Rigby,"r th Parade, which spread and raged with great violence till near morning. The alarm was early given by bells and beat of drum ; the inhabitants collected with great alacrity, and their active endeavours, though they proved for a long time apparently unavailing, ultimately succeeded in suppress ing the flames. The damage, however, is very considerable, but of its extent there can he yet no estimate. Nearly the whole of the hack stores of Messrs. 13a;t1, Dunshee, and Co. have been destroyed, with a large quantity of merehaudize, which it was found impossible to get out, from the rapid in crease of the fire. All the back premises of Mr. William Rigby are burnt down, and it was only by the greatest exer tion- that his dwelling-house and that of Alr. Robertson were preserved from total destruction ; the houses fronting the Parade are all razed to the ground, except Mr. Moss's brick dwelling, which fortunately escaped, although not without injury. sparks and flakes from the fire were car ried to a great distance' liythe strong wind prevailinwat the time, and set fire to sonic houses on the south side of thp Parade ; but timely attention and exertion prevented its spreading. The conflagyatinti has exceeded any that ever occurred in this town, within our recoil. etion, not only with respect to the buildiogs, but the, amount of property con surned.• We regret to a.id, that. much has been stolen and plundered by some callous hearted villains, who took advan tage of the confusion to commit their execrable depredations. We lament to learn that same lives were lost, hut the par ticulars are not correctly known to us. It is.reported that a serjeant of the garrison was killed, and that a private has had his head fractured —and that a seaman, belonging.. to the brig Henry, was killed, having fallen from an engine, and had his head crushed by one of the s heels. Nov. 18. We are gratified to find that the serjeant who was said to have been killed at the late fire is not dead, and that some hopes are entertained tsf his rveOvety,fas well as of that ofthe private soldier; who was also seriously injured. Another Sapplementory Gazette resp,ecting India, ‘vas . published this- morning, but the dispatches relate entirely to trifling affairs, results ui which have been already made known to the . TH& Fens.—Considerable . fluctuations took this morning in the price of the Funds ; Consols commenced at 731 for Money, and 744 for the Account ; an immense quantity of Stock was immediately thrown upon the Market, and they fell to 721 for Money, and 73 for the Account.— Two very considerable failures, on rite Continent, were announced ; one of them at Havre had very extensive dealings with this Country; The distress for money continues, and the numerous Bank ruptcies, Compositions, and Meetings of Credi tors, have put a stop to all confidence. Public Securities are falling in proportion. India Bonds, which were a sh art time back at 96. premium, were done this morning at 258 ; Exchequer Bills were on Saturday at 12s Discount. To-day they are at 7s. A great quantity of Stock has been carried over from last account until to-morrow, which is the reason assigned for the present depression. . _ If it were possible to suppose that the Electors of Westminster, after the scenes which they have daily, witne,sed before the Hustings, could chase Mr. Honnouse, the advocate tor. Annual Parlia- Meats >tncl Universal Suffrage, it must be supposed also' that rhey are totally destitute of common sense. If the Legislature could be induced to enact a law, admitting Annual Parliaments, the , same scenes would rake place every year through- O a t d u ! British Empire, the business of the 'in tim' would then be totally at a stand, and no thing but confusion and ruin would ensue. • Uni versal Suffrage would be attended with the same consequences. The majority of Electors.through out the United Empire would be exposed to cor ruption and the arts of eemocratical orators, and the Representative Body, if a Representative Body could be for,i.ed amidst such confusion and anar ci►y, Wlelild consist of none but artful rogues and ambitious vagabonds. The lower classes of the people would then gain the ascendant, if a Mili tary Power did not overwhelm them, and all the horrors, the garnage, and the despotism that 'narked the progress and close of the French Re volution, would be the inevitable result. \Vill the Electors then choose such a man as Mr. HOB.. HOUSE, the advocate for these ruinous doctrines, to be their Representative ? Will they not rather manifest , their contempt, their indignation, and their rooted horror against the pretensions of a person whose avowed principles are calculated to produce such di'reful consequences Will they not also maniiest the same contempt and detestation towards Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who, by bringing forward this Jacobinical Upstart, plainly demon- Strates that hisown principles are congenial ? Rouse up, Electors! drive these Political Hypocrites into the ignominious obscurity which best becomes them; and though Mr. LAMB ranks among the bands, of Opposition, he is attached to the Constitution of the Country—he is supported by some of the most distinguished Families in the Kingdom,, those who have a vital interest in the preserva- ; tion of that Political Fabric which has long been the Sanctuary of, all our Rights; and which has long rendered us . the happiest People on the face of the Earth.

NAGLE, was in pOblie on Saturday, since which his Royal Highness has not palsed the boundariei of the- POrilion: H e is expected to return to Carlton-house to-morrow., WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

Duat.AN,• Fes. 26.—This morning, about half past one o'clock, a most alarming fire was disco vered to have broken out in the little Theatre, Capel-street, The Paving Corporation's water machines were in attendance a quarter of en 1)0111' before any of the fire engines arrived : when the en gines reached the - spot, they were oily supplied • with the Paving Carts for an hour, until the street could be opened in order to obtain water from the pipes. We have no hesitation in saying that if r the Engines had not been promptly and abun dantly supplied by the Water machines, th'e whole of the surrounding building would have been destroyed.. Considering the had management of the Pipe-water Corporation, it has frequently occurred matt, that it wonl , l be very advantageous to the public if a powertul Fire Engine was at tached to the Paving Board Machines, Which for more than fOur years, have frequently been the only means of furnishing writer for extinguishing fire in this City.! IVe noticed with pleasure the activity of Mr. Sheriff White, whose endea vours to animate the spectators' to subdue the de• youring element, had a powerful effect in saving the adjoining houses. The Theatre itself being constructed of wood, which was all on fire, pre sented a most awful scene. On Saturday night, between seven and eight o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the house Mt.. Chambers, 'coal.tnerchant, ‘VellingtOn street, Blackfriars,road, which destroyed the upper part of the house, and damaged the adjoin ing houses. On the arrival of engines, and having a good s upply of water, the Harney were prevented doing further mischief. We did not hear how it originated. • • Lientenant.General HALL, late Governor of the Isle of Fiance, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, in the Alexander, Captain'SUßFLON.
