FIRE.—A destructive and alarming fire broke out
about eight o'clock on bunday morning lest, on the
farm belonging to Mr. HOLMES, called Old Salts,
near Shoreham, Sussex. The most prompt assistance
• was given, but the flames continued t 6 rage with in-
creasing tury till ten at night. One large wheat-rick,
which had only been completed on Saturday, con-
taining forty waggons of sheaves, together with an
oat-rick, three hay and clover ricks, two very large
barns, full of grain, a granary, containing large quan-
tities of corn, threshed and untlireshec!, waggons;
carts, ploughs, &c. all fell a sacrifice to the devour-
idg element. The accident is said to have been oc-
casioned by some of the labourers smoking among
.some loose dry straw the preceding evening.
SINQULAft PRESERVATION.—On the 28th ult. while
the boats of the Clarence, 74., lying in Bas:quißoads,
Were chasing a sloop in the passage of Pertiris Breton,
near the isle of Rue, they were fired on from the shore,,
- and a thirty-six pound shot struck the pinnace, dis.
mounted the great gun in the bow, knocked the oars
' out of the seamens' hands, and, finally, fell in the
boat without doing any other damage, or hurting a
single individual:

tion with respect to the late murder of rEctwaril
foist, when &strangers were exoluded. Kitty litrke,
.the eldest daughter of the suppmed .Cliffutd;
fine little girl about twelve -gars of age, Wila the first
person called tip -arid examined ; she gave her .evi-
dence very- clear in English ; the second .daughter,
about ten years of age, was next examined ; she spoke
in Irish, and had an interpreter.; her answers per-
, leafy agreed with those of .her sister, and both with
' the purport of the letters received from Ireland, and
to other matters more immediately touching the
night of the murder. Mr. Thomas Lyons, brother
to Mrs. Clifford, was asked a few questions, but the
most material witnesses of all were a man of die name
of Tho Mas *earthy, and a woman of the name of
Brown, whose evidence goes very home, but it is
the wish of the Magistrate, that for the sake of jus-
tice, it shalt not at present be published. • They were
bound over to appear. Mrs. Leary was all the time
in the lock-up house, and was not examined.
Bow-era LET...-. The Third Mate of a ship from the
East Indies was last night brought in custody before
Mr. READ, at this °dice, by Narks, one of the ofli-
.cers, who apprehended him on a warrant wherein he
stands charged on suspicion of having been guilty of
the wilful murder of a Lascar, one et the crew of the
ship, near Calcutta, and. was committed for further
examination. •

-Gutunra Lt.—Yesterday, a little urchin, only nine
years of age, was cingrged with robbing a boy of his
own age, vi' a ).!tilling, in Bridge-street, Blackiriars.
From the state:mil of the child robbed, it appeared,
that he was assailed by the r 1 honer and another boy,
about eleven years of age. 171;,ey perceived he had
some money aix ut him, ard by prev:ous cc ncert,
seized Lim by the neck, and robbed hitxi of the money
in question. o.ber boy escaped, and the priso-
ner was taken by Cressv.ell; the eflicer. The young
depredator was committed until Thursday next, on
which day Lis parents are to attend.

UNION HALL.— Henry Guyer, Jelin Draper, James
Neuh,andHeasy Glad, were apprehended by Wortley,
charged by Mr. Phiipot, a votary gentleman, yeti.
ding at the Peacock Tavern, .Newington, with having
robbed him of his pocket-book, containing 'several
bank notes, on Monday evening. Mr.- Philpot stated
'that be was passint, by the Rockingharri Arms, in
the Kent Road, on his way borne, when four men,
whom be believed to be the prisoners, came up w
him, pushed him about several times, and then ran
of immediately. Aker they wvre gone, he mistcd
his pOcket-book ; lie applied to Wortley, and in
con-
sequence of the deticriiistion given of their persons, the
prisoners were apprehended. lley were committed
fur re-examination..

11/111Lim !Muir, formerly servant to Mr. Millig en,
"Gilkciscleugh Mains, accused of poisoning Margaret
Hamilton, his wile, by introducing arsenic into a
basin of oatmeal, out of which she made and partook.
of porridge, for her breakfast, on the morning of the
8111 September, 1812, has been apprehended within
these few days Fileshire, and lodged in Edin-
burgh jail.
We mentioned on Monday the robbery cf James
Calder, on the high road between Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and the apprehension of the robbers by
another c.rrr. ler. The two prisoners were taken to
the Council Chambers, Glasgow, and examined be-
, fore the Sitting Magistrate. They proved to be
IVilliant Medic, and INN= Muir, both colliers, and
there is no doubt, that at least one of them, William
Muir, has been concerned in some of the late alar-
ming robberies and depredations. There was found,
ir. the crown c f his hat, a lady's gown, of very, fine
diced muslin, in a halt dried state ; in his pocket a
siver teaspoon, marked with the letters J. V. and a
metal watch, which last has been already identified
as one of which a gentleman was robbed vet y lately.
Muir, about six years ago, broke the prison of Glas-
gow, where.he Was confined for theft from a cart.—
They have been committed to prison. By farther
examinations, it appears, that they are the persons
.who robbed a gentleman near K:rkintilloch, of his
watch and money, on Saturday, the 31st of July last.
The watch has not only been Lentified, but their per-
sons recognised.
Monday se'nnight John Connashan the elder, and
John Connaghan 'he herd, were executed in Mullingar,
agreeably to their sentence, for shooting at Mr. Geo-
criecits, as he was conning 'nut of: the chap:! on Palm
Sunday. Neither of them made any kind of declara-
tion. After hanging the usual time, the bodies were
•lowered into their s!:ells, and buried in the gaol-yard.

