. Monday evening an Inquifition wits taken at the
Wary Room of St. Mildred's Church, on the body
otcharlesWell, a journeyman painter, who fell from
the tap of Mr. Cafes houfe, in the Poultry, on Satur-
day Lan. Thomas llowfon depofed, that he and the
deceafed were ordered to paint the back part of the
top of Mr. Cafs's houfe, and that from its 'aft height
from the ground, it was thought by them the bell
way to fufpend a balket, by two ropes, is order to
get at the part they could not otherwife reach ; that
he, the deponent, 'went into tits balker, and was fut
pended in it the greateft part of the forenoon ; that
about half pall three in the afternoon, a carpenter
came to put on a plece of Wood, and was &fired by
the deceafed to get into the bad, which he refufed
to do unlefs two additional ropes were put to it s
on which Weft, in a pafGon, put of his Coat, and
getting into the baiket, cleared to—be lowered down,
and kid that he 'would finals the painting work
without the carpenter's job being done. The "de-
ponent and the carpenter complied with his requell,
and lowered him down, where. he did not remiin
more than one minute and a half before the basket
tipped over, when he fell to the gtound, and was
literally dallied to pieces. The Jury brought in a
verdift of Accidental Death. The deceafed has left
a wife and three children.

On Sunday night the Poll Horre-offsi, in Poland
!beet, was broke open by the moil vinitnt exertions
of an iron crow, fuppofed to be two inches thick.—
The lock of the Ilreet door, which is extremely
ftrong, was fet into the wall, but the violence tiled
was fo great, that it was forced out of the wall. The I,
villains proceeded to break open the front office
they then broke open the clerk's defk, which only
contained a 201. note, Pith which they made of.—
They attempted to break open the iron chefl, but
could not fucceed. Had they obtained it, their booty
wouid, have been upwards of loon. 'On Friday was
the general teceiving day, the receipts of which
amounted to so,oool. and it is fuppofed the villains
were apprifed of this, and expelled to get the parer-
lion of this enormous fun.

fiat s.—Yefterday morning, about four o'clock, as
the watchman was going his rounds, he difcovered a
heavy fmoke iffuing from a hook at the corner of
Fleur-de-lis-Areet in Blotitim Rivet, Norton Falgate,
which loon after born into a flame, and raged with
great fury until that and the adjoining houfe were
wholly deftroyed, and a third honk much damaged.
The houfe in queltion, was the
Honk,Public
which is completely levelled to the ground,
and not an article .laved ; the fire is Anted to have
arifen from a (park that dropped from the candle
among Tome chips and fhavings in a clofet in the tap-
room, and which moll have mouldered for four
hours at leaft before it was difcovered. Happily no
lives were 101 l or any ferious- injury, except to pro.
petty, fuftained.
Another fire, about two in the mottling, was dif-
covered in the back premifes of Mr. Metcalf, an emi-
nent cabinet and chair maker, in Primrofe-(!sect,
Bifhopfgate. As foon as the alarm was given, the
drums of the 6th Loyal London beat to atm:, and a
number of the corps attended, who were extremely
ufeful in preferving the unfortunate fufferers' proper-
ty from any other defallation than that of the all-
devouring element. The combuflible nature of the
Rock in trade canfed the fire to rage with great fury,
and it was not got under until the whole of the Rock
of timber, mahogany, enifhed goods, &c. at Mr. Met-
call',.—the interior part of the hook, with the flock
and furniture at the Fox and Grapes public houfe,
and part of that in the next houfe, were very much
injured—the loft is very confiderable, and we are
furry to add, not a third part infured. The tools,
benches, &c. belonging to fifteen working men, were
all wholly confutned—an irreparable lois to the poor
men.

The ancient church at Southwold, in Suffolk, had
nearly been deftroyed on Friday laR by the fame
kind of card& Ilupidity which caufed the accident
at Covent Garden Chorelt and Wellminßer Abbey.
Some plumbers employed in repaiting the lead had
kindled a fire with only the precaution of a little
mould underneath. The fire had. unperceived by
them, communicated to the timber below, where it
was making rapid progrefs when difcovered by a car-
penter at work at the Wide of the church. It was
fupprefftd, however, by the affiduity of the inhabi-
tants without doing any material injury.
During the inundation of the sift ult. the town
of Aarweiler was deluged with water, and the in-
habitants forced to fly to the mountains with their
children and the tick, during the night, when the
deßroying Rorm continued with increafed fury.—
The villages above Aarweiler, fuch as Staid, Kef.
felling, Denn, Bruck, Altenburg, Reimerzhoven,
Laag, Lierfch, &c. were utterly overwhelmed and
carried away, unfortunately with mcli of their in-
habitants. The River Aar has worked out a new
courfe. Rraight upon the town of Aarweiler, fo that
it will at the next iocreafe of water. though ever
fo little, moll pofitively Row right through Aar-
weiler, and mutt, by degrees, carry the town sway,
if the torrent be not forced into another channel.
Not a tingle mill in the dieri& has been left kr-
viceable.
