YESTRRDAY evening, a few minutes before right
o'clock, a fire broke out at Mr. Bacon's lodging.
!mist.. No. 5, S itirliampton.street, Strand, which
raged for some time with great violence.. The second
;mil attic stories of that house, as well as the roof of
N 0.6, were consumed before the flames could tie
got under. Nearly twenty Minutes elapsed between
the discovery 0 the fire and the arrival of the en.
gives ; some time was lost before water could be pro.
cured ; during this period the flames raged with great
fury, and the blaze issuing from them was so
vivid as to spread light in the Strand a considerable
distance on both sides of the street. Whorl water
was proeured, the engines were played with con.
;tarn and unabating vigour until the fire was got.
ten under about ten o'clock. It broke out in the
second story, whence it spread rapidly to the
whole of the premises which suffered. Some
of the proper' y and furniture were ,savcd, but
she loss sustained must have been considerable. On
the first appearance of the flames, the drums of the
Westminster, Ptince of Wm.es's, and;Prince

Corps assembled in great numbers, very much to
their credit, without• sty delay. Many of the

Strand, • each side of SouthamOon:sfreer; and
also at the top of the street, to p'res'ent the 'crowd
from int eirtyrinethe exertions of the firemen, or
the light.fingered 'kentry from making too free with
any part of the property .exposed. The_ engines
played without intermissi,n and -wi.th teed until
about ten o'clock. when the tioviiwere cffretually
got under.. The firemen were uncommonly acitve,..
Some of them got upon the .neighb mring houses:

the most beautiful tomp Pail we have ever wit.

gratifying to an immense concourse of spedators,
who had assembled from all parts of the surrounding •
country.

went through their different manreuvres, met with
the entire approbation of the General, who deserved.

?male beauty to the ground, which was crowded
with speitators from the surrounding country.
On Saturday and Tuesday two bodies of French
prisoners were marched into Exeter, from Plymouth,
on their way to Stapleton prison, near Bristol. .
A short time ago certain Gentlemen of fortune
made a party by sea from Scarborough to Whitby,
taking sketches of the coast as they proceeded. On
their return, meeting with an adverse wind, they
landed at Robin Hood's Bay, and began to take
views of the romantic place, which being observed
by the Sea. Fencibles there, with a laudable degree
of zeal, they were by them taken into custody as
Ties, and intelligence of their capture sent to the
Commanding Officer at Whitby, who, on inquiry,
finding they were Gentlemen of respe4ability, and
were making drawings for their own *amusement,
33Ve orders for their release, with due commenda.
tions to the Feneibles for their zeal and vigilance.

he made his entry, amid the loud shouts of a prod!.

who carried him in triumph to the Imperial Hotel.
The preparations for the reception of their Ma-

visited the port, and was graciously pleased to go

o'clock in-the evening their Majesties went down to
the port, which made the most magnificent appearance
from the immense number of lamps and lights, which,
indeed, were so numerous, that notwithstanding the
prodigious influx of persons employed, they emild
