CALAMITOUS FIRE. (rearnrlt TA STICULAW4). HALIFAX, SEPTEMBF.It 17. The conflagration this morning was one of the ' most awful and destructive ever witnessed in Halifax. It originated in Sackville-street, in the bakery occu pied by Shay and Milany, and before it was dis covered had gained an alarming height. It was nearly two o'clock when the bells were rung. The troops, seamen of his Majesty's ships, and inhabi tants, soon assembled ; the eng►nes were judiciously placed, lines formed to different reservoirs of water, and every exertion made to extinguish the fire, but we regret to state, that before any check could be given to ir, the whole block of buildings, with the exception of a house situated at the corner of Sacl:- •ille and Blowers-streets, occupied by Mr.H.Croskill, the houses occupied by Mrs. Neilson, and Mr. I'. Nuirhead, in Barrington-street, and. a stable be longing to J. W. Johnston, Esq. in Granville-street, were consumed. For some time great apprehensions were enter tained that the fire would extend to the houses on the opposite side of the streets, but fortunately it did not. Some buildings were scorched, and nearly every pane of glass in the front of the residence of S. B. Robie, Esq. was destroyed by the excessive heat of the fire. Of the property burnt only about £1,500 were insured, and the calamity has mostly fallen where it will long be severely felt—upon widows and orphan children—upon industriotis tradesmen, whose whole stock of worldly wealth was invested in. the tenements they occupied. We cannot now particu larise the individual sufferers, but shall endeavour to do it in our next. Te the troops, and the seamen of the ships of war, the town is, as usual, greatly indebted for the exer tions made by them ; among the most active on this distressing occasion, we noticed his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, encouraging and exciting, by his influence and example, the efforts of every per-. sat' within his view. Sir Robert Le I'oer Trench, (Colonel of the 74th regiment, who arrived here on Friday from New Brunswick), Colonel Mackie (the Commandant of the Garrison), Colonel Gauntlett, Lieutenant-Colonels Arnold, Ximines, and Water house, Major Crawford, and indeed every Officer of the Garrison and Military Departments, were dis tinguished for their activity and exertions. To Captains Einshawe, Bourchier, Collier, and Na pier, and the Officers of their ships, every praise is due. They directed the efforts of the seamen in the most advantageous manner. We must here particu larly notice the intrepid conduct of Captain Napier. We observed him on the roof of one of the houses, directing and working with a party of axe•men, and rendering very important services. Twenty-one houses were consumed, with other valuable property. IRELAND. LONDONDERRY ASSIZES.-AFFAIR OF HONOUR. TRIAL BY ORDER OW THE COURT OF KING'S BENCH, UPON A CRIMINAL. INFORMATION, FILED BY JOHN SHIEL, ESQ. D. MAJOR JOSEPH PATTERSON. Mr. Ton RENS stated the case on behalf of Mr. Shiel, who, he said, is a gentleman of considerable property, and a Magistrate for the Counties of Antrim and Derre. A dispute took place between Major Patterson and Mr. Shiel ; they went to near Dublin to settle their dispute, but, previous to their meeting, two Gentle men settled the business. All parties were satisfied, and the arrangement of the affair was put in the newspaper. Mr. Torrent here read the paragraph in question, which was to the following effect: " The difference between John Shiel, of Castleclawson, Esq. and Major Patterson, of Oracefiekl, has been settled to the honour and satisfaction of both parties. and in a manner pointed out by us. " FITZIIERBER BUNION, "Ashbouine. Aug. 14. (.; EOliG I:. RP IN TA G GAWP." This took place, it appears, on the 14th August,lB2o, and the part - es then separated. Mr. Shiel remained from that period until the 24th of November in this country, when he was greatly astonished at receiving a most gross and insulting letter from Major Patterson. The letter was followed up by posting, in different parts of the country, notices similar to the words con tained in the letter. These notices were to this effect : 1 am necessitated to publish J. Shiel, Esq. of Castledavrson, as a complete bully, and a most contemptible coward; and have only to add, that I shall be at home until the 7th inst. " Graceheld, Dec. 1, ISM. " JOi. PATTERSON." Mr. Shiel then preferred bills of indictment against Mr. Patterson, at Magherafelt Sessions, which were held the January following ; but, strange to tell, after these letters and papers were sent up to the Gland Jury, they ignored the bills. Mr. Shiel then, ap plied to the Court of King's Bench, which instantly granted the Rule for a criminal information, notwith standing Major Patterson put upon his affidavit the whole of the transaction. John Shiel, Esq. sworn, examined by Mr. SPEER.