BRIGHTON, Jura. 22.

Yesterday, a fire broke out in the stubble field
belonging to Mr. Wills, of .-Old Bell Farm, near
a Salim Pad Posting.house, between Brighton and
Arundel, which consemed the ricks, barns, husbandry
implements, icc.. .Up to a Istethnor this morning the
times were not 'anguished. The following is said
to be the cause of Ws event :—Mr. Wills, being de.
~irons to clear iris grounds, ordered his men to mow
the stubble; bat his orders being disobeyed, in a
moment of impatience Mr. set it on fire, which
Ito sooner lighted,•tban it spread over the surface of
the land, and commenicated with the rick yard, where
the whole of his produce was stacked, which was
ecrem consumed by the devouring element.
Last night, anutherfire broke out at Mr. Wilkins's,
grocer, in this towo; tut the timely and spirited es.
aistance of a few passing' individuals soon eztermi-
Bated the progress of the flames.

On Thursday last, • 'Meeting of till friends of Mr.
KECK, took place by advertisement at the Swans Inn,
Market Ilarboroogh, when, after making a few lu-
minous speeches upon the transcendent abilities of the
Bs- Member, and his "suitableness" to represent this
County, the comliany, about twenty in number, sat
down to a sumptuous dinner, to celebrate the return
el G. A. L. KECK, Esq. at the next General Election,

MINISTRRIA
•
1111.TUOUTII, Ana. 22.—We have been inespect- ,
edix favoured with a visit by Lord Liverpool, the
Prime Mioister, who arrived at the Fountain Hotel,
on Sunday list, for the purpove of 'viewing that stn.;
pendoos ondertakistg, the Breakwater, the Sound,
in which he
.takes a deep interest, and of which, on
inspecting it the following day, he espressed .the
highest degree of satisfaction. His Lordship also
paid considerable..itleution to the state of the Dock-
yard and shipping, beinglparticular in his enquiries on
I.every. point connected with them. He went on
bird the St. Vincent which has been opened to
•
mune eateot for a minute survey, and was much gra-
tified at.receiving the most farourihle report from the.
shiP,w light officers of the soundness of her condition,
which affords the best ground to hope that this fine
ship will last as long, sod.) ield as much satisfaction by
her services to the Public, as the venerable Officer
with whose name she has been honoured. It app osrs
that his Lordship was led to hope, that the other ships,
which have been ordered to be opened, would be
fOund in an equally .good condition. After esamin-
Hag the Breakwater on Monday, his Lordship, ac-
companied by Lord gsmouth, proceeded to the new
watering place in Bovisand Bay. The teservoir being
nearly completed, Mr. Whidby had the water let
into it for the first •time, in the presence of his
Lordship, who, together with Lord 1.-:stnouth, seem-
ed fully sensible of its. utility and advantages. The
',halation iof the reservoir is highly romantic, and
united with the services it is capable of rendering to
our ships and fieet4, fornis an object of peculiar at-
traction to the picturesque eye and the , patriotic
mind. On Tuesday his Lordship dined with the Earl
of Mount Edgcumbe, being received on landing with
a salute of seventeen pans from the battery at Barn-
pool. The following morning his Lordship took his
departure for London.
