CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two persons named IVPGreqor and Jones were charged
with passing bad coin. They were captured last night,
police-constable, 405 N, after passing a quantity of
bad coin on numerous shopkeepers. When the male
prisoner, M'Gregor, was arrested he swallowed some
bad money, and made so desperate a resistance that it
required the combined exertions of four constables to
take him to the station, several of whom he kicked and
knocked down. A large quantity of coppers and four-
Penny pieces were found on Al.'Gregor, which he had
obtained as change for the bad sixpences.
*Gregor said if he had &knif he vvould hve stabbed
the constable who arrested them.—e They we ea remanded.

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION-THE

BARQUE NINIAN.
(From the Limerick Reporter of Tuesday.)
Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, this
beautiful vessel, belonging to Mr. David Bannatyne,
North
had lain up for the past three weeks, at the
zlorth Strand, near the Patent-slip, for the purpose of
being pitched and otherwise repaired, prwaratory to
taking in a fresh cargo, was discovered to be on fire.
The alarm was instantly given and every assis-
tance that could be put in requisition was imme-
diately had. Before, however, any effective aid
could possibly be at hand, the devouring and
frightful element had gained the ascendant, the
flames having got ahead, and having attacked the
'mizzen-mast, the rigging, and the sails, together with
the sides of the vessel, the apFearance was awfully
sublime, exhibiting one scene of livid flame, both
terrific and appalling, threatening, as it was thought,
inevitable destruction to two vessels that lay quite
close. Meanwhile, the rearm spread on every side,
and assistance poured in from every quarter, and
in leas than twenty minutes after the first alarm,
thousands were nn the spot. But, by this time, the
fire) which originated in the captain's cabin having
reacbedtrie bulk-head and main-holt, and communi-
cated with the mizen-mast, imminent destruction
threatened the vessel, meanwhile the St. Michael's
lArochial engine arrived, but it appeared wholly im-
possible for a considerable time,to adjust it and get it
to work. The West of England engine shortly after
lrived, and, under the conduct of Messrs. John
hFogarty and Robert Anglim, commenced playing on
eflames before the parochial engine was adjusted.
engine was worked by most efficient hands,
relieved at intervals by the military under the com-
mand of Colonel Maunsel, who was quickly at the
"rightful scene, and was indefatigable in his
exertions. The St. Michael's engine hka now com-
Mevnced work most effectually too, plied by the pa-
lert hial firemen and civilians. The Mayor, with a
~,ge body of the police, was also in attendance, and
pras most indefatigable in his exertions, also Sir R.
fiaThn,ikiin and Mr. Crips. Numerous tar-barrels and

g around this melancholy affair is now partially re-
Moved, in so far as the identification of the unfortunate
individuals is concerned ; but nothing, as yet, has been
elicited that can afford the slightest insight into the
causes which led to the commission of such a delibe-
tate act of suicide. It is ascribed, by common re-
Port, to misfortune in business. This, however, is con-
tradicted by the statement of Mr. Horton, to whom
allusion is made in the concluding paragraph quoted
from the Kilmarnock Herald. As expected by that
Journal, he arrived in Kilmarnock on Friday, and
proceeded to Ayr to obtain a warrant from the
bheriff for the exhumation of the bodies in the church-
Yard of Kilmaurs, where they were interred by order of
the authorities. We understand that, on his represen-
tation, the Sheriff at once granted a warrant as re-
quested ; and the bodies were accordingly disinterred
next day. Although the face of the male was a little
decomposed, yet the traits of the visage were sufficiently
distinct to serve the purpose of identification. Mr.
he
llorton, however, could not identify the female, whom
alleged to have never seen. The bodies,- after this
insPection, were again consigned to their resting-place.
