FIRE AT M. RICIIAILD CARLILE'S, BOOKSULLEIti IMEET.STRENT. This morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the cry of " Fire, Fire," was heard from the first and second floor windows of Mr. Carlile's house, at the corner of Bride's. passage, and adjoining the site of the very late destructive fire. The smoke was seen issuing from the shop door and windows, and the smell of fire Was very strong. The inmates, who were only just up, were so much alarmed, owing to the thick smoke rushing up stairs, and the lower part being in darkness, that they were fearful of venturing down, and, to escape the dread. fill element, they got on the roof of the house ; but here their situation was if possible more terrifying ; the house stood alone ; it was a corner house ; and the house on the other side, Mr. Mammas, hair-dresser, stood a perfect skeleton, the roof Ail interior being burned in the late fire.— However, several enciines which (in consequence of the fires that happened in that neighbourhood) were on the sp ot, arrived in a few minutes. The shop-door was forced open, and a plentiful supply of water being obtained, they poured in a deluge, and in less than half an hour all danger from fire subsided. — Some of the inmates escaped by a ladder at the first floor window, and the rest, on being assured that the danger was over, ventured to come down stairs. The injury sus tained Li) , the fire is but inconsiderable, but the damage done by the water is very great; the whole of the stock in trade which was in the back shop are totally spoiled and ren dered useless; the furniture also received great injury from the water, and removing: nothing escaped except a few hooks and pamphlets, which were in the small front shop, together with the statue of Thomas Paine. From inquiry we learn that the fire originated from the burning ruins of' Mr. Maumee house, the fire getting the ough the lower part of the wall of Mr. It. Carlile's house, and communicating to the boards of the ground floor, anti counter, and from that to several books and piles of paper. Ilad it happened during the night the consequences must have been dreadful. At eleven o'clock the engines continued playing on the ruins of the ad joining houses, the loose timbers of which laying scattered about, took fire afresh and burned like a furnace. Bilmsu MUSEUM.—The first of the immense columns designed by Mr. SMIRKE for the inte rior of the King's Library, was delivered at the new building yesterday ; they are of the red Peterhead granite, and the shafts (2.1 feet six inches long, in one piece. It is intended to have them highly polished, and as they are the pro duce of our own country, and superior to any brought from Egypt and deposited at the Mu seum, they are interestiug in a national point of view. The Royal Society resumed its sittings o Thursday evening, attended. Sir nuatettaY DAs!'which was very numerou sl y presided, and announced the resignation of Mr. TAYLOR CoomnE, one of the Secretaries, from indisposi tion. A communication was also read, stating the complete success, on an extended scale, of the Learned President's experiments in preserving the copper of ships' bottoms. The Pupils of the Royal Academy of Music be preteat at: the extraordinary musical per‘ formance of Der Freisehult, ut Drury-lanr Theatre, this evening, for which purpose four boxes have been taken, under the sanction of Sir A. I. BARNARD, K.C.B. The Theatre at Whitehaven was opened on Monday, the Bth instant, hay Mr. MuNao, for merly of the Newcastle company. WONDERFUL BALLOON.—The Courier de la Meuse speaks of an air balloon contrived by the celebrated physician Robertson, by which a person might visit all parts of the globe. This astonishing machine, which its inventor will call the Minerva, will, when it shall be raised from the stocks, be 150 feet in diameter, and capable of raising 72,954 killogrammes, or 149,037 French pounds. It will carry 60 persona, provisions fir five or six months, furniture of all kinds, instruments of natural philosophy, of natural history, &c. The machine will consist of a balloon, containing 1,767,150 cubic feet of hydrogen gas, and of a vessel furnished with its cordage and rigging, and weighing 80,537 pounds. It is supposed that the completion of this aerial building will be retarded for some time on account of the want of the sinews of every enterprize— money. TURNING SUPERSTITION TO ACCOUNT.