Croskill, the holism occupied by Mrs. Neilson and Mr. T. Moirhesd, in Her rington.elreet, end a stable belonging to J. W. Johnston, Esq. in Grauville•street, were consumed. For some time great apprehensions were entertained that the Are would extend to the tuition on the opposite side of the streets, but fortunately it did nut. Some buildings were scorched, and nearly every pace of gloss in the front of the residence of S. B. Ruble Esq. was destroyed by the exces sive heat of the A re . Of the property burnt wily alms , 1,500/. were insured, and the calamity has mostly fallen where it will long be severely felt—upon widows nod orphan children—spun industrious iradreasea, whose whole stock of worldly wealth was invested in the tenements they occupied. We cutout now particiilarise the individual siefferers, but shall eioleavuor to do it in our next.

We cannot help, however, übserviog, that we witnessed as extraordinary apathy on the part of a somber of the iubabi taots; they el lin crowds, sod appeared to view the pro gress of the devouriag element with perfect indifference; some of these pennies possess real estate in the town, and may, before the lapse of a week, need the assistance of their more meritorious townsmen, to protect them foes • calami ty similar to that which many experiemeed this osoraing. _Stich people as are not inchwed to resider assistaace at Ares, had better remain at their homes; they only clog the streets, and impede the exertions of the active and homes*.

His conduct, both in word and action, among the servants, had beets so isstish r aid, bad and indecent that two successive female servants, of respectable character. had left their places, declaring it to be impossible fur them to remain in the URIC house with him ; aud a third was now on the point of following their example.

If he was to name any day before that lime, it would he isconversiert, not only to himself, hut to other Gentlemen of his profession, as the oestaiona in the different counties would be going on, and it would interfere with their duly in attending them. He therefore trusted the day he had suggested would meet the approbation of Sir Richard Birtiir and the Prosecutor.
