Fiess.—About ten o'clock on Thursday morning, a fire broke out

hs the Greyhound brewery, Chiswell Street, in the occupation of Mr. Pul- len. By the prompt attendance of the firemen, and having a plentiful supply of water, the flames were got under, after materially damaging the premises as well as the utensils. On Wednesday morning, a fire broke out in the lower part of the house of Mr. Evans, grocer and cheesentonger, in Tottenham. The premises and property of Mr. Evans were completely destroyed; his wife and family had a narrow escape in preserviug their lives in their night clothes only. On the same morning, a fire broke nut in a butter-shop in the occu- pation of Mrs. Teller, at the top of Doswell Street Road. The house was entirely gutted, and not a vestige of property was saved. Last night, a fire broke out at Mr. Richmond's chair manufactory, Banner Street, St. Luke's, which communicated to the extensive pre- mises of Mr. Colliver, smith ; the whole of the valuable property was completely destroyed.

Suicioss.—On 3Ionday, the body of a man named Charles Lingert was found in the Serpentine. Upon examining it, a dreadful gash, appa-

rently inflicted by a razor, was discovered in the centre of the neck. As no marks of blood were discernible on the banks of the river, it is sup- posed that the deceased must have waded into the water, and cut his throat while in that situation. From the testimony of the deceased's son it appeared, that he had formerly been a servant to the Duke of Kent, and subsequently to the Duke of Sussex. He was last in_the establishment of Ralph Bernal, Esq., which he quitted three months ago in consequence of an attack of erysipelas in his foot. He was latterly reduced to such severe distress that his mind gave way. On Tuesday, Thomas Walsh terminated his existence by swallowing a large dose of arsenic. The unfortunate man had been a cow- keeper and milkman, and brought up a large family in a most cre- ditable manner ; but in consequence of severe losses, he latterly became much reduced in circumstances.

Yesterday morning, a man of gentlemanly appearance, apparently about fifty years of age, seated himself on one of the benches near the Guard-house, and whilst several people were strolling about near the spot, deliberately drew a pistol from his pocket, and putting the muzzle to his mouth, discharged the contents through his head, and instantly expired. His lhien is marked " Greenwood." CHILDREN KILLED—On Friday last, the only son of Mr. Ricardo, of Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire, was killed by a fall from a pony. - On Saturday evening, a little girl, eight years of age, was killed by the wheel of the Fulham coach (4116) passing over her. The accident oc- curred in Pall Mall East. The coachman was much blamed by the bystanders, and the Coroner's Jury gave a deodand of 20/. against the coach.

-DuowsoNa.--A man named Fordham, attached to the Swedish em- bassy, was found drowned in the Serpentine on Saturday morning, at the corner of the rail which has been put up to prevent such accidents. It was observed, when the rail was put up, that it left the danger nearly . as great as it found it, if not greater.

MowNuse.—Yesterday morning, a little boy was wantonly pushed into the Regent's Canal, near the White Bridge, elaiden Lane. by one .a his companions, and drowned. The boy that pushed him in endea- voured to get him out again, but was unable to effect his purpose.

TREASURE TROVE.—A few days ago, as some workmen were pulling • down an old house at East Harlsey, mar Northallerton, they found a great quantity of old gold coin, chiefly guineas of the reign of Queen Anne, and some George I. and other coins.—D irh'tm Chronic'e.

TERRIBLE FIRE AT BOMEAY.—A great fire broke out at Mo ilmein on the morning of the 4th January, by which the market-place and about - three hundred of the principal houses outside of the BUM, were destroyed, .a id several lives wens lost, and many persons seriously injured ; most Of the canoes in the river were also destroyed, and many dead betties were picked up from thence, supposed to be those of persons who had been left in the (aloes. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that scarcely a single -domestic animal escaped.—Barnbey Papers, 30th January. Potsosixo.—At the hospital of St. Esprit, at Toulon, on the 16th in- stant, there had Nell a distribution of soup to the poor; but the whole supply not being exhausted, the remainder was put by in the (tippet- -boilers in which it had been made till the next day, when it was divided -between twelve pour old women, and within a few hours after every one of them expired in dreadful agony.
