ALARMING FIRE.---AYestertlay morning, about one
o'clock, part of the erernises of Mr. Brealey, dyer, Garden-lane,
Westminster, was discovered to be on fire. The watchman with
difficulty succeeded in arousing. Mr. and Mrs. Beesley, who slept
on the flat floor, and hail retirid to rest about an hour befire. On
awakening, they were surprised at finding their chamber filled with
smoke, and on opening the !tom door the staircase was discovered
to be enveloped in flames, which wete rapidlyiecreasing. Escape
by the front door was thus rendered impossible, and the alarming
progress of the flumes approaching their bed-chamber induced
them ft ascend to the second floor, where four children and a maid
servant slept. The family succeeded in escaping without the
slightest injury. The premises were insured In the office of the
Sun. the engine; of which arrived soon after the egress of the in-
mates, and, being followed by others, their exertions, assisted hy a
plentiful supply of water. succeeded in subduing the status before
much damage was done to the adjoining premises. Mr. Brealey's
house, with the back premiere, were, however, completely reduced
to a heap of t uins.
DARING AND EXTENSIVE RORBERY.-011 Thursday
morning last, the bed-room of Mr. S. Knight, landlord of the
Masonic Inn, situate in Droad-stmt, in this town, was entered,
by, it is supposed, two persons wits had slept in the house the two
preceding nights, and a small tea-chest broken open, and its con-
tents, cut.sisting of upwards of Inf. in sovereigns and notes, with
a silver watch also in it, stolen. Tne two persons whom they sus.
pert., and of which there can be no doubt but that they were the
perpetrators of the robbery, had been remaining in the house for
own clays, and by their conversation they led the landlord to ima-
gine that they were horse-jockeys. On the morning in question,
they left the house after takirg is glees of gin each about half.past
eight o'clock, with an intention, as was collected from their man-
ner, of again returning, es they did not pay their reckoning ;
about ten minutes after they were gone, 3lta. Knight, having
occasion to go up stairs to the place where she deposits her
money, discovered that the tea.chest had been broken open
and the money stolen. Suspicion fell on these men, and application
was immediately made to the Magistrates, and a number of
officers were instantly despatched in every direction ; but we are
sorry to say, their exertions were without any effect, as they all
returnee( in the course of the (lay without being enabled to gain
any intelligence or clue of them ; the officers were sent on
the Tavistock, Exeter. and Cornish roads, and indeed in every
direction. The march was again renewed yesterday, but,
as before, without effect. We understand, that theme men,
with several others, have been in the habit of visiting this
town every six months, for the last two or three years,
and st those periods one or two usually slept at Mr. Knight's.
About 12 months since the same party was here, and there is very
little doubt but that they robbed a fanner, whom they fell in com-
pany with at Modbury, of a considerable sum of money ; they bevel
tn all their visits represented themselves sa horie-jockeys, but they '
have never bent seen with horses, or, in fact, having any thing to
do with horses, and there cannot be a question hut that they arc a'
gang of organized robbers, who make periodical visits round the
country, for the vole purpose of rehbery. An intelligent police officer'
of Devotuport informed us that he had had .suspicion of a gang who
had a woman or two in company with them, and who had been pa-
rading Derunport for the last day or two, and, from the description,
there can be no doubt but that they were companions of these fel-
lows. Five of them arrived in this town on one of the Exeter
coacher' on Tuesday last. amongst whom were the two men now in
pursuit of; one of the party was seen in company with a well-look-
ing fat woman walking the sweets on Wednesday. The two that
robbed Mr. Knight are young men ; one was dressed in a blue coat,
tiaik waistcoat, light entdutoy breeches, and light gaiters, about
five feet six inches is height, dark complexion, strong features, and
has lost his fore teeth. The other is rather shorter, nag dreaued in
black, dark complexion, with a very large nose.—Plyntonth
