l" tP.TISRR PktrilcuLins.—About tit ttrier t.
'six yesterday fire was discove..ed
the foot passedgeis in St. Paul's Chitreh-yard,
who knocked vlolently. .for a sconsidc4.able ainie,
but none of the family of Mr. 8100-s, in whose
premises it broke ;int,' were made to hear. At
length the door was forced, when the flames burst
out with snch fury, as to .prevent any one front
alarming the family up stairs, but which was at
length done by the ringing of the bells, and" cry-
ink out " fire, fire !" Mrs. BIGGsj with an in.!
fant in her arms, and a s.ervant-maidi got first out -
of the house as they had arisen from. thrir beil.---
So.rapid were the tiames.on this nufortunate oc
casion, t hat nq other person except a seritit, witlf
another of 'AIN. Bloc's's children, succeeded in get-
Ling out by. the floor I the. rest ,took to Ale' roof
of the house, and got away unhurt, among whoni.
was an elderly woman, wifo was attending di a
nurse on one of Mrs. BlGGs's lodgers, Whii, we.
bear, made her escape by. getting from one roof
to another. We have only. accounted for two out
of Mrs. BIGGS'S six child en, rhe eldestOlwifoin,
a son, was only nine years of age. ire wish vi,e
could have stated that they had all been saved;but the eldest son above-mentioned, and.bi4 sister'
between three and four years old, perished in the
flames ;_ nor was it in the- power of any one to
,prevent it : they lodged, it appears, in a room'
above their brothers, to which those who first
got into the house could not reach, and to which
the servants who escaped by. the roof durst not
venture ; indeed, the situation of this family -will
be better understood by stating, that, the fire was'
not discovered nntit a quarter. past six,- and the
house was down to the granthl before seven o'clock,
The two other children of Mrs. Blo9s escaped,•
no one can tell how, but; they happily did escape,
though one of them was not discovered until 11 -
o'clock yesterday morning, in St.
Grand. This, fire entirely consumed • the two'
houses above-mentioned, and tilinaged the top Of
the houSe f. 4 Mr. IlAtt to the right, and scorched,
a little the house of Mr.-DefttAxn; the optician, '
to the left. To.atici td,theinisfortune to Mr. and
Mrs. Blocs:, the former of whom is on a journey
on business, not a sixpence of their stock in_ trade
was insured. To the • credit of the inhabitants of
the neighbourhood, it onght to be inent ioneit 'that
the Ladies were all day yesterday sending in ar-
tides of dress' for the children ; and yesterday
ir w
.evening a meetinas '4lelf.l at the instigatiOn .
Messrs. PEARSAf;L:ByTLER, Date, KINDER,
D.1.114,ETT, six' of the principal inhabitaiitf4-
wheo it was resolved to bring forward a subserip-; •
tiou for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs:
:fandly, who have' not saved a farthing of their
.property,, either in -stock; furniture, or wearing
apparel. .
Another fire broke ont on Tuesday evening. in
thePremi-es of ALLEN and •Pst.i., druggists, in
AlderSgate-street, which, by the timely arrival Of
the eng,nies,-lwas got under, after doing COOSideT-..
Ale injury to the premises.

On opening _one of the graves -in St. Peter's
Church, in Chester, last week, the bOtly of a.
young Wolllqll, which had been hnried upwards of
80 years, was found quite perfect : her long
born tresses, and plcid,cotuntinance, prescuted
most interesting spectacle. WC presume some
antiseptic process must-linve been-had recourie to,
previous to interment, and which has preserved
the body for so great alength of tiinc.--(Chester
Paper.)
