FlRE.—Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, a
fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Bradley, iron-
founde►, Maid-lane, St. Saviour's. The flimes had
communicated to a wooden pillar, which goes through
the centre of the house, and when d►scovered was
makiog rapid progress through the roof of the build-
ing; but in a few hours it was got under.
A duel was fought yete.day morning on Wimble-
don Common, het green Mr. Arrowsolith and Lieut.
Flynn, which ended in the former being wounded in
the thigh. The difference which occasioned the meet.
ing originated in a gaming dispute.
Mr. William Wilson, of Oxford•street, walking
along Tottenham.court.rond on Monday night, about
twelve o'clock, was attacked by two men dressed as
sailors, and armed with bludgeons, who knocked
him down and robbed him of his purse, containing
a el. note, a sovereign and three half Sovereigns.—
Mr. Wright, of Tottenham, was knocked down
near the same place on Sunday night, by two men
answering the description of the above, who, after
severely beating him, rifled his pockets of their con-

tents.
Monday afternoon, as the child of Mr. George
Freeman, builder, of John-street, Westminster,
was playing before the door with some other children,
a woman passing by took the infant, which was
about two years old, up in her arms, and going to-
wards the Horseferry-road, she was proceeding to
strip it, when a boy, who perceived the transaction,
immediately gave the alarm. The woman at-
tempted to make her escape; but tt►e molt overtook
her, and proceeded to execute summary justice on her
by drawing her ,throngh a pond. She would pro.
bably have fallen a victim to their vengeance; had it
nut been for the interference of a cousLahle.
