ALARMING FIRE.

About one o'clock this morning the vicinity of Chyle. /tree,
Piccadilly, was thrown into contagion by the sodden appearance
of flames from the lower pert of the house of Mr. Young, to►accs.
aM. Ilse watchman alarmed the initiates (only two female 54,.
nuts, the family being at Hackney) and they escaped; the &smelt,
however, spread with much activity, and before the arrival of the
engines, had almost gutted the house. However, a plentiful
ply of water being *tallied, the-lames were finally suudued;, Mr.
Young's house being nearly destroyed. It is supposed thie• hr.
originated in the shop, and must have been igniting during the
whole of yesterday.

Saturday a deputation of Middlesex Electors waited
on the LORD MAYOR, requesting him to allow himself
to be nominated as a candidate for the county. His
Lordship has also received a number of letters with the
same request, but his Lordship, we believe. has not yet
made up his mind on the subject. Mr. Meu.san was
talked of in certain gainers as likely to stand.
