Accompanying this notice article, in which the writer en hitherto reserved on &bits city, he is at least as well intim... who. has repeatedly hazarded various apeculau probability of a contest; and lie only, now casts off 45.,. serve, the time not having yet arrived When he intended to he mote explicit, in consequence of our" dippa because art inference may be drawn from hie riorla to the object he has in view. The ignorance or the information of this writer is a Ou ter of complete Indifference to us. He may have riff the knowledge to which he pretends, or he may even poem more than his modesty will Rafter him to avow ; but, for any thing he liaa disclosed, we must only taken trait hie own asOurance that he i 4 the important perto»age i ht: repre sents. As to his correct;ons of what we stated touching the requisition to Mr. Smith Barry, except upon one point they amount to nOmore than this—that, whereas ice Enid the document, frog all we could learn, would not carry with it the weight and importance which would *induce Mr. Barry to comply with it, the writer in the Morning Paper sap, "it has been most respectably signed,!: snif. Om be has good teason to believe it will be acrepted. Now, that a document may be respectably signed, and yet not carry with it the weight and importance which would induce a person to comply with it, is quite reconcileade and consistent therefore we throw no imputation on the indi vidual respectability of those who signed the stequisirion whet we say that, collective! . y. they did not paean; etifficient weight or influence te *duce a complianie with their wishes. As to the writer's good reason for believing that the invitation will be accepted, all we have to say now is, that we have no reason to alter the opinion we hive already expressed—that Mr. Smith Barry will not contest the Hc presentation. The requisiti o n, it appears, has been.for warded. Upon this point we are satisfied to take the Morning Paler as authority, the proprietors of:hat jour nal having had, fora while at least, the cne of the docu ment ; though we have heard it did not thrive under their auspices. The accounts which have in the Papers of the lament able accident on the Myer to Mr. Brown, R.N. and two other in dividitals, on Sunday last, are inaccurate in moat of the particelare. A Coroner's Inquest was held un Tuesday at Porficet, Essex, upon the body Mune of the unfortunate sufferers, when the follow ing circumstances were stated in evidence:— , Mr. Lynch. u feather-merchant in More-fields, and his wife. had been for some days on a visit to the family of Mr. Brown, the Mas ter Intendant of Woolwich Dock Yard, whose son, a fine youth of about 13, a Midshipman in the Royal Navy, returned to England in from a foreign station, about a month ago, the Briton frigate, since paid off; preparatory to refitting. On Sunday morning it was proposed to take a sail in a anima sloop-rigged plearure vessel, of about 14 tons, formerly belonging to Abe Commissioners of the Dock Yard ; and as soon as the tide served, Mr. Brown, jun , Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Burleigh, of NYoolwich, accom tanied by a labouring man who . is employed in the Docks fan old man-of-war's-man) to assist, set sail down the River with a westerly- wind. Mrs. Lynch was to have accompanied them but, suddenly became rather unwell, and declined the .trip. The boat reached (freenbithe (where the writer of this statement saw them) 'boat o'clack, and afcr taking some refreshment at Mr. Sharpe's, the White l lart Tavern, they agaid got under way, in teading to return to Woolwich to dinner. This was about half put one o'clock. The wind Idea fresh, and by the advice of the Oreenhithe watermen ' they took a single reef in the mainsail. They turned up as far as abreast of Puttee, when the wind freshened still more, and was very puffy, and by the advice of the man.of-war'a-man, they lay to, to take in a second reef. Mr. Brown was then at the helm, and very properly kept the boat's head well in the wind for some ;moments ; but, unhappily, before the (ark of tektite; in the reef was tom ted, he pot the helm a.wcathev, the sails filled, and a strong -coming just at that rooa.ent, she went on her beam-ends, nk almost instantly. The man-of-wer's.man, finding the boat trig, sprung from her side, and being a tolerable swimmer, struck out strongly, and was' picked up by some watermen who put oft' as speedily as possible from Purfleet. Mr. Brown and Mr. Borkigh went down with the boat, and were nut seen again. M. Lynch, who lost an arm some years ago by an accident, and had a substeuteof cork, smart) for some dine, and then sunk, but hc.ving again risen 'to the surface, he was taken up by some watermen and carried ashore. Life, however, had fled; no medical aid can be procured at a less dis. lance than four miles, and before that could arrive all hope of re suscitation was, of course, r.t ar etid. The watermen and several ships' boata dragged for the bodies of Messrs. Brown and Burleigh during the whole of Monday, but without success. The Corouer's Jury returned a verdict Accidentally nail." Mr. Brown was a fiu? young man, and had just screed the usual time as Midshipman to entitle him to pass for Lieutenant., It is rather singular that the Briton, in which he served, after hbr ar. • rival in the river, was anchored for some days close abreast of Pur- Neat. , The boat was with much difficulty raised on Monday afternoon. She was nearly filled with sand. She had abent nee tons of ken ballast in her, which accounts perhaps, in some measure, for bee sinking so rapidly.

