Mr. Gmatrt.was awoke by a..violeit' knocking at the street clOor, by a little'boy who had Obfierved the smoke issuing fro t h the warehouse. Mr. Guamrr opened the tern.paii- winild*,'mit waking to dress himself; .on his 'being informed of the 'cal*.

They soon appeared at . the street-dnor,' nearly undressed ' • abeurtwelve persons were at that time collected in - the square; 'The flames burst out ' from the warehouse with prodigious velocity ; • at twenty minutes.before Crlir two engines had arrived ; the firemen havino p erceived the fl a m es as t h e y were returning fru:it a fire at Spital-fields, where taws houses were burned'. One of the engines was sta tioned in Crown -court, and• the other in Water lane—they 'passed a hose • through a house .in - ter-lane, but some time elapsed before any quan tity of avatar could be procured-other engines soon tame pouring in 'heel all quarters. At five o'clock the rod fell in with a tremendous crash, and the flames communicated to two houses in Crown-court ; • to Mr. Swan% printer, in Salisbury court; and at 'the back of Mr. G 'lLLerr's, to Mi. GALL'S, the chemist'. and the late Gosport Bank in Salisbury-it:n . =4c' The sight becathe now trimly aw ful ; . sheets of foliating paper were flying in the air in all directions. large-sheets' of paper. in a blaze ascended to a great height, and then took a course with the wind towards. St. Paul's; same of them were picked up in Finsbury-square. At half past five, Alr. GILLETT'S warehouse and printing-office were nearly consumed ; the-floors had fallen in ; the noise was immense, from the falling pi the type and printing materials The engines were now tolerably well supplied with water : the furniture of the three adjoining houses in Salisbury-square were thrown out of the windoWs, and heaped in a pile in the middle of the square. At six o'clock the fltmes burst , forth from the roof of the late Bank ; it being cover ed with tile, as the heat operated on them, the tiles cracked, and many pieces were driven two and three hundred yards; the heat became intense. At halt past six the roof fell in, but was stoned on the attic 1 , floor. This gave the engines an opportunity of playing with realer effect. The roofs of Mr. Gia.. - tr's and Mr. Gai.E's houses were now in flames, and by seven they fell in. The - engines seemed to have gut the committal of the tire, there being ten playing on the three houses at once. Fleet-street ex hibited a mess distressing scene ; the inhabitants of Salisbury and Clem n.courts being chit fly room keepers, they had brought their. little furniture into the street. where they were p il ed neseperate 10c.,. The distress of the t, omen and their children is beyond description- the Al ighted infants clinging to their neeheis for that pretection they were so much them selves in need oft one poor family consisted of a widow and two children, their whole furniture did not appear to be worth £5, and on. it lay a coffin I . containing the corpse of :t female infant which was to have been interred yesterday : we are happy however to state that their little dwellings escaped the contla-1 nation. By eight o'clock the lire was nearly got under; at one time the whole of the pile of.buildingc from the Square to Fleet-street was in imminent danger, as the wind blew in that direction. Too much credit cannot be given to the firemen of . - the respective offices for th•ir exertions ; they dis played the greatest intrepidity ; one of them had slot been more than half a minute before the roof of Mr. Goa.err's house fell in,at the 'attic Wiadow, giving drections to those conducting the engine a. Mr. Goa.err and his sons were actively (-willed in trying to preserve the property and furniture. Mr. G. did not kayo his house until the roof had fallen in. It was with the greatest difficulty he Could be then prevailed on to retire, and assisted from his own door to that of Mt. Pennies, his Opposite neighbour: ' he appeared quite overcome with trouble and fatigue; the ouly covering he had. on was his great coat and night-cap. His warehouse and printing-office areee tirely consumed. It is not more than three rats since they were built, :cud we understand they cost him 9,000 guim AS. The v::•-le of the printing uten sils, his extensive !toot: in trade, and the number of Valuable bool:s, fini un:inished, belonging to the booleielleie by whce... he was employed, have also fallen victims te the destructive element. It is sup: posed his wardieme contained property to an im mense. amount.lli:, dwelling-house has received coeeiderable ;..jury, the roof and attics are burnt, and the house is otherwise much injured.. The two ad joining houses have suffered equally. The furniture l of the three must have been greatly deteriorated by, the haste they were obliged to be removed w:th.—' \i'e understand the buildings and furniture arc in-' sured. Mr. SWAN'S dwelling house, in Salisbury court, is binned to the ground ; he was not insured, although about four years ago he was completely burned cut. His new minting-office has fortunately escaped. The -Sipper part of two houses in Crown court arc consumed, and several others much injored. Some of the oldest and most experienced firemen have declared the; never knew so rapid a fire ; the passages to the place where it is supposed to 'have originated :lie very confined, and this may account for its not haying been got under sooner. • There was a great concourse of people from an early itour in the morning until late in the evening. csterday ; and we rejoice in stating, that no accident took place. It is the general opinion that the fire originated in the lower part of the warehouse, which contained publications to a large amount belonging to Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS.' They are insured, but nothing near their value. We understand that there had not been either a fire or a candle in the building. since the printers left off working by candle-light, on. March last; and thot Mr. Gua.err, accompanied by his sons, saw that every thing Was secure before they retired to bed on Saturday night. It was customary to leave one of the windows in the lower wareroom open during the night, for the purpose of drying the sheets, which has led to the supposition, that some incendiary had introduced through the open winsfOw some combustible matter, which communicated to the paper. Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS'S monthly numbers .Of The Bible and Gregiapna, which were to 'be deliveredaan the 1 sf Alignst, and were just kished, are amongst his losses. In the hurty to get dut the property.- a 1 drawer was taken fears Mr. GR.LECT'Ir i . sontaining, plate of 7 toflsftlerablei ktiount;: irliftE could not be &Aced in any of the ielghhnift" last flight.

