ANOTHER ACCOVNT.

fi We have had the rno4t dreadful fire here ever
known. Seventeen very large warehouses; quite
full of rum,- sugar, eaiice, and- grail), --burnt to the
tround. The loss is. estimated at".B66,o63l.—rather
tearer a million than under. 'MeV were,
Vraneies houses, near George's Dock."

ANOTIIFIt ACCOUNT.

" A dreadful catastrophe has taken place her,?.,
evhich has:ohm-tided all kind of busioess to-day.
That noble pile, called Francis' Warehouse, on
CToree, of 13 stories high, and several contiguous
warehouses, are, with all their contents of. West
India produce and grain, completely destroyed.--
They wete loft; and a loss has occurred to the
town ot a Million of money in value, about two_
thirds of which amount is•supposed to be insured.
'The accident was occasioned by the falling of. a
=ilu4.-of a candle alliong Shavings in a porter vault.
The fire broke out at midnight, and raged
4ntil'noon this day."
The aboVe are tile first, and, no dotibt, hasty ac-
Qounts Of :this unfortunate accident. One I,ettcr
reduces- the loss to tioo,aool. ; and we. trust that,
•klpotinve;tigation, it will turn out less than is aP-
Prehended.

A very anions discovery has lately been tn:ttle 'n
the'Cathedral. of Bristol: some workmeU einplos'ed
in making riecessaty reparations in the Church,. Op.
removing the stones near the entrance of the Choir,
• came upon the vaulted roof of the Burying-place
of the Founder, RA. Fitzharding;• tl Dean, With
an attention which does him ,:greaT honour, pre-
vented any further violation of this Sandoary of
the Dead, and ordered the whole to be closed up
immediately. On throwing in the rubbish, they
found an old Brass plate, which by the holes at the
four corners, appears to have been fastened to the top
or the Vault or to some other place ;
of no value, they were going. to throw. it in with /
the loose earth, but Mr.. Moss the Se.tifti,,lrapren-.,
ing to pass at the time, they shewed it to him,
.who,
On a near inspection, discovered something like let-
ters, though in some parts obliterated by age or
accident he took it immediately to the Dean
who was in another part of the Church, and he being
a learned Antiquary, soon made out the following
lines. The original Plate is deposited in the
Chapter-house, and is daily -visited by the curious.
The inscription is in the old Gothic letter,
vVttr.N the Sea shall cease to fiowe,
Up to the IValles of faire Brigstowe,
Yet the Waters be up to the brim,
• So that every Ship shall swim;
Then ne place shall flourish moe,
Then the Town of faireßrigstowe.

But when bickerings tonne so high,
That nothing can be done forthy ;
When Men of eyelid) degree,
Have no res peel for Seignoti,::
When Wecmen be dight in swiche manitre,
That you would think them Men b'y their geere;
When Preestis marry and revel in halls,
And LeITTI3.IIS sit in the Prebends' stalls.
Whei; Chtuvhes goods be bought and-sold, .
And an Eagle of brass be turned to gold ;
Come that time, when come it may, •
£rigstowe City shall rue the day !

On the 3,1 of August the %inns of Marriage
between ,a NiThometan anti a Protestant woman
were proclaimed here in the German Calvinist
Church. The Mahometan engaged in the contract
to renounce polygamy, And to let all the children of
this marriage be baptized.

It is greatly to be regretted, that there is no law
• to punish those atrocious criminals, who by means
of deep.laid artifices, rob. parents of theirichildren.
There are few crimes of a deeper die, or where.the
injury inflided is greater or More acute. Children
have been generally hitherto stolen for the sake of
their clothes, but a recent trial, added to a cireum.
.stance which lately occurred, sufficiently proves
that there are those in existenee, who will artfully
procure children, regardless of the pangs whiCh must
he enduredby the parents on discovering their loss,
. merely to suit their own fraudulent purpeseseby
passing them afterwards as their own. 'these per.
sons the law will not reach, as it is only for fe10..:
oiously stealing the child's clothes, or receiving
such property, knowing it to be stolen, that they
can at present be in any way punished.
The value of the goods stolen from Mr. PURSE'S
.sa!o.reotn, in Cloak.lane, on Wednesday night,
amounts to 20001. 'Plate, diamonds, watches, and
even pieces of linen, prepared to be sold by auelion
nextday, were carried away by the thieves, about
twelve o'clock at night in a hackney coach, which
they brought for the purpose, and which «c hope
will be discovered. It is supposed that one of the.
thieves concealed himself in a closet in 'the house in

