FIRE dir
AMSTERDAM, SePT 18 —To day, at noon, one
of the most dreadful fires broke out here that has
happened in this city for many years. The new -
Lutheran church on the north-east side• of the
Singel, is burnt down, together with some of the
adjacent buildings. The church was observed to be
on fire about half past one, and a little after two it
was all in flames. The heat was so great, that all
efforts to save the nearest houses were necessarily
renounced. It was felt at the distance of two streets
on the Toreusluis, and opposite the church it was
insupportable, notwithstanding the breadth of the
Singel. The sight of the lofty cupola in flames was
dreadful but sublime. The copper which covered
it, and which flew in large sheets through the air,
coloured the flames with varying tints of blue and
green, which were speedily mingled with the
brighter flames of the ardent spirit, and the dark
yellow smoke of the oil with which the adjacent
warehouses were filled. It seems certain (at least
this is the general report) that the fire commenced
in the church itself; and not in our of the neigh-
bouring warehouses; but with respect to she real
cause of the misfortune, we have little more than
conjectures. On account of the violence of the fire
and the falling sparks, the vessels nearest the Singel,
over which a very strong east wind fortunately
drove the thick smoke, had to remove to another
place ; it does not, appear that any of them have
received muds damage. The fine church thus de-
stroyed, and of which little will remain but the
wall round it, which is' ten feet thick, was erected
in the year 1678, 1681, chiefly by voluntary do-
nations.
The fine dome wax buil: on the model of that of
St. Peter's at Rome, and as well as a semicircular
building adjoining. covered with copper, which
were brought from Sweden duty free, by permission
of King Charles Xl. On the platform of the ad-
joining back building there was a large cistern of
rain water, to be used in case of fire. We do net
know whether it has been of any service on this
occasion.
Four of the adjoining dwelling-houses and maga-
zines are burnt, and a fifth in tames.
SLOT. 19 -The fire yesterday seems to have
broken out in the lull where the plumbers had
been at work, and so rapidly spread that the church
was all in flames in half an hour, and soon commu-
nicated to the neighbouring houses and. warehouses,
some of which. being fiat of spirits of wine, and
other inflammable substances, added to the fury of
the conflagration. The greatest praise is due to the
firemen fur their extraordinary exertions, and we
arc happpy in nut having beard of one accident of
great consequence, only that oue of the firemen re-
ceived some severe bruises on the neck and hands,
another on the hands only. The whole inside of
the church is destroyed, the walls only remaining.
Happily the books and papers were saved, as well as
some valuable article*from the Consistorial Chamber.
Six dwelling houses and nine warehouses are en-
tirely or nearly destroyed.; some others are damaged,
not to any extent..

DOMISTTC TELEGRAPIE.--lhts is it very superior
invention to bells. his intended to convey order, to servants,
which they can instantly eseeute without the usual loss of time
in going to receive a verbal command. Mr. Pearson, the in-
'rotor (a resident at Boston in America), conceived the possi-
bility of surmounting the difficulties that walls and distance.
opposed to his success, and of preventing the necessity of
speech. The master is obeyed as promptly as possible, and
the servant, certain of understanding his orders, need not fear
. the ellects of waist of memory. Mr. Pesrsun's telegraph con-
sists of two dials, divided Ili the same limner ; each of the
need'es is subject to the same movement at the same time, and
over the same space. The communicational the movement
from one needle to the other was the only difficulty in this.me.
elianical problem ; this obstacle has been ingeuioesly
ror-
mounted. One of the dials is placed in the master's room, and
can be made an elegant decoration ; the other in any initiation
most cony eoient to servants Every one of the divisions, which
can he multiplied at pl . represents an order by an under-
stood signor figure ; the master poiuts the needle of his dial
to the sign or command be wishes to be obeyed, and that in-
stant the signal is repeated on the dial fined up for the servant's
use. This telegraph is easily constructed, and of very trilling
espenstp.
SWEEPSTAKES HILYNNINO MATCH.—A singular
match was run on Tuesday over a mile circle no Epping
Forest, for seventy-five sovereigns—a sweepstakes of twenty-
five each, between Vireo young gentlemen, Messrs. Hall,
• Foster nod Shee. The match was to run one hour, and Hall
was backed at 1114.11 to win. Mr. Shee resigned after com-
pleting the ninth mile, and at this time tbe race became a very
interesting one between the other two, FOllO/1 being about live
yvrds a head of his tidy y, and it was out of Isis power to
get up with him. Foster won. the race easy at least by 150
yards.
The following is a curious example of the alarm
of the French Police, respecting the jpopular mind, and its sensi-
tiveness to any thiLg like satire or ridicule of aristocracy. The
comedy of Jolts announced, about a week since, by the
English Players in Paris--it was thought too scandalous that
profligacy and knavery should be made the characteristic of the
rich and great; virtue, honesty. and independence. that of the
;nor, on the stage; and accordingly .the Prefect of Police ad-
dressed the following .* invitation" to the manager :
.• Sr a,--I mu informed that the Piece called John Ban, to be
mpreaented this evening by the English Players under your
management, is a roes farce, and might produce bad accts.—
I invite you. in consequence, to change the performance, and
substitute a less indecent piece.—Recove.

