addrsss a simple letter to the Minister of the Inte-

again mix themselves up in political questions.

(FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.)
BRIDPORT, DORSET.—Friday last, Sept. 28, was the
day appointed in this town for general humiliation and
prayer, in consequence of the present visitation of cho-
lera. Numerous congregations were assembled at the
various places of worship in the morning and evening.
The Rev. T. Wallace was proceeding with his discourse
in the evening, to a numerous congregation, when he was
compelled to desist from a sudden and general movement
and rising among his audience. He requested them to
preserve their presence of mir•.d and remain seated, or
alarming accidents might occur. Several persons rushed
into the chapel and cried out "Fire! fire!—there is a fire
just opposite the chapel—save yourselves!" The rush
to the doors was then general, but fortunately, beyond
the terror occasioned, nothing serious happened.
In a few minutia the atmosphere was illuminated with
the outhursting of a sheet of flame from an extended
range of buildings immediately opposite the chapel, and,
being thatched, they burned with great rapidity and fury.
It was with difficulty that Mr. Wallace and his cone
gregation could get out of their place of worship. In
halt an hour the conflagration was tremendous. The
wind blowing from the south saved the Royal Oak Inn
and stables, but several houses and an extensive range
of premises were destroyed.
An alarm of fire was given at Bridport Church during
the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Templar, and the rush was
instant and most serious; no lives were lost, but the
terror was indescribable.

The fire was, no doubt, the act of some miscreant,who
took advantage of the people being at their respective
plActs of worship to perpetrate his heartless villany.
The same premises were attempted to be set on fire at 11
o'clock at night, about three weeks ago, but through the:
screams' bed-room at the Royal OA being full of smoke
the diabolical attempt was frustrated.
A rigid inquiry i=l be at once instituted, and it
is sincerely hoped that the culprit will be detected and
brought to justice.
A young man fell, during the fire, from a wall, and
sustained much internal injury.
