IAtTE Fritt AT AllEt AMICHI.-Friday evPning,
the Diana, Lookup, from Mirarnichi.) hound to Dumfries, put
into tVidtehavin, after a passage of .a: days, haying left that
settlement on the 12d of October. She brought home pal-

sengers, all Scotch, who escaped the dreadful conflagration.
Stoddart, one of these passengers, lays, that his father, mother,
eldest brother, and three misters, were all burnt t a cinder.

Another says that he made his escape from his bed, and got
into the water for safety, where he remained several hours, and
with difficulty saved himself, even in that opposite clement ;
that during the tihie of his immersion, the hurricane and fire
raged with most fripthtful violence, and so rapidly dill the flames
run from place to place, his bedfellow did not succeed in mak-
ing his escape, and was burnt ; indeed, the fire in some plans,
it is'said, literally flew upon the wings of the wind, travelling
at least 12 miles an hour. Cows. horses,
tact 511
kinds of cattle, were seen, after the fire, floating [form the river
in large quantities, having sought the water for safety, bat
there perished. It is impossible, however, another passenger
observes, to convey an adequate idea of the destruction. The
names of several hundred, supposed to have perished, had been I
given in ; lout no correct and complete account could he ob-
tained up to the time of the sailing of the Diana. It is thought
that a great number had perished in the woods. The Diana
had a stormy passage, and woes ten days in the Channel. The
17 passengers on hoard of her who escaped the fire lost every
thing. A man and his wife, and three sons and three daugh-
ters, belonging to Dumfries, came here on Sunday from the
Diana. They say that Captain Lookup's behaviour to them
was kind indeed. De not only gave them a free passage, but
made them a present of halt' a guinea to help diem home.
N CututENcv.—Thi. assimilation of the im-
perial currency, in common with every measure tending to faci-
litate the intercourse and perfect the union of the two coun-
tries, will, unquestionably, be productive of great and perma-
nent advantages. Pending the transition, however, and until
the public are familiarized with the new system,
much prac-
tical inconvenience will, no doubt, he experienced, especially
among the humbler classes, who can scarcely be expected to
comprehended at once the true nature of so important a change.
The removal of erroneous impressions, and diffusion of just
notions upon ;he subject, is therefore at the present moment
peculiarly desirable, with a view to lessen the difficulties which
must at all events he encountered. Among other points, it
ought to be generally knows, that the period for demanding
payment, or for exchanging the old notes which may be in cir-
culation after the sth of January, is unlimited; so that no lapse
of time, or delay in presenting them. can, in the slightest de-
gree, invalidate the clause of the holder, or affect the real value
of the note, which for an indefinite period will continue ap-
plicable to all its present purposes. A right understanding
upon this point may be the means of preventing, at the ap-
proaching Juncture, a simultaneous pressure upon the Bank,
altogether unnecessary and alike inconvenient to that esta-
blishment and to the public. It many eases, indeed, a reser-
vation of old notes, for the purpose of discharging. engage-
ments contracted befhrc the sth of -fairway.; -maybe found ex-
tremely useful in superseding the necessity. of perplexing cal-
culations, and in obviating the embarrassment incidental to
ransactions with uninformed or prejudiced inclividuals.—(Dnb-

GROSS 0 rift G 11:.—As Mr. Peter Ittre, a coin-
mercial geutleman from Macclesfield, was proceeding in his gig
front North Cave to Howden, in the evening of the 26th inst.,
about seven o'clock, he was suddenly surprised by six men
riding on horseback at foil gallop, one of whom came with tre-
mendous force in direct contact with the driving side, break-
ing the cross-bar, both shafts, and otherwise considerably in-
juring the gig. Fortunately, Mr. Ince received no personal
injury, whilst the man was thrown from his horse, and both,
it is feared, are very seriously injured. in a few minutes af-
terwards the whole party returned, evidently in quest of the
hat which the man who was thrown from his horse had lel
behind, which Mr. hoe had secured in order to identify the
parties, if possible, and which he refused to give up unless the
parties would furnish him with their names and residences,
or ,ro with him to the nearest town, a distance of about two
miles. They then proceeded to use the most insulting lan-
guage, !surrounded Mr. Ince's gig, stopped his horse, and one
of them severely beat him with a stick on the back part of the
head, by which the brim of his bat was broken, and which
would have dke him a serious injury, had it not been for a
high standing coat collar and shawl handkerchief, that pre-
vented the blow from, taking eff:ct. The constables of How-
den were sent in pursuit, and, by the hat, discovered the
whole party, who were taken into custody. We understand
the parties have'confessed the injury done, promised to pay all
damages, and consented to make an apology, on condition of
further proceedings being dropped, to which Mr. Ince has very
humanely
consented,
