CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two persons named .2kP Gregor and Jones w ere charged
with passing bad coin. They were captured last night,
by police-constable, 405 N, after passing a quantity of
bad coin on numerous shopkeepers. When the male
prisoner, APGregor, 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 duwn. A large quantity of coppers and four-
Peony pieces were found on M‘Gregor, wh.ch he had
obtained as change for the bad sixpences.
la`Gregor said if he had a knife he would have stabbed
the constable who arrested them.—They were 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,
which had lain up fur the past three weeks, at the
North Strand, near the Patent-slip, for the purpose of
being pitched and otherwise repaired, preparatory to
taking in a fresh cargo, was discovered to be on fire.
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
loiszen-rnast, the rigging, and the sails, together with
the sides of the vessel, the appearance 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 alarm spread on every side,
and assistance poured in from every quarter, and
in less than twenty minutes after the first alarm,
thousands were on the spot. But, by this time, the
fire, which originated in the captain's cabin having
reached the bulk-head and main-holt, and communi-
cated
with the mizen-mast, imminent destruction
threatened the vessel, meanwhile the St. Michael's
Parochial engine arrived, but it appeared wholly
im-
Possible for a considerable time,toadjust it and get it
to work. The West of England engine shortly after
ived, and, under the conduct of Messrs. John
Fogarty and Robert Anglim, commenced playing on
the flames before the parochial engine was adjusted.
The 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
stightful scene, and was indefatigable in his
exertions. The St. Michael's engine had now corn-
inenced work most effectually too, plied by the pa-
rochial firemen and civilians. The Mayor, with a
large body of the police, was also in attendance, and
as most indefatigable in his exertions, also Sir R.
Franklin and Mr. Crips. Numerous tar-barrels and
lobeaux blazed on the quay to drect the operations.
The safety of the entire vessel, and, we may say, of
re others adjoining, was, in a great measure, owing
the cutting away of the mizen-mast, ordered by
r. G. Tramoereo, foreman at J. F. Russell's dock-
Yard. The engines worked incessantly for two hours,
and the vessel was obliged to be scuttled before the

THE KILMARNOCK SUICIDES.—The mystery which
bong 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
'ettuses which led to the commission of such a delibe-
rate 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
41Iusion 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
Sheriff for the exhumation of the bodies in the church-
Iltrd 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
4"omp-os.
ed,yet the traits of the visage were sufficiently
distinct to serve the Purpose of identification. Mr.
Lorton, however, could ns;',.. identify the female, whom
he
alleged to have never seen. The bodies, after this
inspection, were again consigned to their resting-place.
