FIRE AT GUNNERSBURY HOUSE, ACTON, THE
LATE RESIDENCE OF THE BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. This
morning, about half-past three o'clock, the greatest alarm
prevailed in consequence of a fire breaking out at Gunners-
bury House, near Acton, and formerly the residence of the
late Baroness Rothschild, and now in the occupation of
Thomas Farmer, Esq. It appears that the fire was occasioned
from the warming-flues to the drawing-rooms, the heat of
which was communicated to some of the bond timber, which'
ignited. The magnificent drawing-rooms, containing arti-
cles of furniture, pictures, &c., were speedily in flames.
Miss Farmer, who slept above where the fire b oke out, and
was the only one of the family at home, was awoke by the
heat and smoke and gave an alarm, and was with some diffi-
culty rescued from her perilous situation, being nearly
suffocated. Two small parish engines were on the spot, but
did not materially assist in checking the flames, and infor-
mation was dispatched to the King-street, Regent-street,
Station, when Inspector Staples immediately repaired to the
spot vfithltwo engines, nd after some labour succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire. Th-, damage is very considerable, but
the extent has not yet been ascertained.
THE UNITED STATES.—MIB3 Davenport is still
enjoying a successful career in America. Her benefit on
Friday, Feb- 5.,n Boston was not only a full, but a packed
house, to its utmost capacity, although it was the eightieth
night she acted in that city ithin fourteen months, a thing
unprecedented by
any other star that has before visited
America. During the above period she has had sixteen
benefits, and on each occasion many were unable to obtain
admission.

SUDDEN DEATH Or MR. THOMAS RUSSELL, THE
COUNTY MAGlnfritaTE.—This unfortunate gentleman, who
was in his 66th year, had for the last few days complained
of an attack of diarrhoea. About three o'clock in the after-
noon of Monday he was proceeding down Little George-
street, Hampstead-road, on his way to the St. Pancras
Female Charity-school, to which institution he was a very-

muniticent subscriber, and an active member of the com-
mittee. On reaching a greengrocer's shop in Little George-
street., but a short distance from the school-house, he begged
permission of the owner to go to the closet, which was
granted. As he remained there a considerable time, the
owner of the place went to see what bad happened to him, (o:r.-.
