ALARMING FIRE.-(THIS DAY.)

About one o'clock this day, a fire broke out in Drury-
lane, which for a time threatened destruction to a great
portion of that dense neighbourhood. It commenced as
some said, in the rear of the premises of Mr. Pound,
coach lamp-manufacturer, No. 73, the corner of Long
Acre and Drury-lane, but according to others in the
rear of the adjoining premises of Mr. J. K. Walker,
feather-bed manufacturer and upholsterer, and for some
time it raged with great violence. It communicated also
to a portion of the Anodyne Necklice Warehouse, next
to Mr. Pounds, in Long-acre, and apprehensions were
entertained for the safety of Messrs. Waller and Son's
extensive premises and stock of carriages adjoining.
The carriages, &c., however, were quickly removed,
but we are happy to add that the speedy arrival of a
number of engines, and a quick supply of water, had the
effect of stopping the progress of the homes, and by about
halfpast two o'clock the fire was so far got under, that
there was no fear of its extending to other premises. The
house of Mr. Walker was almost gutted from top to bottom.
and considerable injury was done to that of Mr. Pound,
The whole extent of the damage we could not so soon
ascertain from the confusion naturally incident to so alarm-
ing an occurrence. We could not hear that any one
received any personal injury.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The express from Paris this morning says that a tele-
graphic dispatch from Bayonne announces that the insur-
gents had quitted the frontiers, in consequence of a con-
centrating movement in the direction of Tolosa, cawed
either by the march of Saarsfield, or by an attack on
Burgos by Merino, who has pushed his troops forward to
Pagna Marga. The reported insurrection in Galicia is
said to be confirmed. The French Funds come 74f. 95c.

It was reported at Bayonne that General Harispe was
going to commence operations. The Indicateur de Bor-
deaux also states that an intervention is about to take
place in the affairs of Spain, and that General Harispe has
given notice of it to General Castagnon ; but it was not
known whether the intervention would take place by sea or
land.

Hobart Town papers to the 10th, and Launceston to
the 12th July, have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-hou,e.

The Launceston papers state that the whale fishery on
that coast this season was fl,turishing.
The Hobart Town papers state that the numerous etni-
grants which arrived by the last two or three ships are
now crowding the streets. Several have met with en-
gagements, but the great majority are still without em-
ployment, and, from their destitute condition, will be soon
real objects of charity.
