Yesterday Morn:ng, About three o'clock, they
watchman was going his rounds, he saw the tiamts
issue from the windows of Mr. Cook's house, in
Princes-street, Drury-lane. He imrnediitely sprung
his rattleand alarmed the inmates, which consisted
of Mr. Cook, who is a single man, his svarants, and
two elderly Ladies, who were sleeping in the second .
floor. Mr. Cook's first care was to take out the old
Ladies, in which he succeeded. They had not time
to dress, and he lc!t tl:ern in a pia a of safety ;—he
next endeavoured to save his books, but found the fire
;it this tirne got so much a-head, that it was impos
Bible to enter the house by the stair case ; he endea-
voured to get in at the first floor window, by climb-
ing by the water pipe, but in this effort be failed,
and falling upon the stones, he was very much hurt.,
The engines of the different Fire Offices soon arrived,
and began to play. The fire having communicated
to the house ut Mr. Ponny, publican, in Drury-lane,
and that of Mr. Elsworth, cheesemonger, next door,
their attention was directed there, and they succeeded
in saving both, with the exception of the back pre-
mises. The house in which the tire broke out was to
tally consumed, with all the property. Mr. Cook is
a hot-presser, aqd it is conjectured the fire took place
in the hot press. The property Liestroyed is very con-
siderable.

MURDER.—A murder was committed on Friday
night, in Chapel-street, Chichester, on the body of a
roan belonging to the 9th lancers, by a corporal of
the 31st foot. They had been drinking together with
some girls, when a dispute arose, and blows ensued;
but the dragoon, it is supposeJ, being too strong for
his adversary, he attacked him with the butt-end of
his musket, and left him for dead : but hearing tiro
cry out, he returned, and with the most savage bru-
tality, struck him three blows on the head. When the
watchman found him, a few minutes afterwards, he
was quite dead. The Coronfm's Jury sat on the bialy
on Saturday afternoon, and returned a verdict of—
Wilful Murder against John Holloway, the corpwal,
who is committed to the City gaol for trial.

DREADFUL FA NATICIsat.-- An article in the foreign
Journals, from Bamberg, contains some curious ac-
counts of the effects of Bamberg,
It mentions, that
circumstantial details had been received concerning
the new sect lately formed in Saxony, and which has
led to a horrid assassination. The sect is established
chiefly in the circles of Leipsic and Misaia. It pro-
fesses the most rigorous observation of the doctrines
of the Old Testament, but they reject the New ; they
would destroy all who do not follow their system,
and they proclaim the regeneration of mankind.—
They teach and Ft-lc:lite 4 mass of superstitious doe-
trines, and think it a service acceptable to GOD to
torment men, and lower animals. Their chief leader
is a tailor, named Kleos, who has been for some
time constantly travelling about the country between
Leipsic and the Eibc, promulgating his dangerous
doctriaes. He has collected numerous meetings tn_
the oi:e.r air, and afterwards preached in the villages,
and made converts of great !embers to his fanati-
cism. This sect, perhaps, Woultlnot have so greatly
fied the public attention, if one of its partizans,
Fischer de Beyersdorff (a miller) and his wife, had
not, through the influence of fanaticism, committed
a murd:T, accompanied by the most horrible circum-
stances. Kloos and his followers had been several
days in prayer, during which they received no
nourishment except roots and grass. Having work-
ed thenthelves into a belief that they were called on
to make liiiman sacrifices, and to inter children alive,
they seized upon a person, named Flort whom they
regarded as a victim, and murdered him in a most
horrid manner. They cut off his hands and feet,
and continued to sing and pray until he was dead.—
A boy, who was to have been butchered in the same
way, made his escape, and gave information of their
abominable crimes. The leader and his wife being
secured, they both rejoiced in the crime, and declared
that Gon had ordered them to exterminate all who
did not believe in their doctrine, because such per-
sons were children of the devil. When news of this
event reached Dresden, Government dispatched troops
to take military occupation of all the districts in
which these fanatics are established. Kloos, it seems,
had received instructions from persons in a higher
class. He is now.in prison, and will be brought to
justice.

FIGIIT BETWEEN' A SEA SERPENT AND A WHALE.—
The Sea Serpent, which has caused so much specula-
tion in the American Journals, was again seen in the
vicinity of Boston, on the 21st of June last, by Mr.
S. WEST, of Hallowell, Master of the packet Drier,
who thus describes it on this occasion, engaged with
a whale that was endeavouring to elude the attack :
The Serpent threw up his tail from '25 to :10 feet in
a perpendicular direction, striking the Whale with
tremendous blows, rapidly repeated, which were dis-
tinctly heard, and very loud, for two or three mi-
nutes. They then both appeared for several minutes
moving in a W.S.W. direction ; when they re-appeared
in-shore of us, and about under the sun, the reflection
of which was so strer,g as to prevent our seeing so
distinctly as before, when the tremendous blows were
repeated, and as clearly heard as before. They again
went down for a s'...ort time, and again came up to the
surface, on our larboard quarter, die Whale appear-
ing first, and the Serpent in pursuit. Here our view
was very fair. The Serpent shot up his tail through
the water to thC height before mentioned, which he
held out of the water some time, waving it in the
air, and at the same time, while his tail remained in
this position, raised his head to the height of fifteen
or twenty feet, as if it were takirg a view of the sea.
After remaining in this situation a short time, he
again suifk into the water, disappeared, and was not
seen after by any on board. The Serpent's body was
larger, in my opir.ion, than the mast of any ship I
ever saw ; his tail appeared very ragged and rough,
and was shaped something like an eel, and its head
like that of a land serpent. Being well acquainted
with the whaling, 1 think•the Whale was eade..r:our-
ing to escape, as he spouted but once, at a time when
coming to the surface; the 'Whale's back was dis-
tinctly seen, as well as his spouting; and the last
time he appeared, he went down before the Serpent
came up. The above was seen by all on board,
amounting to fifteen or eighteen persous, as well as
myself, with the exception of one woman. Luting
! our view, the combatants had pasted a mile or mere.
The Whale was a pretty large one.'
