Layton was despatched by apt. tiraltain, troll the cutter and gig of the Icarus, to bring out tram ~.der the tsi- of Panes a piratical felucca which hail taken shelter Mtn. As eke boats approached the shore, the felucca swept up the river Seta and anchored about two miles above the enhance of the river Mal Pais, which is a ma-row btanch of the Santa Fe. i.ieutenasit Layton proceeded.up the Sunni F.', and, without meet ing opposition, set hre tee a piratical establishment of eleven bores, and also destroyed a vessel which had leen recently launched. rn t•inninntely. on his way down, he determinod on looking up the 'del Pais, being convinced that the felucca must have escaped up the river. After directing the cotter to await his return at the mouth a the Mal Paiii, Lieutenant Layton proceeded upwards.and having ascended some distance. came in sight of the felucca, which nand been moored rinse •o the shore, and on the instant of die gig's mii,euxance round a pomi of land within one hundred yards of the pirate, a tire of grape and canister from two great guns was opened by the riwnly. aid Mr. strode (a midshipman) and four seamen were killed en the poet. Two of the gig's crew swam to the shore wind a voile! of noteketty, and succeeded in getting on board the cutter.

Oo Friday evening Fre•icri,* Wibir, a young man very genteelly dressed, and of remarkably prepossessing appearence, hut who is known to the police as a reputed thief, and Thomas Stearns, Irickner-utachoian„ who has also been several tinny in custody at this office, were brought up in the custody of Nicholls and Upson, of tl.is establishment, charged with being abroad with implements of housebreaking in the it possession, with intet.t to column felony. Mr. HALLS rommended the vigilance of the officers, who, he said, there could he no doubt, had protchted tic commissien of • burglaty. Thu re was quite sufficient to send the prisoners at once to the hessio:.% ; but there was one reason why he should not do so—lie loped by another day to have two added to their 11111111Jef. The prisoners were remanded till a future day. UNION-HALL. On Ftlday Inst an elderly man of respectable appearance, named Monday. w ho W 3 ., represented as having been fomierly an officer in his klajetity's service. was brought up on a warrant, charging him with having committed a fraud. The following evelenee was given against ('aptain linty, a veteran officer on the retired list. belonging to the 77th regiment of Foot. The complainant stated. that being rendered incapable, in enn seluenee of bodily infirmities, of carrying on a correspondence with the Horse Dowels and she Secretary at War's Office, relative to the grant of a further remuneration, in c.msideration tit his past services and bodily atiliction, he employed the prisoner, knowing hint to have Mien an old officer in the army, for the purpose of copying out memorials and petitions aildseaseti to the heads of the departments alluded to. The prisoner continued to perform the duties for none length of time. the 'aptain from time to time ad nineing him Minis of money, which lie considered as a fair and adequate compensation for the trouble he was at. A few months ago the prisoner came to him one morning and said, '• Captain Gray, if you will let we have your acceptance for 191. at three months, you will much oblige me, and I shall have the hill inuiteiliately discounted by a friend of mine, who !wilds a high situation in une of the public offices." The Captain assented to the request, and accordingly a bill was drawn for the shore sum, net pled by witness, and given to the prisoner, who pm mieed to let witness have the money in the course of a day or two at farther. After the prisoner was gone, the Captain had the cu riosity to examine the •• red book," for the purpose of ascertain ins •hether the individual whom the prisoner had stated would dig_ count the bill, was ntentioned therein, when he discovered that no such name appeared in the volione. The prisoner, after the above ciretimstances, kept entirely away from the Captain's residence. and he neither beard of the prisoner nor the bill until a frw days ago, "then lie was arrested for the amount of the latter. The ('up turn added, that in consequence of the fraudulent manner in which his acceptance was obtained, he had die prisoner apprehended. The Magistrate now dim-tett the prisoner 10 state what he had to offer in jwautieation of the transaction. The prisoner pulled out a bundle of papers, some of which eon. anted of copies of petitions, !Le. which he said he had composed. anangal, written, and afterwards presented at the liorse (Ward'', and Seanary of State's Office, upon the subject of l'aptain Dray's Claims, it was true that officer had given hint his acceptance few IW. bat then he (the prisoner) considered that it was in payment for his labour of mind and body, in performing that which the camplsinant seemed to think he had already rewarded him suffi ciently lie. The priwnet adtnitted that Caotain Dray had °cot showily given him a few shillings during the progress of the busi ness, hut not at all proportionate to the fatigue' and hardships at tendant upon drawing out lengthy petitions and memorials, of every description, addressed to great men, and afterwenls per formed that which he declared was taut the most pleasing part tat the business. that of presenting therm The prisoner elicit handed the Magistrate his account against the complainant, and amongst great number of charges, toe following appeared drawing tip a immortal to hut Royal Highness the Duke of York le:.

