A dreadful Fire bloke ou! between two and three o'clock this !fuming at ASTI,Ey's Amphitheatre, • near Wr.omiti , ,tet i3t-Wge. It %vas not discovered . till it had gained an alarming height that it Was impossible to save any part of tl:e building, hich was burnt to the ground in a very short • thne.• What added to the misfortune, no water Was to he procured for •a considerable period ; the fl toes in the mean time extended to several adjoin. ing•h uses, • ten or eleven of which wete also burnt, and several others much damaged. - The cause of the Fire is at present nnascertain. ed-,; ; but we lament to learn that Mrs. WOOD ;the mother of Mrs. Ast LEY, who slept in theinulding, was burnt to death. It was repotted that the Horses were likewise burnt, but we have since learnt that they were all sat ed. The flames were so extremely rapid, however, that very little lie'•dr• tobld be pr , served Iran their fury. The flames were got under by eight or nine o'clock, but the Engines continued to play briskly at twelve, at which hour an immense crowd of people from all parts of the Town were colleted on the spot. it is a few days more than nine years since the krvhitheatre was burnt to the ground before. •, From there being so much wood about the building, it was completely enveloped in flames in ten minutes atter the Fire was first discovered, so as to preclude all possibility of saving any part of it. The Fire, it is believed, had nearly reached the top of the . Building before it was at all diicovered. A few of the Scenes were saved . , but nothing else of the smallest value. A party of Guards attended to preserve Order: TYRWHITT JONES, the. late Member for Doobigh, is just returned for an Itish Borough, Athbil,e, we believe, and he Will. take his seat as soon as Parliament assembles. of the resolution to begin with it at Drury-Lane.

On Monday evening, a potter was sent from Mr. 13uker's, a gunsmith in Holborn, to a gentle. man's house in Portland-place, with a valuable fowl: ing piece, which he delivered to a female servant, when soon after a man called at the house, told the servant'a wrong gun had been delivered, and request. cat to have it back again, and that he would bring the other in a short time. The servant accordingly monied the gun, and the man went away, but did not return with any other. The next morning, in. 1.4 the transattlion was given at Bow.street to t~lie Sitting Magistrate, who diretted proper means to be taken for discovering the offender, and the gun was found in pledge at a pawnbroker's - in the neigh. b‘airhood of the Haymarket ; and on Wednesday, the woman who pledged it, her husband, and two other women, supposed to be implicated in the bu. siness, were taken into custody, and the same even. ing examined before Mr. GRAHAM, at Bow-street, 'when • Mr. Parker's gun was produced by the Pawnbroker, who identified the woman that pawn. ed it, and who, in her defence, said she received t 0 ; a man fur that purose t another valuable gun Was pr o d uce d b y the Officers, who stated, that they found it in the apartments of one of the pri -B°"t'rst and which was claimed by Mr. Manton, a gun " tn ith in Dover.sareet who was defrauded of two guns in a similar *ay it app eared in ' July last, one of which woma n before had been pletiged by the husband of the , ed.

Parsons told his Lordship, that being arrested when he came home, and carried to a spunging.hnuse, the prisoner Green came to him with a paper, and told him, if he would put his mark to it he wduldnget him out of his present disagreeable situationJ , andi as he could not tead or write, he put histmirk 'to the ,paper, being totally ignorant that it was a Bilt of Sale to deprive him of his wages. He said, that he never saw Green after, till he met both the Pri soners at the India House, insisting upon the pay. ment of his wages from this Bill of bale, which was witnessed by both Gr een and Fondsaken, although he never saw Fondsaken before. In their defence, Green said he had the Bill of Sale from the other Prisoner, and did not know what it was. Fondsaken confessed sending this Bill of Sale to be signed, which he pretended was _to get the Sailor out of trouble, end prevent others from taking advantage of him. The Lotto MAYOR reprobated the condua of these two men, and observed, that if they. had oh. rained the money, Fondsaken might have forfeited his life : they were then discharged. Fondsaken was then charged with having been sent out of this Country for not complying with the Alien AO. — This he did not deny, and not having any passport to return hither, after being searched, and his pa. pars t..ken from him, be was committed for further examination.

Opposite the Southern Front of the Government House was an illuminated Facade forty feet high, extending three hundred and tifty feet. on, each side of a Temple dedicated to ISe ace: in the lower part of which was a transparent Painting i feet square, ti Britannia destrtan the ImPlensents of Prat-, eie;uittg the Olive Branch ;from Peace .

