MORNINO.—This morning, about two o'clock• an alarming fire broke out at Long's Hotel, Bond..street. The Rainer a peered first in one of the attics, and communicated to the floor beneath ; but by the prompt attendance of the engines and exertions of the firemen, the conflagration was confined to the upper stories of the house, which were totally destroyed A party of the Guards attended on the first alarm. ThiS disaster, it is reported, was orra.ioned by a valet of a Gentleman who lodges in the Hotel, having gone to bed in a state of intoxication. The body of the person who committed Suicide last night, near Waterloo bridge, was we understand, recognised this morning by a person from the Excltange Coffee House, in the Strand ; hut his name has not transpired. His linen is marked with the letters I. H. On Tuesday morning, the female nt of Miss Laev.in South-street, Chichester, was alarmed by the welter fire, which she ascertained to proceed from the bed-room of her mistress, where it appeared that a lighted candle had fallen from out of the socket of the candlestick, and set fire to the bed furniture. Miss L. was asleep. and course unconscious of her darigere.-.:. With difficulty she, was aroused and extricated from her perilous situation unhurt. The bed furniture wee eaurely CODSUIDeti.: EXtTii4 Me. 26.—0 n Monday evening last, about ten o'clock, this city was thrown into the greatest alarm. in consequence of a fire breaking out in the premises of Mr. Greenslade, druggist, South Street. The fire originated in the warehouses, behind the dwelling house, and burnt with great violence, so that fears were entertained for the mljuiiiing house, and also for the Unitarian Chapel, which is closely connected—but, by the timely arrival of the engines, and from the exertions-of the firemen and inhabitants, the dames were got under without spreading farther than the warehouse, which is entirely consumed. Youth of both sexes are particularly advised to attend to that inestimable ornament, the Human Hair, as that attended coin youth is a sure pres..rvative, and fixes a Atamiaa fur a beautiful head of hair. The only article that really possesses nutritious virtues for promoting • luxuriant growth et hair is ROWLAND'S MACAsStit OIL, which eradicates the scurf nay and pleasant, prevents the hair felling off or turning grey, strengthens and produces beautiful flowin.r earls. and renders hair that is harsh and dry. as soft, sino.stli, and glossy as silk. As impostors purchase the empty bottles, and offer for sale a pernicious composition instead of the genuine, it is indispeusatsly necessary to ask for Rowland's; and observe, the prices are fns. 6d., Ts. • 10s. 6d. • aid 21s. ; and each genuine bottle is wrapped ' lo a book. and signed on the outside In red—" A.

NQUEST....-.An inquisition was tak cu  yesterday at Sunbury, hliddle•es, before Mr. Hooosox, Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of a master carpenter, in Jertnyu-street, who was found drowned in the Thames, at Sunbury, on Saturday last. It appeared in evidence, that the de.. ceased, who was an industrious, respectable tradesman, left his house in Jet-ors:street, on the morning of Monday se'nnight, anti be was not heard of afterwards. He was found by some fishermen in the River on Saturday, and tbr body seemed to )save been two or three days in the wa. ter. He had been seen in the nfighbourhood in the early part of the week, and his loose conduct' attracted some notice. It appeared also that the deceased was subject to fits of derangement, and in this situation he had before attempted suicide. Verdict—Lunacy. The report of the death of lady EctioT, lately, at Worthing, in consequence of a dreadful *eel. dent, we find, was out correct. It was Miss ISAner.t.A ELLIOT, youngest daughter of the late NICUOLAS ELLIOT, Lbq. of Winterborne Ginner, neer Salisbnry. Miss ELLIOT was walking near Worthisegos hen she was met by a boy on horse.. back, and the buy being unable to manage the horse, she was beaten down against a wall, her skull was fractured, and this melanCholy accident occasioned her death. Her remains were brought to Winterbortie, on Saturday, and deposittd in the family vault.

THE RECENT ELOPEMENT IN HIGH  LIFE.  The Dublin Post reports some further facts in connection with the elopement of the Hon. Mrs. Vivian with the Marquis of Waterford. It seems thet for some time past the lady's name has been mentioned in circles in connection with the ruttier of her flight, and that her disappearance was not wholly unexoceted. She kft her home on Monday morning, alleging that she hue: dcd to proceed to Brighton to see her mother, and that she would return the same evening. As, however, she failed to make her appearance, Captain Vivian proceeded to the Victoria Station, and tiere ascertained that the Marquis of Waterford and Ars. Vivian had the previous morning taken tickets for Paris, by way of Dover, accompanied by a friend. He followed them to the French capital, and soon found the object of his search at a well-known hotel. Mrs. Vivian heard of her husband's arrival, and locked herself up in an inner chamber. Captain Vivian, however, succeeded in obtaining assistance, and burst open the doors. He then ascertained that Mrs. Vivian had attempted to commit suicide by swallowing chloroform. The quantity taken was not, however, sufficint to cause more than partial insensibilty. Captain Vivian is understood to have implored his wife to return, for the sake of her four children, but that she peremptorily refused, although her husband assured her that her escapade should be kept a profound secret. The lady, however, remained firm in her determination not to return to the shelter of her home, but pleaded that she might be allowed to retain her youngest child. This request Captain Vivian declined to comply with, and returned to London without having encountered the Marquis of Waterford. The latter has, it is believed, caused a communication to be made to Captain Vivian that when the Judge Ordinary of the Divorce Court shall have dissolved the legal ties which now prevent his marrying Mrs. Vivian, he will, as a man of honour, make her the only compensation in his power
