ALARMING FIRE IN A VESSEL IN DOCK.

Yesterday forenoon, about half-past ten o'clock, the
crew of a bligantine called the " Etnerald," Captain
Kroban—which was lying at the north end of Canning-
theck, and was ready fur sea—discovered, from the smoke
that issued from the foreca-tle, below decks, that com-
bustion was going on among-t the cargo in the h„ld.
They used every exertion for some time to put it out, but
finding their efforts unava line, they called the policeman
whn was at hand, anti w ho immediately ran off to the fire-
station, and gave the alarm, at about half-past eleven
o'clock. Two engines immediately came up, and four
others were soon after on the ground, with a strong body
of firemen. The fore-hatch had then been got off, and
the smoke below was of so suffocating a nature, that it
could scarcely be emcountered, and the precise spot where
the fire was going on, could not he ascertained. Mr.
Hewett, superintendent of the fire-police, and several of
his men, as well as some of the crew of the vessel, how-
ever, ven.ured down, and began to extract the cargo
(which was stowed up to the deck) ; and the hose front
two of the best engines (Nos. 1 and 5) were i troduced,
and played with, eventually, good effect. Great exertions
were made, every owe doing his utmost—Mr. Hewitt
being of opinion that unless the flames (which they could
not see for the smoke) were subdued in a short time, the
fire would become uuemitronlable.

The vessel had on board about 123 casks of oil, a quan-
tity of soft soap, twelve tolls of raga, old ropes, and cot-
ton waste, and a considerable weight of britostone,—the
whole so injudiciously stowed together, that there can be
little doubt but that sponianeous combustion had resulted
from some of the oil coming in contact, by leakage or
otherwise, with the rags and waste. The vessel, i.hich
was from Cork, had discharged and afterwards loaded in
the Salthouse Dock, and had afterwards been hauled into
the Canning Dock, on Saturday last, preparatory to going
to sea so soot as she had sufficient water. She drew
twelve feet, and was to have gone into the river with last
night's tide. At the time she was found to be on fire.
there was fourteen feet of water on the Canning Dark
sill, arid the dock master being sent for, she was immedi-
ately hauled into the gut, at the bridge, (which was thrown
bark.) so that she might be clear of the shipping in the
dock, and be then skuttled—with two fret to sink—had
that been found requisite. Happily the exertions of those
on board, and on shore, rendered this dernier resort un-
necessary. gp

After toiling for some time in the hold, and getting a
quantity of casks, bags of rags, &c., out of it, Mr.
Hewitt, guided by the colour of the smoke, at length hit
the right point upon which to play, and in alP,ut an hour
all further apprehension of the oil igniting was overcome.
The fire was found to have commenced near the keel.
amongst the rags and waste; and such had been its pro-
gies4, that several of the casks iS oil were so scorched
and charred that they fell to pieces. the contents running
down amongst the water that was thrown in. Some of
the old ropes were also completely reduced to tinder, and
a portion of the foremast, under deck, about four feet in
length, was charred, though not to any great depth. A
quantity of the soft soap also ran out of the packages,
trom the action of the heat, in the form of jelly.
One of the policemen on duty was rendered so insen-
sible by the suffocating smoke in the hold, that when
brought on deck, he feil down, and appeared to be all but
gone. He afterwards so far recovered, that he assisted
in hoisting up the goods. From what we can learn, about
ten large casks of oil were lost, also some of the soft soap,
and the cargo generally has, of course, been damaged.

MR. JAMES WARD'S PAINTINGS.—SeveraI of the
splendid paintings contributed by Mr. Ward to the late
Polytechnic exhibition at the Collegiate are, we see, ad-
vertised for sale. They are all by first-rate masters, and
worthy the inspection of connoisseurs.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE .—The dramatic corps of this
theatre are now advertiz;ng their benefits, and we learn
that the whole of the profits from their previi.us perform-
ances have been applied to forwarding temperance prin-
ciples.

SUTTO.N, THE GREAT MAGICIAN.-Mr. Sutton, the
wonderfully dexterous practicer of optical illusions, who
was eminently successful here a few years back, is again
about to open -the Liver Theatre, when several great no-
velties will be produced.

