On the 21st of May, a most destructive fire broke
out on Wakefield estate, in the parish of St. Thomas
in the Vale, in Jamaica, occasioned by sparks from
the chimney of the still-house, which communicated
with the shingles ; and, a strong north wind prevail-
ing, soon set the whole building in flames. Notwith-
standing every endeavour to prevent its spreading,
the other buildings also caught fire, including the
great house, and all the out-buildings, which, with
almost every thing they contained, were also entirely
consumed. By this conflagration 40 hds. of sugar,
and 28 puncheons of rum, were likewise destroyed.
About two o'clock on Saturday morning an alarm-
ing fire broke out in the soap and candle loft of Messrs.
Brown and Kibble, chandlers, Ross. The flames
raged with such fury as to threaten the destruction of
a whole tow of houses ; but by the spirited exertions
of the inhabitants, aided by two excellent engines, the'
fire was happily got under, after the workshop was
burnt down, and considerable damage done to the
dwelling-house and another adjoining.
On Friday sennight, as three labouring men were
employed in saving hay in a field at Cuss:tne, near
Ashenry, in Ireland, they were struck by ligi'-king,
when one of them was killed on the spot, and tbe
other two were in a state of insensibility for a unsi-
derable time ; they are now, hi,wever, perfectly re-
covered. The unfortunate maa who fell a victim, ap-
peared to be literally enveloped inflames when sri uck.
On Tuesday se'nt4ht John Sadler, labourer, of
Wotton-Underedge, after drinking three pints of gin
at one public-house, went to another, where boasting
of his prowess in drinking whilst a soldier, he nta‘!e
a bet with a person in the house, that he would drink
a quart of gin in an hour! The liquor being brougl.c
in, he took off the half of it at one draught, and 5,011
after finished the remainder with as little ceremony !
He then boasted of the feat, and the instant alter-
wards fell down, anil expired almost immediately.
