ALA R I NG FIRE.-(Extract of a private letter, Liverpool, May L.)-" Abouthalfpast 9 o'clock last night, the ship Dorset was discovered to be on fire in thc P-rince's Dock. Immediately assistance I wIas rendered, and by great exertions the flames were kept under, and thevessel, assoon as the tidc allowed, was taken out of the Dock into the contiguous basin, and there scuttled; but from the nature of the cargo (cotton) she would not sink. The flames burst nut again about halt-past four this morning, and were not extin- guished without much injurv to the vesseL She is now full of wa- ter, and the cargo will receive considerable injury. This accident might have beenjattended with the most ruinous effects, had it not happened at so early an hour, and property to an iimmense amount would, no doubt, have faUen a sacrifice. This is the only instance of a fire on board of a ship in the Liverpool docks since the year 1765."' It was MIr. WVebster, and not' Mr. Mercer, wbo undertook ilMr. Harley's pa-t of Pompey, in AMeaszurefor M1reasure, on Satur- day evening. A woman of the name of Catsely, aged 73, who has for several years been a pauper of the parish of St. Themias, near this city, died on Wednesday last (28th ult.) lVhen on her death-bed, she informed the woman who attended her as nurse, that she had a concealed treasure of gold, silver, and bank-notes, amounting to be- tween three and four tun rei pounds! and Rctuallv crawled on her hands and knees to show where it was hidden. Previonslv to her death, a relative. who had beeen informed of the drcumstance, came and took possession of the hoard.-ExeterGazcttc. ACCIDENT.-On Saturday evening last, as Lord Cran- stoun was riding in IIyde Park on a spirited horie, the animal took fright and ran away with him.

Sir,-At the meeting of the CiLy of London Bible Society, in the Mandion.bouse, on.Thursdav last, I 8tated, that I knew an in- stance of a very learned and old roan in the Universitvof Gottingen, who had declared that his serious attention had never been drawn to the Bible before the Bible Institution of that town. Having since discovered that this htatemeat2 which I thought quite correct, is not supported on sufficient authority, I hasten, for the sake of truth, to contradict it, and to declaTC that I may have been inadvertentlv kM m its all error.

Jame7S Acxa4nder Wood, a person of very respectable appearanee, was opposed by 1r. POLLOcCK, on behalf of two credlitorx residing in Cambridge. IThe insolvent, when at Caribridge University, contracted the debts for which he now sought his discharge. One wvas.an enormous horse-dealer's bill, for riding horses; and theother was for confectioneries, desserts, &c. These, the leamed counsel who opposed the iusolvent contended, were not expenses that might be conSidered as necessaries; and he ought not, therefore, to be relieved by the Court. Mfr. COOKE was of a different opinion; and considered, that the rank of a student at the University could not be properly maintain- ed, unless he had suitable allowances. The COURT observed, that a student would be much better with- out those extravagances, and theenormous expensespinched parents blue. It was rather improper for tradesmen to supply the various students vith extravagant articles of consumption. rt was not, however, meant to be said that such a debt, if contracted, was not to be allowed: at the same time, if thev lost a debt sometimes, they would ultimately see themscles well paid. The Court were of opinion, that the imprisonment the insolvent had undergone was a 5U cient punishment, and he should therefore be discharged. INSOLVE;NT DEBTORS' COURT, TUESDAYS APnIL 13.
