ALARMING FlRE—Yesterday morning a fire
broke out on the premises of Mrs. Shaughnessy, of No,
33, Shoemakers-row, Blackfriars, which at one time
threatened serious • consequences. The business carried
on was that of a dealer in ladies' wardrobes, but the
upper part was occupied by several families. At twelve
o'clock the flames burst from the shop with great violence
and the inmates were soon noticed at the windows im-
ploring assistance. • The ladders were brought from the
station in Printing-house-square, and through their ex-
ertions all were safely got out, though one who had gone
to bed tipsy, was with very great difficulty aroused. The
engines soon after arrived, and in half an hour succeeded
in extinguishing the fire.
WINDSOR, SEPT. I.—An accident of an alarm-
ing nature tool, place to-day in the middle and lower ward
of the Castle. A party had just alighted from an open
carriage, and, the horses' heads turned towards the' town,
When they became restive, and kicked and plunged fright-
fully in the narrow part of the entrance by the Norman
giaite; at last setting off at full speed, the carriage came
in contact with a projecting• wall which divides the
o.in the lower ward, and the poll, bar, and
tra • ces the

turned earria,c and'lretnirsue? their mad career down

to the ground. For a few seconds ietr:-
-were both killed, so violent was the shock ;
nor Ts
however, not.so :nuch hurt as was expected, the
damage done to the carriage so great as the rapid pace,
the continuous turning of the road, and the many oh_
structions-liable to be met with in it, would lead us to
conclude. IMOF,t fortunately the road was free from par-
ties, and no frither accident occurred.
