heat was won by James. The third heat, rowed Ow I.)erif
second and third men from the previous heats, wits
won by Vans. The fourth and grand heat, which did go
take place till eight o'clock in the evening; excited
to
greatest attention, and attrceted crowds of persons °After,

an arduous struggle, Robinson (purple) won by twelve l',l;ht
length, Vans (green) coming in second, and James (1708

favourites on the turf; was not destined to win. The'

of the heats were good—superior to most of the forst

A SHIP ON FIRE OFF THE TOWER.-- yes._fe

She was laden with a cargo of tea, sugar, bales of c,nd for
and about thirty barrels of tar, and was to have sale it

they were rowing past in their galley, and upon their ;114 far

diately beneath was found in flames. Large quantitle;
of
water were thrown down amongst the cargo in the hope it§
stopping the fire, but without success, and so furious nerfro
ravages, that within an hour the ship was in fianlesbiliti
stem to stern, and there seemed not the slightest proba..ting
of any part of her being saved. Two powerful tt";of
engines of the brigade were soon brought alongside 1101-it ;la

Arrangements have been concluded with the parish
ties for the footway and carriage paving, both of whieu,..ido
be immediately commenced. The street will be 54 feet ;tee
in clear of the houses, which will be of a handsome chnrs„ of
and may probably be expected to be completed in the ceni'4,to
about 18 months. The tine of street from Oxford streeti:eff
Holborn is now rapidly advancing, the well-known t°°,. re,
in St. Giles's having nearly disappeared, and the house' of
quired for this improvement being all down, with a verfddio,
exceptions; these also are in the hands of Messrs. Re„wer§
and will be very shortly cleared. Contracts for the and
and vaults have been entered into with Messrs. Bennett,podi

commenced. Ground for a French Protestant Church has

removed by them. A church is in the course of ere-j pt°-
this line, and from the rapid manner in which the worksed,'
gross, under the direction of Mr. B. Terry, promises 11°„'"
completion. The design is of early English, and of the,
turesque character. The portion of the improvementir ew''
corner of King-street, in continuation of Great St. ATtit
street, is nearly completed, the buildings being, .'ta, the
one exception, erected, those built by Mrs. Bucking he bold'