EXECUTION AT LANCASTJ On Saturday last, Patricrirrierti, aged 22, convicted of hav ing robbed Mr. Dennis Clipshant, on the highway, near Manches ter, and John Wainwright, aged W, for assaulting and stabbing Thomas Pomfret and Joseph Moors, with intent to disable them, were both executed on the drop behind the Cadre at Lancaster. From the time of their condemnation, they were both extremely pe nitent, admitting their guilt, and the justice of their sentence. On Thursday Rafferty was visited by his wife, who had come over from Itathone, in Ireland, the native place of her husband, to tak her leave of him. Wainwright was a native of Ashton, in this county; he was also visited by his wife on Friday, and their parting was extremely affecting. 'Pie prisoners partook of the Sa crament about eleven o'clock, and at twelve o'clock were brought on the fatal seafthld. The platform on which the unfortunate men stand is divided In the middle, and hangs upon hinges, so that one half falls on each side, and each is upheld by a screw or bolt at each end of die drop. After the Chaplain had read the burial service, die executioner pro ceeded to turn the handle, by which the bolts at each end of the platform are withdrawn ; but in consequence of the two halves of the platform not being placed exactly square, only one of the bolts was unfastened, and of course only one half of the platform fell. It happened that both the men were standing upon the half which remained, and were consequently left standing. They were evi. dently much agitated by this unfortunate circumstance, for each part of the platform being heavy, the fall caused the whole machine of death to vibrate, and the wretched criminals were apparently pe. trilled with horror. Two men instantly went down to assist the executioner, and the remaining part of the platform, on which they were standing, was then forcibly hurled down, and they were both launched into eternity. Their sufferings seemed to be of a very short duration. After they had hung for an hone, they were taken down, and the body of Wainwright was given to his friends, who were' waiting to take it away. Rainy was buried In the evening' a: Lancaster. We understand that the drop le made after the manner of the one used at Newgate ; and when the immense - had dispersed, the men who had the manage several times put up the platform sad caused to limiest the defect, ead.rsaidy N fee Ibel Memory, Sept. 12. A most destructive fire broke out in the Latta belonging to the Lodge Flinn, in Woodham Mortimer, on Thursday morning. last, about eight o'clock, the cause of which is involved in much mys tery. A man named Rule, with his son-in-law,' a youth abou. 13 years of age, entered the barn about six o'clock, no other person being present, and at no shoe were both absent from that barn, um ail the lire.discovered itself. Ten minutes before the alarm of fire was given, R'ule's boy left the barn ; on his return, he saw his father runering from it, with his clothes on his ems, calling out "tire!" Twenty minutes before this occurred flute had bean upon the bay where the tire was first observes?, to throw down a fresh floor of sheave; ; at which time he declares he saw no tire, neither did he smell any : but within the twenty minutes, as the man himself acknowledges, the bay humwhizh lie hat! thrown the sheaves presented a blaze of fire ; that before he saw the tire, his attention was arrested by the cobwebs filling upon him ; and the roof of the horn, he says, fell in at the same instant. Before we proceed in our detail, in order time Rule May have the benefit of the good character which be beaus, we deem it but justice to state, that he is looted upon by his muter as an honest and inoffensive Individual. flow inestimable is sintrac ter ; dud which now operates so powerfully in favour of the thrasher and his boy ! In what manner then is the tire to be ac counted tor? There was no storm passing over trans which any electric fluid could descend. The peas in the barn, or the barley, it has been suggested, may have heated. Rule declares that he dal not smell any thing like heat,' or perceive that which would bare I been the effect of it. The tire began withinside of the barn, which no person could eater unperceived. In the yard opposite the barn was a man dressing sheep; equally near were some labourers sho velling up dung. Under all these extraordinary circumstances, the cause of the dreadful conflagration which followed