Fur Wilke time past suspicions • have been entertrilied that it was 'loth) a ittelicient stale; Witch was indicated by the hotels of the doors and fire places giciug way; and oil Fliday aftertioon the •Proeu. rator Fiscal applied to the Deau of Guild, who ordered. tradesmen to inspect the premises, and to give in a' repot' of their pros Tglisign Time getitlemen accordingly vi al eta the whole property i 1111 l iethately, and so convioced w:•rc they of its inedificiency, that it was very prop; ray • condensing!. No time was lost in giving notice to the ittliabitains speedily to remove themselves and furniture, and a permin was beast round Olt Saturday, desiring them to do so without delay, as there was every probability the house would soon comealown. During the whole of that day, the-inmates•were busily employed carrying away their prop •rty; but in a land which contained so gmany lamities, it could Hardly be expected that the or ders of tee • Dean of .Guild could be literall:, complied with, and a few were hardy enough to ICIII.IIII its their Itou..es itluthig the night betwixt Saturday and Sunday. As te as iely..ied, a little a; ter eight o'clock, the whole I.enemeiii tali , partly into Saltitiai set and partly into Prince's-street. As the Liner street is narrow, that por-• I lion of it which came down in it fell on the teuetticut on the truth east corner, to which it has done consider able d a ma g e, hJsing 'really destroyed the whole front of the building, and in which several of the inhabitants who had moved had taken refuge on the preceding day. As boon as this melancholy disaster was coniammicand to HI r. Cleland, the superintendent of public works, that gemlentaii was instantlyou the spot, where he con- Clotted during the whole of the day.

A number of workmen were employed, carts and horses ImmlurVis end proceededm businesi; but such was the vast quantity of stones, timber, ke. that It was.sonte time, notwitliatruditig their best exertions, ,belore they could make "noel' iniretsion on them. Before one o'clock, however, the voice of a woman was heard un der part of the ruins which it was highly dangerous to approach, and *kit teas a period.of great anxiety to every person concerned. At length, 'John Love, a carpenter, with 111.1srs. Scott, and Grieve, courageously went in quest of the womait, whom he found its a space just large enough to contain I , with one of her arms jam-. aged in between two pieces•uf wood.
