A most destructire fire broke out on Tuesday right
last, in the stack-yard upon the premises of Mr. Reed,
farmer, otOorleston, Suffolk, by which four slack' of hay,
two of oats. one of wheat, and a very large straw-stark
were entirely consumed.—The stacks continued burning
the whole of the following day, and considerable appre-
hensions were entertained tot the safety of a very large
stack of batlev and the whole of the buildings upon the
farm; and had the wind only shifted to the southward,
nothing could have saved them from destruction. Tice
loss is estimated at about 6001.

horses took fright at a horse and cart that were pasifiag,
and ran across the road ; their progress was stopped by
one of the hind wheels coming in contact with a post;
bat the concussion was so great, that the passengers on
the datikle (consisting of Mr. and Mts. Moore of Chanles-
Street, Hampstead-road, and Mr. William Ridett, of No•
37, George-street, Portman-sqUare) were precipitated into'
the road. Mrs. Moore fell with her stonlach on the wheel
by which she was so seriouslyinjured, that yesterday she
was given over by the physician. Mr. Moore, bet bus-