THE BRITISH PRESS. EXECUTION. [From the theatireploa On Saturday last the convict Savage underwent the awful wes tern*, oldie law on the Cow Common, upon the that by the side of the riser, near the Corporation al ills, in the presence of a vast con. course of spectators. attracted thither by the novelty of the scene, Our hardly scenes of this kind are not frequent in Huntingdon) as well as by the enormity of the crime far which the poor wretch was about to suffer. ;Once the condemnation of Savage, his deportment been becoming his situation ; his contrition was deep, and he appeared to be sincere. Nue did he permit the great interval which laned between his condem na ti on an d th e o r d er f or bi s execut i on , to uny Into up with hopes of escape. lie did not seem to expect that the decision of the Judges could be favourable to him. A short time previous to his execution, he made a full confession of the crime fin whirls he was about to suilr to the Rev. Brown, the chaplain to the prison, as well an of the other enormities in which he had been concerned. This lie partially repeated to others; hut as another individual is about to he put to his trial fur the sonic of. fice, it would lie nianitestly unjust further to allude to them in this place, otherwise than by saying that he denied the accuracy of l'ooke's (the accomplice) evidence; and declared that it was the match which Cooke held that hadkred the premises ; the bunch which he himself applied to the thatch having gone out ; however he ex pressed his hearty forgiveness of him, and of all others. A few minutes before II o'clock the mournfu l procession left the county gaol; the ;widener, his irons being knocked off, was placed in a cart with his coffin, on which, being in akonling posturc,he rested his arms, at the Mime time concealing his face. On entering the common he raised his had and Indeed around him, apparently in search of the fatal tree, but which being concealed by the interven ing hills lie again dromml Ins fare in lux arms. At the momentary view we then had of his countenance, it seemed tranquil and steady; his cheek wait florid; and although it could not be said that his ap pearance was hardened, yet he seemed not so much affected by the awfulness of his cendition n. ninny of the surrounding spectatorn. Hewes attended upon the scaffold by the Rev: Chaplain, whose con solatory exertions were rontininal to the last moment. After the rope was adjusted round the neck of the wretched culprit, the un happy man addressed the people. Ile. confessed the justice of the sentence, and exhorted them to abstain frequenting ale-houses, and to attend to some place tit worship at least since on a Sunday, few it WAX hail company and the profanation of the Sabbath that led hint to a laid course of life ; but it was using to the Mill Here the Heider Sheriff gave the haul signal, and the unfinished sentence was abruptly termitmad with the lite of the wretched victim to un governable passions. Ile appeared to suffer much Ii his transit trout this world to eternity ; for sonic time his body writhed in drenlftil contortion; and full ten minutes elapsed, ere life appeared to he entirely extinct. Tile dreadful crime (arson) fur which Savage suffivetl, precluded the exercise of much sympathy in his behalf; and although his professional advisers deemed it right to tarry his case behave the Judget, yet no desire was expressed by the public to pnscure that mitigation of punishment which in all probability would have been extended to a less heinous offender, in ccinsequence of' the delay. DREADFUL FIRE, AND SCARCITY OF WATER. Oa Christmas Eve, about eight o'clock in the evening, this workmen employed in the t vtresive manufactory of Mr. Bradford, leather and silk japanner, situated in Ann-street. Spafields, left oft work, ant were regaled at a neighbouring public-house with toast and ale by their toaster, Mr. Bradford having first satisfied himself, as war his wonted custom, that all was safe in the premises. After paying the coned he went home to his private residence. No. 4, Tyree-street, about I:di yards from the factory, and in a few minutes after the news came to hint that the entire of the premises were in flames, and that it was the general fear of the inhabitants that the whole neighbourhood would be included in the conflagra tion, owing to the vast quantity of varnish, turpentine, anti other inflammable materials that were known to be in the building. Ales sengers were instantly despatched for the engines, and in a very short space of lime those of the Sun. Beacon, Royal Exchange, and other offices. arrived on the spot. At this time the Hanna hail not bunt through the roof, which was constructed or cot iron, and enclosed with a composition called zinc, instead of tiles it slates; but the interior Of the building. which is upwatds of 21e) feet in length, extending from Ann-street into %rilliatii-street, resembled a spacious furnace. The most indescribable confusion and ahem) prevailed in conse quence of the insufficient supply of water, although the premises almost joined the New River Head; it was full half an hour before any water could be obtained from the plural in IVA. liani-street, and then • very scanty supply was furnished. In Ann-street the want of aster was more severely felt than in Wil liam-street ; and it was the general opinion, that had the engines been actively plied with that necessary article, that wing of the budding would have been rescued from the devouring element. At about nine o'clock, notwithstanding the impregnable nature of the fossil or sine, the dames burst through the roof with terrific fury, and threatened total devastation to all around. The house, No. 11. in 'William -street, occupied by Mr. Nicoll. was discovered to have caught tire in the rear, and the family were necessitated to take refuge in a ceiFhbour 's house. The houses in tit. Helena-Owe, the hacks of which ran on a parallel