— Knows Major Joseph Patterson; had a meeting with him in August, 1820, at Drogheda, in consequence of a disagreement between witness and Major Patter son. When they met, they adjourned to a place called Ashbourne, near Dublin; it was there agreed that the matter in dispute should be submitted to two friends, who settled it. These Gentlemen took down in writing the statements of both parties, and they made Major Patterson and witness pledge their ho nours to abide by their decision; Major Patterson made his statement first, witness then made his; they were examined separately, and not in the presence of each other : the Gentlemen said there was no differ ence between the two statements; the arbitrators de sired that witness should make an apology, for some harsh words which he had made use of towards Major Patterson, which he accordingly did, and he (witness) then conceived all matters to be finally and amicably settled : from that until the '24th of No • vember, he never did anything to offend Mlijor Patterson; knows Major Patterson's hand-writing, and proves the letter before read ; he received it on the 24th of November, at Castledawson ; he saw the notice the 2d of December; it was brought to him by - Mr. Robert M'Crory ; witness made no reply to the letter of the 24th of November. Cross-examined by Mr..Jounsvos.—Major Pat terson was in the army abroad ; came home to his father's after he obtained the rank of Major : in a let ter he addressed to a third person, witness charm>. terised Major Patterson as a hireling; he would not have called him so, only he was told Major Patter- son was put forward by others, and that witness tm derstood he had spoken disrespectfully of him, and he told Major Patterson so at Ashbourne, who de nied having said anything disrespectful of wit nets, but, on the contrary, spoke in the highest terms of his honour and courage; the letter was written to a person who was acting as Major Patterson's friend, and believes be styled that person a ruffian ; the Bth of May, 1820, the origin of this business took place, at Knockcloughram ; on that occasion Major Patter son acted the part of a peace-maker; witness and Captain Graves met there with a hostile purpose, in consequence of a message he had received from Cap tain Graves; witness then said, that all the disputes between him and Major Patterson were before the Gentlemen who settled the matter at Ashbourne ; the, apology was accepted by Major Patterson, and all then concluded; Major Patterson came to him at Knockcloughrarn, and wished to have the dispute settled, and he told Major Patterson if he could arrange the matter in the way he (witness) then mentioned, he would have great pleasure, and it was done so ; a publication of the transaction ap peared in the Belfast Paper ; the witness knew nothing of it till about nine o'clock, the evening he ft), e the Paper was published, and did not see it till he read it in the Paper. Major Patterson sent wit ness a copy of the second publication, but he did not get it till after he read it in the Paper. Witness was told there'was a publication sent to the Chronicle un-, favourable to him, and he sent off one also; it was in consequence of that he received the message from Majoi Patterson, which he accepted. They met at Duman and supposes there were 200 persons present. Believes Major Patterson might • have been killed, only for witness; his horse was thrown out of the church-yard, over the wall, and received some in jury; the people had nothing but sticks; heard buzzes, and believes they were for him ; there was a corre spondence between him and Mr. A.Graves on this business—(A copy of a letter written by witness to Mr. Graves was handed to witness).—As nearly as he can recollect, it contains the substance of his letter. He authorized Mr. John Balfour to write and act for him, he being his friend on the occasion—(Copy of a letter written by Mr. Balfour produced, and handed imits the Quarter Session Grand Jury ignored the bills sent up by him against Major Patterson; he cannot tell what became of the originals of those let ' ters ; they were left in the possession of the Gentle. men who settled the business at Ashbourne. Mr. Robert M'Crory sworn, examined by Mr. SIIIEL.