course of Friday with a general cargo of merchandise for
London. She was built in 12156, under special survey, was

Finn IN THE MINORINS. —An extensive fire broke
out last night on the premises belonging to Rewire. Wort-
ley and Co., foreign hotelkeepers, No. 7, Minories. In the
course of a few minutes Warren arrived with the Royal
Society's escape, and having pitched the machine in front
of the building, he found the smoke rushiag forth from
every floor. He, however, entered the first-floor front, but
in crawling on his knees and hands in search of the in.
mates, he found the floor so hot that his bands were
blistered, and ho was unable to get to the two upper floors.
It is generally believed by the inhabitants that no one was
in the building at the time of the outbreak, but if there
were, they must have perished, for no person was seen at
any of the windows after the dam war given. The fire-
men by great exertion before midnight succeeded in get-
ting control over the &roes, although the fire was far
from being extinguished, and in all probability this will not
be accomplished until an advanced Lour this morning. The
origin of the fire, or whether or not the sufferers were in-
sured, could not be ascertained during the excitement which
prevailed.
MAN'S ELDEST SON.—On Sattmlay, at Norwich
Castle, James Blonifield Rush—eon of the murderer Rush,
whose terrible deeds attracted inch general interest twelve
years since—was charged with breaking into the home of
Mr. Abraham Cannell, of Cringleford, and stealing a quan
tity of children's dresses and miscellaneous articles al the
mlleetive value of 41. The case against the prisoner was •
very simple one, the property, which was identified by Mr.
Cannell and his wife, having been found in the hones occu-
pied by the prisoner, at Wymondham, while a knife-blade,
which was taken from his pocket when he was appre-
hended, corresponded with impressions observed on come
drawers which had been tampered with, though not broken
open. Another chest had been broken and emptied of its
contests, but in this case no knife marks could be detected.
The prisoner, who by the advice of his professional adviser
"reserved his defence," was committed for trial. The
presiding magistrate, however, admitted him to bail—him.

-BANNING EXTRAORDIN ART. —ln the early part of
the present week, the police and Mr. Moir, who, as oar
reader, are aware, takes a great interest in Glasgow-green,
ware applied to by • Belfast gentleman for leave totert
portion of the turf of Glasgowgrmn, in order that be
might search for 661. which he had " planted" about nine
weeks since. His story was that he was in Glasgow in the
beginning of November last, with the above sum of money
in his posseesion of his own, and being wishful to "go
on the spree " for • night, and knowing the adroitness
of our Glasgow thieves, he thought his money would
be safest in the Glasgow-green bank, and accordingly
proceeded to the vicinity of Nelson's Monument, and
after measuring accurately, as be thought, a certain
distance from • fixed point, he cut a sod, dug • hole a foot
or two deep, and put in his treasure, filling up the place
again, and carefully obliterating all marks of the proceed.
Mg. The tale was rather extraordinary ; but as he seemed
a man of understanding, and bad come to the years of dis-
cretion, being about 45 years of age, after consideration
have was greeted to him to proceed in his search. He was
mmosepanied, as a preasatioasu measure, by a policeman.
He bad lost his reckoning, and hence foe four days did he
lawn, with assktaatm, and • good many yards of ground
did be overturn before lading rt. Yesterday afternoon his
labours Win successful, and the fall 661., in English and
Irish bask notes, ware found wrapped in a Gbiagow news-
y
del dike Nov. 7,180. The money, meantime, is re.
by the polies until a few inquiries are nude into the
affair.—NortA British Neil.
