nuts.—At about four o'clock on the morning of Saturday
se'nnight, a fire was discovered in the ware-rooms of Mr.
Thomas Shinkwin, cabinet maker, Patrick's-street, Cork, and
shortly after broke out in tremendous flames, which threatened
destruction to the surroundin; houses. After five o'clock the
Mayor and Sheriffs, with General kloyd and Staff, attended, with
a party of the military, and every possible exertion to reduce the
flames was made, but without effect, until the whole of the back
part of Mr. Shinkwin's Concerns was destroyed. The most distress-
ing circumstance of this shocking; disaster has been the loss of three
lives, a soldier of the 71st regiment, a journeyman baker, and a
young lad, an apprentice to Mr. Cogan,who were unfortunately
under a wall, which fell in Consequence of the timber that bound
it being burned. Several p.- sons have suffered conshistrablyfrom
' this calamity by the removal of their furniture, although the fire
was confined to Mr. Shinkwin's concerns.

In the night of the 25th ult. an alarming fire broke out in the
house of Archibald Mitchell, wtight at Lendrich, parish of Airly,
by which his whole property was destroyed, including every ar-
tHe of household furniture, wood, and every working utensil, two
cows, two young cattle, and some sheep. The lives of the family
were whh difficulty preserved.
Tuesday about two o'clock in the afternodn, a most alarming
fire broke out in that tenement, corner of the Square, Greenock,
possessed by Cameron and M'Farlane, Ralph Logan, and George
Kerr. It began in the garret occupied by the former as a cabinet
workshop, and the flames had nearly.burst through the roof ere
it was discovered ; and, though every exertion was used, the fire
made such rapid progress, as to destroy the entire workshops and
warehouses. A strong stone wall luckily prevented its commu-
nicating to the front house, which has received little or no injury.
Saturday se'nnight, an alarming fire broke out in Lawn-street,
Paisley, in a thatched tenement, which was completely burnt
down in a few hours.
