FATAL ACCIDEUIP —A few days ago, the wife of a man of the name of Taylor (a labourer, at Croome, Worcestershire, and the father of eight children) was entreated by one of her boys, a title child about 5 years of age, to be allowed a fire in an upper apartment for himself hiself and brothers and sisters, or they should be starv ed with cold. The mother, occupying the fire below. complied with his request, and lighted one aceordnigly iti a room upon the first floor. Site had quitted the room hit a few minutes, and was engaged dressing ass infant iii arms, when the . boy in questioo, e. Ito hid set his clothes on lire iii some F ,raw to itn.tate his fa ther (as lie told the other children) smoking his pipe, presented himself to her on the stairs, enveloped in Manes. The terrifittl woman rushed to his assistance, and tat her alarm, 100 ,, AI !ler hold of the infant, which fell to the ground with much violence, and was stunned. She, however. picked it up spin instantly, and clasping the burning boy to her, in the endeavour to eatingu sh the flames, set herself and the infant on fife. The poor woman, as she herself relates, deeming the destruction of herself and children inevituble, in a state of frenzy exclaimed, " Oh, Lord, if it be thy pleasure, we three will burn together," and swooned away! Must rot i dentially at this crisis, souse of the neighbours entered the house, and found the three helpless beings in the situatimi above described, their clothes still burning.— Having put out the Mines, and recovered the mother, smgieal aid was promptly obtained, and the utifortimate sufferers received every attention, whirls skill and the best leelmus could StIggCSS. Happily the toothier receiv ed iso Soittry of a serious nature; her Wilds were issue burnt, hut her life is spared to her family; and the hut, alilinkiA much buret in the face, it is hope . .till do we I. The only fatal victim of this calamity is the innocent originator of it ; the mischief he sustained was beyond the reach of human skill ti avert. After lats gotahisg tltrough the night, the poor boy expired. A most daring robbery was committed on Monday evetiiiit; last, at the shop of Mr. Wilson, Builisigton Arcade.

MowthaY, DEC. 23.—The greatest parr of their coasumption of meat having been laid in by the dealers on Friday last, the market this day was but scantily supplied with cattle, and third,' attended by purchabers, which has occasioned a decline in the price of all kinds of meat. Beef may be quoted rather brisk in sale. at a reduction of ad. per stone, the supply of Beasts being small, and that of Sheep was much under an average number-- Mutton was heavy in sale, at a tall of about 6d. per stone from Friday's prices. Veal was also lower by ad. per stone, but Pork was brisk in sale, at Friday's statement. The market this dsy VAS very dull, all meat looking down, and most of the catde °fixed west of inferior quality.