—AbOUI twelve years since a band of impostors, the greater parted their from y the Canton of Zurich, and some from Ark y, employ induste by way-layin g y of hill' the popular i t ) r u e l a a s r u e rc re s th i l mise of a discovery ) I y ity th t e in l d n e t r lst th a e bs pz i and superstitious means. The ceremonies of the Catholic reli gion, the infernal mysteries, the invocation' • of spirits the ap parition of spectres—in short, every thing as Icalculated' to excite the imagination of the multitude. Th l i s s e Y lorr So ciety underwent a sort of organization. Their agents horrible every where distributed. One played the part of a priest; an other figured away as a spectre; some had to personate his In fernal Majesty ; others turned their industry into another chan nel, and amused themselves by coining false money. Mean while, such has been the credulity of the populace during 12 years, that this gang, exercising their infamous trade with im punity, have been fbr the most part successful throughout, and extorted large sums from the peasantry. It is impossible to give a precise account of so long a. period ; but it bas been dis covered that one member of this body has received for his own share nearly 2,400 francs. However numerous their robberies may have been, it is an unfortunate fact that they are far sur passed by the number of acts or immorality caused by their pro ceedings in propagating among the people superstitious igno rance, and a whole host of absurd notions at variance with sound sense. The heads of this band are not yet all apprehended. The pretended Catholic priest has saved himself by flight from the fatehe has so richly earned ; but the spectre is safe housed in In iron cage. This was a woman of the name of Margaret Benz, of lllnau, who has been sentence to the pillory anti to two years imprisonment. A man of the name of John Hart man, of Buttikon, is sentenced to public exposure, to three years imprisonment, and to banishment ; and among those apprehended was perhaps the most dangerous man of the whole troop, and whose skill has entrapped an amazing number of sufferers, by name Henry Plyster, of Schwarzenbach. The six others (for nine only have yet been apprehended) have been sentenced to be flogged, and to an imprisonment for a longer or shorter period. DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the White Lion, Shadwell, on the body of John Durham, aged 18, who was accidentally shot on board the Jehovah collier by a fellow-apprentice. It appeared that the deceased and another boy named Donaldson were ordered to go down and clean the cabin ; they did so, and found the Captain's musket lying in the locker, loaded with small shot ; the boys were larking with it, and Donaldson took up th e piece, presented it at the deceased, and not being aware that it was loaded, he pulled the trigger, and the contents of the gun entered the decease:l's left side, and it is supposed penetrated his lungs. The deceased came upon deck, and having walked two or three paces, fell dead. The Jury expressed surprise and astonishment at the gross negligence on the part of Wilkinson, the Captain, in not drawing the charge, or depositing the gun in a place of safety. Th e y returned a verdict of " A.ccidentul Death."—After the verdict was recorded, the Foreman of the Jury addressed the Coroner,, and said, that the impression on his mind, as well as his brother Jurors, being that the conduct of the Captain in leaving a charged musket so carelessly, was highly imprudent, they wished to express their sentiments to him through the Coroner, that it might prevent his doi n g so in future. THE KING. llPtxoson, Nov. IB.—During the present week his Mt. JESTY has suffered no pain from his slight indisposition, and has regularly dined with his suite; but owing to the damp state of the atmosphere, the King has not taken any outdoor exercise. To-morrow his Majesty will leave the Royal Lodge in his travelling carriage for Carlton Place, where he is expected to dine. ills Majesty's stay in London will not exceed Tues. day or Wednesday next, when the King will return to the Royal Lodge.—Rumours are In circulation that his Ma jesty will proceed to Brighton on the 3st of December. Al. though we have no authority to contradict such statements, yet we can confidently assert, that up to the present period no an rangententato that effect have taken place.--Sir Chas. Stuart arrived yesterday at the Royal Lodge, where he had an audi ence of his Majesty. • L.- .o rr ~„„.,. , .. 4 (to ' - • . 1! . ,-. ,-.. b' i 4 i t, : : - . ILO% ~),* ' ';'- 41 . J. 1 .

The seven first years of life, man's break of day, Gleam of short sense, a dawn of thought display ; When soft springs have bloom'd his downy cheek , His soft and bashful meanings learn to speak : From twenty-one proud manhood takes its date; Yet is not strength complete till twenty-eight : Thence to his five-enui-thirtieth life's gay fire Sparkles, burns bright, and flames in fierce desire ; At ,Potp-fwo his eyes grave wisdom wear, And the dark future dims him o'er with care: With forty-nine behold his toils increase, And busy hopes and fears disturb his peace: At fifty-six cold reason reigns entire, Then life burns steady, and with temperate fire : But sixty-three unbends the body's strength, Ere th' unwcary'd mind has run her length : And when from seventy, age surveys her last, Tired, she stops short, and wishes all were past.