Opposite to each Wing of the GovernMent }louse wete three lofty and illuminated Arches, (the Arch in the centre rising sixty feet) crowned with appro. priate Ornaments. Two Transparencies were eteeled opposite to the East and West fronts of the Government House. 'rite Transparency on the East side represented a Battle ; " LAKE," in a wreath of Laurel on the top ; on one side, the ArMs of General LAKE ; on the other, his crest ; and under the whole; the word Lincelles," and trophies in honour of the Me. morable success of the British Troops at Lincelles, under the command of General LAKE. The other transparency represented a re4a of Seringapatam," Portraits of " Generals Harris and Baird," on each side, and on the top appro. priate . einblems. Opposite the Northern Front of the Government House was a Trdnsparency 40 feet high, " Beira's. nits Supporting the World, to which she has restored Peace." Abaresque scrolls of tight connected the whole, in one continued Illumination, comprehending an extent of near three miles. . In the centre of the Esplanade, an liindos. tanee Illumination of variegated colours, represent. ing a Temple of Fire, appeared about ten o'clock, and afforded a pleasing contrast to the paler lights of the surrounding Illumination.

You have heard that his behaviour was firm and oolleded during the first part of his ttialt—ne attended ininutelv to the evidence, and took .notes, and 6%l,lst:titled tlicto to his Counsel Messrs. Topping and I-b when Mr. Quick, who was clerk in the house at Tiverton, elllh was a partner, swot:. to his hand wtiting to the Sol. bill, drawn upon Mr. Crump of Liverpool, he then seemed deeply agitated, took no more notes, and seemed prepared for the verthet that was given against him. The Court was amazingly thronged, but he 41.1 not once look round upun the persons present. His eyes were fixed _upon the witnesses and the judge anti jury, soon as the virdin was given, he bowed to Oft Jude,g arid retired w IthAt sa! , ing a word. -A post-chaise conveyed him from the hall to the psi. son ; he was COCA and colleCted during the time he Was in the chaise; and at soon as he got back to his room, he fell upon his knees, and praytd. in a fervent and serious manner fpr about half an hour ; after which, he desired iotne refreshment. His . . . , behaviour, when sentence of death was passed upon him next morning,' was equally cool and deliberate. lie knelt, looked fixedly at the judge; bowed, but said not a word, I had an opportunity of seeing him soon after his return to prison op the morning of his condemna. lion. He was writing; when 1 entered his room, but seemed pettedly resigned to his fate. I con versed with him a good deal, and he told me that-he had been fairly tried and conviQed by the laws of his country ; that indeed the world was now, and had long been a misery to him—that he had been unhappy in his mind fur nearly twenty years. The original cause of that unhappiness I . could not learn, nor, as he did not think proper to disclose it, did I press him upon the subjed: He Said, he had for some time past been employed in making his peace with the Almighty, whose pardon, he humbly hoped, he should obtain, and who, he . fervently prayed; would give him fortitude to bear the last great event that should close the world upon him tot ever. I left him in a few minutes after he had ex pressed this hope; and as I quitted the room I ob. served hint dkop on his knees in prayer, He does not seem to entertain the slightest hope of being pardoned. He expeds to he conveyed on Saturday near, according to hia sentence, to the Sands near the river Radon, the usual place of cxc. cution, He passes much of his time in reading and writ ing. A great part of every day has been employed in writing letters to his acquaintance; the number • of these letters is very great. The rest of his time be passes in prayer, and in reading the None of his relations hive visited him since his tondemnation. He keeps ,entirely to his own room, and will see no one but those belonging to the gaol, and two Clergymen of the Church of England, Mr. Pattison, of Carlisle, and Mr. Marke, of Burgh on Sands. They have been much with hiM, and he txpresses himself under great obligations to them for their humane assistance, as well as to the keeper of the gaol, and his assistants', for their kindness and attention to him. • Neither before his trial nor since his condcmna. Lion has he ever alluded to his ' eunneaiun with Mary of Buttermere, nor even mentioned her name. He rests well, and his appetite is good,—he goes to bed about nine At night, and rises about eight in the morning, This Morning he desired all his hair to be cut off; it was flaxen, and reMarkably long and thick. He says, he intends sending it to some of his friends. I know not whether he means to address the speEta. tors on Saturday or not. I rather rhit,k he t 1 es not. Perhaps he will leave some address in the hands of the Sheriff. These few partictilars of a Irian who has occupied so mulch of the public attention, would not, I con. ce i ve d, be uninteresting to your readers. We can. not help deploring the fate of a man whose talents might have been an ornament instead of a disgrace to society but let not our pity blind us to this truth—that talents impose upon the possessors of them a deeper moral responsibility. A new regulation has taken place among the tetter-tarriers belonging to the Post-Office, which ren d e rs more secure, the conveyance of money-let• ter, to different parts of the kingdom ; and pre. vents the possibility of fraud being praftised. Each man now carries a box, which is locked up, anti the trey deposited at the rost,Oilice. ; the top of the same is constrUded to slip the letters through, as they are received ; and they must remain within until delivered into the hands of the sorters, who unlock the box, and forward the contents to the places of destination. This salutary plan will ten_ der comnlunicsstions certain, and prevent letters from being secreted by the carriers. At a Meeting of. the Yorkshire East Riding Agri. cultural Society, on Wednesday se'rittight, it was recommended to all farmers and others to discontinue the breed of the large long-eared, long-snouted sort o f pigs, as t h e y have always been found unprofitable ; they are commonly called the Yorkshire breed.
