A man aged 70, and his wife in her Both year,.
were latt week killed at 'l'enge, near Bolton, in
confequence of eating cakes compofed of arfenic,
and made by the woman (who forgot the circum-
ftan.-:) two years fince to kill rats.
Tuefday, about eleven o'clock forenoon, an
alarming fire broke out in a houfe, liirkgate-
leeith, which at firft had a ferious appearance, but
as it broke out near the top of the building, it was
got under before it rekched the more valuable pro-
perty below. Thofe who Anted in extinguitbing
it are entitled to ;very praife for their aCtivity and
perfeverance. Many of them ventured into very
hazardous fituations. It is with extreme regret
we mention, that two fine children, one fix years
of age, the other younger, fell a prey to the rag-
ing element. They, had been left in the apart-
ment were the fire began; while their mother had
gone to. her employfnerit in csring herrings. Un-
fortunately the had locked the door on them, and
their "fitnation was riot knows until too late for
laying them. Several attempts were made, bin in
vain, and one man fell from a ladder and had his
baCk broken, in endeavouring to come at the
apartment where they were locked up. We have
had frequent occafion to mention melancholy con-
fequences exiting from mothers going out and
locking up their children—that which we now no-
tice, will we hope, prove a !ailing monitor againll
fuck fraCtices in future.
Various accounts are in circulation as to the
caufe of the fire. By fome it is laid, that the father
of theft children, who is a lamp-lighter, had left
his oil, torch, &c. in the houfe, and that the chil-
dren in amufing themfelves at the fire with the
torch, had eccationed the conflagration. o£this,
however, there is no certainty, and all , accounts
we have heard are founded only on conjeaure.
As all of our readers cannot be fuppofed to be
converfant in the Greek language, and as doubts
have arifen with regard to the true conartiaion of
the words Assocrate and Asiotracy, which defcribe
the perfon and government of his Imperial Ma.
jetty the EMPEROR of ALI. the RUSSIA', we are
cleared by a learned proletfor to state—that Auto-
crat, means fe././severnmens, or that command over
his own temper and defires which fo happily dif-
tinguithe,. the Imperial friend of BONAPAKTE ; and
that an Autotrate is not a Prince, as it is vulgarly
taken, vho has no rule of government but is his
own Pelf-will, felt-iiiteren. and felf-coticeit.

The fallowing is laid to be the progrefe of the rife
of the Prince of Peace :—A man of the name of
Godoig was, about as years ago, a private in the
Walloon Guards, aad mounted guard one day in
the Gardens of the Efcurial, near the Queen's win-
dow. Her Maitay thought him veryliandfome,
and ordered him to be advanced to the jank of
Lieutenant ; after which he was defired to attend
in her apartments, when he law and converfed
with her Majelly. After Tome time, this Lieute-
nant one day told his beaefaSters, that he had
a brother he requetled might he admitted into the
ranks of the regiment. I'he (cen immediately
ordered that the brother flioula be made Lieute-
nant, and be a Protege or Captain. 'Unfortunate-
ly for the Captain, lie requefled the boaniir of in-
troducing his brother to the gem who found him
handfotner than hiinfelf frism which tithe the Cap-
tain difappeare:', and the *Lieutenant, now Prisicto
of Peace, 'vie *spicily to kis prefent Situation.
The old and haughty nobility of Spain are ama-
zingl9mortified and difpleafed by this fiscldes and
great rife, tis a tank fuperior to any of their order ; ,
and the more Cs, that the abilities of the man bare
not warrantcd fu cztratmlinary a promotion.
