DESTRUCT! re FIRE.

Last right, about half-past nine o'clock. a destructive fire broke
out in Rostmary Ilrareh.lane, Rossonary.lane, Tower IliIL The
fire is supposd to have originated in th't house of a cooper. The
neighbourhood is inhabited by Foreign Joss, who were seen
running about in all directions, In a state of nudity. The inhabit-
ants of the surrotinding shops in itosentary.lane were so overpower-
ed with the visitation, that they refused to open their door to the
fugitive wretches, doubting the truth of their lamentable story.
till they raised their eyes, and saw the whole horizon in a blase,
No *nonce were the poor destitute creatures admitted, than the
said that unwards of thirty houses were enveloped in limes, with
no chance of relief, in consequence of the narrow entrance to the
scene of conflagration. They cried out in a pitiful tone. " Let us
in—we be poor foreigners--toreign Jews—have lost all—nothing
left." They were admitted, and remained agonized spectators of
the devouring element around them. The fire-engines now arrived.
but could only act in a partial manner, in consequence of the
contracted situation of the buildings. We, by great exettion,
succeeded in getting towards the fire, and had a full view of itS
progress, being on the spot five minutes after it commencial, and
had the melancholy satisfaction, at the extreme risk of our lives,
of beholding its destritetive progress from the windows of the first
house to those of the secimd. At first the glass began to crack,
then the flame got in, and all seemed quiet for about five minutest,
when the explosion of the next window announced that the interior
was in flames.
Then came the yell of distress for the fate of the next house ;
" Insured, insured !" fora moment relieved the dolorous ej4cula-
tion, till the fire seized • house not under the protection of the om-
nipotent Insurance Company. It is a singular fact, that for those
houses which were insured every person scented perfectly easy with
the exception of the firemen, who rxe-ted oil their ought to ex.
tinguish it. The rain fell very heavy during the evening, and was
then falling in torrents ; but it was remarked, that lire always
burns better when it rains. Here it was ton true. The spectators,
were precluded from rendering assistance to the extinguishing
of the devouring element, in consequence of the limited room.
The water pipes were seen silently melting down the fronts of the
houses, while the flames burst out from the whithrAx.
We understand that not less than twenty fires have taken place
in this immediate vicinity during the last year, and several within ,
a few yards of this very spot.
At ten o'clock several engines arrived. but their exertions were
necessarily bounded by the narmwnem of the space.
We hare not heard that any lives were last, but the fire has
done great daniage.

opoArrA4.cha i OR. TOOTH-ACME.

The tooth-ache in general arises from one diseased tooth, although
the pain seems to come from all. In had rues. the causes are eillier
cold or violence, acting upon the nerve of a carious tooth ; yet a pain
similar to this frequently arises from a foeuniatie affection if the
jaw itself; and in pregnancy it is a sympathetic election. When a
small spot appears upon the tooth, u it were eating it away,
the person an affected should most particularly attend to the use
of the tooth-brush. in order to remove as frequently as pos-
sible the carious pardons of it. When Oils spot extends, and
penetrates into the substance of the tooth, the air seed various acrid
bodies pet into it, and irritate the nerve ; aml when this takes
place, it is tontd to introduce a bit of iint dipped in either oil of
cloves, nutmeg, or eajeput, or diluted sulphuric acid ; hut these
mmtdies in same mon do no good, and generally only militate.
Mr. l'hompson Goys, that " a pall of cautpher and opium, or a
solution of camnlitir in oil of turpentine, put into the hollow of a
carious tooth, affords almost immediate relief In toorittacbc." We
must confess dim we see no remedy so good as the extraction of the
tooth. prevent a return of the disease, the hole should be
widened by a dentist, and stopped up with leaf gold, or leaf lead,
and thus the tooth nay he preserved •a long • without aching,
but strict attention must be paid to the daily use of the tooth-
brush.

When the distase is rheumatic, the jaws must be rubbed with
equal pens of spirits of camphor and liquor of ammonia, and •
blister put behind the ears, on the sante night giving ten grains of
Dover's powder, at bed-time. When the tendarneen of the gums
will prevent the patient hunt chewing his food, one of the kilowing
pills may be held in the mouth :wail

Of powdered pellitory of ripaiu one drachm.—Mucilage of gum
'rabic sufficient to make them into twelve pills.
The hest dentifrice for those with carious teeth is decidedly
charcoal ; and the spy to prepare it is, to burn a limp of charc•usl
in the fire, blow of tits external powder, and pound t•lc remainder
finely in *Pastan 'This will etspersatte, in wt,olesome efficacy, all

BOW-STREET.

