Wellesley's Division of the army. assembled in Co-
lonel Wallace's tent, on the 26th of February, 1804,

The Vakeels of I)outar Row SCHAD' A. and
the Rajah of CAL A roue, expressed a wish to see
the Company's slap Elpir lutes,. Capt. ?Amulet's
Couto, went on board that ship in May last, ac-
c..mpanied by the Town Major and principal inha-
bitants of Bombay. The Garrison saluted these
noble strangers as they were going on board and on
their retuni. L/pbrastelie, and all the vessels,
both belonging to His 11.1sa6sry and the Company,
were decorated with the colours of various natinns,
and the neutral vessels in the harbour followed their
example. The guns were worked in presence of the
VaLcels, who expressed much astonishment at the
expertness and dexterity evinced by the British sail-
ots. A very elegant enteitaiument was provided
on honrcl, and the company returned at a very late
hour, high gratified with the treatment they had
met with.

FIRES. •

Last night, between the hours of eight and nit
o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the workshop
of Mr. Brodie, a carpenter, in Swallow-streer, -
corner of Vigo-lane and Sackville-street. The
shop being situated at the rear of the house, the fire
was not immediately discovered. The flames con-
tinued to rage with great fury for near an hour be-
fore water could he procured ; and as the workshops
contained a quantity of light timber, great appre-
hensions were entertained for the adjoining pre-
mises ; but, happily, the engines played with such
effea, as to completely subdue the fire in less
than an hour, when it was extinguished with little

more loss than the bunting a part (An the rear of
Mr. Btodie's house, and Mr. French, the baker's,

adjoining. The Phoenix, Royal Exchange, Globe,
and some other engines, arrived a few moments
after the alarm was given. The JAMei'S Vo-
lunteers, under the command of Major Downs,
preserved good order, and prevented much depre-
dation. We are informed that the accident hap-
pened through the neglig,.nce of a boy, who was
left to attend to a glue pot, which boiled over.
Between seven and eig'.t o'clock on Monday even-
ing last, a most alarming fire broke nut in the stable
of Messrs. Travers and Esdaite, in Queen street,
Cheapside. It was fit sr discovered by some of the
clerks, V. 1.) perceived an unusual quantity of smoke
issuing through the flooring of the warehouse, im-
mediately over the stable,, at the hour of retiring
from business for the evening, and while in the aB of
shutting up and securing the doors: upon further
examination thi y found the stable in flames. which
threatened des ration to every part of da se exten-
sive warehouses and sugar houses. The danger now
' became alarming, and incalculable mischief must
have tollowed, but for the almost momentary at-
tendance of the fire-engines, some o! which were
proceeding to assist at a fire whir.:: had broke
out in the ne;glibourhood of Horsley-down, and
there also being an ample supply of v. Ater, in
about four hours the fire was sufficiently got
under, so as to prevent further mischief to these
bin's concerts, containing property to a very
considerable amnant, and which, bat for the
sit gular and ins! toramous assistance given, must
loci ..bly nave been destroyed, together with a
larr ',onion of the adjacent buildings. Most for-
tuna,' I y it was molter night with the firemen of the
'Boyar Exchange A .surance Company, the Sun. the
British, and sonin others, by which means they were
the better enabled to render timely and i!treetual aids
and, in a short time, the greater number of the
engines in London were present. When the flames
had sufficiently subsided, so as to permit the stable-
door to be opened. a new spectacle was discovered.
Four of the mill-hones and a goat were found suffo-
cated, lying on the ground.: the hair of the poor
animals was complerels•burned off, except that part
which was :overed by the harness of ten of them,
and the skin left entire : two of the horses were
lying over each other, and the goat across
both; a great part of the rack, rn Inger, and
some of the hay and straw, were consumed, but one
part escaped without any damage whatever. The
accident is supposed to have originated from a can-
dle having been carelessly left in a lenthorn, As the.
latter was found much burned, and that part of the
stable. where it usually hung, bad been most con-
sumed. It was at first imagined that a great quan-
tity of the sugars in the warehouse had been consi-
derably damaged ; but we understand only a small
portion was injured by the water, end not by fire.
Had the conflagration taken place at is late hour of
the night, the consequences must have been dreadful.
On O= same evening, at an earlier hour, another
fire broke out in a house. in Ghat-court, Queen-
street, Horsley-down, which caused much alarm
in that neighbourhood. The wife ofi one Redner.
corn porter, who resided in the house, went from
home. a few minutes before the accidaat happened,
to purchase something on the opposite side of the
street, leaving a little girl about four Yeats old be-
hind her. In a short time the flames increased to a
dreadful d, grec, and there being no engitiei within
some distance, they threatened speedy destruaion ;
hut, by the very great exertions of the people of the
neighbourhood, who carried a quantity of water.in
buckets, to throw on it, its progress Was stopped in
e great measure, and confined to the ground-floor.
where it first broke out ; and, with the assistance of
the fire engines. which shortly after arrived, it was
soon comphaely extinguished, without having done
any material injury to the premises; but, shocking
to relate. when the firemen bunt into the apartment,
they discovered the little girl, burned to death,
stretched upon tie- Iran, from whence it was Coe-
eluded, her el, a:lis had caught ire, and communi-
cated to the room.