THE IHILIDE WIEII TWO BRIDEGROtoils.—The following
serious circumstance, is the subject et so aaaaaa tiou unioapt
the gossips of Lewisham and b)denlassa, and the wicinay,
where all the parties are known. A 'smog lady of great tocs-
ial and personal attractions, was bethretbed to a 'man man
of her owe rank is life. The day was Axed, and the ring
boeghl that was to uuite them. In the interim the lady had to
vi it a friend at Walsworth, and availed herself of sec of the
days Rom which Camberwell fwir was held fur that purpose.—
Ths kindness of her friends. and the amuseu.ents of the fair,

detained her longer than she intended. Bnt still she was de-
termined to get to Syderolvaan, and proceed homewards. She
was shortly overtaken by • stout young r.vn, in the workimc
dress or • bricklayer, and it being now dark, she determined
to keep op with. The bricklayer addressed her civilly, told
her how far be wa► going, a•d offered her his protection,
which she aecepted. In short the lady arrived sate at home,

and the limiest layer of bricks and mortar proceeded on his
journey. The evening previous to the knot being to be tied
between the heroine and her intended husband, while walking
together ia the fields-, perhaps laying down plans for-their
future comfort and happiness, they were met by a young gen •
Denman unknown to either of them, who seen ted the lady by
name, inquired after her health, and hoped she felt no
ill-
elfects from the night damp in walking home from Camberwell
fair a kw nights ago.—This address greatly emb d the
lady, and threw-all the thoughts of jealous Othello into the
mind of bee lover, who abruptly questioned his bride as to her
being at the fair witheet his knowledge The lady (mold not
deny the fact, but denied ever having seen the stranger;
while he persisted that he not only saw her at the fair, but
conducted her sahrhome from it. The greet-eyed meineter bad
now got complete possession of the bridegroom ; and after
upbraiding the brides infidelity, and threatening lb • stranger
with his vengeance, be rushed away, leaving her in the care
of the gentleman. The lady's distress was really- indesurib-
, able. To be suspected of improper conduct (mold not by an
iunocent mind be brooked; but to be so by her future himband,
and left by kin under the care of a stranger, was beyond' suf.
fering. The stranger, atter trying to soothe her mind as touch
'as possible, is reported to have said, the person who has
now left you, madam, is undeserving of your hand, since I.
doubts your honour. I have seem end lovedlon-for theer two
years, although my humble rank prevented me the happiness of
conversing with you, until escorting you home from Camber-
well Per you must be pleased to know that I was the
gallant bricklayer, as you kindly termed me, wiles you *hook
me by the hand on- your getting safely to the gate, on that
cieession." The young lady had now a perfect recollection of
his voice andi-person, although the latter was altered by a dif-
ferent dress—bat still her mind was in the greatest agitation ;
and whys 'she was about to speak, her protector interruptcd
ber, with saying—" Since 1 conveyed yea home from Caw-
berwell, my uncle, who was a builder, died, and left me as-
income of 7001. per annum. I am besides well acquainted
with leis business. You are a bride now, and were to be
married to-morrow. You must continue so for two days longer
than was intended this morning, to enable me to get a licence
with my name inserted thereiu as the bridegroom. On account
of your character the delay cannot exeeed the time I bays—
inentioned, and I shall not take any denial. I shall see yon
home to-night, and explain myself at large to you and to your
mother." All which was done, and the gallant bricklayer in
now the happy husband of an excellent young lady ; wb le the
engine! bridegroom must feel much mortified.
DUEL—A baut five o'clock on Tlotrulay morning.
(19th inst.) a meeting took place near the turnpike, °wilts
Cork road, a small distance west of Waterford, between. Mr.
Barron, of William-street, in that city, and Mr. Charles Eyre,
a lieutenant in the let Royals, quartered there ; the Grauer at-
tended by Dr. Alcock, the latter by an officer belonging to the
same corps. The parties discharged two shots each : in t:.e
second fire, Mr. Barton'. ball passed through the fleshy part of
Lieutenant Eyre's right thigh, and lodged in his left, fracturing
a part of the thigh bone ; but we are happy to learn Vie bull
was extracted on the spot by Dr. Alcock, the second of Mr.
Barron, and that the wound, though serious, was ont.consider, d
of a very dangerous nature. On Mr. Eyre'a tilling, Mr: Bar-
ton left the ground without-making any observation ' • and after
the ball had been extracted, Mr. Eyre was carried home to the
barrack by a party of his regiment, en a litter. We model.
stand that the duel originated in the 'die-ontinuenee of some
tentions, on the part of Lieutenant Eyre, to a lady whip is a
coatis to Mr. Barron.

