HASH, Chief Cashier. ALARMING Fla.—Yesterday morning, about a quarter before five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in the King's ' Arms tavern, Philip-lane, Aldermanbury. Mr. tt. Wllby, land. lottl of the house, his family, and a number of travellers who fre quent It, had scarcely time to escape from the couflagration, which went on so rapidly that the Plasttrera' flail, on the one side, Mr. Coombe's house on the other, and the surrounding buildings, must have been Injured had it not been for the timely arrival of the Union, Globe. Albion, and other engines. With a good supply of water they confined the flames to the spot of their origination. We are sorry to add, that .Mr. Kays, a traveller, in whose room the fire commenced, owing to his not.having put out the light, in dread fully burn:. He Ica also lost considerable property, and few, if any, have Tot oft tree of loss. They were all obliged to fly through the streets, undressed, to the watehhouse, where they met a shelter. MELANCHOLY CATABTI:OPHE.--011 the morning of the 10th ult. as C. W. Downes, Di.iond two other gentlemen, were ou on a shooting excursion, between Gerby and Ashby.ole.la.Ziouch, thew were attracted to a triangular-formed hovel, by the unusual barking of their dugs. During the night a deep snow had fallen, which the current had drifted into the hovel to a considerable depth. On pashiug away an old hurdle, which sae placed agt.inst one of the entrances, they found theremnins of a miserable family, consist. tug to a man, his wife, and four children, who had inefVectually sought this miserable retreat to shield them from the pitiless pelting of the storm. The body of the father was frozen, and close to breast lay the r ema i ns o f hi s son an d daughter , the former about live and the latter nitwit seven years of age. Between his knees was the body of a fire line, about three years of age, and close to his side were evended tilt. remains of Ins wife, with the only ete.. vim, an infant of a few months old, vainly endeavouring to drawt the current of life from the chilly hresiata of its departed mother. Assistance was called, but every effort to restore intonation prowr d ieeffcental. all of them bring dead, except the infant, which ha,, sti! . vivell the thole of its ill-fated family.—Glultecacr Journal.

Dliddlasex Sittings at Nit4i Prius berme the LORD Cu[EC JCS• TICE and Common Jurie..] THE NEVV COURT. _ Mr. SCARLETT this morning complained to the Lord Chief Justice of one great inconvenience which arose from the construction of the new Court. The same entrance that was appropriated to the King's Counsel and the bar was also accessible to the public generally, in consequence of which, by the repeated opening of the door, a continual current of air constantly played upon the King's Counsel, which not only rendered their seats extremely inconvenient, but also dangerous to their health. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that when the plan of this Court was submitted to him for his approbation, • very different arrangement appeared to have been made, or he should not have sanctioned it. Mr. SCARLETT stated that Mr. Soane, the architect, had pro. mined to make a separate entrance for his 3lsjesty's Counsel. • The LORD CHIEF JurricE then said he knew It was the In tendon of Mr. bonne to have made such an arrangement, but it was not his fault that the original plan had not been adhered to. The fault existed elsewhere. 111 r. SCARLET T then begged his Lordship would order that the door alluded to might not be open to the egress and regress of the public, which his Lordship accordingly ordered. IILVIR r. ELLISON ARD 4oßDox. This was an action brought by an attorney, residing at Ciren. ee.ter, to recover the sum of 144/.lBs. 7c1., as election agency charges, from the detendants, Colonel Ellison and Mr. Gordon, who were candidates for the borough of Wootton Basset in March 1829. _ Mr. Taunton and Mr. Comyn conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Scarlett appeared for the defendants. The first witness called was Mr. Joseph Randolph Mullins, who stated that in 1820 he was articled clerk to Sir. Bevir, the plain tiff; and being sell acquainted with the electioneering concerns, as well as most of the voters of Wootton Bassett, he rude over there on the 19th of February, 1020, where he met tile defendants, who were about to commence a canvass, in which the witness tendered his assistance; the defendants thanked him, and said that they wished very much for his services, on which the witness said, that though he should be very glad to do every thing to serve the de fendants as a matter of courtesy, yet if his professional aid was re quired, he niust inform Mr. Bevir, in whose employ he was._ The de fendants said it mattered very little to them whether he was clerk to Mr. Bevir or not, as all they wanted was his services. The witness then accompanied the defendants in their canvass, assisted getter. ally in all the business at the election, made several journeys upon the subject, and did all is hid power to procure their return. The amount now demanded was a reasonable charge for the services that had been rendered, and the defendants had paid the witness at a much more liberal rate for the services rendered int a petition against the return, subsequently made to the !louse of Commons. On cross-examination the witness said he had rexived 1500/. from the defendants, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the election. tie volunteered his services without tiny solicitation, and those services were accepted. He knew Mr. Pitt, who had great interest in Wootton Bassett, and be was engaged in that gentleman's interest. Ilia services were offered and accepted with the privity of Mr. Pitt. Mrr Tau NTON now put in a letter addressed to the last witness by Colonel Ellison, in whirh he recognised the services rendered, end treated the witness as his professional adviser, as well as his `• very sincere friend." The LORD CitiEr JUSTICE observed, "en much for election. tioneering friendship." Sir. SCARLET T now addressed the Jury for the defendants, and said he was very much obliged to his Learned Friend fur putting in the letter that had just been read, inasmuch as tt ex plained the whole transaction. The fact was that Mr. Mullins was the person retained, and Mr. Bevir had nothing to do with the transaction. Moreover, tin account whatever had been given of the 1,5001. nor had any bill been delivered, or any refusal to pay' proved. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel sub mitted that he was entitled to a verdict in favour of his clients. 111 r. TAtrivroN now submitted that ill Wilt's, being the artioled clerk to Air. Bevir, his services must he considered for and on account of his master. The LORD Cities JUSTICE—I ant of a different opinion. Mullins is the person whose services are retained, and there is no law that I am aware of which renders it necessary that an election eering agent should be an admitted attorney. Mr. Scant.trr-.-No, your Lordship. The bill is not even tax able; and an account ought to be given of these 1,500/. whi c h I conceive were amply sufficient for any services that were yen dered. Tat.rx.rox then offered to explain, by the witness Mullins, on what account the 1,5001. had been advanced, and how they had been expended. The Lonn CIIIEF JOSLICE—I ant of opinion it is much too late for that now. I have received that gentleman's amended testi mony once, and I will not have it again, when he sees where the shoe pinches. Ills Lordship then proceeded to charge the Jury that no case had been made for the plaintiff ; on which Mr. TAUNTON said, if that was the impression on his Lord ship's mind, he would withdraw the record, and submit to a non. suit. Nonsuit entered. 'FIIE XING O. BRAND AND UX. This was an indictment against the defendants for an assault and battery committed upon the wife of Levi Levi. At the instance of the defendant it had been removed into this Court by Certiorari. Mr. .%RCHIIOLD, for the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury. The defendant, Mr. Brand, was what was called a " duffer," which meant nothing mon, or less than a person who sold " real India hatidkcichicht" that were manufactured in Spitallields, and " excellent watches warranted to go well," which in tact had no work.,, in them. The present assault arose from the circumstance that Mrs. Levi on some ocusion prevented Mr. Brand from palm. ing off one of these sham watches upon some innocent dupe, which had FO incensed the defendants, that having met Mrs. Levi on the evening of the II th of May last, they commenced an assault upon her, tore het bonnet, and otherwise maltreated her. These facts were then sw orn t o by t h e p rosecutr i x , an d ot h er witnesses. The Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Adolphus, who ap. peared for the defendants, whether he could controvert these facts. Mr. ADOLI`IMS said he had several witnesses to tender, who would swear that they were present, and that they did not see the assault committed ; but he thought it better to bring their testi. 'stony before the Court on af f idavits, when the defendants should be brought up for judgnient. Tho Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found the defendants —Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TUESDAY, FEL 14. Btfurc the LORD CHIEF JUSTICZ and Common Jury. OARRATT BUCETHORPE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, aga i nst the defendant, to recover damages for an assault. :tin Sergeant VAUGHAN said the plaintiff was one of a party of young gentlemen who had been spending the evening together at smite Chambers in firay's Inn-lane, anti who, having left these Chambers for the purpose of sojourning to those of another friend, residing in Chancery-lane, were there arrested in their journey by a watchman, because some harmless joke escaped them referring to this night-guardian's dignity. The plaintiff was thereupon forcibly seised and lodged in the watehi louse . Th e present action was brought with a view to public benefit rather titan with any desire to exact damages. Mr. Sergeant TanbY on the defendant's behalf cross-examined the evidence in support of the plaintiff, with a view to extract from the wineries that they had been malting too free during the evening; but it was denied that more than a bo tt l e an d a h alf of wine had been drank by the whole party. The Learned Sergeant then addressed the Court, and observed, that this action, brought so patrioti cally, as had been stated, for the public benefit, as a caution to watchmen, w as in fact an effort made by the plaintiff; who wit his own solicitor, to profit by the cnats. lie might, and probably would but for this, have proceeded by intlicuuent, which would have been the fairest way. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, eamstren one shilling. Mr. Sergeant TADDY hoped his Lordship would certify. . The Loan Cutzr JUSTICE thought he ought not ; the man being decidedly in the wrong. The Foreman Of the Jury observed it was the wish ef that each party should pay their own costs, M order that thee trifling actions might be discouraged. The Loan CHIEF Juirr ICE—That being the impression ~f the Jury, I will certify, certainly. CHIDLES V. BULL. This was also an action to recover damages for an assault. Mt. Sergeant TADDT laid this was an artier', against the ee. feudist, who was a butcher. residing in Oreat Chapel•street, IVESt• minster, brought by the plaintiff, to recover damages for a ssras beating which he had sustained. It appeared the plaintiff was a lad, and had been in the ant's employ, which be left, and that while under the defendant, steel had been given to him, which the lad thought himself en.tticd to retain possession of. He accordingly called on the clefts ~ !sr• for it, but it being still witheld, the plaintiff became ITri?P'el whereupon the defendant followed the lad into the street, b eat him with a stick till it broke. then knocked him down twice, and kne4 violently upon his hod& An officer going past interfered, and tl e p nd taken to th e wa n The defence was that plaintiff had gone to the defendas.t's Intoxicated and behaved himself outrageously ill.

