A fire broke out about ten o'clock last nig"'
in the premises at the back of the north side of Liocc4°,o*.ti
inn-fields, which for some time threatened the
dangerous consequences. The volume of flame which
burning buildings sent forth, cast a lurid glare thato
great part of the metropolis, and the consequence was'
an immense crowd soon assembled to behold the ravege,,° 0
the conflagration. The engines were playing open it' rib
the end of Little Queen-street, and also from then 414bs

lently to the eastward, and at that time the whole f'„iel r
sire square of Lincoln's-inn-fields appeared to be c0°
„lie
in fire. It was stated that at that precise moment ,
of the houses in Lincoln's-inn-fields itself were in il3°':•s,
but we believe there was no foundation for that rura°;j,
Within an hour afterwards the fire had considerably at''',
owing to the number of engines which were PlaYi9g':cd
to a deluge of rain, which very fortunately was tsbe`g-ai,o
upon it. The supply of water was abundant, as wre fro
the supply of pickpockets: During the whole of the iees
we never saw a police officer present where his sea
were wanted ; and the consequence was, that the erea,ree
confusion prevailed in the vicinity. We saw two or ti
as
individuals carried senseless through the crowd, bat it W
quite impossible to learn how far they were injured.

SECOND SIGHT.—The following 2tTanii-
count is given as from the mouth of Lord ERSKINIZ to
authoress, in Lady MoanAN's Book of the Bow* tr' g-
o book, which keeps the reader in a constant feverin:p.
cillation between contempt for the pedantic preteo.l,,l
and absurd affectation, and admiration for the origdol
talent and lively vigour of the writer I,' said beet'
ERSKINE, believe in second sight, because I bsv,e beCp
its subject. When I was a very young man I ha'..,;pg
for some time absent from Scotland. On the /11°'-te
of my arrival in Edinburgh, as I was descending the:tot
of a close, on coming out from a bookseller's shop, `„,le,
our old family butler. He looked greatly changed', roidt
wan, and shadowy, as a ghost. 'Eh I old boys .1 hir
what brings you here?' He replied, To meet your re,
Hour, and solicit your interference with my Lord not
cover a sum, due to me, which the steward at 6111...perf
settlement did not pay.' Struck by his looks and Ins
I bade him follow me into the bookseller's, into aY
shop I stepped back ; but when 1 turned round to 9r-ife
to him, he had vanished. I remembered that higniere-
carried on some little trade in the old town. I rejcli I
bered even the house and the fiat she occupied. 1",%-t,
had often visited in my boyhood. Having made it 010-
found the old woman in widow's mourning. fief het
band had been dead for some months, and had told ga
on his death-bed that my father's steward Lad wrleii,
him of some money, but that when Master ToN, retur-tod
he would see her righted. This I promised to do, 0,10
shortly after fulfilled my promise. The impression tbe
indelible ; and lam extremely cautious bow I. deribich
possibility of such supernatural visitings' as those ‘l,ther
your Graeo has just instanced in your own family.' fi,off
Lord ERSKINE did or did not believe this strange "r
(says Lady MORGAN) ; if he did, what a strange abetfios
tion of intellect ! if he did not, what a stranger abeqts
from truth My opinion is, that lie did believe I:3ipts
had not, however, then learned upon what trifling Piagi
human credulity then turns—how little even our ckeinc.on,
are our own, and how far the strongest minds ',log's'
sistent with themselves, and obstinately retain the
ears and folds of early impressions."
