DUBLIA', MAaca 17.

. This day, the colt:oration in honour of the tutelar,
Saint of Ireland will be markzd by a ball ant
nipper, to be given at Dublin Castle, with that'
splendid munificence which has distinguished all the
hospitalities of our present Illustrious Representatives
of Majesty. We have already observed the arrival
of several of our Nobility and principal Gen"
who are anxious to testify their respell for their
Graces the Duke and Duchess of Deilford, by being
present upon the occasion.
The present Spring Assiz •ii opened their com-
mencement in the following counties, yesterday, viz.
for the county of Wicklow, at Wicklow, before the
Laird Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Baron
George ; for the east of Kern,' Tralee, before
the Hon. Judge fetcher and the Hon. Baron
S.iiith; and for the county of Longford, at Long-
turd. before the Hoti. Judges Day and Mayne.
These has been d number of footpad ranb-ries
here. The depredators have appetite.' in a -party of
ten ; hut we lope the gang is broken, as several of
them are taken

Yesterday morning, about half past four o'cinclt,
cheadtul fire brake out at the manutaElory of Messrs.
C ass es r r and Co. Tottenham Court-road; a smoke
was observed, by a person who lives opposite, to
proceed from the' premises, who immediately gave
the alarm. in a few minutes the flames issued from
every part of the premises, and in a short space of
time had assumed so formidable all appearance, that
the whole neighbourhood was considered in the most
imminent danger. About halt pair( six, a number
of engines had arrived, but no water could be pro-
cured, till nearly half past seven, by which time, the
whole of the interior was a heap of ruins, and the
flames were issuing front the front of thy, building ;
the houses on each side, composing a 'Nut of
the manufadory, and occupied by several families,
employed in the concern, were entirely consumed,
with the wlu,le of the furniture ; the backs of tie
houses in Francis-street, and the Livery-Stables on
the other side, are very much damaged, and some of
tEe :urniture entirely destroyed. The damage is
at present estimated at 40,0001 ; about 1-.01101 of
which only is lissom,. A small qu intity of wood,
and a few musical instrument*, have been saved.
—The accident is supposed to have been occasioned
by the tine of a stove, which ran through the floors
of the building, and communicated with the wood
work. The Volunteers of the neighbourhood were
on duty at an earl hour, and by their exertions
tended to preserve the property, and keep off the
crowd.—There ate several sirmlar Manufaetorii s
in the neighbourhood, the Proprietors of which,
much to their honour, would not idiot their men to
work, but sent them to assist the unfortunate suf-
fere: s in the removal ef their goods.
A baker, of riy mouth, and his wife, of the name
of iffestett, wets committed to Facie,' Gaol, en
Tuesday, for passing forged Bank of England Notes.
Doric/ the search of the man's premises, the
daughter was sent to a neighbour's house, with a
saucepan, whit:h, on be:r4 produced and exa-
mined. was discovered to have's false handle, and
or, drawing it out, the et:lint:l found Bank et' Erg-
laud Notes, to the amount 17S pounds, concealed
in it.
