The new Lutheran church, on the north-east side .of'the Singel, is burnt down, together with some of the adjacent buildings. The church was sibserved to be on fire about half-past one, and a little after two it was all in flames.. The heat was so great, that all efforts to save the nearest hotises were necessarily renounced. It was felt at the distinee of two streets on the Torensluis, and 'opposite the church it was insupportable, notwithstanding the breadth of the Shigel. • •The sight of the lofty cupola in•flames was dread ful but sublime. The copper which covered it, and which flew in large sheets through the air, coloured the flames w ith vary ing tints of blue.and green, hich were speedily m i ng l e d w i t h the brighter flames of the ardent spirit, and the dark yellow smoke of the oil with which the adjacent warehouses were filled. It seems certain (at least this is the general report) that the fire commenced in the church itself, and not in one of the neighbouring warehouses ; but with respect to the Teal cause of the misfortune, .we have little more than conjectures. On account of the .violence of the fire, and the falling sparks, the vessels nearest the Singel, over, which a very strong east wind fortunately drove the thick smoke, had . to remove to another place; it does not appear that any of them have received much damage. The fine Church thus destroyed, and of which little will remain but Ihe wall round it, which is 111 feet thick, was' erected in the year. 1678,.1681, chiefly by voluntary dOnations. The fine' clothe was built on the model of that' of St: Peter's at Rome, and, as well as a' semicircular building adjoining,' covered with plates of copper, which were brought from Swe den ditty free, •by permission of King Charles •XL• On the platform of the adjoining back building there •was a- large cis tern of rain water,, to be used in case of fire. We do,not know . whether it has been of any service on this occasion. FOUR o',ci.pqx.--,Vour of the adjoining dwelling -houses and magazines are burnt, and a fifth is in flames. SEPT. 19.—The fire yesterday seems to have brokers out in the loft where the plumbers had been at work, and so rapidly spread that the church was all in flames in half an hour, and soon communicated to the neighbouring houses and warehouses, some of which being full of spirits of wine, and other inflam mable substances, added to the fury of the conflagration. The greatest praise is due to the firemen for .their extraordinary exertions, and we are happy in not having heard of any acci dent of great .consequence, only that one of the. firemen received some severe bruises on the neck and hands, another on the hands only. The whole inside of the church is destroyed, the walls only remaining. Happily the books and papers were saved, as well as 'some valuable articles from the Consistorial Chamber. Six dwelling houses and nine warehouses are en- , tirely or nearly destroyed; some others are damaged, hut not' to any extent. OLD BAILEY—(Trus DAY.) John Balding was indicted for stealing 4lbs. of opium, value 41. the property of the London Dock Company. It appeared from the evidence of the watchman belonging to theDock,that the prisoner was employed there, and on the 26th July he observed him go to a pile ofopium,take off his hat,and put in it a large piece of opium. Witness called after him, but the prisoner .would not stop; he then pursued him towards the ware house, and tapped him on the shoulder, when he immediately pullet off-his hat and threw the opium between some casks. The prisoner was then given into the custody of an officer, and the property was handed to him by the watchman. The prisoner in his defence denied taken the opium. Mr.• Alderman Ansley, the butler to the Lord Mayor, and several otheriwitnesses, gave him a most excellent cha racter for honesty. \ The Jury, alter a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. The Commox SERGEANTIsaid, the recommendation most assuredly should be attended to. John May, aged 44, was indicted for stealing two trunks, containing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Lizey Donnollan, and Elizabeth Twycross, in 'the parish of St. Climent Danes. The facts of the case were dearly made out against the pri soner, and the Jury intimated to the Learned Judge that they were perfectly satisfied,and immediately pronounced him Guilty, The RECORDER then called him up for judgment and sen tenced him to be publicly whipped, and imprisoned two years i t u the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour. MARRIAGE AGT.—By a regulation adopted at the Guildhall Police Office, the affidavits necessary by the late Marriage Act are prepared so that they can be administered without any person present being aware of their nature except those interested in them.

EDITOR—In your Paper of Saturday, it is stated that— " The Yeomanry Plate of 50 Guineas, given by Col. Keck and the Officers of the Leicestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, was won by Mr. Fowkei's m. Nancy Dawson, beating five others." If I did not conceive that the above paragraph had been int posed upon you to-answer some sinister and unworthy purpose, I should have looked upon it as a mere hoax; but as the mare is stated to have been backed by the proprietor and his friends, to a considerable amount, I cannot but think it is meant to screen some payments at a distance, and that your Paper may be the authority produced to elude the payments. It is true that " NANCY DAWSON" was trained under the eye of a cha racter of some hunting celebrity, and that she had the advan= tape of the haek Jockey of the regiment—but " NANCY" wa s not in time ; and so far from being up, she wasjifth in the firs t heat and third in the last, and upon the whole cut as miserable a figure as when "JULIA" the year before.

The freedom of the Borough was presented with a neat gold box of the value of fifty guineas. There will, it is very probable, be a very spirited election in the County of Fermanagh.-- The belligerents are Lord Contly, son of the Earl of BELMORE, and Sir HENRY BROOKE, who has already stood four contested elections in that county.
