DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

On Thusday evening a most destructive fire broke out
in the extensive premises of Messrs. Powell and Brown,
oil and pickle merchants, Laurence Pountney-lane. At
about halfpast twelve o'clock smoke was seen to issue from
the premises, and a number of poor persons who inhabit
small tenements at the rear of them, expressed a wish to move
their things, being apprehensive that a fire was about to break
out. However their fears were quieted, by being assured
that there was no danger. At five o'clock immense volumes
of smoke issued from the premises, which were succeeded
by one of the largest bodies of flame in the recollection of
the oldest fireman. At six o'clock the raging element was
at its height, and threatened the destruction of the whole
neighbourhood. The window, frames of the houses opposite
the lane were burned, and the firemen were obliged to play
upon them for a considerable time, it being supposed at one
period that they must have shared the same fate as the
premises, which were then one mass of fire. The property
destroyed is said to amount to between 20,0001. and
30,000/. The firm was insured in the Atlas and Globe
offices. There were as many as twenty engines playing
upon the premises at one time, without producing any ap-
parent effect on the flames. The proprietors had but just
finished their pickling for the season ; and it is said that the
fire originated in consequence of the carlessness of some of
the workmen in the establishment, whose duty it was to
attend to some part of the pickling process. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon the firemen of the different
offices, who, regardless of their own safety, engaged the de-
vasting enemy in the most prompt and vigorous manner ;
and upon the City police, who were most active in render-
ing every assistance in their power to the firemen, and in
keeping the avenues clear, so that the engines might have
full play. The Marshal sent for a party of military from
the Tower, who speedily arrived. The fire was not got
under until after nine o'clock. The churchwardens of the
parish granted the use of the church-yard to the poor peo-
ple, to put in whatever portion of their furniture they were
eiAled to save.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning with the exception of
the French Mail, express from Paris, and the New York
papers to the 17th. The contents of the above arrivals
will be seen in another part of the paper.
From Madrid we have no later dates than previously re-
ceived of the 30th ult., which is rather extraordinary, and
which we attribute to the Carlists having again possession
of the main road to Bayonne. The information from the
theatre of war in Spain is insignificant, and we do not expect
any movements or fighting until General Mina commences
his operations.

THE FUNDS.

The deficiency or decrease of the Quarter's Revenue of
330,0641., has not caused much excitement in the City,
owing to the large amount of taxes being taken off; nor has
it bad any effect on the Funds.
Consols opened at 90i for the Account, since which
they have been done at 90i ; Spanish, nominally, 571 58 ;
Portuguese, 81i 2.
As yet we do not hear of any express from Madrid, al-
though expected every hour.
A general opinion prevails, that Colonel Wyld will pro-
ceed to Don Carlos's head-quarters, to offer him some sort
of terms to prevent the further effusion of blood.
It is confidently stated on 'Change, that letters are in
town, of the Ist of October, from Madrid ; and their con-
tents arc of a more favourable nature respecting the Cotes
Bonds.

HALF-PAST ONE.

(From the New York Papers received this morning.)
The Secretary of the Treasury has given notice that the
five million loan of 1821 will be paid off on the 2d January
nest.

To the present hour we do not hear of any express from
Madrid, which causes the Spanish Stock to be heavy at 57
to 571 ; Portuguese, 81,i 82.
Consols have been during the morning at 908 to 91 for
the account.

THREE 0' CL 0 CA.

Next Monday being a holiday with Hebrews (the
White Fast), few of them w;11 make their appearance in
the commercial world.
Consols for the Account, 908 91.

It is our duty this day to announce the death of the
Rev. James Stanier Clarke, LL. D., Rector of Preston-cum-
Hove, and a Canon of Windsor. Dr. Clarke, who died on
the Marine Parade on Saturday last, was the brother of the
celebrated traveller, and was himself distinguished for his
literary attainments. He was for many years the librarian at
Carlton House, and was honoured by the intimate friendship
and countenance of our late most gracious King.—Brighton
Gazette.

At the Revising Barristers' Court at Colchester the
claim of a voter was objected to on the ground that he had
been convicted of receiving stolen goods. The answer to this
objection was that the voter had received a free pardon from
his Majesty which reinstated him in his rights. The Barrister
(Mr. Chambers) decided in favour of the claim. In the
borough of Sudbury the claim of a guard of a coach was ob-
jected to on the ground of non-residence, but as it appeared he
slept alternate nights in the borough his claim was admitted.

UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW.—At the Petty
Sessions at Mistley, Essex, a man was charged with stealing
a dog_; and the evidence seemed very conclusive. An objec-
tion, however, was raised on the part of the prisoner, that the
dog was a bitch, which the Bench held to be fatal, and the
prisoner was discharged.—Bury Post.

LYNN, OCT. 6.--On Thursday last, at a full meet-
ing of the Commissioners of Navigation under the Eau Brink
Acts, held at the Guildhall in this town, George Edwards,
Esq., civil engineer, of Lowestoft, was unanimously appointed
engineer to the Commissioners in the place of the late Thos.
Telford, Esq.—Cambridge Chronicle.

WATERFORD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The
members of this Society dined at Cummins's Hotel, Water-
ford, on Monday evening last ; Viscount Ebrington in the
chair. Amongst the company present, we noticed Messrs. H.
Winston Barron, M. P., William Christmas, M. P., Patrick
Power (Bellevue), Alexander Sherlock, Major and Captain
Snow, and, in fact, all the principal landed proprietors of the
city and neighbourhood. After a few toasts, Mr. Roberts read
a long and interesting report of the proceedings of the society
for the last year.

On the evening of Thursday, an accident of a most
lamentable description occurred near Mrs. Barker's academy,
between the towns of Braintree and Bocking, Essex. Mr.
Stacey, a young man 21 years of age, of respectable connec-
tions, about half-past eight, was walking in company with two
young women ; when closely engaged in conversation, a horse
was rode by some person at a most furious pace against Mr.
Stacey and his female companions, by which they were all
knocked down. Mr. Stacey had the base of his skull frac-
tured, which caused immediate death. The two young women
were also considerably injured. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter against some person unknown."—
