'Tait morning about three o'clock a dreadful 1 , fire broke out in Frith.srreet, Soho, near Compton street. After the alarm was given, a considerable time unfortunately elapsed before water could be procured, in consequence of which the flames soon attained a height that threatened destruftion to the whole neighbourhood. The fire burnt into Compton. street on one side, and into Dean.street behind.— In Frith street, every house from Queen-street to ► Compton.street is completely destroyed, with the exception only of Wits t Ws the Confectioner, the corner of Frith-street and • Compton-street, which escaped almost miraculously, for the two adjoining houses to it in Compton.street are buint to the ground. The rear of several houses on the E;st side of Dean. street are considerably damaged. The fire com. menced, we understand, in the back.shop.of Messrs. JACKSON and MOAK. Water having been at length procured, the Baron were nearly got under between eight and nine. The ruins continued burning at eleven o'clock this morning. About ten o'clock the fronts of three houses in Compton.street fell into the street with a dreadful crash. No one was hurt. ln the early part of the morning, a fireman had both his thighs broke by the fall of one of the houses in Frith. street, and another is said to have been killed. Several : oldie Royal Westminster, the Prince of Wales's, the Loyal Britons, and other Corps, at. tended very soon after the alarm was given, to pro. H.teft the property of the unfortunate sufferers. The ternituee that could pe saved was' pilad up in the ~, lower part of Frith-street, and. a Military Guald . mounted over it. The loa's sustained is, we fear, ~very great, as the fire has been one of the most ex. teneave in its effelts that has been witneased in the Metropolis for a considerable period.' • - vast crowd hid colleCted thii'morning to view the' dire effeas of the calamity,' but the Volunteers very propelly barred 'all access into Compton.street, or r rith.street, except to those who had.real husi. rotorin either. The engines of all the Fire.olfices' in London i were actively employed at eleven in ex. 'tinguiShing the flames, which Were still bursting from the ruins. . • We have nut heard that any other accident hap. pened, except those we have mentioned, neither cart we at present ciallea the naives oftie sufferers, the alarm and confusion incident' - to so 'recent it• ea..

Wz have read with great attention and with the highest satistadion the Plain Answer to one of the most infamous Publications which ever issued from the Press. This Answer, though in plain, is at the same time couched in very forcible language. It, toddies,' in a most interesting manner, upon 'points upon width much misrepresentation has gone forth, and it vindicates very successfully she Cha. rafters of those whose Cause it espouses, from at. tacks of the blackest malignity. Whoever may be the Author, we think the Public is highly indebted to hint for exposing the baseness of the "Cursory 'Remarks." His. work in every respect forms a contrast to that to which he replies. In the Cursory Remarks we observed a forced, pedantic, and af. fated style', conveying base insinuation, and un. derraining. illustrious Charaders. in the " Plain Answer," the style is simple and unaffeded—no attempt is made to depreciate unfairly the Character of any person, and the Fads it contains are related with a-degree of Candour which stamps them with. authenticity. The Letter; If Fits 4. Albion, likewise in. Answer to the Cursory Remarks, and which have appeared in the Columns of this Paper, are re.published this day, very much altered and improved, with the ria. dition 'of many - valuable and interesting Notes. These twn Pamphlets form together a very full and . most satisfactory Reply to every point touched upon by the Neas , Obser•urr, and , fully expose the many falsehoods which he has adduced.