remains in I obscurity ; but we hope, ere long, justice will overtake the ofFender, if such originated in malice. '1 he estate belongs to Jeffery Grim wodil, Esq. of Cresaing Temple, and is occupied by his son-in law, J. IL Cozens, Esq. The buildings had but just been finished I they formed a most complete humestall, with die stack-yard i adjoining. In a very short tithe the whole was involved in flames and so rapid was the destruction, that the building s, fences, and stacks were quickly levelled by the devouring element. The pro ' duce of near's , fifty acres of wheat, ten acres of pease, seven acres of barley, two stacks of hay, and some implements, a quantity of corn brought from an adjoining estate; of all this property, scarcely twenty shillings in value was rescued. The residence stands some distance, but it was at one time in danger ; the indefatigable exertions, however, of the gentlemen of the neighbourhood who were present—several from Mahlon and the adjacent parishes—set such an example to the numbers which quickly assembled, as to be the means of preserving the coach. house and stables, as well as a timber building ; the latter appear to have been preserved by a miracle. The engines from Mahlon and Chef:ll46rd were worked in a praiseworthy manner; indeed the exertions of all present are acknowledged by Mr. Cerens in the must grateful terms. Legal means, we understand, will be taken to recover from the Hundred a portion of the loss. We have long thought it to be bad policy in farmers to bring the whole produce of their land to one spot. In the event of a fire, experience has taught them, from whatever cause it may originate, no part can be les. cued ; ard to add to the calamity, the buildings also, in such cases, meet the like fate, the stacks being improvidently placed directly adjoining them. So long as this shall be the practice, M atted of reducing the premium, Fire Offices would be warranted in charging such property as doubly hazardous; and such it was formerly considered ; we therefore doubt the fairness, as well u the soundness of policy, in the reductions which they have made upon this description of insurance. Mr. ofinnwood and Mr. Cozens hold policies in the Essex Economic Association.—Essex Herald. Ft RE.—An extraordinary excitement evinced itself yes terday morning in the neighbourhood of Portland New Town, at the upper end of Paddington, in consequence of a discovery being made by the watchman, at hall.past three o'clock, that the premises of Air. Hark, a tallow-chandler, at the corner of Pool-row, had taken lire. The inmates were soon aroused to a sense of their im. minent danger, and were glad to leave the premises in a state bordering on nudity, as the flames appeared to have taken a firm hold of the upper stories. Every exertion was now made by the assembled watchmen and neighbours to remove as much as pos. Bible of those materials from the shop and cellar as were likely to add to the fury of the devouring element, which now appeared to bid defiance to any attempt that might be made to check its pro. gem. In about half an bout after its commencement (no engine having then arrived) the roof fell in with a tremendous crash, forcing a part of the front wall outwards. At the moment a young man named Dilworth was leaving the shop with a drawer on his head, and was struck to the earth by a portion of the falling brick-work, which, but for the drawer, might have been attended with fatal effects; he, however, escaped unhurt. Strong fears were entertained that the fire had communicated itself, previous to the roof falling, to the adjoining attics on either side, and this was pee -1 tinily confirmed by the appearance of dense smoke from one of the windows. The arrival at this time of two engines fostered the hope that the majority of the damage might be confined to the building from whence it originated; nor was that hope futile, for the exer tions of the firemen, assisted by a tolerable good supply of waver, soon banished the fears for the neighbouring houses, to which a very trifling injury has been done. Before five o'clock it was com pletely • stinguished, but not until the whole of Mr. Harle's pre which were rather exstenive, were reduced to a pile of smoking ruins. The cause of the fire remains at present a mys tery. as there had been no fires in the house on the preceding evening, and the lights had all been seen safely out by Mr. H. himself previous to retiring to rest.

