YORK CO RISTMAS Fattta—This fair, which corn-
mowed on Monday last, bas Gear very numerously ;wend-
ed both by buyers and sellers of horses. '1 he gentleman
fainter, the London Ilealer, the country grazier, ati,l the
adventurous speculator, have all been unusually busy.
The general prices, however, at widen infeiiar hors',
were sold, may be• considered .at about a reduction of
nearly 9.5 per cent, but superior coach horses, roadster',
and hunters, were rtadily bought tip at rn,actt once. Maoy
bruises, we understated, were purchased fur the army, a
circumstance 'which, ant refit ermu, seems r:sther 'extra-
ordinary during a time of peace. At this fair, serrral
swindlers have exercised.their vrl;arnous:iarts on the unwsrl.
One of them purchased. a Wails mare Inc 2st. and paid foe it
with bad notes of the lirtford and Newark banks (butt; of
vriticlt•tupped payment spine titue ago), the swindler receiv-
ing the requisite change. A wagon. we lir ar paid three 101.
notes irorpurtimr to have been issued from a batik which oft
inquiry proves r a be lietitiuus ; arid several similar tricks have
also been played off,

Important Diecover,y.---T he celebrated French
Chymist, Mr. GA Y licssAc, is stated to have
made a very valuable discovery of a means to
render the most inflammable substances combus-
tible without flame and without fire. These bo-
dies are consumed without properly catching fire,
or, in other words, without feeding or propagat-
ing the fire. Muslin, prepared after the process
of the inventor, has been exposed to the flames,
and was consumed without producing -eveul
spark. This discovery, though now first publiclj
announced, is said not to be of a recent date.

DREADFUL FIRE NEAR MASIIAM.—A.bont three
o'clock on Friday week, an extensive mill, in the
occupation of Mr. PREST, of Masham, in York-
shire, was discovered to be on fire, which soon
spread to various parts of the building, and, be-
fore the engines arrived from Bedale, the devour-
ing element had increased with ruch rapidity, as
to render all endeavours to save the building
fruitless. After burning for some time with
unabating fury, the roof fell in with a tremens
dous crash, and the whole of this extensive
building, which was thirty yards in length, ten in
breadth, and five stories in height, soon became a
mass of smoking ruins, nothing but the bare walls
being left. The loss, we ar© sorry to says
amounts to ten thousand pounds, and was only
insured in the Norwich Union Office for four thou-
sand five hundred. It is supposed the machinery
in the mill had been overheated, which caused the
fire. The dwelling-house and twenty-five cot-
tages adjoining would have shared the same fate,
but happily the wind blew in a contrary direc-
tion ; providentially no lives were lost. We are
informed that '_he building belonged to Mr. WY"
vit,L, and was occupied by Mr. PREST on a lease,
thirty years of which are unexpired.