ment of AM), Andrew Monier, who was at work with his wife

Lord Bolingbroke used to sarr, that the greatest
onnipli.nent which could he paid to any English gentleman re-
turned from his travels, was to sty of him " that nobody IT .10

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

'MONDAY, SEPT. 23:DE/PIRATE GANG OF BOR.
OLARS.—George Willoughby, William Hedges, and
William Brown, were capitally indicted for burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Thomas
Hughes, Esq. on the night of the 26th of August, ■nd
stealing therefrom a clock, a watch and seals, a tobacco-
box, a snuff-box, and other articles, his property.
Sarah Angel, servant to Mr. Hughes, deposed, that
her master lives in Green-street, Crosvenor-square. Ott
the night of the Vitts o! August witness went to bed at
ten o'clock, having previously seen all the doors and win-
dews fast. At seven the neat morning witness got up,
and eta going into the parlour, she found every drawer
had been blokes) open. She went down to the kitchen,
and discovered that the lock of the area &too had been

broken off. The door leading from the kitchen to the
area had a panned taken out, so as t a enable a person to
gat-through. The door at the bottom of the kitchen
. stairs had been taken off the hinges. Since the robbery
witness had seen a shirt of her master's which she could
swear ►o. was produced at the police office on the
bill of September.
Cross-exatnined.—The prosecutor, who is quite blind,
. was not here. She did not know that her master had
any other name than that of Thomas Hughes, Esq.
Elizabeth Elliott is niece to the prosecutor. Her
. uncle's name is Thomas Lowe Hughes, Had heard it
so stated and disputed, and did not think that Mr.
Hughes could himself answer the question. He was in
au extremely infirm state of health.
The. Recorder said this would do away with the capital
part of the charge. • The minor charge, however, would
still remain, as the property belonging to the servant
amounted in •alue to five shillings.
John Donaldson is a watchman in the Vauxhall road.

About five in the morning of the 27th of August he saw
Hedges and three other men coming in the direction of
Grosvenor place, and he w tched them into Gardner.
street. Hedges hail a bag over his shoulder. As they
were waking all the four men were handing things from
their pockets from one to the other.

Joseph Cooper, an officer of Queemsquare, sworn.—
At eight o'clock in the morning of the lath of August,
he received information of the robbery, and went with
another officer to search a house in Perkine-rents, Great

Peter-meet. He found none of the prisoners there, but
as he was coming out he met W illnughby, and asked
hint who lived in the parlour! He said, l do oceasionally,
or a girl I occasionally cohabit with ; I have gut the key. '
lie then opened the do.ir of the room, and witness went
and on a search he .found, underneath the pillow of
the bed, two shirts, a linen and a calico one. Witness
asked where they were, and Willoughby at first made
rtu answer to the question, but said, where is your search
warrant, Mr. Cooper t He afterwards said, they were
two of his own old shirts, and he believed were nearly '
worn out. He again asked for the search warrant,
and whorls said " I will satisfy you," and immediately
put hand-cuffs upon him anJ took him to the watch-
house. On the flth of September he apprehended lied-
stes. One of the shirts was marked H. T. S. the other
'l'. S.
Thomas Pace went with his brother officer, Cooper,
to apprehend Willoughby. On the llth of September,
about twelve at night, witness apprehended Brown, at a
house opposite to that where Willoughby was found.
Handley, another officer, was with Cooper at. the
taking of Hedges.
Susan Angel was called back, and swore to the shirts
as being her master's property. This closed the case for
the prosecution.
Willoughby denied all participation. or knowledge of
the robbery. 'l'he two shirts were handed to hint by
Hedges, who had as much access to the apartineut
where they were found as lie (Willoughby) had.
Hedges denied having seen Willoughby, or given him
the shirts, as Willoughby had stated. He had no know-
ledge of the robbery.
Brown also denied all knowledge of the robbery.
A number of persons residing in the neighboorhood of
the prisoners were called to uharacter, but could sure
nothing satisfactory of either of them.
The Recorder summed up the evidence, and observed
it was plain, from the manner in which the house of
Mr. Hughes had been entered, that the robbers were ex-
perienced and determined thieves. The only question
for the Jury was, whether tne prisoners were guilty of
the larceny, the capital part of the charge being at an
from the misnomer in the indictment.
The Jury found all the prisoners guilty of larceny.
Willoughby and Hedges were again indicted for a
burglary in the dwelling-house of Spencer rims, on the
night on the kath of August, and stealing a pair of pis-
tols and other property.
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and returned
with a verdict of not guilty as to both prisoners.
The Recorder ordered the prisoners (with Brown) up
for judgment, and sentenced them to seven years trans-
portation, observing, that but for the error in the first
svdictnient they would have undoubtedly suffered capital
punishment.
Maria Rix was indicted for having stolen from the
person of the name of Cowie, in the month of August
last, between Urea' Turnstile amid Little Queen-street,
Holborn, a watch, chant, and seals. On the prusecu-
tor's securing her (as it appeared in evidence), she passed
the boozy to a female companion, who .rail uti, and
evaded all pursuit. Tile prosecutor and the watchman
who came to his assistance were positive as to the pri-

