ALAREINI7 PIRSS.

The jeweller's shop at the eoruer of Adam.street, Adelphi,
Is the Stroud, the destruction of which by fire we autiounced
on Saturday, was that of Mr. rearm. Cossidersble de-
lay was experienced before a supply of water eosld be
procured, and also before the porter, who was the only
person in the house at the lime, could be alarmed, which
precluded the possibility of saving any of the valuable
property, euttsistiog of massive plioe, costly jewellery,
watches, he., and confined the exert' of the Aremeu to
p ling the extension df the flames to the adjoining
houses, in which they happily succeeded. We are happy to
say nu lives were lust. Mr. Fears was eat of town. He
sleeps at his country hawse at Brixton. A porter and •
shopman were left la care of the house. The latter was out
when the fire commenced. The porter could have made an
effort lit save the jewellery is the shop, wore► waver immense
value, but hesitated to break open the plate, &Grillo a short
time the fierceness of the Games rendered any effort imprac-
ticable. It has not been ascertained how the lire originated :
it is said that it was occasioned by the bursting of a gas-
p*.
On Friday night, between lee and eievea eclork, a lire broke
out in the premises of Mr. White, boat-builder, sear Foe a-
Rothsrhithe, which is • few oniautts became very
alarming, particularly on account of the houses near it being
mostly built of wood, and the street, or passage, scarcely
twelve feet wide. A •amber of engines soon arrived, but,
owing to the scarcity of water, could render but little service,
and the Basses continued raging with the utmost fury for
about 20 minutes, when the premises were est irely destroyed.
About this time the adjoining premises, occupied by Mr.
Enos as • granary, which were very extensive, sod bearlly
stored, took fire, and burnt nefariously as to bid defiance to
all exertions to extinguish it; aid the whole of those build-
ings were also entirely destroyed, together with the stores
contained its them. The premises of Messrs. Brgbie and
Baron next caught fire, sad their granary was very soon
laid a beep of rains. The lames rose to • tremendous
height, and the whole atmosphere of the metropolis was com-
pletely illuminated. The granary of Mr. J. Thomas next
fell under the Ivry of the devastating element, and was also
di wrap d. Part of the premises of • tar-yard were eavid.
The Old Anie, public-house caught lire, but fortunately
was soon extinguished by the exertions of the firelllon; had
this house been cossunsed, the consequence must have
been dreadful, as the adjoining buildings ate all of wood,
and is so tumefied • sitestien of to reader It almost impos-
sible to afford any assistance. The property &tattled is
very great, and, it is said, net insured to uear the amount.

A singular calamity laat week betel Mr. Macho,
of Wianington, within a abort distance horn 01J Parr's re•
eidetic., in Shropshire. 0a Wednesday a child was sent to
Mr. Hunches's to procure ire, and, passing near to some
loose straw, kindled the same, which speedily communicated
to a stack of hay, about twenty Irma, and destroyed the
whole. This mass of fire continued four days in a red glow.
On Saturday a strong whirlwind carried a portion of the
burning hay to the top of a stack of barley, 150 yards dis-
tant, which was iontautly enveloped in tholes, and kindled
• stack of wheat, containing IVO strikes, of floe
quality
We regret to say the whole was consumed; so intense was
the heat, that I treat, growing uear the spot, are
charred and destroyed

• On Thursday, the 13th June, at two o'clock in the
day, a young woman living at the Rev. JOHN
PeItxIFATHRI'II, near Newport, county Tippe-
rary, was forcibly carried away by two ruffianr,
mimed Coffee. A pursuit instantly commenced,
when the woman was recovered, but the fellows, we
regret to say, have for the present eluded justice.
This is the young woman •who was forcibly taken
off the IVaterford coach last spring, when on her
way to Cloumel, as a crawls prarecator she was
then immediately recaptured, and after the Assizes
were over she was placed for safety unde► the
protection of the Rev: ITINNEFATHER, whence
she was a second time forcibly carried away. The
fellows had their plan well laid ; the girl was in the
habit of going into the wheat held to look about
the country business ; the two Cutlers had a car
mar, and taking the opportunity when the girl's
buck was to them, they seised her and threw her
into the car, sad drove off towards the ling, but
being closely pursued they abandrined the car and
the prise, and scampered off to the f&statea►as of
the hog. The girl has a fortune of 250/., and is to
be married in a few data to a shopkeeper iu Nt nigh.
