BONDED SpiniTs.--NoTICE TO MERCIIANTS.—The Board
of Customs have lately authorised their collector and comp-
troller at Lancaster, to allow two samples of all spirits intended
for home use, to be taken free of duty, viz.--one at the time of

further sample, also duty free, should the spirits be entered for"
exportation, no return of samples being now required in either

FIRE.—Uri Wednesday evening
broke out in a house in Ktereei's-court, Redcross-street ; fortu-
nately the flames were seen before there wss time fur them to
'make any considerable progress, and by the prompt assislant,e
• of the neighbours and the olice, who were almost immediately
on thi! gpot, they were extinguished without cluing any tnatc
rial injury.
SILK l m cKlNottaM's CoMPENS&TIoN clatneurs
of this itinerant mountebank were ou Wednesday night si-
, lenced, at least for another session, by the rejection of the bill
before the House of Commons, introduced for the purpose of
putting some ten or twenty thousand pounds into his pock 9.
The only thing worthy of notice in the debate is the speech'cit
Mr. Roebuck. who said, and said truly, that Buckingham had
brought all his troubles upon himself by refusing to submit to
the discietionary power vested iu the Indian government.
Roebuck said, also, that he himself had run the risk of a prose-
cution by a publication which he avowrd. Ilad he Bern con-
victed, he would not have come forward with a claim for com-
pensation. Cleave and Hetherington had us good a claim fir
compensation as Mr. Buckingham, and he should therefore
vote against the Lill. This is passiug strange: What does it
portend?