—Found the notice already proved posted up on Castledawson-bridge; he gave it to Mr. Shiel when he got up in the morning; he saw another no tice, of a similar kind, posted on the market-house, which he pulled down, and gave it to a Mr.Larkin; he was in habits of intimacy with Mr. Shiel, and al -1 ways heard him speak highly of Major Patterson. Cross.examined by Mr. ROLLESTOL—Was at Du ncan; a great number of persons were present; he went there to see the duel; believes Mr. Shiel was as anxi ous to fight Major Patterson as the Major was to fight him ; he has a brother in Dublin, and wrote to him on the subject ; does not recollect saying it was a glorious thing to see them drive the Major away; he land Mr. Shiel did all they could to prevent the people from abusing Major Patterson or his Meas.. Counsellor JorissTos stated the defendant's case. After which, the first piece of evidence produced was a letter, dated the 27th of June, 1820, from Mr. Shiel to Mr. Alexander Gravess calling Major Patterson a hireling, &c. another letter, of 28th June, from same to same, calling him (Graves) a ruffian, &c. John Storey sworn, examined by Mr.JoaNrrott.— Witness lives •in Castledawson ; knows the parties ; heard of the meeting at Ashbourne; he was present about twelve o'clock upon a Saturday, in the street of Castledawson ; does not recollect the month, but it was about a quarter of a year ago ; he heard Mr. Shiel call Capt. Graves a coward, and that he had proved him and Major Patterson both cowards; this was after die meeting at Ashbourne ; thinks it is about a quar ter of a year from this time ; it was in spring he thinks ;* some Gentlemen were present ; Mr. Brown, Mr. Steel, and a great many more were present ; it was on a market day. After the examination of several other witnesses, and a few observations from Mi. ROLLESTON, Mr. SPEER spoke to evidence. The Learned JUDGI proceeded to comment upon and explain the law against duelling at very great length, when the Jury, without hesitation, found the defendant Guilty of the offence charged. CORK COUNTY ASSIZES.—TRIAL FOR RAPE William Capel was indicted for violating the person of Ellen Morrissey. The evidence of the prosecutrix, a young and innocent looking country girl, was given in a manner that excited the general commiseration of the Court, except in one instance, where his Lord ship (the Hon. Baron SMITH) observing some impro per levity, ordered, if it should be repeated, that the parties should be instantly committed to the dock.— The prosecutor had lived three years, in the capacity of servant, at the house of a person named Riordan, near Charleville. At an early hour of the morning, just after day-break, on a 'Thursday, about half a year ago, she went out to the field adjoining the house, and was met by the prisoner, whom in identifying she said, " There is the rogue who broke my heart. He threw her down, and against her consent violate. her person. She immediately became very unwell, but did not divulge what had happened to her until the following Saturday, because she was ashamed, and to those who inquired, said it was a blow she had got in the back. On Saturday, however, she told what had happened her, and was taken by her friends! before Mr. Russell, who, after some inquiries, took her informations. The witness was ably cross-examined by Mr. O'Coweela., on behalf of the prisoner —first, with a view to prove that she had previously had intercourse .with her master's brother, and next_ lb shew that, from not having at once charged prisoner with the act, and attributing her illness tq a blow, that she was not entitled to credit by the Jury. It was also attempted to be proved that she had offered to aban don the prosecution if she got twenty guineas from the prisoner, but this she positively denied. Her replies throughout were artless and consistent, and did not in any respect tend to impeach her first answers, or the story she had told, which was aggravated by the fact that the prisoner, though a young man, ti married and has a family. On behalf of the prisoner, Dr. Fitztaatiricep a re- spectable professional gentleman, was exam ined, who deposed that he had atte:v.led the prosecutrix, and was of opinion that the attempt made on her person had not been completed. Upon this evidence the capital charge was necessarily abandoned, and the prisoner acquitted, but his Lordship dit ected that bills should be immediately sent to the Grand Jury for the assault with intent to violate, which were ac cordingly found.

