%Vt. had a dreadful fire here a few days ago, which
consumed a large convent for women; and lam
sorry to relate, seven unhappy victims felt the fury
of the unrOlent.ng flames. The scene for some hours
- was dreadful. It was first discovered about ten
o'clock at night—all the nuns were in bed, and it
'sac some time before they could be made acquainted
with their danger—the few that escaped were obliged
to leave the convent naked, as they never sleep in
their clothes—those that wete burnt were seen at the
windows, till the flames consumed them. There
were no means of saving them, as the windows were
strongly grated with iron, and only one door that
they could get out of, which was entirely *enveloped
Imes. The fire was occasioned by a nun making
sweetmeats : she had pined ha tire on a table, in a
small earthen stove, and left it unestinguished ; the
hest of the stove made the rosin in the wood to fry'
0.1 it it supposed a cinder had fallen, and the con-
vent being built of the same kind of wood as the
table, it was soon in a blaze. The next night we
f.ad a tremendous fall of rain—the water courses were
hlivd, and tan a different way ; in consequence of
which 14 iscrsous oat dtowsted huuscs.
