DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. About one o'clock in the morning of Thursday last, the engine-house of that old and valuable establishment, knows by the same of the Northonsberland 'Glass Manufactory, .situated in the Close, in ibis town, was discovered to be on Are. The situation of the premises was such as caused the greatest alarm in the neighbourhood. 'Contiguous, on the west side, were the extensive soap-works of Messrs. Dosb!e day sad Co.; on the oast, the mansion -house, Mews. D. wnd Co.'s conatieg•hosse, and a yard, in which were nearly 1,800 barrel, of rosin ; sad to the north, on the opposite side of t►e street (which is very barrow), there are bond cellars, containing a very large stock of spirits, and another cellar in which were about 400 casks of tallow and brim stone. Added to these circumstances there was a brisk wind, but it was fortunately from the west, and consequently mate• rially assisted the engines in preserving the soap-manufac tory from the destroying element. It was the rause, how ever, of the Ore spreading over the whole of the premises occupied by the Glass Company, including some adjoining houses on the east, inhabited by poor people, wills • rapi dity rarely witnessed; by two o'clock the whole was a ♦olume of Same; aad the Are was at till DM/ six.

His own niftiou boasts of him ea one of her intellectual glories, and Ims long since assigned him his place beside the two modern Archpriests of philosophic laughter—Rabelais and Cervantes. He was born at Madrid in 15$O (some accounts bring him into the world ten years earlier), sod died in 1645. His education was the beet that his time sod country could supply. He entered at en early age into the public service. When the Duke of °semi* was Viceroy of Naples, Quevedo was eroploeed by that Nobleman in several delicate commissions among the Italian States. On our occasion he went to Venice disguised as s mend'. cant ; sod as far as we can collect from the scenes of low life in some of his comic pieces, it was a character that he must have found little dif f iculty in supporting. The Spanish Court acknowledged its sense of this and his other services, by decorating him with the cross of the military order of St. Jago. The particulars of his biography that have come down to us are extremely scanty. What is recorded of his personal character is calculat ed to engage our love and respect. He woe learned, pious, affectionate, and incorruptible. Ilia appearance was manly and engaging, his coax. plexion fair, and his countenance teeming with expression. His eye. were so debilitated by coati. Dual study, that he always wore spectacles. We have seen some portraits of him prefixed to inferior Spanish editions of his works, in which we could recognise nothing of the above description but the spectacles. The most important events of his personal history were his imprisonments. When his friend the Duke of Ossuua was disgraced, Quevedo was arrested and confined fur the space of three years; at the espiratiou of which, nothing appearing against him, he was discharged. In 1634 he was appointed Secretary of State to Philip IV. The same year he married an accomplished lady of a noble family ; but soon losing her, lie found it De mastery to exchange the vanity and bustle of a Court for the consolations of religion and philosophy. He resigned his . office, and retiring to the country, gave himself. up to literature sod meditation. From this retreat lie was a few years after dragged on a Calm charge of having libelled the prime minister. the Conde D'Ofivarez ; and according to the custom of the country, recommitted to a dungeon. His estate was sequestrated, his health was ruined, and his spirits, previously impaired by his domestic cala mity and approaching old age irretrievably broken. The affair, when investigat e d, proved to have ori ginated in a malicious calumny, and the victim was restored to his liberty, and to ad much of his property as had survived the costs of the seques tration ; but the inhuman objects of his enemies were obtained, for Quevedo was soon after carried off by the accumulated diseases of mind and body, which the severities of his imprisonment had produced or exasperated. Such, says one of his biographers, was the fate of Francisco Quevedo, the pride and the shame of the Spanish 111'3011 ; a scholar and a poet worthy of universal admiration r a man of exemplary probity and fortitude, who suffered much unmerited mor tification acid distress from the malevolence of his countrymen, and languished in the abode of ad. versity cud the gloom of a dungeon, while his writings were affording delight and instruction to whole nations. These facts excite deep indignation ; and parti. colarly at this moment ought to inculcate a serious reflection on the degraded stale to which a country can be reduced, even though possessing men of talents, when there are not laws and a free constitu tion to protect them. Quevedo's fate must also touch every breast which is faithful to th►e cause of liberty, with au indignant recollection of that uu *hallowed Alliance, which at this moment is pre. vented only by inability from restoring to Spain the system of oppression under which that immortal genius languished as a victim. Quevedo's works are numerou■, filling, as ori ginally collected nod published at Madrid, three quarto volume.. They consist of serious dismay bons on religious and literary subjects, poetic effu sions, and humorous productions; of the last of which ■lone we are enabled to speak at any length. We have seen a few - of his love -sonnets, and the thoughts, as charged by one of his biographer% are disfigured by the quaint conceits and extravagances of the Italian amatory school. But we have sel dom read verses in any language in direct praise of the writer's mietress, iu which there has not been much more of the author than the lover. The best-conducted,.and perhaps the most poetical icgr. respondence that we recollect to have read of in the Initials of fidelity, was that of the separated lovers who agreed to look at stated hours upon the moon; but during our ;Regret financial difficul ties we caunot venture to recommend the general adoption of this 'inactive, lest Mr. Viesisittart should be compelled to being iu a bill declaring much era. *ions of the post and paper deities illegal ; sad then we thottlJ have indictments under the Ad, running, •• For that heretofore, to wit, un the night of between the hours of sunset and runtime. he (or she) the said did falsely, maliciously, fraudulently, and nmatorily gaze, look. and intently fix Isis (or bee) eyes upon a certain beetenly body, sign, or plsuet, commonly called the moon, to wit, at with itiletit to injure aid defraud the revenue, winst the peace and statute, and soforth ;" all of which, however necessary. might sorely prey upon the enamoured classes of the cnu►n►uuity. The principal and most orsgitial of Quevedu'a he.norous efforts are his " Visions." Currier, the celebrated naturalist, unde►takes to deduce from the smallest fragment of the skeleton of an animal whose race has become extinct, the genus. site, tend other physical distinctimis of the creatute to which it once belonged. The rime inductive iirocers may be employed, soil w e .uspett with almost equal success, iu bore general investi gation* t and the peculiarities of detached literary or politital remnants of a former society, lacy en able us to infe► with tolerable certainty nueny im portant 'Articular* regarding its moral and social colidt , iou. Of this the "Visions" of Quested() afford • sti illustration. H.l in the historical records of the state of Spain in his tinte pe►ished, the plan of this work alone would enable us to conjecture that the writer must fiave composed it • under the re straining terrors of such sit establishment as the Inquisition, sod of such Ministers as the Cootie D'Olivarez. It is Ins chief sati►ical production ; but in sitting down to expose the vices and follies of his ►ge, he used most especial precautions that none of the extant knaves s.►d blockhrsds should take the application to thrn►selres. His catdu►al maxim throughout (the converse of the old owe) is, " de ',leis ail nisi &mem." Fot fear the court or the priests should demur, he lays the venue in Hell_ " My design (is be says with some naivete at the close of one of h s V►sions) is to discred►t and discountenance the works of darkness, without scandalizing of persons; and I em certain this dis course will never be reckoned a satire, as it treats of none bet the damned."

