FIRES—About fiveo'clock on Tuefday, a fire broke
out in the Horfe Barracks, at Windfor. It com-
menced in the Officers apartments, which, being in.
front of the building and detached, fortunately Con-
fined !the flames within them, which were entirtly
deflroyed. A great (carcity of water, and the Bar-
rack engines being out of repair, precluded all
Alliance, till the arrival of engines from, the Foot
Barracks, pad& church, and Meffrs. Ramfbottom's.
—One of the privates of the Rryal Honk Guards
(Blue), who endeavoured to lave fume prOperty be•
longing to an Officer, was obliged to make his efcape
out of a three pair of ftairs window ; fortunately he
was caught on feather-beds, without receiving any
injury, except his hair and clothes being fcorched.—
The accident was occafioned by the'plumbers making
a Fre on the top of the building to repair the roof,
and afterwards negleding to attend it.
This morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke
out at No. 69, Norton.fireet, Mary la bonne' •being
the boufe occupied by Mrs. Sr. LRGER, of Covent
Cvarden Theatre. The fire began in an apartment
on the firft floor, where a candle had been left burn-
ing near thebed curtains by Mrs. Sr. Lac ER' whohad
gone to the Mafqucrade, at the Pantheon. Soon after
the fire broke out, a female fervent in the family, who
slept in the upper part of the *mute, finding herfelf
furrounded by flames and fmoke, precipitated herfe If
from a three pair of Rain; window, and was killed
on the (pot. She fell into the area, againft the walls
of which her brains were literally allied out. It was
nearly five o'clock this morning before the fire was
completely extingnifhed, when the infide of the boat
with all the furniture appeared to be completely de-
ftroyed. The timely arrival of the fire engines pre.l
vented any damage being done to the adjacent honks.
Yeflerday Captain Read of the Cambo, Wain-
diaman, was re-examined at Shadwell Office, on a
charge of murdering T. Anderfon his apprentice,
when it appeared that the prifoner had no intention
of killing the lad, whole negligence of perfonal
clisanliis had rendered him an object of poniflunent,
but which had been too feverely adminifiered. The
Captain was therefore admitted to bail, hiMfelf inn
400. and two (arctic' in 'cal. each.