SWEEP FOR THE ST. LEGER.—It will be seen by an
advertisement in another column that Nlr. WWitman's
sweep for this great contest closes on Wednesday next.
A few names are yet wanting, but the satisfaction the
worthy host has hitherto given in affairs of this kind will,
we doubt not, insure a speedy completion of the list.

THEFT BY A SERVANT GlRL.—Ellen Burns, a ser-
vant girl, was yesterday committed for trial at the ses-
sions, on a charge of stealing a quantity of wearing ap-
parel, a blanket, and other articles from the house of her
mistress, and worth about 20s. She had pledged the pro-
perty, and when detected prayed to be forgiven, and she
would tell all.

Commurmirtr.—An ill-looking young man, named
Edward Ray, was yesterday placed before Mr. Rushton,
on a charge of being found concealed in the back yard of
the house of Mr. Quilliams, Great Crosshall-etreet, early
on Sunday morning. While he was in the dock, evideoce
was adduced that on the previous Thursday he had been
try•ng a number of the doors in Westmoreland-street
with an evil intent, and as be was known to be a bad cha-
racter, he was committed to gaol for three months.
STEALING SUGAR.—A boy named George Grice was
yesterday charged at the Police-court with stealing a large
loaf of sugar, weighing 41 lb. Police-officer Samuel Damn
saw the prisoner on Saturday carrying the sugar, and
questioned him respecting it. His answers were contra.
dictory, and he took him to two different places, saying
first he had got it at the one and then at the other, which
was false. It was afterwards found that he had stolen it
from the shop of Mr. George Scott, No. 6, Fox-street.
It was worth about 30s. Committed for It ial.
THEFT IN A SHOP.—Two young women, Ann Finnan
and Elizabeth Jones, were yesterday placed at the bar of
the Pol ce-court, on a charge of stealing in the shop of
Mr. John Rodgers, linen draper arid silk mercer, 141, St.
James's-street. On Saturday night the prisoners went
into the shop and priced several articles, of which they
bought small quantities. The shoriman turned his back
to hand something else down, and on returning to the
counter missed a piece of silk, and gave information to
his employer, who had them detained by two police-
officers. The prisoner Finnan dropped a piece of coloured
silk, and on Jones another piece was found. One piece
contained 8i yards, worth 4s. a plod; the other 21 yards,
worth 2s. 4d. a yard. The pri;orrer s, who said nothing in
defence, were committed for trial.

ROBBFRY OF PLATR.—On Saturday, a man named
Thomas Mason was brought before Mr. Rushton, at the
Police-court, on a charge of having carried off three silver
tea-spoons arid three silver forks from the house of Mr.
John Caton Thompson. in Bootle. It appeared from the
evidence of one of the female servants, that the prisoner
had occasionally been at the house in the way of his trade,
and was there on T.gursday last, fixing up a blind on the
window of the school-room. He afterwards went down
stairs to see the cook, and asked the witness if lie might
take a bit of toast which was on a tray it the butler's
pantry, on which the witness had seen the missing articles
half an hour before. She replied that he might, and went
into the pantry and took the toast. Some time elapsed
before the articles were missed, but she was of opinion
that no one else could bave taken them. It appeared,
however, that there was another person about that day on
the premises, and there were other circumstances of
doubt, so that the prisoner was discharged. The property
has not been recovered.

THE DUMB RESTORED.—On Saturday last, a person
named Michael Mickey was brought up at the Birken-
head police-court, on a charge of stealing a wedding rill,.
the property of Mrs. Lodge. The prisoner pretended to
be deaf and dumb, but on seeing one of the constables
who had previously known him, he suddenly recovered
his speech, and denied the charge. The evidence was
then heard, when it appeared front the statement of Mrs.
Lodge that, on Friday afternoon, the prisoner called on
her and told her, by motions, that she had had two dresses
stolen, which he would put her in the way of recovering
if she would pay him ss. Having lost the dresses as told
her by the prisoner, she bargained with him to have her
fortune told for 2s 6d. The prisoner then desired her to
lend hint her wedding ring " to do a charm with," which
she did. lie then told her to procure him a piece of cord,
and she left the room for the purpose. On her return, lie
showed a piece of paper in which he said he had wrapped
the ring, and told tier to tie a certain number of knots on
the string, and let it remain for twelve hours. However,
woman's curiosity could not contain so long, for the pri•
soner had scarcely left the house before she opened the
parcel, when she found the prisoner had exchanged her
gold ring for a brass one, so that she found herself minus
her wedding ring and half a crown. Information was
immediately given to the police, and the prisoner was ap-
prehended when about to take his departure by the boat
for Liverpool. Mr. Case (the magistrate), after remark-
ing on the foolish conduct of the complainant in allowing
herself to he so easily imposed upon, committed the pri-
soner to three months' hard labour in the house of
correction.

