11111 AT THE CUSTOII-110U8E.—Ote Wednesday
night, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock,
a fire was perceived in the New Tobacco Store at
the Custom-house, the flames of which ascended
with such rapidity, that great fear was rittprtnitied
of its communicating to the adjoining buildings, in
which were ►tared upwards of two hundred
thousand pounds worth of tobacco and other
mercantile property ; but most fortunately, through
the exertions of some officers, who were on
duty, with the prompt assistairce of the nightly
watch, aided by the sailors, who forced the door,
and supplied water with their buckets out of the
dock, the flames were subdued. The fire origi-
nated by the sentry-box takivg fire, in which one
of the daily fate•keepers stands; fortunately the
night was calm, or the consequences might have
been d►eudfnl to the shipping in the flock,
which is so close to the stmes. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed on the different officers and per.
auras who aided and assisted iu potting down this
alarming fire, pinticularly as they had no fire re-
and the destruction of such au immense pros
iserty 'night at this
both to tie Clover 1111 l reit and the Alerchant, neither
of whom, in all probability, have had the property
contaiued iu these stores insured.

LIMERICK, OCTOBER 11.

It is with great pleasure we learn, that the bakers
of this city have determined in the course of next
week, on increasing the ►ize of bread. Wheat
having now fallen so low es 151 to 181 a stone,
they conscientiou►ly feel, that it would be an evi-
dent injustice to the public. to keep down the size
of the loaf any longer. ExclusiVe of the moral
rectitude of this determination, it agrees with good
sense, and skews that the bakers are good politicians.

CLONMEL, OCTOBER 11.

It will he remembered we stated a. frwdaysage
that arms had been taken from the bleach-green of
Caller. on the morning of Sunday, the 311 instant.
We have now the pleasure to ►tgte, these arms have
been recovered.

Un Sunday, the 3d (the same day the arms had
been tikes') the Rev. John Power, Parish Priest
of Caller, after severely reprehending from the altar
the plunder of the armq, and depicting in the
stronge►t colours the evils and opprobrium such
conduct must entail on the country—exhorting the
congregation to use their utmost efforts, nut only
to prevent the recurrence of such enormities, hut
to cause the arms to be re,ttireft without delay. The
consequence was, that on the morning of the follow-
ing ‘Vednesday, all the arms taken from the green
on the Sunday preceding, were found at the door of
the bleaching greeu wutch•house.
