The Flag Commands on home stations have been reduced to
three only, in consequence of a recent regulation of the Board
of Admiralty, 'by which the command of the Leith station is
given to tha Commander.in-C'hief at the Nnre, and the Cork
station will, after the period of Lord Colville's command is ex.
pired, merge into that of Plymouth. This alteration will create
a considerable advantage, in a pecuniary point, to both the
eastern and western stations. It is reported, that during the
last three years the Flag share Ow seizures made on the Cork
station has been upwards of 7,0001.

'nat.—About eleven o'clock on Sunday night,
the neighbourhood of North-place, Gray's-inn-lane, was alarm.
edhy the cries of " Fire !" proceeding from the second floor
at No. til, in which a carpenter named llennison resided. The
family were out; there was a the in the stove, and a candle
lighted on the table. The lower part of the cupboaril was cram-
med with shavings and bits of wood, which the husband had
brought home
the floor about the fender, and it is supposed a spark from the
to light their fire. A few of the shavings lay on
fire communicated to the shavings and set them in a blaze.
The room.wits in flames in a-few seconds. A woman residing
in the room. over, alarnied.by the smell of fire, roused the
neighbourhood, and before any one came to her assistance she
exerted herself in extinguishing the fire, emptying all the water
she could procure on the flames, in which laudable pursuit she
had her face,

Several of the neighbours exerted themselves to check the pro.
gress.of the flames till the arrival of the fire-engines, when the
devouring element was subdued; but not before the floor, the
joists, and the whole of the furniture, were destrowed. The
preservation of the house and property is entirely owing to the
intrepidity of the female who first discovered the fire. The
woman who occupiell the room in which the tire broke out, had
only left it for a minute on an errand. She has lost all she
possessed.
