TIACkNEY CdACHE3.-,--Iht nevi hackney Coach Bill,
introduced into Parliament, repeals so much of the Act of the
54th of the King, as relates to the delivering of tickets. It
provides, that the drivel-3 of hackney coachesi in which any
property shall be left, shall carry the same to the Hackney
Coach Office, within a certain time) or be subject to a penalty.
The owners of such property are, of course to have it again,
upon identifying it. No agreement to pay more than the
established fare is to be binding; and drivers are not to
refuse a fare, although they may have been out twelve hours.
Coachmen leaving their coaches unattended, are to be sub-
ject to a penalty; and the Bill contains the usual provisions
for redress, in eases of abusive language, or improper con-.
duct on the part of the coachman. There is sonle alteration
proposed to be made in the additional fare, when driven into
the country.

CALAMITOUS ilnr.—About nine co4chick on Priday se'nnight, the
neighbourhood of the Mmorics was thrown into the utmost terror
and alarm, by the breaking out of a tire in the house of Mr. Rays
gun•smilli, whose premises are situated among a range of buildings
between the Creocent and America Square. The flames spread with
alarming rapidity, and having communicated to the adjoining pre..
rinses, :in oil warehouse, and where we understand a cottsiderable
quantity of turpentine was lodged, the fire at once established itself',
and in a short Mite found its devoltring way through the whole
range of building, a 4 far as the old city wall; and nearly to the Tri-
nity-house. Abont ten o'clock, the tire having reached the concerti
of Mr. Sltenstone, where nnfortunately. some powder had been de.
'twitted, two explosions took place, and four persons, in the act ed
breaking in the windows of the house, were dreadfully Lurt. Two
of these persons received a blast of powder in the face, and were
knocked senseless among the tumbling bricks and timber. They
were, however, immediately taken mit, and conveyed to the hospital.
One man only, we understand; is in a dangerous state. The tire
burned with incredible flay fur several honrs, and notwithstanding,
the persevering exertions of the firemen, inhabitants, and several
other periwigs it WaS no,t entirely subdued until a late hour on Sa-
tneday morn; :le, when no less than ft houses were reduced to a heap
of ashes. These were principal) jr warthonses, and among them were
noticed that of Sir C. Flower, Hart. whose papers, books, and a great
quantity of property was consumed by this dreadful conflagration.

Mr. John Visher, a farrier, about fifty years of age, was
for several montlis conflned to his bed, during which time he
suffered the most excrutiating pain and had been under the
rare of very eminent medical men. who at last told his wife
they could do no more for him ; but she being still anxious
for his recovery, took a small quantity of his urine to Doctor
CAMERON, of 3d, Berner's street. Oxford-street, who, on exa-
mining it. Informed her that her husband taboured under a
diseased liver, but not to despair, for he would restore him to
Hperfect health, which ht did in the short period of three
weeks,
