Last week, Mr. ROBERT WALLACE. CrCOCII, Ayr.
shit e, who, about 15 years ago, from numerous losses,
was necessitated to compound with his crediton for
11s. in the pound, called them together, and paid
them in full, principal and interest. Such conduct,
while it is honourable to Mr. WALLACE, affords an
useful lesion ; for he no sooner got his first discharge
from his creditaxs, than, by the most persevering fru-
gality and industry, he was enabled to accomplish
his highly-laudable views. The creditors made a
present to Mrs. WALLACE, of a handsome set of chino,
with silver tea-spoons, upon which were engraved an
appropriate inscription.

About halt past one o'clock yesterday morning, an
old house, in Exeter-street, Strand, fell down with a
loud crash. he house lied given repeated warnings
of danger, and two families left it a few hours beim e
it fell. An elderly wpman, unwilling to quit her
frail habitation, and anxious to save her tea equipage, •
remained in a situation of great peril till within a tew
minutes of the falling of the walls. Fortunately no
lives were lost.
Friday an Inquisition was held at the Fox-under- •
the-Hill, under the Adelphi-buildings, Strand, upon
the body of a man found dead in the most emaciated
state, in a narrow crevice in • the foundation-work,
level with the river. The body was supposed to have
lain there for ten days, but being only skin and bone,
it was not offensive in the least ; nor were any marks
on the body. It was found out, that about a fort-
night ago the deceased was seen in a tottering state,
walking towards the place, and that his name was J.
Parker. Verdict—Found Dead.,
I Saturdas• afternoon, between '3 and 4 o'clock, the
neighbourhood of ‘Vindsor was visited with a most '
dreadful storm, accompanied with vivid flashes of
lightning, and very loud claps of thunder.—ln the
course of which a fire meteor descended on the boat-
house in the occupation of Mr. Carter, at Windsor-
bridge, and in a few minutes after, the whole was
burnt to the ground. The alarm of the inhabitants
for the safety of the adjoining buildings was very ge-
neral and great, the tempest continuing with unabat-
ing fury, the scene assumed a most terrific appear-
ance. The deluge of rain which fell, prevented the
extension of the fire, which was fortunately got under
without doing much more damage. -
GUILDIIALL.--Yesterday Piece Davis and John
Jones, who had been charged on Monday under die
23d of the King, with aiding and assisting in manu-
facturing illegal spirits, in a cellar under the Paul's
Head Tavern, Cateaton-street, were 'brought up for
further examimation. The Solicitor for the Excise
attended, and stated to the Magistrate, that in consi-
deration of the peculiar circumstances of the defen-
dant's case, in having narrowly escaped death, while
in the cellar, he was instructed, from motives of for-
bearance, to withdraw the information. The defen-
dants were then discharged, with an adMonition to be
cautious in their conduct for the future.
