ALARMING Fla.—Yesterday morning, about a quarter
before five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in the King's '
Arms tavern, Philip-lane, Aldermanbury. Mr. tt. Wllby, land.
lottl of the house, his family, and a number of travellers who fre-
quent It, had scarcely time to escape from the couflagration, which
went on so rapidly that the Plasttrera' flail, on the one side, Mr.
Coombe's house on the other, and the surrounding buildings, must
have been Injured had it not been for the timely arrival of the
Union, Globe. Albion, and other engines. With a good supply of
water they confined the flames to the spot of their origination. We
are sorry to add, that .Mr. Kays, a traveller, in whose room the
fire commenced, owing to his not.having put out the light, in dread-
fully burn:. He Ica also lost considerable property, and few, if
any, have Tot oft tree of loss. They were all obliged to fly through
the streets, undressed, to the watehhouse, where they met a shelter.
MELANCHOLY CATABTI:OPHE.--011 the morning of the
10th ult. as C. W. Downes, Di.iond two other gentlemen, were ou
on a shooting excursion, between Gerby and Ashby.ole.la.Ziouch,
thew were attracted to a triangular-formed hovel, by the unusual
barking of their dugs. During the night a deep snow had fallen,
which the current had drifted into the hovel to a considerable depth.
On pashiug away an old hurdle, which sae placed agt.inst one of
the entrances, they found theremnins of a miserable family, consist.
tug to a man, his wife, and four children, who had inefVectually
sought this miserable retreat to shield them from the pitiless pelting
of the storm. The body of the father was frozen, and close to
breast lay the remains of his son and daughter, the former about
live and the latter nitwit seven years of age. Between his knees
was the body of a fire line, about three years of age, and close to
his side were evended tilt. remains of Ins wife, with the only ete..
vim, an infant of a few months old, vainly endeavouring to drawt
the current of life from the chilly hresiata of its departed mother.
Assistance was called, but every effort to restore intonation prowrd
ieeffcental. all of them bring dead, except the infant, which ha,,
sti!.vivell the thole of its ill-fated family.—Glultecacr Journal.