Last night, t'.e holiday folks were gratified by the
performance of their favourite drama, The Castle
Speller Of course the pit and galleries were crowd-
ed at an early hour, and the usual noise and cor.
fasion of St. Stephen's alight prevailed amongst the
Ode.
The part of Reginald in the play was to have
4seen perfermed by Mr. Les, who was to have sus-
tained tebsrloels Delany, in the farce of The leAnsan
in London; but an accident occurred, which put it to-
tally out of the power of that sitar to perform ; the
part of Re4tisald Was in consequence given to M•N•
sat t, and in place of the intended farce, Raising the
Wind was substituted. •
The melancholy occasion of LEE'S not appearing
was such that our readers will riot be offended at
our communication of the particulars of his son's
death, by fire!
On Sunday morning, the child, a fine boy, be-
tween five and six years of age, was left playing in
the drawing-room of Lee's lodgings, in South
Anne-street, by his grand parents, who went nut to
prayers; unfortunately he approached too near the
fire, when the flames caught his cheque bib, which
he endeavoured to extinguish by putting it between
his legs; which caused his pantaloons to take fire,
and they being lined with calico, made no blaze,
but continued to burn : as the child did not see
any blaze, he thought it eras out, till the heat forc-
ed him to scream ; his father, who was in bed in an
adjoining room, heard him, and ran to his assist-
ance, when he found him in tire midst i,lflames ; the
fire having caught the tuckers of his shirt, his father
immediately extinguished the flames, by covering
him with the carpet, and then stripped him ; but
he was much burned at the bottom of his belly and
hack. Medical aid was instantly obtained; but the
fright was so great, that about five o'clock on Mon-
day morning, he was seized with a convulsive fit;
another at ten, and a third at two, which terminated
his existence. What adds to Mr. Lee's affliCtion is,
that he was his only child, his daughter, eleven
years of age, having sliest two month, since. Mrs.
Lee has been only ten months dead.
Orders arrived at Cork, opt eauirday morning,
from the Adjutant-General's Office, for discharging
the heave baggage of the 15th, e:rth, and !eith re-
giments, which we stated some time since to have
remained on board the transports in the river.
The public, we are sure, will read, with the greit-
est satisfaCtion, of the arrival of Madame Dussek,
Miss Tyree, Mr. Phelps, and Signora Guerini, in the
last packet. All the other performers engaged
for the Winter Concerts are expected to be in town
to-morrow ; and on Saturday there will be a grand
rehearsal of the first night's performances. So
sanguine arc the expedations which have been ex-
cited, so numerous are the attraCtions provided, and
so general is the curiosity to witness and enjoy their
eff.ol, that perhaps the city will be more crowded
the ensuing week, than ever it has been remembered.
From all parts of the kingdom, the Nobility and
! Gentry are coming up to he in town for the first
Concert, which is fixed for Wednesdays 9th January,
1305.
To many traders in the retail business, and shop-
keepers, tads will be the most unfavourable Christ-
mas they ever experienced, owing to the great public
inconvenience in the want of small change. The
receipts of goods have been considerably less, and if
many compositions with creditors had not taken
place, the bankruptcies which would have occurred
consequence must have been numerous.
By a letter received from Donegall on Saturday
last, we learn, that the poisoner has yet eluded the
k vigilance of his pursuers. It will astonish the pith-
lie to hear, that erroneous information could be
given to the officers of .Justice merely for the pur-
pose of favouring the escape of the greatest monster
that this or any other country has ever produced.
Mr. Logan, the chiet Peace Officer, returned to
town on I hursday last from Dunegall, without be-
ing able to apprehend the poisoners of the poor blind
men of Simpson's Hospital, th6ugh he made a
most indefatigable search.