James Robert Laren:nth, alias Lraronooth, a half-starved look-I
in Frenchman. was frought up by Endive-it the officer, charged
vtth stealing a snuff:hoz of tortoise-shell, lined and orratnented
with Bald, the property of the Earl of Lauderdale.
The prisoner has been a very long time nut of employment, said'
has contrived to pick up a acanty.subsistance by attending upon.
and running errands for couriers, valets, and others of his
countrymen, who have the honour of filling those situations in so
many of our English families of rank. A French courier, in the
service of the Noble Eael mentioned above, received instructions
hum his muter to pr. eeed (we believe) to :tieing with despatches,
and .with the despatches the onatflbox in question sous given to
him, we presume to be presented to sonic person abroad. The bag
' in which these sere deposited was taken by the courier to his own
lodging, and when about to start upon his journey, sent the
prisoner from the Lesion Tree public-hollow, in the Haymarket.
to fetch the bag. By the way the prisoner contrived to abstract
the snuff-box, and two pair or razor*. When these were missed,
information was given to ktuthven, who apprehended the prisoner.
and he confessed that be had pledged, and afterwards sold the bus,
at Messrs. Maywood and 'Lawrence's, pawnbrokers; in Drury-
lane.

The courier was of course compelled to proceed abroad ; but
Lord Lauderdale's footman was in atteadanee, and swore that the
box was the property of his Lordship.
The priaoner, during the examination, was observed several
times to turn his head aside, and weep With consiticraUe bitter-
ness. in his defence, he said that he was sent for the bag, which
contained efiithey guineas, as well :14 the it and razors; that
he poi it into his pocket, and delivered it, as he thought, in the
sane state in which he received it, to his hiend the courier, bat
that he afterwards found those articles in his packet, and they must
have slipped from the bag. Ilia poverty induced him to dispose of
the box. He asked if it was likely that lie should not have taken
the whole contents of the bag rather titan the box merely, if he had
originally intended to stall ?
LIALLS said that such a defence could be no answer to the
charge, and remanded tke prisoner for innher exaruiostion.

OTAIIEITE.

A letter, dated Otabeite the 13th of May last, contains.
the following statement:—
" The Isle of Otaheite is now so different from what it
was in the time of Captain Cook, in 1767, that it is impos-
sible for me to give you a complete idea in so short a letter,
written in all haste. The Missionaries have totally changed
the direction of the morals and customs of the inhabitants.
Idolatry exists no longer; Christianity is generally adopted.
The women now behave with extraordinary reserve ; they
no longer go on board the ships ; and even on land it is
impossible to form with them the least connexion, the
least attachment. Marriages are contracted as in Europe;
even the King, at present, can have but one wife. The
lractice of destroying children, and human sacrifices, no
onger take place ; almost all the inhabitants can write
sad read ; they all have religious books written in their
Linguage, and printed in the island.
'• Sixty-six magnificent churches have been built, and
twice a week the people go in great devotion to hear the'
preacher. Individuals are often seen taking notes with
pencil and paper, of the most interesting passages of the,
sermon.

" The Missionaries yearly convoke at Paparo the whole
of the population, which amounts to 7,000 souls. This
assembly is at present holden. There is now a discussion
going on respecting a new code of laws, and the principal
Chiefs of the nation ascend the tribune, and speak for
whole hours, with a vehemence truly extraordinary.
" About two months ago the isle of Otaheite declared
itself independent of England; it only recognised her Mis-
sionaries. A red flag, with a white star in the upper cor-
ner, is now mounted on the point which Bougainville named
Point Venus."

TRINITY COI LEGE.—We are authorised to state there

A DROVER AFTER MR. MARTIN'S OWN HEART.—The
master drover who holds the badge No. 20-2, appeared with his
as.Ntant, a knowing.looking young fellow, before Mr. Alderman
MAONAY yesterday, to answer the etintplaint of John Harks, one
of the constables of St. Sepulchre's, for an offence under Mr. Mar-
tin's Act.
The complainant stated, that on Friday last he saw the assistant
driving a nundrer of sheep through Coek-lane, end be observed two
dogs :tinning and yelping to and fro upon their backs. Presently
they singled out ore of the Reck, who immediately dashed forward
with the dogs hanging aboot hint ; and eventually, after severely
lacerating the poor animal's head, they pinned him down in the
kennel. The drover's man then ran up, And compelledthe sheep
te rise by giving it a violent kick: it went a few yards and again
HI, end the fellow was about to repeat liis violence, when he
lltanks) called out to him, and took his number. Two gentlemen
from Norfolk who had witnessed the defendant's conduct, said they
would appear against him, and had given their addresses, but they
were not Low present.
Notwithstanding the seriousness of this charge, there was a sort
of look of archness and merriment upon the defendant'scountettance
while it was king detailed, that seemed to betoken a confidence
that his manner of telling the story would bring him safely off out
of the scrape; and when called upon for his defence, he said be knew
Mr. Martin very well, and all about his Act too, which he had

THE I:l7'E 411.410.1“LiariPRIGILT.

