An alarming fire broke out on Sunday se'nnight in
the coach-house of Mr. Varnel, at Stretting, near'
Marlow ; it was occasioned by a candle being thrown
down amongststkne straw. The out-houses were all
destroyed, and the dwelling-house sustained consider-
able damage. The loss is estimated at £5OOO.
Monday se'nnight a fire broke out in a thatched
shed in Kent-street, Glasgow, occupied as a cow-
house, which was burnt to the ground. The cows
were got out with some .difficulty, and the flames
prevented from communicating to the adjoining
buildings.
Some erroneous ideas having gone abroad respect,
ing the duration of the Regency Restrictions, we copy
the following clause on that subject from the Act :
Clause VIII.—" Provided always, and be It enacted,That until
after the Ist day of-February, 1612, if Parliament shall be then
assembled, and shall have been sitting for six weeks immediately
previous to the said Ist day of February, 1812, or if Parliament
. shall be then assembled, but shall not have been so sitting for six
weeks, then until the expiration of six weeks after Parliament
been so assembled and been sitting ; or if Parliament
shall not then be assembled, then until the expiration of six weeks
alter Parliament shall have been assembled and sitting, next after
the said lit day of February, 181 V, the Regent shall not have or
exercise any power or authority to grant, in the name and on the
behalf of his Majesty, any rank, title, or dignity of the Peerage,
I by letters patent, writ of summons, or any other manner what-
ever, or to summon any person to the House of Lords by any
title to which such person shall be the heir appears:lt, or to deter
mine the abeyance of any rank,title, or dignity of peerage, which
now is or hereafter shall be in abeyance, in favour of any of the
coheirs thereof, by writ of summons or otherwise.".
Clause IX. imposes . the same restrictions as to
. time, to grants of all places, pensions, &c. with
certain exceptions. At the time of the passing of the
Act, a year was contemplated as the full extent of
the restrictions ; but it will be seen that, by the proro-
gation of. Parliament to the 7th of January, they are
extended beyond a year. The Bill received the as•
sent by Commission, and became an Act on the sth
of February. The restrictions, should Parliament
meet on the 7th ofiantsarycwill aot expire until the
18th of February.