The following is a detailed account of the circuir-
stances attending the loss of His Majesty's ship the
S'Ve :
" cue Reese, nsc. t 6.
" It was noticed some days since that the SeLerr,
lying in Grouville Bay, had suffered very much in a
heavy gale of wind ; that she drifted, touched on a
rock, and injured her bottom, broke her rudder and
one fluke of her sheet anchor, which was supposed
not to have been a good one. At the first it was
intended that she should have gone to England to be
repaired. Unfortunately she did not ; and a violent
gale of wind, with a severe frost, set in from the N.B.
which blew direcqly on shore—a shore withoet shell ,
ter, and full of dangerous rocks. Wednesday night.
the 19th instant, at one o'clock, she cut away her
main mast : next morning her mizen. About
o'clock she was seen driving on shore, having parted
all ner anchors. Never was a more anxious scene.
The tide was out, which left a strand of near a miie
from the redoubts. Here were assembled. in fearful
agitation, all the military in barracks at Grow/ill*
eonsis:ing of fifteen hundred men, besides suer.: of .
intuit:eta:es of the island. Among thew was (*ion-
madcre the Duke che Bouillon. He was uldig.
ed to witness the f.tte of his ship. Almost clew
on the sands, she WAS seen drifting on the blocks
and craggy points of a rock. Every exattion was
made by the Commander en board, Lieut. D'Au-
verve (brother to the Prince), to tui a her head ofi.
It was truly distressing to see the unavailing efforts
made to get up something of a sail to the point of die
foremast that was standing. As she came near the
rock, the terror of the speitators increased. Insen-
sible to the most piLecinfmcetd and violence of the
storm, and up to their in water, they stone
almost holding out their hands to the people on
hoard, so near did the ship drift, as if they could
catch at and save them, while she continued tiring
gun after gun, for assistance she could not rocrive.
such WAS the fury of the winds and waves.that ine-
vitable destruelim seemed to await the unfortunate
.rew. By the uncommon exertions of the military,
some boats were got, and dragged along the sands
with great difficulty, and then attempted to he, in de-
spite of the elements, forced to sea. Officers and
men were seen up to their waists in water, striv-
ing in this virtuous contest alto shnitid arrive
with the succours first. but in vain. use linats
were obliged to return from many vain attempts
to reach the ship, which was now fast on the rock.
In this dreadful suspense, two boats from the dto
,aerie (who had rode out the storm, and was Irrflkl4
ward), reached the Seer-n. Ropes .were g.:.t to dill
shore, and by five in the evening, every creature
(above 300) was landed in safety. One man only
remained on board, and would not, it is said, quit
the ship. About eleven &deck at night, she
got off the rock, and the spriest tide can ried her
close in to the shore. Next day (Friday) the wind
continued almost as fierce and cold as before. Par-
ties from the lath and 69:h, to the :menet of
thee hundred men, were employed all day in get-
ting her stores out. Saturday the same.—She is
now quite a wreck, and lies, when the tide is wit,
quite dry. It is not supposed that she ever cin be
gut off. It was very tortmeste that, in all tit's die-
astroits period, no life was lost, nor did any accident
happen to the men ; they are mostly lodged in an
empty barrack at Grouville.—During the ogorm a
cutter was driven on shore, and was near lasing lost.
Considerable fears were cote. :alit .1 for the At. mews
she, however. rode out the storm ; and on Sist!lT
day, the weather being moderate. she get r' and to
St. Hiltar's—The Bay of Grouville, retiliy Bay,
and All the coast opposite to Custance, Bc6. is now
without a ship of war of any deocrintion."
