THERE are but few fresh arrivals of English and
Foreign Wheat to-day ; there being a demand, and
short of prime Samples, it chiefly fetched an ad_
Vance of zs. per quarter; the supply of Barley
is very short, and that article is dearer ; Malt is
Plentiful, and with little alteration, as are ?ease and
1611 s ; there are many Buyers of Oats at Marker,
Which causes the sae at rather higher prices; Flour
also has a more ready sale.

The arrengcments r-?s;)ecain,,- the affairs of Drury

WILITFIELD, the aaor, does,nor, it seems, re-
sume his situation on Covent Garden boards this
season. We regret that any difference should have
arisen between him and the Manager, as he is a use_
fulfcrformer, and a respectable man.

Mr. COLEMAN'S determination to commence his
season on the day allowed by his License, though
it may deprive him of several of the London Per_
formers, will, perh4ps, not be eventually injurious
to him; for we have good reason for believing that
be might make up an excellent Company among
Country Performers, who are much better calcu-
lated to grace a London Theatre than many who
have contrived to obtain a reputation far above
their proper deserts.
Mrs. GLOVER, late of Covent Garden Theatre,
Was, on Thursday last, brought to.bed of a daugh-
ter. This Lady, it is said, is likely to be engaged
at Drury Lane Theatre.
As BONAPARTE is anxious tl! render PlAlirlltni
a part of military exercise in his Army, he cannot
do better than engage the Lady who has shewn hets
self so expert in this art at Ramsgate. By way of
tounter-part to his Ltgion of Honour, he might,
With her assistance, be able to form an Amazonian
Corps, under the title of the Marine Buffs.
On Tuesday last was married at Topsham
Church, near Exeter, by the Rev. JAMES CAR-
ItINCTON, the Honourable SAMUEL MITCHELL,
President of the Council of Grenada, to Miss MARY
PLOLTD, Sister of THOMAS FLOUD, Esq. Mayor
°f Exeter.

The Leeds True Briton coach to the Aogel..inn,
Angel_streer, was on Saturday morning overturned
coining through Dunstable ; by which accident the
guard of the coach had both his legs broken, and
two passengers were maimed in a' dreadful manner.
We are sorry to hear that the Edinburgh Mail
Coach from London, on Friday night was over-
turned at Ware, by one of the horics staging, and
running the coach too near the side of the road; by
19hich. accident the driver was thrown underneath
the coach ; whiCh so injured him that he is since
dead,. One pass:tnger was slightly hurt.

bitEADFUL FlRE.—Last night, at•-inut eight'
o'clock, a-moit tremendous fire broke out a few
doors above Warwick-court, High Holborn. It has
not been as yet precisely ascertained whether the ac-
cident happened in Mr. Hodsel, music-seller's, back
kitchen, or in Steele's livery stables, whiCh are at
the back of Warwick-coot r, immediately behind Mr.
liodsel's house. Mr.Hodsel and his family were from.
11°-rite ; but there had been a large company diving
with a.Gentleman and his wife, who inhabited the first
flOor. The company was to stop supper, and the
:ervant and her mother were going to the back
kitchen, in order to make the necessary arrange_
'tents, when upon opening the door, a dreadful vo.
lunte of flame and smoke prevented their entrance ;
r 0 arrest its career was impossible, as every instant,
by the air rushing in, it gained greater force, and
such was the rapidity of its progress, that before the
alarm could he given to the-company above, it had
reached the staircase, and threatened to cut off all
retreat by that passage. The company, however,
With a considerable degree of intrepidity, rushed
o c'wo stairs and happily escaped ; but. such was their
"ostentation, that the Ladies left their cloaks,
4" the Gentlemen their hats behind them, and
the only articles saved were a few silver table and
tea-poons, and a punch-ladle. The fire increased
every moment, and almost immediately after the
,
i°lllPany got out the whole house was in a blaze.
t most unluckily communicated to the adjoining
tenement, possessed by a fruiterer, and we are sorry
to add, that no property of Mr. Hodsel was saved, and
per little belonging. to his next door neighbour.
Steele's livery stables are also destroyed, and one
Poor horse has fallen a viuim to the flames. An
flour almost elapsed before any of the engines ar-
rived,and even when they did come they were unable
to aft, owing to scarcity of water. By this time
The roofs of the houses had fallen in, and immense
cOlumns of flame,' smoke, and pieces of burning wood
Were flying in every direCtion. Water was at length
troeured, and as every attempt to extinguish the
fire was now useless, the firemen confined their efforts
to prevent it from spreading. Accordingly the
Walls of the adjoining houses, and those on the oppo-
ite side of the street, were plentifully watered. By
eleven o'clock the fire had spent its rage, and was
entirely within the wails. The loss sustained must
b
e 'considerable, but we believe the premises were
lLsured. The crowd collet-led was immense, and
I
pickpockets were as active as ever, notwith.
b",ariding the vigilance of a strong posse of Consta-
es who attended ,on the occasion. We have not
heard that any lives were lost.
tltPußLtc-dFFic,t, HATTON-GARDEN.---SOMe of
Officers, by authority of a warrant, went to the
Sell of ba
e ter in the vicinity of Islingtonl for
wial.ing b a
read- short of weight ; in the weighing of
tell they divided the deficient loaves in a pile.
the baker began to be turbulent, and thinking to
defeat the ends of justice, tore the loaves asunder,
:41, his more weigh tyl,read, in order to confuse the
cvoidence of the Cfficers ; but upon close investiga-
il., " of the case, the Magistrate convieled the baker

auto;usCting the Officers in the execution of their