4zd year of the reign of our Lord the-King,. of hig'

powder, and a fleaden bullo, shot one John Bretner,
then being in the. peace of .God; aid of our Lord.
the' King, to wit, at the Cape of Good Hope, be..
yond .Seas; Src. of which, on'. the same day, he
died, and that the other two Prisoners were present,
aiding, abetting, comforting, and maintaining .the
said Henry Ray; whereby they, the said. John
Bremer did —kilt - diiirMlrrder—that is to say, the
deceasedioas slpt in a,Lktrel; in which-Mr. Ray was
Principal, and the other two Prisoners Seconds.
They pleaded Not Guilty. •
They were informed they are to be tried on Tues-
day next, and then they withdrew.

John Allem was indiaed for stealing several
pieces of silver, the property of Mary Clerk. The
Prosecutrix is a widow, carrying-on the trade of a
watch case.maker, in Bunhill-tow. -Prisoner
was employed in the shopond some sCspicion being
entertained of his having pilfered souse pieces, of
silver out of the shop, some of them, were inarkqd,
and he afterwards collie into the shop, -about nine
o'clock in the morning, his usual hour ; he pre-
tended to want to go out about • ten; he Was fol-
lowed; aid' told' he hail robbed the shop :—he at first',
denied ir, but afterwards, being about to be search.'
ed,, he rook out a piece of silver fromlth pocker;
and said that was all he had—some more sthien
pieces, however, were found upon' him..—Gao.y.

IP7l4hm Harris', a young lad in the same shop,
who had been there about two months UNn liking,
in order to become an apprentice, ..was,conviCted of
the same Offence : he had concealed several bits of
silver wire in the privy.
'The Learned Judge observed, that as neither of
these piecis of silver .was of 'inure value than t zd.
perhaps-it would be too much to find the -Prisoner
guilty of. any thingbtit Petty Larceny.---As nobod.y'
siitw- him take ,the got ds out of the shop, attnough
from the circurhstances;; it was clear he took theist.
all, yet the:probability:was, that they were piL
fersed a single piece at, a: time, and, a number of
Petty Larcenies could not be put together to make
ihem up into a Grand . Larceny 'so that if
only one was taken at a time, and • one was not of
more value than.42.d. the. verdk would he piity
of stealing to the valde of I2d. which the Jury
found accordingly, and' recommended. the Prisoner
to Mercy'on account of his youth.
The Prosecutrix begged the Court would shew
lenity to the Prisoner.

The CiJurt said, that the recommendation should
be attended•to. '

yo:cinnqb 21/PCartbsv, a ,girl v 8 years of age, was
cried. for. the wilful murder of her bastard female
child, which' thelndiamen! stated to' lutve been, by
the prov-idenCe of God, born alive;

Mr. KNowt,es Opened the Case on the part of
:he Prosecution, in the,Wurse of which he oberved
that the questions the jury would' have to :decide
were principally two—First, whether the child--of
which the Prisoner was was born olisi!e,
for if born dead, it.cotild not be, murdered as. stated
in this' indielinent.—Secondiy, if born alive, Who_
titer the child which was found, and said tor.;,iie-the
child of the Prisoner, was her child,?
gr. Barrett, an Apothecary and Man-midwife,
at Limehouse,
,swore, that on Tuesday the. z•rth of
August, he saw a female inbot, and he ex,
amitied•it to endeavour to ascertain whether, it was
-born dead: or alive. He had formed. his opinion,
' then, and he was of the same opinion how, which
was,, that the child.was born alive. •:1-le proceeded
to say, "J have every reawn to believe row that
the feinale child which I saw and exaMined.then,
was bornalive, and had been horn about ten or
twelve hours before I saw it, and had been in water
about five hours.-On the ThUrsday following, which
was the..z6th;' in consequence of what,was said to
me by the' Paril;hofE Cers., I. went to the hOtise
where the Prisoner lived with her ,thother.; Lsaw
the mother, and I told her,-in the Prisoner's bear-
ing, there was a. suspicion that one of her daughters
had been delivered of a child, and asked her where
the child was ?? The mother said in an Irish:way,
no such thing, or something of that sort: I desired
to examine her daughter, to convince the Officers of
the Parish:that she had not ; I went up Stai"rs With
the girl, but she hesitated, a 4 afte.rwaids refused
to let 'ine examine her, upon which I went down ;
'stairs again, but afterwards I did , examine her ;
upon which I had every, reason to believe-that she
had been delivered of
.a child, but to state
tong is out of my power ; I can only'say it. was
recently ; I asked her where the child was.? The
mother made ansmer,- she had miscarried about a
week. I asked her again where the child was
br.it she made no answer ; upon which she was taken
up. I asked her the sex ? She said it was a boy ;
but afterwards she said she did' .not know what it
was ; I•ncver entertained any doubt that the child
I saw and examined was born alive."