A YOUNG LADY COMMITTED ON A CHARGE OF
STEALING HER OWN HORSE !—Yesterday week, a
young lady, and a man named Argent, were brought
before the magistrates at the Town-hall, Birkenhead, on a
charge of forcibly taking away and possessing themselves
of a horse, to which it was alleged they h d no right or
title under the circumstances. A man named Joseph
Corf, a labourer residing at Bidston, said that on the 24th
of March the lady brought a horse to him to keep for a
few weeks, which lie received and kept from that time to
the 9th instant. On that day six men came, apparently
sailors, to his place, and the prisoner Argent demanded
the horse, in the name of some one—not the lady. He
refused, saying that he would not give it up to him or to
her either, unless its keep was settled for. Argent then
demanded, in the Queen's name, that it should be loosed,
he pretending to be a constable (which the others second-
ed), and saying that lie had been sent by Mr. Case, the
magistrate. A scuffle ensued, on the witness endeavour-
to secure the horse in an outbuilding. The female
prisoner at length came up, and, doffing shawl and bon-
net, flew at the witness with all her might, striking him
several times. Three of the men, thus encouraged, got
hien down, while another mounted the horse, and they all
went off together. Argent had hold of the halter. Wit-
ness added, that about a month ago he delivered a bill for
the keep of the horse, at 45. a week, and also for the keep
of some hens and geese, the former at 2d. and the latter
at Gd. a week. The lady said she had not been guilty of
any felony, and it was stated on her behalf by Mr. Wardle
that, having no use for the horse and the fowls at the time,
she merely agreed to allow him to keep them, he having
liberty to work the horse, and to have the eggs of the
others, which were fed on the common. The prisoners
Were, however, committed, with leave to find bail. The
trial, it is said, will take place at Knutsford, and will be
productive of some food for amusement when the details
are brought out. The bail required was not heavy,

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATIONS IN LONDON
AND LOSS OF LIFE.

(From Yesterday's London Papers.)

On Saturday morning, Lonion was visited by four dis-
astrous confl-igrations. Two burst forth almost simulta-
neously in Tooley-street, near London-bridge, and in
Fetter-lane, Fleet-street, the former being attended with
au enormous sacrifice of property in the total destruction
of Topping's Wharf, Sr. Olave's Church, Watson's tele-
graph station, several warehouses and vessels moored
alongside the wharf, and the latter resulting in a most
deplorable loss of bunion life.
The fire near London-bridge was observed, first of all,
at the rear of the warehouses and stores belonging to
N9e6srs. Ward and Co., oil and colour merchants. These

- .
premises extended between Upper and Lower Topping's
Wharf to the edge of the river. The fire in a few mo-
ments gained a most awful ascendancy, and the shipping
was for some time in great danger; but as the tide was
flowinT, all the vessels were cot out of danger, with the
exception of two slightly injured, end one which w is con-
sumed to the water's edge. Whilst the firemen were
protecting the shipping, however, the fire spread to both
Upper and Lower Topping's Wharf, the property of
Messrs. Scovell. These premises almost surrounded
Messrs. Ward and Co.'s warehouses, and the contigra-
tion immediately became terrific, whilst every now and
then loud explosions were heard to proceed from the cel-
lars under Ward's warehouses, which subsequently turned
out to be barrels of oil and turpentine bursting. It was
soon found that WatsoWs telegraph t ewer, which stood
between Mr. Ward's premises and Lower Topping's
Wharf, had taken fire, and that the devouring element
wls making rapid progress in the destruction of St.
Olave's Church.

