FHA AT BMITHILL'S HALL, NEAR BOLTON.-
Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, about three o'clock, some
workpeople engegeo on the grounds at Smetbell'enhall (dm
mat of Peter Ainsworth, Esq.) were alarmed by the smell
of burning timber, and, on going to the chapel ad-
joining the hall, a fire was discovered to be
raging within. Au alarm we instantly raised, sad
messengers &spanked to the works of Hr. J. H. Ainsworth,
and alarm number of workpeopk together with the aegl&O
belonging to the works, was shortly at the place, and ma-
dared every moisture.. Other maims also arrived, but the
firs had got such mutely, and the whole of the interim
of the chapel being timber, the roof fell in, end it amour

has been the destruction of the chapel and vestry,