Will LISICAL AN tORAM.-011 Mr. FLETCHEIL'S Promiso of Marriage : JELYL said Synod was jealous of Odd-Sin. AI U 1113E1h—A melancholy occurrence took place at Rastrick, near Halifax, on the sth inst.,' when Jas. Diggles, servant tog John Armytage, Esq., of Lower Woodhouse, was so much wounded as to cause his death. It appeared by the evidence adduced before the Coroner's Jury, that the unfor tunate sufferer, in comparty with John Stott, (gamekeeper to Sir George Armytage), Emanuel Brook, and Enoch Garside, entered the White Lion public-house, in Rastrick, where they found a number of men, some of whom bad been fined fin poaching, in consequence of the evidence of one of the four ; this led to some altercation. Late in the evening the latter party left the house, and were soon followed by the deceased and his companions, three of whom ( niggles, Stott, and Brook) had each a gun, who, after having proceeded so far as Toothill Lane-end, were assailed with a shower of stones Irons the party who had there lain in wait for them. Brook being lamed, he deemed it necessary, in self defence, to discharge his piece among the assailants, but without any material effect. The ruffians now proceeded to close quarters, and having suc ceeded in obtaining possession of the guns, they used the but-ends thereof about the heads of the deceased and Brook.— The latter was supposed to be dead, but the deceased, whose head was dreadfully injured, and a portion of his brains left on the spot, contrived to make his way home, and lingered till Monday, the Bth. The other two effected their escape, and Brook, we hear, is doing well. On Thursday and Friday last, James Wigglesworth, 1;4., Coroner, of Halifax, held an in quest on the body, at Mr. Pearson s, the Star Inn, in Rastrick, and after a very mature and deliberate investigation, an unani mous verdict of Gitilly if Wilful Murder was returned against Anthony Bray, and of aiding and libelling against John Bray, Christopher Tiffaney, James Titlhney, James Ellis, Henry Nuttal, John Dyson, and John Dawson, all of Sheepridge or Deigliton, near Iludderafield, and in pursuance of which An. thony Bray, the two Tiffaneys, Ellis, Nuttal, and Dyson, have been committed to York Castle to take their trials.— John Bray has been since apprehended, and is now in custody at Halifax. There is now only one of the men at large. ROBBERY AND MOST INHUMAN MURDER.—On Satur day last, as Mr. James 31arkey, of Redbarn, near Danleer, a respectable farmer, was returning from the market of Drog heda, on horseback, he was stopped between live and six o'clock, at the mile -stone, not a quarter of a mile from Dun leer, by two armed foot-pads, in grey great coats, who deliber ately fired two shots at him, one of which entered the cavity of the abdomen. lie was soon after found o n the road, nearly in it state of insensibility, and immediate l y conveyedi home to hissat flicted family. Surgeon Ball, of t h e Dunleer Dspensary, having visited him about six o'clock, found him in such a state as pre cluded any hopes of his recovery, and at three o'clock the next day he stied. It would appear that robbety was not the sole object of those villains , as Mr. Markey was not deprived of his watch and some money he had in his possession ; and as he was a man universally esteemed, and of the moat inoffensive 1 manners, it is difficult to account for the commission of so diabolical an outrage,. except the robbers were alamed before they could effect their purpose of plunder. A small bundle which Mr. Markey carried in hls hand, was all that he lost.— s(wt thereiaeili O gk r o g i bt i ll i .l e j ia c rw t g o l l l ( : :) , er e : al ele o lv i :eal s tea m-loom io l gale.l t . nig ht on ,lAt. factory tli between eh moaif - past s iolo r neu d l i o y d:wl a woaa t :s i nk : :: ul ov S nt wehc t :one; down t n h g e , h u u n r , r i ic v s . ze s , ti a p i po ui r f t a e l t l i in b g y caonatt.hmeetraooi pt, iu of a ' rs t , he fectory, the s b t y ro . beams of wood. The stalk was 90 feet high, and 8 feet diameter at the bottom : it had been finished 2 months ago. Part of the side wall was also thrown down ; and thedemoliahed part of die building presents a mass of broken bricks and mortar, and torn wood and lead. The roof was of the firmest construction, and from the great quantity of ground which it covers, owing to the factory being only one story high, It is said to hare coat 1,5001. Several of the new stalks about the town have been much shaken by the wind, and rocked a few inches to one side.— Yesterday, scaffoldings were erected, and the stalks strong. ly bound with ropes to enable them to withstand the wind.—About three o'clock on Sunday morning, a large brick erection at Kelvinhaugh-printfield, belonging to Mr. J. 11141regor, was blown down with a tremendous crash. The building was 151 feet in length, and 34 feet broad, and about 110 feet of the outside wall is completely demolished; and ma ny of the joists in the interior are broken. About fifty feet of the north part of . the building, that was subdivided from the rest, and contained the engine-house, still stands; the wind having come in a western direction, and left that part entire. In some instances doors were found burst open the morning by the . force of the wind, that had been locked the preceeding night. The storm has not been so severe for many years. Many thatched houses have been partly unroofed, and hay-stalks dispersed by the force of the wind. Some slender brick walls have been blown down; and several masons' sheds, on exposed situations, have been shivered to pieces. Sonic glass cupolas have been blown in. It is said that a new building, intended for a public work, has been thrown down by the violence of the storm at Duntochar.