FIUE—DISCOVERY OF A PRIVATE GLAIR/P.lloOn.
Tuesday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke
out in the house of Mr. Clancy, tailor, of No. 33, St. Cle-
ment's-lane, Strand, which threw the neighbourhood into
great alarm and confusion. During the fire, an elderly
man was stopped as he Was proceeding from the kitchen,
with a quantity of melted glint and other property ; and,
on entering the kitchen, a furnace of considerable dimen-
sions wee found burning. The apartment contained an
enormous MASS of glass, some melted, and of the most va-
luable kind ; and reeds, with the whole of the necessary
apparatus for glass-blowing, were found. The fire originated
in consequence of the overburthened state of the furnace.
The old man was taken from the watch-house to B nv-street
yesterday morning for examination. In his defence, he
said he was merely employed by a Jew pedlar to take care
of the place, at a shilling per day. Mr. Minshull had no
doubt but illicit practices had been carried on in the place
for a considerable period, and remanded the prisoner for
the attendance of Mr. Mayhew, the Solicitor of Excise.
SHOCKING ACCIDKNT.—The following is an extract of
a letter from Antwerp, dated Bth March :—" Yesterday
evening, at about half-past six, a shocking accident took
place at the entrance of the coal canal (Ortelins Quay).
At the moment the draw-bridge on the north side was
about to be let down, the imprudent multitude, crowding
too fast on to the bridge before it was properly fixed on the
opposite side, one of the axle-trees gave way, and the
bridge, in it fell, dragged in about thirty persons. The
tide was high and on the ebb. Eight victims only as yet
have been discovered ; six men, one woman, and a young
child. There is reason to hope that this number will no.
be increased, but the fate of one woman is still doubC•il."

tilled with hippocria (spiced wine) be stood up, end silence
being commanded,expressed himself aloud in these words:—
" Mr. Recorder of London, and you my good brethren the Al.
dermen, best witness that I drink unto Mr. Alderman Maseam, as
Sheriff of London and Middlesex, from Michaelmas next coming
for one whole year; and I do beseech God to give him as quiet
and peaceable e year, with u good and gracious favour of ber
Majesty, as I myself and my brethren the Sheriffs now being have
hitherto had, and as 1 trust shall have."
Having thus spoken, ell the company present pledged
the same health. The sword-bearer upon this repaired to
Grocers' Hall, where Mr. Alderman Massain was at din-
ner, and repeated the words which the Lord Mayor bad
used. The Alderman made this modest reply:—
"First I thank tiod, who through his great goodness hath called
me from a very poor and mean degree unto this worshipful state.
Secondly I thank her Majesty, for her great goodness in allowing
us these great and ample franchises. And thirdly I thank my
Lord Mayor, for having so honourable en opinion of this my Com-
pany of Grocers as to make choice of me, being a poor member of
the same."
He and all the company then pledged his Lordship's
health, and returned him their thanks.
