the darkness of the night, had flown through into tha

on Sunday night, a fire brok out in a back room on
the first floor at No. 24, Upper Titchtield-streel,
which threatened destruction to the premises ; hut
by the judicious exertions of some gentlemen ia b.;

Friday, Joseph Gibson, seaman of his Majesty's
ship La Loire, sentenced to sutler death, for ma-
ticttrosty stabbing Lieutenant Croker, Buffered the
sentence pissed upon him, en board that ship at
Spithead.--His behaviour since his condemnation
proved that he had been convinced of the henious-
IleiS of his crime ; when he was conducted to the
forecastle he shook hands with Captain Brown and
Lieutenant Croker, whose forgiveness he constantly
entreated, saying, he did not intend to take away
the life of Lietenant C. though he felt his crime was
deerving of punishment. He hoped his fate would
bee warning to his shipmates.—At eleven o'clock the
fatal gun tired, and his spirit was dismissed into
eternity. The unfortunate man had been Szliool-
master of the Loire, but his re►tless violent conduct
tint only deprived him of the situation, but caused
his shipmates to avoid his company.—He belonged
