Thurfday laft at twelve o'clock a dreadful fire
broke nut in a candlemaker's workhoufe, in a bye
lane in the town of Invernefs, near which fix bar-
rels of gunpowder ha.l been lodged, and to which
the fire communicated before it was difcovered—
The explofion was awful, and its efFals melancholy.
Two amiable young ladies, daughters of Captain
SIMON FRASLR, of Finellan, were palling at the
time; the •me was killed on the fpnt, and the other
fo Mockingly mangled that little hopes are enter-
tained of her recovery. Many others loft their
lives, but the numbers are not vet known. Mott
of the bonfes in the town arc much damaged; few
have efcaped broken windows. It is to be regretted
that there is not a proper gunpowder magazine in
levery town—there are laws to that purpofe, but
Ifeldom abed upon till after fuch warnings.
