BRISTOL, Half past Eleven, Friday Evening
—At this moment a fire, which broke out either
in the Billiard-room or in Fuller's Printing-of-
fice, has nearly consumed the whole of the
South Arcade in the High-street, Alarket-place,
The houses in the street are in the greatest dau.
ger.—( Bristol Journal.)

Boots, made of red leather, are commonly worn
in the Ukraine; but to give a man a pair of red
boots, according to the saying of the Tartars, is,
to cut the skin round the upper part of the legs,
and then cause it to be torn off by the feet. This
species of torture the banditti are said to prac-
tise, as an act of revenge; in the same manner
that the American savages scalp the heads of
their enemies.
DARING ATTACK ON TIIE NORTH MAIL.—hI
passing through the woods near the seat of Sir
Hector Mackenzie, Bart., at Conon Side, the
North Mail was attacked by some persons at one
o'clock in the morning of Monday last. Two shots
were fired, supposed to he directed upon the guard
and driver; but both fortunately escaped unhurt.
The shot fell upon the body of the coach and
among the wheels, on which the horses set off
with great speed, and the fire was returned by
the guard upon two men whom he observed con.
cealed within the enclosure of the plantation. For
some weeks past there have been unpleasant re.
ports of assaults and robberies committed in vari-
ous parts of the country, and particularly in the
Black Isle. Hitherto they have been disregarded
as without foundation ; but now there is too much
cause to fear that our neighbourhood is infested
with a branch of some villainous gang, from
whose violence we have every right to call on
our police to protect us. The alarm that pre-
vails is so great, that many persons are deterred,
by the fear of robbery or murder, from travelling
, after nightfall.—(inverness Courier.)
