Two large steamboats have been contracted for

Three vessels are arming at Amsterdam for Don Miguel,
manned by Dutch seamen, which will be placed under the
orders of Captain Elliott.

A little before midnight on Sunday last,
Mrs. Hobbs, the wife of Mr. Hobbs, fishmonger, of
Thornry, observed a light proceeding from a stack on the
premises of Mr. Dodman, which quick!), burst into a blaze,
and communicated to a cow hovel belonging to Mr. Om-
ham adjoining. Alarm was immediately given, and al-
though assistance was speedily rendered, it was not suffi •
ciently early to rescue a cow, and which, in consequence,
with the hovel and stacks, were entirely consumed. Nu-
merous individuals rendered prompt assistance, hundreds
of persons having in a short time arrived, and prevented
the further extension of the fire. Had there been a defi-
ciency of water, had the wind, which was blowing very
strongly from the west, been in a contrary direction, or
had the alarm been given later, it is impossible to say'
where the fire would have terminated ; it is probable the
whole coiner of the town, from eight to ten houses, with
stables, hovels, stacks, &c., would have been totally con-
sumed. The watchman, strange to say, was at least six
or seven minutes longer in ignorance of the fire than
several persons who had been asleep in bed. A young
man is in custody on suspicion of being the incendiary.—

On Monday evening a most horrible attempt
was made at Thirsk, in the North Riding of this county,
to murder a young man named John Rose, of Sheffield,
cabinet-maker. Rose is a native of Thirsk, and was on a
visit at his father's house during the Christ Mas festival.
On Monday last he went to the village of Sowerby, about
a quarter of a mile from Thirsk, to see hie former master,
Mr. Kirby. After tea, young Kirby and another man
accompanied him to the Golden Lion Inn, kept by Ann
Flower, to whom Rose bad paid his addresses during tba
time he worked at Sowerby. She had, however, during
his absence encouraged the addresses of another young
man, named Grainger. Whilst Rose and the young
woman were conversing together in a private room,
Grainger went in, and became very much irritated. He
then went into the drinking-room, and was there beard to
make use of threatening expressions towards Rose and
others. At 12 o'clock he left the house, and Rose de-
parted about an hour afterwards. On going from Sowerby
to Thirsk he ha'' to pass across two fields, called the
Flats. On his arriving near to those fields a gun or pistol
was fired at him, the contents of which entered his b.ck
between his shoulders ; 54 shots had gone through bis
braces alone. Rose was soon afterwards found almost
exhausted. Medical aid was procured, and be is still alive,
but in a very weak state. Grainger was immediately ap.
preheated, and was committed to York Castle to take his
trial at the next assizes. He is the son of a farmer, near
Thirsk.— Sheffield Iris.
