PESTRUCTION OF SHANE'S CASTLE BY FIRE*

With infinite concern Westatelhe total destruc-
tion of this noble and venerable mansion, the seat
of Earl O'Nau., by fire, on Wednesday evening'
the kith, init. The confiagrAtion was so furious,
and spread ruin so extensively and immediately,
that nothing was saved -but the title-deeds, and
other valuable papers of his Lordship and his fa-
mily, with the plate ;
_every thing else, of evs9l
description, as We are informed,- was 'consumed?
The fire appears to have been purely accidental.
It commenced in one of the chimnies, and was
observed by the domestics of his Lordship with'
out any alarm. It gained forc.!, however, iin"
perceptibly, and suddenly burst out with such Vic.
lence into the drawing-room, as rendered its pro-
gress irresistible. The event will excite very ge'".
trend concern. The loss of an edifice so celebrate
ed for the beauty and the antiquity of its archi-
tectnre, and forming an object of peculiar era"
deur from the singularity of its situation on the
shore of Lough Neagh, Will be lamented as almost
a national misfortune, and a circumstance which
deprives an amiable Nobleman, not less .distiPm,
Ostia for the hospitality and urbanity of his
mannersthan for public spirit and a liberal IBM,
of aria residence—sof "that residence, too, which.
hie ancestors had occupied for generations, 1104
which many historical occurrences bad reinletea
memorable : it will be a subject of deep and gt or:
r 0 public. sympathy. It would indeeq
to replace Shine's Castle, as It R(Ola before tOis:
very heavy calamity. It would he a work.of
and of prodigious expence to do it—and we great'
iy tear an undertaking now altogether impractim,
cable. There are consolations in tuisfottuite,.
hoWever, which equally mark the philosopher aind,
the man of humanity. That of Lord O'NEIL, ors
this occasion, which swept away almost in a mo-
ment, a proud monument of family distinctions
was that no lira were /wt. To record this ex-
pression is the richest tribute that Could be offered
to his Lordship's character.
