FROM THE oLDNCOUCH.

AT the late fire in this town, behtld,
with grief, the tardiness of the citizens in
assembling, and their confusion and un-
wieldiness when assembled. This, how
ever. is not to be wondered at, where no
sy stem is adopted whereby every spectator
can be employed to the Disadvantage. At
scene so awful, and (happily) so unusual
as that which presented itself, the great ma
iority of those assembled, are struckGmo-
t,ionless, in the contemplation of the mighty
element. 1t is obvious, that a disease, ra'
pid in its progress, and all destroying, should
have remedy of immediate efficacy. 1t Is
every mans duty, at going to bed (besides
saying his prayers) always to lay his apPa-
rel in such a manner, that he can in The
dark, instantly put his hands on it. # the
cry of fire alarm him in the night, he should
first order light into the front windows, call
his male servants Gas for the female ones,
curiosity will bring them soon enough dress
himself with all possible expedition, not
regarding whether the nech-clo,h be tied in
the FIRST taste, or the waisttoat De buttoned
even or uneven snatch his buckets, bags,
&c. and repair to the scene Of action: there,
the utmost silence should be observed, the
better to hear the orders Of the o8Icers:-
these should be men of ceolness-perfectly
collected-proli6c of happy exped'ents-
mechanically judicious-i ntrepid-enemies
TO all needless sacrifice of property. The
First orders are gene' ally to form line to
the neares: water :--here the want OK sys.
tenn is peculiarly apparent. Instead Of croud-
ing as close to each other as men can stand
there should be space between each enc
Of faur feet at this distance they can hand
water, not only more expeditiously, but
more easily, and with less waste. Every
person who stands in less space than this,
IS dong an INJURY tor the one VINO passes
the bucket TO him, could, with its natural
swing, SIS it with greater ease, to the per-
son beyoad him, than to him: he, there
fore, instead of acce!erating, retards. its
progress and he should SO Immediately
where he can do most in the cause OF suf
fering humanity. The FIRE companies here
migh, doubtless, make several little i'm.
provemen,s in systematizing they, how
ever, have done more than in many places,
as to individual pecuniary exertion, and for
less consideration. Exemption from mill
,ary duty, to similar societies, is usual, else
where, and it is the least compliment that
copld be paid to their llberaity here. Not
tha, any of them think il grievance to take
an hours walk, each month, in their coun.
trr's service, with the arms that nature
gaze them the exemption should be made,
not as a favor, but as an etiquette due to
them.
Hurricane Of the 18th September.

that in passing meridian It did not exceed
one minute. But the most melancholy
event ia its whole train is the total
demolition Of the house and barn Of a
Mr.. Hardy, in Bradford, which were taken
off their foundations, and being carried a.
bout thirty or forty rods were dashed TO
pieces, under the ruins Of which was after
wards found his youngest child, a daughter
Of two years old, which alive, yet was SO
bruised and lace, ated that she soon expired !;
but Mr.. Hardy and wife we hear are in a
recovering way. All his furniture was
swept away and some of the bedding has
since been found lodged on objects many
miles distant; but such is the power, wis
dom and goodness of him who holds the
wind in his fist, SWAPS the seeptre Of univer.
sal government, and in the midst Of judg-
ment remember mercy, that we hear ofno
other loss of life, either of man or beast.
The sudden and unexpected attack of the
tempest in the time of profound sleep, the
roaring with which it was accompanied, the
violence of its operation, the crushing of
surrounding objects, the anxiety of the suf-
frrers not only for their property bat for
their lives, their fear of being struck dead
by objects hurled through the air should
they attempt to fee, and all this added to
the almost impenetrable darkness of the
night, nust have produced delerium of
imagination that rendered the sufferers si,u-
alton dreadful beyond description.
The principal sufferers in Newbury, are
Mr.. John Little, Mr.. Joseph Newal, Mr..
James Smith, Mr.. Samuel Thurlo, Mr.. O.
liver Dole. Mr.. Abel Chase, Mr.. Joshua
Ordway, Mr.. David Ordway, widow. Is.
ley, and widow Adams all whose cases
being somewhat similar, fall underline above
general description respectively, the case of
death excepted.
In Bradford, (another correspondent in
forms u.s. the effects of the hurricane were
peculiarly remarkable; besides the demoli-
tion OF Hardy's house, large sticks of timber
were removed to the distance of 40 rods

and carried to the same distance rocks
weighing half a ton, was taken from the
peaceful bosom of the earth, where they
had slept for ages, and removed a consider
able dlstance-in short, the power of de-
se,iption totally fails to give an accurate
idea of the dreadful ravagss which were
made, and which can only he family con.
ceived by actually Witnessing the effects it
produced. The horrors of midnight dark
ness, attended by the tuInuIt and convul-
sions of the troubled atmosphere, were so
tremendous, that the aErighted neighbor.
hood thought the end Of time had arrived,
and the consummation of all things here
below would quick succeed.

FROM IRELAND

By the brig Sarah, capt. Barnes, arrived
this morning from Dublin, we have rece;v.
ed file OF Irish papers to The 25;h of Au.
gust inclusive, but as the dates are No
later than those already received from Lon.
don, they contain very little Interesting
matter. We have made trw extracts for
this days paper. Ii is stascd in the Dub.
lin correspondence tie Amsterdam Mon.
iteur has been suppressed by direction Of
Bonapar,e. The emperor is determined to
have no printers in his do'ninions but VIA,
are under his control. From an aruo,e
which we copy from the Dublin L. Post,
it seems that the Paris Argus lately SUP.
pressed by Napoleon was nor CONQUERED by
Mr.. O'Connor. Had MIR. OCoHaor been
thu editor, perhaps the emperor would have
suffered the paper TO live, as tina; gyn;leusan
appears to be- one Of the most devoted q