The telegraph tower was an object of great attention
during the progress of the fire, owing to its peculiar con-
struction and great elevation above all the surrounding
premises, being nearly 150 fret in height. It was for-
merly used as a shot factory, but recently it has been pur-
chased by Messrs. Watson, of Cornhill, who had used it
as a telegraph s.stion for the communication of intelli-
gence from the Downs and other parts of the coast. For
nearly an hour, though it was situate in the very centre
of danger, singular to state, it withstood the ravages of
the fire. At last, however, about half-past two o'clock,
dense volumes of smoke were seen issuing from al the
windows from the basement to the summit. In an instant
alino7t the whole of the building burst into a vivid mass
of flame, which shot above the burning wharfand premises
to a considerable height. The tower being composed of
wood it continued hurtling furiously for an extraordinary
length of time; the floating engine of the brigade, the ope-
rations of %hid' excited considerable praise, attempted
to play upon it, but the intense mass of tire on the wharf
rendered it impossible to subdue the flames. while it
was equally impracticable for the land engines to force
water up to its summit. About half-past three o'clock
the whole of the tower fell with a tremendous crash
to the ground, sending forth a most terrific cloud of
smoke.

Immediately on St. Olave's Church being observed to
be in danger, seven engines were brought to play on to
that par' of the lower Topping's wharf which adjoined the
tower of the church. The fire, however, still raged on
with terrific fury, and in the course of five minutes it had
gained the tower, and forced the brigademen from their
stations on the roof. This, as may be readily supposed,
increased the consternation in the neighbourhood to a
most painful extent, and loud cries were beard from dif-
ferent parts of the multitude, " For God's sake, save the
church, save the church !" Alas! it was beyond human
power to do so, for within a quarter of an hour the roof
and the ceiling, which was considered, with the exception
of that of St. Stephen's. Wallbrook. to he one of the most
beautiful works of art to be found in the metropolis, was
in ruins. The deeds, communion plate, &c., were, with
great exertion, saved. The steeple before then was en-
veloped in flames, and in the subsequent quarter of an
hour the beautiful peal of hells fell from the belfry, the
greater part of them having been melted by the intense
body of fire which surrounded them whilst they were
hanging. Within the hour the destruction of St. Nave's
Church was complete, nothing remaining but the miter
walls and steeple, the interior being completely gutted.
The loss occasioned by the destruction of the church is
stated to be at least X 12,000. It appears that the sacred
edifice was built in the year 1725. and was dedicated to
St. Ohre, Hart-street. The living is at the disposal of
the Crown, and was founded 400 years ago. The church
could accommodate 2.000 persons, and was insured in the
Pliceitix Fire-office for £7,000.

_ •
The conflagration was finally 'arrested at seven o'clock,
but the engines continued playing the whole of Sunday.
The total loss is reported to exceed £70,000, of which
only a portion is insured.

A second confla2ration took place in the extensive rope
and twine warehouse of Mr. Seymour, carrying on busi-
ness at 24, Pudding-lane, Thames-street. The damage
done is considerable.

Whilst the fire was raging in Tooley-street, a considera-
ble piece of ignited ►imber was seen to fall into the chim-
ney of Mr. Jones, grocer, 268, 1-ligh-street, and the shop
was soon after discovered on fire. Much damage was
done to the stock and shop.

The fourth fire, which, we regret to state, has been at-
tended by the loss of no less than five human lives, oe.
curred about half-past three o'clock on Saturday morning
on the premises of Mr. William Newberry, a practical
chynnist, No. 60, on the west side of Fetter-lane, Fleet-
street. The I,wer part of the premises was filled with
chemical appuratmla of various dr,criprlona, and a large
stock of combustibles, whilst the upper part was rented
by a gentleman and his wife, of the name of Rose. It
appears that Mr. Newberry came home at a late hour,
and that shortly after his arrival a tremendous explosion,
which seemed to shake the foundation of the adjoining
houses, was heard. Several neighbours and a policeman
hastening to the spot whence the sound proceeded, dis-
covered the house in flames, the shop front blown to
atoms, and Mr. Newberry lying on the ground insensible,
with no apparel on but his night dress: They had scarcely
raised him when a piercing shriek was heard from the
apartments above, and on looking tip thay saw a gentle-
man with a wooden leg endeavouring to get out of the
third-floor window. His intention evidently was to drop
from the sill, but as the flames neared him his courage
failed, and he retired into the apartment, doubtless to
seek flight by another quarter, and in this he was foiled,
for in another instant he reappeared at the window, and,
uttering a cry of despair, precipitated himself headlong
into the street. It was thought that the fall had killed
him, for he exhibited no signs of life, and he and his un-
fortunate landlord were removed on shutters to the hos-
pital, but the latter expired in great agony shortly after
his admission, and the former, who proved to be Mr.
Rose, has since died. It also appears that the sisters of
Mrs. Rose, two maiden ladies of the name of M'Crendle,
had slept at the house that night, and before any assist-
ance could be rendered them they had perished, the dense
body of fire and flame succeeding the explosion render-
ing any attempt of their friends and neighbours to save
them abortive.

