RAIISOATM. 0411 T. 23.—About eight o'clock this
morning, one of his Majesty's messengers arrived
here on his route from Hanover to London, with
'6. highly important" despatches for the Foreign..
office. He left Hanover on Wednesday, the 17th,
and arrived at Calais on Sunday afternoon, the 21st
inst. None of the regular packets were ready to
sail, or likely to leave till the next day, even sup-
posing the wind should look fair; and as the ur-
gepcy of the messenger's mission, had been im-
pressed on him, he engaged an open boat, with
seven men to convey him across the ehannel. This
boat started from the harbour of Calais about four
o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and made towards
Dover. The weather was then fine, and the sea
steady, though somewhat contrary; but after being
out at sea about two hours there came a violent
' storm. To make for Dover was found to be dan-
gerous, as well as useless, to make for Deal.—
The wind blew uncommonly hard, and the men
began to despair of even getting so near Deal as to lie
enabled to raise the customary signals for boats t.)
come out. This object, however, was eventuafiv
accomplished, after having been blown about for a
long time; hat on making the usual signs, they
were answered by *the firing of guns, that the boats
could not venture out, owing to the severity of the
gale. The'boat kept out at sea, and after beating
about for a considerable time it laid to, and 900T1
afterwardi male for Ramsgate. With great tilt&
culty it was enabled to make Ramsgate pier, and
eventually to get within our harbour about eight
o'clock this morning. The perilous situation of the
boat had been observed for some time, and it gave
great satisfaction to see it at last regularly making
tor Ramsgate pier. The whole party, who had
thus been beating aoout in an open boat for 16 hours,
while the ordinary patsage occupies only three or
four; on landing, were, as you may imagine, greatly
exhausted. The sea had been beating ever them for
hours, three or four of the men occupying themselves
in bailing out the water. The messenger very soln
afterwards proceeded in a post-chaise for Lundorg
wet as he was.

Tuesday morning an accident, which occasio-ie 1
considerable alarm, and might have been attended with
dangerous consequences, took place in the house of M.
.111urtraist, fire-work maker, in Westminster road. It ap.
pear.. 11141 one of the boss employed in making composi-
tion stars for rockets had placed a her of them on the
tender before the fire to dry, anti had set fire to our on
the hots which falling in amongst the others, the whole
exploded, by which a little girl was mach burin on tl.c
back, and so frigloeued that she ran to the window of Cie
first fluor, but was prevented -jusupiug out. The bey
escaped up the area with his jacket on fire. The neigS.-
bones were now much alarmed, fearing the fire iincl:t
misread to more combustible matter in the house, and •o
on to the extensive workwhops of Madame flengler, t.:st
pyrutechnic to his Majesty but, ths °ugh the acti%ity f
the workmen, who rats into the adjoining house with
buckets of water, further damage was happily preveute I,
or the consequences might have been dreadful. Au ac-
cident of a shocking nature, it will tie recollected, oevir-
red about three years since in the saute person's icpJ•iw
tory, when two men were killed by the explosion.
