At half past roar, yest..rilay afternoon, a nio,t alarming lire broke out at Warne's hotel, iti Co:I -duit-Areet, Bond-street. The bowl consisted or two houses, being No. 19 HA , 20. The a ipear mince, on its first breaking out, was most frightttil. A great body of smoke issued from the premises, which entirely prevented the passengers from seeing their way in the street. The inmates of the house, including several gentlemen and &indica, dew iu every direction. an instant afterwards, the tones burst out front every window of the house, and the whole side of the street, from the corner of (}gorge-street, Hanover-s q uare, to ,Hill-street, was enveloped in flames, threatening destruction to the whole neighbourhood. The drums beat to arms, and the St. James's, Bloomsbury, and St. ieorge\, Hanoi er-square, volunteers, repaired to t 'mot with the e teat est alacrity. Engines arrived all de fertions,b"ut water could not be immediately I t nearest. The lire be; ned with the greatest rapidity ; tit, first I ..... ISe Ailm nearly consumed before t lie engines could be brought to play with any effect, though the firemen used every exertion in their power;— the wind heing very high, the flames spread to such ro extent, that It almost impossible for them t.s woi k. M tuv of t h an rushed into the Hotel to save some of the property, and, we are sorry to say, that, a•rording to the latest account we could col lect, foar firemen mid a i.oy were missing. Tice tire was got Ult , ler about nine o'clock at night. The Hotel is entirely destroyed, and part of all 11.1 . 01 ' g house, including the back premises. which extend nearly to the gates of St. George's Chapel, in George-street, Hanover-square. The evening service was not over art the time the fire broke out ; the Haines seen through the windows of the chapel alarmed the congreg mon. The service was imme diately stopped, and the congregation made their escape. Great confii,ion ensued ; the charity chil dren, who alway. attend there, ran in every direc tion—some without tivir hat., the girls witlinu ht./mists or Omsk.. ‘Ve are afraid that many per sons were hurt, as the confusion was were great, and the eniigregation church plate oat secured, as the Cha!e.i, at o:te time, was thought in gnat datt. , er. (;rest praise is due to the Earl of Chesterfield. Oa hearing of the Resident, lie sent fort party of who in stantly repaired to the spot, and cleared the erir riages in Boud-street, which were four a-hreast, :eta entirely impeded the progress of the engines. Earl Percy also ordered the swine f.out Northuarber land Douse to intend ; and the Duke of Port land sent out a supply of tile to these who were employed at the fire. Sir Walter Far eitikar ordered his servants to render every ab stinence. and great part of' the furniture saved from the flames was brought into his honer. We are sorry to say, that hi addition to the firemen said to be missing, another was very ,nlieh injured; tinr hair of his head was entirely burnt off, and part of his clothes. lle was re,cited from his perilous • situation by a milkman who served the house, and ran to give every atsistaece; he was a1 , .0 very much burnt in the hand. lie head waiter is also said to be missile; ; and it was repo, t•;i1 that two gaols. suers rushed m to save their property, and that they were buried in the passage by the falling in of some of the ruins: we only give the latter as a report. Most of the families that were in the hotel, as soon as the alum was given, went to hater's and other hotels, in Jerniya-street, St. James's. The fire is said to have been occasioned by the carelessness of the porter, who hail been to a cellar under the staircase,coutaining birch wool, and lied left his candle, and having a scuttle of coals to take up at the time, lie locked the dour, leaving the cradle human inside. Yesterday, the Duke of liuda waited on the Rt:su. and transacted buaciess with him. His Royal Ifighnese could scarce get to Windsor for the flood, which is so great, Eton and the College are all (overflowed ; the oater Canal into his Royal nightie's'. carriage. Ile was obliged to get out. mud gtt into a cart, to be brought through Eliot.— On hie return, he rode his horse as far as he could, when he was conveyed to his carriage in a boat.— The inhabitant. of Eton are till obliged to live up stair. and peovisious and neceseories of life are rabhge4 to be conveyed to them in carts and boats, we is the case in all the villages nasal. Last night. the tiftecti-arch bridge which crosses the rood from Eton to Slough, was blown up.

Otte of the privates of the Staff in Regiment has been drowned; atel. we are afraid, we shall hear more accidents. His Royal the Duke of YORK behaved very hand. stoutely to the man who took him in the cart, and the man who took Isintiti the boat to his carriage on his return.

The following extraordinary case of suspended animation occurred in the person of a girl residing 111 Burton Bradstock, in the county of Drirset, in the latter end of May mid beginning of kine lad : M ARY AWNING, aged between ten ilnd eleven years, had been weakly and unwell since the begin ning of April ; was seized with a kind of plireuzy or delirium, which lasted about twelve or fotirteen hOurs, when she suddenly lost her speech, null in about two days after lost her sight ; at which time a considerable discharge came from her Inman. Her mother left her for a few minutes, and on her return found her stretched out quite motionless, as if dead, or iii a dying state. In this imiensible state she lay fur 'seventeen shays and nights, as in a sound bleep or swoon ; at lateral& there was NNW" appearance of breath, and a small de : 4re.• of warmth; at other times Ai:would feet cold; but her flesh continued firm; end the faint breuthin.; she then had was gaits told. Many attempts were made to introduce warm tea and diluted spirits iuto her mouth; hit: it was doubtful if any passed into her stomach.

On the 17th day symptom , of returning life appeared ; and in about tea or twelve hours a Cara treinblitig crintol. sum appeared in her fingers, which lasted about all 11 , .ur, when use of her eyes also became convulsed, °petted, and then closed again ; in altont two hoots more she attempted to speak, and the first wor ds she uttered were, wafaint weak voice, 0! icAnt pod Lord we have got !

Some blankets were then procured, in which he was placed, and conveyed into the town. lie said very little after he received his wound. The Surgeons indeed expressed surpnse that it did not produce immediate death, as, besides the loss of his arm, his side was all bruised end shattered by the hall.