Mrs.li a l l stated, that she and her daughter went ont t l e ,„ a o'clock on Tuesday morn , r,g, having pre:iously fas tened the house. She had no servant, and inte n d ed returning at an early hour in the evening. u poi their return to Camberwell, about seven o'cloct i. the evening, Mrs. Kalil was struck %%ith asto n i,h; ment at seeing a light appearing and disappearing at the windows of her house ; and as she had never ae thorised any person to take charge of it under suc h, circumstances, she immediately imagined the wort that could happen ; hut instead of making a d i e that might alarm the thieves, as most other feu* wouid have done, she quietly went to some of bd neighbours and communicated her suspicions, am promptly received their assistance. They could id no marks of violence on the doers or window•sb d . tens, nor could they hear voices or footsteps in& house. Mrs. Kahl's friends, unwilliug to diem what was going forward within, to the prejudiced justice, procured a ladder, and quietly placed it a the back part of the house, reaching the windowd the first floor, when several of diem entered with* making the least noise, and upon walking a stairs, and opening the front parlour door, sawo s their great surprise, the two prisoners playing game of backgammon. They were sitting topic on a sofa, and had the backgammon-table berm them. One of them instantly started up and said " We'll make no resistance." They accordirielvsnl mitted quietly. On examination, it was found the house had been ransacked from top to boa % and some plate that had been tied up in a mane / was found on the table. In the bag were sonny spoons, which Mrs. Kahl had left locked up Mac" board. In different parts of the house were kande extensive assortment of house-breaking instr picklock keys, crows, &c.—also phosphores ai matches. One of the keys which lay on the di opened the hall door, just as if it had been madefe `it, from which it was presumed that the thievestai entered at that door. Several of Mrs. Kahl's tieii• hours who had come forward to her assitance,r, firmed the most important parts of her sumer, The Magistrate complimented Mrs. Kahl very highly on the prudent manner in which she had acted for apprehending the prisoners. They vim both lull committed for ti sal. . • A young man belonging to the Post Office, ni [ tad the folly to treat two common prestitutesint public-house, complained that they had robbed hi of a sovereign, in Counter-street, in the Borough, The sovereign was found in the posses!-ion of oeel the girls, who did not deny that it had inn* belonged to the complainant, but declated thug had received it from him as a present.

Gutikuram.. * Yesterday, Mary Williams and Ann Gordon, whose previous exanainations have been be fore the Public, were brought up for a final hearing, and fully committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. Boor man, whose attendance was expected, did not make his appearance; he had, however, seen the lasses at the Giltspiir-street Compter, and knew them directly as the gills by whom he had been accosted in Skin ner-street, on the evening when he lost his pocket book ; he had al,o identified the £lO note of the Rye Bank, found on Miss Williams, as his property. The girls had probably seen, or heard of, the account in the newspapers of their very dashing appearance, and had in consequence altered their chess to the very picture of neatness ; a plain Norwich shawl covered the neat coloured gown of each of them, from which every vestige of trimming had been removed ; their bonnets no longer displayed either bows or feathers, and their tout ensemble might have passed for a per sonification of demureness. Jan Davis and Charles.llideson, the two lads who were examined on Tuesday, on the charge of stealing some wearing apparel • from a portmanteau in the Southampton waggon, which the humanity of the driver had afforded them rest and shelter in, were again brought up. The owner of the portmanteau at tended and identified the property : he, however, ex pressed great unwillingness to prosecute ; he was himself, he said, the father of a family, and could not but feel for the youth of the prisoners, who, he hoped, would take warning from the awful situation in which they had placed themselves. The mother of Hideson . was present, and gave her son a good cha racter, as well as his companion, whom she also knew as an industrious lad. The prisoners, by their own account; being tired of being out of employ, had ac companied a sailor lad to Portsmouth, with a view of getting a birth on board ship, in which their com panioa was successful, but they knowing nothing of the sea, were refused, and were making their way back to London again, when the waggoner consented to give them a lift on the road. They pleaded dis tress and hunger as the inducement to the offence they had committed. Under these circumstances, the Alderman permitted them to be discharged, after a suitable admonition. Bow•STßET.