RICHARD CARLILE.

Mr. 11. COOPER moved for a Rule to shew cause why the
late Sheriff of London should not proceed to sell certain effects
belonging to Carlile, seized under a writ of levarifacias,inNo-
vember 1819, and which the Sheriff; in his return, stated were
in his possession, waiting the further order of the Court. The
Sheriff, upon the conviction of the defendant, and sentence to
imprisonment and the payment of the fine of 10001. took posses-.
sion of the effects in his shop in Fleet-street, which consisted of
many works free from any blasphemous taint, such as the
speeches of Mr. Charles Phillips and Bishop Watson's Apology
for the Bible. The object of the motion was to compel the
Sheriff to sell the effects so seized, inasmuch as the defendant
had no other means of paying the fine, and if they were not sold? '
he might remain a prisoner for life.
The COURT doubted whether they could compel the Sheriff
to sell the effects, but they granted to the Learned Counsel a
Rule to shew cause why the Sheriff's return should not be
quashed, and upon cause being shewn, they suggested that'
probably then an order would be moulded, adapted to the object
in view.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—About ten o'clock on
Thursday night a destructive fire broke out on
the extensive premises of Mr. Biggs, a tallow'
chandler and oil and colour-man, in Old Gravel-
lane, near Wapping Dock. Immediately adjoin-
ing the melting-pans of Mr. Biggs were those of
Mr. Waite, a grease-boiler in the neighbour-
hood, and from the nature of the combustible
matter in which they dealt, destruction, at
one time, threatened the whole of that pope'
lous district. The flames soon communicated to
the large wood yard of Mr. Pilkington, tin)'
ber-merchant, next door to Mr. Biggs, and about
eleven o'clock the appearance of the fire was
really terrific to all who beheld it. The whole
of Mr. Biggs's premises have been completely de-
stroyed, as well as those of Mr. Waite ; and the
same may be said of Mr. Pilkington's valuable pro-
perty, if we except his dwelling-house, which for'
tunately escaped with little injury. Behind the
house of Mr. Biggs, Mr. Jones, a milkman, lives!
and he, with difficulty, saved his cows, 10 or
in number, at the risk of his life, and having his
face and hands severely burnt. Without seeing
the devastation committed by the flames, and
the extent of ground now in ruins, it is not easily
possible to form an idea of the damage done in so
short a time. The firemen and their engines were
as usual prompt on the spot; but from the na-
ture of the materials, and the want of a supplY'f
water at the moment of their arrival, no part of
the buildings and property mentioned could be
saved. But to their exertions may be attributed
the preservation of the houses adjoining in ever 9
direction. It is believed that the fire originated
by the overflowing of one of the grease or tallow
pans belonging to Mr. Biggs or Mr. Waite; but
on this subject nothing certain is known. We
are, however, happy to say, that with the excer
tion of Mr. Jones, no serious accident befel any
one.