Mr. Baron HOTHANI.—ti It is my duty to warn
ydu, Sir, that you have sworn before the Coroner,
yoa thought it was /impossible for you, or any'
profession-al Man 'to say whether :that child was
born alive or not." . •

The Witness explaided by saying he meant no
more by that than to say; as the body was not
opened, it was impossible to say with certainty.
whether the child was born wive or not ; but, he
had every reason to believe,- at that time, and be
was of •the same opinion now, that the child was
born alive.

Mr. Baron HornA-Nt.--."I beg to understand be.
fore you go what it is you believe now, be-
cause I have In my hand,- your exaniination befOre
the Coroner; in which you swore it was impos-,
sible for any man to say whether the child'•was:
-born aliVe,—yon do nor now mean-to swear that the
child was born alive, but it is your opinion only;
colleicied from the circumstances ?"

A. Yes, my. Lord, that is my opinion certainly.

:utor, the capital part of the charge, that of steal.
in privately from the person, was clearly done
sway, as he stated he had felt her hands about his
person before the watch was taken. With respell
to the general consideration of the case, the Jury
would decide from-a review of the evidence.

The Jury had very little hesitation iwacquittlng
the Prisoner.

Sarah Powell, a very young girl, was found
guilty 91 stealing a large quantity of alnico, and
other articles, the property of Mr. James Little, a
linen.draper, with whom it appeared she had lived
as servant.

William 4114-4 was indiaed for stealing, at
Staines, on the 7th of March last, a petticoat, value
rzs. the property of William Le'wii, Esq. .
_ It appeared in the course of the evidence, that
the Prosecutor, Mr. Lewis, removed, in March
last, from North Badgely, in Hampshire, to Ham-
mersmith, a great part of his household goads,
chests with wearing apparel, &c. were put into
a travelling waggon, in order to be removed
to his new place of residence.. Upon.the road, near
Alton, the waggon was met by the Prisoner and
another man, wilt) agreed with the waggoner for a
ride to a certain distance on the London road :
they accordingly got in,- and went with the wag_
gam as far as Staines—' they occasionally got out
4nd walked, as suited their Convenience"; They
e.tuitted the waggon at Staines,--andv.shotily after
st was discovered that one of the chests had been

broken open, and a variety of thine. taken Out,'
. .
particularly a japanned case which contained Mrs.
Lewis's jewels and other articles or very consider-
able value : among other things taken was a mus-
linet petticoat. soon 'after, the Prisoner was ap-
prehended on suspicion of committing The robbery;
but. before his examinations by the Magistrates
were concluded, be found means to cs6ape-, A man
of the name ofknight was taken up about. the same
time. on a similar suspicion, but he was discharged.
the zgth of July, it appegred that the Pri-
soner, was apprehended a second time;:. at his apart_
dents in a Court near Bishopsgate-street. One of
the first things observed by the Officers on entering,
was a piece of fine muslinet, in use as a. window.
curtain. They . immediately took possession of it:
The Prisoner was searched, and in a:pocket-book
round on him, was discovered a duplicate, which was,
for a piece of muslinet, which it was soon found had
been pawned by the Prisoner's wife, and on com-
paring this piece and that used as a window cur-
tain,-,they were found to hive been originally one
piece, and on being produced in Coutt, were
scribed by Mrs. Lewis to have been the whole or
the greater part of the petticoat which had been
stolen.

The Prisoner told a long story in his defence,
admitted that he had been in the waggon as far as
Staines, but denied knowing any thing whatever of
the, robbery. .He said the piece of muslinet had
been bought twelye months ago by his wife. Of
this fact, howeyer, he adduced no proof, 'and no
.witnesses appeared in his behalf. The Jury had
little besitationid ending him Guihj.
