According to the investigation which has been
made of the cause of the late dreadful fire in this
city, it seems to have begun in an outbuilding of
a sugar-refining house ; and there is reason to sup-
pose that some sparks from this latter have been
the real cause of the disinter.

We last night received Flumburgh Papers to the
46th last. They odd to the catalogue of destruc-
tive fires which have recently visited the noith of
Germany. IVe lament to find that the number of
like disasters in this country has been 'cry consider-
able. Among those of recewt date, our columns
contain en account of a dreadful tire ut Whitstable
on Sunday last. This is au interesting town,
chiefly occupied by members of the Corporation
of Oyster Dredgers, families of innocent end in-
dustrious habits, and very humble and limited
meant. These means, however scanty, are now
swept sway by this dire calamity, but we trust
thut the public beneficence will speedily exert
itself to repair the loss.

%Ye have received the Dublin Pape►s of the

of the Paris Papers is well calculated to encourage.
