STOCKHOLM, JUNE il.

In the parish of Grue, in the district of Hedemark,
in Norway, a church has been burnt, by which many
persons have come to a melancholy end. The church
was of wood, and smeared over with tar, so• that the
whole edifice was in tunes in a few minutes. Several
hundred persons who were in it at the time rushed to
the door; a press was caused, which stopped the way.
—The people then ran to the windows, and, though
they were high, leaped through them out of the burn-
ing building. The Clergyman, who was in the pul-
pit, chose this shorter way, and saved his life by a
hazardous leap ; but above 100 persons, who could
not make their escape, perished in the flames. The
fire was caused by the carelessness of the sexton, an
old man, who had not used due caution with the fire
kept for lighting the tapers on the altar.
The fire which broke out on the 23d of May, at
Ulcaborg, in Finland, has not only reduced the whole
town to ashes, but totally destroyed the houses before
it and the Custom-houses. Many of the fire-engines
were also consumed. Several persons were burnt to
death in their houses, and 4000 people are now wan-
dering about without shelter or food.

" The. Greek armed vessels, in considerable numbers, have
made their appearance off Scio. The Captain Pacha had got
under weigh with his fleet, and both forces were left near each
other, between SAMOS and ficio, without having come to action,
when the Cambrian frigate passed three days ago. All is per-
fectly quiet here."