with the premise's, ware considered in the utniest danger ; their destruction seemed inevitable. The scene here was beyond description—the occupiers of the houses, who were all of the middle class, were seer. running in every direction with their little property, and the field in front of the houses was covered • ith every description of fund tare. Such was the impetuosity of the themes, that all attempts to rescue any of the stock contained in the premises from the destruc tive element were funnel to be ineffectual, and the whole fell • prey to its ravages. We are informed by Mr. Bradford, that this period of the season being his busiest time, the premises contained considerable pro. petty. consisting of leather, silks, and cloths, which had been sent him to be pubahett ; that he was insured in the linperial, but was confident he should be a considerable sull.rer by the calamity, owing to his business being considered treble hazardous. therefore the pre of insurance was very heavy. By twelve o'clock the flames were entirely subdued, leaving these extensive premises a heap of ruins. The origin of the fire cannot be ascertained, but there tieing se. veal stoves on the premises, in which tires are kept tlay and night, it is piesunual that it must have originated from their being t,, , er_ heated, or that the stoking.hole door had been left open, from which a spark escaped, and communicated to some of the Itillam. inside articles kept in die fActery. The skeleton oh the iron roof still remains, and has a very singular appearance; about four years since it cost SOUL Fi a Es.—On IVednes4lay evening, about half-past five o'clock, a fire broke out in premises in Long Millgste, oc cupied by a pawnbroker named Thorneley, which in a very short time were entirely destroyed, with the whole, or nearly the whole of the property they contained, including the account books ; but the fire was prevented from spread ing to the adjoining houses, for the safety of which consi derable apprehensions were at one time entertained. Va rious opinions arc suggested, and some to which we cannot at present allude, as to the origin of the fire. The property was insured in the Norwich Union Office, to the amount of 1,300/. in .June last. On Thursday evening about the same hour, a tire broke out in the premises of 31r. IValins ley, wadding-manufacturer, in Deal -street, Salford ; but was got under in a very abort time, and with very trifling loss.—Mancht stcr Grornhan. Lr►.nt, lire. 24.—The late incessant rains have pro duced one of the greatest floods of the river Aire, which has occurred for the last thirty years. The water began to rise rapidly in the forenoon of Wednesday, and continued to increase until nine o'clock in the evening, when it reached its highest elevation. At that time the whole of the streets on the south side of the bridge were under water, in some parts of Water-lane it was upwards of two feet, and in Ilimslet-lane, which is more elevated, it was fourteen inches in depth. All the cellars and most of the shops and houses on the gtountl floor were tilled with water. The strength atul impetuosity of the cut tent in the channel of the river was so great as to wash away the embankment wall for the length of fifty )arts in Water-lane, by which means the •road has fallen in nearly seven feet in breadth The toll-bar and wooden house at Waterloo Ford were swept awry, as was shin a bridge erected over the Aire, near KUkstall, called Red-eoat Bridge. A sand boat be longing to Mr. Teal was driven from its moorings, and a great numb:r of trees were floated down the river. But we are glad to state, that this alarming inundation has not been fatal to life, so far as we have been able to learn, in a siogle installer. The following etrcumstance, so honourable to the parties conettned, and so well deserving of imitation, we mention with great pleasure :—light years ago, a gentleman of the, name of Nash, residing in Noble -start, Loudon. who had rather extensive mercantile transactions in the West Hiding of this county, became insolvent from adverse circum stances, and made a composition with his creditors of ten shillings in the pound, for which they gave hint it release from en 7 futtber eiann. Since that • • fortune has smiled upon Its undertakings, and on Monday last he i:ave his I' lll ' 6 Ni invitation to dinner at the Rose and Cfonn, in I lud,l,Ts!:eld, when be amuntriced his intention to pay all his tL hot in full, and presorted those present with checks upon his banker to the amount of several thonsuol pounds. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the cute* •a:nnlent which fellowed was enjoyed by all parties: and the creditors, to mark their settee of his honourable conduct, have resolved to present Mr. Nash with a splen did piece of plate of the value of one hundred hh . stinfz an appropriate inscription. in which a iust romp mem will be paid to his honour and probity.—Leeds Mercury. _ _ The fever prevails, to a s,:rious extent, iu Man- PROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

During he r absence, however, the eldest child li: a match; in doing which her clothes caught fire, and in her alarm she ran into a back home, where was a quantity of straw, to which the Arc communicated, and bland 4' rapidly as soon to reduce the housi, and an adjoining ra:- tage to a heap of ruins, destroying the whole of the pro perty of this . poor, industrious family. But the mint heart-rending circumstance attending this fatal event that the child perished in the flamed, the head and litnitt being entirely consumed, and the trunk alone reniainini ; the two younger children were providentially saved. A re markable circumstance attending the above eo etlagrition is, that the child who fell a victim to the devouring ele ment rose up in her bed two nights before, and, to lice sleep, cried to her mother to take her from the tire. 111ARRIED. 4)n Thursday last, Captain J. 11.
