DOVER, OCTOBER 12.

The Thetis schooner privateer arrived this math•
ing from Corunna, in four days, and landed a mail
from that Port at Folkstone.—Yesterday morning we
experienced a very heavy gale from the S.W. which
caused a most tremendous sea along this coast, par-
ticularly at Folkstone, where two houses were washed
down. and in one of them the whole of the furniture
was lost.

FlRL—This morning, between five anSI sia o'clock,
an alarming fire broke out at Mr. btachlurdoe's, a
baker, in George-street, Bermondsey. ('he whole of
tne premises, as well as two adjoining houses, were
entirely destroyed ; and such was the rapidity of its
progress, as to prevent any part of the property being
saved.
