A respectable pawnbroker was sumnioaed .before the
Magistrate by Miss Watson, a performer at the Surrey
Theatre, for having refused to deliver up a gold watch
that bad been stolen from her.
After hearing the parties, the Magistrate said it ap-
peared that Miss Watson had neither used reasonable
precaution to secure her property, nor due diligence to
recover it ; and, as site had not given any notice to pre-
vent pawnbrokers receiving it, she was not entitledto
get it back without payment of principal and interest,
and therefore dimissed the complaint.

DXSTRIICTITII AND matte Fie.AT BLAVIIIIVALLi—
About ten o'clock on Tuesday forenoon the neighs,
hourbood of Blackwell was thrown into considen
able confusion, in consequence of a very alum.
iog fire breaking out in the extensive starch minutia
tory of Messrs. Morris and Constable, close to Squiriim
Green's dockyard. The buildings, which were very
large, were composed for the chief part of wood..assi
had been only a fortnight erected. An excise O&M,
who bad been on the premises in the morning, remark-
ed that the steam engine, by the aid of which the starch
was dried, was above heat, and this person had hardly
(Hued the manufactory when the games burst forth
with alaresiug fury, from the heat of the engine having
ignited sonic portion of the wood in the drying room.—
All efforts to save any put of the manufactory wore
Abortive, all was reduced to a Leap of smoking ruins.—
The flames bail communicated to the Old lisle public
house, to Mr. Kingsall's plumbei and glazier, and an
she prendses of Mr. Groves, live stock feeder, all of 'chick
were materially damaged. The wind was very high at
the time and drove souse of the embers to Squire Green's
dockyard, on the opposite side of tlse way, which set
on tire, and shortly destroyed a shed there, ant did •
_rood deal of damage to time foreman's dwelling Lease,
and would in all probability have destroyed not oily
the whole yard, but immediate neighbourhood, bad aos
,he wild shifted from that direction shoat eleven
.'cluck. The greatest praise is due to the firemen an..
leighboors for iheir exertions. The proprietors of do
ouch manufactory were not insured, and we were is
'cooled that the hiss sustolued by them is very coosi
terabit.
