DREADFUL rxeLostote.—Yesterday Morning, ilsput
three o'clock, the extensive powdet-citills at Houn-
slow blew up with a tremendous noise, the effects of
which have been very sensibly felt by the inhabitants
of that qnarter, and in most of the houses the win-
dows have nearly all been broken. The eiaosion
was very distinctly heard at the West-end of the town ;
and at Brompton most of the houses were shaken.
FIRE.—A most destructive fire broke out en the
night of the 3d inst. in the extensive new-built Jn- 1
ton-mill, behind the Barracks, at Belfast, which, not-
withstanding the active assistance of the officers and
privates of the artillery, and of the Dumfriesshire mi-
litia, aided by a number of engines, was almost -to-
tally consumed, with the valuable machinery, &c.—
We lament to add, that a young man named Wal.
lace, belonging to the artillery, whose services were
conspicuous on the occasion, lost his.life by the fall of i
a wall ; one of the Dumfries militia was dreadfully
bruised by the same cause; and a poor silly man,
named Ben Grub, had a lei and a thigh broken.
By this lamentable conflagration, it is calculated that
near 300 people will be thrown out of employ.

COY/INT-GARDEN THEATRIL---MT. CIJERRY'S very
interesting, Comedy of " The Soldier's Daughter,"
was performed on Saturday night, and presented
Mrs. JORDAN, as the fascinating Widow Cheer?y, to a
numerous and delighted auditory. The reception
of Mrs. J. was no less flattering than that which
marked her first appearance. The plaudits which
attended her dire lasted for several minutes—and
spoke not the mere approbation which the talents of
a favourite actress are c7O:-Irlated t renence, but
seemed rather the result of a strung feeling of per-
sonal respect and attaelnient. She sustained the
character of the Widcw Cheerly with all tkist grace-
, ful, unconstrained sprightliness, which leaves her
competitors'at an immeasurable distar -a...which can-
' not, in fact, be imitated ; which is lot the child of
habit nor of ech:cation ; but, where it does appear,
must flow spontaneously from the heart.—The other
characters of the Comedy, were well sustained.—Mr.
JogEs's Frank Heartall exhibited all the easy vivacity,
and gentlemanly demeanour, which generally charac.
win his performances, and have very justly placed him
at the head of his profession. Mr. BLA Not MID was very
happy in his delineation of the honest old Governor
and no human being could witness Mr. LISTON'S per-
sonatior. of Timothy, without laughter. We were very
much pleased with Mr::...ECIEItTON'S performance of
the character.of Mrs. Matfort; which she sustained
with delicacy and feeling.
