Iodger at the Globe Inn, who was killed in
the warehouse OF Mr.. George Hoffman, by
the fall of a bale of goods WHICH was low
ering with block and tackle, when the rope
gave way. He was about "a years OF eye
and had just commenced business IN the
mercantile line, under the auspices of col.
Sheffey, one Of the Virginia delegates in
Congress. The FIRE is supposed TO have
been the work Of some vile inceudiay.
With the greatest regret we have to state
that most affecting event occurred at the
FIRE on Saturday night. MIR. Peter Straw,
a respectable stranger, and trader, from
Wythe county, Va. who had his lodgings
at Mr.. Ful,on's, perceiving the hazard to
which all the property Of that square was
exposed, removed, early in the alarm, his
effects to an opposite neighbours, out of i'm
mediate danger, and thea proceeded TO a
warehouse adjoining Mr.. Fulton's Globe
lnn, where he had been dealing, for n.c
laudable purpose of assisting 10 the removal
of properly. In a few seconds after his en-
Try into the warehouse, being with others
engaged in removing packages from under
the well.hoe, the rope OF heavy bale.
(Which was descending by block and, tackle,
and had got,about halt way down from AN
upper story gave way, and MIR. Straw was
almost instantly killed by its weight, which
struck him on the neck and shoulders. He
was Immediately removed to d.. Craw-
ford's tor medical aid, but alas it was un-
availing.
After the coroner's inquest Cat 0r,Craw.
lord's) the corpse was removed to Mr.. Full
toms and decen,ly inferred in St. Paui's

We deem it due to the d;stan. relations

ST ae the circumstances of his unt!mel y and
melancholy fate.

In reply to your note, left late last
night at my house, the Information
have concerning the double duty on
timber, ] had yesterday from Mr..
Blackburne, M. P. as follows
That the duty on Oak Timber, of
all sorts, is to take place on the 1st of
Jan. next; and on fir, and all other
sorts, in Jan. after, (say 1922 On
which Mr.. Blackburhe Justly remarks,
that the next session will give US suf-
6cient time to counteract both.
! &C 1t appears to me, that government
have gone, too far 60 withdraw the bill
in toto. That on receiving the several
memorials, the ministers found they
were wrong in the measure partially
represented TO them, by Interested spe-
culators, and that by putting the dates
at the above distances, they have rem.
dered the bill harmless without with.
drawing it.'
