In the afternoon of yesterdaywfor about Om hours,

The neighbourhood of Blackfriars was yesterday
thrown into considerable agitation by an alarm of
fire at Apothecaries Hall, occasioned by the bursting
of a vessel, a•:itaining some kind of spirit ; but the
laboratory being principally composed of incombus-
tible materials, and having all the apparatus neces-
sar'y on such occasions within themselves, the danger
was completely suppressed previous to the arrival of
external assistance.

few evenings since as Mr. Nipe, an Officer be-
longing to the Sir Francis Drake frigate, was passing
along Ratcliffe-highway, he had his pocket picked of
casli‘ and notes to the amount of £141., and a gold
Watch, chain, and seals, worth £2.0.
A few nights since, the vestry-room of Temple pa-
rish, Bristol, was entered, and the chests which con-
tained the parish deeds, broken open. It is supposed
that the object of the depredators was to obtain the
sacramental plate, but in this they were disappointed.
The attempt was repeated on the following night,
with similar success.

MiIRG,ITE, OCTOBER 3:

. VIE MASTER OF TIIE CF.RESIONIES' BALI.

Last evening, was attended by 6400 *ell-dressed
persons of both sexes. The company assembled
about nine o'clock. The rooms had been previously
brilliantly illuminated ; and the band of music Imo,
vided was excellent The Ball commenced with
minuets, by Mr. LE B.ss and Miss SrEwAnT ; coun-
try dances followed :—the first was ,4 Michad
•-rins." Among the best dancers were—
Mr. Chisholme - - - - Mrs. Young. •
Capt. Campbell - - - - Miss Tell. ,
Capt. M‘Pherson - Hun Miss Fagg.
(,`apt. Bernard - - - - Mrs. Westingliausen.
The dancers were numerous : to:tr sets were foil
ward—two at the top, one at the bottom, and ono
across. It was a night of drapery : some of the dresses
were of well chosen elegance ; ers of happy ab-
surdity. " Seven ounces is the fashiona!)le weight of
a Ball-room dress," sai4 Mis. R—. No one can
dispute her judgment i " The coat worn by the gen-
tleman 'Who opened the country dances fits uncom-
monly well," observed Capt. Y—. " That's a hems
cut," replied a lady 1
The dancing was kept up with great'spirit until twee
o'clock in the morning, when the catriages were or-
dered, and about three the company had wholly re-
tired. In the circle we noticed-
Lord and *Lady Trimblestons. Sir H. Mann and Mrs. Marra,
Countess D'Alton and Mr. Craven, Sir Johh and Lady Fagg,
Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey, Hon. Mrs. and Miss Carleton, Hon. Mr.

Tuesday a man employed in clearing away a cop-
per at alate brewery, at Hammermith, was suffocated
hy 4 noxious vapour which rose from some stagnated
liquor remaining in it, and all the means used to restore
him to life provcd ineffectual.
The following instance of extraordinary presence of
mind and courage, is mentioned in one of the last
Madras Couriers.—“VELJF.E PATELL, an inhabitant of
Mabonondabado in the vicinity of Kaira, about noon,
on the I sth or January last, whilst working in his cot-
ton-field, perceived a Royal Tygress approaching him,
in an attitude that convinced VEI.JEE of the animal's
desire to destroy him ; and, as he was aware, from

the nature of his situation, that he could not escape,
he made preparations to receive her. The Tygress
springing on this undaunted cultivator, he held out
his left arm to oppose her —whilst, with his right, up-
lifting a korand, or small hatchet, his premeditated
blow was so correctly delivered between the ears of.
the animal, and with such force opposed to the velo-
city with which the Tygress advanced, that it OCCR-'
sioned her immediate death. VELJEE PATZLL had his
leis wrist much lacerated."
SPANISH SHEFP.—We regret to state that a number
of the Spanish sheep, belonging to his Majesty, have
heea killed by the violent and indecorous behaviour of
a crowd of persons in the Palk, on Sunday last. The
sheep were kept in the day-time, except Sundays,
within the inclnsure of St. James's Park, till about four
o'clock, when they were driven into the garden behind
the Queen's Palace; unfortunately the Spaniel) shep-
herd deviated from this rule last Sunday, and took them
within the inclosure of the Park, the same as on ano-
ther day ; and in the afternoon, as he was driving
them back to the Queen's garden, the novelty of the
sight attracted a great crowd of persons, who got
among them, which so much alarmed the poor harm-
less animals, that numbers were knocked down, and
eleven of them were trod to death ; they were all
with lamb. From the injury others received, they The influx of fashion and nobility here is gteater
