THE NATIONAL REGISTER. iiotiee, the one hearbig a strict resemblance to a bank-note. A tai lor was taktn into cu.itsdy, he having passed one of those flash bills at a butcher's shop in Swallow-street; but in defence, he said he had stole the note in question, from the sruall•clothes pocket of a cuquiner, and he thought a good one. There being a good deal of plausibility in this story, the prisoner was &berated. The Bilk clerk, concerned in the dividend warrants 3aith Arnim: e, was examired a second time at this Office on 11mrsd , y, add agai:: remanded to Tuthill-fields Bridewell. The Inqairy was quite private, and we are potdin possession of particulars. _ to run up stairs to alarm the family, hut her husband prevented her, and throwing a feather-bed out of the win dow, she jumped upon it, and was shortly afterwards fol lowed by her husband. In addition to the persons already named as having fallen victims to this dreadful visitation, she said, there was .a servant maid, named Martha Eyron, whose re mains have not yet been found. On being questioned as to the probable cause of the fire, she said that the family were in the habit of leaving a large fire in the parlour to dry their clothes, which they generally washed once a week. They also occasi oually left a tire under a copper in the wash-house, which was used to boil hams and other meat for sale in the shop. To these sources only could she attribute the origin of the flames. John Shelton, Esq. the Coroner, having summeo up the evi dence, the Jury returned a verdict of—Died by Zee/dental Fire. It is remarkable that from the commencement to the termi nation of the fire, there was not a single ladder brought by the persons who were attracted to the spot by the alarm. BIRTH.
