riIHE RED ROVER
By the Author of " The Spy," " The Pilot,'
" The Prairie," &c.

" This is another tale of the sei, a companion worthy of
" The Pilot," and superior to any description of nautical
scenes hitherto laid before the public, not even excepting
those of our own Smollett. Cooper, the American No-
velist, has no living superior."—Scotsman.
" The details of a storm, a cline, and a wreck are, be-
yond all comparison, the most powerful in their effects that
ever thrilled through us, and are as little likely as substan-
tial facts to fade from our memories. The winds and waves
are at his command, and the storms which his magic pen
so readily raises, howl and roar—with a truth and witchery,
perhaps too near reality, making the brain waver, and
turn from the page for relief—to be sure of its security."—

DREADFUL FIRE.

On Saturday morning, at one o'clock, in the
height of the storm which prevailed, an alarming
fire broke out at a large hat-manufactory belonging
to Mr. Forth, in Castle-street, Southwark. The
inmates had retired to rest, and were awakened to a
sense of their danger by a watchman, who saw smoke
issuing out of the lower part of the house. The
fire was most rapid in its progress, arising from the
premises being chiefly composed of timber, and
before it was arrested the flames spread to the ad-
joining house, in the occupation of Mr. Jepson,
which being also built principally of wood, shared a
similar fate, and both were destroyed. The inmates,
seven in number, in this latter dwelling, were near
losing their lives, and escaped by getting on the
roofs of the adjoining houses, most of them without
any covering except their night clothes. There was
a plentiful supply of water, and to this circumstance
combined with the indefatigable exertions of the
firemen, is to be attributed the preserva►ion of the
whole row of houses in the street, and also an ex-
tensive bop-warehouse immediately at the rear of
where the conflagration commenced. During the
time the engines were at work, two of the firemen
ran great risk of losing their lives. They were en-
gaged in directing the hose and stood in the passage
of one of the houses that was on fire. While there,
the roof having given some slight pr:evious indica-
tion of falling in, one of the firemen ran back, and
having pulled his companion, they were just in time
to save themselves, the roof, flooring, and all giving
way immediately afterwards. One of them received
some slight contusions. We understand that a
quantity of hats which were on both premises at the
time were destroyed.
