A dreadful fire broke out list night in the pi'e-
-Mises of a goid-heater, in Red Lion-street, Hol-
born ; he. had hut lately settled in that neighbonr-
hood, and teesould Tent leatl 16411,1111e. Ihe tire
Was first di-covered a little before 12 o'clOrk, from
which time it raged with great violence for ahme
an hour before any assistanCe could be procured.
The oigin.es Welt: at leng:11 attracted,•
• and every:
exertion was made, but they came only in t:ine to
prevent the spreading of the conflagration. The
house in tvbien it "tirst appeared was redhn(ed'to a
mere 'shell. The engines had collected in such
numbers at about half-past two, as to get the fire
under completely, and by that means to quiet the
apprehensions of the whole neighbourhood, tvhich
were till then alarming. In the confused and la-
mentable scene that presented itself on this oc-
casion, the most distressing object was a woman,
who ran thiough the crowd in a state of distrac-
tion, lamenting the loss of her child, which she
-supposed to have perished in the flames.

former place, whence sire sailed on the Ft iday pre-
ceding, she struck on a sand about three or t'uttx
miles from Yarmouth : such was the violence of.
the shock, that the sternpost and rudder were al-
most immediately carried away. - The situation
of.the passengers and crew was alarming, and
notwithstanding their united drops at the, ppmp,
and bailing with hue.kets, the Water was raprrn
gaining on their exertions. Death appearedine-
vitable, as from their distance from the shore,
and theimpossibility of making their state kqow-tr,
no relief could be expected. At this critical
tare One of the passengers, Who had been in the
Navy, sent a lad to the mast head with an ensign
to hoist, with the union downwards, as their last
resort. The vessel in the mean time swung oh
the sand into deep water, and they were now, if
possible, inure perilously situated than before.—
A lioat, providentially 'attracted by the en,-
sign (it was a 'noon-light night,) discovered
the unfortunate sufferers, and by' great exertions •
succeeded in resetting them from a watery grave.
The passengers consisted of twenty persons (six
women), and with the creWliad not left the ves-
sel any considerable time when she sunk gradually
by the stern, and was shortly out of sight. The
vessel was laden with great quantities of various
articles, besides the paisengers' luggage, nearly
the whole of which was lost. At the time the
vessel struck the Master was in bed, and left the
entire charge to the Matera.nd it semis he endea-
voured to pass Within the Sand when he.ought to
ha.ve kept:on-the outside. The vessel and 'cargo,
it is'estimated, weYe worth between tikie awl six