These Sessions yesterday commenced before Francis Cons%) who, we are happy w state, has so sufficiently recovered iron. weakness in his eyes, under which he has of late laboured, be able to attend to his public duties. EXTRAORDINARY AND GROSS OUTRAGE. iniliamlprinstned indicted for assaulting, and falsely imp., sorting for the space of 12 hours, Moses Abraham Collis, and a!sl for assaulting his wife. lllr.PttlLLlvsstated the case to the Jury, as one of the mat wanton and aggravated abuse of authority. The prosecutor, • glass -cutt er , r es i s ting at 109, (heat Saffln. hill, stated, that on the night of the oth of January last, as he wet going to bed, he was alarmed by a most violent knocking, first at the door of his next neighbour, and afterwards at his own. On going to the window, he saw the defendant in the act of hammering the door with a stick. Witness went down to the door and asked him what he wanted, to which he replied, that somebody had thrown water upon him from out of window, and he was deter mined to knock at every house right and left till he found the right one. Witness assured him it was not from his house that the wa. ter was thrown, and seeing he was intoxicated, advised hint tugs peasahly home. This he refused doing, and became at last •0 troublesome and noisy, that witness was obliged to give hint ;a charge to the watchman. On arriving at the watchhouse the de. fendant announced himself to be the constable of the night, and seating himself in the chair appropriated to that dignitary, ri;led out his staff, and exclaimed, • Now here I am, lam king cr the castle ; let's hear what complaint you dare to make against n. r." Witness replied, that he could not think of making the compiahn to hint, against himself, but that he would prefer his compicin• next morning before the Magistrates, at Hatton-garden. " Mad what you say." was the reply of his worship the Dogberry of th e night, "or I'll have you l oc k e d u p." Th us warned the wimess deemed it most prudent to retire, and had got home, and was Cicut to retire to bed, when he was again alarmed ! by a violent kno c ki ng at his door, which, as before, he found p led from the de Weed. ant, who was accompanied by a watchman, and a patrol, and in. I slated on the door being opened, as he had come, he said, to taz witness into custody. Mule= refused letting him in, and ..... mediately commenced forcing the door, whieh being 'but sligh,ly secured, he easily effected, and immediately seized witness on ere side, while the watchman who accompanied him, held hint on de ether, and the patrol stood over him with a drawn cutlass. called to his wife to fetch assistance, and on her attempting to psi for the purpose; the defendant swore at her, and struck her a via. lent blow on the shoulder with his staff. He was dragged to the eatchhouse, locked-up in the hole, and although two re. spectable housekeepers offered to be bail for him, the de fendant refused to accept them, and declared that if the King of England himself came to bail him, he would not acc-pt him. The next morning he was taken before the Illagistrates at Hatton-garden, who, on hearing the case, not only dismissed the complaint peril-wed against him, but also strongly advised the pre sent proceeding. Mrs. Collis confirmed the above tesitmony, and also added, that to violent was the blow she received, that she was obliged to have no less than 1p leeches applied in the course of the two hollow. lag days. Several neighbours also were called, who proved the conduct of the defendant to have been most violent and unjustifiable. Mr. HARRY addressed the Jury for the defendant, anti envies. 'mired to make it appear that the complainant had assaulted the defendant with a poker, at the time of his forcing the door of the house. Two witnesses were called for this purpose, who however pre. raricated so grossly, that the Court refused to listen to them. The Char KHAN, in summing up, characterised the case atone of the most wanton, violent, and unpardonable abuses of authority of which he had ever heard. The Jury unhesitatingly returned a verdict of Coldly on both indictments. The CHAIRMAN sea that the conduct proved against the pri soner was so calculated to excite the indignation of those that heard it, that perhaps it would not be right to pass any judgment on the instant, and he should therefore deter so doing for a day or two, in the mean time he would be kept in custody. In the course of the day the Grand Jury returned into Court a true bill against Eduard Lawson end James Lawson, for felony.
