FLEA AT WINDSOR.

We stated, on Wednesday last, that a fire broke
ant, about five o'clock on sfuesday, in the Horse
Barrack, at Windsor. It commenced in the officers'
apartments and mess room, which, being in front
of the building, and detached, fortunately confined
the flames to there apartments—they were entirely
destroyed. A great scarcity of water, and the
Barrack engines being out of repair, precluded all
satiety/ice, till the arrival of engines from the Foot
Barracks, parish church, and Messrs. Ramsbot-
toms'. One of the privates of the any.d tiorse
Guards (Blues), who endeavoured to save some
property belonging to an officer, was obliged to
make his escape out of a three-pair of stairs win-
dow; fortunately he was caught on feather beds,
without receiving any injury, except his halt and
clothes being scorched.
The accident was occasioned by plumbers mak-
ing a fire on the top of the building, to repair the
roof, and afterwards negledling to attend to it.—
it tray he remembered. that Westminster Abbey
caught fire from a similar cause.

of ISublin was prndiughefore Parliament. hiss de-
clined standing again for that city, but %ill came