Sir Rtcut tae appeared busily empinyed . in the ndighbmnhond of the fire, picking tip the:partr of the hooks which were only in part corisninnd. This cal.rmitF must fall heavily on Mr. Giu.arr, who met with a similar misfortune only four years antecedent. His books and seeompts are buried in the ruins, and none of the artitles in trade were insured. Liiv INTELLIGENCE CARMARTHFSI CIRCUIT.

COURT OP KING'S BENCH, JULY U. GARNETT V. DUNKIN. This was an actieri by which the plaintiff sought tr. recover a compensation in damages from the de7'.2ii • dant, for aa assault committed on the Flaietiil by the defendant on the public Corn Exchange. apeeered, that the plaintiff and defendant (bath of hom c gen tlemen of respectability engaged in the corn trade, and alsoefficers of Volunteer Cavalry cirps, the dlendant belonging to the Surrey Ycoma .•.y Cavalry, end the plaintiff to the London Light I ,orse) had . .words gether on the Corn Exchange, a certain c' in M:iy Vast, relative to a proseention :c)mmenced 'lie de fendant against a serv:tat '" die plaintiff's but which the defendant had aband--red.

The witness .for the defen dant, however, did not see the whole of the tr:m section ; 1)11,, from what he tiiid see ci it, be considered the defendant as being the person aggrieved. Lord ELLENDOROUtifI left the eircan:stances of ag gravation, or of alleviation, to be considered of by t h e Jury. That an assault had been committed, so that some damages must be given was not denied. The question it r the consideration of the Jury was, did the charge of falsehood originate on the part of the defendant, or of the plaintiff? according to their belief of the one or the other, they would give ag gravated or mitigated damages.—Verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages a 650. I'MVNALL V. NELSON. This was an action to recover the amount of 48tl1 . barrels of turpentine ; but it was brought to try . a question of custom at Liverpool. The plaintiff sold to the deleadant the turpentine, under a seal ran.y that it was two-thirds soft ; but on its being examined, it was found that it was only proportioned ‘2Bi herr soft to 50, and the defendant refused to accept • : it. It appeared it was customary in Liverpool, that if it exceeded one-half' soft, to sell it as two-thirds, and the present action was brought to try the validity of that custom. Lord ELLENROROUGH observed, that it could not be held in law that 2Si were the two-thirds of 50 ; if they did, it was time to get a new arithmetic and a new language.—Nontuit. PARNTIIFR V. GAITWEL. Mr. Paiute stated that this was an action brought to recover seBo, under the following circumcances The defendant was a proprietor of the London Insti tution for the Encouragement of Literature. It-was incorporated by Act of Pailiainent. The defendant wished to dispose of his shale, and employed a man of the name of Savage, a clerk to the Institution, to dispose•of it for him, and kit with him the usual recommendation, as directed by the laws of th' In stitution, leaving a blank for the name of the . pur chaser. The plaintiff wishing to become a proprietor, spoke to Mr. King, a friend of his, to look out for a share for him ; he applied to Savaire, who filled up the blank in the recommendation w i th the plaintiff's name, and he paid him £BO. The form of the re commendation was, viz. " I having disposed of my share in the Londina Institution for the Encou ragement of Literature, I beg leave to recalmmend to be elected in my place' (Signed) Directed to the Managers of the Institution. Savage became a defaulter, and absconded from the, service of the Institution, and the present action was, brought i) recover from the defendant the £BO, paid to Savage, at the plaintiff had never been elected. Lord Emettsonounst could not. see that the recom mendation gave Savegean authority to sell, he was only the common depository for both parties; for if the. plaintiff Was never elected, which did' not depend on the will of the de *Want, he *could nor be entitled to receive the pnrclnis • money; he had no objection to the facts beftiz pt:t in a_ case for the consideration, of theother Judge ..—Verdlctforshe.defendant—Sub jeCt to a case.

For this pur pose, Thomas Winter; clerk to the bankrupt,' was I called ; who proved that the draft given for the for. niture, was signed by Sir John Ross, and that lie had ' taken money for him to the house of Brunet :mei Co. before the issuing of the extent.
