LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET,JAN.I4.'"
We have had a good supply of both Beef and Mutter
which met ready sale at our last quotations, Beef, 51d'
to 64d. ; Mutton, 6d. to 64d.
In consequence of the quantity of rain whia
fell on Tuesday last, the town of Caine was flooded. It
supposed the water has not been so high since the manse
able flood of Nov. 1725. Many of the inhabitants ball
suffered in their property.—Exeter Alfred.
On Thursday morning, , little before $l5
"o'clock, a three-story tenement, at the foot of St. Mirreo
street, Paisley, was discovered to be on fire. The toWn
engines were brought to the spot with the greatest prowl'
titute, and a party of the 42d Highlanders, stationed there
likewise arrived with the fire-engine belonging to the ger'
rison. Here an occurrence of a novel and interesting Os
cure took place. The house on fire was a back
building
the gable of which stood on the side of the river Cart, en'
being otherwise closely surrounded with houses, the oul"
apparent means of making the engines act en it, wl
by leading the pipes through two narrow closes.
Officers commanding the party of the 42d, set
ing the disadvantages under which the firetot
laboured, ordered their party, with their engio
into the river. Owing to the banks being want*
in, this could only he effected by taking it up algo!,
200 yards to the foot of Marshall's Lane, and running
down the bed of the river from that spot • aid in doit4
this, although the men were middle deep, they carried tbei'
purpose into effect, and remained in the middle of the river
working the engine for nearly two hours, by which tip
the fire was got under, after destroying every thing cool'
bustible about the tenement in which it originated.--#

We need not say how entirely we agree with the philce

i Cowtx, late farmer at Ames, near that place.—The late
Mr. Jortx Cowl', among many anecdotes received fro
his grandfather regarding the battle of Sheriffmuir, used 1°
take much delight in relating the following :—The day aftef
this memorable event, Mr. CowiE's grandfather had the
curiosity to pay a visit to the field of battle. Among the
numerous relics of war with which the plain was strewed, tbc
only thing that attracted young Cowles fancy, as worthy °f

side the pale and lifeless body of its former youthful posses'

however, the trepidation of Cowie, he told hint to fear so'

a pistol from his belt with the other, he coolly awaited the
onset. The Highlanders came up, Sword in hand. Ilse

—the first blow from the dragoon literally clove his hes",