SCARLET, £4. • Title .vas an- anion to • recover the tum of 181. 75. td; being the amount-of the ,Plaintire The Plainti ff is a dealer in corn, hay, and other articles, and the Defendant, James Scarlet, Esq. is a Gentleman of,eniinence ot the Bar. The Plain, tiff's demand was for corn, hay, andother articles, furnished the Dafeadant's Coachman. - It • appeared .in evidence that the Plaintiff bad never seen the Defendant—had never had any corn. munication with him, but had dealt with the De. fentiant'e Coachman from September.' 8o i to. Sep. tember 18oe. During that time the Plaintiff had settled several Bills ,with the Defendant's Coach. man. The Coachman having miactindaled self, was: aboat to be discharged; the Defend. ant's Clerk found out by accident that ' the Coachman had been dealing with the_PlaintifF for these articles, in consequence of which, and as his master was about to discharge the coachman, the clerk called on the Plaintiff for the purpose of learn. Png if the coachman owed him any thing : the laintiff said the coachman owed him a bill. The clerk told the Plaintiff' that this coachman had mis. conduaed himself and was about to be discharged, bat that if the Plaintiff would make out the bill, the clerk would carry that bill to his master, and if any: thietgawas due of wages to the coachman, he woufrO.ettheitynur to procure the money foe, the .1 Pia ntif£ to, blikly this bill, by stepping the wages_ of the. estailinian. The. Plaintiff's bill '• Wes" ace rda ingly made out, to the amount of 164,175. rd. and taken to the Defendant. When the accounts be. tween the coachman and his master were examined, it appeared there was no more wages due to the coachman than 91. so that this could not satisfy the Plaintiff's Bill. Mr. Scarlet, the Defendant, then 'desired that the coachman and Rugby, the Plaintiff, might be brought together in his presence. They were so, and the conversation which took place be. tween the .Defendant and the Plaintiff' was to this effed. Mr. ',Scarlet asked Rushy, the Plaintiff, these questions, and received the following answers. Who are you, .Sir ?---A. My name is Rushy. Q. •111 you know any Ming of me I—A, I do not. Q. Did you ever see me before ?—A. To my knowledge I never did, Q. Did I ever give you any order to furnish any corn, hay, or straw, for my purses I—A. You did not. Q. Did I ever give any authority to any of my Servants to come to you to get credit fur these ar. ticies from. you ? a —A. You did not. Q.- Ilraw could you be such a fool as to trust this man without coining to me to know whether. I had given him authority to deal on credit l— alavays paid me.before. • Then inquiry was mode, whether this Coachman defrau.ted any. of Mr. Scarlet's own Trades met', for the Clerk said he thought. his Master was bound to pay them, and it was found he had omitted to pay for a Coach which Mrs. Scarlet had w hil e her own was in use by Mr. Scarlet, on the Circuit, although the Coachman had been fur nished with moat). for the purpote-- - The Plaintiff insisted that Mr. Scarlet should pay him this Bill, which he refused, and insisted that he was not liable to pay it; upon which this Aaiun was brought. Mr. ERSKINE made a very able speedh for the Defendant, and observed that the etnat of finding a Verdkl fur the Plaintiff under such circumstances would he. dreadful ; for no man who kept servants ' could be sure that he might- not be undone in an hour. He had had a rogue of a servant, who was with him three years before he deteaed him—he was his coachman, and hed bought several silver laced hats of a tradesman, „wi iaout his authority, and be resisted the payment of the bill, not for the valet of the thing, but fur the sake of resisting the precedent, which was precisely the -motive at. the honourable and learned Gentleman who was the De. fendantan this cause. . It then appeared taere was. ti batik of accounts kept between Mr. Scarlet and tbis..servant, in which Mr. Scarlet did not pay each. particular sum for every item, but advanced. the.coachman money from time to time, and the coachman was generally in his master's debt. • Thiawas the substance of the case upon thefaas, . Lord ELiErnioltoucit observed upon the .Law to this effeo, that it was not enough that Ireceuse this man wad a servant that he should go and buy goods on creelit, and so hind his master td pay, but that in order constitute a servant his master's agent, so as to coOtreet debts for his master, there must either be an antecedent authority given him forthat put.- , pose, or there must be a subsequent recognition of that authority by the master, which amounted to the - tattle thing as giving him that authority in the first instance-a - 4m his Lordship said 'hot .where a master gives hie 'servant money to go to market, he could mat, in slut case, be supposed to be .giving him authority to take goods on credit, because in that case credit was unnecessary ; and, therefore, his Lordship thought that the question would turn very much upon this—Whether the Jury, upon looking at the book, were satisfied that the Dc. ;indent had always furnished his servant with mo. ney; for if they were satisfaal of that, as there was. no communication between the PlAintiff and the Defendant, be thought the Defendant was entitled to a verdia, because, in that case, no ground of implied credit could be suppase* to arise ; but if, on looking at the book, they thought the , Coach. man was not always in cash, then the master omit be, considered as taking it for granted that the Coachman must have credit, and, in that case, the master trust be forced to pay, for then the teas. ter had given an ; implied ,credit to the id of the servant. rL it ej o U t hi !yf s il ou b nl a verdia for the Plaintiff fur the amount 13,1,L8Y, V. . way an action for midicioli%ly, holding, the Plaintiff' to b a i4,.. a n4 artei.iing him without any. reiisonahle or prob Ode ca use.
