DREADFUL Fiat:.—Yesterday afternoon, between three
and four o'clock, a fire, which at first threatened great devastation,
broke out in the premises of Mr. Sou thhall, box and packing-case
maker, in Fleece-court, Queen-street, Cheapside. From the in-
flammable nature of the materials with which the premises were
stored, the most dreadful consequences were anticipated, and the
flames raged with the utmost fury. The various fire.etigines ar-
rived, and a plentiful supply of water was obtained ; yet. owing to
the place being so narrow, it was almost impossible for the men to
get at the burning building.* However, the pipes were carried
through the houses in Queen-street, and the opposite elements were
opposed to each other for a considerable time, till at length the
flames were subdued, but not till the premises of Mr. Southhall
were reduced to ruins, and part of the Fleece public-house next
door was also destroyed. The origin of the fire has not yet been
ascertained. Cheapside, during the fire, was rendered iffipassable.
SMUGGUNG.—Friday, before F. L. Beckford, Esq.,
H. Eyre, Esq., and Capt. Rainier, three of the county Magistrates,
at the Town Hall, Southampton, Jacob Long, Richard Webb,
Daniel Brown, and John Serie, were brought up in custody of the
Christchurch coast-guard, charged, on the information of S. Le
Fevre, Esq., Collector of the Customs at this port, with having,
on the 2d inst., been taken within four leagues of tke coast, em-
ployed In smuggling. The facts of the case appear to have been
shortly as follow :—John Bull, one of the Christchurch coast-
guard, who had the watch on Christchurch Head, about one
o'clock on that day discovered a suspicions looking vessel in the
Offing, standing for the Needles; and communicating the circum-
stance to Lieutenant Butcher, the chief °film of the station. the
eight-oared galley was instantly manned, and they succeeded, at
half-past seven p.m.. in pullng alongside a smuggling vessel, with
a six-oared galley and a tub-boat attached to her. The smugglers,
alarmed at their situation, four, of them leaped into their galley,
with the view of escaping, but were prevented and *cured, together
with the tub-boat and 118 casks of foreign spirits, part of which had
been thrown overboard. The vessel contrived her escape whilst the
seizure was securing, and the information, as far as 'regarded her,
in amsequence failed. Mr. Bryant was for the prosecution, and
Mr. Minchin, of Portsmouth, and Mr. Cowper, for the defence,
by whdm several legal objections were taken to the informations ;
but which having failed, the Magistrates found the whole of the
defendants Guilty, and adjudged Brown to the payment of the
penalty of loot. ; and bong, IVebb, and Serie, being seafaring
men, to serve in his 'Majesty's navy for tbe term of five years.
