Yesterday the bridges were secured, and the
troops advanced, and occupied the Muchee Bawan
and Great Imambarra. Large bodies of the
enemy crossed the stone bridges an hour before
the attack was commenced by Sir J. Outram. The
resistance was slight compared with the previous

of armed and unarmed men are evacuating the

DESTRUCTION OF TETE EARL OF
MORAY'S ItiISIDIINCE BY FIRE.

(From the Caledonian Mercury, of April 7.)
It is our reel tncholy duty to announce the total de-
struction by fire of Donibristle House, the charming
oil residence of the Earl of Moray, and the ancient seat
of the Moray family, on the Firth of Forth. The fire
broke out between seven and eight o'clock yesterday
morning ; and by ten o'clock, such was the devouring
nature of the flames, the whole building was a mass of
ruins, nothing remaining save smouldering wood and
blackened walls. Hove the fire originated is not known.
Y were residing in the house
Nonattehe oftimteh: andfailthe servants who took charge
of the mansion lived in a building apart. Fires,
however, were eut on in it, almost every day.
and it is supposed that the conflagration originated in
some of the chinenies. It was first discovered breaking
through the rocf, and assistance not being immediately
to be had, it soon gained such power as to defy all efforts
to exticguish it. Fire-engines were obtained from Dun-
fermline, and one was shipped from Edinburgh. Bt fore
they at rived, however, the flames bad such a hold of the
building that they proud of no essential service. A
great number of p.erple from Inverkeithing, including
the Magistrates, were present at the earliest moment
to tender assistance. When the fire was first dis-
covered, Mr. Ted, farmer, Latham, with his servants,
hastened to the scene ; and, with the assistance of Mr.
Smith, forester, and the gardeners and other servants
on the estate, saved the whole library and a number of
valuable paintings (the Courts of Charles I. and IT., by
Leidy) from mine of the drawing-rooms. Most unfortu-
nately, however, the rare and priceless paintings in the
dining-room, including the family pereraiis, were lost,
with the exception of an original portrait of the Regent
Moray, amid one other saved by a slater named Young,
from laverlzeithing, and a man. named Mitchell, at the
risk of their lives, part of their clothes having been I
burnt t ff.

Donibristle, from the Fitth Of Forth, formed a pro-
minent object, and although by no means a fine house,
arcbiteciairally speaking, was one of those dwe'linga
so associated with the ancient history of Scoland,
as to make its destractioa a matter of regret to all wtw
have ever seel it. To the 'Moray family it is, in a cer:
taiu sense, irreparable. The house was once burned'
before by al. Earl of Handy, at the instigation, it is
supposed, of King Jatne., when the. "Bonnie Earl of
.Moray," of whom, the King was jecilans, was slain in
attempting ti esca;,e. From Messrs. Fullarion's "Ire
penal Gaz Ateer of Scotland," we take the following°
brief not'.:e of Donibri,tle

" The house OTDonibristle, a seat of the Earl of
M iraY, v. as fortntrly the residence of tie Abbot of
St. Comle, but it has since been grea ly enlarged and
i;oproved. anibrisle was, in 1592, the goalie of
the cruel murder of the Bonnie Earl, whose per-
sonal attracti,ni and accomplishments, it is alleged
by some leisturians, had impressed the heart of Anne of
Danmark, and t xcited the jealousy of her royal spouse.
