lat Mr. Pick at his own door at a quarter be. tore 11 ; Mr. Pick was quite sober at the time, and both he and another, who was with them, drank out of the pot of gent before Mr. Pick carried it in-doors for his supper. In answer to a question trans the Coroner, Mr. Pick said that he could not form the least idea bow the fire originated. The CORONER said that the whole of the evidence having been gone through, it did not appear that there was the slight. st ground for insinuating that the fire was other than accidental; and the Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict accordingly. .
