Bognor has of laterlike so Minty other places on the
seacoast, acquired some celebrity as a bathing phice ;
and, being situated in the midst of a country which is
fertile down to the very sea, is deserving of its reputa-
tion.. At this place, a fire broke out on Monday, the
-2hTfiiiistaitt, about nooti.— It-began in the hotel, at the
'top of the house, and it is supposed cohere been caused
by-the -kitchen fire ;at least, that was very large at the
time, as sinner was cooking for some of the Sussex
freeholders; wholtad'come thereby water, on their way
to Chichester. The flames soon extended to every part
of the building, as well as to the adjoining stables, and
several neighbouring cottages and houses. Expresses
were dispatched immediately to Chichester for assist•
ance, and engines were sent off the instant they brought
the unwelcome news. The fire was distinctly tem from
the latter place, though eight miles distant from Bog-
nor. The day was uncommonly warm, with a fresh
breeze from the south east, which drove the smoke
along (per the plain, somewhat towaris the spectator
at Chichester, who saw the dark line, appearing to ex:-.
tend in length equal to the whole dist.ince from Bognor
to where he was standing. Its vicinity to the sea, and
the exertions of the inhabitants, aided by the m-n be-
longinglo the Preventive Service in the neighbourhood,
and by the Scotch Fusileers, quartered at Bognor, suc-
ceeded about seven o'clock in checking the flames; but!
they were not then extinguished. The hotel is entirely
destroyed, together with three lodging-houses and ele-.,
Ten cottages. It has not yet been ascertained how or
where the fire broke out, and the time when it was dis-
covered, enabled the proprietor of the hotel to remove
his furniture and stock born the premises. Wine, ale,
and cider, were carried with other things out to the
adjoining meadows; and some merry fellows, in true
electioseering spirit, drank a cheerful glass at their
neighbour's fire side. The proprietor of the hotel had,
it is said, his premises insured ; bat some of the adjoin-
ing houses were not so, and their owners must have
suffered severely.

A most splendid dinner was given, at Bath,' to
General PALMER, and the twelve Gentlemen of the
Corporation of that city, who voted for him at the late
election. Neatly 250 individuals of the first rank and
character in Bath were present upon this occasion, and
the zeal, unanimity, and enthusiasm, which marked the
day, gave to the meeting rather the appearance of ce-
lebrating a triumph, than of paying a compliment of
respect and esteem to an unsuccessful candidate.
Our readers are aware- that a man of the name of
Joseph Macwilliam was lit ly burnt to death, in
Rose-street, Edinburgh. This wretched being denied
himself every comfort and convenience of life—not a;
bed, chair, or table, was in this hovel. ...Aftbr the acci-
dent the place was searched, when there Mere found
bankers' receipts for the enormous sum of 14991.155.10 d.
besides the title deeds of household property exceeding.
MM. in value. Mr. Cowie, hair dresser, who lives
immediately above Mace/Miam': house, has observed
that the miser wore the same outer garments for up-
wards of 15 years. How this wretched bring had ac-
cumulated so much property (nearly 3,0001) has not
yet been satisfactorily explained.-scotemen.

&locals° Accinewr.—A young man, highly re-
spected, named Samuel Harding, in the employ of Mr.
Toting, chair maker, in Norfolk-street, Union-Streeti
Borough, met his death in the following manner :
About half past five o'clock on Tuesday, a horse and
cart coming down Union-street (laden with a large
millstone, weighing newt.), the horse suddenly took
fright; the driver, in endeavouring tb check him, broke
the reins; the animal, finding himself at liberty, set off
at full speed, when the young man endeavoured to stop
him by catching hold of the reins, but was immediately
knocked down by the furious animal, the horse haelng
kicked him under the chin, and the wheel of the cart
passed over the side of his head, which caused the blood I
to fl ow from the wound very copiously. Medical aid
was sent for, but before the surgeon arrived the vital
spark of life had fled. A Gentleman, who saw the
accident, was so terrified as to he immediately put to
bed at Mr. Gillmore's, the sign of the Roebuck, in
Union-sttees, where the accident happened.
