ALARMING FIRE.---AYestertlay morning, about one o'clock, part of the erernises of Mr. Brealey, dyer, Garden-lane, Westminster, was discovered to be on fire. The watchman with difficulty succeeded in arousing. Mr. and Mrs. Beesley, who slept on the flat floor, and hail retirid to rest about an hour befire. On awakening, they were surprised at finding their chamber filled with smoke, and on opening the !tom door the staircase was discovered to be enveloped in flames, which wete rapidlyiecreasing. Escape by the front door was thus rendered impossible, and the alarming progress of the flumes approaching their bed-chamber induced them ft ascend to the second floor, where four children and a maid servant slept. The family succeeded in escaping without the slightest injury. The premises were insured In the office of the Sun. the engine; of which arrived soon after the egress of the in mates, and, being followed by others, their exertions, assisted hy a plentiful supply of water. succeeded in subduing the status before much damage was done to the adjoining premises. Mr. Brealey's house, with the back premiere, were, however, completely reduced to a heap of t uins. DARING AND EXTENSIVE RORBERY.-011 Thursday morning last, the bed-room of Mr. S. Knight, landlord of the Masonic Inn, situate in Droad-stmt, in this town, was entered, by, it is supposed, two persons wits had slept in the house the two preceding nights, and a small tea-chest broken open, and its con tents, cut.sisting of upwards of Inf. in sovereigns and notes, with a silver watch also in it, stolen. Tne two persons whom they s u s. pert., and of which there can be no doubt but that they were the perpetrators of the robbery, had been remaining in the house for own clays, and by their conversation they led the landlord to ima gine that they were horse-jockeys. On the morning in question, they left the house after takirg is glees of gin each about half.past eight o'clock, with an intention, as was collected from their man ner, of again returning, es they did not pay their reckoning ; about ten minutes after they were gone, 3lta. Knight, having occasion to go up stairs to the place where she deposits her money, discovered that the tea.chest had been broken open and the money stolen. Suspicion fell on these men, and application was immediately made to the Magistrates, and a number of officers were instantly despatched in every direction ; but we are sorry to say, their exertions were without any effect, as they all returnee( in the course of the (lay without being enabled to gain any intelligence or clue of them ; the officers were sent on the Tavistock, Exeter. and Cornish roads, and indeed in every direction. The march was again renewed yesterday, but, as before, without effect. We understand, that theme men, with several others, have been in the habit of visiting this town every six months, for the last two or three years, and st those periods one or two usually slept at Mr. Knight's. About 12 months since the same party was here, and there is very little doubt but that they robbed a fanner, whom they fell in com pany with at Modbury, of a considerable sum of money ; they bevel tn all their visits represented themselves sa horie-jockeys, but they ' have never bent seen with horses, or, in fact, having any thing to do with horses, and there cannot be a question hut that they arc a' gang of organized robbers, who make periodical visits round the country, for the vole purpose of rehbery. An intelligent police officer' of Devotuport informed us that he had had .suspicion of a gang who had a woman or two in company with them, and who had been pa rading Derunport for the last day or two, and, from the description, there can be no doubt but that they were companions of these fel lows. Five of them arrived in this town on one of the Exeter coacher' on Tuesday l a s t . amongst whom were the two men now in pursuit of; one of the party was seen in company with a well-look ing fat woman walking the sweets on Wednesday. The two that robbed Mr. Knight are young men ; one was dressed in a blue coat, tiaik waistcoat, light entdutoy breeches, and light gaiters, about five feet six inches is height, dark complexion, strong features, and has lost his fore teeth. The other is rather shorter, nag dreaued in black, dark complexion, with a very large nose.—Plyntonth SIIIPPING INTRLLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL, Fninsy. OCT. I.