The house presented a mere wreck, and some idea of
the tremendous force with which the combustible matter
operated may be imagined from the fart that a chest of
drawers contained in the house was carried clear through
the wall at the back of the house to the extremity of
Bartlett's-buildings, a distance of fifty yards, forcing it
into a dairy, against which it struck.

Yesterday (Monday) morning, at half-past two o'clock
another extensive fire broke out in an unoccupied man-
sion, No. 16, Cambridge-square, Edgeware-road. In the
short space of ten minutes the entire building from the
basement to the roof was one body of fire, which shot
into the air a considerable height, and causing it to be
seen from nearly every part of London. By four o'clock
the fire was got under, but the adjoining mansion, occu-
pied by Mr. Stephenson, the eminent engineer, was
seriously injured.

COMMITMENT.—On Saturday, at tl.e Police-court, two
young men, before well-known to the police, were com-
mitted for trial at the sessions for stealing money to the
amount of 196., from the house of Richard Ellis, a market
constable. One of them opened the door, without knock-
ing, and took the money from the window. The other
stood at the bottom of the entry, and was afterwards seen
with some of it, which he put under his jacket and made
off, dropping a sixpence, which he did not wait to pick up.
The principal evidence was given by two little girls. A
key and a bad sixpence was found upon one of them, but
none of the other money was recovered.

CASE OF NUISANCE.—THE CORPORATION V. THE
PARISH.—At the Police-court, on Saturday, a complaint
(on information) was preferred against Mr. Pool, the
parish contractor for the street manure, for leaving a
quantity of night soil, &c. in Back Hope-street,
contrary to the local act. The complainants were Mr.
May and Mr. Knipe, inhabitants of liope-street, who
stated that the deposit in the street named was a nuisance
to the neighbourhood. Mr. Bushell, councillor for the
ward, (and also a member of the committee for regulating
such matters,) said he had visited the spot, and the com-
plaint was certainly well grounded. An inspector of po-
lice deposed to the same effect. Mr. Capes Ashlin ap-
peared on behalf of the parish, and contended that the de-
fendant was not liable, inasmuch as the spot named was
that appointed by the Council for such deposits. Mr.
Rushton, however, showed, by reference to the act, that
no rubbish or offensive matter could be legally laid down
withi❑ one hundred yards of any dwelling-liou-e, wi,
the permission of the occupants ; and he accordingly fined
Mr. Pool 40s. and costs for the offence.
Foc.—On Friday evening, about five o'clock, a fog
began to gather on this town and ❑eighbourhood, which
increased in density till towards nine o'clock, after which
it gradually dispersed, and the night became fine and clear.
No accidents that we have heard of occurred ; but between
eight and nine o'clock the mist on the river became so
thick and perplexing as to cause considerable confusion
on board the steam. boats and other vessels, and to pro-
duce considerable alarm to some and amusement to others
on board of them. Speaking trumpets, horns, bells, &c.
were put into requisition to avoid collision, and a large
gong, by way of bass-drum, was lustily thumped on board
of the floating stage—the whole, commingled with shouts,
cries, and mandates, forming a babel of sounds anything
but harmonious. Some of the river steamers ceased to
run after seven o'clock, and several of those that ven-
tured a trip were ludicrously seen steering in the opposite
direction from their intended ferries. The fog was, it
would appear, still more dense (in the afternoon as well as
the evening) in the outward channels. The Flambeau
steam-boat, from Bangor, was behind her time. At two
o'clock she was passed, having slackened her steam, by
