repeatedly interrupted the witness by exclatnations of
" Good God I how utterly false; what will become of
you," &C. In her defence she said, that never havin
seen the Noble Lord, she requested Mr. Loftus to point
him out as he passed, and she ran in front of him and
exclaimed " the t net is 1" She declared before God
that this was the truth.
Sir Robert Raker asked her who and what the was?
Defendant—" I am the wife of a butler to a family of
distinction, in Dins,'tsliiie."

Sir It. Baker.—" is the name of the family, and
of your connections, which you have said are tespect-
Dofetulant.—" I tm perfectly innocent of the charge
and I do not choose to dis4race my friends by mention-
iog their names in this place."
Two gentlemen w tic) came with Mrs. Harris, declared
her 10 be a wonnin ui irriltruaellable character, and ex-
pressed their disbelief of the charge.
Mrs. Harris again, in a most solemn manner protested
her ilmocsuce, additig,—" 1 ant sure, if the Noble Lord
liimsekwas here, he would declare that I never uttered
the expressions imputed to me."
Sir H. Ildker.—..“ In dll probability von will have an
opportunity of beim; confronted with his Lordship."
One of the gentlemen who came with the defendant,
observed with a smile, that he did not think the Earl
of Liverpool would give himself any trouble about so
paltry an affair."
Sir It Baker.—" I don't think it a paltry affair. Per-
haps von think the officer's account true ?"
Tne defendant's friend said, he certainly was more
inclined to believe Mr. Harris's statement.

Sir It. baker.—"'That is your opinion."
'f he defendant was then ordered to tied bail, herself
in 4nl. and t•wo sureties in ..,;01. for her appearance at
the Westminster Sessions.

Alessrs. A. I). Stewart and Joseph Soper, of No. 4,
Charles-street, VVesttninstcr, army azents, Mintt.,hately
became her sureties, and she was discharttud.

DREADFUL Pint`.—An alarming fire broke out at
half:past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon in the
saw ing-yerd of Mr. Gillespie, timber merchant,
in Drury-lane. It burned furiously for nearly two
hours, and illuminated the whole of AVestminster,
the flans resisting every cant of the engines to
subdue them. The fire communicated to sonic ad-
jacent houses, and four of them were soon reduced to
ruins, making its progress towards Martlett-court,
where the inhabitants were in the utmost consterna-
tion, as were those in the whole of that cloe neigh-
bourhood. It was found necessary to raze some
premises to prevent the flames from spreading.—
The blaze of the mass of timber occasioned the
greatest alarm throughout the metropolis, as it was
supp.;el Drury-lane theatre was on fire, and the
crowds that rushed towards the place from all quar-
ters, soon blocked up the passages. The number
of persons assembled was incalculable, as the crowds
that were returning from the Lord Mayor's proces-
sion all hastened to the scene of conflagration and
ruin. It was piteous to hear the screams of women
and children, flying from their habitations, many
of the inhabitants leaving their goods and furniture
a prey to the flames, which spread with the utmost
rapidity, in cenvequence of the high wind which
blew from the north-east. AVe have not been able
to ascertain the amount of the damage, but many
poor people, we fear, have suffered severely.—We
have net hearil that any lives were lest.
