hour perceiving a rat deal of smvlce issuing from above
the shop window. Alarm was instantly given, 571.1 assist.
ance obtained, by which several pers..ns succeeded in for:-
ing the shop shutters and gaining admission to the
prrusisos. In the passage of the house was an elderly lady
named Bomor, running about in great trepidation, having
just time to scramble down stars in her night
clothes before the flames had remilied the stair case.
She was taken to the.bonse of a neighbour. So rapid was
thirpgogress e•of the, flames, that before two o'clock the
interior of the premises was completely consumed. The
prisoner was not seen on that night; but on the follow.
ing 3londay he was observed by some of the oeighhostr•,
approaching his late dwelling.. lie was immediately sqr•
rounded by a great matey per serve, who hisser: and hooted at
him, and charged biro with !eeing set tire to his hmisc ;
and had not the utiieers exerted thetuselees for bas
protection, he would in all probability have met s it'a
!ruminate punishment. Ile was. convoyed to the. watch-
house fur safety, and in his progress thither told tea
oflle.v that be knew the house was on fire twenty minutes
before he left the lions...

A great many nitnesses were in atten•lance to give

Pdper went to press.

THRATRICAL DISAPPOINTMENT.--EXTENSIVE TiOntliatT.
—Considerable disappointment took place lest evening, t
consequence of the Olympic Theatre being unexpectedly
closen arishig (it is said) from a dispute between Mr.
ElListon, the lessee, and the present min iger, relative tl
pereniary matters, and the former refusing to selfer
curtain to rise until all demands were satisfseto•l'y
arranged. The crowds assembled io front of this theatre
were excessively numerous, end the greatest ceninsion pre-
vailed until the opening of the doors, when it Was annour c-
ed that " there would be no perforaiaaces." When
the disappointed maltitude dispersed, the act •r•