THE EARL MOIRA PACKET. • The Liverpool Advertiser of Tuesday, contains a long account of the lois o f above packet, but it does not materially differ in the circumstances from that already before our readers. l'he follow ing passages contain the only new particulars. After describing the confusion of the pasaengers, and the breaking up tif the vessel, it says-- « A boat had bees at anchor within bail from the time I west on deck, with two mew is her, who saw the whole pro. geese of our danger with the moat mortifying indifferestee. They baited their hooks, threw them out as cool as though we lay at anchor; and to be sear witnesses of oar distress, bore down upon us where we cast anchor, within fifty yards between us and the shore, evidently rensalaiug to pick up soy property that might drift within the r reach; there they remained, nfusiag the offer of twenty guineas to take eves the women (who were then all safe) tor shore. &win no prey coming, fur the luggage bad out then began to drift, they hoisted sail very deliberately, and left us to uor fate.

When the crew of the life-boot at tschad themselves to this wreck by throwing their grapple int* the riggiag, the sailors who bad got upon the lope( the mast, now weighed dow• uearly upon a level with the sea, wore fe the first to get on board her, leaving helpless ntaks and weak mew to shift for themselves.

The dying shrieks of these poor creatures were truly terrific. Another boat shortly after tamer up; they were regular traders in saving lives, sad made their harpist accurdiagly.

There mere but two females saved, one a young married lady, who behaved throughout greatly superior to many of the stoutest men ; the other the wife of a soldier who was very careful of kr. The Editor of the Liverpool Adver tiser adds, that he is uuable to give a list of the suf ferers, as there is no entry made of the persons who take their passage by these packets. The names of two only have been ascertained, Mr. William Maeleials, of Port Glasgow, and Mrs. Margaret Doran, of Dublin, both of whom have been interred at Wallasey. The number of bodies found is fourteen. George Ideas, Esq. went out in the pilot boat No. 11, from Liverpool, to awist is saving the pawners.

A watch value almut 40ga. and 22 pounds, were found ou Mr. Micleish. Mrs. Doran's property is iu possession of the Coro ner. About eighteen boxes were brought into the village, all of which were announced to the Rector with perfect honesty ; fourteen of them were locked.

TRIAL AND ACQUITTAL OF THE imirrLEßANvi The important trial or the Briftlebankt came on this monolog. The Court assembled at eight o'clock. The case having bees opened, Mr. Da MAN said, it was his painful dusty to slate, as shortly and as simply as be could, the circumstances of the ease : The Prisoners were to be tried for a crime that was considered we of the heaviest of whirl, human nature was capable. A murder was charged to have been committed by Mr. W. Rrittlehank, and the Prisoners stood uu their Iris! for aiding, abettieg, and assisting in the said murder. The deceased, Mr. Caddie, had beton Surgeon in the Nevy: he had retired as half pry, sad resided at Winster, its Uric county; where Illr. Brittfebank, the father of two of the Prisoners, resided. Mr. Cuddie had been on intimate terms with the Brittlebanks, but their friendship had fallen or in consequence of the attentions of the deceased to Miss Brittlebaok, which certainly had been disapproved by the members of her family. On the2lit of May, Hoe day heterershe death of Mr. Cuddle, • letter was brought to him by the ser vant of Mr. W..Brittlebauk, complaining of an insult which he said he bad received, and railing on the deceased to fight him, in order to expiate that insult. Mr. Caddie refused to Rive any answer to the letter.
