HERTFORD, Oct. :3.
`LUST DEsTRUCTIVE. FIRE. —We have :Lis
the neon piinful:doty of recording one of the in.ot destructie c
fires which has occurred in this neigntourh•md tor some year. psi:.
This morning (Friday) between iwelse and one O'clock, the
tants of Stevenage esere ..roused by the watchman giving 11
alarm of fife, which it appeared had broken uut in an out-liouee
the yard of the White Hart pubic-house, situated in t!
centre of the town. Mr. Rudd, the landlord, and his se. a
and child, had been some tune in bed, leaving all safe wlo I
they retired to rest. Mr. Rudd had scarcely time to ;;:t
possession of his money and papers Wore the fire comnturicate I
to his dwelling-house, which in a few seconds was raging in c:.•
controulable flames. Minitel( and family, as well as the net. :.-
bouts bouts on each side, to whose dwellings the fire had communicated,
escaped from their homes almost in a state of nudity, and were il
pitably received by the inhabitants on the opposite side of t.te
street. The destructive element almost immediately communi..;:ed
to the adjoining premises, and nine other houses, which, tJ,e-
ther with the outbuildings. presented one grand mass of fire. l'ae•
Stevenage engine was soon on the spot, but owing to the diflici :ty
of precbring water, a pond at the Hertford entrance of the
affording the only means of supply, it was of little service in an •
ing the coniagration, which was awfully imposing. The w::01,
ut the houses, nine or ten in number, with a•great portion to :hair
furniture, &c. were totally consumed, as well as four coltishly
horses, carts, pig% pantry, &c. Ste. It is impossible, to the
confusion in which every thing is at this time, to re nec-
tore the amount of property consumed, but we fear it will
not fall far short of 4,000 i. or 5,0001. Nome portion of the
property is insured in the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. ard
some in other fire-offices. The Harbin and lleidock engirt..
rived as soon as possible, and with the Stevenage were g
when our informant left. It is hoped, however, that the fire would
nut spread further. At present there are various conjectures .14 Z
its origin. None of the horses destroyed had been out at work,
and were only left in the stable (tenanted by a man named ()beer,
where it is supposed the fire ,riginated) by the waggoner and his
lad, about a quarter of an hour before the alarm was given by the
watchman ; and hence it is supposed by many that he may h. va
dropped a spat k from his lantern, although he strenuously per.tos
in asserting that he left all safe. Another report is. that the
watchman met a man running away from the scene of deva.ta-
non, a few minutes before he discovered the bre. The Whi-e
Hart belongs to J. M. Caner, Est of this town, and of several
barrels of beer in the cellar the hoops only remain. Some of the
adjoining houses are also the property of Mr. Carter. A neigh.
pouring Magistrate, Mr. Baker, repaired to the spot, and was pur-
suing his inquiries into the origin of the fire.
The lames were distinctly visible for miles round. It is a cu-
rious cittunutanee, that the progress of the fire this morning was
stopped at the Unicorn puhlic.hoir.e. which was the very house
left standing during a large fire, which took place sonic years ago
on the other side of it.

The Duke of But K I NOM A x's steward has notified to
his Grace's tenants that an allowance of five per cent.
will be made at the next rent day, the 20th instant.
GAME.—The complaints of the bcarcity of game are
more general this year than for a long period ; the num-
ber of partridges and pheasants to be seen is incredibly
small; and hares are equally scarce.—Bath Paper.
