FIRE. •
A dreadful Gre broke 'Oa Otis morning, about Rae
o'clock, in the lower part of the house of Mr. Whiting,
the venetian blind maker, the corner of 11,f)se and Crown
Court, 'and Broad street-buildings, Fin:bury.
Eames burnt with great ftiry, and soon communicated
to the adjoining houses on each side, one'a cabinet m:i.
ker's, the other a grocer's, in Broad-street-buildings,
belonging to Messrs. Knight and Blard, together with
the houses of King and Milford, 14-4.19 and
20, Broad-street-buildings. Soon after eight, the three
houses fell with a most tremendous crash, hut we are
happy to state that no person was hurt by their falling.
'The fire originated, it is said, from a Ferson io the em-
ploy of Mr. Whiting making a preparation fur colour-
ing the blinds, the contents of which boiled over, and
'ter file to the building.
Three houses are totally consumed, and several da-
maged, in Rose and Crown-court ; and the upper part
of two houses in Broad-street-buildings, ate also very
much injured by the fire.

Reynard left the Downs as fast as he could, and hrta. his course
towards the brooks at Landport and on to the margin of the river,
which he kept until he had passed the paper mill, when he pliantly
took to the water, and was quickly on the opposite shore, to the no
small mortificadon of a numerous field of sportsmen, the whole of
whom declined the distinction of following.

RXTRAORDINARY LEAP AT LEWES.
A butcher, who appears to have had more flesh than was ne-
cessary, desired his shop-boy to give the horse exerci,e. He bad
no sooner ruounted, than off the animal started down a very
narrow lane; at the bottom of this lane was placed some gorse
fence, to ptvrent passengers from falling over a precipice of 20 feet
or upwards, the road turning in a right angle. The horse was
what some people call foresighted, and actually cleared the fence, a
turnpike-road Which was at the bottom of the precipice, and
lodged safely in a quickset hedge opposite, neither horse nor rider
being hurt. The leap was *opposed to be about 36 or 40 feet
in length, the fall from the top of the bank to the turnpike road
about 20 feet, the hedge being on a level with the road.—Sperling
Magazine.