— Many of the chimney cans and loose bricks and tiles were blown down ; and it was dangerous to venture out. The wind was so strong that a person could with difficulty keep himself perpendicular, and several intoxicated persons were found lying on the streets who had been blown over. Early in the evening many of the shopkeepers put the shutters on their windows to NM the glass. The-Clyd# was very much swollen.--(Glasgow Chronicle.) INUNDATIONS. rAIMENSE DEVASTATION IW RECENT INUNDA TIONS ON THE CONTINENT. Extract of a letter from:Carlsruhe to the Rev. Dr. ST EIWICIPIF. dated November 6, 1824. " A large proportion of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Baden have been recently plunged into the deepest distress by an almost unprecedented inundation. All the rivers and nor streams of the Black Forest suddenly over flowed their banks, and the extensive Valley of the Rhine exhibited the appearance of an immense Lake. Persons of comparative affluence are literally reduced to beggary ; thousands are at this moment wandering about without shelter and without food, their houses, together with every thing they contained, having been swept away ; and as their stores of provisions are destroyed, the prospect for the winter is truly appalling, and we must apprehend a season of famine and disease. Every where the most heart-rending complaints are heard, hut so extensive is the calamity, that although many come forward with a liberal hand, is is utterly out of our power to supply every want. Fully con vinced of your active benevolence, I venture to make an appeal to you in behalf of my unfortu nate countrymen, hoping, that amongst your wealthy friends in Loudon, something may be done towards alleviating their distress. The smallest donation sent fur this purpose shall be acknowledged in the Carlsruhe Gaulle, and the due appropriation of it shall be carefully an 'jounced I trust the Almighty will incline the hearts of bent aolent individuals in England to assist us ; but no one can conceive the height of misery around us, without ocular demonstration. The damage is at present estimated at more than. six millions of florins.* Baden-Baden, a favourite residence of many English families, has suffered greatly. Many of the inhabitants of the town and its environs are reduced to the most abject want, and for indeed have escaped without heavy loss. Should the present appeal succeed in awaken - iug British generosity, I propose to devote such contributions as may be transmitted to me, to the more immediate relief of the inhabitants of the vallies around Badiu.—l remain, Sir, t'our's, !cc.

The John Emeltlin, -, from Gibraltar to Belfast, in attempting to get into Whitehaven on Wednesday, str►tck be tween the piers and sunk. The Active, -, from Newry, was driven on shore on Thursday at Liverpool, and tilled with water. Reports had been circulated that the Talbot and Rapid steam.boats, engaged in the passage from London to Ostend, were lost in the late gales, but we are happy to hear they were without foundation; the latter vessel was driven past Ostend a short time since and got safe into Antwerp.—Nire are con cerned to hear that an oversew-pilot, named William Clark, belonging to Dover, was lost with an American ship on the coast of Holland, b oundi to Amsterdam. Only one man be longing to the ship was saved, the rest, 13 in number, met a watery grave. Clark has left a wife and young family unpru. vided for.—His Majesty's ship Ramillies, lying in the Downs, sprung a leak in the night of the 10th instant, when it was accidentally discovered she had nearly six feet water in her hold ; in consequence of' which she will proceed as soon as the weather will permit for Sheerness, where she will be docked.— The leak is supposed to have been occasioned by a bolt being loosened under the step of the foremast. One of the amain named Pearce, belonging to this ship, unfortunately fell fruits the topmast yard, upon the forecastle, and died in about ten minutes after the accident .—( Keistish Gazelle.) About twelve months since a promise was made to the children of the Sabbath School at Gretna, that such of them us would ettenl for one year without being a day absent, excppt iu case of indisposition, should each bp rewarded with a Bible ; and what is very surprising, ilia whole of the scholars (about 130 in number) at the expiration of the year were found entitled ti the reward. No fewer than four persons died very suddenly in Paisley in the course of last week. One was found dead in his bed, another in his arm chair at the fire-side, a third dit.d nfter less than an hour's illness, and the fourth, it is supposed, was killed by a fall, as u considerable quantity of blood Wtx discovered at the place where he was found. Dewhirst, who was committed to Horsemonger-lane prison from littion-hall, elk Thursday last, on suspicion of having, mardered his child, will be brought up for re-examination next week, when some additional evidence wilt be offered. The prisoner partook of tea after he had been conveyed to gaol, and he was then (cu ducted by Mutes, one of the turnkeys, to n room culled the strong room, where he was confined during the night, guarded by two men, to prevent him from committing any act of violence upott himself. He was previously searched, but nothing more than a large mass of papers relating to his affairs was found upon him ; these were returned to him. During the night, he scarcely ever. closed his eyes g ng whoa he was a s eb l nxn e tec t; kr p ycw , iesas b etr u edi na c n ty o :le n nf t oil i o) n rrrwi u isi t aoi t ds, with eu n yard, nod fie kdttrt, etitoot I t , ; f )g: he declined eating.
