lug, about two o'clockithe alarm-bells were rung, in
consequence of a fire being discovered in the Yard, by
otie of the sentinels belonging to the battalion of de-
tachments on duty at that fortress ; but owing to the
' alertness of the men of this battalion in bringing the
engines to the spot, and their exertions in supplying
them with water, the fire was got under s ithout do-
ing any material injury.
Amidst the extraordinary schemes of ingenuity
which the modern arts are daily adopting to assist
nature, may be classed os•e that is expected to be
brought before Parliament this Sessions by one of the
Staffordshire. Canal Companies, for raising vast ho•
dies of water to elevated reservoirs by steam engines,
for a regular supply in stammer, when the canal war
tern are found too low:

From a proclamation which has appeared in the
Glasgow pipers, it appears that some riots in that
place has been occasioned by the weavers interrupt-
ing such of their associates as are working at a lower
rate of wages than that lately fixed Ity
A meeting of tanners, shoe-manufacturers, &c.
was held in Stafford, on Wednesday last, when it

Ronal duty laid on leather in the last Parliament.
Mr. SEYMOUR, who is announced for the per:
romance of Richard the Third, at Covent.garden
Theatre, is the author of a work on SHAREMPEARE,
that does honour to him as a Critic and Philologists
He has considerable provincial repute as an actor.
The account which has been given of the hist days
of Coeur, the actor, is probably without any founds',
lion, as Mr. nougats, who was upon the split when
he died, far from representing him to have beets hi
the forlorn and destitute situation described iu that
account, states, that Cooze, by hls marriage in
America, had procured very respectable connections,
and that his wife's family administered all the cm.
forts which his illness required, till it terminated in
his death.—Front Mr. lioLmates account, it appears
also that Cosmic seemed to be duly sensible of his
'errors, and of the awful condition to which they
had reduced him.
Gaccrre IlLiesnego.—A late Cic=ette announced
the presentation of a Clergyman to the parish of Orr,
of (Ire, in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, in
Scotland, which was stated to be vacant by the death

Edinburgh Paper, however, corrects the Gracile,
observing that the late incumbent, Dr. MURRAY, is
l'rofessur of Hebrew and Oriental Languages in the
University of Edinburgh ; and that so far from be:
ing dead, as thus officially declared, the Doctor isi
fortunately for the interests of Learning, in most ex-
cellent health.
Lord Prrennonottost has sold his house in Port-
man-square, for 13,0001. to Lord Kexyor4. It was
built by Sir ROBERT TAYLOR for Sir CHARLES As.
omr., and except the Richmond Villa for the same
Sir CHARLES, was one of the prettiest he ever built.
Yet Lord K. is laying out more money on it.—What
would Ilw Old Lord say ?
When Lord PETERBOROUGH had sold his house to -
Lord KercroN, he would fain have bought it back,
with the loss of a Thousand Guineas !—So that, if it
need be questioned " What the old Lord K. would
say ?" it must be, not upon buying the house, but
upon the not selling it
A daring attempt was made, on Thnrsdny night, to
break into the farm-house belonging to Mr. NVood,
of Ilanger-hill, near Acton. The thieves first tried
to cuter at the parlour *Wow, but failed, owing to
some iron bars tiled inside. They then attempted to
cut a passage through the main brick work, and had

sufficiently large to admit a boy into the bed-room of
Mr. Brickengall, the when they were disco-
vered, bat unfortunately effected their escape.