The execution of Thomas FL:ning, who was' found
guilty of the murder Of Francis Linn, at Nuckomore,
was respited by the .Tudge to the 4th of September.
Monday se'nnight tine scaffolding at the Cathedral
of Dunkeid gave 'way,while several of the labourers
were at work upon it. Five or six of them hi! from

none were killed ; three of them, howeirer, were se-
verely hurt.

The party who met •with *so fatal an accident on
the 15th inst. off Erith, consisted of five persons only,
viz. a son of Mr. HALES, who was drowned, and a
nephew, who was saved; and a son and two daugh-

not above tWO Years -Since - Commodore- ROWERS,
having nothing else to do, engaged- to prove, by ex-
periments in the•liarbiiur of bkw Yotiti. the folly and!
impracticability of hts schemes, before a.Committee
appointed by order of. Government as umpires be-
tween the fatties ; and Mr. F. was so completely
foiled in his different attempts to get near a vessel he
was to blow up, and which had been rigged out and
prepared under the direction .of the coN;nodose, that
the poor Projector was fain to leftism -into his shell,
discomfited, and overwhelmed with ignominy.
is Mr.Fut.row,•however, is a very enierprising, in-
genious, and persevering mat: —of which the esta-
blishment of steam-boats on the different rivers and
lakes in the United States is sotiizient proof; -and
there is little doubt, that, now ,iie. Govenunent have
held out such inducements tor a..IVCIILLtrOIt of his de-
scription to exert their talents, he w.ll again come
forward ; and hoeecv.er couternptible suJmarine war-
fare, as it is called, tray have proved, er may prove,
as a mode of atac.i, yet, when employed in the: de-
fence of 'such harbours as New York, it will probably
be found not altogether despicable, or unworthy the
consideration of the Div:cums of the descents making
on the American costs. Mr. F. has proved by ex-
periment, and be) and doti!A, that the cable of any
vessel at anchor in that hal balm may be cut under
water, by means of a chisel filed out of a gun ; and
that this appar ALUS can be brought in contact with the
cable, by taking advantage of the very strong tide
there,. and a dark night, without much risk on the
part of the persons :11 the boat necessarily employed
on such an enterprise. The thing is to he done in this
way :—When a-head of the vessel and at some dis-
tance, the machine, with a rope attar lied to it, is to
be thrown overlytatd, and so as to float on one side of,
the vessel, while the boat with the other end of the
line is polled to the other; by
.this means it catches
the cable, which is to be di aned on t.:4 the nwchine
is brought up, and it is so ..onstiticted, that the re-
sistance of the cable to its further hr i;ress draws the
trigger, when in an instant the vessel is adrift. •
" Mr. FULTON ha,. likewis:: invented tthat he calls
his Ground Tarpedos, and these he proposes phenting
in the channel of the Natrows, viz. the entrance to
the inner harbour of New York. It has hven proved
beyond a doubt by Mr. F. .drat if a Torpedo can by'
any means be placed in contact, and directly under
the keel of a vessel, she may be Moan up, or rather,
so shaken as to ft wider : he-therefore proposes sink-
ing, at giien distances, in the Narrows, upright frames
of wcod, proportioned to the depth r f water ; and
these frames are to present their sides to the •siream;
and on that facir.;; the entrance of the harbour is to
be placed a lever perpendicularly • to the lower end
of which a Torpedo is to be attached, while the other
nearly reaches the surface it the water, and on any
vessel's passing over, it gives way till it becomes hare-
zontar: it turns on the upper and outer angle of the
frame, so that the Torpedo may be brought in con-
tact with the keel, by the pressure of which on a spring
it explodes. 1

-This is all very simple, no doubt, bin by no
means the less practicable on that account; and as
these two exver.ments were considered in that light
by the most intelligent and disiLteresced Members of
the Committee directed to decide vu the utility of
Mr. Fur.Tox's schemes r aestroying the British
navy, there rut be
no h;iim in tsposaig them, and
putting our Naval Commanders on their guard.—
And the loss of the nine seamen by Ole implosion of?
the Eagle schooner, three hom s after she was taken ;
possession of, may pre bably dispose than to pause
before they RCM the matter with commit.
In regard to Mr. F. sending cut vessels in the
way he did the Eagle, should that expel iment b.. tried
spin, it would be very lair to convert such a pi ize
into a cartel, and let hiT expinde with American in-
stead of British seamen."
