humanity bad contributed. 'to save her :—" During

took fire ; her rigging lying across her, it soon be-

people who were able to swim began to quit her.

Then, Committing herself to ProvidenCe, she jumped
into tlie'. sea, and was abOut half 'an hour, as near
as she could guess, .witlibut 'any thing to support

piece of plank, which she got under her breast'; this
was -the only support she had—and,- after being
an hour and a_half in. the Water, was taken up by
one of the Belleisle's Boats, the Officer of which,
with that. hunianity-and attention- to the weaker
sex, which, we hope, will. ever charaCterise a British
Seaman, immediately .pulled off his coat, and some
other part, of his. clothes, to cover her. • She was
soon after put on board the Pickle Schooner, from
whence she was sent on board the Revenge the next ,
morning. We-are happy to add, that she found on

Yestel-day evening about six o'clock, afire broke out
in au Upper-room in the Yellow. Fever Powder Ware-
-house, •CharingXross, which at first raged with such
impetuosity as to threaten a general conflagration in
that neighbourhood.. FrOtn the want of Water, dur-
ing the tirit half hour, the alarm was so great, that
the inhabitants begarCto remove their:furniture with
the greatest expedition ; however, by the timely and
well!dire6ted exertions of the firemen, whO arrived
with several engines, in a feW minutes, theesprogress
ofthe flames was checked; - and, in two hours,, all
danger was Wholly dissipated; the roof was almost
entirely destroyed, and the front and back garrets,
together with a quantity of furnitUre, were consider-
ably injured. ,Thei party-walls on each side 'were also
daniaged;-but,-we are happy to add, notwithstanding ,
the appearance of the fire, at the commencement,
much less damage has been sustained than 'was:at
first • apprehended. We under Stand that, the acci-
dent originated • with the carelessness of a female
servant, in leaving a lighted candle near the bed-
curtains.

Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, a fire
broke out at a Cooperage .near Osborne-street,
'Whitechapel, which gave a general
,alarm; but by
the great exertions of the persons on the premises,
and the early arrival of the firemen and engines, the
:flames were subdued without doing any very ma-,
aerial damage. ,

It has. been. oftertsineulcated, and is a truism which
cannot by too frequently ithpressed, that a Stataot-
tery is the speA.tdieit Means by which numerous inz

too, thz.4. it. is the only , medium through which •=a
considerable part of• the community have even . a
chance of rendering themselves comfortable and in-
dependent in their eircumstanqs; Equally true may
it be advanced, that the present rich. Scheme is so
constrkted, that between five and six thousand Ad-