After the usual preliminary toasts, the health of Lord Melville was proposed by the LORD PROVOST. in terms of great feeling and eloquence, in which he alluded to the deep interest his Lordship had always taken in every thing relating to the welfare of Buthind, and of this filen:ninths in particular, and expecially.xoticed she gnat personal labour he had bestowed in making the arrangement, now so happily carried Into effect. respecting the port of Leirb—ein ar rangement calculated to benefit the public at large; and to increase the revenues of the city of.

The Lord Prevost also very feelingly adverted to the obligations Scotland owed to the father r f Lord Melville, from whom he might he, said td Lase received, as an hereditary succession,. that regard for its interests which he had so nobly And amply exemplified. Lord MELVILLE, in that dignified, powerful, and impressive manner, for which he is so much distinguished, replied to the topics alluded to in the Lerd Ptorost's address.

The health of the Lord Register, the Member for the city, being, drunk, he made an elegant and appropriate reply, in the course of which he dwelt upon his obligations to Lord Melville, to whom he was much indebted for co-operation and support whenever lie hal occasion to apply to him on the affairs of the city of Edinburgh. ' To the toast of his Majesty's Ministers," Lord ME.noiLLK returned thanks for himself and his colleagues. and stated, in an energetic manner, the great anxiety they all felt, in a time of no common difficulty, to adopt and pursue those measures which seemed best calculated-to promote and secure the prosperity of Ito nation.

SINGULAR CASE OF POISON FROM THE BITE OF A FLY. • The following has recently been published by M. Frank, Pro vincial Councii/ot and First Burgomaster of Magdeburgh t-- " According to information communicated by a physician of thi. city, a labourer died the day before yesterday, in a neighbouring village, outside my arrondissement, in consequence of the sting of a fly, which he received on the back of Ins left hand, • few-treys befOre. When a physician was called in, die wounded riall . ll hand '*as already in a state of mortification, and he was allected with a lock-jaw. An inhabitant of my departthent has been attacked in like manner by an insect. on the right baud, and the pm has tr.ortitied as far ea the elbow-joint ; IS a that there is little hope of the poor creature's life being preserved. " It may be looked upon as nearly a certainty that the ties which stung those individuals took the poison which they commu nicated from an animal which died, or was sick, of an inftamma don of the spleen. " The Government of this city has already, by a publication cf the 11th of October, 1822, called public attention to the total cense quences which may result to the health of men and other animals, from the poison which proceeds from the inflammation of • the spleen, when treated without due caution In those animal: which are attacked by it ; and it is enough for me, therefore, now to refer to that publication. To the instances already given may be added the report of the Regency of Potsdam, which states run Neve, cal proprietors of cattle have, unfortunately, takes the infection from having touched the mouth, or even a wound in the back.of the animals affected. And there are other examples of people dying who merely bled heifera attacked with this disease. Their bodies were opened and an internal gangrene was discovered with the %Ow} quite relaxed. At Spandau, a woman, who had drank milk. front a cow so diseased, died. In fine, several dogs cad pigs have been found dead, twenty-four hours after eating the Sixth of aeimele that died of the mortification of the apleett.
