was the progress of the devouring element that in less than
fifteen minutes the whole house San in a blare. Serious apprehen-
sions were entertained that the dames would extend to the
promises of Mr. 'rocket, grocer, on one side, and those of Mr.
Underwood, irostnonger, on the other • but although they must
have sustained considerable injury, the efforts of the firemen proved
ultimately effectual in confining the fire to the premises of Mr.
Envie, ahvh, with all their contents, were totally destroyed.

in Clarz-smet. and the Mercury printing-otlice (situated behind

NI ot v SII I PWIt Fr x.—(Further Particulars.)—
We are sorry to record the Ines, on the matningof Friday sennight,
of the brig Fortitude, of Swansea, tm.t.mlier with Captain Cundy,
his wife, two children, servant girl, and the whole of the new.
making in number ten persons who have unfortunately perished !
The Fortitude, in company with several other vessels, sailed from
Newport (Moninoutlishwe tiff Waterfmd, on the preceding day:
and, late in the 'veiling, the wind limieg veered to the westward,
land blowing hard, she endeavoured to make for Penarth Roads,
but in the attempt ran on those dangerous shoals, called the Nass '
Sands. At four o'clock she was observed from the land, without a'
single person um Ward, the sea breaking over her in a tremendous
manner, and by wren nothing was to be seen save the Hosting
wreck. The body of Mrs. Untidy, and those of one of her children
and servant girl. were washed nn shore shortly after the melancholy
event ; but those of the remaining unfortunate sufferers hare not
yet been found. It is with horror we have to add, that when the
body of Mrs V. was recognized by her brother (from Swansea),
it was ascertained that Mr pockets were cut oft; and that her ring
had been taken oft her finger! Her ear-rings, however, being
covered by her disordered hair, escaped the observation of these dia-
bolical wretches. We hope and trust that the means usitig to find
'them out will prove successful--tHeaccrter Jon,nal.
