FIRES.

About three o'clock on W ednesday morning, a fire broke
not the Plough Inn, etaphato, which spread itself from the
tip room upwards with such rapidity, as scarcely to give time
fir the escape of the inmates. l'wn or three gentlemen. who
ILO taken up their abode at the inn for the night, narrowly
escaped. One of them, in bed up two pair of stairs, Muting,
his retreat cut off by the staircase being on fire, called for
assistance from his bedroom window, and fortunately a ladder
was brought him, sod he was saved front destruction. A Mr.
1. was placed 111 a still more perilous situation; he slept in the
rue pair, and in the coatiptiou which took place the people of
the house forgot to awake lihn. At length he was roused by
the crackling noi-e of the fire miderneath his bed, which he at
brat supposed to In rain violently driven against the windows.;
but immediately Mina annoyed by the smoke, he rushed out 01
the room with part 01 his clothes in his hand, and was just in
time to save his life. The family about the same lime wens
appiised of their danger ; at ii as the landbird had eight or nine
children, it required ereat exertion and considerable risk to
preserve the is of all, in which, however, he fortunately
biwereded The fire, being aided by the spirits, rased with
sue- fury as to resist every effort to get it under, until the whole
premises were consumed. What adds to the calamity is, the
yolk eeper in the hurry of business had omitted to renew the
.itranee of his property as usual, and is therefore lett in a
destitute situatitm, with a wife and a numerous family. Se-
veral adjoining buildings would pi obahly hat e shared the same
fate, had it not hems fur a prompt and ample supply of water.
The paper-mills of Messrs. Osenham and l'ini, at Wear,
about midway from Exeter and Topsham, were completely de-

Lour. 'file adjoining dwelliug-hoteat and most of Mr.
furniture, were also consumed. The quantity of paper de-
stroyed is very considerable. "che Naming sheets flew to an
