Da. ALEXANDER •TlLLoctr.—We announce
with regret the, death of this Gentleman, who
had long been the Proprietor and Conductor of
The Star Evening Paper. The' melancholy
event occurred 0n.,-Weduesday last, at his house
in Pentonville. Though the labour and atten-
tion requisite in the conduct of a Daily Evening
Paper are fully sufficient to, occupy the time of
an Editor, yet Dr. TILLOCH found leisure for
philosophical pursuits, and published many use-
ful and instructive tracts, highly creditable to
his talents and astainrneots.

DANTZIC, JAN. 10.—Last year there arrived
here 8'24 ships, of which 296 are English, and
169. Netherlanders.—Sailed, 816, Of which 412
are English, and 206 Netherlanders.
TIIE DiscovEny SHIPS.—We have received
Papers from St. John's, New Brunswick, to the 17th ult. and
extract the following paragraph from the City Gazette of th
16th :—" The Discovery Ships were among the ice near Cape
Chedley, Hudson's Straits, on the 3d August ;. they were aboue
1200 miles from Repulse Bay, where they intended to winter.'t
DRZADFUI. FIRE IN DUBLIN.—About half-past twelve
yesterday, the house of Mr. BaisTow,- hatter, in Sackville-
street, corner of Earl-street, was observed to be on fire. The
fire commenced in the lower part of the house, and before an,
engine had arrived, which was not until near half an hour after
the fire began, the entire house (which is a large one) was
burning from the ground-floor to the garret. Before half-past
one the flames had communicated with the adjoining houses,
on either side, and it required the greatest exertions to prevent
their becoming a prey to the raging element. There was at first
but a scanty supply of water, which had to be carried from the
Post-office in buckets, but that deficiency was soon remedied by
the water-carts from the Paving Board. At a quarter to one,the
side of Mr. Bristow's house in Earl-street, fell to the ground.
The street where this happened-is rather narrow, and, on see-
ing it fall, a cry of horror issued from the crowd, for it seemed
quite impossible that those who were near the house could have
escaped being buried in the ruins. Fortunately, the fear was
groundless • not an accident occurred, nor was the slightest in-
jury sustained by any individual. At twenty minutes to three
the front part of the house also fell, but there was then no fear
of any casualty, as the Guards, Horse and Foot, had for some
time prevented the.people from approaching. So sudden and
violent were the flames, that the inmates of the different parts'
of the house into which Mr. Bristow's is divided, had much.
difficulty in saving their lives ; the greater part of the little
property conveyed into the street is missing.—Some of it, how-
ever, we know, was lodged in some of the adjoining houses.by
the Peace-officers. The accident occurred in consequence of a
pot of varnish, composed of materials highly inflaminable,
boiling over, and the place being full of boxes, straw plait, &c.,
the place was instantly ignited.—By five o'clock the fire was
completely extinguished. The house of Messrs. Jones and
Whitehead, in Sackville-street, adjoining to that of
Mr. Bristow, is a good deal injured ; and the house which
is next in Earl-street, is injured, but slot to the same ex-
tent. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs were on the spot at an
early hour, and greatly exerted themselves. Many persons
residing in the neighbourhood also used their utmost enertions
for the extinction of the fire ; amongst whom we remarked the
Messrs. Elliott, Sackville-street ; Mr. Henderson, North Earl-
street; and Mr. Ferguson, of the National Auction Mart, &c.
&c.—(Dublin Correspondent, Jan. 25.)
THE CusTom-HousE.—lrismediately on the
falling in of the floor of the .Long Room of the
Custom-House, arrangements were made which
will prevent any delay or inconvenience in
the transaction of public business ; by these
arrangements accommodation has been found
for the officers who usually sit in the
Long Room in the adjacent apartments, and
such notice has been affixed to the public en•
trance, of the distribution, as will insure imme-
diate information to all persons concerned. The
insecurity being confined to the centre of the
building, it has not been found necessary to
move any other offices but those of the Long
Room, and of the King's Warehouse. The Board
Room and Secretary's Office, more especially
remain undisturbed.
An Irish Paper, in a Report of the case of
44 CoX v. Kean," says,: that the Common Serjeant
having opened the case 4' in a powerfully elo-
quent speech," Mr. Denman replied to him at
some length.