—Yesterday, John Elwyn Dickson, a respectable-looking middle-aged man, was charged ' before the sitting Magistrate by Sir Mark Wood, Ba ronet, under the Statute of the 51 Gco. 111. cap. 63, for fraudulently embezzling and applying to his own use, a check for the sum of £5B. Os. 4d. which had been intrusted to him for a special purpose.—Sir Mark Wood stated, that the prisoner had formerly been in his employment, as a sort of clerk; and since he quitted his service,. he had employed him occa sionally in matters obusiness. On or about the 26th of June last, witness gave him a check upon Messrs. Hammersley and Co. his bankers, with directions to get it cashed, and to pay the money to Smith and Gell, his Attornies, in New Basingliall-street, for a particular purpose. The money was paid to the de fendant at the banking-house, but he never paid it over to Smith and Gell.. lie absconded, and witness understood he had been dashing about, with one or two women whom he had in keeping. A Police officer had had a precious chace after him, but could never find him.—The defendant began his answer to the charge by stating, that he attended here voluntarily, at the mere request of Sir Mark Wood. He was em ployed by the Baronet, at his seat at Gatten, from March, 1818, to the same month in 1820, as a clerk ; and subsequently he did business for him on various occasions as an Attorney. Sir Mark had in June last given instructions to Smith and Gen to tax the bill of a Mr. Swan ; and on the 26th, the check in ques tion was given to him (the defendant) for the purpose of being paid over to Smith and Gal as a portion of that bill. The same day, however, it was intimated to him by a letter, written, as he understood, by de sire of Sir Mark, that the latter had altered his mind and would not have the bill taxed. He did not there fore pay the money to Smith and Gell. He certainly received it, but theme was an unsettled account be tween him and Sir Mark for business done.—Sir M. Wood denied that he owed the defendant a farthing, and said he had never employed him as an Attorney ; he never could have been such a blockhead as to employ such a man as an Attorney.—The defendant persisted in his story.—Sir Mark Wood said he had the impudence of the very d-1 himself, for there was not a word of truth in it!—Mr. MtxattuLLsaid, it was clear that the defendant had applied the money to his own use, and he must answer for it.—He was ordered to find sureties, himself in £2OO, and two responsible housekeepers in £lOO each, for his future appearance, and was ordered to be detained until those sureties were found. John Elting ford anA Joseph Fair were charged with being receivers of stolen goods. Davis and Read, two of the patrol, in consequence of private in formation, went on Monday to the house No. 36, in Well-street, Oxford-street, of which Ellingsworth was the owner, and Fair the occupier. They there found concealed in a cellar, a large quantity of brass, pewter, copper, and other metals, and several large chests of candles. Davis left the house for some lit tle time, and while he was gone, Ellingsworth, his wife, and some other women, knocked otf the lids of the chests, and threw the candles about the floor. —They broke the greater part of them, and en deavoured all they could to destroy my marks •by which the goods could be identified.—Mr. Smith, of Cambridge, attended as the executor of his late bro ther, who was a tallow-chandler in Red Lion-street, and identified one of the candle-chests as his pro perty. _ He stated, that soon after he took possession of the concern in Red Lion-street, which was very extensive, several chests of candies were stolen from the warehouse, and he received information from a Mr. Eaton, who was formerly clerk to his deceased brother, that some of the stolen goods had been offered to him for sale,"and that he could introduce to him a person who knew an about the matter.—