isoner's person.—Guilty.
Ann Rogers, indicted for stealing from the clothes of
a tailor, whuw she had induced to accompany her to
her lodgings, five sovereigns in gold and some silver was
then pot to the bar. On the morning after the robbery,
the sailor found that his companion had quitted him,
and that his money was missing. In the course of the
day, haviag applied to an officer of police, he succeeded
11 tracing the prisoner to her new lodgings, from one of
time n iudows ul which she recopied she proAcui4r, and

John Turner, a respectable looking young man, was
indicted fur haring forcibly unfastened anti carried away
a copper, valise 155., from the cottage of a widow named
Mary Nietcalfe, residing in the parish of St. blarylebone.
The Jury found the prisoner Nut Guilty.
Tuitsune, Sarr. 24.—As soon as the Recorder came
I upon the bench this morning, women and children
were ordered to withdraw, and the three prisoners, Hol-
land, King and North, who had been convicted of a
nameless ct i ttt e, were put to the bar. Upon being asked
what they had to say why sentence of death should not
be pronounced upon them, Rolland, with tears in his
eyes, implored the Court to have mercy upon him, in
consideration of his wife and children, and of an aged
parent. King said nothing, North stated, that owing
to a severe bow on the head, he was occasionally un-
conscious of what he was (lulu& and subject to fits, in
consequence of which he had been discharged from his
Nlajesiy's ship the 4uroro.
Silence being proclaimed, the Recorder addressed the
prisoners to the following effect t—Prisimers, you have
been convicted of a detestable crime during the present
session. The learned and excellent Judge who presided
on your trial, implored the jury not to return that verdict
which inevitably must deprive you of life, unless the
evidence was conclusive beyond all doubt. That atten-
tive and intelligent jury have been forced, by the power
of evidence and Flash of truth, to come to that dreadful
conclusion without hesitation; indeed, it was impossible
they could have returned a different verdict. Yon have
by your abominations, disgraced human nature, and
disgraced the country in which you live. In the early
ages of the world, the Almighty destroyed whole cities
through the commission of crimes like yours; you have
polluted the world, and must depart from it. Those
unfortunate men who have forfeited their lives feel a
repugnance to ascending the same scaffold withi you,
therefore the Court order that you be executed at an
earlier and distinct period. Degraded as you are, let me
exhort you to devote the little time you have to live, in
imploring forgiveness of that Being who is able and wil
hind to extend mercy to the vilest sinner. It is my ear-
nest wish that by your contrition, you may avoid that
fire in an eternal world which consumed in former ages
the inhabitants of whole cities, for a similar ottenca to
yours."
During this address, North listened with profound at-
tention. After a short pause, the Recorder passed the
sentence of death on the prisoners in the usual form,
but mentioned no day when the execution was to take
place.
North remained at the bar a short time, and addressed
the Court, but was taken away by tt't r .3t:nkey.

the prisoner guilty.
The Recorder said, that in order to save the prisoners
from dying by the hands of the common executioner,
and to protect the lives and property of the king's sub-
jects, which, in the present state of the streets, were
not safe for a single moment. he should take can to

took to get him a bed. They went to bed in the same
room, and in the morning the prisoner went away before

March last the prisoner was taken into his service as a
light porter, in which capacity he was entrusted to vend

beer to the amount of eight-shillings to a Mrs. Dawson,