Major Cartwright was descended from a very old anti re-
spectable family, which was for several centuries establish-
ed at Marnham, a village in the northern part of Notting-
hamshire, where they possessed considerable properly ;
and the Major himself; fur many years in thecarly part of
his life, had a company, and afterwards was appointed to the
Majority of the Militia of that county. lie was the youngest
brother of the celebrated George Cartwright, the favourite
Aid,-du-Camp to the Marquis of Granby, better known as
I apradortartwright,from his having, on quitting the army,
ritir,al for some time to that cold and inhospitable region.
He was confides], when a young mall, to be the hand-
! vmest and best-dressed officer who attentltsl the levees at
the llorse-guards. This gentleman died four or five years
since, at Matsfield, in Nottinghamshire. The two bro-
ilia' were decidedly opposed to each other in politics.
John, the Major, as is well known, being a staunch Re-
former, and George being as determined a Royalist. During
the stormy period of the French Revolution, they seldom
met, by reason of this difference in political opinion ; but
whenever they cane in contact wish each other, arguments
always ran high, and they usually ended by a wish ex-
pressed on the part of George (a wish, thank God, that a
King of England cannot enforce), " That he might be
king only fur one hour, and then John (he used must ve-
hemently to vociferate with an oath), I would hang you
up."

nislxa MANUFACTURES OF IRELAND.

If the weaver; be successful in their attempt to drive
Mr. Peter I lutchison out tit the trade, there is great reason
to dread that it will give the muslin manufacture to Ire-
land. We are informed, that Hauling his business narrowed
and obstructed in this country, he is directing his attention
to Belfast. lie has had a number of weavers chiefly em-
ployed on heavy fabrics in that town and its vicinite, for
a considerab:e tune. Men of property and influence there
are very pressing for a farther extension of his business
among them ; and there can be no doubt, that were he to
take up his residence in Ireland, lie would be received with
open arms by the first characters in the country. What
is of great importance, the weavers are improving in the
tine fabrics beyond expectation. lie has now above 1,500
warm= in Belfast, and as he is daily employing more, he
is sending ollthree excellent mope's, and wills, who ate to
sail to-day in one of the steam-beats. The lose of such a
quentity of labour must, on the slightest stagnation of
tiade. be severely felt by the weavers in the West of Scot-
land. It is not by any imam so difficult to shift the site
of manufactures as many people suppose. It is little more
than thirty years since the manufacturing of muslin was
begun in this country, and only a few years were necessary
to bring it to perfection. Nothing is easier than for a linen
weaver to become a dexterous hand at muslin. The Irish
are as apt to learn as any mesa in the world. The town of
Belfast presents many attractions to an enterprising muslin
manufacturer. The people are sober, quiet, orderly, in-
telligent, and strangers to the absurd party feuds and ran-
corona broils that disgrace too many parts of the kingdom.
Taxes arc lighter, and provisions are cheaper, than in this
country, as may be seen from the reports of the markets,
regularly published in this Paper. There can be no dif-
ficulty in extending the trade to any desired meenitude, in
I a country where the best labozrers can be hard from 641
to 10d. a day. Houses and loom-shops may be got at easy
rents. Goods can he scut from Belfast to Liverpool in half
the time and expense that they can be transmitted from
Glasgow. Now if Mr. Hutchison, as is alleged, be able to
undersell the other manufacturers here, while he pays as
high a price for the weaving, it must Le 01,VilltlY to all, that
if he transfer his business to Ireland, with sll .he advan-
tages which we have hinted, he will be enabled to supply
the market at a material reduction of prices, and fairly
transfer the muslin manufacture to Ireland, as the "am
manufacture was carried off from the South of England to
Yorkshire.—Glasgew Chronicle.

An Edinburgh paper says—" We regret to learn that
scarlt t fever is prevalent in several parts of this city at
present. Within these ten days one family in the southern
districts has lost three children from this fatal discos:."

THE FRENCH PRETENDER.

We copy the following Proclamation of the new French
Prince from a Now York paper :
PROMISE Or THE KING or FIIANCE.—The intrigues which
have been made use of to prevent my return to France have pre-
vailed over the sacred duties which my misfortunes imposed on
the authorities to whom I addressed myself. When I endeavoured,
by means of a voluntary subscription, to procure the necessary
funds, the infernal genius of the sanscolottas corrupted the pa.
triotic loyalty of those to whom I applied. Hoping by my per-
severance to disappoint the hopes of intrigue, I hove caused. t•m be
printed NO memorials. by muting which, it may be judged, that
if I was not the son of Louis XVI. the Censors would have laid
cnntplaints against me. Iloweve►, they have no resource but in.
trtgue, which thus t'ar has perfectly answered their purpose. Theme
who wish to satisfy their curiosity, or who are desirous or doing
me a service, may effect both purposes by taking one of those me-
morials. It will east them one dollar. and I promise, as soon as I
shall have succeeded to my rights, to be delivered to each of them
a barrel of vin de grave. Any person ilesimus of procuring one
of these memorials, may see toe in person, at No. 411, Couraandt.
street.

The intrigues that have been resorted to in the different cities to
Prevent ni) ohteining supplies ran now no longer calm. t'itisen La
I'syette will attest that the Dauphin of France, on the death of his
father, was only three years old. Ile nimbi to remember, that he
took hint in 1791 from the arum of his nurse, to shew him to the
people. This happened at the palace ofVersailleit ; eonserpiently,
all who say that he was nine years old on the death of his father,
ars evil-disposed persons, besides being crazy.
