About three o'clock on the morning of th? 27th ult. the fishermen,
of St. Doginell's and Aberpotth, near Card,ean, experienced a sudden
and tremendous gale of wind, by which two boats and eleven of the
crews perished. These unfortunate suetrers have left ten widows
and thirty-five children. -
An inquest has been taken at the Black Lion, Berwick-street, Soho,
by A. Cell, Esq. the Coroner for Westminster, on the remains of the
h 'dies of 1. A. 1.. Seymour, aged eight years; Mary Seymour, aged
six years; and Frances Maria :,eyrnour, aged four years, who lost their
Ives in the dreadful conflagration in Vfardour-street, on Thursdar
m irning. Mr. Samuel Lake deposed, that he was junior partner with
Mr. Seymour his brother-in-law ; that they carried on the business of
surveyors and carpenters, at No. 79, Wardour-street •, on Vigednesday
night they retired to bed, witness and wife slept in the front garret,
and Mr. and Mrs. Seymour slept in the front room on the second
floor with the two eider children, the youngest child slept in the
back garret with the servant-maid ; about two o'clock Mr. Seymour
was awoke by the smell of smoke, and instantly alarmed witness, who
came down stairs, and finding the lower part of the house in flames,
lie went up again, and prevented those who were coming down, except
Mrs. Seymour, who rushed down to the street door; they were all in
their night clothes, and had no time to dress, in consequence of the
rapidity with which the tire was burning; he next alarmed the ter-
yams, and they all got out at the garret window, over the parapet
wall. Having also given the alarm in the street, the watchman came,
when Mrs! Seymour opened the street door. By this time the flames,
had got a-head, and it was impossible to save any of the property.
He did not know what become of Mrs. Seymour, until she was
brought to Mr. Falicer's, the ironmonger, in the utmost distress about
her three children. Witness then went to inquire for then round the
neighbourhood, but in vain : he heard nothing about them until that
afternoon, when the two elder were dug out of the ruins, and the
youngest child was also dug out about four o'clock the following
afternoon: their limbs were entire, but they exhibited most dreadful
spectacles. The neighbours arrived and rendered every assistance, as
did several engines. Notwithstanding their efforts, the premises were
burnt down in about an hour. What occasioned this sad calamity he
did not know ; but he conjectured the fire communicated to the wood
beam ;n the chimney from a copper, under which a fire was lett
burning.--The Coroner, in Isis charge to the jury, observed, that the
unfortunate circumstance was quite accidental, in which they min-
i
tided, and returned lb; verdict acc9TAlayz— AcciDE NT A DEATH.