The celebrate:l historian, whose late " History of Chivalry" his excited inch an interest in the literary world, died last Monday, at Southampton, whither he had retired some months since, in order to recover from tke effects of an illness, partly caused nod nourished by habits of intense thought, and enthusiastic devotion to literature. The death of such a Man must not pus without a continent. He was the youngest son of Samuel OiHam Mills, a surgeor. of eminence, at Greenwich, and was intended by his father tbr the law, which he quitted, in consequence of his ardent love foe literature. His first work, "The History of Maliometanism," was published about the year 1817, and strongly attracted the attention of Sit-John Malcolm, who extolled it as the most promising history of the day. It was brought out by Black, Parbury, and Allan ; but a second edition being almost immediately called for, it was revised, tied published by hangman, in whose hands it has (with the other im portant works of the same author) since remained. The neat work by Mr. Mills was the well-known " History of the Cturades," which was distinguished beyond most productions of the day by its deep and enlarged observation—its fearless inquisitive spirit—and its condensed vivacity of style, founded prime pally upon that of Gibbon. Of a work so well known it will be superfluous to say more, in the way of criticism. than that immediately on its publication it brought its author for ward as the first end most eloquent historian of his time. A few months after its appearance accident led Mr. Mills to the study of Italian literature : the result of which was a work of fiction, in two vols., entitled " The Travels of Theodore Lucas, on the Revival of Arts and Letters in Italy." The model upon which this book lees formed was the " Travels of Anachirsis ;" but as the subject was comparatively uninteresting to the majority of modern readers, was proportionately unsuccessful. For a year subsequent W iea pub lication, Mr. Mills lay quietly on this oars, till invited by his respectable publishers to undertake a History of Rome, frotn ta e earliest ages down to the reign of Augustus, about which period Gibbon's History commences. They added, in the most flattering terms, that he was considered among literary men as the only per son competent to the task. From some cause, however, the work (we believe in consequence of a rival publication having been ad - wedged) was dropped, and Mr. Mills then directed hit attention to his last and most popular wink, the " History of Chivalry," which created such a general interest from the very first moment of its announcement, that in a few weeks the whole first edition (en on usually large one) was disposed of ; and be was called, but a tew months before his death, to devote his attention to a second. This work attracted the notice of Sir W. Scott, (previously excited by the " Crusades," from which work lie partly borrowed the plot of his novel, called the " Talisman"), and a correspondence passed between them, which we have seen, and which coming through the medium of Mr. Constable, from the " Author of Waverley to Mr. C. Mills"—as contradistinguished from Sir W. Scott—incurious. Mr. Mills, a few months before his death, was elected one of We Knigts of Malta (an honour unsought for on his part), now revived on the Continent, which was conferred on him in couseigseues his allusions to that celebrated fraternity (the defrosters of the Christian religon for so many centuries throughout Europe) itt Ins " History of the Crusades." In private file Mr. C. Mills was open, generous, and candid. to a fault; his conversation, in his more cheerful points, was par. titularly engaging; and the vast and almost unlimited stores of his information were at the service of every friend. The writer of this brief notice has spent the most delightful hours of Mt life in cont. pang with this distinguished friend, whom once to have known was for ever to have remembered. As a literary man he was, to adopt the language of the Qruuierhf Retirtu, in its notice of his Th i aslara Lucas," of "first - rate importance ." Alt. Jeffrey Also omitted him out as one of the most promising writers eif his day ; and, toilet d, he %.is rapidly rising to the fond e st object of his daily and nightly pray e rs intellectual suptemecy ; when his constitution, always delicate, broke thorn.under the severe exertion*, or his mind. and brought hint to the grave at the early age of lid In person, Mr. Mills was of middling stature. with a countenance intensely espies:use of thought and intellect. The bust of him, taken about two years since, by Sieviet (though rather too gigantic in proportion),elatte justice to the depth and variety of his expression- Mr. Mills was in habits of personal intimacy with the must celebrated literary characters of his day, most of whom will regret hint—but none more so then the hurubk writer of this notice, who knew him well and long—who owes every thing to his kind affectionate a tt e n t i on ,, and now feels, that, with the "death of his guide, philosopher, ant friend," have died also the most sanguine hopes alai happiness or his Idea—L . o'in'; Papa.
